6over4

6over4 is an IPv6 transition mechanism meant to transmit IPv6 packets between dual-stack nodes on top of a multicast-enabled IPv4 network. IPv4 is used as a virtual data link layer (virtual Ethernet) on which IPv6 can be run.

How 6over4 works
6over4 defines a trivial method for generating a link-local IPv6 address from an IPv4 address, and a mechanism to perform Neighbor Discovery on top of IPv4.

Link-local address generation
Any host wishing to participate in 6over4 over a given IPv4 network can set up a virtual IPv6 network interface. The link-local address is determined as follows :
 * it starts with, or   for short,
 * the lower-order 32 bits to the binary value must be that of the IPv4 address of the host.

For example, host  would use   as its link-local IPv6 address (  is   in hexadecimal notation). A shortened notation would be.

Multicast Address Mapping
To perform ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery, multicast must be used. Any IPv6 multicast packet gets encapsulated in an IPv4 multicast packet with destination, where   and   are the penultimate and last bytes of the IPv6 multicast address respectively.

Examples
All-Nodes Multicast (ff02::1) -

All-Routers Multicast (ff02::2) -

Solicited Node Multicast for fe80::c000:028e (the link-local address of 192.0.2.142) -

Neighbor Discovery
Given a link-local address and a multicast addresses mapping, a host can use ICMPv6 to discover its on-link neighbors and routers, and usually perform stateless autoconfiguration, as it would do on top of, e.g. Ethernet.

Limit of 6over4
6over4 relies on IPv4 multicast availability which is not very widely supported by IPv4 networking infrastructure. 6over4 is of limited practical use, and is not supported by the most common operating systems. To connect IPv6 hosts on different physical links, IPv4 multicast routing must be enabled on the routers connecting the links.

ISATAP is a more complex alternative to 6over4 which does not rely on IPv4 multicast.

Citation needed at the end of the first sentence of the "Second Series" section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.208.245.73 (talk) 21:30, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

POFV
"The series features two other central characters, siblings Dan (Julian Barratt) and Claire Ashcroft. Dan – an instantly recognisable Brooker point-of-reference – dislikes everything Nathan Barley stands for, while Claire seeks to highlight the plight of the inner city's homeless and drug-dependent. Ironically, while Dan sees a clear distinction between himself and the "idiots", he's frequently forced to compromise his own ethics in order to earn a living, and seems to be fighting the dawning realisation that he may actually be the very thing he despises. At the same time, Claire, who clearly wants to see herself as socially responsible and philanthropic, ultimately only seeks to further her own career. This sets the scene for an unusually open-ended, and certainly introspective, satire-bordering-on-social-commentary."

Re: Removing Redpath Dino Image Hello there -- and welcome to Wikipedia.

Just wanted to let you know that it is perfectly alright with me to replace my dino image from the Redpath Museum with the more representative pictures you have. My shots were taken a couple of years ago on my last trip to your city, and was not thinking of Wikipedia when I took the shots. Basically I saw the original article and realized I had photos of its interior, with the dino head shot arguably being the best. I have no problems with it being replaced by something better/more representative -- that's arguably what Wikipedia is all about.

The only thing I would suggest would be to try not to take pics that are shot more or less directly into the sun. My guess is that if you took shots of the exterior and interior galleries of the building from the same vantage point you took the pictures you posted on a morning would result in better overall pics. But what you have there now is certainly more representative than mine.

John Belchier

John Belchier (1706 – 6 February 1785) was a British surgeon at Guy's Hospital from 1736 to 1768. He discovered at about the time of his Guy's appointment that the vegetable dye madder stained newly forming bone tissue, opening up the study of the growth and development of the skeleton, which was taken forward by Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau and John Hunter.

Belchier was awarded the Copley Medal by the Royal Society in 1737. He was a founding governor for the Foundling Hospital, a charity created by Royal Charter in 1739, and was a member of the Court of Assistants at the Company of Surgeons from 1751 to 1785.

Mr Karate

Mr Karate (مستر كراتيه) is an Egyptian sports drama film directed by Mohamed Khan and released in 1993, stars Ahmad Zaki as an originally naive out of towner who is brought down by the hardships of life in Cairo. Broke and unemployed, Zaki's character gets a stint as a garage worker before graduating to the more lucrative, albeit less dignified, profession of illicit parking helper (monadi). After an acquaintance with a local retired karate instructor (played by Ibrahim Nasr), Zaki's character is introduced to the world of martial arts through watching a series of old Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movies which, at first, are picked out by his new friend (Nasr's character) but which he then picks out himself from a nearby video rental store where his love interest in the movie works (played by Nahla Salama). What starts as a childish fascination, becomes with the help of Nasr, a new awakening for Zaki's character, who develops a resolve to become defenseless no more and trains in art of karate.

In one of his last interviews (if not his last) before his untimely death in March 2005, Ahmad Zaki said the only thing he regretted about Mr Karate was its title. He said it was misleading because it led many moviegoers and critics to believe it was a lighthearted martial arts spoof, when, in fact, it was about the troubles of a simple man trying to survive the vast city that is Cairo, Egypt. In the interview, Zaki said he had hoped for the movie to be called Cairo '90.

Soon, Zaki realizes that his newfound karate abilities allows him to help out distressed members in his community, which captures the attention of a local tycoon (who in the film remains obscure and whose exact profession - whether he is a businessman, member of parliament or even a minister - is left to the viewers' imagination). At the time of its release, the film received mixed reviews, but it did solidify Zaki as an icon and spokesperson for the average Egyptian youth. It also allowed him to pursue more action-packed movies during the mid-and late-1990s.

Cast

 * Ahmed Zaki as Salah
 * Ibrahim Nasr
 * Nahla Salama
 * Zouzou Nabil

Reception
Mr. Karate received mixed reviews. Andeel, from Mada Masr, found it as, "an amazing mixture of cultures and references [that] cooperate to produce the joy you receive watching it", and, as he enjoys Tarantino movies, "an earlier experiment in the same field". It is speculated that the misleading title for the film, which suggests that it is just a movie about martial arts, led to the lower ratings from reviewers.

Talk:K-d tree

Opening heading
I believe the explanations on the animation are incorrect. The search is not always "first left then right". Instead, the component of the search vector that corresponds to the split dimension at the current node is compared to that stored in the node. This decides the direction of the search (either left of right). 85.23.56.103 (talk) 14:12, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

AFAIK the "canonical" method of constructing the tree is not to simply cycle through dimensions. In all papers I have seen the split dimension is selected by measuring the variance of feature values. 85.23.56.103 (talk) 08:34, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) Its left or right in tree space, not real-space. This tree space would correspond to the "upper" and "lower" sides of the split plane, if you prefer. 2) you can select by variance, but this makes your traversal algorithms slower, as you cannot simply compute the axis from the tree depth -- you have to retrieve it as it may be altered. Its also slower to construct because you have to check the variance. However, the search may be slightly faster due to "zeroing in" on the target quicker, IFF your data has strong spatial correlations. This is OR, and would also be a needless complication of the algorithm presentation. 129.67.86.189 (talk) 20:28, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Left and right is absolutely in tree space and thus arbitrary. While finding the variance or range does make building the tree slower the entire benefit of a KD tree structure is that you build it up front and then reference it repeatedly. In practical terms this means that it is almost always a better idea to split along the axis of greatest variance/range than to hurt search performance (because additional useless splits really hurt search performance). I've written several algorithms based on KD-trees and have seen that there are also some provable positive aspects to splitting on the axis of greatest range in terms of how many traversals a nearest neighbor will be away in the tree. Any time you have data that is not evenly distributed you get a significant boost by splitting intelligently. Adam McCormick (talk) 05:32, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

nearest neighbour search complexity
The article states n^(1-1/k) as the complexity for nearest neighbour search.

The reference cited - "Worst-case analysis for region and partial region searches in multidimensional binary search trees and balanced quad trees" - does not refer at all to NN search (only to range searches).

Further - the Moore article (referenced at the external links) - seems to state that there is no non-trivial bound, but that the average case is O(log n) - for any constant dimension.

Is this just plain wrong? or am I missing something? 79.180.7.128 (talk) 22:11, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

 * This is precisely what I thought. I think this complexity claim is wrong, for single nearest neighbour search at least (and certainly not backed up by that reference).
 * In fact I think that there is an algorithm for single nearest neighbour search which is proved to be O(log n) for a fixed number of dimensions, given in this paper:
 * "An Algorithm for Finding Best Matches in Logarithmic Expected Time"
 * H Friedman, J Bentley & A Finkel (1977)
 * http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/355744.355745

 * I will edit the article accordingly, please comment if you object or I have misunderstood.

 * The mentioned paper appears to just talk about an expected time complexity. Jaspervdg (talk) 14:54, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
 * In reality you need to check for extra node's to be sure that the nearest possible.
 * The average case can't be O(log n) because of that.
 * It's O(log n) for the best case to O(N) for the worse one. 185.144.27.53 (talk) 07:45, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

k-d tree for space-consuming objects
Articles suggests that a k-d tree can be used to store space-consuming objects (e.g. rectangles, in 2 dimensions) but only specifies how this affects the range search algorithm. It would be useful to expand this to cover other algorithms (especially construction, but nearest-neighbour would probably be useful, too). JulesH (talk) 14:04, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

The article does not specify *how* to add volumes to a kd-tree: it just says, "the tree is constructed the usual way with all the rectangles at the leaves". Could someone provide enough detail to allow someone to implement range search over volumes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.220.176.20 (talk) 06:12, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Error in pseudocode for tree construction?
The pseudocode for the tree construction is missing the trivial case (I assume, where there are no points, or one point). Something like "if more than one point then ..." around creating the subtrees? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.159.132.225 (talk) 05:58, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Construction
I find the description of the construction algorithm a bit confusing.

Splitting an array into subarrays - testing against the "x-coordinate", I assume the intent is to test against the current splitting dimension.

Since the array is already sorted, there's no need to "consider each element of the array" and test x-coordinate against the splitting plane. Instead, just find the median as described later?

The section addressing re-using the arrays, and building the subarrays from k-1 into the k-2 array does not specify whether to do all of this for every depth level, or part of it for every dimensional increase.

In the end it says: "Hence, building the entire k-d tree requires less than O([k-1]n log n) time, which is less than the O(kn log n) time that is required to sort the n points in k dimensions prior to building the k-d tree." But the whole premise on which the text describes the algorithm is that the all the k arrays are sorted according to its dimension before building the kd tree, and all the preceding text assumes that they are, so this last sentence does not seem to make any sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waperboy (talk • contribs) 13:49, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Worse than that is false claim that O([k-1]n log n) is less than O(kn log n); these are the same; see Big O notation. I think it just means that the total complexity is still O(kn log n), since each of the two major steps is O(kn log n). But I haven't checked it carefully.  A source would be nice for this.  I don't see what the factor of [k-1] is from in "This tree-building algorithm requires at most O([k-1]n) tests of coordinates against splitting planes to build each of the log n levels of a balanced k-d tree. "  Dicklyon (talk) 01:28, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Here is how to build a k-d tree in O((k-1) n log n) time. Let's consider the case of (x,y,z) points. First, sort the points separately in x, y and z using 3 O(n log n) sorts such as heapsort. Store the result of each sort as an array of indices into the array of (x,y,z) points. For the first subdivision, pick the median of the x-index array to be the partition. Subdividing the x-index array is trivial because all elements below the median form the left (lower) sub-array and the elements above the median form the right (upper) sub-array. Subdividing the y- and z-index arrays is a little more involved. Let's take subdivision of the y-index array as an example. We need a temporary index array; call it the w-index array. The idea is to sweep upward through the y-index array and compare the x-coordinate of each (x,y,z) point to the x-median. For those points whose x-coordinate < x-median, copy those points into the w-index array, beginning with the lowest address of the w-index array and proceeding upward through those addresses. For those points wholse x-coordinate > x-median, copy those points into the w-index array, beginning with the address immediately above the x-index of the x-median and proceeding upward through those addresses. After each y-index has been visited via this lower-to-upper index sweep, the w-index array contains two sets of y-indices wherein each set contains increasing y-values (or rather, indices to (x,y,z) points of increasing y-values): the lower set has x-coordinates that are all less than the x-median and the upper set has x-coordinates that are all greater than the x-median. This sweep has thus partitioned the points about the x-median while preserving the y-sort. Now the y-index array can be used to copy z-indices in the same manner that the w-index array was used to copy y-indices. And now one level of the k-d tree has been built. So, you always need 1 more index array than you have coordinates. I call this algorithm a "sweep and partition" algorithm. To build the entire k-d tree requires that O(log n) sweeps be performed. Each sweep involves copying n indices for each of (k -1) dimensions. Hence, the initial sort requires O(k n log n) time and building the tree thereafter requires O( (k-1) n log n) time. I have a Java program that builds a balanced k-d tree and handles all of the "corner" cases such as only 1 point, only 2 points, etc. at each level of subdivision. I can contribute that Java code to Wikipedia if someone can show me where to upload it. I sent Dick Lyon an email. Perhaps I could send it to that email address? Kirigiri (talk) 03:22, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Rather than code, what would be most useful would be a reference to a published source. And maybe an indication of what you would put (k-1) instead of k in a big-O notation.  Dicklyon (talk) 03:35, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

The factor of (k-1) arises because, at each level of the tree, 1 of the k coordinates is trivially subdivided by simply taking the median of a pre-sorted array as the partition value, but the remaining (k-1) coordinates must be copied from one array to another array to implement the "sweep and partition" algorithm. Hence, for n points and k coordinates, each level of the tree requires (k-1)n copy operations. And because the tree is (log n) deep, the time required to build the tree is O( (k-1) n log n). As far as I know, there is no publication that discusses it. I learned that this algorithm was possible by stumbling upon a homework assignment from a CS course at Western Washington University (I think) about 15 years ago. The assignment said, "First sort the points in x, y and z then build the balanced tree." Because I had previously built k-d trees by resorting at each level of subdivision, which requires O(n (log n)^2) time assuming an O(n log n) sort at each level of subdivision, I was intrigued by the stated order of sorting before building. It didn't take long for me to implement the algorithm. However, I have never seen it published. Dick, I see that you know Ivan Sutherland. Ask him for my Yahoo email address and write to me there. I'll send you the code and after you study it, you'll see how the algorithm works. I'm Russ Brown. 71.198.6.170 (talk) 05:22, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Griffith
Regarding the lack of Southern Cross Ten in Griffith, it has nothing to do with Southern Cross Ten. It has everything to do with the federal Government's ACMA. If ACMA issued another commercial TV licence for the Griffith/MIA area, it would almost certainly result in a full-time Ten service becoming available there. Lobby Canberra, not Southern Cross Broadcasting. matturn 12:23, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Changes
Over the last 24 hours or so all the non-network related history has been split off into stations' relevant articles - this makes it a bit easier to follow the history of the actual network itself.

I've also made a few changes to the Availability section - just altering the wording of the first paragraph to make it a little clearer and moving the second over to an unordered list (it's more appropriate and it reads slightly better).

What I plan to do now is try and expand the history section again and find some references for it. timgraham 10:06, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Good work TimG! the article looks good :). I have removed BCV, as this station call-sign does no longer exist; upon aggregation BCV became GLV. The history section however, needs to be greatly expanded, as at current the article is only 10kb long. Stickeylabel 10:33, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The history section contains all the detail I could find at the time, I'll keep digging later..BCV is actually still in use as well (a search at lists 24 instances). timgraham 10:37, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Your right about BCV :P . I have therefore moved GLV (TV station) to GLV/BCV, where an article about both of the similar stations can be discussed. Stickeylabel 10:52, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Article name upon affiliation switch
It was announced on 29 April 2016 that Southern Cross will switch its primary affiliation from Network Ten to the Nine Network (note that this does not affect remote Seven affiliate Southern Cross Television). Despite the fact that Southern Cross will not create unique branding once they switch affiliation, I believe that the article should still be renamed Southern Cross Nine (SC9) on 1 July 2016 as this article is still separate from Southern Cross TV and SC9 is the best name to be used in this scenario (unless a different business name is created to refer to the network). Thoughts? – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 05:19, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Requested move 5 July 2016

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved per nom, as unopposed. Having come to close this RM, I opened a few web links, and their branding left me in a dazed & confused state, and the article contents did not help clearing it. Since seems to have a grasp about that (I don't want to know), I'm performing this move solely on AGF, and trust them that they will edit the article accordingly, and, if possible, clear up how switching of the branding came about. No such user (talk) 13:24, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Southern Cross Nine → Southern Cross Ten – SCA itself actually don't call its Nine-affiliated stations "Southern Cross Nine" at all. Also, the remaining Ten affiliate in Northern NSW have dropped "Southern Cross Ten" name in favour of generic Ten branding. A page from SCA tells it. So, this article should be moved back to Southern Cross Ten, and the lead should be rewritten like below:

"Southern Cross Ten is a name previously used by an Australian network of regional television stations owned by Southern Cross Austereo that affiliated to the metropolitan Network Ten. Since 1 July 2016, the stations that have switched affiliation to Nine Network, as well as the remaining Ten affiliates, all follow generic metropolitan network branding, thus leaving the stations without unique network branding. The network of SCA television stations not affiliated to Seven Network is broadcast in Queensland, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and South Australia. On 5 November 2007, the network was officially purchased by the Macquarie Media Group."

By the way, how these stations actually brand themselves since 1 July 2016?
 * Mount Gambier and Riverland, SA (WIN mono.): SES/RTS (Seven), SDS/RDS (Nine), MGS/LRS (Ten)
 * Spencer Gulf, SA and Broken Hill, NSW (SC mono.): GDS/BDN (Nine), SGS/SCN (Ten)
 * Griffith and MIA, NSW (WIN mono.): MTN (Seven), MDN (Nine), AMN (Ten) (Edit 15:47, 7 July 2016 (UTC)) --Relisting.   Anarchyte  ( work  |  talk )   11:10, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Concerning page move to "Southern Cross Ten"
This page was reverted to Southern Cross Nine over the poorly constructed case for moving it back to "Southern Cross Ten". Upon the 2016 media shakeup, all Southern Cross stations that were affiliated to Network Ten (except for Northern NSW and South Australia) changed affiliation to the Nine Network and took on generic Nine branding. Consequently, the page was moved to "Southern Cross Nine" to reflect this change despite the fact that the stations are not identified as such; this name was selected as it is only relevant name to be assigned as the bulk of the stations are now affiliated with the Nine Network. The Southern Cross Ten brand has ceased to exist, as has been noted in the article, however, keeping the article as "Southern Cross Ten" does not permit for further updates to the stations now affiliated with the Nine Network.

The stations remain operated by an affiliate as a regional network, only if a company merge between regional and metropolitan networks occurs should such regional network articles cease to be relevant. Until such a time, they remain equivalent to their metropolitan counterparts and thus need their own separate and relevant articles. Further discussion can be made below. – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 12:55, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Use of Nine Network logo in the infobox
To clear up any potential confusion among editors as to why the Nine Network logo is not permitted for use in this article, let me present my case here so that any future editors can see this and understand the situation.

Back in February 2016, I was notified about the use of the logo of Network Ten in the articles Network Ten, Ten Network Holdings and articles of Ten's metropolitan stations. Such usage failed Wikipedia's guidelines of unacceptable use of non-free content, specifically §17: "The logo of an entity used for identification of one of its child entities, when the child entity lacks their own branding. Specific child entity logos remain acceptable." This means that the article of a child entity or subsidiary cannot use the logo of its parent organisation if it does not have its own logo. Even though Southern Cross and the Nine Network are not the same company, this restriction still applies (recognising SC as the "child entity" and Nine Network as the "parent entity") and consequently, the Nine Network logo cannot be used in this article.

The complete original discussion concerning the Network Ten logo can be found  for further clarification.

Hopefully this clears up any confusion, if there are still any questions, please post them here. Regards. – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 09:39, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Requested move 12 June 2018

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

 * 1st request: moved to the proposer's later suggested title, Nine (Southern Cross Austereo). See source evidence for this move as COMMONNAME rather than the title proposed initially.
 * 2nd request: not moved. Opposition argument is strong so, since the name is expected to change in July, there is no prejudice to revisit this request when reliable secondary sources support the new title as the COMMONNAME. Have a Great Day and Happy Publishing! (nac by page mover)  Paine Ellsworth   put'r there  00:02, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

– On 1 July 2018, the Seven Network-affiliated television stations owned by Southern Cross Austereo (Tasmania, Spencer Gulf/Broken Hill, Central, Darwin) will lose their "Southern Cross" branding to adopt network branding as "Seven". When their main Ten Network-affiliated stations changed to Nine Network affiliation, the "Southern Cross Ten" article was renamed to "Southern Cross Nine" as at the time there was no better name for the article given that what little "Southern Cross" branding left was dropped in place of full network branding. With the Seven stations approaching this move, I think now is the time to discuss moving both articles to more appropriate names.
 * Southern Cross Nine → Nine Regional
 * Southern Cross Television → Seven Regional (Southern Cross Austereo)

For the Nine affiliate stations, I propose Nine Regional, similar to the official department of Nine News Regional for network-produced local news bulletins on the affiliate stations. I don't believe that there should be disambiguation in the title as Southern Cross is the primary Nine affiliate in Australia (the only others are single, unconnected stations in smaller markets). The naming also follows the convention for individual stations, which are colloquially referred to as "Nine [location name]" for both network-owned and affiliate stations (i.e. Nine Victoria), but applies it for the affiliate stations as a whole.

For the Seven affiliate stations and following the above proposal, I propose Seven Regional (Southern Cross Austereo). In addition to the notes above, I believe that there should be disambiguation for the Seven affiliate stations as Southern Cross is not the only Seven affiliate, Prime Media Group (owners of Prime7 and GWN7) is the main Seven affiliate in QLD/NSW/VIC/WA. The disambiguation will aim to avoid confusion between Southern Cross' Seven Regional stations and Prime Media's Seven Regional stations. Note: the name change for the Seven affiliate station will only come into effect on 1 July 2018 when the branding officially changes. – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 02:02, 12 June 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. –Ammarpad (talk) 17:00, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose doing anything at this time per WP:OFFICIAL, WP:COMMONNAME, and especially WP:CRYSTAL. According to the article titling policy, Wikipedia does not help establish new titles before changes take place. Even after the changes do take place, it will likely take a while for coverage in reliable, secondary sources to show enough support to warrant changing the titles of these articles. Dekimasu よ! 01:06, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * This move discussion is primarily focused on the Nine affiliate network, which was so named back in July 2016 when they started broadcasting Nine Network content. This element does not break WP:CRYSTAL as this network of stations has been established for near two years, nor does it break WP:COMMONNAME as the Nine affiliate stations are typically referred to on-screen as "Nine" or also in print as "Nine Regional". If discussion on renaming the Seven stations is breaking these policies, it can surely be removed from this discussion. – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 07:11, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * As far as Southern Cross Nine is concerned, Nine Regional may be appropriate if there is evidence that it is the common name in reliable secondary sources, but please present that evidence. Dekimasu よ! 00:48, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The majority of sources cite the name simply as "Nine" for consistent branding with their network affiliate. Such sources include the regional affiliate coverage map, the SCA online television guide, the original affiliation website (now defunct, viewed on the Wayback Machine). Individual stations are also referred to as "Nine [location]" (i.e. "Nine Adelaide") primarily in electronic program guides on television sets but also in-speech. Including these, and the name of the Nine News Regional department, was the origin of the proposed name Nine Regional as there is no cohesive name to fully separate the network from its affiliate-owned stations. Another candidate could be Nine (Southern Cross Austereo), but that lessens natural disambiguation. – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 03:15, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Parenthetical disambiguation seems preferable in this case, if Nine Regional is not very common. Dekimasu よ! 03:00, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

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

Blue Comet SPT Layzner

Blue Comet SPT Layzner (蒼き流星SPTレイズナー), sometimes translated as Blue Meteor SPT Layzner is a science fiction anime series produced by Sunrise between 1985 and 1986. It was originally written by Tsunehisa Itō with Ryōsuke Takahashi as series' director.

The series focuses on an alien invasion and subsequent totalitarian world occupation and resistance in a timeline where the Cold War continues.

Premise
The story takes place in the year 1996, where humanity is advanced enough to develop long-range space travel, as well as bases on both the Moon and Mars. However, Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union have not ended; rather, they have escalated as both sides continue to militarize space, and the shadow of nuclear conflict looms over humanity both on and off Earth.

Meanwhile, on Mars, an exchange program created by the United Nations to promote peace and understanding is about to begin; the "Cosmic Culture Club"—consisting of 16 members, as well as their instructor Elizabeth—arrives at the UN Mars base, and are being welcomed by the staff. Among the passengers is Anna—a 14-year-old girl who serves as the narrator for the story.

Suddenly, four unidentified humanoid robots classified as Super-Powered Tracers are detected, engaged in fierce combat with each other. The UN base is captured in the crossfire and quickly destroyed, eliminating all but six members of the "Cosmic Culture Club"—Elizabeth, Arthur, Roan, David, Simone, and Anna, leaving them stranded on the barren planet that has suddenly become a battlefield. As the battle ends, the lone SPT standing lands next to the terrified group and opens up revealing a pilot, who simply announces to them, "The Earth has been targeted".

The robots who destroyed the UN base were the creation of the Grados, an alien race, from the Udoria system, who came to the Sol system for conquest, seeing an easy victory as the two superpowers raged against each other to exhaustion—however, this could also be described as an act of pre-emptive self-defense; the Gradosian supercomputers have determined that humanity will eventually cease its in-fighting and become powerful enough to spread through the galaxy, feigning a deadly threat to even the far off Grados.

However, there were two Grados opposed to the plan: human astronaut Ken Asuka, assumed lost during a deep space mission but discovered by the Grados, and his son Null Albatro (his "human" name being Eiji). As the Grados prepared their invasion fleet, Eiji stows away on board one of the ships and steals their most powerful and advanced weapon, the SPT-LZ-00X Layzner before fleeing, seeking to warn humanity of its impending invasion. It was here where he was attacked. Aside from the Layzner, the surviving humans have now become very important to the Grados; as the only human passersby to the aliens and their power, the six are the only ones who can convince each belligerent power to stand down from destroying one another, and focus on the greater threat.

Cast

 * Albatro Null Eiji Asuka (アルバトロ・ナル・エイジ・アスカ) (Kazuhiko Inoue): Eiji is a hybrid with a human astronaut for a father and a Gradosian noblewoman for a mother. He grew up as a low-ranking Gradosian SPT pilot on the Empire's homeworld. A pacifist by nature, he still decides to take a more direct hand when he learns of the invasion of Earth. Unfortunately, he is torn between his beliefs and his loyalties towards the comrades of his homeworld, many of whom he considers to be his kindred. This forces Eiji to go to extreme lengths to not kill his opponents, an ideal made vastly difficult by the amoral AI aboard the Layzner.
 * Anna Stephanie (Hiroko Emori): The youngest member of the Cosmic Culture Club at age 14, she is a quiet and reserved girl who is highly intuitive and empathetic, allowing her to see the good nature inside of all people. This allows her to be the first to befriend and trust Eiji in spite of his Gradosian heritage.
 * David Rutherford (Hideyuki Umezu): The American member of the CCC, David is reckless, emotional, and headstrong: making him a very hot-blooded 17-year-old. However, this also makes him unable to deal with loss and fear. At first, had an intense hatred and distrust of Eiji stemming from the fact that he blamed the rebel for the death of his best friend Juno during Grados' initial raid on the CCC. Eventually he 'warms up' to Eiji through many trials and trusts him enough to become his wingman with the SPT-BB-02U Babel.
 * Roanne Demitrich (Katsumi Toriumi): Aged 15 years and a native of Switzerland, Roanne is a genius and is by far the most mature member of the group: often displaying calm, observant level-headedness usually attributed to people well beyond his years. Usually the strategist of the CCC, he was found constantly evaluating the situations they found themselves in determining the best possible solutions from whatever options they had. The best friend of Arthur Cummings Jr., his intelligent maturity quickly endeared him to Eiji as well. Also eventually acted as Eiji's second wingman with the SPT-BD-03U Baldy.
 * Simone Reflann (Fumi Hirano): At 16, Simone is the daughter of aristocracy being born of wealthy French and English parents. Initially appearing to be stubborn, cynical, and selfish she was at first opposed to engaging in guerrilla warfare against the Gradosian Empire. However, she eventually developed romantic feelings for Eiji and these allowed her to assist the rest of the CCC against Grados.
 * Arthur Cummings Jr. (Yuji Shikamata): Tied with David at 17 to be the oldest surviving member of the CCC, Arthur was well-liked among the CCC and a chief confidant of Roanne despite his tendencies of weakness, cowardice, and a weak will that made him prone to emotional outbursts and ramblings. Since he harbors a deep crush on Simone she uses this to her advantage in order to get him to do whatever he wants, exploiting his "eager to please" nature.
 * Dr. Elizabeth Clabery (Keiko Toda): The 24-year-old adult instructor and mentor of the Cosmic Culture Club, her controlled level-headedness allowed her to calm the frightened children during the first attack of the Super-Powered Tracers. Her main goal was to help Eiji and the surviving CCC members escape to the Earth in an attempt to warn its major superpowers about the impending Gradosian invasion.
 * Mill Julia Asuka Albatro (Mari Yokoo): The older sister of Eiji, she was engaged to his best friend Gale, and the two were to wed in a matter of months. Julia refused to listen to her parents' pleas to help Earth and ran away from her family's home to live with Gale.
 * Le Caine (Kaneto Shiozawa): Admiral Gresco's son, introduced in the second arc, Eiji's rival, and the main villain of the series. Appointed to Supreme Commander of Earth, he is ruthless and arrogant, believing in the ethnic superiority of the Gradosians. Although he tries to execute Julia for treason, he finds himself unable as he is strangely attracted to her spiritual force. He is determined to rule Earth and crush all resistance, but refuses to fight unfairly since he considers himself nobility.
 * 'Rei' (Eriko Hara): The AI aboard the SPT-LZ-00X Layzner, its intelligence was so advanced that it developed an actual personality of its own which was nicknamed "Rei" by Eiji. Despite having feminine characteristics and the nature of a sweet child, Rei had no notion of morality and would usually recommend destroying the cockpit of an enemy SPT-instantly killing its pilot-rather than disabling its limbs as she believes that this is the most effective way to defeat an enemy. Often, she would seize controls of the Layzner herself in order to protect Eiji and the SPT from damage.
 * Gosterro (Masashi Hirose): A senior officer and ace pilot of the Gradosian militia who considered himself a rival of both Eiji & Gale. Once having romantic interests in Julia, she immediately rebuffed him. A sadistic psychopath, Gosterro delights in killing to the extent where his lust for blood overpowers all needs and reason, forcing him to take the lives of his own wingmen. Deeply wishing to kill Eiji, he personally takes the assignment of stopping the rebel with his own SPT-BG-91U Bullgrenn.
 * 'Fouron' (Eriko Hara): A hidden, recessive program deep within the SPT-LZ-00X Layzner capable of overriding Rei, this AI had the persona of an adult male yet still kept the amorality of its predecessor. Programmed by Ken Asuka as a way of conveying information about Grados to the Earthlings, it would be surfaced whenever the Layzner was critically damaged, or Eiji was in serious danger of dying; its trademark purple eyes marking its complete control over the SPT, even its V-MAX system.
 * Admiral Gresco (Takeshi Watabe): Leader of the Gradosian fleet that invades Earth.
 * 2nd Lieutenant Karla Egiel (Run Sasaki): A Gradosian ace pilot who flew in Gale's squadron with her SPT-DM-20C Dimarge, she secretly harbored feelings for her leader despite his own feelings for Julia.
 * Manjuro (Kozo Shioya):
 * Getey (Masaharu Sato):
 * Bohn (Koichi Hashimoto):
 * Lieutenant Ahmos Gale (Hideyuki Hori): Gale isn't only Eiji's friend, but also his future brother-in-law after he is engaged to Julia. A senior officer of the Gradosian militia aged 25, he is assigned to track down and stop the "traitor" Eiji after he turns against his own squadron and seeks to warn the Earth of its impending invasion. He pilots the SPT-GK-10U Greimkaiser.
 * Commander Gueler (Yūji Mitsuya):
 * Mash (Kazue Ikura):

Anime
Blue Comet ran for 38 episodes from October 3, 1985 to June 26, 1986. Episode 25 is a recap clip-show and episode 38 is replaced by the 3rd OVA, subtitled The Last Act: Re-recording 2000 (LAST ACT 刻印2000), that remakes and expands on its events to conclude the show after it was canceled with only 2/3rd of the plot concluded. The first 2 OVAs, subtitled Act I: Eiji 1996 (ACT-1 エイジ1996) and Act II: Le Caine 1999 (ACT-2 ル･カイン1999), summarize episodes 1–24 (Act I) and 26–37 (Act II).

BC was known to have aired in Japan via AT-X, BS12 and on the Bandai Channel.

The anime had an OP and two ED songs. The OP was Melos no Yōni Lonely Way (Like Melos, Lonely Way), composed by Hideya Nakazaki and performed by Airmail from Nagasaki. The first ED song, which was for episodes 1-25, was Go-fun Dake no Wagamama (Just 5 Minutes of Selfishness), also composed by Hideya Nakazaki and performed by Seiko Tomizawa & Airmail from Nagasaki. The second ED song, which was for episodes 26-38, was La Rose Rouge (The Red Rose), composed by Tetsuji Hayashi and performed by Seiko Tomizawa.

Blue Comet's mech designs were done by Kunio Okawara.

In the summer of 2001, Bandai Entertainment announced plans to release the series in North America. However, as with Giant Gorg, the plan was scrapped. The complete series concluded the damaged, blue-tinted video masters from Sunrise, and were unable to acquire replacements. Bandai's license to this and Giant Gorg expired in 2005. In 2023, Discotek Media planned to release the series and the three accompanying OVAs on Blu-Ray, with fixed masters from the Japanese Blu-Ray release.

A Japanese Blu-Ray release was done on September 18, 2013 with the Blu-Ray Box and the Recollections 1996-2000 Blu-Ray Box version.

Video games
This series was included in Super Robot Wars J for the Game Boy Advance and Super Robot Wars GC for the GameCube. It was also featured in Shin Super Robot Wars (its debut) and Super Robot Wars 64 with a primary storyline role of all the Super Robot Wars it has appeared in. The anime also showed up in Super Robot Wars Operation Extend and Super Robot Wars DD.

The series also appears in the Another Century's Episode games, with the Layzner & Zakarl being playable in the first game and also the Greimkaiser & Bloodykaiser make appearances as CPU-only units. The sequel, Another Century's Episode 2, follows the basic plot of the series but adapts it to the setting produced by the combined plots of the anime involved. For example, Eiji's first appearance is just after the resolution of Martian Successor Nadesico, and the SDF-1 Macross's fold removes the heroes from Earth long enough for Grados to establish control over Manhattan. The heroes return in time to aid the resistance, and Eiji finally joins the team officially along with Domon Kasshu after they (and the player's current character) fight off the Demon Death Platoon and several Gundam Heads.

The series also appears in Harobots, since they're from Sunrise. Their units can act as 'wild' units or player units.

I live in Hampshire, England. I am a freelance computer software designer and have an MA in Philosophy from Cambridge University.

I'm a pretty intermittent editor on Wikipedia, as I have trouble fitting in all the things I'm already committed to in real life.

Clarification of my position regarding Landmark Worldwide

Once again, I have been the target of insinuations that I declared an intention to be a single purpose account for "defending" Landmark. I never entertained such an intention, and it seems an odd interpretation of the remarks I made here in 2005. For the sake of clarity, I have reproduced below the content that I posted here in 2006 to state my position. ''I've done quite a few edits on the Landmark Education page. Actually I don't enjoy that nearly as much as the work I do on other subjects but I find it hard to stand by while Point-of-View pushers try to turn it into a soapbox.

''Since there have been a lot of wild accusations thrown about lately at anyone who has tried to balance the torrent of negative material being inserted into that article, I'll make my own viewpoint explicit:

''I'm a customer of Landmark Education, and a (broadly) satisfied one. I've done several of their courses and training programs and found them excellent value for money and they've produced great results for me. I'm not, and never have been, employed by Landmark Education, and don't intend to be. I've made lots of good friends there, and met a number of people I find irritating. The organisation has its foibles, but they occur to me as minor distractions rather than anything alarming. I'm not currently doing any of their courses and have no immediate plans to do so. In editing the article, I have no agenda other than that it be fair, honest, informative and in accordance with Wikipedia policies.

''Oh, and while I'm about it, this is the one and only user name I've ever had - I'm not anyone's sock puppet nor am I any puppet's master. And the edits I do are on my own initiative.''

Fuel (song)

"Fuel" is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica. It was written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Kirk Hammett, and was released as the third single from their seventh album, Reload (1997). The song was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1999 but lost to Jimmy Page and Robert Plant for the song "Most High". It was moderately successful on the music charts, peaking at number two in Australia, number three in Hungary, number five in Finland and number six on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.

"Fuel" is one of the songs Metallica perform most live. It has featured on the live albums Cunning Stunts, S&M, Français Pour une Nuit, Orgullo, Pasión, y Gloria: Tres Noches en la Ciudad de México, Live at Grimey's and Through The Never.

A demo version of the song called "Fuel for Fire" (with different lyrics) was used as the theme song for NASCAR on NBC from 2001 until the 2004 Daytona 500. The song was also featured in the video game Fortnite Festival.

Leigh Stephens

Leigh Stephens is an American guitarist and songwriter best known for being former lead guitarist of the San Francisco psychedelic rock group Blue Cheer.

Blue Cheer
Leigh Stephens recorded two albums with the band, Vincebus Eruptum and Outsideinside. He has claimed to have been the only member of the band who did not use drugs. His replacement as Blue Cheer's lead guitarist was Randy Holden.

After Blue Cheer
Red Weather, Stephens' debut solo album, was recorded in February 1969, the artwork was based on a Sutro Baths photo.

Silver Metre
"'Silver Metre formed in Venice Beach and Santa Monica, California after my first trip to the United States at age 21...We recorded our first of a two-album deal with National General Records at Trident Studios, Wardour St, London. Our managers were Charlie Osborne, and later Tom Donahue who got us the deal...The money for our second album mysteriously disappeared...but I won’t go into that, other than to say it wasn’t the record companies fault.' —Pete Sears"

Silver Metre, named after Ben Dixon's "The Silver Meter" from Along Came John, formed in 1969, evolving out of the Red Weather recording sessions, with Micky Waller (drummer), just fired from the Jeff Beck Group, Stephens, Pete Sears, and Jack Reynolds (singer). They recorded one album at Trident Studios in London, England, released on National General Records, produced by their manager, FM rock radio pioneer Tom Donahue. Contributing music and lyrics included Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, Elton John, Bernie Taupin, Leigh Stephens, Pete Sears, and Tom Coman.

Pilot
Pilot was formed in 1971, with Mick Waller (drums), Leigh Stephens (electric guitar), Bruce Stephens (vocals, keyboards and guitar), Martin Quittenton (acoustic guitar), and Neville Whitehead (bass). Pilot only produced one, self-titled, album in 1972.

Stephens' 1971 album, And a Cast of Thousands featured his fellow band members from Pilot, the power trio Ashton, Gardner and Dyke, the two sax players from If, Dave Quincey, Dick Morrissey, and Jethro Tull bassist, Glenn Cornick.

Foxtrot, Stephens' next band, in 1974, with George Michalski (keyboards), Gary Richwine (bass, vocals), and David Beebe (drummer), signed and recorded an album for Motown Records, but was never released.

Chronic with a "K", Stephens' next band, in 1998, with Melissa Olsen (keyboards, vocals), Ron Stone (bass), and Ryan Goodpastor (drummer), released Ride the Thunder on ChroniCorp Records.

In 2004, High Strung/Low Key, Stephens' third solo album was self-released.

Graphic artist, 1990s
While still involved in the music scene in the early 1990s, Stephens also worked as a graphic artist and studio photographer. He designed automotive illustrations for the advertising and production of a mail order catalog company, ASAP, in Carson City, Nevada.

Recognition
He was ranked number 98 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the Top 100 Guitarists.

The McCalmans

The McCalmans (originally The Ian MacCalman Folk Group) were a Scottish folk trio. Formed on 6 October 1964, they recorded and toured without interruption until they disbanded in December 2010. Their performance was based on three part harmony, humour and a deep love and respect for the folk tradition in Scotland. They performed all over Europe, and in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Bermuda, Kenya, Cyprus, Belize and the Falkland Islands. They had six television series and BBC Network Radio series and appearances.

The original trio was formed by Ian McCalman (born 1 September 1946, in Edinburgh) on his first day at Edinburgh College of Art, where he, Derek Moffat (born near Dundee) and Hamish Bayne (born in Nairobi, Kenya) were studying architecture. Bayne left the band in 1982 and was replaced by Nick Keir. Moffat died as a result of cancer in 2001, and was replaced by long-term friend of the band, Stephen Quigg. The group disbanded in 2010, when McCalman decided to retire from touring. He now runs a recording studio. Keir and Quigg continued to tour together until Keir's death in 2013.

Cliff Gallup

Clifton E. Gallup (June 17, 1930 – October 9, 1988) was an American guitarist. He was the lead guitarist for the rockabilly group Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps throughout the 1950s.

Biography
In February 1956, local radio DJ Sheriff Tex Davis (William Douchette, 1914–2007) heard Gene Vincent performing at a talent show in Norfolk, Virginia, became his manager, and assembled a band of local musicians to back him. The band included Gallup, who had previously played in a local band, the Virginians, and who was older than Vincent and most of the other band members. In May 1956, the band recorded in Nashville, Tennessee. Producer Ken Nelson had session musicians standing by in case the band was not up to par, but as soon as Gallup played the solos on "Race with the Devil" they knew they would not be needed.

Gallup played on 35 tracks with Vincent, including his biggest hit, "Be-Bop-A-Lula", and established a reputation as one of the most technically proficient guitarists in early rock and roll. As a married man, Gallup was reluctant to tour with Vincent, and left the band in late 1956, returning only for some more studio sessions that same year for the second LP by Vincent and His Blue Caps. In the mid-1960s Gallup made a solo album for the local Pussy Cat record label in Norfolk, Straight Down the Middle, in a more mellow instrumental style akin to that of Chet Atkins and Les Paul. Gallup occasionally played with local bands, while working in school maintenance. He played guitar until the day he died. He last played in Norfolk with a group called the Hi-fi's 48 hours before he suffered a fatal heart attack.

At the time of his death in 1988, he was the director of maintenance and transportation for the Chesapeake, Virginia, city school system, where he worked for almost 30 years. At the request of his widow, obituaries in local newspapers made no mention of his time with Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps. He is remembered principally for his influence on such guitarists as Eric Clapton, Brian Setzer, and Jeff Beck. The latter recorded an album of Gene Vincent songs, Crazy Legs, in 1993 considered by music critics to be a tribute to Gallup and Vincent.

Gallup was ranked 79th by Rolling Stone magazine's David Fricke in his list of "100 Greatest Guitarists." He was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Guitar technique and equipment
His right hand playing technique is based on a flat pick in conjunction with fingerpicks on his middle and ring fingers, using his little finger to work the vibrato bar. In his short time as lead guitarist in Blue Caps he played a 1954 (Vintage Guitar Magazine June 2017) Gretsch 6128 (Duo-Jet) probably fitted up with two DeArmond Dynasonic single coil pickups, an aluminum bridge, not a Melita bridge as previously thought, and a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece. For amplifiers he used a Standel 25L15 (26-Watts tube amp with a single 15-inch speaker) for studio works and a Fender tweed for the remainder. According to one source, Gallup's trademark sound was produced by echo units he constructed himself from old tape recorder parts, but according to another source it was created in the studio by Nelson.

Talk:Bodyboarding

Vandalism
Someone is messing with these pages, trying to show that some Leio Gai is of some importance to bodyboarding. This is pure vandalism. The author is trying to promote perhaps himself or a friend. I´ll be reverting those edits until it stops. Regards.

Same goes for any further changes to the list of top regarded modern bodyboarders. There have been several attempts to put unknown people into this list.

User "Mark" has repeatedly attacked this page with unsubstantiated edits and locked the page unnecessarily. All edits he has done have been biased therefore, the community requests that he remove himself from further edits until he can show that his efforts are without malice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anselmogunn (talk • contribs) 17:56, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Lame sentence
"There was only one thing the revolution didn´t change. It is the thing that makes bodyboarding such great surfing sport. It´s the thing bodyboarding is all about: Tube riding!" Who wrote this? Its dumb. Someone fix it.
 * Yes, it is. I think I wrote it!!! Can´t remember. I´m working on a complete overhaul on the bodyboarding article. I´ve bought a few hard-copy books on the subject, and will be making this article a lot more professional looking. Just wait! Loudenvier 14:58, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

More lame stuff
"The wave is a ramp!" A lot of this article is written as if by a 15 year-old. While enthusiasm for the sport is to be encouraged, at the end of the day this is an encyclopedia, not a magazine. Also, a lot of the comments about specific bodyboarders are grossly biased and very far from objective, e.g. Mike Stewart. Will keep an eye on this. --Ghostreveries 12:14, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * There´s no POV towards Mike Stewart. He is 9 time world champion (prior to the world tour) and is regarded by ALL (consensus) to be the greatest name in bodyboarding. Guilherme Tamega is a 6 time world champion (after the world tour was established), and there´s no POV again. Those comments about those specific bodyboarders could be rephrased but it would be a big mistake to refrain from depicting their importance and prominence in the sport. On the other hand, this article was hastly edited, and it is very unencyclopaedic. Much rework is necessary to bring this article to wikipedia standard. Keep in mind that it´s not only the phrasing that is poor, the article also lacks in facts. For example, the historical section is inaccurate, lacking lots of information about bodyboard in ancient times (paipo board). I´m now working mostly on the Boxer article, but will soon be back into the bodyboarding to help improving it. Things I plan to work on:
 * 1) Rephrase things like "the wake is a ramp"
 * 2) Introduce more technical details about board design
 * 3) Make a more complete and accurate historical section
 * 4) Remove the list of bodyboarders and keep only world champions (this will make an objective list)
 * 5) Remove spams from the External Links section
 * 6) Rephrase description of old-school and new-school
 * 7) Include references using tags as per wikipedia current style guide
 * Hope you (all) could help me accomplish this Loudenvier 13:54, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * 8) Sorry to say that guys, but Hawaii is not a country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.68.108.179 (talk) 21:39, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I don't for one second doubt the significance of Mike Stewart's achievements nor the greatness of Tamega; it is the form of praise given to them that is in question. I agree though that this is a team effort, I will do my best to contribute positively to this page when work is not looking! -- Ghostreveries 10:20, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

List of bodyboarders
I think it's time to clean-up this list of "NOTABLE" bodyboarders. There must be objective parameters to list people on the list:
 * Any world-champion (Stewart, Barcellos, Tâmega, King, Botha...)
 * Any bodyboarder to have won an IBA tour sanctioned event
 * Any national bodyboarder champion (South African champion, Australian Champion, UK Champion, Brazillian champion, Peruvian champion..)
 * The top 16 (or 30) riders of the last year (today it would be the top 16 from 2005 )

Any other bodyboarder, no matter what, will not make into the list. This is the only way to keep the list from infringing wikipedia policies of no original research and NPOV. Regards Loudenvier 20:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

--

This list seems to be missing many of the early more notable bodyboarders, particularly many of Asian descent that hailed from Southern California and Hawaii.
 * No, this list does not seems to be missing many notable bodyboarders. In fact, the list has many non-notable bodyboarders. Notable is not the same as good. While Guilherme Tâmega, Paulo Barcellos, Mike Stewart and Ryan Hardy can be considered without doubt notable bodyboarders, Zé Otávio, Giuliano Lara, and many other bodyboarders who are very good but haven't internation expression couldn't be considered notable for inclusion in the wikipedia bodyboarding article. Less is more sometimes. Regards. Loudenvier 14:35, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Bodyboarding Locations
Why is Aruba featured as a prominent location? Aruba is far from a popular travel destination for bodyboarders. I have never seen Aruba covered in any American or Australian bodyboard magazine in the 20 years I've been a part of the sport. This seems to be page vandalism by edit happy Aruba locals. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.15.51.198 (talk) 20:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC).

Complete lack of sources or references!
Come on, Wikipedia... this seems like a good article... but there's no way to tell if any of it is true. Jpp42 08:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Six months later and this article is still in serious breach of Wikipedia's core policy on verifiability. A good example is the "Famous bodyboarding locations" which appears to be pure original research. Unless proper references are added soon, I will reduce the entire article to a stub. Thanks, Gwernol 09:42, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Boogieboard?
Is this another term for it, I hear it used occasionally. Is it a genericized trademark? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.75.187.196 (talk) 06:23, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes. It's more of a brand name for bodyboarding. Just like "Kleenex" is used to describe tissues, many people use "boogie board" to describe bodyboarding.--KangAK (talk) 04:26, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Australian Bodyboarders
This section is completely unreferenced, the subjects don't have pages. Will remove section if no argument. Recurring dreams (talk) 11:30, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Is this one of the activities sometimes refered to as waterboarding? I think a disambig page Waterboarding(recreational activity) should point here.Geo8rge (talk) 16:06, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

External link inclusion RfC
This is an RfC about which sites should be included in the external links section of the article Bodyboarding.
 * Remove them all per WP:EL, WP:SPAM, and WP:NOTLINK. Really.  The article needs references.  Instead it's host to examplefarms and a linkfarm. --Ronz (talk) 18:28, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Lame
What is a "body board"? What does it do? How is it used? How is it different from a surfboard or a boogie board? At a minimum, the technical specifications (I assume if there are competitions, they exist?) and (if different) the common retail specifications ought to be presented.173.189.73.122 (talk) 18:03, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 28 October 2019 and 16 December 2019. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Kenieshascott.

Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 08:56, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Remove or overhaul empirical evidence section?
The "Empirical Evidence" section is biased in its selection of articles, and is not a representative selection of the semantic memory literature. I think providing empirical evidence is great, but there's no discussion of why these three articles in particular are the most important and how they fit into a bigger picture. Moreover, the Kelley et al. 2014 paper is improperly cited. The link goes to another paper other than the one discussed, and I don't actually know what study they are referring to.

Unless someone wants to revamp this section entirely to prevent cohesive and unbiased review of the literature, I think it should be scratched. 128.148.231.34 (talk) 18:14, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Semantic memory and semantic dementia
I think this needs expanding rather than merging with Semantic Dementia. After all, the latter is merely a disorder of normal functioning, and someone should be able to write much more about normal function! I will put an "expand" request in. --PaulWicks 13:22, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree. I have moved the Semantic dementia information to the Semantic dementia page. Thanks, Dan aka jack 16:01, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The request for expansion on both of these topics is quite reasonable. I agree that merging them would probably be unwise as both articles have the potential to get quite long. Stephen Allison 03:35, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

I and several other users (students in the above-mentioned class) are planning to completely overhaul this page. Please expect updates over the next two to three weeks. We are planning to address the following subject areas: If there is any topic under the heading of semantic memory that people would like us to address, please post it here. Thanks, everyone, and expect to hear from us soon. Plasmoidal 16:50, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Historical research.
 * Models of semantic memory.
 * Neural correlates of semantic memory.
 * Disorders associated with semantic memory.
 * Open questions and future research.
 * This is the abstract I just read that made me look at this Wikipedia page, http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~db=all~content=a741921326 information might be helpful. It talks about how people with stronger handedness are more likely to use semantic memory. Might be helpful for anyone doing a follow up?99.111.152.9 (talk) 01:31, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

On the Selection of Content for this Article
This article appears to be about human semantic memory but makes no distinction between that and computational linguistics. The smattering of NLP topics seems both arbitrary and not convincingly related to the topic of human memory as it occurs in the brain.

The Primary Memory Articles Require Revision
It should be noted that the primary articles on "memory systems" are in desperate need of a revision as of Winter 2008. For whatever reasons, most of the references to Endel Tulving in the various articles, as well as the article on him, are in radical need of revision. Currently, the descriptions of episodic memory and semantic memory involve obsolete definitions and wholesale misinterpretations of Tulving's work. In particular, the article on episodic memory has a definition that was created more than 30 years ago and now Tulving himself says is obsolete. These memory articles as currently written, misrepresent the concepts of memory and in some instances shortchange the history of psychology. Any expertise in these areas would make a significant contribution and advance the viability of Wikipedia - which after looking at these articles as a potential reference - I recognize that they are not.

Range of LSA's measure of similarity
The description of the interpretation of the LSA's measure of similarity The degree of semantic relatedness of items in memory is given by the cosine of the angle between the items' context vectors (ranging from 1 for perfect synonyms to 0 for no relationship is incomplete, because cosine yields values between -1 and 1, and the output from SVD is not restricted to be non-negative (as initial word frequency counts are). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.233.173.160 (talk) 15:04, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Semantic Satiation
The Semantic satiation article is orphaned. Would this article be the best place to make a small section about and a link to the bigger semantic satiation article? --AndreasBWagner (talk) 23:40, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me! Not quite sure where it fits in though. I also added a few bits and bobs to semantic satiation including some incoming and outgoing links. --PaulWicks (talk) 12:40, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Article Additions
My goal was to update the descriptions of episodic memory and semantic memory because they involved obsolete definitions and misinterpretations of Tulving's work. I also added clarification about how declarative knowledge comes in two distinct forms. In the empirical evidence section I added a more recent conducted experiment. I also added citations to the history section on Endel Tulving. In the history section I explained how Endel Tulving adopted the term semantics and included information about research that shows a link between episodic experience and semantic memory. In the empirical evidence section I added a recent and current experiment studying semantic memory which concludes that Tulving's original "remember-know" discernments do not accurately reflect the memory supporting performance. Finally I added a few lines in the present and future research section area to show how cognitive neuroscientists are using PET and fMRI to explore different hypothesis concerning the rural network organizations of semantic memory.

Addition of a hierarchical chart showing the relationships between the variety of memory categories, e.g. explicit memory vs. implicit memory, or semantic memory vs episodic memory, would facilitate understanding the first paragraph text description of these memory types.2606:A000:8A42:3400:C0F5:A709:8113:BB58 (talk) 15:42, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Images
I was thinking of adding some images since the articles doesn't have much in that area. Without them it feels like it's missing something. Robinfiehcsim (talk) 22:05, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
