Jeffrey Lewis

Jeffrey Lewis (born November 20, 1975) is an American singer-songwriter and comic book artist.

Early life
Lewis was born in New York City and grew up on the Lower East Side. He attended State University of New York at Purchase, graduating in 1997 with a degree in literature. His Senior Literary Thesis was on the comic book Watchmen.

Lewis also lectured on the topic of Watchmen at the Institute For Cultural Studies at the University of Leuven, Belgium, in 2000, and the text of his lecture ("The Dual Nature of Apocalypse in Watchmen") was published in the book The Graphic Novel, edited by Jan Baetens, in 2001.

Starting in 2000, he spent about two years living in Austin, Texas, playing open mic nights, working odd jobs and distributing his autobiographical comics to local coffee shops.

Music
Several of his musical influences have been acknowledged in his songs such as "Williamsburg Will Oldham Horror", and "The History of The Fall." Lewis' lyrics are complex and literate, often combining a nihilistic world-view with a hopeful message and sharp wit. Growing up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, his songs are also highly informed by his home surroundings, with songs name-dropping places such as Williamsburg, the FDR Drive and the East River.

Lewis is often regarded as part of the antifolk movement, foremost because he was one of the many bands and performers (including The Moldy Peaches, Kimya Dawson, Diane Cluck, Regina Spektor, Major Matt Mason USA and Lach) who played in the 1990s at New York's SideWalk Cafe and its biannual antifolk festivals and open mic events. His music also possesses certain traits of a perceived antifolk style – a downbeat self-deprecating humor, an off-kilter singing style, a mixture of acoustic and 'punk' songs which feature themes of everyday occurrences and feelings. Lewis himself does not mind the 'antifolk' tag: "I think it's a cool title. The fact that no one knows what it means, including me, makes it kind of mysterious and more interesting than saying that you're a singer/songwriter or that you play indie rock."

After being signed by the British record label Rough Trade in 2001, Jeffrey Lewis released his first official album The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane. Also that year (in February), Lewis was visited by Kimya Dawson while living in Austin, Texas. Over the week she stayed there, they wrote five songs. These songs were later re-recorded with a full band and released by K Records under the moniker "The Bundles," on an album of the same name, in 2010.

In 2003 Rough Trade released the album It's the Ones Who've Cracked That the Light Shines Through, credited to Jeffrey Lewis with Jack Lewis and drummer Anders Griffen. His third Rough Trade record, City and Eastern Songs, was released in the UK in November 2005 and in the US in September 2006. Most of Lewis's albums also include his brother, Jack Lewis, who wrote or co-wrote and sang and played bass on a number of the songs. In October 2007, Rough Trade released 12 Crass Songs, a Jeffrey Lewis album consisting entirely of songs written by the British punk band Crass, reworked to match Lewis's antifolk style.

He has also performed and collaborated with Kimya Dawson of The Moldy Peaches as well as Diane Cluck. Some of his hand-drawn comics appear in the cover art of his CD releases.

In June 2008 Jeffrey was the support act for Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks in Europe. Other well-known acts that Lewis has performed shows or whole tours with include The Presidents of the United States of America, Devendra Banhart, Jarvis Cocker, Black Dice, Adam Green, Thurston Moore, R. Stevie Moore, the Fall, Kimya Dawson, Beth Orton, Frank Black, the Fiery Furnaces, Daniel Johnston, Scout Niblett, the Mountain Goats, Dr. Dog, The Moldy Peaches, Cornershop, Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players, Wooden Wand, the Cribs, Danielson, Herman Dune, Los Campesinos, Roky Erickson, and Super Furry Animals.

The New York Times has published his writings and graphic works.

The New York Times online Op-Ed page "Measure For Measure" hired Jeffrey Lewis to write a number of short essays on the topic of songwriting, some of which he drew in comic book form. All went up on The New York Times website at intervals from 2008 to 2013.

Lewis has created a number of illustrated historical songs, usually sung while flipping through accompanying books of color drawings, including ten such pieces which are in use by The History Channel on their website.

In November 2011 The New York Times ran a feature article on Jeffrey Lewis in the Arts section of November 23, written by Ben Sisario.

Lewis published a comic strip in The Guardian newspaper in London. It was entitled "What Would Pussy Riot Do?" and it was printed on the occasion of a new release of a single with the same title.

In a January 2018 "MusicMakers" interview with Adafruit, Lewis announced he was working on numerous new projects, including "Writing a new issue of my comic book series, mastering an album I recorded of covers of Tuli Kupferberg songs, mixing an album I recorded in collaboration with Peter Stampfel, and working on writing and recording new songs with my band for my own next album. Remastering and repackaging my old 2005 album “City & Eastern Songs" for a deluxe vinyl re-issue."

Artwork and writing
Jeffrey has his own comic book series titled Fuff (formerly called Guff). The series ended in 2020 with issue 12. In 2021 the Complete Fuff Comix Collection was released, a bundle of all 13 issues with an exclusive dust jacket and 3 page bonus comic.

In March 2009, he designed the cover to the sixth issue of Bearded magazine.

Nantucket Nectars

Nantucket Nectars is an American beverage company created by Tom First and Tom Scott, which began as a small business selling a variety of items to yachts in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Eventually they began selling juice blends that were originally inspired by a peach nectar Tom First had while on a visit to Spain. Today the brand is owned by Keurig Dr Pepper and offers drinks in several different flavors.

Originally the beverage was sold in 16 fluid-ounce glass bottles with caps that featured information about Nantucket Harbor and the history of Nantucket Nectars. Now the drinks come in 15.9 fl oz (470 mL) bottles made with 100% recycled plastic (excluding the cap and label).

The success of "Tom and Tom," as the business duo became known, has become a piece of modern business lore. The company was featured on the Inc. 500's list of 500 fastest growing U.S. companies for five years in a row. The story of how they grew their brand is the subject of a popular Harvard Business School case study, which was published in 1998 by Jon Biotti, Joseph Lassiter, and William A. Sahlman.

History
Tom First and Tom Scott met at Brown University in 1985. After graduation, they headed to Nantucket where they started Allserve, a floating convenience store servicing boats in Nantucket Harbor, delivering everything from newspapers to laundry. In 1989, First attempted to recreate for a Nantucket cooking competition a peach drink that he drank on a regular basis while on a trip to Spain. After successfully re-creating the taste, the two began mixing the juice in a blender, pasteurizing it, and bottling it themselves for sale on their boat. Their juice was originally sold for $1 from recycled wine bottles. It was not until later that they decided to call it Nantucket Nectars.

One of their first big investors was Michael Egan, who was involved in turning around the Alamo Rent a Car business. They reported $1 million in sales in 1993, $6 million in 1994, and $15 million in 1995. In 1994, they decided to focus solely on creating and selling their juices. The business then moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Ocean Spray purchased an 80% stake in Nantucket Nectars in 1997 and then sold to London-based Cadbury Schweppes PLC in 2002. The brand was owned by Plano, Texas–based Dr Pepper Snapple Group and is now owned by Burlington MA based Keurig Dr Pepper. The founders are no longer involved in the day-to-day operations, but still perform marketing duties and voice the radio ads.

In advertisement campaigns including on radio and television, Tom and Tom often refer to themselves as "The Juice Guys".

Flavors
Nantucket Nectars come in a variety of different flavors. These include: • Lemon Tea

• Half and Half

• Orange Mango

• Pineapple Orange Guava

• Pomegranate Cherry

• Pomegranate Pear

• Red Plum

• Carrot Orange Mango

• Squeezed Lemonade

• Grapeade

• Kiwi Berry

• Guava

• Peach Orange

• Pineapple Orange Banana

• Pressed Apple

• Premium Orange

• Watermelon Strawberry

• Big Cranberry

• Mango Lemonade

Jian Shuo

Jian Shuo (died c. May 189 ) was the leader of the eunuch faction in the imperial court during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China. Along with Zhang Rang, Jian Shuo eventually became a leading member of the Ten Attendants, who became the most powerful eunuchs during the time. When Emperor Ling of Han died in May 189, Jian Shuo wanted to enthrone Emperor Ling's younger son, Liu Xie, and kill Empress Dowager He's brother, He Jin (uncle of Emperor Ling's older son Liu Bian). However, the plot was discovered by He Jin and foiled. When Liu Bian ascended to the throne as Emperor Shao, He Jin had Jian Shuo arrested and executed.

Talk:Isotopes of lithium

Li8 Decay is Misleading
Li-8 decay is misleading. The footnote explains it's the equivalent of Spontaneous Fission with Positron emission, and lists the decay type as Alpha plus Beta- (positron). It seems to me it's more appropriate to say it uses Beta- plus Alpha decay and results in He4, not Be8. Does it spend any time at all in Be8, after all? TimeHorse (talk)

Lithium-5
I feel that Lithium-5 deserves more attention. There is no stable Isotope-5, of which Lithium-5 and Helium-5 are the most stable. At least a link to a page that discusses Isotope-5, Isotope-8, etc. 14.202.17.58 (talk) 18:19, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Peach (pop band)

Peach (known as Peach Union in the United States) was a British pop/dance/electronic trio formed in London in 1995. The band had several singles in the mid to late 1990s. They are best known for the 1997 hit "On My Own".

Overview
The trio was composed of the London-based singer-songwriter Lisa Lamb with the songwriter Paul Statham and the record producer Pascal Gabriel. Before Peach, Lamb had a solo career as a singer-songwriter in London, releasing a drum and bass version of the classic soft-rock song "Summer Breeze", in 1995 and working as a jazz singer. Statham had worked extensively with the former Bauhaus member Peter Murphy, and Gabriel already had a long career in the pop and dance music industry, most notably with S'Express and Bomb the Bass.

Peach released one album, Audiopeach, in 1998 on Mute/Epic Records, inspired by early 1980s music. The track "On My Own" charted well worldwide, reaching No.1 in Israel and Sweden, No.2 in Canada and Mexico as well as reaching No.69 in the UK Singles Chart and No.39 in the US. It was used in the film Sliding Doors. The album received positive reviews at the time of its release. The group disbanded without recording a follow-up album.

After the split, Gabriel and Statham continued working together for several years, writing and producing songs for a variety of acts including Dido and Kylie Minogue. Gabriel has subsequently worked with Miss Kittin, Ladyhawke, Little Boots, Marina and the Diamonds and Goldfrapp, amongst others. Lamb went on to write music for film and television, and founded a sonic branding company, creating audio identities for clients such as T-mobile, AT&T, Ben & Jerry's and Disney. On 27 November 2009, Lamb appeared at The Royal Vauxhall Tavern in South London to perform two of her Peach singles - "From This Moment On" and "Sorrow Town".

Talk:The Fog

Movie shot two times
This sounds interesting: "Carpenter shot the movie almost two times, because he was not satisfied with the original result".

Could be something good to elaborate on if someone knows details. Like, did they go back and do extensive reshoots much later, or did they just keep doing multi retakes. Which particular sections were reshot? Precinct13 00:32, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * As I understand it, the reshoots were done after a rough cut of the film was put together and was deemed a disappointment and not scary enough by both Carpenter and the studio. Reshoots were scheduled and had to be completed quickly in order for the film to make its release date. The opening campfire sequence was a new addition, the scene early in the film in which the town is beseiged by poltergeist-like activity was newly conceived, and gorier inserts were shot and edited into many of the murders to make the deaths more graphic.12.162.189.80 20:19, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Urban Legend tag
This is tagged as part of the category "Films from urban legends," but I've never heard of an urban legend similar to the plot of this movie. If someone knows of this urban legend, I'd suggest putting some information on it on the page (at the bottom, in a separate section). Otherwise, I think we might want to remove that category.

I think the category should be removed. Carpenter said that part of his inspiration for this film came from reading about actual shipwrecks off the California coast, not from an urban legend. He specifically mentioned one incident near Goleta, California in which a ship was lured toward rocks with a false beacon and then plundered after it crashed.

Actually, I'm surprised that nobody has nominated "Films from urban legends" for deletion. A surprising number of the movies listed in this category don't appear to be based on urban legends. People seem to be padding it out with random (mostly) horror films, or they don't seem to understand what an "urban legend" is. For example, I have no idea what urban legends Caspar the Friendly Ghost or Maximum Overdrive are supposed to based on, either. Sullenspice 22:52, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Lead paragraph
I reverted the edit by Nreive because it included redundant info and an unnecessary reference to the 2005 remake. As it is, there are already too many references to the remake. Let's not forget that the focus of this article is the original 1980 film. Sullenspice (talk) 16:20, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I know it's a bit late in the day to reply to this topic, but I thought it would be necessary to set the record straight. Not long after Sullenspice reverted the lead paragraph, I put the info back in. Take a good look at Lead and WikiProject Films/Style guidelines for an understanding of what goes into the lead. Thanks, Nreive (talk) 10:05, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Organization of the article
I've tried to shape the article, although much more work needs to be done. There was far too much redundant content. I'm still not completely happy with the "Inspiration" and "Analysis" sections--perhaps they can be combined into a single section--but at this point it is more clearly divided into different thematic section than it was before.

Also, people really need to stop peppering this article with references to the remake. There is an entire section devoted to it here, AND it has a separate article. There is absolutely no reason to keep mentioning it in the introductory paragraph. Sullenspice (talk) 21:31, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

John, you sly dog
So the article says the female lead was Adrienne Barbeau, "Carpenter's then wife", and the co-producing was done by his "then-girlfriend" Debra Hill. Are both of these true simultaneously? Was Barbeau his wife and Hill his girlfriend at the time the movie was shot? If not, some rewording is in order. If so, some rewording is in order. TomorrowTime (talk) 23:33, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

 * He met Barbeau in 1978 and they were married from 1979-1984. Carpenter went to Stonehenge with his then-girlfriend Hill while promoting Assault on Precinct 13 in 1976. So there is no need for any crossover in time there. It might be no rewording is really needed, but I think it'd be clearer if the two sentences were merged into one or move the bit before the comma in the second sentence to the end of the first sentence. It'd make the timing clearer. (Emperor (talk) 05:02, 26 November 2012 (UTC))

Reference in Pokémon Black 2 White 2
Might not be relevant, but in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, one of the movies you can make at Pokéstar Studios is "Red Fog of Terror", and the director's name is John Pokénter, a reference to John Carpenter. 96.42.112.136 (talk) 02:44, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Questions
The Plot section describes the ghosts as the crew of a wrecked clipper ship, but then refers to "pirates"; who were they? The same bunch, or some others? Also, are the revenants just after the descendants of the wreckers, or are they out to kill anyone they can find; why are some killed and some spared? What is the link between the people who are in the town now, and the ones there then? The article doesn't make this clear. Can anyone who has seen the film clarify this? Swanny18 (talk) 18:53, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The crew of the Elizabeth Dane were not pirates, they were simply mariners who were afflicted with leprosy. Malone suggests that they have conme back for the descendants of the six original conspirators, though this is muddled a bit when they attack Stevie at her lighthouse (and she had only just moved to Antonio Bay). 2.125.94.245 (talk) 15:48, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

six degrees & admin
i was only an admin very briefly, and i stopped editing wikipedia much at all shortly after, so there wasn't much point me being one. and yes, the six degrees thing was broken shortly after the upgrade, but should be fixed now (if you didn't notice already) :) —kate

 * Nice to see you. I love six degrees!!! Redwolf24 15:46, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Belated thanks
Hey, thanks for your highest award.. Assuming that's still your highest :) Sorry I didn't thank you earlier, I was really buzy with Wiki than forgot :( . duble dahnku. ∞ Who ? ¿ ? 10:54, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Please unblock me
Hi I am new to Wikipedia and somehow got myself blocked as a vandal, IDK.

One contribution I did make today is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:ISO_3166-2:ES.

I later corrected a spelling mistake Région (fr) to Región (es) but it hasn't appeared.

Can you help?

TIA, Chris Dent

 * If you can leave a message at my page.... you aren't blocked. Its possible that someone blocked one of your IPs if you use AOL but that block should be cleared up by now. Redwolf24 15:46, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

VFD assistance
Hi, Redwolf. I was wondering if I could get your opinion on this VFD: Votes for deletion/US Government Simulator (it's a small government simulation game that claims to have been the first developed). As of right now, the whole thing is a mess (sock puppets, personal attacks, you-name-it-we-got-it). I personally voted merge but changed it to delete after some of the recent (and somewhat violent) comments by that site's users. What do you think? (You don't have to vote; I just want to get someone else's opinion on it). Thanks, Jaxl | talk 19:40, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Update: Actually, it seems to be going pretty well now. It looks like the article is going to be deleted. You can still look at it if you want, but I think it's alright now. Jaxl | talk 23:59, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Good to see its cleared up. Sockpuppets drive me insane to be frank. Redwolf24 00:19, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Question
Hello will you please help me out by helping me advertise a screenplay, http://www.scriptbuddy.com/community/?p=4291528833&t=&pg=, I'm really trying to get people to read it, and I'm just asking that you just put the link up on your userpage, so someone'll click on it and read it, then rate it, because my friend really needs it to be rated, so he knows what to do with it. I'm trying to be a good friend so I'm helping him out, so I'm asking you to help me. Also I used to be User:Wikipedia Username if you didn't know. The Fäcist Chicken 03:01, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedians for decency!!!!!!!
Got you into a bit of a rut perhaps?

Anyway, your edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Votes_for_deletion/WikiProject_Wikipedians_for_Decency&curid=2472519&diff=21343757&oldid=21332245

removed the percentage from the delete side but not from the add side - are we doing percentages here.... or?

Anyway, take care and don't get too stressed out :\.

-- Ryan Norton T 05:40, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry I forgot the other. *is too lazy* I'm surprised you voted keep :-/ ah well though. I was the first person to vote delete after the nominator and when I voted it was two against one. Now its like 100 to 70 x.x Redwolf24 05:44, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Returning the Favor

Howdy
If I EVER gave you the impression that I didn't like you, or made you think that I didn't approve of your edits, or if you got the impression from me that I considered your administrative actions improper, I apologize absolutely. I highly value your imput, your contributions and respect your opinion in every instance. Forgive my relatively stern tone at times, my to-the-point approach and my forgetfulness to remember to not push my weight around! I have NO enemies in Wikipedia...none whatsoever...and have always considered your contributions of great value to this endeavour. Most of all, I thank you for the barnstar...something I'm not sure I'm worthy of...and have moved a copy of it to my userpage. Whatever I can do to help, never hesitate to ask.--MONGO 01:03, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Redwolf
Hi Redwolf, Im Moe Epsilon. I just dropped you a line to tell you that I like your user page and to let you know that I beat your Wikitest score. You said "I scored a WOPPING 475.

3RR and copyright violations
As I did on the noticeboard 2 days ago, I am asking for a precedent that an edit dealing with multiple subjects, both inserting and deleting text, is considered a revert for purposes of the 3RR rule simply because it involves the deletion of some pre-existing text. As I pointed out there, it does not meet the definition of revert stated in the 3RR guideline. I believe you are letting your subjective opinion of me cloud your judgment on the applicable guidelines. And I am still awaiting your explanation of why you believe the insertion of two screens worth of copyrighted text, without an acknowledgment of the direct quotation, cannot fairly be viewed as a copyright violation. When I worked as a teaching assistant (both at the undergraduate and graduate levels), such an uncredited appropriation of text would have been treated as plagiarism resulting in both a failing grade on the written project involved and the initiation of an academic disciplinary review. The level of personal abuse that's been directed at me for pointing out a clear breach of applicable Wikipedia guidelines is ridiculous, and an admin should certainly not engage in it.Monicasdude 17:02, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

 * You never pointed out what section of the article was copyvio'd. How are we supposed to figure out it was a copyvio if you don't show us how? Sorry for my mean remarks. Toothpaste is a great editor and I guess I was annoyed you accused her of a copyvio. Its also possible someone else who worked on the article had one it. I'm sorry, Redwolf24 22:39, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I noted the specific sections on the article's talk page. The copyvio guidelines are pretty explicit: "blank the page and replace the text" with the copyvio template. There's no procedure to replace individual sections, as there is for individual images. Monicasdude 20:29, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

VfD
Trawling my way through today's watchlist, among the apparently hundreds of VfDs you closed, I was wondering about Votes for deletion/A. F. Gotch. You called a no-consensus. Why was that? My raw count is 7d-3k, but discounting Dottoreso, I'd get 6d-3k, though of course there's the discussion to go with the votes. -Splash 22:16, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Ah! Sorry I didn't notice the vote of Uppland. I mistook it for a comment. I'll tell him to make his vote more clear and delete that article. Redwolf24 22:28, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks. Yeah, I missed that vote the first time through, too. -Splash 22:39, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Btw, I noticed you stopped using subst: with your vt and vb. It save the server load quite a bit to have those templates subst'd in because of the number of times they're used. -Splash 23:54, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes yes I know about the server and templates. I've been copying and pasting Delete. ~ on pages but I've been typing  as I'm feeling rather lazy... Redwolf24 23:57, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I see you already have a monobook.js, as well as the rollback button of course. But if you filter through my monobook.js I've written a pair of functions that give you buttons for closing VfD debates and dropping a message on the article's talk page. I didn't write myself a delete button, but you can see how to do one easy enough. -Splash 00:05, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * That sounds interesting, maybe I'll try it sometime. However I'm a javascript dumbass and it seems when I copy sections of Java they don't work unless I take the whole script. :-/ Redwolf24 00:08, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Adamwankenobi
Controversial, feh. He penisized my user page. He must be blocked. :) FreplySpang (talk) 22:56, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

 * Haha. Normally he just edits Star Wars articles, and well... then he gets sockpuppets to vandalize George W. Bush. But I guess he flipped out >xD Redwolf24 22:58, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I guess he's back. And no he didn't flip out. That guy was simoultaniously working toward FreplySpang. And no, it wasn't one of my guys, clever though, but gives me a bad name. Adamwankenobi 23:11, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Redwolf24, I don't know the situation with Adamwankenobi and Star Wars and GWB. I was mistaken when I thought it was him dropping penis pictures all over my user talk page. Since that was the reason for my block, I've unblocked him. FreplySpang (talk)

 * Alright. Actually Adam its good to see you haven't touched GWB lately. Redwolf24 23:16, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Hey RedWolf!
I did not flip, I'm merely my same old self! Myself and User:supershag11 are having our little agreements. There is no need whatsoever for you or anyone to get involved in our situation. Adamwankenobi 23:17, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

folk metal
Folk metal is a specific genre of music, including bands like finntroll and Ensiferum. I like these groups, but I tend to use the word in a broader fashion, including all sorts of music that combines the two elements, from Jethro tull to Irish traditional/hardcore fusion bands like the pogues or Dropkick Murphys, as well as a number of other groups (brathanki comes to mind). Also, I tend to like all sorts of music called "folk", "ethnic", or "traditional", particularly old time bluegrass, as well as all sorts of metal (I've been hearing alot of manowar and yngwie malmstein lately). I listen to plenty of other music too, I try to find at least one band per genre that I can appreciate in some way. The hardest for me so far has been pop, but I do like Abba alot, if they count... Let me know if your ever in the mood to discuss types of music or trade band recommendations, its a favorite subject of mine :)

Kate's sex
If you look at the history of WP:KATE, it was user:Flcelloguy who assumed Kate was male, not me. Besides, how do you know he/she really is a girl anyway? Maybe it's because I'm from asia, so initially I thought Kate was a japanese name, ie pronounced "kah-tay". Borisblue 00:46, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Kate is a common female name in most of the world. Sorry I didn't realize you were from Asia. Kate can be short for Katelyn, Kathryn, and many other deviants variants. Redwolf24 00:50, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Variants or derivatives. You probably don't want to use deviants here. (Refactoring hint: This comment is pedantry and may be removed when acknowledged.) JRM · Talk 00:55, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Haha, that would be a brain fart. I know what deviant means. Mind was elsewhere ;) And no need to remove the comment. Redwolf24 00:58, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

The Branin close
Hi there. When you closed the Branin VfD, your edit summary was, "stupid votes below the bar." I wonder if you wouldn't mind explaining what you meant. Kind regards— Encephalon |  ζ   01:47:42, 2005-08-22 (UTC)

 * Ah. See you know the edit box and how you have to scroll down? well the votes were below that end and there was like three returns so I missed them on the first closing. Redwolf24 01:54, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I see now. First you did this, by accident. I only asked because your summary can be taken to mean something else, entirely; always good to be careful when writing them, no? :) Regards— Encephalon |  ζ   02:03:01, 2005-08-22 (UTC)
 * Normally I am careful... I didn't expect anyone to read it ;) Redwolf24 02:04, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Deleting articles on VFD
A reminder: As per Deletion process, when you delete articles on VFD, always paste the link to the VFD discussion in the "Reason for deletion" box. It helps other admins like myself to have easy access to those discussions in the deletion log, especially when another user asks about the results, or challenges them on VFU. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 02:29, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome
I've been reading Wikipedia articles for a long time now. It was only recently that I found it was fun to edit articles too, so many thanks for the welcome.

I still need to read most of the style rules and editing tutorials, but they are more interesting (to me, at least) than your average Joe Random writer. I'm already a member of the FreeBSD documentation team, so writing quality material is I might say a hobby of mine.

Off to read some of the great reference material you suggested. Have fun :)

Killing Gallery
You're statement to EvilMonkey that I "tried to kill" his gallery is completely without truth or merit. I guess it just shows the type of "admin" you are. Agriculture 06:46, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * And your statement about quitting was the same. Redwolf24 06:56, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * You put it on VfD which is why I said that. Redwolf24 06:59, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Ah, trollish to the end I see. No actually, I did not put it up on VfD,  cleary shows it was User:AgricuIture, a sockpuppet someone, perhaps you or one of your friends, created to discredit me.  Check the IP's, I have no affiliation with that sockpuppet.  But you already know that don't you.  Do you really wonder why I doubt both your abilities to stay neutral, or to be a responsible admin?  Here you are spreading lies about me on EvilMonkey's page and not even bothering to check your facts.  Agriculture 07:09, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * How dare you accuse me of bad faith? And how many times have you said 'this is my last edit?' I have no sockpuppets I assure you. When I searched the deleted history of his article I typed Agricu and it brought me there and then I typed the l and it sayd could not be found. I didn't realize it was a troll sock. Sorry for that. Anyways, cease your attacks on me at once. Do I accuse you of puppeting someone at User:Redwolf24/Vandals? No because I am above that. Redwolf24 07:12, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry for the accusation of sockpuppetry, but being an admin you have a responsibility to fully check your facts before spreading rumors. I accuse you of irresponsibility if not bad faith.  I'll withdraw my accusation of your bad faith, I'm sure you're a decent person.  I just don't believe you are capable of being NPOV, or responsible with your privelages as an administrator.  As an admin people listen to what you say.  By debasing other users without checking your facts you abuse your privelage.  If I were sticking around I would initiate an RfC against you because of it.  Frankly though I don't care.  As for leaving, yes I've edited a few more times because I wanted to wrap up/clear up a few last things last this particular incident.  If our conversation is now over, I assure you, you will never see me again.  Gone or not though, I would advise you to both take your position more seriously and be more responsible. Agriculture 07:17, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Leaving
Sad to see you leaving, I say this with full sincerity. Though I doubt your ability to properly fulfill duties as an admin, you are obviously a wonderful editor in other respects. I don't blame you as Wikipedia is not a place I want to be either, but you are a great loss to the project. I'm also sorry if my comments upset you, suggesting you might be a sockpuppet was in bad form. Agriculture 07:25, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Don't feed the trolls, or listen to them either

What are YOU doing?
You just got your admin and now you're leaving? I don't know what transpired between you and User:Agriculture but both of you are acting strangely. Pretend I am the arbitrator and I sentence you to a 48 hour wiki break. Stay away from Agriculture's edits, leave him alone, I will tell him the same...just both of you go do your own thing here in this Wiki...if you bump into each other again, ignore each other. I really don't want you to go unless you feel compelled to do so. This project needs good contributors, and we all suffer from our own biases.--MONGO 10:36, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Ten Attendants

The Ten Attendants, also known as the Ten Eunuchs, were a group of influential eunuch-officials in the imperial court of Emperor Ling ((r. undefined – undefined) 168–189) in Eastern Han China. Although they are often referred to as a group of 10, there were actually 12 of them, and all held the position of zhong changshi (中常侍; "Central Regular Attendant") in Emperor Ling's imperial court.

The 12 were: Zhang Rang (張讓), Zhao Zhong (趙忠), Xia Yun (夏惲), Guo Sheng (郭勝), Sun Zhang (孫璋), Bi Lan (畢嵐), Li Song (栗嵩), Duan Gui (段珪), Gao Wang (高望), Zhang Gong (張恭), Han Kui (韓悝) and Song Dian (宋典).

Early years
Two of the eunuchs, Zhang Rang (張讓) and Zhao Zhong (趙忠), started serving in the Han imperial palace as attendants holding the rank of jishi shengzhong (給事省中). Zhang Rang was from Yingchuan Commandery (潁川郡; around present-day Xuchang, Henan) while Zhao Zhong was from Anping Commandery (安平郡; around present-day Jizhou, Hebei). They were promoted to xiao huangmen (小黃門) during the reign of Emperor Huan ((r. undefined – undefined) 146–168). In 159, Zhao Zhong participated in a coup against Liang Ji, a highly influential general who monopolised state power in the 150s, and succeeded in ousting him from power. In recognition of Zhao Zhong's efforts, Emperor Huan enfeoffed him as a marquis of a chief district (都鄉侯). In 165, Zhao Zhong was promoted to a secondary marquis (關內侯) and allowed to draw an annual salary of 1,000 hu of grain.

During Emperor Ling's reign
During the reign of Emperor Ling ((r. undefined – undefined) 168–189), Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang rose to the position of zhong changshi (中常侍) and received marquis titles from the emperor. They were also close allies of two other influential eunuchs, Cao Jie (曹節; died 181) and Wang Fu (王甫; died 179). After Cao Jie's death, Zhao Zhong assumed the appointment of Empress's Chamberlain (大長秋). Around the time, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, along with ten others – Xia Yun (夏惲), Guo Sheng (郭勝), Sun Zhang (孫璋), Bi Lan (畢嵐), Li Song (栗嵩), Duan Gui (段珪), Gao Wang (高望), Zhang Gong (張恭), Han Kui (韓悝) and Song Dian (宋典) – all held the position of zhong changshi (中常侍), in addition to marquis titles. Their relatives and associates, who were spread throughout the various provinces and commanderies of the Han Empire, were notorious for corruption.

Zhang Rang instructed Bi Lan to serve the area near the Luoyang palace with running water, and so Bi Lan built chain pumps and suction pumps outside the Peace Gate.

Yellow Turban Rebellion
When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in 184, an official Zhang Jun (張鈞) wrote a memorial to Emperor Ling, blaming the Ten Attendants and their relatives and associates for the corruption that fuelled the grievances which led to the rebellion. He urged Emperor Ling to execute the Ten Attendants and make it known throughout the Han Empire, so as to appease the common people's anger.

When Emperor Ling showed the eunuchs the memorial, they removed their hats and shoes, knelt down, begged the emperor to imprison them and expressed their willingness to donate their wealth to fund the army in quelling the rebellion. The emperor ordered them to put on their hats and shoes, and continue with what they were doing previously. He then chided Zhang Jun, "You're mad! Are there no good ones among the Ten Attendants?" Zhang Jun submitted another memorial similar to the previous one, but the memorial never made it to Emperor Ling's desk. Emperor Ling later ordered the Minister of Justice (廷尉) and Imperial Secretaries (御史) to investigate Zhang Jue and his Taiping Sect (太平道), who started the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Zhang Rang and the eunuchs secretly instructed the investigators to frame Zhang Jun for learning the ways of the Taiping Sect; Zhang Jun was imprisoned and tortured, and eventually died in prison.

The eunuchs themselves were, in fact, secretly in contact or collaborating with Zhang Jue. After two eunuchs, Feng Xu (封諝) and Xu Feng (徐奉), were caught and executed, an angry Emperor Ling scolded the eunuchs, "You often say the officials were up to no good. Some of them have been imprisoned while others were executed. Now they are the ones who prove to be useful for the Empire, while you're the ones working with Zhang Jue. So whom should I execute?" The eunuchs begged for mercy and pushed the blame to Wang Fu (王甫) and Hou Lan (侯覽). Emperor Ling then let them off.

Corruption
Zhang Rang had a number of housekeepers to help him manage his household. His housekeepers built networks with other influential persons and accepted bribes. There was one Meng Tuo (孟佗) from Fufeng Commandery (扶風郡) who gave all his family fortune as a gift to one of Zhang Rang's housekeepers. The housekeeper, grateful for the generous gift, asked him what he wanted in return. Meng Tuo said that all he wanted was to meet Zhang Rang. Around the time, there were many people seeking an audience with Zhang Rang; these people, bringing along carts filled with gifts, formed a long queue outside Zhang Rang's residence. Meng Tuo showed up late so he could not enter. To his surprise, the housekeeper, whom he befriended, came out to welcome him like an honoured guest and instructed the servants to carry him into Zhang Rang's residence. The other visitors saw that and thought that he was a special friend of Zhang Rang, so they eagerly showered him with gifts to flatter him. When Meng Tuo met Zhang Rang later, he gave some of the gifts he received to the latter, who was delighted. Zhang Rang later helped Meng Tuo become the Inspector (刺史) of Liang Province.

In 185, when a fire broke out in the southern part of the imperial palace, the Ten Attendants suggested to Emperor Ling to levy a tax of ten maces from every mu of farmland to raise funds for rebuilding the palace. Emperor Ling then ordered the officials in Taiyuan (太原), Hedong (河東) and Didao (狄道) commanderies to transport wood and patterned rocks to Luoyang (the imperial capital) as construction materials. When the shipments reached the palace, the eunuchs who received them scolded the labourers for delivering materials of poor quality, and insisted on paying them far below market prices – to as low as a tenth of the market price. They then resold the materials to other eunuchs, who refused to buy. Over time, the accumulated piles of wood started decaying. The construction works were thus delayed for years. In order to please Emperor Ling, some regional officials levied heavier taxes and forced the people to produce greater quantities of construction materials – this led to greater resentment from the common people.

Emperor Ling often said, "Regular Attendant Zhang (Rang) is my father, Regular Attendant Zhao (Zhong) is my mother." As the eunuchs were highly trusted and favoured by Emperor Ling, they behaved lawlessly and abused their power. They even built lavish mansions for themselves in the same design as the imperial palace. When Emperor Ling once visited Yong'anhou Platform (永安侯臺), a high viewing platform, the eunuchs were worried that he would see their mansions and become suspicious. Thus, they told him, "Your Majesty shouldn't put yourself on higher ground. If you do so, the people will scatter." The emperor believed them and stopped visiting high towers and viewing platforms.

In 186, Emperor Ling tasked the eunuchs Song Dian (宋典) and Bi Lan (畢嵐) with overseeing new construction projects, including a new palace hall, four large bronze statues, four giant bronze bells and water-spouting animal sculptures, among others. He also ordered coins to be minted and widely circulated. Many people perceived this to be a display of the emperor's extravagance, and pointed to signs showing that the coins will eventually scatter everywhere. This turned out to be true when chaos broke out in Luoyang after Emperor Ling's death. Emperor Ling appointed Zhao Zhong as "General of Chariots of Cavalry" (車騎將軍) but removed him from office after some 100 days.

Downfall of the eunuch faction
When Emperor Ling became critically ill in 189, he secretly entrusted his younger son, Liu Xie, then about eight years old, to a close aide and eunuch, Jian Shuo. Upon the emperor's death, Jian Shuo attempted to install Liu Xie on the throne but his plan failed. Emperor Ling's older son, the 13-year-old Liu Bian, became emperor instead and was known as Emperor Shao. Empress Dowager He (Emperor Shao's mother) and General-in-Chief He Jin (Empress Dowager He's brother) became the regents ruling on behalf of the underage emperor.

In the summer of 189, after Jian Shuo learnt that He Jin and his subordinates were plotting to eliminate him, he tried to persuade his fellow eunuchs to join him in his plan to assassinate He Jin. However, they were persuaded by Guo Sheng, who was close to Empress Dowager He, to reject Jian Shuo's idea. He Jin subsequently had Jian Shuo arrested and executed, and then took control of the military units previously under Jian's command. In the autumn of 189, Yuan Shao suggested to He Jin to eliminate the eunuch faction and consolidate power. Empress Dowager He immediately rejected the idea because it required her to interact with men on a regular basis, which she found offensive and immodest. Empress Dowager He's mother (the Lady of Wuyang) and He Miao (何苗) had been bribed by the eunuchs to protect them, so they also strongly opposed He Jin's plan, saying that they owed much to the eunuchs. (Empress Dowager He had become Emperor Ling's consort because the eunuchs helped her.)

He Jin then heeded an alternative suggestion from Yuan Shao: he secretly instructed a few provincial military officials or warlords (Dong Zhuo, Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao and Ding Yuan) to lead their troops to the vicinity of Luoyang, the imperial capital, and openly demand that the eunuchs be executed – in the hope of pressuring Empress Dowager He to take action against the eunuchs. Empress Dowager He initially refused to harm the eunuchs, but as Dong Zhuo's forces approached Luoyang, she ordered the eunuchs to leave the palace and return to their marquisates. (Many of the eunuchs had been made marquises by Emperor Ling.) Empress Dowager He's younger sister married Zhang Rang's (adopted) son. Zhang Rang pleaded with her to help him, so she informed her mother (the Lady of Wuyang), who in turn spoke to Empress Dowager He. The empress dowager relented and summoned the eunuchs back to the palace.

Around September 189, the eunuchs hatched a plot to assassinate He Jin. They issued a fake imperial order in Empress Dowager He's name, instructing He Jin to enter the palace to meet her. On 22 September 189, He Jin fell into an ambush and died at the hands of the eunuchs, who declared him guilty of treason. After He Jin's death, his subordinates Wu Kuang (吳匡) and Zhang Zhang (張璋), along with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, led their troops to storm the palace and kill the eunuchs in revenge. They indiscriminately slaughtered anyone who looked like a eunuch; some young men who had no facial hair, in desperation, dropped their pants in front of the soldiers to prove that they were not eunuchs. During the attack, the eunuchs took Empress Dowager He, Emperor Shao and the Prince of Chenliu (Liu Xie) hostage and tried to flee from the palace up the Yellow River toward Chang'an. Lu Zhi intercepted the eunuch Duan Gui (段珪) and saved the empress dowager from him. He Miao, who was sympathetic towards the eunuchs, was killed by Wu Kuang and Dong Zhuo's younger brother, Dong Min (董旻). Over 2,000 people died in the attack.

Zhang Rang and some 10 other eunuchs managed to bring Emperor Shao and the Prince of Chenliu to the riverbank, with imperial forces led by Lu Zhi and Min Gong (閔貢) hot on their heels. Zhang Rang turned to Emperor Shao and tearfully said, "We're going to be destroyed and chaos will break out in the Empire. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!" He then threw himself into the river and drowned.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms
The Ten Attendants appear at the beginning of the 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which romanticises the events leading to the end of the Han dynasty and through the Three Kingdoms period of China. The ten listed in the novel were:
 * Feng Xu (封諝), executed in 184 for conspiring with the Yellow Turban rebels
 * Jian Shuo (蹇碩), killed by Guo Sheng for attempting to assassinate He Jin
 * Zhao Zhong (趙忠), killed by Yuan Shu and Wu Kuang (吳匡)
 * Guo Sheng (郭勝), killed by Yuan Shu and Wu Kuang
 * Xia Yun (夏惲), killed by Yuan Shu and Wu Kuang
 * Cheng Kuang (程曠), killed by Yuan Shu and Wu Kuang
 * Zhang Rang (張讓), drowned
 * Duan Gui (段珪), killed by Min Gong (閔貢)
 * Hou Lan (侯覽)
 * Cao Jie (曹節)

Five of these ten eunuchs were not among the historical Ten Attendants: Cheng Kuang is a fictional character (there was a eunuch by the name Cheng Huang (eunuch) [ 126–189] in the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, his given name 璜 written and pronounced slightly similar to the fictional character 曠); Feng Xu and Jian Shuo existed historically, but were not listed among the Ten Attendants in the Book of the Later Han; Hou Lan and Cao Jie died in 172 and 181 respectively so they could not have been present when the events of the novel took place.

In popular culture
The Ten Attendants appear in Koei's Dynasty Warriors video game series, specifically in 4: Xtreme Legends (Dong Zhuo's Story Mode), 5: Xtreme Legends, and 8: Xtreme Legends (Lü Bu's Story and Ambition Modes).

In Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Zhang Rang is featured as a minor antagonist. He is portrayed as a corrupt government minister who conspired with the game's main antagonist, Yu Ji, to support the Yellow Turban Rebellion in order to cause chaos in the country as a pretext to concentrate more power on himself. During the story, the unnamed protagonist, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao break into his personal estate in the capital and confront him, intent on assassinating him for his crimes. However, Zhang uses dark magic to create ten clones of himself and fight against his would-be assassins. He is eventually defeated and tries to flee, only to be killed by Dong Zhuo.

In Total War: Three Kingdoms, the Ten Attendants appear as unique court nobles. They are all part of Liu Hong's faction in the Mandate of Heaven campaign.

Wafa

Wafa (وفا, lit. 'trust', an acronym of وكالة الأنباء الفلسطينية, lit. 'Palestinian News Agency'), also referred to in English as the Palestine News Agency and the Palestinian News & Info Agency, is the official state-run news agency of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA). Before the formation of the PNA in 1994, Wafa was the official news agency of the Palestine Liberation Organization.

Wafa, like the PNA's other media outlets, are considered to be aligned with Fatah. The president of the PA appoints WAFA's head, and the organization is viewed an arm of the Palestinian government, rather than an independent agency that criticizes the Palestinian government.

Wafa provides daily news from Palestinian territories, Israel and the Middle East, and is available in English, Arabic, French and Hebrew.

Early years (1972–1994)
Following a decision at the Palestinian National Council's special session in Cairo in April 1972, the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization announced the establishment of Wafa as the official news agency of the Palestinians, based in Beirut on June 5, 1972. While initially Wafa focused on publishing "the official version of news about Palestinian affairs," especially military statements of its revolutionary leadership, Wafa's work gradually expanded. It began issuing felasteen el-thawra (meaning "Palestinian revolution"), a weekly magazine headed by Ahmed Abdel-Rahman.

During PLO's presence in Lebanon, Wafa was frequently quoted by foreign correspondents and news agencies. According to Kenneth R. Timmerman, writing for Commentary, Wafa was instrumental in shaping the Western narrative of the 1982 Lebanon War: "The information supplied by WAFA on the number of victims and their category - civilian or military - provided the basis for the dispatches leaving West Beirut, in the absence of other sources. The 'Lebanese police' so often quoted in this context had ceased to function in West Beirut early in the siege. With deadlines to meet and under the risk of falling bombs, most journalists were content with what they got. This, then, was one source of the wild exaggeration in the figures of civilian dead reported throughout the war and especially during the siege of Beirut. ... First there was the press pass issued by WAFA with the bearer's photograph, a duplicate of which remained in WAFA's offices. Without this pass, no journalist could hope to circulate in West Beirut; caught photographing, or taking notes, he would be immediately arrested if not shot on sight."

Following the PLO's ouster from Lebanon during the 1982 Lebanon War, Wafa resumed its activities in Cyprus and Tunis from November 1982.

Under the PA (1994–2005)
As a consequence of the Oslo Accords in 1994, the PLO's media institutions transferred to the aegis of the Palestinian Authority. Wafa opened offices in Gaza City and Ramallah.

Under Mahmoud Abbas (2004–present)
In April 2005, Mahmoud Abbas transferred the PNA's media assets, including Wafa, to the Palestinian Ministry of Information under Nabil Shaath. At the same time, he merged the General Information Commission into Wafa. Wafa was previously under the PA presidency and the PLO Executive Committee. Palestinian journalists had complained about the PNA's strict control over official media outlets, and the move was seen as an attempt to improve the official media's independence.

Hamas won the 2006 Palestinian legislative election and to preempt Hamas from asserting control of the media assets, Abbas transferred them back to the presidential office.

In September 2006, gunmen stormed Wafa's offices in Khan Younis and smashed equipment and beat up one reporter.

In 2015, Abbas appointed Khoulud Asaf as the new head of WAFA, the first female head of the organization. The president of the PA appoints WAFA's head, and the organization is viewed an arm of the Palestinian government, rather than an independent agency that criticizes the Palestinian government.

On December 10, 2018, Israeli soldiers raided Wafa's offices in Ramallah and fired tear gas into the building. The Palestinian Journalists' Union, the Palestinian foreign ministry, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, and the International Federation of Journalists condemned the Israeli attack.

In 2019, Wafa won the Federation of Arab News Agencies award for best report, a regional organization of national news agencies in the Arab World.

Foreign language editions
In October 2005, Wafa re-launched its French service. The French service had previously operated in Tunisia until 1994.

In 2009, Wafa launched a Hebrew version of its website; the content of this service would focus on Arab citizens of Israel. It also started mailing a daily newsletter to Israeli members of the Knesset and Hebrew media outlets. Wafa ceased its Hebrew service in 2016.

In 2022, Wafa relaunched its Hebrew service in order to "convey the Palestinian point of view to Israeli society", according to Wafa's editor-in-chief.

 * Delete; Screaming vanity | Celcius 01:15, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment; I maintain that Bush Sydney J. UK Optometrist/Researcher/Inventor: Introduced Cardioretinometry December 2002. should be deleted for more reasons than I can count - it's horribly biased, postulating and very vain. Uncle G's rewrite of Sydney J. Bush has come out alright though and should be kept.
 * Speedy delete. nn and vanity. ManoaChild 01:19, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete the article with the long title. The rewrite has merit, and I need more time to evaluate it. I applaud Uncle G's efforts; however, I wish that Uncle G had not placed the new article under this VfD, since the articles are so different. ManoaChild 20:02, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Extend delete to cover rewritten article. Unable to independantly confirm notability.  Rewritten article, while much improved, consists primarily of a list of letters written, which is not notable (fails average professor test). ManoaChild 20:42, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: As above, so below. Geogre 01:37, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment and additional vote: Uncle G's separate article is only tangentially related to the issues here, so I have to vote on it separately.  The fact that the fellow isn't spoken of or his technique much used/discussed is what makes me argue for delete on that.  Mind you, cardioretinometry is back.  Folks need to watch out for deleted things mysteriously reappearing. Geogre 13:35, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The article is gone now. There is an article there, but it is only a place-holder that says that the actual article is deleted. ManoaChild 20:02, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * As much as I am in favor of deleting vanity cranks, this one is a bit harder as we still seem to have the article on cardioretinometry. As long as that article persists there ought to be an article on its inventor.  Obviously this existing article needs to be torn to shreds and rewritten but it's anomalous to have the "medical" procedure without the "medico" who invented it. Hold-the-nose keep See below -EDM 02:46, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * cardioretinometry is gone, this should go with it. Average Earthman 09:01, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Since cardioretinometry is gone, changing vote on this to delete. As for Sydney J. Bush, thank you very much Uncle G, that was above and beyond and the deck chairs are really nicely arranged now, but delete that as well as crank.  Writers of letters to journals and organizations do not achieve notability by virtue of that activity, and the Freemasonry clinches it. -EDM 13:56, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Duplicate with very crappy title. - Mgm|(talk) 07:43, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * I've done a complete rewrite from scratch at Sydney J. Bush. It wasn't based on this article, which is entirely autobiographical, having been created by User:Sydney J Bush.  There is no need to retain Bush Sydney J. UK Optometrist/Researcher/Inventor: Introduced Cardioretinometry December 2002., and it should be Deleted as the self-promoting, biased, egregiously mis-titled, autobiographical abomination that it is. However, I have brought Sydney J. Bush under the umbrella of this discussion.  Other people don't write much about this person.  Research mainly brought up self-publicity. For the latter article, Weak Keep. Uncle G 11:22:50, 2005-08-24 (UTC)
 * Delete I applaud Uncle G's efforts, but this doctor appears to be pretty much textbook non-notable. He's got a theory, and he's given his examination style a name. That's good, and perhaps one day, we'll have a big article about how he was published and everyone follows his theory of scurvy. Until that happens, it's non-encyclopedic. -Harmil 12:42, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd say "First optometrist to make available inexpensive, cosmetically acceptable, invisible prism segment bifocal spectacle lenses (not available in the USA at present) for the relief of convergence insufficiency." is a fair claim at notability, but maybe that's because I worked with an opticien's shop. - Mgm|(talk) 12:57, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * "It is said that his birth was marked by earthquakes, tidal waves, tornadoes, firestorms, the explosion of three neighbouring stars, and, shortly afterwards, by the issuing of over six and three quarter million writs for damages from all of the major landowners in his Galactic sector. However, the only person by whom this is said is Beeblebrox himself, and there are several possible theories to explain this." — Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Fit The Ninth. I didn't find anything at all that mentioned the claim that you mention, or the claims to holding patents. The only source for these claims is User:Sydney J Bush, writing his autobiography in Wikipedia. See the rewrite for the stuff that I did find. Uncle G 13:17:16, 2005-08-24 (UTC)
 * Obviously, delete the horrible-title one and its twin firmly and quickly. For Uncle G's version, while it's very nice to see verbs in the sentences and a good structure, its virtues only make it clearer why "other people don't write much about this person", so delete (a little less firmly) that one, too. Bishonen | talk 13:13, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment/query: if the invention of cardioretinometry is notable, why has the article been deleted? Similarly, are his invisible prism segment bifocal spectacle lenses notable enough to discuss in corrective lenses?  If not, I don't believe we can call him notable.  Delete, though admittedly not as speedy as before. JDoorjam 13:21, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Because it was original research, and admitted original research, too. See Votes for deletion/Cardioretinometry where Bush says so outright, in as many words.  It's not published in peer-reviewed journals, and the only source for it is the inventor himself. Uncle G 13:32:20, 2005-08-24 (UTC)
 * Did I mention that, in addition to vanity, it is also original research? Still delete. This applies to all articles in this series related to cardioretinometry or its inventor. --IByte 16:13, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * cardioretinometry certainly was original research. And the parts of the two autobiographies by User:Sydney J Bush that also presented that theory directly, were too.  But to be original research as a biography, Sydney J. Bush would have to have presented a novel interpretation of the biography, or have been primary source material.  With no arguments that this is a novel interpretation, and cited sources for practically every individual sentence in the article, I suggest that this is not so.  As it is a biography article: rather than addressing it as if it were about the theory propounded by the person, which it is not, it's best addressed on the grounds of whether the person, that it is about, satisfies the Criteria for inclusion of biographies, as Geogre, MacGyverMagic, EDM, Harmil, JDoorjam, and Bishonen have done above, discussing such things as whether people have written about this person and what this person's recognized achievements have been. Uncle G 18:10:45, 2005-08-24 (UTC)
 * Vanity, then. This is why I'm usually not fond of merging VfDs for related articles, because the reasonings may differ. Building a bridge from one reasoning to the next, though, I don't think coming up with a theory that fails WP:NOR gets you sufficient notability to pass WP:BIO. --IByte 18:58, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Groups of articles nominated together are sometimes troublesome in that regard, yes. But this wasn't a group of articles, just a rewrite done as the discussion progressed, a rewrite to replace an autobiography with a biography, about the same subject.  That your opinion about a rewrite may differ from your opinion of the original is the idea. ☺  Moreover: It's better to bring rewrites created as new articles under the same umbrella than not to.  Uncle G 19:47:53, 2005-08-24 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your efforts, but I don't think the subject matter has sufficient merit for WP. --IByte 20:13, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The re-write just scrapes through in my opinion so a weak keep for that, delete the other. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px| ]] 20:21, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete all of them. --Carnildo 22:11, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete both, he wrote letters to the [BMJ] - if he'd been asked for an article I might have been convinced. But having a letter published in a journal is nn. --Doc (?) 09:41, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable, vanity, advertising. From this point on, any similar articles should be speedied as re-creations of material voted for deletion even if not absolutely identical in content. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:02, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep something about this guy? I did a search of the U.S. patent database and found patent number 4,124,282 issued to one Sydney J. Bush in 1978 for "ophthalmic lenses" to be used for the unobtrusive correction of anisometropia. Crypticfirefly 04:37, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Steve Tannen

Steven J. "Steve" Tannen (born 1968) is an American singer-songwriter. He is best known for being in the folk-pop duo The Weepies.

Early life and career
Tannen was born in New York City, but grew up in Australia and Canada in addition to New York. He started performing at an early age and learned music at home. He is the grandson of magician Louis Tannen and the brother of songwriter Greg Tannen and screenwriter Robert Tannen.

Steve graduated from Mamaroneck High School. He received a degree in English from Stanford University. Tannen worked as a production assistant in Hollywood, becoming a script reader and assistant to film director Norman Jewison. He interned at radio station KCRW, and then moved to Colorado to work for the Computational and Information Systems Laboratory (CISL) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). He left NCAR after a year and worked odd jobs around the US, developing a personal mix of folk and rock.

He returned to New York and, with the help from former Suzanne Vega guitarist Jon Gordon, started a rock and roll project. This turned into his debut album "Big Señorita" which was chosen as one of Performing Songwriter Magazine's Top 12 Independent Releases of 2001. In 2001, while touring behind Big Senorita, Tannen met his future wife and musical partner Deb Talan at a show at Club Passim in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His second solo CD "Stopped at a Green Light" was released in September 2003; this was quickly followed by the first Weepies album Happiness in December of that same year.

In addition to The Weepies' albums, Talan and Tannen collaborated with singer/actress Mandy Moore on her 2007 album Wild Hope. Together, they wrote and recorded five songs with Mandy – the single "Extraordinary," the title track "Wild Hope," "All Good Things," "Few Days Down" and "Looking Forward to Looking Back."

Steve is also a member of The Tannen Brothers, in which he plays with his brother Greg Tannen.
