Talk:William Wells (soldier)

Image from Chicago
Is this sculpture from the DuSable Bridge a depiction of William Wells? It depicts the Battle of Fort Dearborn and shows a US captain defending the US retreat from native forces. Also, the inscription below mentions Wells by name. I'm trying to find a source that explicitly names Wells as the subject of this sculpture, but I haven't found one, yet.

 * I would guess the sculpture depicts Nathan Heald, since Wells was said to have been dressed as a Miami, but either way it would be interesting to know the answer. Kevin1776 (talk) 21:12, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

 * As you may know, the DuSable Bridge article claims the figure represents George Ronan, though the claim is not supported by a citation. Kevin1776 (talk) 01:30, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * No, I completely missed that line in the DuSable Bridge article. Thanks for pointing that out.  I didn't think Ensigns and Lieutenants wore two epaulettes, but I'd have to look that up to verify.  Either way, you're correct that Wells was apparently not in uniform.  Thanks! Canute (talk) 18:21, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Susannah Dyson
I removed the following addition to the article. Ancestry.com is not a reliable source. Also, I went through the Heath book (2015) and found no mention of Susannah Dyson nor Henry Wells. From what I can tell, Wells had a Native American wife with one son (both kidnapped by U.S.), a second wife (daughter of Little Turtle), and then a third wife, Mary "Polly" Geiger, to whom he was still married when he died in 1812. "Wells married Susannah Dyson and had at least 1 child Charles, Henry Wells (1841-1881) who emigrated to England. (Source Ancestry.com)"

Lawrence Phillips

Lawrence Lamond Phillips (May 12, 1975 – January 13, 2016) was an American football running back who played in the National Football League (NFL) for three seasons. A highly touted collegiate prospect, Phillips' professional career was cut short by legal troubles that continued up until his death.

Phillips won the 1995 Orange Bowl and the 1996 Fiesta Bowl playing college football for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, which led to him being selected sixth overall in the 1996 NFL draft by the St. Louis Rams. However, his frequent legal problems and inconsistent performances resulted in the Rams releasing him near the end of the 1997 season. After playing only two games for the Miami Dolphins, Phillips pursued a comeback with the San Francisco 49ers in 1999, but was released due to questions over his work ethic. He last played professionally in the Canadian Football League (CFL) for two seasons with the Montreal Alouettes and Calgary Stampeders. With the Alouettes in 2002, Phillips was named an All-Star and won the Grey Cup before further legal problems and work ethic concerns ended his career the next season.

Remaining in trouble with the law, Phillips was serving a 31-year sentence on assault convictions when he was charged in 2015 for murdering his cellmate. While awaiting trial, he was found dead in solitary confinement, which was ruled a suicide.

Early life
Phillips was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, and later moved to California, where he grew up in foster homes. He attended West Covina High School in West Covina, California for his freshman and sophomore years. He was a varsity starter both on offense as a running back and defense as an outside linebacker. He then attended Baldwin Park High School in Baldwin Park, California for his junior and senior years, and his team won a CIF championship his junior season, which attracted the attention of colleges, including the University of Nebraska.

College career
In 1993, his freshman year at University of Nebraska, Phillips gradually worked his way up the player ranks. He came off the bench to rush for 137 yards and a touchdown in the Cornhuskers' 14–13 win against Pac-10 champion UCLA. In the second half of the 1994 Orange Bowl, he sparked the Husker ground game, carrying 13 times for 64 of the 183 rushing yards against a formidable Seminole defense. All but one of Phillips' carries came in the fourth quarter, during which he scored on a 12-yard touchdown run. This game established him as the primary running back in the Cornhuskers’ offense.

By his sophomore year, Phillips became the focal point of the offense because of injuries to quarterbacks Tommie Frazier and Brook Berringer. He tied a school record by rushing for 100 yards or more in 11 straight games in 1994 despite frequently playing against eight or nine-man defensive fronts. Against the #3 Miami Hurricanes, Phillips had 96 yards on 19 carries, including a 25-yard run that was the longest rushing play the Hurricanes had allowed all season. During the regular season, he ran for 1,722 yards, still a Nebraska record for a sophomore. Phillips' performance in the Orange Bowl that year was key to Nebraska securing its undefeated season and the national championship in 1994.

Less than two weeks after Phillips helped Nebraska win the 1994 championship, he pleaded not guilty to charges of assault, vandalism, and disturbing the peace. The charges came from a March 1994 incident, in which Phillips was accused of grabbing a 21-year-old college student "around the neck". Phillips entered a pretrial diversion program earlier, but was charged on November 18, 1994, after failing to complete the requirements of the program.

Shortly before the start of the next season, Phillips' eligibility was in question for receiving a $100 lunch from a sports agent during the 1994 season. When Nebraska officials became aware of the violation, he allegedly reimbursed the agent. The NCAA ruled him eligible just in time for the season opener, but continued to investigate other unspecified issues involving Phillips.

When the 1995 season finally arrived, Phillips became an early front-runner for the Heisman Trophy. In Nebraska's second game of the season, against Michigan State—playing its first game under new coach Nick Saban—Phillips had 206 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 22 carries. After only two games, he was averaging more than 11 yards per carry and had scored six touchdowns.

Hours after the team returned from East Lansing on September 10, 1995, Phillips broke into backup quarterback Scott Frost's apartment by climbing the outside of the building to the third floor and entering through some sliding doors. He then assaulted his ex-girlfriend, basketball player Kate McEwen. Phillips dragged McEwen out of the apartment by the hair and down three flights of stairs before smashing her head into a mailbox. Phillips was subsequently arrested, and eventually suspended by head coach Tom Osborne. The case became a source of controversy and media attention, with the perception that Osborne was coddling a star player by not kicking Phillips off the team permanently. Osborne walked out on a press conference when asked, "If one of your players had roughed up a member of your family and had dragged her down a flight of steps, would you have reinstated that player to the team?" Outraged Nebraska faculty proposed that any student convicted of a violent crime should be prohibited from representing the university on the football field. Osborne defended the decision, saying that abandoning Phillips might do more harm than good, stating the best way to help Phillips was within the structured environment of the football program. Osborne stated, "I felt the only thing I could put in a place that would keep him on track was football, because that was probably the only consistent organizing factor in his life." After a six-game suspension, Osborne reinstated Phillips for the Iowa State game, although touted freshman Ahman Green continued to start. Phillips also played against Kansas and Oklahoma.

Despite pressure from the national media, Osborne named Phillips the starter for the Fiesta Bowl, which pitted No. 1 Nebraska against No. 2 Florida for the national championship. In the game, Phillips rushed for 165 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries and scored a touchdown on a 16-yard reception in the Cornhuskers' 62–24 victory. The performance boosted Phillips' draft stock. With Osborne's encouragement, he decided to turn pro a year early.

Notes - Statistics include bowl game performances.

NFL Draft
At the 1996 NFL draft, teams had to decide if Phillips' talent was worth the risk, considering his character issues. Based solely on football talent, he was considered a top five, perhaps even number one pick. He was widely expected to be selected by the new Baltimore Ravens with the fourth pick to fill their vacant running back position. However, Baltimore decided to select the best available player regardless of position, and with the fourth pick they selected offensive tackle (and future Hall of Famer) Jonathan Ogden. During the draft, ESPN analyst Joe Theismann stated in regard to Phillips: "Everybody's called him the best player in the draft."

St. Louis Rams
Phillips was drafted in the first round with the sixth overall pick by the St. Louis Rams. The Rams thought so highly of Phillips that on the same day of the draft, they traded his predecessor, future Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Jerome Bettis, to the Pittsburgh Steelers. On July 29, 1996, Phillips signed a three-year, $5.625-million contract. He received no signing bonus, but his salaries were $1.5 million in 1996, $1.875 million in 1997 and $2.25 million in 1998. Also, he had a chance to receive some guaranteed money in the future if he met certain conditions. The chaos he created at Nebraska continued in St. Louis; in less than two years with the Rams, he spent 23 days in jail.

In 1996, Phillips played in 15 games with 11 starts. He carried the ball 193 times for 632 yards and 4 touchdowns. In 1997, Phillips surpassed his entire 1996 total in only 10 games and nine starts, rushing for 634 yards. However, on November 20, the Rams abruptly released him. According to reports at the time, Rams team officials told the press that coach Dick Vermeil told Phillips that he was being demoted to second string due to his inconsistent performance and inability to stay out of trouble. Phillips stormed out of the Rams' facility and missed that day's meeting and practice. The Rams lost patience with him and decided to cut ties with him. A teary-eyed Vermeil at the time said Phillips was potentially the best running back he ever coached. In the 2016 documentary Running For His Life: the Lawrence Phillips Story, Vermeil revealed that Phillips collapsed on the field during pre-game warmup for his 10th (and final) game with the 1997 Rams. Trainers revealed that he had alcohol on his breath, and told Vermeil that Philips had smelled of alcohol on a number of previous occasions. He was known to stay in bars until 4 a.m. on the night before games. The following Monday, Vermeil called Phillips into his office and told him that he was cutting him. While Vermeil was known for having little tolerance for off-the-field misconduct, he knew Phillips was a talented player and gave him numerous chances to stay on the right path. He did say, though, that if given the chance to do it over again, he would have kept Phillips on the roster. In that same film, Vermeil revealed that he reached out to a friend, Miami Dolphins head coach Jimmy Johnson, to give Phillips a chance with the Dolphins.

Miami Dolphins
Phillips lasted two games in Miami, rushing for 44 yards on 18 carries for a 2.4 yard-per-carry average. The Dolphins released him after he pleaded no contest to assaulting a woman at a Plantation, Florida nightclub.

NFL Europe
Phillips missed the 1998 season before attempting a comeback in 1999; he set NFL Europe offensive records with the Barcelona Dragons (1,021 yards and 14 touchdowns) and attracted interest from several NFL teams.

San Francisco 49ers
Phillips returned stateside with the San Francisco 49ers in the fall of 1999. The 49ers interviewed him several times before seemingly being assured that he put his past difficulties behind him, though general manager Bill Walsh told him that the 49ers would not hesitate to cut him if he stepped out of line. He was in contention for the starting job before pulling a hamstring in training camp. Additionally, his blocking left much to be desired. He was beaten out for the starting slot by Charlie Garner. He did, however, become the 49ers' primary kick returner.

Although Phillips stayed out of trouble off the field, his on-field performance was of greater concern to the 49ers. His blocking skills were so suspect that he was almost never in the game on passing downs. Their concerns were validated during Week 3's Monday Night Football game against the Arizona Cardinals, when cornerback Aeneas Williams rushed in on a blitz and Phillips failed to pick it up. Williams ended up knocking Steve Young unconscious on the play with a hard, but clean, hit. Young suffered what would prove to be a career-ending concussion; he did not play again for the rest of the season and had to retire. In the same game, Phillips ran for a 68-yard touchdown to put the game away 24–10, outrunning Williams to the end zone. Nonetheless, his missed block on Williams led the 49ers to question his work ethic.

By November, the 49ers began to lose patience with Phillips. According to coach Steve Mariucci, Phillips actually began losing interest early in the season, to the point that he was finding "reasons and ways why he shouldn't practice." However, the situation came to a head in the run-up to the 49ers' game against the New Orleans Saints. Phillips refused to practice at all on November 10 and 12, and openly mocked coaching directives. Mariucci called a meeting with his staff, at which Phillips' position coach, Tom Rathman, threatened to stay in San Francisco if Phillips made the trip. That night, the 49ers handed Phillips a three-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team.

Walsh said soon after Phillips was suspended that he could not envision Phillips playing another down for the 49ers. On November 16, Mariucci announced that the 49ers would cut ties with Phillips at the first opportunity. In making the announcement, Mariucci said that the only reason the 49ers did not release Phillips right away was that his entire signing bonus would have counted against the team's salary cap for 1999, thus tying up nearly all of their cap room. Finally, on November 23, 1999, the 49ers waived him.

AFL and CFL
In 2001, Phillips signed with the Florida Bobcats of the Arena Football League. However, before playing a down for them, he was released after leaving the team without telling his coach.

Phillips then moved on to the Canadian Football League (CFL). He had some difficulty getting a Canadian work visa due to his criminal record, but was eventually cleared to join the Montreal Alouettes. He showed signs of his old form, notching 1,022 yards, 13 touchdowns, and a spot on the CFL Eastern All-Star Team while helping lead them to the 90th Grey Cup. However, he showed signs of lapsing into his old habits off the field. He walked out on the team at least once during the season, and his agent severed ties with him twice.

Phillips briefly held out of training camp before the 2003 season due to a salary dispute. On May 1, shortly after his return, the Alouettes released him for not meeting the team's "minimum behavioural standards." It later emerged that he was charged with sexual assault. Phillips signed with the Calgary Stampeders (rushing for 486 yards on 107 carries and 1 touchdown), but was again released, for arguing with head coach Jim Barker.

Legal issues and death
On August 21, 2005, Phillips was arrested for assault after driving a car into three teenagers following a dispute with them during a pick-up football game in Los Angeles. At the time of the arrest, Phillips was also wanted by the San Diego Police Department in connection with two alleged domestic abuse incidents involving a former girlfriend, who claimed that Phillips choked her to the point of unconsciousness. In addition, the Los Angeles Police Department was seeking Phillips in connection with another allegation of domestic abuse that occurred in Los Angeles. In March 2006, Phillips was ordered to stand trial on charges of felony assault with a deadly weapon stemming from the August 21, 2005 incident. On October 10, 2006, he was found guilty on seven counts. On October 3, 2008, he was sentenced to 10 years in a California state prison; that sentence was subsequently reduced to seven years.

While serving that sentence, Phillips was convicted in August 2009 for the assault on his former girlfriend Amaliya Weisler on seven counts, including assault with great bodily injury, false imprisonment, making a criminal threat, and auto theft. On December 18, 2009, Phillips was sentenced to 25 years in prison on the 2009 convictions, to run consecutive to the 2008 sentence, for a total of 31 years.

Phillips, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation number G31982, was admitted to Kern Valley State Prison on October 16, 2008. Under California law, since his crimes harmed other persons, he was required to serve at least 85 percent of his sentence before becoming eligible for parole with good behavior, meaning that he would not have even been considered for release until he was 57 years old.

On April 12, 2015, Phillips' cellmate, Damion Soward, the cousin of former NFL wide receiver R. Jay Soward, was found dead in the cell the two men shared. Soward, who was serving a sentence of 82 years to life for a murder conviction, was choked to death. On September 1, Phillips was charged with first-degree murder in Soward's death. On November 9, the prosecutor was granted a motion to reconsider whether to seek the death penalty.

Phillips was awaiting trial in solitary confinement when he was found unresponsive in his cell by correctional officers around midnight on January 12, 2016. Phillips was pronounced dead at 1:30 a.m. in a suspected suicide. A coroner determined that Phillips had hanged himself. He had a do not resuscitate note taped to his chest. The day before, January 11, a judge ruled that there was enough evidence to bind Phillips over for trial in the murder of Soward.

On January 15, it was announced that Phillips' family agreed to donate his brain to be examined for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) at Boston University.

Phillips' funeral was held on January 23 at Christ's Church of the Valley in San Dimas, California. He was buried at Inglewood Park Cemetery.

Talk:Legion of the United States

Wrong Ft. Miami?
Source for this is from growing up in Maumee OH - this is local geography to me. I believe the Ft. Miamis referenced is not the one linked to from the article. The Ft. Miami referred to is in Maumee, a few miles (rather than the 50+ miles to the Indian site the article links to).
 * Fixed. Thanks. Mingusboodle (talk) 17:40, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Legacy?
The Legacy section currently begins with the assertion that "It is a common misconception that the legion was abandoned in 1796." There are a couple of problems with this assertion, but before I delete it I'm going to give its supporter(s) an opportunity to fix it.

First, provide evidence that it is a miconception. If it wasn't abandoned in 1796, what did happen to it? Was it abandoned in some other year? Was it discontinued or replaced in some other manner than abandonment?

Second, provide evidence that it is a common misconception.

Earendur (talk) 17:10, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Indian Wars Streamer
Would it be appropriate to put the Indian Wars Campaign streamer in the infobox? I'm not sure because the Legion technically didn't exist when the streamer was created, but there are Regiments today who have this streamer specifically because of their lineage from the Legion. In other words, the Legion was never awarded the streamer, but they're the unit that earned it for the units that have it today.

See US Army Center of Military History

Zebulon Pike
Zebulon Pike has been added to the list of Notable members of the Legion, but there's no citation and nothing in the article Zebulon Pike to corroborate. That article states "He was commissioned as a second lieutenant of infantry in 1799," which would fall outside the timeline in which the Legion existed. Can anyone confirm that Pike was or was not a member of the Legion? Canute (talk) 20:53, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm removing Pike for the reasons stated above. His article says he was born in 1779 and commissioned in 1799, after the Legion had been reorganized into the Army of the United States.  If someone has more info and a source to show he was in the Legion, he could be added back in. Canute (talk) 14:35, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * There was a Zebulon Pike in the 3rd sub-legion. See “Roster of the Officers of 'The Legion of the United States,' Commanded by Major-General Anthony Wayne.” The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, vol. 16, no. 4, 1893, p. 426.  I'd wager this is Zebulon Pike, Sr., the father of "Pike's Peak" Zebulon Pike.  I won't pursue this further at this time, but it might make for an interesting addition or note if someone wants to go down that trail. Canute (talk) 19:41, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

General Scott’s militia
The text says that Wayne’s forces were joined at camp Hobson’s Choice by Scott’s Kentucky Militia. I believe that didn’t happen until much later, at Fort Greene Ville, in the late spring of 1794. The paragraph is uncited, so I can’t check the source. A historian needs to check that timeline. Sbalfour (talk) 21:33, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Fixed: Scott's cavalry arrived at Ft. Greene Ville on July 26-27, 1794, and did not attend Camp Hobson. Sbalfour (talk) 14:29, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Dear Stephen,

great to see you on here. Thanks for the ammendments... cobbled the article together from my knowledge of UFMCC. Great to see other articles appearing on Wikipedia now. Ace! Do you mind if I wikify some of your articles further? Davidkinnen 08:46, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Naming conventions
I really love all your work on GLBT theology and religion articles, especially the Metropolitan Community Church and affiliated persons. Just a note that Wikipedia naming conventions don't allow for the use of formal titles, such as "Rev" or "Dr" in the name of the article. I have moved several that you created. Thanks again!

Your removal to link to Anti-"Queer" theology
I edited the page on "queer theology" page to include links to (DR) Rembert S. Truluck's page, and to truthsetsfree.net, another "gay christian" site. In the process, I also added a religion-stub for (Dr) Truluck. And it was also me who added the link to the Anti-"queer theology" site, which you removed, siting reason that it was "not about this debate".

I protest that your deletion was a POV-inspired deletion. My edit's, I suggest, where balanced, NPOV - two supporting the idea of "queer theology", one against, and the creation of an NPOV page, which I contend added to this category, as Dr. Truluck is an prominent "gay christian".

How can you justify that a link to a page giving the other side of the argument is "not about this debate"? (It's not as if I edited the article to include the stuff in the counter argument - I merely added a link!)

I would suggest that the fact that you are a member of the MCC (which, I presume is a "gay christian" church), adds weight to my argument that your deletion was a partisan, POV-inspired deleltion.

As I understand it, Wikipedia is an "encyclopedia", this means that pages are not "adverts" for one any particular idea, they must attempt to give some degree of balanced analysis.

The idea is that any user, of whatever "persuasion", might look up this page, read the main tenets of the article, and then have an opportunity to see other related ideas, including arguments against.

For example, if someone looks up the article on Stalin, he/she may wish to link to some external pages which are pro Stalin or anti Stalin.

I hope you will respond to my post, otherwise we may get into a rather silly add/delete cycle.

BTW, I put "queer theology" and "gay christian" in quotes as these are debated labels - it is my understanding that not every "gay" person would label themselves as "queer" - I notice that more and more we see the tag "LGBTQ" rather than "LGBT", making a distinction between queer and gay - I certainly haven't put these phrases in quotes to suggest any disparagement of these "labels".

BTW (2), I notice that you say in an earlier message that Dr's and Rev's should be removed - I'm not familiar with the justification for this. Can you explain?

CPMCE 01:17, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Reply re. removal of link
--Sjharte 10:50, 27 November 2005 (UTC) Hi.

I think you must have misread something on the use of "Rev" and "Dr" etc - that was comment directed at me by someone else.

The article on Queer Theology is supposed to be just that - an explanation of the existence and devlopment of this branch of theology. The pro/anti gay debate is real and valid - my suggestion was that it not take place in this article as it would overwhlem it. Perhaps a "see also" link to those many otehr parts of wikipedia where that debate takes place - and I have made this change

The term "Queer" is a controversial one in many areas but it is the "term of art" for this type of theological by teh academic practitioners of it. Accordinly, I have made this point in the article but again would suggest that the validity or otherwise of the term "queer" is better handled in the queer section rather than repeated here. I have made refernece to this is the "see also" section.

The original links that I put in were to a US major acedemic institution that studied queer theologya nd to an online Queer Theology jounal. Both totally in point. I did not seek to put in links to gay ministries or affirming congregations (what you called "gay churches") - others did that. I would personal prefer to see those links to go too so that this piece could focus solely on discussion of this branch of theology and leave other issues to otehr posts.

In conclusion, I hope that you wills ee that i have not saw myself as trying to enforce my personal POV but instead tried to keep the article clean and relevant as it grows.

Thanks for your reply. I take your point, and will not get into a "silly add/delete cycle" as threatened! As a compromise, I added this debate to the discussion page of the "queer theology" page.

I don't know if your interested, but IMHO your user page could be expanded, tarted up a bit! For example, you may wish to add yourself to the list of users in Scotland... Category:Wikipedians in Scotland|Sjharte Category:Wikipedians_in_the_United_Kingdom|Sjharte and you may wish to add your name to the list of LGBT Wikipedians : Category:LGBT Wikipedians|Sjharte

Just click on edit and copy the releveant text above onto your user page, putting it in double square brackets: !

Winnie Ewing
I noticed that you editted Winnie Ewing's article to add her to the 'LGBT rights opposition' category and added text stating "joined her son Fergus Ewing in opposing repeal [of section 2A]". I was suprised to hear this and I checked the details of the vote and found that both Ewings (not including Margaret) abstained rather than opposed. I see that the wording simply means "did not vote for repeal" but I this gives the notion that the Ewings voted against as opposed to not voting at all. I have changed the article to note this and have removed the 'LGBT rights opposition' category as many MSPs effectively abstained by not being present for the vote (such as Donald Dewar) and it is unfair to lump them in with the Tories or Souter.

I think that this is a rather important discussion for editors interested in Scotland-related articles, especially Scottish politics and Scottish biographical articles (particularly local history). Please have a read and ponder, and contribute to the debate if you like. Thanks. --Mais oui! 18:18, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

 * It would also be relevant in this context to consider the discussions in the parent category for the UK parliament: Category talk:British MPs. I find it regrettable that Mais oui! has engaged in a restructuring of that category without entering into the discussions there.  --BrownHairedGirl 18:03, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Category of "women writers" under review for reinstatement
Hi! I hope you will pardon this notice, but the category "women writers" was recently deleted and is now up for deletion review.

Desist now from your smear campaign and personal attacks
Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

It is considered especially offensive to use Edit summaries to conduct personal attacks. --Mais oui! 10:44, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, not meant to be personal but I hope you too will avoid the temptation to spin everything from a SNP perspective. The phrase "smear campaign" re the MacNeil issue is a POV statement by you. Please stay NPOV.--Sjharte 10:49, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Your article about the Rev. Ackerman is up for AfD and thought maybe you should be aware of that. Callelinea 21:04, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think Wikipedia would be much improved if you would edit Ackerman's article to establish her notability (as well as remove all those dreadful tags). I prodded her originally, but am starting to wonder if with a little work she mightn't deserve an entry here. I know little about her though, so could you have a go?.
 * And I second your invitation to join WP:LGBT. The MCC is clearly an important art of LGBt and Christianity, but our article are not what they might be. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 12:57, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Jamie Rennie

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised.

Fair use rationale for File:IFightDragons.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:IFightDragons.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 01:36, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:IFightDragons.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:IFightDragons.jpg I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

 * I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
 * I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:55, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Thaumetopoeinae

Thaumetopoeinae is a subfamily of moths in the family Notodontidae. This group is sometimes treated as a family Thaumetopoeidae with three subfamilies: Thaumetopoeinae, Anaphinae and Epicominae. However, it is now commonly treated at subfamily rank based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic evidence.

The etymology of the subfamily name derives from the Ancient Greek words (, 'marvelous') and  (, 'to do') and literally means showing beautiful things. This explains why the name is sometimes spelled Thaumatopoeinae, incorrectly from the taxonomic standpoint, but in accordance with etymology.

The larval stage of some Thaumetopoeinae are known as processionary caterpillars, so named because they move in columns in search of food, resembling a procession. Some of the species, like the pine and oak processionaries, can constitute a health hazard due to their urticating hairs.

Genera and some species

 * Aglaosoma
 * Aglaosoma variegata
 * Axiocleta
 * Cynosarga
 * Epicoma
 * Epicoma contristis
 * Epicoma melanospila
 * Epicoma melanosticta
 * Epicoma tristis
 * Mesodrepta
 * Ochrogaster
 * Tanystola
 * Thaumetopoea
 * Trichiocercus
 * Trichiocercus sparshalli

i, too, was wondering with how to do that. a number of them didnt actually graduate (i know humphrey bogart left his senior year, and i feel like i know of others as well but can't think of them off the top of my head)...should we simply list them as "class of 1XXX" without saying they graduated? should we detail why they left, if it's known? Should we list everyone as "class of xxxx" to prevent the confusion? --jfg284 you were saying? 10:49, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Johnny-marr-1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Johnny-marr-1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Bob 16:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:47, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

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

Removed a blatant advertisment SteveTheRed (talk) 04:32, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Problems
I think the history section tends to understate the history of the lake. Anyone with information should contribute. Lancetruthhammer 22:00, 8 February 2009

Much of this article remains uncited. I know that a great deal of the information here comes from official publications (such as pdfs released by they WACF). However, the pdf at the bottom of the page appears to no longer be a valid link. The information about water clarity also appears to be rather old information.

This should probably be merged with the Wawasee History page, there is no reason why a lake like Lake Michigan has its entire history section on the main page and Wawasee does not. There is no reason for this. The articles are redundant.

Request for Added Sections
I noticed that the WACF recently posted new pdfs on their site. These deal with topics like water quality, wetland restoration, invasive species, fish populations, etc. I think this could greatly enhance knowledge about the lake if it were summarized here. I am working on it, but if anyone wants to pitch in I would appreciate that very much.

I also thought that it would be good to add a section about the development of the Syracuse-Wawasee Trail. I realize this might be borderline travel-brochure-ish, however, as it will affect portions of the lake (i.e. the construction of a boardwalk and a pedestrian bridge) I think it is relevant.

I remember conversation about whether or not this new guy (Griffith) would do as well as Ross who was apparently pretty popular with men who had been away for the war, suggesting that "Ross" had been there since well before the war.

Bagger 288

Bagger 288 (Excavator 288), previously known as the MAN TAKRAF RB288 built by the German company Krupp for the energy and mining firm Rheinbraun, is a bucket-wheel excavator or mobile strip mining machine.

When its construction was completed in 1978, Bagger 288 superseded Big Muskie as the heaviest land vehicle in the world, at 13,500 tons. It took five years to design and manufacture and five years to assemble, with total cost reaching $100 million. In 1995, it was itself superseded by the slightly heavier Bagger 293 (14,200 tons). XCMG's XGC88000 Crawler Crane remains the largest self-propelled land vehicle in the world, since bucket-wheel excavators are powered by an external power source, and the Overburden Conveyor Bridge F60s hold the title of largest land vehicle of any type by physical dimensions.

Like its siblings, the Bagger 288 require a disproportionately small number of men to operate, at just five total. Whilst Bagger 288 is considered a "sibling vehicle" with Bagger 293, it is unclear if 288 receives the same moniker as 293's Type SRs 8000 by TAKRAF.

Objective
The Bagger 288 was built for the job of removing overburden before coal mining at the Hambach surface mine in Germany. It can excavate 240,000 tons of coal or 240,000 cubic metres of overburden daily – the equivalent of a soccer field dug to 30 m deep. The coal produced in one day fills 2400 coal wagons. The excavator is up to 220 m (721 ft) long (slightly shorter than Baggers 287 and 293) and approximately 96 m (315 feet) high. In fact, the Bagger 288 alongside its siblings, are so large, that it has its own on-board toiletry and kitchenette rooms. The Bagger's operation requires 16.56 megawatts of externally supplied electricity. It can travel 2 to 10 m per minute (0.1 to 0.6 km/h). The chassis of the main section is 46 m wide and sits on three rows of four caterpillar track assemblies, each 3.8 m wide. The large surface area of the tracks means the ground pressure of the Bagger 288 is very small (1.71 bar or 24.8 psi); this allows the excavator to travel over gravel, earth and even grass without leaving a significant track. It has a minimum turning radius of approximately 50 metres, and can climb a maximum gradient of 1:18 (5° incline).

The excavating head itself is 21.6 m in diameter and has 18 buckets each holding 6.6 m3 of overburden.

By February 2001, the excavator had completely exposed the coal source at the Tagebau Hambach mine and was no longer needed there. In three weeks it made a 22 km trip to the Tagebau Garzweiler, travelling across Autobahn 61, the river Erft, a railroad line, and several roads. The move cost nearly 15 million German marks and required a team of seventy workers. Rivers were crossed by placing large steel pipes for the water to flow through and providing a smooth surface over the pipes with rocks and gravel. Special grass was seeded to smooth its passage over valuable terrain. Moving Bagger 288 in one piece was more economical than disassembling the excavator and moving it piece by piece.

The Bagger 288 is one of a group of similar sized and built vehicles, such as Bagger 281 (built in 1958), Bagger 285 (1975), Bagger 287 (1976), Bagger 293 (1995), etc.

In popular culture

 * In 2009, the British comedian Joel Veitch published a song dedicated to the Bagger 288 on the album Spongs In the Key of Life. In the lyrics of the song, Bagger 288 is built to protect mankind from Godzillas and doom robots from the future. In the music video, the song is accompanied by clips from a German TV documentary about bucket excavators in the Ruhr area.
 * In the film Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012), the rider possesses a Bagger 288, turning it into a fiery vehicle of destruction against his enemies.
 * In the Book After the Revolution by Robert Evans, the post-human city "The City of Wheels" is built on a Bagger 288.
 * In the film Hunger Games: Catching Fire, it's possible to see the Bagger 288 in the background of District 12 scenes.

Kreuzweg Ost

Kreuzweg Ost is an Austrian darkwave/martial industrial project founded by Michael Gregor and Martin Schirenc. The music is a blend of world war-related samples and loops with booming sounds and instrumental pieces. There are no vocals; instead, the predominant samples are arranged so that they take the role of vocals, sometimes telling short stories similar to radio play snippets.
