Category:G.I. Joe
Hi. Since Category:G.I. Joe characters is already a subcategory of Category:G.I. Joe, there's no need to include articles in both categories. The practice here is to include articles that belong in the subcategory only in the subcategory, otherwise it's redundant. Cheers! BD2412 talk 23:17, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Joe Template
Hi Destron

Could you please edit your Joe Template to include the new page I created on G.I. Joe: America's movable fighting man, covering the 1964-69 releases.

Thanks!!

Web-screenshot tag
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. I've noticed you've uploaded some images tagged with web-screenshot. This tag is not meant to be used for images that came from Web pages; it's meant to be used for images of Web pages (such as Image:Google screenshot.png, for example). I've retagged the images below as having no license information. Please make sure that Wikipedia has permission to use these images. Then edit the image description pages to include information about the licenses these images are under. You may find an appropriate tag at Image copyright tags or Template messages, or if none of these fit you may write a description of the license yourself. You may want to refer to the image use policy. If the use of this image on Wikipedia is a copyright violation, please follow the steps at Images and media for deletion to nominate this image to be deleted. If you have any questions, please feel free to post a message on my talk page. —Bkell 17:28, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Image:Destro.jpg
 * Image:Gijoesigma6.jpg
 * Image:Hawkgijoe.jpg
 * Thanks for revisiting these image description pages, but "edited Web screenshot" and "edited image" don't give any information about the source or copyright status of these images. Wikipedia cannot use copyrighted images without the permission of the copyright holder, except when the use of such images falls under "fair use" (read the fair use article for more information). We must establish, for every image on Wikipedia, that the use of this image in Wikipedia articles is legal under United States copyright law. This is the purpose of all those image copyright tags.
 * You need to go back to these images and, for each one, clearly state the original source and choose an appropriate image copyright tag that accurately describes the license the image is being used under. If we cannot establish the original source and license that allows an image to be used on Wikipedia, we must unfortunately delete the image to avoid violating U.S. copyright law.
 * Again, if you have any questions about all this, or would like some help in determining which copyright tag to use, please post a message on my talk page. —Bkell 08:07, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Hello again. I see you've changed the tags on these images back to web-screenshot. Now we're back where we started. The problem with the web-screenshot tag on these images is that they are not images of Web pages. They are pictures of G.I. Joe characters, not Web pages. So the web-screenshot tag does not apply to these images and cannot justify their use on Wikipedia.
 * We must have source and license information for all images on Wikipedia. This is not just some annoying Wikipedia policy; we need this information because we must comply with United States laws. I see you have included source information for Image:Destro.jpg, but the other two have no information at all about where they came from. And none of these three has any justification for why their use on Wikipedia is legal under United States copyright law. Please find out if these images can legally be used on Wikipedia by contacting the copyright holder. If the copyright holder gives this permission, then you need to look through the list of image copyright tags and select the appropriate tag from this list (if none of them fit quite right, choose the nearest approximation and then give more details in a paragraph below the tag). If we do not have permission from the copyright holder to use this image, then we must delete it, unless it happens to satisfy the four requirements necessary to qualify as fair use. In this case, you can choose one of the fair use tags to use on the image description page. If it turns out that the use of these images is a copyright violation, then you can follow the steps at Images and media for deletion to nominate them to be deleted.
 * Please spend some time fixing these problems. If I can be of any help to you, post a message on my talk page. —Bkell 18:28, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Image:Destro.jpg looks fine now. It has a source and a copyright tag that makes sense. However, the other two images, Image:Gijoesigma6.jpg and Image:Hawkgijoe.jpg, are still missing source information. If you got them from a Web page, the address of the Web page would be all that's needed. Sorry to keep bothering you like this, but we really need this information. —Bkell 05:28, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Before you continue creating more articles on seasons of 24, please check that what you are writing is not already well-covered at 24 (television), as otherwise your pages may be deleted or merged and your work wasted.

Image copyright problem with Image:Joes2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Joes2.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 23:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: You forgot Cover Girl
I got your message. I was a big fan of GIJOE and I notice that you did not complete listing of characters. I have seen Cover Girl often in comic books and cartoon. I am talking about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Joe:_A_Real_American_Hero and I wonder if you have fix this connecting to catorgy GIJOE that has complete listing of characters? I put "more information...." under your character list. Have you read his message? ""Category:G.I. Joe Hi. Since Category:G.I. Joe characters is already a subcategory of Category:G.I.

Admin actions
Hi Destron. I just had an Admin (Coredesat) wipe out my entire Action Man wiki page, on the grounds that it was too promotional... he didn't use the discussion page, or explain what he felt was 'promotional'.. have you ever run into anything like this? I reverted to an earlier edit, but I'm assuming he'll do it again. What recourse do we have? Can I complain to someone? It does not seem right.... Hholland 15:39, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Gijoesigma6.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Gijoesigma6.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 10:58, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Joe Wiki Banners
Hey Destron Commander, is there anyway you can fix the picture placement on the Joe Wiki banner? It looks like it's glitched because the picture hides some of the text. I was gonna pull it off the Larry Hama page, but I see you've put them everywhere.

Thanks! Everyone understands the knife. (talk) 17:25, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:JoeWiki.PNG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:JoeWiki.PNG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

This image primarily consists of logos copied from GI Joe packaging, making it non-free. You labeled it as being under the GNU Free Documentation License, which is not the case. Non-free images like this cannot be used in templates such as JoeWiki. So I went and changed JoeWiki to use text instead.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 19:59, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Allstarlogo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Allstarlogo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 06:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Stella Bonasera
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Stella Bonasera, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of Stella Bonasera.

Speedy deletion of Image:Serpentor.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Serpentor.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free image with no fair use rationale uploaded after May 4, 2006 which has been tagged as not having a rationale for more than 7 days.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on |the article's talk page 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.

Thanks for uploading Image:KFC sg.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

License tagging for File:Macau Tower Center.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Macau Tower Center.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 11:05, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Iron Grenadiers

The article Iron Grenadiers has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: "No indication this toy line related to a fictional military organization (from a game/action product series) passes WP:NFICTION/WP:GNG. Pure WP:PLOT+WP:OR."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Stow Longa

Stow Longa is a village and civil parish in Cambridgeshire, England. Stow Longa lies approximately 8 mi west of Huntingdon and two miles north of Kimbolton. Stow Longa is situated within Huntingdonshire which is a non-metropolitan district of Cambridgeshire as well as being a historic county of England.

Stow Longa's original name was Stow or Long Stow, which comes from the Old English word stōw (meaning 'holy place') and the Latin word longa or Old English lang (meaning 'long'). Altogether, Stow Longa's name may mean 'the long holy place' or 'an extended settlement which is a holy place', though this is only a rough guess.

Stow was also thought to have been the name of the pre-Conquest estate, which, in the medieval period, was split between two parishes: one, Over Stow or Upper Stow, the western part, which belonged to the Kimbolton parish, and the other, Estou (also Nether Stow or Long Stow), the eastern part, which was part of the soke of Spaldwick.

Mistakenly described as a hamlet, it has the suitable number of houses and businesses to make it a village. Stow Longa is a village that is still void of any street lamps, village shops, a school or a public house. Sewer drainage came to the village in 2009. However, Stow Longa does possess several thatched cottages, a village room, a blocked-up well (on the village green), a stone cross (discussed below) and mature elm trees that survived the Dutch elm disease crisis.

RAF Kimbolton was opened as a bomber airfield on the southern edge of the village in 1941, and was operated by the USAAF from 1942 to 1945.

According to a locally published collection of short stories, 'Ploughing Songs' by Damian Croft, the reason why the public houses that were in Stow Longa were closed down in the 1950s was because, "returning drovers used it to give a bad name to a few otherwise nameless women."

Early history
Before it was transferred to the Spaldwick parish in AD 991, the Stow estate had belonged to Brithnoth, Ealdorman of Essex, who died at the Battle of Maldon in AD 991. Brithnoth left his two estates, Spaldwick and Somersham, to the Abbot of Ely.

Government
For Stow Longa the highest tier of local government is Cambridgeshire County Council. Stow Longa is part of the electoral division of Sawtry and Ellington, and is represented on the county council by one councillor. The second tier of local government is Huntingdonshire District Council, a non-metropolitan district of Cambridgeshire. Stow Longa is a part of the district ward of Ellington and is represented on the district council by one councillor. As a civil parish, Stow Longa has a parish council.

On 1 April 1955 the parish was renamed from "Stow" to "Stow Longa". Stow Longa was in the historic and administrative county of Huntingdonshire until 1965. From 1965, the village was part of the new administrative county of Huntingdon and Peterborough. Then in 1974, following the Local Government Act 1972, Stow Longa became a part of the county of Cambridgeshire.

At Westminster Stow Longa is in the parliamentary constituency of North West Cambridgeshire, and has been represented since 2005 in the House of Commons by Shailesh Vara (Conservative).

Population
In the period 1801 to 1901 the population of Stow Longa was recorded every ten years by the UK census. During this time the population was in the range of 96 (the lowest was in 1901) and 263 (the highest was in 1841).

From 1901, a census was taken every ten years with the exception of 1941 (due to the Second World War).

All population census figures from report Historic Census figures Cambridgeshire to 2011 by Cambridgeshire Insight.

In 2011, the parish covered an area of 1021 acre and the population density of Stow Longa in 2011 was 90.3 persons per square mile (34.9 per square kilometre).

Stow Longa's church

The Anglican church of Stow Longa is known as St Botolph's, since it is dedicated to St Botolph, which dates to the 13th century, though a stone slab with inter-laced works (probably pre-Conquest) on the south-side indicates an earlier date.

Though peaceful and fairly hidden today, the church in Stow Longa has had a remarkable history. Stow Longa was confirmed a prebend by Pope Eugene III on 6 February 1146, and again by Pope Alexander III on 5 January 1163. A minster or mother-church of the local estate (which included Stow Longa, Spaldwick, Easton, Little Catworth, Barham and Upthorpe) before its importance was subsumed by Spaldwick and Kimbolton, St Botolph's wealth and importance attracted noted figures to the prebendary, such as Thomas Wolsey, who was Stow Longa's prebend from 1509 to 1514.

Above the priest door, outside the east side of the church, is the nationally important stone carving known as the Mermaid Stone (or the Beckoning Mermaid Stone), since the engraving displays a mermaid between two creatures. According to one source, the creature on the right of the mermaid represents the crocodile (a creature of damnation) and the creature on the left of the mermaid, though on our right, represents the lamb, i.e. the Lamb of God (Jesus Christ). An alternative interpretation of the Mermaid Stone could be:

 * Sins – the mermaid represents the sin of lust, whilst going in the direction of the beast on her right (representing hell) and turning her back against the beast on her left (representing the Kingdom of God).
 * Anti-Paganism – even though this interpretation has no real backup, the Mermaid Stone may represent (based on the fact that a stream passes by the church) the struggle between Goddess worship (who may be either a river deity or whose attributes are scorned as lustful) – going towards Hell and leaving Christ – and the emerging Christian religion.

The village green cross
The common misinterpretation of the cross is that it was a marker point of where the coffin of Catherine of Aragon rested, after she died at nearby Kimbolton Castle: actually, the cross is Medieval and pre-dates its supposed use.

Talk:Timeline of the Toledo Strip

Untitled
Should this article be merged with Toledo War?--Inonit 20:29, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I don't agree they should be merged in entirety, though there is some overlap and this article would probably be better named as "Timeline of the Toledo War" or something similar. I think it is valuable to have the detailed timeline as well as a general article about the dispute. I could see renaming this article and then making Toledo Strip redirect to Toledo War (or swap the positions, either way). older≠wiser 02:25, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

 * If we view 32k as a guideline for maximum article size, we could fit 'em both in one article (even without removing duplication). The timeline is I think invaluable ... what do you think of having the summary article be followed by the timeline, i.e., write a shorter article and then have a section entitled "Chronology" or something like that?  I haven't tried to do any writing yet, so I haven't checked how much duplication there is, whether Toledo War could be expanded usefully with information from the chronology (I suspect it could), etc.  I'm skeptical about having a separate article for the chronology, as "chronology of the Toledo War" isn't really a meaningful subject ("Toledo War" is the subject).  Not sure how clear I'm being, but doing my best.  Anyway, the chronology is so good that its cursory mention on Toledo War doesn't seem to do it justice, and readers might miss it.--Inonit 02:48, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

 * When I first came across these, my first inclination was to merge them. There's a lot I like about both articles. It's not so much the actual size in KB that I'm concerned about, it's more the sheer length of the chronology -- there's a lot of scrolling involved to get through the whole thing. It's been quite a while since I've looked closely at either though--there's probably room for improvement. I'm leery of of a straight up merge though. older≠wiser 03:16, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Summary style has a structure that seems to make sense -- structure the main article like Toledo War and have the "For more details, see ..." template at the top of a Chronology section. Then we do a brief chronology (maybe in paragraph rather than list form) and send people to the other page for more detail.  What do you think of that idea?--Inonit 13:09, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I like this as a separate page versus merging it with the Toledo War article.::::: --EMU CPA 19:58, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

 * As the article currently stands, wouldn't the timeline be more suited to a subarticle of the "Toledo War" such as "Chronology of the Toledo War"? The article "Toledo Strip" should describe the actual strip, and currently, I think it's only clearly defined in the first sentence. My proposal would be to take the timeline here, and use it as a subarticle "Chronology", summarizing the information contained in it in both the "Toledo Strip" and "Toledo War" articles. Hotstreets 02:54, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Proposal for Move/Redirect
(replacing my earlier comment) How about have the majority of the "Toledo Strip" (the timeline specifically) article be moved to a separate "Timeline of the Toledo War" article and then have Toledo Strip redirect to Toledo War. The information that doesn't fit the timeline can be merged into the Toledo War article. In my opinion, the Toledo Strip and Toledo War are one and the same. The "creation" of the strip is already mentioned and described in the Toledo War article, and most of the information in this article outside of the timeline is already in the Toledo War article as well. If nobody objects, I think I'll do this... Hotstreets 16:59, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Who I am
I am Ray Burns, a son of God.

Secular history
Born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, USA. Learned to solder at age 6. Built computer of my own design (including CPU) at age 12. Perfect or near-perfect scores on all standardized tests throughout grade school. GATE student. Recognized statewide and nationally for mathematical skills at age 12. Completed calculus at age 13. Top computer student at University High School. Entered college at age 14. Achieved Masters degree with perfect GPA.

I was proud as a peacock, and just about as vain. I "knew" I was smarter than anyone around me and scorned anyone who disagreed with my opinion. Fortunately I met someone a thousand times smarter than I was...

Religious history
When I was young I was certain that God was a figment of man's imagination. But I was wrong. I taught atheism to all around me who would listen. I argued from science and philosophy that the concept of God was a man-made idea to enslave others. I scorned any form of miracle or spiritual experience as the product of a weak mind.

Then I discovered that I was wrong. It is quite a story, and I hope to tell it here someday. Suffice it to say that I now know for certain that God is not a figment of man's imagination but is absolutely real. I know that Jesus Christ is real, that the miracles he did were real, and that he paid the price for my sin. I know that the Holy Ghost is real and He speaks to me every day. I know that I have a Father in heaven.

I was baptized and served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in lieu of the last semester of my Masters' degree, then returned and completed the degree, married a beautiful woman, and now have three wonderful children.

In case you're wondering the person who is a thousand times smarter than me, it is none other than the creator of the universe himself. I now have a personal relationship with him and love him and serve him to the best of my ability. (Actually, maybe make that a million or a billion times smarter than me.)

Interests
Almost everything interests me. My primary hobbies are music, computers/electronics, and religion. I also very much enjoy auto mechanics, construction, mining, physics, hiking, and general reading.

I sing tenor or alto in solos, quartets, and choirs, and am much in demand. I play piano well, and cello tolerably. In the past I have also played trombone and drums, and have tried playing most other instruments. I enjoy playing both jazz and classical piano, and have an unusual talent for "playing by ear". I also dabble in songwriting and arranging.

In the computer field my primary interest is computer languages, though I am very much a generalist. I enjoy everything from circuit design to networking to software development. The coolest computer/electronics work I have done so far was a project I lead in 1996-1999 to automate mine haul trucks (we replaced the driver with a computer).

Termination factor

In molecular biology, a termination factor is a protein that mediates the termination of RNA transcription by recognizing a transcription terminator and causing the release of the newly made mRNA. This is part of the process that regulates the transcription of RNA to preserve gene expression integrity and are present in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, although the process in bacteria is more widely understood. The most extensively studied and detailed transcriptional termination factor is the Rho (ρ) protein of E. coli.

Prokaryotic
Prokaryotes use one type of RNA polymerase, transcribing mRNAs that code for more than one type of protein. Transcription, translation and mRNA degradation all happen simultaneously. Transcription termination is essential to define boundaries in transcriptional units, a function necessary to maintain the integrity of the strands and provide quality control. Termination in E. coli may be Rho dependent, utilizing Rho factor, or Rho independent, also known as intrinsic termination. Although most operons in DNA are Rho independent, Rho dependent termination is also essential to maintain correct transcription.

ρ factor The Rho protein is an RNA translocase that recognizes a cytosine-rich region of the elongating mRNA, but the exact features of the recognized sequences and how the cleaving takes place remain unknown. Rho forms a ring-shaped hexamer and advances along the mRNA, hydrolyzing ATP toward RNA polymerase (5' to 3' with respect to the mRNA). When the Rho protein reaches the RNA polymerase complex, transcription is terminated by dissociation of the RNA polymerase from the DNA. The structure and activity of the Rho protein is similar to that of the F1 subunit of ATP synthase, supporting the theory that the two share an evolutionary link.

Rho factor is widely present in different bacterial sequences and is responsible for the genetic polarity in E. coli. It works as a sensor of translational status, inhibiting non-productive transcriptions, suppressing antisense transcriptions and resolving conflicts that happen between transcription and replication. The process of termination by Rho factor is regulated by attenuation and antitermination mechanisms, competing with elongation factors for overlapping utilization sites (ruts and nuts), and depends on how fast Rho can move during the transcription to catch up with the RNA polymerase and activate the termination process.

Inhibition of Rho dependent termination by bicyclomycin is used to treat bacterial infections. The use of this mechanism along with other classes of antibiotics is being studied as a way to address antibiotic resistance, by suppressing the protective factors in RNA transcription while working in synergy with other inhibitors of gene expression such as tetracycline or rifampicin.

Eukaryotic
The process of transcriptional termination is less understood in eukaryotes, which have extensive post-transcriptional RNA processing, and each of the three types of eukaryotic RNA polymerase have a different termination system.

In RNA polymerase I, Transcription termination factor, RNA polymerase I binds downstream of the pre-rRNA coding regions, causing the dissociation of the RNA polymerase from the template and the release of the new RNA strand.

In RNA polymerase II, the termination occurs via a polyadenylation/cleaving complex. The 3' tail on the ending of the strand is bound at the polyadenylation site, but the strand will continue to code. The newly synthesised ribonucleotides are removed one at a time by the cleavage factors CSTF and CPSF, in a process that is still not fully understood. The remainder of the strand is disengaged by a 5′-exonuclease when the transcription is finished.

RNA polymerase III terminates after a series of uracil polymerization residues in the transcribed mRNA. Unlike in bacteria and in polymerase I, the termination RNA hairpin needs to be upstream to allow for correct cleaving.

Talk:Michigan Legislature

Untitled
The Michigan Constitution requires the legislature to be in session no less than 90 times per year. As mentioned in the article, there is otherwise no defined length of a session. This means that sessions of less than one hour comply with the constitutional definition of a "session". Herein lies one of Unicameral Michigan's arguments. With some sessions indeed lasting less than an hour and almost all less than three hours, the Michigan legislature is already part time but receives full time pay. It is rare when legislators are in Lansing more than three days per session week.

The issue of unicameralism as a solution to the inefficient and costly government in Michigan remains a topic of public discussion. The groundwork laid by Unicameral Michigan is waiting for another citizen activist group to emerge and take on the challenge of putting the unicameral issue before the voters of Michigan.

Al-Basasiri

Abuʾl-Ḥārith Arslān al-Muẓaffar al-Basāsīrī (died 15 January 1059) was a Turkoman slave-soldier (mamlūk) who rose to become a military commander of the Buwayhid dynasty in Iraq. When the Buwayhids were ousted by the Seljuks in 1055, he transferred his allegiance to the Fatimid Caliphate of Egypt, in whose name he conquered Baghdad, which he ruled for almost a year.

Early years
The name al-Basāsīrī (or al-Fasāsīrī, al-Fasāwī) is a nisba derived from his first owner's place of origin, Basā (Fasā) in the province of Fars. Abuʾl-Ḥārith is a kunya, while his ism (given name) was the Turkish Arslān. He became a freedman (mawlā) of the Buwayhid emir Baha al-Dawla ((r. 988 – 1012)). His military career, however, can be traced only from the reign of Baha's son, Jalal al-Dawla ((r. 1025 – 1044)).

Al-Basasiri took part in Jalal's conflicts with his nephew, Abu Kalijar, the emir of Fars, and with the rival Uqaylid dynasty of Mosul. He was also a favourite of the Buwayhid emir al-Malik al-Rahim ((r. 1048 – 1055)), from whom he received the town of Anbar as a fief. This was a period of growing unrest among the Turkish troops in Baghdad, growing strife between Sunni and Shi'a, constant Kurdish raiding and the ongoing war with the Uqaylids.

Conflict with the vizier, 1054–55
In 1054, al-Basasiri was unable to prevent Turkish troops from rioting and looting in Baghdad. In the same year the Uqaylid leader Quraysh raided Baradan and carried off al-Basasiri's camels and horses. In November, Quraysh captured Anbar and formally renounced Buwayhid lordship, ordering the Seljuk sultan Tughrul to be named in the public sermon (khuṭba) during Friday prayer.

According to Ibn al-Athir's Complete History, "the estrangement of the [Abbasid] caliph and Basasiri began this year in Ramadan", that is, between 4 December 1054 and 2 January 1055. In 1054, al-Basasiri fell out with the caliphal vizier Ibn al-Muslima over Turkish policy. He accused the vizier of being in contact with Tughrul since 1052/3. Ibn al-Muslima in turn blocked al-Basasiri's efforts to combat Quraysh's supporters in Baghdad. In retaliation, al-Basasiri impounded the vizier's boat and cut off his monthly stipend. He also cut off the caliph al-Qa'im's monthly subsidy.

In March 1055 al-Basasiri reconquered Anbar. On his way he plundered the villages of Dimimma and Fallujah. He was joined by his brother-in-law, Dubays I of the Mazyadid dynasty. Anbar was defended by the Uqaylid client Abu'l-Ghana'im ibn al-Muhallaban. Al-Basasiri, employing trebuchets and Greek fire, destroyed a tower and some defensive works. The town was stormed and Abu'l-Ghana'im was captured along a hundred Khafaja soldiers.

The conflict with the vizier continued after al-Basasiri's return to Baghdad. In July 1055, during a Sunni protest, the vizier convinced some fanatics to board a ship and break some wine jars belonging to a Christian merchant and destined for al-Basasiri, then staying at Wasit with the Buwayhid sultan. Because the wine had belonged to a Christian, al-Basasiri was able to obtain a Hanadi legal ruling (fatwā) declaring the vizier's actions illegal. Ibn al-Muslima then denounced him as having Shi'a sympathies and being in contact with the Abbasids' rivals, the Shi'a Fatimid Caliphate. He turned the Turkish troops and the caliph against him, and had his house in Baghdad burnt down. In fact, although the Fatimid chief missionary al-Mu'ayyad fi'l-Din al-Shirazi wrote to al-Basasiri, his letters did not reach him until after the arrival of Tughrul in Baghdad.

Ibn al-Muslima ordered the sultan al-Malik al-Rahim to send his favourite away, but the sultan refused. On 15 December 1055, the name of Tughrul, who was nominally passing through on his pilgrimage (ḥajj) to Mecca, was pronounced in the khuṭba in Baghdad. On 18 December, he solemnly entered the city. The presence of his troops sparked disorders, and he arrested the Buwayhid sultan on 23 December for failing to control the people. Although al-Malik al-Rahim returned to Baghdad from Wāsiṭ to greet Tughrul, al-Basasiri went to the court of his brother-in-law, Dubays. Tughrul ordered Dubays to disassociate with al-Basasiri, and the latter went to Rahba.

Governor of Rahba
From Rahba, al-Basasiri wrote to the Fatimid caliph al-Mustansir ((r. 1036 – 1094)) for permission to come to Cairo and for assistance in defending Syria and Egypt from the Seljuks. The Fatimid vizier al-Yazuri refused the first request, but granted the second. Al-Basasiri was appointed governor of Rahba, and the caliph sent him 500 000 gold dinars, clothing valued at 500  000 dinars, 10  000 bows, 1  000 swords, 500 horses and a quantity of lances and arrows. Al-Mu'ayyad accompanied the supplies and brought the letter of investiture.

In 1056–57, al-Mu'ayyad won several Syrian and Iraqi emirs over to the Fatimid cause. Dubays, al-Basasiri's former protector, who had submitted to Tughrul, changed allegiance and had the Fatimid caliph's name pronounced in the khuṭba. He renewed his alliance with al-Basasiri. The Baghdadi Turks, who had been a thorn in the side of al-Basasiri in previous years, found the rule of Tughrul intolerable and joined al-Basasiri in Syria. The army of al-Basasiri and Dubays, reinforced by the Turks and some Bedouin, marched on Sinjar, where they defeated a Seljuk force under Qutalmish and Quraysh. While Qutalmish escaped capture and fled to Adharbayjan, Quraysh was injured and surrendered on 9 January 1057.

After his victory at Sinjar, al-Basasiri entered Mosul and the city declared for the Fatimid caliph. This situation only lasted a few days. Tughrul soon recaptured Mosul and set about devastating the region of Sinjar, while al-Basasiri retreated to Rahba. Dubays and Quraysh temporarily switched sides again, but the anti-Arab sentiment in the Seljuk camp repulsed them. Dubays went to Jami'an and Quraysh joined al-Basasiri at Rahba.

In early 1058, Tughrul's brother Ibrahim Inal entered into an agreement with al-Basasiri and al-Mu'ayyad, whereby the latter would support him in usurping his brother's throne and he would proclaim the name of the Fatimid caliph in the khuṭba. He abandoned Mosul to al-Basasiri, who still had to spend four months besieging the citadel before it surrendered. After capturing the citadel, al-Basasiri retired to Rahba. Again his victory did not last. Tughrul soon retook Mosul and marched on Nisibis. Al-Basasiri retreated to Damascus.

Conquest of Baghdad
During al-Basasiri's retreat, Ibrahim rose in revolt in the Jibal. Tughrul's response largely denuded Iraq of Seljuk troops, allowing al-Basasiri to launch an invasion. He quickly took Hit and Anbar. On 27 December 1058, he entered Baghdad with 400 mamlūk cavalry accompanied by Quraysh and his 200 cavalry. The next Friday, 1 January 1059, the Shi'a call to worship (adhān) was announced in western Baghdad, which was predominantly Shi'a. On 8 January, al-Basasiri crossed the Tigris and occupied eastern Baghdad. The name of the Fatimid caliph was pronounced in the Great Mosque. There skirmishes in the streets throughout the following week. On 19 January, the Hasani Palace was assaulted and the Abbasid caliph al-Qa'im placed himself and his household under the protection of Quraysh. On 29 January, al-Basasiri celebrated the Feast of the Sacrifice in the prayer space (muṣallā) outside the Great Mosque with Fatimid banners flying.

As the new authority in Baghdad, al-Basasiri took over the Abbasid insignia, the turban (mindīl), cloak (ridāʾ) and lattice screen (shibbāk). He allowed Quraysh to retain custody of al-Qa'im, removed from the city and confined at Haditha, but he ordered him to hand over the vizier Ibn al-Muslima, whom he paraded through the streets and executed on 16 February 1059.

Al-Basasiri followed up his conquest of Baghdad by taking Wasit and Basra. His invasion of Khuzistan, however, was repelled. The ruler of Khuzistan, Hazarasp ibn Bankir, asked Dubays to mediate with al-Basasiri. He offered to pay tribute to al-Basasiri, but the latter refused demanding that the khuṭba and the coinage be made in the name of the Fatimid caliph. Hazarasp refused this. When al-Basasiri realised that he was receiving troops from Tughrul, he made peace with him and retired to Wasit, which he reached on the 12 September 1059.

In July 1059, Tughrul defeated his brother. He offered to leave al-Basasiri in power in Baghdad provided the khuṭba and the coinage were in his name and the Abbasid caliph was restored. Al-Basasiri tried to pry al-Qa'im away from the Seljuks, but the caliph refused. Quraysh tried to convince al-Basasiri to accept Tughrul's authority, but he refused. Tughrul marched on Baghdad. Al-Basasiri abandoned the city with his family on 14 December 1059. Tughrul and the Abbasid caliph entered it on 4 January 1060. The Fatimid name was said to have been pronounced in the khuṭba in Baghdad's mosques forty times, meaning that the rule of al-Basasiri in Baghdad lasted forty Fridays.

Al-Basasiri headed towards Kufa and joined up with Dubays. When the Seljuk cavalry overtook them, Dubays fled but al-Basasiri offered battle. On 15 January, at Saḳy al-Furat near Kufa, he was defeated and killed. His horse was first killed under him by an arrow and he was then killed by the clerk of the Seljuk vizier al-Kunduri. His head was brought to Tughrul at Baghdad.

Gwyn Nicholls

Erith Gwyn Nicholls (15 July 1874 – 24 March 1939) was a Welsh rugby union player who gained 24 caps for Wales as a centre. Nicholls was known as the "Prince of Threequarters".

Born in Westbury-on-Severn, Nicholls started his rugby career with Cardiff Star before playing in the Cardiff first team from 1893. He spent all his playing career with Cardiff, playing 18 seasons for them, apart from half a season with Newport in 1901/2 when he began a laundry business there with fellow Welsh international Bert Winfield. He captained Cardiff for four seasons; 1898/9 through to 1900/1 and again in 1903/04.

International career
Nicholls gained his first international cap against Scotland on 25 January 1896, a solid if not spectacular debut. His next few games gained him praise and Nicholls began to get more notice from the local press, Nicholls international career was placed on pause for twelve months during 1897 and 1898 while Wales were excluded from playing because of the Gould Affair.

His 24 caps for Wales were won between 1896 and 1906 and included ten matches as captain. He was captain of the Triple Crown winning side of 1902. Despite announcing his retirement from international rugby at the end of the previous season, he returned in 1905 to captain Wales in the famous Match of the Century, a victory against New Zealand. He toured Australia with the British Isles team of 1899, and was the only Welsh player on this tour.

International matches played for Wales
Wales
 * 1897, 1898, 1899, 1901, 1902, 1904, 1906
 * 1896, 1898, 1899, 1900, 1901, 1902, 1903, 1905, 1906
 * 1905
 * 1896, 1899, 1900, 1901, 1902, 1906
 * 1906

Post playing career
In 1909 Nicholls was chosen to officiate the match between England and Scotland at the Richmond Athletic Ground, as part of the Home Nations Championship. It was the only international match that Nicholls refereed and the last to be played at Richmond.

Later life and death
In 1923, Nicholls while on holiday in Weston-super-Mare was involved in a rescue attempt involving two young girls. The two girls had been swept out to sea by the undertow and a doctor, Edward Holborow, had leapt into the sea to save them. Although the two girls were saved by another swimmer, Dr Holborow found the rough conditions too challenging, and Nicholls attempted to rescue him. Nicholls reached the doctor and got him close to the shore but Holborow was pronounced dead at the scene. Nicholls only managed to reach shore himself and his health never recovered from the ordeal. On 24 March 1939, Nicholls died in Dinas Powys. Heart failure was given as the cause of death.

On Boxing Day 1949 the "Gwyn Nicholls Memorial Gates" were officially opened at Cardiff Arms Park by his team mate Rhys Gabe. On 16 November 2005 Gwyn Nicholls was inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame.

Wansford, Cambridgeshire

Wansford is a village straddling the City of Peterborough and Huntingdonshire districts in the ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire, England. It had a population of 506 at the 2021 Census. It is situated 7 mi west of Peterborough and 8 mi miles south of Stamford. It is close to the county boundary with both Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire. The village is also located close to the A1 road and was on the route of the original Great North Road before the modern A1 was built. The village has since been bypassed by the A1 but the former Great North Road still exists through the village.

History

The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin is a Grade I listed building and is the main Church of England parish church of Wansford. There is also a former chapel in the village centre, but this has since been converted into a private residence. The Great North Road crossed the River Nene on Wansford Old Bridge, which is a Grade I listed building. The stone bridge replaced a wooden bridge with eight arches damaged by floods in 1571. The Great North Road was diverted to the east and the 1920s concrete bridge is itself Grade II*; it now carries the northbound carriageway of the A1.

Wansford is under two parish councils. Wansford Parish Council, within the area of Peterborough City Council, comprises the village north of, and including, the Old Bridge. The village to the south of Wansford Old Bridge (The Haycock side) is represented by Sibson-cum-Stibbington Parish Council and comes under Huntingdonshire District Council. Wansford station is in Stibbington parish. The village was split between two counties until 1965 when it came under one authority, (Huntingdon and Peterborough and, from 1974, Cambridgeshire). The boundary post between the Soke of Peterborough in Northamptonshire (the north side of the River Nene) and Huntingdonshire (the south bank) is still there halfway across the bridge.

On 2 May 2007 the helicopter of Phillip Carter, entrepreneur and owner of the Haycock Hotel, was found as it had crashed nearby in woods at Kings Cliffe.

"Wansford-in-England"
According to local folklore, related in Defoe's A tour thro' the whole island of Great Britain (1724), the name Wansford-in-England comes from the tale of a local man who fell asleep on a hayrick and upon awakening found himself floating down the River Nene towards the sea. He asked a traveller on the riverbank where he was, and upon hearing the reply "Wansford", asked, "Wansford in England?". The name stuck and the Haycock Hotel takes its name from the legend.

This version of the story seems to be derived by oral transmission from "Barnabæ Itinerarium, or Barnabee's Journal", an account of four long and often drunken journeys north through England published by Richard Brathwait in 1638 and reprinted in 1820, with extensive notes, by Joseph Haslewood. The hero, Barnaby, was allegedly born in Appleby-in-Westmorland, and his surname may have been Harrington (there was much discussion of the truth of these facts in prefaces to later editions - and indeed as to whether Barnaby had ever existed). The poem is written in elegant Latin verse with a parallel translation into English doggerel (only the English is given here).

The references to Wansford are in the third journey, after Barnaby has visited Stilton and before he heads north to Stamford. As the second verse shows, he arrived when Wansford had been hit by the plague and the doors were marked with warnings.

Transport
Wansford has no real regular bus services aside from ring-and-ride buses and school bus services. The nearest village with regular bus services to Peterborough, Stamford and Bourne is Barnack and further afield is Peterborough. The village was served by two railway stations, Wansford railway station was under miles southwest of the village on the former Northampton and Peterborough Railway which connected the village with Northampton, Wellingborough, Irthlingborough, Raunds, Thrapston, Oundle and Peterborough. The station was opened in 1845 and the station was also a junction for a branch line to Stamford East railway station via Barnack.

An additional station to serve the main village centre, called Wansford Road railway station, opened in 1867. This station though was also a distance from the main village centre and closed along with the branch line to Stamford East in 1929. Wansford station closed in 1957 to passengers and the stretch of the line from Northampton to Oundle in 1964. The line between Oundle and Peterborough via Wansford remained open for freight traffic and a boarding school in Oundle until 1972, when it too was closed. The station and line reopened around five years later under the Nene Valley Railway, a heritage railway group and trust. They bought the railway line between Yarwell and Peterborough via Wansford and they built a new station building at Wansford and now use the station for their main operations and headquarters.

In 2022, it was announced that National Highways planned to convert the single carriageway of the A47 between Leicester and Peterborough into a dual carriage way. This would involve cutting through part of the former Stamford to Wansford Branch Line and the relocating of Wansford Road station. Nene Valley Railway agreed to take the building and reuse it at their Peterborough terminus. This is still in the process of occurring.

Stibbington

Stibbington is a village in Cambridgeshire, England, located approximately 6 mi west of Peterborough city centre in the civil parish of Sibson-cum-Stibbington. It is situated in the far north-west corner of Huntingdonshire, which is a non-metropolitan district of Cambridgeshire, as well as a historic county of England.

History
In 1085 William the Conqueror ordered that a survey should be carried out across his kingdom to discover who owned which parts and what it was worth. The survey took place in 1086 and the results were recorded in what, since the 12th century, has become known as the Domesday Book. Starting with the king himself, for each landholder within a county there is a list of their estates or manors; and, for each manor, there is a summary of the resources of the manor, the amount of annual rent that was collected by the lord of the manor both in 1066 and in 1086, together with the taxable value.

Stibbington was listed in the Domesday Book in the Hundred of Upton in Huntingdonshire; the name of the settlement was written as Stebintone and Stebintune in the Domesday Book. In 1086 there were three manors at Stibbington; the annual rent paid to the lords of the manors in 1066 had been £0. 1 and the rent had increased to £1 in 1086.

The Domesday Book does not explicitly detail the population of a place but it records that there were 18 households at Stibbington. There is no consensus about the average size of a household at that time; estimates range from 3. 5 to 5. 0 people per household. Using these figures then an estimate of the population of Stibbington in 1086 is that it was within the range of 63 and 90 people.

The Domesday Book uses a number of units of measure for areas of land that are now unfamiliar terms, such as hides and ploughlands. In different parts of the country, these were terms for the area of land that a team of eight oxen could plough in a single season and are equivalent to 120 acre; this was the amount of land that was considered to be sufficient to support a single family. By 1086, the hide had become a unit of tax assessment rather than an actual land area; a hide was the amount of land that could be assessed as £1 for tax purposes. The survey records that there were five ploughlands at Stibbington in 1086. In addition to the arable land, there was 17 acre of meadows, 4 acre of woodland and a water mill at Stibbington.

The tax assessment in the Domesday Book was known as geld or danegeld and was a type of land-tax based on the hide or ploughland. It was originally a way of collecting a tribute to pay off the Danes when they attacked England, and was only levied when necessary. Following the Norman Conquest, the geld was used to raise money for the King and to pay for continental wars; by 1130, the geld was being collected annually. Having determined the value of a manor's land and other assets, a tax of so many shillings and pence per pound of value would be levied on the land holder. While this was typically two shillings in the pound the amount did vary; for example, in 1084 it was as high as six shillings in the pound. For the manors at Stibbington the total tax assessed was 4. 5 geld.

By 1086 there was already a church at Stibbington.

Government
Stibbington is part of the civil parish of Sibson-cum-Stibbington, which has a parish council. The parish council is elected by the residents of the parish who have registered on the electoral roll; the parish council is the lowest tier of government in England. A parish council is responsible for providing and maintaining a variety of local services including allotments and a cemetery; grass cutting and tree planting within public open spaces such as a village green or playing fields. The parish council reviews all planning applications that might affect the parish and makes recommendations to Huntingdonshire District Council, which is the local planning authority for the parish. The parish council also represents the views of the parish on issues such as local transport, policing and the environment. The parish council raises its own tax to pay for these services, known as the parish precept, which is collected as part of the Council Tax. The parish precept for the financial year 2014–15 was £11, 000. The parish council consists of eight parish councillors.

Stibbington was in the historic and administrative county of Huntingdonshire until 1965. From 1965, the village was part of the new administrative county of Huntingdon and Peterborough. Then in 1974, following the Local Government Act 1972, Stibbington became a part of the county of Cambridgeshire. The second tier of local government is Huntingdonshire District Council which is a non-metropolitan district of Cambridgeshire and has its headquarters in Huntingdon. Huntingdonshire District Council has 52 councillors representing 29 district wards. Huntingdonshire District Council collects the council tax, and provides services such as building regulations, local planning, environmental health, leisure and tourism. Stibbington is a part of the district ward of Stilton, Folksworth & Washingley and is represented on the district council by one councillor. District councillors serve for four-year terms following elections to Huntingdonshire District Council.

For Stibbington the highest tier of local government is Cambridgeshire County Council which has administration buildings in Cambridge. The county council provides county-wide services such as major road infrastructure, fire and rescue, education, social services, libraries and heritage services. Cambridgeshire County Council consists of 69 councillors representing 60 electoral divisions. Stibbington is part of the electoral division of Sawtry & Stilton and is represented on the county council by two councillors.

At Westminster Stibbington is in the parliamentary constituency of North West Cambridgeshire, and elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election. Stibbington is represented in the House of Commons by Shailesh Vara (Conservative). Shailesh Vara has represented the constituency since 2005. The previous member of parliament was Brian Mawhinney (Conservative) who represented the constituency between 1997 and 2005.

Population
In the period 1801 to 1901 the population of Sibson-cum-Stibbington was recorded every ten years by the UK census. During this time the population was in the range of 324 (the lowest was in 1801) and 790 (the highest was in 1851).

 * This page (should, I'm going to clean up in one moment) contain only companies that have their own wikipedia page; that is--it's not for every company based in Michigan, just those notable enough to have their own wikipedia page. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:42, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

 * The criteria for inclusion should be notability, not existence of an article. Existence of an article establishes notability, but the lack of an article does not necessarily refute notability.  Notability can also be verified with references to suitable sources.  That is, a company is notable if an article could be written in the future.  Spinning  Spark  18:31, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Not done: please be more specific about what needs to be changed. Ryan Vesey Review me!  20:51, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Please also note that companies added this list should have their own, separate Wikipedia article that is linked to here. With that in mind, companies have to satisfy the notability criteria at WP:CORP to be considered for inclusion in Wikipedia in any capacity.  elektrik SHOOS  (talk) 01:57, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Please change the link from AT&T to AT&T for simplifying disambiguation, per Talk:AT&T. 12.153.112.21 (talk) 18:43, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: AT&T Inc redirects to AT&T, so there is no reason to change the link.  The talk page you link to says much the same thing.  Please stop making these requests until you get consenus on this change.  RudolfRed (talk) 19:39, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
