Talk:List of Highlander Immortals

Untitled
Hi, I don't think you need to put introduction or something. Just write the article and edit it. Avoid using first person POV, and make it as a fair unbiased article. Thx. HoneyBee

Reorganization
I'm reorganizing the list by first appearence instead of alphabetical order. I think it would help if we separated the Immortals of the movies from the tv series and the animated series. What do you think? Secretaria 30 June 2006 (edit: 21 July)

Dick Nen

Richard Leroy Nen (born September 24, 1939) is an American former professional baseball player. A first baseman, Nen appeared in 367 games in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Los Angeles Dodgers (1963), Washington Senators (1965–1967, 1970) and Chicago Cubs (1968). He threw and batted left-handed, stood 6 ft tall and weighed 200 lb. He is the father of former major league relief pitcher Robb Nen.

Career
Nen was born in South Gate, California, graduated from Phineas Banning High School, and attended Los Angeles Harbor College and California State University, Long Beach. The Dodgers signed him in 1961, and Nen's first season in the Class C California League was highly productive, with a league-leading 32 home runs and 144 runs batted in, along with a .351 batting average. After two years with Triple-A Spokane, the first-place Dodgers recalled him in September 1963 during the height of the National League pennant race.

In his major league debut September 18, 1963, he was inserted into the lineup as a pinch hitter in the top of the seventh inning against the second-place St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium and lined out to centerfield off Bob Gibson, the future Hall of Famer. Remaining in the game as the first baseman, Nen batted again in the ninth with the Dodgers trailing 5–4. Facing right-handed relief pitcher Ron Taylor, Nen hit a game-tying home run "over the roof" in right field to send the game into extra innings. The Dodgers won in the 13th frame to sweep the Cardinals in the three-game series, increasing their league lead to four games. They won the 1963 pennant by six lengths and swept the New York Yankees in the 1963 World Series.

The home run against the Cardinals was Nen's only hit as a Dodger; he batted .125 for them in 1963 and returned to Spokane for all of 1964. Traded to Washington that December in a blockbuster deal headlined by Frank Howard and Claude Osteen, Nen spent the bulk of his MLB service time with the Senators, getting into 279 games and hitting 18 of his 21 big-league home runs with them. His Washington tenure was interrupted in by a season as reserve first baseman for the Chicago Cubs. All told, Nen collected 185 big-league hits, with 23 doubles and three triples accompanying his 21 homers. Ineligible for the 1963 World Series, he never appeared in a postseason game. He retired after the 1972 minor league season.

Shefa Province

Shefa is one of the six provinces of Vanuatu, located in the center of the country and including the islands of Epi and Efate and the Shepherd Islands. The province's name is derived from the initial letters of SHepherd and EFAte. It has a population of 78,723 people and an area of 1,455 km2. Its capital is Port Vila, which is also the capital of the nation.

History
In the 1860s, Havanna Harbour, north Efate, was the centre of development in Shefa, with cotton plantations the focus. With dwindling prices for cotton, agricultural administrators turned to maize and coffee, before settling mainly with coconuts and cattle which are the main agricultural products today.

The French and British continued to have conflicting interests in Vanuatu (then known as New Hebrides) and decided upon a Joint Naval Commission, or Condominium, in 1887, with the Joint Court opened in 1910, it is still used today.

Shefa Province was a strategic location during World War II for the mainly American troops. Major instalments were placed on northern Efate along Havanna Harbour including Tanaliou, Siviri and Saama, and some outer Efate Islands including Moso Island.

In December 2021, the province was first to recognize Benny Wenda as the president of the transitional government of West Papua.

Geography
The Shefa Islands are volcanic and limestone/raised reef in origin. The one active volcano in the Province, on Epi is only sporadically active, and other underwater and extinct volcanos are scattered throughout Shefa.

Shefa is made up of approximately 27 islands, Efate being the most populated and also the location of the Vanuatu capital, Port Vila. It is at the south end of the province and is surrounded by several smaller islands, including Iririki, Ifira, Eratap, Erakor, Erueti Lep, Ekapum Lep, Eretoka (Hat), Lelepa, Moso, Nguna, Pele, Kakula, and Emao. To the north are the Shepherd Islands, a group that includes Naore, Etarik, Mataso, Makura, Emae, Buninga, Tongariki, Tongoa, Ewose, and Laika. At the north end is the other large island in the province, Epi, as well as nearby Tefala, Namuka and Lamen. Some of these islands are uninhabited.

There is plenty of reef accessible for snorkellers to the advanced diver including Pango Wall, and Mele Reef. There is even the opportunity to sight endangered species such as turtle and dugongs near Erakor Island and marine sanctuaries.

Some of the Shefa islands have no permanent watercourses and water must be collected for drinking and bathing from rain water, which can be a tenacious exercise during drier years. The rivers of Shefa include the Tagabe, the Epule, and the Rentapau River.

Marine sanctuaries are becoming an increasingly popular way to attempt to preserve marine life around Shefa, although traditional methods of conservation can be highly effective. This movement is also an attempt to increase tourism. Parks and Sanctuaries include the Efate Land Management Area. the Nikaura Marine Protected Area on Epi, the Nguna-Pele Marine Protected Area Network on Nguna and Pele, and the Hideaway Marine Sanctuary, Hideaway Island.

Demographics
The capital of Vanuatu, Port Vila is home to approximately 44,000 people, mostly the indigenous ni-Vanuatu, and Shefa home to an estimated 79,000 in the 2009 census. Both anecdotal and statistical information shows an increase in urbanisation which doubled between 1967 and 1999. Most of Shefa's population resides in coastal areas and Efate's interior is largely unoccupied.

Politics
The Shefa Provincial Council Headquarters are located in Port Vila; these humble offices house the political and administrative hub of the Shefa government. The representatives for Shefa Province number some 18 and are elected every two years, with the president, vice president, 2nd vice president, 3rd vice president and treasurer being nominated at that time. The current president is John Markal, representing Erakor constituent.

Culture
There are approximately five languages, apart from the national language of Bislama, spoken over Shefa including the Ifira-Mele, South Efate, Nakanamanga of North Efate and outer Efate islands, Namakir of Tongoa and parts of Emae, and Emae language (a Polynesian outlier, in contrast to the other Melanesian languages). French and English are also spoken widely through the province.

Shefa Province is home to the Chief Roi Mata Domain located in Northwest Efate covering the area from Mangililui and Mangaas to Lelepa Island to Eretoka (Hat) Island. Chief Roi Mata Domain was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. It is the first such site to be inscribed in Vanuatu and is a popular attraction for tourists. The legend of Roi Mata speaks of a mighty Chief who brought peace to Efate and its surrounding islands after years of clan fighting and warfare. Jealous of his status, the Chief's brother shot him with a poison dart. Chief Roi Mata succumbed to the poison within Fels Cave on Lelepa island. He was then interred on Eretoka. Many still-living men and women were buried alongside him. This oral history was passed down over 400 years until a French archaeologist confirmed the tale by excavating the burial site and found some 40 skeletons adorned with jewellery denoting high rank.

There are no kastom villages left in Shefa Province, that is, with people walking around in grass skirts and blowing conch shells on a daily basis; however, many traditional cultural practises are still strong in Shefa. Despite the inward-bound Western influence, people predominantly consume traditional foods, such as coconuts, bananas, and island cabbage, rather than packaged foods.

Economy
Along with tourism and hospitality, subsistence agriculture and fishing are major economic activities. Hospitality venues include the many and increasing kava bars, or ‘nakamals’, that are dotted around Port Vila and greater Shefa Province. Substantial financial boosts into communities generally come from land sales which in turn insights land disputes and displacement from traditional lands reducing the possibility for subsistence agriculture by some of the communities closer to Vila.

Tourism
Shefa Province is the gateway for many tourists into other parts of Vanuatu. Underwater wonderlands, endangered aquatic species, lush bush, active volcanos, living culture make up the diverse landscapes and experiences that await the tourist to Shefa Province. Specific tourist attractions include the Mele-Maat Cascades, the world's first underwater post office off the shore of Hideaway Island, the Vanuatu Cultural Centre, and tours to Chief Roi Mata's Domain. Port Vila is noted for its many high-quality restaurants and international cuisine.

As the main industry of Shefa Province tourism and hospitality is gaining a lot of interest from ni-Vanuatu as a potential business, and there are plenty of bungalows located throughout the Province. The accommodation ranges from the flashy and boutique to the quaint and provincial to the rustic and island style and everything in between.

The market for Shefa tourism is currently honeymooners, cruise shippers and couples with the main draw cards for tourists being proximity to quality tourism infrastructure in Port Vila, Vanuatu culture, World War II history, and marine activities. With the wide and readily available bungalow market opening up there is increasing potential for backpacker tourism within Shefa Province, Vanuatu and the entire South Pacific.

Transportation
The roads are not regularly maintained or graded and the few sealed roads are located close to Port Vila. Funding from the Millennium Challenge Account Vanuatu has been used to seal the entire ring road and satellite roads of Efate.

There are 5 airports in Shefa Province. The largest is the Bauerfield International Airport of Port Vila, serviced by numerous international carriers including Air Vanuatu, Qantas, Virgin Australia, Air New Zealand, and Fiji Airways. On Epi there are two regional airports, Lamen Bay Airport and Valesdir Airport. In the Shepherd Islands there are two more, Tongoa Airport and Siwo Airport on Emae. The regional airports are all serviced by Air Vanuatu.

Major wharfs are located in Port Vila, Efate and Lamen Bay, Epi Island, which are serviced by cargo and cruise ships.

Herold (beer)

Herold is a brand of beer made in Herold Březnice Brewery, a small brewery in Březnice, a town 60 kilometres south of Prague, Czech Republic.

History
Beer was first noted to have been commercially brewed in 1506. Its age puts it firmly towards the top of the list of world's oldest continuously operating companies.

Following World War II, the brewery was taken over by the government and became part of the state-owned Institute for Brewing and Malt Production. Pivovar Herold Březnice is now once more operating under private ownership for the first time since 1945.

In 2008, the brewery was once again under Czech control when Ballena a.s. bought out the American owners, the new owners also resurrected Herold Weizen.

Orange Belt Stages

Orange Belt Stages was a bus company based in Visalia, California, affiliated with the Trailways Transportation System. The company was incorporated on November 30, 1935, and operated scheduled service in California as well as charter services. The company ceased operations in 2020 as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism.

History
The company had its beginning in 1916, when Cyril Haworth began a taxi service in Kern County, California, serving oil field workers in McKittrick, Taft, and Bakersfield. Pickwick Stage Lines leased its Bakersfield–Paso Robles route to Haworth in 1930, who was later granted the right to purchase the Delano–Exeter route (via Ducor, Porterville, and Terra Bella) and to start an Exeter–Hanford route (via Visalia) in 1933. The company was incorporated on November 30, 1935.

Cyril "Pop" Haworth had three sons; two assumed control of the company as partners in 1943: Thoburn (T.S.) and Bryan (B.W.). Cyril retired in 1952 but continued to drive buses. By 1955, OBS was serving routes totaling 400 mi. Thoburn ran the Visalia branch while Bryan ran the Bakersfield branch until he was bought out in the mid 1970s. Thoburn's son Michael has run the company from Visalia since 1985. The headquarters was in Visalia with branches in Fresno and Bakersfield.

The name Orange Belt Stages came from the route along the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, where lush groves of oranges are found.

In May 1969 a bus carrying a group of Girl Scouts from Universal Studios back to Bakersfield crashed and killed 3 young girls and injured many more.

The company owned Orange Belt Adventures, a travel agency offering tours and charters.

Orange Belt previously ran a route from Visalia to Las Vegas; the route was cancelled in 2017.

Orange Belt Stages operated scheduled routes as part of both the Trailways Transportation System and the Amtrak Thruway system.

The company ceased operations in 2020 as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism.

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. Actually, I already do a lot of chores. ;) I'm pretty active on AfD, and I would like to help with closing discussions there. Also, new pages patrol would be a whole lot more efficient with the ability to speedy pages instead of tagging them and waiting for others to do it. Of course I expect that, as time goes on, I'll discover other fun tasks to help me avoid working on my thesis.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. All of my major contributions are listed on my user page. Other than a few articles about type theory, my area of expertise, the contributions I'm most proud of are as follows. First, I've taken a lot of photographs, often improving the quality of existing ones (for instance from this to this at Highwayman's hitch) or adding totally new ones. The biggest, though, is my project "Project Punctuation", which has made 1¼ passes over the entire article namespace to correct typographical errors. We've also bagged and tagged or fixed loads of other problematic articles that passed RC/NP patrol in the process. Though these small edits account for a large fraction of my article namespace edits, on the other hand they're supported by a real lot of work behind the scenes to write and run the software that produces the dumps.
 * 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. Not much. My editing has not been particularly contentious, and years of dealing with troublemakers on my own websites has given me a pretty thick skin, so I am not the kind of person to get in heated arguments. I know some people on RfA see conflict resolution as an important test before adminship, so how about the argument over repeated copyvios at Talk:Bloodsport (film) (where I am called a poopoo head (heh), attacked variously, and threatened with e-mail bombs) on my birthday. The page was eventually vprotected after I asked for help, and I got a copy of the movie so I can watch it again and rewrite the summary (hopefully) to everyone's satisfaction soon. — brighterorange (talk) 22:46, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

The M=33 entry on the first line means it lasted for 33 days (though this includes time as an extratropical storm).

The first line's entry shows the storm emerging on 8/03 at 12AM as a 35-knot storm (I think 35knots is a TS...but by 6AM it was a 45knot storm, definitely a TS). The third-to-last line shows that on 9/03 at 6PM it was still a 65-knot hurricane. On the second-to-last line the storm is extratropical but still at 60 knots at 12AM (and drops to 45 knots by 6PM).

August has 31 days...so it looks to me like this storm existed for 31.75 days (plus another day as extratropical gives their total of 33). Note that the hurdat data is not really "official" but is a research product (though it's probably more accurate than the official data in many cases). Jdorje 18:41, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

 * According to UNISYS, it spent 34 full days as anything (midnight on August 3 to midnight on September 4). Minus 5 full days as an extratropical storm = 29 days as a tropical cyclone. Only 18 of those were consecutive. Ginger spent 27 consecutive days as a tropical cyclone. That far out-classes this storm, but regardless, it is amazing. 29 days spent as a tropical system. Wow! -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 03:37, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Midnight on August 3 to midnight on September 4 is only 32 days according to my calculations. Jdorje 20:22, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

 * This is one storm that should be re-evaluated. I think it was a Category 5 hurricane at least once in the open Atlantic...unfortunately 106-year-old technology wouldn't be able to prove it! CrazyC83 18:59, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

NC landfall
Also noteworthy, you can see that it made landfall around Cape Hatteras as a category 3 storm. This is fairly notable but isn't mentioned anywhere in the article. Jdorje 18:42, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Indeed. It was moving pretty slow too at the time. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 03:38, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Name
Shouldn't "San Ciriaco" come before "hurricane"? -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 02:18, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I think in Spanish it does not. See Hurricane San Felipe Segundo also. Jdorje 21:03, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * But in English it would be "1899 San Ciriaco hurricane"; this would also be closer to Wikipedia convention on naming historical events (eg 2001 southern Peru earthquake or 2007 United Kingdom floods). Totnesmartin (talk) 14:24, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I think with the 1899 in there, we have to do the English way. I'd imagine that it would be Huracan San Felipe Segundo (de 1928) in Spanish. Would anyone be opposed to moving this to 1899 San Ciriaco hurricane? ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:03, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Anyone watching this page have any thoughts? I think the current title is rather awkward. I think either it should be a standalone title of Hurricane San Ciriaco, or the year should be put at the end. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 19:05, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd agree with moving it, since the current title seems like an unattractive mix of Spanish and English naming conventions. Juliancolton (talk) 15:35, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

So exactly what are you proposing? Seems in 2008 you proposed it be moved to its current 1899 San Ciriaco hurricane title. Are you now proposing it still be moved once more yet to Hurricane San Ciriaco? If so, how is the 2008 rationale no longer valid? Regards, Mercy11 (talk) 22:06, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I still like the sound of "1899 San Ciriaco hurricane", as I did two years ago. I think the current title is awkward and doesn't sound right. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 05:37, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, go for it! There are no objections and, in any event, "1899 San Ciriaco hurricane" does run smoother. One thing, let's make sure the new title has a lower case "h" in hurricane (as you already correctly included). Mercy11 (talk) 23:01, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
 * KL, that move change was five years in the making. --Hurricanehink ( talk ) 23:43, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

"See also" immigration to Hawaii?
Why this there a "see also" for Puerto Rican Immigration to Hawaii? That's the only mention of Hawaii anywhere on the page. (I'm not linking in case someone was trying to increase the number of inward links to that page, relevant or not.) Vicki Rosenzweig (talk) 03:25, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I am not sure I know enough about this part of the history, but the answer is *probably* because, since at the time both Hawaii and Puerto Rico were U.S. territories, and both grew sugar as a major agricultural crop, upon Hurricane San Ciriaco hitting Puerto Rico, it initiate a large labor force migration from Puerto Rico to Hawaii. My somewhat educated guess. You can see this at the Puerto Rican immigration to Hawaii article, although -- admittedly -- that article does not do an excellent job at showing that cause/effect relationship as it lacks a good and smooth transition from one (San Ciriaco) to the other (the immigration). BTW, the Hawaii article does make this connection, and in a much clearer fashion. My name is Mercy11 (talk) 03:44, 29 September 2012 (UTC), and I approve this message.

 * Exactly. BTW, Norma Carr wrote her Ph.D thesis dissertation on the migration from Puerto Rico to Hawaii and it may be available at a library near you. N.

"Surprise Hurricane" is ambiguous and rather informal. Any objections to renaming it to something more specific? – Juliancolton  | Talk 22:11, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Thomas Tinker

Thomas Tinker (c. 1581 – 1620/21) and his family, comprising his wife and son, came in 1620 as English Separatists from Holland on the historic voyage of the Pilgrim Ship Mayflower. He was a signatory to the Mayflower Compact but he and his family all perished in the winter of 1620/1621, described by Bradford as having died in "the first sickness."

English origins
The English ancestry of Thomas Tinker is not certain – author Charles Banks believed that the most promising connection to Thomas Tinker of the Mayflower is a Thomas Tinker in the same field of work – carpenter, of Neatishead, co. Norfolk, born in 1581 at Thurne, co. Norfolk. Author Caleb Johnson reports this same Thomas Tinker married Jane White on June 25, 1609 in Thurne, co, Norfolk.

In Leiden
It is known that Thomas Tinker was an English Separatist residing in Leiden, Holland in the early 1600s. However, the only time that his name appears in Leiden records is on January 6, 1617, when he became a citizen of that city. His profession was listed as wood sawyer. His guarantors, per the record of that event, were Abraham Gray and John Keble.

On the Mayflower
The Tinker family's embarkation on the Mayflower, per William Bradford states: "Thomas Tinker, and his wife, and a sone." The names of the wife and son are unknown.

The Mayflower departed Plymouth, England on September 6/16, 1620. The small, 100-foot ship had 102 passengers and a crew of about 30-40 in extremely cramped conditions. By the second month out, the ship was being buffeted by strong westerly gales, causing the ship's timbers to be badly shaken with caulking failing to keep out sea water, and with passengers, even in their berths, lying wet and ill. This, combined with a lack of proper rations and unsanitary conditions for several months, attributed to what would be fatal for many, especially the majority of women and children. On the way there were two deaths, a crew member and a passenger, but the worst was yet to come after arriving at their destination when, in the space of several months, almost half the passengers perished in cold, harsh, unfamiliar New England winter.

On November 9/19, 1620, after about three months at sea, including a month of delays in England, they spotted land, which was the Cape Cod Hook, now called Provincetown Harbor. After several days of trying to get south to their planned destination of the Colony of Virginia, strong winter seas forced them to return to the harbor at Cape Cod hook, where they anchored on November 11/21. Thomas Tinker was a signatory to the Mayflower Compact.

Family of Thomas Tinker
Per Johnson, this may be the same Thomas Tinker, carpenter, who married Jane White in Thurne, co. Norfolk, England on June 25, 1609
 * ______ (son), possibly born sometime after 1609.

Death of Thomas Tinker and his family
The dates of death of Thomas Tinker, his wife and son are unknown. Bradford used the term "died in the first sickness" for the family so presumption is made they died possibly in December 1620 or January 1621 when illness had become rampant. Thomas Tinker was buried in Cole's Hill Burial Ground in Plymouth, likely in an unmarked grave as with many passengers who died in the early days. His son is noted as being buried in Cole's Hill Burial Ground and the wife's burial is listed as unknown, but it is believed she also was buried at Cole's Hill. The family is memorialized on the Pilgrim Memorial Tomb on Cole's Hill as "Thomas Tinker his wife and son."

The fate of the Thomas Tinker family as recollected by William Bradford in 1651: "Thomas Tinker, and his wife and sone, all dyed in the first sicknes."

Bédoin

Bédoin (Bedoin) is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.

Geography
Located at the base of Mont Ventoux, it is the starting point of one of the three routes to the summit of the mountain (the other routes start in Malaucène and Sault). The Tour de France frequently uses this approach to Mont Ventoux hence the strong presence of cycling in the town.

Sights
Bédoin contains a large Spanish-style church, constructed by Jesuits in 1702.

History
In 1794, the village of Bédoin was destroyed by the Revolutionaries and 66 people were executed.

Plains pocket mouse

The plains pocket mouse (Perognathus flavescens) is a heteromyid rodent of North America. It ranges from southwestern Minnesota and southeastern North Dakota to northern Texas east of the Rockies, and from northern Utah and Colorado to northern Chihuahua west of the Rockies.

It has soft silky fur and grows to be 5 in long, although nearly half of that is the tail.

They often live directly underneath Spanish bayonet or prickly pear plants. They are accustomed to sandy soil and eat mostly seeds, large and small grasses and small leaves of plants. Some food found in their cheek pouches are: seeds of needle grass (Stipa), bind weed, sandbur grass, a small bean (probably Astragalus), and sedge (Cyperus). Even those caught in grain fields usually have their pouches filled with weed seeds. Seeds of two species of pigeon grass, a few other grasses, and wild buckwheat have been found in their burrows.

Their breeding season is mainly July to August and the females tend to have 4 embryos at a time. Other information about this animal is scarce.

 * Oppose why obviously with four Tropical Storm Albertos? In ictu oculi (talk) 21:18, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
 * This is by far the deadliest Alberto, no other Alberto has killed more than 5 people. Jdcomix (talk) 13:18, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination. Analogous to the deadly Tropical Storm Allison which is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of Tropical Storm Allison (disambiguation) —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 21:56, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
 * No, it's not analogous to Tropical Storm Allison. Allison was retired, so it automatically becomes the primary topic. Alberto (1994) was not retired, so it's a different issue. -- Tavix ( talk ) 16:00, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Oppose since there are other tropical storms named Alberto and the storm wasn't retired. It would be better for someone to be given a disambiguation page here. -- Tavix ( talk ) 15:59, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Tavix. --219.79.127.72 (talk) 09:23, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Not directly relevant whether it was retired or not, but given the Hurricane Alberto (1982), which caused 23 deaths, and is also a tropical storm (correct me if I'm wrong, but all hurricanes are tropical storms, whereas not all tropical storms are hurricanes, is that right?) I think a there is no WP:PTOPIC here. — Amakuru (talk) 15:52, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. This article has been up for two weeks, give it a chance.  At any rate, the school is notable.  The some of the interior scenes in the movie Sixteen Candles were filmed there.  (Maybe I'll just go add that fact to the article.) Crypticfirefly 03:08, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Sixteen candles certainly makes this school notable. --best, kevin · · · Kzollman | Talk · · · 03:36, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Not really - its useless trivia which should be put in the movie's article if it is really worth keeping :). Ryan Norton T 04:26, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I respectfully disagree with Ryan Norton. John Hughes surely knew this school when he was growing up and has used a number of schools in the area as locations for his films.  The fact that he chose Niles North as a filming location shows that its atmosphere fits into a certain idealized type of midwestern "upper middle class" high school. Crypticfirefly 05:24, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * You see - it was in the movie precisely because it was not notable - because it was just like every other midwestern "upper middle class" school out there. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, of course :). Ryan Norton T 05:39, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * No, I don't see, and I still think you are wrong. Information that a film was made at a location also belongs in the article for that location can make that location notable.  The school was in the movie due to having a certain look -- being a quinessential example of such a school-- and being in a certain location. I doubt that Hughes sent out a team to look for this location, given where the school is he almost certainly was familiar with it from his personal life.  Furthermore, assuming the information were added to the Sixteen Candles page, wouldn't it be more elegant to mention the school and then link to an article with more information about it (location, info on architecture, etc.) than it would to put all of that in the Sixteen Candles article?  That is what hyperlinks are for, after all.  Especially since the article currently has no information about where any of the scenes were filmed. Crypticfirefly 12:27, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The demands for "notablity" of schools (not a valid criteria for deletion of schools in the first place) by deletionists are getting increasingly baffling and incomprehensible. This school was used in a major motion picture, front page of the Chicago Tribune and already has some listed notable alumni. The fact that this school has these clearly notable events in it's history just goes to demonstrate how pointless it is to argue "notability" with deletionists in the first place. This institution is inherently notable anyway - waiting for deletionists to subjectively call out the particular instances of notable events and then argue about them is just a waste of time; after all, we have so much to do voting to keep on other school articles!
 * May I perhaps add my two cents about this matter? Although it is certainly trivial knowledge, adding that information just to the sixteen candles articles is a disservice.  Consider the following situation.  I'm researching, say, facts about schools in this school system.  I may not have the wherewithal to search and look at all the hits, I may just look for articles on each of the schools.  In this case, having the article serves a purpose.  Sure, its not much of a purpose, but in the case of things like schools (who are not here trying to get hits or sales), as far as I'm concerned, any reason is a reason to keep.  What's the harm?  To trot out the old standby, we're not killing trees. --best, kevin  · · · Kzollman | Talk · · · 15:19, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Still a School Stub --JAranda | yeah 04:00, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete nothing here differentiates it from the other schools - thus it is non-notable Ryan Norton T 04:23, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep as usual, and for the benefit of viewers of Sixteen Candles who might like to know more about it. Please consider attempting to reach consensus instead of voting to delete schools. Kappa 06:42, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I strongly agree with Kappa's "please reach a consensus" point. Debating schools, at length, almost daily, here at AfD is a sad waste of intellectual energy.
 * This is not consensus - in fact its obvious there is no consensus. Until both sides agree to do something with these terrible "articles" this debate will continue every day here. I already suggested making school district articles and moving it there instead, but the keep all schools side does not agree, so instead we have this - every day. At least on the keep side things have degenerated to cut n' pasted arguments - give me something about the particular article that makes it noteworthy, not a keep all schools argument please. Oh, and comments like "Nominating schools is a waste of everyone's time" is just going to make things worse. Something needs to be done here, and just deleting everything or keeping everything is not the answer. Ryan Norton T 13:29, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * What is obvious is that 85%-90% of school articles nominated to VfD/AfD this year are not deleted. 85% not deleted over the course of a year sure sounds like a concensus to me. It may not be a concensus to keep or a concensus to delete, but it is a concensus about something. As though the arguments to delete from the deletionist side aren't every bit as tired, facile and formulaic as you are suggesting the keep arguments are. Case in point, this very article is nominated with the oh-so-impressive and intellectually rigourous comment: "NN, D." by none other than a deletionist usual suspect.--Nicodemus75 18:27, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep for being a high school. Sixteen Candles is a nice plus.  I find it interesting how an article for a school teaching 2,300 is being seriously looked at for deletion but, at the same time, an album which had a total of only 33 copies on tape and is just a track listing, is getting a near-universal keep vote.  When somebody tries to make an article for a single class of 33 students, I'll AFD that, but a 2,300 student ongoing school stays in my book.  --rob 06:47, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Sand War

The Sand War (حَرْبُ الرِّمَال) was a border conflict between Algeria and Morocco fought from September 25 to October 30, 1963, although a formal peace treaty was not signed until February 20, 1964. It resulted largely from the Moroccan government's claim to portions of Algeria's Tindouf and Béchar provinces. The Sand War led to heightened tensions between the two countries for several decades.

Full-blown confrontation began on September 25, 1963 once Moroccan forces occupied the border towns of Hassi Beida and Tindjoub, beginning a battle with Algerian forces for control over the towns. In the north, Algeria opened a front near Ich, while Morocco launched an offensive towards Tindouf in the south. Cuban troops arrived in Algeria to prepare for an offensive into eastern Morocco, prompting Morocco to prepare for a second offensive towards Tindouf. However, both attacks were suspended, and a ceasefire was officially declared on October 30, 1963. This ceasefire marked the first multinational peacekeeping mission conducted by the Organisation of African Unity. A formal peace treaty was eventually signed on February 20, 1964.

Background
Three factors contributed to the outbreak of this conflict: the absence of a precise delineation of the border between Algeria and Morocco, the discovery of important mineral resources in the disputed area, and the Moroccan irredentism fueled by the Greater Morocco ideology of the Istiqlal Party and Allal al-Fassi.

Pre-colonial era
Before French colonization of the region in the nineteenth century, part of south and west Algeria were under Moroccan influence and no border was defined. In the Treaty of Lalla Maghnia (March 18, 1845), which set the border between French Algeria and Morocco, it is stipulated that "a territory without water is uninhabitable and its boundaries are superfluous" and the border is delineated over only 165 km. Beyond that there is only one border area, without limit, punctuated by tribal territories attached to Morocco or Algeria.

In the 1890s, the French administration and military called for the annexation of the Tuat region. Tuat owed religious and tributary allegiance to the Sultans of Morocco, although it was separated from both Algeria and Morocco by a largely uninhabited desert.

The French 19th Army Corps' Oran and Algiers divisions fought the Aït Khabbash, a fraction of the Aït Ounbgui khams of the Aït Atta confederation. The Moroccan viceroy of Tafilalt who was in charge of collecting tribute from the region refrained from interfering in the conflict, and thus the local tribes were left to fend for themselves. Although the Moroccan state did not interfere in the annexation of the Tuat region, several Moroccan tribes independently sent volunteers to fight against the French. The conflict ended with the annexation of the Touat-Gourara-Tidikelt complex by France in 1901.

Colonial era
In 1903, France also began expanding westwards towards Bechar and Tindouf. They defeated the local tribesmen at the Battle of Taghit and the Battle of El-Moungar, although they didn't directly annex the region into French Algeria. The borders around this region were loosely defined.

After Morocco became a French protectorate in 1912, the French administration set borders between the two territories, but these tracks were often misidentified (Varnier line in 1912, Trinquet line in 1938), and varied from one map to another, since for the French administration these were not international borders and the area was virtually uninhabited. The discovery of large deposits of oil and minerals (iron, manganese) in the region led France to define more precisely the territories, and in 1952 the French decided to integrate Tindouf and Colomb-Bechar to the French departments of Algeria.

In 1956 France relinquished its protectorate in Morocco, which immediately demanded the return of the disputed departments, especially Tindouf. The French government refused.

Algerian War and Independence
During the Algerian War, Morocco backed the National Liberation Front, Algeria's leading nationalist movement, in its guerrilla campaign against the French. However, one of the FLN's primary objectives was to prevent France from splitting the strategic Sahara regions from a future Algerian state. It was, therefore, disinclined to support Morocco's historical claims to Tindouf and Bechar or the concept of a Greater Morocco.

Upon Algerian independence, the FLN announced it would apply the principle of uti possidetis to pre-existing colonial borders. King Hassan II of Morocco visited Algiers in March 1963 to discuss the undefined borders, but Algeria's President Ahmed Ben Bella believed the matter should be resolved at a later date. Ben Bella's fledgling administration was still attempting to rebuild the country after the enormous damage caused by the Algerian War and was already pre-occupied with an insurgency by the FFS led by Hocine Aït Ahmed opposed to Ben Bella's autocratic rule. Algerian authorities suspected that Morocco was inciting the revolt, while Hassan was anxious about his own opposition's reverence for Algeria, escalating tensions between the nations. These factors prompted Hassan to begin moving troops towards Tindouf.

Algeria
The Algerian military, recently formed from the guerrilla ranks of the FLN's National Liberation Army (ALN), was still oriented towards asymmetric warfare, and had few heavy weapons. Its logistics was also complicated by its vast array of largely obsolete weapons from a number of diverse sources, including France, Germany, Czechoslovakia, and the United States. The Algerian army had ordered a large number of AMX-13 light tanks from France in 1962, but, at the time of the fighting, only twelve were in service. Ironically, at least four AMX-13s had also been donated by Morocco a year earlier. The Soviet Union supplied Algeria with ten T-34 tanks, but these were equipped for clearing minefields and were delivered without turrets or armament. The Algerian army also lacked trucks, aircraft, and jeeps. In 1963, the size of the Algerian army was 48,000 troops and it had a military budget of $66 million.

Morocco
Morocco's armed forces were smaller, but comparatively well-equipped and frequently took advantage of their superior firepower on the battlefield. They possessed forty T-54 main battle tanks that they had purchased from the Soviet Union, twelve SU-100 tank destroyers, seventeen AMX-13s, and a fleet of gun-armed Panhard EBR armored cars. Morocco also possessed modern strike aircraft, while Algeria did not. In 1963, the size of the Moroccan army was 34,843 troops and it had a military budget of $94 million.

Battles of Hassi Beida and Tindjoub
Weeks of skirmishes along the border eventually escalated into a full-blown confrontation on September 25, 1963, with intense fighting around the oasis towns of Tindouf and Figuig. The Royal Moroccan Army soon crossed into Algeria in force and succeeded in taking the two border posts of Hassi Beida and Tindjoub. On October 5, representatives from Morocco and Algeria convened at Oujda to negotiate, but they were unable to deliver a solution. The Moroccans were determined to adjust the border, which the Algerians would not allow, resulting in an impasse. Morocco mobilized 30,000 to 40,000 men, while Algeria mobilized a similar amount.

The Algerian forces began to retaliate against the Moroccan advances, taking back the posts of Hassi Beida and Tindjoub on October 8 and killing 10 Moroccan soldiers. Morocco claimed that this Algerian attack caused it 20 injuries and 80 disappeared. This prompted further attempts at negotiations, but these proved ineffectual as well.

The capture of Hassi Beida involved 1,000 Moroccan soldiers under the command of colonel Habibi who started from bases near Ouarzazate. Moroccan infantry advanced along camel roads until 4:00 a.m. The battle involved mortars and heavy machine guns. Tinjoub held out for about 2 hours until 7:30 a.m, while Hassi Beida held out for another hour. The larger Moroccan army retook the two posts during the week of October 14, killing at least 10 Algerians in the process. The Algerians retreated to Tinfouchy. During the battle, there were 1,000 Moroccan troops armed with bazookas, recoilless cannons, heavy machine guns and tanks. It is asserted that 3,000 Algerian troops took part in the battle. Little use of airpower has been reported, except for an Algerian plane that bombarded Oued Zeknou. This battle cut the route from Bechar to Tindouf and the passage of caravans through the area.

Algeria was strongly disadvantaged as the front was within the range of the Saharan military district of Morocco and accessible to logistical support, while the fighting took place 750 miles away from the capital Algiers, and Algerian troops were committed to suppressing the Socialist Forces Front rebellion in the region of Kabylia, which Algeria eventually succeeded in suppressing. On October 15, Ben Bella called for a remobilization of the National Liberation Army to repel the Moroccan invaders. Negotiations for a ceasefire failed again in Marrakesh on October 15–17.

On October 20, Moroccan spokesmen reported the capture of an Algerian Army helicopter with 5 Egyptian officers on board. On October 23, Moroccan soldiers tried to attack the town of Hassi-Taghucht post, 90 km south of Tauz, while Algerian units tried to encircle and attack the town of Usada, 10 km from Zedgu, however, both of these attacks were repulsed. The Algerian army launched another counterattack against Hassi Beida with heavy material, however it withdrew after being repulsed, leaving almost a hundred dead on the ground.

Reactions to the outbreak of war
Despite internal discontent with the Algerian government, most of the country supported the war effort, which Algerians generally perceived as an act of Moroccan aggression. Even in regions where Ben Bella's regime remained deeply unpopular, such as Kabylia, the population offered to take up arms against the Moroccan invaders. Morocco's invasion proved to be a diplomatic blunder, as the other Arab and African states refused to recognize its border claims. Egypt (United Arab Republic) even began sending troops and defense hardware in late October to bolster the Algerian military, sending about 1,000 troops to Algeria. Morocco's Western allies provided assistance, after Morocco's formal requests for military aid. The United States feared the escalation and internationalization of the war, particularly wanting to avoid Soviet intervention, and therefore advocated for the peaceful resolution of the conflict. The United States opposed Hassan's interpretation of inter-Arab rivalry's effect on North Africa. Despite Hassan's request, France, Spain and the United States refused to provide him with military assistance in an effort to isolate the conflict. Ben Bella claimed that the conflict had been deliberately provoked by "feudal" Morocco with the encouragement of the United States in order to crush Algeria's socialist revolution.

Northern front
On October 18, the Algerians opened a new front along the border in the north, close to the more highly developed Mediterranean region of northern Algeria and in a portion of the border not contested by Morocco. This represented the first intensification of the hostilities and enlarged the war to the north. The Algerians attacked the town of Ich on October 18, a border oasis 80 miles northeast of Figuig, forcing the Moroccans to withdraw. The Moroccan casualties were a few dozen missing. On the next day, the Algerians bombarded the Tindrara region in Oujda province.

Tindouf offensive
On October 13, 1963, Moroccan ground units launched a major offensive on Tindouf. It stalled due to unexpectedly stubborn resistance from the town's Algerian and Egyptian garrison.

On October 28, 1963, Moroccan forces had planned a second offensive on Tindouf and occupied positions about four kilometres from the settlement. However, Hassan was reluctant to authorise it, fearing that another battle would prompt further military intervention from Algeria's allies.

Cuban arrival
On October 22, hundreds of Cuban troops arrived at Oran. The troops were sent at the request of Ben Bella, though he would later deny this in 1997. Just years after the victory of their own revolution, many Cubans identified with the Algerians and were eager to support them. They also suspected that Washington was hoping the war would precipitate Ben Bella's downfall, which Castro was determined to prevent. For these reasons, the Cuban government formed the Grupo Especial de Instrucción to be sent to Algeria. Its forces included twenty-two T-34 tanks, eighteen 120-mm mortars, a battery of 57-mm recoilless rifles, anti-aircraft artillery with eighteen guns, and eighteen 122mm field guns with the crews to operate them. The unit was made up of 686 men under the command of Efigenio Ameijeiras. Although they were initially described as an advisory contingent to train the Algerian army, Fidel Castro also authorized their deployment in combat actions to safeguard Algeria's territorial integrity. The Cubans offloaded their equipment and transported it to the southwestern front by rail. The troops provided training to the Algerians, and their medical team offered the population free healthcare. While Castro had hoped to keep Cuba's intervention covert, and a number of the Cuban personnel wore Algerian uniforms, they were observed by French military and diplomatic staff in Oran and word of their presence soon leaked to the Western press.

Operation Dignidad
Algeria and Cuba planned a major counteroffensive, Operation Dignidad, aimed at driving the Moroccan forces back across the border and capturing Berguent. From Oran, the Cuban military with armored vehicles on a train of 12 wagons and 42 open platforms travelled 70 km southwest to the city of Sidi Bel Abbes, and then another 10 km along the road to the border town of Ras El Ma, where they settled in Bedo barracks. The Cuban military immediately began preparations for battle. Ameijeiras, Bravo and other senior officers went to the city of Colomb-Bechar, where the headquarters of the Algerian Minister of Defense Houari Boumédiène was located. By that time, the Algerian military had already developed a strategy to confront the Moroccans. At a command meeting in Colomb-Béchar, Defense Minister Boumédiène set the task of capturing as many of the border areas of Morocco as possible, which would allow Algeria to negotiate from a position of strength. To this Ameijeiras resolutely declared "We won't stop until we get to Casablanca".

On the evening of October 28, 1963, the commander of the tank battalion, Captain Melquiades Gonzalez, reported to Ameijeiras that the T-34s were ready for the offensive. It was scheduled for the early hours of October 29. However, Ben Bella suspended the attack at 1:00 a.m. in order to proceed with negotiations to end the war peacefully.

Ceasefire
Multiple actors, including the Arab League, Tunisia's Habib Bourguiba, Libya's King Idris, and Ethiopia's Emperor Haile Selassie, sought to moderate negotiations. President of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser, sent a letter to Hassan II urging him to stop the fighting. In his message, he condemned the Moroccan attack and justified his support for Algeria, and suggested a ceasefire and both armies returning to their positions prior to the 8 October attack. The United Nations received many pleas to issue a ceasefire appeal, but Secretary-General U Thant wanted to allow regional initiatives to pursue a solution. On October 10, the Arab League called for a withdrawal of troops and reconciliation. On October 29, Hassan and Ben Bella met to negotiate in Bamako, Mali, joined by Emperor Selassie and Mali's President Modibo Keïta. After the four leaders met alone on October 30, a truce was declared. The accord mandated a ceasefire for November 2, and announced that a commission consisting of Moroccan, Algerian, Ethiopian, and Malian officers would decide the boundaries of a demilitarized zone. It was also determined that an Ethiopian and Malian team would observe the neutrality of the demilitarized zone. Finally, the accord suggested an immediate gathering of the Foreign Ministers of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU). The meeting would be held to set up a commission to determine who was responsible for starting the war and to examine the frontier question and suggest methods for bringing about a lasting settlement of the conflict.

Battle of Figuig
The ceasefire was almost jeopardized on November 1, when Algerian troops assaulted a village near Figuig and positioned themselves against the town's airport. Surrounded by Algerians, the town was assaulted with Algerian infantry and artillery. The Moroccans claimed to have beaten them off. The town has been under heavy shell fire and the number of dead civilians was reported to be at least 60. Fighting continued for two days after a cease-fire was to have taken effect, and Morocco reportedly pressed for the United Nations Security Council to consider the Algerian-Moroccan border dispute. According to The New York Times, the Algerian artillery barrage at this border town appeared to have erased the cease-fire agreement. The attack was denounced and dramatized by the Moroccan Government. Algerian Foreign Minister Abdelaziz Bouteflika expressed confidence that "wisdom will triumph" and that Algeria and Morocco would end renewed border fighting near the Moroccan town of Figuig. A Malian officer arrived on November 4 and enforced the Bamako Accord, ending the hostilities.

Peace treaty
The OAU mediated a formal peace treaty on February 20, 1964. The treaty was signed in Mali following a number of preliminary discussions between Hassan and Ben Bella. Terms of this agreement included a reaffirmation of the previously established borders in Algeria's favor and restoration of the status quo. The demilitarized zone was maintained in the meantime, monitored by the OAU's first multinational peacekeeping force.

Casualties
French sources reported Algerian casualties to be 60 dead and 250 wounded, with later works giving a number of 300 Algerian dead. Morocco officially reported to have suffered 39 dead. Moroccan losses were probably lower than the Algerians' but are unconfirmed, with later sources reporting 200 Moroccan dead. About 57 Moroccans and 379 Algerians were taken prisoner.

Aftermath
The Sand War laid the foundations for a lasting and often intensely hostile rivalry between Morocco and Algeria, exacerbated by the differences in political outlook between the conservative Moroccan monarchy and the revolutionary, Arab socialist Algerian military government. In January 1969, Algerian President Houari Boumediene made a state visit to Morocco and signed a treaty of friendship with Hassan's government at Ifrane. The following year the two leaders set up a commission to demarcate the border and examine prospects for joint efforts to mine iron ore in the disputed region. Morocco finally abandoned all claims to Algerian territory in 1972 with the Accord of Ifrane, though Morocco refused to ratify the agreement until 1989.

The governments of both Morocco and Algeria used the war to describe opposition movements as unpatriotic. The Moroccan UNFP and the Algerian-Berber FFS of Aït Ahmed both suffered as a result of this. In the case of UNFP, its leader, Mehdi Ben Barka, sided with Algeria, and was sentenced to death in absentia as a result. In Algeria, the armed rebellion of the FFS in Kabylie fizzled out, as commanders defected to join the national forces against Morocco.

The rivalry between Morocco and Algeria exemplified in the Sand War also influenced Algeria's policy regarding the conflict in Western Sahara, with Algeria backing an independence-minded Sahrawi guerrilla organization, the Polisario Front, partly to curb Moroccan expansionism in the wake of the attempt to annex Tindouf.

 * Weak Keep Not much seems to have changed since the last AfD, and it was on the border of notable then, but not much seems to have changed since the last AfD, and the result of that was Keep. I don't expect anything to change here except perhaps a discussion on bias towards fellow wikis. Many of them are notable, although there are a few(such as Wiki Gonzalez), that are mostly jibberish in Wiki software. Karmafist 02:20, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - The previous AfD shows that it is: a) spam and b) hardly notable. If it were to become notable, fine, but as it is the founder is on record as saying he put the article there so he could advertise in other articles.  Not a good idea, IMO. Sunray 03:01, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Seems like nearly all mentions of this are on Wikipedia or its mirrors.  NN, it's a term that never really was used much at all.  --W.marsh 03:35, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Neologism. --GraemeL (talk) 13:11, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I get 95 hits on google groups; ppl do sometimes this word in discussion (on USENET anyways). The term was also featured in the newspapers during the Nixon scandal, and in at least one recent article on MSN. When does an admitted neologism cross the line and have "realistic evidence of existence"? Eaglizard 09:16, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Used heavily in the political discourse of the late 60s and early 70s in the US. Phrase coined by Spiro Agnew (I think) and pops up in alot of Nixon-related primary sources (his enemy list, for example). Youngamerican 18:32, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Jazz hands

Jazz hands in performance dance is the extension of a performer's hands with palms toward the audience and fingers splayed. This position is also referred to as webbing. It is commonly associated with especially exuberant types of performance such as musicals, cheerleading, show choir, revue, and especially jazz dance shows. In cheerleading, the position with arms outstretched and fingers wiggling up and down is sometimes referred to as spirit fingers or jazz fingers. Depending on the performance venue, both gestures can be associated with campiness.

Probably the biggest proponent of jazz hands was Bob Fosse, who incorporated them in nearly all of his Broadway and film musical choreography. The best example of this is the opening musical number of Pippin, "Magic to Do", in which still, illuminated jazz hands are the first thing the audience sees.

Description
In the basic jazz hands position, the hands are open, the palms face forward, and the fingers are splayed; in addition sometimes the hands are shaken and the fingers are moving. The arm is often straight. Gus Giordano describes the position as the "palm of the hand facing forward with fingers stretched". Frank Hatchett instructs dancers to "spread fingers (jazz hands); face palms front".

Neither Gus Giordano nor Frank Hatchett include shaking the hands in their description of jazz hands, but a choreographer may specify that the hands are to be shaken—the motion is rapid and fluttering, as if jingling a tambourine.

Sports
Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks fans became widely known for the 'Spirit Fingers', when someone has a place kick.

In popular culture
"Jazz hands" is a common reference in movie riffing.

The novel Project Hail Mary features jazz hands as a means of interspecies communication.

Dr. Krieger, a character of Archer, replicates this move in Episode 4.11 "The Papal Chase".

Talk:Webacholic

I am the first author of this entry. How can I link or change the title of the entry to "Webaholism"?

You can't but as you may have noticed, I added a merge note.. such page already exists. And actually "Webacholic" probably doesn't even deserve a redirection, it has 4 hits on google. Webaholism has a bit more though. Yonir 02:08, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

actually I want to remove this entry because I mis-spelt the title (should be webaholic, or webacholism altogether). I can't find a way to do so (my account is too new?)

TeX
I've noticed that in at least a couple of math articles you've changed inline non-Tex mathematical notation to TeX. I for one do not regard that as an improvement. TeX looks beautiful when it's "displayed", and also when it's used in the usual way as opposed to the way it's used on Wikipedia. But "inline" as opposed to "displayed" TeX often gets badly misaligned or appears far bigger than the surrounding text. Not everyone agrees, though; see Manual of Style (mathematics).

I moved Paul Williams the composer to the top of the list, because in my subjective and personal opionion he is by far the most important of the PW's referenced here. Waiting to see if anybody calls me on this..lol Eaglizard 01:58, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Unless notability is asserted, redirect to terraforming. DS 03:58, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect as per DS--inks T 04:10, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Good redirect suggestion - make it so. BD2412  talk 05:51, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. Hopefully an occupation in three or four centuries :). Marskell 20:54, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Demogroup apparently w/ only one release (not listed in article), Future Crew they weren't. Above suggestions to redirect are incorrect; 'terraformer' might indeed be a groovy job in 3 centuries, but it isn't now. (Unless you have a cite? :) A non-existent profession isn't notable, is it? Eaglizard 09:27, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Terraforming itself is hypothetical but extensively discussed on. Terraformer seems a plausible redirect. Redirects are cheap—they don't have to be notable in themselves. Marskell 00:02, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I disagree; yeah, redirects are cheap, but server space is not the cost I worry about when we include what amounts to science fiction. My own (admittedly idiosyncratic) notability test includes: would it appear in World Book or Brittanica?Eaglizard 04:44, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
