Exit list clean up
It may just be me, but I don't see how the exit list included in this article needs to be cleaned up. Could whom ever marked this article with the exit list clean-up tag please explain what needs to be done? CascadiaTALK | HISTORY 14:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I didn't flag the page, but the list does need cleanup. In many cases the destinations listed do not match the primary guide signs for the listed exit, and some information (e.g. "Finley Flats Rd") is just plain wrong. When I get time (it could be a while), I'll get out the I-17 signing plans & revise the list on the article page to match the "official" primary destinations. RCMoeur 05:14, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Incorrect Flagstaff Terminus
The picture labeled as the northern terminus is the interchange with Interstate 40, however I-17 continues a quarter-mile past the interchange before dumping on Milton road after the NAU McConnell Dr. exit 134.114.223.242 (talk) 23:43, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Nope. I-17 ends at the interchange with I-40, just south of the McConnell Dr. exit. Anyone who says otherwise is misreading the ArcGIS map. The only reason the map shows I-17 going north of I-40 is because there are ramps to and from I-40 that are positioned north of the actual I-40 carriageway. But I-40 is the actual northern terminus.

I17 & the Apache Trail.
The article claims the I17 was formed from part of the Apache Trail. It was not. The Apache Trail is a good ways east of any part of the I17. 2600:8800:0:179:5970:6339:8C23:B224 (talk) 20:07, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Agreed. Whoever wrote "The I-17 corridor roughly follows the Apache Trail, a trail that traversed the Superstition Mountains" misinterpreted the ADOT blog post they cited.
 * The ADOT article states "the path from Black Canyon [...] had as many twists and turns as the Apache Trail." It is simply comparing the geometry of the two separate highways to one another. It does not say the Apache Trail route became the I-17 route. The Apache Trail is Arizona SR-88, and a completely separate corridor from I-17. 24.251.216.120 (talk) 23:57, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:California Jam

This article has so many problems - I have to change it
First off it's not objective. Clearly a deep purple nut came in and wrote this. How could deep purple be the best selling group since '72? That's ambiguous language. if you want to say they sold more units in '73 than anyone else, you may be right, but find the evidence first.

Also there is no such thing as a virtuoso performance. A virtuoso is a person.

the person who wrote in the ELP set list is not thinking. That's just what was released on DVD.

Also Emerson wasn't playing karn evil 9 or anything while the piano was spinning. A piano can't function upside down. I believe a tape played.

I had written much of this article in an objective fashion that was more informative about ELP's and Deep Purple's performances before this. I am going to revise it again. This is written like a diary entry: "Now not to mention ELP." It is subjective and ambiguous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alsamar3 (talk • contribs) 21:34, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Agreed on the Deep Purple issue. This article really isn't about California Jam; it's about Deep Purple. 76.174.152.175 (talk) 19:12, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

"California Jam" or "Cal Jam"?
I have always heard this concert referred to as "Cal Jam" -- never "California Jam". That's how it's referred to, for example, in Edward Macan, Endless Enigma: A Musical Biography of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, pages 330-33, 560, 615, 616, and 644. And the great Los Angeles D.J., Jim Ladd, refers to the concerts as "Cal Jam" and "Cal Jam II" -- never as "California Jam" -- in his book Radio Waves: Life and Revolution on the FM Dial (pages 226, 227, 228, 230, 231, 232, 263).

On the other hand, Marley Brant, Join Together: Forty Years of the Rock Music Festival has a chapter entitled "California Jam II" (but no chapter on the first C.J.) -- but the people he interviews often call it "Cal Jam" and "Cal Jam II" (e.g., p. 143).

Can anyone verify what the official name of this concert was? Can anyone verify what name was used in the marketing and advertising? Can anyone verify what name the fans and attendees used when talking about the concert (before and after the event)? — Lawrence King ( talk ) 20:18, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

It's been a couple weeks, and no responses. Any objections to moving this page to "Cal Jam", and mentioning both names in the introductory sentence? — Lawrence King ( talk ) 02:51, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

 * The event was originally promoted as "California Jam" - "Cal Jam" may be a nickname it picked up in some circles, but the current article title is the correct one. See | the original promotional announcement from the LA Times, the | original poster, the title card from the broadcast, etc. etc.  Jgm (talk) 18:55, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Okay. I kept the page where it was, and added "Cal Jam" as an alternate name at the top.  Based on my research, it seems that within California, it was always called "Cal Jam" when speaking of it (thus Jim Ladd's book uses that term exclusively), but the further you get from California the less often the name was abbreviated.  In any event, as you point out, the official name was "California Jam". — Lawrence King ( talk ) 23:54, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Amplifer explosion

I worked on the video footage for the BBC Video release and the band's manager, Tony Edwards (lovely man) told me that the speaker cabinet was filled with petrol fumes and rigged to 'explode'. So I think that story is true.

Delverie (talk) 19:27, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Yes, DP fan publications such as "Darker Than Blue" have told this story many times. The gasoline was planned, however, the size of the explosion was bigger than expected!

Minim (palaeography)

In palaeography, a minim is a short, vertical stroke used in handwriting. The word is derived from the Latin minimum, meaning least or smallest.

A minim is the basic stroke for the letters i, m, n, and u in uncial script and later scripts deriving from it. Parts of other letters are based on minims as well: when a minim is extended above the line, it becomes an ascender, as in the letters d and b, and when it is extended below the line, it becomes a descender, as in the letters p and q. It is a stem when it forms only part of a letter, such as r.

Minims often have a connecting stroke which makes it clear that they form an m, n, etc.; however, in Gothic scripts, also known as textualis especially in late examples, minims may connect to each other with only a hair line stroke making it difficult for modern readers to tell what letter is meant. A 13th-century example of this is: mimi numinum niuium minimi munium nimium uini muniminum imminui uiui minimum uolunt ("the smallest mimes of the gods of snow do not wish at all in their life that the great duty of the defences of the wine be diminished"). In Gothic script this would look almost like a series of single strokes (this problem eventually led to a dotted $⟨i⟩$ and separate letters $⟨j⟩$ and $⟨v⟩$).

Middle English scribes adopted a practice of replacing $⟨u⟩$ before $⟨m⟩$, $⟨n⟩$, or $⟨v⟩$ with $⟨o⟩$ in order to break up the sequence of minims. The resulting spellings have persisted into modern times in words such as come, honey, and love, where an o stands for a short ŭ. This is the reason Richard Coates gave, in his 1998 article, for 'LOndon' changing its spelling from LUnden.

Gothic minims may have various decorations (essentially serifs), from a simple initial headstroke, to large diamond-shaped finials at the top and bottom, such as in textualis quadrata, the most decorated form of Gothic. Textualis sine pedibus, literally "textualis without feet", has minims with no finials at all, while textualis rotunda has round finials.

Robert Lewis Dabney

Robert Lewis Dabney (March 5, 1820 – January 3, 1898) was a Southern Presbyterian pastor and theologian, Confederate army chaplain, and architect from Virginia. He was also chief of staff and biographer to Stonewall Jackson; his biography of Jackson remains in print today.

Dabney and James Henley Thornwell were two of Southern Presbyterianism's most influential scholars. They were both Calvinist, Old School Presbyterians, and social conservatives. Some conservative Presbyterians, particularly within the Presbyterian Church in America and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, still value their theological writings, although some within these churches have repudiated Dabney's and Thornwell's beliefs in support of white supremacy and antebellum slavery.

Early life
Robert Lewis Dabney was born on March 5, 1820. He was the sixth child (third son) of Charles William Dabney (1786–1833) and Elizabeth Randolph Price Dabney, and a descendant of Cornelius Dabney, who settled in Virginia in the 17th century. His brother, Charles William Dabney (1809–1895) was the captain of Company C, 15th Virginia Infantry Regiment.

Dabney graduated from Hampden-Sydney College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1837, and received a master's degree from the University of Virginia in 1842. He graduated from Union Theological Seminary in 1846.

Career
Dabney served as a missionary in Louisa County, Virginia, from 1846 to 1847 and pastor at Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church from 1847 to 1853, being also head master of a classical school for a portion of this time. He is considered a distinguished son of Providence Presbyterian Church. It was at Tinkling Spring that he met Margaret Lavinia Morrison. They were married on March 28, 1848. They had six sons together, three of whom died in childhood from diphtheria (two in 1855, the other in 1862). From 1853 to 1859, he was professor of ecclesiastical history and polity and from 1859 to 1869 adjunct professor of systematic theology in Virginia's Union Theological Seminary, where he later became full professor of systematics.

Dabney – whose wife was a third cousin to Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's wife – participated in the American Civil War on the Confederate side. During the summer of 1861 he was chaplain of the 18th Virginia Infantry, and in the following year was invited by Jackson to be his chief of staff; he served with Jackson during the Valley Campaign and the Seven Days Battles.

In 1867, he published A Defense of Virginia, and Through Her, of the South, in Recent and Pending Contests Against the Sectional Party, an apologia for slavery.

In 1868, he delivered "Ecclesiastical Relation of Negroes", a speech advocating for white supremacy in the church.

In 1883, he was appointed professor of mental and moral philosophy in the University of Texas.

By 1894, failing health compelled him to retire from active life, although he still lectured occasionally. He was co-pastor, with his brother-in-law B. M. Smith, of the Hampden-Sydney College Church 1858 to 1874, also serving Hampden-Sydney College in a professorial capacity on occasions of vacancies in its faculty.

Architecture
Dabney's designs for the Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church and for two other churches in Virginia are credited with influencing church architecture in Virginia. Three works associated with Dabney are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places: Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church;  Briery Church, in Briery, Virginia; and New Providence Presbyterian Church, near Brownsburg, Virginia.

Death
Dabney died on January 3, 1898, due to complications from an acute illness.

Anatoly Kuznetsov

Anatoly Vasilievich Kuznetsov (Анато́лий Васи́льевич Кузнецо́в; 18 August 1929, Kiev, USSR – 13 June 1979, London) was a Russian-language Soviet writer who described his experiences in German-occupied Kiev during World War II in his internationally acclaimed novel Babi Yar: A Document in the Form of a Novel. The book was originally published in a censored form in 1966 in the Russian language.

Career in the USSR
Kuznetsov was born to a Russian father and a Ukrainian mother, his passport stated that he was Russian. He grew up in the Kiev district of Kurenivka, in his own words "a stone's throw from a vast ravine, whose name, Babi Yar, was once known only to locals." At the age fourteen, Kuznetsov began recording in a notebook everything he saw as a witness and heard about the Babi Yar massacre. Once his mother discovered and read his notes. She cried and advised him to save them for a book he might write someday.

Before becoming a writer, Kuznetsov experimented with ballet, acting, art, and music, found employment as a carpenter and labourer, and worked on the Kakhovka, Irkutsk, and Bratsk hydroelectric power plants. In 1955, he joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Eventually, he began "studying to become a writer" and enrolled at the Maxim Gorky Literature Institute.

In 1957, literary magazine Yunost featured his novella entitled Sequel to a Legend. Kuznetsov described his first experience with publishers as follows:

"I wrote the novella 'Sequel to a Legend' and offered it to Yunost magazine. It tells the story of a young man, who came to work in Siberia with a solid youthful belief in something better, in some ultimate good, despite all the hardships and poverty. The Yunost editors liked the novella very much but said they couldn't publish it: the censors wouldn't allow it, the magazine would be closed, and I would be arrested or, in the worst case, barred from literature for life. Above all, Western propagandists might pick up this story and run with it: 'See, this is proof of how terrible life in the Soviet Union really is!' Experienced writers told me that the novella could be saved, that at least a part of it must be brought to the readers' attention, that they would know what came from the heart and what I had to write for form's sake, and that I should add some optimistic episodes. For a long time my novella gathered dust without any hope of being published, but eventually I forced myself to add some optimistic episodes, which contrasted so sharply with the overall style and were so outrageously cheerful that no reader would take them seriously."

The novella was turned down, but eventually was published in a heavily censored form and without the author's approval. It was this version that earned him a countrywide fame. He graduated in 1960 and was admitted to the USSR Union of Writers and, by extension, to the State Literary Fund. In the 1960s he became famous as one of the country's most talented and progressive writers, the father of the genre of confessional prose.

He married Iryna Marchenko and was preparing to become a father. Soon he and his pregnant wife moved to Tula.

The novel Babi Yar, published in Yunost in 1966, cemented Anatoly Kuznetsov's fame. The novel included the previously unknown materials about the execution of 33,771 Jews in the course of two days, 29–30 September 1941, in the Kiev ravine Babi Yar. The uncensored work included materials highly critical of the Soviet regime. Working on it was not easy. Kuznetsov recalled: "For a whole month in Kiev I had nightmares, which wore me out so much that I had to leave without finishing my work and temporarily switch to other tasks in order to regain my senses." In a letter to the Israeli journalist, writer, and translator Shlomo Even-Shoshan dated 17 May 1965, Kuznetsov commented on the Babi Yar tragedy:

"Before September 29, 1941, Jews were slowly being murdered in camps behind a veneer of legitimacy. Treblinka, Auschwitz, etc. came later. Since Babyn Yar murder became commonplace. I trust you know how they did this. They published an order for all the Jews in the city to gather in the vicinity of the freight yard with their belongings and valuables. Then they surrounded them and began shooting them. Countless Russians, Ukrainians, and other people, who had come to see their relatives and friends 'off to the train,' died in the swarm. They didn't shoot children but buried them alive, and didn't finish off the wounded. The fresh earth over the mass graves was alive with movement. In the two years that followed, Russians, Ukrainians, Gypsies, and people of all nationalities were executed in Babyn Yar. The belief that Babyn Yar is an exclusively Jewish grave is wrong, and Yevtushenko portrayed only one aspect of Babyn Yar in his poem. It is an international grave. Nobody will ever determine how many and what nationalities are buried there, because 90% of the corpses were burned, their ashes scattered in ravines and fields."

A shortened version of the novel was republished in 1967 in Russian by Molodaya Gvardiya publishing house in shortened form without the author's permission.

After defection
Soon after the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, 20–21 August 1968, Kuznetsov defected from the USSR to the United Kingdom. His pretext for travelling abroad was to do research for his new book on Lenin's stay in Britain. He managed to smuggle 35-mm photographic film containing the uncensored manuscript.

He arrived in London on a two-week visa, accompanied by Georgy Andjaparidze, a suspected KGB mamka, a secret police agent. Kuznetsov managed to trick Andjaparidze by saying he wanted to find a prostitute and instead ran for the nearest British government office. There he was connected over the phone with David Floyd, a Russian-speaking journalist and The Daily Telegraph Soviet expert. Risking being caught, Kuznetsov returned to the hotel to pick up his manuscripts, his favourite typewriter and Cuban cigars.

Home Secretary James Callaghan and Prime Minister Harold Wilson decided to grant Kuznetsov an unlimited residence visa in the UK. Shortly after the public announcement of the British decision, Soviet Ambassador Mikhail Smirnovsky demanded the author's return, but Callaghan refused. Two days later, Smirnovsky called on Foreign Secretary Michael Stewart and asked that Soviet diplomats be allowed to see Kuznetsov, but Kuznetsov refused to meet with his countrymen. Instead, he wrote a declaration of his reasons for leaving and three letters: one to the Soviet government, another to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and a third to the USSR Union of Writers.

The Sunday Telegraph published David Floyd's interview with Kuznetsov, who spoke about his ties with the KGB, how he was recruited, and how he had formally agreed to cooperate in order to be allowed to leave abroad.

Babi Yar was published in the US in 1970 under pseudonym A. Anatoli. In that edition, the censored Soviet version was put in regular type, the content cut by censors in heavier type and newly added material was in brackets. In the foreword to the edition by the Russian emigre publishing house Posev (publisher), Kuznetsov wrote:

"In the summer of 1969 I escaped from the USSR with photographic films, including films containing the unabridged text of Babi Yar. I am publishing it as my first book free of all political censorship, and I am asking you to consider this edition of Babi Yar as the only authentic text. It contains the text published originally, everything that was expurgated by the censors, and what I wrote after the publication, including the final stylistic polish. Finally, this is what I wrote."

During Kuznetsov's émigré years, he worked for Radio Liberty, travelled a great deal, but did not write anything for ten years.

Babi Yar was reissued by Picador (division of Farrar, Straus and Giroux in US) with a new introduction by Masha Gessen in 2023 near the one year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Kuznetzov died in London in 1979 from his third heart attack and was buried on the eastern side of Highgate Cemetery.

Isobel Campbell

Isobel Campbell (born 27 April 1976) is a Scottish singer, songwriter and cellist. She rose to prominence at age nineteen as a member of the indie pop band Belle & Sebastian, but left the group to pursue a solo career, first as The Gentle Waves, and later under her own name. She later collaborated with singer Mark Lanegan on three albums. Her latest studio album, Bow To Love, was released in 2024.

Campbell's music has been described as either indie pop, chamber pop or singer-songwriter. Regardless of genre, Campbell makes gentle and sombre music, often using classical instruments.

1996–2002: Belle & Sebastian
Belle & Sebastian was formed in 1996 by Stuart Murdoch and Stuart David; Campbell had met Murdoch at a New Year's Eve party at age nineteen, and then participated in a recording session with Murdoch and David sponsored by Stow College's Music Business Administration curriculum. They named themselves Belle & Sebastian after a children's book of the same name. Murdoch was the lead singer on the first two albums, with Campbell playing cello, percussion and singing backing vocals. A classically trained cellist, Campbell also played keyboards. She also took lead vocals on a few songs from the band, and co-wrote their top-20 UK single "Legal Man".

Their follow-up was The Boy with the Arab Strap which contained the track "Is It Wicked Not to Care?" where for the first time Campbell sang lead vocals. The band's next album was Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant. The album introduced many stylistic changes, such as a larger string section and more of the members singing lead vocals; Campbell sings on "Family Tree", and performs a duet with Stevie Jackson on "Beyond the Sunrise".

Most of 2002 was spent on touring and recording a soundtrack album, Storytelling (for Storytelling by Todd Solondz). Campbell left the band in spring of 2002, in the middle of their North American tour.

1998: Collaboration with Snow Patrol
On Snow Patrol's 1998 debut album Songs for Polarbears, Campbell provides vocals on the song "NYC".

2003–2006: Solo work

The follow-up to The Green Fields of Foreverland would become Swansong for You released on 6 November 2000. This album would be the last release by Campbell as The Gentle Waves. In 2002, she collaborated with Scottish jazz musician Bill Wells on Ghost of Yesterday, a collection of Billie Holiday songs released by Creeping Bent. In 2003 she released a new album Amorino under her own name. Bill Wells was featured here again, along with other jazz musicians.

They would later release a single entitled "Ramblin' Man" for their collaboration album Ballad of the Broken Seas. Campbell wrote and recorded the majority of the album's tracks in Glasgow, with Lanegan adding vocals in Los Angeles. The album was nominated for the 2006 Mercury Prize. Lanegan and Campbell played four UK concerts in January 2007, with the London date being moved to a larger venue as a result of high demand for tickets.

In 2007, the duo recorded a second album together, entitled Sunday at Devil Dirt, which was released on 5 May 2008. Three singles from the album were released: "Who Built the Road"(7"), "Come On Over (Turn Me On)" (7") and "Keep me in mind sweetheart"(Cd, 12"). The five new tracks of the "Keep me in mind sweetheart" EP were later added as bonus tracks to Sunday at Devil Dirt.

The Only Real Reality?
Isn't this lady the only romance/reality star to actually marry the person they picked?--Isaac R 22:31, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yep. To my knowledge there is no other reality couple who has actually made it to the altar or even past the 1-2 year mark. There's been a LOT of talk that Trista & Ryan were paid to marry & that their entire relationship has been manufactured. I.E, that they couldn't divorce or something b/c of a contract or something to that extent. There's no concrete proof, but the talk has never really died down. The divorce rumors especially fueled this rumor, since people said that they were told they "couldn't" divorce. Hope it's not true though, that would really suck.

Important points about The Big O
— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jerjets11 (talk • contribs) 08:34, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * First, his background. The Indianapolis he grew up in was very racially segregated. As a black, Robertson had to face down a lot of racism and he never forgot that. The U. of Indiana would not offer him a scholarship. The U. of Cincinnati gave him academic problems.
 * Second, the guy was very cutting edge as a player. A big point guard who could post up other guards near the basket. At times much like a center or a forward, at other times very much the point guard. Magic Johnson and Anfernee Hardaway were compared to Oscar. At 6'5 he was very strong in an era of 200-pound forwards.
 * Third, the guy was no-flash by choice. No dunks, no in-yo-face. He was intelligent, calculating. He controlled the game's tempo with the ball. He analyzed matchups and played to win. He could impose his will on a game like few ever. He is the all-time NBA point guard.
 * Fourth, the triple-doubles. Oscar will tell you they are overrated. He did them in the flow of the game without any thought to his stats. Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain has triple-doubles also. But blocked shots were not counted then. There were more rebounds available in the 60s. Assists were harder to get in his day. He went after a ton of free throws. The stats don't matter. His all-around talent did not need numbers.
 * Fifth, the Royals were a mess. The owners drafted only local guys and looked to sell hotdogs. Oscar was sometimes part of the problem with the racial division of the team. But they played several seasons in the wrong division, had to deal with the Celtics, 76ers and Knicks, all of whom won titles, and lost key guys to expansion. The Royals also had four coaches during Oscar's run there. Yes, the guy did have an issue with Jerry Lucas that was race-related.
 * Sixth, the guy was president of the NBA Players Union, taking over for Bob Cousy and Tom Heinsohn. He sued the NBA individually as well. He never backed down on principle and made an impact with the league off the court.
 * Seventh, he could have kept playing, but he couldn't get the pay he wanted. The Milwaukee Bucks never contended again without him.
 * Last, He entered the Hall of Fame along side Jerry West and Jerry Lucas. Oscar makes the case he is the greatest player ever. He isn't. By his own admission, Wilt Chamberlain is. But you will still hear him make his case. Ultimately, he has gone a long way to serve himself. But he is a remarkable person who was a truly rare basketball player.

 * "called by some the greatest assemblage of amateur basketball talent ever". is this likely to attract NPOV, given it is unsourced? Chensiyuan 03:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

GA review
I am granting this article GA status. There are a few minor grammar errors, but they are so minor that I'll fix them myself. I do have one minor concern: shouldn't the Olympic medal box go right after the main infobox? Either way, good job on the article.

An article I have been working on, Cape Feare, is currently a GAC and if you could review it, it would be much appreciated. -- Scorpion 19:10, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Most recent player pages have an "international career" section that includes the medal box (if applicable). Maybe that section should be added for the Big "O".  Moretz (talk) 14:04, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Just noticed that this discussion/question is quite old, so I moved the medal table to the 1960 Olympics section to make it more similar to recent player pages. This layout seems consistent within basketball, but doesn't seem to match athletes in other sports (e.g., skiing).  I've decided that that issue is beyond my pay grade :)  Moretz (talk) 14:11, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Graffiti Rock

Graffiti Rock was a hip-hop based television program, originally aired on June 28, 1984. Intended as an ongoing series, the show only received one pilot episode and aired on WPIX channel 11 in New York City and 88 markets around the country, to good Nielsen ratings.

Graffiti Rock resembled a hip hop version of the popular television dance shows at the time such as Soul Train and American Bandstand. The show was created and hosted by Michael Holman, who was the manager of the popular break-dancing crew, the New York City Breakers.

The episode features Run-D.M.C., Shannon, The New York City Breakers DJ Jimmie Jazz, Kool Moe Dee and Special K of the Treacherous Three. The New York City Breakers, who were fresh off of their success from the movie Beat Street, made a showcase appearance. The episode also features television and film actress, Debi Mazar and actor/director Vincent Gallo (who identified as "Prince Vince") as dancers on the show.

A segment of the show was sampled on The Beastie Boys' LP Ill Communication. "[...] alright, you're scratchin it right now, cut the record back and forth against the needle, back and forth, back and forth, makin' it scratch, but let me tell you something: don't try this at home with your dad's stereo, only under hip-hop supervision, alright?" The show has since become an important 'must-see' for hip-hop enthusiasts, alongside such titles as Wild Style and Beat Street.

In the video for the Non Phixion and Arsonists song "14 Years Of Rap", a set very similar to the one on Graffiti Rock was used. In the beginning of the video the words "Graffiti Rock" can be seen and also heard in the sample.

Graffiti Rock was parodied by Gnarls Barkley in the music video for their 2008 single "Run (I'm a Natural Disaster)," from the album The Odd Couple.

Holman was inspired to use the title Graffiti Rock, by a live, hip hop event in the Lower East Side of New York City, created by Henry Chalfant years earlier, also called Graffiti Rock.

Talk:Jonathan Coulton

Ask Me Another Podcast
Should it be noted somewhere in the article that Coulton is a host and the house musician on the NPR podcast “Ask Me Another?” —Tckma (talk) 17:09, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Left 4 Dead 2
The Left 4 Dead 2 reference in the article (speaking about Still Alive) was wrong. It said that the name of the game was "Left For Dead 2". I changed it and made it link to the relevant wiki page.

PlausibleSarge (talk) 05:35, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

RE: Your Brains
As a non-Wiki type of person... it seems sort of redundant to have the Left 4 Dead 2 Jukebox thing mentioned in 3 or 4 areas of the article already.--136.142.46.33 (talk) 15:44, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

YouTube
There are a large number of YouTube videos of Coulton. There also seems to be some sort of project for fans to create music videos using his songs and copyright-free images. Would someone be willing to write that up? I would, but Bob from the office down the hall wants to see me about something. ;-) Brendano 20:58, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Popular Science was hosting a contest a few weeks ago for the best videos for "I Feel Fantastic." I assume the others are from similar conests...  Of course he talks about them on jonathancoulton.com... --Mrcolj 12:10, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Unverifiable content
I removed this: ''Jonathan Coulton the son of the thunder and the wide-open plain. He eats sixteen eggs for breakfast, and he beat up your big brother. He has played in concert halls in Danzig, Sebastapol and Kinshasa and by command of Michael_I_of_Romania.''

''In his spare time, Jonathan Coulton likes to fight bears. In fact, before he became a professional software programmer, part-time performer, and contributing troubador to popular technical publications, his dream was to be a professional bear fighter. Unfortunately, however, there really isn't much of a demand for bear fighting. Not anymore. Not since the Swiss-Austrian legend of the game, Andre "the Bear-Fighting Maniac" Schvitzkein was mauled to death during a public demonstration in the animal husbandry exhibition of the 1889 Leipzig Circus. So, having been born to the wrong century, Coulton had to pursue other interests. Still, he sometimes steals off by himself, to one of America's national parks, and seek out a particularly ferocious grizzly, or an agitated brown bear, for a little one-on-one.''

 * Clever, but I'm not sure that can be factually verified. Jon 20:25, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * This article (including above but other stuff too) has the flavor of being written by the subject of the article. I'm not sure why this guy would have such an extensive article with peculiar specifics unless he was writing it himself. JettaMann (talk) 14:47, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The bear nonsense smacks of vandalism, and there's nothing left in the article that's along those lines. If the article said that he was raised by wolves, though, that would suggest it was written, or at least inspired, by John Hodgman; it's a running gag of his.  The fact is that Jonathan Coulton has an internet-based following and is especially popular among programmers.  His web site has its own wiki, inspired by TMBW.  It's not as large a demographic as Justin Bieber fans, but it's nerdier and more technical, and on that basis more inclined to edit Wikipedia articles.  MisterFancyPants (talk) 16:20, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Creative Commons
Suggest adding that since Jonathan Coulton uses Creative Commons for licensing, a number of music_videos have been creating using his songs. Machinima such as Mike "Spiff" Booth's videos for Re: Your Brains and Just As Long As Me are created using computer generated graphics from games such as World of Warcraft. There are also videos in the style of Coulton's Flickr which use Creative Commons licensed photographs from Flickr as a slideshow accompaniment to the song. The Jonathan Coulton Project has created a number of these.

POV
A simple read of this page reveals it to be woefully biased towards the subject. I reverted some of the "critical overview" added by Hippobabe.--Drat (Talk) 11:51, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I get the feeling that it could even use more, yet. As I read through this it still felt like it was constantly complimenting the guy. Though, that's easy to say for the guy who isn't editing himself. --82.26.181.110 (talk) 18:51, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Portal Themesong
As far as I'm aware, this Jonathan Coulton wrote the themesong/end-credits song for Valve's Portal. Don't know if that's important enough to add, and I don't trust myself beyond minor grammar edits, so hopefully some hero will ride out of the sun and insert mention of the game. 71.107.0.109 07:55, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, he did do the end credits. There's a bunch of comments over on his blog entry regarding the orange box about it. I can't find a source for the song title, so I changed the sentence about it to reflect that, and linked to the voice talent's page. I took the GCF file containing the song apart and the filename is indeed portal_still_alive.mp3, but that doesn't mean that is in fact the song title.Thalakan 15:16, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Oops, I just took apart the credits script, and it does indeed refer to the song as Still Alive. Corrected. Thalakan 15:45, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Quoting the article: He is also credited for writing the song "Still Alive" This seems to me to give the impression that he didn't actually write it, people just think he did. So I've changed it to He also wrote the song "Still Alive" instead. --Islomaniac 973 16:27, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Now I come to think of it, a reference would be nice. Can anyone eg get a screenshot from the credits for me, or find the credits online? Kthxbai. --Islomaniac 973 16:39, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

This song is also in the game 'Chime', from the first humble indie bundle, screenshot here. Efreak (talk) 16:43, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

The intro paragraph and the "Discography" section appear to have a lot of overlapping/redundant information. Anybody want to tackle? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrguido45 (talk • contribs) 15:55, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Reworked
I did some major reworking to the article - In addition to some minor rewording, I took out the double references, and moved material around to more appropriate sections. Any other suggestions for things to do? -AtionSong (talk) 23:21, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Paul R. Potts (talk) 14:51, 8 July 2008 (UTC): A note on his policy for live recording might be interesting; I think he is unusual like the Grateful Dead in allowing recording of his live shows, depending on the policy of the venue, but I can't find a hard reference for this.

Edit request from Thimmylicious, 22 April 2011 Adding song to the list.
Please add that the duo Ellen McLain and Jonathan Coulton also contribute to Portal 2 with a song called 'Want You Gone'.

Reference #32 - Dead link
I would normally just add the dead link template to reference #32 (http://spaceparanoids.net/2010/12/shopvac/), as the link leads to a 404. However, it appears that the wayback machine does have an archive of that page--but it naturally does not include the relevant portion of it, namely, the video. As a result, should the reference and accompanying information simply be removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.5.224.19 (talk) 15:36, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

JoCo Cruise
It seems odd to me that there is no mention of the JoCo Cruise (formerly JoCo Cruise Crazy) which is a annual geek cruise that has been going on since 2011 and in 2017 will have control over the entire cruise ship. There are lots of articles out there that discuss the cruise and the various entertainers that have participated. Here is the blog post where fans voted for the cruise: http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2009/10/23/hypothetical-question/ And here is the announcement of the first cruise: http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2010/07/14/joco-cruise-crazy-2/ Here is an independent announcement of the next cruise: http://laughingsquid.com/jonathan-coulton-announces-the-lineup-for-joco-cruise-2017/ Here is a wired magazine article about the 4th cruise (2014): https://www.wired.com/2014/12/nerd-cruise/ This may or may not deserve it's own page but it seems like a section on Jonathan Coulton's page is a good starting point. And is definitely a noteworthy thing when discussing JoCo. Vernhart (talk) 02:01, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

 * In my opinion, it's grown to such a magnitude that I think it might warrant its own article. It has hosted many well-known performers, including Peter Sagal, Wil Wheaton, They Might Be Giants, Rachel Bloom, and Aimee Mann, to name a few. Daishoryujin95 (talk) 01:21, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Hobby horse

Etymology section should be first
To someone raised in a culture with no concept of a hobby horse, this article is very confusing. Such a person comes to this article just wanting to know exactly what a hobby horse is and where the phrase comes from. They have to scroll down through endless tangential, almost-trivial tidbits of information about hobby horse traditions in various countries and cultures before actually coming to the exact meaning of the phrase and where it comes from. A simple introduction section needs to be added, or at least the etymology section should be moved to the beginning. The article does not read like it was written by a scholar or an encyclopedist, but rather by someone for whom the topic hobby horse is...well, a hobby horse (i.e., too long and too many trivial asides).

Redirect and merge tag
Removed talk page redirect.

I'm removing the merge tag because no reason was given for it, and no discussion has taken place. --The Transhumanist 08:53, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Article needs more disambiguation or merging
The article Hobby horse deals with both the child's toy and the Morris dance or May day versions mentioned on the Hobby horse disambiguation page, as well as other uses. Either the two articles need merging into a single article or Hobby horse needs separating out into different articles, with the disambiguation page being vastly improved by the addition of the other uses material. Otherwise the disambiguation page is redundant and this article becomes a mess. -- Cameron Dewe 08:57, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I've separated the toy off onto a page of its own, Hobby horse (toy).SiGarb | (Talk) 18:49, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

May_Day_hobby_horses
The May_Day_hobby_horses portion of this article seems to need a separate article. Also, contributions by LambOfDog seems to be a subtle attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. -- Cameron Dewe 09:10, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Inadmissible evidence!
I have removed the remark in parentheses, and the three paragraphs below, added by LambOfDog on 11th and 12th July. This is lovely eyewitness stuff, but unfortunately it has to have been published elsewhere before it can be admitted into Wikipedia. So sorry, my lover!

 * (The Dunster horse, alive in the 1970's is, alas, now dead. Its carcass is on public display in the West Somerset Rural Museum at The Old School, Allerford).

 * It is all very gentrified today. Not at all like it should be. In times gone by, the Dunster horse would arrive at the buttercross at the top of Dunster village on the road to Ellicombe on May 1st, in the early evening. It was accompanied by a drummer and accordianist. The horse would dance down to the village, followed by local children. A feature of the horse was a long tail made from thin rope, with knots in it. As the horse turned, the tail would fly around at great speed. It was very dangerous. The game was for the kids to get as close as possible to it without getting hit. But when the horse was being stalked it danced all the more vigourously, making the kids run away. A strongly held belief amongst the children was that the other end of the tail was tied around the man's neck, so if the tail was caught hold of and pulled, then the horse could be killed. This was something everyone seemed too frightened to try. Any young woman coming towards the horse was stopped by the horse and not allowed to proceed until she had bowed/curtsied/smiled... to it.

 * The first pub reached was the Foresters Arms and the 'horse party' would go in for a swift pint. A few minutes later, the hobby horse is dancing again and it dances to the next pub, the Stag's Head. After a second beer, the next place on the itinerary was Dunster Castle. The horse was greeted by the Luttrell family. After the Castle, the horse went into Dunster High street where the performance moved up a gear, fuelled by beer. The dancing was at its most frenetic. At the end of the High Street is the Luttrell Arms and this is where the performance ended. Drinks were enjoyed by all and then the hobby horse was packed up and went back to whereever it came from.

 * The most striking thing about this annual event in Dunster, was that tourists or visitors were never present. Very few, if any, local adults were present either. This was an event for the local kids and it was fantastic. Sadly, it can never happen again. Now we'd need to buy tickets and have to suffer accompanying dancers. Anyway a horse with a knotted tail would never get a safety license. We indeed live in sad times. I can't bloody believe it! Not like times of yore, I nearly weep. And so I must say goodnight my lovers :-(

"Former Times"?
Re: "Just as children today imitate adults driving cars, so, in former times, children played at riding a wooden hobby-horse made of a straight stick with a small horse's head (of wood or stuffed fabric), and perhaps reins, attached to one end."

I don't know if hobby horses are still common and beloved of children in 2010, but I can testify that they were fairly ubiquitous as recently as the 1960's, seventy-some years after the automobile was invented. I'm going to take the liberty of removing "so, in former times", bearing in mind the opening sentence, "A hobby horse (or hobby-horse) is a child's toy horse, particularly popular during the days before cars." I think "particularly popular during the days before cars" is quite enough. TheScotch (talk) 07:08, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

the article is really good and well organized how ever it could us some links--Sha22357 (talk) 19:51, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Intro needs rewrite
I came to this page after reading a reference to "hobby horse" and not understanding. Unfortunately, the introduction of the article hardly helped to clarify: "The term hobby horse is used, principally by folklorists, to refer to the costumed characters that feature in some traditional seasonal customs, processions and similar observances around the world." The constumed characters? Which ones? Some traditional seasonal customs, etc.?" Which ones?! Where around the world!? The article itself is very informative, but the introduction verges on cryptic—and is certainly unhelpful. --Duriancupcakes (talk) 06:04, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Tim Roemer

Untitled
Tim Roemer takes much hey about his vote against the Clinton tax increase and budget in 1993. It is important to keep in mind, that according to Congressional Quarterly, Roemer voted to preserve the taxing and spending limits in Clinton's budget 44 times in procedural votes only to vote against the final version of the bill. It is more likely that this was a political move on Roemers part because while the 3rd district was mostly democractic, it was old school democratic which made a conservative democrat look appealing.

Timothy Roemer stepped down from being ambassador
probably a good idea to update "The news came on the same day as Indian officials said U.S. companies had been shut out of one of the biggest Indian defense deals in years: The purchase of 126 fighter jets worth some $10 billion. The timing may be coincidental — Mr. Roemer in his resignation statement said he was resigning for “personal, professional and family considerations” and said nothing of the fighter contract – but is nonetheless significant. For while the U.S. has tried mightily during his two-year tenure to alter the economic dynamic between India and the U.S., there is little to show for it." http://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2011/04/28/what-did-roemer-achieve-as-u-s-ambassador/ 122.177.116.155 (talk) 15:07, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Rip Rogers
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Rip Rogers's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I corrected year of birth to 1897, as this is the inscription on his grave (see link to findagrave.com). I mentioned in the edit summary that countrymusichalloffame.org doesn't support the 1898 claim, but I was wrong. I have emailed them about it. Hoverfish Talk 14:12, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

I have received an answer by historian John Rumble who has done research on Fred Rose, stating that "even during his lifetime, there was some uncertainty about which year he was born", and that "all accounts of his life were based on a brief biographical sketch done by two of his friends, who were in the advertising business". The year 1898 was determined by "the manuscript U.S. census for 1900, and from the ages of persons in his parents’ household". As a result, I include both referenced dates in the article.

Denise, I saw your comments on Lukumí. In merging Lucumí, I think most of the article is now actually about the religion instead of the animal rights "debate". However, your comments suggest you know a bit more than I do on the subject and the community would greatly benefit from your input. Go ahead and edit the article yourself. As we say around here, be bold! -- Chris 20:27, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Just saw your response Chris. Have not been checking in - I have a break coming up in two weeks, for about a month and will edit the article ASAP. Denise

Young Lords
Hi, welcome, I saw your comments on Talk:Young Lords: very glad to have someone here who should be considerably more knowledgable on this than me! I'd really love to see a good article there. If I can be of any assistance, just ask.

Also, please sign your comments on talk pages with ~, which the software will automatically turn into a link to your user page and a datetime stamp. It makes it a lot easier to sort out who said what when. Thanks! -- Jmabel | Talk 00:31, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Have forgotten how to edit since I haven't been here for a while, the YLO/YLP page has changed a lot since my last visit and could use more work. I'll see what I can do

Your 1971 pamphlet
Dear Mrs. Oliver-Velez

One of my hobbies is uploading old radical pamphlets onto the free online library archive.org. According to worldcat, which is an index to all the lbrary catalogs in the world (not really, but thats what they are aiming for) there were three pamphlets published by the young lords, one of them, the Ideology of the Young Lords, i've already uploaded; one a collection of resolutions of their 2nd Party congress, and one about the Young Lords stance on women, written by yourself.

http://www.worldcat.org/wcpa/oclc/80159541&tab=details

The worldcat entry says your pamphlet was 7ps and was titled When you look to any group to find out who's the most oppressed, it's always gonna be the women. While i havn't found anything with that precise title online, I have a feeling it could be the pdf on the below link:

http://palante.org/Women.htm

Or perhaps one of the pdfs on this site

http://younglords.info/

Could you please tell me if one of these pdfs is your pamphlet and, if so, may I please have permission to upload the pamphlet onto archive.org?

Sincerely, Jonathan

PS You wouldn't happen to know where I could find a copy of Resolutions and speeches of the 1972 young Lords Congress would you?

http://www.worldcat.org/wcpa/oclc/7892035&tab=details

--Dudeman5685 (talk) 20:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC) Hi Jonathan - I believe that might be one of the chapters from the Palante book. I will take a look and see.

Dear Ms. Velez, I like your comment from the NYTimes. The hockey mom is common in MI. Folksy is a good word that has been described by evaluators, including the NYTimes from what I recall. Booker T. Washington is a great noble symbol of someone whom contributed to America and it's society. Palin is not, nor should be mentioned. She is the polar opposite of it. She is blah. Even at times to the average working man. I am in aww from someone in the Black Panthers! Thank you for your comments. -Steve Iwankovitsch http://community.nytimes.com/article/comments/2008/10/10/opinion/10brooks.html?s=3

would love your collaboration

Contests
User:Dr. Blofeld has created WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:15, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Attention: WikiProject African diaspora participants
Hello fellow project participants. Not sure how many users are still active as normal Wikipedia editors but felt the need to attempt to get a gauge on who can be called on for help with articles falling under the umbrella of the African diaspora project. According to the project's article table there are over six thousand articles related to the African diaspora; there's not a hundred at FA/GA grade and there's over twelve hundred that are unassessed. With Wikipedia being one of the major information reference points in the world today we should consider this unacceptable. Much work needs to be done on the rating of the importance of articles as well. With more communication amongst participants and a dedication to addressing the articles on the to-do list I believe we can make this WikiProject one of the most well organized and thorough on the site. If you are interested in collaborative work with some of your fellow project members, have certain expertise on any particular subjects, ideals on/about the WikiProject, etc. simply drop your name under the "Project revision" section I've created on the project's talk page and state your intentions and main points of interest in our WikiProject and we can attempt to move forward from there. Hoping to hear from everyone soon! WikiGuy86 (talk) 03:20, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Image Copyright Problem RE:Image:Paulino.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Paulino.jpg. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law. We need you to specify two things on the image description page:
 * The copyright holder, and
 * The copyright status

The copyright holder is usually the creator. If the creator was paid to make this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder.

Because of the large number of images on Wikipedia, we've sorted them using image copyright tags. Just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image, and paste it onto the image description page like this:.

There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:
 * An open content licence
 * Public Domain
 * Fair Use

 * The copyright holder gets the best protection of his work by licencing their work under an open content license like the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence. If you have the express permission of the copyright holder to licence their work under the above licence, use the image copyright tag: cc-by-sa-2.5.  The GNU Free Documentation License is another choice for licencing one's work.  Again, if you have the express permission of the copyright holder, use the tag: GFDL.

 * The copyright holder can also release his work into the public domain, see here for images released into the public domain.

 * Images from certain sources are automatically release into the Public Domain. This is true for most governments like the federal United States government. (See   here  for images from the government of the USA and here for other governments)  However not all governments release their work into the public domain, such as the UK government (See herefor images from the UK government).  Non-free licence governments are listed here.

 * Also, in some cases, an image is copyrighted but allowed on Wikipedia because of Fair Use. To see if this image qualifies and then how to tag it, see Fair use.

For any other sources of for more information see Image copyright tags. Please remember that if you don't tag your images, they will be deleted.

 * P.S. If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them.  Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future.

If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again. --JesseW 20:28, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:51, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

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