Thank you. Do you know if the FHWA records of decision have been signed for SIUs 7, 9, and 11? I've found sources saying they would be signed by 2007, but nothing actually stating that they were. --NE2 13:27, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * SIU 7 is long-approved, although I can't find anything saying that definitively (records of decision seem to no longer be announced in the Federal Register). From the SIU 9 FEIS date of submission, the ROD could have been issued in early 2007. Lordsutch 22:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

M1 protein

The M1 protein is a matrix protein of the influenza virus. It forms a coat inside the viral envelope. This is a bifunctional membrane/RNA-binding protein that mediates the encapsidation of nucleoprotein cores into the membrane envelope. It is therefore required that M1 binds both membrane and RNA simultaneously.

The M1 protein binds to the viral RNA. The binding is not specific to any RNA sequence, and is performed via a peptide sequence rich in basic amino acids.

It also has multiple regulatory functions, performed by interaction with the components of the host cell. The mechanisms regulated include a role in the export of the viral ribonucleoproteins from the host cell nucleus, inhibition of viral transcription, and a role in the virus assembly and budding. The protein was found to undergo phosphorylation in the host cell.

The M1 protein forms a layer under the patches of host cell membrane that are rich with the viral hemagglutinin, neuraminidase and M2 transmembrane proteins, and facilitates budding of the mature viruses.

M1 consists of two domains connected by a linker sequence. The N-terminal domain has a multi-helical structure that can be divided into two subdomains. The C-terminal domain also contains alpha-helical structure.

Calculator watch

A calculator watch is a digital watch with a built-in calculator, usually including buttons on the watch face. Calculator watches were first introduced in the 1970s and continue to be produced, despite falling from their peak popularity during the 1980s. The most dominant brands were the Casio Databank series and Timex.

Most calculator watches perform only basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). However, there are several models with additional functions: scientific, including transcendent and trigonometry, in models Casio CFX-20, CFX-200, CFX-400 and Citizen 49–9421, financial functions (Casio CBA-10) and also TV remote control functions (CMD-40B and CMD-30B).

Usually, calculator watches operate with eight-digit numbers; however, calculator watches can work with six digits (for example, Casio C-801) or ten-digit (Casio CBA-10).878

History

Calculator watches first appeared in the mid-1970s introduced by Pulsar (1975, then a brand of the Hamilton Watch Company)   and Hewlett-Packard.

Another popular calculator watch was the Time Computer Calculator 901, which could perform basic arithmetic functions. The 902 models had additional functions such as percentage calculations. The Time watches carried a high price tag (US$4,000) because they were made of solid gold and operated by a stylus pen owing to the small size of their buttons.

Popular watches include those from Seiko and Citizen, some of which had innovative functions.

Japanese electronics company Casio produced the widest variety of watches. In the mid-1980s, Casio created the Databank calculator watch, which performed calculator functions and stored appointments, names, addresses, and phone numbers. The calculator watches made by Casio earned much fame due to their appearance in movies and also due to being celebrities' choice during public events.

Mass-produced calculator watches appeared in the early 1980s, with the most being produced in the middle of the decade. Their popularity began to fade in the mid-1990s with the introduction of cheaper mobile phones and PDAs, which could perform the same functions. The calculator watch is now a collector's item, and notable watches such as the Timex watches and some special variants of Casio calculator watches such as the CFX-400 command a high premium in the used market.

I Can Only Imagine (MercyMe song)

"I Can Only Imagine" is a song by Christian rock band MercyMe. Written and composed by lead singer Bart Millard, it was originally recorded for the band's 1999 independent album The Worship Project before being included on their 2001 major-label debut album Almost There. The song was the last to be written for The Worship Project; in writing it, Millard drew upon his thoughts about his father's death. Lyrically, it imagines what it would be like to be in front of God in heaven; it opens with just a piano before building to include guitar and drums.

After being released on October 12, 2001, as the second single from Almost There, "I Can Only Imagine" became a major success on Christian radio; it spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Radio & Records Christian AC chart and became the most-played Christian single of 2002. It became an unexpected mainstream hit in 2003, peaking at No. 71 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 5 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart while also hitting top 40, adult top 40, and country radio charts. The song returned to the charts after its story was adapted into a 2018 film of the same name, peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard Christian Songs chart and No. 10 on the Billboard Digital Songs chart.

"I Can Only Imagine" received positive reviews from critics. Particular praise was given to its lyrics, and some critics called it the best song on Almost There. It received the Dove Awards for Song of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year at the 33rd GMA Dove Awards, also garnering Millard the award for Songwriter of the Year; he also won the Songwriter of the Year award at the 25th American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) Christian Music Awards. In 2004, CCM Magazine ranked it as the fourth-best song in Christian music, and it has since become the most-played song in the history of Christian radio as well as the best-selling Christian song of all time; it has been certified five-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and as of April 2018, it has sold over 2.5 million copies.

Background and recording

MercyMe was formed in 1994 by vocalist Bart Millard, guitarist Mike Scheuchzer, and keyboardist Jim Bryson. The band later brought on drummer Robby Shaffer and bassist Nathan Cochran. In their early years, they independently released four Christian alternative rock albums, drawing influence from the grunge style of rock music popular at the time. However, they realized that their original songs from these albums failed to connect with their audiences while their covers of popular worship songs were much more popular. Because of this, the band decided to write and produce an album of original worship songs. This album, The Worship Project, utilized a simple verse–chorus format designed to easily fit on a PowerPoint screen.

In the last phases of production, MercyMe needed one more song to include on the album. Late at night on the band's bus, Millard found an old notebook with the phrase "I can only imagine" written in it. He began to write a song, basing it on his personal feelings about his father Arthur's death. Early in Bart's life, Arthur had been physically and emotionally abusive towards his family, with Bart being beaten severely at points; Arthur and his wife Adele eventually divorced, and Bart was sent to live with his mother after an especially extreme whipping. Bart kept in contact with his father, however, who was later diagnosed with pancreatic cancer when Bart was 15. His father began to make amends for his actions and started becoming more religiously observant, reading the Bible and going to church regularly. As Arthur progressively became more ill, his relationship with his son improved dramatically; by the time Arthur died in 1991, when Bart was 18, the two were very close. Millard said that "I got a front row seat to see this guy go from being a monster to falling desperately in love with Jesus. By the time he passed away when I was a freshman in college, not only was he my best friend, he was like the Godliest man I’d ever known". After Arthur's death, Bart became obsessed with the phrase "I can only imagine" after hearing his grandmother say that she could only imagine what Arthur was seeing in heaven. Millard found comfort in the thought and began to write it on anything he could find.

Once Millard started writing the song, he estimated that it took him only about ten minutes to write the lyrics. Millard said that it was one of the few songs he had ever written where there were not any mistakes in the writing process; "it was just written the way it is and left at that". MercyMe initially attempted to record "I Can Only Imagine" as a fast song, but after several failed attempts, Millard talked with Bryson about arranging it into a slower version. As the band was tearing down the equipment in their recording studio, Bryson began playing a piano intro. Millard immediately decided to use the intro, and the rest of the song was completed in around five minutes. Although the rest of the band did not see how it would fit on the record, as it didn't meet the basic verse-chorus format the rest of the album had, they felt it needed to be included on it because it meant so much to Millard.

The Worship Project was released on October 14, 1999. Sales for the album far exceeded the band's previous efforts; Millard estimated the album's overall sales at 100,000, which other sources peg the album's sales as of 2006 at 60,000 or 65,000 copies. The difficulty of meeting sales demands when selling the album directly, in addition to having to book and manage for themselves, led the band to pursue a contract with a record label; MercyMe would sign with INO Records in 2000. "I Can Only Imagine" was one of several songs from the band's independent records that were selected to be included on their debut album with INO, Almost There (2001).

Composition
"I Can Only Imagine" is set in the key of E major and has a tempo of 80 beats per minute. Bart Millard's vocal range in the song spans from the low note of B3 to the high note of G♯5. Millard is credited with writing and composing the song. A contemporary Christian and pop song, "I Can Only Imagine" has been considered both a ballad and a power ballad. The song opens up with only a piano, building up to include guitar and drums.

The song has a directly Christian message; its religious lyrics weren't edited for mainstream radio. In the song, the narrator wonders what it would be like to stand before God in heaven. In the refrain, the singer ponders "Will I dance for You Jesus/or in awe of you be still/Will I stand in Your presence or to my knees will I fall/Will I sing hallelujah/will I be able to speak at all/I can only imagine/I can only imagine". Regarding the lyrical theme of "I Can Only Imagine", Millard explained to Fox News that "I was always told that if [my father] could choose, he would rather be in Heaven than here with me. As a Christian I believed that, but as an 18-year-old it was a little hard to swallow. So the questions in the song came from me asking God what was so great about Him that my dad would rather be there."

Critical reception
Critical reception for "I Can Only Imagine" was positive. Steve Losey of AllMusic praised it as being "passionate" and "emotionally compelling". Kevin Chamberlin of Jesus Freak Hideout said the song's lyrics were "amazing". It was called the "definite highlight" of Almost There by New Release Tuesday's Kevin McNeese, who also praised its piano intro, saying it "instantly invokes chills", as well as the song's lyrical content. Charisma writer Margaret Feinburg lauded the song's "heart-gripping" lyrics, and it was cited as the centerpiece of the album by Megumi Nakamura of Cross Rhythms, who called it "beautiful and touching". Writing for CCM Magazine, Adam Woodroof described the song as "heavenly" and said it was the highlight of Almost There. Although Russ Breimeier of Christianity Today called it "beautiful and inspiring", he questioned if "I Can Only Imagine" was actually a worship song.

At the 33rd GMA Dove Awards in 2002, I Can Only Imagine" earned the GMA Dove Awards for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year and Song of the Year. Millard won the award for Songwriter of the Year at the same ceremony as well as at the 25th American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) Christian Music Awards, held on June 2, 2003.  In 2004, CCM Magazine ranked "I Can Only Imagine" as the fourth-greatest song in Christian music.

Legacy

"I Can Only Imagine" has been regarded as MercyMe's "breakthrough hit" as well as their signature song. It is the most-played song in the history of Christian radio  and one of the most-played songs in the history of contemporary music. As of April 2018, it is the best-selling Christian song of all-time. It has consistently ranked among the best-selling Christian digital songs each year in the Billboard year-end charts, ranging from number 19 in 2016 to number three in 2018. It is often requested to be played at funerals. "I Can Only Imagine" was named the official inspirational song for the state of Oklahoma in 2018; the measure was passed by the Oklahoma Legislature and signed by Governor Mary Fallin.

The story behind "I Can Only Imagine" was adapted into a film. Directed by the Erwin Brothers and starring J. Michael Finley as Bart Millard and Dennis Quaid as Arthur Millard, the movie was released to theaters on March 16, 2018. It received mixed to positive reviews from critics, and exceeded initial expectations at the box office, grossing $17.1 million in its opening week. This was the fourth best-ever opening for a faith-based film, behind only The Passion of the Christ, Son of God, and Heaven Is for Real. The film finished its theatrical run having grossed $83.4 million in the United States and Canada and $1.8 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $85.2 million. As of August 2019, it ranks as the fifth-highest grossing music biopic of all-time in the United States (behind Bohemian Rhapsody, Straight Outta Compton, Walk the Line, and Rocketman) and was the highest-grossing independent film of 2018.

Release and promotion
Originally, "I Can Only Imagine" was set to be released by fellow Christian artist Amy Grant. Millard had initially declined a request from Grant's record label to allow her to record the song; some segments of the Christian community had reacted negatively to her divorce, and Millard wasn't sure if he wanted to be involved. After consulting with his pastor, who felt Millard should accept the opportunity, he began to reconsider, and finally agreed to let her cover it after talking with Grant over the phone. Grant had planned to release her version of the song as the lead single from her upcoming album and MercyMe would release a different song as their first single, hoping to capitalize on having written what would presumably become a major hit for Grant. The band released their first single from Almost There, "Bless Me Indeed (Jabez's Song)", which performed poorly at Christian radio, leading to poor sales of the album. Plans were made to release another single from the record, but the band's manager, Scott Brickell, decided to reach out to Grant to see if she still planned to release her version as a single. Grant gave MercyMe her blessing to release the song as a single and signed the rights back to the band; "I Can Only Imagine" was released on October 12, 2001, as the album's second single.

The song debuted on the Christian AC chart on November 2, 2001, reached the No. 1 position on February 22, 2002, and spent two weeks at the top spot. It also peaked at No. 15 on the Radio & Records Christian CHR chart. The song became the most-played song on Christian radio in 2002. As a result of its success on radio, Almost There experienced a "surge" in sales, debuting on the Billboard 200 in December 2001 and entering the top ten on the Christian Albums chart in January 2002. The song stayed on Christian radio for so long that plans to release a third single from Almost There were cancelled, with the band instead beginning work on a new album.

In 2003, a Dallas mainstream radio station, 100.3 Wild-FM, played the song on its morning show, The Fitz Radio Program. They had responded to a caller's repeated requests and the urgings of the program's producer, Todd Sheppard, a former seminary student. Although it had been played almost as joke, it soon became the most requested and most played song on the station. After hearing the song played on the station, Millard called-in and spoke with the crew, and MercyMe then came in and played the song live. Big Gay Steven, one of the show's hosts, described their audience's response to the song as "overwhelming". As other mainstream stations around the country began to play the song, MercyMe's label, INO Records, partnered with Curb Records to market the single to mainstream radio. Its initial success was seen as surprising due to its overtly religious themes, although several other Christian artists had begun achieving mainstream success at the same time, including Stacie Orrico, whose singles "Stuck" and "(There's Gotta Be) More to Life" had both hit the Billboard Hot 100. Curb began to promote the song to adult contemporary and Top 40 radio, and INO and Curb released a double A-side physical single, "I Can Only Imagine/Word of God Speak", in September 2003.

"I Can Only Imagine" debuted on the Adult Contemporary chart on May 23, 2003, eventually peaking at No. 5 for the chart week of September 8, 2003. "I Can Only Imagine" spent 30 weeks on the chart. The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart week of October 11, 2003 at No. 76. The song peaked at No. 71 and spent 16 non-consecutive weeks on the chart. "I Can Only Imagine" also peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Sales chart, a component chart of the Billboard Hot 100 that ranks the best-selling physical single releases, for 10 weeks. During the week of November 22, 2003, it became the first No. 1 physical single to be outsold by the highest-selling digital single of the week; for that week, "I Can Only Imagine" sold 7,500 physical copies in the United States while Outkast's "Hey Ya!" sold 8,500 digital downloads. The song also charted on the Mainstream Top 40, Adult Top 40, and Country Songs charts.

In 2012, "I Can Only Imagine" appeared on France's Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP) chart, spending two weeks and peaking at No. 65. In March 2018, following the release of the film I Can Only Imagine, which was based on the song's story, it appeared on the Billboard Christian Songs chart; because the chart had been created after the song's original run on Christian radio, it was eligible to chart for the first time. It debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Christian Songs chart and also spent a third week at No. 1 on the Billboard Christian Digital Songs chart; the song had spent 425 weeks on the chart at that point, the longest run of any song in the chart's history. "I Can Only Imagine" peaked at No. 1 on the Christian Songs chart on March 31, 2018, and spent three weeks at the top spot. It also peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Digital Songs chart and ranked at No. 8 on the 2018 year-end Christian Songs chart.

In April 2010, "I Can Only Imagine" was certified platinum by the RIAA, signifying sales of over 1 million digital downloads. It was the first single by any artist in the Christian music genre to go platinum. The song was certified double platinum in September 2014, triple platinum in June 2018, and quadruple platinum in September 2019. As of March 2018, it has sold 2.5 million copies, making it the best-selling Christian single of all time.

Music video
A music video was released for "I Can Only Imagine". According to Millard, the video's inspiration came from seeing people holding empty picture frames at their concerts, symbolizing their deceased loved ones. Millard said that the "I've had so many people after a show pull out a picture of someone they've lost. These people embrace these photos and I just thought how can we tap into that". The video features everyday people as well as several music artists including Michael Tait, Tammy Trent, Bob Herdman, and Jesse Katina, each holding an empty picture frame to signify their loss of a loved one; as the video progresses, they are holding pictures of their loved ones including Millard with his father's photograph.

Live performances
Despite including "I Can Only Imagine" on The Worship Project, MercyMe initially did not perform the song in concerts because they felt it did not fit with the rest of the record. The band's first performance of the song did not come until the summer after the release of The Worship Project at a summer camp at the request of a camp counselor. The band has played the song at every show since as of February 2009 MercyMe's 2004 concert tour (the Imagine Tour) and 2018–19 tour (the Imagine Nation Tour) both took their name from the song.

MercyMe performed "I Can Only Imagine" at the 33rd GMA Dove Awards, with an accompanying "inspiring video that underscored the emotional and inspirational power of song". The band also performed the song at the 40th GMA Dove Awards, held on April 23, 2009, in a medley with "Finally Home". At the 2017 National Prayer Breakfast, MercyMe performed the song with President Donald Trump in attendance. In March 2018, MercyMe performed "I Can Only Imagine" live on Fox & Friends to promote the film.

Other versions
Both an acoustic and live version of "I Can Only Imagine" were included in the Platinum edition of Almost There, which was released in August 2006. MercyMe released a new recording of the song on their iTunes Originals album, which was released in March 2008. On their compilation album 10, MercyMe released a new recording of the song featuring the London Session Orchestra as well as a live version. For their 2018 compilation album I Can Only Imagine: The Very Best of MercyMe, released to commemorate the release of the movie, the band recorded an updated recording titled "I Can Only Imagine (The Movie Session)", which peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard Christian Songs chart.

"I Can Only Imagine" has been covered by several artists. In 2002, Amy Grant released her reworked version of the song, titled "Imagine" and paired with "Sing the Wondrous Love of Jesus", on her album Legacy... Hymns and Faith. Country singer Jeff Carson's 2003 cover peaked at No. 50 on the Country Songs chart, and in 2014, gospel singer Tamela Mann's cover of the song spent 13 weeks atop the Billboard Gospel Songs chart. In May 2017, Aliyah Moulden, the third-place finisher on the 12th season of the reality competition show The Voice, performed the song on the show; her version debuted and peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Christian Songs chart, selling 15,000 copies in its first week and spending two weeks on the chart in total.

Talk:List of people from Rochester, New York

Requirements for Adding somebody to this list
For the sake of keeping this list restricted to legitimate information, I must set the following requirement, one of two things are required: either a couple words that explain what makes that person noteworthly or a link to a page that explains a person's noteworthyness.

If such an entry doesn't contain the required information then the entry is not worthy of being on this list and hence forth will be removed. I am setting this strict requirement because if unexplained entries are provided, this list will easily be filled with non-informative entries. Please note I will be extremely open minded into accepting many reasons why this person is noteworthy (ex: artists, musicians, authors, company presidents, researchers who have discovered something). But it should be decided in the future exactly what constitutes as the minimum to what makes a person "noteworthy". People who have not contributed to society in some form are currently NOT considered noteworthy. Travisowens@hotmail.com 21:57, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Shirley Jackson
When did Shirley Jackson live in Rochester? According to her article, she was born and raised in California, educated at Syracuse University, and lived in Vermont as an adult. MK2 05:13, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Reply: I have removed her from this list since you brought this issue up almost 5 months ago and nobody has attempted to refute it. Travisowens@hotmail.com 21:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment from 63.118.56.110
Looking at the history of this section, it seems there is no rhyme or reason as to what is considered noteworthy. I guess that is the nature of the beast that is Wiki. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.118.56.110 (talk • contribs).
 * Roughly, if they have an article on Wikipedia, they're considered noteworthy. There are a few exceptions (namely, Henry Lomb) who should have articles but don't yet.  Powers 18:41, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Request for Comment
A page similar to this one. List of people from San Francisco, is currently under review as an article for deletion, for reasons which would apply to this article as well. I am conducting an RfC on the talk page of the above-mentioned list to determine whether the concensus agrees on keeping such lists or not. Any and all comments are more than welcome. Badbilltucker 16:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I think the SF article is up for deletion just because it's poor quality, not because the topic isn't wikipedia worthy...see how it's big on baseball players? At least the Rochester article is fairly broad in who's on it. I vote to keep the Rochester article unless the question is raised on more cities. Arwcheek 01:06, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Sam Patch
Sam Patch died while jumping the falls in Rochester. To say that he lived in or was from Rochester is not really accurate... From what I can tell, he was only in Rochester for about a week (not couting the 5 months frozen in ice in the Genesee River near Charlotte). dspark76 23:24, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)

FROM rochester
From means you were born there. People who grew up elsewhere and later settled in Rochester should not be on this list. Kingturtle (talk) 17:39, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I disagree. My wife was born in New Jersey but she's still "from" Pennsylvania.  And any list of famous Rochesterians would be ridiculously incomplete without Frederick Douglass.  Powers T 20:17, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

“List..” vs noteworthiness
An editor rev a deletion of Anderson from the list because he passed the threshold for noteworthiness. Contrary to what the first discussion states, noteworthiness is a consideration, but not the only one for this list. Anderson might be notable for his neighborhood. But generally no person noteworthy only on Rochester, should be on this list. Otherwise we’d wind up with a list of all mayors, aldermen, county commissioners, tax collectors, etc., none of whom were noteworthy ‘’’outside’’’ Rochester. The idea of the article is to call attention to people that should be known to people ‘’’outside’’’ Rochester. Like Stephen Douglass, Eastman, etc.

Try to imagine a state list containing every member that has ever been elected to the legislature. Would that make sense? So a state list would contain people that should be known OUTSIDE the state. What we’re discussing here is NOT notability, per se, but SUFFICIENT notability for a particular list, the threshold for which rises with each larger governmental structure.

Apiole

Apiole is a phenylpropene, also known as apiol, parsley apiol, or parsley camphor. Its chemical name is 1-allyl-2,5-dimethoxy-3,4-methylenedioxybenzene. It is found in the essential oils of celery leaf and all parts of parsley. Heinrich Christoph Link, an apothecary in Leipzig, discovered the substance in 1715 as greenish crystals reduced by steam from oil of parsley. In 1855 Joret and Homolle discovered that apiol was an effective treatment of amenorrea or lack of menstruation.

In medicine it has been used, as essential oil or in purified form, for the treatment of menstrual disorders and as an abortifacient. It is an irritant and, in high doses, it can cause liver and kidney damage. Cases of death due to attempted abortion using apiole have been reported.

Hippocrates wrote about parsley as an herb to cause an abortion. Plants containing apiole were used by women in the Middle Ages to terminate pregnancies. Now that safer methods of abortion are available, apiol is almost forgotten.

Orthography
Apiole (always with the final 'e') is the correct spelling of the trivial name for 1-allyl-2,5-dimethoxy-3,4-methylenedioxybenzene. Apiol, also known as liquid apiol or green oil of parsley, is the extracted oleoresin of parsley, rather than the distilled oil. Its use was widespread in the United States, often as ergoapiol or apergol, as an early form of birth control as well as for menstrual issues (and off label for abortions)until a highly toxic adulterated product containing apiol and tri-ortho-cresyl phosphate (also famous as the adulterant added to Jamaican ginger) was introduced on the American market. 1'-sulfoxy metabolite formation for apiole (3,4-OMe-safrole) is about 1/3 as active as safrole. No carcinogenicity was detected with parsley apiol or dill apiol in mice.

Other similarly named compounds
The name apiole is also used for a closely related compound found in dill and in fennel roots, the positional isomer (dillapiole, 1-allyl-2,3-dimethoxy-4,5-methylenedioxybenzene. Exalatacin (1-allyl-2,6-dimethoxy-3,4-methylenedioxybenzene) is another positional isomer of apiole, found in the Australian plants Crowea exalata and Crowea angustifolia var. angustifolia.

Sagkeeng First Nation

The Sagkeeng First Nation (also known as Sagkeeng Anicinabe) is a Treaty-1 First Nation in the Eastman Region of Manitoba, Canada, that is composed of the Anishinaabe people indigenous to the area at or near the Fort Alexander Indian Reserve #3 (or Fort Alexander) located along the Winnipeg River and Traverse Bay. Today, Sagkeeng holds territory in the southern part of Lake Winnipeg, 120 km north of the city of Winnipeg, and on the mainland.

As of June 2021, the Sagkeeng reserve has a total registered population of 8,208 band members, with over 3,600 members living on the reserve and over 4,500 living off of the reserve. As the reserve is located on both North and South shores at the outlet, or 'mouth', of the Winnipeg River, the name Sagkeeng is derived from the Ojibwe term Zaagiing, meaning 'Mouth of the river'. It is adjacent to the northern border of the Rural Municipality of Alexander, which also borders the town of Pine Falls.

Sagkeeng’s traditional territory includes land within Treaty 1 and lands north and east of the Winnipeg River. The territory of Sagkeeng originally was to have commenced one mile upstream from the Fort Alexander trading post formerly occupied by the Hudson's Bay Company. Files of the federal Crown–Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs department indicate that the Chief and Council requested the boundaries to be moved to its present location.

Sagkeeng Anicinabe people
The gathering and trading area of what became Fort Alexander were, along with its peoples, a component of the copper culture, as evident by copper points and artifacts that were found in what became the Fort Alexander area. The source of the copper was the Lake Superior copper mines that are thousands of years old.

Some of the Sagkeeng Ojibway people are direct descendants of the Anishinaabe tribes that migrated from a very ancient settlement in the present-day Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario area. Some of the forefathers of Sagkeeng were a component of the ancient copper culture; they brought the copper points and artifacts that have been found around the Fort Alexander fishing, hunting, trading, and meeting grounds.

According to the current Sagkeeng government, Sagkeeng Anishinaabe have lived "at or near the mouth of the Winnipeg river (which became Fort Alexander Reserve #3" and Traverse Bay, since time immemorial." This means that some Sagkeeng forefathers were always from this area and they mixed, married, and traded daughters with Anishinaabe and other native tribes. The Anishinaabe peoples began trading with the first French immigrants just a few hundred years ago in this Fort Alexander area now known as Sagkeeng territory.

Fort Alexander
In 1734, La Vérendrye built a fur trading post, Fort Maurepas, on the north side of the Winnipeg River, north of present-day Selkirk, Manitoba; which was abandoned at the end of the colonial period. Later Toussaint Lesieur, a North West Company (NWC) clerk, built a post on the south side of the mouth of Lake Winnipeg; it was called Fort Bas de la Rivière and functioned as the capital of the NWC Lake Winnipeg district. It became an important provisioning post for both the Native and immigrant canoe brigades. Bags of pemmican, brought from NWC posts on the upper Assiniboine River, were stored here among other goods.

The Hudson's Bay Company operated here between 1795 and 1801. In 1807, Alexander MacKay rebuilt the post on a nearby site. Beginning in 1808, the new post was known as Fort Alexander (50.60889°N, -96.29556°W). Since big game of the area had been over exploited by immigrants in the late 1700s, fish, grains, and garden vegetables were the staple foods of the area. By 1812, the Bas de la Rivière gardens were selling vegetables to the incoming Red River immigrants. After the Northwest and Hudson's Bay Companies merged in 1821, Fort Alexander continued to be operated as a trading post for the natives and immigrants in the region.

In 1871, Kakakepenaise (Gekeki-Binesi, 'Hawk-bird', a.k.a. William Mann I) signed Treaty 1 on behalf of the ancestors of the Sagkeeng people. The Fort Alexander Indian Reserve of approximately 21,674 acres was surveyed in 1874.

Treaty
Treaty 1 was signed on behalf of the ancestors of the Sagkeeng people in 1871.

While considered a Treaty 1 nation, Sagkeeng is also a member of 3 and Treaty 5, as all three treaty boundaries merge at Sagkeeng. (This also means that it is a member of the Grand Council of Treaty 3, or GCT3.) More specifically, converging at the Sagkeeng Territory are the territory treaty boundaries of the Northern Territory of Turtle Island, the Southern Plains territory, and the Eastern Turtle Island, together encompassing a geographical area of 55,000 sqmi.

Sagkeeng holds its annual Treaty Days in the last week of July of every year. The five to six days of events are open to everyone and include a community parade, various children's events, a three-day pow wow, and, lastly, fireworks.

The French Oblates of Mary Immaculate nuns ran the Fort Alexander Indian Residential School for Indigenous children. As was typical of the Canadian residential school system at the time, the institution practised cultural genocide by forcing the students to speak English and prohibiting them from practicing their own culture in their own land, thereby creating an ongoing legacy of trauma among the Sagkeeng and other Anishinabe peoples. In 2005, the Government of Canada formally acknowledged and apologized for the abuses of the residential schools. In 2007, it authorized payment of a $1.9-billion compensation package to surviving children who had been forced to attend the schools.

The Sagkeeng and other Indigenous peoples have criticized the government's Child and Family Services (CFS) for breaking up families, rather than working to hold them together by providing support to parents and children.

Contemporary life
The Sagkeeng Anicinabe Government’s current leadership, elected in April 2019, is composed of five elected members : Chief Derrick Henderson; and Councillors Lin Dorie, John Courchene, Dylan Courchene, Erin Courchene, Henry Swampy and Tania Twoheart.

The nation has a dance group Sagkeeng's Finest, who, in 2012, won the first and only season of Canada's Got Talent against a total of 244 other acts. The group included Vincent O’Laney (17), and brothers Dallas (16) and Brandon Courchene (18). The trio started with traditional jigging, a First Nations tradition, then fused more modern dance styles, such as tap dancing, into their act. Along with the grand prize of $100,000, they also won a $105,000 Nissan GT-R sports car, an opportunity to perform during Citytv's New Year's Eve special, and the possibility of performing at a venue in Las Vegas.

Virginia Fontaine Addictions Foundation scandal
On October 18, 2000, the Canadian Press reported that Perry Fontaine, the director of the Virginia Fontaine Addictions Foundation, a Native addictions treatment centre located on Sagkeeng First Nation—and 74 other foundation staff (including CEO Ken Courchene) attended a cruise to the Caribbean that was termed a "staff retreat," which required the then-addictions center be closed.

The cost of this trip was reported later to be over $135,000. Health Canada eventually investigated the financial books of the Centre and found massive fraud and kickback schemes which was oversaw by former Health Canada assistant deputy minister Paul Cochrane and Patrick Nottingham, the ex-regional director of Health Canada’s First Nations and Inuit health programs in Manitoba. Cochrane and Nottingham pleaded guilty in the fall of 2005. Cochrane was formally accused by the RCMP, after more than two years of financial mismanagement at the center was eventually charged with one count of breach of trust and seven counts of fraud against the government. Nottingham, was given a conditional sentence of two years less a day and ordered to pay $1.14 million in restitution.

According to the RCMP, Perry Fontaine along with his wife and daughter offered bribes to Cochrane, who accepted a $50,000 payment on 11 December 1996; four season tickets for NHL hockey games in Ottawa in 1998, 1999, and 2000; a blue 1997 Jeep Cherokee sport-utility vehicle in April 1998; a red 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee in July 1999; a green 2000 Nissan Xterra sport-utility vehicle for his son Lucas Cochrane in May 2000; free trips for Cochrane and his family between July 1999 and October 2000; and two income tax receipts for fake donations of $5,000 each for the years 1997 and 1998. Cochrane's sons were also given cushy, well-paying jobs at the Centre at his insistence.

Fontaine was eventually charged with fraud over $5,000 and sentenced to three years in federal prison.

Sagkeeng First Nation now hosts a family treatment centre, the Sagkeeng Mino Pimatiziwin Family Treatment Centre. The program has been successfully running for a few years. They work with entire families to learn how to work through problems and keep families together.

The Nervebreakers

Nervebreakers are a Dallas-area punk rock band that formed in 1973. The band became known for melodic, rocking punk with liberal doses of George Jones and psychedelia, and has the distinction of being one of the few bands to open for The Sex Pistols.

Background
Nervebreakers started as a cover band playing songs from the 1960s. As the Ramones and The Sex Pistols became big in America, the band was able to find a sustaining audience. The band's first big break came when they opened for the Ramones on July 24, 1977 at The Electric Ballroom, a dance hall in the industrial district of Dallas. In January 1978, Nervebreakers opened for The Sex Pistols at The Longhorn Ballroom, and a photo of guitarist Barry Kooda appeared in the March 1978 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine. Later that year, the band recorded their debut EP, Politics. The song "My Girlfriend is A Rock" became a runaway hit in San Francisco, Sacramento, and Boston, and was later covered by the Angry Samoans and Wool, among others. The band also opened for The Clash, John Cale, The Police and Johnny Thunders.

The band contacted legendary psychedelic rock pioneer and Texas native Roky Erickson and wound up doing double duty by opening several shows as Nervebreakers, as well as being Erickson's backing band. A live recording of one of these shows was released on CD by the French record company New Rose Records.

In 1979 they recorded a single for Wild Child Records containing the songs "Hijack the Radio" and "Why Am I So Flipped," and contributed two songs ("So Sorry" and "I Love Your Neurosis") to the ESR compilation "Are We Too Late For The Trend?" They recorded another song, "I Don't Believe In Anything," but it was not released.

By 1980, Nervebreakers were one of the biggest bands in Dallas. They began recording a full-length album, We Want Everything, on May 27 that year, but the album remained unreleased until 1994 when a vinyl LP on the Texas rarities/reissue label Existential Vacuum was released to rave reviews. Shortly thereafter, the album was picked up by garage/punk label Get Hip Records, and a CD was made available worldwide. In 2000, Italian label Rave Up Records released Hijack the Radio, a vinyl collection of singles, rarities and live cuts. After the departure of Mike Haskins and Bob Childress in 1981, Paul Quigg and James Flory joined, and Nervebreakers won the Agora's Battle of the Bands in Dallas. The prize was recording time at Pantego Studios, where they recorded the Thom Edwards/Mike Haskins original "Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls," along with an obscure Rolling Stones cover, "I'd Much Rather Be With The Boys." The single was released on black and blue vinyl in a clear sleeve, but by then the band had already parted company.

In 2014, the AMC series Halt and Catch Fire, which takes place in the 1980s, featured the Nervebreakers' "I Love Your Neurosis" briefly during the opening sequence of the fourth episode of the series' first season.

Reforming
Mike, Tex, Barry, Carl and Bob re-entered the studio in 2007-2008 to record new original material for an album entitled Face Up to Reality, which was initially slated for release in 2011. In 2009, Nervebreakers returned to live performance, with several shows in Austin and Dallas.

Band members

 * Thom "Tex" Edwards: Vocals
 * Mike Haskins: Lead Guitar/Vocals
 * Barry "Kooda" Huebner:  Rhythm Guitar/ Vocals
 * Carl Giesecke: Drums
 * Pierre Thompson: Bass; was replaced by Clarke Blacker and later "BBQ" Bob Childress
 * Paul Quigg (Guitar) and James Flory (Bass) replaced Mike and Bob for the East Coast tour and the 45 single *"Girls.../...Boys"
 * Walter Brock: Farfisa; was instrumental in writing some of the band's most notable early songs prior to the name change from Mr. Nervous Breakdown to Nervebreakers when Walter left and Barry joined.
 * Tom Ordon: sometime manager and proprietor of Wild Child Records which released three singles for the band.

The Velvet Teen

The Velvet Teen is an American independent rock trio from Sonoma County, California.

History
The Velvet Teen is originally the name of Judah Nagler's electronic solo project, whose official debut was made during a brief Icelandic tour that began on New Year's Eve, 1999. In 2000, during which Nagler and Logan Whitehurst were members of the band Little Tin Frog, the two began meeting in secret to write songs together under the moniker, 'The Secret Band.' When Little Tin Frog disbanded later that year, Nagler and Whitehurst continued their project and adopted Nagler's solo title, The Velvet Teen. They recorded and released Comasynthesis, a 6-song EP. In 2001, they were joined by bassist/vocalist Josh Staples and recorded their second EP, The Great Beast February.

The Velvet Teen signed to Slowdance Records, an independent record label from Portland, OR. They enlisted Death Cab for Cutie's Chris Walla to produce their first full-length album, Out of the Fierce Parade. Whitehurst, who was also an accomplished artist, created the etchings used as the album's artwork. Two music videos from the album ("Radiapathy" and "The Prize Fighter") were made and aired on MTV2.

Their second full-length album, Elysium, is a stylistic departure from their previous work, and does not contain any guitar. With a core instrumentation of drums, bass, and piano, other noteworthy elements include string and horn arrangements arranged by Adam Theis, the electronic glitches of "Satre Ringo", and the 12-minute, 1089-word epic "Chimera Obscurant." Elysium was recorded on a laptop by Judah and his brother Ephriam Nagler at various locations in Sonoma County, and mixed at Kingsize Soundlabs in Los Angeles by Dave Trumfio and Mike Krassner.

Several months before the release of Elysium, Whitehurst fell ill, was diagnosed with brain cancer, and subsequently left the band to focus on treatment. Casey Deitz was recruited as the new drummer after filling in for multiple shows.

The band recorded and released their third album, Cum Laude!, again with Judah and Ephriam producing and engineering. Cum Laude! was another stylistic departure and features an IDM-influenced, progressive rock sound that was louder, faster, and livelier than any of their previous work. The music video for "Tokyoto" was directed and edited by Nagler, and is the only music video from Cum Laude!. They supported the album on Minus the Bear's 2006 tour with P.O.S and Russian Circles.

Upon finishing the tour, Staples quit the band. On December 3, 2006, original drummer Logan Whitehurst died at his home in Los Banos, CA after a long battle with cancer.

On February 28, 2007, Nagler posted a message on The Velvet Teen's official website confirming that the band would continue. They performed and toured nationally with a new line-up in the fall of 2007; Nagler on bass/keys/vocals, Deitz on drums/vocals, and Matthew Izen of Polar Bears, formerly of The New Trust, on guitar.

In the spring of 2009, Josh Staples rejoined the band, and The Velvet Teen performed as a quartet in San Jose, CA. The first and only recording with this line-up, a four-song EP titled No Star, was recorded by Chris Manning at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA, and Salamander Sound in San Rafael, CA. The recording was first self-released on CD and sold on their Japanese tour in October 2010 with The New Trust. It was released digitally on November 11, 2010, and physically (12" co-release with Side With Us/Makeyousick Records) on January 7, 2011, at the band's 12"/CD release show at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco. A video for the song "No Star," directed by Mike Sloat, was released on February 19, 2011.

On August 9, 2012, (days after Izen announced he was no longer in the band) The Velvet Teen announced they would be recording their next full-length album in early September. Steve Choi (Rx Bandits, Peace'd Out) and Roger Camero (No Motiv, Peace'd Out) recorded and co-produced the album. On September 20, 2012, the band announced on their website, "Nearly all of the tracking is finished for our upcoming full length. Title and release details are currently being determined. 11 songs. All new material. Oh, and it RULES."

On April 1, 2014, the band updated their official website with artwork for the album by Young and Sick, and new information about the release of the album in 2014.

The Velvet Teen released the album All Is Illusory on June 30, 2015.

New article
Before considering an AfD, please note: Yes, I know it's too short, and is already too POV (I was a huge fan of the band), but I'm researching the article, and will add the rest soon. I just wanted to get a stub in here, so I would have something to bookmark. Also needs some kind of 'music' stub template, but I'm new, and don't know how to find a list of the templates. Anybody? Eaglizard 05:23, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * There is a music band stub, and there is a complete list of stubs at WP:WSS/ST. There are a few different 'under construction' , and 'major edit in progress'  type stubs over at Template_messages/Maintenance and the complete list of templates is over at Template_messages. Hope this helps. --Qirex 06:18, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Crossed out compass and square as lead image
The lead image should signify a representation of anti-masonry; the image of a crossed out compass and masonic square does that perfectly. The supposed "side box" about freemasonry, promoting the cult's agenda and ideology, should not be so prominent (it isn't on the article about freemasonry itself). Either that, or, perhaps more usefully, a side-box dedicated to information about freemasonry's critics/opponents should be there. Rí Lughaid (talk) 10:53, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

 * If anti-masonry had a unified symbol or imagery that all or most anti-masons used or recognized - much like masons uses the square and compass - your idea might have some merit. Since anti-masonery is at best a inhomogeneous group - and at worst more concerned with disagreeing with each other rather than the masons - I don't see how it would be a workable proposal.
 * As for the infobox... I don't see how a listing of articles relating to Masonry can be said to promote an agenda or an ideology (note: Masonry don't have either, per se), especially not when the section on Views on Masonry lists at least eight articles that covers criticisms and arguments made against the Craft. As for the location of the infobox that can be debated - as far as I know there is no Wikipedia standard as to where it is supposed to go.
 * That said, it is nice to see that you flag your own POV so clearly for everyone else to see... WegianWarrior (talk) 12:29, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Whether we include the image or not, we should definitely keep the infobox... it is not "promoting" any agenda or ideology... it is simply a navigational tool, pointing readers to a set of articles that fall into a particular topic area (in this case, the topic is Freemasonry). Including an info-box like this is standard practice on Wikipedia - and standard practice is to include an infobox with the lede. Blueboar (talk) 14:42, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't understand, the image is on other language versions. Is this a conspiracy? Rí Lughaid (talk) 21:04, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * That's irrelevant, as all the projects are independent, and frankly, it looks just as foolish over there as it does here. MSJapan (talk) 22:13, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Revert on Feb 8th
I reverted this edit for a couple of reasons, most importantly that I could find NO information of said book OR the author online. This usually means it's a self published work, and as such fails WP:RS. Is someone have a link to, or an ISBN number for, the book cited, it would be great. WegianWarrior (talk) 16:44, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * AFAICT, this is one of those things that is totally made up - I can't even get a GHit on the supposed author's name. It's some sort of faux-Scandinavian language, but it's uncommon enough in English where something should have come up, even if it's a pseudonym.  If the book itself existed, even if it is SPS, it would need to be released to the public somehow, and somebody would have found it after 15 years if only in the course of research. MSJapan (talk) 21:44, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Speaking as a Scandinavian, it sounds more like a faux German name to me... but it could (in theory) exist as, say, a small self published (for example photocopied) book distributed privately within a limited group. You're likely correct that the source don't exists, but if it do it would most likely fail WP:RS in a spectacular fashion =) WegianWarrior (talk) 04:23, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I do get a google hit on the cited title: "Mason Life" (here)... but that is definitely not a book or magazine that talks about Freemasons. I agree that the revert was justified... the citation seems to be (at best) a self-published limited distribution fringe publication, or (at worst) was completely fake. Blueboar (talk) 02:35, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Roman Catholic stance on Freemasonry.
The Roman Catholic Church has, since 1738, prohibited membership in Masonic organizations, citing both political and religious reasons. Until 1983 the penalty for Catholics who joined the fraternity was excommunication. Since that time the punishment has been an interdict, barring the offender from Holy Communion. Although the canonical penalty changed in 1983, the prohibition on membership has not. I believe that there was one exception. I agree that the Roman Catholic Church currently forbids its members from being Freemasons, and has for the most part since 1738, however, I think that during the reigns of Popes John XXIII, Paul VI, and John Paul I, secular members of the Roman Catholic Church (that is, ones who were not priests, bishops, or holding other religious offices, but merely attended church service and took communion) were allowed to be Freemasons, although clerical members of the Roman Catholic Church (priests, bishops, and other religious officials) were still prohibited by the Church from joining Masonry. When Pope John Paul II took office, he immediately reinstated the Church's previous condemnation of Freemasonry, through a statement by Cardinal Ratzinger. --PaulBustion88 (talk) 18:24, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

 * There was no exception - the first letter confused people (who thought there was an exception), and the letter from Ratzinger was to clarify exactly the point that there was no Canon Law exception. I believe people were given the benefit of the doubt to allow them to quit without being excommunicated had they joined erroneously. MSJapan (talk) 22:55, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I read parts of two books about Freemasonry, one was The Brotherhood by Stephen Knight, the other was a sequel, Inside the Brotherhood by Martin Short. I think I remember Martin Short saying that the Catholic Church seemed to tolerate Masonry briefly in the 1970s. But perhaps I confabulated that. --PaulBustion88 (talk) 01:30, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Paul, if the only books you have read on Freemasonry are Knight and Short, I would suggest that you read some other books. Both authors are extremely unreliable.  They get a lot of their basic facts wrong. Blueboar (talk) 12:35, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I read parts of a book by Jasper Ridley called The Freemasons. Is that book any better? I got the impression all three were "tendentious", as wikipedia editors like to put it. It seemed Short and Knight were very biased against Freemasonry, while Ridley was very biased in favor of it, even though he was not a Mason. I'm inclined to think his book is slightly better even though it was largely apologetic because Knight and Short occasionally toyed with conspiracy theories, while Ridley did not.--PaulBustion88 (talk) 21:46, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Jasper Ridley is a much better source than Knight and Short... "The Freemasons" is definitely reliable.  As an aside... I would caution against editing Wikipedia based on reading selected "parts" of any book (this can lead to accusations of cherry picking?)... It's best to read the entire book.  (Actually, it's best to read a whole bunch of books). Blueboar (talk) 11:56, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

American political Anti-Masonry (1830s–1850s)
You need to cite this, as it has no source for the entire paragraph. If it is not cited, it will have no credibility to those in the anti-Masonic movement, and make Freemasonry look in a bad light. I added the citation needed tag today.--Craxd1 (talk) 14:27, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Conspiracy theories
In the first paragraph, I added a citation, number 28, to William Guy Carr's book, Pawns in the Game, which most all conspiracy authors quote. Citation number 36 is a dead link, and needs to be replaced--Craxd1 (talk) 14:32, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Found a new source to illustrate that the claim is made. Blueboar (talk) 15:57, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

 * I also found that the second paragraph for the section, Christian anti-Masonry, was not sourced, nor did it give where their claims came from. I added a credible source, Is it True What They Say About Freemasonry, by Brent Morris PhD, and gave two names, which most claims lead back to, Leo Taxil, and AC de la Rive.--Craxd1 (talk) 23:46, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Are the state lottery and the casinos freemasonry or antimasonry related?
Question is meant seriously because I do not want to write nonsense in the Wiki. --82.207.238.157 (talk) 04:57, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok… I will answer in good faith… there is no connection between Freemasonry and Casinos, or between Freemasonry and the lottery.
 * Nor am I aware of any significant antiMasonic sources that say there is some sort of connection. Oh, I suppose there could be someone out there who says it, but if so - they are fringe of the fringe… even by antiMasonic standards.
 * In short… it’s nonsense. Blueboar (talk) 13:07, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Neutrality
This article must handle its subject neutrally, and anti-Masonic individuals are known to been anonymously targeted and murdered by Freemasons as described by the article.

Thus I see no reason that the article itself should rely on sources that are pro-Freemasonry, as any such embedded information could compromise the online safety of Wikipedia editors operating within archival systems of Western governments.

Wikipedia deserves an Anti-Masonry article that is not compromised by the linguistic ranks of Freemasonry, and I expect to be protected from assassination by Freemasons as described in the article. Jellocube (talk) 00:56, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * poor argument--what are the reliable secondary sourcs you are using? Rjensen (talk) 01:25, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Factual inaccuracy
I find it ironic that Jellocube complains about the article containing factual inacuracies, and then immediately adds a factual inaccuracy. William Morgan was NOT a member of the Anti-Masonic party. That political party didn't exist until after his kidnapping, disappearance and (likely) murder. In fact, it was the "Morgan affair" that caused the formation of the party. I will also note that Morgan was never particularly anti-masonic. Yes, he wrote (and postumously published) an exposé of Masonic rituals... but that was done more as a way to make money (which he desperately needed) than any anti-Masonic sentiment on his part.

Repeated vandalism
I remove the part about the flatulence since it is most likely a joke. One Stanford website mentions that it has something to do with the use of cattle dung as fuel, while the linked websites mentions "human activities" but do not specify what activity.

--BK--

 * Word choice aside, merely due to the fact that particulates are a critical component here, it is dubious that flatulence would play any part. No source makes it even that much harder a sell. -Onceler 17:01, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Various anons keep adding the phrase "including human and bovine farts". There is no support for this in the sources, and thus I will continue to remove it. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 16:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Not that vandalism templates have helped much in the long term, but they do tend to bring attention from admins more quickly for repeated vandalism from the same IP address. I don't know what else one can do.  The history for this page reveals countless reverts for the same text.  Since it is pretty clear the same person or group of people is involved with this recurring vandalism, in the past, I have gone right to level 4: Asian Brown Cloud .  Feel free to paste that on the talk page of the latest IP address doing this. -Onceler 17:01, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I would suggest using level 3, i.e. Asian Brown Cloud if it is clear that it is being given against a person who has vandalised before (e.g. same syle of edits)- otherwise use test1. Using test3 still gives admins the opportunity to block without further warning, whilst preventing a reduction in the impact of test4 (as admins will not automatically block after a test4 if it is not deemed appropriate). I will keep a watch on this article and semi-protect again if it gets really bad. Petros471 09:04, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Atmospheric Brown Cloud
The term "Asian Brown Cloud" is now deemed incorrect after India and China protested against the use of "Asian" in the nomenclature. It is now called "Atmospheric Brown Cloud". I suggest that the article name be changed to "Atmospheric Brown Cloud" and the term "Asian Brown Cloud" be redirected accordingly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kkdeshmukh (talk • contribs) 22:03, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The term is actually quite accurate and would correspond to a similar phenomenon across Europe during the 1960s. The protest is however in itself interesting and should be discussed in the article. Is there a proper reference? Gabriel Kielland (talk) 21:31, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The UNEP impact assessment could form a basis for a second article "Atmospheric Brown Cloud". See . Will you do it? Gabriel Kielland (talk) 23:01, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I dont think there's a need for a second article. "Atmospheric Brown cloud" is now the accepted term in the revised UNEP report. Please refer to the following news report. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kkdeshmukh (talk • contribs)
 * The article deals mostly with the brown cloud that is found over Asia. Thus I think the current title is more accurate. -Atmoz (talk) 22:53, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

 * The news article is not noteworthy as every source is anonymous. Claimed sources are "The Indian scientific community" and "an official familiar with the debate". Is there anything more substantial? Gabriel Kielland (talk) 13:51, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I agree that there is no need for a second article, or to rename this one. The change in the UN nomenclature was obviously a political decision, and not necessarily in favour of accuracy. --Bejnar (talk) 23:18, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Separate South Asia/Indian Ocean from China ?
Should the two brown clouds have separate articles? The South Asia/Indian Ocean one has been much more extensively studied, and many of the statements in this article refer only to it. Any brown cloud in China appears to be much more industrially based than the South Asia/Indian Ocean one. When I first started seeing mentions of China in this article, I wondered if someone was confusing air pollution in China with the distinct brown cloud that is permanent, albeit varies seasonally, over portions of South Asia and the Indian Ocean. For example the first sentence of the article mentions China, but the two references that are cited do not mention China at all. I have corrected the lead sentence to reflect the cited sources. For example, southwest asia includes iran, turkey and Armenia which are not covered by the brown cloud. --Bejnar (talk) 20:08, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Buy American
To what extent has the decision by several corporations to abandon America at every level except retail and management had? How much of that brown cloud results from exported goods? Zaphraud (talk) 06:14, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Very little, the primary source is wood fires and biomass burning. Read the cited reports. --Bejnar (talk) 21:15, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Impact
A large section was added in Oct 2010 to impacts. It seems to be a general discussion of air pollution and not directly related to the topic of this article. Aside from the editor who added it, does anyone else believe that it belongs here? --Bejnar (talk) 23:46, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

This appears to be an inflated number quoted out of context
"Health One major impact is on health. A 2002 study indicated nearly two million people die each year, in India alone, from conditions related to the brown cloud.[11]" If this is true, then it accounts for about 10 percent of yearly mortality in India. It probably refers to all respiratory related deaths in India, and not atmospheric related deaths. Since the reference link does not let you read the whole article it is not clear. The next reference (14 http://www.unep.org/pdf/ABCSummaryFinal.pdf) says 337,000 for India and China. This is a much more believable number. The sentence should be deleted or the more reasonable number should be inserted or an explanation posted here with quotes from the first article.
