Talk:Pluckley

Untitled
Most haunted village?

According to Maynard,C;1977;"World of Unknown";Usborne Publishing

Pluckley is claimed as being one of the most haunted villages in England.

Can someone confirm this from other sources?

 * Pluckley was in the Guinness Book of World Records a few years back as the most haunted village in the world. But I have no idea if it is still recognised as such. --Ukdan999 11:04, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I lived in Kent and in my youth read an awful lot about, and did a lot of investigation in, Pluckley, because of its reputation for being haunted. I never saw any evidence of ghosts while there (but I am ambivalent about their existence). What really does worry me is that the ghost stories (and I think the parish website may be partially to blame) have been embellished and added to and otherwise changed in the past 40 years. Someone buried in 7 coffins and an oak sarcophagus? Where did that nonsense come from?

Somehow this has to be re-written to just include the original stories - sadly, these are a bit sketchy - but probably more representative for that reason.

 * I concur - the stories have been much embellished since the 1970s when I used to do the same sort of investigation.Plingsby (talk) 15:44, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Attractions/Advertising
The "attractions" section contains no actual attractions at all, just publicity for local companies. Surely this is (a) non-notable (or particularly noteworthy) and (b) advertising. Wikipedia cannot have room for every small business associated with a town or village to be listed.Plingsby (talk) 15:42, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

What American really means
I'm glad you define American as from North or South America not just the United States. American really does mean that. Everytime I elimanate usage of American referring to the United States this dumb fuck Firebug reverts it back. Please help if this ever happens again. By the way if anyone ever reverts the inaccurate usage of American please contact me and I'll help you get to the bottom of it. Heegoop, 30 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Except it's contrary to plain writing. "American" is near-universal usage. People know it refers to citizens of the U.S.A. and there's no disrespect to residents elsewhere in the hemisphere. In geography contexts, of course, you might want more precision.

 * I also disagree, respectfully, with personal name-calling like "dumb..." I hope everyone agrees that collaboration thrives on civility.
 * DavidH 30 June 2005 21:08 (UTC)

 * I've stated my position in detail a number of times; in short I prefer specific to portentially ambiguous terms. Use of American has been one of the long term running discussions on Wikipedia. Thanks for the feedback and offer of help, but I have to agree that calling people who use the term differently "dumb" is inappropriate and needlessly insulting; please see Civility. Thanks, -- Infrogmation July 1, 2005 06:43 (UTC)

 * I removed the "American" link from this discussion as part of the efforts in Disambiguation Link Repair. Since you seem to be interested in this subject, I also found the page Alternative words for American. There seems to be a very lively discussion on this talk page as well. EWS23 17:14, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

České Budějovice and Plzeň
Infrogmation, I have noticed that NoPuzzleStranger initiated changes to both articles. He is pushing a wording change to foreign name references indicating that Pilsen and Budweis are not current English name alternatives.

I have found several examples of current use of both Pilsen and Budweis in English language texts by the local population, including the municipal web site of the City of Pilsen. Obviously, both names are used by foreigners as well - for historical or practical reasons. I wonder what your thoughts were on this since you have evidently initiated the České Budějovice article including the paragraph in question. Jbetak 1 July 2005 22:02 (UTC)

 * Back when the Czech lands were part of the Austrian & Austro-Hungarian Empire, English language map makers often took their cue from the German map makesr as to naming. Certainly the old German names should be mentioned, but I don't know if they should be called English language names unless there is substantial English usage of that name. "Pilsen" I think is an example where that case can indeed be made; I'm not sure of other examples being wide spread. -- Infrogmation

Thank you
Thank you for the welcome. I believe some of the info there will come in quite handy.Bjones 2 July 2005 02:14 (UTC)

Tea Sucking
Froggie, I noticed your name among those who had voted to delete Tea Sucking. I voted to delete it myself. Uncle G subsequently did a very radical rewrite; I'm happy to change my vote from delete to keep and even if you don't want to join me in this I think you'll find the new article worth a look. -- Hoary July 2, 2005 07:22 (UTC)
 * Heh, that's one article I didn't think was worth rewriting to save, but I see it was totally re-done from a dubious article about a non-notable practice to a well researched article about a different practice that I guess squeeks in with adiquate notability. I've modified my vote accordingly. -- Infrogmation July 2, 2005 13:01 (UTC)

American cats
I was just going over the comments on the American Dependencies CFD, and I was wondering whether you are arguing in favour of renaming all the "American" categories (except, of course, things like American Idol Contestants), or whether you were opposed to re-naming non-US cats. Thanks. Guettarda 3 July 2005 05:01 (UTC)
 * I am indeed in favor of renaming categories using "American" as a potentially ambiguous adjective (I do not count examples like the one you site where usage is made specific in the context of the title itself, or where the category name is quoting a title). I'm aware that would be a fair sized project. -- Infrogmation

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure - again!
Infrogmation, please stop reverting edits on Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, you know it was copyrighted and published in 1988. -- Mike Garcia | talk 4 July 2005 03:12 (UTC)
 * I just explained my single revert on Talk:Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Please try to discuss issues calmly there. Thanks, -- Infrogmation 4 July 2005 03:14 (UTC)

 * And your answer is there. -- Mike Garcia | talk 4 July 2005 03:17 (UTC)

 * I just got a message from Danny and he told me we should leave it alone for now. He said he will look into it for some sort of type of case. -- Mike Garcia | talk 4 July 2005 03:44 (UTC)

Meetup
I'm thinking about a meetup for people in our part of the country. Since it would be a central location, a cheap destination, and I think I could get some favorable incentives from the chamber of commerece for people who come, I'm thinking of Marshall for the venue. Though other options certainly could be considered and no time has been set. Do you think you'd be interested? -JCarriker July 6, 2005 11:20 (UTC)
 * Hypothetically I'd be "interested" in a meetup, though the logistics of anything likely to take a full day or more out of town (including transportation time) make it a bit daunting, so I don't feel I can give you anything stronger than a "maybe, it depends".  Hmmm, looking at the weather projections, maybe if it could be combined with the next time I have to evacuate New Orleans for a hurricane? :-) Seriously, why don't you set up a "Wikipedia:Meetup South Central United States" page (or some such name) for discussion. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 6 July 2005 14:38 (UTC)

Universal Music Group/MCA
Just go to the External Link for the website on the article page. Thanks. Ted Wilkes July 8, 2005 13:49 (UTC)

 * Re your question. Originally a music company, new owners renamed it MCA, Inc. and turned it into a conglomerate. I think the evolution is pretty easy: MCA, Inc, the parent company, changes its name then changes a division's name. -- MCA, Inc. (operating parent company) created through acquisitions and/or new ventures various entities that were collectively managed and reported on financially for monitoring growth as "MCA Music Entertainment Group" (operating division). After changing their legal corporate name from MCA, Inc. to Universal Studios, Inc., they appropriately changed the name of their division, "MCA Music Entertainment Group" to "Universal Music Group." Legally entity wise, and in terms of B/S and P&L reporting, nothing changed, just names. (Do not confuse the acquistion by the Bronfman holding company that purchased control of the parent operating company.) I don't have a lot of interest in this, other than perhaps the less than brillant moves by Bronfman, Jr. which cost his family several billion dollars and saw them lose control over a great distilling empire and brand name. However, I'm certain you are more qualified than me on music stuff but my background is corprate finance (M&A, restructuring) but I really do not want to write on things I did as a career - fluff is easy and fun. However, if you can't figure out the corporate structure let me know and I'll take a shot at merging them when I get a chance. Thanks. I hope I haven't confused you and made it worse! Good luck. Ted Wilkes 14:44, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Barger photo
I obtained "public domain" copyright status from Jorn Barger for the photo uploaded in the article on him by writing to his email address. I saw you'd inquired about it at the Robotwisdom wikipedia username, and I had been thinking the same thing. I did ask him for GFDL but he said "just make it public domain"; since it's a self portrait that is good enough permission. I've now tagged it. — Emerman 8 July 2005 15:50 (UTC)
 * Thanks. -- Infrogmation 8 July 2005 19:04 (UTC)

Green Day, AGAIN!
Hi there....

I just wanted to report to you that Mike Garcia has again gone and reverted my proven and correct dates of release for 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. Evidently, banning him for 2 days is not enough to get him to stop behaving in this childish manner. He also left somewhat of a threatening message on my talk page.

Can this be resolved for once and for all?

Thanks

PetSounds 9 July 2005 18:38 (UTC)

PS - I've ventured further and saw that he also deleted the 39/Smooth page (which was the original release of the album in 1990 - which is where his stubborn confusion on the release date arises from) and added a re-direct. I've undone and restored everything - only once.

I really don't appreciate being threatened on my own talk page.

Thanks...

PetSounds 9 July 2005 18:52 (UTC)

 * PetSounds, I am trying to correct your information to prove it, but you keep refusing to check my sources. By the way, I am not threatening you, I am trying to avoid your edits on those pages with inaccurate information. Besides, nobody cares about your corrections, anyway. -- Mike Garcia | talk 9 July 2005 19:13 (UTC)

 * Ahem. *waves* I for one care about his corrections. If you can find a source other than the album cover that says 1990, then your opinion might be worth considering. the wub  "?/!"  9 July 2005 19:17 (UTC)

 * Hi to both of you. Most of us here at Wikipedia care about accurate information, therefore we care about corrections. Mike, I don't understand your statement "about trying to correct your information to prove it". I havn't looked at your sources yet, but it's great you if you are listing sources for your information. Again, discuss any disagreements by calmly listing and evaluating sources on talk, and avoid edit wars. Thanks, -- Infrogmation 9 July 2005 19:23 (UTC)

 * Infrogmation, it's at the talk page of the band and Petsounds' talk page. Their official website also says the correct year (1990). -- Mike Garcia | talk 9 July 2005 19:26 (UTC)
 * Good then; I assume you've posted a link to that on the talk page discussion? Remember that siting your sources and evidence is especially important when there is disagreement. -- Infrogmation

Their website is all fancy flash so I can't point you direct to the source but that says 1990 for 39/Smooth, not 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours which was released later. They are not the same album. the wub  "?/!"  19:34, 9 July 2005 (UTC)

Bob Dylan pages
Hi again. I've spent the last while refurbishing and improving all of the articles on Bob Dylan's albums, making them much more informative, and as of last night this user named "monicasdude" keeps reverting my info (on many of the over-40 album entries), deciding it is "inaccurate" and "wrong" (although my info is from reliable sources) and he keeps erasing all the hard work I've done, even telling me that I'm "screwing up" the pages. I reminded him they were not HIS alone, and that others were free to improve upon them, which I have, but I had to restore my work again this morning. Which means that this fellow is in jeopardy of violating the 3RR rule. Examples are John Wesley Harding, Planet Waves and Bob Dylan discography. His deletions are also reinstating poor cover images that I improved on, as well as proper formatting (especially the discography page - which, if you compare, you'll see that the albums section was messy, while I made it more presentable and practical). PetSounds 13:26, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Please don't harass the admins when you have edit disputes, especially since you consistently refuse to provide any references or factual information to support disputed positions. It is remarkably inappropriate here, for example, to change the titles of pages discussing Bob Dylan albums to reflect your preferred versions of the titles rather than the official titles used on the albums and documented on the artist's website, nor is it appropriate to repeatedly insert text declaring an album has been deleted from the artist's catalog when it is offered for sale on the artist's official website. You are not the only person who works hard on their contributions, but you seem to have a uniquely elevated view of the value of your own contributions and a demonstrated lack of interest inachieving consensus. Monicasdude 05:42, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

N'awlins thanks
I like your name-- might you be a fellow New Orleanian? Either way, Cheers, -- Infrogmation 17:39, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your welcome--I appreciate it. In my heart I am from New Orleans, but not in reality.  It is my favorite US city.  Tchoupitoulas 21:02, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Regarding your reversion of my disambiguation...
Fixing the 5000+ links to "American" is our major project right now at Disambiguation pages with links. I understand your desire to maintain the exact wording of your discussion in Category talk:American actors, but can we arrive at some way to achieve that without linking to the disambiguation page? Perhaps you could delink the term, or direct the link to "America (disambiguation)" instead? Cheers. -- BD2412 talk 23:07, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * I rather think that this was a reasonablee and rare exception to the generally good rule to elimiate links to disambiguation pages. Thanks for your good work in fixing the piles of links in article space. As the link is in a talk page discussion rather than article space, I don't see that leaving it is harmful. However if you feel strongly that leaving it is some sort of impediment or problem, I suppose I can remove or rewrite my discussions if you think I need to. Thanks for contacting me, -- Infrogmation 16:00, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Sorry for the lag in response time. Would you mind if a set up the meet up as tentatively in Marshall? I think some people in nearby Longview may be interested in helping set things up.

Just a personal question
I read that you are fm New Orleans. Just out of curiousity, I am wondering where are you editing Wikipedia now. And would you consider going back there (if it is ever possible)? Or may it be the case the entire population of the city have to be relocated elsewhere? (Think Tuvalu, "The population may evacuate during the next decades to New Zealand, or Niue, a small Pacific island (independent but associated with New Zealand) that isn't threatened by sea level rise, but does have decreasing population.")

Sending blessings to you, Frogman. My people in Shreveport tell me a lot of New Orlineans are up that way, with their children enrolled in schools there. Glad to know you are safe and well. DeeCee reportedly is planning to send buses to transport 400 refugees here to our National Guard Armory by Labor Day, and fundraisers are being held all over. Take heart. deeceevoice 18:54, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm glad to see your alright, I've been helping coordinate some on-line reliefe efforts, and will still be doing so. Actually, now that I know your OK, I'm only have to find someone I went to high school with. If you need a more long term arrangemnet let me know and I'll find someone in Marshall who'll take you into their home. Like Shreveport, we are also taking in many refugees. -JCarriker 11:24, September 4, 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks much. I'm still hoping to be able to get back sometime. After another 5 days to a week here in Florida I'll probably be heading west, most likely to take up the offer of an old friend in Austin if I still can't go back to NOLA. However a day or two somewhere might be helpful in transit depending on circumstances; if so I'll let you know if that's something to look in to. Sincere thanks to you. All the best wishes, C.M.

Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard
I have created a new project page at Bureaucrats' noticeboard, and Secretondon suggested that I tell my fellow bureaucrats about it. It's designed as a forum where users with bureaucrat rights can discuss difficult situations, either beforehand (for advice about what to do) or after taking action (for review and feedback). It's similar to another page I created, which is starting to catch on (e.g., Jimbo used it this August): account suspensions, which is not for 3RR or simple vandalism but for close calls and disputed blocks.

Please take a look at these new project pages and give some feedback. Good idea? Bad? Needs improvement? --Uncle Ed 12:25, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

NatureBoy 20:41, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

I removed the reference to P-26_Peashooter in Boeing_247 under "Related Content, Designation Sequence, 248 and 266" because the referenced page "P-26_Peashooter" is a binary file. Never saw this before in wp. This binary file also comes up when searching for "P-26_Peashooter" from the left menu. I downloaded the file and scanned for viruses and it came up clean. Any ideas? Looks like it needs an Admin intervention to remove it.

NatureBoy 13:40, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

I put back the removed references as the linked page now works, also added 281 to sequence to match the peashooter page. Looks like the problem has been fixed.

At the age of seven, she saw her father fight fencing with Walmor Chagas in his backyard, during a Hamlet rehearsal. She grew up fascinated with the profession. At 17, after taking the course by Ivan Albuquerque, Rubens Corrêa and Amir Haddad at the Ipanema Theater; although she moved to two options in the entrance exam - History and Communication;  she chose to pursue a career on stage.

She revealed that she never regretted this act, and that the procedure was safe, performed in a private practice of her own gynecologist, and that it was done with her boyfriend's money and consent at the time.

 * Swedish indeed. There's a first chapter, "MUSIK - Musikhistoria och musikaliska grundbegrepp", as well. The title means "Music - History of music and basic musical terms". The capitalized subheadings mean "Basic acoustic terms" and "The acoustics of musical instruments", which probably tells you what you need to know about the content.

Considering the fact that both these articles were posted by User:Jaenzon, who have placed similar dumps on both the user page and the user talk page, I'd say this might be a case of a well-meaning newcomer wanting to contribute what is probably pre-existing personal work, but not knowing how to go about it. As for the value of the texts, I don't know. At a quick glance, they don't look particularly well-written, although they might well be factually correct.

Jeff Fillion

Jeff Fillion (born Jean-François Fillion), is a radio host and businessman in Quebec, Canada. He is often associated with a politically incorrect radio style known as trash radio.

Media – radio career
Fillion began his career in his home town of Chicoutimi in the late 1980s working for CFIX-FM. Most of his reputation comes from his stint, from 1997 to 2005, as morning man with radio station CHOI-FM in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. However, his very controversial and politically incorrect comments, combined with those of André Arthur, resulted in the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) refusing to renew the station's licence in July 2004. The station and license were bought by RNC Media in June 2007 without interruption to its broadcasting.

He was fired on March 17, 2005, in the fallout of the trial from Sophie Chiasson against him and his then-employer. The judgement was particularly severe, with the judge noting that the comments made by Jeff Fillion regarding Miss Chiasson were "sexist, mean, incited hatred, were without cause, wounding and injurious. These comments are a threat to the dignity and honour of human kind in general and particularly to Miss Chiasson.". The participants in the radio show (Fillion and gang) referred to the plaintiff as "a consummate liar," "a cat in heat," as well as "a leech on (hockey player) Alexandre Daigle," "an airhead" and repeatedly suggested Chiasson used sex to get jobs.  Miss Chiasson was awarded $340,000 CAD in punitive damages. . After numerous rumours to the effect that he would be hired by other radio stations in the Quebec City market (which turned out to be unfounded) or by a satellite radio group, he announced his intention of launching a subscription-only Internet radio service. RadioPirate.com was launched on March 17, 2006, exactly a year after he was fired by CHOI-FM. His radio show was also broadcast on XM Satellite Radio, channel 156 until his contract was nullified on August 11, 2011 by the newly merged Sirius XM Canada. His internet station still lives today and a free light version is also available. Fillion was hired by Bell Media and was back on the air beginning March 3, 2014 with his show:"Jeff Fillion" on NRJ 98.9, a Quebec city radio station.

On April 19, 2016, Fillion was suspended indefinitely by Bell Media for a tweet that he posted about an interview that Alexandre Taillefer had given to Guy A. Lepage on the French Canadian show Tout le monde en parle (Quebec). The tweet linked to an article which summarized the interview. The only other content of the tweet was two identical emoji faces which Fillion included, seemingly because they resemble Taillefer. Fillion's tweet was interpreted by his opponents as trying to ridicule Taillefer who was blaming the company Amazon.com for the suicide of his son. Although he rapidly deleted his tweet, Fillion was suspended by Bell Media after Taillefer, while being interviewed by Paul Arcand, publicly questioned the fact that Bell Media was still employing him.

On April 20, 2016, Bell Media announced that Fillion was not an employee anymore.

Political and social views
His politics are a mix of conservatism and libertarianism.

He rejects separatism not for any real attachment to Canada but more because of his perception that sovereignty would only help to increase socialism in Quebec. His father, Gilbert Fillion, was a one-term Member of Parliament for the Bloc Québécois, in the riding of Chicoutimi from 1993 to 1997.

He is an avid critic of the way media treat global warming. He recognizes the presence of global warming but suggests that human action has little to do with it.

Fillion is an amateur of popular economics, wishing to improve the basic level of economics knowledge of Quebecers.

He was an avid critic of the mayor Andrée Boucher who, he believes, kept the city in a state of dust. He believes that NHL hockey should come back to Quebec City, notably by an ownership effort from Red Bull. He proposes that a new arena should be built in a public-private partnership, a project similar to what led Winnipeg to build the new MTS Centre.

Jeff Fillion claims that a new breed of Quebec politicians should regroup, notably identifying leaders such as ex cabinet member Joseph Facal, economist Nathalie Elgrably, radiologist Gaetan Barrette and political reporter Michel Hébert.

2009 Mayoral bid
In October 2009, Fillion announced he would run against current Quebec City mayor, Regis Labaume. His program consists of getting new infrastructures for the city and better spending ethics. He placed second against incumbent mayor, Regis Labeaume, with 8.6% of the votes cast.

Clemens church

Clemens Church (S:t Stefans kyrka) is a church that was rediscovered after archaeological surveys in Lund.

The church was of a type with standing palisade wall (tiles) on a base log (väggplankor på syll).

Connection to King Sweyn Forkbeard
The Encomium Emmae Reginae suggests that, in an effort to spread Christianity throughout Scandinavia, the Danish King Sweyn Forkbeard constructed a Monastery in Lund and dedicated it to the holy trinity. The author of the Encomium Emmae Reginae, a Flemish monk, was likely unaware that no monasteries had as of yet been constructed in Scandinavia by the time of King Sweyn Forkbeard's death (3 February 1014). Thus, the Clemens Church of Lund could very well have been the “monastery” constructed on the orders of King Sweyn Forkbeard. If so, the Clemens Church at Lund serves as an important landmark from the Christianization of Scandinavia.

Thomas Waymark

Thomas Waymark (probably baptised 17 June 1705 ) was an English professional cricketer in the first half of the 18th century. He was probably born at or near to Mitcham in Surrey in June 1705. He is one of the earliest known players on record.

Cricket career
Surviving details of Waymark's life are few, but it is likely that he played cricket during the 1720s. The earliest definite mention of him is in the 1730 season when a match between the teams of his patron, Charles Lennox, 2nd Duke of Richmond, and Sir William Gage was postponed "on account of Waymark, the Duke's man, being ill". He was employed as a groom by Richmond at his estate at Goodwood, at least in part because of his cricketing ability, and is referred to in contemporary sources as "the famous Waymark". In a report of a match two teams organised by Edwin Stead and William Gage at Penshurst Park in 1729, it states that "a groom of the Duke of Richmond signalised himself by extraordinary agility and dexterity". It is generally believed that this was Waymark playing for Gage's XI, who won the match by an innings.

By the 1740s, Waymark was working at Bray Mills in Berkshire as a miller where he was employed by a Mr Darvile. He is known to have played in a number of matches during the 1740s, including during the 1744 season in both of the matches of which scorecards have survived. On 2 June, he played for London against Slindon at the Artillery Ground―Slindon were backed by his old employer Richmond. Then on 18 June, Waymark played for an England XI against a Kent side at the Artillery Ground in the match which commences Arthur Haygarth's Scores & Biographies. With Kent needing three runs to win and with one wicket remaining, Waymark is reported to have "missed a catch" which would have ended the match in his team's favour; Kent went on to win.

Waymark was a noted single wicket player and took part in several big money contests. Single wicket was the most lucrative form of cricket in the 1740s; for example in 1748, Waymark and Robert Colchin played two doubles matches against Tom Faulkner and Joe Harris at the Artillery Ground. At the time, these four were arguably the best players in England. The matches were played for huge prizes of fifty guineas each. Waymark and Colchin won them both, the first by 12 runs and the second by an unrecorded margin.

The last matches Waymark is known to have played took place in July 1749 when he played in a series of three single wicket "fives" matches against Addington, although Waymark did not play in the third match. He is known to have umpired a match later in the year involving the sons of the Duke of Richmond, but there are no other references to him. It is not known when he died.

Style and technique
It is not known which hand Waymark batted or bowled using, but he was noted for his "extraordinary agility and dexterity". Throughout his career, the ball was bowled underarm along the ground at a two-stump wicket. He was an accomplished batsman, although not as highly regarded in this department as his single wicket partner Colchin. The bat was curved like a modern hockey stick and the batsman generally attacked the rolled ball. Batsmen did not develop defensive techniques until the straight bat was invented in response to the pitched delivery, which was introduced in the 1760s, more than a decade after Waymark's career ended.

Hello

PA here... Love everything relating to Hong Kong, from its economy, politics (well maybe not so much), the culture, the history, etc, I just love everything that is Hong Kong. No doubt, I will plan to emigrate from UK to Hong Kong soon/one day. It really depends on how my life unfolds, cos I love exploring, and travelling all over the place, though I wouldn't mind spending more time exploring the Beijing's Old Palace "Forbidden Palace" (北京故宫), the last time I was there (1999-ish), I never got the chance to see the ruins of the "Old Summer Palace" (圓明園), though I did visit the "Summer Palace". Macau's a cool place to check out also.

Sorry, rambling on, lol! Seriously though, I still wish Hong Kong was a British/Crown Colony.

 * Comment - We don't have an article on Rampant Rabbit? I'm surprised. Rob Church Talk 18:22, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Sex toys are not notable, and must earn it like any other product. The best-selling brand of dildo might be notable, as might the first ben-wah balls used in space. In other words, a toy must assert its importance or significance. Denni ☯ 01:21, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, mass-produced items are important and signficant. Kappa 01:51, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * That's the whole problem here, Kappa. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be of the opinion that everything is inherently important and significant. You have not, at least as far as I can tell by your votes, found a single thing you deem as unimportant or insignificant. It appears as if, in essence, you have no criteria for determining if the subject of an article is appropriate and acceptable or not, beyond whether or not it is verifiable. (I believe I saw a delete vote from you once on that basis.) Without such criteria in guiding us as to what is suitable for inclusion and what is not, Wikipedia just ends up becoming the world's largest junk drawer. Denni ☯ 01:37, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The problem here is whether this particular information should be retained or lost, not what criteria I may use. Kappa 02:56, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Not if they're completely interchangable with the larger subject. Craftsman wouldn't merit an article. (No vote on this article in particular.) - A Man In Black  (Talk | Contribs) 05:45, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Hee! It came up as a blue link (to Craftsman - nobody has made an article about that particular screwdriver). - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 05:48, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It came up because of the hash mark: anything following it is treated as a section link, and if there's no section it defaults to the main page: Craftsman and Craftsman  both go to the same place, so the "screwdriver example" doesn't mean what Kappa claims it means. --Calton | Talk 04:36, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * "Doesn't merit an article" is not a reason for deletion, as your screwdriver example demonstrates. Kappa 11:41, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Did you click the link? There's no article about that particular screwdriver (and I'm sure Craftman has made dozens, if not hundreds, of different #0 screwdrivers, even) because it's an interchangable member of a homogenous group. In the case of such a homogenous group, you describe the group as a whole and let that description suffice for the whole "Doesn't merit an article" is one of the two main reasons something would and should be listed on AFD (the other reason is "Unverifiable"); empty articles, copyvio, gibberish/non-English, and such are dealt with elsewhere. "Doesn't merit an article" is why we don't have an article about my toenails, every streetlamp in the world, every single person that has ever been in a news story (be it feature news or obituary), etc. Now, different people may have very different standards of what merits an article, but to say that "This is not an encyclopedic subject" isn't a deletion criterion is just silly. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 14:48, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Why would we even mention your toenails or every single person who has been in a news story? Kappa 15:56, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * We wouldn't, because they are not subjects that merit an article in an encyclopedia. When someone votes "nn" or "non-notable" or "not encyclopedic" or "doesn't merit an article," they're saying it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia for the same reason (probably to a lesser degree) that we don't have an article on my toenails or the dear departed Uncle Mortimer. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 16:00, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * So everything mentioned has to merit an article? Kappa 16:13, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * BZZT. Strawman fallacy. Ten-yard penalty or a yellow card, depending on your country. --Calton | Talk 04:36, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Is your formatting correct? Surely the "strawman fallacy" applies to the toenails... Kappa 05:29, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It's not a strawman argument. I'm simply pointing out that everyone has a point at which they would vote "This subject is notr encyclopedic." For some, this standard is only in the case of patently ridiculous articles (e.g. my toenails, Uncle Morty), whereas for others this standard includes other things (e.g. people with unusual names, unremarkable sex toys, elementary schools). As this is a subjective stadard that varies from person to person, someone can vote "Doesn't merit an article" someone else can disagree, without either person being objectively wrong or voting or bad faith. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 13:01, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * To the contrary, many, many individual items and articles do not merit encyclopedic articles. As such, when you have an article written about an unencyclopedic subject (let's say Uncle Morty) and Uncle Morty's article comes up on AFD, people are perfectly right in saying "Uncle Morty doesn't merit an article" as their reason for deletion. "Doesn't merit an article" is a perfectly valid deletion criterion. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 16:19, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Uncle Morty is a ridiculous analogy, no-one would try to look him up in an encyclopedia. Kappa 17:09, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Uncle Morty might. Uncle Morty's wife might. Uncle Morty's nieces and nephews probably would. So would all Uncle Morty's friends. Heck, more people might look up Uncle Marty than would look up some of the all-but-empty school articles piling up in the corners here. (But he still doesn't get an article. He's not a school.) Denni ☯ 01:24, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence that this product is encyclopedic. Gamaliel 03:42, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I know sex toys, and this brand has never crossed my radar. Xoloz 05:56, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Ron E Sparks

Gregory James Sparks (10 June 1952 – 13 July 2024), better known by his broadcast name Ron E Sparks, was an Australian broadcaster and radio and television voiceover artist.

Early career
Sparks worked in several regional radio stations before moving to Sydney in the 1970s, where he managed to score a role on air at the then-top-rated AM station 2SM as "Ron E. Sparx", and quickly became one of Sydney's most respected announcers, interviewing many stars of the day. In an interview, Sparks stated that 2SM had broader Top 40 content, playing everything from AC/DC and Led Zeppelin, to Barbra Streisand and Benny Hill's milkman song.

The "E" in his name does not stand for anything. It was originally added by program director Rod Muir, who thought that "Ronnie Sparx" sounded too immature, and wanted Sparks to transition gradually to using just "Ron", which he had resisted doing.

Sparks also made a name as a television voice artist, and provided voice overs for several Australian television shows, such as Wheel of Fortune and Hot Streak. On 1 October 1978, he hosted a special edition of ABC-TV's Countdown called Rocktober. After leaving 2SM, Sparks became the program director of another Sydney AM station, 2UW. After leaving 2UW he worked on top-rating FM station Triple M for almost six years before being lured to rival station 2Day FM in 1994.

Departure from 2Day FM
As 2Day FM grew more corporate and entered into a duopoly arrangement with Triple M, Sparks grew increasingly frustrated with group politics and had a hard time dealing with the egos of young network 'upstarts' who were given endless rope to play with. For some young 'stars' it seemed that they could do no wrong, and management always made excuses for them.

One particular complaint he had was with the night team (Kyle and Jackie O) smoking in the studio. This had been going on for some time, and despite it being illegal (2Day was in a high rise building, and smoking in the workplace is against Australian law), the general manager failed to take any action. One morning in 2001, Sparks arrived for his shift to find the studio smelling of stale smoke, and littered with cigarette butts, some of which were floating in glasses of water. He became upset, and wrote "No Smoking" with a marker pen on every physical object he could find in the studio.

Sparks had used permanent marker, which destroyed several hundred dollars' worth of equipment, and he was sacked immediately following his shift that day. Sparks refused media interviews, even though the large majority agreed with him and applauded his actions. He contemplated legal action against 2Day but decided against it, in the interest of saving his career.

Sparks was only out of work for a week before being offered work at Nova 96.9 for the 2001 summer period. In 2002, he moved to WSFM, from which he retired in 2017 after almost 16 years with WSFM.

He was the voice of the Capital Radio Network station 2CA for three decades.

Personal life and death
Sparks was born as Gregory James Sparks on 1952 and was raised in Brisbane. He later lived in the north Sydney suburb of Cammeray with his wife and two sons. He died on 13 July 2024, at the age of 72.

Akim Oda

Akim Oda, a town in Ghana's Eastern Region, serving as the administrative and traditional center of the Birim Central Municipal District and Akyem Kotoku, respectively. The town has 60,604 residents as of 2013.

Geography and climate
Akim Oda is a town in the south of Ghana, surrounded by rain forests. It is located in the basin of the Birim River, which is rich in gold and diamonds. Akim Oda is the capital of the Birim Central Municipal District and has a population of about 60,000 people.

The climate of Akim Oda is semi-equatorial and wet, with significant precipitation during the rainy season from April to June and again from September to November. A dry season is experienced between December and February. During this period, temperatures are also significantly colder.

Agriculture
Akim Oda's economy relies heavily on cocoa, which is grown both on formal and informal plantations, sometimes along the roads. Harvested beans are dried and stored in warehouses until they are ready to be shipped.

The Birim River's northern region hosts a number of palm oil plantations, occupying an area of roughly 6,000 hectares. These plantations are mostly small-scale and independently owned.

The production of palm oil generates various byproducts that can be utilized for other purposes. One of these byproducts is palm kernel cake which is rich in fatty acids and can be used as a raw material for soap-making. Another crop cultivated in Akim Oda is bamboo, which has multiple applications in different sectors. Bamboo can be processed into furniture, flooring, paper, and even building materials, making it a versatile and sustainable resource.

Mining
The Birim river, which flows through the town of Akim Oda, is a source of valuable minerals such as gold and diamonds. Local miners use traditional methods to extract these resources from the river bank, often with simple tools and equipment.

Forestry
The forests near Akim Oda are home to many precious trees, but they are also exploited for timber. Ghana's forest cover has shrunk from 8.2 million hectares in 1900 to 1.6 million hectares in 2000 and is still decreasing rapidly due to the high demand for exports and construction from the growing Ghanaian economy. To counter this trend, forest plantations are being established near Akim Oda (and across the country) under the National Forest Plantation Development Program.

Tourism
Akim Oda offers visitors a variety of experiences, from exploring the mining operations on dug-out boats to witnessing traditional ceremonies with Akan drumming to admiring the largest tree in West Africa. The tree measures 12 meters in circumference and 66.5 meters in height. The outdoor market is also a lively place to sample Ghanaian food and interact with the locals.

Healthcare
Akim Oda Government Hospital serves the Kotoku traditional area and also acts as a referral point for nearby communities in the Akyem states. There are also other major private clinics in the town, such as the Jubilee Hospital and Oda Community Hospital. They provide health care to the people of Akyem Kotoku, Bosome, and part of the Abuakwa traditional area.

Education
Several educational institutions, both public and private, operate in the Kotoku traditional area. The public sector has more than fifteen primary and junior high schools and three major senior high schools. The private sector has over 20 competitive schools.

Notable people
Notable people born in Akim Oda include:

 * Kuami Eugene, a Ghanaian musician
 * Alexander Akwasi Acquah, politician
 * Benjamin Azamati-Kwaku, a Ghanaian sprinter
 * Frederick Asare Bekoe, Chief of Air Staff
 * Ursula Owusu, a Ghanaian lawyer and politician
 * Benny Morgan, a Ghanaian musician
 * Emmanuel Oti Essigba, a Ghanaian footballer
 * Justice Joe Appiah, a politician

Media coverage
The Akyem states and the nation benefit from four major radio stations in Akim Oda. These stations influence social, economic and political issues with their broadcasts.

Talk:Near-close near-front unrounded vowel

Error
Its vowel height is near-open, which means the tongue is positioned similarly to a close vowel, but slightly less constricted.

Shouldn't that be... near-closed? I'm not sure.

 * Yep! Thanks for catching that. kwami 11:29, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

I dont think the vowel in German bitte is the same as the one in Dutch ik/ Engish bit. It is closer to a short /i/. af:Gebruiker:Jcwf

 * I agree. I think the German sample should be removed, as it should actually read . Radioflux 20:42, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I disagree. Oxford's got the near-close vowel for that word.  I do believe that that's the transcription for Standard German although I would be surprised if other dialects weren't different. AEuSoes1 23:51, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

 * German may be close front, near-close front , near-close near-front  or close-mid near-front . It varies from speaker to speaker, the last two values are the most common (I think) in the north, while the first two are more common in the south. I also noticed that northern speakers that use more palatal  are more likely to use a near-close near-front-vowel, while those who use laminal retroflex  are more likely to use a close-mid near-front vowel . --Helloworlditsme (talk) 06:11, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Russian Example
Isn't it an allophone? This kind of defeats the purpose of the example because Russian speakers might think it's equivalent to [e]. I went ahead and deleted the Russian example and included a Ukrainian one to compensate. -Iopq 15:50, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * If you don't think it's a good example, then find one where becomes  instead of .  These examples are all narrow transcription and so allophones are acceptable. Æµ§œš¹ [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi] 17:27, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I dislike the arguments about allophones. We include the allophones in English in many pages, so keep the damn thing. BirdValiant 22:24, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

 * The trouble with using allophones is that native speakers often can't tell them apart. FilipeS 20:05, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Then it's on them to learn more about phonetics. Being a native speaker has little to do with knowing how to pronounce your language... especially if it has a broken (i.e. not having much in common with the contemporary pronunciation) orthography, such as English. — Peter238 (v̥ɪˑzɪʔ mɑˑɪ̯ tˢʰoˑk̚ pʰɛˑɪ̯d̥ʒ̊) 09:04, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I think what you meant to say is that they're not aware of all the different allophones in their speech. Obviously, native speakers know how to pronounce their own language. Also, I'm not sure what point it is you're trying to make with orthography; I'm not aware of any orthography that represents allophones. 213.7.56.181 (talk) 01:17, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I meant that most native speakers can't teach the pronunciation of their native language without some training. By knowing I meant knowing how to explain. It's obvious that they know how to physically produce correct sounds. My point with orthography wasn't allophones, but phonemes. I've heard countless times that English has 5 or 6 vowels - A E I O U Y. Obviously, these are letters, not vowels. — Peter238 (v̥ɪˑzɪʔ mɑˑɪ̯ tˢʰoˑk̚ pʰɛˑɪ̯d̥ʒ̊) 07:58, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

New Zealand English
Don't Kiwis use in the first syllable of seven? Thegryseone (talk) 22:12, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

French error
Hello, I am french. And since when petite is pronounced like that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.148.180.173 (talk) 22:51, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Not sure, but that's how it's pronounced in parts of Quebec. — Æµ§œš¹  [aɪm ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɛ̃ɾ̃ˡi]  11:49, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

English
The article says most dialects have a near-close near-front vowel in bit. I don't think that's true. The vowel is usually lower and more centralized. Is there a source for the statement in the article? — Eru·tuon 17:16, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
 * "Near-front" doesn't have a defined centralization - it's somewhere between front and central. It may be close-mid for some speakers, I don't know, but you seem to be essentially saying that the usual pronunciation of English is  which, of course, is not true. It may be between  and, but definitely not . I've heard a near-close central vowel used idiolectally in American English; this seems to be connected to people whose  have more of a laminal retroflex quality (save, of course, for things like NCVS etc.)

 * Changed to "many dialects". Mr KEBAB (talk) 00:19, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Okay, I was probably wrong on the centrality, because on this site doesn't sound right. What irks me is "near-close", because it implies the vowel is closer than close-mid, and thus between  and  (but near-front rather than front). Is that what near-close is supposed to mean? I think such a vowel quality would only occur in old-fashioned RP, and it sounds kind of funny (or Australian).

 * I'm not comfortable with "many dialects", because there are no sources, and it might just be an assumption based on the default symbol used to represent the vowel in phonemic transcriptions. I once simply assumed it was accurate for my pronunciation, but when I finally analyzed my own speech, I discovered my kit vowel is actually mid (not even close-mid!), and perhaps near-front. Best not to assume.

 * If "many dialects" have the near-close near-front vowel, then which dialects are included in "many", and which aren't? California, Canadian, Scottish, and New Zealand English are some of the ones that partly or completely don't have this vowel. That's a fair number of exceptions. If the number of dialects with the vowel is fewer, then it would be better simply to list them with sources. — Eru·tuon 22:34, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Damn man, you're hard to please. Give me a day or two, you'll get your sources. Mr KEBAB (talk) 01:27, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Ok, I'm discovering more and more sources - see User:Mr KEBAB/Near-close near-front unrounded vowel, which I'll probably move here in a couple of days. Tomorrow, that list will probably be twice as long. If you want to suggest something, use the special section I've just created. Mr KEBAB (talk) 16:47, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

incorrect sound file
The recording in the sound file is much too close to Close-mid front unrounded vowel. --Espoo (talk) 13:30, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

I agree. --Pt.GM (talk) 22:52, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

I also agree (see my comment concerning GA "KIT" vowel). Bladesinger46n2 (talk) 16:06, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

agree as well Emdosis (talk) 18:37, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress
There is a move discussion in progress on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Linguistics which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 08:14, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Schwi?
Over at vowel reduction, this is referred to as a 'schwi', but with no citation. Where on the spectrum of established terminology to cheesy in-joke would this usage fall? 109.255.211.6 (talk) 17:13, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

American English KIT vowel
According to the sound example provided for this vowel (as well as others I have heard), why is the GA "KIT" vowel transcribed as [ɪ] in virtually everything that offers an IPA transcription, including this site? This is definitely not the KIT vowel I hear in my area and on television/radio/etc. According to the sound sample provided on Wikipedia, this vowel sounds almost identical to [ɘ]. Regardless, I think this vowel is certainly a central vowel in the mid to mid/high range. Bladesinger46n2 (talk) 18:51, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Malfunction (parachuting)

A malfunction is a partial or total failure of a parachuting device to operate as intended. Malfunctions may require a skydiver to cut away their main parachute and deploy the reserve parachute.

Pilot chute in tow
This happens with the popular throw-out deployment system where the pilot chute does not pull the pin and open the container or once opened does not exert enough force to extract the deployment bag from the container. It can be caused by pilot chutes with kill lines that have not been cocked during packing or where the kill line has shrunk through use and reduces the drag of the pilot chute. It can be caused by a mis-routed pilot chute bridle. It can also be caused by too large a deployment bag and canopy for the container, although deployment bags should be matched to the containers. The correct procedure with this malfunction is to deploy the reserve from a stable belly down position. If time permits, the skydiver might first attempt to bump their container to dislodge a trapped deployment bag. If this malfunction is temporary and clears, it is called a pilot chute hesitation.

Bag lock
This malfunction occurs when the deployment bag is extracted from the main container, but fails to release the canopy within. The correct procedure to handle the malfunction is to cut away the main and deploy the reserve.

Horseshoe
A "horseshoe" describes a malfunction where a parachute deploys, but remains attached to a skydiver by its risers and at least one other point. This prevents the canopy from opening properly and the canopy and lines form a horseshoe shape extending from the risers up and then back down again to the other point where the parachute remains attached to or entangled with the skydiver. This malfunction may occur when the closing pin of a skydiving rig is released from the closing loop and allows the deployment bag to separate from the container. Because the pilot chute is still stowed, the malfunction takes on the shape of a horseshoe. This malfunction may also occur if the pilot chute or bridle connecting the pilot chute to the canopy becomes entangled with the skydiver. It is possible, though rare, to experience this type of malfunction when one or more parachute lines entangle with or snag on some portion of the parachute rig.

Procedures for clearing a horseshoe malfunction
The skydiver may attempt to extract the pilot chute or clear the entanglement. Extracting the pilot chute, while simple during the course of a normal jump, becomes a new challenge, because its location will have shifted due to the deployment of the main canopy. Skydivers may wish to practice on the ground deploying their pilot chute with the main canopy out of the container in order to gain experience with this procedure. If successfully cleared, the main parachute will likely fail to deploy correctly due to severe line twists. However, the skydiver can treat this as a normal high-speed malfunction, release the main, and deploy the reserve. Failing to clear the entanglement prior to deploying the reserve may result in a main-reserve entanglement.

Slider hangup
This malfunction occurs when the slider does not descend fully, preventing the canopy from inflating completely.

If it is hung up near the top of the lines, the canopy will not provide sufficient lift or drag, and the rate of descent will be high. In this case one will need to cut away the main and deploy the reserve.

If the slider hangs up midway down the lines, the canopy will inflate almost normally (and may or may not be safe to land in that condition). In this case, the slider can be usually "worked" the rest of the way down by pulling on the rear risers, or by releasing the steering lines ("brakes") and pulling them down repeatedly ("pumping"). If the malfunction can not be cleared sufficiently and one decides to cut away, the decision to do so must be made at a high enough altitude to allow the reserve to deploy.

Line over
This malfunction occurs when one or more of the canopy's lines pass in front of the nose prior to inflation. This causes the canopy to open in a "Bow-tie" shape. The result is generally an uncontrollable spin. The correct procedure to handle the malfunction is to cut away although it is sometimes possible to clear the malfunction by collapsing the parachute and letting the line pass back into the right position.

Two canopies out
Since a sport skydiver jumps with a main and a reserve parachute, it is possible for both parachutes to deploy. This often occurs when a skydiver employing an Automatic Activation Device (AAD) deploys the main canopy at an altitude low enough for the AAD to activate. This may result in a dangerous main-reserve entanglement. More commonly, the two canopies will arrange themselves in a biplane, side by side, or a dangerous downplane configuration. Having two deployed parachutes side by side can create considerably more lift to the point of becoming dangerously hard to control. One should always attempt to fly the canopy more overhead. Safely landing a two-out scenario

The two canopies will arrange themselves into a biplane or side by side. At any point it can shift into a down plane, which will accelerate the parachutist quickly downwards. The parachutist must not cutaway while under two canopies due to risk of entanglement of the parachutes unless the canopies begin to shift into a down plane. The moment the canopies are pulling apart from each other is when the parachute should be cut away.

Line twist
This is where a parachute twists around the vertical axis on deployment. This causes the parachute to only partially open especially if the slider is above the line twists. If a parachutist is unable to kick out of the line twists (rotating their body to untwist the lines) they will have to cut away.

Closed end cells
This is when the parachute is open, but the end cells have not yet inflated. This can usually be cleared by waiting for the cells to self-inflate. Alternatively, the parachutist can pull gently on the rear risers or relaxing the steering lines and then pulling them down, as in a flare.

Solid oxygen

Solid oxygen forms at normal atmospheric pressure at a temperature below 54.36 K (−218.79 °C, −361.82 °F). Solid oxygen O2, like liquid oxygen, is a clear substance with a light sky-blue color caused by absorption in the red part of the visible light spectrum.

Oxygen molecules have attracted attention because of the relationship between the molecular magnetization and crystal structures, electronic structures, and superconductivity. Oxygen is the only simple diatomic molecule (and one of the few molecules in general) to carry a magnetic moment. This makes solid oxygen particularly interesting, as it is considered a "spin-controlled" crystal that displays antiferromagnetic magnetic order in the low temperature phases. The magnetic properties of oxygen have been studied extensively. At very high pressures, solid oxygen changes from an insulating to a metallic state; and at very low temperatures, it even transforms to a superconducting state. Structural investigations of solid oxygen began in the 1920s and, at present, six distinct crystallographic phases are established unambiguously.

The density of solid oxygen ranges from 21 cm3/mol in the α-phase, to 23.5 cm3/mol in the γ-phase.

Phases
Six different phases of solid oxygen are known to exist:

It has been found that oxygen is solidified into a state called the β-phase at room temperature by applying pressure, and with further increasing pressure, the β-phase undergoes phase transitions to the δ-phase at 9 GPa and the ε-phase at 10 GPa; and, due to the increase in molecular interactions, the color of the β-phase changes to pink, orange, then red (the stable octaoxygen phase), and the red color further darkens to black with increasing pressure. It was found that a metallic ζ-phase appears at 96 GPa when ε-phase oxygen is further compressed.
 * 1) α-phase: light blue –  forms at 1 atm, below  23.8 K, monoclinic crystal structure, space group C2/m (no. 12).
 * 2) β-phase: faint blue to pink –  forms at 1 atm, below  43.8 K, rhombohedral crystal structure, space group R$\overline{3}$m (no. 166). At room temperature and high pressure begins transformation to tetraoxygen.
 * 3) γ-phase:  faint blue –  forms at 1 atm, below  54.36 K, cubic crystal structure, Pm$\overline{3}$n (no. 223).
 * 4) δ-phase: orange –  forms at room temperature at a pressure of 9 GPa
 * 5) ε-phase: dark-red to black –  forms at room temperature at pressures greater than 10 GPa
 * 6) ζ-phase: metallic –  forms at pressures greater than 96 GPa

Red oxygen
As the pressure of oxygen at room temperature is increased through 10 GPa, it undergoes a dramatic phase transition. Its volume decreases significantly and it changes color from sky-blue to deep red. However, this is a different allotrope of oxygen,, not merely a different crystalline phase of O2.

Metallic oxygen
A ζ-phase appears at 96 GPa when ε-phase oxygen is further compressed. This phase was discovered in 1990 by pressurizing oxygen to 132 GPa. The ζ-phase with metallic cluster exhibits superconductivity at pressures over 100 GPa and a temperature below 0.6 K.

Sheopur district

Sheopur District is a district of Madhya Pradesh state in central India. The district is located in the north of the state and forms part of Chambal division. It is situated on the periphery of Rajasthan, which shows in the influence of Rajasthani culture in this district.

The town of Sheopur is the district headquarters. Other towns include Bijeypur, Karahal and Badoda. The district has a population of 687,861 (2011 census) and covers an area of 6,606 km². It is the third least populous district of Madhya Pradesh (out of 50), after Harda and Umaria. It is one out of 21 tribal districts of Madhya Pradesh.

Geography
Sheopur district is located in the north of Madhya Pradesh in the Chambal division. It is bordered by Morena district to the north, Gwalior district to the east, Shivpuri district to the southeast, and Rajasthan to the south and northwest.

The region is chiefly marked by the presence of the Chambal ravines - the Chambal river marks the border with Rajasthan. Southeast of the Chambal is a plateau region which leads to a range of forested hills in the east of the district where lies Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary.

History
The town of Sheopur and its fort was said to have been founded by Indra Singh of the Gaur Rajputs, feudatories of Jaipur, in 1537. The first historical mention of the region occurs thanks to Nimat Ullah, who recorded an expedition of SIkander Lodhi in support of Raj Dungar who later converted to Islam. Sheopur surrendered to Akbar when he was advancing towards Chittor. Later it was made headquarters of a mahal in Ranthambore Sarkar. In 1808, it was conquered by Daulat Rao Scindia of Gwalior who gave it to his general Jean Baptiste Filose as a jagir. Filose managed to starve out the Gaurs remaining in the fort, who left in 1809. Under Daulat Rao, the town was a mint. While Filose was raiding adjoining territory of Jai Singh of Raghogarh, Singh captured the fort and his family. After 1818, Filose retired to Sheopur as his jagir. Sheopur continued as a part of Gwalior state until 1947 when it became part of independent India. In 1956, it was merged with the remainder of Madhya Pradesh. Sheopur district was carved out of Morena District in 1998.

Economy
In 2006 the Ministry of Panchayati Raj named Sheopur one of the country's 250 most backward districts (out of a total of 640). It is one of the 24 districts in Madhya Pradesh currently receiving funds from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme (BRGF).

Divisions
The district comprises three sub-divisions: Sheopur, Vijaypur and Karahal. Sheopur sub-division consists two tehsils: Sheopur and Baroda. Vijaypur sub-division also comprises two tehsils: Vijaypur and Veerpur. Karahal sub-division comprises the lone tehsil of Karahal. There are two nagar palikas in this district: Sheopur and Baroda and a nagar panchayat, Vijaypur.

There are two Vidhan Sabha constituencies in this district, namely, Sheopur and Vijaypur. Both of these are part of Morena Lok Sabha constituency.

Demographics

Podcast Correspondent
I am Podcast Correspondent since Friday 23rd September 2005, This is my first correspondent update but I was "Trainee" Podcast Correspondent for Iain since his Podcast launched on iTunes. And suggested by listeners that I do "The Most Updates as a Correspondent". Lots of people expected me to be renewed as a Podcast Correspondent but anything can happen.

On 27 December 2005, The correspondent update happened on Iain's show & luckily I was promoted to Podcast Uber Correspondent.

RaptorX's views
ITV:

I loved Thames Television & LWT but for these last few years ITV is being rubbish, Just making programmings with "Celebrity" on it, The only thing I watch on ITV is Tonight with Trevor McDonald.I say "Bring back the old ITV!".

Vandals:

They are like chavs!

Looks like a Bird on a Beach Ball!

Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was keep. H e rmione1980 20:19, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Mathan
Article is about a cartoonist, but I cannot verify this, and I don't think that it can be. First, the last name (or first name, I'm not sure) is missing. Second, I cannot find evidence of existence of the magazine he works for; Aanantha Viakatan turns up nothing on Google (even though I am aware that such magazines might have a hard time reaching mention on the web). I am suggesting deletion based on lack of verifiability. Sjakkalle (Check!)  11:01, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The magazine is Anantha Vikatan/Ananta Vikatan and is very popular in Tamil Nadu. I am not qualified to comment on the popularity of the person. Tintin 16:45, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Looks a valid entry. (Madhan cartoonist tamil) in google gets quite a few hits. In Tamil, 'dh' and 'th' are written the same way, which could explain the title. Tintin 18:18, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep, based on the data from my friends from Tamil Nadu Tintin 22:59, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not everyone in the world needs to have a first name or last name. In fact, traditional Tamil names do not. Ananda Vikatan (one of many spellings used in English) is readable at . Mathan is quite well known among current-day readers of Tamil magazines. Lastly, the Google test has its own biases. Ambarish 05:54, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Thanks for the info and verification. I withdraw my nomination. Sjakkalle (Check!)  06:02, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I can vouch for the notability of both Ananda Vikatan and Mathan. I echo the points made by Ambarish on Tamil names and Google test bias. Also, Mathan can very well be his nom de plume with or without any connection to his real name. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 06:13, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but possibly rename to Madhan, which seems to be the more common English way of writing the name. --Aquillion 20:16, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, I reciprocate the comments above. Madhan is a pretty renowned cartoonist in Tamilnadu with his unique style of cartooning in the Anandha Vikatan magazine. Ram
