India Map
Well I modified the original significantly. I changed some of the dates b/c they were incorrect & I added original territorial ownership for clarity. As for attribution, I cited it as my own work b/c I wasn't sure how 2 cite an earlier version when I essentially created an new image/file all together. B/c last time I checked, you can't correct an image/map w/o deleting the original file. & any way, I edited it significantly that little of the original information persisted into the updated file {i.e.- some of your dates were incorrect & one of the cities may have been mispelled & the key did not include a listing of all the colonial powers represented on the map}. But any way, sorry if that bothered you. I don't even know if that image is still up any way.

& Bombay should be cited as Portuguese 1st, British second. It was given to Britain by the Portuguese monarch as a wedding gift for the marriage of his daughter to King John of Lancaster {his wife was also the one who introduced tea to England}.

& if there is a way to cite an earlier map already hosted on Wikipedia, then by all means tell me how I can do that.

Speedy deletion of Image:60px WikiIndia 1.png
A tag has been placed on Image:60px WikiIndia 1.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Attribution Violation
I've been rather busy for several years now with life... so I didn't notice your message on my board. 1) You make a fuss over nothing. You clearly don't understand what it means to copyright something nor do you understand what it means to significantly alter what someone else created to the point at which they no longer deserve credit. 2) You're too full of yourself and your work that you think that somehow your work/intellectual opinion is the only thing worth being included in article.

With respect to "1)" I could have mentioned that you created something similar which I substantially altered... however, I am by no means required to do so by law. Furthermore, you were completely wrong about dates and locations and flags {and even included the contemporary flags, something you never did}, in other cases b/c you made note of certain changes of flag, but only those which were of convenience to you.

Regarding "2)" I shall expand upon my "1)" note to include the following: under copyright law as I understand it, significant alteration of an image as I did constitutes a new document and something entirely separate from your creation. This is the same as one artist taking a drawing by Picasso, altering it slightly or not at all, but adding that drawing/painting as a subset feature of a larger work of art. For an example of what I mean, see the derivative work "L.H.O.O.Q." by Marcel Duchamp based on the Mona Lisa.

Furthermore, as to the US legal definition of a derivative work: 17 U.S.C. § 101: '':A “derivative work” is a work based upon one or more pre-existing works, such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which a work may be recast, transformed, or adapted. A work consisting of editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications which, as a whole, represent an original work of authorship, is a “derivative work”.''

At the end of the day, I think the only real loser in all of this is the casual Wikipedia user who makes use of your inaccurate map as opposed to my revised one. And an fyi>> I did cite you in my derivative work, but you still marked mine INACCURATELY as a COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT only b/c I removed your map from the "History of India" article. Of course, had Wikipedia made it easier to edit and remove your rudimentary map, I would have done that instead.. but they didn't at the time. Sorry about the wounded ego. --EricSRodrigues154 07:50, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Happy holidays to you. The point being raised here a few years old, and is a moot point now that the pirated version had been rightfully discarded from WP a couple of years since. You accuse people of being full of themselves. It is evident, however, from the above what you are full of.
 * I would urge you yet again to respect people's effort and work and the licenses associated with them; make required attributions as mentioned, and not to plagiarize; do not 'steal' images from the Internet and upload it to WP - it increases sysops work; and be civil and sober on talk pages.

Request to use your Gujarat District Map in an academic publication
Hi

I'm a scholar who wishes to use your district map of Gujarat in an academic publication. If I need to attribute it to you under the CC license, how would you like me to cite your name? Also from what I can see, you created this map in 2005?

Many thanks

Something goes wrong on the road
File:Language travel from India.png there are some errors and possible misinterpretations on this map. This is map is about script, not about language, which is related to language, but most of the (spoken) language here that use indic writing system had no relationship with indian (spoken) languages.

There are few spoken languages super-families : Well perhaps a day we find a super-giga-family of all those nice languages and a general relationship ???
 * Indo-european (spoken) languages in India, at west of China.
 * turkish, mongol,korean japanese (or uraloaltaic superfamily), at north, from turky to japan
 * Sino-tibetan in the middle (sinitic and tibeto-birman)
 * Austronesian in south-east (that come from east of china, near shanghai really long long time ago, and is not related to chinese languages at all.

For the writting :
 * korean hangeul could (I feel really probably) come from one mongol writing (phagpsa) used only during (mongolian) Yuan dynasty (~70 years) in china, that comme from tibetan writing, that comme from devargani. sout-east asian writting systems are for sure coming from indic ones.
 * All japanese writing and former vietnamese and korean ones come from chinese han writting system, that is independant writting system, no relationship with indic one or arabic one.
 * Traditionnal mongolian writing (mongol bitchig/ khalkha syllabic, that has no relationship with phagspa at all) come from uyghur, that come from sogdian (as written in this docuemnt), that probably come from arabian. there is probably some question abuot arabian/brahmi first one after protosinaitic ?, Don't know enough this part, studying this get me there). Manchu & Jurchen come from this traditional mongol writting system too.
 * http://www.proel.org/img/alfabetos/mapaorie.gif <= I suppose this map is the start of the erroneous (or at least really confusing) one => http://www.proel.org/img/alfabetos/mapaasia.gif

In the first map :
 * simple black arrow are like wind (vector gradiant) maps, of general tendences of displacement of languages.
 * Double black bordered arrows are indic writting moves.
 * Double dashed arrows are move from non-indic writting (uighour come from arabic (protosinaitic/egyptian/...), chinese is the origin of the second writting spread).

The final red arrow come probably from another student that didn't understood the fist map from other one and need to finish the final document the last day...Popolon (talk) 00:24, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

1995 United Kingdom local elections

The 1995 United Kingdom local elections took place on Thursday 6 April 1995 in Scotland, and Thursday 4 May 1995 in England and Wales. The Conservative Party lost over 2,000 councillors in the election, while the Labour Party won 48% of the vote, a record high for the party in local elections.

The elections were the first to be contested under Labour's new leadership of Tony Blair, who had been elected the previous year following the sudden death of his predecessor John Smith.

This was also the first election of 22 Welsh and 14 English unitary authorities, creating shadow authorities which ran in parallel with existing councils until taking power in April 1996, except for the new Isle of Wight Council which took power immediately.

Metropolitan boroughs
All 36 metropolitan borough councils had one third of their seats up for election.

Unitary authorities
These were the first elections to the first 14 unitary authorities established by the Local Government Commission for England (1992). They acted as "shadow authorities" until 1 April 1996.

‡ New ward boundaries from predecessor authorities

Whole council
In 167 districts the whole council was up for election.

These were the last elections to the district councils of Blackpool, Bournemouth, Bracknell Forest, Darlington, Leicester, Luton, Newbury, Nottingham, Plymouth, Poole, Rutland, The Wrekin, Torbay, Warrington and Windsor and Maidenhead before they were made unitary authorities by the Local Government Commission for England (1992).

These were also the last elections to the district councils of Hove and Rochester-upon-Medway before they were abolished and replaced by unitary authorities by the Local Government Commission for England (1992).

Third of council
In 107 districts one third of the council was up for election.

These were the last elections to the district councils of Derby, Milton Keynes, Portsmouth, Southampton, Stoke-on-Trent and Thamesdown before they were made unitary authorities by the Local Government Commission for England (1992).

These were also the last elections to the district council of Brighton before it was abolished and replaced by a unitary authority by the Local Government Commission for England (1992).

Scotland
These were the first elections to the 29 council areas established by the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994.

†Council was renamed shortly after election.

Wales
These were the first elections to the 22 principal areas established by the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994.

†Council was renamed shortly after election.

Pete Wylie

Peter James Wylie (born 22 March 1958) is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist, best known as the leader of the band variously known as Wah!, Wah! Heat, Shambeko! Say Wah!, JF Wah!, The Mighty Wah! and Wah! The Mongrel.

Early bands
Wylie was born on 22 March 1958 in Liverpool. He began his career in 1977 with lead vocalist Ian McCulloch and bassist Julian Cope, with whom he formed the band Crucial Three, which lasted from May to June the same year. Later that year, he performed as a member of the short-lived punk band Mystery Girls, who gave only one performance, supporting Sham 69 at Eric's Club in November 1977, and was composed of Pete Burns and Julian Cope. In December 1977, he joined The Spitfire Boys, who dissolved the same month. Wylie and two of the band, Pete Griffiths and Peter Clarke, formed the same month The Nova Mob, alongside Julian Cope. The band lasted until May 1978. In August, he joined established local band Crash Course (December 1977 – January 1979), on rhythm guitar and backing vocals, after seeing them supporting Big in Japan at the matinee of their farewell show at Eric's Club on 26 August. The revised Crash Course made their first live appearance at Manchester University on 13 October.

On 22 December 1978, a professional recording of the band performing at Eric's (a gig which included Echo and the Bunnymen) was made for a live EP, to be released on the club's own label, and to follow the Pink Military EP which had also been recorded there. Crash Course disbanded in late January 1979 and the record wasn't pressed (the tape subsequently lost). Also in January 1979, the band had recorded three tracks at Liverpool's MVCU demo studios: "Someone Different" (with which The Glass Torpedoes had a minor hit in mid-1979), "The Tears of a Clown" (the Smokey Robinson song), and "Look Now". Shortly after the band's demise, the three MVCU demo tracks were broadcast, in their unmixed form, on BBC radio's Phil Ross programme. One of the last compositions to be rehearsed by Crash Course was the semi instrumental "Heart Surgery". A version of this later appeared on the Glass Torpedoes EP.

Wah!
Active from 1979, Wylie and company garnered critical acclaim throughout 1980 for the singles "Better Scream" and "Seven Minutes to Midnight" (both as Wah! Heat), the latter being single of the week in the NME, Sounds and Melody Maker during spring 1980, as well as the 1981 Warner Bros. album ''Nah = Poo! – The Art of Bluff'' (as Wah!). Their biggest hit single was "The Story of the Blues", which was released in late 1982; it reached number 3 in the UK Singles Chart.

A follow-up single, "Hope (I Wish You'd Believe Me)" was released in 1983, but found limited success. Next, Wylie released an officially sanctioned "official bootleg" of new and old songs entitled The Maverick Years 1980–81 on his own label. Clad in a cover that alluded to the early 1970s "Trade Mark of Quality" bootlegs, the record appeared as a white label with a blank outer cover and a sheet attached with sleevenotes by music journalist Adam Sweeting. This release did not shore up Wylie's dwindling fortunes and Wah! were subsequently dropped by WEA. In 1984, the Mighty Wah! had a Top 20 hit with the song "Come Back" (as with "The Story of the Blues", the song was chosen by the BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, as his "single of the year").

The accompanying double album, recorded for Beggars' Banquet, was entitled A Word to the Wise Guy. It was critically acclaimed, but sold poorly and the band were again dropped. By 1986, having ditched his backing ensemble, Wylie had a solo hit with "Sinful!", which peaked at number 13 in the UK, ostensibly produced by Ian Ritchie, but with major input from Zeus B. Held. "Sinful!" became the title track of his 1987 solo album, which included the enigmatically titled "FourElevenFortyFour".

1990–present
In 1990, a single called "Imperfect List" was released under the project name of Big Hard Excellent Fish. The spoken-word track is a list of 64 least favourite people and things read by Wylie's then girlfriend and collaborator Josie Jones. The list was compiled by Wylie and the track was recorded by Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins, although Wylie is not credited on the record. The list ranges from "Adolf Hitler" to "Lost Keys".

In 1990, the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu released a limited edition (between 350 and 500 copies) white label version of "It's Grim Up North" featuring Wylie on vocals. This version was a club-only release. The main version was released in October 1991 with Bill Drummond on vocals, making the charts. Creative cracks had begun to appear by 1991, when the collaboration with the Farm on "Sinful! (Scary Jiggin' With Dr Love)" did little for either of the rival camps. In 1991, Wylie toured the UK in support of the Infamy! album with a band featuring Joe McKechnie on drums, Tony Jones on bass and Peter Baker on keyboards. On 11 November of that year, Wylie suffered a near fatal fall when a railing gave way in Upper Parliament Street, Liverpool. He fractured both his spine and his sternum. A long period of rehabilitation ensued.

Wylie began to write songs again and sent demos to David Balfe, formerly of the Teardrop Explodes, founder of Food Records and by that time general manager and Head of A&R of Sony's Columbia label. There were reports that Balfe was so impressed he quickly gave Wylie £750,000 to record the songs, which Wylie did in London and Memphis, delivering Songs of Strength and Heartbreak to a delighted Balfe in 1998.

Wylie quickly formed a new band line up recruiting Mike Joyce and a referral by band The Farm brought bass player Danny Lunt. The band relocated to London to record the new album Songs of Strength and Heartbreak at Abbey Road Studios with producers Mike Hedges and Peter Collins. The truth appears somewhat different as the album – despite being finished up to the point where artwork was finalised and discs had been sent out for review – was rejected by Sony, who chose not to release it. Subsequently, Wylie found himself in artistic limbo as Sony owned the rights to the music he had recorded as Songs of Strength and Heartbreak. He found it difficult to acquire the master tapes, and was without a recording contract. Eventually he was handed the master tapes, and Castle Records released the album.

Wylie's "Heart As Big As Liverpool" (1998) is popular within the city and especially with Liverpool Football Club supporters. It is used in the official Hillsborough tribute video, on a 2001 CD of Merseyside artists (compiled in collaboration with Liverpool Football Club) Mersey Boys and Liverpool Girls and features on Songs of Strength & Heartbreak, a 2000 album credited to The Mighty Wah! The song is also regularly played at Liverpool's home ground, Anfield. 2000 also heralded a compilation album entitled ''The Handy Wah! Whole''. Wylie joined Dead Men Walking, featuring Mike Peters of the Alarm, Kirk Brandon of Spear of Destiny and Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols. They toured extensively, performing old songs as well as new, including Wylie's "Your Mother Must Be Very Proud".

In 2003, Wylie's voice was featured on the Apollo 440 track "1234" from their album Dude Descending a Staircase. Following an invitation from Alejandro Escovedo, Wylie performed at the 2006 South by Southwest festival in the United States at Austin, Texas. His next project was a twin album release with the working titles Pete Sounds and SLiME, both puns on mid 1960s Beach Boys projects.

Wylie collaborated with Josie Jones, a singer from Merseyside. She was the vocalist on Wah's hit single "Come Back", and on some of Wylie's solo efforts, including "Sinful!", "Diamond Girl", and the spoken word vocals on the Big Hard Excellent Fish release "Imperfect List". Jones died in 2015.

For several years, Wylie expressed interest in releasing another record, as he had not made any "this century". In the autumn of 2017, Wylie released his first album of the 2010s, entitled Pete Sounds. It was made with donations via PledgeMusic, and then released on his own label.

Personal life
Wylie has a daughter called Mersey, who is also a musician. Her mother is an Australian.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Armangedon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Armangedon~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:12, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Sony Ericsson P990

The Sony Ericsson P990 is a mobile phone and the successor of the Sony Ericsson P910. The phone uses the UIQ 3 software platform, which is based on Symbian OS 9.1. During development, the phone was codenamed Hermione, after the Harry Potter character of the same name. It was introduced on 11 October 2005, but had a long delayed market release only in August 2006.

The P990 has a numeric keypad that flips open to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard below the display on the phone itself. This is a change from the P910, where the keyboard is on the flip. The flip itself can be attached or detached using the screw and screwdriver found in the box. The phone is a UMTS (3G) and tri-band GSM phone supporting video calls through its front VGA camera. The touchscreen displays 262,114 colours (18-bit colour depth) with a resolution of 240x320 pixels. It also comes with a 2.0 megapixel camera featuring autofocus and an FM/RDS radio. The P990 runs the Nexperia PNX4008 ARM9 208 MHz processor from Philips, which also includes a PowerVR MBX GPU. The screen, despite having a smaller length (2.8 inch) than its predecessors, is actually larger in area because of the increased resolution. The phone also improves over the P910 by including support for Wi-Fi, allowing users to connect to 802.11b wireless networks. Users can browse the Web using the built-in Opera browser. Additional features include RSS feeds, online video streaming, Java ME support, and handwriting recognition.

Image copyright problem RE: Image:2005-0208dwarf-full.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:2005-0208dwarf-full.jpg. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law. We need you to specify two things on the image description page:
 * The copyright holder, and
 * The copyright status

The copyright holder is usually the creator. If the creator was paid to make this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder.

Because of the large number of images on Wikipedia, we've sorted them using image copyright tags. Just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image, and paste it onto the image description page like this:.

There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:
 * An open content licence
 * Public Domain
 * Fair Use

 * The copyright holder gets the best protection of his work by licencing their work under an open content license like the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence. If you have the express permission of the copyright holder to licence their work under the above licence, use the image copyright tag: cc-by-sa-2.5.  The GNU Free Documentation License is another choice for licencing one's work.  Again, if you have the express permission of the copyright holder, use the tag: GFDL.

 * The copyright holder can also release his work into the public domain, see here for images released into the public domain.

 * Images from certain sources are automatically release into the Public Domain. This is true for most governments like the federal United States government. (See   here  for images from the government of the USA and here for other governments)  However not all governments release their work into the public domain, such as the UK government (See here for images from the UK government).  Non-free licence governments are listed here.

 * Also, in some cases, an image is copyrighted but allowed on Wikipedia because of Fair Use. To see if this image qualifies and then how to tag it, see Fair use.

For any other sources of for more information see Image copyright tags. Please remember that if you don't tag your images, they will be deleted.

 * P.S. If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them.  Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future.

If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again. Thue | talk 19:13, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Snowcap

The snowcap (Microchera albocoronata) is a species of hummingbird in the "emeralds", tribe Trochilini of subfamily Trochilinae. It is found in Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama.

Taxonomy and systematics
The snowcap has two subspecies, the nominate M. a. albocoronata and M. a. parvirostris. The nominate was originally described as Mellisuga albo-coronata and the other as Panychlora parvirostris.

Description
The snowcap is 6.5 to 7 cm long and weighs about 2.7 g. Both sexes of both subspecies have a short black bill and black legs. Adult males of both subspecies have the white forehead and crown that give this species its English and scientific names. Males of the nominate subspecies have dark purple upperparts with a purplish black nape and a reddish gloss on the back, rump, and uppertail coverts. Their face and underparts are black with a reddish purple gloss. Their central tail feathers are metallic bronze and the rest have white bases and black ends. Males of M. a. parvirostris differ by having less white on the tail feathers and a brighter coppery purple gloss to their upper- and underparts. Adult females of both subspecies have a metallic green back with bronze uppertail coverts. Their underparts are pale grayish white. Their central tail feathers are bronze and the outer ones mostly black with white at the base and on the tips. Immature males are like the adult female with the addition of a narrow white line above the eye and a gradual change of the whitish underparts to purplish black.

Distribution and habitat
Subspecies M. a. parvirostris is the more northerly and widely distributed of the two. It is found on the Caribbean slope of Central America from southern Honduras through Nicaragua and Costa Rica and possibly into western Panama; it also occurs locally on Costa Rica's Pacific slope. The nominate M. a. albocoronata is found on the Caribbean and Pacific slopes of western Panama. The species inhabits humid lowland and montane forest, semi-open woodlands, and secondary forest. It is more common at openings in the forest and more open landscapes such as plantations than deep in the forest. In Costa Rica it breeds mostly at elevations between 300 and 800 m but locally as high as 1000 m. In Panama it is found between 600 and 1650 m.

Movement
In Costa Rica, snowcaps mostly descend to lower elevations after breeding but a few individuals wander higher than their breeding zone to about 1400 m.

Feeding
Snowcaps forage for nectar at all heights of their habitat, from the understory to the canopy. Males defend feeding territories from other snowcaps but defer to larger hummingbirds. They typically take nectar from small flowers of epiphytes, shrubs, vines, and trees. In addition to feeding on nectar, snowcaps glean arthropods from foliage, and males take small insects by hawking from a perch.

Breeding
In Costa Rica snowcaps breed between January and May; their season elsewhere has not been defined. Males court females at leks in loose groups of up to six, singing from a perch and chasing other males. Females build a small cup nest of tree fern scales and plant down bound with spiderweb, with some moss and lichen on the outside. It is typically placed on a twig or dangling vine between 1.7 and 3 m above the ground. The clutch size is two eggs; the incubation period and time to fledging are not known.

Vocalization
The male snowcap's song is "a soft, sputtering, warbling melody: tsitsup tsitsup tsitsup tsew ttttt-tsew or tsip-tsee tsippy tsippy tsippy tsip-tick tsew." One call is "a soft, high-pitched, dry tsip", and it makes "buzzy notes and chatters in aggressive interactions".

Status
The IUCN has assessed the snowcap as being of Least Concern, though its population size is not known and is believed to be decreasing. No immediate threats have been identified by the IUCN. In Costa Rica it is locally common, but "severe deforestation threatens many parts of its range".

Microchera

Microchera is a genus of hummingbirds.

Species
The genus includes three species:

The white-tailed emerald and the coppery-headed emerald were formerly placed in the genus Elvira. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that these two species were closely related to the snowcap in the genus Microchera. The three species were therefore placed together in Microchera which has priority.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Kiatgak. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Kiatgak~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:08, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Somebody Put Something in My Drink

"Somebody Put Something in My Drink" is a song by the Ramones from their 1986 album Animal Boy. The song also appears on the Ramones compilation album Ramones Mania. Written by Ramones drummer Richie Ramone, who had joined the band in 1983, "Somebody Put Something in My Drink" was based on an actual incident in which he was given a drink spiked with LSD.

This song has been covered by Children of Bodom, The Meteors, Plan 4, Nosferatu, Mortifer, Farben Lehre, Acid Drinkers, Reincidentes, The Gobshites and The Beasts. Australian band Tequila Mockingbyrd included a cover on their album Fight And Flight. Pop-punk band Spazboy recorded the song for the 2001 tribute album, Ramones Maniacs. Greek punk group Panx Romana recorded the song with altered lyrics in their native language. The song is also a staple in performances of the Raleigh area band “Shaken & Stirred”.

A music video for this song was filmed, but for financial reasons, never completed and released. However, a rough cut of the track can be found on the ''Ramones: It's Alive! 1974–1996'' DVD. This version was performed without Richie Ramone. The song was featured in the 1987 movie Like Father Like Son with Dudley Moore, Kirk Cameron, and Sean Astin as well as Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever.

Richie Ramone recorded a version of the song for his 2013 solo album Entitled, which only appeared on the vinyl version of the album.

Matthew Emmons

Matthew D. Emmons (born April 5, 1981) is an American rifle shooter. He competed in various events at the 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 Olympics and won a gold, a silver, and a bronze medal.

Since 2020 he has been the shooting coach of the Czech biathlon team.

Career
Emmons started out as a successful junior and has been a holder of the junior world record in 50 metre rifle three positions. He won both the 2002 ISSF World Cup Final and the 2004 ISSF World Cup Final in this event.

He was also successful in the 50 metre rifle prone, winning both the 2002 ISSF World Shooting Championships and the 2004 Summer Olympics in this event. In Athens, he was very close to winning a historic double, but in the three positions competition, he accidentally cross-fired his last shot and finished eighth.

Emmons's gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in the prone position came while using a borrowed rifle. In April 2004, just prior to the Olympic Team Trials, Emmons discovered his rifle had been severely sabotaged in the supposedly secure locker room at the United States Olympic Training Center. The precisely tuned barrel and action were heavily damaged by what appeared to be a screwdriver. "I unpacked my gun and I noticed that something wasn't right," Emmons said. "Sure enough, somebody had done something to it. I shot it and I couldn't get the shell out. I said, 'Something's wrong here'." Emmons said it could not have been an accident: "Oh no, no," Emmons said. "Somebody took a screwdriver and went in." Emmons went on to the 2004 Summer Olympics, and his gold medal in the prone position event, using his former University of Alaska Fairbanks teammate, Amber Darland's .22 rifle. He never found out who the saboteur was, but said "I'd like to know so I could shake their hand and say thanks."

At the 2008 Summer Olympics, Emmons won the silver medal in the prone competition. In his second event, 50 metre rifle three positions, Emmons finished the qualification round in second place, 1 point behind the leader. In the ten-shot final, Emmons overtook the leader after just the first shot. Over the next eight shots, Emmons extended his lead to 3.3 points. Then his 3.3 point lead vanished when he posted a 4.4 on his final shot. He finished off the podium in 4th place.

Emmons called the last shot a "freak of nature". "The way I come into a target is I start above the target and come down from 12 o'clock and get into the bullseye", he told reporters. "And as I get down into the bullseye is when I start to get on the trigger (with my finger) and as I was starting to get on the trigger, the gun just went off. I guess I just set it off. I got on the trigger a little too hard. I didn't feel my trigger finger shaking but I guess it was. It just hit the trigger, the gun went off and I was like 'uh, that's not going to be good – I hope it hit the black'. It hit the black, but a little high".

At the 2012 Summer Olympics, Emmons won the bronze medal in the three positions. He placed 19th in this event at the 2016 Games.

Personal life
Emmons has been a resident of Pemberton Township, New Jersey. He holds a degree in management and finance from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and is a graduate at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, Colorado Springs.

Emmons married Czech sport shooter and Olympic champion Kateřina Kůrková in Plzeň, Czech Republic, on June 30, 2007. They met at the 2004 Olympics in Athens when Kateřina came to console Matt after his gold medal blunder. They both live and train in Plzeň. They have four children, Julie (born 2009), Emma (born 2015), Martin and Gabriela. Emmons was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2010.

Post horn

The post horn is a valveless cylindrical brass instrument with a cupped mouthpiece. The instrument was used to signal the arrival or departure of a post rider or mail coach. It was used by postilions of the 18th and 19th centuries.

Use and construction
The post horn is sometimes confused with the coach horn, and even though the two types of horn served the same principal purpose, they differ in their physical appearance. The post horn has a cylindrical bore and was generally used on a coach pulled by two horses (technically referred to as "Tonga"); hence, it is sometimes also called the Tonga horn. The coach horn, on the other hand, has a conical bore and was used on a coach pulled by four horses (referred to as a "four-in-hand"). The post horn is no more than 32 in in length, whereas the coach horn can be up to 36 in long. The latter has more of a funnel-shaped bell, while the former's bell is trumpet-shaped. Post horns need not be straight but can be coiled—they have a smaller bore—and they are made entirely of brass. A post horn will have a slide for tuning if intended for orchestral settings.

The instrument is an example of a buisine, a precursor to the "natural" trumpet. The cornet was developed from the cone-shaped coach horn through the addition of valves, while the cylinder-shaped trumpets remained predominantly valveless for several decades.

Beer's Concerto
In the late 17th century, Johann Beer composed a Concerto à 4 in B♭, which paired a post horn with a corne de chasse as the two solo instruments, accompanied by violins and basso continuo.

Mozart's Posthorn Serenade
Mozart composed his Serenade No. 9, the "Post horn Serenade", in 1779. The second trio of the 6th movement, the Menuetto, features a solo of the posthorn.

Mahler and others
Mahler and others incorporated the post horn into their orchestras for certain pieces. On such occasions, the orchestra's trumpet player usually performs with the instrument. One example of post horn use in modern classical music is the famous off-stage solo in Mahler's Third Symphony. Due to the scarcity of this instrument, however, music written for it is usually played on a trumpet, cornet or flugelhorn.

Post Horn Galop
In 1844, the German cornet player Hermann Koenig wrote Post Horn Galop as a solo for post horn with an orchestral accompaniment. In the 20th century it became a popular piece for brass bands. It has been the walk-on music for the Leicester City Football Club since 1935.

Compositions for other instruments imitating a post horn
An imitation of the post horn's fanfare was a commonly used in music describing, or referring to, the post coach or travel in general. Notable musical examples include Bach's Capriccio on the departure of a beloved brother, which includes an "Aria di postiglione" and a "Fuga all'imitazione della cornetta di postiglione", both containing an octave jump similar to that of the postal horn.

Handel's Belshazzar includes in the second act a "Sinofonia" that uses a similar motif (subtitled Allegro postilions) depicting Belshazzar's messengers leaving on a mission. A very similar movement is included in the third "Production" of Telemann's Tafelmusik. Beethoven's Les adieux piano sonata is centered on a horn-like motif, again signifying the departure of a loved-one. Schubert's Winterreise includes the song "Die Post", of which the piano part prominently features a horn signal motif.

Other uses
During World War I, in Austria-Hungary and Germany, wooden post horns were used as a means of collecting war donations via a method called the Nail Men. People would donate money, and in exchange be allowed to hammer a nail into the horn until the horn was completely covered.

The post horn as graphical symbol

Until 2002, the Finnish Postal and Telegraph Administration (Posti- ja lennätinhallitus) and its successors also featured a postal horn in their logos. The logo from 1987 onwards had a single symbol combining the postal horn and telegraph symbols.

Post horns in road signs
In Italy the post horn was featured on a sign called Obbligo di arresto all'incrocio con autobus di linea su strade di montagna ("Stop when encountering coaches on mountain roads"). Installed along winding, narrow mountain roads, the sign indicated that motorists should yield to incoming coaches, and let them pass safely. This sign was removed from the Italian Road Code in 1992.

Nicolas Sarkozy
archives for earlier nominations: 1

The problems of the preceding nomination should now be fixed. David.Monniaux 07:58, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * support All my preceeding comments have been correctly addressed. The article is now comprehensive and as far as I can judge well written. Vb 12:20, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Object:
 * The image Image:Nicolas Sarkozy.jpg is claimed as "fair use", but has no source or fair use rationale.
 * The image Image:Sarkozy raffarin police2.jpg is not public domain, it's under simple copyright, and should not have been uploaded.

 * Comments The second image is provided by the services of the prime minister and is free to use for any purpose; I do not understand why you tagged it as a "copyright violation". The first image has a source, as written in the image's history: the photographic library of the European Commission. David.Monniaux 07:34, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The second image appears to be by "David Mendiboure" of the "Matignon Photo Service", which doesn't sound too terribly much like the Prime Minister's office to me. --Carnildo 07:41, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Carnildo, if you cared to do the slightest research (such as for instance checking Matignon on Wikipedia...), you would know that Matignon in the palace where the French Prime Minister's office are located, and a general collocution for the Prime Ministry. Rama 08:02, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, but wait, the disambiguation page Matignon has only existed for what... a year and a half? notafish }<';> 08:06, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I replaced the first image by a photo from an UMP press release (Nicolas Sarkozy is the head of UMP). This surely qualifies under fair use. David.Monniaux 08:43, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Support Comprehensive and well-written. An excellent English source of information about Sarkozy. Demi T/C 17:41, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I can't support this yet. It's not badly written in some ways, but there's an odd awkwardness about much of the prose. Here are some examples:
 * 'Previously, he was a deputy to the French National Assembly. He was forced to resign this position in favour of his ministerial appointment.' —'in', not 'to'? 'in favour of' is not quite idiomatic here ('to take up a ministerial ...').
 * 'He often is nicknamed Sarko'—that would have occurred once, not often. And the adverb is in the wrong place, anyway.
 * 'simply known as Nicolas Sarkozy'—word order is wrong.
 * 'is active in a wide range of political fields'—'Fields' is not quite right—research fields, yes, but not political.
 * 'He previously also held several ministerial posts'—remove 'also', and go through the whole text and remove this word where possible.
 * 'His ministerial responsibilities include law enforcement and working to co-ordinate relationships between the national and local governments'—'Include' means that there are other responsibilities you're not telling us about (which may be the case, but check this). 'and the coordination of the relationships between national and local governments' is what you want.

Now, I've exemplified a few things at the opening. They're subtle, but need to be fixed throughout. A native speaker is required to sift through the article. (I'm not being rude, just practical; there's a lot to commend the article.) Tony 15:00, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
