Image Tagging Image:Sindi-Watts Marisa-Warrington-2002.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sindi-Watts Marisa-Warrington-2002.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use  .)  See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have tagged them, too. Note that any unsourced and untagged imaged will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Sherool 00:27, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

About image tagging
Hi again. Thanks for tagging your images, I suspect however you have misunderstood how copyrights work. Some of the images you have uploaded looks very much like screenshots from a TV series or movie. These are copyrighted and even if you "take" the picture you can't release it under {{GFDL-self}} unless you actualy own the copyrights for the movie or tv-series the frame is copied from. Such images can still be used, but under fair use, not GFDL. If you actualy do own the copyright for those images then my apologies, but if you do then you need to provide a bit more "proof" on the image description page, in fact the more information you provide on the image the better (regardles of it's copyright status), there are a lot of poorly in incorectly tagged images (tens of thousands) on the Wikipedia and a lot of then can in a worst case scenario lead to a lawsuit again the Wikimedia foundation (quite unlikely, but the risk is there), so the less information you provide on the source and status of your images the more likely it is that will eventualy be deleted "just in case". It's a pain in the neck I know, but it needs to be done. Thanks again. --Sherool 18:37, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Adding images to articles
When adding images into an article, don't forgot to add the thumb syntax. For example:

Image:Lori-Lee Michelle-Ang-2002-2003.jpg has been listed as a possibly unfree image

 * Why did you delete the templates from this image? Your edit summary was "del" — did you want the image deleted? --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 13:02, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Blocked for copyright fraud
You uploaded the image Image:David-Bishop Kevin-Harrington-2003.jpg (since deleted), a screenshot from a television series, claiming to be the creator of the image and claiming to release it under GFDL. These claims are false on their face. You have therefore been blocked for 72 hours for copyright fraud. If you do this again, you will be blocked permanently. Kelly Martin 14:42, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

external links to your website
Please do not mass-add links to your website to Wikipedia. This practice is frowned-upon, and is often considered spamming. I have kept your links and images (reformatted, per Wikipedia style) where useful, but deleted your changes where I feel they were harmful to the pages concerned. Please do not re-add your links, and please do not attempt to mass-add links to Wikipedia again. If you do so, you will be blocked (again). --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 18:17, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Missing source information
The following images

 * Image:Helen-Daniels.jpg
 * Image:Oscar-Scully Ingo-Dammer-Smith-2004.jpg

are missing source and proper licensing information. You cannot release content you do not own under the GFDL, and I strongly believe you do not own these images. Please be aware that Wikipedia takes a very firm line in dealing with copyright infringing material, as the Wikimedia Foundation cannot afford any legal hassle arising from such.

These images have now been tagged as having no source information, and removed from any articles they are used in, per policies. Please be advised that these images will be deleted in 7 days as part of our criteria for speedy deletion.

Image:Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan.jpg
I'm sorry, but Image:Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan.jpg does not qualify as a screenshot for the purposes of United States fair use law.

Fair use rationale needed
Please provide fair use rationale for the following images:

 * Image:Michelle-Ang-2002-2003.jpg
 * Image:Joe-Mangel Mark-Little -1988-1991.jpg
 * Image:Karl-Kennedy Alan-Fletcher-1994.jpg
 * Image:Connor-O'Neill Patrick-Harvey.jpg
 * Image:Sindi Watts Marisa Warrington.jpg
 * Image:Janelle-Timmins Nell-Feeney-2005.jpg
 * Image:Terence Donovan.jpg
 * Image:Paul-Robinson Stefan-Dennis-1985-1993-2005.jpg
 * Image:Carla-Bonner.jpg
 * Image:Stephanie-Scully Carla-Bonner-1999.jpg
 * Image:Lance-Wilkinson Andrew-Bibby.jpg
 * Image:Izzy-natalie basinthwaighte.jpg
 * Image:Lyn-Scully Janet-Andrewartha.jpg
 * Image:Joel-Samuels Daniel-MacPherson.jpg
 * Image:CHERYL STARK Caroline Gillmer.jpg
 * Image:Cheryl-Stark Colette-Mann.jpg

You should be aware that if a rationale is not provided correctly, then the fair use will not be valid, and the images will need to be deleted.

Suggestion
Might I suggest you review

 * Image use policy
 * Fair use

and avoid uploading any further images until you understand our policies on this clearly? Thank you. Rob Church Talk 21:06, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Cathy-1993.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Cathy-1993.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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. --OrphanBot 09:09, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Philip Martin Christopher Milne, Ian Rawlings-1992-1999.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Philip Martin Christopher Milne, Ian Rawlings-1992-1999.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Longhair 11:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Image:Stuart-Parker Blair-McDonough-2001.jpg listed for deletion
An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:Stuart-Parker Blair-McDonough-2001.jpg, has been listed at Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Unspecified source for Image:Anne-Wilkinson Brooke-Satchwell-1996-2000.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Anne-Wilkinson Brooke-Satchwell-1996-2000.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 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. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:06, 22 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Longhair\talk 02:06, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Toadie.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Toadie.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Non-free use disputed for Image:Bobby-Hoyland Andrew-McFarlane-2005.jpg

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:17, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Anne-Wilkinson Brooke-Satchwell-1996-2000.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Anne-Wilkinson Brooke-Satchwell-1996-2000.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Philip-Martin Ian-Rawlings-1992-1999-5.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Philip-Martin Ian-Rawlings-1992-1999-5.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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 hangon 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. 5 albert square (talk) 01:16, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Category talk:Cabinet of the United States

Untitled
Is it just me, or is this page almost unreadable? It would seem that a listing of cabinet offices could look a lot tighter. I'm a new Wikipedian, and I wouldn't know where to start with this, but I find this page really weak. Unschool 19:28, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Please sign your comments on article talk pages too. :) A Category page is an automatically generated page.  Someone added Category:U.S. Executive Cabinet to the bottom of each of the articles and subcategories listed on this category page and the wiki software created the list on this category page by picking up on all those links.  So there is not much you can do to enhance the layout of the page.  You can read more at Help:Category if you really want to wade through the details of categories, but I wouldn't bother, you will pick it up quickly anyway.

Talk:Sally Yeh

a dedicated Badminton fan
Starting from June 11, 2005, Sally spent most of her time in Golden Gate Badminton Club in Menlo Park, CA. She had been running business at the reception desk there since its grand opening few months back. In certain public events, she openly plugged that sport club such as selling the club's T-shirt with her autograph. She said that she is NOT a partner/Stock holder of that business. However, her dedication and time spent there is beyond what an employee nor sport fan would normally do. Kowloonese 23:19, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

As it is very common for Chinese that grew up in the West to not be able to read Chinese fluently, I am wondering whether we should slim down that section (significantly). Thoughts?

Roberto Peccei

Roberto Daniele Peccei (January 6, 1942 – June 1, 2020) was a theoretical particle physicist whose principal interests lay in the area of electroweak interactions and in the interface between particle physics and physical cosmology. He was most known for formulating the Peccei–Quinn theory (with Helen Quinn), which attempts to resolve the strong CP problem in particle physics.

Peccei was a vice chancellor for research at the University of California, Los Angeles between 2000 and 2010.

Early life and education
The son of Aurelio Peccei (founder of the Club of Rome), Roberto Peccei was born in 1942 in Torino, Italy. He completed his secondary school in Argentina, and came to the United States in 1958 to pursue his university studies in physics. He obtained a B.S. from MIT in 1962, and M.S. from New York University (NYU) in 1964 and a Ph.D. from the MIT Center for Theoretical Physics in 1969.

Career
After a brief period of postdoctoral work at the University of Washington, he joined the faculty of Stanford University in 1971, where (with Helen Quinn) he originated Peccei–Quinn theory, still the most famous proposed solution to the strong CP problem. In 1978, he returned to Europe as a staff member of the Max Planck Institute in Munich, Germany. He joined the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) Laboratory in Hamburg, Germany, as the head of the Theoretical Group in 1984. He returned to the United States in 1989, joining the faculty of the Department of Physics at UCLA. Soon thereafter, he became chair of the department, a position he held until becoming dean of the division of physical sciences of the College of Letters and Sciences in 1993.

Until his death in June 2020, Peccei was on the editorial board of Nuclear Physics B Supplement, and the Journal of Physics G. He was a member of the Club of Rome, a trustee of the World Academy of Art and Science and president of the Fondazione Aurelio Peccei and he was a Fellow of both the American Physical Society and the Institute of Physics in the United Kingdom. In the last 15 years, he served on numerous advisory boards both in Europe and in the U.S. He chaired both the scientific advisory board for the Laboratory for Nuclear Science at Cornell University and the visiting committee for the Laboratory of Nuclear Science at MIT. He also was a member of the visiting committee for the Department of Physics at MIT and was the convener of the vice chancellor for Research Council in the University of California.

Julie Berman

Julie Marie Berman (born November 3, 1983) is an American actress. She is known for her role as Lulu Spencer on the ABC Daytime soap opera General Hospital, for which she received three Daytime Emmy Awards, and for her role on the Golden Globe nominated Hulu comedy series Casual as Leia, Valerie's receptionist.

Early life
Berman was born to Peter and Renée Berman in Los Angeles, California. She started acting at the age of six.

Career
Berman made her television debut with the recurring role in the WB family drama series, 7th Heaven as the misunderstood Shelby Connor, a friend of Lucy Camden. Berman continued her role on 7th Heaven, while simultaneously adding a recurring role in the ABC drama Once and Again. She also guest-starred on ER and Boston Public, and starred alongside Shelley Long in the 1999 television movie Vanished Without a Trace.

2005–13; General Hospital
Berman is best known for her role as Lulu Spencer, the stubborn, troubled daughter of Luke and Laura Spencer, in the ABC daytime soap opera General Hospital. She made her first appearance on October 28, 2005. The casting immediately garnered much attention due to Berman's strong resemblance to Genie Francis who played Laura; Lulu and Laura's strong resemblance was often mentioned within the series. In July 2012, Berman informed producers that she had no plans of renewing her contract when it expired in November. Despite no official word from ABC or Berman, rumors began to circulate that Berman was about to vacate the role. After months of speculation, on February 26, 2013, an issue of Soaps In Depth confirmed that Berman was indeed leaving the series and had just filmed her final scenes.

Berman earned her first Daytime Emmy nomination in 2007, and won her first Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Younger Actress in 2009. She won her second consecutive Emmy in 2010 in the same category. Berman departed her role as Lulu in 2013, and was replaced by The Young and the Restless actress Emme Rylan In 2013, Berman won her third Emmy, but in the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress category.

2013–present
After leaving daytime television, Berman guest-starred on prime time comedy series include Two and a Half Men and Jane the Virgin. In 2015, she began the recurring role opposite Michaela Watkins and Frances Conroy in the Hulu comedy series, Casual. She was promoted to series regular for second season. Later that year, Berman joined the cast of NBC medical drama Chicago Med, playing the recurring role of Dr. Samantha "Sam" Zanetti.

Personal life
Berman graduated with a bachelor's degree in Television and Cinema from the University of Southern California in May 2006. While at the university she was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.

Berman married Michael Grady on August 15, 2008. The couple welcomed their first child, son Asher Dean Grady on February 18, 2019. Their second child, son Holden Jeffrey Grady was born on January 18, 2022.

This article is quite poor. I have had severe GHD all my life, and I know that there is much missing from this article that is highly relevant. I will try to come up with, and offer for consideration, a revised text. 80.6.30.24 23:26, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Welcome. I agree with edits you have added today, but you might consider the likely expectation you create in the minds of those of us who put a lot of time into writing this article when you arrive with the above announcement. Is this a "drive-by insult" or are you planning to contribute constructively? If the latter, my suggestions would be: alteripse 09:46, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Create an account and log in with a user name; this takes about 1 minute, is easy, and free. While actually more anonymous (since it hides your IP), it facilitates conversation. A high percentage of people who work repeatedly on a single article without creating a user name do not have constructive purposes or methods; people with names get a little more respect here because you can build a reputation.
 * Regardless of what you may think of it, this article was put together with care, effort, and expertise. If you make large changes without discussion here, they may be reverted even if parts of the changes are valid.
 * Understand that the purpose of an encyclopedia article is to give information balanced by probability. Your experience is a valuable perspective, but be careful that you don't consider your own experience universal.
 * Part of the balance is simply the surrounding structure. Did you note that in the list of causes, a single, generally most common, example was given? Your addition of a second cause, while valid, breaks the pattern of the paragraph. Does it add anything to the sentence to have two examples instead of one? Should we have an organized list of over a hundred causes? That might be useful, but we would have to separate it for size reasons from this article, maybe as Causes of growth hormone deficiency and hypopituitarism. Click on the red title and start the list if you wish.

I was diagnosed with this condition as an infant, and I find that this article is very accurate. I have hypoglycemia as well as some of the other conditions discussed. I was part of the research study that pioneered the "synthetic" GH available today. I appreciate your thoroughness in compiling this article. Fotesaba (talk) 18:22, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to add my second in in that this article is lacking about Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency. Most papers used to make up the content are a decade or more old. I don't have the background to do an update justice, but I though I'd make mention that I'm also finding this page lacking based on reading numerous papers published within the past 5 years.

Rug hooking

Rug hooking is both an art and a craft where rugs are made by pulling loops of yarn or fabric through a stiff woven base such as burlap, linen, or rug warp. The loops are pulled through the backing material by using a crochet-type hook mounted in a handle (usually wood) for leverage. In contrast latch-hooking uses a hinged hook to form a knotted pile from short, pre-cut pieces of yarn.

Wool strips ranging in size from 3/32 to 10/32 of an inch (2 to 8 mm) in width are often used to create hooked rugs or wall hangings. These precision strips are usually cut using a mechanical cloth slitter; however, the strips can also be hand-cut or torn. When using the hand-torn technique the rugs are usually done in a primitive motif.

Designs for the rugs are often commercially produced and can be as complex as flowers or animals to as simple as geometrics. Rug-hooking has been popular in North America for at least the past 200 years.

History of rug hooking
The author William Winthrop Kent believed that the earliest forebears of hooked rugs were the floor mats made in Yorkshire, England, during the early part of the 19th century. Workers in weaving mills were allowed to collect thrums, pieces of yarn that ran 9 in long. These by-products were useless to the mill, and the weavers took them home and pulled the thrums through a backing. The origins of the word thrum are ancient, as Mr. Kent pointed out a reference in Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor. However, in the publication "Rag Rug Making" by Jenni Stuart-Anderson, ISBN 978-1-900371-53-7, Stuart-Anderson states that the most recent research indicates "...the technique of hooking woolen loops through a base fabric was used by the Vikings, whose families probably brought it to Scotland." To add to this there are sound examples at the Folk Museum in Guernsey, Channel Islands, that early rag rugs made in the same manner were produced off the coast of France as well.

Rug hooking as we know it today may have developed in North America, specifically along the Eastern Seaboard in New England in the United States, the Canadian Maritimes, and Newfoundland and Labrador. In its earliest years, rug hooking was a craft of poverty. The vogue for floor coverings in the United States came about after 1830 when factories produced machine-made carpets for the rich. Poor women began looking through their scrap bags for materials to employ in creating their own home-made floor coverings. Women employed whatever materials they had available. Girls from wealthy families were sent to school to learn embroidery and quilting; fashioning floor rugs and mats was never part of the curriculum. Another sign that hooking was the pastime of the poor is the fact that popular ladies magazines in the 19th century never wrote about rug hooking. It was considered a country craft in the days when the word country, used in this context, was derogatory. Today, rug hooking has been labeled in Canada as a fine art and has gained a much wider respect across the world.

Since hooking was a craft of poverty, rug makers put to use whatever materials were available. Antique hooked rugs were created on burlap after 1850 because burlap was readily available as grain and feed bags. Fiber and fabric that was no longer suitable for clothing was often incorporated into rugs. In the United States, yarn was not a fiber of choice if one did not have access to thrums. Yarn was too precious, and had to be saved for knitting and weaving. Instead the tradition of using scraps of fabric evolved. However, New England was the site of the development of preprinted designs on burlap, indicating a shift in the status of rug hooking, at least for some. While preprinted embroidery patterns had long existed, it was Philena Moxley of Lowell, Massachusetts who first developed a business stamping embroidery and rug hooking designs about 1868-1871. At about the same time, Edward Sands Frost of Maine developed a successful rug kit making business catering to women in Northern New England. The industrial revolution was providing people with more free time to read about hooking and other past-times in magazines and catalogs, and to enjoy engaging in them. Hand-hooked rugs were now being seen as providing some elegance in the home.

Yarns, fabrics, and other materials have always been used for hooked rugs in the Canadian Maritimes. The well-known Cheticamp hooked rugs used finely spun yarns and the highly collectible Grenfell mats were meticulously hooked with recycled jerseys. Everything from cotton T-shirts to silk and nylon stockings were cut and used.

The Grenfell Mission had set standards for hooking with silk stockings as early as 1916. Pearl McGown, working at first under the tutelage of Caroline Saunders in the 1930s, has been credited with saving the craft from disappearing in the United States. McGown popularized guidelines for fine shading with wool using various dye methods, and formalized the study of rug hooking. In 1950, after an especially informative week of rug hooking with 15 other rug hooking teachers, McGown was approached to organize teachers' workshop to further the study of the art, exchange ideas, and pass on techniques. In 1951, hooked rug teachers came together for the first of what became an annual McGown Teacher Workshop. These workshops exclusively used McGown's own patterns, in recognition of the work and time McGown spent each year on maintaining the program. This tradition lives on through the Pearl K. McGown Teacher Certification and Workshop Program, now sponsored by Honey Bee Hive Rug Hooking Patterns & Supplies. Many well-known hooked rug designers and teachers have passed through the McGown certification program, including Joan Moshimer, Jane Olson, Gene Shephard, Eric Sandberg, Jane Nevins, Gail Dufresne, and Michelle Miccarelli.

Rug-hooking tools
In the 1930s the handicraft of rug hooking spread to Denmark, where it flourished. In 1939, Ernst Thomsen of Hjørring invented a handheld tool which sped up the hooking process making it possible to create large carpets in a reasonable length of time. Due to this faster process, rug hookers were less likely to run into physical problems with their arms, hands and shoulders. The tool was initially marketed in 1949 under the name Aladdin Carpet Needle. A decade later, the name was changed to the Danella Rug Hooking Tool.

Rug hooking today
In more recent decades hookers have followed quilters in exploring new materials and new techniques. This experimentation, combined with knowledge and respect for the past, will allow rug hooking to evolve and grow in the 21st century. Rug hooking today has evolved into two genres, which primarily fall into groups based upon the width of the wool strip employed to create a rug: fine hooking and primitive hooking.

Fine hooking, in general, uses strips of wool measuring 1/32 to 5/32 of an inch wide. Designs of the fine-cut hooking genre use more fine shading accomplished by overdyeing wool in graduated color swatches. Primitive (or wide-cut) hooking uses wool strips measuring 6/32 up to 1/2-inch wide. The wide-cut hooking accomplishes shading and highlights using textures in wool, such as plaids, checks, herringbones, etc. Wide-cut designs are generally less detailed and mimic the naivety of rug hookers of the past. There are many well-known designers of commercial rug patterns and each exhibit their own distinct style and techniques. Some designers specialize in animals or whimsical subjects, others use specific and identifiable dyeing techniques, while others adapt antique rugs for today's rug hookers or employ various tools to achieve their chosen subject matter within their designs. In addition to the many commercially available patterns, many rug hookers are creating their own design patterns. Today's great Modern Folk Rug Hookers include; Norma Batastini, NJ; Cheryl Bollenbach, CO; Maggie Bonanomi, MO; Barbara Carroll, PA; Gail Dufresne, NJ;Carla Fortney, CA; Sally Van Nuys OH; Jayne Hester, NY; Cynthia Norwood, TX; Deanne Fitzpatrick, NS; Cindi Gay, Pemberville, OH; etc. There are many people like Magdalena Briner who made creative and original rugs.

ATHA, The Association of Traditional Hooking Artists, was formed by a group of women who felt the rules of the McGown Workshops (I.e. only original designs, McGown Patterns, CHARCO & PRIMCO DESIGNS are allowed at the workshop rug show), too restrictive and chose to form an alternative. In recent years, ATHA's leadership reflects the importance of bringing together the most interested and dedicated people to encourage and support advanced creative efforts. Attempts to create an ATHA teacher training program were met with tepid enthusiasm. The McGown Program allows for instructors to form a solid basis to move on to creating at the level that is seen consistently in the pages of the newly revamped ATHA Newsletter.

There are countless annual exhibitions around the world displaying rug hooking. A forthcoming one is "Hooked Between Two Islands" The History of the Hooked Rug Between Newfoundland and Guernsey. The exhibition is scheduled for 2011 at the Guernsey Folk and Costume Museum, Guernsey, Channel Islands sponsored by The National Trust of Guernsey and the Canadian Portrait Academy. A permanent collection of hooked rugs by Patty Yoder is currently installed at the Shelburne Museum in Vermont.

There is a rug show held annually at Sauder Village in Archbold, Ohio that displays hundreds of rugs for one week in August each year. In 2016 there are 825 rugs on display, including a special exhibition to honor Pearl McGown. The 2023 Rug Hooking week at the Sauder Village is expecting to have around 700 fiber art pieces.

In the 1980s, Canadian artist Nancy Edell, discovered rug-hooking after moving to Nova Scotia, located on Canada's east coast. She introduced traditional rug-hooking into her surrealist, feminist art practice, using the medium to explore ideas of feminist utopia, and the gendering of space. She became one of many female artists (see Miriam Shapiro, Joyce Wieland) at the time to use what had been considered "feminine arts" to explore and deconstruct the male dominated hierarchy of fine art.

Latch hooking
A latch hook is both the tool and the textile art of latch hooking. Latch hooking differs from traditional rug hooking and locker hooking by the physical knotting of the yarn to canvas. Latch hook was invented in the nineteenth century with the latch needle, in the twentieth century the latch needle underwent numerous variations, including the hand tool used by artisans and crafters to produce latch hook rugs. While rug hooking uses a base fabric of burlap or hessian, latch hooking uses specially woven rug canvas. Rug canvases range from 3.3 holes per inch (hpi) to 5 hpi. The pattern may be stencilled onto the canvas or worked from a chart similar to a needlepoint pattern. Latch hook yarns may be bought pre-cut (usually 2.5 inch lengths) or in skeins and cut to the desired length. In his book "The Hooked Rug," published in 1930, American writer William Winthrop Kent describes a form of rugmaking "A canvas is used like cross-stitch canvas only coarser, which has every third mesh a large one. It is held on the knee or on a table. The pieces of wool yarn are cut exactly the same length by a gauge. The hook used has a catch or latch on it and is inserted in one hole and out the next in the next row, as follows: The wool is held in the left hand and above the canvas, then doubled and the double end is slipped over the hook, the catch being up or open. The hook is then drawn out through the canvas toward the worker, the cut ends being kept in the left hand. The catch by this action drops down and secures the wool. The tool is next pushed forward through the wool loop and catches the two ends held in the left hand, then the loop is held in the left hand and has the two ends pulled through it with the hook. To pull out hook and draw tight the two cut ends finishes the knot. This is really a pile fabric and is known as a Turkey Rug but sprang from the hooking process as the earlier hook used was of the crochet hook form."

During the 1930s, latch-hooked wool rugs became popular and written guidelines helped standardise the craft. The heyday of latch-hooking with yarn in Britain was just after the second World War and dominated by several companies based near the textile mills in the north of England. Latch hooking was one of the activities available to convalescing soldiers, hospital patients and care home residents. Women's Institutes got discounts on bulk-buys and made rugs for sale. In the 1970s and 1980s, synthetic yarns and wool/synthetic blends became popular, but rug-making was entering a decline due to the availability of cheap imported rugs and to decreasing leisure time. In Britain, the best-known latch-hook company was Readicut (their rug kits were marketed through Shillcraft in North America). Patons and Baldwin invented the rotary "Patwin" wool cutter, but Readicut went a stage further and sold their yarn in pre-cut bundles.

Latch hook tool
The latch hook tool traces its origin to the invention of the latch needle. Invented in 1847, the latch needle was part of a knitting machine that wrapped yarn around the latch and pushed through a canvas before pulling it through and knotting the yarn to the canvas. In the 1920s, the tool was created by combining the hand hook with the latch. Latch hooks are available in different sizes. You can have a regular sized latch hook that's suitable for use with interlock rug canvas and a finer latch hook which can be used for Sudan canvas. Modern crafters also use rug gauge tools to cut yarn and fabric strips to equal lengths.

Other uses
The latch hook can be used a replacement for the yarn needle in crochet, but this is niche usage. The latch hook tool can also be used in the care and maintenance of dreadlocks, with the tool being used to tighten the hair after showering or swimming.

Possession (video game)

Possession was a vaporware video game, intended for release for seventh-generation video game consoles. The story would have followed a man turned into a zombie via exposure to experimental chemicals from a laboratory into which he had broken. Retaining his intelligence, he sets out on a mission to destroy the Prometheus Corporation which made the chemicals. To do this, he amasses a vast number of zombie warriors to take control of the futuristic Restoration City, headquarters of the shadowy Prometheus Corporation. The game was designed primarily as a real-time strategy title, wherein the player commanded their zombie army directly and makes tactical use of special unit types to achieve objectives. There was also planned to be online play where one player sends waves of zombies into the city, while several other players have to fight them off.

While not officially cancelled, updates on the game's development ceased in 2006. In response to several questions about Possession, Blitz/Volatile sent out the same message to any person who requested the status of the game.

"Hi there, Thanks for your interest in Possession. Unfortunately we still haven't managed to secure a publisher to take on the project. We haven't given up on Possession completely, we want to see it made as much as you do. We are pursuing other games at the moment though. Best regards, PR Dept, Volatile Games"

The website www.youhavebeenpossessed.com, formerly the game's homepage, was abandoned and later purchased by a completely different organization.

In a 2019 retrospective interview with Volatile Games' co-founder about the development of Reservoir Dogs, he revealed that Possession was originally pitched to Bandai Namco but they refused to fund it due to it being "very expensive". They instead invited Volatile to work on a pitch for a new Dead to Rights game that would eventually become Dead to Rights: Retribution.

Talk:Vanna White

Croatian?
Rosic is a Croatian name, but on this site, it says she's of Spanish, Italian and German descent. So, it is possible that her grand father was a German with a Croatian name, (croatian ancestry), who knows how distant this is.

Christopher George?
I'm changing the wording in this section. There's nothing to corroborate any relationship between Vanna White and Christopher George, but according to her, that's what her mother told her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stembark (talk • contribs) 19:29, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

I assume this sentence "According to White, although George was not a biological relation of hers, her mother grew up with his family and, years later in Los Angeles, he and his wife took her under their wing." means they took Vanna White under their wing and not her mother but it isn't clear. 94.126.214.30 (talk) 17:02, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Preview Photo
Please see how VW's photo is presented in a preview pane.

For example, go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Didn%27t_Start_the_Fire and hover over her name.

I'm only seeing her torso.

Incomplete sentence
It looks like someone's added this incomplete sentence to the "Television, motion picture, and other media appearances" section:

 * Goddess of Love, in which she played Venus; Betsy Palmer co-starred as Juno; it scored 12% of the Audience Vote on Rotten Tomatoes.

I don't know what it means, or I'd fix it. – AndyFielding (talk) 08:59, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Christopher George
Her book "Vanna Speaks" indicates that Vanna's mother got to know George by working at a Myrtle Beach restaurant owned by George's parents (p. 26). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stembark (talk • contribs) 02:32, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Novelty Record
I have a four-album set of hourly radio programs dated September 1986 for a show called John Lander's Hit Music USA. On one album, the show introduces a novelty song by Vanna White in the style of "Telephone Man" by Meri Wilson, about her encounter with a meter reader. It might even be a remake of another Wilson novelty song called "Peter the Meter Reader". I cannot find anything on the Internet about this song. Any Vanna White fans out there know anything about it? She was already on the Wheel of Fortune when it was released. Shocking Blue (talk) 10:15, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
