Wayward
Final (17/3/2), ended 02:00 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm quite honored to nominate for Wayward for adminship. He's been around since February and has over 2000 edits. For those who know, Wayward quietly copyedits many of the featured article candidates and many other articles with a rather decieving "minor edit" (which, if one looks at one such as its rather major for a minor edit). Anyway, Wayward also reverts a bit of vandalism every now and then (with a decieving admin-like edit summary) and I think he could use the REAL revert button. Give him the mop!! :) Ryan Norton T 02:03, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I humbly accept RN's gracious nomination. —Wayward 03:35, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Support
 * 1) Support as the nom :) Ryan Norton T 02:03, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Support CambridgeBayWeather 02:22, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Support for no obvious reason. — J I P | Talk 07:54, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Merovingian (t) (c) 15:23, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) Support. He has shown a firm understanding of our policies, and I am sure he will use the tools wisely. Copyediting is a vastly underrated task in Wikipedia, Wayward is a prime example of a user making a very valuable contribution without necessarily adding reams of content. Rje 15:58, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 6) Support copyediting is more relevant to administrating than writing is. 2000 edits is more than enough. freestylefrappe 23:05, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 7) Support Good editor. Give him a mop.  --Rogerd 01:14, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 8) Support. Copyediting is a much-needed task, and users shouldn't be looked down on for focusing on it. --Aquillion 05:35, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 10) Fir  e  Fo  x  16:40, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 11) Support. Stereotyping "acceptable editing behaviors" for adminship seems counterproductive. Besides, Wikipedia needs better writing more than it needs new articles. Bunchofgrapes (talk) 02:12, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 12) Support. Seems unlikely to cause destruction. --Bjarki 02:47, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 15) Good candidate. Nice to see a normal editor for a change. --Tony Sidaway Talk  04:41, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 16) Support so long as you work on using more usertalk, especially in dealing with vandals:)--MONGO 08:27, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 18) Support Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk   00:59, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Oppose
 * 1) An admin should ideally contribute more to articles than simple copyediting. I think more experience of writing articles from scratch, or contributing to existing articles is necessary attribute for an admin. Astrotrain 14:23, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose Same reason as given by Astrotrain. Privat  e   Butcher  20:44, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) An admin should not regularly violate Wikipedia policy.  In this case, the nominee's besetting sin is a lack of respect for previous editors' national spelling. Examples:    Shimmin 12:32, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I strongly disagree with your assessment of my respect for other editors. I have never attempted to foist upon an article my preferred version of English. When I begin to edit an article, I try to determine what variety of English is most prevalent and standardize on that. Once I mistakenly changed an article from one version of English to another. It was brought to my attention on my talk page, and I apologized and changed the article back. As for the articles you site as evidence of my misdeeds, please take a look at the versions prior to my edits.. Run any of those versions through a spell checker and you will see that they contain a mix of both American and British English. I did my best to standardize on one version of English. I may be a lot of things, but I am not disrespectful to anyone, and I do not push any particular version of English. I hope you will look into the links I have provided and perhaps you will change your opinion of me. —Wayward Talk 13:38, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 1) Oppose per Journalist 7 talk page edits way too few --JAranda'' | watz sup 01:16, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Neutral Comments
 * 1) I really want to support, as he is a very good editor (plus I trust the nominator), but 7 usertalk namespace edits are just too few. →Jo urna list   >>talk<<  21:00, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Journalist. the wub  "?!"  11:48, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Whoops - fixed voting link. Blame the nominator please :). Ryan Norton T 02:25, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)

 * A. I already revert vandalism, check for poor edits, and delete link spam of the articles on my watch list. As an admin I would expand my efforts to speedy deletions, page protection, and other admin functions as I become familiar with them.

2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

 * A. That's a tough one as I'm mostly a copyeditor. I would have to say I take the most pleasure in copyediting feature article candidates, putting the finishing touches on the best of what Wikipedia has to offer. In addition to copyediting, I have added footnotes to a number of articles, including feature articles Exploding Whale and Tooth Enamel. I am also active in reverting vandalism and participating in MoS discussion.

3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

 * A. I haven't had a conflict with anyone so far. And while I have strong religious and political convictions, I check them at the Wikipedia door. However, I do avoid editing a handful of articles which I feel I maybe too emotional invested in. As far as dealing with future problems, I don't think I'll have any: I'll continue to contribute to those articles which I can and avoid the few which I feel uncomfortable with.

Talk:The Knickerbockers

Untitled
This brief article is merely a recollection of seeing the Knickerbockers LIVE at the Carosel theatre in West Covina, California. I think that the theatre had been torn down for something else. Anyway, they were there playing with The Young Rascals and they come on stage and did an excellent live show, especially considering their equipment which almost any bar band's stuff would blow away nowadays. I especially remember the guitar parts with that unique sound. I recall him playing a Mosrite guitar which may account for that distinctive distortion. Also, I remember the crisp vocal harmonies and the Beatle sound they projected. All in all, a memorable performance. Obviously, this was in the 60's and I really look back on that period of time with great feeling. If I could go back in a time machine, I would go back to that period. (Of course I would be a bit older and wiser and have the knowledge of today, and, still look cool). Just wanted to share the experience and vibe of that moment.

Does he play Sax?
Alright, this may be way off, but I watched a clip of "Lies," (from YouTube) and at the part where the lead singer (Buddy Randell) goes to play the saxophone, you don't hear a thing. According to a comment on this page, he was a shy person who didn't want to look like he had nothing to hold, so they gave him a sax... however this article suggests that he played. Does anyone know more about this? My older brother went to high school with Bob and John Chichchino{Beau and John Charles}They would hang at our house after school. Bob took an interest in me and would coach me on sax. In a few years, I too would have a record out on the radio! Any way, Buddy Randell was a child prodogy on sax. He appeared on the Ed Sullavan show as a chid. Later to go on and join The Royal Teens[It's him saying" Who's that crazy Chick" and playing all the horn parts on that record. Bob Gaudio, one of the original "Four Seasons" was also in the band. There was alot of talent out of bergenfield in those years!

Gutkeled (gens)

Gutkeled (spelling variants: Gut-Keled, Guthkeled, Guth-Keled) was the name of a gens (Latin for "clan"; nemzetség in Hungarian) in the Kingdom of Hungary, to which a number of Hungarian noble families belong.

History
The primary source of their origins is the Gesta Hungarorum of Simon of Kéza, in which the author writes:

 * Sed postea, tempore Petri regis Kelad et Gut intrant tres frateres ex gente Svevorum procreati. De castello Stof sunt nativi.
 * ″But afterwards, during the reign of king Peter, Kelad and Gut three brothers of Swabian descent immigrated. They were born at the castle of Stof.″

The castle "Stof" is assumed to be a corruption of Stauf, meaning either castle Stauf in Staufen im Breisgau or the Hohenstaufen castle in Württemberg. The king mentioned is Péter Orseolo, placing the arrival of the Gutkeleds to Hungary sometime around the 1040s.

Noble families
Some of the Hungarian noble families descending from the Gutkeleds are:
 * Adonyi
 * Apagyi
 * Atyai
 * Báthory
 * Benyó
 * Daróczi
 * Diószegi
 * Dobi
 * Gacsályi
 * Guthi
 * Kenézy
 * Kun
 * Országs ( Horsák )
 * Pelbárthidi
 * Rozsályi
 * Szemesi
 * Maróthy
 * Várdai

Notable members

 * Apaj Gutkeled, Ban of Slavonia (1237–1239)
 * Nicholas I Gutkeled, Ban of Slavonia (1240–1241), killed in the Battle of Mohi
 * Stephen I Gutkeled, Ban of Slavonia (1248–1260)
 * Nicholas II Gutkeled, Ban of Slavonia (1278–1279)
 * Joachim Gutkeled, Ban of Slavonia (died in April 1277)

Ruby in Paradise

Ruby in Paradise is a 1993 film written and directed by Victor Nunez, starring Ashley Judd, Todd Field, Bentley Mitchum, Allison Dean, and Dorothy Lyman. An homage to Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, the film is a character study about a young woman who escapes her small town in Tennessee for a new life in coastal Florida. The film marks Judd’s first starring role.

The film won the Grand Jury Prize for Dramatic Feature at the 1993 Sundance Film Festival. It was also nominated for six Independent Spirit Awards, with Judd winning for Best Female Lead.

Plot
Ruby is a woman in her early 20s and the narrator of the film. She leaves her small town in Tennessee after her mother dies, ultimately landing in Panama City, Florida, a summer resort town she visited as a child. She arrives in Panama City (nicknamed "Redneck Riviera") in the fall, the beginning of the off-season when tourism is slow. Despite this, Ruby manages to get a job at Chambers Beach Emporium, a souvenir store run by Mildred Chambers. Mildred rejects Ruby’s application initially, but Ruby wins her over by telling her, "I've done retail before, and I work real cheap."

Over the course of a year Ruby keeps a journal where she contemplates her career ups and downs, her love life, her past, and her future. Ruby's introspective narration is interspersed with routine scenes at the souvenir store, and conversations with her friend Rochelle or the men she dates, Ricky and Mike.

Cast

 * Ashley Judd as Ruby Lee Gissing
 * Todd Field as Mike McCaslin
 * Bentley Mitchum as Ricky Chambers
 * Allison Dean as Rochelle Bridges
 * Dorothy Lyman as Mildred Chambers
 * Betsy Douds as Debrah Ann
 * Felicia Hernández as Persefina

Production
When Victor Nuñez originally pitched the film to distributors, he found they were uninterested: "I was told flat outright -- and these were very reputable distributors of independent films -- 'no one is interested in a film about a female shop clerk in Panama City.' Now, you can say what they really were saying was 'shop clerk Panama City,' but the message was a woman, you know, as in the lead role," Nuñez said.

He considered changing the gender of the lead to a man, but didn’t find the story sufficiently interesting to him, reasoning "For one thing and I think it's changing to some degree, American men, by and large, don't allow as many vulnerabilities to be acknowledged and to be explored."

Ruby in Paradise was filmed on Super 16 on location in Panama City, Florida at locations including Show N Tail gentleman's club and White Western Cabin.

Release
The film premiered in January 1993 at the Sundance Film Festival, where October Films acquired North American distribution rights. It was also shown at the Cannes Film Festival, the New York Film Festival, and the Boston Film Festival. The film was given a limited release in North American theaters on October 8, 1993.

Home media
After the movie's theatrical run, the film was released on videocassette and LaserDisc in 1994 by Republic Pictures. It was released on video in Canada that same year by Cineplex Odeon. In 2008, Alliance Films released the movie on DVD in Canada.

On February 16, 2021, Ruby in Paradise received a digital restoration in HD from Quiver Distribution and was made available on digital platforms.

Critical reception
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 86% from 28 reviews with the consensus: "Led by a magnetic performance from Ashley Judd, the gently subdued Ruby in Paradise perceptively captures one woman's journey of self-discovery." On Metacritic it has a score of 77% based on reviews from 25 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave it 4 stars out of 4, and wrote: "Ruby in Paradise is a wonderful, life-affirming movie about a young woman who has that kind of luck. It's a celebration of heart, courage and persistence." Ebert also picked it as one of his Top Ten Films of 1993.

Variety wrote: "Victor Nunez has returned with a film of gentle, intelligent qualities, vividly portraying a young woman's inner life."

Steve Persall of the Tampa Bay Times said, "You can tell [Nuñez] loves his home state, not from any postcard vistas—there are none in Ruby in Paradise—but from tell-tale glances at how Floridians relate to newcomers, tourists and an evolving class structure. Nunez knows there are plenty of Rubys crossing the state line every year and most won't discover a pot of gold at the end of the turnpike. His honesty is eye-opening, even to a longtime resident."

Awards and nominations
The film won the 1993 Grand Jury Prize for Drama at the Sundance Film Festival (together with Public Access). Judd's performance earned her the Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead as well as the Emerging Actress Award from the Chicago Film Critics Association. The film received Independent Spirit Award nominations for Best Film, Best Cinematography for Alex Vlacos, Best Director and Best Screenplay for Victor Nuñez, and Best Supporting Actor for Todd Field. The film was also nominated for the Grand Prix of the Belgian Syndicate of Cinema Critics.

Edit-a-thon tomorrow (Saturday) in Oakland
Hi, I hope you will be joining us tomorrow afternoon at the Edit-a-thon at Tech Liminal, in Oakland. We'll be working on articles relating to women and democracy (and anything else that interests you). It's sponsored by the California League of Women Voters, Tech Liminal, and me.

If this is the first you are hearing of this event, my apologies for the last-minute notice! I announced it on the San Francisco email list and by a banner on your watchlist, but I neglected to look at the San Francisco invitation list until this evening. If you can't make it this time, I hope to see you at a similar event soon! -Pete (talk) 04:44, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

biographies of editors of Flora Europaea etc
Hi. Many, though very belated, thanks for the barnstar you gave me on 14 July 2012. Since then I've done two more botanists namely E. F. Warburg and Werner Rothmaler, both of whom wrote or co-wrote floras. I'd be interested in any suggestions you might have as to who is still missing. Filling the gap is easiest where, as with Rothmaler, there is already an article in the wikipedia of another (European) language. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 13:34, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Vital articles discussion
Hi there. You have participated in past discussion at Wikipedia talk:Vital articles, namely about possible additions and deletions to the vital 1000 articles. There is a new, similar discussion there now, myself and other users are giving input as to whether they support or oppose the idea of certain articles being added or deleted from the vital 1000 like before. Some of the proposals have been brought up before, and some are new. There are only a small number of users giving their views but we would like more, if you are still interested we would appreciate your input there, thank you. Carlwev (talk) 15:59, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Radula (disambiguation)

The article Radula (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * There is no point to having a DAB for a single ambiguous term. This should be a hatnote instead on the unambiguous article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. Hutcher (talk) 01:09, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Radula (disambiguation)

A tag has been placed on Radula (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
 * disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
 * disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Pam D  17:01, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Re: Doctor Who Classic GA
Hi, in response to your comment at WP:WHO, really as much information on classic Doctor Who as possible is welcome. I've promoted Genesis of the Daleks and The Rescue using primarily the DVDs, and I'm working on Remembrance of the Daleks but I have two episodes to watch with information text and I'm not sure if there will still be references needed after that (if there are I can let you know). I also have DVDs for Earthshock, Day of the Daleks, The Romans, and Terror of the Autons, though I don't know when I'll be able to get to them extensively. I'd say just pick a favorite serial or something you would like to see improved. I supposed we could make a list of really notable serials...The Tenth Planet, Spearhead from Space, The Three Doctors, The Ark in Space, and The Five Doctors come to mind. But anything is appreciated! Glimmer721 talk  02:25, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Rather, I'm offering to make my resources available. I really don't have time these days to write much myself, and have other projects vying for my time. But if you are working on a story and would like me to send reference material your way, I can probably manage that. --EncycloPetey (talk) 04:36, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Splitting Cycad
Hi, you had asked me to look at splitting Cycad so that there was a place to link Medullosales. I've done what I think is a basic job. The pages could do with quite a lot of polishing, though. Do you know any good up-to-date(ish) references for generally accepted overall classifications of fossil plants, or even of the nomenclature? I didn't find my way to interesting material in this site. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 14:58, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, no. And what I have heard through paleobotanist friends is not encouraging in that respect. It's all rather piecemeal, and even well-studied groups like ferns often have the fossils left out of any cladistic study or reclassification. --EncycloPetey (talk) 18:51, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Now I won't feel like such a dummy if I ask some of them later this summer. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 19:03, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Streptophya
This issue is related to the one above by Sminthopsis84, namely that at the upper levels and outside the APG system there is no widely accepted classification of plants, whether extinct or extant. I noticed the recent edits re "streptophytes" in the Plant article. The problem is that there are two incompatible circumscriptions in current use. In the Adl et al. (2012) usage (which I think is more mainstream), Streptophyta consists only of the stoneworts (Charophyceae) and embryophytes; Charophyta is a clade well above Streptophyta. In the other usage, Charophyta is included within Streptophyta. See the Streptophyta article, which is poor at explaining the issue – it's been on my "to do" list for ages.

So I think that some qualification is needed whenever the terms "charophyte" or "streptophyte" are used; they simply don't have a well-established meaning when you don't even know which clade includes which. Peter coxhead (talk) 06:39, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

(By the way, I forgot to say that it's good to see you around here again! We need more competent plant editors.) Peter coxhead (talk) 06:45, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

 * The 2012 usage isn't mainstream yet (and may or may not be), but you do have a point. --EncycloPetey (talk) 07:26, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Note that I wrote "more" mainstream; I agree that none of the classifications are "mainstream". Even "established" classifications are less certain than they once seemed; some evidence emerged recently that bryophytes may be monophyletic after all. It makes life interesting for botanists but not easy for Wikipedia editors! Peter coxhead (talk) 07:58, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Most of the papers that purport that bryophytes are monophyletic depend on a restricted data set, and thus suffer from the likelihood of long-branch attraction resulting from noise in the one or two genes that were studied. There is also still a significant problem with undersampling of some of the major groups of taxa--a problem that has plagued all these studies in bryophytes since they started doing them. One major German paper suffered from a failure to include any vascular plants in their study, so of course the bryophytes would look like a monophyletic group in their results. This particular area was my field of study in graduate school, and I've tried to follow it as best I can since then, although lacking access to a major research library has made that difficult. --EncycloPetey (talk) 08:12, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Re: "Being here". I chime in a bit, but I'm spending most of my wiki-effort at Wikisource. I'm hoping we'll have a really good collection of sources on Ancient Greek drama, among other projects there. Though there are still a few articles I've intended to write or greatly expand for Wikipedia, and may get around to one of those sometime. --EncycloPetey (talk) 08:15, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Chiming in with Peter coxhead's welcome; it is indeed good to see you here again, whether with lots of energy or simply with your well thought-out responses to a few matters. I've been wondering if there is some database of high-level nomenclature or fossil plants that wants wiki-style contributions such as adding the data from individual papers, but haven't found such a thing. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 13:40, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

 * I've seen nothing either. At one time, I considered revising either the Equisetopsida (in the narrow sense of horsetails, calamites, sphenophylls, &c.) or the Marattiopsida, but kept finding dozens of papers out there describing new species and genera of fossils, without ever providing any synthetic articles bringing all the individual descriptions together or providing an updated classification. What I hear from my paleobotanist friends is that gymnosperms are even worse. The only collected work I ever found dealt with fossil bryophytes, and it is now very dated. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:52, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Yes, this is my experience as well as I noted briefly above. You can find individual articles giving molecular phylogenies of groups, but almost always with no attempt at a classification. There's no equivalent of the APG with an interest in synthesizing classifications for non-angiosperms. Even worse, when you do find classifications, they are often completely inconsistent with one another. The best I've found to date for fossil plants is in the article Polysporangiophyte; I keep looking for more up-to-date overall schemes, but haven't found one yet. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:26, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Bryophyta s.s. and Marchantiophyta
Hello User:EncycloPetey

I was trying to add a classification scheme that was similar to the most recent phylogeny of the Marchantiophyta. Now if we were to include only schemes that had the general concensus of the scientific community the these pages would be devoid of many current research ideas. And isn't that what Wikipedia is about, showing the general user the many and varied ideas about these topics. So the ideas might not be mainstream at this point but it shows an alternative view held by some, also it can be said Galileo's ideas weren't mainstream at the time but was vindicated subsequently. Videsh Ramsahai (talk) 13:33, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

 * I do know what you were doing, but the classification schemes you added do not have the support of any scientific consensus. They are the result of a single paper, and also not the result of a general collaboration in the scientific field. The APG classification of angiosperms was a broad collaboration. The Goffinet classification of mosses was broadly accepted by bryologists. The Smith et al. classification of ferns has a broad acceptance in the scientific literature. This cannot be said of the latest Stotler classification of liverworts. The Stotlers publish a new classification every 10-15 years themselves, and there are several competing classifications in circulation. Choosing to use just one of the newer classifications, without a reasonably broad scientific consensus, violates WP:NOR and is inappropriate for any encyclopedic publication.

 * Your edits have also been problematic in a number of other ways, such as loading information into a taxobox summary that does not appear in the article, and which should not appear in a taxobox; you have been adding footnotes in section headers; and other problems as well.

 * If you believe that Wikipedia should adopt a particular classification scheme for a major group of plants, you can discuss that proposal in the WP:PLANTS group, which helps to add, coordinate, and maintain information about plants at Wikipedia. --EncycloPetey (talk) 14:09, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Muscles
Hello EncycloPetey, would you be in favour of keeping Muscle tissue as the main covering page with pages now at Skeletal muscle, Cardiac muscle, and Smooth muscle changing to Skeletal muscle tissue, cardiac muscle tissue, and smooth muscle tissue, with info from the page Muscle merging with these other pages? I'm not really familiar with the histories but have noticed that smooth muscle was called smooth muscle tissue in the past. Thanks --Iztwoz (talk) 13:30, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * With regard to changing Skeletal muscle --> Skeletal muscle tissue (etc.) I do not think it matters either way. Each of those articles is about a specific kind of tissue, really.  But I do NOT agree to merging muscle into muscle tissue or the other pages.  The expectation from the average reader is to find a general article at Muscle, and that should be the location of the general article. Even the human anatomy articles have this expectation, with opening sentences such as "The biceps ... is a large muscle...".  The biceps is not a large muscle tissue; it is a large muscle.  --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:24, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I was just trying to find an alternative as you are clearly against the removal/merge of Muscle tissue page to Muscle. The example of biceps belongs to Skeletal muscle page as all other skeletal muscle info; still leaves no rationale for separate page of Muscle tissue imo - but it seems we agree to differ on this; thanks --Iztwoz (talk) 15:35, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Beslidhja Skaut Albania

Beslidhja Skaut Albania, more fully Organizata Skautiste Shqiptare Beslidhja Skaut Albania, is a Scouting organization in Albania. It was founded in 2004 and became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 2005, with membership terminated in 2014. The coeducational Beslidhja Skaut Albania has 1,730 members as of 2011.

The Albanian Scouting movement also previously recognized by the World Organization of the Scout Movement was Besa Skaut Albania, the Organization of Albanian Honorable Scouts, until 2005.

History

Scouting in Albania traces back to 1920, when it was first founded. In 1922, Albania was among the founders of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, remaining active until 1937 when Zog of Albania banned Scouting in Albania. After World War II, the Socialist People's Republic of Albania had the Pionieret e Enverit, the Pioneers of Enver Hoxha, a local variant of the Pioneers. Scouting quickly returned to Albania in 1989 after communism collapsed in the country, in Sarandë by Dolores and Mihal Dhima, International Commissioner and Chief Scout of Besa Scouts Albania, respectively.

In July 1999, WOSM accepted Albania again as a member. The membership of Besa Skaut Albania was terminated by the World Scout Committee in 2005, and new membership was granted to Organizata Skautiste Shqiptare Beslidhja Skaut Albania, an offshoot of the older organization. In November 2014, WOSM terminated membership of Beslidhja Skaut Albania for their inability to fulfil its basic constitutional and educational requirements, with a statement supporting the establishment of a new National Scout Organisation in Albania.

Ideals
The Beslidhja Scout Motto is Ji Gati, "Be Prepared" in Albanian. Other organizations use Pergatitu, Always Prepared in Albanian. The Albanian noun for a single Scout is Skaut.

Vermilion Light

The Vermilion Lighthouse is a lighthouse on the shores of Lake Erie in Vermilion, Ohio, USA. It is situated near the mouth of the Vermilion River. Erected on 23 October 1991 and dedicated on 6 June 1992, the lighthouse is illuminated by a 200 watt incandescent light bulb with a 5th order Fresnel lens. The lighthouse's United States Coast Guard-mandated light color is steady red.

The current lighthouse is a 34-foot (10.4 meters) replica of the previous Vermilion Lighthouse that had been removed in 1929. Following a multi-year fundraising campaign headed by local historian Theodore Wakefield, the replica was built by the Great Lakes Historical Society using $55,000 in public contributions. Designed by architect Robert Lee Tracht of Huron, Ohio, groundbreaking for the lighthouse occurred on 24 July 1991.

History
The first Vermilion Lighthouse was a wooden structure that was built in 1847 by a $3,000 grant from the Congress of the United States. In 1859 the lighthouse received a $5000 renovation that rebuilt the structure and added a whale oil lamp and 6th order Fresnel lens. In 1866 Congress appropriated funds to build a new, permanent lighthouse made from iron. Cast in Buffalo, New York in three tapering octagonal sections, the iron used for the lighthouse was recycled from smooth-bored Columbian cannons that had been rendered obsolete after the Battle of Fort Sumter in the American Civil War. As Vermilion native Ernest Wakefield wrote, “The iron, therefore, of the 1877 Vermilion lighthouse echoed and resonated with the terrible trauma of the War Between the States.” The ironworkers used sand molds of three tapering rings, octahedral in shape.

Completed in 1877, the new lighthouse was 34 ft high and had an oil lantern with a 5th order Fresnel lens. In 1919 the oil lantern was replaced with an acetylene light. After it was discovered to be leaning to one side, in 1929 the lighthouse was removed and replaced with an 18 ft steel tower. The old iron lighthouse was transported back to Buffalo where it was later renovated and reinstalled as the East Charity Shoal Light on the Saint Lawrence Seaway in 1935.

Edward Francis Rimbault

Edward Francis Rimbault (13 June 1816 – 26 September 1876) was a British organist, musicologist, book collector and author.

Life
Rimbault was born in Soho, London, to a family of French Huguenot extraction that had emigrated to England in 1685 after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. His father, Stephen Francis Rimbault, was an organist, arranger and composer. The younger Rimbault was taught music by his father, Samuel Wesley and William Crotch. At age 16, he became organist of the Swiss Church in Soho. His career as a lecturer, for which he was much in demand, began in 1838.

Rimbault edited many collections of music. In addition to editing or arranging contemporary operas, Rimbault took a strong interest in editing or arranging earlier English music. He did editorial work for the Percy Society, the Camden Society, the Motett Society (founded 1841 by William Dyce), and the Handel Society. He was a co-founder of the Musical Antiquarian Society in 1840, for which he also did editing. In 1842, he was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and was granted membership in the Academy of Music in Stockholm, which conferred on him a Ph.D. The reputation of his work was such that he was offered a teaching position at Harvard University, which he turned down. In 1848, he was given an honorary degree by the University of Oxford.

He authored several books, including Bibliotheca Madrigaliana: A Bibliographical Account of the Musical and Poetical Works Published in England During the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, Under the Titles of Madrigals, Ballets, Ayres, Canzonets, Etc., Etc. (1847), [http://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/001466881 ''The Pianoforte, Its Origin, Process, and Construction; With Some Account of Instruments of the Same Class Which Preceded It; Viz. the Clavichord, the Virginal, the Spinet, the Harpsichord, Etc.; to Which is Added a Selection of Interesting Specimens of Music Composed for Keyed-Stringed Instruments] (1860), Early English Organ Builders and Their Works (1865), co-authored The Organ: Its History and Construction'' (1855) with Edward John Hopkins, and many others. He did a small amount of composing. Among his efforts is a tune for Philip Doddridge's O Happy Day, That Fixed My Choice and added the refrain (1854).

A. Hyatt King suggested that Rimbault may be best remembered for his magnificent library, which contained many rare items.

He died on 26 September 1876 and was buried on the western side of Highgate Cemetery. His grave (no.3153) no longer has a headstone or any marker. After his death, Rimbault's library was auctioned by Sotheby, Wilkinson and Hodge from 31 July to 5 August 1877, with many materials going to the British Library. About 300 lots (nearly 600 items) were purchased by Joseph Sabin who was acting as agent for Joseph W. Drexel. Upon his death in 1888, the Drexel Collection was bequeathed to the Lenox Library, a precursor of the New York Public Library. Today, the Drexel Collection forms part of the Music Division of the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.

Human Trafficking (miniseries)

Human Trafficking is a television miniseries about an American Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent going undercover to stop an organization from trafficking people, and shows the struggles of three trafficked women. It premiered in the United States on Lifetime Television on October 24 and 25, 2005 and was broadcast in Canada on Citytv on January 2 and 3, 2006. It stars Mira Sorvino, Donald Sutherland, Rémy Girard, and Robert Carlyle.

Plot
In Prague, Czech Republic, single mother Helena (Isabelle Blais) is seduced by a successful, handsome man and travels with him to spend a weekend in Vienna, Austria. He then sells her to a human trafficking ring and she is brought to New York City to work as a sex slave. In Kyiv, Ukraine, sixteen-year-old Nadia (Laurence Leboeuf) enters a modelling competition, without her father's knowledge. She is selected by the bogus model agency to travel to New York with the other selected candidates, where she is forced into a life of sexual slavery. Nadia and Helena are placed in the same house in Washington and become friends.

In Manila, Philippines, twelve-year-old American tourist Annie Gray (Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse) is abducted in front of her mother in a busy street by sex traffickers. She is forced into a child brothel which primarily services sex tourists, overseen by an Australian man, Tommy.

In common, the girls become victims of a powerful international network of sex traffickers led by the powerful Sergei Karpovich (Robert Carlyle).

In New York, after the third death of young Eastern European prostitutes, Russian-American NYPD Detective Kate Morozov (Mira Sorvino) suspects that these women are being "trafficked" by human trafficking gangs. Kate becomes a Special Agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under her new boss, Bill Meehan (Donald Sutherland), the Special Agent-In-Charge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's New York Field Office.

At a party worked by Sergei's girls, Nadia attempts escape but is caught. As punishment, Helena is moved to a location in New York City.

Kate busts a salon where girls are being trafficked from the basement. One of the rescued girls is Helena. She tells Kate about her daughter in Prague, who is successfully rescued by Czech police before Karpovich's men can abduct her. Helena also mentions Sergei Karpovich and implores Kate to find Nadia. However, Helena is killed by a sniper bullet shortly after being moved to protective custody.

In Manila, Annie's mother remains to search for her daughter while her husband returns to the US. Meanwhile, Annie is held at a child brothel, awaiting transportation to the Middle East. She manages to call her mother and they overhear Tommy talking in the background. They later identify Tommy on the street and the brothel is identified by the police.

In Kyiv, Nadia's father Viktor stresses about Nadia's disappearance. He locates details of the modelling agency and infiltrates the organisation by bonding with one of Karpovich's men. He is sent to Mexico City to help transport another shipment of girls. He is eventually sent to Washington, where he and Nadia are secretly reunited.

Using information from Helena, Kate locates the Washington brothel. While Nadia is away, ICE raid the brothel. Kate chases Viktor but when he mentions he is trying to rescue his daughter, she lets him escape. Nadia and Viktor are reunited in New York City.

Karpovich gives the name of the Manila brothel to his doctor. ICE raid the brothel and Dr Smith is arrested. However, Tommy is warned by a local police officer on the take and Annie and the other children are smuggled out just in time. The doctor gives the authorities Karpovich's name. Meanwhile, Annie and the other children are locked in a shipping container, awaiting their transportation. Due to missing paperwork and Tommy's execution, the container is abandoned on the docks.

Having no luck finding any new leads, Kate poses as a client on Karpovich's dating website and catches the attention of one of Karpovich's men. She pretends to travel from Moscow and is taken to the New York brothel. With Kate inside, ICE raid the building once Karpovich arrives. Karpovich is killed, along with several of his men. Nadia and Viktor are rescued.

In Manila, another of Annie's captors has a change of heart upon watching his daughter play. He calls the police and alerts them about the shipping container. Annie is rescued, along with the other children, and reunited with her parents. Karpovich's empire is dismantled, many other girls are rescued and his associates arrested.

Human Trafficking closes with images of people walking through crowded city streets, as a closing title caption announces that human trafficking is the third-most profitable criminal business in the world, with as many as 800,000 victims each year.

Production
The miniseries was produced by Muse Entertainment Enterprises for broadcast on Lifetime Television. In April 2005 Muse announced that principal photography had begun and that a Canadian broadcaster would be announced shortly. The miniseries was filmed in Montreal, Bangkok, and Prague and was completed in July 2005.

Reception
Human Trafficking received generally mixed to positive reviews by critics. Alessandra Stanley of the New York Times noted that Human Trafficking "avoids the seedy sensationalism that cheapens so many television depictions of the crime" and that it is "a harsh public-service message built into a clever, suspenseful thriller."

Tom Shales of The Washington Post was more negative as he found the miniseries an odd subject for Lifetime to broadcast. He noted that in attempting to, "expose a worldwide scandal" Human Trafficking, "happens to expose vast amounts of flesh in the process -- exploitation about exploitation."

John Doyle of The Globe and Mail was also negative towards the miniseries. He compared it to the "searing, shocking and hard to watch" CBC/Channel 4 miniseries Sex Traffic which "suggested a direct connection between the sex trade and NATO officials, and with Western corporations based in Eastern Europe. Doyle concluded that "While Human Trafficking is an international co-production with an international cast, it feels obstinately constructed to satisfy small-minded American viewers.

DVD
On October 25, 2005, Maple Pictures released a 2 disc DVD set of the mini-series in Canada, which contained interviews with the director and the five principal cast members on the second disc. Echo Bridge Home Entertainment released the miniseries on a single DVD in the U.S. on May 2, 2006 with deleted scenes not shown during the airing on Lifetime, interactive resources, and scene selections. The Canadian DVD is rated 14A; the U.S. release is labeled Not Rated by the MPAA due to enhanced violence of the deleted scenes.

Heisuke Yanagawa

Heisuke Yanagawa (柳川 平助) was a general in the Imperial Japanese Army in World War II. Japanese forces under Yanagawa's command committed the 1937 Nanjing Massacre.

Biography
Born in what is now part of Nagasaki city, Nagasaki prefecture, Yanagawa was raised in Ōita Prefecture by his adoptive parents. He graduated from the 12th class of the Imperial Japanese Army Academy in 1900, and served in combat during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905. He graduated from the 24th class of the Army Staff College in 1912. After serving as an instructor in the Army Cavalry School, he was appointed a military attaché to China and served as an instructor at the Beijing Army College in 1918. He later traveled to Europe as part of Japan’s delegation to the Versailles Peace Treaty negotiations, and from 1920 to 1923 was a member of Japan’s delegation to the League of Nations.

Around this time, he became involved in internal politics within the Japanese Army, and joined the Kodaha Faction, led by Sadao Araki, Jinsaburo Mazaki and Hideyoshi Obata.

From 1923 to 1925, Yanagawa was a cavalry officer, and rose steadily through the ranks from commanding the IJA 20th Cavalry Regiment in 1923, the IJA 1st Cavalry Brigade by 1927, the Cavalry School from 1929, to Inspector-General of Cavalry in 1930. He was promoted to lieutenant general in December 1931.

From 1932 to 1934, Yanagawa served as Vice-Minister of War. He was subsequently given a field posting as commander of the prestigious IJA 1st Division from 1934 to 1935. He commanded the Taiwan Army of Japan from 1935 to 1936, before his retirement on September 26, 1936.

However, with the Second Sino-Japanese War, Yanagawa was recalled to active service and assigned command of the IJA 10th Army in China in 1937–1938. The 10th Army comprised the 18th and 114th divisions from Japan, the IJA 6th Division from North China, and the Kunisaki Detachment of the IJA 5th Division, and landed in Hangzhou on November 5, 1937.

Yanagawa led his troops in pursuit of Chinese forces fleeing from the Shanghai area, and was in command of one of the main Japanese columns at the Battle of Nanking. His troops were later implicated in the Nanjing Massacre, but Yanagawa was repelled by the events.

Yanagawa retired again from active military service in 1938, becoming Chief of the General Affairs Bureau, East Asia Development Board. Under the political patronage of Baron Hiranuma Kiichirō, and with support from the zaibatsu groups, he took over the Justice Ministry from Akira Kazami. During this post in government he led the Keishicho (Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department).

Yanagawa was a supporter of State Shintoism, along with General Kuniaki Koiso and Hiranuma Kiichirō, and in the creation of the Shintoist Rites Research Council. He was also a leader in the Taisei Yokusankai (Imperial Rule Assistance Association) group.

In a 1985 interview of Yoshinaga Sunao who was a Staff Officer of the Japanese 10th Army, Sunao described Yanagawa as a "Great man who had his deepest respect" as well as a "Reticent and quiet hero". Further into the interview, it was stated by Sunao that Yanagawa loved China and while on the road to Nanjing, he personally said to his Staff officers that it wasn't desirable for Japan and China to have to fight each other, however, as a soldier, he felt it was still his duty to fight and as such readily marched on Nanjing.

Francisco Pradilla Ortiz

Francisco Pradilla Ortiz (24 July 1848 – 1 November 1921) was a prolific Spanish painter famous for creating historical scenes.

Biography
He was born in Villanueva de Gállego, in Zaragoza Province and began his studies in Zaragoza. He then transferred to the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando and, later, the "Academia de Acuarelistas" (Academy of Watercolorists) in Madrid.

In 1873, he became one of the first students chosen to study at the new Spanish Academy in Rome. From there he had opportunities to travel to France and Venice and studied the old masters.

In 1878 he submitted his painting Doña Joanna the Mad or (Juana la Loca) to the National Exhibition of Fine Arts and was awarded the Medal of Honor. In 1879, the Spanish Senate then commissioned him to create La Rendición de Granada (The Surrender of Granada), which took him three years to complete.

In 1881 he became the Director of the Spanish Fine Arts Academy in Rome, but resigned from this post after two years. He traveled, mostly in Italy, portraying local themes and people. In 1897 he returned to Madrid as the director of the Museo del Prado. He held this position only briefly and then focused again on painting.

His total output is well over 1,000 paintings showing his interest in a variety of subjects and styles, often without regard of the current fashion. He is primarily recognized for his historical paintings; the last one completed in 1910 carries one of the longer titles of a major painting, Cortejo del bautizo del Príncipe Don Juan, hijo de los Reyes Católicos, por las calles de Sevilla (Retinue of the Baptism of Don Juan, son of the Catholic Monarchs, Along the Streets of Seville). An earlier example is The Sigh of the Moor, which depicts Muhammad XII, the last Nasrid ruler of Granada, turning to take his last look at the city from the Puerto del Suspiro del Moro before going into exile.

Much more common, however, are costumbristas—often romanticized studies that show local customs or manners—and landscapes that are often sketchy, with impressionistic influences. Financial duress after the bankruptcy of his bank may have imposed a special need to be productive.

Jonas Renkse

Jonas Petter Renkse (born 19 May 1975) is a Swedish musician in the bands Katatonia (1991–) as lead vocalist, founder, songwriter (1991–1994, 1997–) and formerly as drummer (1991–1994, 1996–1998); in Bloodbath (1998–) as bassist, founder, songwriter; and in Wisdom of Crowds (2013–) as co-vocalist. He was also the founding member, drummer, vocalist, guitarist & songwriter of the band October Tide.

History
In 1995 Katatonia was put on a halt due to not having a suitable lineup, and Renkse subsequently decided to form October Tide.

In 1996, Jonas' performance of death vocals had taken such a toll that by 1997 he would only sing cleanly. By 1998, Renkse decided he would focus strictly on vocals and abandon drums.

Renkse wanted to guest on The Ocean's album, Precambrian but due to Katatonia's touring schedule during the production, The Ocean was not able to approach him on time. He would later appear on the track "Devonian: Nascent" off of their 2018 release Phanerozoic I: Paleozoic, as well as "Jurassic | Cretaceous" from the 2020 release Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic & Cenozoic.

Personal life
Renkse has three children, and is best friends with singer Mikael Åkerfeldt of the band Opeth. Åkerfeldt recorded part of the Blackwater Park album at Renkse's house.

Talk:Louise Lasser

Rehashing
Were any of the skits on the infamous Louise Lasser show rehashed and redone, with different actors, for showing on other episodes?

It appears that using the same material over a second time (or even a third time) with other, more competent actors would represent a major cost-saving measure for the production budget, which ought to be an omnipresent factor no matter how you look at it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.177.27.15 (talk), 2005-10-11, 02:19 Z

banned?
I've always been doubtful about the labeling of certain performers as "banned" from SNL as if, in the course of events, someone who hosted SNL once would otherwise automatically return, ignoring the reality that most SNL hosts are one-time only anyway. It seems very silly and gossipy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robcat2075 (talk • contribs) 19:16, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

 * All of this must be making reference to her appearance on an episode of Saturday Night Live, but as of November 2008 there's nothing about this in Lasser's article, so it's baffling. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 14:11, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The section that this discussion relates to was removed in September 2008 on grounds of breaching the biographies of living persons policy after a complaint was raised at Wikiproject Biography. Road Wizard (talk) 07:50, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

 * She was banned by producer Lorne Michaels for eratic behavior and incoherence, and being difficult to work with. It may have been, as you said, that many guest hosts were one offs, but in Lasser's case, her SNL appearance followed what was, at the time, a high profile cocaine arrest. I'm mainly writing here because that arrest doesn't appear in the Wiki article, and I was expecting to see some mention of it. I don't know what the rules are about posting such things on a living bio, but it was made into a big deal at the time, as popular culture goes.giggle (talk) 00:07, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Candide-esque
can we find a different/better description than "Candide-esque" ? I have no idea what qualities that adjective is intended to convey. How does a TV show character from the 1970s in any way resemble a Voltaire satire from 1759?

Bebu Silvetti

Juan Fernando Silvetti Adorno (27 March 1944 – 5 July 2003), professionally known as Bebu Silvetti or simply Silvetti, was an Argentine-Mexican pianist, composer, conductor, arranger, and record producer. In the 1970s he moved to Mexico and became a citizen. Popularly known for the 1977 instrumental disco hit, "Lluvia De Primavera" ("Spring Rain" in English), the album was produced in Spain and for the 1980 modern instrumental mariachi album. Silvetti was also a successful, Grammy-winning producer for a wide variety of Latin and international music performers. He was the father of six children, including the actress Anna Silvetti. Silvetti also worked in the music of successful films and telenovelas in Mexico.

Early life
Silvetti was born in the city of Quilmes, Argentina, located in the province of Buenos Aires, approximately 17 kilometers from the capital city of Buenos Aires.

He started his piano education at the age of six. During his teenage years he formed his own jazz quartet and a few other musical groups. At 19, Silvetti left Argentina to go to Spain where he stayed a few years working as a pianist at some of the most popular jazz clubs of the time.

Career
In the early 1970s he moved to Mexico and started arranging and composing. He recorded his first album, which contained his hit offering, "Spring Rain." The LP was released in the US on Salsoul Records. Other albums followed. Silvetti continued arranging, composing and producing mostly for other artists. After 10 years working in Los Angeles, California, he eventually settled in Miami, Florida, where he produced, arranged, and composed for a wide variety of Latin and international artists.

During his career, Silvetti worked with performers such as Jose Jose, Plácido Domingo, Luis Miguel, Paul Anka, Engelbert Humperdinck, Vikki Carr, Ana Cristina, Roberto Carlos (singer), Rocío Dúrcal, Rocío Jurado, Jerry Rivera, Tamara, Los Kjarkas, Daniela Romo, Armando Manzanero, José Luis Perales, Daniel Barenboim, Juan Gabriel, Maggie Carles, Los Nocheros, Marco Antonio Solís, Ricardo Montaner, Paloma San Basilio, Raúl di Blasio, Vic Damone and Selena.

Silvetti achieved many successes and accolades throughout his long and prolific career. In 2004, Silvetti was honored posthumously as recipient of the 2003 Latin Grammy Award for Producer of the Year for his work on "Hasta Que Vuelvas" by Luis Miguel, "Quién Da un Peso Por Mis Sueños" by Armando Manzanero featuring Alex Lora and the albums Rocío Dúrcal ... En Concierto Inolvidable by Rocío Dúrcal and Suma by Ricardo Montaner. In 2002, he received the Billboard Producer of the Year Award. In 2001, he topped Billboard's year-end "Hot Latin Tracks Producer Chart."

Death
Bebu Silvetti died at the age of 59 from respiratory failure caused by complications from lung cancer treatment. At the time of his death, he reportedly had composed more than 600 songs, over 200 TV and radio commercials, and a number of film and TV soundtracks.

Musical legacy
His hit track "Spring Rain" was remixed by DJ YOSHITAKA for the Japanese music game beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD. The song name was changed to "Spring Rain (Lluvia De Primavera)" to signify the remix.

Denki Groove's song "Shangri-La", a remix of which was the ending theme of the 2009 anime series Kūchū Buranko, is based around looped samples of "Spring Rain". Silvetti is credited as a co-writer of the song.

Ischigualasto Provincial Park

Ischigualasto Provincial Park (Parque Provincial Ischigualasto), also called Valle de la Luna ("Valley of the Moon" or "Moon Valley"), due to its moon like appearance, is a provincial protected area in the north-east of San Juan Province, north-western Argentina, limiting to the north with the Talampaya National Park, in La Rioja Province. Both areas belong to the same geological formation, the Ischigualasto Formation (sometimes called the Ischigualasto-Talampaya Formation). Established on 3 November 1971, the park has an area of 60370 ha.

In 2000, UNESCO included Ischigualasto and Talampaya National Park among its World Heritage Sites.

History
The name Ischigualasto is derived from the extinct Cacán language, spoken by an indigenous group referred to as the Diaguita by the Spanish conquistadors and means "place where the moon alights". Another hypothesis gives the name "Ischigualasto" a Quechua origin, meaning "dead land", although some scholars have proposed Huarpe roots.

The first paleontological description of Ischigualasto dates from 1930. In 1941 the area was studied in more detail, which led to the discovery of 70 species of fossil plants. The region received for the first time the name Valle de la Luna in 1943, in a publication edited by the Automobil Club Argentino. That year, Dr. Ángel Cabrera of University of La Plata described the traversodontid Exaeretodon—the first cynodont found in Ischigualasto—after samples sent by a geologist prospecting for coal on behalf of an Argentine mining company.

Academic work and geological prospecting proceeded slowly until 1958, when Dr. Alfred Sherwood Romer, a Harvard University expert in ancient mammals, discovered several rich fossil beds which he described as "extraordinary".

Description
Most of the park lies within the Valle Fértil Department, with a minor part in the Jachal Department of San Juan, at an altitude of about 1300 m amsl. The park is part of the western border of the Central Sierras, and it features typical desert vegetation (bushes, cacti and some trees) which covers between 10 and 20% of the area. The climate is very dry, with rainfall mostly during the summer, and temperature extremes (minimum -10 C, maximum 45 C). There is a constant southern wind with a speed of 20 - 40 km/h after noon and until the evening, sometimes accompanied by the extremely strong Zonda wind.

Paleontology
The Ischigualasto Formation contains Late Triassic (Carnian) deposits (231.4 -225.9 million years before the present), with some of the oldest known dinosaur remains, which are the world's foremost with regards to quality, number and importance.

In the Carnian this area was a volcanically active floodplain dominated by rivers and had a strongly seasonal rainfall. Petrified tree trunks of Protojuniperoxylon ischigualastianus more than 40 m tall attest to a rich vegetation at that time. Fossil ferns and horsetails have also been found.

Rhynchosaurs and cynodonts (especially rhynchosaur Hyperodapedon and cynodont Exaeretodon) are by far the predominant findings among the tetrapod fossils in the park. A study from 1993 found dinosaur specimens to comprise only 6% of the total tetrapod sample; subsequent discoveries increased this number to approximately 11% of all findings. Carnivorous dinosaurs are the most common terrestrial carnivores of the Ischigualasto Formation, with herrerasaurids comprising 72% of all recovered terrestrial carnivores. Dinosaurs of Ischigualasto Formation include early samples of the two major lineages of dinosaurs (ornithischians and saurischians). The carnivorous archosaur Herrerasaurus is the most numerous of these dinosaur fossils. Another important putative dinosaur with primitive characteristics is Eoraptor lunensis, found in Ischigualasto in the early 1990s.

Hachaliah

Hachaliah or Hacaliah (חֲכַלְיָה) was the father of Nehemiah, the author of the Book of Nehemiah, which is a book of the Hebrew Bible, known to Jews as the Tanakh and to Christians as the Old Testament. Hachaliah's name is mentioned at the beginning of the book and in : the references to Hachaliah distinguish Nehemiah from others with the same name. Little is known about his status: Bowman notes that many attempts have been made to explain the name Hacaliah, "but none is persuasive".

Kingoro Hashimoto

Kingorō Hashimoto (橋本 欣五郎) was a soldier in the Imperial Japanese Army and politician. He was famous for having twice tried to stage a coup against the civilian government in the 1930s.

Early career
Hashimoto was born in Okayama City, and a graduate of the 23rd class of the Imperial Japanese Army Academy in 1911. He subsequently graduated from the Army Staff College in 1920. The services of Aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba were offered to Hashimoto by Oomoto leader Onisaburo Deguchi. In April 1922, he was assigned to the Kwantung Army in Manchuria and was stationed at Harbin. In 1923, he was sent on special assignment to Manzhouli, near the border with the Soviet Union. From September 1927 through June 1930, he was reassigned as military attaché to Turkey. On his return to Japan, he was posted to the Imperial Japanese Army General Staff, and headed a Russian studies department. He was promoted to colonel in August 1930 and became an instructor at the Army Staff College in October.

Political career
From the middle of 1930, Hashimoto became increasingly involved in right-wing politics within the military, with active participation in various attempts at a coup d'état. He was also a founder of radical secret societies within the army.

Coup attempts
Hashimoto actively participated in the March incident of 1931. The Sakurakai (Cherry Blossom Society) was secretly formed by him and Captain Isamu Chō. It sought political reform with the elimination of party government by a coup d'état and the establishment of a new cabinet under the control of the military to stamp out Japan's allegedly-corrupt politics, economy, and thought. That literally meant a reversal of the Westernization of Japan.

The attempt failed, but Hashimoto, along with Isamu Chō and Shūmei Ōkawa, organized a further coup, the Imperial Colors Incident, also known as the October Incident, with Sadao Araki. All the conspirators were arrested and transferred to other posts. There were also suspicions of the instigation by Hashimoto and Araki in the final attempt, the Military Academy Incident.

Radicalism
Despite his failures, Hashimoto continued as an active radical thinker during World War II. He was involved in the Taisei Yokusankai (Imperial Rule Assistance Association). He proposed a nationalist one-party dictatorship. The militarists had strong industrial support but also “socialist-nationalist” sentiments on the part of radical officers like Hashimoto. Supporters of Fumimaro Konoe's "Right-Socialist" revolution (populist ideas, which were rooted in the poorest farmers, fishermen, and industrial workers) opposed the "right-wing" militarists represented by Senjuro Hayashi in the same "revolutionary grouping". Later receiving political patronage by Hiranuma Kiichirō, another right-wing politician with establishment links in the Japanese Navy.

Hashimoto was later elected to the Japanese House of Representatives and became vice-president of the Diet of Japan. Throughout the war, the Yokusan Sonendan (Imperial Rule Assistance Young Men's Corps), under his leadership, had the mission of guiding the nationalist and militarist indoctrination of the youth.

He was involved in the Panay incident of December 12, 1937 in which unprovoked Japanese bombers attacked and sank the USS Panay (PR-5) on the Yangtze River in China. Hashimoto was the senior Japanese officer in the region, and a few days after the sinking, he was quoted in US newspapers as saying "I had orders to fire." Still, US-Japanese relations continued to sour in the aftermath of the incident, which would eventually lead to the Pacific War.

Hashimoto greatly supported aggressive policies during the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Tripartite Pact with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy in 1940, along with the other military extremists of the Imperial Japanese Army.

Later life
After the end of the war, he was sentenced to life imprisonment in Sugamo Prison by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. He died in 1957.

Cobi and Petra

Cobi is the official mascot of the 1992 Summer Olympics and Petra is the official mascot of the 1992 Summer Paralympics, both held in Barcelona, Spain.

Cobi is a Catalan Sheepdog in Cubist style designed by Javier Mariscal and inspired by the interpretations of Picasso of a masterpiece from Velázquez, Las Meninas. He was unveiled to the public in 1987. His name was derived from the Barcelona Olympic Organising Committee (COOB).

After the popularity reached by Cobi, the COOB'92 requested Mariscal to create other characters to accompany Cobi on his adventures around the world. They appeared as supporting characters in books, stationery and figurines along other licensed products. For this to happen, he took out of the archives some original ideas that had been archived during the period when he was developing Cobi and in it were rescued the Palmerito which was a Mediterranean palm that had created life and an anthropomorphized lobster with a big smile. However, he realized that his first design proposal would fit much better at the Paralympic Games. Petra was originally one of Cobi's first drafts and had eventually been himself, because he had felt it could be used in another time. When he was redesigning the lines was became clearer, with stronger features and gaining more humanized characteristics. Due the COOB'92 demands the creative lines of Mariscal, had to be would have to be kept in all of them and also the names had to be in Catalan or Spanish. In this group, there was a character who stood out more than the others, she was a girl who kept the features of Cobi. However, taller and without arms, which at the same time shocked and sensitized at first glance. Her name was Petra and that with a short time of existence captivated COOB'92 employees and was already considered the informal mascot of the Paralympic Games. Unlike Cobi who was short, shy, fearful and uncoordinated. Petra was tall, slender, brave, chatty and friendly. Her personality was like a ray of light and had no bad time and never gave up on anything until the possibilities run out, which made the other characters uncomfortable in the stories. Her personality is based on Mariscal's friend, the plastic artist Lorenza Böttner who had lost her arms in an electrical accident as a child and became famous in Barcelona because of her artistic interventions in which she painted on the ramblas dancing to happy music using her legs, feet, mouth and body. Böttner, who was a transsexual woman, enchanted everyone around her because she did not saw her as a person with a disability and despite being HIV positive she had a totally normal life. Due this characteristic he recreated Petra, an armless girl that is supposed to convey positivity, extroversion, independence, energy and bravery. Before and during the Games, Cobi and Petra were shown in a variety of advertisements for Olympic and Paralympic sponsors such as Coca-Cola, Brother Industries and Danone. They even had their own television series, The Cobi Troupe which was sold to over 24 broadcasters worldwide, with the Israeli channel also making a series of live-action shorts called קובי כבל מייקר (Cobi Cable Maker), featuring Cobi competing in various sports. They also appeared on an extensive range of souvenirs, dubbed Cobiana, which proved to be a lucrative source of income. During the Games inflatable versions of Cobi and Petra were tethered to the Barcelona waterfront.

The Cobi Troupe
The Olympic Organizing Committee Barcelona'92 and BRB Internacional produced an animated television series starring Cobi and Petra titled The Cobi Troupe to promote the Games under the creative and artistic direction of Mariscal himself and with screenplay by Tricicle. Together the television series, a series of six comic albums was also released.
