Karl Fiehler

Karl Fiehler (31 August 1895 – 8 December 1969) was a German Nazi Party (NSDAP) official and Mayor of Munich from 1933 until 1945. He was an early member of the Nazi Party having joined in 1920. In 1933, he became a Reichsleiter in the party and was a member of the Reichstag. In March 1933, he was appointed Mayor of Munich and held that post until the end of World War II in Europe. During his time as mayor, Fiehler was zealously anti-Semitic and saw to it that the Jewish population of the city was persecuted. After the war in January 1949, Fiehler was sentenced to two years in a labour camp, but the sentence was suspended given the previous three-and-a-half years of detention he had already served.

Early life
Fiehler was born in Braunschweig, German Empire. As a child, he attended a secondary modern school in Munich and afterwards he began a merchant apprenticeship, which he continued in Schleswig-Holstein in 1914. Fiehler served in World War I and was decorated with the Iron Cross, second class. In 1919 he entered the local government of the City of Munich as an administration trainee and in 1922 successfully passed the examination for the administrative and clerical grade.

Nazi Party career
By 1920 he had already joined the Nazi Party with the membership number 37. In 1923, Karl Fiehler became a member of the Stoßtrupp-Hitler (Shock Troop-Hitler), that had been established to provide personal protect for Hitler. On 8 and 9 November 1923 he participated actively in the failed Beer Hall Putsch. For his participation Fiehler was sentenced to 15 months' confinement in Landsberg fortress.

From 1924 until 1933 he was an honorary alderman and in 1929 he outlined the principles of Nazi local politics in his 80-page booklet "National Socialist Municipal Policy", printed by the Munich publishing house "Franz-Eher-Verlag", which was the central party publisher of the NSDAP. During the 1930s he published on several occasions concerning local politics in Germany from a National Socialist point of view.

Fiehler, who—as an early Nazi Party member—was not only allowed to call himself proudly "Alter Kämpfer" (Old Combatant), which meant members who had joined the Party before the Nazi takeover on 30 January 1933, but could also call himself one of the "Alte Garde" (Old Guard) pre-eminent in the hierarchy as (party members with membership numbers under 100,000) and climbed the party career ladder rapidly. From 1927 until 1930 he was Ortsgruppenleiter (Local Chapter Leader) of the Nazi Party in Munich.

In power
Following the Machtergreifung (Seizure of Power) of January 1933, Fiehler's rise in the party continued. From June 1933 until the end of the Nazi Germany in May 1945 he held the rank of a Reichsleiter, the second highest political rank in the NSDAP. He served at first as a secretary and afterwards as the "Head of the Main Office for Municipal Policy." He also belonged to the top-level management circle of the Nazi Party and being one of the twenty most intimate co-workers of Hitler in the NSDAP organization moved up the ranks quickly. He was also made a member of the Academy for German Law. On 31 July 1933 he joined the SS with the rank of Standartenführer, being promoted on 24 December 1933 to Oberführer and on 27 January 1934 to SS-Gruppenführer.

From November 1933 until 1945 Fiehler was also a member from electoral constituency 24, Upper Bavaria-Schwabia, of the Nazi Reichstag which existed after the Enabling Act of 1933 and the so-called Gleichschaltung (synchronization). On 30 January 1942, Fiehler was promoted to SS-Obergruppenführer and was assigned to the Stab Reichsführer-SS (RFSS) (Staff Reichsführer-SS) Heinrich Himmler on 1 April 1936 where he remained until 9 November 1944.

Mayor of Munich

On 9 March 1933 the Sturmabteilung (SA) occupied the Munich town hall and unfurled the swastika flag. Despite then First Mayor Karl Scharnagl, who belonged to the conservative Bavarian People's Party (BVP) and who defied the Nazis for eleven days on the top of the old city administration. However, on 20 March 1933 Adolf Wagner, Nazi Home Secretary of the Free State of Bavaria and "Gauleiter" of Munich and Upper Bavaria, appointed Karl Fiehler Provisional First Mayor. On 20 May 1933 Fiehler received the title "Oberbürgermeister" (Lord Mayor), a title that did not exist in Munich prior to that time.

All parties and organizations opposing the political Gleichschaltung were forbidden as a result of the National Socialist takeover, in Munich as well as throughout Germany. The "Book burning" (Bücherverbrennung) on the Königsplatz Square in front of the Staatliche Antikensammlung (Antiquity Collection) on 10 May 1933, the persecution of "non-folkish" (nicht-völkisch) writers, artists and scientists caused an exodus of Munich's intellectual elite. Thomas Mann and his family did not return from a journey abroad. On 22 March 1933 the Provisional Police Chief of Munich, Heinrich Himmler, opened the Dachau concentration camp.

In 1933 the "German Association of Cities" (Deutscher Städtetag) was forced to merge with other municipal umbrella organizations to form the "Deutscher Gemeindetag" (German Local Authorities Association). Fiehler was appointed chairman of this unity organization. The administrative office was situated on Alsenstraße in the Berlin-Tiergarten district. On 2 August 1935 a memorable conversation took place between Hitler and Karl Fiehler in the course of which Munich received a new epithet: Hauptstadt der Bewegung (Capital of the Movement). This "title" was given to remind the Germans of the NSDAP origins in Bavaria's metropolis.

During the 1930s a number of model buildings, prime examples of grandiose Nazi architecture, had been erected by Paul Ludwig Troost, the predecessor of Albert Speer as Hitler's "Court Master Builder", in Munich. A radical remodelling of Munich was intended, in which Fiehler wanted to illustrate as editor of the pictorial book ''München baut auf. Ein Tatsachen- und Bildbericht über den nationalsozialistischen Aufbau in der Hauptstadt der Bewegung'' ("Munich Rebuilds. A Factual and Pictorial Report on National Socialist Reconstruction in the Capital of the Movement"). By amalgamations on a grand scale, particularly in the west (Pasing district), the Munich population figure increased considerably from 746,000 (1936) to 889,000 (1943). Nevertheless, major projects like the relocation of the Munich Central Station to Laim district, did not get beyond the planning stage.

Persecution of the Jews
Munich under Fiehler became the vanguard wherever it concerned actions against Jews. In the spring of 1933 the first systematic boycott against Jewish shops was very zealously carried out by Fiehler. On 30 March he decreed this sanction with anticipatory obedience, as the "official" date was actually 1 April. The SA and SS had been terrorising Jewish businessmen since the very beginning of March and had been taking them into Schutzhaft (protective custody). Fiehler proscribed—without any legal basis—municipal contracts with so called "non-German" companies. SA sentries bedaubed the fronts of Jewish shops with inscriptions like "Jew", the "Star of David" or "On vacation in Dachau!". Shop windows were smashed and their clients were intimidated, being mobbed by SA men who molested, registered and even photographed them. Later on the City of Munich hurried, in a quite exceptional manner, with the demolition of Jewish places of worship. The Minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, had already commenced the destruction of Munich's main synagogue in June 1938, just to find out, whether the public's reaction would be shock or indifference. The apathetic behaviour of the population would encourage the Nazis to further new outrages.

On 9 November 1938 almost the whole Nazi Party elite convened for a social evening at the invitation of the Lord Mayor Fiehler in the Great Hall of Munich's Old Guildhall. A vicious anti-Semitic diatribe by Goebbels was, for the attendant SA and party-leaders, the signal for a general hunt on Jews. Numerous men and women were killed, tortured and injured in this night of pogrom, which was euphemistically referred to as Reichskristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass) in Germany afterwards. Many Jewish institutions, synagogues and shops fell prey to this devastation.

Munich's Municipal Cemeteries Department under Fiehler behaved in an absurd, strictly anti-Semitic, manner. It adamantly refused even deceased Christians of Jewish descent cremation or burials. Moreover, so-called "Jewish Christians" were no longer allowed to be buried in their own family graves, which had been in existence for generations. The Department referred bureaucratically to surviving dependants as the "Israelite Community". Amongst other things it was no longer allowed to wear Protestant vestments at a funeral in a Jewish-orthodox graveyard. Johannes Zwanzger, who was appointed head of the "Munich aid office for non-Aryan Christians", formulated a letter of complaint to Lord Mayor Fiehler on behalf of the Bavarian Lutheran Regional Consistory in December 1938, without any success.

During World War II, genocide followed the disfranchisement of Jews. On 20 November 1941 the first transport of 1,000 Jewish men and women departed from Munich for Riga. The fictitious reason given to the scared people was that it was a matter of "evacuation". The transport was re-routed to Kaunas in Lithuania, because the Riga Ghetto was overcrowded at that time. Just after their arrival there, the deportees were murdered in a mass shooting by members of the Einsatzgruppen A under the command of SS-Brigadeführer Franz Walter Stahlecker in Fort IX of Kaunas. Up to February 1945 a total of 42 transports left Munich at irregular intervals: to exterminations in Kaunas, Piaski, (near Lublin), Auschwitz and also at the so-called "Ghetto for old and prominent people", the concentration camp Theresienstadt.

Downfall and death
In the early afternoon of 30 April 1945, the first American soldiers led by 27-year-old Lieutenant Wolfgang F. Robinow approached Munich's central square Marienplatz. With the surrender of the town hall, the Nazi Party rule had ended in Munich. Fiehler had already left a long time before the occupation of Munich took place. On 4 May 1945, four days before the official end of World War II in Europe, the victorious American Forces reinstated Karl Scharnagl as Lord Mayor of the Bavarian capital. In January 1949 Fiehler, who was married and had three daughters, was sentenced to two years in a labour camp, the confiscation of one fifth of his property and a twelve-year employment ban after Spruchkammerverfahren (proceedings before denazification tribunals). However he did not have to serve the sentence because the previous three and a half years of his detention were credited to the term of his imprisonment. Fiehler died on 8 December 1969 in the village of Dießen on Lake Ammersee in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps.

Talk:Ismail Khan

Status
Khan was, as the article mentions, removed from his post of Herat governor in 2004. But this article makes it sound like he is still a ruling warlord. Does anyone know anything about what kind of power Khan holds today? Does he still have a private army? Does he exercise any informal control? Everyking 14:32, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Article Status
There's a lot of good information that's come together here about Khan in the last few months or so. Some of it, from contributors such as myself who may be external to Central Asia but have an interest in this part of the world and it's recent history, is based on reading news media and books. Some of it, on the other hand, appears to be based on direct or local knowledge particularly about more recent events. I think in both cases, we need to start following Wikipedia guidelines in terms of citing sources (books, news media, websites, etc) and maintaining Neutral Point of View. It can be difficult especially in sensitive subject areas such as this where outside perceptions often are very different from local knowledge or perceptions, and where the history involved has been as tortuous, violent and tragic as it's been in Afghanistan in the last 30 years (or longer). Nevertheless, I think Wikipedia provides an opportunity to bring together information and viewpoints to produce a valuable, supportable, and informative source of information, not just about Khan but about other individuals and events in this part of the world. I've started this "cleanup" process by citing Steve Coll's excellent book "Ghost Wars", which touches on the early events around Khan's rise to prominence in the late 1970's. Cheers, Psarj 14:08, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

The article is wrong
The article states that in 2004, the central government run by Karzai sent in troop to combat Kahn. However, according to Jane's, the central government in Kabul sent in forces to assist Kahn's forces against three allied invading warlords. Kahn, it seems, is an ally of the central government.

Disk staging

Disk staging is using disks as an additional, temporary stage of backup process before finally storing backup to tape. Backups stay on disk typically for a day or a week, before being copied to tape in a background process and deleted afterwards.

The process of disk staging is controlled by the same software that performs actual backups, which is different from virtual tape library where intermediate disk usage is hidden from main backup software. Both techniques are known as D2D2T (disk-to-disk-to-tape).

Restoring data
Data is restored from disk if possible. But if the data exists only on tape it is restored directly (no backward-staging on restore).

Reasons
Reasons behind using D2D2T:
 * increase performance of small, random-access restores: disk has much faster random access than tape
 * increase overall backup/restore performance: although disk and a tape have similar streaming throughput, you can easily scale disk throughput by the means of striping (and tape-striping is a much less established technique)
 * increase utilization of tape drives: tape shoe-shining effect is eliminated when staging (note that it may still happen on tape restores)

Qiu Zhijie

Qiu Zhijie (邱志杰; born 1969) is a contemporary Chinese artist who works primarily in video and photography. Overall, Qiu's work suggests the struggle between the forces of destiny and self-assertion. Other common themes are social fragmentation and transience.

Qiu was born in 1969 in Fujian province. In 1992, he graduated from the printmaking department at Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, Hangzhou. He now lives and works in Beijing.

The artist's break-through exhibition was in 1992 with China's New Art, Post-1989 at the Hanart Gallery and Hong Kong Arts Centre. By 1999, his work began receiving overseas interest with his inclusion in Revolutionary Capitals: Beijing-London at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London. In 2007 he had his first solo exhibition in the United States at the New York gallery Chambers Fine Art.

In 2005, his work was exhibited in the Victoria and Albert Museum's Between Past And Future: New Photography And Video From China, including Tattoo 1, which explores Qiu's assertion that in our media-saturated age, "signs and codes have overpowered actual human beings, and our bodies have become merely their vehicles." The character bu — meaning "no" — is written across the artist's body and on the wall behind him, creating the illusion that it floats free of the body.

Life and work
Qiu was born in 1969 in Fujian province, China. He graduated from the printmaking department of the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, Hangzhou in 1992. Soon after, he was developing his technical and conceptual skills, as seen in his graduate work A New Life (1992). The installation featured 16 glass panels of different sizes on which texts, slogans, and figures were printed. The installation create a translucent labyrinth from these panels, which allowed the audience to take part in the work as their bodies filled the clear sections of the glass panels. Qiu's work in A New Life developed the basis for later works including Bathroom (1997) and his Tattoo series (1994). The Tattoo series in particular further explored the concept of free-floating symbols and words that were imposed on the individual. The imposition of the external world onto the individual for better or worse is also featured in his Rainbow photography series.

Beyond symbols, icons, and external pressures, Qiu has explored the concept of transience in many of his works. His Baguo series of photographs, for instance, displays scenes of streets with market stalls and buildings, but the streets are filled with ghostly half-transparent roaming figures. These "ghosts" imply a sense that they are coming and going but never stationary enough to make a lasting impression, as the buildings have. His Propagator in the Darkness lithograph also presents this theme. The lithograph displays a skeleton shouting through a megaphone inside a bell. Regarding this work, Qiu has said "No one can see him or hear him, but he's still showing his propaganda slogan. For me this is about sounds disappearing, about the past disappearing. Whether it's good or not, we don't know. It's quite a complicated feeling." According to Qiu in an interview from 2001, the most significant turning point in his career was his work producing the installation Public Life/Glass Toilet (1994), which led to an ongoing interest in revealing the otherwise obscured practices of art production.

Qiu is an accomplished author of Art theory books. his published books include as “Image and Post-modernism”, “Give Me A Mask”, “The Boundary of Freedom”, “The Scene is Most Important”, “Photography After Photography”, and “Basic Course in Total Art Creation”.

Qiu is currently a professor at the School of Inter-media Art of China Art Academy, the Director of Total Art Studio and member of the supervisor team in the Art and Social Thoughts Institute. He also curated "Phenomena and Image" in 1996, a series of exhibitions with the theme of “Post-sense Sensibility” between 1999 and 2004, “Long March, A Walking Visual Display” in 2002, and the video portion of the First Guangzhou Triennial and “Archeology of Future: The Second Triennial of Chinese Art” in 2005.

Qiu has been teaching in the Total Art Studio of China Academy of Art since 2003. He has proposed ways to develop the concept of “total art” in both formal academic and professional contexts.

Real world me
I am a 37 year old from Burghfield Common which is near Reading, Berkshire, England. I have a bit of a collection of degrees: a bachelor's degree in natural sciences and a master's degree in biochemistry, both from the University of Cambridge, and a PhD in infection, immunology and translational medicine from Oxford University. I am now a professional research scientist and hold a Sir Henry Wellcome Fellowship from the Welcome Trust and currently work in Dresden at the Max Planck Society Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics

My primary academic interests are biochemistry, molecular biology and physics. My current research focus is on the function of cell shape, particularly thinking about the Leishmania parasite and how it adapts to different hosts. Other interests include music (both listening and performing, I play trumpet and piano to about grade 8 standard), photography and graphic design. I also have a bit of a passion for open source software and primarily use open source programs like the GIMP, blender and inkscape for my contributions. I also heavily contribute graphics to OpenTTD.

I also spend far too much time on Wikipedia...

Why revert ?
You revert on Office Open XML. The edits made were adding ISO/IEC mentioning in the lead of article (normal lead info for ALL ISO standards) and removal of WP:NPOV opinionated comments by individuals on the licensing. Wikipedia is not an opinion poll. Please stick to factual information unless that is not available. Those are normal edits for an article. Were you asked by another wikipedian to revert for him ?

Invitation to look at edits on IQ reference chart
I see the article IQ reference chart has been tagged for expert review since October 2012. As part of a process of drafting a revision of that article in my user sandbox, I am contacting all Wikipedians who have edited that article since early 2009 for whom I can find a user talk page.

I have read all the diffs of all the edits committed to the article since the beginning of 2009 (since before I started editing Wikipedia). I see the great majority of edits over that span have been vandalism (often by I.P. editors, presumably teenagers, inserting the names of their classmates in charts of IQ classifications) and reversions of vandalism (sometimes automatically by ClueBot). Just a few editors have referred to and cited published reliable sources on the topic of IQ classification. It is dismaying to see that the number of reliable sources cited in the article has actually declined over the last few years. To help the process of finding reliable sources for articles on psychology and related topics, I have been compiling a source list on intelligence since I became a Wikipedian in 2010, and I invite you to make use of those sources as you revise articles on Wikipedia and to suggest further sources for the source on the talk pages of the source list and its subpages. Because the IQ reference chart article has been tagged as needing expert attention for more than half a year, I have opened discussion on the article's talk page about how to fix the article, and I welcome you to join the discussion. The draft I have in my user sandbox shows my current thinking about a reader-friendly, well sourced way to update and improve the article. I invite your comments and especially your suggestions of reliable sources as the updating process proceeds. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 20:15, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Avaray

Avaray is a commune in the Loir-et-Cher department in central France.

History
Avaray is a French territorial title belonging to a family some of whose members have been conspicuous in history. The Béarnaise family named Besiade moved into the province of Orléanais in the 17th century, and there acquired the estate of Avaray. In 1667 Theophile de Besiade, marquis d'Avaray, obtained the office of grand bailiff of Orleans, which was held by several of his descendants after him.

Claude Antoine de Besiade, marquis d'Avaray, was deputy for the bailliage of Orleans in the states-general of 1789, and proposed a Declaration of the Duties of Man as a pendant to the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen; he subsequently became a lieutenant-general in 1814, a peer of France in 1815, and duc d'Avaray in 1818. Antoine Louis Francois de Besiade, comte d'Avaray, son of the above, distinguished himself during the Revolution by his devotion to the comte de Provence, afterwards Louis XVIII, whose emigration he assisted. Having nominally become king in 1799, that prince created the estate of Ile-Jourdain a duchy, under the title of Avaray, in favour of the comte d'Avaray, whom he termed his "liberator".

Sights
The Château d'Avaray was built in the 16th century; of this building only four corner towers remain. In the 1730s a central building with two curving wings was erected. The park is magnificent and is said to have been designed by Le Nôtre.

Units of Measurement
Continuing this discussion from the Mississippi River page, while I agree it would be nice to have the simplicity and uniformity of a single system, the truth is that the vast majority of US natives and many from the UK use Imperial units and find SI confusing. If I were editing in the FR Wikipedia, I would argue strongly against including Imperial units, but our main goal here is to serve readers, and as this is the EN version of Wikipedia I support using language and units that are most familiar to EN speakers. —Papayoung ☯ 14:35, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Please note that I'm moving your response from my talk page to yours; like most editors I added your talk page to my watchlist when I posted here, so you could reply here; that way the discussion is all in one place.

 * Ok, I agree with you, I was a bit "franco-centric"... I asked a last question on the discussion page about the values source. --Gloumouth1 15:35, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * No worries. I've only been editing seriously for a few weeks, but I have learned how quickly my personal biases come to light when I engage in collaborative editing. I actually learn a lot about myself, doing this. And it was interesting to learn that it's been worked though (of course) long before now and is already a policy.

Hi Gloumouth, I'm pretty sure that it was OK to take photos, as our tour lady didn't stop me or other people taking photos of the impressive sculpture. I'm no lawyer, and I'm not sure if it is OK to license it the way I did, but I'm sure others will be able to find out. There was one sculpture we weren't allowed to photograph, but the tour lady made sure we knew. --Fir0002 05:24, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Your "descente infinie" sound file
I downloaded this file—you did create this (DescenteInfinie.ogg), didn't you?—and found it quite intriguing and entrancing.

As soon as I listened to it, I realized I wanted something more: a sound like this that could play continuously, arbitrarily long. So I'm wondering, do you see any way of doing that? Say by creating a MIDI loop or something?

Alternatively, if you could produce a sound file that could be seamlessly looped, where the end would mesh perfectly with the beginning, I could play it looped with a media player.

I think it would make really cool ambient sound. Look forward to any thoughts you might have. ==ILike2BeAnonymous 03:23, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Class ring

Miscellaneous
Does anybody know about the tradition of turning rings? I've been looking into the subject but really haven't found anything, any insight on this matter would be greatly appreciated. --MKultra 14:38, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Apparently, the insignia is supposed to be turned inward if wearing the class ring while in classes, then turned outward after graduating. DonaNobisPacem 06:13, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

 * From another site :
 * Class rings are worn with the point of the school crest pointing toward you until you graduate, when the ring is turned around (some schools, such as mine, have a special ceremony for this). The point facing outward symbolizes your leaving your school and going out into the world. DonaNobisPacem 06:16, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Apparently ring manufacturers recently have been telling ring buyers this, but every etiquette guide that mentions how one properly wears a class ring says otherwise. To wear any kind of signet ring with the insignia facing outward is highly pretentious; the point to wearing a class ring is not to "show off," but rather is to commemorate one's graduation.  See Vanderbilt, Complete Guide to Etiquette, as cited in the article. 66.140.75.57 16:25, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, I looked through the Vanderbilt Complete Guide to Etiquette, but couldn't find any mention of class rings. Since this is the only topic this article incorporates, care to cite a page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.159.83.207 (talk) 14:40, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

 * I think it is a little silly that this page says it should always be worn inward when it is traditional with most universities to have it inward while attending and turned outward at graduation. Has been a tradition at my school for many years. Even if Miss Manners said you SHOULD, tradition... and what most students actually do... should be noted.71.113.224.220 23:57, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

 * So, as far as a class ring for high school, the question is, after you've graduated from high school, do you wear the ring with the school's logo/crest/whatever facing towards you or do you wear it with the crest facing away from you? 98.193.77.218 04:39, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

 * The large majority of class rings for HS and College are worn with the "writing/design facing the user" while they are still in school, and are turned outward either at graduation or at Sr. event that represents the wearer "ready to face the world." I graduated HS 10 years ago, and that is the way we did it then. At my college Alma Mater, you get your ring the first part of your senior year and wear it with the design facing you. During the spring a few weeks before graduation there is a formal ball called "ring dance" when the ring is turned around and worn that way from then on out. People from my university wear their rings all of their lives, and it is always worn with the design facing outward, and it has always been that way for many years. 71.113.224.220 01:47, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I just entered some info on how the ring should be worn and when it should be turned outward - there's enough support on these discussion boards to confidently say that the ring should be turned outward. Additionally, when I got my college ring, I asked the Herff Jones rep how to wear the ring, and he told me to wear the insignia facing me while in school and to turn it outward when I graduate - there are many other people on here with a similar experience and very few people who beleive the ring should stay turned in - so I changed the text to reflect the majority opinion on here Xmacro (talk) 01:45, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Class Ring
Does anybody know which finger a class ring is typically put on?

 * I was just researching this very question - according to a couple of sites, it is supposed to be the right third (I assume they mean middle?) finger.DonaNobisPacem 06:13, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * right third (the "ring finger")--- the statement was excluding the thumb....meaning the finger to the RIGHT of the middle, next to the pinky. Unless you are military or the school has its own tradition for it, you should never wear a class ring on your left ring finger, as that is reserved as a marriage indicator. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.113.224.220 (talk) 01:54, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

VMI & Norwich Rings
See Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-04-22 Virginia Military Institute. Washington and Lee University's newspaper isn't a reliable source (for this claim) because it does no comparison of other rings.--Vidkun 14:21, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Check the facts, VMIs and Norwich rings are the largest allowed by US law. Norwich University(The First and Oldest Private Military College in the United States), VMI has always matched Norwich's rings.Koonoonga 15:45, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

 * US law sets ring standards? Now that would be a verifiable fact and a great addition to the article. What section of US law covers class rings? Rillian 18:07, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

 * None. This is an oft repeated claim by VMI, Norwich University and other military school graduates, that their rings are considered brass knuckles, or deadly weapons.  One editor on wikipedia (one of the VMI partisans) cited Virginia laws, except that there was no mention of ring weights in (or around) the section cited.  In fact a search of Virginia state laws shows NOTHING regarding ring weights.  This is an example of urban myth, and used to inflate the importance of the school.  As such, it has no place on wikipedia.--Vidkun 20:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Once again Vidkun, you are wrong. Check the source on this from VMI's discussion page, "The maximum allowed size for a VMI ring is 44 dwt., as anything greater is classified as a deadly weapon under the Code of Virginia, § 18.2-57."  Check the code before you speak next time Vidkun.  The statement on the class ring page is AMONG the largest.  We can all agree that 44 dwt. is AMONG the largest.  The statement stands.  What is it that is getting your panties in a knot over this factual statement?Koonoonga 20:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually, I did check the source: here. There is NO reference to weight of rings in that section, nor in any of the OTHER sections linked in that document.  Try again!--Vidkun 21:00, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

 * What is it that is getting your panties in a knot over this factual statement? Because it is NOT a factual statement, or at least it is not supported as such in the citation from Washington and Lee College. What CAN be reliably stated is that one reporter at Washington and Lee makes the claim that VMI rings are among the largest.  The fact that someone makes that claim is verifiable, the claim itself is not.--Vidkun 21:02, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

This article used to be an article
I read it a few years ago and it seemed like it needed clean up. While some of it might have been useless trivia - a lot of the info was good for wikipedia. I can't believe someone gutted the article.67.166.245.50 (talk) 06:18, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I read through your edits that ultimately lead to you pretty much single handedly gutting the article. Taking out references to the major ring manufacturers is just one of several poor editing decisions that you made.  You also removed a lot of unsourced information without giving users an opportunity to post a source.  In my experience, most unsourced information is just an oversight on the behalf of the OP.  I'm not about to dissect each and every edit you've made in which you removed information (you seem to have done each edit individually as opposed to just hacking it to pieces in one go) - but I figured I would give these as examples of poor wikipedia editing behavior.

 * This article, while far from perfect, used to be a decent source of encyclopedic information on wikipedia. Its a travesty that some trolling, anal retentive user could so casually gut an article like this and still have the audacity to defend his/her actions.  I would recommend going back to an earlier version.Drsocc (talk) 17:37, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Outside the U.S.
Class rings are also made in Canada, Mexico, and the Philippines.

Class rings in the Philippines
The American custom of wearing class rings was probably introduced in the Philippines during the American colonial period by the American colonial gendarmerie, the Philippine Constabulary. The basis for this assertion is the existence of a white metal (possibly gold-plated at one time) class ring, with plain shanks and a smooth, deep red, narrow, elliptical stone, surrounded by the words:  PHILIPPINE CONSTABULARY SCHOOL. The PC School graduated colonial constabulary officers from 1907 through 1916. The PCS was renamed PC Academy in 1916, and in 1935, renamed Philippine Military Academy. It is unknown when and where the class ring was made, for which class it was intended, or who owned it.

This article mentions a "West Point" school that has a different tradition. Is it really needed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scy1192 (talk • contribs) 02:28, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Given (i) that West Point started the class-ring tradition & (ii) the paucity of other sourced info, I'd suggest leaving it in for the meantime. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 04:09, 15 May 2009 (UTC) Norwich university the oldest private military academy in the nation started its own class ring tradition in the 1920's the size of the ring is now a 44 pennyweight

Aggie Ring
Seriously?!? Does that need to be linked to on "see also"? Why not just link to every high school and university? What the crap makes Texas A&M so friggin' special that they get linked to and nobody else does? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.113.116.173 (talk) 16:03, 9 July 2009 (UTC) -- Totally agree about Texas A and M... Who cares what they do with their rings... We might as well put any other college in this category. Most aggies I've met have been big 'ol dorks anyhow :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.165.55.34 (talk) 05:29, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Lilla Cabot Perry

Untitled
While I very much admire the work of Lilla Cabot Perry, I disagree with the statements that she is "responsible for introducing impressionism to her native United States" and (in the entry on American Impressionism) that "she introduced impressionism to the United States". These statements to not seem to accord with historical facts. For reference I use the book "American Impressonism, 2nd edition" by William Gerdts, who is generally acknowledged as the leading historian on American Impressionist art.

Lilla Cabot Perry first visited Giverny and Claude Monet in 1889.

Six years earlier, however, the first significant exhibition of French impressionism took place in Boston (Gerdts, pp. 50-52), with works by Manet, Pissarro, Renoir, Sisley, and Monet. Gerdts writes, "Thus for the first time the American public had an opportunity to view a full representation of the new aesthetic".

In 1886 a second, even larger exhibition of 290 French impressionist works from the famed dealer Durand-Ruel took place in New York. Gerdts writes that the exhibition had "an enormous impact".

While Perry may have attended one or both of these exhibitions, I haven't read any evidence that she had a role in their organization.

Neither was Perry the first American artist to visit Giverny and Monet, nor the first American artist to paint in an impressionist style. She was preceded in Giverny by Theodore Robinson, who moved in next door to Monet in 1888 and may have been there as early as 1886, and by John Leslie Breck and Dennis Miller Bunker. "Bunker's impressionist pictures and those sent from France by John Leslie Breck were among the earlist native Impressionist works seen in Boston in the late 1880s" (Gerdts, p. 85).

I cordially invite contributors familiar with the work of Lilla Cabot Perry and American Impressionism to provide evidence in support of the statements referenced above.

Source
I am unable to find a source for:
 * Much of Perry’s oeuvre was influenced by the time she spent with Stevens. The Letter [Alice Perry] (1893) clearly reveals Stevens' influence with Perry's elegant handling of the turned details of the chair, the careful attention paid to the coloration of the wood, and the tactile reality she imbued her daughter's garment with – every pleat of the dress evokes its three-dimensional fullness. All of this combined with Perry's careful handling of Alice’s face creates an emotional, introspective composition.

 * It may be in Martindale, but I cannot view the book and searches don't come up with something that ties Stevens with "The Letter". Is there a source for this?-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 17:26, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Another solo exhibition followed in 1911 at the Copley Gallery featuring her Lady with a Bowl of Violets (1910).-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 18:07, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Her translation of such dynamic styles into her intimate, everyday world created an oeuvre of art that provides intensely personal reflections on this Boston native's life.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 18:33, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:01, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 17:22, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

ISATAP

ISATAP (intra-site automatic tunnel addressing protocol) is an IPv6 transition mechanism meant to transmit IPv6 packets between dual-stack nodes on top of an IPv4 network. It is defined in the informational RFC 5214.

Unlike 6over4 (an older similar protocol using IPv4 multicast), ISATAP uses IPv4 as a virtual non-broadcast multiple-access network (NBMA) data link layer, so that it does not require the underlying IPv4 network infrastructure to support multicast.

Criticisms of ISATAP
ISATAP typically builds its PRL by consulting the DNS; hence, in the OSI model it is a lower-layer protocol that relies on a higher layer. A circularity is avoided by relying on an IPv4 DNS server, which does not rely on IPv6 routing being established; however, some network specialists claim that these violations lead to insufficient protocol robustness.

ISATAP carries the same security risks as 6over4: the IPv4 virtual link must be delimited carefully at the network edge, so that external IPv4 hosts cannot pretend to be part of the ISATAP link. That is normally done by ensuring that proto-41 (6in4) cannot pass through the firewall.

Implementations of ISATAP
ISATAP is implemented in Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, Windows Mobile, Linux, and in Cisco IOS (since IOS 12.2(14)S and IOS XE Release 2.1).

Due to a patent claim, early in-kernel implementations were withdrawn from both KAME (*BSD) and USAGI (Linux). However, the IETF IPR disclosure search engine reports that the would-be infringing patent's holder requires no license from implementers. ISATAP support has been supported in Linux since kernel version 2.6.25, the tool isatapd provides a userspace helper. For prior kernels, the open source project Miredo provided an incomplete userland ISATAP implementation, which was removed in version 1.1.6.
