Talk:Gee's golden langur

Secondary and Tertiary Sources and Capitalization
I have changed the name of the page from Gee's Golden Langur to Gee's golden langur. The convention in mammal studies is unanimously not to capitalize; in other words, the capitalization so common in bird classification does not carry over to mammal studies. I am adding below a list of secondary and tertiary sources. (I will obviously need to take this up on a Wikipedia-wide level since a number of mammal pages have already been capitalized.)

 * Mammal Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference, 3rd Edition. Don E.Wilson and DeeAnn M. Reeder (eds.). Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore, 2005, 2,142 pp., 2 vols., ISBN 0-8018-8221-4. In the review of MSW3 by B. D. Patterson (J Mammal Evol (2007) 14:67–69 DOI 10.1007/s10914-006-9022-6), Patterson states, "Like its predecessors, the third edition of Mammal Species of the World (MSW3) is a product of the Checklist Committee of the American Society of Mammalogists. ... Information in each account of MSW3 follows a standard format that lists sequentially: scientific name, author, year and publication details; common name; type locality, sometimes verbatim but more often standardized; distribution, listing all range countries in which the species occurs; conservation status, denoting the most recent CITES, U.S. ESA, and/or IUCN listing for the species; any designated synonyms (including their authorship and year of publication) and recognized subspecies; and comments, ... The potential to link the edition’s rich taxonomic information with the extensive biological details of Walker’s Mammals of the World (also published by Johns Hopkins) and with the IUCN’s assessments of species status and threats is rich."

Harv. vs cite
You wrote in your summary "i need the page numbers without the references mushrooming. OK?" Huh? Why do you need this? Why must you use a format that's not used in the rest of the primate articles? And you don't need to put citations on the subspecies, the source of that information is MSW3, so that's good enough, and I'm going to change it to that. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:54, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * No, MSW3 doesn't have the individual articles listed. For the geei subspecies, a link is provided to Khajuria's old (and inaccessible article), but the link is to the bibliography, which doesn't have even that article listed. (See here) Same with subspecies bhutanesis, all it says is Wangchuk, Inouye, and Hare 2003, but again the paper is not listed in the bibliography.  MSW3 online unfortunately has problems.  My references are not only more modern and accurate, but also more accessible.  Regards,  Fowler&fowler  «Talk»  12:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

And as for using out-of-line citations instead of the inline citations? - UtherSRG (talk) 12:28, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * When you want to mention different page numbers accurately, each citation is different, the cite format reproduces the entire reference each time; the harvard format produces only the compact form. Also, in the Harvard format the references are all there in one place for everyone to see clearly, not hidden in a clutter of notes.  In any kind of detailed article, the Harvard format is much better, in my opinion.  Regards,  Fowler&fowler  «Talk»  12:51, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah, so you don't "need" them, you prefer them. The page numbers are not really all that relevant. I really dislike the clutter the separate listings makes, and it is inconsistent with the rest of the primate articles. Go ahead and keep working. When you're done, I'll fully inline the citations. I had thought you were done, but I'll wait until you say you're done (or several days go by without edits). - UtherSRG (talk) 13:40, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I do need them, and please don't put words in my mouth. Page numbers are important, they create accuracy and keep people from adding less than reliable content.  And no, they don't create clutter; they create order.  Clutter is what you have in the abysmal Chimpanzee  and Gorilla pages.  Tell me how a general reader is going to figure out what the main references are by looking at the mess you have there.  In contrast, look at the Golden Langur; the references are all there in one place.  Please don't push this.  You might have your inner compulsions about seeing certain kinds of superficial order in your pages of interest, but they are not mine.  OK?  Fowler&fowler  «Talk»  14:47, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I do find what's on those other two pages more helpful. I can click on the reference mark in the text and it brings me to the citation directly, instead of to an intermediary. I can click on the citation, and it brings me to the link in the text. With yours, I can only go fully in one direction, then if I see another interesting citation, I have to scan through the Notes to find it and then I can pop up to see where it is used. Mine is a one step process, yours is a two step process. Mine is easier to find what I'm looking for in either direction, yours only allows full information seeking in one direction. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:45, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You go to the intermediaries only for references that you plan on citing more than once. The point of the intermediaries then is to save you from going to the same long reference many times.  For references like a Time magazine article, that you mention only once, you keep the entire citation in the Notes (and not in the References; some people call the Notes "Cited References" and the References "General References" ) and you can do that either in the cite or harvard format–they are equivalent in terms of work.  It is the second time that the reference is cited (and important references usually are) that Harvard makes a difference.  There are many articles like Peru or Lion who use the Harvard two-step format for their  many times cited references, without using the Harvard template.  As for the  Harvard format not being two-way, what is the "back button" on the browser for?  It takes you back to exactly the middle-step, highlighted at the top of the page.  Many Biology FAs that I looked at: Beagle, California Condor, Common Raven, Darwin, Guinea Pig, Lion, Alfred Russell Wallace, and Tooth Enamel, use some version of the Harvard System.  In contrast Cougar cites the same 421 page report (without page numbers) ten times (footnote 14).  How is that going to help a reader who is really interested?    But more importantly, how is that going to help other editors (including that editor himself)–when they revise the article? How will they know exactly which parts of the 421-page reference were used (especially if the words are paraphrased)?  If writing and editing is taken seriously on Wikipedia, it is essential to provide page numbers, even for 20-page articles, let alone thick tomes.   Fowler&fowler  «Talk»  19:36, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * UtherSRG: I have already told you in no uncertain terms above (to which you never replied) that precise page numbers are important for an article to be both accurate and be judged so by others who later edit it.  Please don't revert.   Fowler&fowler  «Talk»  13:48, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No, they are not. The article is 8 pages long. There's no need to have a different citation for 2 different pages from that 8 page article. I did not see a response from me as needed. I said that, after several days of inactivity, I would remove the intermediary references. You hadn't edited in several days, so I did as I said I would do. Further, while on some articles that have many references, I do see the benefit of this system. However, there are far too few references on this article to merit the redirection. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:55, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I hadn't edited in several days only because I am awaiting some hard-copy interlibrary loan references, which I don't have immediate access to. They are needed because the are essential to addressing the early controversy about the golden langur's taxonomic classification.
 * I was the one (not you) who made the last reply on this page, explaining why precise page numbers are important. The Wangchuk reference, for example, about the GL's phylogeography is over 300 pages long.   Initially, when an article is in development, the Harvard system can seem like an overkill, but I am not done yet, and haven't told you that I am.  You should have brought it up on this page rather than unilaterally reverting.   Fowler&fowler  «Talk»  14:24, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Quoting myself: "I had thought you were done, but I'll wait until you say you're done (or several days go by without edits)." So I will say the same now. When several days go by without edits, I will re-evaluate the need for the intermediary notes, and decide if they are needed. - UtherSRG (talk) 01:19, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That's fair enough. Actually, I'll make it easier for both of us.  I will edit on my subpage User:Fowler&fowler/Gee's Golden Langur.  That way you won't have to keep checking the page, and the page itself won't look unsightly (as it presently does with the template and empty sections).  When I'm done, we can both decide what format is appropriate.  I am therefore rolling back the page to what it was before I started editing it on October 22.  Since my additions were unfinished, I personally would prefer that to merely rolling it back a few days.  Regards,  Fowler&fowler  «Talk»  11:37, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * An excellent idea! - UtherSRG (talk) 12:02, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Note on "Mount Denali"
FYI: No one (who knows what they're talking about) says "Mount Denali". The mountain is either "Mount McKinley" or "Denali".

Umm.. FYI: I call Mount Denali, Mount Denali. I was named after that mountain, thank you very much, and I would appreiciate it if you would let people cal the mountain whatever they would like

Chromalveolata

Chromalveolata was a eukaryote supergroup present in a major classification of 2005, then regarded as one of the six major groups within the eukaryotes. It was a refinement of the kingdom Chromista, first proposed by Thomas Cavalier-Smith in 1981. Chromalveolata was proposed to represent the organisms descended from a single secondary endosymbiosis involving a red alga and a bikont. The plastids in these organisms are those that contain chlorophyll c.

However, the monophyly of the Chromalveolata has been rejected. Thus, two papers published in 2008 have phylogenetic trees in which the chromalveolates are split up, and recent studies continue to support this view.

Groups and classification
Historically, many chromalveolates were considered plants, because of their cell walls, photosynthetic ability, and in some cases their morphological resemblance to the land plants (Embryophyta). However, when the five-kingdom system (proposed in 1969) took prevalence over the animal–plant dichotomy, most of what we now call chromalveolates were put into the kingdom Protista, but the water molds and slime nets were put into the kingdom Fungi, while the brown algae stayed in the plant kingdom. These various organisms were later grouped together and given the name Chromalveolata by Cavalier-Smith. He believed them to be a monophyletic group, but this is not the case.

In 2005, in a classification reflecting the consensus at the time, the Chromalveolata were regarded as one of the six major clades of eukaryotes. Although not given a formal taxonomic status in this classification, elsewhere the group had been treated as a Kingdom. The Chromalveolata were divided into four major subgroups:

 * Cryptophyta
 * Haptophyta
 * Stramenopiles (or Heterokontophyta)
 * Alveolata

Other groups that may be included within, or related to, chromalveolates, are:
 * Centrohelids
 * Katablepharids
 * Telonemia

Though several groups, such as the ciliates and the water molds, have lost the ability to photosynthesize, most are autotrophic. All photosynthetic chromalveolates use chlorophylls a and c, and many use accessory pigments. Chromalveolates share similar glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase proteins.

However, as early as 2005, doubts were being expressed as to whether Chromalveolata was monophyletic, and a review in 2006 noted the lack of evidence for several of the supposed six major eukaryote groups, including the Chromalveolata. In 2012, consensus emerged that the group is not monophyletic. The four original subgroups fall into at least two categories: one comprises the Stramenopiles and the Alveolata, to which the Rhizaria are now usually added to form the SAR group; the other comprises the Cryptophyta and the Haptophyta. A 2010 paper splits the Cryptophyta and Haptophyta; the former are a sister group to the SAR group, the latter cluster with the Archaeplastida (plants in the broad sense). The katablepharids are closely related to the cryptophytes and the telonemids and centrohelids may be related to the haptophytes.

A variety of names have been used for different combinations of the groups formerly thought to make up the Chromalveolata.

 * Halvaria Analyses in 2007 and 2008 agreed that the Stramenopiles and the Alveolata were related, forming a reduced chromalveolate clade, called Halvaria.
 * SAR group The Rhizaria, which were originally not considered to be chromalveolates, belong with the Stramenopiles and Alveolata in many analyses, forming the SAR group, i.e. Halvaria plus Rhizaria.
 * Hacrobia The other two groups originally included in Chromalveolata, the Haptophyta and the Cryptophyta, were related in some analyses, forming a clade which has been called Hacrobia. Alternatively, the Hacrobia appeared to be more closely related to the Archaeplastida (plants in the very broad sense), being a sister group in one analysis, and actually nested inside this group in another. (Earlier, Cavalier-Smith had suggested a clade called Corticata for the grouping of all the chromalveolates and the Archaeplastida.) More recently, as noted above, Hacrobia has been split, with the Haptophyta being sister to the SAR group and the Cryptophyta instead related to the Archaeplastida.

Morphology
Chromalveolates, unlike other groups with multicellular representatives, do not have very many common morphological characteristics. Each major subgroup has certain unique features, including the alveoli of the Alveolata, the haptonema of the Haptophyta, the ejectisome of the Cryptophyta, and the two different flagella of the Heterokontophyta. However, none of these features are present in all of the groups.

The only common chromalveolate features are these:
 * The shared origin of chloroplasts, as mentioned above
 * Presence of cellulose in most cell walls

Since this is such a diverse group, it is difficult to summarize shared chromalveolate characteristics.

Ecological role
Many chromalveolates affect our ecosystem in enormous ways.

Some of these organisms can be very harmful. Dinoflagellates produce red tides, which can devastate fish populations and intoxicate oyster harvests. Apicomplexans are some of the most successful specific parasites to animals (including the genus Plasmodium, the malaria parasites). Water molds cause several plant diseases - it was the water mold Phytophthora infestans that caused the Irish potato blight that led to the Great Irish Famine.

However, many others are vital members of our ecosystem. Diatoms are one of the major photosynthetic producers, and as such produce much of the oxygen that we breathe, and also take in much of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Brown algae, most specifically kelps, create underwater "forest" habitats for many marine creatures, and provide a large portion of the diet of coastal communities.

Chromalveolates also provide many products that we use. The algin in brown algae is used as a food thickener, most famously in ice cream. The siliceous shells of diatoms have many uses, such as in reflective paint, in toothpaste, or as a filter, in what is known as diatomaceous earth.

Chromalveolata viruses
Like other organisms, chromalveolata have viruses. In the case of Emiliania huxleyi (a common algal bloom chromalveolate), a virus believed to be specific to it causes mass death and the end of the bloom.

Willard Mack

Willard Mack (September 18, 1873 – November 18, 1934) was a Canadian-American actor, director, and playwright.

Life and career
He was born Charles Willard McLaughlin in Morrisburg, Ontario. At an early age his family moved to Brooklyn, New York. After two years, they moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where McLaughlin finished high school. His parents returned to Canada, but he went on to study at Georgetown University in Washington, D. C., where he became involved in student plays. Adopting the stage name Willard Mack, after graduation he took minor acting jobs for a few years and did Shakespearian repertoire. However, writing scripts was what he was most interested in, and his second effort, about the North-West Mounted Police, In Wyoming, was a commercial success and was later the basis for his film Nanette of the Wilds. Throughout his life, Mack frequently returned to Canada. Some of his other plays, including Tiger Rose and The Scarlet Fox, were set in northern Alberta. In 1914 he made his acting debut on Broadway in a play he had written. Over the next fourteen years, he would write a further twenty-two Broadway productions, acting in ten of them and producing four. For a time, Willard Mack operated a stock company with actress Maude Leone. In the mid-1920s, he met an aspiring stage actress named Ruby Stevens hired as a chorus girl for his new play. Mack coached Stevens's acting and rewrote parts of the play to expand her role and then persuaded her to change her name to Barbara Stanwyck.

During his time on Broadway, Mack began writing for motion pictures, and although he performed in fifteen films and directed four, he was primarily a writer. At first he remained on the east coast but later moved to Los Angeles. A number of his plays were made into motion pictures, and between 1916 and 1953 he was involved with the writing of more than seventy film scripts. Starting out in silent film, he made his talkie debut as actor, director, and co-writer of the 1929 film Voice of the City. In 1933 he directed What Price Innocence?. He then wrote and directed Broadway to Hollywood, a backstage musical that spanned nearly five decades recounting the struggles of a vaudeville family.

He was married four times, to actresses Maude Leone, Marjorie Rambeau, Pauline Frederick, and Beatrice Banyard.

His writing success made him a wealthy man. He died from heart disease at his home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California in 1934.

Plays

 * Kick In (1914)
 * Tiger Rose (1917)
 * Blind Youth (1917)
 * The Logic of Larry (1919)
 * The Dove (1925, based on a story by Gerald Beaumont)
 * The Noose (1926)
 * A Free Soul (1928, based on a novel by Adela Rogers St. Johns)
 * Spring 3100 (1928)

Filmography

Malhação

Malhação (, Young Hearts in English) is a Brazilian soap-opera that aired on TV Globo from 4 March 1995 to 3 April 2020. The series is targeted at a teenage audience. Each season runs for about a year with cast members changing every season.

History
The soap opera began in 1995, and was initially set in a fictional Gym Club called Malhação on Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro. Through the years the setting varied each season. Although the name of the soap remained the same, it was set in the Múltipla Escolha (Multiple Choice) High School for nine seasons. In the twenty-second season, the location returned to be a gym, the Gael's Martial Arts Gym, placed within the art school Ribalta. The following season brought the high school setting back. From the twenty-fourth season onwards, the setting was changed back to the "Academia Form".

During the first fourteen seasons, each episode of Malhação began with a cold open scene, preceded by a recap of the previous episodes, continuing the narrative that follows. This technique was removed at the beginning of the fifteenth season.

The series has been broadcast in several countries by Globo Internacional, including SIC (between 1995 and 2007, airing with the name "New Wave") in Portugal and by ABC Spark in Canada.

Cancellation
The series was cancelled after 27 seasons on 28 September 2021. The final season, Malhação: Toda Forma de Amar, finished with 253 episodes, a reduction from the planned 288 episodes that was forced by the COVID-19 pandemic. The series had been renewed for a twenty-eighth season titled Malhação: Transformação, written by Márcia Prates and Priscila Steinman, which also had its production suspended by the COVID-19 pandemic and postponed to 2021. Transformação was eventually scrapped and replaced by Malhação: Eu Quero é Ser Feliz written by Eduardo and Marcos Carvalho, until the series was cancelled altogether.

Plot
Malhação revolves around the everyday life of teenagers, their conflicts, including school, friends, families, and especially their relationships, which occupy the central focus of all the seasons. Every season, a different couple of protagonists occupies the core of the whole storyline.

Cast
Similar to American soap operas and long-running television series, cast and characters change each season, but actors who have stayed for more than one season include Gustavo Goulart, Alexandre Slaviero, and Sérgio Hondjakoff.

Theme songs
Malhação had 17 different theme songs:

Spin-off
In November 2018, a spin-off series of Malhação: Viva a Diferença was announced for 2020, also written by Cao Hamburger and titled As Five. An original production for the Globoplay streaming service, it follows the five main characters at the beginning of their adult lives. The first season premiered on November 12, 2020 and its third season is currently in production.

Talk:Akula-class submarine

Initial comments in this page
I think I will delete the passage about Walker, until it is sourced. I mean we are not going around adding passages about russians spying for americans in stealing technology for Zaslon radar of Mig-31, which happened, and scandals around Shkval supercavitating torpedo, to which there are very good sources. Here is a nice video to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiKoA2pbmbc 99.231.46.37 (talk) 06:01, 21 June 2008 (UTC)Pavel Golikov.

 * There is an inconsistancy on this page and Typhoon class submarine, this one calls the submarines with the NATO designation "typhoon" "bars" whereas the Typhoon class submarine article says that the NATO designation "akula" belongs to the "bars" class of soviet submarine. Does anyone know which is which? HoratioVitero 18:04, 26 August 2005 (UTC) sorry about the name issue
 * It's like this:

the information in the *appearances in film* section is not correct: in the movie as well as in the novel 'The hunt for red october' no Akula class attack submarine appears. however it s an fast attack submarine, nato designation Alfa, soviet project number 705 'Lira' --Solarsystemsurfer 17:43, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Leasing to India "edit-discussion"
I would politely ask all the Indian Navy fans not to 1) post unquoted, alleged, unverified info without giving a single citation, 2) edit quoted, verified, citation-provided edits that do not fit their own personal wishes/POV/wet dreams, 3) making erroneous/blatantly false edits (like 900 km range for Club missiles instead of 300 km) 4) putting "pseudo-citations" that, when checked, consist of some newspaper article that has nothing to do with the matter.

There is NO OFFICIAL discussion about Akulas being leased to India, let alone sold. Actually, the only OFFICIAL who spoke about it was the Indian Navy CINC (citation provided in the article), who denied it. Period. Reverse-editing and deletion of previous info that comes without explanation (at least on the talk page) can be considered as vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.73.230.66 (talk • contribs)

Also the date is not verified and has no backing.It should be deleted until there is some mainstream coverage about it. manchurian candidate 08:17, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

"Quietness" of the submarine
I noticed there is a claim that the Akula class is as quiet as the American Seawolf class, backed up by a citation from Pravda. As a source, Pravda is about as reliable as The Onion at worst, and the National Inquirer at best (Pravda loves their Batboy-style stories). It is certainly not a very objective source for most things, let alone anything Russian. Following the link, the article says "According to some US experts, the degree of stealth of the improved sub of Project 971 has caught up with that  of the US Navy multi-purpose fourth generation submarine Seawolf (SSN-21)." However, none of these experts are named (there is a reference to Adm. Jeremy Boorda, who didn't say what has been implied here), and the opinion of "some US experts," even if they exist and are verifiable, does not make it a fact. The wording of the statement in the Wiki needs to be altered at least, and removed altogether at most. I have added a "dubious" tag to the claim to encourage discussion of the statement; I was tempted to remove it altogether, but perhaps someone can furnish a better source than the Russian propaganda machine. Dziban303 (talk) 16:49, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

The Akula is certainly not as quiet as a Seawolf. I have sources of information that were compiled by Norman Polmar which I will include that compares the sound performance of the various later generation builds to Vessels of the USN. The original Akula was actually slightly noisier than an original 688, about the same as a 637. The improved Victor III made improvements over this and was similar to a i688. The Improved Akula made massive improvements in quieting and is regarded as slightly quieter than a i688, which is a remarkable achievement. The improvement in sound quieting from around 1988 to 1991 was truly massive and has sparked speculation that the Walker spy ring had managed to sell information on quieting technology to the Soviets. I don't know if the Walker issue is true or not so I won't include this conclusion. Undercurrent383 (talk) 06:03, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Pure nonsense. The Akula II doesnt even aproach the 688 yet alone the improved one. It was noisier by a huge margin. The reds cant make a half decent SSN. Don't let ivan decieve you. Their rust buckets were about as noisy as whales mating. Their latest SSN maybe might be on par with early model 688's and thats being optimistic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.3.41.0 (talk) 23:03, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Its weird how so many people apparently have access to classified acoustics data on nuclear submarines and are able to make such certain judgments. I guess intelligence personnel and active servicemen must spend a lot of time scouring wikipedia for opportunities to disseminate state secrets.94.175.244.252 (talk) 09:31, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Nerpa
Cited sources regarding the Nerpa addition to this article do not state that it was the Nerpa involved in the Nov 8th 2008 accident. It likely is the Nerpa, but the information is sketchy until actual confirmation. Stick to your sources, please. 68.203.81.234 (talk) 12:32, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Confusing
the section "Akula-II submarines" para is contradicted within the first 2 sentences. the first there is only one, then another is added which is said to be still in service.

Also the "Lease to India" has no mention of a lease. only a payment for finishing a ship, which in turn comes off as an acquisition.Lihaas (talk) 12:55, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Akula an "attack" submarine, not a "ballistic missile" submarine
This article states that the Akula class is the same as the NATO codeword Typhoon class ballistic missile submarine. However, later in the article it states that the Akula class is an attack submarine. Shiprun65 (talk) 21:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe what is being said is that the Akula is the Russian name for the 'NATO' Typhoon. But NATO calls this sub the Akula.--Senor Freebie (talk) 20:25, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Akula III sub-class?
Hi All, I've noticed that in the "summary box" (is that the correct name?) in this article's footer there is a mention to the Akula III (composed by the submarine Gepard + 2 cancelled units); however there is no section/sub-section detailing this subtype. I'll do a quick search of online sources that mention the "Akula III", and if successful will create the corresponding section in the article (at least to allow someone more knowledgeable / with more time to fill it with appropriate info). Regards, DPdH (talk) 03:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * My "quick search" results: couldn't find reference in "verifiable" sources that prove that Gepard is a diferent sub-class, hence I'm unsure if 'the Akula III exists as a sub-class of the Akula class. For the time being, I'll not create the proposed section. Regards,DPdH (talk) 03:50, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * One of the russian designers (V. Pyalova) says in an interview that Gepard differs in so many aspects from the 971U project, that it could be even called Akula III. So it´s neither an official russian nor NATO designation.Alexpl (talk) 12:00, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Grammatical?
There's a sentence under the Akula-II submarines that goes:

"Due to the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, production of all Akula's slowed."

Shouldn't it be "production of all Akulas slowed"? When you put an apostrope, doesn't it show ownership? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.95.222.198 (talk) 11:11, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Quite right. Fixed.  TREKphiler   hit me ♠  07:15, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

NERPA - Akula I or Akula II
The Russians reference what NATO calls Akula I as the Shchuka-B. Using the Shchuka-B covername the Russians make no distinction between Akula-I and Akula-II and make no mention whatsoever of an Improved Akula-I or an Akula-III. Russian distinctions within class are reflected in variations of the Design #, also referred to as Project # by those who do not know that the word "Proyekt", cognate to the English "project", in Russian means "design". Within the Wikipedia article there are references to Designs 971, 971I, 971U, and 971M. Unfortunately, there are NO sources cited for any of the Design numbers other than 971. By logical progression and by the Wiki rules, this would mean that there should be no Wiki entries for these designs unless they can be backed up by authoritative sources - preferably primary sources rather than general citations in derivative commentaries.

When I corrected the entry for NERPA from Akula-II to Akula-I I chose to follow Russian usage where Shchuka-B is equivalent to NATO Akula-I. The RIAN references cited to attempt to point out that my correction is wrong merely underscore the fact that RIAN, reporting in English, falls into the error of the using incorrect equations appearing in English language publications. RIAN is a news source and can be as prone to error as any news source when it deals derives article from a mass of archival reporting rather than from an authoritative pronouncement by either by a name official of the Russian shipbuilding industry or the Russian Navy.Федоров (talk) 01:57, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

 * My point is - since no official source, Russian or Indian, clarifies if it is Akula I improved or Akula II, we have to go by what is reported in the news. AND since the Nerpa was launched a decade later than its intended date, design modifications may have been made. We know that Nerpa started out as a Project 971 submarine, but was it completed and leased to India under the same project, or under a different project? If that is not clearly stated by an official source, then we have to rely on the latest neutral news articles. Anir1uph (talk) 05:52, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

 * On the other hand my point is that we should not presume beyond what is actually known from source that are in a position to ACTUALLY know. News articles that cite no sources for their information do not inspire confidence that they ACTUALLY KNOW.  Many merely repeat what others say, presuming that other unnamed sources might know.  This approach merely compounds the difficulty in ascertaing what is actually true.  You stated that NERPA clearly began as a Project 971.  Therefore, in the absence of any authoritative information that anything changed, the WIKI article should keep it as an Akula I.  Any other definition should be prefaced by "reportedly" - clearly indicating to any reader that the information following may not be correct.Moryak (talk) 16:00, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

 * I am saying that even the russian source that i have cited also states that Nerpa is a Project 971 submarine. And the same source also states that it is an Akula II submarine. Unless you can show me any neutral source that says that Nerpa is an Akula I submarine, i think we should call it an Akula II. I am open to reverting it to Akula I if you can get a source that actually says so. Thanks. Anir1uph (talk) 16:41, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

 * What you are telling me is that you are choosing the Akula-II half of the cited source's Project 971 / Akula-II reference. What I'm choosing to do is to take the undisputed Project 971 part of the reference which denotes Akula-I.  If you can cite a source that provides a Project number for an Akula-II (971"x") authoritatively tied to NERPA then I would be glad to accept that source as indicating that NERPA is an Akula-II.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moryak (talk • contribs) 17:57, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

 * What i am doing is that I am choosing the whole of the cited source. The news source says that it is a Project 971 AND an Akula-II. I am taking both. Unless you can show me a source which directly calls the Nerpa an Akula I...

 * You're missing the I that's what's leading to the confusion. It's not just 971 but 971I where I stands for (May be India). Even the last sub in the 971 project Vepr is an Akula-II class submarine. Then came the 971M and 971U which are also Akula-II type. Then the 971I which is an Akula-II class submarine. Navigatorblue (talk) 05:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Now we are addressing my point. For those who want me to find a citation that says Nerpa is an Akula-I my response is "find me a source that says that Nerpa/Chakra II carries a project number that is more than 971".  Talking about 971M and 971U may work for Akula-II but 971I with the "I" standing for the first initial of "India" still does not make Nerpa/Chakra II an Akula-II.  By the way, what are the citations for 971M and 971U?Федоров (talk) 12:27, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

 * What is your source that a submarine started as a Project 971 cannot be an Akula II. I have already quoted a russian source and indian sources which say that is a Project 971 AND an Akula II. Please find me any source which states Nerpa/Chakra is an Akula I explicitly. Anir1uph (talk) 19:37, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Please also refer to this, this and this. If the Chakra was really an Akula I, don't you think at least one reliable source or either the Russian govt, Indian govt or the Indian navy correct the nomenclature. You might be right, all I am asking is for a reliable and explicit citation for the same. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anir1uph (talk • contribs) 19:42, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

 * The argument that it's Project 971 or 971I seems not correct. Finally i'm able to find some credible source from Russian govt source. Here it is http://government.ru/eng/docs/9439/print/. It says the Project is 518.Navigatorblue (talk) 03:37, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

 * A most interesting reference. If NERPA is a Project 518 submarine then it isn't even an Akula Class at all.Moryak (talk) 14:06, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * May be Borei-0 class. The Project number can vary since it is for India. May be built under a new Project 518. It can also be an Akula-IV class submarine if one goes by your logic. Even though some of the specifications point to it being an Akula-1 type but some do point to it being Akula-II. Don't know what is that. May be Akula-1 with Akula-II capability? Don't know. So either keep it at Akula-II as the media puts it or find out what exactly this subs class. Navigatorblue (talk) 16:09, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

 * As wikipedia editors, it is not our place to guess or do original research. Whatever we write must be backed up by relevant reliable neutral, and if possible, official sources. In ALL the sources, the INS Chakra/Nerpa is called an Akula II class SSN. Then that is what we are supposed to write here. Anir1uph (talk) 19:17, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

 * As I've noted before, it is unfortunate that the "rules" of Wikipedia appear to be on the side that champions the view that repetition of incorrect information makes it correct. How sad.  Propagandists take heart!Moryak (talk) 21:39, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Yes, you're correct. But why are you feeling for it. The rules of Wikipedia states, Verifiability, not truth. Hope you understand. So if the articles say it to be Akula-II so be it. Even though the sub may be something else. Either a better one or a lesser one. Navigatorblue (talk) 16:08, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Clearly, Navigatorblue, you seem not to "get" what is being said here. The note of feeling laments the fact that the rules of Wikipedia show a greater interest in verifiability, any verifiability, than in attempting to ensure that the information entered is true.  The "rule" would allow me to quote a verifiable but untrue statement and to have that information survive editing.  As an extreme example I can insert the patently false assertions of Herr Goebbels but, because they are verifiable, they will be allowed by Wikipedia.  I mistakenly thought that the Wikipedia process was meant to winnow the wheat from the chaff, the correct from the incorrect, the true from the false.  The "rules" tell me I am wrong as to the intention of Wikipedia.Федоров (talk) 23:47, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I completely understand what you're saying and what you're trying to convey. After this i agree with you that whatever you say is correct. Now talking about rules Verifiability goes for the sub being a Akula-II since all the sources say so. Now, Do we have a source to say otherwise? A Russian govt source/Indian govt or public document made available during signing of the lease? Seems no. So under Wikipedia verifiability it's Akula-II and the truth may be totally different. What one wishes is fact is verifiable and true, but here it's otherwise. It's just verifiability and not truth. Just check the Blue water Navy page and you'll come to know.Navigatorblue (talk) 05:05, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Single-hull vs. double-hull
"This design requires more power than single-hull submarines[citation needed] because of the greater wetted surface area, which increases drag."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but double-hull construction allows optimization of pressure hull for firmness and outer hull for minimizing drag; a single-hull would always be a compromise. So, the lack of a source cited must be for a good reason.. 188.134.8.72 (talk) 16:27, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Bars (snow leopard) class
The article currently states that "The class is also known under the name Bars (meaning 'snow leopard')": I dunno where this idea comes from; the source here (at globalsecurity.org) is quite definite about it, but the ru article makes no mention of it and nor do the sources there. Also, Bars doesn't mean snow leopard at all: Russian has two words for the leopard (pantera pardus); «барс» (from Turkish) and «леопард"» (from the Greek)(ru), while the snow leopard (uncia uncia) is «Ирбис» (Irbis), or «сне́жный барс» (snezhnyy bars, lit: 'snow' 'leopard')(ru). What the ru article does say is that some of the Schuka-Bs were given names previously used by the earlier Bars class, giving rise to the nickname 'cat series' («кошачьей серией» ) but that doesn't make them known as the Bars class. In addition, one of the units, K-480  (ru), was named Ak Bars, but this is a reference to the national emblem of Tatarstan, known as the 'White Leopard', or 'Snow Leopard' (and from the Turkish Ak Bars, meaning 'white leopard'). Contariwise, another (unfinished) boat, yard number 519, was to be called «Ирбис» (Irbis): Make of that what you will... I'm loathe to take out stuff that's sourced without raising it for discussion, but it looks like bollocks to me. Xyl 54 (talk) 16:35, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

There's been no objection to this, so I've gone ahead and deleted it. The source is already listed as an external link, so we haven't lost it. I trust everyone is OK with that. Xyl 54 (talk) 00:15, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Please avoid foreign nicknames in article titles
This submarine is in fact the Shchuka-class, the Akula-class is a large ballistic missile submarine not related to this class. Whilst the article does mention the correct name, the name in the title remains incorrect and misleading that can cause confusion between the two classes of submarine.

It is only logical and factual to use real names instead of foreign nicknames unrelated to the country of origin.

 * Well no: The Shchuka-class were the project 671 boats (codenamed Victor). These were the Project 971 Shchuka-B class. And the difference between the Russian name and the NATO reporting name, and those of the Akula /Typhoon boats is explained very clearly in the article. But as this is the English language WP it is in fact logical to write in English, and use the names commonly used in English; no doubt the Russian language WP writes articles about British & American stuff in Russian, without Anglophone editors insisting on them using the real names, rather than foreign names unrelated to the country of origin, hmm?

Talk:Murabitun World Movement

Moved two last paragraphs from Chiapas article
NOTE. I moved the last two paragraphs from the article on the Mexican state of Chiapas. These were taking almost half of the article. This connection and topic are far too removed from, specialized, and irrelevant to the main topics in that state to remain there. I have no relation or information or connection of any kind to the Murabitun topic, and I just thought these lines could belong more properly here. I didn't delete it out of courtesy. My apologies if it doesn't belong here. PLEASE remove it at will. Sergio sanchez, 20 feb. 2006.

I think the Murabitun rulers of Zaragoza are also known as Almoravides. There is a link to Almoravides at the top of the article. The Zaragoza rulers information doesn't belong here. Yodakii 18:02, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

There is no need for the entire text of the article by Abdalhaqq Bewley which is referenced in the article on Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi. Anyway, I reverted the article to the last most coherent version and suspect that the page is much more coherent now.

Assertions of notability
The notability of the group is known, but for someone who is new to Islamic movements they may not realize that looking at this article. I think the big reason is that a number of primary sources are used. Per WP:RS, primary sources are acceptable to an extent and I don't think their usage here is controversial, but that being said the article is in need of secondary sources. If those can be brought and incorporated into the article, I think it would allay concerns both about notability and over-reliance on primary sources. MezzoMezzo (talk) 11:09, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Buckeye Bullet

The Buckeye Bullet is a series of four experimental electric cars created by students from Ohio State University (a.k.a. the Buckeyes) as a joint project with Venturi. The cars were designed to break the land speed record on the Bonneville Speedway, a salt flat just outside Wendover, Utah, United States. The team first achieved its goal in October 2004, at 271.737 mph for the one mile world record, repeatedly increasing the record until setting a mile world record of 307.666 mph, in 2009, and a one kilometer world record of 341.264 mph, in 2016.

The VBB's have also been called the Venturi "Jamais Contente", referencing the first electrically powered vehicle to top 100 km/h.

Buckeye Bullet Team
The Buckeye Bullet team is composed of students from Ohio State University, primarily through the College of Engineering. Led by Dr. Giorgio Rizzoni, the team is provided research space from the Center of Automotive Research at the university.

Vehicles
All Buckeye Bullet vehicles have been electrically powered, with power coming from either batteries or hydrogen fuel cells.

Buckeye Bullet 1
The Buckeye Bullet 1 is a battery electric powered land speed race car, and the first from the Buckeye Bullet team.

The Buckeye Bullet 1 held the record for the world's fastest electric car, with a top recorded speed of 321.834 mph. It held the U.S. electric land speed record at 314.958 mph (Class III/E). It set a BNI (non-FIA) recognized international record at 271.737 mph on October 3, 2004.

Vehicle properties
 * Power source: 10,000 rechargeable c-cell batteries
 * Motor: Custom 400 hp 3-phase AC power motor
 * Layout: rear-wheel drive
 * Body material: carbon fiber
 * Ride height/ground clearance: 1.5 in
 * Curb weight: 4000 lb
 * Length: 31 ft
 * Suspension: 4 wheel independent

Team

The 2004 Buckeye Bullet team members from Ohio State are team leaders Isaac S. Harper, Andrew L. Marquand, and Benjamin J. Sinsheimer; team members Kevin C. Sze, Sean M. MacGregor, Aaron M. Haliena, Joseph H. Gorse, Andrea J. Barger, Michael B. Quade, Kimberly A. Stevens and Kevin Ponziani; faculty adviser Giorgio Rizzoni, staff adviser Maria Soliman, and the vehicle's driver, Roger Schroer of TRC, Inc.

Buckeye Bullet 2
The Buckeye Bullet 2, or BB2, was the second-generation, student-built, alternative-fuel race car created by the Buckeye Bullet team. It is the first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle land speed streamliner. It is front-wheel drive. The Buckeye Bullet 2 ran for the first time at Speedweek 2007 and recorded a top speed of 223.334 mph on Oct. 10, 2007. At Speedweek 2008, the BB2 eclipsed its previous mark by reaching 286.476 mph, the highest speed ever recorded by a hydrogen/fuel cell vehicle at that time.

On September 25, 2009, the Buckeye Bullet 2 set international land speed records both at 303.025 mph in the flying kilometer and 302.877 mph in the flying mile.

Buckeye Bullet 2.5
The Buckeye Bullet 2.5 was a battery electric version of the Buckeye Bullet 2. The BB2.5 uses the same frame and body as the Buckeye Bullet 2, but replaces the fuel cell power source with batteries. The BB2.5 raced for only one season in 2009. This vehicle was intended to be a testbed for several new technologies in consideration for use on the Buckeye Bullet 3. The most significant technology under consideration was the lithium-ion batteries. The batteries used for the BB2.5 were A123 Systems 32113 cylindrical cells. The vehicle was able to set a FIA sanctioned world record at 307.666 mph (495.140 km/h).

Buckeye Bullet 3

The Buckeye Bullet 3 is the final iteration of the project, building on the technology of the previous vehicles. It is 4-wheel drive and has a drag coefficient of 0.13. The car has separate powertrains for each axle, with the cockpit in the center. Each powertrain has two electric motors driving a 2-speed transmission, built by Hewland. 1st gear can be used up to 275 mph. On September 19, 2016, the Buckeye Bullet 3 achieved a new world record with a speed of 341.4 mph, beating its own previous record of 308 mph. Roger Schroer was the driver for the record breaking run.

Superior National Forest

Superior National Forest, part of the United States National Forest system, is located in the Arrowhead Region of the state of Minnesota between the Canada–United States border and the north shore of Lake Superior. The area is part of the greater Boundary Waters region along the border of Minnesota and the Canadian province of Ontario, a historic and important thoroughfare in the fur trading and exploring days of New France and British North America.

Under the administration of the United States Forest Service, the Superior National Forest comprises over 3,900,000 acres (6,100 mi2 or 16,000 km2) of woods and waters. The majority of the forest is multiple-use, including both logging and recreational activities such as camping, boating, and fishing. Slightly over a quarter of the forest is set aside as a wilderness reserve known as the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA), where canoers can travel along interconnected fresh waters near land as well as over historic portages once used by Native American tribes and First Nations people, but later also by European explorers and traders.

Location
The forest is located in Cook, Lake, and Saint Louis counties in northeastern Minnesota. Forest headquarters are located in Duluth, outside the boundaries of the forest. There are local ranger district offices in Aurora, Cook, Ely, Grand Marais, and Tofte.

Landforms
The forest covers 3.9 million acres (6,100 mi2 or 16,000 km2), and has over 445,000 acres (1,800 km2) of water. Its waters include some 2,000 lakes and rivers, more than 1,300 miles (2,100 km) of cold water streams, and 950 miles (1,530 km) of warm water streams. Many of the lakes are located in depressions formed by the differential erosion of tilted layers of bedded rock; these depressions were given their final form by glacial scouring during recent ice ages.

The forest is located on part of the Canadian Shield. The area is on a low plateau which is part of the Superior Upland. High points include the Sawtooth Mountains, a range of hills along the shore of Lake Superior, the Misquah Hills including Eagle Mountain, the state's highest point, and other uplands along the Laurentian Divide separating the watershed of the Great Lakes and Atlantic Ocean from that of Hudson Bay and the Arctic Ocean. Despite the presence of dramatic cliffs and other local differences in elevation, the area is essentially flat, as it is part of an old peneplain eroded by weathering, water, and especially glaciers.

The principal surficial result of recent glaciation is not the deposition of glacial drift (unlike most of the rest of Minnesota), but the remodeling of the landscape by the scraping away of softer surfaces down to bare hard rock. The land therefore is raw, with many outcroppings of ancient bedrock, overlain in places by thin layers of gravelly soil and, in the west, silts deposited by Glacial Lake Agassiz.

Flora
The forest contains a small slice of true boreal forest (taiga), and a mixed conifer-hardwood forest known as the North Woods, a transition province between the northern boreal forest and deciduous forests to the south. While the forest is dominated by Conifers that include several varieties of pine, fir, and spruce trees, principal deciduous species such as mountain ash, maple, aspen and paper birch are also rather common, note the paper birch, one of the most numerous trees in the forest. Characteristic aquatic plants include water lilies and wild rice.

Fauna
Fish species such as walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, lake trout, brook trout, rainbow trout, and brown trout can be found in abundance in the forest's waters. Larger wildlife species include northern woodlands white-tailed deer, western moose, Canadian lynx, eastern black bear, and eastern wolf packs. Northern Minnesota has the largest population of gray wolves in the lower 48 states, with approximately 300-400 wolves within the boundaries of this forest. Ely's International Wolf Center protects all North American gray wolves from extinction. Located at the northern edge of the range of the hummingbird and near the southern edge of the range of the Canada jay, this forest has 163 nesting species of birds, the largest number of any national forest. Species include the bald eagle and other raptors, the ubiquitous common loon, and northern waterfowl.

Recreation
The Superior National Forest features a long segment of the 4,800-mile North Country National Scenic Trail from just south of Burntside Lake by Ely to just south of Temperance River State Park near Schroeder. This segment includes (from West to East) the Kekekabic Trail, Border Route Trail, and Superior Hiking Trail.

The Superior National Forest maintains developed fee campgrounds with amenities like drinking water and garbage disposal, rustic campgrounds without drinking water or fees, and backcountry campsites with only a pit latrine and a fire grate, and no permits or fees. Additionally, dispersed camping is permitted anywhere on undeveloped public land without permit or fee. An exception is made for the designated wilderness of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, which requires special permits for entrance.

Mining
In January 2023, the Biden administration set a 20-year moratorium on mining in 225,000 acres of the forest that are upstream of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The moratorium protects the waters of the Rainy River watershed from pollution and blocks the proposed Twin Metals mine.

Talk:Ada Byron's notes on the analytical engine

Implied, Presumptuous Attribution Of Anti-AI Sentiment

 * On the other hand, proponents of Artificial intelligence would dismiss the above quote as nonsense...

Said dismissable quote begins "The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything." It obviously refers specifically to the Analytical Engine. Any issue with a speculated inference is the problem of a presumptuous "proponent of Artificial intelligence [sic capitalized]." I recommend the text be made more accurate. It is possible to convey an AI proponent's distaste for the idea of the inability to originate extrapolated to computing machines in general, without putting words in Her Ladyship's mouth.

No extrapolation required. Since the Analytical Engine is Turing-complete, "the idea of the inability to originate" for it is equivalent to that for "computing machines in general". Leibniz 18:41, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

 * The equivalence of the Analytical Engine to a Universal Turing Machine, thus "computing machines in general", is only accurate if one uses the term Turing-complete in the lax sense without the requirements of unlimited storage and complete reliability. The Analytical Engine concept was not truly Turing-complete; it did not strictly classify as a true Universal Turing Machine.  We cannot presume Her Ladyship to have intended the quote to refer to unerring faculties with unlimited storage, the functionality of "computing machines in general", or even finite computational power equal to that used by automated theorem provers.  I admit that my assertion that the quote obviously refers specifically to the Analytical Engine is mistaken — one could reasonably imagine a more general application to have been intended.  There is not enough evidence, however, to conclude so, and there is enough reason to conclude contrariwise, yet the text following the quote insinuates it still.

 * I'm saying it is possible to address that naturally conjured idea of the "inability to originate" without presumptive, libelous insinuation. How exactly, I guess I should figure out, then see if it flies.  Raymond Keller 04:16, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I find the comment under discussion questionabe as well. Have any proponents of AI dismissed Ada Byron's comment as nonsense or not?  If so, who are they?  If we can't say, then we shouldn't be putting this in the article.  In any case, I seriously doubt any knowledgable proponent of AI would dismiss Byron's comment as nonsense--the comment is clearly not nonsense, but rather, on the interpretation being attributed to proponents of AI, makes clear sense and is just as clearly false.  So at the very least, the comment should be changed to something like "would maintain that the development of computers and programs capable of proving novel mathematical theorems shows Byron's comment here to be strictly false."
 * The article raises the question of the correct interpretation of Byron's comment. Is it saying something like GIGO?  Or is it saying something like "Computers can not be creative?"  Are there serious, notable proponents of either or both of these interpretations?  If so, these should be cited.  Otherwise, perhaps the whole paragraph dealing with this comment should be left out. --The Sarcastic Fringehead

 * Regardless of the accuracy of the statement about AI, the statement is completely irrelevant to the article. It is not an article about Ada Lovelace's knowledge of AI theory.  It is an article about history.  One can make the argument that if the AI statement is irrelevant, the GIGO statement is also irrelevant, but GIGO is, effectively, computer culture, and, IMO, therefore relevant to a history article.  Arguments about theoretical computer science are not.  --- Bitt 18:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Timeline confused?
There seems to be a mistake in this article. First paragrah reads:

 * In 1846 Charles Babbage was invited to give a seminar (...), and this transcript was subsequently published in the Bibliothèque Universelle de Genève in 1842

I may be wrong, but that seems a lot incorrect to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.158.184.88 (talk • contribs) 15:58, 3 September 2006

First Programmer?
Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that Charles Babbage himself wrote some programs? I mean, it seems unlikely that the inventor of the programming language did not even write a single program to illustrate his ideas... 130.83.72.218 (talk) 15:20, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

There is certainly considerable debate about how much input (if any) Ada had on this work. Reports vary from claims that she single-handedly invented all of programming - to claims that she merely wrote down things other people had already talked about. Sadly (because it made a great story), it's beginning to look like the latter. However, even if she did all that people have claimed of her - it's notable that all of her work - and all of Babbages were soon forgotten - and when computers finally became possible, the people who designed and programmed them had largely never heard of either Ada or Babbage. Hence, even if they were the first to think about these things, our present programming theory does not descend from their work in any way - the "father" of modern programming is probably Turing. SteveBaker (talk) 16:50, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Byron?
Convention seems to call for this article to be called "Ada Lovelace...," seeing as how that's what she's called in her own article. She may've been born Byron, but for clarity's sake let's call her what she was known as. Merpin (talk) 17:15, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Mankind Quarterly

Editor-in-chief
This is a minor point, but it bugs me. The article (as of this writing) lists Richard Lynn as the editor-in-chief as of 2023. He's clearly not the current editor-in-chief (since he died last year.) I'll probably change it to something else. But I'm not sure he was even the editor-in-chief in 2023; according to archive.org, it changed to Gerhard Meisenberg in 2022. Simple enough, right? We can say Meisenberg is editor-in-chief and list Lynn as a past one, cited to... archive.org, which is not great, but it's not that exceptional of a point and we can probably find a better source. Except that today, Meisenberg is just listed as "editor". What does that change mean? Are there any secondary sources tracking the ins and outs of Mankind Quarterly's editor-in-chief? --Aquillion (talk) 05:40, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

You ought to differentiate between this journal, the English "Mankind Magazine" and the longstanding publication "Mankind Magazine" which is American and which has been publishing popular history articles since the 1960s.

Many missiologiest ( for instance David Bosch 1991 in "Transforming mission")discovered that the three are not enough. If the question of theologizing are not in the hand of the younger church, their can´t be indigenous, because they depend on a western theology and therefore on a foreign and not necessarely relevant theology for them.

Cowboy Bebop: Tsuioku no Serenade

Cowboy Bebop: Tsuioku no Serenade (カウボーイビバップ 追憶の) is a PlayStation 2 action/beat 'em up video game from Bandai, released in Japan on August 25, 2005. It has an original story based on the anime series Cowboy Bebop.

Story
The game follows an original story set in the Cowboy Bebop universe. Its events center around a search for a space pirate's treasure, a mysterious song called Diamonds, and a mysterious organization that stands in the way of the Bebop crew.

Gameplay
Playable characters include Spike, Faye, and Jet, (each of whom are voiced by their respective voice actors from the anime series) while Ed provides objectives, advice, and moral support. Ein appears alongside Ed as well. Action occurs on foot with both hand-to-hand and shooting segments, often with small puzzles to solve, as well as items to search for (either essential to the plot or bonus items that appear in the gallery). Certain sections of the game require piloting spacecraft and, in one section, a boat. Gameplay is punctuated by long cutscenes that develop the story. There is also a blackjack mini-game featuring Spike and Jet as rotating dealers; this provides a way to earn additional money to unlock bonuses, such as songs for the music player and character profiles.

Music
Three new songs were composed by Yoko Kanno, famous for her music in the series. The anime's OST is reused for the game. Three songs performed by Italian vocalist Ilaria Graziano were released on the Tank! THE! BEST! album.

Reception
IGN said: "Early impressions indicated that the game would probably appeal to fans of the anime series." Kotaku wrote: "[...] it's a pretty terrible game—though its cutscenes make for a decent episode." Game Rant called the reception at the time mediocre.

Ignacio Velasco

Antonio Ignacio Velasco García, S.D.B. (17 January 1929 – 6 July 2003) was a Venezuelan prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the Archbishop of Caracas from 27 May 1995 until his death.

Biography
Velasco was born on 17 January 1929 in Acarigua, Venezuela. He was ordained a priest on 17 December 1955.

On 23 October 1989, Pope John Paul II named him Apostolic Vicar of Puerto Ayacucho and titular bishop of Utimmira. He received his episcopal consecration on 27 January 1990. John Paul named him Archbishop of Caracas on 27 May 1994 and Velasco was installed there on 14 July.

He made Velasco a cardinal on 21 February 2001 and assigned him as Cardinal-Priest to the titular church of Santa Maria Domenica Mazzarello.

Velasco was known for his criticisms of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. In 2001 he appealed to the government to take attacks on Catholic churches more seriously. After Chávez repeatedly attacked the Church, Velasco said: "Every day I turn another cheek. I have no cheeks left because every day there is a new insult."

During the 2002 Venezuelan coup d'état attempt, Velasco attended the swearing in of Chávez' replacement, signed the Carmona Decree that disestablished the Chávez regime, and visited Chávez in exile in Orchila. Velasco later disassociated himself from the coup and his role remains unclear, combining an attempt to get Chávez to resign, an effort to protect Chávez' life, and doubts about the leadership of the short-lived coup. His personal antagonistic relationship with Chávez divided the conservative Church hierarchy from clergy who supported the radical social programs of the Chávez government.

Velasco died on 6 July 2003 after a long illness and treatment in Spain for cancer.

After Velasco's death, Chávez drew fire for his controversial statement that the Cardinal was "burning in hell".
