Talk:Water tower

Declining use
Is better pumps/control systems the reason for the declining use of water towers? In any case, I think the cause should be mentioned in the article, maybe in conjunction with drawbacks of water towers. --81.233.75.23 20:12, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Opposing view
Water towers are continuing to be constructed across around the world, current construction backlog is over 6 months with last tower constructor I talked to, Pittsburgh Tower. New water towers continue to be constructed in all major cities.

While pump controls are getting more sophisticated, a water tower is still a very economical for what it able to produce, large reservoir of water, under pressure at the use point at grade. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinmax (talk • contribs) 04:39, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I forgot to add that by way of technical expertise, vinmax is a past president of a Municipal Water and Waste Water Utiiity District near Houston, Texas. Our design flowrate through our WWTP was 500,000 gallons per day. Everyone writting into this article has done an excellent job, I hope my additions are considered. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinmax (talk • contribs) 04:51, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

The operation of the water towers section is very poorly written, it reads like someone has cut and pasted it from a book. And rearranged in the wrong order with vital parts missing. A far better description is on: http://www.howstuffworks.com/water.htm The diagram in the wiki article is misleading as it suggests that all the water that the end user utilises goes through the top of the water tower, according to www.howstuffworks.com this is not the case. Rather the water tower acts like an accumulator on the high pressure side of the system, absorbing the peaks and troughs of the water demand. Which makes a lot more sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.53.157.250 (talk) 02:22, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

First modern in the world?
Is is said: "Completed in 1860, the Louisville Water Tower was the first modern water tower in the world". How about Tower Hill Water Tower (completed in 1854), and Grimsby Dock Tower (completed in 1852)? Louisville Water Tower is "modern", and these ones are not? Why? 195.160.253.4 (talk) 07:27, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Purpose
Perhaps energy storage may be mentioned. This can be done by adding a hydropower generator on the tube. This allows the height difference to be used as a energy source.

Largest in the world?
Where comes the claim that McBee water tower is largest in the world? 4.5 million litres is not particularly large for a water tower. And there doesn't seem to be any pics around of this supposedly great landmark, only ones which I found don't seem to depict particularly large tower. Water towers containing up to 10 million litres aren't so uncommon - the Finnish water tower pictured in the article contains 12 million litres. I'm going to remove the claim. --Mikoyan21 (talk) 19:12, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

 * When I attended college in Troy, New York we were told that the 2-million gallon (7.5+ million liters) Sycaway water tower on the hill at the north end of town was the largest free-standing, above ground water tank in the world. That was 30 years ago, so it may well have been surpassed by now.  But you are correct:  4.5 million liters (1.2 million gallons) is not particularly large for a water tower.  It's certainly nowhere near being the "largest".

Dubious
Who is disputing this claim? If no one is, the dubious tag should be removed.207.70.152.162 (talk) 15:09, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

 * The local Gannett newspaper reports that they are doing away with water towers in Florida (in flat areas you'd think they'd need them most) and implies that this is nationwide as well. The largest city in our county just dismantled their (only?) water tower. They state "alternative water storage," but don't state what that is.

Article Soft-Pedals the Main Purpose for Using a Water Tower
It seems to me that the statement, "...constructed at a height sufficient to pressurize a water supply system...", does not go far enough in explaining the main purposes for using a water tower in modern water distribution systems.

First and foremost, a water tower is a PRESSURE REGULATOR with no moving parts. When a fluid, like water, is pumped with a mechanical pump there can be unacceptable pressure fluctuations. Water, like most fluids, is not compressible so when there are no open faucets in the system, the water pressure can very quickly go very high with a piston pump. Perhaps even high enough to break the pistons or cylinders. So the pump must be stopped almost immediately when the flow is stopped or decreased. And the pressure will go down very quickly when the pump is off and the faucets are opened so the pump must also be restarted very quickly when the pressure drops. This is a very difficult thing to accomplish with mechanical devices.

By storing the water at a relatively constant height in the tank of the water tower, the pressure in the pipe leading to the faucets is also relatively constant. Thus, the tower acts as a pressure regulator and there are no moving parts to wear down. And the pump can be run for relatively long periods to bring the level in the tower up to a high point and then shut off until it drains to some mid point. Thus the pump runs in a better cycle. This greatly simplifies the design of a water distribution system and lowers the cost of maintenance.

The second main reason for water towers is to provide a emergency or back-up supply of water for conditions when it can not be pumped; such as a power or pump failure. This provides time for the maintenance personnel to repair the problems with no interruption to the flow of water to the customers.

The height of the water level in the tower determines the water pressure at the base of the tower. The formula for this is:

Pressure in PSI = 0.0360911906567 PSI X height in inches

The pressure will change by about five to fifteen percent with most towers as the water level changes from the highest to the lowest level, but this is far less than the fluctuations that may be present without it.

The water tower must be higher than the highest point where water is to be distributed without any additional pumps. Thus many high rise structures that exceed a significant fraction of the height of the local system's water towers must have their own means of pumping the water to the upper floors.

These are the two primary purposes of water towers.

I hesitate to edit the basic article, but offer this so that others can consider it in future changes.

EPA3 (talk) 06:31, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

 * You should go ahead and edit the article, per WP:BOLD. Dicklyon (talk) 06:42, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

Why not pumps vs water towers?
As quoted from the article: Alternatives to water towers are simple pumps mounted on top of the water pipes to increase the water pressure.[31] This new approach is more straightforward, but also more subject to potential public health risks; if the pumps fail, then loss of water pressure may result in entry of contaminants into the water system.[32] Most large water utilities do not use this approach, given the potential risks. Here’s what I would say to that: A Server Administrator’s approach to this problem: Have two pumps side by side that are in-line for supply (via a splitter with valves), and output (via a splitter with valves), but not in-line with each other. Both have capacity that far exceeds normal throughput. Both operate all the time, but at half capacity (slower, but lines still fully charged), so the combination output equals 100 percent. Should one pump fail the other ramps up to full 100% capacity immediately and automatic valves isolate the bad pump side until fixed. Sensors automatically alert the Water company to start the fix. Have two pumps ready in reserve for immediate replacement, re-order new pump to restock while still having a backup just in case. Result, no downtime, no loss of pressure to allow introduction of contaminants, no loss of service, no loss of capacity. Problem solved.

BTW, This would surely be much less expensive than the cost of a water tower! Indigob2016 (talk) 04:42, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Pumping stations generally do have two or three pumps and a generator. Some small systems don't have any elevated storage and are able to get by like you describe. It's still better to have a tower. The tower gives more regular downstream pressure than is possible with pumps. One of the problems with using only pumps is, there is a relationship between pressure and flow rate, you can't increase or decrease one parameter as you desire without affecting the other parameter. The controller can only increase or decrease the pump speed. Pumps are not equally efficient throughout their whole operating ranges; they have a best efficiency point. If operating very far from the best efficiency point, the pump might even have problems like cavitation which will damage it. A system with a water tower will be designed to keep the pump operating as close as possible to the best efficiency point at all times while the pump is on.

Another issue with having the pumps run all day long every day, is they wear out faster. Pumps are very expensive and the purchase of a new set of pumps is a big capital investment that may require months for delivery. You generally can't order a new one immediately when one breaks.

Another alternative to a water tower, is to use a tank at ground level which is pressurized with air pressure (called a hydropneumatic tank). These can have a bladder to separate the air side from the water side, but more often it's just an air-and-water tank with no bladder. The volume of the tank helps even out fluctuations in the system pressure just like a water tower would, but they tend to be a lot smaller because they have to be pressurized (thousands of gallons, instead of hundreds of thousands of gallons), and they won't cut it for big systems. Baller McGee (talk) 19:30, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Really?
This article starts: "A water tower is an elevated structure supporting a water tank constructed at a height sufficient to pressurize a water supply system for the distribution of potable water, and to provide emergency storage for fire protection." Why the qualification "potable"? What about a water tower to provide water for steam locomotives for example - clearly potable water wasn't required, nor were they for water protection. Suspect you'd also find water towers at some industrial sites, etc. to provide water for manufacturing processes, etc. In any case, this lead sounds a lot like original research to me... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.50.90.64 (talk) 21:18, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

"Wierd and Wonderful Wales"
In the title and list of contents, the word "Weird" is misspelled as "Wierd" (but the correct spelling is used in the text). I would change this myself, but it's a title and is presumably linked to the list of contents, so I'll leave this to someone with the necessary technical knowledge.84.243.236.9 (talk) 14:57, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Standpipe??
The article starts off mentioning that the terms "water tower" and "standpipe" can be used interchangeably, and then goes on to have a whole section devoted especially to "standpipes". This certainly needs some explaining. --BjKa (talk) 22:45, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

It's a very generic term, "a vertical pipe that is connected to a water supply". A standpipe may not have a significant amount of storage but is used for pressure regulation, an example being Philadelphia’s Spiral Standpipe. Larger diameter standpipes could also store a volume of water, they were later called water towers when they were built with long metal legs instead of a single pipe rising from the ground. Dougmcdonell (talk) 00:53, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

 * In that case - why does the article say that very few standpipes remain? I see "standpipes" (that is, cylindrical water towers) all over the place in the midwest. John D. Goulden (talk) 19:33, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

tallest table
this table should have a column for actual water tank height. The water height is unlikely to be much over 100m (for feeding a public water system) as the pressure would be too high. Gjxj (talk) 12:37, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Tallest?
The "Pinnacle height" column should be changed to "Greatest height at which water is stored."

For example, the Swisscom tower, currently "tallest" in the table, reaches 250 m only because it's topped by a 98 m antenna – which has nothing to do with the tower's secondary function of water storage. For those interested in the heights at which towers store water, the 250 m figure is irrelevant.

The "tallest table" section on this page argues for the same thing, using a different argument. 2601:281:D47E:1920:81BB:8350:3633:63F2 (talk) 01:10, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

History
There were notable and interesting uses of water towers in ancient times, and the History section should not gloss over this. For example, there was a water tower 1700 years ago at Mediana – and that was probably not the first. 2601:281:D47E:1920:81BB:8350:3633:63F2 (talk) 01:17, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

N-shaped standpipes
I am requesting clarification on the (uncited) "tall, exposed, N-shaped" standpipes used in the United Kingdom in the 19th century. In what way are they N-shaped? Uppercase N or lowercase n? My conception of a standpipe is just a vertical cylinder extending up from the ground to a great height. Baller McGee (talk) 19:58, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Much of the article seems to have been cut-and-pasted from the Gaulodet history web page. Pawsplay (talk) 00:23, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

This article is completely biased against the Deaf community and the realities of this movement. I agree with the above statement that it should be removed as there are obviously people who are completely biased who continue to control the content. The article misrepresents the FACTS. This was not about a Deaf candidate, as I.King Jordan is not Deaf, but deaf. To me, this was much more of a compromise than a simple desire to have a president who was deafened. Zinser had NO qualifications or any semblance of understanding of Deaf-World issues, which is why she was flatly rejected. There is a growing number of individuals who would love to control Gallaudet, and the Deaf population, and these powers come from Oralism and the Medical community. The fact that this page is changed back to this one-sided opinion every time anyone alters it to represent the truth, shows the lengths to which some will go through to force their obviously uneducated OPINIONS of what transpired here. DEAF POWER! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.204.18.248 (talk) 16:54, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

"Deaf" or "deaf"
I came to this talk page to see if anyone had explained why an ordinary adjective like "deaf" is capitalized throughout the article. From the comment above, I gather that the purpose of the capital is to distinguish those who cannot hear from those who refuse to hear. If I have understood the distinction correctly, I would say then that the capital should be changed back to a lower-case letter because using a capital in this manner politicizes this article, and Wikipedia articles should be unbiased. For a lay person, the capitalization is also unnecessarily distracting. Hattrick (talk) 15:25, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I came here with the same concern, but just before changing the article I searched for capitalization rules. As stated at Deaf culture in the United States, the term is capitalized when referring to members of the Deaf Community, and the practice appears to be adopted in scholar literature.  Still, I think some kind of note would help those confused.  Perhaps a finedetail? Hoof Hearted (talk) 20:12, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The purpose of the capitalization of the 'D' is not political. It would cause the Wikipedia articles to become biased if they chose to side with the medical definition of hearing disability and reject the culturally defined definition of deaf ability. The capitalization serves to distinguish the differences between medically deaf and unable to hear with those who identify themselves as culturally Deaf. Being culturally Deaf goes beyond the inability to hear. Those who identify themselves as Deaf with a capital 'D' view themselves as part of a minority group of people with their own language, stories, art, and experiences. Some Deaf people are proud of their deafness as part of their identity, considered. They do not consider it as a crippling disability as they are able to have full lives without being able to hear. An elderly person with declining hearing loss or a person who recently had an accident that deafened them would be considered deaf but not Deaf as they have no ties to the Deaf community. It can take a long time for a deaf person to become culturally Deaf, learning a new language, meeting with other Deaf people, and accepting their deafness as part of their identity. However, it can be hereditary with the culture passing on from Deaf parents to Deaf children. By changing the capitalization to a lower-case letter you would be ignoring the minority group of people whose shared experiences, unique language, and culture have been developing for more than hundreds of years. Thus limiting their identity and history to a disability defined only by the medical field.RCovell (talk) 17:39, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
 * no argument over the capitalization in the article. I just thought it was a good idea to add a note explaining why it is correct when many will see it as a grammatical mistake.  However, that edit was undone without explanation.  I guess we're counting on those who are confused to come to this talk page. Hoof Hearted (talk) 13:24, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Merge
This article discusses a mostly-forgotten, peaceful protest that took place at Gallaudet University. I recently deleted a massive amount of wholly inappropriate material, removing, by my calculation, approximately 57.1% of the article's content.

Article Edits
Hi everyone, I just wanted to post here because I've recently been making a lot of edits to the page. I just wanted to give a summary of all the edits I made so far and the reasons why I've made them.

So I've removed the different dated sections and put the protest as one big section. I did this because there wasn't enough content under each day to section it off. I moved one of the references Deaf President Now! by Sharon Barnett and John Christiansen to the sources section. I did this rather than have the book cited throughout the entire article because a lot of the information in this article is attributed to that book. Every line would have to be cited to that book throughout the article if I did in-line citations for it. I changed a lot of the actual content in the article as well. After heavily reading and reviewing the source Deaf President Now! by Sharon Barnett and John Christiansen I changed a lot of the article to be accurate with the information depicted within that book. I included information that the book heavily covers, such as the group the "Ducks." I also removed some information that I feel was extraneous and not notable enough/relevant enough to the protest to be included such as the March 5th candlelight vigil.

Alittlebird1 (talk) 23:07, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
 * you also removed a note explaining the capitalization of Deaf used throughout the article. Was that your intent?  See Talk:Deaf President Now above. Hoof Hearted (talk) 13:32, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

New Orleans Brass

The New Orleans Brass were a hockey team in the ECHL from 1997 to 2002. The team was at one time affiliated with the San Jose Sharks. Home games were played first at the New Orleans Municipal Auditorium (until October 29, 1999) and then at the New Orleans Arena. In 2002, the NBA's Charlotte Hornets moved to New Orleans and became the primary tenant in the arena. The New Orleans Hornets (now the New Orleans Pelicans) pressured the state of Louisiana, which owns the arena, into demanding that the Brass bear the expense of converting the arena to and from basketball and hockey as a condition of staying in the arena. The expense was more than the Brass' ownership was willing to pay. The Municipal Auditorium had recently replaced its floor, and in the process removed its ice plant. Without a suitable home, the Brass folded.

The only head coach of the Brass was Ted Sator. The team's first GM was Larry Kish, who was succeeded by Dan Belisle. Future New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin was a co-owner and president of the team. The most prominent player was former Boston Bruin Jeff Lazaro, who was one of two players to play every season for the Brass, and who is the team's career leader in most statistical categories.

The Brass made the playoffs every year, winning three series, two in the 1998–99 season (the same season the Brass earned its worst record), and one in the 2000–01 season, putting the Brass in the conference semifinals and quarterfinals, respectively. The principal rivals of the Brass were the Louisiana IceGators and the Mississippi Sea Wolves (Biloxi, MS). The Baton Rouge Kingfish were another, intrastate rival for the Brass.

The team's games were broadcast in New Orleans on radio station WSMB (now WWWL). The first radio voice of the Brass was Steve Carroll, who is now the radio voice of the Anaheim Ducks.

Rather, where the petition's purpose is to enforce payment of a debt which is genuinely disputed in good faith, the court will refuse it.

Per Buckley L.J. in Stonegate Securities [1980] Ch 576 at 579 "Where a creditor petitions for the winding up of a company, the proceedings will take one of two courses, depending upon whether the petitioner is a creditor whose debt is presently due, or one whose debt is contingent or prospective by reason of the proviso in paragraph (c) of section 224 (1). If the creditor petitions in respect of a debt which he claims to be presently due, and that claim is undisputed, the petition proceeds to hearing and adjudication in the normal way; but if the company in good faith and on substantial grounds disputes any liability in respect of the alleged debt, the petition will be dismissed or, if the matter is brought before a court before the petition is issued, its presentation will in normal circumstances be restrained. That is because a winding up petition is not a legitimate means of seeking to enforce payment of a debt which is bona fide disputed." (my emphasis) 129.67.137.47 (talk) 21:56, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Fresh Start Options for Limited Companies (Ltd)
A search for this phrase (which is a section heading in the article) finds only this article. It looks inappropriate here; like the name of a company, or a govt scheme. —Tamfang (talk) 08:29, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

== There are two meanings for liquidation: one of them is the topic in this article, the other meaning refers to the ellimination and execution of people for accusations of treason - this term has been used this way in Marxist-Leninist states ==

As mentioned in the subject title, there is another prominent meaning for "liquidation", this article will probably need to become a disambiguation page to the different meanings.--R-41 (talk) 13:08, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Since the article is discussing the end of a BUSINESS, it's pretty much understood that there are no killing of people involved. 2600:8800:786:A300:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 09:59, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi.
I'm talking to the future on the day of November 18, 2012. I've heard a lot of talk about this "Hostess liquidation", so I came to look up what a "liquidation" was. However, I wanted a brief definition, and this article has no lead.

I find your lack of lead disturbing. --74.67.168.242 (talk) 15:54, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

"Compulsory Liquidation"
The section on "Compulsory Liquidation" mentions who can 'call' for it and how it is to be carried out.

But NO WHERE does it "define" what "compulsory liquidation" IS.

If it's just another term or way of saying "forced liquidation," then include that. And include how it is "forced." 2600:8800:786:A300:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 09:55, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Investment meaning
"Liquidation" can also mean termination of an investment position, at least in the cryptocurrency market. Errantius (talk) 21:46, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Bill Monroe Museum

The Bill Monroe Museum is a project of Ohio County and the Ohio County Tourism Commission. It is the only Museum dedicated entirely to the life and legacy of Bill Monroe and the early foundations of bluegrass music. The museum opened April 24, 2018 in Rosine, Kentucky.

The ground was broken on May 22, 2017, just across the street in Rosine from the Rosine Barn Jamboree in a field where Bill Monroe himself used to play baseball before performing for crowds. This was the result of two years' collaboration with local and state dignitaries to secure funding for the building. Currently, while construction is fully funded and construction is not in question, there is not enough funding to finish the build-out on the inside of the museum. Jody Flener, Executive Director of Ohio County Tourism, said, "without additional funding, we won't be able to open to the public. A shell and memorabilia doesn't quite make a museum."

Bubble Memories

Bubble Memories: The Story of Bubble Bobble III (バブルメモリーズ) is a video game by Taito released to arcades in February 1996. It is the sequel to Bubble Symphony and is the fifth Bubble Bobble game (although it is listed as being the third). Unlike Bubble Symphony, this game stars only two dragons, Bub and Bob, like the original Bubble Bobble. It was released in 2007 for PlayStation 2 in Japan only as part of the Taito Memories II Volume 1 compilation.

Plot
One day, the twins Bubby and Bobby, intermarried with Bub and Bob, playing together to the tower where they live, are transformed into bubble-blowing dragons by the evil Dark Super Great Dragon that takes possession of the tower. The twins must climb the 80 floors of the tower to take seven colorful potions, free it from his clutches and regain their human forms.

Bub and Bob are young boys in the intro, indicating that this is a prequel to the series.

Gameplay
Bub and Bob are once again transformed into bubble dragons and have to climb up the Rainbow Tower to fight the Super Dark Great Dragon, while collecting potions to turn back into human form.

Bubble Memories: The Story of Bubble Bobble III does very little to change the gameplay of the series, except for introducing giant enemies on some levels, different bosses, and a way to blow giant bubbles after charging up (especially for killing the giant enemies). Giant bubbles can be blown by charging up the character, the bubble button is held until the character's horns begin flashing and then releasing the button. There are a total of 80 levels, while the last 10 levels can only be accessed by collecting 7 potions. The potions are located in invisible tiles on every fifth level, and missing any of the 7 potions will lead to the bad end at level 70, where the players' dragons are turned into monsters. If all 7 potions are gathered at level 70, the players continue on to fight the final boss. Reviewers indicate that later levels introduce puzzle elements, requiring players to use their bubbles in new ways to proceed.

Reception
In Japan, Game Machine listed Bubble Memories on their May 15, 1996 issue as being the twenty-first most-successful arcade game of the month.

Speedy deletion nomination of Woehblurk
A tag has been placed on Woehblurk requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.  ttonyb (talk) 07:11, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Almost notable people

A tag has been placed on Almost notable people requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. NortyNort (Holla) 10:02, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. I need to do a bit more research on that. Probably many of the same things I've been working on in the past. 23skidoo 00:39, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I've been quite pleased with the series of articles K1Bond007 and I have put together relating to the James Bond novels. There's still plenty of work to do but I like how that group of articles have turned out. Also, because of my own personal knowledge of the subject I'm quite happy with the article on Rock Around the Clock which I reworked. 23skidoo 00:39, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. Occasionally I get a little put out if someone takes the letter of the law too literally or assumes all articles are like comparing apples to apples, but on the whole things have moved fairly smoothly around here for me. 23skidoo 00:39, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The above adminship discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the talk page of either this nomination or the nominated user). No further edits should be made to this page.

Can someone please verify that the IUPAC nomenclature is acetic anhydride rather than ethanoic anhydride: I believe the latter is correct, but the former is placed on the article. Richard  n  20:22, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Acetic anhydride is right. See and. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 21:35, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

So why not draw it with the carbonyls not facing each other then?

There is free rotation about both C-O bonds, and both methyl groups are equivalent by 1H NMR. Chemists like symmetry and this depiction seems more popular. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 02:33, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Abbreviation or shorthand nonsense?

 * When I was on the page for ethanoic acid, I read that it is „commonly“ abbreviated as Ac. I am not against the abbreviated of majuscule A & minuscule c [a very nice & convenient abbreviation if you ask me,] but accoding to scientific rules of chemical nomenclature, an abbreviation of a chemical shall only contain elements, not compounds. There is even an interesting category of the naming of chemicals. Throughout my study of chemistry, I have never encountered exceptions to these rules [nor have I ever encountered the abbreviation of Ac, except only for the element 89. All I am asking if you can please provide with a reliable reference to your claim, say an updated book that includes & describes the abbreviation.
 * Also, if it is not too much to ask can you also [anyone] fix the synonyms for the page Acetic anhydride. Ethyl_acetate, [though the chemical structure to acetic acid], is not the synonym for acetate anhydride. So, „Ethanoyl ethanoate“ is not the synonym for Acetate anhydride. As you can read by the chemical name itself, the suffix „-ide“ [being a single atom anion] is not the same as „-ate“ [being a polyatomic anion.] Then again, you can reference back to the derivative of acetic acid, acetate & argue the same. So, please: All I ask for everyone in Wikipedia is not to edit Wikipedia without assurance of reliable information, which means everyone needs to do their job to research before editing the page. Use the playground to carry out any mischievous experiments. Thank you.
 * 序名三「Jyonasan」 Talk Stalk  20:09, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
 * These are potentially useful suggestions and ideas. I think that most editors are pretty careful around the chemistry pages. The consensus seems to be that we not focus on formal nomenclature rules, which can distract from the otherwise very taxing problem of conveying the chemical concepts.  People reading these pages are trying to understand bonds and routes, not abbreviations.  We mainly use chemical formulas.  I agree that Ac is not what I usually see (mainly OAc). --Smokefoot (talk) 20:26, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Off-topic chat
ex-USSR

Acetic anhydride was very popular among the junkies of ex-USSR for cooking heroin-like injectable drug from dry poppies, exactly like the ones sold in flower shops for $5 a poppy. A dose would take about 4-5 poppies so with that and time consumed on cooking and risks of bad or impure cook (a whole magic onto itself) - it makes more sense to just buy heroin from street drug dealers for $20 a dose--74.57.167.219 (talk) 01:08, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Omission from "Structure and properties" section
At the end of the last paragraph in "Structure and properties" there is a parenthetical note saying "see electron density diagram." There is no electron density diagram anywhere on the article page and there is no direct link to another page that would have this information, not even a reference. I assume this was just an oversight, but if no diagram is forthcoming then perhaps this note should be removed. Lumberjane Lilly (talk) 17:00, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Jim Westwood

Jim Westwood is the former chief engineer who worked at Sinclair Research Ltd in the 1980s, starting at the company in 1963. Westwood was the technical mastermind behind many of Sinclair's products and worked there for more than twenty years.

Sir Clive Sinclair and Westwood shared a connection even before they met when Westwood had previously worked at an electronics store in London which was owned by Bernard Babani, Sinclair's publisher. This gave Westwood a good degree of familiarity with Sinclair's designs, which prompted him to join Sinclair's fledgling company, Sinclair Radionics. Westwood subsequently had a hand in most of the company's products, including the calculators, audio equipment, ZX Spectrum computers and TV80.

He is still designing hardware for Amino Communications, and is a partner in Cambridge Electronics Consultancy.

Colin Michael Carmichael plays Westwood in the 2009 BBC television movie Micro Men. Westwood also had a cameo in the movie.

Can/is hydrogensae used as a catalyst in fuel cells? I've read an article in Tieteen Kuvalehti (check my talk topic here) that it is used in such a manner at least for research purposes. Khokkanen 21:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * A response three years latter is ridiculous but I'm sure others wonder about this. Practically speaking hydrogensae are still not an anode catalyst in any operational PEM cell.  There are usually 1 or 2 academic papers a year in which someone does a "proof of concept" study to show that they could be an anode catalyst or more commonly to show them as a cathode in hydrogen production cell.  In both cases the issues discussed below apply.

 * In practice the protein is to temperamental in terms of a limited range of stability to humidity, salt concentrations, pH, oxygen sensitivity, temperature, and they suffer a natural half-life. These issue make them impractical for industrial application on an electrode.  The biological mode of action in which proteins are periodically consumed by the cell and regenerated doesn't work outside fermentation reactors so far.  On an electrode this mode of action means constantly removing and applying the surface mechanically or some how convincing a unicellular organism to do it for you.  If you have a unicellular organism do it than you completed a major challenge next you have to keep that finicky cell alive in the system.  I hope that helps.

 * Also I was recently at a talk in which the speaker's group sequenced the contents of a termite's hind gut and identified a great number of hydrogensae enzymes. It is also known that the termite gut has as extremely high levels of hydrogen.  Someone who knows more about biology and this subject might want to add this to the page. --OMCV (talk) 15:58, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

2001 Los Angeles mayoral election

The 2001 Los Angeles mayoral election took place on April 10, 2001, with a run-off election on June 5, 2001. Incumbent mayor Richard Riordan was prevented from running for a third term because of term limits. In the election to replace him, then-City Attorney James Hahn defeated Antonio Villaraigosa, the former speaker of the California State Assembly.

Municipal elections in California, including Mayor of Los Angeles, are officially nonpartisan; candidates' party affiliations do not appear on the ballot.

Primary election
The primary election for Mayor was held on April 10, 2001. Villaraigosa finished first, with 30 percent of the vote. Hahn was second with 25 percent of the vote. City elections in Los Angeles are nonpartisan; the top two vote-getters advance to the runoff if no contender reaches 50 percent.

Riordan had endorsed his Senior Advisor and Parks Commissioner, businessman Steve Soboroff, to replace him. Soboroff, the only prominent Republican in the race, finished third with 21 percent of the vote. Also competing in the primary election were longtime Los Angeles City Council member Joel Wachs, United States Representative Xavier Becerra, and then-California State Controller Kathleen Connell. They finished with 11, 6 and 5 percent of the vote, respectively.

The Los Angeles Times made a dual endorsement of Hahn and Villaraigosa in the primary election, while the City's other daily newspapers, The Los Angeles Daily News and The Daily Breeze endorsed Soboroff.

The mayoral campaign of Xavier Becerra ran a tape of someone impersonating Gloria Molina disparaging the voting record of mayoral candidate Antonio Villaraigosa. The tape was run by campaign staffer Lloyd Monserratt, and though no laws had been broken, this action tarnished the reputations of all involved.

General election
Riordan switched his endorsement to Villaraigosa in the general election. Despite the popular Republican Mayor's endorsement, as well as the endorsement of the Los Angeles Times, Villaraigosa was unable to capture a majority. Hahn won the general election on June 5, 2001 with 53.53 percent of the vote, to Villaraigosa's 46.47 percent.

Soboroff and Becerra remained neutral in the general election. Wachs endorsed Villaraigosa.

Further information
Hahn was sworn in as Los Angeles' 40th mayor in the summer of 2001. Hahn faced Villaraigosa in a runoff rematch in the 2005 Los Angeles Mayoral election. In that race, Villaraigosa defeated Hahn to become the 41st mayor of Los Angeles.

Soboroff would go on to become a Senior Fellow at UCLA and to the head of the Playa Vista development on Los Angeles' Westside, while Wachs became president of the Andy Warhol Foundation in New York City and Connell was termed out of her post as State Controller. Becerra remained a member of the United States Congress until his appointment to succeed Senator Kamala Harris as Attorney General of California in 2017.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Graft

 * ''The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a successful request for adminship. Please do not modify it.

Graft
[ Vote here]  (26/4/2) ending 21:03 21:02, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

– (Self-nomination) I've been editing here for many years and recently decided I ought to be doing more to contribute in a community-wise way. I'm pretty even-keeled, rarely get in protracted fights, never been disciplined for anything, and I think I'm pretty good at finding compromises. I haven't, however, been much involved in arbitration, RfCs, etc., and think that I should maybe be doing more things other than editing at this point. Graft 21:03, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Oppose Neutral Neutral Hmm I don't know. I don't think he understands policy enough being as he can't be involved in arbitration anyways unless he is an arbitrator. Job e  6   22:51, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose, this person has been here since 2002, and only has over 2000 edits. Any passive editor could do that in three years. I don't think you're qualified for adminship. Private Butcher 23:38, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment That doesn't mean that much, really, other than editcountitis. Even for the editcountitis bit, have you seen Durin's completely brilliant charts? They show the frequency of edits in a given period, among other things, and that's more important than total edits. Anyway, just because this fellow hasn't put in 50 edits a day since day one doesn't mean he won't be a good admin. Some people go on long wikibreaks, and God bless them for it—there's something called life out there that's good to be a part of sometimes. If someone registers, has 30 edits, leaves, comes back a year later, signs in again and is an active contributor, than he's hardly at fault for having, say, only 2000 edits in a eighteen month period. Just thought that that's kinda a stringent requirement for adminship. I mean, an admin doesn't have to be someone who logs on every other day, they can just as easily be someone who puts in a few edits a week on RC patrol. It won't kill us. And anyway, after having gone through his contribs, it looks to me like he's editing on at least a bi- or tri-weekly basis and has been for some time (save a wee gap in September). --Blackcap | talk 00:28, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose Seconded, although this user has lots of time on wiki 50% of the total edit content is talk pages . Perhaps its just me but I think admins should be doing more article editing/creation than just talking. Graft, please dont take this as a personal afront, what edits you do have are very good and quite useful, but it seems very low and very little for such a long time as a user.  ALKIVAR ™[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 07:17, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose till user sets an email id. =Nichalp «Talk»=  04:57, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose: Nominee has been here long enough to understand policies and their application. Edits look good. Seems a decent candidate with two exceptions; low use of edit summaries and the fact that the user is not on frequently enough to be a successful administrator. Administrators need to be available, in contact, and participating in ongoing discussions/debates. 1.2 edits per day over the last 90 days is just too low of a participation level for me to feel this admin will be successful. --Durin 14:28, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose for reasons stated above. PedanticallySpeaking 17:15, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Re-read his comment if you would - I don't read them that way at all. Guettarda 01:43, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Please answer the standard questions below. Thanks! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk |  WS 23:56, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Please answer the standard questions before I can tell anything! Thanks! 02:58, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I can see that the nominee hasn't stated acceptance yet. Maybe we should decide things later? 02:59, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * This is a self-nomination, so it's fair to assume that it's accepted. . . (preceding unsigned comment by Revision as of 08:12, October 1, 2005)
 * 1) Neutral No excuse in not answereing the questions on a self nom. Job  e  6  [[Image:Peru flag large.png|20px]] 16:03, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * He's answered them now. --Blackcap | talk 18:15, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Comments
 * Err, sorry for the delay in filling out these questions - I didn't realize this process moved so quickly and mere hours would be so significant! Graft 16:55, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * A chart showing this user's edits along with a total number of edits line and average edits per day line is available here: Image:Graft-edits.png. This chart was done on request of User:Dragons flight. --Durin 14:24, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Uses edit summaries 41% of the time, 34%% of the time over the last 500 edits. Average edits per day is 1.8, 1.2 over the last 90 days. --Durin 14:24, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I think this RfA is a perfect example of what's wrong with RfA (as discussed on the Talk page). After three years of solid contributions ("solid" in terms of quality of additions, and in terms of being level-headed), Graft has proven that he is a solid Wikipedian, who is highly unlikely to abuse admin tools.  People can maintain a pretense for a few months - we have no problem promoting people who are relatively new but show promise.  Jimbo described adminship as "no big deal" - simply the fact that users should not have extra powers until they are well enough known by the community.  After three years, Graft is a known quantity.  And unlike so many other people who burn brightly and then burn out, he's still here.  So why the editcountitis?  Cut the senior citizens a little slack ;)  Guettarda 22:08, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * For me, edit counting isn't the issue in the sense of only X number of edits over Y time. The issue is that this user's presence and activity in the project is quite low. An admin needs to be active in order to stay abreast of policy changes, be involved in ongoing debates and discussions to which they are party, and respond to user requests on issues the admin has taken action on. Low participation says nothing about the user's trustworthiness or ability to be a good editor. It does say, to me, a lot about the nominee's ability to succeed as an admin. If this user had the # of edits they have, but 80% of them were in the last six months, their level of activity over the recent period would be much higher. I'd be much more inclined to vote support. But, the pattern over the last three years has stayed relatively stable and low; there's no reason to expect a sudden increase in activity should they become an admin. --Durin 16:19, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Your point makes sense if one pre-supposes an administrative function for admins. However, trustworthiness is the only criterion that matters for adminship.  As I read things, there is no administrative role for admins - while many take an adminstrative role, it isn't part of the job description.  There's a janitorial role for admins (if they choose to embrace it), but mostly adminship supplies editorial tools.  I uploaded an image last week, realised there was a problem, and deleted it.  If I was not an admin I would have had to put a speedy tag on it, and an admin would have had to delete it because s/he was trusted with tools that a non-admin did not have.  As for "staying current", there is no guarantee that someone who has done a lot of editing in anticipation of an RFA will keep up with things.  On the other hand, one can easily judge whether they think someone like Graft, who has a three-year history, will do things rashly (or whether, called upon to make a policy decision, is likely to act cautiously and find out what the rules are, if he doesn't know what they are).  As for success as an admin - 172 and Everyking would meet your predictors for "success" as an admin, but one ended up de-sysop'd and the other had an arbcomm injunction against them.  Ed Poor knows Wikipedia inside out, but keeps getting embroiled in controversy.  When it comes down to it, this is a project to write an encylcopaedia, everything else is ancillary.  Sysop tools are useful to editors.  Anyone the community is sure won't abuse the tools should have them.  Adminship should not be an elite club.  There is no cabal.  These are not the droids you are looking for.  Guettarda 16:50, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I respectfully disagree. However, this RfA is not the forum for long discussions on these points and thus I will not respond in full as I did above. Thank you, --Durin 16:58, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. Although I don't imagine I'm going to be that helpful as far as watching for vandalism or edit wars because I don't edit for many hours continuously, I'd like to be useful in general janitorial tasks (like deleting/moving pages) which need to get done.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I was rather pleased with the first version of binocular vision that I wrote long ago, in the middle of editing a whole spate of visual system articles, but that version is long gone now. I rewrote genetic drift a while ago into a much more coherent form. Also I wrote a bunch of stuff about the Mexican Revolution which I thought was rather good at the time (although probably not by "modern" standards).
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. I've obviously been involved in many editing conflicts. I don't think I get greatly stressed out by it. My usual method of dealing with conflicts is simply adhering to the facts of the debate, delineating and spelling out my arguments in support of the points at issue, and generally eschewing ad hominem as much as possible, which is I think the way to be most productive towards resolving and moving past the dispute.
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page. No further edits should be made to this page.

Arabici

The Arabici (meaning "Arabians") were a small Christian sect of the 3rd century. The name of their founder is lost to history. Augustine of Hippo labelled them "Arabici" in the belief that this sect flourished in Arabia. Other sources referred to them occasionally as Thnetopcychitae (θνητοψυχῖται) or Thanatopsychitae (meaning "(believers in) the death of the soul").

The Arabici believed the soul was to perish with the body, though both soul and body would be revived again on Judgement Day. The Arabici theorized this from their study of I Tim., vi, 16, "Who only hath immortality." This passage, they held, ascribes immortality to God alone, and therefore prevents its possession by man. The Arabici's estrangement from the main body of Christianity only lasted approximately 40 years. At a council in 250 AD, the Arabici were reconciled to mainline Christianity, through the persuasive mediation of Origen.

Baptism by fire

The phrase baptism by fire, baptism of fire or baptism with fire is a Christian theological concept originating from the words of John the Baptist in Matthew 3:11.

It also has related meanings in military history and popular culture.

Christianity
The term baptism with fire originated from the words of John the Baptist in Matthew 3:11 (and the parallel passage in Luke 3:16).:

"Matthew 3:11 'I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire' King James Version 1611"

Many Christian writers, such as John Kitto, have noted that this could be taken as a hendiadys, the Spirit as fire, or as pointing out two distinct baptisms - one by the Spirit, one by fire. If two baptisms, then various meanings have been suggested for the second baptism, by fire - to purify each single individual who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior to be the temple of the Holy Spirit, to cast out demons and to destroy the stronghold of the flesh by the Fire of God.

Of this expression, J. H. Thayer commented: "to overwhelm with fire (those who do not repent), i.e., to subject them to the terrible penalties of hell". W. E. Vine noted regarding the "fire" of this passage: "of the fire of Divine judgment upon the rejectors of Christ, Matt. 3:11 (where a distinction is to be made between the baptism of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and the fire of Divine retribution)". Arndt and Gingrich speak of the "fire of divine Judgment Mt. 3:11; Lk. 3:16".

However, as J. W. McGarvey observed, the phrase "baptize you ... in the fire" also refers to the day of Pentecost, because there was a "baptism of fire" which appears as the tongue of fire on that day. Parted "tongues," which were mere "like as of fire ... sat upon" each of the apostles. Those brothers were "overwhelmed with the fire of The Holy Spirit" on that occasion. Similarly, Matthew Henry comments that as "fire make[s] all it seizes like itself... so does the Spirit make the soul holy like itself."

The concept of baptism by 'fire and the Holy Spirit' lies behind the Consolamentum rite of the Cathars or Albigenses.

Methodism (inclusive of the holiness movement)
In Methodism (inclusive of the holiness movement), baptism by fire is synonymous with the second work of grace: entire sanctification, which is also known as Baptism with the Holy Spirit. John Fletcher, Methodism's systematic theologian, explicated baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire as the experience of Christian perfection (entire sanctification): "Scripture reckons the coming of the spiritual kingdom of Christ with power into the heart of believers, and the baptism of fire, or the perfect love, which burns up the chaff of sin, thoroughly purges God's floor, and make the hearts of perfect believers a habitation of God through the Spirit, and not a nest for indwelling sin." John Fletcher quoted George Whitefield who answered the reason that the second blessing was given after the Ascension of Jesus: "Because till then He was Himself on the earth, and had not taken on Him the kingly office, not pleaded the merits of His death before His heavenly Father, by which he purchased that invaluable blessing for us." Fletcher described entire sanctification as being the "full measure of the spirit, which perfects Christian believers." This theology is echoed in the doctrine of the various Methodist denominations:

In the view of Fletcher, the "latter day glory" would "exceed the first effusion of the Spirit" at Pentecost; he wrote: "Seeing that they on the day of Pentecost bare witness to the grace of our Lord, so shall we, and like them spread the name of love." To this end, "Fletcher taught that the day of Pentecost was the opening of the dispensation of the Spirit, and he insisted that believers now are called upon to receive the same baptismal fire."

Jabulani Sibanda, a theologian in the Wesleyan-Arminian tradition, says with regard to entire sanctification: "This experience is important because it is the second work of grace. It leads to purity of heart, and it is the baptism by fire (Matthew 3:11) in which impurities are dealt with. This experience symbolizes the death to self as Paul said that he is crucified with Christ, “…I do not live but Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:20). It is the singleness of the eye. “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness” (Matthew 6:22–23 KJV). Singleness of the eye is the opposite of what James addresses as double mindedness. He calls people to cleanse their hands and purify their hearts. The person focuses on God alone; he or she is no longer unstable. It is also an experience of devotedness and separateness to God. This is an experience of one giving oneself totally to God."

Irwinism
The Fire-Baptized Holiness Church, under the leadership of Benjamin Hardin Irwin, taught a third work of grace (baptism with fire) subsequent to the first work of grace and second work of grace of Methodism. The Fire-Baptized Holiness Church, as with Methodism, held that the first work of grace was the New Birth; the second work of grace was entire sanctification (baptism with the Holy Spirit). However, whereas John Fletcher (the systematic theologian of Methodism) regarded the baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire as being the second work of grace, Benjamin Hardin Irwin distinguished between baptism with the Holy Ghost and baptism with fire, holding that the latter was a third work of grace. The Constitution and General Rules of the Fire Baptized Holiness Association, with respect to the third work of grace (baptism of fire) taught:

However, after the advent of Holiness Pentecostalism, the majority of the Fire-Baptized Holiness Church accepted the Holiness Pentecostal position of the third work of grace being baptism of the Holy Ghost and Fire evidenced by speaking in tongues, while another part of the Fire-Baptized Holiness Church (now called the Bible Holiness Church) returned to the Methodist position of two works of grace: (1) New Birth and (2) entire sanctification (Baptism with the Holy Spirit).

Pentecostalism
In Pentecostalism, baptism by fire is synonymous with Spirit baptism, which is accompanied by glossolalia (speaking in tongues). In Holiness Pentecostalism, baptism with the Holy Spirit evidenced by speaking in tongues is the third work of grace, following the first work of grace (the New Birth) and the second work of grace (entire sanctification). The baptism of the Holy Ghost is taught by Holiness Pentecostals to empower the Christian believer for service to God.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the term relates to confirmation and the phrase "baptism of fire" or "baptism by fire" appears several times in Latter-day Saint canonized scripture, including: ; ; ; and.

The relation between the confirmation of the Holy Ghost and the baptism of fire is explained by David A. Bednar, a church apostle: "the Holy Ghost is a sanctifier who cleanses and burns dross and evil out of human souls as though by fire".

Military usage
In the military usage, a baptism by fire refers to a soldier's first time in battle. Writers such as John Deedy have stated that the term in a military sense entered the English language in 1822 as a translation of the French phrase baptême du feu. From military usage, the term has extended into many other areas in relation to an initiation into a new role. The "Baptism By Fire: CIA Analysis of the Korean War" compilation features 1,300 documents spanning 1947 to 1954, offering insights on the Korean Peninsula. Released on the war's 60th anniversary, it constitutes the largest set of CIA records on the topic, coinciding with the "New Documents and New Histories: Twenty-First Century Perspectives on the Korean War" conference jointly organized by the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and the CIA in Independence, Missouri."

In popular culture
The phrase 'baptism of fire' has also entered into popular culture. An example is the "Brothers in Arms" song by the Dire Straits, which covers the British involvement in the Falklands War: Through these fields of destructions baptisms of fire I've witnessed your suffering as the battle raged higher.

Jackson Bandits

The Jackson Bandits were a minor league professional ice hockey team and member of the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL). The Bandits played at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson, Mississippi between 1999 and 2003. Previously the franchise played as the Chesapeake Icebreakers in Upper Marlboro, Maryland prior to their relocation following the 1998–99 season.

After being purchased in 1999 by a company called Mississippi Indoor Sports headed by majority owners and Mississippi businessmen Bernie Ebbers, the then MCI WorldCom president and CEO, and J.L. Holloway, the then president and CEO of Friede-Goldman International, the franchise was moved to Jackson, Mississippi, and began playing home games at the Mississippi Coliseum. The team was renamed the Jackson Bandits in reference to outlaws famous for robbing wealthy travelers along the Natchez Trace in the 19th century.

Derek Clancey, a former Chesapeake Icebreakers' star and eight-year veteran minor-league player, was named head coach and director of hockey operations, positions he would hold during the franchise's entire existence in Jackson.

Ebbers' interest in the Bandits was bought out by local businessmen/investors in 2002, shortly after his resignation as President/CEO of WorldCom. The new ownership group included Holloway, Brian Fenelon, Billy Mounger III, and Isaac Byrd.

After declining attendance and unsuccessful attempts to get a new arena built, the Bandits ceased operations in 2003 after the ECHL denied the team's request to suspend operations for a year.

Talk:Kevin Reynolds (director)

Untitled
This page contained a bunch of nonsense and in-jokes that were apparently about someone running a small Internet business. The page was tagged quickly to note that it needed cleanup and cited no sources. I posted the page to AFD, but then thought better of it, blanked the page, and wrote the article about the actually notable Kevin Reynolds, who was the director of Waterworld. Tempshill 21:06, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Contested move request
''The following request to move a page has been added to Requested moves as an uncontroversial move, but this has been contested by one or more people. Any discussion on the issue should continue here. If a full request is not lodged within five days, the request will be removed from WP:RM.'' —Stemonitis 22:33, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Kevin Reynolds (director) → Kevin Reynolds—The main Kevin Reynolds is the film director (Waterworld, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, etc.) The other is a 16 year old figure skater who is already linked to from the director's article. —Masaruemoto 16:23, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Contested. That "sixteen year old" has two quadruple jumps and a serious shot at doing very well on the Grand Prix in a few months. Awartha 17:59, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I didn't say the skater wasn't notable, but he's not as notable as the film director who's been internationally famous since before the skater was born. There's no need for a disambiguation page for two articles when one subject is more notable than the other. (BTW, Awartha happens to be the creator of Kevin Reynolds (figure skater) and also the editor who originally moved Kevin Reynolds to Kevin Reynolds (director)).
 * Additional comment; A Google search for "Kevin Reynolds" confirms I'm correct. Every single result on the first page is for the director. The skater's first Google result doesn't even appear until the fourth page. Even though this has been contested by someone who is clearly biased, there's no logical reason for the page not to be moved. Masaruemoto 19:03, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

correction to academic record
According to this Interview : "A former law student at Baylor University, Reynolds turned his attention away from writing political speeches to pursue a career in filmmaking. Transferring from the film school at the University of Texas in Austin to USC..."

Skydiving experience
There is no mention of Reynolds having or not having any experience doing or observing skydiving. This is important/interesting because of its impact on the source of his thesis film Proof & therefore also on Fandango. The blog posting, http://brookeshortfilm.wordpress.com/2011/03/07/proof-1980-kevin-reynolds/, states "... it was created by real skydivers."; unfortunately the statement is unsourced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.45.200.48 (talk) 18:15, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
