Talk:UAAP basketball championships

Untitled
I dispute the 1991-1992 entry for Juniors. I was in UPIS at that time and don't remember anything of the sort happening. Can anyone check this?

I can't find enough sources for the Juniors list. I only have the list since 1978 (the year Ateneo entered the UAAP). Also, I deleted the 2004 Seniors entry due to the recent controversies. La Salle is sure to forfeit that title anyway. Circa 1900 15:08, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Caution
Before you put "FEU" on the 2004 cell, bear in mind that the UAAP Board hasn't decided yet on who will own the 2004 trophy. Unless there is a decision, it is recommended that the status quo be maintained.

WP:COMMONNAME
I suggest to use the common names of both people and schools. For a while I was figuring out who "Jose Antonio Reyes" was. -- Howard  the   Duck  16:53, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Recent changes and vandalism
I have reverted recent acts of vandalism conducted by Ayusin. The acts comprise unexplained edits involving deletions of lists that have been long undisturbed and maintained by community consensus. The edits cannot be said to have been made in good faith due to the lack of explanation and the arbitrary conduct prevailing in the edits. Rmcsamson (talk) 20:23, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Panamint City, California

Panamint City is a ghost town in the Panamint Range, near Death Valley, in Inyo County, California, US. It is also known by the official Board of Geographic Names as Panamint. Panamint was a boom town founded after silver and copper were found there in 1872. By 1874, the town had a population of about 2,000. Its main street was one mile (1.6 km) long. Panamint had its own newspaper, the Panamint News. Silver was the principal product mined in the area. The town is located about three miles northwest of Sentinel Peak. According to the National Geographic Names Database, NAD27 latitude and longitude for the locale are 36.11833°N, -117.09528°W, and the feature ID number is 1661185. The elevation of this location is identified as being 6,280 feet AMSL. The similar-sounding Panamint Springs, California, is located about 25.8 miles at 306.4 degrees off true north near Panamint Junction.

History
Panamint City is the site of the largest and most elaborate group of Coso Painted Style pictographs. The presence of these pictographs indicates that Surprise Canyon was inhabited by Shoshone and/or Kawaiisu not long before the town was founded.

Silver was discovered by Prospectors William Ledlie Kennedy, Robert Polk Stewart, and Richard C. Jacobs, who were forced to form a partnership with a gang of six stage robbers who had followed them when they returned to stake their claim. EP Raines, an early investor in Panamint mining, convinced a group of Los Angeles businessmen to build a wagon road and then moved on to San Francisco, where he met Nevada Senator John P. Jones. Jones and the other Nevada Senator, William M. Stewart, created the Panamint Mining Company and bought up the larger mines. The two were quite famous for their heavy involvement in silver mining in Nevada, and their interest in Panamint started the boom.

Founded in 1873–74, the town grew to include many mills, saloons, stores, a red light district, and a cemetery – all built along the uppermost end of Surprise Canyon. Panamint City was regarded as a "bad and wicked" town. Because of Panamint City's lawless reputation, Wells Fargo refused to open an office there. The senators solved the question of how to transport the silver bullion from the mines by casting it into 450-pound cannonballs, which were hauled to Los Angeles in an unguarded wagon.

On July 24, 1876, a flash flood roared down the canyon and washed out most of the town. The County of Inyo maintained a graded road to Panamint City until about 1983, when a terrific series of cloudbursts completely washed the canyon out to bedrock. This road permitted large vehicles, such as house trailers and trucks with mining equipment, to access Panamint City (some of these vehicles are abandoned there). The California Desert Protection Act in 1994 placed the upper portion of Surprise in Death Valley National Park and designated the Bureau of Land Management portion below as wilderness. Congress excluded a narrow strip of land around the washed-out road and remaining private property in Panamint City. Surprise Canyon Road was hard-closed with a locked gate by the Bureau of Land Management in May 2001 as a result of a lawsuit brought about by the Center for Biological Diversity, the Sierra Club, and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility. In the closure order there was an exemption to owners of private property, allowing them to access their property as had been done in the past. A "Stipulation Agreement" written into the terms of the closure stated that the BLM must complete an "Environmental Impact Statement" (EIS) to determine further allowed use of the road. To date, private property owners' requests for access have gone un-answered as the agencies feel many of the issues they have surrounding access will be answered by the yet-to-be released findings of the "EIS".

A post office operated at Panamint from 1874 to 1877, from 1882 to 1883, and from 1887 to 1895.

Much of Panamint City and Surprise Canyon were added to Death Valley National Park in 1994, with the exception of the land, buildings, and road that are still private property. Surprise Canyon Road and Panamint City are in a non-wilderness "cherry stem" created by an act of Congress, surrounded by Surprise Canyon Wilderness and Death Valley National Park. A "cherry stem" means that these areas were specifically excluded from wilderness because they did not meet the wilderness criteria. The cherry stem of Surprise Canyon Road and Panamint City was created by Congress to insure future public access to this historic town, and private property in the area. In May 2001 the BLM erected a gate to block vehicular access road. Today, Panamint City is accessible only by a 7.5 mile hike, strenuous for even experienced hikers.

Charles Smith (basketball, born 1965)

Charles Daniel Smith (born July 16, 1965) is an American former professional basketball player who played in the National Basketball Association (NBA) from 1988 to 1997. He was an All-American college player for the Pittsburgh Panthers and won an Olympic bronze medal as a member of the United States national team in 1988.

College career
As a college player, Smith was named Big East Player of the Year in 1988. He was a member of the University of Pittsburgh's highly touted five-man recruiting class considered the country's best. Along with power forward Jerome Lane, Smith and the Pitt Basketball Team became a major force in college basketball, opening the 1987–88 season ranked No. 4 nationally and rising as high as No. 2. during Smith's tenure.

He played for the US national team in the 1986 FIBA World Championship, where he won the gold medal, and at the 1988 Olympics, where he finished with a bronze.

NBA career
After his college career, the 6'10", 245 lb. power forward was selected third overall in the 1988 NBA draft by the Philadelphia 76ers but immediately traded to the Los Angeles Clippers. He made the 1988 NBA All-Rookie Team by averaging 16 points and 8 rebounds. During his four years with the Clippers where he was among the team's top scorers and rebounders, he averaged 19 points and 7 rebounds. He was later traded to the New York Knicks with Doc Rivers and Bo Kimble for point guard Mark Jackson. Smith was expected to fill the hole at small forward left by Xavier McDaniel after the Knicks failed to re-sign him after their successful 1991–92 season, a role that Smith struggled in as he was primarily a power forward. His knees became more problematic playing small forward around this time. As Smith's stats declined, he was traded to the San Antonio Spurs for J. R. Reid before retiring in 1998.

Post-retirement
Smith is a Resource Board Member of Family Office Association developing global partnerships. Prior, he was Head of Sports & Entertainment MediaCom and Head of New Business for Midas Exchange, both owned by WPP/GroupM. After retiring from the NBA, Smith served as Team Representative for the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) and then as First Vice President. Smith helped create the NBPA Foundation, a non-profit to support retired players in need. Smith went on to serve as Executive Director of the National Basketball Retired Players Association (NBRPA). Smith produced and executed exhibition games featuring over 40 retired NBA players. Smith was founder and CEO of New Media Technology Corp. The company was the first to develop and patent customizable applications for video ingestion in 1998. Smith still owns the patent portfolio today.

The Patrician (video game)

The Patrician (Der Patrizier) is a 1992 historical trading simulation video game for Amiga, Atari ST and MS-DOS developed by Ascaron Entertainment and published by Triptychon Software. In the game, the player assumes the role of a merchant in any of several cities of the Hanseatic League, accumulating money, capital and consumer goods, and real estate, expanding his company, and furthering his career at home and abroad.

Gameplay
The main action of The Patrician typically consists of trading, using trading offices and ships. Supply and Demand play an important role in this game. Generally seen as one of the more complex business simulations, Patrician can overwhelm the player with too much information. Players can also build public works, private houses, and industries, pursue a career in politics, and interact with such characters as pirates and burglars.

The game features an advanced dynamic economy which can be influenced by the actions of both the human players and the A.I.-controlled players. This in turn affects the various towns (constantly buying high and selling low will cause a town to grow poorer, for instance).

By helping a town grow, the player will gain popularity there, which will help in the Hanseatic elections. The goal of the game is to be elected leader of the Hanseatic League, but the player can only take part in Hanseatic elections once he or she has been elected lord mayor of the home town.

Ascaron released two sequels to 1992's The Patrician; Patrician II: Quest for Power (2000) and Patrician III: Rise of the Hanse (2002). The Patrician series was continued in 2010 with The Patrician IV, after Kalypso Media bought the licenses from the insolvent Ascaron company.

Reception
The Patrician was a commercial success. By 2000, its sales at full price had totaled roughly 250,000 units.

A Computer Gaming World reviewer in 1993 criticized the identical cities, "simplistic" combat, and "mundane" trading, stating that "the long term appeal of this game, except to bank managers and chartered accountants, is therefore questionable". He concluded that The Patrician was "too Germanic in appearance, perhaps needing a bit of British innovation, some French savoir faire, or maybe some Stateside polish". Another reviewer in 1994 liked the graphics and interface (especially as he criticized the manual's English translation and accuracy), but warned that "once the pricing system is understood, the trading elements of the game becomes somewhat repetitive". He recommended The Patrician to those looking for an unusual, non combat-oriented strategy game.

The One gave the Amiga version of The Patrician an overall score of 82%, comparing the gameplay to 1869, stating: "This is the game that 1869 should have been; it has more character, more depth and better presentation ... The historical background adds a tremendous amount of atmosphere". The One also praised the user-friendly UI and the need to progress both politically and financially, and expressing that expanding their fleet of ships "gives an excellent feeling of power".

ST Format's Rob Mead writes, "This is a perfect game for wannabe managers and, with up to three other human players all sitting round your ST at once, soon turns into a mental battle of wits against your pals as you all try to get one up on each other."

Category talk:Set index articles on tropical cyclones

Note for authors
Use the template to include an article in this page. Note that these pages are a little more complete than most disambiguation pages since they also function as a list of storms that used a particular name. Each disambiguation article should follow a consistent format; see WikiProject Tropical Cyclones.

Discussion
Maybe this isn't the best name for the category. But the top-level category is just Disambiguation, and we're talking about tropical cyclones, so I named it this. To rename it all we'd have to do is edit the template and copy over the category article. Jdorje 02:57, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Deletion

 * I guess I missed the whole deletion debate. Note that Category:Lists of ambiguous human names is not appropriate, as some of the names (like Fox, Alpha, Item) are not taken from human names at all. — jdorje (talk) 19:02, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry, that was my idea, trying to accomodate folks that want to minimize the number of subcategories. I withdrew the suggestion.  Now that the category name is confirmed, should we run through and replace all the templates with the disambig followed by this category?

 * Thought I'd drop by and mention a discussion we had about naming these categories. Category:Disambiguation (tropical cyclones) might be a good name.--Commander Keane 08:10, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I have no objection to that. — jdorje (talk) 17:42, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I object, doesn't meet requirements of naming conventions for categories. Moreover, we just had the debate, it was extended for lack of participation, and it still was a keep.  Maybe next year, after any dust settles from the current flurry of nominations (that also came from the rampant disambiguators).
 * --William Allen Simpson 18:11, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I am a little confused about the naming conventions, so I asked about it here. I am not disputing that the decision is keep, I'm not sure why that was mentioned.--Commander Keane 22:53, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

((hurricane disambig))
Currently the category description here says:
 * Please note: hurricane disambig is deprecated and should not be used.

I see no reason why that disambig box should be deprecated. I find that disambig box nice since it has extra explanation about what kind of disambig page it is, just like the other specialised disambig boxes like airport disambig and roaddis. And it means it is easier to change/update the category name if it is added by a template. So, I want to remove the statement that it is deprecated.

I have brought this up for discussion over at Template talk:Hurricane disambig. Please discuss there.

Also, we are thinking of adding a "cyclone/hurricane/typhoon" parameter to disambig, so that we can use for instance when a disambig page lists several other things under the same name. The parameter "cyclone" will make categorise the page into Category:Tropical cyclone disambiguation. See discussion at Template talk:Disambig.

Help with Translation!?
Can you help translate this for me to swedish? Many thanks in advance!

''For a small country, Albania is endowed with considerable resources. The southwestern part of the country is rich in petroleum and natural gas. The northeastern region has substantial reserves of metallic mineral deposits, including chromium, copper, and iron-nickel. Large deposits of lignite (soft coal) are found near Tiranë, and natural asphalt is mined near Selenicë.''

''Albania is also rich in rivers and streams with significant hydroelectric potential. These have been exploited quite effectively, making the country an energy exporter. A number of huge hydroelectric power plants have been built, mainly on the Drin River, and more than half of the country's arable land is irrigated, largely from the artificial reservoirs created upstream of the dams.''

--Armour 14:07, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

OK, then, I could give you a rough translation. For what reason?

''För ett så litet land, har ALbanien stora natturliga resurser. Den sydvästra delen av landet är rik på petroleum och naturgas. Det nordöstra området har stora reserver av metalliska mineralfyndigheter(?), inklusive krom, koppar och järnnickel(?). Nära Tiranë finns det stora fyndigheter av lignit(?), och nära Selenicë finns det gruvor med naturlig asfalt.''

''Albanien är också rikt på floder och åar med stark potential för vattenkraft. De har utnyttjats rätt effektivt, vilket gjort landet till en exportör av energi. Ett antal stora vattenkraftverk har byggts, huvudsakligen på Drinfloden, och mer än hälften av landets odlingsbara jord har bevattnats, mestadels från konstgjorda reservoarer som har satts upp uppströms ifrån dammarna'' 惑乱_分からん 15:45, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Response

 * When I initiated and wrote the page you talk about, I envisioned it not as a storage for cognates randomly taken from every IE language that has been recorded. I asked on the talk page to add only one, most representative cognate from each language family. Therefore, you repetitive addition of "oko", an entry identical to the existing one and taken from two closely related Slavic languages, seems redundant to me. Such random additions don't add anything valuable to the list but destroy the system that underlay it. --Ghirla | talk 21:41, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for telling me. Since you created the page, we, (Imperial78, me et al.) have started a reworking on the page, creating a table showing representative words from most major languages. We have done that for more than a month, now, but it's looking good, and if you want to revert it, go and start a discussion on the entry talk page. I think the table is easier to follow than the original list, and Imperial78 has gone through a lot of the entries, fixing errors etc. so I'd like it that you only revert incorrect examples such as false cognates and borrowings in the future. 惑乱 分からん 22:05, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Eisner & Iger
Hi. Just wondering why the rv to blockquote on Eisner & Iger. The Wiki quote graphic appears throughout Wikipedia without problem. Was it somehow not working here technically, or breaking up a page layout in an unfixable way? Thanks for any info. -- Tenebrae 19:36, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Russian Ship Names
Hello. Thank you for your reply to my question.

Yes, the ship names I already have were Mir and Nadezhda, and I was hoping for more such words. Nadezhda, by the way, is apparently a female name and the name of a few Russian warships. I don't require them to be names for people, just virtues and ideas. I would use Russian to English dictionaries but they're notoriously inaccurate. Thank you for translating "Courage," can you think of any really cool sounding words? I can provide you with a list of ship names in English, if it will help.

Resilient/Resilience Opportunity Curiosity Fury/Rage/Anger, etc. Fortune/Luck/Lucky, etc. Quick/Fast/Lightning, etc. Undauntable/Fearless/Brave/Courage, etc. Peerless/Unique/Elite Golden

Thanks a lot. :) --Demonesque 23:26, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Eskimo question on Ref Desk
Copied from Ref Desk:

''I need to find information that will allow me to compare the food and clothing of Mexican children to those of Eskimo children. Where should I look? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.99.65.8 (talk) 19:53, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

 * Per "DON'T BITE THE QUESTIONER" the article Eskimo says "There are two main groups of Eskimos: the Inuit in northern Alaska, Canada and Greenland, and the Yupik of western Alaska and the Russian Far East." so your politically correct/professional usage is questionable.

 * Sort of defending my sloppiness, here, but at least it appears that the Inuit population is far more numerous than the Yupik, with the global Inuit population possibly around 150.000, and the global Yupik only about one fraction of that, maybe 20-25.000 extrapolated from the Yupik/Yupik languages articles. 惑乱 分からん 01:28, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Old Frankish
Hallo Wakuran, I was wondering what you meant with your comment "Old Dutch is part of OLF, otherwise, I think Jonathan might have deleted some valid information. Someone knowledgeable could check out the edits..."

As far as I see the only things I really deleted are claims about pommerania and bavaria. Since the origin of Franks is widely attested by contemporain historians and is undisputed by modern scholars I'm not sure what you mean. Could you cure my curiosity? johanthon 21:06, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Howdy! A quick request, would you consider using edit summaries more often? It generates extra work for some folks when you don't, especially when cleaning up after a vandal, and the community has even indicated that it considers the subject of edit summaries important enough that it has, on occasion, rejected adminship candidates on that basis alone. So please consider just adding a word or two whenever you edit, it'll make our jobs easier and will reflect positively upon you in the community. Regards, C HAIRBOY (☎) 15:22, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Your signature
Hey Wakuran,

I have noticed that lately your signature contains exclusively non-Latin characters. It's not a problem for me, since my browser supports them, but the official WP guideline (Signatures) says that you should also include Latin letters because some people's browsers won't support other characters. Of course, this is just a guideline, so it's not necessary, but I wasn't sure if you were aware.

Lift
Hi Wakuran. The problem with using dictionaries is that you are bound to find only the Old Icelandic forms of Old Norse words. The Old East Norse that contributed to Old English had different forms from Old Icelandic. The word for "after" was æfti R  and not eptir and thus the form for "lift" would have been lyfta and not lypta.--Berig 09:50, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, alright, I just looked for an attested form, found in popular dictionaries. "Lyfta" turning to "lift" makes more sense to me. The modern Scandinavian descendants are "lyfte" (Danish, Norwegian Bokmål) and "lyfta" (Swedish) so I figured at least some of the Norsemen used "lyfta". Thanks for letting me know.

Morning and it's origins
You keep undoing edits about the origins of the word 'morning', claiming it to be nonsense. But in fact it's not. Cockerals used to crow early in the day, and without any other word to describe that time of day, the word for chicken was adapted. Over centuries this has been watered down and altered etc, as all words are, resulting in our current word for the time between 12am and 12 pm: morning. I havent reverted your changes just yet. I'd like to discuss it with you first. Thanks. Tom. Tomandhismathcore (talk) 16:55, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * What's your source? After looking up several dictionaries, All information I found indicated that "morning" is derived from Old English morgen and morne, with cognates in other Germanic languages also meaning "morning". Without any source to back it up, it'd be Original Research.惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 13:07, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Yeah, well, okay. I maybe should have supposed good faith, sorry. Anyway, after checkning out etymonline.com, several free online English dictionaries, Deutsches Wörterbuch and Svenska Akademiens Ordbok, I couldn't find anything remotely similar to the "chicken" theory. Either it's claimed "of unknown origin", or connected to words in other IE languages reasonably similar connected to light and flickering.<BR>And as for the quote "Morning has broken", I just thought it seemed unnecessary. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 23:57, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

About references of the Nordic Sagas in old literature
Hi Wakuran and thank you for the answer in the Old Norse discussion page. I have two additional questions that you might have knowledge to answer:

1)	When was the Saga literature e.g. Codex Regius and Flateyjarbók book first was referred to in "learned" literature?

2)	What language was the Saga e.g. Codex Regius and Flateyjarbók first written in? Was it in Latin? Thorguds (talk) 11:10, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 1)	Sorry, I don't know. I'm not really a scholar.

 * 2)	Old Icelandic, which in most respects apparently are nearly identical to Old West Norse, mostly considered a dialect. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 12:21, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

You might be interested: Here is some information gathered about the scripts of the old Saga literature. The language is Old Icelandic, but the script is Latin. According to G. M. Gunnlaugsson Latin spead to Iceland and Norway with Christianity in Europe after year 1000 and the oldest documented scripts are dated to middle or late 12th century. The Old Norse scripts are written in Praegothica Latin from around 1200. This script type is likely imported with the Anglo-Saxons, first to Norway and then to Iceland. Source of Information is found in the following sites: 1) http://www.dur.ac.uk/medieval.www/sagaconf/mar.htm 2) http://www.ksbm.oeaw.ac.at/cipl2005/vienne05_12.pdf Apropos: Gothic script style has nothing whatever to do with the Goths, but with Saracenic art of the Crusaders. Gothic is a Latin script style. The Gothic period lasted roughly from 1150 to 1500. Praegothica developed from the earlier Carolingian minuscule. Source of information: Fonts for Latin Paleography by Juan-José Marcos, 2008. 3) http://cg.scs.carleton.ca/~luc/JJMarcos-2008-FontsForLATIN_PALEOGRAPHY.pdf The Saga literature are not pagan scripts of origin, but told by the Christians about the old Nordic pagan religion and culture. "Old Nordic" seems to be a more correct word than "Old Norse" when it comes to religion and culture. Thorguds (talk) 16:22, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I knew some of that already, but thanks. I think there is much more attested Norse writing in Latin than Runic script, actually. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 16:39, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

List of Germanic and Latinate equivalents in English
Mixed was once thought to be derived as a backformation from Latin mixtus, but etymologists are now beginning to agree that the word has been in English all along, coming from Middle English mixen from Old English mixian, a variant of miscian (cf ask from OE āscian/āxian). Further analysis points to a Proto-Germanic etymology rather than to an OE borrowing of the Latin word for several reasons: 1). The word is well attested in Germanic (Old English, Middle Low German and Old High German), 2) There are other related words in Germanic that clearly could not have been borrowed from Latin, thus suggesting native origin (e.g. OE māsc/māx "mixture"), 3). The PIE root is found almost ubiquitously in all branches of IE (Greek, Slavic, Celtic, Baltic, Indo-Iranian), leading experts to believe that it must have also existed in Germanic as well. Leasnam (talk) 21:11, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Nakano-kai

The Nakano-kai (中野会) was a notorious Osaka-based yakuza gang, founded by Taro Nakano (born October 30, 1936, in Oita) in the years after World War 2. The Nakano-kai was known for its fierce bellicosity and thus sometimes dubbed the "Dojin-kai in the Yamaguchi-gumi".

Before 1997, the Nakano-kai had been an affiliate of the Kobe-based Yamaguchi-gumi, Japan's largest yakuza group. But in July of that year, the Nakano-kai broke spectacularly from its parent in a violent attack that led to the group's disbanding.

In August 1997, four Nakano-kai gunmen walked into the Oriental Hotel in Kobe and assassinated Masaru Takumi, number 2 in the Yamaguchi-gumi and the expected successor to Yoshinori Watanabe. The Nakano-kai was reportedly angry at Takumi for ordering them to cease hostilities in a local Osaka gang war. The attack also killed an innocent bystander, dentist Hiroshi Hirai. Public outrage over the shooting led to a police crackdown and the arrest of many of the gang's members (however, two of the hotel gunmen are still at large as of 2005). The gang was disbanded shortly thereafter.

Not just in the travel industry, we use "pax" to signify the number of people coming into our restaurant as well. Don't know if that is just us being strange though.

Pax is also the name given to the holy kiss at the eucharist. I'll maybe add something about here. --Gareth Hughes 03:00, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

A form of tax
Pax was the tax imposed to any merchant who wished to use a Roman built road, by Roman soldiers. The tax would ensure safe (peaceful) passage between Roman districts. The term Pax became synonymous with "imperial", or the imperial tax that would help ensure a peaceful empire. Collections decreased significantly when Hadrian came to power, due to a less expansionist platform that originally paid the Roman elite. This absence in funding was replaced by a higher Pax, hence discouraging trade, which may have led to the end of Rome's Golden Age.

 * Oppose per WP:DABNAME and WP:MALPLACED and I don't see a primary topic.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 03:09, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The OP is a recently created account, so I assume they are not aware of the various Wikipedia policies and guidelines, specifically all the guidelines on Disambiguation in this case. Per WP:DABNAME, the title of a disambiguation page is typically the ambiguous term itself -- unless there is a primary topic for that term (the topic to which the term should lead), only then the "(disambiguation)" tag added to the name of the disambiguation page. However, no case have been made yet if there is a primary topic for the term "Pax". And so Pax (disambiguation) is just a redirect to Pax, for cases when a 'Pax (disambiguation)' link is added to Template:Other uses and other hatnote templates.

Euroman Cometh

Euroman Cometh is the debut solo album by the Stranglers' bassist J.J. Burnel, released in April 1979 by United Artists. It is a concept album, as most of the songs concern the ideal of a united Europe, both culturally and economically. Upon release, the album was a contrast to the more melodic songs of the Stranglers, containing what Pat Gilbert of Record Collector describes as "a collection of dark, atmospheric soundscapes, embroidered with Burnel's intense, monotone theorising about a united Europe."

Release
Despite a mixed critical reception, Euroman Cometh reached number 40 in the UK Albums Chart in April 1979. The track "Freddie Laker (Concorde and Eurobus)" was released as a single on 13 April 1979, backed with the non-album track "Ozymandias". Though being the most Stranglers-like track on the album, the single did not chart.

Music and lyrical themes
Musically, Euroman Cometh was an attempt at incorporating electronic sounds into rock. "I was quite a big Kraftwerk fan already by then," Burnel said in 2009. "I was also a Can fan right from a teenager. So I liked that metronomic sort of thing and I then put my own slant on it because I was playing most of the instruments in the studio." Lyrically, it evolved around the idea of a United States of Europe in the context of the Cold War. "A Europe riddled with american values and soviet subversion is a diseased sycophantic old whore: a Europe strong, united and independent is a child of the future", states Burnel on the inner sleeve.

"Freddie Laker (Concorde and Eurobus)" is a rant against big business and Americans, and a homage to British airline entrepreneur Freddie Laker, "who epitomised the lengths the Americans would go to fuck over the European," Burnel said in 2009. According to Stuart Bolton, writing for The Burning Up Times magazine, "Euromess" is not "purely an anti-Soviet rant but more a pro-European call for solidarity." It is also a lament for Jan Palach, the Czech student who burned himself to death after the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Warsaw Pact armies.

However, not every song relates directly to Europe or the past. "Jellyfish" relates to having a broad mind, accommodating ideas and not being narrow. And the album's cover song, "Pretty Face", isn't linked to the European idea at all. "It doesn't really have any bearing on the rest of the album," Burnel said, "it was just a track I loved." Keeping in line with the European concept, the vocals on Euroman Cometh are sung in English, French ("Euroman", "Tout Comprendre") and German ("Deutschland Nicht Uber Alles").

The album title, Burnel believes, may have come from the 1946 play The Iceman Cometh by Eugene O'Neill.

Recording
The initial work on the album began at TW Studios in London during the recording of the Stranglers' Black and White album in February 1978. Without a home at the time, Burnel was mostly spending the night in the studio, and each night after the Stranglers sessions, he would write and record. He would use a beatbox machine which had different settings, such as rock and roll, salsa, and rumba. "All these different rhythms [where] you couldn't change the single pattern, but you could speed it up," he said. "It was a similar thing they'd put into organs at the time." With no pre-written songs, Burnel found it useful, creatively, to record basslines or guitar parts over a rhythm and building it up from there. "So very quickly I built up a little body of work and I thought, "oh God, I'm halfway to an album, I might as well carry on." The Stranglers' record label United Artists then agreed to issue the album. Guest musicians were Peter Howells of the Drones (drums on tracks three, five and six), track nine featured Brian James of the Damned (guitar), Lew Lewis (harmonica) and Carey Fortune of Chelsea (drums). All other instruments were played by Burnel.

Album cover
The album cover features a photograph of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, which officially opened in 1977. It was chosen for the album cover because it was architecturally grandiose, representing modernity and radical new thinking.

Printed on the sleeve is a tribute to the Meriden Motorcycle Co-operative that manufactured Triumph motorcycles between 1976 and 1983. The tribute reads, "The Triumph Workers Co-operative at Meriden have proved that personally motivated enterprise coupled with group interest is a necessary ingredient in successful socialism and the sham they call nationalisation could only be suggested and perpetrated by enemies of the people." The engine of Burnel's 750cc Triumph Bonneville T140, manufactured by the Meriden Co-operative, is heard during the track "Triumph (Of the Good City)", forming the basis of the song's percussion.

Aftermath
To promote the album, Burnel assembled the Euroband, containing Peter Howells, keyboardist Penny Tobin (ex-Nick Lowe's Last Chicken in the Shop) and guitarist John Ellis (ex-the Vibrators), for a UK tour all through April. With a 45-minute set featuring no Stranglers songs, the tour suffered from poor ticket sales, resulting in three gigs being cancelled. The band's performance at the Pavilion in Hemel Hempstead on 25 April was recorded, and included as bonus tracks on two reissues of Euroman Cometh.

"I thought [Euroman Cometh] was quite poppy and people said it was off the wall and leftfield but I didn’t see it in those terms," Burnel said in 2009. In 2015, he said, "It was an experiment and a way of passing the time of night. It was as also bit of a manifesto. I was a big fan of the concept of a united Europe ... I still think it's one of the great ideas of our times but I am wary of the bureaucracy and the bad elements of it but as a pure concept it's a great concept."

By the 2010s, Euroman Cometh had sold close to 100,000 copies. Peter Hook, bassist with New Order, considers the album to be one of his greatest influences.

Reissues
Euroman Cometh was reissued by EMI in 1992 and by Eastworld Recordings in 1998. Both reissues include a 35 minutes live recording as bonus tracks.

Iota Aquilae

Iota Aquilae, Latinized from ι Aquilae, is the Bayer designation for a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. It has the traditional name Al Thalimain, which it shares with λ Aquilae. The name is derived from the Arabic term الظليمین al-ẓalīmayn meaning "The Two Ostriches". With an apparent visual magnitude of 4.364, this star is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 8.34 ± 0.79 mas, it is located at a distance of around 390 ly from Earth. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is diminished by 0.15 from extinction caused by intervening gas and dust.

Although Iota Aquilae is listed in star catalogues as a giant star, calculations of its dimension show that in reality it is a main-sequence star. It has nearly five times the mass of the Sun and five to six times the Sun's radius. It is emitting 851 times the luminosity of the Sun from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 14,552 K, giving it the blue-white hue of a B-type star. The projected rotational velocity of this star is 55 km/s. Even though it is only around 100 million years old, it has already spent 91% of its allotted lifetime on the main sequence.

Nomenclature
In Chinese, 右旗 (Yòu Qí), meaning Right Flag, refers to an asterism consisting of ι Aquilae, μ Aquilae, σ Aquilae, δ Aquilae, ν Aquilae, 42 Aquilae, HD 184701, κ Aquilae and 56 Aquilae. Consequently, the Chinese name for ι Aquilae itself is 右旗五 (Yòu Qí wu, the Fifth Star of Right Flag.)

This star, together with η Aql, θ Aql, δ Aql, κ Aql and λ Aql were once part of the obsolete constellation Antinous.

set notation
Although I agree with your edit comment on notation for sets, at standard deviation, the things for which the notation was being used are not sets. They are multisets, since members can appear more than once and the mutliplicity matters, or, in some cases, they are tuples, since members are identified with indices. The fact that the word dataset, or data set, is used, does not mean it must be taken literally. Tuples are normally written with round parentheses. Michael Hardy 19:14, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't think they're tuples, as order matters in tuples and not data sets. I think "multiset" would indeed be the proper name to call them, as you said, and those are denoted using curly brackets as well.

OK, so when xi is the height in centimeters of the husband in the ith couple, and yi is the wife's height, then you cannot freely alter the order in (x1, ..., xn) and still have the same data set. At least to that extent, order matters. Data are often written in just this way, with subscripts. Michael Hardy 16:57, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Al Thalimain

The traditional star name Al Thalimain refers to two stars in the Aquila constellation:
 * Iota Aquilae
 * Lambda Aquilae

The name derives from the Arabic term aθ-θalīmain meaning "The two ostriches".
