Used after heart valve transplants?
Is this drug used to prevent rejection following cadaveric heart valve transplants? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.169.242.226 (talk) 14:25, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Correction
I'm just deleting a line within the article -

Other side effects include osteoporosis,reduced immune response,hunger,emotional efects and gassiness.

Osteoporosis is mentioned in the previous sentence, and immune suppression is discussed earlier in the article, so it's a redundant sentence. Cheers, Dylan.

Corticosteroid misconceptions
Personally, I read a wack of things from linguistics to anatomy. I don't just read the nice happy-bunny stuff, but I enjoy controversial things too that would make most people wince. Guess I'm weird. One funny internet myth that I detect from my google searches is a dangerous confusion between corticosteroids and anabolic steroids.

While they are both types of "steroids", the name only refers to their chemical similarity, not their similarity vis-a-vis their functionality within the human body. There are many comical posts available online from people who unfortunately mistake these two very different chemicals. They honestly are mistaken in thinking that they are going to look like Arnold Schwarzennagger if they take prednisone. Yikes!

So I'm just thinking that since Wikipedia is meant to be NPOV in its information, it would be a positive move to add a section about popular myths and misconceptions like this one. (And I know, some may object to anyone taking steroids for bodybuilding because of many countries illegalizing its use for recreational purposes but again Wikipedia isn't about hasty puritanical judgement. It's just here to display facts to promote knowledge and education.) Dunno. Thoughts? --Glengordon01 04:34, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

 * There are generally misconceptions as to what the word "steroid" means. Plants produce steroids. Also, your talk page, and the  "Arnold schwarzennagger" made me giggle. James.Spudeman 21:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Topical corticosteroids
Could topical corticosteroids cause adrenal suppresion? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Happathyapathy (talk • contribs) 03:39, 22 January 2007 (UTC).

Increased sex drive
The article notes that prednisone can cause increased sex drive, which appears to be the opposite of what I find in a google search: prednisone reduces sex drive. I will edit accordingly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ppe42 (talk • contribs) 02:05, 30 March 2007 (UTC).

Side Effects List
For each side effect listed, major and minor, two parameters are of interest: (a) the fraction of patients who would experience this side effect, and (b) the severity of this side effect on quality of life. A debilitating side effect that affects only a few could be as undesirable as a benign side effect that affects a majority. I wish someone could provide such additional information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LoopTel (talk • contribs) 22:12, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Is there a doctor in the house?
I'm a layman who requested a citation for a recently added statement in section Dependency, "For those on chronic therapy, alternate-day dosing may preserve adrenal function, thereby reducing side effects", simply because I have not heard of this approach before. The citation offered was "(see "Dosing Considerations")." I'm still somewhat uncomfortable after reading the citation, so I'm asking for a professional opinion: Does the citation support the statement? No disrespect intended to the original submitter, but I get antsy about broad statements that might induce someone to change their drug regimen, even if this is only Wikipedia. --CliffC 23:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Please see the disclaimer: you should not be using WikiPedia for medical information, you MUST see a doctor! --Vlad|-> 22:01, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Stay calm, I'm not counting on Wikipedia for accuracy in anything. As I say above, "No disrespect intended to the original submitter, but I get antsy about broad statements that might induce someone to change their drug regimen, even if this is only Wikipedia."  It bothers me when I see postings where the poster repeats what he saw at some poorly-written source then can't come up with a decent citation, or worse yet, is just offering information based on personal belief.  Thanks for responding.  --CliffC 00:42, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm calm, but you're right about a point: this is WikiPedia, the free encyclopedia that ANYONE (including you! :D) can edit. So of course I guess that if you think something is wrong, the best thing to do is to fix it! All the best! --Vlad|-> 20:36, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

History
There may be a problem. My father, who died of Hodgkins Disease in 1962, was taking Prednisone (and later the generic hydrocortisone) for several years... and complaining bitterly about the high price of the former. Dick Kimball 06:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

new question
Perhaps someone can answer this question! I take pred for my cluster headaches! I have been on several tapers, the last one in June of this year! If I go below 10 mg. my headaches come back! If I stay at 10 mg. I have few or none! My question is, if I stay on 10Mg. is that dose enough to still effect the other bad things that come in higher doses?InsertformulahereThanks, EOD
 * Again, see my previous answer to a similar question: WikiPedia CAN NOT replace a real doctor! So only a doctor can give you an accurate answer to your question! --Vlad|-> 22:04, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with the above, you need to see a doctor. All I can tell you is my own experience - I have just re-started prednisone for a recurring erythema nodosum, and in my previous attempts to wean off the drug, if I ever went down below 5 or 10 mg/day, my condition sometimes would have a rebound flare-up.  Even at 5 mg/day, there can be long-lasting side-effects, such as osteoporosis, and lingering Cushing's Sydrome.  Talk to a doctor or a pharmacist.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shanninsky (talk • contribs) 11:48, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Capitalization
This article mainly uses P/prednisone at the beginnings of sentences. It's hard to tell whether it is a proper name or not ... I'll use a non-wiki source to figure it out. Boris B (talk) 23:11, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Good point. Prednisone isn't a proper name. I'll try to reword a sentence to illustrate this fact. WDavis1911 (talk) 20:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

History, again
Hate to nitpick, but this sentence:

"Prednisone was invented in the early 1950s when Arthur Nobile at Schering, strep throat demonstrated that the side-effects of cortisone, such as water retention, high blood pressure and muscle weakness, could be removed by oxidisation of the drug through exposure to microbes."

...just doesn't parse. Some words are needed between "Schering" and "strep throat," otherwise it makes no sense. Thanks. --User:Myles Callum —Preceding unsigned comment added by MylesCallum (talk • contribs) 06:22, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

 * You're not being picky - you just found an random nonsense edit from a few weeks ago. Fixed now. -- MarcoTolo (talk) 20:22, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Ceruloplasmin
Can anyone confirm that Prednisone can increase Ceruloplasmin levels? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tradingbr (talk • contribs) 17:49, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Prednisone for the eyes
My eye doctor uses Prednisone for my PIC. I thought it was just to help with my Avastin injections in my eye, but according to this article it looks like he is trying to prevent the primary problem of the PIC-- which is my white blood cells destroying my retinas. Does anyone have any actual documented information about this? Thank you. KatTrombone (talk) 16:22, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Prednisolone Acetate (produced as a 1% ophthalmic suspension by Allergan) is also used following cataract surgery in some cases.32.97.110.56 (talk) 19:09, 30 April 2010 (UTC)Dave

Apparently it is also used to treat post-operative PRK eye surgery (e.g., brand name Pred Forte) as eye drops, to avoid scar tissue formation during healing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.81.141.90 (talk) 21:56, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

prednisone side effects
Prednisone taken for long periods &/or high doses has very serious side effects not emphasized in the general article. My husband has both legs amputated above the knee [infected again], blind, impotent & internal damage such as an enlarged heart. The worse result was the masking of diabetes until it was too late. prednisone diabetes coricosteroids cvro--Buddyboy999 (talk) 16:30, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

What is considered "long term" use of prednisone? My husband has been on it for 2/12 - 3 months. This med causes brittle bones and my husband just broke a rib by cleaning the toilet. I've noticed mood swings as well as adema in his ankle. From discussing the matter with family members who are in the medical profession, a mild antidepressant is commonly prescribed with Prednisone. At what point in time is that supposed to happen?

Malia —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.171.1.2 (talk) 17:14, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

COPD
My Mother's Doctor insist that she has COPD and prescribes Prednisone to treat it, which in turn drives her blood sugar above 400. I have not seen anything that indicates Ped as a treatment for COPD. Is it used for COPD? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.157.54 (talk) 01:24, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

New template added
I have added the expert template with hopes of getting some more eyes on this article to help clean it up and make it a better article. I came to this article for information as a reader not an editor and found it to be of no use to me as it is, sorry. I will also notify the wiki projects listed above that may have an interest in this article. Thanks, -- Crohnie Gal Talk  12:54, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Half-life of 1 hour?
Who put that the half-life of prednisone is 1 hour? I don't think that is true, and it concerns me because 1-2 hours is the time of peak bio absorption. The half-life is 3.4 to 3.8 hours. This drug is active in humans for almost 36 hours: how could that be with a half-life of only 1 hour? Makes no sense to me. A physician or Ph.D biochemist care to comment? Jack B108 (talk) 21:03, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

 * OK, I should have checked more carefully before the above post, as it appears that 1 h is the biological half-life of this drug. Perhaps the confusion is in that prednisone is not the active drug: its metabolite prednisolone is the important agent, and it has a longer plasma half-life. Jack B108 (talk) 21:17, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

OK, but the article should mention that the half-life of prednisolone is more important than the half-life of prednisone. Also, the wiki page for prednisolone says the half-life is 2-3 hours, yet my doctor and http://www.globalrph.com/corticocalc.htm both report that the half-life of "prednisone" (not specifying the active drug) is 18 to 36 hours. 99.28.64.176 (talk) 02:49, 23 December 2010 (UTC)Jack Schmidt (not Jack B108) 22 December 2010

History again
Is there a source for this?

"The patent though was stolen by Arthur Nobile and a patent war ensued, Nobile was fired from Schering Corporation, but the patenter name was never changed to Hershel Herzog and William Charney."

Pretty much everything I've found so far indicates that Nobile was the patenter and I've found no other mention of any "patent war" or other dispute. Could just be my failing at search engine navigation. Scott Stillwell, 26 May 2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.169.55.153 (talk) 06:14, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

first time
one time user should I be worried about side effects? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.103.52.47 (talk) 19:02, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Micrograph context
The micrograph of a fatty liver is excellent, but is likely very difficult to interpret for those who are not used to studying histological sections of normal livers. The image would be more useful if a normal tissue section was included as a separate panel so that the reader can easily see the difference.

IUPAC name wrong?
I observe that the IUPAC name for Prednisone differs very substantially from Cortisone even though the only difference is a diene -> ene. IANAOC, and I know small changes in structure CAN lead to vastly different namings, but in this case, since the "front to back" nature of the molecule doesn't change, I am surprised by the profound difference. Can someone check this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.109.148.145 (talk) 10:48, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Important side effect (potentially fatal): Adrenal insufficiency/ failure
Include additional warnings : 1.Patients to carry steroid card/wear medical tag during treatment, and for up to 1year after cessation 2.Should not be stopped abruptly, due to risk of acute adrenal insufficiency (Addisonian crisis). 3.Should be weaned down/ off treatment only under medical supervision. 4.To seek medical attention/ advice in event of vomiting/ diarrhoea, due to risk of acute adrenal insufficiency from inadequate absorption of the tablets 5.Adrenal failure is sometimes permanent, necessitating adrenal steroid supplementation (cortisol) for life. 6.Untreated adrenal failure / acute insufficiency is fatal. 7.Prescribers should counsel patients regarding this matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.30.120.160 (talk) 08:20, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Michael Ricketts

Michael Barrington Ricketts (born 4 December 1978) is an English former footballer. He played as a striker and was capped once by England, in a friendly against the Netherlands in 2002.

Ricketts had a 14-year career which saw him play for Walsall, Bolton Wanderers, Middlesbrough, Leeds United, Stoke City, Cardiff City, Burnley, Southend United, Preston North End, Oldham Athletic and Tranmere Rovers.

Walsall
Ricketts began his career at Walsall, for which he signed in 1996. He made 76 league appearances for them, scoring 14 times.

Bolton Wanderers
In July 2000, First Division side Bolton Wanderers signed him for £400,000. He started his Bolton career in impressive style, scoring 24 times as theyn won promotion to the Premier League through the playoffs. His finest moments at Bolton Wanderers include sealing victory against Preston North End in the Division One Play-off final in 2001 and scoring the winning goal at Old Trafford in a 2–1 win for Bolton over Manchester United in the 2001–02 Premier League season.

Ricketts continued scoring in his first season in the Premier League, hitting 15 goals by February, and this form led to his call-up for England's friendly against the Netherlands in February 2002. Ricketts played 45 minutes in that game but failed to score, and subsequently did not score for Bolton again all season.

Middlesbrough
In January 2003, Middlesbrough spent £3.5 million to sign him from Bolton. He failed to recapture his goal-scoring form, netting just four times in 38 matches. While at Middlesbrough he did, however, win the League Cup in the 2003–04 season, coincidentally against Bolton.

Leeds United
In June 2004, he signed for Championship side Leeds United on a free transfer. Ricketts failed to impress, failing to score in 25 league appearances, although he did manage a solitary goal in the League Cup against Swindon Town.

Loans to Stoke, Cardiff and Burnley
He was then loaned out to Stoke City in February, but also failed to impress there, and returned to Leeds. He made five more appearances, scoring once against Oldham Athletic, again in the League Cup. He was then loaned out to Cardiff, where he scored four goals in 11 appearances, before returning to Leeds. On 30 January 2006 he signed for Championship side Burnley in a loan deal that would keep him at Turf Moor until the end of the season. Despite scoring twice in his first three matches against Plymouth Argyle and Ipswich Town, he again failed to impress (he did not score again) and returned to Leeds after the season had finished.

Move to Southend
On 30 June 2006, Ricketts signed a two-year deal with Championship side Southend United with an option to extend for another year. A clause in the contract he signed stated that he was prohibited from playing against Leeds United. However, after only a couple of months into the new season, Southend released Ricketts on the basis that he was overweight and had put on weight since joining the club, questioning his level of fitness.

Preston and Oldham
After leaving Southend, Ricketts joined Preston North End, playing a handful of games for their first team. In March 2007 he scored the winner against Ipswich Town. However, Ricketts' fitness and his inability to break into the first team on a regular basis led to him being released by Preston on 8 May 2007, again leaving him without a club until being picked up by Oldham Athletic, for whom he signed until 2010. He scored two league goals during his time at Oldham, in victories over Swansea City and his former club Walsall.

Walsall loan
On 2 November 2007, he returned to his first club Walsall on a three-month loan from Oldham. He made his second debut for Walsall in a league match against Cheltenham Town on 3 November. On 31 January 2008, transfer deadline day, Ricketts had his contract cancelled by Oldham Athletic.

Return to Walsall
On 24 July 2008, Ricketts once again rejoined Walsall and scored nine goals in his third spell there. At the game against Southend United played at Roots Hall on 7 March 2009, Ricketts was sent off in the 14th minute when he attempted to punch Kevin Betsy. At the end of the season he was released.

Tranmere Rovers
On 14 August 2009, it was announced that Ricketts had signed a one-year deal with Tranmere Rovers (his 11th professional club). Ricketts stated playing for John Barnes was a major factor in his decision to join the club. He made his debut for the club as a substitute in a League Cup game against his former club Bolton Wanderers on 25 August. He scored his first goal for Tranmere in a 2–1 defeat at Exeter City on 19 September 2009. On 21 January 2010, Ricketts had cancelled his contract by mutual consent.

Personal life
On 17 January 2011, Ricketts pleaded guilty to a charge of common assault after punching and headbutting his ex-girlfriend. He was sentenced to a 12-month community order and fined £200 and ordered to pay £85 costs.

List of fossil sites

This list of fossil sites is a worldwide list of localities known well for the presence of fossils. Some entries in this list are notable for a single, unique find, while others are notable for the large number of fossils found there. Many of the entries in this list are considered Lagerstätten (sedimentary deposits that exhibits extraordinary fossils with exceptional preservation—sometimes including preserved soft tissues). Lagerstätten are indicated by a note in the noteworthiness column.

Fossils may be found either associated with a geological formation or at a single geographic site. Geological formations consist of rock that was deposited during a specific period of time. They usually extend for large areas, and sometimes there are different important sites in which the same formation is exposed. Such sites may have separate entries if they are considered to be more notable than the formation as a whole. In contrast, extensive formations associated with large areas may be equivalently represented at many locations. Such formations may be listed either without a site, with a site or sites that represent the type locality, or with multiple sites of note. When a type locality is listed as the site for a formation with many good outcrops, the site is flagged with a note. When a particular site of note is listed for an extensive fossil-bearing formation, but that site is somehow atypical, it is also flagged with a note.

Many formations are for all practical purposes only studied at a single site, and may not even be named. For example, sites associated with hominin, particularly caves, are frequently not identified with a named geologic formation. Therefore, some sites are listed without an associated formation.

Fiberglass molding

Fiberglass molding is a process in which fiberglass reinforced resin plastics are formed into useful shapes.

The process usually involves first making a mold and then using the mold to make the fiberglass component.

Mold making
The fiberglass mold process begins with an object known as the plug or buck. This is an exact representation of the object to be made. The plug can be made from a variety of materials, usually certain types of foam.

After the plug has been formed, it is sprayed with a mold release agent. The release agent will allow the mold to be separated from the plug once it is finished. The mold release agent is a special wax, and/or PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol). Polyvinyl alcohol, however, is said to have negative effects on the final mold's surface finish.

Once the plug has its release agent applied, gelcoat is applied with a roller, brush or specially-designed spray gun. The gelcoat is pigmented resin, and gives the mold surface a harder, more durable finish.

Once the release agent and gelcoat are applied, layers of fiberglass and resin are laid-up onto the surface. The fiberglass used will typically be identical to that which will be used in the final product.

In the laying-up process, a layer of fiberglass mat is applied, and resin is applied over it. A special roller is then used to remove air bubbles. Air bubbles, if left in the curing resin, would significantly reduce the strength of the finished mold. The fiberglass spray lay-up process is also used to produce molds, and can provide good filling of corners and cavities where a glass mat or weave may prove to be too stiff.

Once the final layers of fiberglass are applied to the mold, the resin is allowed to set up and cure. Wedges are then driven between the plug and the mold in order to separate the two.

Advanced techniques such as resin transfer molding are also used.

Making a component
The component-making process involves building up a component on the fiberglass mold. The mold is a negative image of the component to be made, so the fiberglass will be applied inside the mold, rather than around it.

As in the mold-making process, release agent is first applied to the mold. Colored gelcoat is then applied. Layers of fiberglass are then applied, using the same procedure as before. Once completed and cured, the component is separated from the mold using wedges, compressed air or both.

Eau Gallie, Florida

Eau Gallie is a section of the city of Melbourne, Florida, located on the city's northern side. It was an independent city in Brevard County from 1860 until 1969.

That year residents of Eau Gallie and Melbourne voted to merge their governments. A subsequent vote resulted in the combined jurisdiction being named Melbourne. The name and identity of Eau Gallie persists in a number of local entities and was used by the Eau Gallie Arts District Main Street, a fully accredited Florida Main Street program since 2010.

History
Eau Gallie developed as a small coastal town along the Indian River on the Florida East Coast. Brevard County, home of Eau Gallie, was named after the State Comptroller, Theodore Washington Brevard in 1855.

In 1859, the US Army sent John Caroll Houston IV to conduct a Seminole Indian census. Arriving in the Indian River area, Houston fell in love with its beauty. Houston named the area Arlington, for a community near Jacksonville where he had once lived. He took a leave of absence and applied for a soldier's land grant. Houston traveled to the area of Eau Gallie with his sons and 10 enslaved Africans. His wife joined him a year later when he had completed clearing land and building their cabin with their slaves.

The area changed little during the Civil War. Former lieutenant governor, William Henry Gleason founded Eau Gallie in 1869 as he made his way to Arlington from Miami. Gleason acquired land consisting of the entire area from the Indian River Lagoon to Lake Washington (about thirty square miles).

Eau Gallie is commonly said to mean "rocky water", since coquina rocks were found in the area. While ' means "water" in French, gallie is not a French word and may be derived from ' ("pebble" in French). Some attribute it a Chippewa word; however, Chippewa speakers lived along the northern border of the United States and Canada.

A US post office was established in 1871.

The Kentucky Military Institute wintered in Eau Gallie from 1907 to 1921.

In 1920, the population had increased to about 500 people, nearly the same as adjacent Melbourne.

In 1926, ten white men lynched a black man for allegedly raping a white woman. This was the last person lynched in the county. The perpetrators were never brought to justice.

For entertainment, the town had a "speedway" for stock car races west of Wickham Road from 1957 to about 1971.

Economy
Eau Gallie has original historic buildings, live oaks, and native plants located on the Indian River Lagoon. It is anchored by the Eau Gallie Civic Center, Public Library and Pier, as well as Pineapple Park which has a lighted gazebo under ancient live oaks along the Indian River Lagoon, Foosaner Art Museum/FIT, and the Renee Foosaner Education Center.

Eau Gallie is home to the Eau Gallie Arts District Main Street program (EGAD), an award-winning, fully accredited Florida and National Main Street organization.

This area is also home to fine art galleries and long-established businesses, as well as new entrepreneurs that have opened new businesses in the historic little city stimulated by the presence of the Eau Gallie Arts District, which boasts an Outdoor Art Museum consisting of over 30 murals, a mosaic and sculptures. The Historic Rossetter House Museum and Gardens, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, offers home tours, rental space for private events and hosts their own events.

Historic section
Eau Gallie contains a historic area with several notable museums and houses. These include: the Advent Christian Church, Foosaner Art Museum, the Ginter Building, the Historic Rossetter House Museum, the James Wadsworth Rossetter House on the National Register of Historic Places, the Karrick Building, the Roesch House, and the Winchester Symphony House.

An area of 14.31 acre, containing 31 houses, is petitioning for official recognition as a Historic District. The first permanent European-American settler, John Carroll Houston, arrived in 1859.

Namesakes
Eau Gallie Square in the Eau Gallie Arts District is a public green space with live oaks and band shell that serves as the center of some community events. This also the location of the Rocky Water Brew Fest.

Notable people

 * Tom Rapp, singer-songwriter from psychedelic folk band Pearls Before Swine moved to Eau Gallie in 1963 and graduated Eau Gallie High School in 1965.
 * Thomas Barbour, herpetologist, aged 14 years in 1898, lived in Eau Gallie with his grandmother.
 * Zora Neale Hurston, author, lived in a cottage on Guava Avenue and Fifth Street twice, first in 1929 and again in 1951.
 * Mark Boswell, film director, lived in a house at the corner of Pineapple Ave. and Montreal Blvd. from 1990 to 1992.

Talk:National Highway System (United States)

NPOV
This seems a little NPOV "NHS also will help us meet the challenges of global economic competititon by enhancing our different modes of transportation, increasing America's productivity, and bolstering its economy," any suggestions for replacement. Mbisanz 02:17, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

National Highway System
A link should be provided to Canada's National Highway System - that was already propsoed in 1988. See http://www.tc.gc.ca/ship/nhsrrn.htm for details. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.133.42.1 (talk) 21:57, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the . Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

no consensus. — Nightst a  llion  (?) 09:29, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Page move proposal
National Highway System → National Highway System (U.S.) (or similar) – There exist systems of national highways in many other countries. IMHO in the interest of NPOV and removing systemic bias National Highway System should redirect to National Highway, where I have created a disambig. — Paddu 16:42, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your opinion with ~

 * Oppose absent a showing of this specific name used elsewhere. Gene Nygaard 18:10, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * See the previous section in this page where the Canadian NHS is mentioned. -- Paddu 23:53, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * These are the first few matches for searching for the term among Indian and Pakistani websites respectively:
 * India — →  (from website of the planning commission of India),  (from the website of Parliament of India)
 * Pakistan — →  (from website of the National Highways Authority of Pakistan)
 * The number of websites in these countries is much less than the number in the U.S. due to the systemic bias in the internet and hence the number of matches for these Google searches are much less than the number of matches from U.S. websites. -- Paddu 00:11, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Support, as, even though there may be an absense of a highway system named this way, by definition they are all still national highway systems, and the US is not the only one to have one of these. SeanMD80 05:20, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment You can't ignore capitalization in that statement. That in itself is only a good argument for a disambiguation page at National highway system rather than a redirect from there to National Highway System.  A case can probably be made for this move; it hasn't been made yet.  Gene Nygaard 16:11, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose. I think I agree with Gene Nygaard here. I see that India and Pakistan have national highway systems, but it isn't obvious that they have a National Highway System. — Knowledge Seeker দ 21:19, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * India has "National Highways" and according to List of motorways and highways of Pakistan, Pakistan has too. So does that mean we should have another page at National Highway system? -- Paddu 21:25, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak support, but in principle, he's right. — Nightst a  llion  (?) 09:29, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

NPOV + Cleanup tags
The History and Justification section had been tagged as needed "cleanup" since March 2006. According to the history, this was by Jersyko, who cited his reason as, "needs cleanup; this section is written from the POV of the dept. of transportation (obviously copied from their website), thus we have words like "us" and "our" here." On May 6, 2006, I added an NPOV tag for much the same reason, including the reason that Mbisanz cited several months ago in the first topic on this talk page. On May 7, Novasource removed these tags without fixing the problems, claiming that rationale had not been provided.

Virtually the entire article has been copy and pasted from the FHWA website. If this is public domain and not copyright enfringement, that's fine, but that doesn't automatically make it encyclopedic material. The first person used throughout the history and justification section is wholly inappropriate for an encyclopedia. It requires a rewrite.

I would do the edit myself instead of tagging it, but I am not knowledgeable enough to do the rewrite.

Please do not remove these tags until the problem has actually been fixed. -- Northenglish 23:20, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Alaska Marine Highway
Should something be mentioned about the Alaska Marine Highway ferry system being part of the National Highway System? It's a vital link in Alaska (since there are no highways to most of the towns it serves) and it's interesting (to me, anyway--I didn't know) that it's considered part of the NHS and receives funding from it. cluth 21:48, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the . Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

no consensus to move the page, per the discussion below. As a consequence, I have redirected the "National Highway System" disambiguation page to National Highway, which already included references to both the Canadian and American systems and has links to more than one article. Dekimasu よ! 05:31, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * National Highway System (United States) → National Highway System.

There is no ambiguity — only one "National Highway System" has an article. Undiscussed move was made despite previous consensus against it and the target is blocked by a dubious disambiguation page. —  AjaxSmack     22:11, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Survey

 * Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with  or  , then sign your comment with  . Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

 * Support as nominator. —  AjaxSmack     22:11, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Since the US is not the only country that has a "National Highway System". Canada has one as well. -- Alan Liefting talk 05:25, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak support. If there are only two uses of National Highway System (in all caps as a proper name, not merely highway systems funded by the government), then a hatnote can be used to reference Canada's; I think the U.S.'s is considerably better known (A search on Google Canada for National Highway System unadorned lists the US page and the Wikipedia page first, for instance).  If it turns out that there are other NHS's out there, then a weak oppose.  Also, a unilateral move when there was already a requested move that failed with no new discussion on the talk page...  meh.  If there's no consensus for this move, the "default" location of no parens should be restored, as that was the old location for the article. SnowFire 19:18, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
 * There may be other National Highway Systems out there. Having National Highway System adds yet another slight increment to systemic bias. Not sure if google searches are approp to determine WP structure. Should article names be set up for least surprise or for least skewwing toward the current favourite? -- Alan Liefting talk 20:29, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia is descriptive, not prescriptive. If the US meaning really is the predominant meaning in the real world, then any "bias" is due to the outside world, not Wikipedia.  (Also, the Google Canada search was offered more as "supporting evidence," not the entire basis of the !vote.) SnowFire 21:10, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Ridiculously US-centric proposal. Still, I guess there's an even sillier precedent... State University! Andrewa 12:58, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose (as the one who moved it). The Canadian system is very similar to the U.S. one, and was probably modeled on it, but is its own entity, and is just as notable within the country. Are we also sure that there is nothing called the "National Highway System", translated into a different language? --NE2 08:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * If you unilaterally made the move to National Highway System (United States) despite the consensus above not to move it, why are you bothering to discuss it now? And if the Canadian system is so notable, why is there no article on it? —   AjaxSmack   05:33, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't look at the talk page before making what seemed to be a common-sense move. --NE2 10:19, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The result before was no consensus. That's not the same as consensus not to move. Andrewa 12:26, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Many countries have a national highway system, whether or not it is officially so called. Anthony Appleyard 16:16, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Support. Currently, the page was moved against previous discussion.  It should therefore be moved back by default for the immediate future as matter of fair process.  As to where it should go in a considered move, there's still no other article to disambiguate from, so again, the proposed location suits.  Once returned, if a new article requiring disambiguation is then created, universality would indicate a move to a parenthetically modified namespace, IMO. ENeville 15:20, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Further discussion

In reply to SnowFire's comment above ''Wikipedia is descriptive, not prescriptive. If the US meaning really is the predominant meaning in the real world, then any "bias" is due to the outside world, not Wikipedia.'': Yes, all true. But part of the dream of Wikipedia is also to be an international encyclopedia. This is in some ways the cheekiest part of the whole project, particularly in English Wikipedia, but it's there and quite upfront.

And because it's there, when we fail in it this affects our credibility far more deeply than you might at first think. If you were a student at Belarusian State University and looked up State University on Wikipedia, what would you think? If you were an Islamic activist there as well, I think you'd joyfully add a denunciation of Wikipedia to your next anti-US speech... maybe even as the keynote.

Look again at SnowFire's comment. What is the real world, and how do we measure it? How do we decide whether US meaning really is the predominant meaning in the real world? Most English-speaking Internet users are US-based, most internationally based reporters speak US English, etc. etc. etc.. So, should we just say, US English rules? This has not been policy to date. If it's to be our practice, we should at least be upfront about it.

This is not a criticism of SnowFire. They are addressing some very real and tricky issues. Andrewa 20:12, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Merge proposal

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Oppose merger and rename. The merger tags have long been removed anyway.  Imzadi 1979  →   22:40, 23 February 2012 (UTC) The United States Numbered Highways and this article should be merged because the two articles are similar. If this article talks about the general idea, it should be renamed Highways in the U.S..Jupiter.solarsyst.comm.arm.milk.universe 20:02, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose These are two different things. U.S Numbered Highways are highways which are consistent between states, but they are not Interstates. The National Highway System is similar to the National Truck Network, which consists of both Interstates and U.S. Numbered Highways. You might make a case for merging these articles into Transportation in the United States or something similar, but I think they're fine where they are. National Highway System and National Truck Network are both designated as important routes for trade, mobility, and defense; which includes both Interstates and U.S. Numbered highways, so it would make no sense to merge them into one or the other. -- ErgoSum • talk • trib  20:23, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - See Talk:United States Numbered Highways. Dough4872 (talk) 18:35, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I removed the templates, since these are very different. The NHS includes many state and local highways, and does not include many U.S. Highways that parallel Interstates. --NE2 23:42, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - makes sense to me to remove the banner. PeterEastern (talk) 12:26, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose—they not are not the same. For instance, County Road 17 (Elkhart County, Indiana) is on the National Highway System. So is the entirety of the Interstate Highway System. Many state highways, like M-6 or M-28 in Michigan, are fully included in the NHS, but U.S. Route 41 in Michigan, which is part of the United States Numbered Highway System, is not on the NHS north of Houghton, Michigan. Sorry, but this suggestion is ill-conceived and should not be implemented. Please note that we already have Numbered highways in the United States as well already, linking various articles about the different types of highway systems in the US together.  Imzadi 1979  →   12:48, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Principal arterials under MAP-21
Should "principal arterials", under Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), be added to the Overview section? The official memo from NHS, "Updated National Highway System Maps", dated September 28, 2012, would seem to suggest so. Does the prose about "Other Principal Arterials" at the main official NHS webpage refer to these same roads?

Also, the main NHS webpage distinguishes between the Strategic Highway Network (STRAHNET) and Major Strategic Highway Network Connectors, while the article currently has the rather confusing and ungrammatical prose, "The Strategic Highway Network (STRAHNET) of importance to the United States' strategic defense policy including links from major military installations and this Strategic Highway Network", for both. This looks, IMO, like it should be reworded and/or expanded, but I'm not a subject matter expert concerning this topic. Thanks, fellow roadgeeks!! --Chaswmsday (talk) 18:24, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

STRAHNET
Just something I noticed: The STRAHNET redirect on this page redirects to this page. I don’t know if that’s how it should work, but maybe it shouldn’t be a redirect? 2600:100D:B057:A934:A44E:F662:4FF2:D73F (talk) 20:04, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

 * STRAHNET highways are part of the National Highway System. What do you propose? –Fredddie™ 01:31, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Trolley Troubles

Trolley Troubles is a 1927 animated short subject film, produced by Charles Mintz and George Winkler and directed by Walt Disney. The cartoon is the first appearance of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a character that Disney and Ub Iwerks created for Universal Pictures and Charles B. Mintz.

History
In the early summer of 1927, Walt Disney finished the first Oswald cartoon, entitled Poor Papa, but Universal was not very satisfied. They had expected a more Charlie Chaplin-like character and thought Oswald was too elderly and too fat. Disney agreed to make some changes and the cartoon was not released in theatres at the time. It is possible that the film was inspired by The Toonerville Trolley (1920) short film based on the Toonerville Folks newspaper cartoon.

Instead, Oswald's second-produced cartoon was submitted for release: Trolley Troubles. Universal was pleased and the short was released by Universal on September 5, 1927.

The press loved the new cartoon series Walt made and Oswald became a popular character. From then on, a new cartoon was released every two weeks.

As for Poor Papa, it was released eventually in theatres, although Universal held it back until 1928. In total, nine Oswald cartoons were released in 1927.

The cartoon was reissued on November 23, 1931, after Walter Lantz Productions took over the Oswald series. This re-release was completed with music and sound effects.

The copyright for Trolley Troubles expired in 1955.

Plot
Oswald is preparing a trolley to transport his bunny kids and other animal characters, but there are some obstacles. The first is Clarabelle Cow who walks onto the tracks and refuses to move until Oswald drives the trolley underneath her. Oswald thinks that all is well until the hill gets steep. Oswald uses a goat to get the trolley up the hill, then down the hill.

The trolley unexpectedly goes onto a bumpy road, tossing the kids out of the trolley. Oswald prays that he will live, takes off his foot, and rubs it on his head (as per the saying that a rabbit's foot gives a good luck). Eventually, the trolley crashes into a river and becomes a raft. Oswald uses a big stick to row it downstream.

Home media
The short was released on December 11, 2007, on Walt Disney Treasures: The Adventures of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. A restored version of the short was released on Disney+ on September 7, 2023, as part of Disney's 100th Anniversary.

Hey, Valkysas, it seems that we may have convinced Elonka to leave the articles alone. I provided a nice list of about 10 sources on the talk page, and perhaps that showed enough notability to convince her. Perhaps now you can help us with the PlayStation versions articles...

Talk:Laurentian Mixed Forest Province

Definition
This article is purportedly about a region including portions of three states, yet no information is offered to define its boundaries and no citations are offered to support those boundaries. I think the whole concept is close to being non-notable in its current form.--Appraiser 13:37, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I have seen descriptions elsewhere which define the area as a transition zone between the deciduous forests to the south and the true boreal conifer forests to the north. That transition zone however is not limited to these three states.  I will see if I can dig them up.  Kablammo 14:19, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I put in some text and a cite as a placeholder; more work is needed. Kablammo 14:31, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That's a good source, adequately defining what is meant by the term "north woods" in terms of flora and fauna. Perhaps a more robust description based on those could substitute for geographic boundaries.  Since it has been added to the MN template as a "region", it should be added to Regions of Minnesota too, at some point.--Appraiser 14:57, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Take a look at Great North Woods (North Woods in New England and upstate New York). A merger may be in order.  And the North Woods Conservancy  includes southern Ontario.  All are part of the same biome (or transition area between biomes).  There is also an article on the Maine North Woods. The first 100 Google returns for "North Woods" show that the term is used for all of these areas; I found no geographic references to other areas.  The term Great North Woods appears to be a marketing/tourism slogan, as many references to the eastern part of the North American north woods do not use the modifier "great".  Kablammo 16:12, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I could definitely see a case for combining all of these, although trying to do so might cause regional squabbles.--Appraiser 16:17, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should just expand this one to its actual extent, including the entire swath of transitional forest from the Plains to the Atlantic. Kablammo 17:31, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

New England? New York?
The prose and map in section Geography do not match. Prose mentions forested New England (not New York state?). Map shows the northwester Great Lakes states only. --P64 (talk) 23:27, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Expand article
This article feels vastly incomplete, especially compared to other "regional pages." For instance, the page on the Iron Range region is a bit more useful and contains actual facts about geography, culture and politics. Seems like this could use an update. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.2.156.127 (talk) 08:35, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

history
History describes pines being logged out end of the 19th century - that was true for Wisconsin (probably central WI), but not MN. Northern MN was still being logged of pines until the 1920's. I'm too lazy to dig up the sources now. Perhaps should also mention that great wealth from the Iron Range and logging flowed into Duluth at that time, resulting in the highest per-capita of millionaires in the country at that time (so I've heard). But all that money came at the expense of the counties, which had massive tracts of tax-forfeited logged land that wasn't worth much. Poverty in much of this area rivaled that of Appalachia. Nerfer (talk) 06:14, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

great resource for defining the north woods
http://www.uwec.edu/webprojects/geog367/northwoods/

This site is full of great information for defining the actual Northwoods in the Midwest, if anyone feels like adding to this article this would be a great resource. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.150.96.50 (talk) 19:08, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Matsuba-kai

The Matsuba-kai (松葉会), meaning "Pine Needle Society," is a yakuza organization based in Tokyo, Japan. The Matsuba-kai is a designated yakuza group with an estimated 360 active members as of 2020.

The Matsuba-kai is a member of a yakuza fraternal federation named the Kantō Hatsuka-kai, along with four other Kantō-based yakuza syndicates, the Sumiyoshi-kai, the Inagawa-kai, the Toa-kai, and the Soai-kai.

History
The precursor to the Matsuba-kai was the Sekine-gumi (関根組), a yakuza gang founded in Sumida, Tokyo in 1936 by a bakuto named Masaru Sekine. In 1946, they were involved in the Shibuya incident where they fought for control of the local black markets. The Sekine-gumi rapidly expanded, but in 1947 many members were arrested by US occupation authorities for firearms possession, resulting in the group's disbandment. Thereafter, remnants of the gang came together with the remnants of another gang, the Fujita-gumi, to found a new organization called the "Matsuba-kai" in March 1953.

In April 1960, Matsuba-kai thugs ransacked the Tokyo headquarters of the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper in revenge for unfavorable coverage. In late 1960 and early 1961, members of the Matsuba-kai mounted protests outside the offices of the literary magazine Chūō Kōron in protest of magazine's publication of Shichirō Fukazawa's short story "The Tale of an Elegant Dream” (Fūryū mutan), which described the beheading of the Imperial family with a guillotine.

In the 1980s when the gang was caught smuggling 12 kilos of heroin into Canada.

The Matsuba-kai was registered as a designated yakuza group under the Organized Crime Countermeasures Law in 1994.

In the early 2000s the Matsuba-kai was involved in a violent feud with the rival Kyokuto-kai, which led to a number of shootings. In early 2005, it was revealed that the Urayasu-based cleaning company contracted to Tokyo Disney Resort was run by a member of the Matsuba-kai, Saburō Shiga.

Lady Gan

Lady Gan (died c. 210) was a concubine of Liu Bei, the founding emperor of the state of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms period of China and Liu Shan's mother. She was later posthumously honoured as Lady Huangsi which means "the Lady whom the Emperor misses" by Liu Bei. Then after his death, she was named Empress Zhaolie by her son to match his father's posthumous title. In the Gazette of Kuizhou Prefecture (夔州府志) compiled in 1513, her name is given as Gan Mei (甘梅), though the compiler deems the name fictitious.

Life
Lady Gan was born to a family of commoners from Pei (沛), which is in present-day Pei County, Jiangsu) though a diviner predicted a bright future in store for her. When Lady Gan entered adulthood, her appearance became striking. And by the time she turned eighteen, she had already matured into a seductive and bewitching beauty. She had a beautiful body and soft flesh. When Liu Bei visited Xu Province, he stayed in Xiaopei (小沛; present-day Pei County, Jiangsu), where he met Lady Gan and took her as his concubine. Whenever Liu Bei would summon her within the silken curtains, she would look to anyone who gazed upon her from outside the window as if she was like drifted snow beneath the Moon.

Liu Bei had a three-foot-tall jade figurine that he kept in Lady Gan's apartment. He was reputed to have spent his days planning military strategies, retreating to the apartment at night: It is said that Lady Gan's body was as white and sleek as the jade figurine and that it was difficult to tell them apart. Realizing that Liu Bei's other concubines were extremely jealous of her and the jade figurine, Lady Gan wisely admonished Liu Bei for cherishing such a bewitching trifle, telling him that infatuation gives rise to suspicion. He heeded her warning and disposed of the jade figurine.

Since Liu Bei lost several wives during this time, Lady Gan was in charge of family affairs. On several occasions, she was captured by Liu Bei’s enemies but always managed to emerge from the experience unharmed, and she succeeded in keeping his household together through such crises. Because of her leading role in the household, a common misinterpretation is that she was Liu Bei's first wife. However, though he liked her and trusted her, Liu Bei never married her as a formal wife. This was probably because he wanted a formal wife who would bring him some political advantage; Liu Bei's three known wives were all from powerful clans in the region he was at: Lady Mi in Xu Province, Lady Sun in Eastern Wu and Empress Wu in Yi Province.

She followed Liu Bei to Jing Province later, where she gave birth to Liu Shan. During the Battle of Changban, Liu Bei was forced to abandon her and Liu Shan, but she and her son were both saved by Zhao Yun. She was buried in Nan Commandery (南郡; around present-day Jingzhou, Hubei), her death probably was what prompted the offer of marriage between Liu Bei and Lady Sun, since Liu Bei no longer had someone to manage his household or raise his son.

Posthumous honours
In 221, after Liu Bei established the state of Shu Han and became its first emperor, he posthumously honoured Lady Gan as "Lady Huangsi" (皇思夫人), which literally means "the Lady whom the Emperor misses". Lady Gan's remains were excavated from Nan Commandery for reburial in Shu territory (covering present-day Sichuan and Chongqing), but Liu Bei died before this was completed.

Later, after Liu Shan succeeded his father, Liu Bei, as the emperor of Shu, the chancellor Zhuge Liang wrote a memorial to Liu Shan, suggesting that Lady Gan be honoured and buried together with Liu Bei. Liu Shan obliged and posthumously honoured his mother as "Empress Zhaolie" (昭烈皇后) to match his father's posthumous title, "Emperor Zhaolie".

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Lady Gan first appears in Chapter 15 of the novel alongside Liu Bei's other consort Lady Mi. The two of them had been treated well by Lü Bu who sought to maintain his alliance with their husband. They were also used as a bartering chip to ensure Guan Yu's loyalty to Cao Cao. Lady Gan urged her brother-in-law to escape upon hearing news of Liu Bei's whereabouts. She also provided him with numerous pieces of advice during the journey, even helping pacify Zhang Fei who mistook his brother's ties to Cao Cao as treachery.

After reuniting with her husband, Lady Gan, bore him a son, Liu Shan. On the night of the birth a white crane alighted on the yamen, sang some forty notes (number of years her son would reign), and flew into the west (place he would reign). During parturition an unknown fragrance filled the room. Once Lady Gan had dreamed that she swallowed the stars of the Northern Dipper and conceived as a result—hence the child's milkname, Ah Dou, or Precious Dipper. She was among those Zhao Yun saved when the conflict at Changban occurred. Her death in Chapter 54 inspired Zhou Yu to entrap Liu Bei in Wu by arranging a marriage between him and Lady Sun.

Seven Pines, Virginia

Seven Pines is a community located in the unincorporated town of Sandston in Henrico County, Virginia. Cemetery records state the name is derived from for a group of seven pine trees planted within the national cemetery in 1869 near the intersection of the old Williamsburg-Richmond Stage Road and the Nine Mile Road, however, the name Seven Pines pre-dates the establishment of the cemetery. Earlier maps and records, especially those from the American Civil War, commonly refer to the location as Seven Pines. Today, the surrounding area is still referred to as Seven Pines although it lies within the census-designated place of Sandston and uses Sandston postal addresses.

During the Civil War, several major battles of the Peninsula Campaign in 1862 took place nearby, including the Battle of Seven Pines (as named in Confederate records; the name in Federal records was Fair Oaks for the nearby town of that name), and the smaller engagements of Oak Grove, Golding's Farm, Allen's Farm, Savage's Station, and White Oak Swamp.

The local Seven Pines Elementary School takes it name from the town.

Jan Hanlo

Jan Hanlo, in full Johannes Bernardus Maria Raphael Hanlo (Bandung, Dutch East Indies, 29 May 1912 - Maastricht, Netherlands 16 June 1969) was a Dutch poet and writer. The son of a judge in the Dutch East Indies, Hanlo grew up with his mother, who was a Roman Catholic bigot, in Deurne, later in Valkenburg aan de Geul, both in the south of the Netherlands. From 1942-1958 he lived in Amsterdam, where he grew to be interested in poetry and was associated with the experimental group of the Vijftigers, although he was an outsider in that group. In 1951 his first book op poems was published, The varnished - Het geverniste.

His most famous poem, 'Oote', meant as a rendering of children's speak in written sounds, was published in 1952. It resulted in a minor scandal, when it was read aloud in the Dutch parliament as an example of art that should not be subsidized by the government. For the most part, Hanlo's work is less experimental. Its recurring themes are beauty and innocence. Hanlo was an amiable, shy man, who found pleasure in relating with boys. Alleged homosexual acts brought him into contact with the law. Because of this he was treated in mental hospitals, and according to his 1998 biography, Hanlo was castrated.

In the end of the 1950s he started writing prose. He died after his motorcycle collided into a lorry. After his death, more of his prose was published and his correspondence. Jan Hanlo is still a valued Dutch author, his poems have been put to music several times. Some of his poems were used to adorn walls, for instance in the Wall poems in Leiden project.

Seven Pines National Cemetery

Seven Pines National Cemetery is a national cemetery located in the Seven Pines area of the unincorporated town of Sandston in Henrico County, Virginia. Although cemetery records state the name is derived from for a group of seven pine trees planted within the national cemetery in 1869 near the intersection of the old Williamsburg-Richmond Stage Road and the Nine Mile Road, the name Seven Pines pre-dates the establishment of the cemetery.

The National Cemetery was established in 1866. Most of the interments are of Union soldiers that were originally hastily buried on the Seven Pines battlefield in makeshift graves. The cemetery's 1.9 acre are located near the center of General George B. McClellan's second and main defense line of the May 31, 1862. To help facilitate visitation, an electric street railway was built to the site by a company formed in 1888. The railway has long since been removed and most visitors now park in the cemetery's driveway next to the caretaker's lodge.

Seven Pines National Cemetery was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.

Talk:The Hunger Site

Critical background is provided in the German article http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Click_Charity_Donation It would be good to find some one who can translate this excellent stuff.
 * An approximation is available through Babelfish here. The tricky part is translating it from the poor approximation into real English.  I did it once for a different article, so it *is* possible... --Icarus 06:11, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Suggested merge
The Rainforest Site appears to be mostly a copy-and-paste of info from here (down to "The Hunger Site" being used in a section lower on the page, instead of "The Rainforest Site"). There is a small amount of info specific to The Rainforest Site that can be merged here, so I propose that we do so and then change that page into a redirect. --Icarus (Hi!) 22:12, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * We'd have to find a new name for the merged article. Simply calling it "Hunger Site" wouldn't work if it was about more than one site. ONUnicorn 15:45, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I second the move to merge in the rainforest site article. It makes sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GeneralisimoKim (talk • contribs) 11:56, 26 August 2006
 * Merge into a new article CharityUSA.com ——Cliffb 21:38, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think this is the best idea, for several reasons. Firstly, CharityUSA.com may be the current owner, but it's only the most recent of three owners. Secondly, the resulting article wouldn't actually be about CharityUSA.com, but rather about two websites owned by it, so this would not be the most appropriate name. Finally, this would probably go against the naming convention of using the most commonly used name for the subject matter. --Icarus (Hi!) 04:19, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps The Hunger Site and The Rainforest Site should both be merged into the Click To Donate page? I wrote the Rainforest Site page, and I think a simlar page could be made for the other "Click to donate" sites, and then all of them could be included in the "click to Donate" page.

The more I've looked into this outfit, the less I like them. They haven't disclosed how much they've given to anyone since 2000, except in units of "cups of food" and "square feet of land saved." At least there's a journalist who's willing to say it: each click is probably worth less than a cent. Yet the same journalist endorses the site: "Taking time to click really helps, especially if you do it daily." (Guardian, 17 Dec 2005) I fail to understand how anyone can be consoled by an insignificant sacrifice for an insignificant donation. Whosasking 06:52, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

One band, not two
I'm pretty sure that these are both the same band. I saw them perform in Ottawa in about 1998, and they performed Electric Avenue. The band had two vocalists — one male with a very deep voice (sorry, I don't know his name), and the other was Michie Mee. Pburka 02:27, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * You know, frankly, I thought as much...but I left what was written as it was because I couldn't find any references at the time to confirm my suspicion. (Considering that the original article at Sheriff misidentified that Canadian band as being from Sacramento, California, I never cease to be amazed at people's capacity to be wildly wrong in what they think they know.) This link, however, confirms that you're right. Bearcat 10:09, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah, they had another vocalist, featured on the "Raggadeath"-CD as well. Unfortunately, I haven't got it here to check.

Another thing:

Follow-up band?
Michie Mees myspace-site says Raggadeath are now called The Day After.

Dolgoprudny

Dolgoprudny (Долгопру́дный, ) is a town in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located about 20 km north of Moscow city center. The town's name is derived from Russian "Долгий пруд" (dolgy prud, lit. "long pond")—a long and narrow pond situated in the northeastern part of the town. The town's name is sometimes colloquially shortened as Dolgopa. Population:

Geography
The territory of the town borders with Moscow in the south and in the east, Khimki in the southwest, and is limited by the Moscow Canal in the west and by the Klyazminskoye Reservoir in the north. The town can be reached by suburban train from the Savyolovsky Terminal of Moscow in about twenty minutes to one of the three platforms: Novodachnaya, Dolgoprudnaya, or Vodniki, or by bus shuttle from Khovrino and Altufyevo stations of the Moscow Metro. The Dmitrovskoye highway connecting Moscow with Dmitrov and Dubna passes just east of the town.

History

A settlement of Vinogradovo situated in the place of the modern town was known at least since the 17th century. Then a railway was built in the 1900s (decade) and a railway platform was built in 1914. The settlement started to develop as an airship manufacturing plant was built there in 1931. The aeronautic engineer Umberto Nobile worked there for five years during the 1930s. For a few years during the 1930s, the settlement was renamed Dirizhablestroy (meaning "airship building"). In 1951, the famous Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology or Phystech, moved to Dolgoprudny, and a construction of its present campus started in the southern part of the town, inspired by the Nobel Prize winners Pyotr Kapitsa, Lev Landau, and Nikolay Semyonov. Town status was granted in 1957.

Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is incorporated as Dolgoprudny Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. As a municipal division, Dolgoprudny Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction is incorporated as Dolgoprudny Urban Okrug.

Economy
Now the town has machinery-building, engineering, and chemical industries. It is being extensively developed with much commercial and residential construction due to its favorable location and following the growing demand for real estate in the suburbs of Moscow.

Torne träsk is the seventh largest lake in Sweden. It isn't a swamp, it is a glacial lake. "Träsk" doesn't mean swamp - not in this part of Sweden. It means lake. There are many lakes in this part of Sweden that has "träsk" in their names. / Habj 02:31, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I moved it to Torneträsk. The name must be either "Torne Träsk" or "Torneträsk". "Torneträsk" seems most common, e.g. here. // Fred-Chess 10:11, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * More common maybe, but wrong... due to the ignorance of people from Southerns Sweden? ;-) pretty much like the common practise of writing "Luleälven" instead of "Lule älv". Apparantly NE writes Torneträsk also. In an English-speaking context, I find little arguments to raise though (different from the Swedish-speaking situation). / Habj 13:23, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * ''(C) 151  Tornetrask (Sweden)   [sp2004001127]
 * ''   451    UF Lake Tornetrask (Sweden)
 * ''   451    UF Torne Lake (Sweden)
 * ''   451    UF Tornetrask Lake (Sweden)

 * Just to show there are some variations. I think the problem is that "sjö" in standard Swedish translates to "lake", but that "träsk" in standard Swedish translates to "swamp" and that Torne Träsk can't be translated to Torne Swamp (as you noted)...
 * Otherwise I prefer to translate the Swedish word, as e.g. Lule River. Except, when it comes to the "åar", it seems counter-intuitive to translate to something e.g. Helgeå = Helge River...? Helgeån is not a river, so all those articles would have to start with "X River" is a stream in Sweden, it is not actually a river...  Other options would include "Helge Creek"...? "Helge Stream"...?, but that would be to invent names....

Kokusui-kai

The Kokusui-kai ("Patriotic Society") (國粹会), founded in 1958 by Masaji Morita, is a Tokyo-based yakuza organization with an estimated 1000 members. Originally a revivalist organization based on the 1919 monarchist anticommunist group of the same name established by statesman Tokonami Takejirō, it temporarily disbanded after country-wide yakuza crackdowns in 1965.

Despite its relatively low membership, it is widely viewed as a wealthy and successful gang, controlling Tokyo's fashionable Ginza district. Its oyabun, or godfather, was Kazuyoshi Kudo until his suicide in February 2007. The gang had long been a member of the Kantō Hatsukakai, a federation of Tokyo yakuza groups opposed to the powerful, Kansai-based Yamaguchi-gumi.

This changed in August 2005, when in a surprise move, the Kokusui-kai withdrew from the Kantō alliance and became an affiliate of the Yamaguchi-gumi. The timing of the change was particularly interesting: the Yamaguchi-gumi's new godfather, Kenichi Shinoda, had been installed just weeks before and had made clear his intent to expand into the Kantō region. The merger with the Kokusui-kai, in which Shinoda became sworn brothers with Kazuyoshi Kudo in a sake-sharing ritual, was concrete evidence of the Yamaguchi's expansion.
