Jeff Corey

Jeff Corey (born Arthur Zwerling; August 10, 1914 – August 16, 2002) was an American stage and screen actor. He was blacklisted in the 1950s and became an acting coach for a period, before returning to film and television work in the 1960s.

Life and career
Corey attended New Utrecht High School in Brooklyn and was active in the school's Dramatic Society. In the mid-1930s, he acted with the Clare Tree Major Children's Theater of New York. When Corey began making films, his agent suggested that he change his name from Arthur Zwerling, and he did so.

He worked with Jules Dassin, Elia Kazan, John Randolph, and other politically liberal theatrical personalities. Although he attended some meetings of the Communist Party, Corey never joined. A World War II veteran, Corey served in the United States Navy. His memoir, Improvising Out Loud: My Life Teaching Hollywood How To Act, which he wrote with his daughter, Emily Corey, is published by the University Press of Kentucky. His longtime friend and former student Leonard Nimoy wrote the book's foreword.

Hollywood
Corey moved to Hollywood in 1940 and became a character actor. One of his film roles was in Superman and the Mole Men (1951), which was later edited to a two-part episode of the television series The Adventures of Superman, retitled "The Unknown People". His portrayal of a xenophobic vigilante coincidentally reflected what was about to happen to him. Prior to the show Corey appeared in Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943), as one of the men who discover the body of the vagrant Freddy Jolly.

Blacklisted
Corey's career was over in the early 1950s, when he was summoned before the House Un-American Activities Committee. He refused to give names of alleged Communists and subversives in the entertainment industry and went so far as to ridicule the panel by offering critiques of the testimony of the previous witnesses. That led to his being blacklisted for 12 years. "Most of us were retired Reds. We had left it, at least I had, years before," Corey told Patrick McGilligan, the co-author of Tender Comrades: A Backstory of the Hollywood Blacklist, who teaches film at Marquette University. "The only issue was, did you want to just give them their token names so you could continue your career, or not? I had no impulse to defend a political point of view that no longer interested me particularly... They just wanted two new names so they could hand out more subpoenas."

While blacklisted Corey drew upon his experience in various actors' workshops (including the Actors' Lab, which he helped establish ) by seeking work as an acting teacher. He soon became one of the most influential teachers in Hollywood. His students, at various times, included Robert Blake, Carol Burnett, James Coburn, Richard Chamberlain, James Dean, Jane Fonda, Peter Fonda, Michael Forest, James Hong, Luana Anders, Sally Kellerman, Shirley Knight, and Bruce Lee.

Back to work in the 1960s
In 1962, Corey began working in films again, and remained active into the 1990s. He played Hoban in The Cincinnati Kid (1965), Tom Chaney, the principal villain in True Grit (1969), and Sheriff Bledsoe in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (also 1969), who says to the title characters, "I never met a soul more affable than you, Butch, or faster than the Kid, but you're still nothing but two-bit outlaws on the dodge. It's over, don't you get that? Your times is over and you're gonna die bloody, and all you can do is choose where." In Seconds (1966), a science-fiction drama film directed by John Frankenheimer and starring Rock Hudson, Corey with Will Geer and John Randolph played wealthy executives who opt to restart their lives with new identities.

Corey played a police detective in the psychological thriller The Premonition (1976) and he reprised the role of Sheriff Bledsoe in the prequel Butch and Sundance: The Early Days (1979). He also played Wild Bill Hickok in Little Big Man (1970). Corey directed some of the screen tests for Superman (1978), which can be seen in the DVD extras, and played Lex Luthor in several try-outs.

Television
Corey made guest appearances on many television series. He appeared as murder victim Carl Bascom in the Perry Mason episode, "The Case of the Reckless Rockhound" (1964). He was featured on science-fiction series, too, including an episode of The Outer Limits ("O.B.I.T.", 1963) in which he played Byron Lomax; Star Trek ("The Cloud Minders", 1969) in which he played High Advisor Plasus; as Caspay in Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970), and Babylon 5 ("Z'ha'dum", 1996) in which he played Justin.

Corey played Dr. Miles Talmadge on Rod Serling's Night Gallery season-one episode one, "The Dead Man", on December 16, 1970. He discussed his television work on Night Gallery in an interview in February 1973 aboard the SS Universe Campus of Chapman College. He was proudest of this work, for which he received an Emmy nomination.

During the 1970s, Corey also played Dr. Scott Rivers, an older man with whom Carol Kester (the character played by Marcia Wallace) becomes romantically involved, in 1973 in "Old Man Rivers," episode 31 of the Bob Newhart Show. In 1974, he appeared in "Murder on the 13th Floor," episode 6 of the James Stewart legal drama Hawkins. He also appeared in the short-lived 1974 series Paper Moon, a comedy about a father and his presumed daughter roaming through the American Midwest during the Great Depression based on the 1973 film of the same name.

In the 1980s, Corey was in a 1984 episode of Bob Newhart's show Newhart playing a judge. He played a man who believed he was Santa Claus in a 1984 episode of Night Court. He also had a role in a third-season episode of Night Court in 1986 as a burned-out judge who had lost his grip on reality. Corey was the voice of the villain Silvermane (in elderly form) in Spider-Man: The Animated Series in 1994.

Radio
In the era of old-time radio, Corey portrayed Detective Lieutenant Ybarra on the crime drama The Adventures of Philip Marlowe on NBC (1947) and CBS (1948–1951).

Personal life and death
Corey and his wife Hope had been married for 64 years at the time of his death at the age of 88 on August 16, 2002.

Sonata da camera

Sonata da camera is a 17th-century genre of musical composition for one or more melody instruments and basso continuo. It generally comprises a suite of several small pieces in the same mode or key that are suitable for dancing. A significant number of such works were produced during the mid- to late- 17th century by composers in Germany, including Heinrich Biber, Dietrich Becker, and Johannes Schenck. But the term sonata da camera came into use in Italy during the late 17th century, when the works of composers such as Arcangelo Corelli contributed to the popularity of both the sonata da camera and sonata da chiesa.

The term sonata da camera was originally used in its literal meaning of "chamber music", but later came to be used figuratively to contrast this genre of composition with the sonata da chiesa, which literally meant "church music", but generally comprised a suite of four movements with tempos following a largo–allegro–largo–allegro pattern.

In the Oxford History of Western Music, Richard Taruskin describes a sonata da camera as "... essentially a dance suite, which Corelli adapted to the prevailing four-movement format (a preludio and three dances or connecting movements)". The movements either were given tempo indications or names that indicated the style of dance, e.g., corrente, sarabande, or gigue. Nevertheless, there is great variation in the form of music that was called sonata da camera, including works such as Legrenzi's op. 4 of 1656, which are single movements in binary form, and Bononcini's op. 3 of 1669, which are also single movements, rather than a dance suite. After 1700, composers tended to merge the sonata da camera with the sonata da chiesa, and works comprising dance movements came to be called a variety of other names, such as partita, suite, ordre, ouverture, or air.

Sonata da camera were frequently composed for two violins and basso continuo. This three-part combination was also known as a trio sonata, but such works were often performed with a cellist or other instrument doubling the bass. Recent scholarship has revealed that the instruments used for to play basso continuo in Corelli's milieu were quite diverse, including theorbo, guitar, and organ. Ambiguities on the title pages of Corelli's works have led many to conclude that the continuo might have been either a harpsichord or a cello, rather than both, as was previously assumed.

Rakugakids

Rakugakids (らくがきっず) is a 2D fighting video game created by Konami for the Nintendo 64, released in 1998. The name Rakugakids is a portmanteau of the Japanese word rakugaki (meaning "doodle") and the English word "kids", a reflection of the visual style of the game, which resembled children's drawings.

Gameplay
The game is similar in play to a toned-down Street Fighter. The button layout is the six-button fighting game standard consisting primarily of three punches and three kicks, which combine with various directional commands to produce special secondary moves. All characters have a single-button attack that sends the opponent into the air, where they can be pursued and aerially attacked. To complement this, each character can perform an additional jump while in the air.

Super combos in this game are referred to as "Magic," a player can have up to three levels of Magic represented by three crayons that appear at the bottom of the screen. Super Meter levels can be spent in three ways: offense, where an attack causes heavy damage with a few hits; defense, where an attack causes little damage, but sends the opponent far away; and counter, usable only while the character is blocking, causes medium damage and sends the opponent flying away. Additional characters and secret options can be unlocked based on the amount of total playtime.

Characters

 * Astronots (アストロノッツ) drawn by Andy (アンディ): A Buck Rogers-like astronaut and the game's protagonist. He fights using assorted pulp-era sci-fi devices like a raygun and rocket boots.
 * Captain. Cat. Kit (キャプテン・キャット・キット) drawn by DDJ: An anthropomorphic cat dressed in hip hop fashion. Fights using brass instruments, a basketball and breakdancing moves. Also has the ability to spontaneously combust at will.
 * Marsa (マーサ) drawn by Nola (ノーラ): A witch bearing a hat that acts like a chicken. Marsa is the only one who can triple jump, and her 'Marsa Jump' sends her far up off screen. Used strategically, you can avoid danger with it.
 * Robot C.H.O (ロボット C.H.O.) drawn by Jerry (ジェリー): The game's heavyweight grappler character. A robot who can transform into various metal objects, like a trashcan or a car. The spinning letters on its hand and head will change depending on its actions.
 * Beartank (ベアタンク) drawn by Clione (クリオネ): A green bear with tank guns on its head and back. It can change its body into a set of tank treads (Leaving only its head exposed.) and fire small copies of itself from either gun. For some reason, it is constantly sleeping. It is the speediest character, the second being Captain. Cat. Kit.
 * Cools. Roy (クールス・ロイ) drawn by Roy (ロイ): A cowboy-like character, who fights with honor (his taunt is a bow to the opponent).
 * Mamezo (マメゾ) drawn by Val (バル): a yellow boogeyman-style character with a green cape. His moves are mostly jelly-like transformations into various gadgets and tools (like a fork, an iron, scissors and more) or summon rockets and other things. He is introduced as the main villain in the intro.

Hidden Characters

 * Inuzo (イヌゾ) drawn by Mudgas: The game's sub-boss character. A palette-swap of Mamezo with a different idle and walking animation but otherwise identical moves.
 * Darkness (ダークネス) drawn by George: The game's boss character. A ghost dog with various moves involving morphing itself and spawning objects from its body.

Reception
The art style of Rakugakids was frequently compared to PaRappa the Rapper. Lesser reviews from magazines like Joypad and Player One claimed there was nothing interesting in the gameplay, and that the "crazy universe", combination of comic elements and the fighting genre, and the art style's similarities to PaRappa the Rapper were its only appealing aspects. Player One did appreciate the incorporation of several blows that took advantage of all of the Nintendo 64 controller's buttons, and compared the character animation and quality to that of a title produced by Nintendo. Ultimately, however, he wrote Rakugakids was another fighting game where success was based on the randomness of the effectiveness of moves.

Legacy
Journalist Steve Merrett cited Konami's Nintendo 64 library as its last set of games that focused on gameplay; games like Rakugakids, International Superstar Soccer 98 (1998), Castlevania (1999), used the Nintendo 64's processing power to add to gameplay tropes previously established in 2D gaming. For Rakugakids, 2D characters fought on a 3D background. The game's formula is also an example of how 2D fighters from companies like Konami, Capcom, and SNK incorporated different methods to stay relevant in a market filled with 3D games.

Related releases
Some references such as characters and music from Rakugakids were later added to other video games by Konami. In Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, protagonist Nathan Graves can transform into the Beartank character by equipping the Bear Ring and activating the Black Dog and Pluto cards (which normally transforms him into a Skeleton). Beartank, Robot CHO, Mamezo, Marsa, Cools Roy, Captain Cat Kit, Darkness, and Astronauts makes an appearance in Goemon Mononoke Sugoroku. Beartank also appears as a secret character in Konami Krazy Racers. Music from the game also appears in some of Konami's Bemani games, namely Beatmania GB and Pop n' Music.

Raymond of Sabunde

Raymond of Sabunde (born Ramon Sibiuda; also known as Sabiende, Sabond, Sabonde, Sebon, Sebond, Sebonde, or Sebeyde; c. 1385 – 29 April 1436) was a Catalan scholar, teacher of medicine and philosophy and finally regius professor of theology at Toulouse. He was born in Barcelona (at that time the major Catalan city of the Crown of Aragon), and died in Toulouse.

His Theologia Naturalis sive Liber naturae creaturarum, etc., written 1434–1436 but published in 1484, marks an important stage in the history of natural theology. It was first written in Latin (but not in a strictly classical Latin, since it contained plenty of Catalan-influenced Latin words). His followers composed a more classical Latin version of the work. It was translated into French by Michel de Montaigne (Paris, 1569) and edited in Latin at various times (e.g. Deventer, 1487; Strasburg, 1496; Paris, 1509; Venice, 1581, etc.).

The book was directed against the position then held by some, that reason and faith, philosophy and theology were antithetical and irreconcilable. Raymond declares that the Book of Nature and the Bible are both divine revelations, the one general and immediate, the other specific and mediate. Montaigne (Essays, bk. ii. ch. xii., "Apology for Raymond de Sebonde") tells how he translated the book into French and found "the conceits of the author to be excellent, the contexture of his work well followed, and his project full of pietie ... His drift is bold, and his scope adventurous, for he undertaketh by humane and naturall reasons, to establish and verifie all the articles of Christian religion against Atheists."

Editions
The editio princeps of the book, which found many imitators, is undated but probably belongs to 1484; there are many subsequent editions, one by J. F. von Seidel as late as 1852. In 1595 the Prologus was put on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum for its declaration that the Bible is not the only source of revealed truth.

A Latin edition said to be from 1480 and another from 1488 are available on Archive.org.

Trevor Fitzroy

Trevor Fitzroy is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is usually depicted as an enemy of the X-Men, in particular Bishop. Created by Jim Lee and Whilce Portacio, he first appeared in The Uncanny X-Men #281 (October 1991).

Fitzroy hails from the same dystopian future as Bishop. A mutant criminal, he possesses the ability to absorb energy from human beings and use that energy to open time portals, which is how Bishop traveled to the present. He has since been featured as the main adversary in the series featuring Bishop.

The future
Trevor Fitzroy was revealed to be the illegitimate son of Anthony Shaw, the future Black King of the Hellfire Club, in a dystopian future. He joined the Academy for Xavier's Security Enforcers (XSE) and had a romantic relationship with Shard. However, Fitzroy's criminal tendencies surfaced, resulting in his expulsion from the academy. Initially, his influential father attempted to shield him, but when Fitzroy was apprehended for murder, his father could no longer protect him. Bishop Shard's brother and an XSE officer captured and arrested Fitzroy.

Initially, Fitzroy believed that he possessed the ability to teleport. However, a clandestine faction of XSE agents called the Xavier's Underground Enforcers (XUE) uncovered his true power: the ability to travel through time. The XUE recruited Shard and orchestrated Fitzroy's release, intending to exploit his temporal abilities to alter the past and create a better future. However, Shard, recognizing Fitzroy's inherent danger, intervened and thwarted their plan, resulting in Fitzroy's return to prison.

The Upstarts
From prison, Fitzroy escaped to the present time with his mutant minion Bantam. There, he became involved with a group known as the Upstarts, a competition set up by Selene to eliminate her rivals within the Hellfire Club. Led by the Gamesmaster, the upstarts had to kill other mutants to receive points. The Upstart with the most points would win the prize: control over the Hellfire Club and the other competitors. To enter the competition, one had to kill a member of the Hellfire Club's Inner Circle (though later members did not have to). As part of this "game," Fitzroy unleashed Sentinels on the Reavers and their leader, Donald Pierce. All were killed except Pierce, who escaped and arrived at the Hellfire Club, followed by the Sentinels. The Sentinels killed Pierce (later rebuilt) and then killed most of the Hellions, put their leader, Emma Frost, into a coma, and apparently killed Jean Grey (who had actually switched her mind with Frost). The X-Men, who had been negotiating with Frost, fought Fitzroy. Fitzroy was forced to open a large time portal, allowing prisoners from his own time to escape to the present. The prisoners attacked the X-Men but stopped when three figures stepped through the portal: Bishop and fellow XSE agents Randall and Malcolm. They went after Fitzroy, eventually killing the escaped criminals. However, Malcolm and Randall were killed, and Bishop remained in the present, joining the X-Men.

Fitzroy turned on Selene and captured her, though she later managed to escape. He also brought in Siena Blaze to compete in the Upstart competition. Fitzroy clashed with the X-Men a second time when he tried to kill Forge but managed to escape again. When the Gamesmaster declared that the new target for the Upstart competition would be former members of the New Mutants and Hellions, Fitzroy attacked X-Force, demanding they turn over Rictor and Warpath. In the ensuing confrontation, X-Force leader Cable tricked Fitzroy by disguising his techno-organic arm as wholly organic; when Fitzroy tried to absorb his life energy through the arm, his powers backfired and instead he used his own life energy to open a portal, seemingly killing him.

After the Upstarts
How he survived is left unknown, but Fitzroy eventually reappeared under the thrall of Selene as the White Rook of the Hellfire Club. During this time, he cooperates with Pierce and Shaw, despite his previous attempts to kill them. He leaves the club and travels back to an alternate future (Earth-9910), now calling himself the Chronomancer. He takes control over this new timeline, but Bishop arrives and fights Fitzroy, eventually killing him.

X-Factor
A younger version appears who is a participant in the Summers Rebellion. Here, he is shown to be a good guy. After Cortex kills him during a fight, Layla Miller resurrects him physically but is unable to revive him with a soul, establishing the point at which he becomes a villain.

Return of the Upstarts
Under unknown circumstances, Fitzroy reappeared alive on Earth and once again as a member of the mutant group the Upstarts. He helped kill the Nasty Boys in order to lure out Cyclops and his ragtag team of X-Men to Washington Heights. After a brief moment of silence, the two groups engaged each other in battle. Fitzroy started to drain the life energies from Multiple Man's dupes but was caught off guard by Havok, who fired a concussive blast at Fitzroy, which knocked him off balance. Soon enough, he became overwhelmed as they were outnumbered. Fitzroy fled the scene with Fabian Cortez and Siena Blaze, leaving Shinobi behind as a scapegoat. It was later mentioned that Fitzroy was later detained and killed by O*N*E.

Powers and abilities
Fitzroy possesses the mutant ability to drain the life force of living beings through physical contact. With these energies, Fitzroy can create portals that can teleport those passing through them across time and space, yet the portals are one way; trying to pass through the wrong way results in the traveler having his body fatally and terribly misshapen. He was often dependent on the mutant Bantam to direct and catalog the time-portals he made and confirm when they should expire, lacking the ability to do so himself.

Fitzroy can also use the converted life force he drains to infuse on the dead, which essentially resurrects them; however, due to his nature, this is an ability he rarely uses.

In his early appearances, Fitzroy wears a futuristic battle armor that increases his strength and protects him from opponents. This battle armor was destroyed by the X-Men, and a second suit of armor was destroyed by the X-Force.

Fitzroy also had several Sentinels that obeyed his commands. These Sentinels were smaller than the 20th-century type but had the ability to repair themselves using material in their vicinity.

X-Men '92
Fitzroy appears in the second volume of X-Men '92. As in his original incarnation, he is a member of the Upstarts and hails from Bishop's future timeline. After the threat of Alpha Red (a progenitor of Omega Red released by fellow Upstarts Andrea and Andreas Strucker) is defeated, he and Shinobi Shaw go on an extended pleasure cruise, only to be enlisted in a confederation of villains led by Apocalypse to stand against the title's main villain, X-odus the Forgotten Celestial. Fitzroy last appears alongside his fellow Upstarts, being humorously threatened by X-Force member Deadpool for their role in earlier events.

Television
Fitzroy was a guest star in the two-part episode "One Man's Worth" of the mid-'90s X-Men animated series. Fitzroy, known as "the Mutant Traitor," under the orders of Master Mold, travels back in time to 1959 to murder Charles Xavier, creating an alternate "Days of Future Past" future in which the Sentinels rule and the mutant rebellion never occurred. He turns against Master Mold after his future self reveals that Master Mold betrays him. In the cartoon, he does not kill those whose energy he absorbs but knocks them unconscious for a few days.

Video games

 * Fitzroy was one of the bosses in X-Men: Gamesmaster's Legacy and X-Men: Mojo World.
 * He also appears as the final boss of Wolverine: Adamantium Rage for the Sega Genesis.

Action figures

 * An action figure of Trevor Fitzroy was produced by Toy Biz in 1994 as part of the fourth X-Men wave. He was packaged with four pieces of snap-on crystal battle armor.

Talk:Says You!

Dactyls
I just changed "Dactls" to "Dactyls" - although I have no "printed proof" of this spelling, I can't imagine why they wouldn't be using the correct spelling of the root they are making a joke about. I may return and add a bit more info about the show in time (other games, occasional guest panelists, locations outside of Boston, new amusing names for the house bands, etc.) human 23:41, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, your spelling of Dactyls is correct.

I'm too lazy update this page (sorry) but whoever is doing an update might want to include that Says You! is taped basically nation-wide now, not just in Boston. Also, Says You! is planning on/is now independent. Therefore not being distributed through NPR. Someone may want to check the claim on that before updating the article, but it's something to consider.

It's an awesome show. It really is.

I added the intern of Says You! to the page. He doesn't seem to be going away.

References and Updating
I really want to dig into this article and rewrite it, make it more "up to date" (describe the move from two 30 minute shows/week to one one hour show, mention the ever-changing musical acts, etc.), but I fear there is no way to do so without it being original research. I will have to search the web (at least) for article about the show. otherwise, the only sources we have are the show's website and the OR of being a listener.

Surely the show is notable, the hard part is making that obvious in the article (besides it's being syndicated by NPR), and figuring out a way to describe it better using references. human 19:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

If anyone has time or wants to add in something about the musicians from Says You!, a bunch of past musicians are listed on a somewhat hidden page on the website, at http://www.saysyou.org/secondary/music.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.60.164.64 (talk) 22:26, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

If anyone wants to make the page more up-to-date, we here at "Says You!" are all for it... we just don't have the time to make it happen. As Richard sometimes says, we're overworked and underpaid :-) 24.60.164.64 (talk) 01:58, 19 July 2008 (UTC) Zach Moore

Dear Zach,
 * Please be aware that people directly involved with the show really should not edit the article about the show -- That is the weird Wikipedia way! Whatever suggestions y'all have for improving the article, you might want to put here on the talk page...

-69.87.203.39 (talk) 21:07, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

 * One thing that should be added are the other panelists who appear with varying regularity. I find it odd that the saysyou.net website never mentions them - that Murray guy is on a lot, and once in a while they have Al Dershowitz (?) on. Huw Powell (talk) 22:04, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Almost three years later... the Says You! website is awful. So many guest panelists and panelists who were around for ages are not mentioned, the website seems to be frozen in 1999. Huw Powell (talk) 03:33, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Wow, I swear, eighteen seconds later, I can now see more than the original six at the "who's who" page! Excellent! Huw Powell (talk) 03:41, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Just an FYI to the people updating the Wikipedia page, we are no longer carried through Audible.com and thus do not (currently) offer podcast subscriptions. We are in the process of seeking a new company to distribute a podcast, but until then... we are podcast-less. :( 24.60.160.122 (talk) 17:36, 18 June 2010 (UTC)Zach Moore
 * Thank you very much for telling us that. I've removed that sentence. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:09, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, thank you indeed. Huw Powell (talk) 19:45, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

NPR?
If it "is not an NPR program" (second sentence) why is there a "from NPR" in the logo? This should be clarified. -- 76.204.101.11 (talk) 13:08, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Good point. I've clarified that, based on the show's website indicating that it is carried by NPR but independently produced. --Tryptofish (talk) 17:07, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ordnance Survey/archive1

Ordnance Survey
Partial self-nom, archive from previous submission, comments actioned. --PopUpPirate 23:48, 10 October 2005 (UTC) No mention of William Mudge. how can this be ? Object with sadness. :-( I think this is, overall, a good article, and about a great subject.  I actually think it's pretty close.  But there are a few points I think need fixing:

 * Sorry to say this, but I think you're going to have an issue with the map images. Doing an article on the OS without them is going to be a pain, of course, but the licence looks to me like a "non-commercial" licence as per Copyright FAQ.  A pic of a trig point would be good though...

 * Just found the discussion you've already had on this. If Fair Use applies, and I guess it does, then I think you're OK. — Johantheghost 19:37, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * One solution for this -- & would add to the value of the article immensely -- would be to include parts of older OS survey maps. I believe these maps are all Crown copyright (well, the two I own are), so that those more than 50 years old would be PD. A portion of one of the surveyors' sketches (which are available at some UK public libraries on microfiche/microfilm), & a portion of a pre-1950s map would help illustrate the historical value of these documents, a feature that the British historian W.G. Hoskins often emphasizes in his writings. -- llywrch 17:36, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * "Following a fire at its headquarters at the Tower of London in 1841 ... he saw how photography could be used ..." — needs more fleshing out, it looks like he started using photography in 1841 — isn't that a bit early? Or is it?  Also some info on how he actually used photography would be good.

 * "Mapping Britain" section jumps up to 1969, then we jump back to WW1. Same in the next section, where we have WWII, then 1920.  Maybe re-org a little?

 * "Some of the remaining buildings ... are now used as part of the court complex." What court?  (Clarify.)

 * The multi-layered "See also" is cool, but on reflection, I think this is not the best way to do this — I think using categories would be better, at least for some of this. If I want a list of mapping agencies, for example, it's not logical to look under OS (or to ask all editors who write about mapping agencies to add their one to the OS article).  Ditto with the world's many grid systems.

 * The References aren't linked from the text — should these be called "Further reading"? OTOH, I think you need references which are linked from the text.
 * No, anything that is consulted to write the article should be listed as a reference as has been done here.--nixie 03:33, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * In the reference ' "Official Homepage". Official Homepage ', I think the title needs fixing. :-)

 * Probably "Mapping Britain" and "20th Century" should be sub-sections of a section called "History"...? Likewise, it looks like "UK Map Range" and "OS MasterMap" should be sub-sections of a section called "Products", or something like.

 * My overall impression is that the article is just a little "light". I don't think an article has to cover every aspect of a subject to be FA-worthy, but maybe this one could use just a little more meat?  Kind of hard to put my finger on it, but eg. covering the mapping techniques used throughout the history, and today, in a little more depth would be good.  I guess I would see "Cartography" being more than just a summary of the "National Grid" page, but also covering actual mapping.

Sorry I couldn't actually fix some of the above points, rather than just whinging about them. Cheers... Johantheghost 19:32, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Object, I still notice a number of things that I brought up during the previous nomiation that haven't been addressed.--nixie 03:33, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Object. Poorly written. Let's take apart a few statements at the top.
 * 'Ramsden theodolite'—This appears unexplained in a prominent part of the text, but very few readers will have a clue what it is, and will have to hit the link. The linked article needs work (by the end of the first paragraph of that article, you finally understand that it's an instrument for dividing angular scales with great precision, and that it was a significant step in map-making).
 * Reverse the order of the opening info—'national mapping agency ...' is more obvious than 'executive agency'. Can you use a consistent term for the country? Since you can't use 'the UK' historically, why not keep to just 'Britain' and 'British'.
 * Link the 's in 'Great Britain' to avoid blue/black conflict.
 * 'In addition to producing a wide range of maps of Great Britain, the organisation is also working in over sixty countries worldwide.' Like 'also', 'in addition' should be reserved for where it's really needed. Almost every sentence is 'in addition' to what you've just said. 'is working' is just too vivid for something that has been occurring for quite a while. 'The organisation produces maps of Great Britain, and performs a valuable role in .... in more than (not 'over') 60 countries.' Maybe this needs to be split into two sentences.
 * 'one-third'—why not 'a third'; keep it as plain and simple as possible.

And further down, at random:
 * 'In 1920 O. G. S. Crawford was appointed Archaeology Officer and played a prominent role in developing the use of aerial photography to deepen understanding of archaeology.' The reader is hit with this fascinating idea without preparation or further explanation. No link; nothing about whether this was a first. Who got the brainwave of making this appointment—the Minister? How does it work? Perhaps a couple of sentences might do it; the paragraph is rather short, in any case. // 'OGS Crawford' might look better on the page, and consider delinking the useless simple-year '1920' so that it doesn't jostle with the man's name. Why link simple years at all? No one will hit those links. // Just a few more commas would improve the readability.

Night of the Radishes

The Night of the Radishes (Noche de Rábanos) is an annual event held on December 23 in Oaxaca, Mexico, dedicated to the carving of oversized radishes (Raphanus sativus) to create scenes that compete for prizes in various categories.

The event has its origins in the colonial period when radishes were introduced by the Spanish. Oaxaca has a long wood carving tradition and farmers began carving radishes into figures as a way to attract customers' attention at the Christmas market, which was held in the main square on December 23. In 1897, the city instituted the formal competition. As the city has grown, the government has had to dedicate land to the growing of the radishes used for the event, supervising their growth and distribution to competitors. The event has become very popular, attracting over 100 contestants and thousands of visitors. Since the radishes wilt soon after cutting, the works can only be displayed for a number of hours, which has led to very long lines for those wishing to see them. The event also has displays and competitions for works made with corn husks and dried flowers, which are created with the same themes as those with radishes.

Origins
Native to China, radishes were introduced to Mexico by the Spanish, particularly by the friars. Over time, the crop became used as a side dish or snack, or carved into decorations for special dishes. In the colonial period, the radishes began to be carved with religious themes in relation to the annual Christmas market held in the city of Oaxaca on December 23, with the encouragement of priests. The carvings were a marketing gimmick, with farmers using them to attract the attention of shoppers in the market in the city plaza. Eventually people began buying the radishes not only to eat, but to create centerpieces for Christmas dinners.

The legend as to how the event began says that one year in the mid-18th century, the radish crop was so abundant that a section lay unharvested for months. In December, two friars pulled up some of these forgotten radishes. The sizes and shapes were amusing, and they brought them as curiosities to the Christmas market held on December 23. The misshapen vegetables attracted attention and soon they began to be carved to give them a wider variety of shapes and figures.

In 1897, the mayor of the city, Francisco Vasconcelos, decided to create a formal radish-carving competition, which has been held each year since.

Over the years various types of radishes have been used both in Oaxacan cuisine and for carving. A large completely white type called criollo was used earlier, as it did not rot as readily and adopted more capricious forms. While this variety has since disappeared, an image of them can be seen in a work by Diego Rivera called "Las tentaciones de San Antonio".

Modern competition
The formal Noche de Rábanos competition focuses on the carving of radishes, which can be embellished with other elements. Most entries are scenes that use multiple radishes, with the most traditional being nativity scenes. However, over the 100+ years that the competition has been held, there has been significant diversification in the entries. Common scenes are related to life in Oaxaca such as the Guelaguetza, posadas, calendas (a kind of traditional party), Day of the Dead, Danza de la Pluma, Pineapple Harvest Dance and the Chilena from the Costa Chica, Oaxacan history and folklore as well as the veneration of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Juquila and Our Lady of Solitude, the patron of the state. However, they can also depict other themes such as non-Christmas Biblical stories and can even be in protest. The most common elements are the people, animals, food and handcrafts of the state, but they can also include duendes, snowmen, monsters and more.

Originally the radishes used by competitors were those raised by local farmers, but as the city has grown, taking over land traditionally dedicated to their cultivation, the municipal government has stepped in. It has allocated an area near El Tequio Park to their cultivation, specially grown for the event. They are heavily fertilized, chemically treated and left in the ground long after normal harvests to allow them to reach monumental sizes and capricious shapes, which also makes them unsuitable for human consumption. The resulting vegetables can be up to fifty centimeters in length, ten centimeters or wider and can weigh up to three kilos. In 2014, twelve tons of radishes were harvested for that event alone. Local authorities monitor the harvest and distribute the crop to registered contestants on December 18. The radish currently used has a red skin and a white interior. The use of this radish, which is softer than other varieties, has precipitated a number of strategies different from those used in the past, one being the use of the contrast between the skin and the interior and the other to peel and flatten the red skin for use as clothing items, flags and more. Typically participants use knives and toothpicks to create the sculptures, after the tops of the radishes with their long, green leaves have been cut off (and sometimes used in the scenes). Although the carving of radishes evolved from the area's tradition of wood carving, the current competition does not attract current woodcarvers as the material is very different. The event attracts over 100 participants from the city of Oaxaca and neighboring communities, especially San Antonino Velazco. In 2014, 94 competed in the adult categories, along with 61 youth and 50 children. Contestants register months in advance and from the 18th to the 23rd they must plan and design their scenes, generally using the natural shapes of the radishes they have been allotted as a guide. The actual carving and assembly of the entries occurs during the day of December 23. There are several categories of participation. For adults, radish sculptures and scenes can be in the traditional or "free" category, which is determined by the theme. Works in the traditional category are for depictions of nativity scenes and those of Oaxacan traditions. Those in the free category generally depict more contemporary themes. However, as the function of the event is to preserve tradition, the grand prize of 15,000 pesos is awarded to the winner of the traditional category. In 2014 the grand prize winner was the entry "Dulces Regionales Oaxaqueños" by the Vasquez Lopez family. There are also prizes for participants competing as novices, and a children's category for those aged from six to seventeen to encourage new generations to continue the tradition. Prizes for the children's categories include bicycles and school supplies. The event has also added categories for scenes made not from radishes but instead from dried corn husks (called totomoxtle) and those made with a dried flower called "flor inmortal" (immortal flower) named such as it dries quickly and keeps most of its color. These entries also have several subcategories and generally have similar themes to those done with radishes.

Since the radishes do not keep after they are cut and quickly wilt, the entire event lasts only for a number of hours from the late afternoon to early evening of December 23, with stands set up the morning before around the main square of the city and taken down the morning after. Visitors are permitted to pass by the stands starting in the late afternoon, with judging and the awarding of prizes taking place at about 9 pm, with the radish sculptures removed shortly after that. The event has become popular, attracting thousands of visitors as well as functionaries that can include the state's governor. Despite the creation of a two-line system (the one behind on a raised platform) for visitors to file by the stands, wait times can be as long as 4–5 hours to see the entries.

Acacia craspedocarpa

Acacia craspedocarpa, commonly known as hop mulga or the broad-leaved mulga, is a shrub or tree in the family Fabaceae native to central parts of western Australia.

Description
Hop mulga is a spreading or erect shrubby tree that typically grows to a height of 1.2 to 4 m but can grow as tall as 8 m. It has corky bark, scurfy branchlets with resinous ribs and dark red-brown coloured new shoots. Like most Acacia species, it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. These are thick and bluish green in colour with a length of 1.5 to 2.5 cm and a width of 8 to 12 mm. They have an orbicular to broadly obovate or oblong shape and have a rounded tip usually with three main longitudinal nerves. The simple inflorescences occur singly in the axils with cylindrical clusters that have a length of 12 to 20 mm and a diameter of 5 mm and are packed with yellow coloured flowers. The pods broad and flat seed pods that form after flowering resemble the pods of the hop plant.

Distribution
It is endemic arid to semi-arid areas in the Mid West and western Goldfields regions of Western Australia, it occurs in watercourses, on floodplains, on flats, in low-lying areas and alongside rivers goring in red clay or loamy soils or on alluvium and stony red earth.

Cultivation
The ornamental medium to tall plant is available commercially and grows well drained light to heavy soils in full sun or partial shade and is drought tolerant once it is established. It will also tolerate a light frost to around -8 C It is quite long lived and can grow well in a container.

Derek Mahon

Norman Derek Mahon (23 November 1941 – 1 October 2020) was an Irish poet. He was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland but lived in a number of cities around the world. At his death it was noted that his, "influence in the Irish poetry community, literary world and society at large, and his legacy, is immense". President of Ireland Michael D Higgins said of Mahon; "he shared with his northern peers the capacity to link the classical and the contemporary but he brought also an edge that was unsparing of cruelty and wickedness."

Biography
Derek Mahon was born on 23 November 1941 as the only child of Ulster Protestant working-class parents. His father and grandfather worked at Harland and Wolff while his mother worked at a local flax mill. During his childhood, he claims he was something of a solitary dreamer, comfortable with his own company yet aware of the world around him. Interested in literature from an early age, he attended Skegoneill Primary school and then the Royal Belfast Academical Institution, or "Inst".

At Inst he encountered fellow students who shared his interest in literature and poetry. The school produced a magazine to which Mahon produced some of his early poems. According to the critic Hugh Haughton his early poems were highly fluent and extraordinary for a person so young. His parents could not see the point of poetry, but he set out to prove them wrong after he won his school's Forrest Reid Memorial Prize for the poem 'The power that gives the water breath'.

Mahon pursued third level studies at Trinity College Dublin in French, English, and Philosophy and where he edited Icarus, and formed many friendships with writers such as Michael Longley, Eavan Boland and Brendan Kennelly. He started to mature as a poet. He left Trinity in 1965 to take up studies at the Sorbonne in Paris.

After leaving the Sorbonne in 1966 he worked his way through Canada and the United States. In 1968, while spending a year teaching English at Belfast High School, he published his first collection of poems Night Crossing. He later taught in a school in Dublin and worked in London as a freelance journalist. He lived in Kinsale, County Cork. On 23 March 2007 he was awarded the David Cohen Prize for Literature. He won the Poetry Now Award in 2006 for his collection, Harbour Lights, and again in 2009 for his Life on Earth collection.

At times expressing anti-establishment values, Mahon has described himself as, an 'aesthete' with a penchant 'for left-wingery [...] to which, perhaps naively, I adhere.'

His papers are held at Emory University.

In March 2020, at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, RTÉ News ended its evening broadcast with Mahon reading his poem Everything Is Going to Be All Right.

On 1 October 2020, Mahon died in Cork after a short illness, aged 78.

He is survived by his partner Sarah Iremonger and his three children, Rory, Katy, and Maisie.

Style
Thoroughly educated and with a keen understanding of literary tradition, Mahon came out of the tumult of Northern Ireland with a formal, moderate, even restrained poetic voice. In an era of free verse, Mahon often wrote in received forms, using a broadly applied version of iambic pentameter that, metrically, resembles the "sprung foot" verse of Gerard Manley Hopkins. Some poems rhyme. Even the Irish landscape itself is never all that far from the classical tradition, as in his poem "Achill":
 * Croagh Patrick towers like Naxos over the water
 * And I think of my daughter at work on her difficult art
 * And wish she were with me now between thrush and plover,
 * Wild thyme and sea-thrift, to lift the weight from my heart.

He has also explored the genre of ekphrasis: the poetic reinterpretation of visual art. In that respect he was interested in 17th century Dutch and Flemish art.

Poetry
Mahon features on the Irish Leaving Certificate course with ten of his poems (Grandfather, Day Trip to Donegal, Ecclesiastes, After the Titanic, As It Should Be, A Disused Shed in Co. Wexford, Rathlin, The Chinese Restaurant in Portrush, Kinsale and Antarctica).

Crisis Management Initiative

CMI – Martti Ahtisaari Peace Foundation sr (in 2000–2021 Crisis Management Initiative ry ) is an independent Finnish non-governmental organisation that works to prevent and resolve conflict through informal dialogue and mediation. Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former President of Finland Martti Ahtisaari founded CMI in 2000. CMI has offices in Helsinki and Brussels as well as a presence in selected countries. CMI transformed from an association to a foundation on 1 May 2021.

The foundation's operations are led by an eight-member board, with Marko Ahtisaari serving as the chairman.

Function
CMI states it is focused on contributing to peace processes in four regions: the Middle East and North Africa, Eurasia, Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. CMI states that it facilitates dialogue, mediates between conflicting sides, provides capacity-building and mediation support at all stages of conflict management and peace processes, and supports the broader peace building community. CMI is often approached in conflicts related to which it has regional expertise and contacts. The choice of mediation also depends on the political will of its financial backers to solve a particular conflict. CMI works either directly with the parties of the conflict, or assists another organization like the United Nations or the African Union in their mediating efforts. CMI conducts its mediating work behind the scenes and does not comment on ongoing negotiations. Sometimes even successful negotiations are kept secret.

CMI head offices are in Helsinki. The organization employs 80 staff. , the annual budget of CMI was 7,3 million euros. It receives most of its funding, 55%, from the Finnish state. The European Union and other European countries are significant funders as well. In 2017, it campaigned to raise more than 600,000 euros from about 9,000 private donors as a surprise "birthday present" to Ahtisaari to fund more than 15 extra rounds of mediation talks.

History
Nobel Peace laureate and former President of Finland Martti Ahtisaari founded CMI on 24 August 2000, the same year he became chairman of the International Crisis Group. After stepping down as the President of Finland that year, Ahtisaari declined the post of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees because he wanted to focus instead on addressing the root causes of conflicts. President Ahtisaari's long-term vision with CMI was to contribute as effectively as possible to solving violent conflict throughout the world. The main tasks of the organisation in its early years were to assist Martti Ahtisaari in his numerous international assignments, to participate in policy discussions, and to advocate capacity-building in civilian crisis management.

This led to CMI taking on its own projects, at first concerning crisis management and later on expanding to peace building and conflict resolution. One of CMI's most visible assignments, the Aceh peace process began in late 2004. CMI and its chairman president Ahtisaari were asked to facilitate talks between the government of Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM).

In 2008, President Ahtisaari was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for his important efforts, on several continents and over more than three decades, to resolve international conflicts". In its announcement, the Norwegian Nobel Committee also recognized Ahtisaari and CMI's central role in the Aceh process as well as their work in mediating peace in Iraq in 2008.

CMI has mediated in South Sudan.

In 2014, CMI organized unofficial talks between conflict parties in Ukraine. It also worked for peace in Transnistria.

In 2017, CMI mediated between the government and opposition parties of the Burundian unrest. CMI also facilitated negotiations between Hamas, Fatah and other Palestinian groups. Because Hamas is classified as a terrorist group by many countries, CMI has been criticized for including them in talks. Because of the number of parties involved, it is difficult to assess the individual impact of CMI.

More lately, CMI has worked to increase the role of women in mediation, and been involved in mediation in the Yemeni Civil War.

In 2019, CMI removed all references to its employee and recently elected Member of Parliament of Finland, Hussein al-Taee, following his comparison of the Israel to the Islamic State and representatives of the Simon Wiesenthal Center saying al-Taee's writings were "clearly antisemitic."

Godfrey Cambridge

Godfrey MacArthur Cambridge (February 26, 1933 – November 29, 1976) was an American stand-up comic and actor. Alongside Bill Cosby, Dick Gregory, and Nipsey Russell, he was acclaimed by Time in 1965 as "one of the country's foremost celebrated Negro comedians."

Early life
Cambridge was born in New York City on February 26, 1933, to Alexander and Sarah Cambridge, who were immigrants from British Guiana. His parents, dissatisfied with the New York Public School System, sent him to live with his grandparents in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada, during his primary school years. When he was 13, Cambridge moved back to New York and attended Flushing High School in Flushing, Queens.

In 1949, Cambridge studied medicine at Hofstra College, which he attended for three years before dropping out to pursue a career in acting.

Stage and screen career
While pursuing an acting career, Cambridge supported himself with a variety of jobs, including "cab driver, bead-sorter, ambulance driver, gardener, judo instructor, and clerk for the New York City Housing Authority," as well as cleaning airplanes and making popcorn bunnies.

His first role was as a bartender in the Off-Broadway play Take a Giant Step. In 1961, he received an Obie award for distinguished performance for his role in Jean Genet's The Blacks, in a cast that also included James Earl Jones, Louis Gossett, Cicely Tyson, Maya Angelou and Raymond St. Jacques. He made his Broadway debut in the original production of Herman Wouk's 1957 play Nature's Way. Cambridge received a 1962 Tony Award nomination as part of the original cast of Purlie Victorious, a play written by and starring Ossie Davis; he was featured in an opening-night cast that also included Ruby Dee, Alan Alda, Sorrell Booke, Roger C. Carmel, Helen Martin, and Beah Richards.

Godfrey's memorable film roles include The Last Angry Man (1959), in which he played a character called "Nobody Home", The President's Analyst (1967), where he plays a depressed government agent, and Watermelon Man (1970), in which he played the lead character, a white bigot who one day wakes up and discovers his skin color has turned black. (On one of his comedy LPs, Cambridge ruefully noted he did not get the lead role in King of Kings, calling it "a marketing problem".) He also had a starring role in the 1970 Ossie Davis adaptation of the Chester Himes novel Cotton Comes to Harlem, as well as its 1972 sequel, Come Back, Charleston Blue. Cambridge made an appearance in director Sidney Lumet's Bye Bye Braverman (1968) as a Yiddish speaking NYC cab driver involved in a car collision with the main protagonists, and another as a gay underworld figure in the 1975 film Friday Foster. His other film appearances included roles in The Busy Body (1967), The Biggest Bundle of Them All (1968), The Biscuit Eater (1972), Beware! The Blob (1972), and Whiffs (1975).

He hosted, financed, and produced Dead is Dead (1973), a drug-awareness film. It gave an uncensored look at the downside of drug abuse, showing actual addicts injecting drugs and going through withdrawal.

Cambridge appeared on several network television programs, including Car 54 Where Are You? ("The Curse of the Snitkins"), The Dick Van Dyke Show ("The Man From My Uncle"), I Spy ("Court of the Lion"), The Monkees ("It's a Nice Place to Visit"), and Police Story ("Year of the Dragon"). He also had a small speaking part as a member of Sgt. Bilko's platoon in The Phil Silvers Show, 1957 episode "Boys Town". Cambridge gave an acclaimed performance alongside Tom Bosley in the episode "Make Me Laugh" of Rod Serling's Night Gallery, a story about a failed comedian who looks to a genie for a quick fix to success; the episode was directed by Steven Spielberg. He perhaps reached his largest television audience in a series of comical commercials for Jockey brand underwear.

He later appeared in Jean Genet's The Blacks: A Clown Show, giving a performance that earned him an Obie Award in 1961. Four years later he did a stock version of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

Stand-up comedy
In addition to acting, Cambridge had major success as a stand-up comedian. By 1965 he was earning "as much as $4,000 a week...in all respects a headliner, working the best places, such as San Francisco's Hungry i and Hollywood's Crescendo." He appeared on The Tonight Show and was introduced by his favorite actress Joan Crawford on The Hollywood Palace. His routines were imbued with biting sarcasm and the trenchant topical humor that was common in comedic circles at the time. He was noted for comic lapses from standard American English to African American English.

Personal life
Cambridge, along with writer Maya Angelou and actor Hugh Hurd, organized one of the first benefits for Martin Luther King Jr. held in New York City; according to Angelou, it was held at the Village Gate in the late 1950s and raised $9,000 for King's civil rights movement. (On his 1964 album Ready Or Not, Cambridge joked he was supporting Barry Goldwater, saying that the GOP presidential nominee had "come flat out against slavery...in principle!")

Cambridge married actress Barbara Ann Teer in 1962; the couple divorced three years later. During the 1970s he remained in semi-retirement, making few public appearances and marrying Audriano Meyers in 1972.

Death
Cambridge died of a heart attack on November 29, 1976, at the age of 43, while on the Burbank, California, set of the ABC television movie Victory at Entebbe, in which he was to portray Idi Amin (he was replaced by Julius Harris). Amin commented that Cambridge's death was "punishment from God." He is interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles.

Drygalski Mountains

The Drygalski Mountains are a group of scattered mountains and nunataks lying between the Filchner Mountains and the Kurze Mountains in the Orvin Mountains of Queen Maud Land. They were discovered by the Third German Antarctic Expedition (1938–1939), led by Captain Alfred Ritscher, and named for Professor Erich von Drygalski, the leader of the First German Antarctica Expedition of 1901–03. They were remapped from air photos and survey by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60.

The highest peak is Ulvetanna Peak at 2930 m.

Talk:Delaware Wedge

So, which state currently owns it?
Seems this simple fact should be at the top of the article, but isn't! 78.146.87.48 (talk) 09:13, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

 * The top of the article says it's Delaware. Tedickey (talk) 11:32, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Unclear text
The sentence before the last one is broken. I don't see what was meant.

In 1892, W.C. Hodgkins of the Office of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey monument and eastward extension of the Maryland-Pennsylvania border, and created the "Top of The Wedge Line."Tinus 23:53, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Fixed. — Eoghanacht  talk 13:13, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

The map
I'm just looking at the map given on the page and it looks as though there is no wedge: the Twelve-Mile Circle just ends in a "horizontal" boundary with Pennsylvania. Is the map off or something? ZanderSchubert 04:18, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Which map are you refering to? The general map shows current state boundaries.  The detailed diagram shows the various "lines" that make up the wedge. —  Eoghanacht  talk 18:13, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

 * After a reread, I get the map now. *slaps forehead* Sorry for wasting time...ZanderSchubert

What's in the Wedge?
Seems like this should be covered.

 * I live near there and can't think of anything of note. Just houses and subdivisions along back roads. 71.126.112.34 02:33, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Actually, deep below the surface of the wedge is an arcane Orb of Secrets, previously crafted by the most powerful Iroquois sorcerers in history, but then buried that its terrible power might never be abused. Whosoever possesses the orb becomes immortal and all-powerful.

 * So you can see why Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland fought so much over it. --71.20.138.102 (talk) 18:50, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Boundry specifics
As a map geek and a local history geek with my roots in Pennsylvania, this article fascinates me. There is one thing related to this article, and boundaries in general, I'd like to see discussed. The southern boundary of PA is shown on a map as being the line of lattitude at 39 degree 43 minutes--but if you look at a topographical quadrangle map the numbered stones of the Mason-Dixon survey describe a very slightly--but obviously--zig-zag line. Likewise, I seem to recall that the 12-mile-circle arc on the topo quads is not a perfect circle but rather based on the points from an old and difficult survey. So which are the actual boundaries: the ideal lines described on paper or the lines marked by stones and pins and what not that were actually surveyed? The same applies to Wyoming and Colorado. At least one of the two is described as rectangular in their wikipedia article, but a look at the topo quads shows even more obvious deviations. PurpleChez (talk) 16:42, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

B Class?
How can this be a "B" class article - it does not have a single cited reference? – ukexpat (talk) 04:05, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Comma problem
History, second paragraph: "Although the Calverts publicly stated that they wanted the settlements removed, because of the foreign policy implications for the Crown, they did not personally confront them militarily."

because of the foreign policy implications for the Crown is completely separated by the commas, so it's unclear what that statement is for. Are the implications the reason why the Calverts wanted the settlements removed, or are the implications the reason why the settlements weren't militarily confronted? One of those commas needs to be removed. —Onore Baka Sama(speak 20:40, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
