Ficus elastica: an in-depth look at the rubber plant
I tagged this delete as I've merged the text of this non-standard name duplicate article with the existing Ficus elastica page - MPF 21:58, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Bob Dylan page dispute/mediation
I did not refuse mediation in this dispute, and it was incorrect for you to say so on the article's talk page. I asked you to clarify comments you had made regarding the dispute, which I believed called into question your suitability as the mediator. Rather than having the courtesy to explain the comments, or otherwise respond substantively, you made statements on the article's talk page which misrepresented my position. Those comments were entirely inappropriate. Monicasdude 22:56, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * There is no need for Ryan to minutely spell out the reasons for mediation. You have at least two editors-in-good-standing who have unequivocally stated that your actions over months on the disputed page have stultified contributions from them and almost all other editors. You are being called to answer the numerous charges of those editors with Ryan as disinterested 3rd party-- you are not called and have no authority to vet Ryan, an Administrator-in-good-standing, beforehand. It's your choice to accept mediation or not. Ryan has done nothing inappropriate. JDG 08:07, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Race and intelligence (Public controversy)/Galton Report
We need to delete this page, which is purely source material and never should have been uploaded here. (And the title is poorly formed). I noticed you'd deleted a speedy tag. Though it is not a 100% proper tag, the original uploaded applied it. There's no significant edit history (except for the tags). We could VfD it, but that seems like overkill. How do you suggest we proceed? Thanks, -Willmcw 01:17, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

RfC on Monicasdude
Started at Requests for comment/Monicasdude. Please help certify it and flesh it out.

 * I think your involvement in this has not been as productive as it could be. I think it would be appropriate, for one, to indicate that you are not offering to provide formal mediation in the sense of Mediation because you are not a member of the Mediation Committee, which only takes up mediation through its own process. Second, you passed over a clear opportunity to get this under control. Monicasdude asked whether NPOV was self-sufficient as a controlling policy, guideline, or principle; if that point is contended, which you appear to believe, the simple answer is to say that lack of agreement as to this point is exactly why you are offering your good offices. There was certainly more than one way to say no, and I have to say that I believe the way you chose to say it reflects poorly on you. By meeting an objection put as a question with a solicitation of an RfC, you appear to be railroading Monicasdude (I don't think this is the case in fact, but read on about the implications taken away by Lulu and JDG), which unnecessarily impugns your impartiality and, more importantly, forecloses on the easier option of informal mediation; a more severe measure like an RfC undermines the good faith that is preferred to cement a solution and continued participation in Wikipedia by all involved parties. The fact that JDG is posting on Lulu's page talking about a ban tells me that the situation is being allowed to run out of control. I would offer that you ought to intercede again with a mediation offer to forestall an RfC. Buffyg 21:01, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Please do not respond to other comments on my talk page. --Ryan Delaney talk 22:55, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

 * OK, sorry. I just had you on the watchlist, since I had commented here.  And I saw the comment by Buffyg that made statements about my own likely perceptions.  I thought I'd clarify in the same place; but I'll snip it out now, and put it over on Buffyg's talk page. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 23:04, 2005 August 28 (UTC)

I added this sentence to my description: I accept the conclusion that Monicasdude's behavior does not qualify as vandalism. I want to make it clear that an allegation of vandalism is not part of my RfC complaint. However, I continue to believe that Monicasdude's edits constitute bad faith, so I do not withdraw that aspect. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 23:11, 2005 August 29 (UTC)

Latest wrinkle
As you have, I have been attempting to format the RfC according to the RfC guidelines. In part this is putting all of the signed comments Monicasdude has scattered throughout the RfC into his response section. Unfortunately, just like with the article that started this, he is doing exactly the same thing: blind and automatic reversion of any change I make, accompanied by rude comments in the changelog. In no case, of course, have I removed any single word that Monicasdude wrote, but just changed the structure to match an RfC. Do you think there's any chance you can do anything to put the format right? Or should I just give up with Monicasdude deciding the RfC is also "his personal page?"

Empty accusations
Please do not come on my talk page and accuse me of doing things I have not done. I have not added any commercial links or any links to my own private website. The only links used are those used as references as required by Wikipedia policy in order to avoid copyright violations. I will not discontinue adding content or references where they are required. If you are going to make accusations, you need to be able to back them up. Uriah923 15:04, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Can you wait more than 2 minutes before suggesting deleting a page?
I was working on the article on the Michelle Thomas character from Matlock, and not 2 minutes later, you put it up for deletion! Can you wait so that I can add content before doing that? It actually takes time to write an article. Patience is a virtue, last I heard. And I think many articles started small - did you suggest deleting them too, or did you give them a chance to get larger? I apologize for my terseness, but give me a break. --JamesR1701E 06:34, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

James Dean
Would you please have a look at the James Dean article. User:Wyss is ignoring the additional sources I am presenting which undoubtedly support my view. He has repeatedly reverted my version of the text without discussing the facts. Onefortyone 00:14, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

I suggest an RfC. Wyss 00:21, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I do not understand why User:Wyss is constantly denigrating all independent sources (books, articles, etc.) which undoubtedly support my view. This user is biasedly suppressing facts. Onefortyone 00:28, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm not going to clutter Ryan's talk page any further than to say 141's sources have been extensively examined and discussed on the associated talk pages and have proven to be mostly fabricated one way or another, with one or two remaining items looking more like sloppy research based on the former. Wyss 00:32, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry, Wyss, this is what you frequently claim, but it is not true. And you already know that. I have cited several independent sources supporting my view, among them Gavin Lambert's Wood biography and a recent Dean biography. You are unable to provide sources which prove that these sources are wrong. Furthermore, look at the biased wording Wyss uses in the said paragraph. Onefortyone 00:35, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Crowns and rebels
Hi Ryan, you recently took the speedy delete off Crowns and rebels, stating it was "not a speedy". I think I might claim otherwise: it appears to be a vanity page and the site it links to seems to be non-notable. The creator of the page was, prior to this, vandalising Kings of Chaos, and created two pages Century 21 (real estate), and an earlier Crowns and rebels, both of which were speedily deleted as being nonsense/vanity pages. (They appeared to be referring to the creator's parents). Thanks, --BillC 00:25, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

As its author and after further reflection and under more sober circumstances I have tagged this article for speedy deletion as I believe it meets the criterion of General article 7 (1.2.7) at WP:CSD. Why do you disagree? hydnjo talk 22:47, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

BTW, I created this article during a whimsical moment. I'm not a vandal and I prefer to go "by the rules". I have nominated this article for speedy deletion because I feel that it meets the criterion mentioned above. If you feel that the article deserves the scrutiny of this community for several days then I would only ask for you rationale. Thanks, hydnjo talk 23:01, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Harry Potter trolling
Ryan, for my edification in regards AfDs, just wondering why you'd voted keep here? Thanks— encephalon έγκέφαλος   08:33:56, 2005-09-07 (UTC)
 * Thank you Ryan. I understand the sentiment. I voted delete myself because the reference base for the article seems to me to be original research, of a kind. A possible exception to this is the Encyclopedia Dramatica reference, although I'm hard-pressed to view that as substantial. Thanks.— encephalon  έγκέφαλος   09:09:43, 2005-09-07 (UTC)

You're right it's not nonense. But I still think it should still be listed as speedy (non-notable, vanity or advert). I can't find any listings of the author Warrick Hutchinson. It looks like a promo for a first book. CambridgeBayWeather 09:46, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Bob Dylan
Hello Malathion. Long time no see... Anyways I was clearing out WP:PP of pages listed before September 1 in the 'real articles' section. Among these was Bob Dylan which you protected August 24th. So, I unprotected it. I had not read the full RfC, understandably, as RfC's can be rather tedious to read. I thought I would acknoweledge you of this since you had protected it. JGM pointed me out your recommendation and now I have reprotected it. Thanks, R  e  dwolf24  (talk) 00:56, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Too soon for unprotection (IMO)
I think it would be fine to unprotect this article so that we can see if the RFC had any effect on his behavior before RFAR is considered. --Ryan Delaney talk 11:10, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Between Monicasdude's below comment and his one edit during the brief unprotection, I definitely tend to think we're not ready for unprotection. Specifically, in, Monicasdude removes a  perfectly good change by an anonymous editor stating "NPOV recent addition".  The change by User:138.88.200.36 itself is probably unnecessary, since readers can follow the George Jackson link themselves.  But the change is also definitely not POV.  To my mind (which is suspicious on this matter, by this point, I admit), it is a slight hint of the same pushy editing pattern that utterly disrespects other editors. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 16:15, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Seems pretty strange to unprotect right now, Ryan. Why do you talk about the RfC in the past tense? We are still awaiting Mdude's full response and I assumed we would then move on to a discussion of remedies. The outcome of that discussion would seem to be the right time to unprotect... But I won't raise a stink, whatever you do. This whole thing is getting very old and I'm drifting towards indifference. Mdude's laughing at it all. Basically, the project is stuck with a nimble bully who's going to waste heaps of people's time/energy in the disputes he kicks up, always staying just this side of actionable offense. What a drag.

Bob Dylan/Monicasdude RfC
I find your string of prejudgments -- most recently, your comments of user:Redwolf24's talk page -- in this matter offensive. You still have not identified any areas where, as you claimed, I insisted on my text in defiance of consensus -- and, as the comments of the RfC should make clear to an unbiased observer, the disputed text that user: Lulu has insisted on including is neither factual nor undisputed, with a clear majority of those commenting opposing it. It should also be clear from the comments on the RfC that there are clearly two sides on this dispute, and that singling me out as the principal cause of the editorial dispute simply casts a blind eye to the clear misbehavior of others.

Shafi3i
Ryan, you were "on the case" with the anon who kept blanking the Qur'an article, so I wonder if you could help me convince User:Shafi3i not to linkspam. He has decided that many of the smaller Islam-related articles are not religiously correct, and that readers should be directed to the sunna.info website. He linkspammed; I reverted; he is busily replacing the linkspam, while informing me on my talk page that he MUST correct the inaccuracies in the articles with his links. I have asked him to revise the articles, but ...

I am indeed tired and cranky (a busy day reverting vandalism and linkspam) and it's possible that I'm not doing the best job of communicating with him. I might even be wrong. If you have the energy and the time, see what you can do about the situation. Zora 04:52, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay thanks for letting me know. I will take that into consideration. But on a side note (and please forgive me if I come across as obtuse): It is also against wikipedia policy to make personal attacks against editors, and the user in question (both logged in an anonymously) had the nerve to write me back after reverting the edits to Declaration of Independence and say that he/she had the right under the Freedom of Speech to insert garbage, then referred me to read the Independence article to understand his "rights" as a vandal. It doesn't seem fair to me that in trying to improve the quality of this encyclopedia I get no support from the admins and told I am in fact incorrect. --Howrealisreal 20:18, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

3RR rule break by Monicasdude and vandalising my talk page
Hi Ryan,

I've been following the case against Monicasdude - having been targeted by him over the summer - and today while improving and updating Live at The Gaslight 1962, he broke the 3RR by ignoring my additions and undoing everything to bring it back to what he prefers without even listening to my reasons. I removed a few of the external links that were direct links to his OWN webpages of unsubstantiated and unsourced material (not to mention self-promotion). Can something be done about his difficult behaviour? Perhaps - from what I've read at the Rfc on his case - a block? He's also gone to my talk page to vandalize it after I've done cleaning. It's just not proper. BGC 23:28, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Ryan. Much appreciated. BGC 00:14, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Edit summaries
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

 * [[Image:Edit_Summary-2.png|Edit summary text box]]

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. --Ryan Delaney talk 20:57, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi. In Talk:Royce_Gracie, after I made my comments about how I didn't see any significant POV, (and ended my comment with the proper Ex0pos 06:07, 27 September 2005 (UTC) ), I noticed that you subsequently made a change to the Talk page, by editing in my own signoff to an earlier paragraph by someone else, a paragraph that I did not write and had barely skimmed over.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that this was a rather bothersome thing to see... and I wanted to bring the mistake to your attention.

"advertising"?
The liberteaser is, like any of the other "libertarian publication," an online libertarian publication. How is linking to it--in the external link section--"advertising"? Hammer of Truth, and a number of other blogs are on there (legitimately) as well. Back off, man. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Freemarkets (talk • contribs) 20:38, 28 September 2005

The reasons for my edits have been discussed hundreds of times on this page, and as long as the same person continues to make the same vicious edits, and snide remarks, I will revert back to pages that represent a neutral point of view, and include reasonable criticisms and citations to an objective record of Dr. Palmer's accomplishments. I don't see the value in continuing to rehash the same arguments for hundreds of "talk" pages. Dr. Palmer's intellectual enemies apparently have an enormous amount of time on their hands to spend it all at Wikipedia, vandalizing his page and using it as advertisement for their kooky web pages. I've merely reverted back to an objectively valid page, one approved by the subject of the page, and most of the page's viewers. Further, I haven't violated the "three reverts" rule, because I've only reverted back to a page twice since 9:30 this morning.-freemarkets

"Second Warning" indicates that I've broken a rule, and you've "warned" me not to twice. However, since I've clearly NOT broken any rule (having reverted to a page only twice in 24 hours, not three times, and certainly not "more than" 3 times, as the language requires), your "warning" hardly seems relevant. I know the rule; I don't need your warning. Until I break a rule, you shouldn't be deleting my reverts, etc.--freemarkets

Apologies, you'll have to be clearer. How can I have violated a policy that requires "more than" three reverts in 24 hours, when I've only reverted twice? Maybe I'm missing something; if so, please advise.--Freemarkets 03:22, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

I would refer you to the history of this page: the revert rule applied equally to others would result in the blocking of at least two others.

You refer to yourself, I see, as a "deletionist." I agree: the Palmer entry is essentially a resume that was written by the subject himself, and insert into Wikipedia if not by him than by his close associates. I have edited it, and focused on the most interesting aspect of the subject: his partisans have continuously reverted to the puff-piece version.

I can see from this incident that Wikipedia is not a valid "encyclopedia," and that there is no way to ensure quality, and so I shall not only cease participating in it, but will also stop linking to it in my work: I cannot in good conscience refer reads to a resource that is becoming little more than a collection of resumes.

According to baseball rules, if one has "more than 2 strikes" called against him while at bat, that player will be called "out." In other words, each batter is "entitled" to 2 strikes before being called "out." According to Wikipedia rules, if one edits a page "more than three times" in a 24 hour period, he is subject to being blocked. How is it, then, that that rule does NOT "entitle" an editor to "three reverts" without being called out? If one must break a rule to be blocked, and one cannot break the rule without reverting more than 3 times in 24 hours, then how have I violated the rule, and how would I be subject to being banned? Further, of what use is your warning?--Freemarkets 11:40, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

John Parker Boyd (December 21, 1764 – October 4, 1830) was an officer in the United States Army at various periods from 1786 to the end of the War of 1812. He attained the rank of brigadier general and commanded during the American defeat at the Battle of Crysler's Farm.

Early life
Boyd was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts, on December 21, 1764. Too young to serve in the American Revolution, but decided upon a military career, he served in the militia and joined the Army as an Ensign in 1786.

He served in the force sent to counter Shays' Rebellion, and resigned after three years in the Army to serve as a Soldier of Fortune in Central India. In 1793, Boyd was contracted by Ahilyabai Holkar to raise a battalion of infantry based on a European model, and later raised two more battalions of soldiers for Baji Rao II. In 1795, he led a force of 1,800 men in the Battle of Kharda, fighting on the side of the Nizam of Hyderabad. Boyd was a highly successful cavalry commander, but was discharged in July 1798, due to his "refractoriness, disobedience, and unreasonableness."

Return to the Army
Boyd continued to offer his services as a mercenary in India. After the British conquest ended the conflicts in which he had taken part, he disbanded his units, sold their equipment, and returned to the United States.

Boyd rejoined the United States Army in October, 1808. Commissioned as Colonel of the 4th Infantry Regiment, during the Battle of Tippecanoe he served as a brigade commander and second-in-command to William Henry Harrison, with the rank of acting Brigadier General.

War of 1812
When the War of 1812 broke out, Boyd initially commanded a brigade under Major General Henry Dearborn in Albany, New York and in action in the area around Plattsburgh. He was promoted to permanent brigadier general in July.

In 1813, he successfully commanded a brigade at the Battle of Fort George. As illness or disgrace removed many of his contemporaries, he eventually commanded the garrison of captured Fort George. After a defeat at the Battle of Beaver Dams, Boyd's troops returned to Fort George and remained on the defensive.

Moving his troops from Fort George to Sacket's Harbor, he later participated in Major General James Wilkinson's ill-fated expedition to attack on Montreal (October, 1813). At the Battle of Crysler's Farm in November, 1813, the illness of Wilkinson and the army's second-in-command, Major General Morgan Lewis made Boyd the commander of the attack. His troops, poorly trained and dispirited from the rapid changes of command, straggled into action on unfavorable terrain. Boyd withdrew from the battle, allegedly under orders from either Wilkinson or Lewis, although later he could not recall who issued the order. Boyd lost control of the battle and was defeated. When the army retreated to French Mills, New York, Wilkinson sought to turn command over to Boyd. However, Wilkinson found an "insuperable repugnance" by other officers to serving under Boyd, and Wilkinson remained in command.

Boyd remained in command of a brigade in winter camp near French Mills. After a half-hearted attack by Wilkinson at Lacolle Mill failed, Wilkinson blamed Boyd, and Boyd was moved into a rear-area assignment. He saw no further combat service, and in 1816 he published a defense of his actions.

Later life
After leaving the Army in 1815, Boyd was involved in several business ventures, often in partnership with his brothers Ebenezer, Robert and Joseph. (Boyd's brother Joseph was Maine's first Treasurer.) He was a founder of the Maine towns of Orneville and Medford.

In 1820 he was compensated by Britain for military services he had rendered in India.

Originally a Democratic-Republican, and later a Jacksonian and a Democrat, Boyd served as a member of the Boston City Council in the 1820s. He was also active in civic causes, including the Scots Charitable Society.

In 1829 President Andrew Jackson appointed Boyd Naval Officer of the Port of Boston, replacing Thomas Melvill, and he served until his death. (At ports in the United States, it was the job of the Collector, Naval Officer and Surveyor to receive copies of manifests from newly arrived ships, provide permits and clearances for the off-loading of cargo, inspect ship contents, estimate the customs duty due, collect the duty, and send collections to the Treasury. They also fined ship and cargo owners who underestimated or attempted to avoid paying duties.  The holders of these positions were paid a portion of the fees collected and fines levied, making them lucrative and sought after political appointments.)

Death and burial
Boyd died in Boston on October 4, 1830. He was buried at Christ Church Cemetery in Boston.

Will
Boyd prepared a will in November, 1816. As transcribed, it reads:

"I John Parker Boyd of Boston, in the County of Suffolk and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and memory, conscious of my dependence upon the Supreme Being, and convinced of the uncertainty of human life, being now about to depart for Europe, do hereby declare this to be my last will and testament, revoking and annulling all by me heretofore made.

Inprimia - After my legal and just debts are paid, I give and bequeath one Quarter of all my Estate to Frances Boyd, my natural daughter by Housina, a Mahometan lady born in my camp in the vicinity of Ponah, in the month of June and fourth day, 1797, and christened the same year in Ponah by the Revd. Father of the Roman Catholic Church of that City, Major Tone being Godfather and Mesdames Franswa and Finglap, Godmothers. But in the case of my daughter, the said Frances Boyd, shall decease without lawful issue, my will is that my brothers and sisters shall be her heirs to the property I have thus bequeathed her, and to her relations in India, to be divided between my said Brothers and Sisters in the same proportion as the property I have herein bequeathed to them, is distributed.

I give and bequeath One Quarter of all my Estate to Wallace, my natural son by Marie Rupell, born Oct. 1814. But in the case this child Wallace should die without lawful issue, my will is that my Brothers and Sisters be heirs to the property I have herein bequeathed to him, in like manner as I have stated with respected to my daughter, the said Frances Boyd, now in India.

I give and bequeath one half of all my estate to my own Brothers and Sisters in the following proportions:

To my brother, Robert Boyd, one tenth of the aforesaid one half of all my Estate. To my brother, Joseph Boyd, two tenths of the aforesaid one half of all my Estate. To my brother E. L. Boyd, two tenths of the aforesaid one half of all my Estate. To my sister Margaret Storer, Two tenths of the aforesaid one half of all my Estate. To my sister, Frances Little, Three Tenths of the aforesaid one half of my Estate.

But nevertheless I will the following legacies be first paid out of the whole Estate before any dividend shall take place: One Hundred Guineas to Miss Maria Smith of Philadelphia to purchase a Ring which she is requested to accept as a testimony to my ardent and unchangeable affection.

I commit the care and guardianship of my son Wallace to my Sister Little and would recommend that he should be educated for the army or navy. I do constitute my brothers, J. C. Boyd and E. L. Boyd as Executors."

Family
Boyd never married, but according to his will and other sources is known to have had two children. One was a daughter named Frances, born in India on June 4, 1797 to a Muslim woman named Housina. The other was a son named Wallace, born in October, 1814 to a woman named Marie Rupell. As indicated in his will, Boyd intended to leave a large portion of his estate to Housina and Frances, but they could not be located. Wallace received 25 percent of Boyd's estate. He later changed his name to John Wallace Boyd and became a ship's captain based in Boston.

Legacy
Boyd Lake in Orneville is named for him.

In 2008 a Mississippi woman, Charlotte Dillard, purchased at a Goodwill store in Georgia for slightly more than seven dollars an antique two-volume Bible inscribed "Symphonia A. Little presented by her uncle General Boyd." At the time of the purchase, Dillard planned to keep the books and display them at her home.

Boyd's name is included on Plaque 8 in Paul Revere Mall, listed among those from Boston's North End who played leadership roles in the American Revolution and War of 1812. (Paul Revere Mall is bounded by Hanover, Tileston, Unity and Charter Streets. It is a brick park with benches, a fountain and flowers. It includes numerous bronze plaques to commemorate various historical events and individuals, and features an equestrian statue of Paul Revere.)

Military Reputation
Boyd's reputation as a commander is mixed. On one hand, he was praised for his skill, including his success in India. On the other, he was defeated at Crysler's Farm by a force only half the size of his. Winfield Scott clearly did not have high regard for Boyd, calling him amiable and respectable in a subordinate position but "vacillating and imbecile beyond all endurance as a chief under high responsibilities." Others have commended Boyd's military performance on specific occasions, including Tippecanoe and Fort George.

Is the proposed deletion of the "Rosalind Franklin Joke Card" your idea of a joke? It is an essential part of the article and it appears in Brenda Maddox's biography and Maurice Wilkins' autobiography. Having spoken to Professor Raymond Gosling in the past, I do feel sure he would have no objection to it appearing in the article; unfortunately it is not possible to gauge the opinions of Franklin and Wilkins, as they are both dead. To remove this image is totally illogical as it is an integral part of the story of the Double Helix. Please comment asap.

James Blair (clergyman)

James Blair (1656 – 18 April 1743) was a Scottish-born clergyman in the Church of England. He was also a missionary and an educator, best known as the founder of the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.

Youth and education
James Blair was born in Scotland, possibly in Edinburgh or in Banffshire. His parents were Peter Blair, minister of St Cuthbert's, Edinburgh, and Mary Hamilton Blair. He was educated at Marischal College, University of Aberdeen and the University of Edinburgh, where he received a Master of Arts degree.

After completing his education, in 1679 he was ordained in the national Church of Scotland (known officially at this time as the Kirk of Scotland, see kirk). During the entire 17th century the Kirk had been experiencing passionate internal conflicts between Presbyterians and Episcopalians (see, for example, the Bishops' Wars). The Episcopalians were in the ascendancy during this period and the Church of Scotland was briefly aligned with the Church of England during the reign of Charles II of Scotland. Charles was a strong opponent of Presbyterianism and throughout his lifetime worked to reassert the strength of the Anglican Church.

In 1681, Blair, aligned with the Episcopalians, was deprived of his parish in Edinburgh due to the conflict within the Episcopal movement between those supporting the Roman Catholic Church and those advocating a continued independent Episcopal national church. Blair relocated to London later that year.

Missionary to the Virginia Colony
In London, 1685, he was ordained in the Church of England, and at the request of Henry Compton, the Bishop of London (responsible for the colonies), Blair travelled to the New World with a mission to "revive and reform the church in the Virginia Colony." His initial assignment was to serve as rector of the Parish of Henrico at Varina. He developed good relationships with prominent political families, such as the Harrison family. He married Sarah Harrison, daughter of Benjamin Harrison Jr., on 2 June 1687.

When John Clayton, Commissary in the Virginia Colony for the Bishop of London, returned to England after just two years of service, Blair succeeded him, making him the colony's highest-ranking religious leader, a position that he would hold for 54 years.

College of William & Mary
The leaders of the Virginia Colony had long wanted school to give their sons higher education, as well as to educate the natives. An attempt to establish a permanent university at Henricus for these purposes around 1618 failed after the Indian Massacre of 1622 wiped out the entire settlement, which was not rebuilt.

Almost 70 years later, with encouragement from the Colony's House of Burgesses and other prominent individuals, Blair prepared a plan, believed by some historians to be modelled after the earlier one from Henricus, and returned to England in 1691 to petition the monarchy for a new college. The Powhatan people had been largely decimated and reduced to reservations after the last major conflict in 1644, but the religious aspiration to educate them into Christianity was nevertheless retained, perhaps as a moral incentive to help gain support and approval in London. Moreover, the school would serve to train clergy born in the colonies for service among their neighbors.

The trip to London proved successful. Blair was supported in his efforts by John Tillotson, who was the Archbishop of Canterbury. (Protestants King William and Queen Mary II of England were reigning joint monarchs of Britain, having just deposed Catholic James II of England in 1688 during the Glorious Revolution.) In 1693, a charter was granted for The College of William & Mary in Virginia, named to honour both monarchs. Blair was made president of the new school for life. He served for 50 years, from 1693 to 1743, and remains the longest serving president of the college and the sixth longest serving college president in US history.

After Blair returned to Virginia, the trustees of the new college bought a parcel of 330 acre from Thomas Ballard for the new school. The location chosen was at Middle Plantation, a high point on the Virginia Peninsula so named because it was equidistant from the James and York Rivers. Middle Plantation had served as a defensive location during periodic conflicts with the Native Americans since its establishment in 1632. Blair established his home at nearby Rich Neck Plantation.

The college was given a seat in the House of Burgesses. Financial income was to come by taxation of a penny per pound on tobacco exported from Maryland and Virginia to countries other than England, and from other similar sources, such as an export duty on furs and animal skins. The new school opened in temporary buildings in 1694. Properly called the "College Building," the first version of the Wren Building was built at Middle Plantation beginning on 8 August 1695 and occupied by 1700. Today, the Wren Building is the oldest academic structure in continuous use in America. (Incidentally, it is called the "Wren Building" because tradition has it that the building was designed by the famed English architect Sir Christopher Wren who had designed St Paul's Cathedral in London. His actual involvement with the College Building completed in 1700 is disputed by some historians.)

Capital of Virginia, Williamsburg
The State House at Jamestown burned for the third time in 1698, and as it had in the past, the legislature again took up temporary quarters at Middle Plantation. On 1 May 1699, Blair and five students of the College of William & Mary appeared before the House of Burgesses to suggest that they designate Middle Plantation (soon to be renamed Williamsburg in honour of King William III), as the new capital of Virginia. A month later, the legislators agreed.

Williamsburg served as the capital of Virginia for 81 years, until 1780, when the capital was moved to Richmond for security reasons at the outset of the American Revolution.

Religious leadership, writing
James Blair served as a member and for a time, president of the Governor's Council in Virginia. As representative of the Bishop of London (of Oxford until 1675), Henry Compton, Blair held great power and responsibility in Virginia. The separation of church and state became a fundamental political concept in Virginia only after the American Revolution. In response to complaints about dissolute clergy in the colonies, Compton had instructed Lieutenant Governor Herbert Jeffreys to investigate the situation, and then had suspended or removed those found problematic, as well as instituted a procedure to issue certificates attesting to a clergyman's orthodoxy and character and urged colonial governors not to hire those lacking such certificates. The other initial problem Blair faced was that in 1697, only half of organised parishes had ministers. Six years later, with Compton's assistance nearly 80% of the approximately 50 parishes had clergy, although then additional parishes were chartered. Other efforts proved less successful. For instance, he managed to increase clergy stipends to 16,000 pounds of tobacco annually, amounting to a value of about 60 pounds sterling rather than the 80 he desired. Also, to his dismay, the colony's lay leaders refused to introduce ecclesiastical courts for moral offenses. Nonetheless, Blair worked to improve the moral condition of the people while he also defended them against the tyranny of the royal governors. He had great influence in England, and reportedly was involved with the recall to England of one royal governor, Edmund Andros, and two Lieutenant Governors who were serving in the absence of the Royal Governor: Francis Nicholson and Alexander Spotswood.

He was also the Rector of Bruton Parish Church in Williamsburg from 1710 until his death. Blair organised the construction of the second church building, which began in 1711. The building was restored in the early 20th century under then-rector W.A.R. Goodwin. This project inspired Goodwin to advocate further restorations of other buildings, and seek sources of funding to do so, which led him to Colonial Williamsburg's greatest benefactor, Standard Oil fortune heir John D. Rockefeller Jr. and his family.

In 1722, Blair published Our Savior's Divine Sermon on the Mount, a five-volume collection of his sermons from 1707 to 1721. With Henry Hartwell and Edward Chilton, Blair wrote The Present State of Virginia and the College, which was published in 1727.

Death, burial at Jamestown
Blair died of a gangrenous rupture on 18 April 1743. He was buried next to his wife Sarah (née Harrison) Blair (d.1713) at Jamestown Island. Preservation Virginia now owns the original Jamestown site, including the church and cemetery. In 2005, the Cypher Society of the college announced it was taking responsibility for a site restoration and beautification of the Blair graves at Jamestown Island in anticipation of Jamestown 2007, which celebrated the settlement's 400th anniversary.

Heritage
"probably no other man in the colonial time did so much for the intellectual life of Virginia."

During the Colonial period, Blair was instrumental in reviving and reforming the Church of England in Virginia.

Blair's contributions to education in Virginia are recognised not only at the College of William & Mary, where Blair Hall is named for him, but also in the naming of various schools, including James Blair Middle School in James City County, Virginia, (formerly James Blair High School) and James Blair Middle School in Norfolk, Virginia.

In the Wren Building of the College of William & Mary, a large portrait of Blair is displayed in the Great Hall. A statue of him on the campus was dedicated for the college's 300th birthday in 1993.

In 1943, the United States commissioned a victory ship James Blair in his honour.

Dismal Mountains

The Dismal Mountains are a group of nunataks about 35 mi southwest of Rayner Peak in Antarctica. They were photographed from ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) aircraft in 1956, and surveyed by G.A. Knuckey during a dog-sledge journey from Amundsen Bay to Mawson Station in December 1958. They are so named because the mountains are frequently shrouded in clouds.

Electrical enclosure

An electrical enclosure is a cabinet for electrical or electronic equipment to mount switches, knobs and displays and to prevent electrical shock to equipment users and protect the contents from the environment. The enclosure is the only part of the equipment which is seen by users. It may be designed not only for its utilitarian requirements, but also to be pleasing to the eye. Regulations may dictate the features and performance of enclosures for electrical equipment in hazardous areas, such as petrochemical plants or coal mines. Electronic packaging may place many demands on an enclosure for heat dissipation, radio frequency interference and electrostatic discharge protection, as well as functional, esthetic and commercial constraints.

Standards
Internationally, IEC 60529 classifies the IP Codes (ingress protection rating) of enclosures.

In the United States, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) publishes NEMA enclosure type standards for the performance of various classes of electrical enclosures. The NEMA standards cover corrosion resistance, ability to protect from rain and submersion, etc.

Materials
Electrical enclosures are usually made from rigid plastics, or metals such as steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. Steel cabinets may be painted or galvanized. Mass-produced equipment will generally have a customized enclosure, but standardized enclosures are made for custom-built or small production runs of equipment. For plastic enclosures ABS is used for indoor applications not in harsh environments. Polycarbonate, glass-reinforced, and fiberglass boxes are used where stronger cabinets are required, and may additionally have a gasket to exclude dust and moisture.

Metal cabinets may meet the conductivity requirements for electrical safety bonding and shielding of enclosed equipment from electromagnetic interference. Non-metallic enclosures may require additional installation steps to ensure metallic conduit systems are properly bonded.

Stainless steel and carbon steel
Carbon steel and stainless steel are both used for enclosure construction due to their high durability and corrosion resistance. These materials are also moisture resistant and chemical resistant. They are the strongest of the construction options. Carbon steel can be hot or cold rolled. Hot rolled carbon steel is used for stamping and moderate forming applications. Cold rolled sheet is produced from low carbon steel and then cold reduced to a certain thickness and can meet ASTM A366 and ASTM A611 requirements.

Stainless steel enclosures are suited for medical, pharma, and food industry applications since they are bacterial and fungal resistant due to their non-porous quality. Stainless steel enclosures may be specified to permit wash-down cleaning in, for example, food manufacturing areas.

Aluminum
Aluminum is chosen because of its light weight, relative strength, low cost, and corrosion resistance. It performs well in harsh environments and it is sturdy, capable of withstanding high impact with a high malleable strength. Aluminum also acts as a shield against electromagnetic interference.

Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate used for electrical enclosures is strong but light, non-conductive and non-magnetic. It is also resistant to corrosion and some acidic environments; however, it is sensitive to abrasive cleaners. Polycarbonate is the easiest material to modify.

Fiberglass
Fiberglass enclosures resist chemicals in corrosive applications. The material can be used over all indoor and outdoor temperature ranges. Fiberglass can be installed in environments that are constantly wet.

Terminology
Enclosures for some purposes have partially punched openings (knockouts) which can be removed to accommodate cables, connectors, or conduits. Where they are small and primarily intended to conceal electrical junctions from sight, or protect them from tampering, they are also known as junction boxes, street cabinets or technically as serving area interface.

Telecommunications
Telecommunication enclosures are fully assembled or modular field-assembled transportable structures capable of housing an electronic communications system. These enclosures provide a controlled internal environment for the communications equipment and occasional craftspeople. The enclosures are designed with locks, security, and alarms to discourage access by unauthorized persons. Enclosures can be provided with a decorative facade to comply with local building requirements.

Fire risk

Electrical enclosures are prone to fires that can be very intense (in the order of the megawatt) and are hence an important topic of fire safety engineering.

Belarus women's national football team

The Belarus women's national football team represents Belarus in international women's football. The team is governed by the Football Federation of Belarus (Беларуская фэдэрацыя па футболу).

After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, FIFA and UEFA, the European governing body for football, banned Belarusian national and club teams from hosting international competitions.

History
Belarus first appeared in a FIFA/UEFA qualification stage in the 1997 European Championship, where it was paired with the Czech Republic, Poland and Estonia. In its first official match they lost 0–1 to the Czech Republic on 7 October 1995. In May 1996 they attained their first official win by beating 3–0 Poland, which had defeated them 2–0 in the first match. In the 1999 World Cup qualifying Belarus was ranked in Class B, with no qualifying options.

In the 2001 European Championship qualifying, again in Class B, Belarus beat Estonia 4–1 and 0–7, Israel 0–5 and 1–0 and Slovakia 1–0, and tied 1–1 in Romania, but the Romanians earned the spot in the promotion play-offs after beating Belarus 0–1. Belarus lost 6–1 to Slovakia in the last match.

In the 2003 World Cup qualifying, Class B, Belarus was 3rd, tied with Slovakia.

...that Reverend Dr. James Blair of Scotland was a clergyman and missionary to the Virginia Colony, and is best known as the founder in 1693 of the College of William and Mary, where he served as President for 50 years?

copyvios
This page has large swathes of copyright violation. I'll try to go through and rewrite the whole thing. Please see Copyvio. *sigh* Doops | talk 03:58, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Where do you think it's copyvio from?--Pharos 04:01, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * He died in 1743, after having been president of this institution for about fifty, and a minister of the gospel for above sixty years.: from

 * Note that both sources are included in the "see also." OK, perhaps "large swathes" was hyperbole; these are both small examples. But in a sense that's what's so frustrating; if the whole article was a cut-and-paste we could just erase it and start again. I don't have the energy right now (contrary to what I wrote above) to rewrite the whole thing; but I don't know where to begin or stop. I could fix those two sentences; but would that be enough? What more have I missed? Besides, it's very hard to rewrite one sentence to remove copyvio (the devil's advocate might argue that it's impossible.) I don't really know what to do. Maybe I'll sleep on it Doops | talk 04:12, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe I am missing your point, but Wikipedia does not want original writing. The various pieces of information came from multiple sources, and most were verified from more than one. We are editors. As long as we don't have entire paragraphs taken verbatim, and we don't, every sentence or phrase used need not be paraphrased, especially true when properly attributed. How else would you research something and compile a good article? To try to placate your concerns, I will address the 2 specifics you identified, and look for anything else of that same nature. Vaoverland 04:31, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * We're called editors but we're writers too; and while the Wikipedia doesn't want original research it needs original writing. Copyright can certainly extend down to the level of the sentence or even phrase (if it's very distinctive). To avoid this sort of problem I generally write "from memory," i.e. having read my sources I write the article on a blank screen as though I were an expert on the subject and don't need to consult anything. Then I go back to my sources and re-read them to check that I've got all the details correct or to get the exact wording of any verbatim quotes. (However, in the spirit of full honesty I must admit that I don't start a lot of new articles; I'm more of a "reactive" editor.) Anyway, sorry if my tone above was somewhat histrionic; and I certainly recognize that your writing of this page (and robust inclusion of sources) was done in good faith. Doops | talk 04:55, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * In reviewing my notes, some of the information came from Wikipedia articles on the College of William and Mary and the Wren Building, neither of which were started by me, and others on related topics. There are internal links to any source within Wikipedia which was used, such as the article I started about W.A.R. Goodwin and Bruton Parish Church. Vaoverland 04:52, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Our last 2 messages were written almost at the same time. I want my contributions to be credible. So I will respond in that spirit. I can't write an article chocked full of facts and dates like this one and write it all from memory. But I try to make sure the facts are verified from multiple sources and are presented in a logical order and balance.
 * Mark in Historic Triangle of Virginia Vaoverland 05:03, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm going to have to cut most of the comment I intended to make here because what Doops has just posted is essentially my idea as well. I don't think it's necessary o write from memory, but we shouldn't be taking others' wording, nor "re-phrasing" either, but having only a synthesis of ideas. Of course, taking wording from other Wikipedia articles is fine (though this should preferably be noted in the edit summary), but when using other sources we should be really careful to avoid plagiarism (see for definition; the concept is often misunderstood).--Pharos 05:15, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I have been going back over the article step by step, and will compare sources to text used, to address the concerns about what maybe borderlineplagiarism, and to improve content and grammar at the same time, with the goal if having a better article as soon as possible, particularily since it is on Main Page in DYK today. I will try hard to leave good edit summary trail as I do so. Vaoverland 09:16, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

"penny a pound" tax on tobacco
What sense of the word "pound" is meant? A penny on a pound sterling's worth of tobacco, or on an actual pound in weight? Doops | talk 03:31, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * PS: on reflection, the former seems much more likely. Doops | talk 06:21, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Another source is more clear: "The college was given a seat in the House of Burgesses and was supported by taxation of a penny per pound on tobacco exported from Maryland and Virginia to countries other than England..."

SOURCE: http://www.wm.edu/vitalfacts/seventeenth.php

I have revised the statement in the article for better clarity.
 * Vaoverland 07:39, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry; I don't understand. As far as I can see that quotation is still not explicit about which meaning of pound (pound sterling / pound (weight)) is implied. Am I missing something? Do you agree with my £ assumption above? Doops | talk 08:01, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I am speculating that the language implied penny for each pound (weight) of tobacco, but by limiting imposition to only non-England exports, perhaps the numbers work better for you. I agree it isn't very consider, and I will try to find a source which is more concise. Vaoverland 08:22, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Here's why I suspect it's £: a tax of a penny-a-£ would be a tax rate of 1/240, which is about 0.4%. That seems pretty tiny; but we have to remember that there were probably other taxes on this tobacco too and they would have all added up together. On the other hand, putting a tax of a penny on each pound in weight of tobacco sounds impossibly high. At a penny-a-lb a ship's cargo of tobacco would have had pounds and pounds and pounds worth of tax, which seems like an awful lot.

 * I guess here's the nub of the question: how much did a pound of tobacco cost? A pound was a lot of money in those days (in 1830, according to a book on woodland I have, £5 would still buy you a 20-cubic-ft oak tree); so I assume it was rather less than a £. If a pound of tobacco cost, say, 2s (i.e. £1 bought 10 lbs of tobacco), that would be a tax rate of 4%. That's not impossible, I guess. But much higher than that doesn't seem likely. So if the price of tobacco was much lower than 2s a lb, we can probably rule out a penny-a-lb. If it was higher than 2s a lb, then I guess the question remains open.

 * A possible counter-argument might be that tobacco wasn't sold in british money in colonial Va. Was it? I don't know. But even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be impossible to express the tax in those terms yet pay it in other money at the same rate (1/240). Doops | talk 17:27, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Authority (management)

Authority in project management is the power that gives a project manager the ability to act in the name of the project sponsor executive or on behalf of the organization.

There are several different types of authority that project managers can leverage:
 * Positional authority (also referred to as formal or legitimate authority): refers to the project manager's authority enforced through the project charter or some other organizational means (organizational level, reporting relationship, etc).
 * Coercive authority (also referred to as penalty authority): refers to motivating staff by threat of punishment such as fear of losing a bonus, assigning unappealing work, losing status, issuing a formal reprimand or possibly even losing their job.
 * Expert authority: achieved through formal mechanisms such as certifications or education. Project Managers have several formal certifications available from global certification bodies such as the Project Management Professional (PMP) or Prince2 Foundation. In addition, degrees or diplomas from universities or educational institutes can further confer expertise on a project manager.  Finally, validated experience in a relative field and industry can associate a project manager as an expert in their field.
 * Referent authority: for project managers this typically refers to the authority earned by displaying integrity, fairness and respect to others. This power enables project managers to gain the confidence of their teams even in the absence of formal/reward or penalty power.  Referent authority is also associated with being accessible or approachable and possessing the necessary charisma to enable team members to share their ideas, feelings and concerns.  Another perspective on referent authority is provided by French and Raven based on the groups or affiliations that the project manager belongs to, this can either be positive or negative.
 * Reward authority: refers to positive reinforcement and the ability to award something of value.

Due to the temporary nature of projects, most project managers will rely primarily on expert and referent authority.

Barton in the Beans

Barton in the Beans is a hamlet and former civil parish, now in the parish of Shackerstone, in the Hinckley and Bosworth district of Leicestershire, England. There are no shops or pubs in the hamlet, but it contains a Baptist Church and a post box. It was in the 18th century an important centre for the Baptist Church and the minister at Barton was the notable clockmaker Samuel Deacon (1746–1816). In 1931 the parish had a population of 177.

One of the earliest mentions of this place is in the Domesday Book where it is listed among the lands given to Hugh de Grandmesnil by the King (the land required half a plough and there were 2 acre of meadow). During the Middle Ages the land passed through many hands including several members of the family of Hastings.

Toponymy
Barton is one of many places in England with this name: both this Barton and that in Nottinghamshire were once known as "Barton-in-Fabis" but that is no longer used for the Leicester Barton. In the Domesday Book both are just 'Bartone' and later usage has varied (the meaning of Barton in both cases is probably 'grange' i.e. an outlying farm within an estate).

A popular saying in the county is "Shake a Leicestershire man by the collar and you may hear the beans rattle in his belly": the author John Benjamin Firth quotes this from a contributor to Magna Britannia, 1820. Leicestershire was once noted for cultivating the broad bean (Vicia faba) and in this way the bean has been perpetuated in place-names.

Samuel Deacon and the Barton Baptists
In 1751 six men associated with a Baptist group at Barton registered themselves as dissenting preachers under the Act of Toleration. These included Samuel Deacon. By 1759 they had established another church in Melbourne, then at Kegworth, Loughborough and Kirkby Woodhouse. Next they extended to Hinckley and Longford in Warwickshire.

Deacon was from Ratby and settled at Barton ca. 1765 and set up in business as a clockmaker. Another of the Baptist preachers, Joseph Donisthorpe, was also a clockmaker. Deacon's workshop was preserved by his successors and after many years of continuous use is now in the collections of the Leicester Museum. He was a leader of the General Baptists sect and the author of many works, including his autobiography.

The Baptist church became highly influential across the region. Dan Taylor, founder of the Baptist New Connexion, found the church 'strenuous advocates' of the 'essential truths' of the Gospel.

Governance
Barton in the Beans was formerly a township, from 1866 Barton in the Beans was a civil parish in its own right until it was abolished on 1 April 1935 and merged with Shackerstone.

Notable residents

 * John Goodman (born 1765) was a Baptist preacher who hired out leeches for bloodletting. The leeches came from lakes in Cheshire and North Wales through which Goodman would wade with bare legs.
 * George Darnell (1798–1857) was a schoolmaster born in Barton in the Beans who became famous in the 19th century for Darnell's Copybooks.

Edward VIII Bay

Edward VIII Bay is a bay about 20 mi in extent, located between Edward VIII Plateau (a dome-shaped, ice-covered peninsula near Magnet Bay) and the Øygarden Group of islands in Antarctica. The head of the bay is occupied by the Edward VIII Ice Shelf. The bay was discovered in 1936 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the RRS William Scoresby, and named for Edward VIII, then King of the United Kingdom.

Kvarsnes Foreland is a prominent, rocky foreland projecting into the south side of Edward VIII Bay close west of the Øygarden Group. Kvarsnes Bay is a small bay at the southwest side of Kvarsnes Foreland, and is named in association with it. Rund Bay ("Round Bay") is a small bay indenting the south shore of Edward VIII Bay immediately east of Kvarsnes Foreland. These features were mapped and named by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37.

Edward VIII Ice Shelf

Edward VIII Ice Shelf is an ice shelf occupying the head of Edward VIII Bay in Antarctica. The northern part of this feature was called Innviksletta (the inner bay plain) by Norwegian cartographers, who mapped it from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition in 1936–37. The area was first visited in 1954 by an ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) sledge party. The entire ice shelf was then mapped and named in association with Edward VIII Bay.

Edward VIII Plateau

The Edward VIII Plateau is a dome-shaped, ice-covered peninsula between Magnet Bay and Edward VIII Bay in Antarctica. It was probably seen by personnel on the RSS William Scoresby in 1936, and mapped from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37, and named Gulfplataet (the gulf plateau). It was renamed "King Edward Plateau" by ANCA, but the form Edward VIII Plateau has been approved by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) to be consistent with the names of nearby Edward VIII Bay and Ice Shelf.

Nicola Logroscino

Nicola Bonifacio Logroscino (1698 – c. 1765) was an Italian composer who is best known for his operas.

Biography
He was born at Bitonto (Province of Bari) in the Apulia region and was a pupil of Giovanni Veneziano and Giuliano Perugino at the Conservatorio di Santa Maria di Loreto. In 1738 he collaborated with Leonardo Leo and others in the hasty production of Demetrio; in the autumn of the same year he produced a comic opera, L'inganno per inganno, the first of a long series of comic operas, the success of which won him the name of "il Dio dell'opera buffa". He went to Palermo, probably in 1747, as a teacher of counterpoint; as an opera composer he is last heard of in 1760, and is supposed to have died about 1763 or 1765.

Logroscino has been credited with the invention of the concerted operatic finale, but as far as can be seen from the score of Governatore and the few remaining fragments of other operas, his finales show no advance upon those of Leo. As a musical humorist, he has been classed with Gioacchino Rossini.

Hendren v. Campbell
Hi, just edit conflicted with you over the star of the Hendren article. Good to know someone else is looking at that also. Incidentally, I noticed in your talk page history you've removed some prior conversations. The accepted practice on Wikipedia is to archive previous discussions on a separate page so they can be easily found. See WP:ARCHIVE. JoshuaZ 18:00, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks. But the utter speed was a suprise.  I actually created the Kitzmiller v. Dover (before I registered) and spent at least an hour or two working on it before I got any help.  It was only minutes after I made a link to it from the Kitzmiller article that I posted my stub and only a very short time before you started contributing.  MichaelSH forgot to sign this comment.

I knew that some people archived talk, I did not realize that it was standardized. I considered what was cut to be out-of-date and of little interest. I guess if enough talk shows up here I will have to achive it. As it is, only a few edits have been made to this talk page and thus checking history will get it.

Oh, and two other things- first when writing on talk pages you may want to sign your comments on talk pages with four tildes ~ which will be relaced with your user name and the time of your comment. Second, regarding redirects being made into directs, you may want to see. In general, unless one is editing something else on the page with that edit it does not make sense to change redirects into direct links. Especially when an article is new one should wait until one has some other change to do and then make the redirect modification when one does that. JoshuaZ 22:15, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I know about the four tildes. I usually do sign my remarks in talk pages, but it is easy to sometimes to forget to do so. MichaelSH 22:23, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

This Zack (while not a person in the world, BTW) is the only real or fiction person or other thing w/ a WP article, that is called only by that given name. Therefore no Dab is needed at this time. Someone may have taken Sephiroth into account, and given Zack a Dab'g qualification bcz they had one, but that is bad reasoning.
 * _ _ One reason for avoiding unneeded qualifications is that users who come looking for the novel Zack, and find FF7 right in the title of the article they go to are confused and annoyed, and not likely to consider starting a stub article on it using the small amount they already know about the novel. If they went to what they asked for, and found the article in question, titled as they typed it, they will be less annoyed.  And Zack can have a Top-of-Page Dab w/ a rd-lk to the novel, without such confusing language as "Zack (Final Fantasy VII) -- Zack redirects here; for the novel Zack go to Zack (novel)".
 * _ _ Now, in the present case, there's a solution that may be better than putting the FF7 char's article at Zack with a ToP Dab for the novel. You can't have a Dab "article" with only one lk, but sometimes you can have one with one rd lk & one blue lk.  There's already a lk to Zach intended for the novel, and the novel may be worthy of an article. I'm not about to make the decision about whether Zack (novel) is AfD-bait, but until someone else decides it is, a Dab at Zack is in order.  (If and when they do, the Dab would go to Zack (disambiguation) for potential future need, and the game article back again to Zack.)
 * _ _ (However, even in the meantime, this Zack is presumably the only one in FF1 thru FF999, so the "VII" is overspecification.) --Jerzy•t 03:11, 4 October & (correcting 4 typoes, now shown in bold) 01:08, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * You are completely wrong about it being this being the only article with a person named Zack. Try: Zack Esposito, Zack Scrivner, Zack Wheat, Zack Taylor, Zack Allan, Zack Yang, Zack Greinke, Zack Werner.... ~ Hibana 19:44, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
