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

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

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have questions about copyright tagging of images, post on Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags or User talk:Carnildo/images. 18:29, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

WP:AFL
Hi mate, I suggest you join WikiProject AFL if you love your footy, and also take a look at Category:Carlton Blues players and the Portal:Australian rules football. Drop us a line with any questions mate. Cheers,  R o  gerthat  Talk  08:56, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Nice work
Nicely done on all these Blues articles in particular mate. Keep up the good work mate, and be sure to spread the word of WP:AFL.  R o  gerthat  Talk  07:20, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Not sure what the "Welcome to Wikipedia" thing was about. I've been here for over a year. Orichalcon 01:02, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

West Coast Eagles players
thats a damn good effort adding all those West Coast player articles. how did you make them only a few minutes apart? Remy B 02:50, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I used a template and a couple of sites with the stats on them, then added the new information onto the template for each player. Takes longer for players that have been to 2 or more clubs. Orichalcon 02:52, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Nice
I see you've been told this before, but excellent work on the players for the AFL WikiProject. Sambo2612 13:41, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

How to fix the template "Infobox afl player" bug
Hi,

The template "Infobox afl player" you use has currently a bug for the "careerhighlights=" section, which, I see, obliged you to use a BR kludge, such as:

| careerhighlights=  * Brisbane Lions Rising Star Nomination 2001 * Brisbane Lions Best First Year Player 2001

Two informations that would be useful for your work:

1) As a temporary kludge, you can have a better result with the infamous NOWIKI kludge:

| careerhighlights= * Brisbane Lions Rising Star Nomination 2001 * Brisbane Lions Best First Year Player 2001

The difference being that you won't have an empty line any more between the blue header and the bulletted list of highlights. I have used it on Robert Copeland for instance, cf. the new page code.

2) As a permanent fix, see the code for the Template:Infobox Album, which had the very same bug for years (in its bulletted "Professional reviews" section). It was fixed some months ago (see the template's code, or I think it was [] who found the trick), so the solution exists. Fixing your template the same way they fixed their, would allow you to get a perfect result with just the plain code:

| careerhighlights= * Brisbane Lions Rising Star Nomination 2001 * Brisbane Lions Best First Year Player 2001

Humourous
"Australian's spell it humourous"... Not according to my best researches. See. Thanks for your interest. --Spellmaster 15:46, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I, and everyone else I've known has always spelled it "humourous". So I guess you can bite my arse on that one. It's the Australian spelling, regardless of whether it's in your little american or british dictionaries. Orichalcon 16:24, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * You may want to see a copy of the Macquarie Dictionary, the standard Australian reference dictionary, which lists "humorous" as being correct, or User talk:Spellmaster. It is very unlikely indeed that I would want to "bite your arse", and Wikipedia does not use how you and everybody else you know spells words as a standard, but prefers to go with verifiable references. Best wishes, --Guinnog 01:30, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * You didn't find my "Bite my arse" comment humourous? That's unfortunate. Orichalcon 04:37, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, but more humorous really! --Guinnog 07:11, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

CFC GF's
Yeah, the team lists probably don't need to go on the Carlton page. Since there is an article on the 1945 VFL Grand Final, I think grand finals can warrant their own wiki page - but they'd need a bit more info than just Carlton's team list (which could be hard for say, the 1906 premiership).

Antipodes
I know it was a long, long, long time ago, but your comment on the Perth Talk page about the antipodes of Perth being New Mexico, not the Bahamas was wrong. 115E is opposite 65W, not 115W, as it starts from 0 and increases in both directions, hence you need to subtract your longitude from 180 to find the antipode... think of Paris at about 5E... opposite is 175W, not 5W!

It might be a good idea as that would seperate it from the Kibbutz. Will it impact on the links? Telaviv1 17:20, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Conflict between Ma'abarot] and [[Itzik Zohar articles regarding whether they were still around in the 1970's
The article on ma'abarot says the last one closed in 1963.

The article on Itzik Zohar says he was born in 1970 and grew up in a ma'abara.

Obviously, one of these most be wrong and should be corrected. I don't know which. But they cannot both be right.

"Milk distribution at a ma'abara" in an empty field...
This image in very unlikely and does not show historical reality. Transit camps were crowded as we can see in the first image ; the economic situation in Israel was very serious in this period (see the chapter "Austerity", in Dvora Hacohen,Immigrants in Turmoil: Mass Immigration to Israel and Its Repercussions in the 1950s and After, Syracuse University Press, 2003, p.103, https://books.google.fr/books?redir_esc=y&hl=fr&id=hCw6v0TFhdMC&q=revolt#v=onepage&q=food&f=false), and there were rebellions in the camps, etc. I remove the image of ""Milk distribution" --2A01:CB00:980:7A00:6851:B58D:ABB4:28D9 (talk) 20:05, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

False edit summary
Gilabrand. What are you doing passing off as a ce or elimination of repetitive matter what is a careful elision of important material? Since, as one can document, a consistent measure of repressing memory of the Ma'abarot realities was practiced in Israel for decades, editing out stuff that represses details like those below look like attempts to elide uncomfortable matter, on the pretext of simply doing editorial drudgery. here you remove "When immigration from Poland became feasible in 1949, Polish Jews were given precedence, and plans were made to allocate rooms for them in hotels or in apartments that had been designated for Oriental Jews. By January 1953, most European Jewish families had been housed outside of the transit camps, 90% of whose population then consisted of Jews from Oriental communities."

That is a very concrete instance of the discrimination in favour of Ashkenazis over Sephardis which lies at the heart of a considerable amount of scholarship on the period, connected to this topic, much of which editors have so far ignored.

And again, in copyediting "Conditions in the camps were, according to the contemporary witness of Eliyahu Dobkin in 1949, a “holy horror.” David Ben-Gurion opposed for economic reasons pressures to improve the ma'abarot, stating that this would be tantamount to pampering tent-dwellers affirming that 'People can live for years in tents. Anyone who doesn’t want to live in them needn’t bother coming here."

You pare it down to "When Eliyahu Dobkin protested these conditions, David Ben-Gurion replied that 'People can live for years in tents. Anyone who doesn’t want to live in them needn’t bother coming here"

This is flawed on several accounts. Grammatically the source does not state, as your version implies, that Ben-Gurion was reacting to Eliyahu Dobkin's remark. It omits that B-G's objection was to wasting public monies on improving conditions for people in tents, and his belief that tent-dwellers were being 'spoiled'(source) as it was, and improvements would only 'pamper' them. If you can't retain the substance of RS in your 'copy-editing' you shouldn't call it a ce. The more appropriate terms for what you did are censorship, toning down, elision of material out of distaste for the facts, etc.Nishidani (talk) 16:27, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * If you have sourced information that you think belongs, then put it where it belongs and state the facts in proper English with proper sourcing (not op-eds). There is no excuse for large chunks of POV content stuck here and there and everywhere in this pitiful text trying to prove some point which has nothing to do with purpose of the article, which is to explain what a ma'abara is. You and the other editors apparently have no clue. That is obvious from your mishmash of facts and images.Geewhiz (talk) 16:44, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Oh and the Dobkin quote comes from nowhere, so you can delete it altogether.
 * Nonsense. In your haste to play down the content, you ignored that I had sourced information coming from a research fellow at the Hebrew University’s Truman Institute for the Advancement of Peace, who knows more on the subject than you or I since she did groundwork on the topic. It belonged to the article, and I placed it where it was appropriate. The Dobkin quote is in that source, not from 'nowhere'. All research can be 'spun' as trying to 'prove a point'. Do a PhD. That is one of the first questions made by any reviewing professoriate -all research if it is to be noteworthy must show originality by proving a point. Your notion of facts is obscure, since everything you elided is part of the factual record.Nishidani (talk) 18:07, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree 100% with Gilabrand. You took an opinion piece by someone who is not a historian and sprinkled it across the article in the encyclopedia's neutral voice in order to prove a point that has nothing to do with this article, thus violating both NPOV and DUE. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 03:58, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Nope again. It is not an opinion piece. And please drop the personal attack implicit in the assertion that editors you disagree with for adding material are POV pushers, while whenever you or an editor you concur with excises information, it is encyclopedic and neutral. The topic is noted as very sensitive in Israel, one glossed over for decades, and the insinuation you are making can just as easily be turned on its head.Nishidani (talk) 15:10, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * You know why that's funny? Because you call other editors POV pushers practically daily. Maybe you didn't notice. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 05:12, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Katz and Rossetto
The two sources and footnote quotes below were removed from the article earlier today without explanation.

Does anyone object to them being reintroduced to the article?

Onceinawhile (talk) 17:46, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * The two sources were elided because you used them to back a perfectly legitimate point in the lead, which however,-NMMGG is correct on this- has a summary function. The sentence the two quotes support should be returned to the lead, and the quotes then reintroduced in the main text, something complaining editors should have done.Nishidani (talk) 18:07, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I removed an obvious POV push from the lead which honestly I doubt you thought would stand. I also removed the sources that went with it.
 * As to the sources, Rosetto is talking about "the idea of the 'One Million Plan'" ie bringing in a very large number of immigrants in a short period, not about the plan itself. So it doesn't really support what you used it for.
 * I think you may not have noticed Katz's specialty is architecture. Previously, you quite strongly objected to using non-historians as sourcing for history. Would you like some quotes? No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 04:04, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * To your first point, I am fine to use the phrase “following the idea of the One Million Plan” per Rossetto.
 * To your second point, Political Geography (journal) is one of the most well respected and high profile journals in this space. The second sentence of the abstract notes that the paper is intended to deconstruct “official Israeli history, which presents the immigrant camps as an inevitable improvised response to the unexpected problem of mass immigration”. We are quoting the central thrust of her work in a very high profile journal focused exclusively on political geography. I can’t think of any higher quality source. If you still take a different view, please raise at WP:RSN.
 * Finally, you cast aspersions about POV. Please explain what you mean.
 * Onceinawhile (talk) 07:36, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * So just to be clear, if an academic (of whatever discipline) is published by a high quality press/journal that's considered high quality RS? Because you strongly disagreed when I said that in the past with sources you didn't like.
 * You may have also noticed Katz is making claims here that historians specializing in the OMP don't make. You objected to the use of sources in similar situations in the past as well. I wouldn't want to think you change your criteria for inclusion of sources based on whether or not they support your POV, so if you could clear this up that would be great. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 10:58, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Katz's PhD was on Architectural History in Architectural History and Theory, University of Cambridge, 2016, ergo an historian. Stating 'historians specializing in the OMP don't make' a certain claim implies you have a total mastery of everything written on the OMP by historians specializing in that topic (if such exist). Where is your authority for this claim?Nishidani (talk) 11:54, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Please read what I wrote more carefully and if you still have any questions do let me know. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 12:49, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * No. You haven't taken care to read what I wrote, by the same token. This is, as is often the case, going down silly lane.Nishidani (talk) 15:05, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm glad that's settled. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 15:18, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * As to a work on architecture not being appropriate for history, by coincidence, since my father was an architect, I grew up reading Banister Fletcher's classic History of Architecture, which taught generations to read the historicity of a built landscape. You might not need an historian of architecture to tell you how batei olim and ma'abarot, differ, but if such a source deals with these historical distinctions, it is more than acceptable.  The objection is spurious, esp. since Gilabrand introduced an excellent source by the TAU lecturer on architecture, Roy Kozlovsky, and no one thought up this kind of objection there.Nishidani (talk) 08:13, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

I agree with nnmg analysis .The WP:ONUS is on those who want to add the material please gain a consensus for those sources --Shrike (talk) 13:48, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * For the nth time Shrike. Consensus is based not on a number's game but on the cogency of argument. This is not a vote.Nishidani (talk) 14:59, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * FWIW I think Katz can be used, but should be attributed for several reasons - her expertise is architecture, what she's saying is not a common interpretation of the events (possibly FRINGE?), she actually declares the purpose of the article is political (deconstructing a political body's claims). She should also be given due WEIGHT (ie not the second sentence of the lead). I just found it amusing that in similar circumstances but opposite POV Onceinawhile rejects sources completely.
 * I'm not sure what Rossetto's credentials are, but she just mentions the One Million Plan once in passing so again this is pretty weak sourcing and was obviously UNDUE. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 14:12, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Looks like I missed Rosetto's credentials at the bottom of her article. She's a PhD candidate. That's a no from me, dawg. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 15:18, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * You need to fix the tense - the article in question was the outcome of her PhD research, and she obtained her doctorate shortly afterwards, and is now a post-doctoral teaching fellow at Graz University's Centre for Jewish Studies, specializing in Jewish diasporas, and is productively publishing in specialist journals in three languages. WP:SCHOLARSHIP will tell you that there, depending on various parameters of assessment, no intrinsic reason for ruling out an article of that quality. Of course, distaste will always cast a no vote.Nishidani (talk) 16:01, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 11:17, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Other scholars
It’s great that we have consensus on the Katz source. Rossetto’s paper was published in a peer reviewed journal, so if anyone is unsure please feel free to discuss at WP:RSN. Of course, the connection between the Ma’abarot and the One Million Plan is discussed by other scholars, so perhaps we don’t need to argue about every single name. For example, here are two more:

Any further comments before this is added into the article? Onceinawhile (talk) 22:18, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I also think it's great we have consensus that Katz can be used attributed and given not too much weight. Rossetto mentions this in passing once in a footnote. How much weight do you think that should get? Kozlovsky (another architect?), says it "appears" there's some connection, so this is his opinion and should be stated as such.
 * Ohana is really the only source you provided who not only has the expertise and isn't trying to "deconstruct" anything, but addresses these things in depth. I think we should add more from him to the OMP article. But for here, did you read the few sentences before the one your quote starts in the middle of? He explicitly says the plan wasn't implemented but that some of their ideas and research were used.
 * So taking all that into account, what exactly do you want to add to the article and where? If you're going to try to make the second sentence of the lead say maabarot were the result of the OMP I can tell you right now I don't agree and will remove it. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 11:17, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Excellent. We can add detail into the article. As to how exactly the lead should reflect the OMP’s part in the history of the Maabarot, I don’t mind so long as it is a fair reflection. How about something anodyne like: “the concept was first developed in the partially-implemented 1944 One Million Plan”?
 * Onceinawhile (talk) 11:35, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * No. Not "partially-implemented". Ohana explicitly says the OMP was not implemented, footnoted to the seminal work on the subject by Hacohen. I also don't think they were the ones to develop the concept of refugee camps.
 * Anyhow, we should first write something in the body, then summarize in the lead not the other way around. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 13:45, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Ohana says “An important part of the [One Million Plan] Planning Committee's plans and recommendations were implemented”. Crystal clear.
 * Onceinawhile (talk) 16:55, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * There was a plan. It was shelved and wasn't implemented for practical reasons. A few years later parts of what the planners suggested was implemented not as part of the plan. That's not a partially-implemented plan. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 05:15, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * An important part of the Committee's plans and its recommendations was implemented (Ohana). That is what the source says, and what we can write on the basis of that authority.Nishidani (talk) 09:15, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Once, your work is pointless; you cannot change reality by changing Wikipedia. You salary for that is a waste and you shall find yourself increasingly uneasy with your strange devotion to it.GreyShark (dibra) 10:50, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
 * What is the academic position of Katz? She doesn't seems neither a Dr. nor Professor. It may fail the notability threshold.GreyShark (dibra) 10:52, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Of course she is a Dr. (PhD from Cambridge). She also has a long list of academic publications on the subject of migrant camps. Clearly one of the most qualified authors here. Zerotalk 12:17, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Sleeper ship

Outland
Sleeper ships are also used in the movie "Outland", starring Sean Connery. The movie takes place on one of the moons of Jupiter (or possibly Saturn), thus we're talking interplanetary travel.--Peter Knutsen 03:31, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Deepwater Black
Technically the twin ships from Ken Catran's Deepwater Black series are sleeper ships, because they have cryogenic sleeping capsules that are used during the story. They aren't heavily explained, just that they have Martian rain crystal (some kind of heavily reinforced glass-like substance) coverings. Should probably be mentioned in the examples. - NemFX 03:17, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Planet of the Apes
The ship found in Planet of the Apes should be in the list. Ran4 05:35, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Civilization Series
It's very popular, and one of the methods of victory is to construct as sleeper ship. I think it is important enough to note. 76.20.40.198 (talk) 14:34, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Norwegian Lady Statues

The Norwegian Lady Statues are located in the sister cities of Moss, a coastal town and municipality in the county of Østfold, Norway, and at the Oceanfront (boardwalk) in the coastal resort city of Virginia Beach, Virginia in the United States. They commemorate the lives lost in the 1891 shipwreck of the Norwegian barque Dictator off the coast of Virginia Beach and the lifesaving efforts of the community.

Wreck of the Dictator
On Good Friday, March 27, 1891, the Norwegian barque Dictator, whose home port was the coastal town of Moss, Norway, was lost in the Atlantic Ocean south of the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay off Virginia Beach, Virginia. The Dictator had a crew of 15 and the captain's family aboard. The sailing ship had been en route to West Hartlepool, England from Pensacola, Florida with a cargo of Georgia Pine lumber. After being caught and disabled in several storms along the East Coast of the United States, she was headed up the coast for port at Hampton Roads at Norfolk, Virginia to make repairs when she encountered gale force winds.

Just a few miles south of Cape Henry, and the comparative shelter of the Chesapeake Bay, the sailing ship was driven aground on a sandbar over 300 yards (300 m) offshore of Virginia Beach near present-day 37th street. Her only two lifeboats were destroyed as the main mast and other rigging fell onto the deck. As the vacationing guests of the Princess Anne Hotel and area residents of the small new resort town watched, members from Seatack and Cape Henry Lifesaving Stations of the United States Lifesaving Service (a predecessor agency of the United States Coast Guard) worked in the high winds and seas at rescue efforts beginning about 10:45 A.M.

Combined with efforts of the ship's crew, 8 of the 17 persons aboard were saved using several methods including a breeches buoy before it was too dark to continue. Johanne Jørgensen, the pregnant young wife of Captain Jørgen M. Jørgensen, and their 4-year-old son Carl Zealand Jørgensen, were among those who drowned in a final escape attempt as the ship broke up. One more sailor survived, but five other sailors were also drowned. The Captain was somehow spared and washed ashore semi-conscious, but still alive.

Captain Jørgensen and the 9 surviving members of his crew were taken to Norfolk. They were aided by the Norwegian Consul and various religious and benevolent shipping groups. All but one of those drowned were buried in Norfolk's Elmwood Cemetery. The remaining sailor, whose body washed ashore a few days later after the wreck, was interred at a local cemetery near the Oceanfront.

In those days, the tragic shipwreck of the Dictator (and the resulting loss of life) was not an unusual event for the local citizenry in this northernmost area of the Graveyard of the Atlantic. The treacherous waters in the area extend south along the North Carolina coast and had claimed many hundreds of vessels. However, as an impromptu memorial was erected shortly thereafter, the story of the Dictator and the souls aboard her would become part of both local tradition and legend in coastal Princess Anne County and Virginia Beach.

Ship's figurehead: Norwegian Lady memorial
Since early days of navigation, a ship's figurehead had often been a feature intended in some way to help ensure a safe and prosperous voyage. After the breakup and sinking of the Dictator, the ship's wooden female figurehead had washed ashore nearby. Spotted by a young guest, it was retrieved by the manager of the Princess Anne Hotel. He subsequently had it placed in a vertical position facing the ocean near the boardwalk as a memorial to those who lost their lives in the shipwreck. Known as the "Norwegian Lady", it was a landmark at Virginia Beach's Boardwalk at 16th street for more than 60 years as the town became incorporated in 1906 and grew to become a small city in 1923.

In the brutal coastal weather, the figurehead gradually became weathered and eroded. Then, during Hurricane Barbara in 1953, it was significantly damaged and was removed to a city-owned building for safe-keeping. Subsequently, a few years later, city officials could not locate it, speculating that it had been stolen, or destroyed by accident. Figureheads had long-since been discontinued as a feature of most ships, but the Norwegian Lady had become more than a mere ship's figurehead to the people of Virginia Beach; she was a memorial and a community icon.

New statues for sister cities
As the story of the lost memorial grew in Virginia Beach, community interest spread across the ocean to Moss. A drive began at both ends to replace the memorial. With a substantial contribution of the Norwegian Shipping Association, enough funds were raised to pay for not just a replacement for Virginia Beach, but two new statues.

Norwegian sculptor Ørnulf Bast was commissioned to create two nine-foot bronze replicas of the original figurehead. The Norwegian Lady statues were unveiled on September 22, 1962. One was presented as a gift to Virginia Beach, and an exact duplicate was erected in Moss, Norway to unite the two cities. Each statue gives the appearance of facing the other across the Atlantic Ocean (but in reality, the directions of their respective gazes are almost perpendicular to each other).

Moss and Virginia Beach officially became sister cities in 1974. Every year on the anniversary of the wreck, the Ladies Auxiliary of the Virginia Beach Volunteer Fire Department places a wreath at the base of the statue there. On October 13, 1995, during a state visit, Her Majesty Queen Sonja of Norway visited the Norwegian Lady statue in Virginia Beach, and placed memorial flowers.

The statue in Moss receives similar honors. Virginia Beach officials have traveled to Moss, and paid similar respects to the "other" Norwegian Lady.

On the pedestal of the Virginia Beach statue, these words are inscribed:

"I am the Norwegian Lady. I stand here, as my sister before me, to wish all men of the sea safe return home."

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 is a bridge digital camera by Panasonic. It is the successor of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20. The highest-resolution pictures it records is 8 megapixels.

The camera has a 12× optical zoom Leica lens and OIS (optical image stabilization). The optical zoom can be increased to 19.1× optical zoom by decreasing the picture resolution to 3 megapixels. It uses proprietary lithium-ion batteries and MMC/SD card storage. High-speed SD cards up to 2 GB are supported. There is no storage built into the camera; a memory card is required for all use.

The manual zoom ring allows a smooth progression from 35–420 mm equivalent and silent zooms when recording movies. The camera also includes an "extended optical zoom" system providing greater optical zoom ability when shooting at lower resolutions, giving up to 19.3× optical zoom at 3 MP. Apertures from f/2.8 to f/11 are supported, though the larger apertures are not available at high zoom levels (f/3.7 at full zoom). Shutter speeds range from 60 secs to 1/2000 sec. Auto-focus and a "Macro" autofocus modes are available, or a fluid-damped focus ring can be used. The AF-macro setting can be selected for all camera modes. The camera also has a macro capability (5 cm minimum focal range at 1× zoom).

Wide angle and telephoto lens adapters are available from Panasonic. The wide angle converter shoots at 0.7x magnification (24.5 mm) with f/2.8 brightness, while the telephoto adapter provides 1.7× magnification (714 mm) with f/3.7 aperture. Maximum optical zoom available when taking photos at 3 MP is thus 32.47x (1137.5 mm). It is also possible to achieve greater limits of wide angle/macro and zoom capability with third-party lens converters, which can be attached to the standard 55 mm filter thread.

The FZ30 can also record in TIFF format, and in a RAW format which is supported by Adobe Camera Raw and many other third-party programs. RAW files are recorded in around three seconds with fast SD cards, which is one of the best results among non-DSLR cameras.

Aside from the ability to capture images in RAW format, the FZ30 improves upon its predecessor – the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20 – by adding a screw mount to accept 55 mm lens filters, and contains a fully internal zoom and focus mechanism, meaning the lens does not physically extend or retract outside of the camera housing. This non-extending lens offers the added feature of a reduced startup time: 1 second as opposed to 3–5 for the FZ20. The FZ30 also boasts an improved control layout, with revisions made based on feedback by users of the FZ20. However, the fixed lens added greatly to the size of the camera.

This model has been replaced by the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50. As of 2016, the latest camera in this range is the Lumix FZ330 (designated as the FZ300 in America).

Panasonic received the DIWA Platinum Award for the Lumix DMC-FZ30 on February 14, 2006.

Reggie Duff

Reginald Alexander Duff (17 August 1878 – 13 December 1911) was an Australian cricketer who played in 22 Tests between 1902 and 1905.

Duff made his Test debut along with Warwick Armstrong, against England at Melbourne in 1901–02 and scored 104 after being held back until No. 10 in the second innings due to a bad pitch. This innings was the first instance of a Test No. 10 scoring a hundred on debut and one of only four centuries from that low in the order by anyone. He was a specialist batsman and opened in the second innings of the next Test. He also scored a century in his last Test match, becoming the first batsman to score a century on Test debut as well as a century in his final Test.

Abul Hasan of Bangladesh became the second man to score a Test century at debut at No. 10 in 2012.

Duff's career was plagued by alcoholism, and he lost his life at the age of 33 in 1911. His former colleagues from his home state of New South Wales paid for his funeral.

Ric Sissons wrote a biography of Duff in 2015, Reggie, five years of fame, Reg Duff’s story. He was discussed briefly by Mike Atherton and Mark Butcher during the 2022 test at Trent Bridge, due to the absence of ducks during his Test Career.

Talk:Devin Grayson

Too brief
Apart from being all too brief this article lacks details: Date of Birth; why she changed her name and what the original was (this may not be public knowledge); more detailed biography; bibliography.

For the record she's one of my favourite authors, but

''Some critics, however, have charged that Grayson's success is based more on notoriety (and her relationship with the highly successful Waid) than actual talent. A number of fans have complained that her work is poorly paced and prone to narrative excess, with verbose dialogue and captions attempting to compensate for actual story telling. None of her books have sold particularly well, some argue, and those that do, it is claimed, do so because Grayson is paired on those books with highly popular artists, such as "good girl" artist Jim Balent.''

seems very POV.

Also, a sad lack of citations.
 * Cerv 03:45, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I would have to agree, and I'm considering putting the POV template on this article. Since the passage tacitly admits that some of Grayson's titles have sold well, it's highly subjective to attribute that to the artist.Bjones 18:35, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I don't find her particularly stellar as a writer, but this article is clearly slanted and seems to smack of libel.

It's pretty clearly POV pushing - the claim has gone in a couple of times from the same IP address. Phil Sandifer 18:20, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Name change
This article used to mention the reason that Devin changed her name. Why was this information removed, did she object to it? -- Macduff 22:45, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Unsourced perhaps? If there was a good citation, it wouldn't really matter if she objected or not.  Ford MF 00:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I put in the fact that Devin had changed her name "(birth name unknown)" and it was removed. Why was this done? Here's what she has to say on the matter. -- Macduff 14:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Devin's name is misspelled. Her middle name is "Kalile," not "Kallie." I tried to correct this but was not able to.

 * How do you know which is the correct middle name? Both of them are given in the interview. Macduff 04:43, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, newbie here. Please use/delete info however it helps article. Not a wiki pro here. Devin's middle name is Kalile. She has mentioned childhood abuse in numerous interviews online as to her reason for name change. http://goodcomics.blogspot.com/2005/12/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-27.html "Devin Kalile Grayson is my real and legal name. It's what's on my driver's license, passport, social security, etc. I've never written under a pseudonym. I was born with a different name, but had it legally changed in my early twenties - well before I was working in comics or even thinking about such - in response to sexual abuse issues in my childhood that made me feel like I needed to distance myself from my past a little bit psychologically. I told this to Wizard magazine when they interviewed me for the very first time something like seven years ago and said they could run that as part of the story as long as they were willing to include some phone numbers for national sexual abuse hotlines, but they didn't want the piece to be a "downer."

I guess someone got the rumor into circulation without the context, and that actually has been a little painful for me, just since the whole idea was to move on from that part of my life, and now I get constantly asked about it. Believe me, if I'd known I'd be writing Bat-books someday, I would have picked a different last name."

Devin has not been communication director at DD since 2007. She left there to become the Marketing Director for PlayFirst.com, a casual PC game company in San Francisco, from 09/2007-02/2009 and also acted as their online forum moderator, operating under the username Nemone. She became infamous for her first rant/blog post there. http://www.playfirst.com/blog/playfirst/123.html

She is currently unemployed according to her Facebook as of 02/2009. Sobe2009 (talk) 03:28, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Relationship to Mark Waid
I noticed that earlier edits of this article have made reference to Grayson's relationship with Waid. Why was this removed? I added a small bit about it towards the end of the article, but I can't find a good, reliable source to attribute the information to. Anybody know of a site or resource that could be sourced? --Bluedeanie (talk) 21:25, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Wagah

Untitled
I really hope someone adds to this I've seen this on various shows like Michael Palin's 'Himalaya' as well as elsewhere. It is one of the most fascinating things I've ever seen. The pomp and symbolism of beating the retreat is really powerful. I added that Wagah is pretty much inbetween Lahore and Amritsar, though I'm not sure 'Indo-Pak' is desirable for an Encyclopædia it was redundant to say India and Pakistan twice. I also added the Hindi and Urdu, looking them up in BBC:Urdu and BBC:Hindi, so I'm not 100% sure they are correct - especially as they don't correspond. I'm thinking واگهه makes more sense. In any case the Gurmukhi is also in order, ਵਾਘਾ, ਵਾਹਗਹ, ਵਾਘਹ, etc? I also added the link to the pictures of Pakistani Rangers. I wish an Indian or Pakistani near Wagah would take a day trip there and take some pictures to put up here! Khiradtalk 04:51, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Doesnt Michael Palin talk in his documentary how even though it looks aggressive its carefully arranaged between both the pakistan and indian border gaurds.Corustar 00:46, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Aggressive posturing
Both sides have given up 'aggressive posturing'. To refer to India alone implies that the Pakistan side alone insists on maintaining this stance. The sentence clearly hints at anti-Pakistan prejudice by whomever added it in the first instance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Labcoat (talk • contribs)

 * If you can substantiate the claim that Pakistan has also abandoned its aggressive posturing, please do so. Since there is a news item that states that India has given such posturing up, it has been mentioned in the article; it does not imply any anti-Pakistan bias. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Subravenkat (talk • contribs)

 * I'm sorry but the suggestion that the Pakistan side maintains 'aggresive posturing' in the absence of the same on the Indian side is completely absurd. It is well known that the ceremony is closely choregraphed by both sides working in co-operation.  The implication of the sentence is clear.  It is intended to reflect your own wider perception / prejudice that Pakistan (as a whole) has an aggresive stance towards a friendly India.  You are of course entitled to your opinion, but I'm afraid that it has no place in a Wikipedia article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Labcoat (talk • contribs)

 * I disagree that there is any implication that Pakistan continues to be 'hostile' to a 'friendly' India. The information that India has given up its 'aggressive postures' is clearly substantiated by the news item to which the link has been provided. If there is verifiable information that Pakistan has also foregone such posturing, it is welcome to be posted in this article. (And please refrain from using adjectives like 'absurd'; Wikipedia discourages the use of such terms in discussions). Subravenkat 21:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

 * The suggestion that India has given up "aggressive posturing" has not been substantiated. A single sentence 'news item' included in an online Indian nationalist newspaper, which offers no justification or elaboration on the point, hardly represents an impartial or appropriate source to cite from for such a serious event.  The sentence in the article has very obvious underlying implications and is clearly designed to be provocative.  It has no natural place in the article, which as it stands offers a fairly concise summary of the topic.  Once again, please act in the best interests of the articles and refrain from using Wikipdedia articles to push your own agenda, whatever that may be.  Thank you.

 * Having been to Wagah border to see this ceremony just last week (22/03/09) it is hard to say that either side has given up or lowered their aggressive posturing. I was rather disappointed to see those aggressive moves and an underlying message of hate for each other. As a promoter of peaceful relationship between both sides, in my opinion, steps showing positive attitutde towards each other shall be included in this ceremony, the agressive body language shall be minimized, while keeping the impressive parade and flag lowering activites intact.

Spelling
Please can some one update "colorful" to it's proper spelling?

Only Border Crossing
Is Wagah really the *only* road from Pakistan to India? Looking at googlemaps I see others, e.g. the Kasur-Ganda-Singh border crossing. Just because the BBC said in an article that Wagah is the only one does not make this true. Can someone who is familiar with the situation please confirm or disconfirm this? Rilkas (talk) 03:14, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

OK, judging from the other articles on border crossings it appears that the claim is correct since the others have been closed, although they still appear on maps. False alarm... Rilkas (talk) 03:29, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Wagah Title
The article states that in Pakistan the village is named Wahga. Seeing as this is a modern village in Pakistan, according to the article, shouldn't the article be named Wahga with it taking a dominant role in the article over Wagah? If not could someone clarify what the statement "Wagah, named Wahga in Pakistan" means? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:9602:6800:446E:7765:2E15:18C9 (talk) 00:05, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Wagah → Wahga – The official English spelling is WaHGa and not Wagah. According to the Punjab Gazette published on 22 August 2017, Wahga Zone has been established, replacing Wahga Tehsil according to the new Local government in Punjab act. See #7. Within the same document, Wagha is referred to as Union Council (UC 181). Also on Google Maps, it's also spelled "Wahga". I'd request a name change. HudairaViki (talk) 00:04, 5 June 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. –Ammarpad (talk) 02:38, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Note that we have articles at Wagah-Attari border ceremony, Wagah railway station, Lahore–Wagah Branch Line, and 2014 Wagah border suicide attack. Dekimasu よ! 22:53, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose as proposed. The citations in the article show that the BBC, The New York Times, and The Nation use Wagah, and no evidence has been provided that might show Wahga to be the WP:COMMONNAME in English. Note that we do not necessarily use official names: WP:OFFICIAL. Dekimasu よ! 22:57, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Those can easily be changed. And the name is present from the official Government of Punjab document I provided with you. The spelling Wagah comes from Indian news sources. Not sure why the Indian spelling is being promoted on here, despite this being a Pakistani village. --HudairaViki (talk) 19:09, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Again, we do not necessarily use official names. The BBC, The New York Times, and The Nation are not Indian news sources; there does not appear to be any promotion involved. Dekimasu よ! 04:39, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
 * So essentially what you're saying is that the official English spelling of a TOWN IN PAKISTAN will be dictated to by the New York Times. That's absolutely outrageous and unacceptable. News sources in many cases refer to the Wiki article for spelling, despite the fact Google Maps and the Punjab government spell it properly. --HudairaViki (talk) 14:32, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Presumably the official spelling is determined by the town itself. However, the official spelling is not necessarily the title used on Wikipedia. Wikipedia article titles have nothing to do with determining, establishing, or dictating official names. They reflect usage. Dekimasu よ! 20:49, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Our naming convention for places is not necessarily dictated by the official spelling — it's dictated by the spelling that's actually seen in the wild, regardless of whether that spelling is "official" or not. Bearcat (talk) 17:32, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Support Isn't it policy that when we discuss a topic on a country, we use that country's spelling/grammar? I myself was corrected on this almost a year ago.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 05:48, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * This presupposes that the common usage in Pakistan is "Wahga", which also has not been shown. Pakistan Railways lists the train station Wagah railway station on its site. Pakistan's The Express Tribune and Pakistan Today and Daily Pakistan all use "Wagah". Dekimasu よ! 18:26, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Oppose, the current name is common. Khestwol (talk) 19:31, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Correct location of Wagah
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagah states that Wagah is in Pakistan, not in India. This is false since according to Google Maps (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Wagah/@31.604757,74.5719473,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x391912bcf27f495d:0x325315a52b19a1a9!8m2!3d31.604757!4d74.574136), Wagah is in India and Pakistan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.148.220.33 (talk) 14:14, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Yes, the village straddles the border, but I agree that most of it seems to be in Pakistan according to the map. I've reverted the recent edits assigning the village to India because the claim is not supported by the reference.  Dbfirs  15:22, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

 * If you let Google Maps show local government boundaries, it appears to show that the Wagah border gate (Indian side) is actually in the village of Hardo Rattan. This perhaps suggests that the development on the Indian side is more recent, serving tourists and visitors, and has been built on land already part of an older village, rather than being a part of a place called Wagah which predated partition. I find it hard to think that the border line at partition would have been drawn through a village, rather than following the older borders between villages.[] Wymspen (talk) 11:43, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Teniposide

Teniposide (trade name Vumon) is a chemotherapeutic medication used in the treatment of childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), Hodgkin's lymphoma, certain brain tumours, and other types of cancer. It is in a class of drugs known as podophyllotoxin derivatives and slows the growth of cancer cells in the body.

Medical uses
Teniposide is used for the treatment of a number of cancer types in children. In the US, it is approved for the second-line therapy of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in combination with other antineoplastic drugs. In Europe, it is also approved for the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma, generalized malignant lymphoma, reticulocyte sarcoma, acute leukaemia, primary brain tumours (glioblastoma, ependymoma, astrocytoma), bladder cancer, neuroblastoma and other solid tumours in children.

Administration
The medication is injected though a vein and burns if it leaks under the skin. It can be used in combination with other anticancer drugs.

Contraindications
The drug is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation, in patients with severe liver or kidney impairment or severely impaired haematopoiesis.

Side effects
Teniposide, when used with other chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of ALL, results in severe bone marrow suppression. Other common side effects include gastrointestinal toxicity, hypersensitivity reactions, and reversible alopecia.

Interactions
No systematic interaction studies are available. The enzyme inducers phenobarbital and phenytoin have been found to lower its blood plasma concentrations. Theoretically possible interactions include increased plasma concentrations when combined with sodium salicylate, sulfamethizole or tolbutamide, which displace teniposide from plasma protein binding, at least in vitro.

Mechanism of action
Teniposide causes dose-dependent single- and double-stranded breaks in DNA and DNA-protein cross-links. The substance has been found to act as an inhibitor of topoisomerase II (an enzyme that aids in DNA unwinding), since it does not intercalate into DNA or bind strongly to DNA. The cytotoxic effects of teniposide are related to the relative number of double-stranded DNA breaks produced in cells, which are a reflection of the stabilization of a topoisomerase II-DNA intermediate.

Chemistry
Teniposide is a semisynthetic derivative of podophyllotoxin from the rhizome of the wild mandrake (Podophyllum peltatum). More specifically, it is a glycoside of podophyllotoxin with a D -glucose derivative. It is chemically similar to the anti-cancer drug etoposide, being distinguished only by a thienyl rest where etoposide has a methyl. Both these compounds have been developed with the aim of creating less toxic derivatives of podophyllotoxin.

I enjoy learning with Wikipedia quite a bit. If ever there is something that I am unsure of, the first thing I do is come here for a basic summary and to get pointed in the direction of some good references. I'm not sure that I trust Wikipedia with critical or highly specialized information, but it serves its purpose well. In fact, I'd say it's my favorite address on the Internet. Learning is fun!

Sometimes I'll put a few of my favorite images on this page, such as the broad-headed skink to the left. If it interests you, there are a few more at my Commons gallery. I'll try to add more in the future. The camera I use is an Olympus E-410, and it's my first single lens reflex camera of any kind. I highly recommend the Four Thirds System to anyone who isn't already heavily invested into non-digital Canon or Nikon lenses.

Belle da Costa Greene

Belle da Costa Greene (November 26, 1879 – May 10, 1950) was an American librarian who managed and developed the personal library of J. P. Morgan. After Morgan's death in 1913, Greene continued as librarian for his son, Jack Morgan, and in 1924 was named the first director of the Pierpont Morgan Library. Despite being born to Black parents, Greene spent her professional career passing for white.

Early life
Belle da Costa Greene was born in Washington, D.C. as Belle Marion Greener. Although her birth date is sometimes noted as December 13, 1883, her biographer Heidi Ardizzone lists Greene's birth date as November 26, 1879. Her mother was Genevieve Ida Fleet, a music teacher and member of a well-known African-American family in Washington, D.C. Her father, Richard Theodore Greener, was the first black student and first black graduate of Harvard (class of 1870). He went on to work as an attorney, professor and racial justice activist who served as dean of the Howard University School of Law. After Greene took the job with Morgan, she likely never spoke to her father again and listed him as deceased on passport applications throughout the 1910s, despite his being alive until 1922. She may have met him once in Chicago around 1913, but no written records of this meeting are known. Historians long believed that Richard Greener had lost most of his papers in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

After her parents' separation, the light-skinned Belle, her mother, and her siblings passed as white and changed their surname to Greene to distance themselves from their father. Her mother changed her maiden name to Van Vliet in an effort to assume Dutch ancestry. Belle also made a change to her name, swapping out Marion for "da Costa", and claiming a Portuguese background to explain her darker complexion. The changes to her and her family's stated ancestry resulted in further fabrications, including one that led people to believe Greene had been raised in Virginia. The true nature of her background was further complicated by Greene's claiming to be younger than she actually was, an action biographer Heidi Ardizzone referred to as "a masquerade" in response to a youth-focused society in which "single women past a certain age were disdained".

Education
Greene began working in the administrative offices at Columbia University's Teacher College sometime in the mid-1890s, where she was introduced to philanthropist and social welfare advocate Grace Hoadley Dodge. Dodge, impressed by Greene's work and social abilities, procured and funded a spot for Greene at the Northfield Seminary for Young Ladies. She attended the seminary for three years, likely from 1896 to 1899. In 1900, Greene attended Amherst College's Summer School of Library Economy, a six-week course that offered courses in the nascent library science field, including on cataloging, indexing, and handwriting.

Career
Greene began working at the Princeton University Library in 1902. It was during this time that she was trained in cataloguing and reference work and developed a growing knowledge of rare books. She met Junius Spencer Morgan II while working at the Princeton library, who later introduced her to his financier uncle J. P. Morgan. Greene began working as J. P. Morgan's personal librarian in 1905.

Greene's first task as librarian was to organize, catalogue and shelve Morgan's collection. Ada Thurston, an experienced bibliographer, contributed to the effort as Greene's personal assistant. By 1908, Greene began representing Morgan abroad. Trusted for her expertise (Greene was an expert in illuminated manuscripts) as well as her bargaining prowess with dealers, Greene spent millions of dollars buying and selling rare manuscripts, books, and art for Morgan. She told Morgan – who was willing to pay any price for important works – that her goal was to make his library "pre-eminent, especially for incunabula, manuscripts, bindings, and the classics." In a 1912 profile about Greene, the New York Times referred to her "force of persuasion and intelligence," and recounted her pre-auction purchase of seventeen highly sought after William Caxton books on behalf of the Morgan library. She was particularly focused on making rare books accessible to the public, rather than locked away in the vaults of private collectors. She was quite successful in this regard; for instance, when the Morgan Library became a public institution and she was named its first director in 1924, she celebrated by mounting a series of exhibitions, one of which drew a record 170,000 people. In a history of American art auctions, Greene was described as having a "a wild, gay humour" notably distinguishing her from Morgan's more serious demeanor.

J. P. Morgan's biographer Jean Strouse described an example of the relationship between Morgan and Greene: "Morgan hated paying customs duties, especially on art objects, and, like countless of other travelers before and since, evaded them whenever possible. He quickly enlisted Greene as an ally in tax evasion. One year she managed, by artfully letting the customs agents find several dutiable items of hers in her luggage, to draw their attention away from a painting, three bronzes, and a very expensive watch he had asked her to buy in London. "'When I landed at the library with all of JP's treasures ...,' she reported to a friend, 'well he & I did a war dance & laughed in great glee.'"

After Morgan's death in 1913, Greene continued on in her role working for his son, J. P. Morgan Jr., and daughter-in-law, Jane Norton Grew Morgan. Morgan left her a sum of fifty thousand dollars in his will, enough capital for her to live on comfortably, though she continued to supplement her inheritance with the $10,000 a year salary that she earned at the library- a huge sum in those days, especially for a woman. In 1924, she was named director of the Pierpont Morgan Library, following the transition of Morgan's formerly personal collection to a public institution. While working at the library, Greene identified works produced by the 'Spanish Forger'. She retired from the position in 1948. When she died in 1950, the New York Times referred to her as the "one of the best known librarians in the country."

In 1949—one year after she retired and the year before she died—the Morgan Library staged an exhibition of over 250 of the best items that Belle had purchased, which she attended while in a wheelchair.

Beyond her library role, Greene took on various positions within the profession. She was one of the first women named as a fellow of the Mediaeval Academy of America and was a fellow in perpetuity with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Greene also served on the editorial boards of Gazette des Beaux Art and ARTnews. She was a member of the Hroswitha Club.

Personal life
Greene never married. Her mother, Genevieve, lived with her for decades, and Greene played an active role in raising her nephew Robert Mackenzie Leveridge, who had been born in her home. In 1913, J. P. Morgan left Greene $50,000 in his will. Asked if she was Morgan's mistress, Greene is said to have replied, "We tried!" She had a lasting romantic relationship with the Renaissance Italian art expert Bernard Berenson, whom she met in 1909.

Greene died of cancer on May 10, 1950, at St. Luke's Hospital in New York City. Greene destroyed her personal papers before her death, but records held by others remain, including letters she wrote to Berenson. Her professional correspondence is archived in the collections of The Morgan Library & Museum. "Her body was ... cremated and the ashes buried in Kensico Cemetery, Valhalla, New York."

Popular culture
The 2021 book The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray features a historical fiction account of Greene's personal and professional life as J. P. Morgan's librarian. Another novel based on Greene's life is Belle Greene, by Alexandra Lapierre.

WebRIOT

webRIOT is a game show that debuted on MTV on November 29, 1999. It was hosted by Ahmet Zappa and Masasa served as the announcer. The gameplay consisted of contestants answering multiple-choice music trivia questions while accompanying music videos played. After the question was read, four choices appeared and incorrect choices slowly disappeared as the score clock decreased. Contestants could lock in their choice at any time, though faster choices garnered more points (the score left on their clock would be credited to them). Incorrect choices deducted points from a player's score, at half the value left on their clock. The game started with four contestants and consisted of three rounds. In round 1, the value of the question started at 250 points, and doubled to 500 points in round 2. After each of the first two rounds, one contestant was eliminated. The final round was a two-minute "speed" round between the two remaining contestants with all questions being toss-ups. A right answer was worth 1,000 points, while a wrong answer costed 500 points and gave the opponent a chance to respond, if they had not already. Videos here would be added effects to make them less visible. The winner received a prize such as a trip.

The show was notable for its use of interaction with home viewers via the Internet. By downloading the webRIOT software that was developed by Spiderdance, users could compete with the contestants and chat with other players. The first 25,000 online users to go online before each weekday's 5:00 p.m. EST showing (there was a separate 5:00 p.m. PST showing for the west coast) were allowed to play. Viewers watched the show on television for the question and submitted their answers through their computers. Home viewers were allowed to play along during the first two rounds. The top ten players had their screen names shown on television and were eligible to win prizes or be invited to be a contestant on the show.

The show's set and presentation was made to fit in with its theme of interactivity. The studio contestants were acknowledged only by their screen names while Zappa only appeared to the contestants via a video wall.

García I of León

García I (c. 871 – 19 January 914) was the King of León from 910 until his death and eldest of three succeeding sons of Alfonso III the Great by his wife Jimena.

García took part in the government alongside his father until 909. In that year a conspiracy, in which García was implicated, was uncovered. Alfonso renounced the throne and divided the realm among his three sons. León went to García, Galicia to Ordoño, and Asturias to Fruela. Asturian primacy was nevertheless recognised.

García's reign saw the fortification of the Duero and the repopulation of Roa, Osma, Clunia, and San Esteban de Gormaz. During this period, the count of Castile, Gonzalo Fernández gained influence through these endeavours. At his death in Zamora he had no heirs and his kingdom passed to Ordoño.

García's wife, Muniadona, was said by Pelagius of Oviedo to have been daughter of Nuño Fernández, but this is chronologically impossible. Sánchez Albornoz suggested instead that she was daughter of Munio Núñez, the repoblador of Roa and Count of Castile. She may have been the same Muniadona later married to count Ferdinand Ansúrez of Castile.

Arthur Mailey

Alfred Arthur Mailey (3 January 1886 – 31 December 1967) was an Australian cricketer who played in 21 Test matches between 1920 and 1926.

Mailey used leg-breaks and googly bowling, taking 99 Test wickets, including 36 in the 1920–21 Ashes series. In the second innings of the fourth Test at Melbourne, he took nine wickets for 121 runs, which is still the Test record for an Australian bowler.

In first-class cricket at Cheltenham during the 1921 tour, he took all ten Gloucestershire wickets for 66 runs in the second innings. His 1958 autobiography was accordingly titled 10 for 66 and All That (an allusion to the humorous book of English history, 1066 and All That).

He also holds the record for the most expensive bowling analysis in first-class cricket. Bowling for New South Wales at Melbourne in 1926–27 as Victoria scored the record first-class total of 1107, Mailey bowled 64 eight-ball overs, did not manage a maiden and took 4 for 362. He said that his figures would have been much better had not three sitters been dropped off his bowling – "two by a man in the pavilion wearing a bowler hat" and one by an unfortunate team-mate whom he consoled with the words, "I'm expecting to take a wicket any day now."

Beginning his working life at the age of 13 as a trouser presser, then was a glass blower and subsequently a Water Board labourer, he became a talented writer and artist. Between 1920 and 1953, he published a number of booklets of cartoons of cricketers of his time.

"Someone dubbed him the man who bowled like a millionaire, and how true it was! Arthur's objective was to take wickets, and the spending of runs in the process bothered him little. For a relatively small man Arthur had abnormally large hands, soft as silk to the touch, and he once told me he didn't know what it was to have tired or sore fingers". Don Bradman

Mailey married Miss Maud Hinchcllffe in 1912. They had three sons, and a daughter.

He also ran a mixed business which included a butcher on Woolooware Road, Burraneer. The back lane behind Woolooware Road and the shops there was officially named Dominic Lane in 2011, but until then had had the unofficial name of “Googly Manor Lane”. When the area was subdivided in 1954 the owner was an “Arthur Albert Mailey”, and very likely the subject of this article.

Mailey died in Kirrawee, New South Wales on 31 December 1967, 3 days before his 82nd birthday.

 * Looks like I missed the boat here, but to be honest, the Wii version of the game depressed me so much that I absolved myself of the duties of working on that page anyway. --SuperHappy (talk) 05:59, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
