Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test

The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, the 2007 edition of which is known as the PPVT-IV, is an untimed test of receptive vocabulary for Standard American English and is intended to provide a quick estimate of the examinee's receptive vocabulary ability. It can be used with the Expressive Vocabulary Test-Second Edition (EVT-2) to make a direct comparison between the examinee's receptive and expressive vocabulary skills. The PPVT was developed in 1959 by special education specialists Lloyd M. Dunn and Leota M. Dunn. The current version lists L.M. Dunn and his son D.M. Dunn as authors.

Procedure
The test is given verbally and takes between twenty and thirty minutes to complete. No reading is required by the individual, and scoring is rapid. For its administration, the examiner presents a series of pictures to each person. There are four pictures to a page, and each is numbered. The examiner speaks a word describing one of the pictures and asks the individual to point to or say the number of the picture that the word describes. Item responses can also be made by multiple choice selection depending on the age of the person being tested. The total score can be converted to a percentile rank, mental age, or a standard deviation IQ score. Although desirable, no special training is required to properly administer and score the PPVT-IV. The test publisher recommends that anyone interpreting or explaining the test scores should have knowledge in psychological testing and statistics.

Changes from previous edition
The national norms of the PPVT-III were extended to include ages 2 years and 6 months through 90+ years of age. The PPVT-IV was developed from adult norms obtained on 828 persons ages 19 to 40 selected to be nationally representative of geographical regions and major occupational groups. No people with handicaps were included in the norm population. Two parallel forms (A and B) can be used for testing and retesting.

Clinical use
The PPVT-IV provides an estimate of the client's verbal intelligence and has been administered to groups who had reading or speech problems, had intellectual disability, or were emotionally withdrawn. Studies of earlier versions of the test suggested that it tended to underestimate full-scale IQ scores for both intellectually disabled and gifted test-takers. Because the manner of the individual's response to stimulus vocabulary is to point in any fashion to one of four pictures that best fits the stimulus work, these tests also apply to rehabilitation of individuals who have multiple physical impairments, but whose hearing and vision are intact. The PPVT-IV can also be used for assessing the English vocabulary of non-English-speaking individuals and assessing adult verbal ability.

PPVT clinical research publications include thousands of references. To organize PPVT publications into groupings, two different types of database searches for PPVT publications were completed. The first search quarried the American Psychological Association PsycNET. The second search quarried the American Psychological Association PsycINFO.

E-assessments research
Due to known validity and reliability coefficients of the PPVT since the early 1970s, the PPVT provided an instrument against which questions related to mechanized testing systems could be studied. Mechanized testing systems were testing systems which integrated equipment such as slide projectors and tape players to administer the PPVT. One mechanized testing system employed a Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-12 computer, interfaced with a Universal Digital Controller to control the random access audio system and the slide projector. The PDP-12 was equipped with a Teletype Model 33 and was interfaced with an oscilloscope so that, during PPVT testing, the status readout of the item number and correctness of response of the last item completed to administer the PPVT could be determined.

An e-assessment project, published in the mid-1980s, conducted an examination of both test validity and test reliability using a personal computer (Apple II) for administering the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (PPVT-R) compared to a traditional paper and pencil administration. During the computer-based administration, students' only interaction with an adult occurred when they were led from their classroom to the school library, where each student was seated at a table with the Apple II computer. They were informed that the computer would administer the directions and that they could press the space bar on the computer keyboard to repeat any instructions or words if needed. The PPVT-R software program verbally delivered the test instructions and presented the visual sample test items. After each student met the standard for administering the PPVT-R, the software program followed the PPVT-R standard test instructions, verbally presenting the stimulus word while displaying the visual choices. The software administration also included offering verbal praise to the child for correct responses when appropriate and informing each student when the test was completed.

As computer-human technology improves, future PPVT e-assessments research may include use of visual tracking computer interface such as wearable eye tracking glasses so that disabled adults can respond to PPVT test items by scanning the visual field and fixing their eye gaze on the visual item they select.

Future PPVT e-assessment research could integrate the human nervous system with e-administration of the PPVT. The human nervous system e-assessment would involve assessment of the P300 (P3) wave event related potential (ERP) between visual picture test items and the picture word comparing and contrasting the correct pairing of the word and picture against incorrect pairing of words and pictures. Use of the PPVT with cognitive disabled individuals and their response to the P3 ERP waveform could be used as a measure for the efficacy of various treatments on cognitive function.

Limits
The test is not useful in its present form for blind and deaf people, but can be useful for people with intellectual disability without modification of the test administration procedure. A possible problem with the test for adults is that the illustrations for about the first fifty items typically feature children, and thus may not be appropriate for adult subjects with intellectual disability.

Talk:Ichi the Killer (film)

Original manga
When will someone make a good article about the manga? If you go to the japanese wikipedia I think there's a good article about it. Anybody wants to translate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.1.118.102 (talk) 22:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

No subject
The "Trivia" part of the article is a direct copy from IMBD (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0296042/trivia). I think it shoud be removed due to copyright issues.

The synopsis of the film ends without an explanation of what happens. It is incomplete, just cut off mid-sentence.

 * Merge the Kakihara article, definitely, and redirect. Budgiekiller 13:13, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Original
The manga came out first. ANyone wants to write an article about it?--sin-man 10:27, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm not really in a position to but I suspect the manga should go here and the film part goes to Ichi the Killer (film) - see what was done with Battle Royale and Uzumaki as an example. (Emperor 04:01, 24 March 2007 (UTC))

3 million yen?
I'm quite sure it was 300 million yen that Anjo had. BrainRotMenacer 09:12, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

It was, anjo had 300 mil yen, but elsewhere in the movie there was talk about paying people 3 mil yen.--Soyweiser 22:25, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Can we establish how much 300million yen is worth... my racisim says £100 but i suspect im wrong... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.58.58 (talk) 01:03, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Non english links
Why? What do they add? --Soyweiser 22:25, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Ending
I'm fairly certain the last bit of the plot description is completely wrong. It looked to me like the person following the kids was the kid from the movie. And the guy hanging in the tree was that Jijii fellow. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.2.254.93 (talk) 09:14, 3 March 2007 (UTC).

 * Does any one know for sure? i just saw the movie and i can't figure it out. does anyone know where we could go to add that aprt of the article? as of right now it's not even there any more...Killemall22 (talk) 03:48, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

 * The ending has been completely wrong for such a long time, I thought it was time to fix it. When Jijii is examining Kakihara's body and notices the lack of a scar that Ichi would leave, there's a quick cut in the movie to show that Ichi is still lying on the ground being kicked by Takeshi. This is why Jijii is shocked. Earlier on in the movie, Takeshi is shown trying to domesticate a crow. At the very end, before the boy turns around, a crow flies past him. Yeah, that's not Ichi. It's absurd that someone has interpreted it as being Ichi and no-one has fixed it. That's Takeshi, not Ichi. Watch the movie again. Takeshi, now older, took revenge on Jijii, after probably kicking Ichi to death at the roof. Probably, as it is not inconclusive. And hanging? That's not Ichi's modus operandi. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.114.47.187 (talk) 21:46, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Ending is fixed. Watch the move again, and you will see that this is the true ending.74.243.4.185 (talk) 22:49, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

 * "Takeshi's psychic abilities"? Are you sure of that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.36.56.126 (talk) 06:32, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Yes, it is certain that Takeshi has mind control abilities. At the end of the movie, Takeshi forced both Kakihara and Jijii to believe that Ichi was still alive.  Both Kakihara and Jijii thought that Ichi attacked Kakihara with a bladed boot, causing Kakihara to fall off of the roof.  However, when Jijii looks at Kakihara's forehead, there is no injury.  Jijii knows that Takeshi has mind control abilities, but didn't realize how good Takeshi was.  Jijii had no idea, that he was being controlled until he saw that there was no injury on Kakihara's forehead.  That's why he looked back up at the roof; he understood what was done to him, and was seriously afraid.  Remember earlier, Jijii told Ichi that Kaneko (Takeshi's father) was Ichi's brother, in an attempt to keep Kaneko safe.  Jijii knew that if Kaneko was killed by Ichi, Takeshi's powers would become apparent due to overwhelming emotions of anger and grief.  Jijii wasn't fearfull for himself.  Jijii simply wanted to keep Ichi alive, and feared that Takeshi would kill Ichi.74.243.4.221 (talk) 02:05, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Where else is this psychic thing hinted at or referenced in the rest of the movie? There seems to be more rational explanations for the climax? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.246.150.118 (talk) 19:28, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but 74.243...’s change (this edit) seems wrong to me. Indeed, Ichi is psychologically manipulated by Jijii, but I couldn’t find any evidence that Takeshi has psychic abilities. 122.26.212.59 (talk) 12:01, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Kakihara right hand man
what is the name of the actor who plays Kakihara's right hand man? the old yakuza guy. -- Alex Ov  Shaolin  06:33, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Paying attention would net you that info - character's name is Takayama and the actor who portrays him is Shun Sugata. --75.2.32.250 03:52, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

mouth widening
I just wanted to let everyone know that it never shows the actual mouth-widening in the movie, it shows him WITH his mouth widened, but never the actual act of him having it widened, if thats easy to understand. 69.149.223.220 17:52, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

 * That's incorrect. There are various cuts to the film, but the most popular, the Unrated cut, shows Kakihara's mouth drop open while sitting in a bathtub (after his death, in a flashback).Frosty976 (talk) 17:48, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Does this make sense?
"Many of Kakihara's compatriots, including Anjo's English, Cantonese, and Japanese speaking girlfriend Karen (Alien Sun), suspect that Anjo simply took the money and ran, but Kakihara is convinced the man is alive" so everyone thinks he's alive? so we don't need the but?

Soundtrack?
Didn't the "Boredoms" do the Soundtrack to this movie? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.162.193.239 (talk) 23:00, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Hypnotizing Karen
The plot summary states: "...Jijii attempts to get better control over Ichi by having Karen seduce him, but the plan backfires and Karen is slaughtered." But it wasn't clear to me that was his intention. It seemed to me that Jijii wanted Ichi to kill Karen. 209.202.115.142 (talk) 16:37, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Film banning
"'In January 2009, the Norwegian Media Authority learned of this incident and subsequently classified the film as 'Rejected' and banned the film outright in Norway. [...] The film has been banned in Malaysia since the movie's release. It later caused controversy in Germany and the film was banned for distribution there, too. Private possession of the film remains legal.'" I cannot find any evidence for this part of the article under Release. The best I can find are articles that simply state the movie was banned in Norway, Germany, and Malaysia. -- Primium (talk) 16:14, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Grass Valley speckled dace

The Grass Valley speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus reliquus) occurred in a single spring-fed creek in a grassy meadow in eastern Lander County, Nevada. Specimens were collected only once in 1938, and it was then considered common. The species had a distinctive speckled lower lip and silver sided body. The introduction of brook and rainbow trout to the creek is believed to be the reason for their extinction.

Hidden page instruction
There is a commented page instruction at the top of the article, placed in May 2006 by Jack O'Lantern, that only persons with pre-existing WP articles be included. Given that that instruction still exists on the page after a decade, I assume that it is a valid rule for this article. There are currently two entries on the page that violate this rule, and one is supported by an improperly formatted IMDB cite (IMDB is an unreliable source and should not be used as an inline cite for biographical info). My inclination is to immediately remove both, but one was added by Rmhermen, who has done a lot for this article. So I'm posing this here: Is Jack's instruction to be regarded as a valid rule, and may I remove the nonconforming entries? I'm well aware that the attitude has shifted regarding redlinks, but Jack's instruction would appear to make this article an exception (I have no problem with that because it has been proven time and again that any list article without such a rule will become a cruft dump for every non-notable individual anyone cares to add).

 * It's possible I'm thinking of another page, but I thought policy was only those with articles, and that they have to be sourced as Native American according to WP:NDN-RS standards, which is why we wrote the essay about sourcing Indigenous identity on WP in the first place - to help with cleanup on these lists and bios.

Royal Naval Auxiliary Service

The Royal Naval Auxiliary Service (RNXS) was a uniformed, unarmed, civilian volunteer service, administered and trained by the Royal Navy to operate in the ports and anchorages of the United Kingdom in an emergency. Although the abbreviated title would logically have been RNAS this abbreviation had long been taken by the various Royal Naval Air Stations, so RNXS it was. It maintained training units, and vessels at most major ports in the UK. and was formed in 1963 from the amalgamation of the Royal Naval Mine-watching Service (RNMWS) and Admiralty Ferry Crew Association in response to the perceived nuclear threat to British ports. The service was disbanded on 31 March 1994 due to Ministry of Defence (MOD) cuts. Most vessels from its fleet were transferred to the Royal Navy or sold, with the exception of XSV Loyal Volunteer, which was struck by a ro-ro ferry while berthed in Ipswich Harbour and was later scrapped.

Role
The service was divided into 'Afloat' and 'Ashore' sections, The 'Afloat' personnel manned the service's dedicated ships and the 'Ashore' personnel manned the Port Headquarters (PHQ) which were positioned around the United Kingdom (UK). The 'Afloat' section contained engineers, seamen and communications personnel, while the 'Ashore' section consisted of communications and plotting staff, later amalgamated into an 'Operations' section. There was an element of cross-fertilization whereby some people of the 'Afloat' section worked in PHQs as communicators, drivers and security staff and some of the 'Ashore' section worked afloat as engineers, seamen, communicators and, indeed, cooks.

RNXS personnel, known as auxiliarymen regardless of gender, were to be readily available to assist in the tasks of evacuating major ports and dispatching larger and faster merchant vessels overseas in case of an attack on the UK. Any remaining ships were to be dispersed to safe anchorages along the coasts or at nearby islands. Formation, planning and sailing of convoys were tasks undertaken in the PHQs by RNXS staff working within overall dedicated RNR control during exercises. The communications personnel operated the Communications Centre connected via teleprinter and, latterly computer, to all UK MOD Communications Nodes and, unassisted, performed these tasks solely within the RNXS structure on behalf of the overall PHQ Command and Naval Officer In Command (NOIC).

For some of these purposes, the RNXS operated a small fleet of inshore vessels. Initially, the vessels were 45 ft and 61.5 ft Motor Fishing Vessels. These smaller boats were soon replaced by ten inshore minesweepers (Ham-class minesweeper). RNXS vessel names were prefixed 'XSV' for Auxiliary Service Vessel. The minesweepers were de-armed and converted to enable larger training crews to be embarked. The 20 mm Oerlikon cannon or 40 mm Bofors guns were removed but the mounts were kept. Over time, the minesweepers were replaced by fleet tenders, the Loyal class. Most of this class of ships' names were prefixed 'Loyal' apart from XSV Supporter, whose home port was Belfast, and, given Irish political tensions at the time, the prefix "Loyal" was dropped. The RNXS operated eleven purpose-built fleet tenders and various other small craft. In 1990, a specific threat of port attack by subversive and/or Special Forces was identified and to help to counter this threat, the RNXS received four of P2000 fast patrol craft from the fourteen built for the Royal Navy These P2000s are still in service, as commissioned warships at University Royal Naval Units.

The sailing of merchantmen both overseas and coastal sailings involved setting up assembly anchorages where ships might be formed into convoys, a naval escort or surveillance for information on routing, intelligence, and communications. Auxiliarymen were required at assembly anchorage control to assist in these tasks.

Originally, the Royal Naval Mine-watching Service (RNMWS) had two main tasks in war.

First, to observe, plot and report the fall of mines laid by enemy aircraft in port approaches and main waterways. Second, to provide the basic local organisation for naval officers in charge at strategic ports around the UK in war.

These tasks were not new, indeed they had been performed by naval and merchant naval personnel throughout the past centuries. The nuclear threat, however, had cut the time available to the Royal Navy, and the Merchant Navy had to be developed or adapted to cope. Therefore, the RNXS was formed.

In 1963 the Royal Mine-watching Service assumed a new role and name with responsibilities to provide staff to support the Navy in the various port headquarters around the UK that would be set up in a national emergency or war.

Royal warrant
A royal warrant was granted changing its name from the "Royal Naval Mine-watching Service" to the "Royal Naval Auxiliary Service" in 1962, to reflect these new functions.

One of the Royal Navy's major tasks is the protection of shipping, and the RNXS played a non-combatant, but important, role in support of its parent Navy by manning port headquarters in major ports and anchorages around the UK. they were to be available to assist in the tasks of evacuating major ports, and dispatching larger and faster merchant vessels overseas in case of an attack on the UK. Any remaining ships were to be dispatched to safe anchorages along the coasts or at nearby islands.

Because merchant vessels would be travelling overseas in time of war, further tasks involved the setting up assembly anchorages, where ships could be formed into convoys ready for a naval escort. RNXS personnel were required at these assembly anchorages to assist in routing of vessels, intelligence, and communications both ashore and afloat. The service also provided craft and crews to support the Navy in these ports and anchorages. These craft ranged from ex inshore minesweepers, fleet tenders (Loyal class)  to fast patrol boats (P2000 or the shortened P20), permanently on loan to the service. The craft were normally based in Naval Dockyards for the necessary maintenance and technical support from the Royal Maritime Auxiliary service but they were manned entirely by the RNXS crew.

These craft were at sea most weekends for practical training, and also took part in national and NATO military exercises, as well as local and out-of-area training cruises. The craft took part in fleet reviews; and have been used in the clearance of oil pollution; search and rescue and many other tasks.

The Ensign of Royal Naval Auxiliary Service
The Ensign was originally created in 1954 for the Royal Naval Mine-watching Service, but when the service was amalgamated with the Admiralty Ferry Crews Association, to become the Royal Naval Auxiliary Service (RNXS) in 1963, the flag inscription was altered to reflect the name change.

Command structure
The RNXS command structure was divided in to geographical areas within the UK

 * Scotland, Northern Ireland & N.E England Training Units

Grimsby, Thorne, Hull, Stockton & Tees-port, Hartlepool, Sunderland, Newcastle, Blyth, Leith, Rosyth, Dundee, Aberdeen, Elgin, Inverness, Invergordon, Thurso, Kirkwall, Greenock & Clyde port, Ayr, Bangor, Belfast.

RAF Pitreavie Castle  near Dunfermline, Fife, was the Headquarters of the Scotland, Northern Ireland & N.E England, RNXS Group, consisting of both permanent and volunteer staff

 * Portsmouth Training Units *

Bexhill, Chatham, Chelmsford, Dover, Felixstowe. Gravesend, Greenwich, Harwich, Isle of Wight, Ipswich, London, Margate, Poole, Portland, Portsmouth, Sheerness, Shoreham Southampton, Southend, Great Yarmouth, Littlehampton.

 * Plymouth Training Units *

Exeter, Guernsey, Jersey, Torbay (based in Brixham), Plymouth, Fowley, Falmouth, Penzance, Barnstaple, Bristol, Gloucester, Sully, Swansea, Pembroke Dock, Holyhead, Menai Bridge, Conwy, Liverpool, Inskip.

RNXS crew
The RNXS accepted women among its crews before the Royal Navy did. The first female skipper was Denise St Aubyn Hubbard in 1978.

The men and women of the RNXS, or auxiliary-men as they were known, were between the ages of 21 and 60 and came from various backgrounds as civilians or prior service personnel.

Members undertook weekly classroom training, in their chosen departments, Engineering, Seamanship, Communications, and Operations. ashore and afloat, and worked towards qualifications, members also took part in extended formal training with the Navy

The RNXS had a pleasant family flavour and in many units were husbands and wives, sons and daughters training together for the job best suited to former experience and physical abilities.

James Erskine, Earl of Mar and Kellie was a member of the RNXS in the 1980s

Those who served in the RNXS were volunteer reservists and are therefore veterans of HM Armed Forces and are eligible to receive a HM Armed Forces Veteran card and a Veterans Badge from the UK Ministry of Defence, upon application.

In 1990 the RNXS had a personnel of 3,200.

The day after the Royal Naval Auxiliary Service was disbanded on 31 March 1994, its members formed the Maritime Volunteer Service (MVS)

Ham-class inshore minesweepers
Of the 93 Ham-class minesweepers built in the 1950s for the RN, and commissioned in 1956 (none of which saw active service) ten were later allocated in 1964 to the newly formed RNXS:

Loyal-class fleet tenders
The Loyal-class fleet tenders were purpose built in the late seventies by Richard Dunston of Thorn, South Yorkshire, as training vessels for the RNXS, they were based on a proven MOD/RMAS design for supply tenders

However, in the RNXS version the hold was converted at build stage for extra accommodation for RNXS crew. They had interior hatches down into the converted holds, now fitted with bunks and living quarters. Externally, they are very similar to the Clovelly-class fleet tender supply fleet tenders.

Archer class (P2000 or "P20")
Following the disbandment of the RNXS, the Loyal-class fleet tenders and the P2000 were sold or reassigned within the Royal Navy.

Disbandment
On 18 October 1993 Malcolm Rifkind (Secretary of State For Defence 1992–1995) announced in the House of Commons that proposals set out in June regarding the future of the Royal Naval Auxiliary Service and Royal Auxiliary Air Force had been confirmed, and as no role could be found for the RNXS, they would be disbanded the following year.

On 18 February 1994 it was confirmed in the House of Commons as part of that same review that there was no continuing defence role for the Royal Naval Auxiliary Service, and after a properly managed rundown the RNXS would disband from 31 March 1994.

A serious machinery space fire occurred on XSV Exploit approximately 30 miles of Lundy island, at 0645 19 March 1994, as she was being transferred to RN Portsmouth from Greenock as part of the managed run down of the service by RNXS crew. The Padstow lifeboat and the RAF SAR helicopter from Chivenor, were scrambled, and a tanker en route to Milford Haven was diverted to help, but they were not needed. If not for the coolness, professionalism, and bravery of the RNXS skipper Area Officer K Warner (Thorne unit), Charge Engineer Area Officer G Swan (Hartlepool unit), and Mate, J Smith (Rosyth unit), who entered the compartment three times in breathing masks when the Halon drenching system failed, to fight the fire with fire extinguishers, the ship would have been lost. The fire was later attributed to a major mechanical failure of the starboard main engine, resulting in a large hole in the sump casing. The fire spread quickly to the air ducts, igniting various rubber coolant pipes causing thick acrid, toxic smoke.

The mood in the service was further compounded with the loss of Loyal Volunteer, in Ipswich harbour later that year, and was seen as a sad end to a faithful vessel, and Aux Lt Cdr R.A Hare noted, "That this should be the fate of Loyal Volunteer, was not without its significance".

Not all of the members of the RNXS were lost for good when the RNXS disbanded. Some 2,000 former members of the RNR and RNXS formed the Maritime Volunteer Service, a civilian but uniformed organisation, as a national maritime training organisation, with charitable status. Designed to perpetuate maritime skills, in order to continue and develop those skills it has taken over and expanded many RNXS roles. Four years after its formation in 1994, the Maritime Volunteer Service was officially recognised by the Royal Navy. The decision was announced by Dr John Reid, the Armed Forces Minister in 1998. Prince Michael of Kent is the organisation's Royal Patron.

Banff longnose dace

The Banff longnose dace (Rhinichthys cataractae smithi) was a diminutive (about 5 cm long) version of the eastern longnose dace, its range restricted to a small marsh fed by two hot springs on Sulphur Mountain in Banff National Park in Banff, Alberta, Canada.

The development of a popular thermal swimming pool at the Cave and Basin National Historic Site eventually led to pollution of the dace's habitat. Deliberate introduction of mosquitofish in the 1920s was followed by various tropical fish (and aquarium plants) which reproduce year-round in the marsh, while the Banff longnose dace only spawned once a year. The exotic fish also out-competed the dace for food and preyed on unhatched eggs. The few remaining Banff longnose dace hybridized with the Eastern longnose dace from the nearby Bow River. In 1981 a research study showed that the habitat destruction and the introduction of the non-native fish threatened the dace. It is hypothesized that this Banff subspecies' unique genetic structure was irreversibly mixed with another subspecies (termed introgressive hybridization), and by 1986 it had disappeared and was declared extinct in April 1987 by COSEWIC. Currently a study is underway to clarify the taxonomic classification of this putative subspecies.

Talk:Antonio Smareglia

Date of Death
Note that in the Antonio Smareglia (1854-1929) Sveučilišna knjižnica u Puli, 2004 the short English note at the end gives the date as 14 April, but both the Croatian and Italian main text give it as 15 April.

Nationality
In 19th century Europe it is really a little difficult to establish someone like Smeraglia's nationality. Legally he was Austrian, Pola being inside the Austrian Empire, but so was Milan and Venice at the time, and who would call people born in Milan in 1854 Austrians? He himself had an Italian name, his operas are composed to Italian librettos and his father was Italian, so I think the category "Italian composers" applies here alright. The Croatians nowadays probably claim his as one of their own, because of his mother, but "Croatian composer" is a little beside the point, maybe.... Kraxler 19:48, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall

The Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall is a performing arts centre in the Central Area of Singapore, situated along Empress Place. It is a complex of two buildings and a clock tower joined together by a common corridor; the oldest part of the building was first built in 1862, and the complex was completed in 1909. The complex has undergone a number of renovations and refurbishment, mostly recently in 2010 when the complex was closed for a four-year renovation project. It reopened on 15 July 2014.

The buildings in the complex have been used for a number of purposes, such as public events, political meetings, exhibitions, musical and stage performances, and for a brief period as a hospital. The concert hall is used as a performance venue by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra (SSO), and the complex is managed by Arts House Limited. The Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall was gazetted as a national monument on 14 February 1992.

History

The Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall first began as the Town Hall in 1862. In the early 1900s, a second public hall was built next to it joined by a clock tower to form a larger complex.

Town Hall origin
The Town Hall was originally built to replace the older Assembly Rooms, where local operas and dramas were held but had fallen into disrepair. The foundation stone was laid in 1855, and the building completed in 1862.

The building was designed by the Municipal Engineer, John Bennett. It was built during an era of Victorian Revivalism that was then popular in Britain, and its design therefore reflected this architectural style with Italianate windows, and it was the first such building in Singapore built in this style. The completed town hall originally housed a theatre on the ground floor as well as meeting rooms and offices of various government agencies on the second floor. It also housed the Singapore Library from 1862 to 1876. However, the increase in population resulted in higher demand for entertainment, and the town hall was unable to cope with increasing demand for the use of the building for both entertainment and as administrative purposes, thus by 1893, the offices was moved out of the building.

Construction of Victoria Concert Hall
In 1901, it was decided that a public hall would be built in memory of Queen Victoria who died that year. Public funds for its construction amounting to $368,000 were collected, exceeding the construction costs, thus leaving a surplus of $22,000 for the renovation of the town hall so that it blended in with the new hall. The foundation stone was laid on the occasion of King Edward VII's coronation celebration on 10 August 1902, and the new building was built between 1903 and 1905 next to the Town Hall.

The plan of the memorial hall was initially drawn up by Major Alexander Murray and the Public Works Department, which included the reconstruction of the front elevation of the old town hall on similar lines to the facade of the new memorial hall, which was later modified by R. A. J. Bidwell of Swan and Maclaren. The new layout of the hall consisted of a stage, stalls and pit on the ground floor and dress circle, promenade and a gallery on top of the foyer.

Construction of Clock Tower and renovation of Town Hall
The two buildings, the town hall and the Victoria Memorial Hall, were joined together by a clock tower built in 1906 to give the impression of a single building. The 54 metre-high tower connects the two buildings with a common corridor, and is topped by a timepiece donated by the Straits Trading Company. The tower is built on an axial line with the Anderson Bridge nearby. Renovation of the Town Hall began in July 1906. A portico was created on the town hall mirroring that of the new Memorial Hall, thereby creating a unified appearance.

The construction of the signature clock tower was delayed due to delays in the donation of the clock and chimes by the Straits Trading Company. The clock, four metres wide, weighs 1 tonne and cost $6,000. Its dial faces look in four directions, and there is a bell turret above it, capped by a cupola.

Opening
The Victoria Memorial Hall was officially opened by the Governor of the Straits Settlements, Sir John Anderson, on 18 October 1905. The renovated Town Hall was reopened on 11 February 1909. The Pirates of Penzance was the first performance to be staged in the renovated building when it reopened. The town hall was renamed Victoria Theatre.

On 6 February 1919, the centenary of Singapore's founding, a statue of Stamford Raffles by T. Woolner was moved from the Padang to the front of the Memorial Hall. The statue was complemented with a new semicircular colonnade and a pool.

Historical events and uses
In World War II, the memorial hall was used as a hospital for victims of bombing raids by Japanese forces during the Battle of Singapore before their successful occupation of the colony. During the occupation, the buildings themselves escaped major physical damage, although the colonnade was destroyed and Raffles's statue moved to the National Museum. The statue was returned to its original site in 1946. In that year Seven Keys to Baldpate was staged, which was Kenneth Williams' début. In 1947 the Straits Settlements coat of arms that was hung on the tympanum of both wings of the building was replaced by the newly formed coat of arms of the Crown Colony of Singapore. It was brought down in 1959 to make a plaster cast of the coat of arms of Singapore, which was topped off with two flagpoles with the flag of Singapore on them.

A number of significant civic as well as historical events were held on the premises. The Memorial Hall was the venue for Japanese war crimes trials from 1946 to 1947. From 1948 onward, the Hall was used during elections as the centre for the briefing of election officials and the counting of ballot papers. On 21 November 1954, it was the venue of the People's Action Party's founding. Two public meetings of the Rendel Commission were held 1953 and 1955 in the hall to review the Constitution of the Colony of Singapore in preparation for its independence. On 15 February 1963, Singapore's pilot television broadcasting service, Television Singapura, was launched here. The town hall underwent major renovation between 1952 and 1958, and it was also internally restructured to allow air-conditioning and soundproofing to be installed. Singapore's national song, “Majulah Singapura “, was performed for the first time at Victoria Theatre in 1958 after the major renovations. In 1979, the Memorial Hall was renovated again to accommodate the Singapore Symphony Orchestra (SSO), at which time it was renamed the Victoria Concert Hall. Additional works up to the 1980s added a gallery to the Concert Hall, increasing seating capacity and enclosing the second storey balconies on the front and back facades with glass.

Refurbishment (2010–2014)
In June 2010, Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall were closed for major renovations. The S$180-million refurbishment was undertaken by W Architects, and Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB) Singapore as the project manager and quantity surveyor, with Architectural Restoration Consultants Pte Ltd (ARC) as its conservator and Arup Singapore Pte Ltd as acoustician and theatre planner. The refurbishment repaired and updated the buildings to meet contemporary standards. The façade of the buildings is retained, and some elements belonging to the original 1905 structure restored. This includes reinstating the central passageway between the theatre and the concert hall, which leads to the Arts House. New spaces were created to accommodate building services and for commercial rental and amenities like a café. While the significant interior features of the concert hall were retained, most of the theatre (save the façade) was completely demolished during the renovations.

The building now has extra new spaces for the public, performers and support crew. The theatre has new changing rooms and a loading bay, while the central atrium has been opened up and has become an additional area for hosting arts activities. The roof level of the theatre was raised to match that of the concert hall, and the extra space under the roof houses a new dance studio.

But having new spaces means some sacrifices were necessary. For instance, the theatre now seats fewer people – about 600 from some 900 before – to free up space in what is now the atrium. The concert hall's balcony was also made smaller and higher, so that acoustics are not compromised for those sitting below.

Facilities (1990s–2010s)
The Victoria Theatre had a seating capacity of 904, reduced to 614 after its refurbishment. The Victoria Concert Hall also had a higher capacity of 883 seats originally, but is now reduced to 673, as an unsightly and intrusive balcony inserted during an earlier renovation was removed. Prior to its refurbishment, the theatre had a stage of 167.28 square metres in size, and the concert hall a stage that could be expanded up to 139.76 square metres. The concert hall was considered the venue with the best acoustics in the city, and was the main performance venue for the SSO until the completion of the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay in 2002 when the orchestra moved its home base to take advantage of superior acoustics and facilities brought about by technological and architectural advances over the years.

Institute for Community Studies

Early years
The Institute for Community Studies at The Young Foundation is a community research and evidence centre based in Toynbee Hall, East London. Originally founded in 1953 by Michael Young as the Institute of Community Studies, it is probably best known for the 1957 report by Young and his colleague Peter Willmott, Family and Kinship in East London, which argued for the continuing importance of community ties in the age of the welfare state. Described as a sociological "phenomenon", the original Institute influenced a generation of sociologists and social historians.

Other key publications from that period include:

 * The Family Life of Old People: An inquiry in East London (Peter Townsend, 1957).
 * Widows and their Families (Peter Marris, 1958).
 * Family and Class in a London Suburb (Peter Willmott and Michael Young, 1960).
 * Family and Social Change in an African City: A study of rehousing in Lagos (Peter Marris, 1961).
 * Education and the Working Class (Brian Jackson, Dennis Marsden, 1962).
 * Living with Mental Illness: A study in East London (Enid Mills, 1962).
 * The Evolution of a Community: A Study of Dagenham after forty years (Peter Willmott, 1963).
 * Human Relations and Hospital Care (Ann Cartwright, 1964).
 * Innovation and Research in Education (Michael Young, 1965).
 * Adolescent Boys of East London (Peter Willmott, 1966).
 * Working Class Community (Brian Jackson, 1968).
 * The Symmetrical Family: A study of work and leisure in the London Region (Michael Young and Peter Willmott, 1973).

The original Institute was also the main vehicle through which Young created over 60 organisations including the Open University and the Consumers' Association (aka Which?). In 2005, the Institute of Community Studies merged with the Mutual Aid Centre and was renamed The Young Foundation in honour of Lord Young. The current chief executive of The Young Foundation is Helen Goulden.

A fresh start
Under Helen Goulden's leadership the Institute for Community Studies was re-launched in 2019 as a part of The Young Foundation with support from the Power to Change Trust, Friends Provident Foundation and a large private donation, with a remit to promote positive social, economic and environmental outcomes by better understanding how government and philanthropic interventions affect – and are affected by – the individuals, families and businesses that make up our local communities.

The Institute for Community Studies at The Young Foundation describes itself as 'a research and evidence centre, exploring what works for UK communities'. It places particular emphasis on the role of communities themselves in the research process, both in determining the research questions to be answered and through the use of peer researchers (also known as community-based participatory researchers) to collect evidence. In its first major publication, based on a coordinated series of national surveys and regional focus groups across the United Kingdom, the Institute identified seven priority areas for further research.

King's Valley II

King's Valley II: The Seal of El Giza is a game for MSX1 and MSX2 computers by Konami. It is a sequel to King's Valley from 1985.

The MSX2 version only saw a release in Japan. The same goes for a very rare "contest" version. The contest was about making levels with the games' built-in level editor, held by four Japanese MSX magazines, two of them are MSX.FAN and Beep. The winners of this contest received a gold cartridge with the twenty custom stages on it. Custom levels can be saved to either a disk or tape, and the levels are interchangeable between both the MSX1 and MSX2 versions.

Story
The game is set into the far future, when inter-planetary archaeologist Vick XIII, makes a choking discovery. The pyramids on Earth are malfunctioning devices of alien origin with enough energy to destroy Earth. It is up to Vick to switch off the core functions of El Giza.

Gameplay
The game consists of six pyramids each with its own wall engravings and color pattern; every pyramid contains 10 levels. The idea of the game is to collect crystals called soul stones in each level by solving the different puzzles and evading or killing the enemies using the many tools and weapons available to unlock the exit door that will take the players to the next level.

Versions
The later Konami game Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin for the Nintendo DS reuses the stage musics "In Search of the Secret Spell" and "Sandfall" for the Egyptian area of the game.

The MSX 2 version was the same game except minor changes like the music was remixed and some of the items and backgrounds recolored.

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair uses a remix of the Stage Clear theme as the Stage Clear theme for Chapter 7: Beauty, Desire, Situation Dire (not found on the OST).

Torsten Ullman

Torsten Ullman (27 July 1908 – 11 May 1993) was a Swedish pistol shooter and entrepreneur, most famous for his gold medal in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, where the Germans were favourites in the free pistol competition but Ullman won by a margin of 15 points. His record score of 559 would still be competitive today in this event. He also won the World Championships in Free Pistol in 1933, 1935, 1937, 1947 and 1952.

Ullman was not a free pistol specialist but rather an all-round shooter, achieving great successes in all three pistol events that existed at the time. In the Rapid Fire competition in Berlin, he won the bronze medal after an extremely rapid shoot-off, and three years later he became World Champion in that event, being one of only four shooters to win major worldwide titles in both 50 m Pistol and 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol. He entered the first World Championship in 25 m Center-Fire Pistol in 1947, surprisingly with a Smith & Wesson revolver, and won by seven points, causing a worldwide revolver hype. He repeated this victory in 1954.

Ullman was one of the first sport shooters to take practice and preparation to a scientific level, which he himself always claimed was a main reason for his success. In 1937, he received the Svenska Dagbladet gold medal for the greatest Swedish sports achievement of the year. He is the only pistol shooter to have received this prestigious award.

Besides his shooting career, Ullman worked with pistol development, and co-authored a widely spread book on shooting with Lev Weinstein. He also started a mechanical industry on Helgö outside Växjö, Småland. It was later moved to Moheda and developed a few filials. Today this industry has been purchased by Finnveden AB.

Ullman was educated from 1925 to 1927 at Sherborne School in Dorset, UK. On leaving Sherborne School he attended Clare College, Cambridge University and then Uppsala University in Sweden. Ullman was married twice, and several of his children have been successful shooters. His youngest daughter Marie-Louise Ullman won the European Junior Championships in 10 m air pistol in 1992.

Einstein summation convention

 * Maybe it would be helpful for beginners to mention somewhere that the Einstein summation convention is employed throughout the article? - Erik

 * I briefly added that just before the RANS equation definition, should be helpful to beginners I think. MasterHD (talk) 22:26, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Time average vs. Ensemble average
I think that speaking in terms of Time average when dealing with Reynolds equations is not correct in principle. As far as I know, for the Reynolds decomposition to make (theoretical) sense, average must be considered as an ensemble average.

Time average (or even volume average) and ensemble average concide only when the flow is statistically steady, which means that

 * $$\frac{\partial \overline{u}}{\partial t}=0$$

and that makes Reynolds equations time independent, which is not the case.

In practice, time average is performed in data analysis assuming that the averaging interval is much shorter than the typical scale of statistical unsteadiness. This allows to approximate the ensemble average with the time average (the same holds in space). This is related to the ergodic hypothesis.

However, because the author seems to be convinced of the contrary, I would like to discuss this fact to make someone convince me that I am wrong, before editing this (and related) articles.

 * Please sign your comments. --Charlesreid1 (talk)

 * Well, I agree with you. I started the article, and talked about time averaging and 'applicable to steady flows', because like you say thats how Ive used it in practice.  I say go ahead, change what you need to and include relevant parts of your discussion in the article.  Maybe "the author" is a bit of a misnomer on wikipedia, but yeah someone did add a bit about "Ensemble averaging is not the same as Reynolds averaging" which confused me. Dougalc 22:02, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

 * The flow does not need to be steady to take a time average, you just need the period $${\Delta}t$$ of the average to be appropriate length so that you can resolve the fluctuations into a value separate from the mean. Then it follows that $$u^\prime = u - \bar u$$, from this definition of the time average:

 * $$\bar{u_i}\equiv\frac{1}{{\Delta}t}\int_{t_o}^{t_o+{\Delta}t}u_i dt$$

 * The mean is allowed to change over time, it should encompass the larger scale unsteady flow features. MasterHD (talk) 22:09, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Ref. for the above: C. Hirsch "Numerical computation of internal and external flows - Fundamentals of numerical discretization" (volume 1) Pages 49-51, ISBN 0471 91762 1 146.87.52.53 (talk) 00:27, 1 May 2012 (UTC) Anon.

Expansion badly needed
Article is badly in need of expansion. Information about turbulent scales being modeled, mention of unsteady RANS, $$k-\epsilon$$ and $$k-\omega$$ models, and at least SOME references (there are literally hundreds out there) should be cited. --Charlesreid1 (talk) 04:13, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:St Botolph's Church, Boston

Assessment
Looks a good article, so graded as a C as lacks inline refs which would make it a B candidate. Good work every one BulldozerD11 (talk) 23:23, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Strictly Incorrect
The article implicitly, but correctly, contradicts itself. The Stump is the name of the tower of St Botolph's Church, Boston, not the church itself, although common usage refers to the Church by the name of its tower, in a similar way to that in which "Big Ben" correctly refers to a bell, but is used to refer to the tower in which it is hung ("The tower of the great clock of Westminster" or something like that). I am not sure how best to edit the article to reflect this, if at all.

 * I've amended it but the amendment might be made a little more concise if you can see a way of compressing it. (RJP 10:39, 4 October 2005 (UTC))

 * That looks fine. --SMeeds 10:58, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah 2A0E:1D47:CA03:1E00:D90F:3EAF:CCDF:7999 (talk) 20:07, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Props to Gothicform for nice job on The Stump
I almost didn't recognise it compared to earlier versions. Good job! --JanesDaddy 20:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

thanks. i have more to add to it... perhaps even a 3d model floorplan. i get a lot of visits for my sites from wikipedia so i thought id give something back and do a really in depth article.--Gothicform 21:23, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Light in the tower
The latest alteration to the text would be true provided the light were a reality. That is not, so far as I am aware, a demonstrable fact. (RJP 21:14, 5 February 2007 (UTC))

 * I assume you are referring to the sentence "Not only did the tall tower serve as a landmark during the day, but a light hung there at night provided a helpful guide to travellers and boats alike." Whe I saw that the word "hung" had been added I to was concerned. Referring to Pishey Thompson (1856), he mentions in a footnote "The lantern, no doubt, was intended to be lighted at night for a sea-mark". This is a supposition rather than a fact, and he goes on to explain how other churches with similar towers are supposed to have had lights, and that some still had hooks where lanterns may be hung.

 * I would suggest that the offending sentence should be hedged: "Not only did the tall tower serve as a landmark during the day, but a light may have been placed there at night...". Note that I have also replaced the word "hung" which is definitely too specific. Perhaps "may" is too vague and could be accused of POV, so perhaps "it has been suggested" might be more appropriate, with reference to Pishey Thompson? SMeeds 12:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I started this thread when someone changed the hedged version of the story to a flat statement. I do not know the building well enough to know that there is no history of a light in the tower. A negative is always difficult to prove. However, there are clear reasons to suspect that it did not happen. The term lantern is used generically for the design of the structure which is at the top of Boston's tower. Ely is the obvious example. It has by no means, a necessary connection with any use as a mounting for a light. Also, to be of any practical service, the light would need to be large. This would make it expensive to maintain and above all, dangerous. Any wooden part of the structure would be very vulnerable in what is just like a factory chimney. The vault visible from ground level is quite modern. Any mistake with the necessarily large, burning light or in getting the correspondingly large supply of fuel up there, would soon turn the tower into a furnace.
 * The lighthouse idea is a lovely one but, on the face of it, impractical.
 * I suggest that the idea would be best dealt with by discussing it in the article, rather than trying to gloss over it. If we don't do that, someone will follow up again and turn it into an assertion of 'fact', or at best, go away thinking of it as 'fact'.(RJP 12:24, 7 February 2007 (UTC))

 * RJP, I'll leave it up to you exactly what is done (unless anyone else wants to get involved in the discussion). I think your suggestion of discussing the matter in the article is a good one. Here is the full quotation from Pishey Thompson (1856), which is widely considered the definitive history of Boston, but on this matter can't be said to be authoritative.

 * "The lantern, no doubt, was intended to be lighted at night for a sea-mark. The church of All Saints at York has a lantern very much resembling this of Boston; 'and tradition tells us that anciently a large lamp hung in it, which was lighted in the night time, as a mark for travellers to aim at, in this city. There is still the hook of the pulley on which the lamp hun in the steeple.' - Drake's York, p 292. And Stow tells us that the steeple had five lanterns; to wit, one at each corner, and 'It seemeth that the lanterns on the top of this steeple were meant to have been glazed, and lights in them to have been placed nightly in the winter; whereby travellers to the city might have the better sight thereof, and not miss their way.' - Survey, p542."

 * This extract is actually in a footnote to Pishey Thompson's, "History and Antiquities of Boston..." and is attributed to Mr Britton, the editor of the Linconshire Churches, in the Division of Holland. I am sending a message to someone interested in The Stump's history to see if he has any more current theories in this matter, and I will let you know via this Talk page if I hear anything. SMeeds 23:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Following my last note I have received a reply from my contacts in Boston. I will attempt to apply them to the article. SMeeds 16:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I have now added a subsection "Significance of the tower". I hope it is OK. Please feel free to copyedit it. SMeeds 17:29, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Well I originally wrote about the tower being a lantern tower after I visited the church and asked (my photos are on this page too and most of the article is my work). The people at the church seemed to think that the tower was used as a lighthouse for the port... Oh and it says too about less than half a dozen surviving examples in the UK. I know of only three surviving medieval churches with lantern towers in the UK. Others like Newcastle Cathedral aren't actually lantern towers, they are crowned spires. Also the Boston Stump is the tallest parish church to ROOF in the UK, it is not the tallest parish church.

--Gothicform 14:45, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Claims of Superlative
It would be helpful to see a measurement in the claim (under Dimensions and Statistics) that the church is the "tallest to roof" of any parish church in England.

The article on St. Bartholomew's in Brighton is a good example of how such a claim can be presented, while preserving NPOV. That church, which has no tower, claims the tallest nave of any English parish church at 135 feet plus another 9 feet for the cross.

Such superlatives are worth noting in an article, but do not seem encyclopedic without stating a measurement. Monomoit (talk) 02:09, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Much confused by tallest to roof which smacks of special pleading. Tallest_church_tower says tallest parish church tower (as opposed to spire) in England but lacks cite. --Alastair Rae (talk) 13:15, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

 * : … and Salisbury Cathedral, of course, and Freiburg Minster, and St. Peter's of Rome … 83.248.231.252 (talk) 16:43, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

History Inaccurate
The article states: "For approximately the next 20 years, theological determination was disputed between the crown, nobility and clergy in England. Political turmoil from these events led to the Hundred Years War and the eventual formation of the Church of England as we understand it today."

The first question, is "20 years" from when, to when? Second, it is inaccurate to say that the Hundred Years War resulted in the formation of the Church of England. There are far more direct precursors, including Luther and Henry VIII's dispute with Rome over the annulment of his marriage to Cathrine of Arragon. The fact remains that unlike the rest of Europe that turned Protestant during the 16th Century, England's foray into Protestantism was both hesitant and the result not so much of popular protest and conversion from below, but rigorously enforced policy from above. The North in particular reacted strongly against these policies, resulting in the Pilgrimage of Grace. While it's impossible to say, therefore, that the Hundred Years War played no role in the formation of the Anglican Church (after all, most everything is connected on some level), its contribution was at most indirect and subtle, and more properly suited for a scholarly article than encyclopedic entry.

My recommendation is to remove the quoted text, which is not a good fit for the section in any case.Mikhelos (talk) 13:51, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

2021-06-18 Agreed we should remove this. It's historically questionable and is no more relevant specifically to St Botolph's Boston than to any other mediaeval church in England. [A Kirk]

Assessment
This is a very good article, and I would like to grade it B and nominate for GA. But it still needs more in-line refs for that, Most sections are entirely unreferenced. I don't think it is unfactual, just not Wikipedia:Verifiability compliant. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section and When and why to create sources are jolly helpful too.

I enjoyed reading this article.--Robert EA Harvey (talk) 11:14, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Library
The statement that the library contains "a 1585 Baskerville Bible with its revolutionary type-face" is an impossibility. If it is a 1585 Bible it is probably an edition of the Bishops' Bible (or perhaps a Geneva Bible); if it is a Bible printed by John Baskerville it dates from 1763. Being unable to determine whether either or both are correct in the case of Boston, I have deleted the statement entirely; perhaps someone with local knowledge can provide a correct version. Camboxer (talk) 09:44, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Dimensions section
Didn't understand: "The walls of the tower are 40 feet (12.2 m) 40 feet (12.1 m)". It can't be thickness, so guessing "40 feet square" is probably what is meant. Please can someone who knows correct it :-) Taliska (talk) 00:55, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Hervé Guibert

Untitled
The language of this article is extremely biased and indeed offensive. A biography within an encyclopedia should not print opinion as if it were fact. I find the description of Guibert's death as 'embarrassing' quite upsetting. I know nothing about Guibert and have no preformed opinions of him, but this article is disrespectful and to my mind prejudiced.

78.105.64.232 (talk) 00:48, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree that these articles should be merged. I would propose that Herve Guibert be redirected to Hervé Guibert, as the latter has been editted more, has the correct title and is, IMO, the better article in terms of style. CLW 09:18, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
