Talk:Terri Schiavo case/Archive 37

NPOV flag
Regarding the addition of the NPOV flag, the neutrality of this paragraph is disputed:

 * In April 2000, in the midst of the guardianship challenge, Schiavo, widely described as the "brain-damaged Florida woman" [25] at the heart of this legal battle, was admitted to a Pinellas County, Florida hospice [26], a facility, which in her state of Florida, is typically only legally allowed to admit terminally ill patients. [27]

Specifically, the phrase "typically only legally" qualifies as weasel words that imply the transfer was not typical and was illegal. The courts and guardian ad litems appointed to have Terri's best interests at heart never found the transfer to be illegal or inappropriate.

Since the page is currently locked, no changes can be made to correct this paragraph. FuelWagon 16:27, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Comments from Ann
I have to admit that, although I've been involved with this article for ages, I'm a bit lost as well. I've been very busy in the last few days – filling in forms that had a deadline – and now I find the talk page is full over some dispute. I really don't have the energy to read through a lot of long postings at the moment (I might do it later), but for now I'll just make a few points. I agree with what patsw said in the "I'm lost" section. I don't have to read the whole talk page for that, because he's referring to a problem that has existed on this article for months.

 * In my opinion, the article should definitely mention that she was transferred to a hospice, and that the Schindlers, their lawyers, and the organizations that supported them argued that this was improper – they may even have said illegal; let's find the reference – because a hospice is supposed to take people who only have a few months to live. Terri was not terminally ill in the normal sense of the word. She did not die of PVS (even assuming that she was in a PVS) – she died because a decision was taken to end her life by removing her nutrition and hydration. Whether or not she wanted to die is a separate issue, and we shouldn't clog up Wikipedia server space squabbling about it, since Wikipedia isn't supposed to take sides as to which party was "right". However, it is appropriate to discuss whether or not the article should report that this woman, who was not dying, was put in a hospice. (If she had been dying, there would have been no need to remove the tube.)  Like a baby, she was incapable of feeding herself (and of speaking for herself), and therefore, when her feeding was removed, she died.  We don't put babies in hospices arguing that they'll die unless we feed them since they're incapable of feeding themselves, and therefore they're terminally ill. So yes, the article should report that. There's no need to put it in a nasty, insinuating kind of way; I don't suggest we put it straight after "although she was not dying". It should be possible to find a wording that isn't POV (unless Michael Schiavo's supporters, of which there are many on this article, think that any reporting of facts that show Michael's actions as possibly suspect are by definition POV). It's not for Wikipedia to take sides, so we don't say that it was illegal.  But we should say that it happened, and that it was challenged by the Schindlers on the following grounds, etc., and that their supporters pointed out that Michael Schiavo's lawyer was on the board of the hospice. Some of the more passionate editors on this article seem to spend most of their Wikipedia time on this article, but if they looked at other Wikipedia articles, they'd see that there is no policy of suppressing a piece of information about something that happened on the grounds that courts and guardians did not say that it was illegal.

 * If the squabbling is about bulimia, the I have the following comments – since the time that I got involved with this article, the majority side here was on the side of Michael Schiavo. These editors, to a certain extent, controlled the article. (That was not the case earlier, I note, and some versions in February, for example, are heavily biased towards the Schindlers' POV.) Wikipedia policy is such that the majority side will always win edit wars, because of 3RR, but on this particular page there was a remarkable lack of civility, which, I believe, drove away many editors, ensuring that the Michael supporters were even more in the majority than they had been.  The bulimia theory was disputed by Schindler supporters, but various attempts to insert words like "probably" or "possibly" were reverted by Michael supporters, ,  , , ,  and . Incredibly, one of these editors kept pushing the bulimia theory even after the autopsy report had been released , .   Apart from that last-mentioned editor, the general argument in the edit summaries, or on the talk page, was that the court ruled she had bulimia, therefore she had bulimia.  When the autopsy report came out, they quietly dropped their argument on that subject, but kept it up for their belief that Terri was in a PVS and that she wanted to die.  Wikipedia does not take sides like that in other articles.  I haven't looked at Michael Jackson recently, but last time I checked, it didn't say that Michael never did anything inappropriate when he was sharing a bed with children, even though the court found him not guilty. The article on Roy Whiting, last time I looked, didn't say that he killed Sarah Payne, merely that he was found guilty of killing her.  As far as I can tell, Terri Schiavo page logic (the courts ruled it, therefore it's true, therefore it's neutral) has absolutely no foundation in Wikipedia policy.  However, because of the 3RR rule – a rule I agree with and abide by – there is a (presumably unintended) Wikipedia policy that these things will get in to articles if most of the editors support a particular POV.

I have been arguing for months about the bias in this article. Examples of my objections were that the article claimed, as if these things were verifiable facts, that Michael had woken that night from the sound of Terri collapsing, that he had immediately called emergency services, that she had had bulimia, that she was in a PVS, that Michael had started studying nursing because he wanted to learn how to take care of Terri, that he had gradually come to accept that his wife wouldn't recover, etc. I have stuck around on a talk page that was filled with foul language, abuse, and ridicule – not usually directed against me, but certainly often directed against people who were making the arguments that I was making. I have found it depressing and wearing. No other Wikipedia page I've worked on has been like this. However, I believe that partly as a result of my persistence, the article is less biased than it was. I have never argued that it should say that she was not it a PVS, or that she collapsed under mysterious circumstances while alone with her husband, etc.

To get back to the bulimia issue – I made the point that the bulimia bit did not belong in the article after the autopsy report had said that it was unlikely that she had had it. (As far as I can recall, my comment was never responded to, and was eventually archived.) Remember the report gave not only physical reasons for that conclusion, but also reasons based on evidence that she had eaten normally and that she would not have had an opportunity to vomit after dinner that night – or something like that, but I don't have it in front of me now. I imagine an official report like that carries more weight than a newspaper article. In any case, that newspaper article given as a source requires registration.

My suggestion – get rid of the bulimia claim in the article, except to say that her husband and his lawyers argued that she had had bulimia, a court had agreed, her parents had disputed it, and the autopsy report said that bulimia was unlikely.

Instead of trying to suppress the information that she was put into a hospice when she wasn't dying, let's try to find a neutral way of providing that information in a NPOV way. In other words, get rid of "editor's voice" saying things like "normally legally reserved for" etc. Let's say that she was put in a hospice. Her parents objected. They claimed that etc. They were parties to the court cases; we weren't.

From a very tired Ann Heneghan (talk) 18:19, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comments, but for the specific dispute at hand it's not suppressing anything if the thing simply isn't important enough to cover in the article. I'm about as neutral on this topic as they come, but the article is too long, and that fact adds very little important. Detailed material needs to be moved to sub articles that are focused on given specific topics. That way no material is lost, but this article can remain the proper overview that it should. - Taxman Talk 18:30, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, the article is too long. I'm not particularly attached to the bit about the hospice being "normally legally" reserved for terminally-ill patients (and I wouldn't word it that way, anyway). The point I was making was that there is a tendency (since most of the editors of this article personally and even passionately sided with Michael Schiavo) to supress information that might reflect badly on Michael. I can even recall – but I can't find the diff right now – that one of them argued a few months ago that the article shouldn't mention that Michael Schiavo was living with another woman, since the article is about Terri not about Michael!!!

 * I hope I'm not misquoting anyone, but I think it was either patsw or Jdavidb (it could even have been both) who argued in April that if a piece of information favours the Schindlers' side, people say that there's no room, because the article is bloated, but if it favours Michael's side, room is somehow found for it. That has been my impression at times.

 * I would personally vote for keeping the hospice information in the article, but worded in a more neutral way. However, the article is too long, so I'd be happy to have it taken out if it's taken out as part of an honest effort to shorten the article. That would mean that other things would have to go as well, perhaps starting with the accounts of her getting up to vomit after meals. The most official source – the autopsy report – disputes it; the Miami Herald article link is a dead link. There are lots of other things that should go as well.

 * I apologize for making my last post so long. It was partly because there is now an article RfC, so I wanted to make a statement about issues that have bothered me for some time. Apart from the hospice issue and the bulimia issue, is there anything else that I'm missing from this long talk page? Ann Heneghan (talk) 20:48, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

sigh - You know I can't even read past your first bullet point up there, as the situation is so horrendous. Hats off to the people who can NPOV this etc. Ryan Norton T 00:09, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Comments from Gordon
It appears from my reading of this entire page (yes, I do read every single diff), that Both Marskell and Taxman are saying that I am insisting on the current version of the hospice paragraph (the one that uses the "typically legally" language), which says (in the strong editor's voice) that the hospice is "typically only legally for terminal folk" or to that effect. Now, while that sentence is not inaccurate, I agree that it could be construed as POV, and I'm upset that I have been slandered -er, libeled, and my character defamed by having been misquoted:

I do not insist that the current (locked) version be kept: In case you haven't read my posts, I have offered a compromise, which grants FuelWagon's insistent request to quote only the major players, and I have further agreed to not insist that the language describes Terri as " widely described as the 'brain-damaged Florida woman'."

However, we have Marskell and Taxman simply suggesting that this paragraph be deleted in its entirety, with no mention of the hospice. Let me introduce you to a novel word: NO.

I'm not being mean, but here's the deal: The main point about Terri was that she was this somehow-famous woman in a hospice; but, really, why did she go there? Were there any objections? As Ann has eloquently pointed out in the past, the article never tells us why, and, no, this doesn't belong in some side-article; it is the main point of the issue: Why in the Sam Hill did this woman get in a hospice? What were the arguments of both sides to this issue?

The article absolutely has to tell us somewhere (in chronological order of event reporting) that she was placed in a hospice, and the events surrounding it; The article never did that until I came on the scene, lol. (No, I'm not claiming special intelligence or expertise, but I know a glaring omission when I see one.)

Homework to any editor who wants to discuss this matter: Read Talk:Terri_Schiavo, where I show the current version, my proposed suggestion, and describe how Wagon's version is similar but lacking one key element on this key hospice topic. THEN, look about two-thirds the way down in the Talk:Terri_Schiavo section to see my ADDITIONAL compromise, OK? Then we can talk.

Additionally, I think Wagon is about right on the intro: It can be tweaked, as others suggests, but we don't have to put it all in the first sentence. Oh, by the way, we did have a good intro, with the "these things sparked debate" type intro, which was accepted by a narrow concensus in the past, but Wagon, on the losing side of the vote, kept arguing and reverting, and finally got that section deleted. You can look Talk:Terri_Schiavo to see what happened, and that is why I am not fully confident that this concensus will be honored. However, I do NOT disagree with Wagon on explaining the other points of view. If you actually read my proposed replacement, you should see that it has this sentence: "The court eventually ruled A-B-and-C." OK, now, is it OK that the truth is told about me when I do not object to having other points of view being reported? I'm easy-going, and open to discussing matters, but please do not misquote me; With all due respect, the hospice placement is perhaps one of the key issues in this whole matter: THAT is what precipitated and caused the debate about her; it should be reported, along with the reactions by ALL the parties, not just one or the other, and NO, it won't take twenty-paragraphs to do: My proposal is pretty short, he heh, eh?--GordonWattsDotCom 23:15, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Oh, PS: I am open to removing some non-relevant material, such as her cat and stuffed animals, if you know what I mean; Chill out, actually read what we write, and we can work on the few disagreements, ok?--GordonWattsDotCom 23:15, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Reporting hospice placement: Key event or not?
The Second item is a surprise to me: I thought it was apparent that we needed to mention the key events, but apparently there is dispute. (Notes: Please keep this section clear of comments; We can talk in a section below it -please only place votes here.) (In alpha-numeric order, here are the current editors -did I leave anyone out? YES, moderators get to vote - especially if it's a tie situation.)
 * SHOULD the description of events tell Wikipedia readers that Terri Schiavo was placed into a hospice at all, or, instead, should we keep it a secret?
 * Ann Heneghan: It appears you are voting YES, but this is a tentative vote unless otherwise noted: "In my opinion, the article should definitely mention that she was transferred to a hospice...a very tired Ann Heneghan (talk) 18:19, 11 September 2005 (UTC)"
 * Ed Poor, e.g., Uncle Ed:
 * Fernando Rizo:
 * Fuel Wagon: Wagon, you appear to be voting "YES." "Gordon, my proposal mentions the transfer to the hospice as well... FuelWagon 23:51, 11 September 2005 (UTC)"
 * Gordon Watts: My vote is "YES."--GordonWattsDotCom 21:17, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Marskell: No Marskell 08:50, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Pat Sweeney, e.g., Patsw: It looks like you are voting "YES" here: "Either the Schindler's raised an objection to Michael's guardianship over the hospice move as violating state law or regulation or they didn't. This is a fact or it's not a fact. The reader can judge if this indicates a frivolous claim on the part of the Schindlers, or if it demonstrates an abuse of the court's discretion as to what weight it would give laws to protect patient rights from an abusive guardian. patsw 14:10, 10 September 2005 (UTC)"
 * Taxman: It appears you are voting "NO," based on your comments from this talk page: "A detail such as the hospice not supposed to be able to take here is incredible minutae, and establishes nothing either way...Taxman Talk 01:43, September 12, 2005 (UTC)" -- and, in your answer to "What to mention in the section about hospice transfer, if approved by above vote," you answer: "nothing, this and other minutae need to be covered in subarticles if at all. Summarize and remove other material also as needed to balance and make room for more important overiew and implication summaries. - Taxman Talk 02:55, September 13, 2005 (UTC)"
 * Analysis: It seems that the vast majority supporting the claim that Terri's transfer was a key event that needs to be mentioned, but I do not know if I have the official "power" to open and close votes -as some have hinted.-- GordonWattsDotCom 21:34, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

What to mention in the section about hospice transfer, if approved by above vote
This is the Third item, in this series of requests to vote:
 * Ann Heneghan: You said "In my opinion, the article should definitely mention that she was transferred to a hospice, and that the Schindlers, their lawyers, and the organizations that supported them argued that this was improper – they may even have said illegal; let's find the reference...Ann Heneghan (talk) 18:19, 11 September 2005 (UTC)"
 * Ed Poor, e.g., Uncle Ed: ?
 * Fernando Rizo: ?
 * Fuel Wagon: From this diff, you say: "In 2000, the Schindlers again challenged Michael's guardianship. Their new evidence ostensibly reflected adversely on Michael Schiavo’s role as guardian, citing "that he had relationships with other women, that he had allegedly failed to provide appropriate care and treatment for Theresa, that he was wasting the assets within the guardianship account (according to the Schindlers, transferring Schiavo to a "hospice after it was clear that she was not “terminal” within Medicare guidelines" [17] bullet 31), and that he was no longer competent to represent Theresa’s best interests." [24] By this time, while still legally married to Terri, Michael was in a relationship with Jodi Centonze, with whom he had fathered two children. Michael denied wrongdoing in this matter, stating that the Schindlers had actively encouraged him to "get on with his life" and date since 1991. Michael said he chose not to divorce his wife and relinquish guardianship because he wanted to ensure her final wishes (to not be kept alive in a PVS) were carried out."
 * Gordon Watts: In April 2000, in the midst of the guardianship challenge, Schiavo, widely described as the "brain-damaged Florida woman" [12] at the heart of this legal battle, was admitted to a Pinellas County, Florida hospice [13], amid objections by her family [14] that this was a facility which is was prohibited by state law from admitting nonterminal patients [15] and prohibited by federal law from taking federal funds if it did admit nonterminal patient [15]. The court eventually ruled A-B-and-C. I am compromising with Wagon and quoting only the major players --and striking out the "widely described as" language --and also proposing to NOT use the "typically legally" language. [Maybe add "why" she was transferred from Michael's viewpoint; Adding in views of guardian ad litems and my own view are too much.] NOTE: Wagon's version may look longer, but it is actually half a sentence shorter: He agrees to report about Terri's parents' concerns of the financial mismanagement, but not report their concerns that it was illegal at all.-- GordonWattsDotCom 21:54, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Marskell: "...amid objections by her family. --> This bullet and the petition generally were dismissed by the court." Marskell 08:52, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Pat Sweeney, e.g., Patsw: ?
 * Taxman: nothing, this and other minutae need to be covered in subarticles if at all. Summarize and remove other material also as needed to balance and make room for more important overiew and implication summaries. - Taxman Talk 02:55, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS: It looks like Ann agrees with my view to report both major objections to the transfer -and Wagon wants to omit mention of one; Please note that I have agreed to remove the "typically legally" language, and I recall "Ann's comments" that she agrees with me --and Wagon agrees with us on this one point, so "typically legally" looks like it will be voted down.--GordonWattsDotCom 21:57, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the additional input/participation and votes from editors.-- GordonWattsDotCom 09:09, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Extra stuff to go, reduce article size
This is the Fourth item, in this series of requests to vote: This section is ready to go, but we aren't. We need to address the first three areas above, and then we can discuss and vote on things that really are unnecessary fluff -and bloat.--GordonWattsDotCom 22:01, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Moving on
I requested an unlock for this page which has yet to be acted on. Perhaps too hasty, but it can't be held hostage as has been pointed out repeatedly. I want to suggest this:

 * Gordon has two edits on this page in any 24 hour period. Any edit counts and you cannot list anything as minor. Edits cannot involve more than two third-level sections (or second-level if not further sub-divided).
 * Gordon has one talk addition in any 24 hour period. It cannot exceed six lines on the talk page (about 120 words).

Please support or oppose
 * I support discussion about --and voting on --the major points of contention. Since no one did, then I ranted and raved, asking (begging) people to discuss & VOTE -and they did NOT --they merely talked about it. I've removed your inappropriate language, and replaced it with a euphemism; While this is wrong, I can sense and feel your frustration, but you are blaming me for the page lock when it was partly precipitated by FuelWagon; With only one of us or the other, it would not have happened, but you are wrong to characterize me as always reverting; I rarely revert, and save that for important matters. Now, if you want me to stop ranting and raving, and using up space on the page, please vote on the matters above. Just like in Board meetings, a person can propose a vote, and, if it is seconded by another person --it can go to a vote. Since all the matters in my "voting section" above are seconded by others as issues of importance (whether or not they agree with me on how to vote), then it's time for you ro vote more --discuss more --talk about these distractions less. You want me to take less space up in talk -I fully agree, but it's your move. You have talked ABOUT fixing the problem, but you have done little to fix it, forcing me to sort-of "guess" at your positions on certain matters. Let's get the show on the road, and we can come to concensus on these issues -or determine that concensus can't be reached. Now, do your part to contribute: I've gone to extensive trouble to set up the voting booth. By the way, Marskell, --in spite of your long-winded anger, and LACK OF VOTING after much discussion, thank you for at least not defacing my voting booth above. Now, it is your civic duty to vote: I've placed "tentative" voted for you, but we've already found out the hard way that I can't read your mind, and I apologize big-time for misrepresenting you and Taxman. Now do your civic duty -do or do not -there is no "try." I'm finished commenting for now -it's your move.-- GordonWattsDotCom 00:53, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Naturally this is informal but if Gordon agrees than other observing editors can recommend a block to an admin if it's violated.

If this seems to single out Gordon, well his contributions are singular. He regularaly floods the talk page with (literally) thousands of words and he does revert to the max in the article with knowledge of no consensus on his points.

Plz, stop and consider because I can guess your rebuttals Gordon. First, limited edits is in your interest because it gives you a break and allows you to make pointed rather than on-the-fly changes. If you feel this should apply to FuelWagon as well, fair enough I will support that; I do believe FW's replies were effectively always a response to you so I see your repeated editing as the issue at the hand. As far as the disputed sentence goes, leave it. I will edit it, someone can revert it and...and we need to move on with this page, so f--- lets stop spinning the wheels over something talk cannot seem to resolve. The sense of ownership is getting to be too much.

Finally, I'm considering this an attempted intervention to avoid an RfA.. And please, Gordon don't flood this with commentary to make it unreadable. This is a suggestion to move on—respond but try to be brief so that others can understand. Marskell 23:37, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Gordon, people can't spend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on wikipedia, so yelling at them for "not voting" when you just put up your request for a vote a few hours ago is an unwarranted attack. I actually don't have time to respond beyond that right now. FuelWagon 01:51, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I do have reason to yell, but I did NOT yell for the most part. (Yelling is done with capitol letters, LIKE THIS!!) Why do I have justification to yell and get upset? Because people really did have a chance to vote, by making a voting template like I did -and furthermore, Marskell saw the voting template and chose not to vote, instead, placing comments about other matters under the template. The page was protected in the "Revision as of 08:59, 7 September 2005," and yet, over five days later, still few if any votes; I'm trying to keep us from spinning our wheels, and, instead, get constructive action like Jackson, dig? "I actually don't have time to respond beyond that right now." OK, take your time, no problemo. PS: While I feel justified in getting upset, I am trying to be polite and helpful, so please don't think I'm super mad at anyone, you or fellow editors -frustrated, yes --mad, no.-- GordonWattsDotCom 02:06, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I also think that if everyone calms down and try to explain what we even are trying to decide here. While I was asked to come here and see what is going on, but I am just lost with all of this debate. But if this is about Terri being in a "hospice," that term was used by the news. Maybe, what we could do is just write an whole article about the hospice debate and look at relevant laws surrounding it. Zach (Sound Off) 02:30, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Zach, please read out talk page here, and then check out: Talk:Terri_Schiavo#Reporting_hospice_placement:_Key_event_or_not.3F .-- GordonWattsDotCom  02:43, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * yes, please. Limiting Gordon's voluminous edits would help everyone including him and the article. But give him 5 posts a day 50 words each. Then he'll have to think more whether what he is adding has any value. Also, I suggest we impliment an immediate 1 revert max per day for everyone or else a 24 hour block, and with that I'm prepared to un protect immediately. This article cannot be held hostage like this any longer. - Taxman Talk 02:55, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking time to vote on some matters, Taxman -even if you disagree with me; Also, the page is not held hostage by me (not that you accused me; you didn't, but I wish to clarify this), but rather it is "held hostage" by the actionable dispute between me and another editor. So, please don't single me out, as if I'm the prime mover or anything. But we seem to be getting close to an agreement.-- GordonWattsDotCom 05:09, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Gordon, do you or do you not agree to: Per Taxman: Again, yes or no so that this can be opened. Marskell 09:43, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Two edits on this page in any 24 hour period. Any edit counts and you cannot list anything as minor. Edits cannot involve more than two third-level sections (or second-level if not further sub-divided).
 * One revert only and this will apply to everyone.
 * Five talk posts of no more than 50 words.

 * Do you agree to such restrictions on how often you can edit?? By the way, since you are so stressed out that you don't want a reply to your message on your talk page, please rest assured that I answered you here in the Revision as of 09:18, 13 September 2005. I've archived my page, to reduce clutter, and you would miss it. If you don't want me to reply, then don't post something objectionable: If everyone had come to concensus a week ago, I would have "zero" posts in the talk page; if threatening a person with limited edits is not something you'd like done to yourself, so, instead, try persuasion. It's more effective, and also, earn our respect, like I have: I've spent untold hours not only editing the page, but personally traveling to Terri Schiavo 's grave site -and creating the  Terri_Schiavo#Notes_and_references  section all by myself -and repairing it when others got the links mixed up. Read my words carefully, because typing on my end is even harder than reading on your end. (Besides, when I post a reply to you, others will be bound to see it, so you ought not to miss out.) If you think I'm too harsh, maybe you can travel out to the grave site and create a "references" section --and set up and manage a "vote" section, etc. You have it easy: Chill out and relax. So, would you like to have your edits limited, eh?-- GordonWattsDotCom  09:58, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * So no then? Marskell 10:19, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, if you're serious, then I will agree to this -if it should apply to all of us. However, the moderators must agree to this as well, but think about it -you might limit yourself too much. OK: Yes, if "Two edits on this page in any 24 hour period," etc. applies to all of us -we can try out this new method: If it works, you will be famous for the "Marskell Method."-- GordonWattsDotCom 10:41, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll agree to it for myself. Marskell 11:05, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll agree to it, and 2 edits a day is probably too little if someone is actually improving, but we can expand that if the article is improving. Lets also make it clear that changing the meaning of a paragraph back to substantially what you wrote before is considered a revert for the purposes here. Holding moderators to this standard isn't a good idea because someone's got to police the thing, but so be it. - Taxman Talk 11:32, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Why does text like this keep disappearing? (And why readers cannot trust this article to be accurate and NPOV.)
"I believe in the vows I took with my wife: through sickness and health, for richer or poor. I married my wife because I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I'm going to do that."

That's Michael Schiavo's testimony in November 5, 1992 and the testimony of rehabilitation specialists testifying on his behalf that Terri would have a normal life span led the jury to award close to $1 million for Terri and about $400,000 to Michael.

That's a fact. It's significant. And it's important to establish that Michael was of one frame of mind in November 10, 1992, and in a different frame of mind on February 14, 1993 when he instructs "Do Not Resuscitate" to be put on Terri's chart.

August 1993 is when Terri had her life threatening the urinary tract infection. It's one of the dates that Wolfson got wrong. It was corrected once, but that correction was undone. Michael Schiavo testifies to attempting to prevent the treatment of the infection in the November 1993 guardianship case.

With all the rewrites and reorgs, it's like magic -- facts and corrections just get dropped from the article. The legality of the hospice transfer is insignificant next to dropping the "vows" quote. patsw 04:05, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * We can add this to the list of things on which to vote, if you like; please make sure I voted correctly for you above -on the other issues; I have no problem with adding this quote -if you can "source" it with a link to verify is accuracy. Then, after the article's unlocked, add it, and if there's a dispute, we can come here and vote on it (hopefully next time without having to wait five days for people to log in and properly count votes).

 * Once that's done, assuming there were sufficient people to vote, we can write a list of "agreements," and if any bozo's dumb or brave enough to try and violate the concensus, then I can have a talk with User:Jimbo ; he only works about 60-70 miles from where I live. Additionally, I have connection's with Jimbo's boss,  God, and I can pull rank if we need further assistance. PS: I'm not bragging by "dropping 'big' names" here (e.g., Jimbo and The Almighty), but if I'm right about enforcing valid concensus, then I should not be wrong to  be bold  and ask for assistance from the powers-that-be.-- GordonWattsDotCom  04:15, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * The testimony is in the malpractice suit section. Cries of "conspiracy" to hide it are unfounded. Michael gives that testimony during the malpractice suit in answer to questions as to why he started going to nursing school, so that's where it belongs in the article, in the malpractice suit section, in the context of teh question that he was asked by the lawyer. FuelWagon 13:26, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * So you don't have an objection to restoring the "vows" quote? You no longer object to the correction of the date of her urinary tract infection?  If so, this is progress. patsw 14:08, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * First, the date of the DNR seems problematic. Guardian ad litem Pearse reports the DNR was filed early 1994 (on page 5 of 13). Guardian ad litem Wolfson reports that the DNR was filed "early 1994" as well (page 10 of 38). Do you have something that shows both guardian ad litems got the date wrong?

 * Second, are Michael's vows specifically mentioned in a court motion by the Schindlers? If not, I see little reason to include them in teh article other than for emotional pleading. If people are simply trying to convict Michael in the court of public opinion of breaking his vows, then I oppose mentioning them in the article. If his vows are specifically mentioned in a legal court motion, then I'd like to see a URL to the motion, and we can discuss. FuelWagon 16:09, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Before we get into "do I have something", do you believe the urinary tract infection was in 1994 and not 1993? Do you believe the first guardianship case was heard starting in 1994 and not 1993?

 * Of course, the vows testimony from the malpractice case came up in later pleadings by the Schindlers as evidence of Michael's failure to disclose to them and to the court Terri's wishes. Do you believe it didn't? patsw 18:33, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I was unaware that there was a dispute about the date of the DNR. I have read the wolfson and pearse reports a couple of different times, mainly because all of the guardian ad litems are appointed by the courts to have Terri's best wishes at heart, without bringing their own personal baggage. I have skimmed other sources. Do you have a URL that disputes the date?

 * As for the vows, it doesn't matter what I believe, it matters if they were specifically invoked by the Schindlers for some reason or other, in what context, and what the various other POV's were around that, such as the guardian ad litems and the court. the guardian ad litem reports don't mention Michael's vows that I recall (it's been a while since I read them though). Do you have a URL to a motion by the Schindlers that calls out the wedding vows? FuelWagon 18:52, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * What you believe matters because you are acting as the gatekeeper to edits to this article. It's helpful to know what you think believe because if you believe it, it goes into the article and if you don't, then I know that I have to overcome your objections as well as satisify the usual wikiness requirements.  So getting an edit into this article where you don't believe it presents a unique challenge in the Wikipedia to any editor.

 * The 1993 date for the bladder/urinary tract infection and the Michael's testimony that he sought to allow it to progress untreated to hatsten Terri's death is in |the University of Miami Ethics Program which is already cited in the article. In his testimony, Michael Schiavo refers to it as UTI and is asked to define the term.  Clearly the infection of which he speaks did not occur in 1994.

 * The May 2001 |civil lawsuit gives July 1993 as the date of the do not recusitate order at Sabel Palms. Some statements to the media from the Schindlers put the date at February 1993, but I've not been able to find a petition that gives that date online, nor an assertion from Michael's side that the first do not recusitate order was in 1994.  Because several of the nurses at Palm Gardens gave testimony in later cases, the 1994 do not recusitate order at that facility is perhaps better known and that is what confused the GAL's.  As for the dates, there are 2 infections in 2 facilities in 2 different years (1993 and 1995) and not a single infection (1994) as some timelines incorrectly have it listed (perhaps using the Wikipedia article as a reliable source).

 * The 1992 vows testimony come back in the 1993 guardianship case where Michael Schiavo admits to intimate relations with other women. These women, of course, have names: Cindy Brashers Shook and Trudy Capone. I don't believe it is important to mention their specific names in the article.  I expect books written on the case to be more objective and comprehensive, and they will include facts such as these which were taken out of the article under Fuel Wagon's editorial control.  The vows quote is important not only because it is featured in the Schindler petitions, but because there was a consensus to include it earlier, it's not legal, political, or medical minutiae, and there is wide and frequent mention of it in the public discussion of the case as evidence of Michael's duplicity. patsw 01:21, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I act as gatekeeper to unfounded accusations entering the article, to cries of witchcraft being inserted without any other POV's being reported on that same accusation, of that I am guilty. This entire story is 90% "he said, she said", and NPOV is the only way it will ever find balance. I am sick of "original research" being inserted, of charges being invented by editors and inserted in the article that don't report what the actual players said, but rather report what the editor think was wrong.

 * two infections, exactly one year apart, two different locations? I'll have to read through the links you provide. What would clearly prove this isn't people getting the years wrong would be a motion by the Schindlers in 1993 protesting the first lack of infection treatment and a new motion by the Schindlers in 1994 protesting the lack of infection treatment. Or a motion by the Schindlers that lists a lack of treatment on two different occaisions, 1993, and 1994. If there were an error on a motion submitted to the court, then Michael would have a chance to dispute it. If he didn't dispute it, then it could be reported as fact. I've never heard anyone say there were two infections before now. FuelWagon 15:56, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Two infections are already in the record: The 1993 (Sabel Palms) infection came up in the 1993 guardianship trial. The 1995 (Palm Gardens) infection is in the public statements of the Schindler's and the Iyer affidavit submitted to the court which Greer disallowed as untimely in support of an order to vacate judgment.  We don't have the medical records of course, and we don't have an explicit denial of the 1995 infection on Michael's part, nor an assertion that there was only one infection where he intervened in insisting that it not be treated.

 * It's an interesting bifucation of the record: Articles approaching this from the Schinder's POV and using the timeline according to them, have two infections (1993,1995) while articles approaching this from Michael's POV use the Wolfson (2003) report with its one 1994 infection. Wolfson has the date of the malpractice award as 1993 when the award was determined by trial and paid to Michael in 1992.  I don't know why Wolfson got it wrong but his dates for the award and (first) infection are demonstrably incorrect. patsw 01:44, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

 * The problem I'm having is that there are two guardian ad litem reports that say 1994. So I'd have to see something as official as two court reports that say 1993. For example, in the motion filed by the schindlers, it says "Defendant Schiavo admitted under oath during his deposition on November 19, 1993, that he had given the aforesaid orders." What was the court response to this motion? If the courts acknowledge teh date mismatch, that's one thing. If the courts dismiss the motion as being wrong, that's another. Do you have a URL to the court's response? An even better solution might be a URL to the November 19, 1993 deposition, which should establish the time of Michael's testimony as part of court record. It may be that wikipedia can't say the DNR was 1993 or 1994, but only report that the guardian ad litems said it was 1994 and the Schindlers say it was 1993/1995.

Stanford Wong

John Ferguson (born 1943), known by his pen name, Stanford Wong, is a gambling author best known for his book Professional Blackjack, first published in 1975. Wong's computer program "Blackjack Analyzer", initially created for personal use, was one of the first pieces of commercially available blackjack odds analyzing software. Wong has appeared on TV multiple times as a blackjack tournament contestant or as a gambling expert. He owns a publishing house, Pi Yee Press, which has published books by other gambling authors including King Yao.

Blackjack
Wong began playing blackjack in 1964 while teaching finance courses at San Francisco State University and getting his Ph.D. in finance from Stanford University in California. Not content with the teaching life, Wong agreed to be paid a salary of $1 for his last term of teaching at the school in order to not attend faculty meetings and to pursue his gambling career.

The term "wong" (v.) or "wonging" has come to mean a specific advantage technique in blackjack, which Wong made popular in the 1980s. It involves watching the play of cards in a game without actually wagering your own money, until the count becomes advantageous, and then stepping in and playing only while the count remains in the player's favor, and then stepping out again. "Wonging" is the reason that some casinos have signs on some blackjack tables saying, "No Mid-Shoe Entry", meaning that a new player must wait until exactly the first hand after a shuffle to begin playing.

He has reviewed or acted as a consultant for blackjack writers and researchers, including Don Schlesinger and Ian Andersen.

Wong is known to have been the principal operator of a team of advantage players that targeted casino tournaments including Blackjack, Craps and Video Poker in and around Las Vegas. At the beginning of the team's operation Wong was the primary financier providing the travelling expenses and buy in stakes for the other players. The current owner of the Las Vegas Advisor Anthony Curtis was among the members of this team.

Wong is a member of the Blackjack Hall of Fame.

Current Blackjack News
In 1979, Wong began publishing monthly newsletters on the subject of blackjack. These grew into one of the major journals for professional blackjack players, Wong's Current Blackjack News, ranking with Arnold Snyder's Blackjack Forum. As of 2007, Wong's newsletter is published via Wong's official website.

The journal contains information about rules and conditions of blackjack games in casinos in the United States and some other countries.

Website
Stanford Wong's BJ21 has been online since 1997. It contains a free area and a restricted, subscribers-only area, called Green Chip. Every month, one message from the restricted area is selected by Wong as Post of the Month and its author wins a prize of $100.

The record holder for most Post of the Month awards won is the blackjack expert known as MathProf, with a total of 16 wins.

Craps
Wong wrote Wong on Dice which purports to show how the game of casino craps can be beaten through controlled dice throwing. Many blackjack experts are skeptical of Wong's craps claims, and this is a hotly disputed issue—unlike card counting in blackjack, which can be mathematically proven. Wong himself was initially skeptical of the proposition that dice can be controlled in craps.

Personal life
The name "Stanford Wong" is a pseudonym; the author's real name is John Ferguson. His first choice for a pen name was "Nevada Smith," but that name had been taken. "Stanford Wong" was selected by a friend in the PhD program by taking his alma mater as his first name and an Asian last name to provide the "mystique of the Orient".

Stanford Wong Video Poker was published in 1990 by Villa Crespo Software.

Wong lives in La Jolla, California with his wife. They have two grown children who are both college graduates and married. Wong's company Pi Yee Press is now based in Las Vegas.

Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum Hildesheim

The Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum Hildesheim is an archaeological museum in Hildesheim, Germany. Mostly dedicated to ancient Egyptian and ancient Peruvian art, the museum also includes the second largest collection of Chinese porcelain in Europe. Furthermore, the museum owns collections of natural history, ethnology, applied arts, drawings and prints, local history and arts, as well as archeology. Apart from the permanent exhibitions, the museum hosts temporary exhibitions of other archaeological and contemporary topics.

In 2000, the old building, originally built in the 1950s, was replaced by a new building, significantly increasing the space available for exhibitions.

The current museum is the result of the union of the Roemer Museum, founded in 1844 (and named after one of the founders, Herrmann Roemer), and the Pelizaeus Museum, established in 1911, that had housed the private collection of Egyptian antiques of Wilhelm Pelizaeus.

Repatriation
In 2023 the museum was one of seven German museums and universities to return Māori and Moriori remains to the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa in New Zealand.

Knaptoft

Knaptoft is a deserted medieval village and civil parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire and lies approximately 9.7 mi south of the city of Leicester, England. According to the University of Nottingham English Place-names project, the settlement name Knaptoft could mean "cnafa" (Old English) for 'a boy, a young man, a servant, a menial, or a personal name' and 'toft' (Old English), the plot of ground in which a dwelling stands. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 47.

Geography
Knaptoft is situated on a ridge due south of Shearsby 0.85 mi, between the villages of Bruntingthorpe 1.51 mi to the west and Mowsley to the east 1.31 mi. The soils are "Slowly permeable seasonally wet slightly acid but base-rich loamy and clayey soils", according to UK Soil Observatory results. The site of the settlement is mainly situated on Till (a superficial deposit formed up to 2 million years ago in the Quaternary Period), with a strip of Lacustrine deposits on the western end that is underpinned by Dyrham Formation (grey siltstone, 183-191 million years old), with Charmouth Mudstone (105-180 million years old) to the western end of the village.

History
Mentioned in the Domesday Book Survey of 1086, Knaptoft was a settlement in the Hundred of Guthlaxton, Leicestershire. It had an estimated population of 22 households including a priest, in 1086. Evidence of activity prior to this is very slim, but a piece of Saxon pottery of 8th-9th century date was recovered by archaeologists on the site of the old manor in 2011. By 1279, the number of households increased to 32.

A survey drawn up in 1301 after the death of Richard Gobion (the lord of the manor), lists that the village had a manor, windmill, 2 fish ponds and 20 tenants. It is believed that evidence of what is possibly the mill mound has been located at the eastern end of the deserted medieval village, opposite the new Knaptoft Hall Farm complex. By 1507 the lord of the manor, William Turpin, enclosed the open fields in favour of sheep-farming. Many of the villagers were believed to have been rehoused in the neighbouring village of Shearsby. Following the death of William Turpin, in 1523, a subsidy assessment the following year listed only five labourers and the lord of the manor. A map of Warwickshire and Leicestershire, produced by Christopher Saxton as part of his Atlas of England and Wales in 1576 clearly shows Knaptoft, but no indication of the village size shown. A survey in 1624 again lists five labourers alongside a church and a manor. A visit by the printer and author John Nichols noted that five freeholders were polled in Knaptoft in 1719, and by 1775, there were none. In 1778, it was recorded that out of the 1,370 acres of parish land, 141 belonged to Thomas Turvile, esq. and the rest belonged to the Duke of Rutland, as ‘Lord of the Manor’. By 1790, the village had 7 houses but the manor Hall was now in a derelict state. The ancient parish of Knaptoft included the chapelries of Shearsby, Mowsley and the hamlet of Walton in Knaptoft, all of which became separate civil parishes in 1866. By the 1870s, the village listed 7 houses, along with 54 residents.

Knaptoft Manor and Estate
Prior to 1066, Harding (son of Alnoth) was the Anglo-Saxon Lord over numerous settlements within the Guthlaxton Wapentake (Hundred) which included Knaptoft. By the time of the Domesday survey, the Earl Aubrey (of Coucy), of Norman origin, was recorded as the Lord of the estate. During the reign of Henry III, the Gobion family took lordship of the Manor up until 1300 when through marriage to Elizabeth Gobion, the Paynel family claimed lordship of the manor. A survey recorded in 1301 mentions a manor house with enclosed garden and two fish ponds. By 1417 the lordship moved to the Turpin family, again through marriage via Margaret Paynel’s daughter. It was during the time of the Turpin’s that a significant change of farming practice signalled a decline in the village population. In 1507, William Turpin enclosed the fields around Knaptoft for sheep-pasture, and most of the inhabitants were relocated. At the same time, orchards and formal gardens were developed on the grounds of the manor house, now known to be situated on the western end of the village, behind the church. Between the years 1525-1530 the manor house is believed to have been destroyed by fire, and a new Hall built in its place, by the Turpin family. Archaeological evidence reveals that the “Hall was built of red brick with stone quoins and mullions, with a slate roof.” The hall remained in the Turpin family until 1648, where it is locally believed that the Hall, along with the church, was sacked by Oliver Cromwell's Roundhead forces in June 1645 whilst in pursuit of the fleeing defeated Royalist army. After the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, the Hall and lands were passed to the Duke of Rutland.

The printer and author, John Nichols noted in 1792, that the Hall was abandoned and was showing significant signs of decay. He went on to describe the house:

""[The old Hall] had a circular tower or bastion, of brick and stone, embattled, and was probably built by John Turpin in the reign of Henry VII and enlarged, or at least embellished, by Sir William Turpin, in the reign of either Elizabeth or James…""

Nichols returned to Knaptoft 15 years later and described the old Hall by this stage as a ruin. The remains of the Tudor Hall buildings were used for farming into the 1800s before a new farmhouse was built in 1843. In 1869, the Duke of Rutland sold the estate and a new farmhouse eventually replaced the Victorian building in 1931.

The surviving remains of the Tudor Hall were listed as a Grade II listed building in 2014 and in 2019, the farmhouse and its associated buildings were demolished to make way for new housing. All of the surviving Grade II listed structures from the old Tudor Manor were preserved and incorporated into the new buildings as testament to their historical and architectural significance.

Church
The village Church of St. Nicholas is now a ruin and is a Grade II listed building. The earliest reference to the parish church is 1143, and c.1220, Roger de Merley was the Patron of Knaptoft church. It has been recorded that the church was built in 1279 and the surviving remains of the church do appear to be of 13th century date, but work made to consolidate the remaining walls in the early 20th century has made it difficult to confirm. In 1625, the village purchased a bell for the church and in 1630 the church was noted to be still standing. It is thought, however, to have been sacked and destroyed by Oliver Cromwell's Roundhead forces after the Battle of Naseby in June 1645 whilst in pursuit of the fleeing defeated Royalist army. Evidence supports that a skirmish occurred here, based on archaeological finds. But it has been suggested that the church was already abandoned by this stage. By 1792, the church was recorded to be in ruin, with much of its fabric used to repair local roads.

20th century
Renewed interest in the village manifests itself when consolidation of the church walls, as a measure to preserve the remaining structure was funded by the wealthy philanthropist and former High Sheriff of Leicestershire, Henry Truman Mills, in 1932. A few years later, research by the economic geographer and historian W. G. Hoskins, brought attention to numerous deserted medieval villages throughout Leicestershire - including Knaptoft - and encouraged research on the subject. Hoskins later became editor of ‘The Victoria County History of the County of Leicester. Volume 2’, published in 1969, which features Knaptoft (pages 194-195). In 1954, the site of the deserted medieval village (located east of the Church car park) was formally listed as a Scheduled Monument.

It is understood that the landscape historian and archaeologists John G. Hurst and Maurice W. Beresford formed the ‘Deserted Medieval Village Research Group’ while on visit to Knaptoft in 1964.

A few years later, in celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee, a commemorative plaque of Knaptoft and its church was installed in the ruins by the Harborough District Council in 1977.

Knaptoft today
Today, the Church of Saint Nicholas is a roofless ruin but still contains headstones and its stone font. Open air church services continue to be held at the church at 3pm on the third Sunday of June, July, August and September. There is a free car park next to the church that is capable of holding up to 26 cars.

The Grade II listed remains of the Old Tudor Hall can now be observed incorporated in the new housing, situated behind the Church ruins. If you walk to the end of the lane and head left down the public footpath, you will find the two original fish ponds.

Coarse fishing at the Knaptoft medieval fishponds further downhill (Knaptoft Hall Farm) are commercially open. These ponds were individually restored between 1976 and 1981, and were populated by a small number of Roach, Rudd, and Tench that were brought in from the existing medieval fishponds downhill from the new houses built on the site of the old Tudor Hall.

Notable residents

 * Sir George Turpin (1529–1583), was an English Member of Parliament.
 * John Moore (d.1619), was an author, church minister and Parson of Knaptoft.

WLYN

WLYN is a brokered time radio station in the Greater Boston area broadcasting ethnic programming. The station is licensed to Lynn, Massachusetts, and is owned by Multicultural Broadcasting. Its programming is broadcast on 1360 kHz on the AM band.

History
WLYN first signed on the air on December 11, 1947, as a daytime-only station. It operated at 500 watts, and the transmitter was located near the Fox Hill Bridge. The opening was covered by the city's two local newspapers, the Lynn Daily Evening Item and the Lynn Telegram-News. The new station's president was A. (Avigdor) M. "Vic" Morgan, a veteran broadcaster who had been involved with mechanical television in TV's formative years; he had been the general manager of the Shortwave & Television Company in Boston in the early 1930s. Among the air-staff were greater Boston radio veterans like Ned French and Raymond Knight. In charge of women's programming as well as public affairs and educational programs was Dorothy Rich; Mrs. Rich was also the radio director at Endicott Junior College in Beverly, Massachusetts.

The station was sold on March 3, 1950, to Brookline businessman Theodore "Ted" Feinstein. (Feinstein also would own other smaller market stations, including WNBP in Newburyport and WTSA in Brattleboro, Vermont.) For many years, WLYN served the North Shore with local programming, local news, local high school sports, and talk shows that focused on local issues. WLYN played mainly popular music, and in the 1950s and 1960s, it continued to employ well-known announcers who had worked at other greater Boston area stations. They included John "Jack" Chadderton, Hank Forbes, Chris Clausen, talk host Morgan Baker (formerly of WEEI in Boston) and Johnny Towne. Later, WLYN switched to nostalgia and big-band music, hiring well-known veteran broadcasters like Bill Marlowe. For a brief period of time in the mid-1970s, the station also experimented with country music, but this was unsuccessful.

In 1948, WLYN's president A.M. Morgan also put an FM station on the air; WLYN-FM used the 101.7 frequency. For many years, it simulcast WLYN during the day and had its own programming after the AM signed off at sunset. In the early 1970s, responding to an influx of Spanish-speaking immigrants, both WLYN and WLYN-FM began offering an hour of programming in Spanish each Sunday.

By the mid-1970s, WLYN-FM had begun broadcasting Greek and Italian ethnic programming in the midday and late evening hours, with drive times still simulcast with the AM. In 1981, WLYN-FM began broadcasting a nighttime block of "new wave" rock music which eventually became a 24/7 modern rock format in 1982 when the midday ethnic programs were moved to the AM side. In February 1983, WLYN-FM was sold to Stephen Mindich, owner of the Boston Phoenix, and in early April it was on the air under new call letters—WFNX; the new station retained for the most part the modern-rock format that had been launched by the previous owners, and subsequently expanded upon it. (101.7 is now WBWL.)

Since the early 1980s, WLYN has continued to broadcast ethnic programming, and now broadcasts 24 hours a day, with reduced nighttime power. WLYN broadcast in AM Stereo until the end of 2006.

Helen Pitts Douglass

Helen Pitts Douglass (1838–1903) was an American suffragist, known for being the second wife of Frederick Douglass. She also created the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, which became the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site.

Early life and education
She was born in Honeoye, New York, in 1838. Her parents were activists in the abolitionist and suffragist movements. Pitts graduated from Mount Holyoke College (then called the Mount Holyoke Female Seminary) in 1859. After her graduation, she returned to her parents' home in Honeoye.

After the American Civil War, she taught at the Hampton Institute, a school that educated black men and women. While teaching at the institution, she caused local controversy by accusing several local residents of directing insults and abuse towards her students, resulting in their arrest. In 1882, Helen moved to Uniontown in Washington, D.C. to live with her uncle, where she lived next door to Frederick Douglass's home, Cedar Hill.

Activism
She was active in the women's rights movement and co-edited The Alpha, with Caroline Winslow, in Washington. In 1882, Douglass hired Helen as a clerk in the office of the Recorder of Deeds in Washington, to which he had just been assigned. Because he was writing his autobiography, Life and Times of Frederick Douglass and was often lecturing, Helen aided him frequently in his work.

Marriage to Frederick Douglass
Douglass's first wife, Anna Murray Douglass, died on August 4, 1882. After almost a year and a half of depression, Douglass married Helen on January 24, 1884. They were married by the Rev. Francis J. Grimké, a prominent African American preacher.

The marriage was generally the subject of scorn by both white and black residents in the town, though the Douglasses were firm in their convictions. "Love came to me, and I was not afraid to marry the man I loved because of his color," she said. Douglass laughingly commented, "This proves I am impartial. My first wife was the color of my mother and the second, the color of my father."

A main source of support was Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who said: "In defense of the right to ... marry whom we please – we might quote some of the basic principles of our government [and] suggest that in some things individual rights to tastes should control." Helen and Frederick were married for eleven years, until his sudden death from a heart attack in 1895. They did not have any children together. Frederick had five children with his first wife Anna: Lewis, Frederick Jr., Charles, Rosetta, and Annie.

Building a memorial to Frederick Douglass
Douglass's will left Cedar Hill to Helen, but it lacked the number of witnesses needed in bequests of real estate and was ruled invalid. Helen suggested to his children and their spouses that they agree to set Cedar Hill apart as a memorial to their father and deed it to a board of trustees. The children declined, insisting that the estate be sold and the money divided among all the heirs.

With borrowed money, Helen bought the property, and then devoted the rest of her life to planning and establishing the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association. Besides effecting passage of the law incorporating the association, she worked to raise funds to maintain the estate. For eight years, she lectured throughout the northeast.

During the last year of her life, Helen was ill and unable to lecture, as well as discouraged by the falling off of contributions for her cause. She begged the Rev. Francis Grimke not to let her work fall by the wayside in her absence. He suggested that if the mortgage on Cedar Hill should not be paid off in her lifetime, money from the sale of the property should go to two college scholarships in her and Frederick's names. She agreed on the condition that the scholarships be in Douglass's name only.

Death
Helen Pitts Douglass died in 1903, aged 65 years old. She wished to be buried on the site of Cedar Hill but laws at this time prevented it. She had no funeral or memorial service and was quietly buried next to Frederick Douglass in Rochester. After her death, the $5,500 mortgage was reduced to $4,000, and the National Association of Colored Women, led by Mary B. Talbert of Buffalo, New York, raised funds to buy Cedar Hill.

Now administered by the National Park Service, the home is open for tours to inform visitors of Douglass's contributions to freedom.

Baba Looey

Baba Looey is a fictional Mexican donkey that appeared in The Quick Draw McGraw Show. He is the deputy and familiar to Sheriff Quick Draw McGraw. He speaks English with a Mexican accent. He was originally voiced by Daws Butler.

Character
Baba Looey, McGraw's sidekick, is often portrayed as the more thoughtful half of the duo. At times realizing some detail about a given situation, Baba Looey tries desperately to caution Quick Draw of a trap or other danger, before Quick Draw charges headlong into the fray without listening or giving consideration to his surroundings. His identity of masked vigilante is El Kapoli, "champion of champions" as he declared. In the episode "Dizzy Desperado", he gets knocked in the head and switches to the criminal Little Cucaracha.

Popular culture

 * Gary Dell'Abate, the executive producer of The Howard Stern Show, received his nickname "Baba Booey" from his mispronunciation of Baba Looey. On July 26, 1990, Dell'Abate mistakenly called Baba Looey "Baba B ooey" during a discussion of original cartoon cels, saying that he was thinking about getting "Quick Draw McGraw and Baba Booey" cels next. Dell'Abate is now more infamously known by "Baba Booey" than his own name.
 * In the Daria episode "Lane Miserables", Trent asks the title character, "Why did Quick Draw McGraw hang around with that freaky little mule?"
 * The name is a satirical portmanteau of "Babalú" which is a traditional Cuban song that Desi Arnaz made popular in the United States and uy which is a Spanish interjection.

Other appearances

 * In an episode of The Brady Bunch, Marcia can be seen watching Baba Looey and Quick Draw McGraw on TV.
 * Baba Looey, along with Quick Draw McGraw, makes an appearance in the Samurai Jack episode "The Good, The Bad, and the Beautiful", voiced by Greg Burson.
 * He appears in the Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law episode "Guitar Control", voiced by Rob Paulsen. He is seen hanging out with Peanut and shows him Quick Draw's guitars. Peanut wonders how it works and kills Baba Looey with it.
 * Baba Looey made a brief cameo in a MetLife commercial in 2012.
 * In the Drawn Together episode "Breakfast Food Killer", Baba Looey made an appearance going by the name "Baba Booey". He was waiting in line to become the new mascot of Quackers cereal and randomly started jumping around and attacking people.
 * Baba Looey appears in the series Jellystone! and is female and Cuban in this version called "Bobbie Louie" due to the character being voiced by Jenny Lorenzo. She works for the Jellystone government and has an American accent.
 * Baba Looey and Quick Draw McGraw make a cameo as silhouettes in the 2020 Animaniacs revival segment "Suffragette City".

Penny Sharpe

Penelope Gail Sharpe (born 22 October 1970) is an Australian politician. She has served as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council since 2005, representing the Labor Party. Since March 2023, Sharpe is the Leader of the Government in the Legislative Council and the Vice-President of the Executive Council since Labor's election victory in March 2023, having previously served as leader of the opposition in the Legislative Council between 2021 and 2023.

In the Labor Party leadership contest in November 2018, Sharpe was elected Deputy Leader under Michael Daley. After Daley's resignation in the aftermath of the March 2019 state election, Sharpe became interim Leader, serving until the June leadership election, which she did not contest. She was succeeded as leader by Jodi McKay and as deputy leader by Yasmin Catley.

Sharpe was briefly absent from the Legislative Council in 2015 when she resigned to contest the Legislative Assembly seat of Newtown at the 2015 state election. Newtown was a new seat partially replacing Carmel Tebbutt's abolished seat of Marrickville, which had been left open by Tebbutt's retirement. Sharpe was defeated in Newtown by Greens candidate Jenny Leong, and was subsequently re-appointed to the Legislative Council to fill her own vacancy.

Sharpe, a mother of three, was the first open lesbian to serve in the New South Wales parliament. Sharpe is aligned with the Labor Left faction.

Early life
Sharpe was born in Canberra, but later moved to Sydney. She studied food technology at the University of New South Wales, where she became involved in student politics. She was elected president of the University of New South Wales Student Guild in 1993, the same year that she met her long-term partner, Jo Tilly. Sharpe rose to national prominence the following year when she became president of the National Union of Students. As president, she was involved in a national campaign against the Keating Labor government's higher education reforms, as well as in the partially successful Victorian battle against attempts by its Liberal government to introduce voluntary student unionism there.

Sharpe was a co editor of Party Girls: Labor Women, a book about the role of women in politics. She was a Marrickville Council councillor from 2004 to 2008. At the March 2004 local government elections, Sharpe was elected as a Councillor for West Ward of Marrickville Council, serving a single term until September 2008.

Member of the Legislative Council (2005–2015)
Sharpe's official appointment to the Legislative Council was announced in late September 2005, which immediately caused substantial media attention due to her status as a lesbian mother—particularly as she would now be sitting alongside the likes of conservative Liberal David Clarke and Christian Democratic Party firebrand Fred Nile. She largely refused to comment on her private life in the subsequent fracas, but announced her policy goals as improving access to education and eliminating discrimination against gay parents. She has also made clear her intention to confront Clarke and Nile on gay rights issues; a stance that was heavily reflected in her maiden speech to parliament.

2015 state election
In March 2015, Sharpe resigned from the Legislative Council to contest the lower house seat of Newtown at the 2015 state election. She was unsuccessful, with Jenny Leong of the Greens winning the seat, and subsequently announced her intention to contest preselection to be re-appointed to the vacancy caused by her own resignation.

Member of the Legislative Council (2015–present)
Sharpe played an instrumental role in achieving marriage equality for LGBTI Australians. She was a leading figure in the internal Labor Party push to shift the ALP's position to one of supporting marriage equality. As a member of the NSW Legislative Council, she moved motions and put state-based bills to the NSW Parliament. Sharpe was active in the ultimate Australian Marriage Law Survey and subsequent parliamentary reform process, campaigning publicly and has been noted as a key supporter and adviser to the likes of Campaign Director, Tim Gartrell and Labor Senate Leader, Senator Penny Wong. Senator Wong has said of the achievement of marriage equality in Australia that "change happened because of champions like Penny Sharpe, who has worked to build momentum for change in our party."

In 2018, Sharpe successfully led a cross-party process to amend the Public Health Act to legislate for 'safe-access zones', making the practice of harassing women entering clinics and hospitals providing terminations illegal. Some commentary noted that this was the first time a Bill introduced by a Labor MP had successfully passed the NSW Parliament since the ALP had lost government seven years earlier.

After the resignation of NSW Labor leader Luke Foley over sexual assault allegations, and the election of Michael Daley as his successor, Sharpe was unanimously elected Deputy Leader of the party on 10 November 2018., despite being a member of the upper house and was not a candidate for the lower house in the 2019 election. As Deputy Opposition Leader, Sharpe was the alternative Deputy Premier and the Deputy Premier has conventionally been a member of the lower house. In addition to carrying out her duties as Deputy Leader, Sharpe campaigned strongly on environmental issues during the 2019 New South Wales state election. She talked of building on the environmental reforms of the Wran and Carr governments, claiming, when she launched Labor's environment policy manifesto, that "NSW doesn't have another four years to waste to take real action on climate change and to arrest the biodiversity crisis in the state".

After Labor's defeat in the election, Daley announced his resignation. Sharpe succeeded him as interim leader. The leadership vote was scheduled for after the 2019 federal election so as not to conflict with Labor's federal campaign. It was ultimately held in June, with Jodi McKay defeating Chris Minns to win the leadership. Sharpe was set to recontest the deputy leadership, challenged by McKay's ally Yasmin Catley, but agreed to step aside and was appointed deputy leader in the Legislative Council. She was given the portfolios of Shadow Minister for Family & Community Services and Shadow Minister for Disability Inclusion in the McKay shadow cabinet.

Sharpe resigned from her portfolios on 14 May 2021 over disagreements with the party's position on the Mandatory Disease Testing Bill. The bill would require blood testing of people who might have posed a risk of bodily fluid contact with frontline workers, such as first responders who have been spat on or scratched. According to Sharpe, the bill would represent "a major departure from a scientific and medical approach to managing the communicable risk of HIV or hepatitis". Sharpe abstained from voting before her resignation, which she claimed was not related to McKay's leadership. McKay would later be forced to resign as party leader two weeks later over the party's defeat at the Upper Hunter by-election.

On 8 June 2021, Sharpe became the leader of the opposition in the Legislative Council.

Ge Fuyuan

Ge Fuyuan (格輔元; died November 7, 691 ) was a Chinese politician of the Tang dynasty and Wu Zetian's Zhou dynasty, serving briefly as a chancellor during Wu Zetian's reign.

It is not known when Ge Fuyuan was born, but it is known that he was from Bian Prefecture (汴州, roughly modern Kaifeng, Henan). Nothing is known about his father Ge Churen (格處仁), but his uncle Ge Deren (格德仁) was known for scholarship during Tang's predecessor Sui dynasty. Ge Fuyuan's brother Ge Xiyuan (格希元) served on the staff of Wu Zetian's son Li Xian and participated in Li Xian's project to write commentaries for the Book of Later Han.

Ge Fuyuan passed the imperial examination when he was young, and served in successively higher offices. As of 691, when Wu Zetian had already claimed the title of "emperor," establishing Zhou and interrupting Tang, Ge was serving as the imperial censor in charge of reviewing central government affairs (左肅政大夫, Zuo Suzheng Daifu) when Wu Zetian made him the minister of finance (地官尚書, Diguan Shangshu) and gave him the designation of Tong Fengge Luantai Pingzhangshi (同鳳閣鸞臺平章事), making him a chancellor de facto.

Just four months later, however, Ge offended Wu Zetian, as there had been a movement led by one Wang Qingzhi (王慶之) to have Wu Zetian's nephew Wu Chengsi made crown prince, displacing Wu Zetian's son Li Dan (formerly emperor until Wu Zetian took the throne in 690). Ge's senior colleague Cen Changqian opposed the movement and advocated that Wang's group of petitioners be disbanded, and Ge supported Cen. In late 691, Ge, Cen, and another chancellor Ouyang Tong were arrested by Wu Zetian's secret police official Lai Junchen and executed.

Lusca

In Caribbean folklore, the Lusca is a name given to a sea monster said to exist in the region of the blue holes nearby Andros, an island in the Bahamas.

Etymology
Clipping of Mollusca, "(Mol)lusca"; a phylum containing octopus, squid, cuttlefish, and other cephalopods. Due to how the creature always appears with some mollusk feature or form therefore such as tentacles or arms.

Description
It is described as a giant octopus, a giant cuttlefish, or a half shark, half octopus. The lusca is said to grow over 75 ft long, but no cases have been proven of octopus species growing up to even half these lengths.

In popular culture
The reports of a lusca monster attacking swimmers and divers was investigated by Jeremy Wade, the host of the television series River Monsters, in the episode "Terror in Paradise" (season eight, episode four). After investigating reef sharks, tiger sharks, and the giant Pacific octopus, Wade settles on a large octopus being the most likely culprit for being the lusca monster.

A Caribbean Film Festival, Lusca Fantastic Film Fest, was named after this sea monster; the festival is an annual event held in Puerto Rico. It is the first and only international fantastic film festival in the Caribbean.

The survival video game Stranded Deep features an enemy giant squid named Lusca the Great.

In the HGTV series Renovation Island—which revolves around Bryan and Sarah Baeumler's efforts to renovate a resort in South Andros—the main restaurant at the resort is named Lusca in honor of the sea creature.

In Dave the Diver, after collecting every single animal on Marinaca, Sato will tell you to find Lusca.

The creature appears as the main antagonist of the 2010 film Sharktopus.

Piping nationality links
Firstly, welcome from me too! Please check out the Scottish Wikipedians' notice board.

I notice that you have been piping nationality links to the "X people" articles, eg. Scottish. Having worked on thousands of biography articles, I can say without hesitation that the overwhelming consensus is to pipe thus: If this is doubted in any way, perhaps we could consult the good folks at WikiProject Biography? (Apart from anything else, those "X people" articles are utterly, utterly appalling rubbish in my experience: full of POV, edit warring, AFD's and many other such delights: probably because they tend to focus on pseudo-ethnicity theories, rather than civil society, which is the strength of the country articles.) --Mais oui! 16:49, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Motto of the day
Hello, I notice you're using one of the motd templates, run by Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hers fold  (t/a/c) 01:43, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest
I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 01:49, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
