Brock Olivo

James Brockman Olivo (born June 24, 1976) is an American football coach and former player who is a special teams analyst for the Missouri Tigers football team. Prior to his current job, he was the tight ends coach for the Washington University Bears and the running backs coach for the Philadelphia Stars of the United States Football League (USFL). Previously, he played as a running back for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League (NFL) for four seasons. He then played two seasons in the Italian Football League (IFL).

High school career
Born in St. Louis, and raised in Hermann, Missouri, Olivo attended St. Francis Borgia Regional High School in Washington, Missouri, where he rushed for 5,030 yards and 70 touchdowns during his high school career. He led Borgia to an undefeated season and Missouri state championship in 1993, as well as being named the Gatorade "Player of the Year" in the state of Missouri.

Education and college career
Olivo attended the University of Missouri where he earned a degree in English literature. As a member of the football team, Olivo was the first awardee of the Mosi Tatupu Award for the top special teams player in college football. He left as the University of Missouri's career rushing and touchdown leader, but both records have since been broken (twice as of 2008 ). He was the seventh player in school history to have his jersey retired. He was also tapped into the Mystical Seven secret honor society during his tenure at Mizzou.

Professional career
Olivo went undrafted out of college, but he made the Detroit Lions roster with his tenacious play on their special teams units. Olivo played for four seasons on Detroit's league-leading special teams, where he led the team in tackles on special teams in two of his four seasons, as well as being a backup at running back and fullback.

After the NFL, from 2003 to 2004, Olivo played running back and was also a coach in Italy with the Lazio Marines, a team in the top division Italian Football League of Italy's American professional football league. He helped the team to the semifinals game for the first time in the team's history.

Coaching career
Olivo served as head coach and offensive coordinator of the Italy national American football team, and lived in Rome before returning to the United States. He was later the running backs coach and special teams assistant for the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League.

In 2012, Olivo was hired as an assistant coach, running backs coach, and special teams coach at Coastal Carolina University.

Following back-to-back Big South Conference Championships (2012–13) with Coastal Carolina, Olivo was hired by the Kansas City Chiefs to become their assistant special teams coach. On January 24, 2017, he was announced by the Denver Broncos as their special teams coordinator.

On January 19, 2018, Olivo was hired by the Chicago Bears as a special teams assistant, reuniting him with new head coach Matt Nagy, who was a colleague of Olivo's in Kansas City. He was fired on December 31, 2019.

Olivo returned to Rome in 2020 to join the Lazio Ducks (a merger of the Lazio Marines and the Roma Grizzlies) as their coach, but the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Following a stint as assistant coach of the Italy national American football team, Olivo was hired as the running backs coach for the Philadelphia Stars of the United States Football League. Prior to the 2022 NCCA Division III season, Olivo was hired as the tight ends coach at Washington University in St. Louis. Following one season in St. Louis, Olivo returned to Missouri, joining Eliah Drinkwitz's staff as a special teams analyst.

Personal life
In 2008, Olivo ran unsuccessfully for Congress in Missouri's 9th congressional district, losing the Republican primary to eventual victor Blaine Luetkemeyer.

Olivo has been married twice: firstly, to Samuela, and then to Federica, with whom he has a daughter.

Talk:Islands

 * Did you mean to type Talk:Island?

Many articles link to this page, "islands" (plural), though they should be linking to "island" (singular). Their wiki-markup must be changed from: islands to: islands, such that the link goes to "island", while the word displayed is "islands".

Look here for a list of these articles... they must eventually be corrected. Special:Whatlinkshere/Islands

Note that there may be a few that link to "Islands", though they should be linking to, for example, Islands (1987 album), as was (until I fixed it) the case of the Bonnie Tyler article.

-- Alexbatko, Wed Aug 31 13:53:18 EDT 2005

The band that was occupying the page here, before I turned it into a redirect, had not yet performed live nor released an album. That is well below the notability criteria for bands. Please do not change this article to be about the band unless you can supply additional information to indicate that it is in fact notable.

If some other usage for 'islands' is found to be necessary can I suggest making it link from Island (disambiguation). DJ Clayworth 20:58, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

The Ingoldsby Legends

The Ingoldsby Legends (full title: The Ingoldsby Legends, or Mirth and Marvels) is a collection of myths, legends, ghost stories and poems written supposedly by Thomas Ingoldsby of Tappington Manor, actually a pen-name of an English clergyman named Richard Harris Barham.

Background
The legends were first printed during 1837 as a regular series in the magazine Bentley's Miscellany and later in New Monthly Magazine. They proved immensely popular and were compiled into books published by Richard Bentley in 1840, 1842 and 1847. They remained popular during the 19th century, when they ran through many editions. They were illustrated by artists including George Cruikshank, John Leech and John Tenniel; and Arthur Rackham (1898 edition).

As a priest of the Chapel Royal, with a private income, Barham was not troubled with strenuous duties, and he had ample time to read, and to compose his stories and poems. Although the "legends" are based on folklore or other pre-existing sources, chiefly Kentish, such as the "hand of glory", they are mostly humorous parodies or pastiches.

Content
Barham introduces the collection with the statement that "The World, according to the best geographers, is divided into Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Romney Marsh".

The best-known poem in the collection is "The Jackdaw of Rheims", which is about a jackdaw that steals a cardinal's ring and is made a saint under the name Jem Crow. The village pub in Denton, Kent, was renamed The Jackdaw Inn in 1963.

A popular prose story is that of "Grey Dolphin", a horse who helps save the life of his master, Sir Ralph de Shurland, by swimming to obtain a royal pardon for Sir Ralph's murder of a priest; but is then beheaded after a "hag" predicts that he will be the cause of Sir Ralph's death. Three years later, Sir Ralph encounters Grey Dolphin's skull and kicks it contemptuously, only for a tooth to pierce his foot and cause an infection, from which he dies – so fulfilling the prophecy. The tale is based on the traditional Isle of Sheppey legend of Sir Robert de Shurland, combined with another local legend of a drowned seaman buried but then exhumed at Chatham, and with the addition of much imaginative detail. In an introductory note added to the story in 1840 (and writing as "Thomas Ingoldsby"), Barham claims descent from Sir Ralph de Shurland, and a right to bear the Shurland coat of arms alongside his own, which he does on the volume's title page.

The collection also contains one of the earliest transcriptions of the song "A Franklyn's Dogge", an early version of the song "Bingo".

Many of the tales include brief jocular and derisory references to an antiquary named "Mr Simpkinson": this was a satirical version of the real-life antiquary John Britton.

Jo Beverley

Mary Josephine Beverley (née Dunn; 22 September 1947 – 23 May 2016) was a prolific English-Canadian writer of historical and contemporary romance novels from 1988 to 2016. Her works are regarded as well researched, filled with historical details, and peopled by communities of interlinked characters, stretching the boundaries of the historical romantic fiction genre. They have been translated into several languages, and she has received multiple awards.

Early life and education
Mary Josephine Dunn was born 22 September 1947 in Lancashire, England. She was of Irish descent.

At age 11, she went to an all-girls boarding school, Layton Hill Convent, Blackpool. At 16, she wrote her first romance, with a medieval setting, completed in instalments in an exercise book. She read history and American studies at Keele University in Staffordshire from 1966 to 1970, where she earned a degree in English history. The broad-based learning of Keele's foundation year and the availability of archived Regency-period newspapers were useful resources to enable her to develop her fiction writing.

On 24 June 1971, she married Ken Beverley, whom she met at Keele.

Career
After graduation, she quickly attained a position as a youth employment officer. She stayed in this profession until 1976, working first in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, and then in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire.

In 1976, Beverley moved to Canada, where her scientist husband was invited to do post-doctoral research at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. When her professional qualifications proved unusable in the Canadian labour market, Beverley decided to develop her early interest in creative writing.

Many of her "Rogue" characters were created in an initial manuscript entitled A Regency Rape. At this point, Beverley did not have a fixed idea of the narrower literary boundaries drawn by the traditional Regency romantic novel and thus created a literary hybrid. A precursor of the Regency historical novel, the work had a more varied cast of characters which, while respectful of the world of Georgette Heyer, broadened the scope and intensity of the genre. At this time Beverley was still unpublished, but devoted her time to caring for her two young sons and participating in the woman-centred childbirth movement, which made her especially careful to portray births in her novels realistically but positively.

The turning point in Beverley's writing career came when her move to Montreal led to her attendance at a talk on "The state of romance in fiction" by Janet Adams, at Beaconsfield Library on 23 May 1984. The executive advisor of the Writers' Association for Romance and Mainstream demystified the creative process for the budding author and was sufficiently impressed by Beverley's writing to act as her agent.

That same year, the family moved to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, where Beverley became a founding member of the Ottawa Romance Writers' Association (ORWA). Formed in 1985, ORWA became her "nurturing community" for the next 12 years.

In 1988, Beverley, who was actively writing science fiction as well as romance, was a finalist in the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest. That same year, she sold her first romance novel. With her ensuing success in the latter genre, she allowed speculative writing to slide, though elements of it appear periodically in some of her romances and novellas.

Beverly wrote at multiple blogs:
 * Jo Talk, a solo blog where "she post[ed] anything that interest[ed] her"
 * Minepast, a solo blog where "she share[d] interesting tid-bits of history she discover[ed] as she researche[d] her novels"
 * the UK Historical Romance blog
 * Word Wenches, a group blog comprising posts by eight women "historical authors who blog about history, writing, and anything vaguely related"

Personal life
Soon after university, Beverley and her husband Ken moved to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Beverley became a Canadian with dual citizenship, and she and Ken raised their two sons there, then moved to Victoria, British Columbia.

She and Ken moved back to England in 2009, and they lived in Dawlish, Devon, though they were considering returning to Victoria permanently.

Later life and death
In 2012, Beverley survived a bout with cancer and was in remission for four years. However, the cancer returned and moved very quickly; she succumbed to it on 23 May 2016. She died in a care home in Yorkshire, England.

Recognition
Her works have been translated into many languages and have won her many awards, including five RITAs, two Career Achievement Awards from Romantic Times. She has also won The Golden Leaf Award, and the Readers' Choice Award. A member of the Romance Writers of America (RWA) Honor Roll, Beverley has been inducted into the RWA Hall of Fame. She is the only Canadian to be inducted.

Winnipeg North (provincial electoral district)

Winnipeg North was a provincial electoral division in Manitoba, Canada. It existed on two separate occasions.

It was initially created for the 1883 provincial election, and abolished with the 1920 election when Winnipeg became a single, ten-member constituency.

Winnipeg North was re-established for the elections of 1949 and 1953 as a four-member constituency. In 1958, it was divided into several single-member constituencies.

Original constituency
The Winnipeg North constituency was created for the 1883 election, when the original Winnipeg constituency was divided into two sections: Winnipeg North and Winnipeg South. It was a single-member constituency until the 1914 election, when it returned two members. In 1914 and 1915 elections, electors of Winnipeg North were allowed to cast one vote for each of the two seats, which were called "Winnipeg North A" and "Winnipeg North B". This "post" system ended in 1920 when the district was rolled into a new single city wide district electing ten through STV.

In the early 20th century, Winnipeg North became known for its large working-class and immigrant communities. Many electors were recent immigrants from Eastern Europe, who profoundly changed the area's political character.

Solomon Hart Green, elected in 1910, was the first Jewish Canadian to serve in a Canadian provincial legislature. Richard Rigg, returned in 1915 for Winnipeg North "B", was the first Social Democrat elected in Manitoba.

Re-established constituency
The single constituency of Winnipeg was divided into three sections for the 1949 election: Winnipeg North, Winnipeg Centre and Winnipeg South. All three constituencies elected four members to the legislature, with electors choosing members by a single transferable ballot.

Winnipeg North had very prominent Jewish and Ukrainian communities in this period, and was by far the most left-wing section of the city. Bill Kardash, Manitoba's only Communist Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA), was returned for Winnipeg North in both 1949 and 1953. The socialist Cooperative Commonwealth Federation was the area's dominant party, and returned two members in both elections.

The constituency was eliminated at the 1958 election, when Manitoba abolished its multi-member seats. Several single-member constituencies were created in its place.

Talk:Assibilation

neologism?
I tried Googling this term, but got only 8 hits, some of which seemed to be misspellings of "assimilation". Is this term actually used in linguistic literature or is it a neologism?

Peter Isotalo 20:56, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Google isn't a good reference for linguistics, then. The same term has been also used for the change k → s in Samoyedic, and the term "assibilation" is found in Virittäjä (the Finnish linguistics journal) references. --Vuo 10:13, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Could you provide an English-language reference that uses it? To be honest, I'm having trouble understanding why we couldn't include this in assimilation (linguistics), which is a stub right now. It's not helpful to readers to create sub-stubs instead of including this kind of information in higher-level articles.
 * Peter Isotalo 14:20, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * This site, for example, is such a reference; one sound change in the gay lisp is assibilation. Assibilation is a particular mechanism of sound change. Assimilation is a particular type of sound change. Although the particular example in the article is assimilation, it needn't to be. These could be other examples: the sound change 'th → s' in some non-native accents of English, or the diachronic assibilation of word-final 't' in Pohjanmaa dialect of Finnish, or the paragogic 's' onto '-e' sometimes seen in Finnish. --Vuo 09:33, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * No, Wikipedia itself is not a valid reference to prove the validity of certain terms; that's launching a neologism. You need to use outside linguistic sources, or it will be considered original research, even if the analysis makes sense. At the very least make a proper citation of it's usage in Virittäjä.
 * Peter Isotalo 11:19, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

 * hi. this is a term in linguistics, although it is not as common as other terms. it usually refers to palatalization with frication. so, alveolar stop → postalveolar fricative/affricate. it has a specific name because this is rather common, historically & synchronically. since you doubt its existence, you can find some references listed here: http://www.silinternational.net/linguistics/glossary_fe/glossary.asp?entryid=9323&src=y. peace – ishwar  (speak)  23:08, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

usage examples
i provide examples (both old & recent) of these term appearing the journal, Language, below. (of course more examples can be found.)

 * "As far as our present knowledge goes Tocharian treats palatals and labio-velars alike. Indo-European kͨ [c] appear as k in ḳante ‘hundred,’ okṭ ‘eight,’ etc., while a secondary assibilation gives ç before original front vowels, as in miço ‘urine’ beside Gātha-Avestan maēzaiti ‘he urinates,’ palaçalñe ‘a burning’ beside Avestan brāzaiti ‘it shines’ and Greek φλέγω ‘I burn.’ Just so Indo-European qw [kʷ] appears as k in piṅkte ‘fifth’ and in derivatives of the relative-interrogative pronoun, such as kupre ‘if’ and kwri ‘when,’ while Indo-European gw [gʷ] yields kakmu ‘having come,’ with perfect reduplication of the root *gwem [gʷem]. Indo-European qw [kʷ] shows the secondary assibilation in piç, piṣ ‘five,’ çem ‘he has come,’ etc...." (Sturtevant 1926:27-28)

 * "It is customary, to be sure, to ascribe the instances of incorrect dichotomy in the palatal shift to borrowing from Gmc. or some other language. Yet the following seems to be equally plausible, namely that the process of palatalization and 'assibilation had taken place at a time—if not exclusively in hoariest antiquity—when parts of the satem area came in contact with those of the centum territory; a mutual readjustment and levelling may then have come to a standstill under conditions which are utterly unknown to us..." (Scherer 1941:11)

 * "It is well established that some assibilation of Germanic k occurred in Northumberland as in other dialects of English, but the extent to which non-initial k was affect has remained open to question. A study of the complete place-name material indicates that in the north of Engliand k was retained as a stop in final position. In the county of Northumberland only, medial k was assibilated before i/j, and in the sequence -ik- + palatal vowel; elsewhere in the North medial k was in all situations retained as a stop." (Watson 1947:43)

 * "...For Northumberland only, then, Luick's hypothesis regarding medial k applies: in the sequence -ik- + palatal vowel, as well as in the sequence -ki-/-kj-, the consonant shifted to the č phoneme and was eventually assibilated. (Watson 1947:48)

 * "As indicated above, inherited *-anti ordinarily results in -anza; the lack of assibilation and retention of final i in these vocatives in -anti must thus in some way reflect the unusual phonological environment of vocatives, and will ultimately help determine precisely the conditioning of the development *-ti > z /ts/." (Garrett 1990:275)

correction or precision
Concerning the section "romance language", at the end it is said that the french for suffix -tion is pronounced what is simply wrong since the pronunciation is. The letter o in french may correspond either, , with digram ou,  with digrams on and om or more rarely  or  with the digram œu (which tend to take over the schwa  in french) but this last case could anyway not happen here because of the nasalization of the o. The facts that the affricate get reduced to  by lenition and that then  palatalizes in english to  is correct and so ok but the rest has to be either justified by any references on this point or rewrited because it sounds like imagination or unknowing.

Illudin

The illudins are a family of sesquiterpenes with antitumor antibiotic properties produced by some mushrooms. In their isolated form, illudins show selective toxicity for myelocytic leukemia and other carcinoma cells.

Illudins are highly toxic, with little apparent therapeutic value in their natural form. Illudins are thought to be responsible for the toxicity of various Omphalotus species such as O. olearius and O. illudens (Jack o' Lantern mushrooms), and O. nidiformis (Australian ghost fungus).

Active metabolites of illudins damage DNA via an unknown mechanism. In addition, genetic analysis suggests that the illudin-mediated DNA damage is ignored by global excision repair systems unless the lesions occur within stalled replication or transcription complexes.

Old Tacoma, Tacoma, Washington

Old Tacoma is a neighborhood of the north end of Tacoma, Washington, more commonly known as Old Town.

History
Old Town owes its name to the fact that it was the location of the original settlement called "Tacoma". In 1865, Job Carr built a cabin near the shore in anticipation of future land speculation due to the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. The original cabin location is marked by a plaque at the base of Carr Street. Job Carr Cabin Museum is a replica of the original, and is situated in Old Town Park. Old Town was sustained in its early days by fishing and lumber mills.

Geography
Old Town was originally a separate community from what is now downtown Tacoma, which was at first called "New Tacoma" before the two communities merged into one.

Today the area features an historical park and a range of restaurants and shops. It is also home to two buildings on the National Historic Registry: St. Peter's Church, the first church built in Tacoma and now Tacoma's oldest existing building, and Slavonian Hall. The area is sometimes called Ruston Way, although the Ruston Way waterside walk spans far beyond the accepted bounds of Old Tacoma.

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. I am interested in clearing out the backlog on some of the deletion pages, like WP:CP and WP:PUI. I would also like to be able to deal with vandalism more effectively, though I would leave actually blocking users to the more experienced admins for now. Alr 21:06, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I am particuarly pleased with my contributions to Montreal-Mirabel International Airport. I was mostly responsible for getting it featured, and I drew two diagrams for the article. I also reasearched it and added a significant amount of content. Alr 21:06, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. I will freely admit that I have done some things in the past that may not have exactly been good, like nominating Watch/schoolwatch for deletion. I do feel, however that I have grown as a Wikipedia user, and have learned from my mistakes. Aside from those errors, I have not really gotten involved in any pressing disputes. Most controversial edits I've hade have been resolved by discussion. Alr 21:06, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Order of Ecumenical Franciscans

The Order of Ecumenical Franciscans (OEF) is a group of men and women devoted to following the examples of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Clare of Assisi in their life and understanding of the Christian gospel: sharing a love for creation and for those who have been marginalized. Leadership is shared by a five member council.

An example of Christian ecumenism, the OEF opens its membership to Christians of many different denominations, including Roman Catholics, Lutherans, Moravians, Anglicans, Methodists, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Reformed Christians, among others. The OEF understands its charism to include not only ecumenical efforts and the traditional emphases of the Franciscans in general, but also to help to develop relationships among the various Franciscan orders. Some reference books consider them one of a number of third orders of Saint Francis, other classify them separately.

Robert Fern Lyons

Robert Fern Lyons (July 1, 1856 – December 29, 1926) was a politician in the Canadian province of Manitoba. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1892 to 1895, and again from 1899 to 1914. Lyons was a member of the Conservative Party of Manitoba.

He was born at New Boyne, Canada West (now Ontario), and educated in Athens, Ontario. He later relocated to Manitoba, and worked as a farmer. Lyons was a Methodist, and an active Master freemason.

He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1892 provincial election, defeating Liberal candidate S.J. Thompson by 82 votes in the Norfolk constituency. The Liberals won this election, and Lyons served as an opposition member. He lost his constituency seat to Liberal George Rogers by 170 votes in the 1896 election.

Lyons was re-elected in the 1899 election, defeating new Liberal candidate J.G. Barron by 68 votes. The Conservatives won the election, and Lyons served as a backbench supporter of the Hugh John Macdonald and Rodmond Roblin administrations. He was re-elected in the provincial elections of 1903, 1907 and 1910.

He lost the Norfolk constituency to Liberal John Graham by 68 votes in the 1914 election. He attempted a comeback in the 1915 election, but lost by an increased majority.

Lyons died at Carberry, Manitoba, in 1926.

Talk:Rome (TV series)/Archive 3

Reminder!
This is not a discussion board for whether or not the show is correct in the history behind ancient Rome, nor is it a place to critque the show. Please be reminded that all discussions here should relate directly to the accuracy of the article itself. Please keep your opinions about the show to yourself, or kindly find another fan forum to do so, such as IMDb or HBO. MagnoliaSouth 14:53, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Second season and Rumours of a Third (?)
Okay, HBO has confirmed that Rome will be cancelled after season two. Does anyone disagree with correcting this portion of the article? MagnoliaSouth 07:31, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Is the use of language appropriate???
Generally I'm not one to complain re bad language, but even though this is in context, I think we need some way of filtering use of the word cunt. Just pointing out where some may complain! Also, Ancient rome is studied by smallish children, and they're gonna chuck "Rome" into google, getting this as the third result. Angry Parents+Lawyers=UHOH! Thefloogadooga (talk) 09:38, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Do not copy and paste!
If you look more closely, especially parts of those episode descriptions have been taken from HBO's website with verbally copy and paste. I do not see any specific information indicating any permissions. And even if on HBO's web site, those preview paragraphs are replaced with more elaborate versions, this could still result in a copyright issue. Please do not do this, and rewrite if neccessary.
 * At first I added simpler versions but several other users began pasting the official summaries. I added taken from official site to give HBO credit. Hope that solves the problem. Sfufan2005 20:04, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure it actually does solve the problem though. You see HBO has the summaries copyrighted, which means whether or not we credit them here doesn't matter. The only way we can safely copy and paste them here is if HBO provides express written permission. Would you be interested in rewriting those summaries, by chance? I'd be willing to work with you if you like. MagnoliaSouth 15:00, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Disk Details
I've added details of which DVD disk shows what. I missed episode 8 - rather, I missed what the BBC broadcast as episode 8, but is listed here as episode 9. Wrongly supposing that there would be two episodes per disk, I put disk 4 to the top of my rental list. The rental company then sent me disks 1 and 2, so it goes.

I'll fill in extra details as I see them. Unless someone wants to do so who has all of the disks. I doubt I'm the only person who only wants to see episodes they missed.

--GwydionM 21:13, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I think you're right, but I also am not quite sure how to handle the disk information. I posted a question here (the TV project page), but have gotten no response to it yet. I think it's a good idea, but I'm not sure how to handle it.

 * I know that Lost was nominated, I believe, as a FA which means that they must be doing something right. Their DVD list is here, but they don't mention the full what's on what disk thing. I suppose I could make a table and then we can enter the information there. Perhaps we can even put information on the main Rome page, like what they have at Lost and then have a separate "main article" about DVD information? What do you think? MagnoliaSouth | Talk 05:46, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your contribution, Magnoliasouth. A separate page for the DVD has been is fine. --GwydionM 12:52, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

New episode list draft
I worked on a new draft of the episode list which follows the guidelines per Episode list. It's located here. Any comments are encouraged. Please though, don't edit it but make your suggestions for improving it first on the Talk page for it. I don't want to "break" the template. If no one comments within a few days, I'll go ahead and implement it. MagnoliaSouth | Talk 05:47, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Very well done. Must more presentable and easier to read than the current list. I think that if this was to be implemented though, analogous lists of this style should be put in place for the other tables. :) - Vedexent 06:24, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Thank you very much! I can work on the style too for the other tables. I appreciate your feedback. :) MagnoliaSouth | Talk 09:23, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I have since worked on those tables as you made a very good point on the formatting of other tables to match as well. Per your suggestion, I've been working on those too. Would you mind taking a peek at those additional tables and providing me feedback, yet again? They are now located on the same page as the original list, which in turn is located here.

 * Though I am hoping for any and all feedback, I also am in particular need of feedback on the multiple use of "no image" links under secondary characters. I personally don't like it and wondered if by chance you might have an idea. Should I merge the summary section for each, until a photo is found? MagnoliaSouth | Talk 07:32, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Production credits
I'm looking over this section and am not really sure why this is here. About half of the information listed is duplicated from the episode list. The other works listed, doesn't pertain at all to Rome but to the individual listed, so if someone is interested in them, they should go to their page. While I agree that artists who were part of the Rome team should be mentioned, I don't think it fits in with the article the way it is designed. Perhaps a shorter, to the point version is in order. Comments? MagnoliaSouth | Talk 07:01, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Editing (major)
If anyone is even listening, I am in the process of making major edits on the article. The article is longer than the standard article should be to begin with, so I'm creating sub-pages and moving portions of text to those. I'm also beginning to implement the table changes as well. The plan here is to create a more solid encyclopedic article, as well as provide information that many users would like to see. All the lists and tables really doesn't belong in the main article.

Is Roman salute ever used?
Has anybody seen legionaries in this series using the Roman salute gesture. There is some controvercy if this gesture was invented in the XVII century. Mieciu K 13:23, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * In the military context, several soldiers are shown saluting their superiors. There are a two examples in The Stolen Eagle that I could find easily enough just now: when the soldier brings Caesar news of his daughter's death and when Vorenus leaves Mark Antony after being tasked to find the eagle. The salute appears to be a closed right fist against the heart then extended palm down, thumb out parallel with the ground or slightly elevated. -Anþony 22:43, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

dead people come back to life?
I'm not completely sure about this but maybe someone could clarify this. I've been watching the Rome DVD this week and I noticed to things. After Evander (Niobe's lover) gets killed by Pullo, and Niobe and her sister are at the house in distress for a second a man walks right behind them that looks just like Evander. Also after the gladiator scene, on the beginning of the next episode (upon the reenactment at the theater) there is a close up of an old man crying near the end, the cut is confusing since most of the crowd is heard cheering at the presentation, yet the man looks a lot like the last gladiator who just got killed, only without all the makeup. Are people coming back from the dead as extras in Rome? or is my tv just small and my sight poor?

 * It's just an old tv trick. They've already paid the ACTOR, so re-use him as much as they can. Just because it's the same ACTOR doesn't mean he's playing the same Character

 * Actually, if the same actor played a different character they would have to pay him again, so my guess is that it's your eyes playing tricks. TAnthony 19:35, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Egypt
I seem to remember advertising somewhere for a similar show to Rome called Egypt or something, but I haven't been able to find anything about it so I'm wondering about whether maybe I was dreaming. Maybe add a section of similar kinds of tv shows?

Reference to "Gallic Wars"
I changed the following sentence:
 * the only two "regular soldiers" mentioned in Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico.

This is not quite correct since Vorenus and Pullo in Caesar's text are centurions and thus, not rank-and-file soldiers but low-ranking oficers - and they are not the only low-ranking officers mentioned by name in the Gallic Wars: there's at least one aquilifer mentioned by name during the crossing of the Channel, and if memory serves, the aquilifer who has the idea to cut down the Venetians' sails is also mentioned by name. -- Ferkelparade π 19:19, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

patricians and plebians
The series summary section starts thusly:

 * The series is a historical drama depicting the period of history surrounding the violent transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire; a change driven by the class struggle between Patrician and Plebeian (in Latin the patricii and the plebeii)...

I haven't seen the show, so I wonder if the terms patricians and plebians are actually used therein. The two phrases denote not economic classes, but hereditary castes; while in the early days of the Roman state the patricians were rich and the plebians were poor, by Caesar's day there were plenty of wealthy plebians. The main political conflict of the period under consideration, to the extent that it could be said to be class based, were between the "populares" (populists, more or less) and "optimates" or "boni" (the best or the good). There were plebian leaders like Cicero in the optimates, generally considered the party of the rich, and patrician leaders of the populares, Caesar being the most obvious example.

Anyway, sorry to go on like this. My question is mainly if this is a mistake in the TV series or just in the article. If the former, it should be noted in the appropriate section. If the latter, it should be fixed. --Jfruh (talk) 02:30, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * There are a handful of wealthy plebeian characters, and the politics does indeed seem to center more around a populares vs. optimates conflict than a rich vs. poor conflict. I'd say the article is wrong.--24.22.147.202 23:18, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

 * This has already been corrected. TAnthony 00:08, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Trivia
Most of the trivia items were directly copied from the IMDB trivia page for this show. I've removed the copied items. Orpheus 13:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

 * The dispute about vocative (or lack thereof) is asinine. Why don't people greet each other as Vorene and Tite?  It is silly to expect them to decline nouns, even if the terms are used almost exclusively in vocative.  I would delete the portion about domina/dominus, but it would most likely be restored the next day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.91.102.185 (talk • contribs) 23:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I've moved the entire trivia section here (see my notes below):
 * Leatherwork for the principal actors was done on set by Augusto and Giampaolo Grassi, using the traditional techniques used by their father to create the leatherwork for such classic films as Cleopatra.
 * These individuals did apparently work on series, but I can find nothing (IMDB.com, etc) to establish that they are related to the costumers of 1963's Cleopatra. The worked on a 1999 TV version of Cleopatra, is that a source of confusion?.
 * The words "domina" and "dominus" are practically the only Latin words the cast uses regularly. Nevertheless, as they are always used as vocative, the masculine form should be "domine". Moreover, the spoken Latin of the higher classes is inadequately close to ecclesiastical late Latin. The word "bene" and the greeting "salve" are also heard. Finally, many prayers to the Roman gods are uttered in the original Latin.
 * Original research/Not notable
 * A few Italian expressions are occasionally used in dialogues (perhaps as a sort of "fake Latin"), "paisàn", ("buddy" in the dialect of Naples), and Mark Antony is once heard saying "che brutta figura!" ("what an ugly impression" [I must have made]).
 * Original research/Not notable/Just dumb TAnthony 01:17, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Possible inaccuracy in the "Historical deviations" section
The very first bullet point in the section states that Egypt is inaccurately portrayed as too ancient-Egyptian. However, unlike the earlier Ptolemies, Cleopatra had a keen interest in ancient Egyptian language and culture, and did much to resurrect the waning Egyptian religion and customs. Doubtless, Egypt during her reign was still very much Hellenic, but is it possible that she "re-Egyptized" it at least to some extent? I do not have sufficient expertise in the history of antiquity to edit this portion of the article, but I believe that this is something the experts should consider. As it is, the statement in question appears facile to me. When all facts are taken into account, the degree of the show's departure from history in this regard is probably difficult to assess.Redisca 17:13, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Hi, I was the one who added that bullet point. I've since revised it to be more precise, but basically, it comes down to this: You're right in that Cleopatra was more interested in Egyptian culture than her predecessors. But that's not the big picture: The point is that in the episode, we don't see a single trace of Greek culture, when actually it should have been visible everywhere. And not in a small way. The best example is Alexandria, where most of the action takes place: It was a Greek city; meaning Greek architecture, a mostly Greek population wearing Greek costume, and a Greek-style royal palace with Greek-style guards. This is all verifiable - check out the relevant wikipedia entries if you're in doubt (many of them are linked to in the entry on the Caesarion episode). Now compare to what we see in that episode: Ancient Egyptian-style buildings and courtiers, soldiers and inhabitants wearing costumes that have no resemblance to anything historical other than Ancient Egypt (wigs etc.), and not a single hint at Greece. I don't think that makes the degree of the show's departure from history difficult to assess at all, if I may say so. Frederic Anklin 17:09, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I'd echo the point by Redisca; Cleopatra was of course Greek but was also self-consciously immersed in all things Egyptian, probably from political necessity though maybe also from a young age, and this was the image broadcast to the Romans: for example here, her worship as Isis. The show portrays Egypt from Rome's pov so it's fair that it appears v Egyptian.  No reason to make it look Greek, I mean if the audience knows who the Ptolemys are, as the Romans did, there's no need to. Hakluyt bean 02:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Much of ancient (pre-Christian) Alexandria had Egyptian architecture and statuary in place. In order to make nice with the Egyptian people, many of the Ptolemys brought statues and other artwork from other parts of Egypt to Alexandria to "dress it up". Many of these "recycled" artifacts wound up under Alexandria harbor. They are now being recovered by marine archaeologists such as Jean Yves Empereur. Check out the PBS website on his recent dives . Additionally, the Divernet website shows several images of artifacts still in the water of Alexandria harbor, and almost all of them are classic Egyptian artifacts: sphinxes, stelae, etc. The city of Alexandria had become a hodgepodge of styles by Cleopatra VII's day. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.142.75.231 (talk) 02:36, 9 March 2007 (UTC).

The line about chain mail armor being anachronistic is incorrect. Mail is not a medieval invention. The armor called lorica hamata was chain mail and was in use before show's period. The armor made of iron strips, known as loric segmentata, was also in use at this time but is a later development than the chain mail. Mail is extremely expensive and time consuming to produce. Lorica segmentata does not prvise the same flexibility but is easier to produce. It came into use when earlier armor had been lost in great numbers and new armies were raised, such as in the reforms of Marius or after Teutoburg Forest. See Wikipedia article on mail or other book on Roman armor, such as "Warriors of Rome" by Michael Simkins 1988 KeithJonsn 13:00, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

 * It was recently added and obviously in correct, so I took it out. Thanks. TAnthony 20:46, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Number of episodes in Season 2
Will there only be ten episodes in season 2? Is there any good source available yet on the number of episodes?--thirty-seven 20:41, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Removed "Historical deviation"
I removed the following line from the "Historical deviations" section:

Cato is portrayed as an old man, while in history he was only in his 40s. {This is a somewhat ridiculous note. In this period, the average life expectancy for a plebian would have been around 35-40, while the upper classes could probably expect to live to perhaps 50. A man of 40 would be an 'old man'.}

Cato was 48 or 49 at the time of his death. Karl Johnson, who plays Cato, was around 56 years old when he played the role of Cato. That's not a terribly large difference. Also, as the note on the end of the of the line suggests, differences in life expectancy and living conditions would likely account for the difference between the charcter's appearance and how modern people from industrialized countries would expect a man in his late 40s to look. If anyone disagrees with this, feel free to do so. Thanks. Jim Campbell 00:16, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Could someone remove the line that 'there is no mention of the Battle of Dyrrachium,' while not mentioned by name, the series clearly alludes to it by putting the words into the mouth of Pompey; 'stike, we've already struck.' Apologies as to the lack of User cert.

Created by
Removed a note that said the project was mostly developed by a British cast and crew. First off, casts have next to nothing to do with the actual development of a TV show like this (ie, no stars). Second, John Millius and William J. MacDonald are both Americans, while Bruno Heller has lived in Los Angeles for 10 years (this is the trio that created and developed the show) RoyBatty42 19:32, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

historical deviation - fighting techniques
''Battle scenes in Rome depict Roman infantry fighting techniques including the tightly-packed "Roman Wall" of shields, gladius thrusting techniques above and below the "shield wall", and the rotation of troops on the front lines every 1 to 2 minutes. These techniques are largely conjectural, as we have no such detailed descriptions surviving to us. However, they are possible considering Roman ingenuity and the need to replenish the front ranks during times of intense combat. Rotation of troops is unlikely to have taken place as frequently as 1 to 2 minutes, however.''

I was wondering if it's considered unlikely to have been 1 or 2 min rotations (and I don't know whose opinion this is) then why did the programme-makers give that impression? Also the bit about 'Roman ingenuity' I'd replace; it's common sense + a number of things: different culture (celtic tribes had a warrior culture which extolled the individual, and 'pound for pound' are commonly regarded to have been bigger and better, but this didn't lend itelf to co-ordinated tactics) sharp sense of patriotism (celtic peoples lacked this), virtue of group discipline - it's a big subject. Hakluyt bean 02:53, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

It's mentioned that the earliest European fighting manual is I33, but there are many depictions in mosaic and stone form of legionary combat aren't there? EG Trajans column? Atillashardermate 10:43, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

On that last point, Vegetius' De Re Militaris is a late Roman treatise which among other things gives details of the old legionary training methods and fighting techniques. The use of the sword to stab rather than slash in the series' depiction of combat is straight out of Vegetius. See http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~madsb/home/war/vegetius/dere03.php#07 85.211.0.104 (talk) 02:53, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

The Skull on a Wheel Mosiac
What God(s) are the Skull on the Wheel Mosiac connected to? It is the very first image shown in the opening credits, and appears time to time in the series. I remember it at Pompeys military camp; so I assumed it may be Mars. I've looked on Wikipedia under Skulls symoblism and Deathshead but can find nothing, so someone could add them to one of those. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.63.200.178 (talk) 04:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC).
 * It sounds like 'a skull sur-mounted by an alpha (letter A) and resting on a wheel' which according to a jstor article which I cannot read in full atm describes a mosaic apparently found at Pompeii. Fortuna Populi Romani ( Fortuna ) I think it's meant to be.  Skull mortality, butterfly soul, wheel of fortune. Someone should find out from the programme-makers tho before it goes in the article.
 * edit - ok, forget jstor, who won't let me read their articles for any price, so far as I can tell. This is actually the mosaic here.
 * naturalistic depiction of a skull and the tools of a mason, expresses allegorically the transience of life and the impending nature of death. It is the libella, the level, from which hangs the plumb-line -the instrument that serves to control the levelling of a construction- that symbolises all equality: from its ends hang in perfect equilibrium the symbols of power (the sceptre and the royal purple) and on the right, the sack and the stick, symbols of poverty.
 * So now we know :)

Attention Rome Fans
I recommend heeding the above advice, click here and voice your opinion on a third season. It's not often we get good historical dramas, especially period pieces so purpose built and extravagant! Let's push them to keep it coming. :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 211.30.75.123 (talk) 04:44, 8 April 2007 (UTC).

 * Good idea, but why everytime we see the TV series or movies about Rome, they are about the history since Caesar or after him, the history about Roman Republic before him is not so attractive as a subject matter of TV or movie? ——Nussknacker胡桃夹子^.^tell me... 09:48, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

For those of you worried about the TV show ending, there are plans to make a film of Robert Graves I, Claudius. This recounts the internecine plots and counterplots surrounding Claudius, the fourth emperor of Rome, who ruled from 41-54 AD. The novel's period covers the time from the end of the first Emperor Augustus' reign to the crowning of Nero. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.176.166.228 (talk) 11:42, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

controversy
Different edits don't necessarily mean controversy, even if not everyone is happy. Particularly the RAI edit, where I don't think there can have been any expectation of showing all the sex and nudity. In that sense the edit is 'normal' rather than 'controversial'. Hakluyt bean 12:30, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Why does Cato Jr. always wear a black robe?
Does that mean that he has a special status or something else in the Senate? It makes him conspicuous in the Senate while the others wear the white ones. ——Nussknacker胡桃夹子^.^tell me... 09:52, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

veni vidi vici
Some important events are not mentioned in Rome, including Caesar's campaign against King Pharnaces of Cimmeria (the campaign which spawned the famous saying Veni, Vidi, Vici)

this IS mentioned, Caesar is holding a party where he says the people of Pontus are weak and it was no wonder Pompei defeated them so easily.

so it is mentioned 81.69.203.77 06:51, 12 April 2007 (UTC) Mallerd 07:32, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

As the title says.--JSH-alive 06:29, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes. This was announced far and wide in Italian media, but very sparingly in the US and UK. See for one of the few examples where the three-way coproduction is mentioned. It is also discussed here:  (this latter link also discusses how the series flopped in Italy). Still, both the BBC and HBO official websites state that the series was a coproduction between the two of them alone. (The official Italian website of the fiction on the RAI server  obviously disagrees and actually discusses the three-way production extensively.) Methinks this divergence should be mentioned somewhere in the article. --Nehwyn 08:43, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

fighting inaccuracies
deleted this: "The use of whistles rather than trumpets for signals, however, is anachronistic." my reason being that jonathan stamp asserts trumpets were used for large-scale communication while whistles were used in the small group.

also, this entire paragraph seems unnecessary or out of place. given that there are only 2 or 3 battles in the entire series, why include this kind of nitpicking in the section on major deviations? indeed, the fighting is not strictly an "inaccuracy" in that, lacking evidence, neither the series creators nor the wikipedia author know exactly how accurate or inaccurate Rome's portrayal was. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

Redundant list
Be Black Hole Sun has created Rome (season 1), a list which is redundant of List of Rome episodes and also includes redundant award/nomination information copied from this main article. The editor insists this new list is "needed" and "supposed to exist" because Stargate SG-1 and other series have such "season" articles/lists. I have redirected the new list purely for the sake of its redundancy, but Be Black Hole Sun maintains that the new list is needed. I have tried to explain that in the case of Rome, there are a finite number of episodes, and the existing list is not so large or cumbersome as to need to be split itself. The new list has no additional information that, if merged into the existing list, would make it too large or cumbersome. Stargate SG-1, by comparison, is a series with many seasons and many episodes, and the additional information included in each "season" article would make the already-overblown List of Stargate SG-1 episodes completely unmanageable (though I actually think most of the Stargate season articles are themselves somewhat redundant and lacking in additional information). Despite Be Black Hole Sun's assertion here that I am the "the only person which has anything against this," I believe I'm simply the only person who has noticed Rome (season 1) thus far. I'd appreciate other editors weighing in on the issue. — TAnthonyTalk 02:45, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Hariton Pushwagner

Terje Brofos (2 May 1940 – 24 April 2018), better known by stage name Hariton Pushwagner, was a Norwegian Pop artist.

Early life and education
Born as Terje Brofos during a bomb attack in May 1940, he grew in Berg, a neighborhood in the North End of Oslo. In 1944, he was severely injured in a traffic accident. His father Fritjof was an engineer who struggled with alcohol. His mother Elsa worked as a biochemist and would eventually leave her husband.

During his youth, he excelled in both summer and winter sports. He became one of Norway's best tennis players and in 1955 played in a doubles final for the Norwegian championship with Arne Melander, a match which the duo lost.

Pushwagner finished his education at the State's School of Art and Design of Oslo in 1959. He stated that he quit drawing for a period after his studies and that he struggled for several years to find his personal style.

Career
Pushwagner described himself as a spiritual student of Norwegian author Axel Jensen, whom he met at Kunstnernes Hus in 1968. Pushwagner and Jensen lived together for a time, partly in an apartment in Oslo, Norway and partly in Fredrikstad, Norway; Stockholm, Sweden and Menorca, Spain. Pushwagner illustrated Jensen's book Og resten står skrivd i stjernene/And the Rest is Writ(ten) in the Stars (1995). Fascinated by comics since childhood, Pushwagner was inspired to start the series "Soft City" and "Doktor Fantastisk" during this period.

Pushwagner won back the rights to his drawings from Morten Dreyer in 2009.

In July 2012, London-based publisher Art / Books published an extensive monograph on his work to coincide with an exhibition at MK Gallery in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom that subsequently toured to Haugar Vestfold Kunstmuseum in Norway and Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in the Netherlands.

Personal life and death
Pushwagner was twice divorced and had two daughters.

He was diagnosed with lung cancer and died at Diakonhjemmet Hospital on 24 April 2018. He was 77.

He is buried at Our Saviour’s cemetery in Oslo.

'''The main goal is that Wikipedia on .NET would be the reference of all issues related to .NET technology.

Tasks

 * September 2005:
 * Complete all categorization and stub tags as well as {attention} tags or {cleanup} tags into articles before taking care of the content.

 * 1) Categorize all the remaining articles related to .NET. We will revise this task before the end of September 2005. (In progress)
 * 2) Make sure there are no duplicate categorization in a single article. Category:.NET programming languages is child of Category:.NET. (In progress)
 * 3) Tag {stubs} on short articles.
 * 4) Check for any articles that need {attention} tags or {cleanup}.

 * October 2005:
 * reinvent the structure of articles and discuss them on the project talk page.

 * November 2005:
 * Start the hard work; concentrate on content.

Adopt an article
Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

Stub templates

 * compu-stub

Other templates
Add templates here if you see suitable.

Categories

 * Category:.NET
 * Category:.NET programming languages

Assessment

Wikipedia articles on .NET

 * Microsoft .NET

New Wikipedia articles related to .NET
Please feel free to list your new .NET-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Main Wikipedia page. DYK has a 72 hr. time limit from the creation of the article.

Requests
Please Cleanup and remove biased information in this article: Comparison of C sharp to vb dot net

 * I have used both these languages extensively since .NET emerged and I don't really find too much to complain of in the linked article. In fact, I think it's a pretty good comparison, better than I see most places on the web.  The one thing I would add would be a discussion of the Windows Designer added to C#, which makes it competitive with VB for rapid development.  I might also add a mention of the fact that VB has nearly twice as many keywords as C#, which probably says something about the two languages but I'm not sure what--that VB takes longer to learn all of it?  That it provides some extra help for some things?  Anyway, would you mind clarifying why you consider the article biased?  Or has it been cleaned up already?

Tifosi

Tifosi is a group of supporters of a sports team, especially those that make up a tifo.

Etymology
The word Tifosi comes from Ancient Greek "typhos" (τῦφος), meaning smoke, as it was customary for spectators of the Ancient Olympic Games to celebrate the victories of their favourite athletes by reuniting around a bonfire. The plural Tifosi is used for a mixed gender or an all-male group; masculine singular is tifoso, feminine singular tifosa, feminine plural tifose.

Football
The word is mainly used to describe fans of clubs in football. Apart from the many local fan clubs in Italy, whose main role is, for example, to provide a meeting place for fans and friends and organize away trips, since the late 1960s, many Italian fans rely on organized stadium groups known as ultras. The main goal is to choreograph fan support with flags, banners, coloured smoke screens, flares, drums, and chanting in unison. For most teams city rivalries, colours, coat of arms, symbols, and the overall iconography have roots in the Middle Ages and early Renaissance.

A fictional depiction of a tifoso in football is shown in Tifosi, an Italian film released in 1999.

Formula One
It has become common to use the word "tifosi" to refer to the supporters of Scuderia Ferrari in Formula One. Italian motor racing fans are well known for their love of Ferrari, though they have also been staunch supporters of other Italian cars such as Maserati, Lancia, and Alfa Romeo.

The tifosi provide Formula One with a sea of red filling the grandstands at the Italian Grand Prix. One of the most common tifosi sights is the display of an enormous Ferrari flag in the grandstands during Formula One weekends at every race circuit, with especially large contingents showing up in Ferrari livery at home and nearby European tracks. A similar sight could be observed in former years during the San Marino race, which was held at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari near the town of Imola, 80 km (49.7 mi) east of the Ferrari factory in Maranello.

The tifosi in Italy have been known to actually cheer for a non-Italian driver in a Ferrari passing an Italian driver in another make of car. At the 1983 San Marino Grand Prix, the crowd at Imola cheered long and loud when Italian Riccardo Patrese crashed his Brabham out of the lead of the race only 6 laps from home, handing Frenchman Patrick Tambay the win in his Ferrari. Patrese himself had only passed Tambay for the lead half a lap earlier.

One driver who never actually drove for Ferrari but is supported by the tifosi is Frenchman Jean-Louis Schlesser. He drove for the Williams team at the 1988 Italian Grand Prix at Monza substituting for an ill Nigel Mansell. On lap 49 of the 51 lap race, Schlesser was unwittingly involved in the incident at the Variante del Rettifilo chicane that took out the leading McLaren-Honda of Ayrton Senna, fittingly handing Ferrari's Gerhard Berger and Michele Alboreto an emotional 1–2 Italian Grand Prix result only a month after the death of Enzo Ferrari. Berger's win handed McLaren their only loss of the 16-race season.

The tifosi stuck by Ferrari during the struggles in the early 1990s, where Gerhard Berger and Jean Alesi each won one race, as the front-running teams were McLaren, Williams, and Benetton. The mid-1990s increase in the ranks of the tifosi can be directly traced to the arrival of Michael Schumacher who joined Ferrari in 1996, after winning two drivers' titles with Benetton, bringing over key personnel like Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne. Schumacher drove for Ferrari until his first retirement at the conclusion of the 2006 season, leading the team to six Constructors' Championship from 1999–2004 and personally winning five drivers' championships.

When Ferrari's Charles Leclerc won at Monza 2019, which was the first time for the team since 2010, a massive crowd of tifosi went to the podium to celebrate the victory. As revealed by David Croft during the podium celebration, there is a strained relationship between the tifosi and Mercedes, who have won in Monza from the start of the turbo hybrid era in 2014 to 2018. Whenever a Mercedes won the Italian GP, or made the podium, the tifosi would boo at the driver.

Cycling
The word is commonly used to describe fans along the roadside at professional road cycling races in Italy such as Tirreno–Adriatico, Milan–San Remo, the Giro d'Italia, and the Giro di Lombardia.

Passionate supporters of Italian cycling teams and cyclists are called "the tifosi".

Longevity claims
Acctorp, unless Wikipedia wants to list the 940+ verified 110+ cases, I do strongly suggest not adding longevity claims below age 113. They are far too numerous. Note the 'oldest people' lists generally have a top-10 list, and the list generally goes down to 112 1/2 at the lowest, more often age 113. If someone claims to be 110 and doesn't have the documents, that's not yet encyclopedic-worthy.→ R Young {yak ł talk } 22:43, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Since you're a trusted editor, I'll take your word on this gay pornographic actor, but if you want it to stay, it should probably have a source, because "gay pornographic actors" are, as you know, among the favorite creations of vandals, and someone will probably remove it before long without checking the history.

Paul Reinman
Thanks very much for your help on this, tracking down an important bio fact that I could not. I'm sorry to hear Reinman has not been with us for sometime; what with Gerald Ford being 93, and Creig Flessel being in his 90s, I was hoping this Silver Age witness might still be around. How did you find it? --Tenebrae 14:37, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
