Carl Esmond

Carl Esmond (born Karl Simon; June 14, 1902  – December 4, 2004) was an Austrian-born American film and stage actor, born in Vienna, Austria-Hungary. Although his age was given as 33 in the passenger list when he arrived in the USA in January 1938, in his naturalization petition his birth year is stated as 1902. His stage names were Willy Eichberger and Charles Esmond and finally Carl Esmond. He trained at Vienna's State Academy of Dramatic Arts, and made his film debut in the operetta The Emperor's Waltz (1933). He was active in the Viennese genre of shallow romantic comedies so popular in the Austria of the interwar period.

Esmond fled Germany following the Nazi takeover, first to the UK and finally in January 1938 to the USA. Esmond continued to appear on stage as well as in British and American films. He appeared in over 50 films and numerous television programs.

Death
Esmond died in Brentwood, Los Angeles in 2004 at the age of 102.

Talk:Coyoacán

Coyoacán is a partner city with Arlington County, Virginia, USA.

What does that mean ?

 * It actually should say it is a Sister City. I just made the change (+ link!) to make things clearer. See this link for confirmation. -- Rune Welsh ταλκ 23:15, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

South?
While Coyoacan is typically thought of as being in the south of the city, it is in fact geographically in the middle. The southern delegaciones were once mostly rural, but, in fact, if you look at the population you have over 1.5 million people living there. The rate of expansion of the city is tremendous and Coyoacan can no longer be considered as the south. If you don't want to include the Coyoacan neighborhood as part of the article, then really you might want to take out the parts of the Jardin Centenario, since this is really the heart of the Coyoacan neighborhood, not the delegacion. Burleigh 13:44, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I think you're right about the centenario park thing. It would be more proper to make a new section in this article about the neighborhood to make the distinction. If the neighborhood section ever grows too large then it can be moved to its article. However about the south thing, I'd like to refer you to this map (3.2 MB pdf!) where the extent of the urban spread is shown. Judge for yourself and let me know, but I do think it shows that Coyoacan is more in the southern part of the city than at the center, even if relative to the DF only. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ | Esperanza  14:03, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I usually think of Tlalpan and Xochimilco as the south of the city, and these are fairly dense areas. True, Coyoacan is south of the densest part of the city, but it isn't the south per se. How about a sentence like this:

 * Although geographically located in the center of the city, Coyoacán for many years was considered to be in the southern end of Mexico City. As the southernmost boroughs of the city, especially Xochimilco and Tlalpan, have begun to grow, the view of Coyoacán as the south end of the city has begun to change.

 * As far as the Jardin Centenario, etc. is there a proper name for that neighborhood? I always thought of it as just Coyoacán, but maybe there is an initial name.  Burleigh 15:08, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Your sentence is a bit misleading because Coyoacan is at the center of the Federal District but not of the city itself. The center of the city (even if not geographical) is in the Zocalo and you'll find a hard time to convince everybody else of the opposite or even hinting otherwise. I'd support your change if you change "center of the city" for "center of the Federal District" and "has begun to change" to "may change" unless you can cite a reputable source for this change of perception.

 * The proper name of the neighborhood is Colonia del Carmen but everyday speech it is equated with "Coyoacán" because the center of the borough is there. San Ángel is located in Álvaro Obregón-- Rune Welsh | ταλκ | Esperanza  15:44, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Órale, sounds fair enough. I figured out the San Angel bit, that's why I removed the comment. Burleigh 15:53, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Great! -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ | Esperanza  16:01, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Museums?
The text says Coyoacán was home to Dolores del Río, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, and also to Leon Trotsky (Лeв Трóцкий), and the houses they lived in are now both museums.

"Both" is confusing, as the sentence appears to refer to three units: two individuals and a married couple. I know Kahlo's childhood home, later shared by her and Rivera, is a museum. Is the other museum Trotsky's or del Rio's house? AmyinNoCal (talk) 10:03, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I dont remember writing that nor can I find it. Only Frida's and Trotsky's houses are museums. Del Rio's is still a private residence. Please fix. Thanks...Thelmadatter (talk) 00:55, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * never mind, I see this was written last April.Thelmadatter (talk) 00:56, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Larry LaRocco

Lawrence Paul LaRocco (born August 25, 1946) is an American politician who served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing the Idaho's 1st congressional district from 1991 to 1995.

LaRocco ran for lieutenant governorship in 2006 and the U.S. Senate in 2008; he was defeated by Jim Risch in the general election both times.

Early life and family
LaRocco was born in Van Nuys, a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Portland in 1967. He earned his M.S. from Boston University in 1969. He also studied at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.

LaRocco and his wife Chris have two children and two grandchildren.

Military service
LaRocco joined the U.S. Army and was commissioned on August 15, 1969; he was eventually promoted to captain and served in military intelligence at the Intelligence Data Handling Systems (IDHS) at 7th Army Headquarters in Heidelberg, Germany towards the end of his army career. On May 24, 1972, the Baader-Meinhof Gang, the precursor of the Red Army Faction, exploded a car bomb outside of Campbell Barracks which killed three of LaRocco's fellow soldiers. LaRocco was honorably discharged on June 10, 1972.

Political career
In 1975, LaRocco took a job as northern Idaho field co-ordinator for Idaho U.S. Senator Frank Church, a position he held until Church's defeat in 1980; in 1976, he also was the co-ordinator for the Oregon primary election for Church's Presidential run.

In the 1982 elections, LaRocco was the Democratic nominee for Idaho's 1st congressional district; he lost to incumbent Larry Craig, but received 46.5 percent of the vote on his first try for public office. LaRocco also gained notice that year for taking jobs for one week in each of the district's 19 counties. He variously worked on a garbage truck, picked apples, waited on tables, worked in a nursing home and on a logging road crew, fed Coho smolt and processed cheese, among other things.

After the 1982 race, he became the vice-president of a brokerage firm in 1983. In 1986, he ran for the Idaho Legislature, losing an Idaho State Senate race in Ada County to Republican incumbent Jim Risch.

U.S. House of Representatives
LaRocco won Idaho's 1st congressional district seat in the United States House of Representatives in 1990 when incumbent Larry Craig ran successfully for the United States Senate. He was easily re-elected in 1992, winning every county in the district and with a 50,000-vote margin over his main opponent—a surprising margin, considering the 1st has historically been a very Republican district.

LaRocco was the only member of Congress from Idaho to vote for the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. The vote proved to be quite unpopular in the district, and was exploited by Republicans in LaRocco's subsequent election campaigns.

LaRocco was decisively defeated in his attempt to win a third term in 1994 by Republican Helen Chenoweth, becoming one of a large number of Democrats to lose their seats in a nationwide string of Republican victories as the Republicans took control of the House for the first time in 40 years. LaRocco would be the last Democrat to represent Idaho in Congress until the election of Walt Minnick to the 1st congressional district seat in 2008.

Lieutenant Governor campaign
On March 18, 2006, LaRocco filed to run for Lieutenant Governor of Idaho. In the May 23 primary he won the nomination but lost to Risch in the November 7, 2006 general election.

U.S. Senate campaign
In April 2007, LaRocco announced that he would be a candidate for the U.S. Senate. It was the third time LaRocco ran against Risch in an election, as LaRocco and Risch both decisively won their respective primaries on May 27, 2008. LaRocco's campaign invested in a grassroots network.

A key feature of the LaRocco campaign was his "Working for the Senate" program. During the campaign, LaRocco worked at thirty-five separate positions around the state of Idaho. He engaged his opponents in a series of debates around the state of Idaho. On August 18, 2008, he and Independent candidate Rex Rammell met for a one-hour debate in Coeur d'Alene. These two met again in Sandpoint on September 10. A third debate took place on the campus of the College of Idaho in Caldwell on September 25. LaRocco and Rammell were joined at this event by Libertarian candidate Kent Marmon and independent candidate Pro-Life (the legal name of the former Marvin Richardson).

A fourth debate was held between LaRocco and Rammell on October 1, 2008 at the University of Idaho, in Moscow.

KLEW-TV, the CBS affiliate located in Lewiston, hosted a debate on October 8 which featured Larry LaRocco, Jim Risch and Rex Rammell. This was the first time that the Republican candidate joined his opponents in a debate in 2008.

Rammell and LaRocco met once again for a debate in Idaho Falls on October 13. Three days later, the two debated for the seventh time. This time the debate was held on the campus of the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls.

KTVB-TV, the NBC affiliate located in Boise sponsored a debate on October 21 between Jim Risch, Larry LaRocco, Rex Rammell and Pro-Life on the campus of Northwest Nazarene College in Nampa. This 90 minute forum was co-hosted by the Idaho Press-Tribune and the Idaho Business Review. It marked only the second time that Republican Jim Risch was present for any of these debates.

The statewide debate hosted by Idaho Public Television, the League of Women Voters and the Idaho Press Club was held on October 23 in Boise. Four of the five candidates for the United States Senate were in attendance. Republican Jim Risch was not present.

Corannulene

Corannulene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with chemical formula C20H10. The molecule consists of a cyclopentane ring fused with 5 benzene rings, so another name for it is [5]circulene. It is of scientific interest because it is a geodesic polyarene and can be considered a fragment of buckminsterfullerene. Due to this connection and also its bowl shape, corannulene is also known as a buckybowl. Buckybowls are fragments of buckyballs. Corannulene exhibits a bowl-to-bowl inversion with an inversion barrier of 10.2 kcal/mol (42.7 kJ/mol) at −64 °C.

Synthesis
Several synthetic routes exist to corannulene. Flash vacuum pyrolysis techniques generally have lower chemical yields than solution-chemistry syntheses, but offer routes to more derivatives. Corannulene was first isolated in 1966 by multistep organic synthesis. In 1971, the synthesis and properties of corannulane were reported. A flash vacuum pyrolysis method followed in 1991. One synthesis based on solution chemistry consists of a nucleophilic displacement–elimination reaction of an octabromide with sodium hydroxide:

 * Corannulene synthesis Sygula 2000.svg

The bromine substituents are removed with an excess of n-butyllithium.

A kilogram scale synthesis of corannulene has been achieved.

Much effort is directed at functionalization of the corannulene ring with novel functional groups such as ethynyl groups, ether groups, thioether groups, platinum functional groups, aryl groups, phenalenyl fused and indeno extensions. and ferrocene groups.

Aromaticity
The observed aromaticity for this compound is explained with a so-called annulene-within-an-annulene model. According to this model corannulene is made up of an aromatic 6 electron cyclopentadienyl anion surrounded by an aromatic 14 electron  cation. This model was suggested by Barth and Lawton in the first synthesis of corannulene in 1966. They also suggested the trivial name 'corannulene', which is derived from the annulene-within-an-annulene model: core + annulene.

 * Corannulenres.png

However, later theoretical calculations have disputed the validity of this approximation.

Reduction
Corannulene can be reduced up to a tetraanion in a series of one-electron reductions. This has been performed with alkali metals, electrochemically and with bases. The corannulene dianion is antiaromatic and tetraanion is again aromatic. With lithium as reducing agent two tetraanions form a supramolecular dimer with two bowls stacked into each other with 4 lithium ions in between and 2 pairs above and below the stack. This self-assembly motif was applied in the organization of fullerenes. Penta-substituted fullerenes (with methyl or phenyl groups) charged with five electrons form supramolecular dimers with a complementary corannulene tetraanion bowl, 'stitched' by interstitial lithium cations. In a related system 5 lithium ions are sandwiched between two corannulene bowls

In one cyclopenta[bc]corannulene a concave - concave aggregate is observed by NMR spectroscopy with 2 C–Li–C bonds connecting the tetraanions.

 * [[Image:Cyclopenta-bc-corannulene.png|left|100px|Cyclopenta[bc]corannulene]]

Metals tend to bind to the convex face of the annulene. Concave binding has been reported for a cesium / crown ether system

Oxidation
UV 193-nm photoionization effectively removes a π-electron from the twofold degenerate E1-HOMO located in the aromatic network of electrons yielding a corannulene radical cation. Owing to the degeneracy in the HOMO orbital, the corannulene radical cation is unstable in its original C5v molecular arrangement, and therefore, subject to Jahn-Teller (JT) vibronic distortion.

Using electrospray ionization, a protonated corannulene cation has been produced in which the protonation site was observed to be on a peripheral sp2-carbon atom.

Reaction with electrophiles
Corannulene can react with electrophiles to form a corannulene carbocation. Reaction with chloromethane and aluminium chloride results in the formation of an AlCl4− salt with a methyl group situated at the center with the cationic center at the rim. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the new carbon-carbon bond is elongated (157 pm)

Bicorannulenyl
Bicorannulenyl is the product of dehydrogenative coupling of corannulene. With the formula C20H9-C20H9, it consists of two corannulene units connected through a single C-C bond. The molecule's stereochemistry consists of two chiral elements: the asymmetry of a singly substituted corannulenyl, and the helical twist about the central bond. In the neutral state, bicorannulenyl exists as 12 conformers, which interconvert through multiple bowl-inversions and bond-rotations. When bicorannulenyl is reduced to a dianion with potassium metal, the central bond assumes significant double-bond character. This change is attributed to the orbital structure, which has a LUMO orbital localized on the central bond. When bicorannulenyl is reduced to an with lithium metal, it self-assembles into supramolecular oligomers. This motif illustrates "charged polyarene stacking".

Research
The corannulene group is used in host–guest chemistry with interactions based on pi stacking, notably with fullerenes (the ) but also with nitrobenzene

Alkyl-substituted corannulenes form a thermotropic hexagonal columnar liquid crystalline mesophase. Corannulene has also been used as the core group in a dendrimer. Like other PAHs, corannulene ligates metals. Corannulenes with ethynyl groups are investigated for their potential use as blue emitters. The structure was analyzed by infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Talk:Show trial

Japan
The section for Japan talks about it's conviction rates and gives two examples of previous rulings, but nowhere does it mention how all of that is related to the article's main topic. Is it implying that high conviction rates are a result of every trial being of a predetermined outcome? I mean, it should be clearly mentioned what is that entails the high conviction rates. Is it the judges/judicial system's preconceptions or the forced confessions obtained by the police? If so, how does that make every trial a show trial?

Furthermore, the last paragraphs are taken directly from Criminal justice system of Japan, which makes it all the more obvious that there hasn't been a lot of work done to the section to justify their relevance to the main topic of the article. I'm torn between rewriting the whole thing or deleting it entirely, but I think there's potential for improvement, so it'd be greatly appreciated if any editor with more knowledge on the topic could make it clear about how show trials are somehow linked to the Japanese judicial system. I'll take another look in the future if I have time, but I think more examples of concrete trials would be necessary to keep the section relevant.

 * I deleted the section entirely per WP:NOR, as it seemed that a complete rewrite was necessary to make the section relevant to the topic of this article. The term "show trial" is mainly used in the context of political persecution, which is irrelevant to Japan's corrupt judicial system. 2602:FC24:13:1:E4F7:9065:0:1 (talk) 04:25, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Adolf Eichmann Trial
The article for the Adolf Eichmann trial states that the event was televised internationally and that this was for propaganda value. If a reliable source states that the Adolf Eichmann's guilt was presumed beforehand, shall we include his trial as an example of a show trial in the article's See Also? 72.24.227.225 (talk) 07:10, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Show trial vs. Kangaroo court
Some of the examples (and unfortunately reporters) confuse the terms "Show trial" vs. "kangaroo court". Both of them are in disregard of law an justice. However the principal difference is that show trials are trials widely publicized by the state with the purpose of influencing public opinion. Therefore in adding examples here it is insufficient to give a reference that some reporter or a pundit called it "show trial" but to make sure that it indeed matches the definition given in wikipedia, because many use buzzword cliches without much thinking. Therefore I deleted Russian and middle East sections. If you disagree, Please argue here. - Altenmann >talk 06:03, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

 * This information was removed with the following edit summary: "no evideence that censorsip law convictions are called "show trials"".

 * Reliable sources have described some public trials in Russia and the Middle East as "show trials". I am sure that the trials of Vladimir Kara-Murza and other critics of the Russian government were intended, among other things, to scare other potential critics and portray the accused as "traitors" and "fifth column", so it definitely influenced public opinion and behavior.

"On 4 March 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed into law a bill introducing prison sentences of up to 15 years for those who publish "knowingly false information" about the Russian armed forces and their operations. What is considered "false information" is decided by the Russian government. As of December 2022, more than 4,000 people were prosecuted under "fake news" laws in connection with the war in Ukraine. The UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Russian Federation, Mariana Katzarova, stated that "Show trials of prominent figures, such as Orlov, are aimed at instilling fear, deterring the public from participating in peaceful protests and preventing people from voicing dissent.""

"On 17 April 2023, Russian opposition politician Vladimir Kara-Murza was convicted on charges of treason and "spreading disinformation" about the Russian military, and sentenced to 25 years in prison. Kara-Murza's conviction is the longest sentence for political activity since the fall of the Soviet Union, and the length of the sentence is comparable only to Stalin's purges in the 1930s. Kara-Murza compared his case to show trials from the Stalin era."

"Judiciary in countries such as Bahrain, Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia is completely dependent on the wishes and wants of the governing regimes. During their show trials, Human rights activists and opposition figures are routinely given harsh verdicts in predetermined rulings by the kangaroo courts."

-- Tobby72 (talk) 21:51, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * As I explained already, journalists and other pundits tend to use strong words as attention-grabbers. We are encyclopedia and must write in articles according to the definition of the subject. For example, the quotation above says "Kara-Murza compared his case to show trials" -- "compared" is not the same as "is". - Altenmann >talk 22:24, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Current trials in Russia for allegedly "discrediting" the Russian armed forces or committing "treason" fit the definition of "show trials" quite well. The main difference between Vladimir Kara-Murza and Milada Horáková is that there is no death penalty in Russia yet, only extrajudicial killings by the state, but it is probably more advantageous for the regime to organize "show trials" with liberal, nonviolent opponents of the regime and present them before by the public as "traitors" and the "fifth column", instead of killing them in "accidents" like they killed Prigozhin. We both have a different opinion on the matter, but mine is supported by many reliable sources. I have not yet seen a reliable source saying that the trials of regime opponents in Russia, or in other non-democratic countries like Egypt, are not show trials. -- Tobby72 (talk) 12:46, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
 * It is insufficient to fit one condition of a definition. The key word in the phrase is "show", i.e., being widely publicized by the showmakers, i.e., by the government. In your case the trials are widely publicized by the opposition. As for our disagreement, we disagree with the meaning of "reliable sources" for the meaning of a term. If you provide sources that these trials were widely publicized by the government, then we agree. Second, you yourself wrote allegedly "discrediting" - which is a perfect match for the case of "kangaroo court": trupmed up accusations. - Altenmann >talk 17:55, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Azov trials
Greetings @Altenmann, I don't know if those Russia Azov trials are a show trials, a kangaroo, both, or none, but sources do call them How Russia Uses Show Trials to Punish Putin’s Enemies - The New York Times (nytimes.com) Mother of Azov Regiment POW, Tirelessly Seeks His Return From Russia (kyivpost.com) And it’s in no hurry to return Azov prisoners of war – instead “sentencing” them in show trials, for prison terms sometimes in the decades. Russia’s Mariupol Show Trials - WSJ Last week U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price denounced the Mariupol tribunals as “planned show trials” that are “illegitimate and a mockery of justice.” Russia Charges Ukrainian POWs with Attempting to Seize Power by Force for Opposing Russian Invasion - Diplomacy in Ireland - The European Diplomat (diplomacyireland.eu) ''The Ukrainian soldiers of the Azov and Aidar Battalions face life-in-prison if convicted. Observers say conviction is an almost certainty given the specious basis for the prosecution, calling the proceedings show trials.'' Russia’s Ukraine war propaganda persistence – Monash Lens Russia declared Azov a terrorist organization in September 2023, and is currently conducting illegal public show trials of two dozen Azov captives, nearly 40% of whom are women, who are likely to be subjected to torture and long prison sentences. Sources call "Kangaroo courts" different trials, those where foreign POWs were tried: Huge mass ‘sentences’ after fake trial of Ukrainian POWs whom Russia accused of its own war crimes (khpg.org) If Russia had any grounds for accusing Ukrainians of its own most egregious crimes, it would not be hiding the POWs and holding effectively secret ‘trials’ in kangaroo courts on occupied territory ManyAreasExpert (talk) 19:28, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

 * I see. Newspapers can use epithets for more hype, and such claims must be attributed. Since there are several such sources, I self-reverted. Please add the sentence, something like, "Observers call these prosecutions show trials" and add the above sources as references, because we cannot call them "show trials" in Wikipedia voice. - Altenmann >talk 20:34, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you. It will be re-evaluated in a future by more academic sources and wiki-editors will clarify it then. ManyAreasExpert (talk) 21:04, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Helen Kleeb

Helen Kleeb (January 6, 1907 – December 28, 2003) was an American film and television actress. In a career covering nearly 50 years, she may be best known for her role from 1972 to 1981 as Miss Mamie Baldwin on the family drama The Waltons.

Early life and career
Kleeb began acting on stage in Portland, Oregon, late in the 1920s, where she attended the Ellison-White Conservatory of Music. She also gained her first radio experience in Portland.

From 1949 to 1951, she performed voices for the radio program Candy Matson. In 1956–1957, Kleeb guest-starred on Hey, Jeannie!, starring Jeannie Carson. In the 1960–1961 television season, Kleeb appeared as Miss Claridge, a legal secretary, on the sitcom Harrigan and Son.

She appeared in episodes of Dennis the Menace, I Love Lucy, Pete and Gladys, Hennesey, Death Valley Days, Get Smart, The Andy Griffith Show, Green Acres, Bewitched, Gunsmoke (as “Mrs. Randolph” in S1E38’s “Unknown Grave” - 1956), Little House: A New Beginning, Highway to Heaven, Room 222, and The Golden Girls as well as in small film roles in The Manchurian Candidate, and Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte. She also appeared in a number of episodes of The Waltons, as well as Dragnet, starring Jack Webb, during the 1950s. Kleeb also appeared on many radio drama shows, some now playing on XM Satellite Radio.

Personal life
Kleeb's first marriage and the birth of a son, Tom Pendergast, caused a hiatus in her career. After her first husband's death in 1950, she taught drama at a college before she returned to acting. She is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery, Culver City.

Physics Article WIP proposal
Hello, as an editor who has previously added to the Physics article and taken part in discussions on its talk page I thought a current proposal may be of interest to you. Over the past few months the article has suffered from a lack of focus and direction. Unfortunately the article is now judged by a number of editors to be in a relatively poor state. There is currently a proposal to start a full consensus based review of the article. That review and consensus process has been proposed here, your thoughts on the proposal and participation in the WIP review of the article would be much appreciated. It disappoints me that an article on one of the fundamental sciences here at wikipedia is in such a relatively poor state, and I hope you can have a browse by the page to offer your views and hopefully participate.

Censorship
Later releases of iGeneration had lyrics censored ("We hit the net when the Trade Centre fell/We laughed out loud and ran like hell" became "We hit the net when the Trade Centre fell/New York met Hollywood, we ran like hell"); this indicates some sort of controversy. Unfortunately, I can't seem to dig up any reliable sources, or, for that matter, even find unreliable sources like forum posts that may indicate what caused Lars to censor the lyrics. If anyone can shed any light on this and point us towards sources, it would most certainly be valuable information to have in the article (and possibly warrant iGeneration getting its own article). 175.38.210.252 (talk) 06:02, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

RE: Public domain

 * I came to this page hoping to find an explicit statement correcting a common misconception that public domain means anything that's freely available in the public — i.e., posted on the Internet. While the existing text is useful and necessary as an encyclopedia entry, I would like to see a concise statement in this article that makes it clear that this is not true, in order to educate ordinary people with Internet-time attention spans. Any suggestions on how to do this within the existing text? -- Jeff Q 04:30, 23 May 2004 (UTC)

That's a common misconception?? The internet was not widely known to the lay public until the early '90s! Obviously people talked about the public domain, by that name, before that time. What did people laboring under that misconception think it meant then? Michael Hardy 23:30, 25 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Indeed, the current common misconception that "Internet-posted" means "public domain" is obviously relatively new. I'm sure there are many other misconceptions that are much older and continue to this day. However, the ability for anyone with access to an Internet-connected computer to confuse this issue is, in my opinion, a much greater threat that older ones that involved hardcopy publishing and analog media copying.

 * Usually I am bold about adding text that I request, but I paused on this one because this article clearly discusses the overall legal issues of public domain and copyrights. Michael Hardy has a valid concern about the larger view, and it wasn't immediately clear to me how and where to add such a concise statement without interrupting the flow. I'll ponder some more and give it a try shortly. -- Jeff Q 11:37, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

listdev

 * I saw that you removed the tag from List of songs whose title includes personal names. I had added that tag because it is clearly not a complete list, but of course it never will be complete. Is that why you did so? You appear to have vastly more experience on Wikipedia, so I would appreciate your specific opinion on the use of this tag, especially since I contribute to a dozen or so such lists (having created half of them myself) and want to keep in line with good Wiki practices. Thank you. — Jeff Q 04:42, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, the reason I deleted it is because EVERY article on Wikipedia is pretty much unfinished. There's really nothing complete on the entire encyclopedia. In fact, that gives me an idea -- I'm going to list the listdev template for deletion. RickK 04:44, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)

 * Got your reply about Wikipedia's essential unfinishedness and the consequent pointlessness of . For the most part, I agree, but I would point out that there are some lists that are sufficiently small that they could be completed; e.g., web-safe colors and area codes in the North American Numbering Plan. I don't know how many of these kinds of lists exist in Wikipedia, and some of them may not stay complete over time, but it seems the tag may have some utility. Perhaps it would be better to add some usage guidelines for it. — Jeff Q 04:59, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I've listed it on the Votes for deletion page. If you think it should be kept, you might go there and list (heh) your arguments for keeping it. RickK 05:02, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)

List of fictional music groups
Hey, Jeff, your recent addition to List of fictional music groups has incorporated several non-viewable special characters. Can you fix that? RickK 23:10, Aug 21, 2004 (UTC)

 * I pasted a replacement for the TOC into the top of the article, but somehow the first two sections of entries got some (but not all) of their hyphens and apostrophes replaced with question marks (which only made it look like they were special characters). I don't know what could have happened. I used the standard Wiki edit window to do the paste. If I had somehow pasted over the relevant text, that wouldn't have replaced only certain characters. Oh, well. Whatever happened, I've fixed it. — Jeff Q 01:24, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Manual of Style apostrophe changes

 * Maurreen, I'm curious why you changed several occurrences of "straight" apostrophes to the so-called "curved" version in someone else's Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style postings (but not globally across the page), perhaps ironically in defiance the Manual of Style itself (8.1.1, Use straight quotation marks and apostrophes). I can't quite see the purpose of it. — Jeff Q 23:47, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

You say I changed apostrophes or quote marks in other people's postings. I plead ignorance. The only thing I can think of is that sometimes I write in Word and copy stuff back and forth and don't often notice the apostrophe or quote style. Maurreen 04:55, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm talking about your edit at 00:06, 9 Nov 2004, the first of five consecutive edits you made on that page. It seemed unusual also because you had taken care to add summaries to each of the other four edits. Perhaps it was an accidental premature save? (I'm afraid I do this on occasion myself.) If so, I can switch the apostrophes back, unless you or someone else beats me to it. — Jeff Q 05:08, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Capitalisation in songs

 * Thank you for being the only person (so far) to register opinions on my proposed changes to List of songs whose title includes geographical names. Seeing as how you have two perspectives that I don't have on the issue of capitalization in song titles (i.e., coming from a British background and performing in real bands), I'd like to get more information on your statement that full capitalization "isn't song industry practice - at least not in publishing". As suggested (at least partly) in the cited discussion Talk:List of songs whose title includes personal names, my information comes from my huge music library (i.e., album covers and liner notes on released recordings) and online (e.g., AMG) and library (e.g., Library of Congress) research on songs, all from American sources. Are things different in the Commonwealth? Are you referring specifically to publishing of catalogs or indices of songs, or is there more to it? I'm not wedded to the idea of full-capitalization, and expect not to perform that particular surgery on the list based on your statement, but I'd like to take advantage of your different perspective to learn more about this subject. Thanks again. — Jeff Q 07:20, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi Jeff,

My experience comes from working in bands too, and from registering songs with APRA (Australasian Performing Rights Association). They ask songwriters to only capitalise the first word of songs and any proper nouns, or to use capitals only. I haven't thought to check my whole album collection (it would take a while - 2000 CDs), but the handful I looked at at random seem to have no set pattern. The other thing is that I'm almost certain that we're supposed to use APA guidelines in Wikipedia with references, and they clearly stipulate only capitalising the first word and any proper nouns. I'd have thought it would make sense to do the same with songs. 09:46, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the quick reply on your experiences. (Your CD collection is about 30% larger than mine.) You said you noticed no pattern, but is there perhaps the same pattern I've seen in American CDs (that I mention in the above "Capitalization" link) — that most CDs practice one of three patterns, none of which follow APA guidelines: all uppercase, all lowercase, or all capitalized? There are certainly exceptions to that pattern set, as I also noted in the cited discussion, but this seems like solid practice on album printing, at least in the U.S.

 * Also, can you recall where Wikipedia says anything about using APA guidelines? I haven't found anything from my initial searching. From what I've seen, Wikipedia has no policy on song titles, only an inferred one from Naming conventions, which follows the more cumbersome and poorly understood "Capitalize everything except articles, prepositions, and conjunctions" rule, which has many uncited exceptions. (That's precisely why I advocate full capitalization, which is the closest thing to industry practice that people are likely to do correctly.) At the very least, policy seems to favor non-APA capitalization for artistic work titles in everything except possibly classical music, whose policy has an entire article to itself.

 * I had no idea that you were referring to the American Psychological Association until I'd tracked down the APA style article, which suggests a scholarly bent not necessarily shared by Wikipedia and, as far as I've seen, not cited as a Wikipedia source for style information. I do notice that this appears to be the style used for Wikipedia article titles, although I found no explanation of where that came from. It also appears to be what American libraries use in creating indices of titles, not only for songs but for any indexed material. (Thanks for letting me know what to call that!)

 * If you get a chance, could you let me know (A) if your CD collection shows the same patterns as mine does, and (B) if you know where the APA style is cited in Wikipedia style guidelines. (Oh, and sorry about the rude American spelling of "capitalization" in this section title. I'm delighted that I now have the British version in the one on my page. ☺) Thanks again! — Jeff Q 11:16, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * All upper, all lower, random letter in upper case, all first letters capitalised, or only first letter of song title capitalised. The first example I found of the last type was the songs on the album Now that?s what I call quite good, by the Housemartins, an English band. It does look like there are a few more cases with all words with first letter capitalised though.

 * As to APA style, good question. I?m sure I read it somewhere in here, but maybe it was my imagination - the only place I?ve turned it up tonight while trying to find where I saw it was as a general comment in Cite sources. And the American spelling? :) No problem - sorry for the ?correction?! We use Brit spelling for most things here in New Zealand, but accept American spellings a little.

The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Sources for John Cleland (racing driver)
Hello, good work on John Cleland (racing driver), and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not provide any references or sources in the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. Can you list in the article any websites, books, or other sources that will allow people to verify the content in John Cleland (racing driver)? You can simply add links, preferably as the inline citations, or see citation templates for different citation methods. Thanks! best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 03:43, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 1% for major edits and 3% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 74 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 21:00, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Radisich
Yes, Paul Radisich in Croatian would be spelt Radisić. The letter ć in Croatian sounds like ch...hence people add the h to get people to say it correct. Otherwise people would say RadisiCK. Adding the h is common all over the world by Croatian Immigrants but in saying that almost 60% don't add the h.

It was also popular for names to be Anglosized, Italianized ..something like Ivankovich became Evans etc...Pilic became Polo etc... The most popular non Croat sounding last name is Abbott. Dates back to gold rush days.

Courtesy warning
As author of the below article you should be made aware:

I've added the "prod" template to the article Snooker (rule), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Snooker (rule). If you remove the dated prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Sourcing
I and I'm sure many others appreciate the amount of sourcing of obscure facts that you do, but to be honest you are effectively also creating a lot of unnecessary work for other editors by not doing it properly. Please use: instead of: It would be immensely helpful.

Sen. Jesse Helms
Thanks for trying to fix the Moseley-Braun / Allen bit in the "controversies" section, but your fixed version is also incorrect. Claude Allen had moved on long before she became a senator. Also, "Dixie" is not a "song about the good life during slavery." There is nothing in the song about slavery. (Note: I'm talking about the original version, not Tom Lehrer's parody.) NCdave (talk) 20:25, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Jesse Helms: examples of Bigotry
1.Helms opposed the Martin Luther King holiday bill in 1983 2.After a protest during his 1986 visit to Mexico, Sen. Helms was quoted: "All Latins are volatile people": end quote

and lastly, i write in disgust!

3.As an aide to the 1950 Senate campaign of North Carolina Republican candidate Willis Smith, Sen. Helms helped create attack ads against Smith's opponent Frank Graham, including one which read: "White people, wake up before it is too late. Do you want Negroes working beside you, your wife and your daughters, in your mills and factories? Frank Graham favors mingling of the races." :end quote

MartinUK,

Those three "examples" alone warrant the label of a Bigot.

Alvin A. Harris

Jesse Helms examples of bigotry pt.2
1.In columns, commentaries and pronouncements from the Senate floor, Helms sowed hatred and called names: The University of North Carolina was "the University of Negroes and Communists." (Capital Times, 11/22/94) Black civil rights activists were "Communists and sex perverts." (Copley News Service, 8/23/01)

2.Of civil rights protests Helms wrote, "The Negro cannot count forever on the kind of restraint that's thus far left him free to clog the streets, disrupt traffic, and interfere with other men's rights." (WRAL-TV commentary, 1963)

3.He also wrote, "Crime rates and irresponsibility among Negroes are a fact of life which must be faced." (New York Times, 2/8/81)

4.when a caller to CNN's Larry King Live show praised guest Jesse Helms for "everything you've done to help keep down the niggers," Helms' response was to salute the camera and say, "Well, thank you, I think." (Wilmington Star-News, 9/16/95)

MartinUK,

Would you like more examples? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.232.153.118 (talk) 21:58, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

 * MartinUK, just so you know, Alvin (a/k/a 144.232.153.118 or G RANDEXTRAV ) is citing "facts" that are really just unproven anecdotes, spread by Sen. Helms' political enemies. If there were provable examples of bigotry on his part, then Jim Hunt and Harvey Gantt would surely have used them against him during their multi-million dollar campaigns to capture his Senate seat.  They didn't because they could find no such examples.

 * "Columns, commentaries and pronouncements from the Senate floor" are all very public forms of expression, which in most cases create lasting paper trails. So if Helms had actually "sowed hatred and called names" by calling UNC "the University of Negroes and Communists" in such forums, as Alvin evidently believes, there should be records to prove it.  But there aren't.  If there were, then Helms' opponents would have used them against him, during their Senate campaigns.

 * Unfortunately, Alvin seems to accept as fact any accusation against Helms that he reads, without bothering to see even whether it is plausible. Consider, for example, this "fact" that Alvin cites: "As an aide to the 1950 Senate campaign of North Carolina Republican candidate Willis Smith... Helms..."  It is obviously nonsense, in part because in 1950 Jesse Helms was a 28 year old Democrat .  NCdave (talk) 09:10, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Simon Andrews (motorcycle racer), British motorcycle racer
A tag has been placed on Simon Andrews (motorcycle racer), British motorcycle racer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

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

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JohnCD (talk) 17:46, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, maybe he does qualify for "the highest level in amateur sports" per WP:BIO. I have removed my db tag. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:55, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't call motorcycle racing an amateur sport - although many competitors pay for the rides themselves or through personal sponsors, most of the top guys are paid (fairly big money in some cases) by teams linked to motorcycle manufacturers.--MartinUK (talk) 18:02, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the alternative in WP:BIO is "fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing" - I guess the lines aren't so clear in motorcycle racing, Whatever, he makes it. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:51, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

F1 race reports
Hi MartinUK. Thanks for the great work you are doing converting the information in the "Notes" sections of F1 race reports into proper paragraphs. One little tip for you: an easy way to ensure the race classification table appears below the infobox and race report, rather than inserting a whole bunch of carriage returns, is to insert a "clear" code " " above the table - see this example. Also, if the fastest lap information is included in the infobox, feel free to remove it from the "Notes" section. But apart from that: keep up the good work! Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 02:39, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

"Comfort zone"
The onus is on those addingn information to provide references - I added the fact tag to alert you to this, rather than simply deleting the unsourced statement. Please assume good faith.

Barack Obama's ancestry
I just wanted to give you a heads-up that the specifics of Obama's ancestry is already in the body of the article. In fact, it's in the very next section after the intro, so it's kind of redundant to put it in the intro as well. -- Good Damon 22:59, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Having only African American in the lead sentence is not neutral in any shape or form, it is an extreme bias. Reliable sources can be found in great number for both bi-racial and African American. WP:NPOV is a core policy and prohibits this type of POV placement in articles. Landon1980 (talk) 02:08, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd agree with Landon here, especially due to the specifics of Obama's life (his father's limited involvement, his Indonesian stepfather, his deliberate adoption of a black identity in his 20s after struggling with his identity to the point of attributing his past cocaine use to it). The Lewis Hamilton article reached a consensus in which a single sentance mentions both 'first African-American president' and 'white mother/black father'.--MartinUK (talk) 02:12, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes, because calling an individual the same thing he calls himself is such a disgusting POV ... right.  Grsz  11   →Review!  02:17, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The point of view of the subject of an article is still a point of view. We don't allow people to edit their own articles, so why should their opinions of themselves take precedence?--MartinUK (talk) 02:19, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, then we use what reliable sources say...African American.  Grsz  11   →Review!  02:23, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * So why not use the many sources which expand on this? Calling him 'African American' is like calling a tuna mayonnaise sandwich a bread product, it's only half the story.--MartinUK (talk) 02:26, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * And it is in the very next section, where it is better served to go into that depth.  Grsz  11   →Review!  02:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * 'White mother' is not 'depth'. The list of his pre-president policies in the intro is much longer and contains less crucial info--MartinUK (talk) 02:30, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * None of the suggested terms are indepth at all. Why all of you keep talking about what Obama refers to himself as is beyond me. BLP mentions no such thing as adhering to what the person wants. You wouldn't call a tuna sandwich tuna in the very first sentence, then go on in the body to explain it is between two slices of bread. What is so hard to understand about a simple fact of NPOV? Reliable sources describe him as both, and picking one of them is POV and it is really that simple. This will lead to an RFC, the editor above is proof that all most editors are concerned about is what they think Obama would want. Landon1980 (talk) 04:13, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * By all means, open an RfC instead of dragging on discussions that are way past consensus.  Grsz  11   →Review!  04:41, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * And don't put words in my mouth, as you've grown accustom to doing. I never said "what Obama would want".  Grsz  11   →Review!  04:43, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * You repeatedly bring up that he "self identifies as African American" you list that as one of your reasons why the lead should be as is. Why do you do and say things if you will not admit to doing them? Even if not word for word you have more than implied it. Landon1980 (talk) 04:54, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Abdul Aziz Binladin
Just in case you weren't already aware, Abdul Aziz Binladin is a relation of Osama and there are several spellings because the official spelling is in Arabic and as such is translated phonetically. Readro (talk) 17:48, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

John Hopkins (motorcycle racer)
This is a courtesy message. I have opened a discussion at Talk:John Hopkins (motorcycle racer) regarding the pre-existing prose from 2005 and your addition of a citation in late 2014. This is not a criticism of your actions as I realise your addition was in Good Faith, but the citation does not support some of the content. Thanks.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 21:19, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Mary Jackson (actress)

Mary Jackson (November 22, 1910 – December 10, 2005) was an American character actress whose nearly fifty-year career began in 1950 and was spent almost entirely in television. She is best known for the role of the lovelorn Emily Baldwin in The Waltons and was the original choice to play Alice Horton in the daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives, playing the part in the unaired pilot. The role was instead given to Frances Reid.

Biography
Jackson was born in the village of Milford, Michigan on November 22, 1910. She graduated from Western Michigan University with a bachelor's degree 1932. She worked for one year as a schoolteacher during the Great Depression before pursuing her interest in theatre.

She returned to college, enrolling in Michigan State University's fine arts program and subsequently beginning her performing career in summer stock theatre in Chicago. She embarked on a television career in New York City in the 1950s, during the first Golden Age of Television, before beginning work in Hollywood in the 1960s.

Jackson appeared on Broadway in such hits as “Kiss and Tell” and “Eastward in Eden,” was standby for Wendy Hiller in “Flowering Cherry” on Broadway, playing the role twice. She toured nationally in “Apple of His Eye” with Edward Arnold, and in “The Heiress” with Basil Rathbone. Jackson was a member of the Chicago company of Tennessee Williams' “Garden District” and also toured with the play; was featured with Shirley Booth in Chicago in “The Desk Set.” (Jackson would later be a guest star on Booth's TV show, Hazel.) Her many stock engagements included the Ann Arbor Spring Festival, Bucks County Playhouse, Ogunquit Playhouse, Alley Theatre in Houston. For the 1962 and 1963 Summer stock seasons she performed at the Elitch Theatre.

Always close to her Michigan roots, Jackson was a charter member of the Milford Historical Society. In 1988, Jackson was instrumental in raising money to rebuild the Oak Grove Cemetery Bridge over the Huron River - a bridge that connects her hometown of Milford to its oldest burial grounds. Jackson was buried there following her death from Parkinson's disease in Los Angeles, two and a half weeks after her 95th birthday. She was survived by her husband of 68 years, Griffin Bancroft Jr., to whom she was married since July 4, 1937.
