Yamada Denki

Yamada-Denki Co., Ltd. (株式会社ヤマダデンキ) is one of the largest consumer electronics retailer chains in Japan.

Overview
The company was founded in 1973 as a privately owned store. Yamada Denki Co., Ltd. was established in 1983. The current corporation was created on May 21, 1987, by a merger with the dormant company Nihon Densen Kōgyō Kabushiki-gaisha (日本電線工業株式会社) "Japan Electrical Wiring Industries", founded in 1978, via a change in the face value of the stock, and a change in the company name (to Kabushiki-gaisha Yamada Denki). Yamada Denki is listed in the first division of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and the location of its head office is 1-1 Sakae-cho, Takasaki, Gunma. In February 2005, the company achieved sales figures of 1 trillion yen, making it the first specialist retailer in Japan to do so.

At the end of 2004, the company had 223 directly run stores across Japan, and 33 stores owned by subsidiaries, a total of 256 stores. It aims to expand further by branching out into small-scale retail and retail in the areas close to train stations. With the opening of the Tecc Land Tokushima Aizumi store in Aizumi, Tokushima Prefecture, on July 29, 2005, it became the first consumer electronics retailer to have stores in every prefecture in Japan.

There is a strong rivalry between Yamada Denki and Kojima, another major retailer of consumer electronics, with its head office in the neighboring prefecture of Tochigi, in Utsunomiya. Sales competition between the two has often caused sparks to fly, and sometimes disputes have ended up in court. There have been fierce battles for shop sales and store locations with other companies in the same industry, and in every store location "consumer electronics wars" named after the local area have broken out. In Shizuoka, in June 2005, Yamada Denki made news by opening a store next to the Kojima store on National Route 1, Suruga-ku, which was of the same scale. There are several other stores next to Kojima stores. In Kumagaya, Saitama Prefecture, despite having a store at some distance from the Kojima store, Yamada Denki opened a new store in the building vacated by Maruetsu, right in front of Kojima's nose, while keeping their existing store open. Kojima then opened a "New Kumagaya store", more than twice the size, renovating it using the scrap-and-build method. Since the 1990s, competition between the stores has been so tight that other rivals are unable to come close. At one point during the time when it was called Gigas Kansai, Gigas opened a store, but was quickly forced to withdraw. In Kōriyama, Fukushima, Kojima and Best Denki used to have stores at the same crossroads, but Best Denki withdrew, and Kojima reopened its New Murayama store, which had been closed, increasing its area several times using the scrap-and-build method. The competition in the consumer electronics field is still continuing at present.

Before Yamada Denki brought in its point system, it set up an experimental store to test the system, using the name "Digital 21" rather than "Tecc Land", in Adachi-ku and Okayama Prefecture. In Okayama, a Tecc Land store was closed and renovated to turn it into the Digital 21 Okayama store.

Groups including Shoten Kumiai (日本書店商業組合連合会), a trade union composed of booksellers from across Japan, have expressed the opinion that issuing points for books, and selling books using points, is an infringement of the resale price maintenance system, and requested that the redemption rate of the points (currently 3%) be lowered. When points were introduced, the rate for books was 5%, but it was later lowered to 3%.

In June 2004, the main Hiroshima store was opened in the central district of Hiroshima, partly as a test run for a city-based store. Based on the knowhow acquired from this test, "LABI1 Namba" was opened in 2006. The opening hours of the main Hiroshima store and LABI1 Namba are from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., the longest of any Yamada Denki stores in the country.

In August 2005, the company bought land in front of the east exit of Takasaki Station through Shimizu Corporation. This was scheduled to be completed in 2007, becoming the location of a large city store and new company headquarters. A plan to build the store in the Minato Mirai 21 area of Yokohama, but the plan was changed, apparently because the Yokohama city government expressed concerns about traffic congestion in the area.

In November 2005, Yamada Denki, together with the Kagawa Prefecture supermarket Marunaka, and the electrical goods retailer "Dynamite", also from Kagawa, founded "Chūgoku / Shikoku Tecc Land". Dynamite was transformed into a franchise, and its major stores were changed to Tecc Land stores. The result, in practice, was the acquisition of Dynamite.

In April 2010, Yamada Denki opened its LAB1 Shinjuku Higashiguchi Building branch in the Yunika Building, which is best known for its giant "Yunika Vision" video screen. The branch closed on October 4, 2020. The building was left vacant until April 2022, when sporting goods chain Alpen Tokyo turned it into its flagship store.

The company has used actor Masanobu Takashima and soccer player Shunsuke Nakamura for publicity and television commercials.

In 2015, the store closed 40 of its stores, mostly in suburban areas, after experiencing a 50% fall in net profits.

On October 1, 2020, Yamada Denki changed its trade name to "YAMADA HOLDINGS CO., LTD." and changed to a holding company structure.

Comments
 * I nominated myself once long ago when I was much newer. I was inspired by the "this should not be a big deal" and the requirements of good faith and support of the ideals of WP. I thought, "hey" I meet all that -- so I put my hat in the ring. It immediately became clear that this is much stricter process to get through than I had realized and that I would have to have more "meat on my bones" in order to get through with at least some left once I was done getting stripped down. So, I quickly removed my former self-nomination thinking I would see how it went at some point in the future. It is now that point. Qaz  ( talk ) 05:13, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. I would like sysop so that I can more easily deal with the vandalization of pages, be able to delete pages that require it when someone duly request it for the right reasons, and of course for the worldwide fame and respect I see bestowed upon Wikipedian admins at exclusive social events.

 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I am most pleased when I am able to start a new article that we need or when I am able to help others get past something they are stuck with.

 * 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. Recently I was helping to fix the many vanalistic edits of what appeared to be a WOW incarnation. Not fun. I contacted others on user pages to get help dealing with the user. Also, I was in a debate a long time ago over what should happen to the article at Deaf but I think we were able to work it out on the talk page with only minor breaks of comity.
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page. No further edits should be made to this page.

Binding vs. Bending? en<->fr knot category links
Hello! Thanks for adding all the links between the fr and en knot categories. I'm impressed with the progress I've seen recently in the fr knotting articles. However one of the category links appears to be incorrect, the one between en:Category:Binding knots and fr:Catégorie:Nœud d'ajut. The knots in that French category appear to be bends (en:Category:Bend knots) rather than binding knots. Given the similarity between the words "bind" and "bend", perhaps that is the point of confusion. I've corrected this. However I couldn't find a fr category for binding knots, but if there is one please add the appropriate link. Regards and thanks again for your contributions. --Dfred (talk) 15:17, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Lilly Wood and the Prick

A tag has been placed on Lilly Wood and the Prick requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Awsome EBE123(talk | Contribs) 20:31, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Undid
It's quite obvious you do not know much about volcanology. I just undid your vague undos to my edits to Category:Volcanism and Category:Volcanology, simply because volcanism is a topic of volcanology and that is why I made Category:Volcanism a subcat of Category:Volcanology. Just because I left WikiProject Volcanoes dosen't mean you can go around undoing my edits. If you want proof volcanology is about more than volcanoes I suggest you read this. I understand there is lots of users on this website that just do not know what they are doing but I am not one of them. I have been studying volcanology for more than 5 years and I know what I am talking about.  Volcano guy  04:45, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

it.wiki : Call for resignations

 * it:Wikipedia:Bar/Discussioni/Comma_29_e_Wikipedia
 * it:Wikipedia:Bar/Discussioni/Sciopero:_il_punto_della_situazione

Hi, I fully agree with your idea/proposal: meta:Wikimedia_Forum.

The key point is that admins are no way allowed to apply censorship/denial of service to a part or to the whole Wikipedia without having previously:

 * fulfilled a poll to the users of the Wikipedia project
 * asked WMF for legal support and agreed about the proper thing to do

All the italian sysops that decided the motu proprio strike have betrayed the faith of the users who chose them as admins. We now have to get them resign their sysops status and, altogether, decide a proper guideline that every admin will be compelled to follow when dealing with hot topics such as the freedom of Wikipedia itself.

 * Jimbo, I understand that - dealing with italian law and politics - you support the italian style action of dramatic blanking. I don't understand why you agree with the fact that this blanking has been done without consensus: (1) Italian editors have not been proposed any poll, (2) WMF has not been asked any suggestion nor legal support. Please be sure that admins of local projects, in the future, will no more be able to perform such a denail of service without consensus with editors and WMF. ZipoBibrok5x10^8 (talk) 14:54, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

 * I am told that this was not a small group of admins, that it was discussed for a long time, and that there was strong support. However, having said that, I agree with you that in the future process should be much clearer, and actions like this should be taken in coordination with the Foundation and the wider community. One reason for that is so that we can time it to have maximum impact, give solid PR support from the Foundation, etc. This has never happened before, and we had no warning, so, you know, it's a little complicated.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 15:13, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

and moreover

 * I had a question about issue actually. I've been having a very hard time understanding how a process of discussion that even remotely resembles consensus building around this issue could have occurred while no one outside of the Italian Wikipedia was aware of it. It's just not possible unless the Italian Wikipedia is no bigger than a dozen editors. So in what manner exactly was this "under discussion in the Italian community for months," as Jimbo says? Like I said, I'm having a hard time understanding that, and maybe Jimbo or someone from the Italian Wiki can shed light on this.Griswaldo (talk) 15:07, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

 * These are good questions and I'm sure clear light will be shed on them in due course. I would love it if you would go and ask them and then report back here what you learn.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 15:16, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Talking ad Jimbonem is only a strong suggestion, but please get in touch and let's start a proper democratic - horizontal process where we will decide proper guidelines and proper reaction to this shameful event. ZipoBibrok5x10^8 (talk) 23:54, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasit | c 17:35, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited Pierre Durand, Jr., you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Christian Duguay (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Proposed deletion of Amaury Lavernhe
Hello, Thierry Caro. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Amaury Lavernhe, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Amaury Lavernhe to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

Proposed deletion of Krissy Moehl

The article Krissy Moehl has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. red dogsix (talk) 08:11, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Krissy Moehl

A tag has been placed on Krissy Moehl requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Speedy deletion nomination of Krissy Moehl

A tag has been placed on Krissy Moehl, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

Why the change to US Open of Surfing?
The US Open of Surfing article was originally U.S. Open of Surfing. That is how it is reported in the major newspaper of the area. The stylized US Open is used on the website. The MOS:US guideline indicates that U.S. is the dominant abbreviation for United States. You did not include an edit summary with your move, so will you please explain why you made the change? Thanks, Bahooka (talk) 03:33, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello . Their website uses no dot. Thierry Caro (talk) 12:44, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Historic hotels
Hi there. I notice you created w:Category:Historic Hotels of America. Why not use w:Category:Historic hotels in the United States? Magnolia677 (talk) 11:22, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello. You can have a look at Historic Hotels of America, where this explains itself. Thierry Caro (talk) 12:54, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Then why didn't you name the category "National Trust for Historic Preservation hotels"? Magnolia677 (talk) 14:38, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The National Trust for Historic Preservation has other programs into which hotels may be included. The Panama Hotel, for instance, is cited among the National Treasures but it does not appear among the Historic Hotels of America. Using the unspecific name of the Trust would thus be confusing when it comes to the intended content of the category. Thierry Caro (talk) 14:44, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * That doesn't make any sense, but ok. You linked "Category:Historic Hotels of America" to the parent w:Category:National Trust for Historic Preservation, yet you added "Category:Historic Hotels of America" to Alpenhof Lodge and other articles that don't appear to have any connection to the National Trust for Historic Preservation? Magnolia677 (talk) 15:20, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Historic Hotels of America is a program by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, so Category:Historic Hotels of America is a subcategory of Category:National Trust for Historic Preservation. And then the Alpenhof Lodge is one of the hotels that are part of the program and the article thus falls in Category:Historic Hotels of America. The logical chain is quite simple. The Alpenhof Lodge is recognized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as worth of its Historic Hotels of America standard. Thierry Caro (talk) 17:02, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

October 2018
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Alpenhof Lodge, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. This is the second time I have reverted unsourced content you have added to this article. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:00, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

 * A national forest is something different. It is a type of forest. The Forêts National Park is a specific national park, a new one, which by the way includes some national forests. Thierry Caro (talk) 00:10, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
 * OK was just checking, but you will still need to include a reference in the Forêts article, even if the reference is in French. Regards. Hughesdarren (talk) 00:14, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Forêts National Park moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Forêts National Park, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.

April 2020
Hello, I'm Cordless Larry. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:44, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The source is the NYT, added to Wikidata. Thanks for your watch. Thierry Caro (talk) 21:45, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. The information still needs to be included in the article to justify the categorisation though, I think. It's strange that none of the other obituaries I've found mention the coronavirus as the cause of death (although the NYT attribute that to his son, so I can't see it being a mistake). Cordless Larry (talk) 22:09, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I suppose the son has been debriefed by his father's medical team and the New York Times was probably the only source to bother and call the family for extra details. Whatever, I'll let you decide what to do with it. I personally think it's wise enough to assume this is correct. Thierry Caro (talk) 22:14, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * It's strange, because his death got quite a lot of attention from the BBC. Anyway, I've now used the source and re-added the category to the article. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:58, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Peaceful Valley Ranch
I noticed you recently created a French article on the ranch - I just expanded the article significantly, you're welcome to borrow from it. My wife and I were in the park in the fall of 2018, as you may have guessed from all those pictures, and it was one of our favorite places on that trip.  Acroterion   (talk)   01:33, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Do you think you could do something for me here, on the English Wikipedia? I'd like Category:National Register of Historic Places lists in the National Park Service to have each list stored into a new dedicated subcategory such as Category:National Register of Historic Places in Guadalupe Mountains National Park. We have fr:Catégorie:Registre national des lieux historiques dans un parc national on the French Wikipedia and I want its content to have interwikis. Can you help with that? I guess the tidying of the main category is also an opportunity to update the lists with possible missing entries. Thierry Caro (talk) 03:31, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Certainly, I'll work on it when I get a chance in the next couple of days.  Acroterion   (talk)   03:41, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I've started with Category:National Register of Historic Places in Acadia National Park, and populated it with the relevant sites. One thing to watch out for - some parks cover portions of more than one county, even small parks, so I stuck to modifying Category:Acadia National Park to Category:National Register of Historic Places in Acadia National Park and left Category:National Register of Historic Places in Hancock County, Maine alone. Isle au Haut is in Knox County, and while that part of the park doesn't have any NRHP listings, I want to keep the category structure rational.  Acroterion   (talk)   00:29, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for this. I hope we can have everything done eventually. Moreover, I have even more work for you! Gamlin Cabin is missing from National Register of Historic Places listings in Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks. Can you fix that, possibly? Thierry Caro (talk) 17:50, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I've been buried with work the past week, and nowadays I'm working from home, so going back in front of the computer in the evening has less charm than before. However, I'll gradually work my way through the categories and lists as I've been doing. You may want to adjust the category structure to suit your ideas on how the lists and categories should relate. And I'll see if I can get an article for the Gamlin Cabin.  Acroterion   (talk)   20:57, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Category:National Register of Historic Places lists in the National Park Service is now much better. Thank you for your help! Thierry Caro (talk) 06:35, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for finishing those up, it's a lot better now. I'd like to go through the lists and add some articles once I get past some work deadlines. I'll have a look at Gamlin Cabin.  Acroterion   (talk)   01:33, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Lyon 25

Hello, Thierry Caro. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Lyon 25".

History
Faith International University & Seminary was founded in 1969 as Faith Evangelical Lutheran Seminary by Lutherans Alert-National (LAN), an organization committed to biblical inerrancy. In 1968, the LAN was commissioned to investigate possible avenues of proclaiming historic, biblical theology because a significant part of the church was moving toward liberalism. It eventually seemed expedient to recommend the establishment of a seminary committed to the inerrant Word of God. The Rev. Dr. R. H. Redal was called as the first president and the initial classes were held September 23, 1969, in Tacoma, Washington.

Johnny Tsunami

Johnny Tsunami is a 1999 American sports drama film released as a Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM). The film focuses on a young surfer from Hawaii who must adapt to new challenges when his father's job forces the family to move to Vermont. It was nominated in 2000 for the Humanitas Prize in the Children's Live-Action Category. The film was followed by a sequel, Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board, released in 2007.

Plot
Johnny Kapahala, a thirteen-year-old boy living in Hawaii, is a surfer who has good friends and a happy family, including parents Pete and Melanie, and his paternal grandfather, the famous surf legend Johnny Tsunami. When Pete gets a sudden job transfer, the family is forced to move to Vermont, while Tsunami stays in Hawaii.

In Kapahala's new town, there are two schools: a private school where the students are skiers known as Skies; and the public school where the students are snowboarders known as Urchins. Johnny goes to the skiers' school, but would prefer to snowboard because he thinks it is more like surfing. After some difficulty, Johnny eventually learns how to snowboard with help from a new friend named Sam Sterling.

At his new school, Johnny becomes good friends with a girl named Emily, who is Headmaster Pritchard's daughter. However, a skier named Brett likes Emily too and thinks Johnny is not right for her. The Urchins ride the side of the mountain that belongs to the skiers and are confronted by the Skies. Later, Emily nearly falls off the mountainside while learning how to snowboard with Johnny and his new friends.

A fight ensues between Johnny and Brett regarding the incident, but is immediately dispersed when a snow ranger arrives. After a meeting with his parents and the headmaster concerning the fight with Brett, Sam tells Johnny that he is moving to Iceland, as are his father's orders since he is a first sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps and relocating also means a promotion to sergeant major. Pete tells Johnny that Sam moving away would be best, as he wants Johnny to fit in with his peers at private school. A fight occurs between Johnny and Pete. Johnny wishes his grandfather were there because he understands him better than Pete; however, Pete feels that Johnny Tsunami – a surf bum – is a bad influence on his son. Johnny and Sam run away from home and fly to Hawaii on a cargo plane to stay with Tsunami. Via telephone, Pete demands the boys be sent home immediately, but Tsunami refuses until they are willing to return. Melanie tells Pete her feelings about him unnecessarily punishing Johnny and tells him he needs to stop forbidding Johnny from his friends and let him snowboard. Pete tries unsuccessfully to defend his actions with Melanie, who reveals that she wishes that he could be the easy-going husband that she once loved, before he became the way he is.

Johnny and Sam enjoy surfing and the warm weather in Hawaii, but they decide to return to Vermont along with Tsunami. Pete is shocked to see his father in Vermont, and the two have a heart-to-heart talk about Pete's punishment in forbidding his son from snowboarding with his friends. Pete admits he went too far in punishing Johnny. Tsunami encourages Pete to go easy on Johnny and let him make his own mistakes so he can learn from them. Tsunami tells Pete the more he tries to punish Johnny, the more resentful he will be towards his father later in life. The next day, Johnny is amazed to learn Tsunami has great snowboarding ability, and they decide to ride the skiers' side of the mountain, where the best rides are.

Brett and his gang encounter Johnny and Tsunami, and decide to have a one-race challenge between Brett and Johnny Kapahala. If Johnny wins the race, then the skiers must share the mountain with the snowboarders. If Brett wins, then he is awarded the Tsunami Medal, a prize given to the best surfer in Hawaii. Pete encourages Johnny to win the race to keep the medal in the family. He wins the race, despite Brett's cheating attempts, allowing him and Emily to begin a relationship. Brett's friends congratulate Johnny and are inspired to learn how to snowboard with the Urchins.

Johnny's parents throw a celebration party. Brothers Randy and Ronnie, who own the opposite sides of the mountain, reveal their story as they were the original Sky and Urchin. Their parents divorced long ago and they could not agree on what should happen when they inherited the mountain after their father died 10 years earlier. The mountain was split between the two, with the Skies having the best rides. Randy and Ronnie decide to reunite the mountain and open a new shop which allows everyone access to the best slopes. The brothers thank Johnny for helping them see the error of their ways.

Isaak Dunayevsky

Isaak Osipovich Dunayevsky (Исаак Осипович Дунаевский ; also transliterated as Dunaevski or Dunaevskiy; 30 January 1900 – 25 July 1955) was a Soviet film composer and conductor of the 1930s and 1940s, who composed music for operetta and film comedies, frequently working with the film director Grigori Aleksandrov.

Biography
Dunayevsky was born to a Jewish family in Lokhvytsia in the Poltava Governorate of the Russian Empire (now Myrhorod Raion, Poltava Oblast, Ukraine) in 1900. He studied at the Kharkiv Musical School in 1910 where he studied violin under Konstanty Gorski and Joseph Achron. During this period he started to study the theory of music under Semyon Bogatyrev (1890–1960). He graduated in 1919 from the Kharkiv National Kotlyarevsky University of Arts. At first he was a violinist, the leader of the orchestra in Kharkov. Then he started a conducting career. In 1924 he went to Moscow to run the Theatre Hermitage. In 1929 he worked for the first time for a music hall ("To the icy place") with the Moscow music hall. Later, he worked in Leningrad (1929–1941) as a director and conductor of the Saint Petersburg Music Hall (1929–34), and then moved to Moscow to work on his own operettas and film music.

Dunayevsky wrote 14 operettas, 3 ballets, 3 cantatas, 80 choruses, 80 songs and romances, music for 88 plays and 42 films, 43 compositions for light music orchestra and 12 for jazz orchestra, 17 melodeclamations, 52 compositions for symphony orchestra and 47 piano compositions and a string quartet.

He was one of the first composers in the Soviet Union to start using jazz. He wrote the music for three of the most important films of the pre-war Stalinist era, Jolly Fellows, Circus and the film said to be Stalin's favorite film Volga-Volga, all directed by Grigori Aleksandrov.

In a reply to the British book The World of Music, he listed the following as his chief works: The Golden Valley operetta (1937), The Free Wind operetta (1947), and music to the films Circus (1935) and The Kuban Cossacks (1949).

He died of a heart attack in Moscow in 1955. His last piece, the operetta White Acacia (1955), was left unfinished at his death. It was completed by Kirill Molchanov and staged on 15 November 1955, in Moscow.

A previously unknown opera libretto Rachel (1943) by Mikhail Bulgakov, was later found in his archive. The libretto was based on Guy de Maupassant's Mademoiselle Fifi and was published in a book by Naum Shafer (see references and links below).

A book of his essays and memoirs was published in 1961.

Honors
Dunayevsky was named a People's Artist of the RSFSR in 1950. He was twice awarded the Stalin Prize (1941, 1951) and received two orders and many medals (including Order of the Red Banner of Labour, Order of the Red Star, and Order of the Badge of Honour).

Family
His brother Semyon (1906–1986) was a conductor; another brother, Zinovy (1908–1981), was a composer.

Dunayevsky was married once. He had a son Yevgeny (b. 1932) by his wife Zinaida Sudeikina, and another son Maksim (b. 1945) by his lover, the ballerina Zoya Pashkova (1922—30.01.1991). Maksim is also a well-known composer.

The American journalist Vladislav Davidzon is a descendent of the composer.

The American drag performer Plane Jane (Andrew Dunayevskiy), who appeared on Season 16 of RuPaul's Drag Race, is a distant relative of Dunayevsky.

You Lucky Dog

You Lucky Dog is a 1998 American television fantasy comedy film directed by Paul Schneider and starring Kirk Cameron. It first aired as a Disney Channel Original Movie on June 27, 1998.

Plot
Jack Morgan is a dog therapist, once famous for being able to read his dog's mind. Although Jack cannot read the minds of other dogs, he still operates a canine mind-reading business, without divulging his inability to customers. Mr. Mooney and his wife bring their dog to see Jack. Dissatisfied with Jack's inability to read his dog's mind, Mr. Mooney, who is a friend of the city mayor, threatens to have his business closed down. After the Mooneys leave, a wealthy man named Clyde Windsor brings his dog, Lucky, to see Jack, who is stunned by his ability to read the dog's mind. He seems worried by this fact and ends the session early. Before Windsor leaves, Jack informs him that Lucky is bothered by three individuals that live with him.

Two weeks later, the city closes down Jack's business. Simultaneously, Windsor's personal driver, Calvin Bridges, informs Jack that Windsor has died. Windsor's lawyer, Allison Kent, reads Windsor's will to his niece and two nephews: Margaret, Lyle, and Rueben. The will reveals that the three individuals receive next to nothing from the estate of Windsor, who chose Lucky to inherit his money and mansion. Jack meets with Allison and is informed that he is Windsor's chosen trustee for Lucky's $64 million trust fund. Jack agrees to move into the mansion and become Lucky's new owner, as required by the trust fund, thus forcing Lyle, Margaret and Rueben to move out.

Windsor's relatives meet with Mr. Phister, a greedy lawyer who will only take the case to trial for 30 percent of the money in their uncle's trust fund. Windsor's relatives, who are used to living a luxurious lifestyle, instead plot to regain the mansion and to become the trustees of the trust fund on their own. One night, Jack begins acting like a dog after Lucky becomes overly excited about dog bones he had buried in the mansion's backyard. Jack joins Lucky in his search for bones, and later tears up furniture with Lucky, scaring away the mansion's two maids with his dog-like behavior. The morning after this incident, Jack explains to Calvin that when Lucky becomes too excited, he takes over Jack´s body and Jack ¨becomes¨ Lucky. Later that day, to help Lucky get over the death of his owner, Jack and Calvin take him to a local shopping mall. At the mall's pet store, Jack signs additional paperwork for Allison and also meets her daughter, Nicole, who wants to buy a puppy. However, Allison tells her daughter that their apartment is not a suitable living environment for a puppy. In the mall's food court, Lucky becomes excited at the scent of food. Jack's mind once again transforms into that of Lucky’s. Jack and Lucky devour leftover food on tables and inside a trash bin.

After numerous failed attempts, Windsor's relatives agree to Phister's expensive offer to take the case to trial and have Jack declared mentally incompetent. At the courthouse, Jack demonstrates his connection to Lucky by getting him excited and demonstrating that when Lucky controls his body, he can identify objects that he cannot see, but Lucky can. Jack discovers through Lucky's thoughts that Lyle likely poisoned his uncle. Lyle threatens the courtroom with a gun after Jack accuses him of murdering his uncle. Lucky knocks Lyle over, and he is arrested along with Margaret and Rueben. At the mansion, Jack reveals to Allison and her daughter that he purchased all of the dogs at the mall's pet store, at Lucky's request. Among the dogs that will live at the mansion is a puppy for Nicole and a female companion for Lucky.

Production
Filming took place in March 1998, and was scheduled to last 27 days. Kirk Cameron had read the film's script a couple years earlier, and brought it to Disney Channel, which chose to produce it. Filming locations included Canoga Park, a neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. The film's budget was $4 million.

On March 10, 1998, during its sixth day of filming in Canoga Park, approximately 50 crew members halted production when they protested for union membership. Filming resumed after two hours of discussions that resulted in full union status for the crew members. The role of Lucky was portrayed by Bogus, a Saint Bernard-Golden Retriever mix. Cameron's wife, Chelsea Noble, also plays a role in the film. Cameron had to wear elbow pads and knee pads during scenes that required him to run like a dog.

Reception
In May 2016, Aubrey Page of Collider ranked each of the 99 Disney Channel Original Movies released up to that point. Page ranked You Lucky Dog at the bottom of the list, writing, "There's not a clear message here honestly, and though it's only been a few days since I've watched this one, it already only exists in my mind under the file: 'Kirk Cameron Eats a Couch.' So that's something."

Awards
In 1999 the original song "Togetherness" was nominated for a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Music and Lyrics, David Michael Frank (composer) and Todd Smallwood (lyricist).

Earl Gillespie

Earl William Gillespie Jr. (July 25, 1922 – December 12, 2003) was an American sportscaster, best known as the radio voice of Major League Baseball's Milwaukee Braves from 1953 to 1963. Before 1953, he was the play-by-play announcer for the minor league Milwaukee Brewers (American Association), an affiliate of the Braves, who moved to Toledo, Ohio, when the Braves moved from Boston to Milwaukee.

A baseball player in high school in Chicago at Lane Tech, he played minor-league professional baseball briefly for the Green Bay Bluejays before becoming a Wisconsin sports broadcaster.

Gillespie was partnered with Blaine Walsh on WTMJ Radio and known for his dramatic, extroverted style of play-by-play, including exclaiming "...and the pass iiiizzCAUGHT!" during a successful football pass completion (conversely, a failed pass attempt met with "...and the pass iiiizz INNcomplete!"), and his use of the phrase "Holy cow!" during moments of great excitement (an on-air catchphrase he shared with fellow baseball announcers Halsey Hall, Harry Caray and Phil Rizzuto).

Gillespie called both of the Braves' World Series appearances in Milwaukee (1957, 1958) over NBC radio, as well as the 1955 All-Star Game (played in Milwaukee) over Mutual radio. At various times he also did radio and television commentary for Green Bay Packers football, Milwaukee Hawks basketball, Marquette Warriors basketball, and Wisconsin Badgers football. He worked at WITI-TV in Milwaukee from 1963 until his retirement in 1985.

Gillespie was named Wisconsin Sportscaster of the Year eight times by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, and was inducted into the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001.

Earl's son John Sr., and grandson John Jr. also were Wisconsin sportscasters, with the younger John Gillespie leaving WBAY-TV in Green Bay in late July 2010.

Play-by-play highlights
On September 23, 1957, Gillespie described the Braves' capture of the National League pennant this way:

"The pitch to Henry Aaron. A swing and a drive back into center field! Going back towards the wall! It's back at that fence....and is it gone or not? It's a home run! The Braves are the champions of the National League! Henry Aaron has just hit his forty-third home run of the year!"

On October 10, 1957, Gillespie's description of the Braves' World Series win:

"The outfield around to the left. McDougald is on at third, Coleman is at second. Tommy Byrne the base runner at first. Hank Aaron is pulled around in left-center field. A breeze is blowing across from left to right. Burdette's pitch. Swung on, lined, grabbed by Mathews who steps on third--and the World Series is over and the Milwaukee Braves are the new world champions of baseball!"

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called L9. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name L9~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:15, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 15:13, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
