Talk:Hong Kong Cable Television

Hi, everyone. Do you think we should be more consistent in using some of the terms? For instance, should we use Cable TV Hong Kong, I-cable or Cable Hong Kong? 0101KUNGsf 04:59, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

RE: name of company
actually, i think Cable-TV is one branch of i-CABLE Communications. but is HK Cable a short form of HK Cable TV Ltd? If so, we should mention it in a bracket.

Cable TV Hong Kong

 * Very good start on the intro.
 * Remember to organize your wiki according to the most important and interesting information first. Board of Directors can be placed lower in the entry.
 * Need to explain what Channel Digest it and how it is organized. Can use a lot more internal and external links.
 * Be consistent with how you want to call the company. Once you provide the full name, you can abbreviate, but should be consistent.
 * HK Cable TV Ltd or Hong Kong Cable Television Limited or Cable TV…
 * NPOV and watch your grammar!
 * It’s the second grand business that the group eagerly intentioned to develop.” -- Somebody has to be English editor and go over this kind of language carefully. The English is awful; even the parts that are grammatically correct, are horrible.
 * Good start on external links. Can use a lot more internal links.
 * See more comments at the JMSC0101WebCT Discussion section 0101TA 15:38, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Better to codify it as Cable TV Hong Kong
I believe perhaps we should codify it to Cable TV Hong Kong when talking about it in the postings as Cable TV in Wiki is only defined as cable antennae television but not exactly the company. I-cable on the otherhand, seems to focus more on the company's developments in Broadband networking. What do you all think? 0101LIYL 0101LIYL 17:20, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

image upload
Does anyone know how to upload the logo of Cable TV? I think it will be great if we have an image. Unfortunately, I am a technology dummy so please help!

Image upload
Go back to our wiki homepage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fuzheado/jmsc0101 and read the link on Image upload. 0101TA 01:17, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

School project
Based on the edit history and the contributors to this article, is this a school project of some sort? This is important as there is coordination information listed here which might be useful for your project. Thanks. --HappyCamper 03:50, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Copyrights of images
just to be safe I am wondering if the downloaded images can be used this way on Wiki or are we offending the copyright laws?

0101LIYL 20 OCTOBER 2005

Re school project
Is it really a school project? It is really impressive if it is. I am a Hongkoner living abroad and would like to see more articles more hk media. Keep it up, folks; I think with the image added, this should be a feaeture article! Ggcarwell 02:42, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Move
This article should be moved to Cable TV (Hong Kong). — Instantnood 17:49, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Naming/Abbreviation
I don't think anyone calls it "HKCTV"... - Hinto 22:48, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Positano

Has anyone else been to Positano? I was there a few years ago and it was beautifull and full of interesting things. I'll work on adding some as I have time, but it would be great to have others add as well. solaro 19:54, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Historical Problem
"Positano was a prosperous port of the Amalfi Republic in the 16th and 17th centuries."

Was there still an Amalfi Republic (as opposed to a duchy or something) in the 16th and 17th centuries??
 * Well the dukes were "Dukes of the Republic" :-) but you're right, by then it would have been part of Naples - I don't think the Papal States ever quite got down that far. I'll edit it out. FlagSteward (talk) 11:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I am planning on adding some facts into the history and transportation sections. Also, I want to add a picture of the Santa Maria church and a little information on the Maria Grande beach to the main sights section. Positano22 (talk) 15:16, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

BMW xDrive

BMW xDrive is the marketing name for the all-wheel drive system found on various BMW models since 2003. The system uses an electronically actuated clutch-pack differential to vary the torque between the front and rear axles. Models with the DPC torque vectoring system also have a planetary gearset to overdrive an axle or rear wheel as required.

Prior to the introduction of xDrive, all-wheel drive was available on several models since 1985, based on an all-wheel drive system that uses viscous couplings.

Predecessor
The first BMWs available with all-wheel drive were the 1985-1992 E30 325iX and 1991-1996 E34 525iX models. These cars use centre and rear differentials with viscous couplings to vary the torque split between wheels. The centre differential has a default front:rear torque split of 37:63, due to the planetary gear. Up to 80% of the torque can be transferred to the tripping axle, using the increasing shear force of the silicone fluid in the viscous coupling (due to the slotted/grooved plates inside the unit) as wheel slip causes one axle to spin faster than the other. The same principle applies to the rear differential varying the torque split between the rear wheels. The front differential has no locking function. All-wheel drive was discontinued when the E30 3 Series and E34 5 Series were replaced by the E36 and E39 respectively.

All-wheel drive was reintroduced in 2001 for the X5 SUV and E46 3 series 325xi, 330xi and 330xd sedans/wagons. The system is similar to the earlier version, except without the viscous couplings. Instead, the electronic stability control (DSC) system applies the brake to wheels that are slipping, helping transfer power to the wheels with traction.

Design
Unlike its predecessor, the xDrive system uses an electronically actuated clutch-pack differential that engages to send torque to the front axle. In the case of the 2018 X3 through X6 models, the default torque split is 40:60 and the system is able to send 100% of the torque to either axle. However, full torque transfer to the front axle can only be achieved if the rear wheels have absolutely no traction, as the rear drive shaft is hard-coupled to the transmission output,. The wet clutch is applied through a high speed electric servo motor turning a cam-shaped actuator disc. In most vehicles, the system uses open differentials at the front and rear, relying on the brakes (controlled by the electronic stability control system) to transfer torque away from the slipping wheel on each axle.

A different system is used on BMWs which are based on a transverse engine front-wheel drive platform, such as the BMW X1 (F48), BMW 1 Series (F40) and BMW 2 Series Active Tourer. These models use a GKN Driveline system which sends 100% of the torque to the front wheels by default, only sending torque to the rear wheels when the front wheels are slipping.

Dynamic Performance Control
An upgraded version of xDrive with torque vectoring, called 'Dynamic Performance Control' (DPC), was introduced on the 2008 BMW X6 and has since become available on other vehicles including the BMW X5 M. As per most torque vectoring systems, the primary function is to increase agility in cornering. The DPC system is also used by the electronic stability control (DSC) to correct for understeer/oversteer, with one reviewer commenting that it provided smoother results and avoided the temporary power loss associated with the traditional method of using individual wheel brakes in such situations.

The DPC system can distribute torque between the front and rear axles, and between the two wheels on the rear axle. The system uses a clutch pack and planetary gearset within the differential to overdrive a wheel or axle as required.

Applications
The first xDrive models (as opposed to the earlier all-wheel drive system) were released in 2003. These consisted of the newly released BMW X3 (E83) - ATC400 Transfer Case, facelifted BMW X5 (E53) - ATC500 Transfer Case. In the following years, the availability of xDrive increased throughout the model range, and it is currently available on most models.

The first BMW M models to use xDrive were the 2009 E70 X5M and E71 X6M models. The first non-SUV BMW M model to not be rear-wheel drive was the 2017 F90 M5, which was only available with xDrive.

In Canada, 50 percent of BMWs sold in 2005 were fitted with xDrive. As of 2010, BMW Canada stopped offering rear-wheel drive versions of models that were available with xDrive, for example the only BMW 6 Series (F12) 650i version available without xDrive in 2012 was the convertible version.

Richard Milton Martin

Richard Milton Martin (12 January 1916, Cleveland, Ohio – 22 November 1985, Milton, Massachusetts) was an American logician and analytic philosopher.

In his Ph.D. thesis written under Frederic Fitch, Martin discovered virtual sets a bit before Quine, and was possibly the first non-Pole other than Joseph Henry Woodger to employ a mereological system. Building on these and other devices, Martin forged a first-order theory capable of expressing its own syntax as well as some semantics and pragmatics (via an event logic), all while abstaining from set and model theory (consistent with his nominalist principles), and from intensional notions such as modality.

Life and career
Richard Milton Martin was born on January 12, 1916 in Cleveland, Ohio to Frank Wade Martin and Lena Beatrice (Bieder).

From Harvard, where he had studied under Alfred North Whitehead during his last year before retirement, Martin earned an A.B. in 1938.

He then obtained an M.A. from Columbia (1939), and his Ph.D. from Yale (1941). His dissertation, supervised by.logician Frederic Fitch, was on “A Homogeneous System for Formal Logic.”

He was an instructor in mathematics at Princeton University 1942–44, then at the University of Chicago 1944–46. He then taught philosophy at Bryn Mawr College 1946–48, the University of Pennsylvania 1948–59, the University of Texas 1959–63 and at New York University 1963–73. From 1973 until his retirement in 1984 he taught at Northwestern University, Martin also held visiting appointments at Universitact Bonn, Yale, Universitact Hamburg, the New School for Social Research, and Temple University.

In 1976, Martin largely retired from teaching (only giving one course per year at Northwestern from then on) becoming a research associate with Boston University Center for the Philosophy and History of Science. He made excellent use of the resulting leisure, so that his final decade of life was by far his most productive, publishing over 100 book chapters and journal articles.

He published what Meguire describes as "the definitive treatment of his logic" within Semiotics and Linguistic Structure (1978). The next year saw the publication of his edited volume of the writings of Carolyn Eisele on Charles Sanders Peirce.

He also helped edit, and contributed chapters to, the Festschriften books The Logical Enterprise (1975) dedicated to Fitch, and Studies in the Philosophy of J. N. Findlay (1985). (Having been a colleague of J. N. Findlay at Austin, Texas.)

At the time of his death, Martin served on the editorial board of eight journals and on the advisory board of the Peirce Edition Project. In 1981, he became president of the Charles S. Peirce Society. In 1984, he was elected president of the Metaphysical Society of America, and he delivered their presidential address at Vanderbilt University in March 1985.

Despite having held tenure track appointments from 1948 until his retirement in 1984, the only Ph.D. thesis known to have been completed under Martin’s supervision is that of James Scoggin. Otherwise, Martin’s legacy is coextensive with his published writings.

Martin died at his home in Milton, Massachusetts, on November 22.

Ideas
"...one of the most many-sided, prolific, and scholarly of analytic philosophers."
 * —Hans Burkhardt, Foreword to Metaphysical Foundations: Mereology and Metalogic.

Martin was part of the first wave of American analytic philosophers; arguably, only Quine (1908–2000), Fitch (1909–1987), and Henry Leonard (1905–67) preceded him. His chronological elders Nelson Goodman (1906–1998) and Wilfrid Sellars (1912–89) were arguably his contemporaries, as they all began their careers in earnest at about the same time, namely right after World War II. Martin's formal treatment of syntax followed Alfred Tarski; of semantics, Rudolf Carnap. Martin was generally well-disposed towards Carnap's work, contributed a long paper to the Schilpp volume on Carnap, and was seen as a disciple. Paradoxically, Martin was a positivist and radical nominalist who also sympathized with process theology and orthodox Christianity.

Between 1943 and 1992, Martin published 16 books and about 240 papers (of which 179 were included in his books) on an extraordinary range of subjects, including aesthetics, logic, the foundation of mathematics, metaphysics, syntax/semantics/pragmatics, the philosophy of science, phenomenology, process philosophy, theology, Frege, and C.S. Peirce. Martin preached and practiced that philosophy should be done formally, by employing first-order logic, the theory of virtual sets and relations, and a multiplicity of predicates, all culminating in an event logic. Starting with the papers reprinted in his 1969 Belief, Martin argued that the Frege's Art des Gegebensein was crucial to his thinking. Just what this Art entailed remains to be elucidated.

Martin was especially fond of applying his first-order theory to the analysis of ordinary language, a method he termed logico-linguistics. He often referenced the work of the linguists Zellig Harris (admiringly) and Henryk Hiz (more critically); Martin, Harris, and Hiz all taught at Pennsylvania in the 1950s. Yet Martin was dismissive of the related theoretical work by Noam Chomsky and his MIT colleagues and students. Ironically, Martin appears to have been Chomsky's main teacher of logic; while a student at Pennsylvania, Chomsky took every course Martin taught.

Quine's Word and Object cites Martin with approval, but Martin's wider impact has not been commensurate with the breadth and depth of his writings; the secondary literature on Martin consists of little more than reviews of his books.

Quotations
“Over the portals of the entrance to contemporary philosophy is writ: Enter here fully equipped with the tools of the new logic.” Intension, p. 153.

“God made first-order logic and all the rest is the handiwork of man.” Semiotics, p.xv.

Works
The first four titles below and the first part of Semiotics (1978) are monographs. The other titles are fairly loose collections of papers, most first published in journals.

Template talk:US DOS Background Notes

Usage

 * Place   in articles that incorporate text from the U.S. State Department's Background Notes (see below). The template should go in the "References" section or somewhere else near the bottom of the article. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 05:43, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Description
Many of Wikipedia's country-related articles (e.g., Demographics of Egypt) contain text from the U.S. Department of State's Background Notes (link). I wanted to use a template similar to CIA World Factbook (for CIA World Factbook}} or Loc (for Library of Congress Country Studies). I couldn't find such a template so I've created one.

I have also added this template to Template messages/Sources of articles, which is where I would have expected to find this.

Originally I had added a variable (or whatever " " is called) in which the user could put the name of the country. But as the link points to the list of Background Notes, and not that of an individual country, I removed this feature (anyway, neither CIA World Factbook nor Loc work this way). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 05:09, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

 * P.S. I intentionally omitted any image bearing the official seal of the State Dept. I recall reading that public domain does not apply to any official governmental seals and, in fact, that it is illegal to use such seals in a non-official capacity. (I think I mentioned this on the Talk page of a template that does use such a seal.) -- Gyrofrog (talk) 05:13, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Optional URL parameter

 * I added two three new parameters to this template; url, title, and an unnamed parameter for labelling sections and lists. I created a /doc subpage as well, and updated the template to use it.  --Hugh Charles Parker (talk - contribs) 21:01, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Limited to part of State Dept?
Why does this template presume the source is State's "Background Notes"? Surely there is other content available at the State Dept that is not in Background Notes but still qualifies as a PD source. This is out of sync with other Federal Agency source templates such as DoE or USGS. What's the template for State Dept sources that are not part of Background Notes? - Keith D. Tyler ¶ 20:35, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I moved this one to US DOS Background Notes (though keeping the redirect for backwards compatibility).  Then, I created US DOS as a generic template. Superm401 - Talk 03:57, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Allegany High School

Allegany High School is a public high school in Allegany County, Maryland, city of Cumberland, United States. It is part of Allegany County Public Schools. Allegany High School was built as Allegany County High School in 1887, hence it is often referred to as 'Alco'.

As of the 2014–2015 school year, the school had an enrollment of 671 students and 43.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 15.5:1. There were 252 students (37.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 30 (4.5% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch. Students were 93% white, 5% African-American and 2% Asian.

History
Allegany High School was initially a secondary education school held in the Maryland Avenue Schoolhouse. The school had many different locations including the building on Greene Street, which was used as a combined middle/high school until the spring of 1926.

The old Allegany High located on Sedgwick Street  that served the area for 93 years was demolished May 2022. Construction of the Sedgwick Street school started in 1925 with the doors opening in 1926.

In the fall of 2018 the doors of the brand new Allegany High School located at 900 Seton Drive on the site of the former Sacred Heart Hospital on Haystack Mountain were opened. The new school cost $51 million.

The “Camper” mascot is a source of much confusion. The most widely accepted theory is that Civil War General Lew Wallace and his men began calling the site "Campobello" that during their time here. The word Campobello is derived from Latin, meaning "camp of war".

Extracurricular activities
The 'Alco White' mock trial team is one of the many organizations in the school. In the 2005–2006 season, the team won the circuit and the regional championships, advancing to the Maryland state Mock Trial Final Four competition in April 2006. The 2006–2007 team lost in the finals to Severn School. The 2007–08 team advanced to the semi-finals, but were defeated by Severna Park. The 2008-2009 team won the Maryland State Mock Trial Championship, the program's first state title after making it to the final four in the previous three competitions.

The Allegany marching band was under the direction of Larry T. Jackson, and is a part of the Tournament of Bands circuit, which covers Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, and Virginia. The band had a chapter championships winning streak of 17 years and has finished in the top 10 at the Atlantic Coast Championships for the past 19 seasons. The team finished in second place in 2015 ("For Whom the Bell Tolls" with a 97.15) and third place finalists in 2016 ("Across the Divide" with a 95.65). They won the Atlantic Coast Championships in November 2021 with "Gravity", a clean sweep - Best Music, Best Percussion, Best Visual and Best Auxiliary - a sweet send-off to Jackson's retirement at the end of the school year. The Marching Band repeated the feat in 2022 and 2023 under the direction of Kenneth Pfromm.

The school also sponsors indoor color guard and indoor percussion groups. The Allegany Visual Ensemble was the 2011 Winter Guard International Pittsburgh Regional Scholastic Regional A Champions.

ScottyBoy900Q
Final (35/12/1) ended 05:12 16 October 2005 (UTC)

– I feel kinda awkward doing a self-nom, but I've been around Wikipedia for a couple years now and feel it's time I try for adminship. I spend my time in a variety of ways. I'm very interested and participate in uploading images, especially with uploading ship images for naval craft. I also have spent considerable time voting on featured pictures. Aside from images, I spend my time editing subjects, mostly history, that i'm interested in. A bit of my time lately has been spent discussing the need for a possible Featured Diagrams listing. I'm coming up on 2,200 2,600 edits and a definite wikiholic. Wikipedia is such a great resource and I think that through my objectivity and usually neutral point of view, I could be a good admin.

 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Selfnom, accept. --ScottyBoy900Q ∞ 05:23, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Support
 * 1) Grant him the mop. Denelson83 05:54, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * My support is now much stronger. Denelson83 22:30, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Merovingian (t) (c) 06:15, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Support CambridgeBayWeather 07:51, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Support Not all admins have to be active all the time. There are over 1000 500 of them, and some of them are not very active.  It doesn't mean that they don't do good work.  There is no reason that any user who has some experience in wikipedia and has shown that they can be trusted shouldn't be an admin. --Rogerd 18:01, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually we only have around 600 of us =(. Sasquatch  t|c 06:07, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Support 2200 edits is more than enough. freestylefrappe 20:52, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Support because we need more good admins! Sasquatch  t|c 06:07, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Support, confident that he will not misuse admin powers. Christopher Parham (talk) 07:06, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Support I don't know this editor much, so I sample checked some of their edits and all seems fine to me. Alf melmac 08:31, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) Support ScottyBoy's edits speak for themselves. His edits are quality and while he has quantity going for him as well, it is the quality of his edits that wins my vote of support. --Caponer 23:09, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 6) Support as per Caponer, Alf. Hamster Sandwich 01:47, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 7) Support Scotty just sent me a request on my own talk page about supporting his adminship. -- Mike Garcia | talk 02:35, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 8) Support I see no reason to not support him.PiccoloNamek 03:23, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 9) Support We had a slight disagreement recently, but he was most reasonable about it. I'm sure he will be an excelent admin and try to do what is right. Raven4x4x 06:02, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 10) Support Really good user and I often find his analysis of a photo on FPC exactly what I would say. Very nice guy, and I certainly don't think that his edits are not enough. You can't expect someone to always to be active - most people (I think) have a life aside from Wikipedia and can't be expected to be glued to the screen 24/7 (not that such users aren't extremely valuable). Anyway I agree totally with his idea's on diagrams on FPC - in my opion they don't belong. --Fir0002 09:05, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 11) Support. I'm confident that he will be a valuable addition to the ranks of administrator. Enochlau 10:02, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 15) Support  Grue  13:38, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 16) Support. No substantial reason to oppose.  "Campaigning for a delete vote", I have to say, is quite routine and desirable admin behaviour.  Slac  speak up!  20:52, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 17) Strong support per Slac; putting in extra effort should be rewarded not punished. freestylefrappe 23:18, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 18) Support. Self-awareness and humility, as expressed in reaction to the opposition's comments below, is how I know that an admin will strive to act responsibly, and will work to correct mistakes. Stan 02:51, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 19) Support. I think I was too hasty and harsh opposing.  After taking a closer look at this editor's record, I see a long time contributor who generally interacts well with others. -- M P er el ( talk 14:21, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 20) Support. See no substantive current issues. Jayjg (talk) 16:25, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 21) Support. ScottyBoy900Q has rightly and judiciously raised questions about editors working on articles about themselves, a very difficult issue that a lot of us haven't had the guts to touch. I don't see that as a reason to oppose. Chick Bowen 02:26, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 30) Support. With respect with the AFD incident, everyone is allowed to have one bad day. And while RFA campaigning is a bad thing, it does not strike me as a reason to oppose a candidate. Tito xd (?!?) 17:52, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 31) Support Seems like a good editor, reasons for oppose are lacking to say the least. Martin  23:01, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Oppose Been here for over a year, and only has over 2000 edits, user doesn't seem active enough to me, to be an admin. Privat e  Butcher 16:08, 8 October 2005 (UTC) I now oppose for reasons that have been brought before me.  Privat  e   Butcher  21:46, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * How many have been over the last few months though? I think i've been a lot more active than most in that time period. Been here for over a year does not equal has been active for over a year. --ScottyBoy900Q ∞  17:01, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * But you should be active at all times. I don't want an admin that'll be active for a few months, leave for awhile, come back then be active for a few months again. That's why I'm opposing. Privat  e   Butcher  17:19, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Its totally unreasonable to ask a person to be active at all times. People have family issues that must take priority over wikipedia.  I'll discuss in private with you the reason I was absent if it will put your mind at ease, it's not something I need to prove myself on here on this page. --ScottyBoy900Q ∞  17:26, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Fine, I've retracted my vote. Privat  e   Butcher  17:38, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose. A recent spurious AfD is a bad sign (and doesn't reflect knowledge of notability guidelines). (restored per Fawcett5) Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 17:02, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters is voting to oppose because I listed a page, of which he is the subject matter, up for deletion as it seems to me to be a vanity page for self promotion. If this is of concern to you, please check out the AfD here and see for yourself why this user is voting no.  If you feel so inclined, cast a vote to keep or delete as well while you are there. --ScottyBoy900Q 18:10, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I was aware of the guidelines as a matter of fact. That's not really what I was protesting by listing it for deletion.  I'm just a little concerned the article is extremely prejudiced as you yourself have done a considerable amount of the editing to the article. --ScottyBoy900Q 23:36, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose - I withhold judgement about whether the above mentioned Vfd vote was spurious or not (the old Vfd vote was a resounding keep). However, when ScottyBoy900Q set up the new Afd, he simply overwrote the archive of the old discussion instead of creating a new Afd article. This to me clearly indicates that he has insufficient knowledge of administrative procedure at this time. I would be happy to reconsider my vote in a few months when he has demonstrated more knowledge about "the way of the wiki". Fawcett5 21:57, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Can you please show me where the directions are for listing articles that had already been voted on that come up again? I didn't just delete the previous vote page, it can be found right here.  I didn't want the new article to show up as a possible 2nd vote, that is why i kept it on the original voting page and moved the archive to the new one. No one else seems to have had any problems finding it. --ScottyBoy900Q 22:47, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, now I see that the situation is even worse than I first suspected. You did NOT create an archive, what you did was execute a forbidden cut and paste move that fails to preserve the page history. As I cannot see the edit history in the so-called archive, we are just expected to take your word for it that this is what everybody actually said last time around. Anybody that wants to be an administrator should know enough not to make this beginners mistake. In any case, the usual practice is to leave the old Afd article alone and to create a new one titled something like "Pagenamefordeletion 2" or some such. Once again, if you had been around long enough, you would know this. I reiterate that I would be willing to reconsider in several months. Fawcett5 12:33, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah I guess you're right. I should have known better. I'm fully aware of how to do a move properly (as you'll see i'v done it plenty of times before). I just wasn't thinking i guess since I don't often deal with AfD. --ScottyBoy900Q 13:44, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose I rarely oppose a nomination, but feel I need to in this instance.  What drew my attention in the first place was the Articles for deletion/David Mertz incident.  While one can see reasons for putting the article up for deletion, I wan't very happy with the tone of the nomination and there is some evidence of ScottyBoy900Q campaigning for a delete vote which is unbecoming in a potential administrator.  Also this is a self-nomination and there is evidence of campaigning for support - allowable, but it bothers me a little.  All in all, oppose this time round, but hope to be able to support in a few months time.   Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  20:42, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Just for note, to put David's mind at ease I not only informed the people who voted against the article, I also contacted all the people that SUPPORTED keeping it. There were certain conditions that I feel were placed, namely David not editing the article anymore, that just weren't met.  The fact that David is so stuck on himself and feels his article HAS to stay here is one reason we got into a debate.   All of my arguments though were for the sake of preserving the integrity of wikipedia, when we start allowing complete vanity articles exist here, I feel we're doomed.  What other kinds of other unimportant non-notable stuff will be posted after that kind of thing is allowed. --ScottyBoy900Q 21:29, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually ScottyBoy900Q initially notified only editors who had previously voted "delete". After I complained of this behavior, he reluctantly agreed to also notify the previous "keep" voters.  After that, he engaged in quite active campaigning for his self-nominated RfA (and in the course of that made quite snide comments about the AfD vote, and my opposition to it.  Overall, very unbecoming of an admin, IMO. And it seems somehow hypocritical to complain that I made autobiography edits (which are completely NPOV, and far more minor than the AfD purports), while simultaneously self-nominating for administratorship. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 23:00, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * David is correct, originally i notified those people because I figured they were the ones who's mind might have changed. As far as snide, let's not even go there. People can see for themselves when looking at your arguments and the way you talk down to everyone what kind of person you are.  People have told me since I nominated myself they would have nominated me if i would have expressed interest.  This whole episode started when David over-reacted about me not thinking he was important enough to need an article.  I am perfectly happy to let the voting take its place and have the outcome be the outcome.  I told him I would appologize for offending him after the voting was completed.  He just seems unable to let it go and accept that other people may not view him as significant or important enough to have his own article.  He has accused me of secretly talking to other people through non WP channels about listing him for deletion, which is completely outrageous.  He has also campaigned for his voting as well, leaving messages on people talk pages and asking them to vote.  While I see nothing wrong with this, as I have done it myself obviously, David seems to have developed a personal vandetta against me and anyone who would vote to delete his page. --ScottyBoy900Q 23:18, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * No, this is plain wrong: and is really the exact reason I think ScottyBoy900Q isn't temperamentally suited to administratorship just yet. My issue didn't start because Scott "didn't think I was important enough for an article."  It started because the AfD nomination was quite dishonest in tone, purporting a number of false, or at least dissimulative things (mischaracterizing my edits to David Mertz; trying to pretend earning a Ph.D. is identical to being admitted to an M.A. program; claiming a vanity-press book with no ISBN is the identical to a book from Addison-Wesley; and overall just a really snarly and combative tone).  FWIW, I wouldn't make a good admin either; largely for the same reasons ScottyBoy900Q wouldn't—but then, I'm not nominated, and wouldn't accept if I was :-).
 * Frankly, the AfD nomination is just plain wrong per noteriety guidelines. I can accept that ScottyBoy900Q hadn't seen the Google scholar results, Alexa ranking, 85k Google hits, or evidence of 500k-ish readership at the time of nomination.  People make mistakes.  But a good admin shouldn't dig in his heels and stick to his guns after making a mistake; rather, he should correct it as best possible (i.e. change his nomination text and vote, and apologize for the judgement error).  That's exactly opposite to what ScottyBoy900Q has done. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 23:30, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Once again, these are all thing David has come up and created on his own. The nomination was NOT dishonest and nothing was purported incorrectly.  Quite frankly, there hasn't been a judgement error as far as I'm concerned.  David created the idea on his own that I said anything along the lines of an MA being identical to a Ph.D., not did I ever make a claim that my book was anywhere on the scale as he claims his to be.  He also claims that I reluctantly contacted his orignal supporters which is also completely false.  There was no reluctance about it.  I did it because it was the right thing to do and as soon as he had a complaint I took the liberty of doing it. As far as those accusations go, feel free to read my wording on your own and you will see that David has made these factors up himself and it never got out of tone until David starting taking personal offense to having the page listed for deletion. As a matter of fact, I never said anything at all about MA's or Ph.D.'s until David decided to compare them himself.  I informed him it was important, as stated on the deletion page, that he not take anything personally, but it seems he has been unable to do so. --ScottyBoy900Q 23:41, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes please follow the link, and read the AfD comment: I myself have published books, have taught classes, and have many of the same qualifications as this man seems to have, but I don't feel the need to glorify myself or make a completely vanity-like article.. Then decide if you want an admin who writes in that tone (and given that Scott explicitly claims that being admitted to [not completing] an M.A. is the same credential as earning a Ph.D.; and the thing with vanity and major publishers).  Look: if he had claimed "only publishing one book isn't enough" that would be fine (though no follow noteriety guidelines; and in this case miss that most of my readers are in periodicals), but his actual tone is plain dissimulation and false insinuatino. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 23:54, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Simply amazing. As I mentioned in my last post, i never said anything at all about M.A.'s or Ph.D.'s so thats not an issue in any way shape or form except in David's head.  I have said (on my user page) that i am in the Master's program and have never one single time equated that to having or being a Ph.D. student.  It's childish to even bicker about that point as it is only you making that an issue.  And as far as the other material goes, I HAVE been published and I HAVE taught classes.  This whole issue winds down to you taking personal offense to this (which you absolutely shouldnt).  I listed the article for deletion because i truely believe it covers non-notable subject matter.  The whole point of voting is to get other people pov on that issue.  And as I keep saying time after time, i'm fine with whatever people decide on.  Relax and stop taking it personally.  If you weren't a wikipedian and there was no one to argue for keeping the article, it would be deleted in a heartbeat. --ScottyBoy900Q 00:58, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It's exactly the opposite. If I weren't a Wikipedian, no one would have nominated it for AfD, or voted for deletion.  The delete votes are almost exclusively on the grounds of your false claims that my edits violated NPOV.  Well, two or three people with some personal animus about past editing conflict (yeah, I'm gruff).  It's still hard for you to back away from your comment: many of the same qualifications, I think.  I don't think everyone with a Ph.D. should have an article, by any means, but to even for one moment equate earning a Ph.D. with being admitted to a Masters program shows just how very inexperienced you are to the academic world (and you can't even bring yourself to write "earning a Ph.D.", but in every instance equivocate with just being a Ph.D. student).  I think in your edit history you write about some military stuff: imagine if someone completely failed to understand or acknowledge that the difference between a General and Major rank really means something, it's not the same qualification.  If you ever earn a higher degree (no, not a masters), you'll eventually be able to understand just how youthful you were this year. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 01:43, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm fine leaving this conversation as it is. As I continue to say, you're the only person hung up on the M.A. vs Ph.D. so i'll leave that alone. I wouldn't equate MA's and Ph.D.'s as I am fully capable or seeing the difference between them.  By saying i've accomplished many of the same things as you, i did not necessarilly mean in terms of academics.  I'm sure with everything else i've done in my life i could come up with an equally encyclopedic article (not that I ever would). And to be honest, I still think I would have listed the article for deletion regardless as I still do not believe you are as important as you think you are (that's what the voting is for and i'll still be big enough after all this to appologize when the voting is over). Drop me a line on my talk page if you would like to continue talking...its getting to be a bit entertaining actually and i'm sure you're a good guy aside from this issue. --ScottyBoy900Q 01:57, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) I'm not a big fan of RfA campaigning, if this one fails I'd be happy to vote in support in a few weeks on an RfA without it. --fvw *  22:40, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose I think a prospective admin should have enough involvement in the community that they don't have to spam users talk pages soliciting votes,  It looks to me like bad form to cut and paste notes asking for support. It comes from a fairly narrow particapation history, I think an admin needs to have wider experience to have the backround to act on policy. There isn't much work on some of the activities listed in the first question, most don't need any admin powers to at least pitch in, no reason to jump on in some of those backlogs! Vote reinstated after reading User:Flcelloguy's qoute and realizing that nominee challenged six of the voters, he just doesn't show that he has any real grasp of policy/pratice here.  Rx StrangeLove 03:25, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I certainly appreciate the opinion, and would have to say that most of my activities have been pretty theme specific and i usually do not have a lot of contact with the people involving my edits for some reason. One thing I really would like to start doing would not necessarilly require adminship but would certainly help.  I'd like to be more active in the welcoming committee and publicity issues where adminship would be helpful to have. Im not trying to get it just to have it. And I see nothing wrong with asking people for their opinions or votes.  If they feel my contributions have been unacceptable i would expect they would vote to oppose. --ScottyBoy900Q 04:11, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Personally, I like that he informed me that he was up for adminship. Not everyone in this community follows the RFA page religiously, so I found it to be a chance to vote for a candidate I found suitable in an instance where I probably wouldn't have checked the RFA page (I usually check it maybe once or twice a month). Mike H (Talking is hot) 08:07, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with User:Mike Halterman above. I think that in no way should asking people to take a look at their nomination be counted against them. In most cases, if someone has worked on a particular area for quite a bit, the people he/she has worked on would probably know that editor best, and those editors might not necessarily check this regularly (I certainly don't - I have better things to look at). Enochlau 08:59, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * That's what watch lists are for, you don't need to check this regularly. Asking for votes is just another way of gaming the system, people don't spam talk pages of those that might oppose, they ask editors they think will support. Rx StrangeLove 18:39, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose For spamming of user pages alone. Is the RFA process turning into something akin to a US presidential campaign? -- Egil 06:35, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't really see how that is a problem. If ScottyBoy hadn't told me about it personally, I wouldn't have even known about this. Enochlau 08:53, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose Votes for self in self-nom and a cutnpaste AFD. Hipocrite - « Talk » 19:52, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and removed the self vote as after reading further...you are correct and I should have left that off. I've seen plenty of other people do it in the past so I just assumed it was a common practice.  As far as the cut/paster AfD issue, no one has been able to provide me with clear instructions posted anywhere about what to do in that case.  I have admitted that was done as a last resort as I did njot want to start a new vote with the old information on the page. --ScottyBoy900Q 22:20, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The self-vote has benn deleted from the page so that one has to visit the page history to see it. RobyWayne above is receiving a lot of flack for a self-vote but has just struck it through leaving it visible for new potential voters and this seems to me to be better practice.  It says at the top of this page that self-noms should not vote for themselves, it's surprising that aspirant admins miss it so often - should it should be bolded or added to the nomination form?

 * Oppose, based on the behavior I see on this RFA and the AFD that's mentioned. I'm open to reconsider in the future. -- M P er el ( talk 00:53, 12 October 2005 (UTC) (changed vote, see above)
 * 1) Oppose for vote-pimping. Proto t c 08:49, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose based on comments above. ALKIVAR ™[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 10:35, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose — not only do the AfD and the self-vote worry me, but this comment from above to Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters: People can see for themselves when looking at your arguments and the way you talk down to everyone what kind of person you are. It doesn't matter how heated the argument is or how frustrated you are, but I don't expect admins to insult other Wikipedians or to infer that someone is a bad person. While I feel you are a good contributer, I just don't think you're ready yet. Thanks! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk |  WS 18:37, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose. I wasn't the b'crat who extended this (though I believe the extension merited) and I won't be the promoting or removing b'crat, but as often happens with extensions, nothing definitive has happened. Voting as an editor, not as an admin, I believe that the substantive objections in both content and number indicate that this nomination should be brought up again at a future time. -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 05:22, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * This last vote from Cecropia came in 10 minutes late so im not sure that it counts....but I wanted to address it because I actually think the issues brought up by the opposers all revolved around one major issue that was heavily promoted by a certain user. The comments all really deal with the AfD, which was ultimately voted down, but had a great deal of support.  The issue of the AfD was blown way out of proportion by this certain user simply because he took the deletion vote way too personally and sought to ultimately avenge my listing his article for deletion by campainging/hampering the voting here. --ScottyBoy900Q 05:31, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The issue, however, was never that you wrote an AfD, but the unprofessional tone you took both in the AfD, here on this page, and in spamming many editors to solicit delete votes. Moreover, the multiple administrative errors you made recently were the actual reason for many oppose votes here, not anything about the AfD. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 06:37, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Since the candidate responded directly to my vote, let me say this: I am expressing my opinion as to where I believe this nomination stands as a non-promoting/removing individual. As another bureaucrat(s) will make the final determination, the numerical effect of my vote is not, IMO, material but I would expect its substance to be taken into account (agree or disagree with my analysis) when a decision is made. -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 06:05, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Neutral

Suggest that interested parties read Articles for deletion/David Mertz which is what is being referred to in the above comment about A recent spurious AfD. Dl yo ns 493  Ta lk  Dlyons493 17:46, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) The cut and paste was unfortunate, but was certainly an error, and can presumably be undone by an admin if necessary. I don't think this RfA should be turned into an RfC on the AfD – what a lot of abbreviations! In my view, the timing of it showed poor judgment from a would-be admin for his own sake, but if it had been done in bad faith, he would surely have waited until the RfA was over. It's worth noting, also, that ScottyBoy is not the only one to recruit votes . I would hope that anyone who feels that the David Mertz article should be kept would vote accordingly in the appropriate place, rather than here. By the way, I'm voting neutral because I don't know enough about ScottyBoy to decide whether or not he'd be a good admin. One piece of advice I'd give is that you need to use edit summaries more frequently. Your nomination will probably pass next time. Good luck! Ann Heneghan (talk) 22:26, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Comments
 * Upon further review of the recent spurious AfD, the opposition's arguments seem to be based more off of sour grapes than off of pure objective criticism. Fawcett was able to produce one situation in which the contributor in question did not follow administrative procedure to a tee. If we were to judge all administrators on singular slip-ups here and there...we wouldn't have many admins to criticize or to vote down. Just as I believe that the David Mertz article would have been easily deleted if he hadn't been a contributor himself, I believe ScottyBoy would have been easily confirmed without harsh opposition if he hadn't have taken action against this one article. He should be judged by his body of work, not by this one instance.--Caponer 00:53, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * FWIW, at least the votes of Tanya Ravine and Monicasdude are solely meant to disagree with me, rather than to express any opinion on ScottyBoy900Q. Neither, certainly had ever heard of teh RfA before casting this vote (via links from the failed David Mertz AfD.  Take it or leave it.  The rest of the support votes are certainly quite sincere. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 07:06, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * FWIW, Lulu/Mertz is simply fabricating a statement of my motives; he's been engaged in a long-running vendetta against me since I slighted his (quite inaccurate) comments about "fair use" on a talk page some months ago. His malicious comments should shed light on his motives for opposing this nomination, qhich are quite inappropriate. Monicasdude 18:22, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Before voting ends, I just wanted to say that I am sorry if there were any hurt feelings regarding the RfD. It was done with the best of intentions.  I definitely would not have put the article up for deletion at the same time as voting was open on my adminship if I was doing it for a negative reason.  It's unfortunate that some of the votes (both supporting & opposing) on here were simply products of that deletion vote and really have nothing to do with whether or not I'd be a good administrator.  I also believe that some of the opposing comments are misguided in the sense that they really all reflect one single thing and not my overall ability/contributions to wikipedia.  --ScottyBoy900Q 05:00, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. As an admin I hope I'll be able to do a few more things than I do now, including joining the group who welcomes newcomers, being more diligent in monitoring vandalism, and also monitoring new pages. I would like to continue to be an active member of the featured picture community and also get a bit more involved in finding and fixing copyright issues. I am also starting to get involved in working on ways to promote Wikipedia, either through the media or maybe a campaign through universities (that's something i've just been giving a lot of thought lately)

 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I rather like the work I've done in regards to the Baltimore Maritime Museum and each of the articles branching off of it. They definitely aren't that impressive, just something dear to my heart. I also think i've done a good amount of work i'm proud of in regards to some musical band templates and also of course my work in finding ship images which I have spent considerable time on.

 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. I Have never really been involved in any edit wars, but I have definitely gotten into some heated discussion. A big issue I brought up recently is that I don't think it's fair to judge diagrams/charts using the same criteria as we judge photographs and pictures on.  That's an ongoing discussion but I believe I've been able to prove my point and bring the issue into people's minds.
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page. No further edits should be made to this page.

Samish Island, Washington

Samish Island is an unincorporated community in Skagit County, Washington, United States. It lies on an island 48.57361°N, -122.53°W with the same name, which is located off the northwest coast of the Washington mainland. It is connected to the mainland by land reclaimed through a system of dikes created in the early 20th century.

Samish Island is named after the Samish people, a Coast Salish people of the Pacific Northwest. Both the Samish and the Nuwaha (a predecessor band of the Upper Skagit) used the island as part of their traditional territory. The western end of the island is named Xwtl’échqs in the Samish language and sƛ̕əpqs in the Lushootseed language, both meaning "deepwater point" in the respective languages. The eastern end is named A7ts’íqen in Samish and qʷəqʷaliqs in Lushootseed. The narrow isthmus connecting the two areas is named bəsbəsič, meaning "thin cords."

In the late 19th century, the US Navy began to construct a series of dykes and drainage ditches to create a connection to the mainland. In the 1930s, the connection was finished.

Suggested therapies
With Baker's cyst being the correct wikipedia method of naming an article vs the duplicate Baker's Cyst, I have merged the articles. The merged in details from Baker's Cyst were of a poorer encyclopaedic quality of wrioting and seemed speculative to me. In particular:
 * Heat therapy - needs citations, both as to whether commonly tried and secondly whetehr actually works
 * Knee bracing - does it really help reduce pain by stimulating nerve fibre. Sounds nonsense to me (there is no couner-stimulation of say rubbing, mild irrittnts or of accupuncture to start eliciting Gate Control Theory of pain downregulation). Surely just that a bracked knee flexes less during walking and so less pressure applied to teh cyst ?
 * Knee bracing - given that compression by Baker's Cysts may cause a DVT, surely further compression to area only further restricts venous flow and increases risk further. Do orthopaedics really still recomend this ? David Ruben Talk 16:37, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Bracing for a popliteal cyst is not, in my experience, a productive therapy (although it may serve to minimize movements that compress the cyst and result in pain).
 * Acetominophen is not an effective anti-inflammatory - it is a far better antipyretic. Ibuprofen is the drug of choice in my clinic, corticosteriods are generally to be avoided for numerous reasons (degradation of collagen, systemic effects)
 * Therapeutic ultrasound and low intensity laser are physical therapy modalities which may be useful.Osteodoc (talk) 01:48, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I am tempted to remove all of the subsections of Therapy. None of them include references; I added an unreferenced section box to each one, but this is a cumbersome "solution". I also added a ref improve box at the top of the article. I would like a second opinion before removing the uncited claims entirely. Attys (talk) 22:26, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Please add a Diet subsection of treatment
Could anyone track down and add references for dietary treatments?

A dietary treatment is intuitive : A Baker's cyst is a type of chronic inflammation, so simply pursue an anti-inflammatory diet.

I limp from my Baker's cyst when I eat dairy like cheese and yogurt, but I feel nothing if I avoid dairy. I'd recommend limiting grains, refined sugars, alcohol too. And use cooking oils with more omega-3 fats like olive oil, coconut oil, etc. I've read that lower quality feedlot raised meats are supposedly much more inflammatory than better quality grass fed meats, but I have never eaten enough low quality meats to notice an impact on my cyst. Dairy is the main thing I can easily eat to excess, thus stimulating my cyst. Also, inflammation from dairy becomes worse as people age since gradually develop lactose intolerance. Inflammation from other foods might not worsen with age. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.250.118.54 (talk) 09:30, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Aburatsubo

Aburatsubo (油壺) is an inlet on the west side of the Miura Peninsula in Kanagawa, Japan, facing Sagami Bay on the Pacific Ocean. It exits into neighbouring Moroiso inlet.

History
During historic times, the Aburatsubo inlet was selected by the feudal Miura family to build a series of fortifications, with Arai castle at its center. During the Sengoku period, the castle fell after a 3-year siege to the rival Later Hōjō clan, in the year 1516. The Hōjō later managed to unify most of the Kantō.

According to some stories, the name Aburatsubo ("Oil Vase"), comes from the time when hundreds of samurai, fleeing the troops of Hōjō, drowned in the waters of the inlet and left it a sea of blood.

Aburatsubo today
Aburatsubo is a "hurricane hole" where fishing boats from the area take refuge when a typhoon arrives. The calm, protected waters of the inlet suggest they are the actual reason behind the name "Aburatsubo". Regardless of the reason, the adjacent Shirahige shrine, dedicated to Fukurojin, was built as thanks for the inlet's calmness.

Viktor Kožený

Viktor Kožený (born 28 June 1963 in Prague, Czechoslovakia) is a fugitive financier.

According to Bloomberg News, he graduated from Harvard in 1989 with a bachelor's degree in economics. However, he cannot be located in the Harvard Alumni directory as of 2015. Viktor Kožený is an Irish citizen imprisoned in the Bahamas in 2005 but released in 2007. He currently lives in a gated community in the Bahamas. Efforts to bring him to justice stem from both the Czech Republic and the USA. An international warrant has been issued for Kožený, who in the early 1990s ran one of the great scams of the post-Communist era. By the media he is often called "the pirate of Prague".

He was imprisoned after a US extradition request, but that was refused by Bahaman authorities in October 2007.

In February 2008 a court case against him and his partner Boris Vostrý started at Prague Municipal Court. Kožený has remained in the Bahamas and has not been attending the trial. He asked the prosecution to publish the charges on the Internet, which the state prosecutor has refused to do. His defense counsel later published the indictment upon order from Kožený.

In 2010, Kožený was convicted of fraud by a Czech court and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment and ordered to pay damages equal to hundreds of millions in USD. In 2012, the judgment was reaffirmed by the High Court in Prague with minor changes. An enforcement action based on this judgement has been lodged by the fraud victim in New York, targeting assets frozen by US authorities. The defendant in the case is a company owned beneficially by Kožený's mother, Jitka Chvatik. Assets of the company have been refrozen by the court after the company lost an appeal in 2014. The case is still pending.

As of January 2019, Kožený is still internationally wanted by the Czech and US criminal justice. He is effectively confined to The Bahamas, holding his Irish passport.

Czech voucher privatization
During the voucher privatization, Czech state assets were supposed to be handed over to Czech citizens through a system of vouchers, which could then be used to buy shares in companies. However mutual funds were founded, most successfully the one started by Kožený, Harvard Capital and Consulting (which has no affiliation with Harvard University).

Soon thousands of Czechs were signing over their voucher books to "Harvard", who promised a 1000% rate of return on investment. Harvard Funds bought shares in a number of companies, stripped assets and transferred the money abroad to offshore tax havens like the Bahamas. This scam turned out to be a huge success for Kožený and those working with him, who allegedly stole millions of dollars from investors in his funds.

Azerbaijan scam
In 1994, Kožený wanted to conduct a similar transaction in Azerbaijan. The country was considering privatizing its state run oil company SOCAR, and Kožený offered his services. U.S. investors handed their money to him, over $400million in total from clients such as AIG and Columbia University. The Azerbaijan government changed its mind on privatization, but Kožený did not return the money and instead ran to the Bahamas. Viktor Kožený in an exclusive interview with Mirza Khazar of the RFE/RL Azerbaijani Service on 17 July 2001 urged then Azerbaijani President Heydar Aliyev to fulfill his promises made in 1997–1998 concerning the privatization program in his country. According to Kožený, Heydar Aliyev and his son and current president, Ilham Aliyev, personally met with him and other members of Kožený's investors group in Baku and encouraged them to buy vouchers from citizens. Shortly after the first part of the interview with Viktor Kožený was aired, the newspaper "Alternativ," with close ties to the Azerbaijan President's Office, reacted promptly, claiming that President Aliyev or his son Ilham never met with Kožený. The paper admitted Kožený may have been tricked by some officials, but rejected his claim that President Aliev made any commitments to his group. Kožený faced a serious legal action by famed Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, who had filed an indictment in New York for his bribery of Azeri officials.

His trial for the scam began on 1 June 2010.

The Bahamian authorities later refused to turn Kožený over to the US authorities upon a 2012 ruling of the Privy Council which stated the offence was not an extraditable one.

However Kožený's partner, Frederic Bourke, appeared in a US court in 2009. The court accepted it to be proven that Kožený and his entourage bribed the President of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev, his son Ilham Aliyev, and two other high-ranking Azerbaijani officials. According to the indictment, the total amount of bribes reached USD 11million.
