False light

In US law, false light is a tort concerning privacy that is similar to the tort of defamation. The privacy laws in the United States include a non-public person's right to protection from publicity that creates an untrue or misleading impression about them. That right is balanced against the First Amendment right of free speech.

False light differs from defamation primarily in being intended "to protect the plaintiff's mental or emotional well-being", rather than to protect a plaintiff's reputation as is the case with the tort of defamation and in being about the impression created rather than being about veracity. If a publication of information is false, then a tort of defamation might have occurred. If that communication is not technically false but is still misleading, then a tort of false light might have occurred.

False light privacy claims often arise under the same facts as defamation cases, and therefore not all states recognize false light actions. There is a subtle difference in the way courts view the legal theories—false light cases are about damage to a person's personal feelings or dignity, whereas defamation is about damage to a person's reputation.

The specific elements of the tort of false light vary considerably, even among those jurisdictions which do recognize this tort. Generally, these elements consist of the following:
 * A publication by the defendant about the plaintiff;
 * made with actual malice if the plaintiff is a public figure;
 * which places the plaintiff in a false light;
 * and that would be highly offensive (i.e., embarrassing to reasonable persons).

Some U.S. state courts have ruled that false light lawsuits brought under their states' laws must be rewritten as defamation lawsuits; these courts generally base their opinion on the premises that a) any publication or statement giving rise to a false-light claim will also give rise to a defamation claim, such that the set of statements creating false light is necessarily, although not by definition, entirely within the set of statements constituting defamation; and b) the standard of what would be "highly offensive" or "embarrassing" to a reasonable person is much more difficult to apply than is the state's standard for defamation, such that the potential penalties for violating the former standard would have an unconstitutional or otherwise unacceptable chilling effect on the media. However, "most states do allow false light claims to be brought, even where a defamation claim would suffice." Some of the states do not recognize the false light claim due to the similarity between false light and defamation, as well as the possible impact on free speech. The states that do recognize it will not allow a plaintiff to maintain suit for both false light and defamation.

Examples

 * In Cason v. Baskin, the Florida Supreme Court held that statements made in a book about a woman who "lived a quiet and private life," even if truthful, could nevertheless be the basis of a claim for invasion of privacy where the matters disclosed -- in this case, the plaintiff's use of profanity -- were not of "general or public interest." But this case did not necessarily establish a tort of false light, because there was no element of falsity required.
 * In Gill v. Curtis Publishing Co., the magazine Ladies Home Journal published an article criticizing "love at first sight" as being based solely on sexual attraction, and accompanied this article with a photograph of a couple. The couple sued, claiming the magazine had created a false impression of their love as "wrong" and likely to end in divorce. The California Supreme Court reversed the trial court, finding that the couple stated a common law claim for invasion of privacy. Previously, in Melvin v. Reid, a California court had found that the right to privacy originated not in the common law but in the California constitution.
 * In Peoples Bank & Trust Co. v. Globe Int'l, Inc., a tabloid newspaper printed the picture of a 96-year-old Arkansas woman next to the headline “SPECIAL DELIVERY: World's oldest newspaper carrier, 101, quits because she's pregnant! I guess walking all those miles kept me young.” The woman (who in fact was not pregnant), Nellie Mitchell, who had run a small newsstand on the town square since 1963, prevailed at trial under a theory of false light invasion of privacy. She was awarded damages of $1.5M. The tabloid appealed, generally disputing the offensiveness and falsity of the photograph, arguing that Mitchell had not actually been injured, and claiming that Mitchell had failed to prove that any employee of the tabloid knew or had reason to know that its readers would conclude that the story about the pregnant carrier related to the photograph printed alongside. The court of appeals rejected all of the tabloid's arguments, holding that “[i]t may be. . .that Mrs. Mitchell does not show a great deal of obvious injury, but. . . Nellie Mitchell's experience could be likened to that of a person who had been dragged slowly through a pile of untreated sewage. . . [and] few would doubt that substantial damage had been inflicted by the one doing the dragging.”
 * In a case against Playgirl magazine, actor Jose Solano Jr. won a false light claim because of the placement of headlines around his cover photo. The court said the gist of the magazine's cover—which featured headlines like "12 Sizzling Centerfolds Ready to Score With You" and "TV Guys. Primetime's Sexy Young Stars Exposed"—put Solano in a false light by suggesting he might be pictured nude inside the magazine, even though the cover could not have given rise to a defamation claim." The case was then later reversed due to the fact that he was a limited public figure and that the magazine was 'newsworthy.'
 * A Fifth Circuit case helps elucidate the distinction between false light and defamation. Jeannie Braun was an entertainer who performed an amusement park act involving a swimming pig. Through deception, a company owned by Larry Flynt, “obtained her picture [with the pig] and placed it in a magazine of nationwide circulation devoted to the publication of lewd pictures of women and to sexual exploitation.” A jury awarded Braun $30,000 on her defamation claim and $55,000 on her false light claims. The Fifth Circuit, however, held that Mrs. Braun could not recover under both theories, because they arose “from a single publication.” Nonetheless, the court instructed that if Braun waived her defamation claim, the district court should enter judgment on the false light claim. The court explained that the “facts of this case and the nature of the damages suffered – primarily, personal humiliation, embarrassment, pain and suffering – fit more precisely the ‘false light’ invasion of privacy theory than they do the defamation theory.”
 * The case of Warren E. Spahn v. Julian Messner, Inc., is a leading New York Court of Appeals court case involving the civil tort of false light that involved, among other things, a knowing lie about a military decoration. Julian Messner, Inc. published a supposed biography of baseball great Warren Spahn, written by one Milton Shapiro; the biography was aimed at children. The biography was largely fictionalized but, in keeping with its genre and target audience, did not say things that made Spahn look bad (and thus was not libelous). Rather, the biography made him look more heroic than he was by, for example, falsely claiming that he had earned a Bronze Star. Spahn sought an injunction to prevent publication of this book, The Warren Spahn Story. The New York court ruled in Spahn's favor. The court blocked further publication of the book and ordered the defendants to pay damages in the amount of $10,000. Messner appealed. In its ruling, the New York court held that such speech was constitutionally unprotected, and therefore could give rise to a tort recovery, simply because of the emotional distress that the falsehoods caused Spahn. To this day, this is a classic and often-cited example of speech actionable under the false light tort and has been used in court decisions all across the country
 * In the 1967 case of Time, Inc. v. Hill, the Supreme Court of the United States invalidated a false light privacy judgment for the Hill family in the absence of proof of actual malice. James Hill and his family were held up for a day in 1952 by three escaped convicts in their home near Philadelphia. The convicts eventually released the Hill family without harm or injury. Joseph Hayes wrote a novel about the story titled The Desperate Hours, which would later be made into a Broadway play. Hayes’ work portrayed a family, similar to the Hills, but in Hayes’ story, the family is treated with considerable violence while held hostage. Life magazine published an article in 1955 "describing the play as a re-enactment, and using as illustrations photographs of scenes staged in the former Hill home." The Hill family sued Time, Inc., publisher of Life, for invasion of privacy, reasoning that Life magazine was using their name and experience in order to increase circulation and to attract more people to the play. Time, Inc. argued that the issue was of public concern and was "published in good faith without any malice whatsoever." Justice William Brennan, speaking for a five-member majority of the Court, wrote that a showing of innocent or negligent false reportage is insufficient to collect damages for a false light claim. Justice John Marshall Harlan II, writing in dissent, opined that the actual malice standard, as set forth by the Court three years earlier in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, was too stringent for false light privacy cases.

Rhino Bucket

Rhino Bucket is an American hard rock band from Van Nuys, Los Angeles, formed in 1988. The group's sound is often compared to that of AC/DC.

History
The band was formed in February 1988 by Georg Dolivo (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Reeve Downes (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Greg Fields (lead guitar, backing vocals). This lineup, along with Rick Kubach on drums, played the Los Angeles rock scene for a year with contemporaries such as Junkyard and The Four Horsemen. Warner Brothers signed the band in 1989 and they released their self-titled debut album in 1990 with Liam Jason from Warrior on drums.

Their second album, 1992's Get Used To It, was written and recorded in Memphis with producer Terry Manning. The album contained "Ride With Yourself" which was featured in the hit movie and multi platinum soundtrack Wayne's World. In 1993, drummer Simon Wright (AC/DC, Dio) joined the band and appeared on the 1994 album Pain. The band continued extensive touring, but by 1996 the band went on what turned out to be an extended hiatus.

Rhino Bucket reformed in 2001 with Brian "Damage" Forsythe from Kix joining the original lineup of Dolivo, Downes and Enx on lead guitar replacing the departing Fields (aka Fidelman) who had gone on to a successful producing and engineering career. The band worked on a few movie soundtracks including the pot cult film Rolling Kansas and the title song for the movie The Outdoorsmen – Blood, Sweat & Beers. Again the band became a fixture on a now quite different L.A. rock scene.

In April 2006 Rhino Bucket released And Then It Got Ugly and then proceeded to tour with like minded friends Broken Teeth, Supersuckers and Kix. 2007 saw the release of two new CDs Pain & Suffering and No Song Left Behind. The former is an enhanced version (5 new tracks) of their 1994 album Pain, while the latter is a compilation of unreleased songs and live performances. In July of the same year Simon Wright reunited with the band at the Rocklahoma festival. Rhino Bucket released The Hardest Town in May 2009 with Wright behind the kit. The band was also featured on The Wrestler soundtrack and album during this time. In 2010 the band returned to Europe for the first time in over 15 years with a 45 date tour that traveled to 14 countries.

Rhino Bucket released their sixth studio album Who's Got Mine? in January 2011 to enthusiastic reviews by both press and fans. The band then embarked on two European tours making 83 appearances most notably at the Sweden Rock Festival where they played for over 10,000 fans. A 51 show American tour followed in the Summer and Fall.

Rhino Bucket continued touring. In 2014, they completed 200 shows in Europe and North America in support of a live album entitled "Sunrise on Sunset" (2013). Their final album, The Last Real Rock n' Roll, was released in April 2017.

In 2018, after months of rumors, Georg Dolivo announced that he was leaving the band to deal with personal problems, essentially ending the group. Their final live show was on April 22, at Rainbow Anniversary "Party in the Parking Lot". In Spring 2021 Dolivo announced that he and the band are returning for a European tour and select American appearances.

Joseph Mazzello

Joseph Francis Mazzello III (born September 21, 1983) is an American actor. He is best known for his roles as Tim Murphy in Jurassic Park, Roarke Hartman in The River Wild, Eugene Sledge in the HBO miniseries The Pacific, Dustin Moskovitz in The Social Network, and Queen bass player John Deacon in the biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.

Early life
Mazzello was born in Rhinebeck, New York, and raised in Hyde Park, New York, the son of Virginia (née Strong) and Joseph Francis Mazzello Jr., who owned a dance studio. Mazzello went to the Catholic school Our Lady of Lourdes. He is an alumnus of the University of Southern California, entering the USC School of Cinematic Arts in 2001 following a recommendation letter from director Steven Spielberg. Mazzello paid for school with his salary from a small appearance in The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997), something the actor jokingly referred to as his graduation present from Spielberg.

Early career: 1990–1998
Mazzello's first film appearance was a small role in 1990's Presumed Innocent, starring Harrison Ford. He then went on to appear in Radio Flyer, Jersey Girl and the TV film Desperate Choices: To Save My Child in 1992. In 1993, Mazzello got his first big breakthrough when he portrayed Tim Murphy in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park. Later in the same year, he also starred in Richard Attenborough's Shadowlands. He later appeared in 1994's The River Wild as Roarke Hartman.

In 1995, Mazzello had roles in The Cure (1995 film) and Three Wishes. Both films were critical and commercial failures. Mazzello continued his film career with lead roles in Star Kid in 1997, and in Simon Birch with Ian Michael Smith in 1998. Both were critical and commercial flops. He also provided voice-over work in the English dub of The Adventures of Buratino.

Television debut and directorial debut: 2001–2009
Mazzello's first film role in the 2000s was in 2001's Wooly Boys. In 2002, Mazzello made his television debut on Providence. He then appeared on CBS' hit shows CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Without a Trace. Afterwards, he appeared in Raising Helen (2004), The Hollow (2004 film) (2004), The Sensation of Sight (2006), and the short film Beyond All Boundaries (2009). Mazzello made his directorial debut with the short film Matters of Life and Death (2007).

2010–present
In 2010, Mazzello played Dustin Moskovitz, one of the co-founders of Facebook, in the David Fincher-directed film The Social Network. His performance was well-received by critics and he and the cast were nominated for several awards. During this, he played Eugene Sledge on the mini-series The Pacific (miniseries). Mazzello went on to appear in G.I. Joe: Retaliation as G.I. Joe operative Mouse in 2013. In 2018, Mazzello portrayed John Deacon in the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, reuniting with his co-star from The Pacific, Rami Malek. The Social Network earned $224.9 million, G.I. Joe: Retaliation $375.7 million, and Bohemian Rhapsody $903.7 million at the worldwide box office.

Talk:Sanguinarian

Cleanup_Taskforce/Sanguinarian

This is the first article I have written from scratch on Wikipedia, so be sure to leave feedback if you change anything. I intend to add source information when I have more time, until then it shall remain somewhat lacking (I am aware this is the case) and I would hope that others will fill in the gaps. I expect many Sanguinarians will be annoyed that I've posted this here, since it violates The Black Veil so blatantly, but we shall see. I have also left out some internal links, since I do not currently have the time to write articles about them (such as about the Synod).Rushyo 17:19, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I suggest removing the 'side effects' section. Not only is this information incorrect (see: www.vampires.nu FAQ)--Charles 22:06, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

 * "some believe that Sanguinarianism brings with it some of the features present in vampire myth. These can include"

 * I wouldn't say a post on a forum qualifies as reason for removing something from an article. It's already quite clear in the section that it is a minority belief. Just because some (including myself) believe it to be incorrect, does not mean other people might not feel that way. I was trying to display all POVs, rather than simply one view.

 * Good point, however I personally haven't seen a source states that a mortal vampire had said afflictions. Also, consider the science. Teeth growth like that would be amazing, epically if 'adult' teeth in a pubescent human. Also no, teeth retraction or ability to modify teeth size at will would be extraordinary (right up there with walking on water and levitation!) Aversion to sunlight is an already know medical condition Porphyria. Note again, this is a hereditary disease.(1) Pale complexion, again is an easy to explain condition… Lack of sunlight, perhaps posting, “Most Sanguniarians prefer night life, thus giving them a Pale complexion, this is not a direct effect of being a Sanguniarians that we know of yet.” High pain tolerance? Please see Pain
 * (1) . “Porphyria” A Reference Companion to the History of Abnormal Psychology Vol. 2. Westport: Greenwood Press, 1984.

 * If that was the only reason for questioning the neutrality of the article, may the notice be removed? Rushyo 01:30, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

 * With regards to the other two tags, it'd be nice if people actually discussed them here, since otherwise I have no real recourse but to revert them and hope someone provides a reason. I'll leave it a week before I do so. Also, if possibly, rather than complaining it'd be nice if people could take the time to fix problems themselves (possibly by posting an alternative here to be considered). Rushyo 01:54, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

 * No, don't you dare revert the tags... the tags should be bleeding obvious to you, but I guess not. The verfiy tag: The article cites sources that are horrible, see Verifiability for info on that and other things ytou need to work on. Clean up tag: The article needs major cleanup for writing style, punctuation, capitalization, etc.. NPOV tag: The article is written largely from the viewpoint of a sanginuarian - See NPOV for more info on how to be compliant there. And, honestly, this whole thing may be better off just redirecting to Vampire lifestyle. Making little fork articles to go on about some topic that basically already exists elsewhere is a no-no. DreamGuy 16:01, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

 * However, as is obviously evident here, there's far more than could be sensibly put in the Vampire Lifestyle article. There's also the fact that the people who have it consider it a medical condition and nothing to do with that. Would you put Schizophrenia under 'psychotic lifestyle'? If there's writing style, punctuation and capitilzation mistakes, I can't see them so fix them yourself if they're so blatantly obvious. I already underlined the lack of source work and asked if other people could fill those in, since frankly I don't have the time to look through a whole library of literature on this very diverse and wide-ranging topic, but the whole point of Wikipedia is that other people can. The article is NOT written from the viewpoint of a Sanguinarian, it is written by a Sanguinarian yes but not the viewpoint. I don't see you identifying the trouble areas and more importantly: IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM FIX THEM YOURSELF.

 * There's a moral to the above: Stop complaining and do some work yourself. Saying "the problem should be obvious" is wonderful but means nothing. Try actually getting off your ass and doing some work on it and THEN complain about problems. I am well aware of the rules of Wikipedia. I'm a historian, I know how to write a (reasonably) fair and unbiased viewpoint. Simply because you disagree with some of the viewpoints put down, does not mean they don't exist! "You are encouraged to create and improve articles." I'd love for any mistakes to be corrected but saying 'there's a problem' and not identifying any of it (saying 'it's biased' is not identification, it's an opinion) or fixing any of it is just lazy, selfish and downright rude. One of the most important rules of tagging: If you tag, add ALL the reasons why that tag should exist to the discussion page. Two of those tags didn't even have a WORD in their defense, nevermind a good argument in their defense.

 * Sometimes I wonder why I bother. You're so obsessed with these standards that you're forgetting the actual point. The point is you're supposed to fix what you think is wrong, not just complain about it until someone else does it. Comprehend yet? Rushyo 16:42, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Spent 4 hours looking up verification and citations. Feedback? (and that's feedback, not whining) Rushyo 00:12, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Looks good. In order to drop this POV tag perhaps I should right an article about how this is all in the head. Ill draft on and post it tonight.--Charles 21:31, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Rushyo please review the Cleanup_Taskforce/Sanguinarian page for work needed.

I love the work you've done so far. Keep it up!
The work you have done thus far is great; they seem to reflect the consensus of the ‘community’. However, since I do not belong to said community, I’d just like to help you out. Thus far I have corrected lots of little things for you, set up a few redirects to make your life easier and today I’m sure ill help out more. However I’m having trouble finding creditable references, e.g. papers, medical journals, books, theses, et cetera. I do not feel that providing only POV web resources is the best, but so far you’ve done great! --Charles 19:49, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

I dont understand why sanguinarians are only confined to places in the US. Why dont we hear cases of it in Middle East, Russia, Africa etc. like some real diseases like AIDS.--82.194.62.22 12:05, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

 * It's not confined to the US, but you'll need to be able to read foreign languages to understand the sites from other countries. I suspect some countries don't have the same extent of online-savvy people that countries like the US or UK do, however that doesn't stop individuals from those countries visiting US-based sites and chatting on US-based message boards.

Merge with Vampire (Vampyre) Lifestyle?
I'm confused as to why this article shouldn't be merged with Vampire Lifestyle. What seems to distinguish sanguinarianism from the vampire lifestyle is the medical need for blood. However, there is no verifiable evidence of this need. Whereas, there is abundant verifiable scientific evidence of schizophrenia. Comments? Dan Lovejoy 04:40, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * First, not all sanguinarians choose to life a “vampiric lifestyle” with cosplay, clubbing, and/or social events. Some of us are regular joes with regular jobs and mortgages, cars, kids/pets, etc. Second, while you could probably make a solid case for some who are active in the realvamp community having mental, emotional or other medical problems :) that is most distinctly not the case for everyone. We'd love to know why - it would solve your question, and those of many others - but we haven't gotten to that point yet. Hopefully we will someday. SphynxCatVP 16:01, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The current vampire lifestyle article is not only about the cosplay and clubbing, it is about people who think they are real vampires too. Don't let the one pic at the top confuse you. Have you actually read the page? The two articles definitely should be merged. DreamGuy 01:26, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Just because the lifestyle page includes something on real vampires does not necessarily mean it should be there. Many of us will argue the proper use of the word "think" versus "know", and last I knew "lifestyle" implies "choice". sphynxcatvp 23:59, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I understand that people believe that they physically must drink blood, and I don't want to denigrate them. However, there is no evidence that sanguinarianism is a practice based on medical need rather than perceived need. Dan Lovejoy 00:46, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, now that you've brought "medical" into it... :) I will use an analogy: The Merck Manual claims (bottom of the page) that "Most nutritionists believe that huge doses of vitamin C (about 10 g/day) do not decrease the incidence or severity of the common cold..." The MM is a textbook commonly used by medical students today, and is thus something that I understand would be an item considered reflective of mainstream medical thought.

 * However, on the flip side, this book has hundreds of references within it's pages - most, if not all, findable on PubMed (or you can visit your local hospital, or hospital-connected university, for access to MedLine which will give you the complete papers, not just the abstracts that PubMed has) that illustrate the thereputic use of vitamin C in large doses, not only for colds but for many other things as well.

 * My point with this unrelated babbling :) is that while there may not be any mainstream medical proof, it doesn't mean there isn't something lurking in the dark recesses of medical archives somewhere, perhaps even under a different name than what we would otherwise associate with it.

 * In the meantime, I still maintain that "lifestyle" ("A way of life or style of living that reflects the attitudes and values of a person or group") is inaccurate - despite whatever our attitudes and values - or even faith-based paths - may be, the problem does not go away. SphynxCatVP 10:45, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * So.... you are using your belief in one crackpot theory (megadoses of vitamin C being beneficial) to try to support your belief in another crackpot theory (self-professed vampires need to drink blood)? That doesn't really work. DreamGuy 16:51, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I think his point was that there are people who disagree with mainstream medical texts, as we haven't yet begun to understand the whole breadth and depth of the human organism. Sometimes these people are right, sometimes they're wrong. Also, just because something is not widely accepted doesn't make it any more or less "crackpot", as absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

 * In regards to his second point, whether or not there is a medical basis for the position, there's still a gulf between "lifestylers" (people aware that they are pretending to need blood) and Sangs (who do not think that they are pretending, regardless of what outside observers think). Thus, we have two separate articles, just like we have articles that differentiate Magic_%28paranormal%29 and Magic_%28illusion%29... the former is a believer in their actions, the latter is aware that they are pretending. Ronabop 06:12, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, exactly. Thank you for noticing that. :) SphynxCatVP 13:27, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Dreamguy: Megadoses of vitamin C being beneficial is a crackpot theory, eh? *rolls up sleeves* And I'm not even going to drag Pauling, Cathcart, Klenner, Stone, etc. into this, since I *know* you'll call them "crackpots" too. What follows is a series of links in a quick and random two hour search on PubMed ("A service of the National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health" - certainly should meet the "verifiability" policy... :P) I've even made it easy by giving the links instead of the reference citations - these in particular HAVE abstract text that can be read - so all that's needed is a simple click.

 * One, two, three, four,, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty
 * SphynxCatVP 14:30, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

 * This debate would go away a lot quicker if you could provide one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty sources about the medical need to drink blood to gain some kind of "energy" from it. Blings

 * There's a list of twenty over here on what's often called "clinical vampirism" if you wish to peruse...Apparently there's more medical stuff than I realized.

Forgive my brusqueness here - but I think we're getting a bit far afield. Your inclusion of Vitamin C references here proves the point. If there were similar references to a physiological need to feed on human blood, I assume you would have linked them. Instead, you've given us a bunch of Vitamin C references. But Vitamin C is not relevant to the discussion here. Perhaps you've knocked down a straw man argument, but in doing so, you've reinforced that fact that that there's no evidence to support sanguinarianism as a scientific phenomenon. (From Dan Lovejoy)

 * I don't quite "grok" what you mean by the straw man comment, but seriously...if someone's going to call something a "crackpot theory" why wouldn't the opponent respond, especially if there's proof to the contrary? My original vitamin comment was meant more as analogy - I forget sometimes that not everyone has rummaged through PubMed and the like, and for that I apologize. SphynxCatVP 01:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Ronabop - your point is well taken, but we still don't need two separate articles. Once the Sanguinarian content is cleaned up and properly sourced, there will be very, very little left - perhaps no actual encyclopedic material. Since it's already covered in Vampire lifestyle, I don't think it belongs in its own article.

Also, I did an EBSCO academic search and came up with scads of materials on Vampirism, but not one hit on "sanguinarianism" or "sanguinarian." I couldn't find it on the web except on vampirism web sites. Is the term used by non-vampires and non-sanguianarians? (From Dan Lovejoy)

 * I doubt it. I'd be surprised if it was. (And just because I'm curious, what is EBSCO and how do you get access? I'm always looking for more academic things to peruse. Feel free to respond to the EBSCO question on my user:talk page.) SphynxCatVP 01:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Finally, I have to ask - is it your goal to legitimize sanguinarianism through the Wikipedia, or to truly describe the phenomenon? Is your goal to write an encyclopedia, or to promote a particular point of view? Dan Lovejoy 19:35, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Despite the attempts to explain that "sanguinarian" is not the same as "lifestyle", merging the two seems to be a popular opinion. I believe that going by NOR policy, you are correct in stating that there wouldn't be much left - nost likely not enough to warrant inclusion anywhere under either NOR or verifiability policies. If the reasons why they are considered different by the people involved are not understood or accepted then, personally, I'd rather not see it covered at all, than to have it chucked under lifestyle. I don't particularly care of other people consider it legitimate or not - if there's validity to it, eventually proof will be found sometime down the road. I know I can certainly be patient until then. :) SphynxCatVP 01:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I can't speak for anyone else, but when I wrote the initial article it was to describe the condition in a way that would provide the knowledge of the existence (perceived or otherwise) of Sanguinarism to a large body of people in a formal and encyclopedic manner. If I wanted to stress my own point of view, I'd have written an essay and propogated it through the media. Rushyo 08:42, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Flippity floppity.... wheee! See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Vampire_lifestyle#Just_make_a_new_page Ronabop 05:19, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Merging it sounds appropriate to me. Also, all the info that's not from a reliable source should probably be removed. Some random kid's website isn't a reliable source. This might mean there's not much left after, which which may make it easier to merge. Friday (talk) 14:25, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay. It seems that this arguement has come to a stalemate. I believe the article should remain as is, given that there is a decent amount of material here that isn't covered in the vampire lifestyle article, and since Sanguinarian was created through a split with vampire lifestyle. It'd be silly to basically undo that. --K e rowyn 18:44, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, please keep this article separate and rework the vampire lifestyle entry. Since the term "sanguinarian" rose within the vampire community to differentiate between those who feel the need to drink blood and those who do not, also termed "psychic" or "energy" vampires, perhaps such information should be included in this article in order to avoid confusion. If a merge is thought to be appropriate, I would suggest merging the Energy Vampire entry with the Sanguinarian entry, removing references to folklore. The combined entry could be termed Modern Vampirism or something to that effect.205.162.51.85 22:31, 8 March 2006 (UTC) Sylvere ap Leanan

The problem is, for sanguinarians mostly, is that there is indeed no scientific proof for our condition. (or, possibly just not discovered yet in the dusty halls of medicine). All we have are "some kids website". I think our collective experiences are important and should not be shunned because there is no official Sanguinarian website on the net.MFuture 22:34, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Compromise suggestions

 * Keep as separate articles, remove duplicate paraphrasing and content about Sangs from lifestyle article, and merge that content to here.
 * Change the "lifestyle" title (and content) to something less offensive to Sangs (Vampire_subculture? Vampires_in_modern_culture?), merge this content into that article once a better title is agreed upon.
 * Keep bickering. :-) Ronabop 06:12, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * *I think this is winning out... Rushyo 08:35, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Reliable sources
It looks like a bunch of stuff is being added that's not backed up by reliable sources. Unless proper sources can be found, it should probably be trimmed. Personal websites are not considered reliable sources- it's too easy for a person to turn an article into their own personal essay that way. Friday (talk) 16:51, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Merge with Renfield Syndrome?
As you can see from recent work I've done in the Renfield Syndrome article, merging it with Sanguinarian clearly doesn't make sense. The Renfield Syndrome is a psychological disease, while the term Sanguinarian is employed by those who think the affliction is physical. Merging the Renfield Syndrome with Sanguinarian would be like merging Hunger with Compulsive overeating, or Dieting with Anorexia nervosa--– sampi ( talk • contrib ) 07:33, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Removing the merge tag per Sampi. --K e rowyn 21:34, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Sangomancy's relation to sanguinarianism
I removed this from the article because all it says is that it ISN'T related. But I'll put it here for the record:

''Sangomancy is in no way related to sanguinarianism. Sangomancy is derived from the same word 'Sanguine' but it deals with blood magic (possibly 'blood ritual'). This root word connection is the only tie between the two.''

Cleanup
I'm here on behalf of the Cleanup Taskforce. I'm going to try and compile a list of things that need to be done here. There is basic formatting work that needs to be done. Anything else? --K e rowyn 21:43, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Contradiction
This article appears to contradict parts of the Vampire Lifestyle article, including the point about its status as a hereditary condition. Falcon 18:30, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Where in either article does it state it is a hereditary condition??? What are the contradictions? I can't see any, only in areas that are contested science anyway. Remember that Sanguinarianism contains a particular set of values commonly associated with vampire lifestylers and that most of the content on Vampire Lifestyle does not actually apply at all. Rushyo 17:20, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * There doesn't appear to be a mention of this being a herditary condition in either article. I'll remove the tag. --K e rowyn 18:36, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Redirected to Vampire lifestyle
Because we talked about the need for a merge in the past, the article author got all pipssy about it, but facts are that this article is the exact same topic as that other article and it goes against Wikipedia policy to have fork files on the same topic so different people can push different POVs on the same topic. Not to mention that this things has been tagged as needing severe cleanup and verification and so forth since November and it never got done. Instead it starts out right away talking about prannic energy and so-called Energy vampires and assorted poorly worded crap.

If you think anything from this article is worth salvaging, please go into the history and move anything worthwhile to Vampire lifestyle, where the editors are slightly more active and you can come to some sort of agreement on this whole bloodsucking thing instead of having separate POVs in separate locations. DreamGuy 19:51, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Please don't suddenly merge stuff. There's never been a consenus on this article and many other people have favored leaving it seperate. Personally, I'd like to take all these disparate articles and put them together under "Modern Vampirism" or something similar. They all have similar content for the most part.

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

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

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 09:38, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:SMM.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:SMM.JPG. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 21:06, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Shree Swaminarayan Sampraday
This was a duplicate article. Please do not continue working on this copy of the Bhagwan Swaminarayan article. Sfacets 16:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

No this is not a duplicate article it has some info on Bhagwan Swaminarayan but the Shree Swaminarayan Samprday is more about that sect and the work that they do just likeBAPS if you think Shree Swaminarayan Samprday is the same than you should mearge the BAPS page aswell why dont you do that because its a differant sect just like the Swaminarayan Sampraday.

Raj - सनातन धर्म 10:15, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Then why does it contain almost identical content, except for a few paragraphs? Sfacets 10:34, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Because most of it is from editors of the Swaminarayan Sampraday but because this is a sect of Bhagwan Swaminarayan it needs to have some background info of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. But this can be changed.

May I suggest you move your edits to a new article which better describes the subject and thus removes any ambiguity? Sfacets 10:39, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

But it does not really have much ambiguity but I can re work the Shree Swaminarayan Sampraday so it is more focused on the sect and small amounts on Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Raj - सनातन धर्म 10:44, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

It should have a very small amount of info on Bhagwan Swaminarayan... a paragraph tops... but that still leaves the quesion of the name unresolved. Also the images used in both articles produces confusion.

A clear distinction should be made on the Bhagwan Swaminarayan article between the different sects (BAPS etc...) and this should be reflected in the structure (sections) of the article... Sfacets 10:51, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

This can be done the images can be changed and differnt info.

Gadhada I-41
As for Gadhada I-41, I interpret it as Bhagwan Swaminarayan is the Supreme, and he forever resides in Akshar; this is nothing contrary to what BAPS propagates, for Maharaj forever resides within his devotee who remains in constant service of him, one of two forms mentioned by Maharaj in Gadhada I-21. Akshar manifest is Pramukh Swami Maharaj, so he resides with him fully. Again, this is my interpretation since you asked for it some time back.

Unspecified source for Image:GOD11.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:GOD11.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags.

Talk:Shenzhou 8

troll
I just put a little something on Shenzhou 8, because some troll put fake info here.

Docking?
Latest news report Shenzhou 8 will dock with a non-Shenzhou target, not Shenzhou 9.

What else should it be? An asteroid?? I think this sentence is useless. Greetings from --MSSpace 08:26, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

It was just justified by Zhang Jianqi from CNSA that the 8 ton target vehicle to be docked by other vehicles will not be Shenzhou 8 but Tiangong 1. Shenzhou 8, Shenzhou 9 and Shenzhou 10 will dock with Tiangong 1 in turn. Greeneese (talk) 06:13, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Grammar
First sub-heading should read (corrections in parenthesis):

China's first space laboratory Previous plan(s) for conducting a first space docking experiment with two conventional Shenzhous have been scrapped, replace(ed) by a more ambitious goal. Now, the Shenzhou-9 spacecraft will dock with the new (delete "modified") Shenzhou-8 space laboratory module. Launched in 2010 this spacecraft will be totally different from previous Shenzhous, consisting of an eight ton space laboratory module part of the Project 921-2, with solar panels and two docking ports at the front and rear (delete "sides"). The overall diameter of the space laboratory will be larger than conventional Shenzhous. [2] This essential step will allow China to master key technologies that are prerequisites for building large scale permanent space station(s), performing Moon landing(s) and building future Moon bases.

Work to do
This article appears to be based on some fairly outdated, contradictory speculation about Shenzhou 8. As it is the next Chinese manned mission, we should be looking to improve things.

I'm going to do some research on the matter and would appreciate any help. GrampaScience (talk) 12:30, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Its been over a year, and this article is still fairly short for a mission that is about to launch. I am looking at things I can add.

 * I've not added images before, I don't know what the copyright status of the images such as those in this article are: http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n1107/04tiangong/ - and I imagine a response to a copyright request might not be forthcoming. Most national space agencies allow use of their images though, so could we assume that this is the case here? GrampaScience (talk) 14:32, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Just clarifying, since the original commenter in this section thought Shenzhou 8 was a manned mission. It is not a manned mission.  It is a teleoperated or autonomous robotic mission.  Sources are in the article now.  N2e (talk) 18:37, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

images
A photo of the launch would be good, as would a diagram of the docking situation. 65.94.77.11 (talk) 10:29, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Pictures
This article (and many other ones relating to the Chinese space program) lacks good pictures. It is particularly damning in this case, as there exists pictures of the spacecraft in orbit (taken from Tiangong-1)

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2011-11/14/content_14093572.htm

The photo credit in Xinhua. Does anyone know what their policy on use is?

Arques-la-Bataille

Arques-la-Bataille is a commune in the Seine-Maritime department in the Normandy region in north-western France.

The zoologist Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville (1777–1850) was born in Arques.

Geography
Arques is situated near the confluence of the rivers Eaulne, Varenne and Béthune, with the forest of Arques to the north-east. It lies 4 mi southeast of Dieppe at the junction of the D23, D154, and D56 roads.

Main sights
The centre houses a castle dominating the town, which was built in the 11th century by William of Talou; his nephew, William the Conqueror, regarding it as a menace to his own power, besieged and occupied it. After frequently changing hands, it came into the possession of the English, who were expelled in 1449 after an occupation of thirty years. In 1589, its cannon decided the Battle of Arques in favour of King Henry IV of France.

Since 1869, the castle has been state property. The first line of fortification was the work of Francis I; the second line and the donjon date back to the 11th century. The church of Arques, a building of the 16th century, preserves a stone rood screen, statuary, stained glass and other relics of the Renaissance period.

Just outside the town is the World War I Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery, designed by J R Truelove, the final resting place of 377 men of the Chinese, West Indies, and South African Native Labour Corps.

Cultural references

 * Willa Cather's 1907 short story Eleanor's House is set in Arques-la-Bataille.
 * Simon Raven's 1984 novel September Castle revolves around ancient hauntings in the Castle of Arques, and is set in the region.

José González Gallo

José de Jesús González Gallo (1900–1957) was a Mexican lawyer and politician who served as Governor of Jalisco.

Biography
González Gallo was born in Yahualica, Jalisco, to Felipe González Vallejo and Josefina Gallo. He studied elementary school in his hometown Yahualica but later moved to Guadalajara where he pursued graduate studies in law. He was also part of the Association of Catholic Youth cofounded by Silvano Barba González.

He worked for the judicial branch of government of Jalisco occupying different positions, he served as judge in Jalostotitlán and Teocaltiche, secretary of the supreme court of justice and criminal and civil judge in Guadalajara.

He was Senator of Jalisco from 1934 to 1940. A member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), González Gallo was appointed by President Manuel Ávila Camacho as secretary of the Presidency of the Republic from 1940 to 1946.

From 1947 to 1953 he served as Governor of Jalisco. In his first year in office, he passed a law to increase the number of Supreme Court judges, Civil and Financial judges, to strengthen the judicial state power of Guadalajara over the state's provinces.

While in office, González Gallo commissioned various modernization projects in Guadalajara, Chapala, Tlaquepaque, Zapopan, and his native Yahualica. Among these projects were the construction of more than 600 schools, miles of highways and roads, and the founding of the Instituto Tecnológico de Guadalajara. His administration also aimed to end the hacienda-driven economy of rural Jalisco and replace it with modern agricultural industries, all the while preserving the Caciquismo of the state's countryside. Under his administration, the state lived its period of greatest political and economic stability since its inception in 1824, partly because it unlocked significant budgets from the federal government.

In the shift toward the modernization of Jalisco, Gonzalez Gallo's administration destroyed many valuable buildings so many beautiful historical houses were lost.

González Gallo died in a car accident in August 1957. His brother Felipe González Gallo was murdered that same year. The municipality of Yahualica de González Gallo in Jalisco is named after him. Many streets and a main avenue in Guadalajara are named after him.

Personal life
González Gallo married to Paz Gortázar Gutiérrez and had 8 children, 4 women named Paz, Adriana, Marcela, and Cecilia and 4 men named Jesus (José de Jesús González Cortázar, lawyer and federal deputy of Jalisco ), Alejandro, Federico, and Fernando.

For a few years, two of his brothers alternated the municipal presidency of Yahualica: Felipe González Gallo was President of Yahualica in 1927, 1928-1929, and 1930-1931; Gregorio González Gallo was President of Yahualica in 1929, and 1932-1933.

Comments

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. Probably most often I would use the rollback button to correct tests and vandalism that I come across on my watchlist.  I would also help close AfDs and help sort through the backlog of copyright tagged articles (in homage to Martin :).  I like to find things that don't require real deep thought to do when I'm tired, and I think these two would satisfy that desire.  I'm pretty game to help out wherever people need help, except RC patrol.  If I do that for too many days in a row it starts to feed my misanthropic tenancies too much.   --best, kevin  · · · Kzollman | Talk · · · 18:21, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I just (yesterday) posted a substantially rewritten version of the Game theory article.  Although, I was planning to work on it for another week, the Nobel committee inspired my haste.  I'm really happy with how it turned out.  I have also worked on a lot of game theory games.  Of those, I'm probably most proud of Stag hunt and Centipede game (although, I'm happy with all of them; see my userpage for a list). --best, kevin  · · · Kzollman | Talk · · · 18:21, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. As I said above, RC patrol freaked me out a bit.  I don't think I really did anything inappropriate when I was regularly doing RC patrol, it just made me too anxious (especially for what is my hobby)  Nowadays, I only deal with a few vandal/testers a day on my watch list.  With respect to disputes, I try to deal with them in a couple different ways.  First, I think often the prudent action is to ignore it.  Obviously, one should not feed trolls, but also I try to stay out of conflicts when others are handling them well.  Although I dealt with many of Dot Six's edits, I really didn't try to deal with him myself.  Other users were doing a great job trying to reason with him, and I thought my jumping in would just cause more confusion and turmoil.  When I need to deal with someone regarding content, I try to always both keep myself calm and take whatever action I think will help defuse the other user.  After using an impolite edit summary, I think I handled a conflict with User:Wragge well here.  Also, I think its always important to cite sources for one's arguments, this keeps egos from getting too involved (for example, see my discussion at Talk:Complete information).  --best, kevin  · · · Kzollman | Talk · · · 18:21, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Requirements contract

A requirements contract is a contract in which one party agrees to supply as much of a good or service as is required by the other party, and in exchange the other party expressly or implicitly promises that it will obtain its goods or services exclusively from the first party. For example, a grocery store might enter into a contract with the farmer who grows oranges under which the farmer would supply the grocery store with as many oranges as the store could sell. The farmer could sue for breach of contract if the store were thereafter to purchase oranges for this purpose from any other party. The converse of this situation is an output contract, in which one buyer agrees to purchase however much of a good or service the seller is able to produce.

Consideration
Several problems typically arise with requirements contracts. The first is consideration. There would technically be no breach of the contract if the buyer bought nothing because the buyer is agreeing to buy only as much as the buyer needs. In the above example, the grocery store might void its obligation to buy from the farmer by deciding not to carry oranges. Courts generally sidestep the concern that the buyer is not actually required to buy anything by noting that the contract is nonetheless the surrender of the right to buy from another party. Put simply, "[t]he buyer under a requirements contract does not promise to buy as much as she desires to buy but, rather, to buy as much as she needs". However, such a contract would likely be deemed illusory if the buyer reserved the right to buy from other parties.

Defined terms
Another problem is the lack of a defined term. Contracts must have terms that are sufficiently defined for a court to be able to determine where a breach has occurred. It would be difficult to determine whether the buyer in a requirements contract is falsely claiming that his needs are lower than they actually are as a ploy to achieve a renegotiation or rescission of the contract. Conversely, if market conditions make the contract price a windfall for the buyer, that buyer may decide to buy more than it actually needs in order to go into competition against the seller. Courts often look to the history of dealings between the parties and to the standards within the industry to determine if the buyer is acting in bad faith for breach of contract actions on requirements contracts.

Until fairly recently, requirements contracts were deemed void under the law of France for lack of defined terms under Articles 1129 and 1583 of the French Civil Code. In Belgium, by contrast, court decisions have consistently held such contracts to be valid, despite the Belgian Civil Code having language identical to that of France. In the context of transactions in goods, most jurisdictions in the United States apply Section 2-306(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code, which imposes a good faith limitation on purchases under a requirements contract. The Code states:

Simply put, this means that a requirements contract for goods is valid, but might not be enforced if the buyer makes demands that are unreasonable compared to either prior estimates or industry standards. The Uniform Commercial Code does not apply to sales of services.

Antitrust concerns
Finally, antitrust concerns sometimes arise because a requirements contract prohibits the buyer from doing business in a particular commodity with a party other than the seller. This may create an exclusive dealing arrangement which gives the seller monopoly power over the buyer, preventing the buyer from seeking a better deal if the market becomes more competitive. Conversely, a buyer able to generate sufficient demand can absorb all of the seller's output, effectively removing that seller from competing on the open market. Requirements contracts have nevertheless been upheld in the face of challenges on antitrust grounds. Robert Bork, in The Antitrust Paradox, examines requirements contracts and contends that they are not anticompetitive precisely because they are a product of freedom of contract. He argues that no one would sign a requirements contract with a seller in the first place unless that seller offered a better deal than its competitors, and a better deal could only be offered by a more competitive seller. Bork concludes, "[t]he truth appears that there never has been a case in which exclusive dealing or requirements contracts were shown to injure competition".
