Newington College
I am concerned that some of the material added about Newington College is insufficiently neutral in tone. Neutral point of view explains that articles should be written without bias. WP:NOT explains that Wikipedia is not a means to endorse a school. Newington of course has its own website which the article links too. On the same note the Newington website gives contact details and maintains those details - extensive contact details are not appropriate for Wkipedia, we don't need to duplicate the school's website and we cannot maintain it. I hope this explains some of the editing I will do to the article. Regards--User:AYArktos | Talk 19:35, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

You may find the article on Caulfield Grammar School worth looking at as a model of a good school article on Wikipedia. It has reached featured article status. The article covers the following contents: * 1 History o 1.1 Yarra Junction Campus o 1.2 Nanjing Campus * 2 Academics o 2.1 Middle School structure o 2.2 The VCE o 2.3 "The virtual campus" * 3 Caulfield student life o 3.1 Sport o 3.2 The Arts * 4 School uniform * 5 Famous alumni * 6 References * 7 Further reading * 8 See also * 9 External links Note in the peer review comments the following suggestion was made as to how to create a great article:
 * "go into the underlying detail regarding the events that they do mention. For example, they might mention the school's football championships, when it built its campuses and when it celebrated its 100th anniversary, but [should also cover] why the school opened these campuses, why it decided to become a boarding school, what sort of competition it had to face in the football league, what the 100th anniversary celebrations were like, and so on."

Tulsa sound

The Tulsa sound is a popular musical style that originated in Tulsa, Oklahoma, during the second half of the twentieth century. It is a mix of blues, blues rock, country, rock and roll and swamp pop sounds of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Artists considered to have pioneered the Tulsa sound include J. J. Cale, Leon Russell, Roger Tillison and Elvin Bishop. After 1980, Gus Hardin (country), and Jeff Carson (country) released roots music albums. Although Dwight Twilley is from Tulsa, his power pop style bears no resemblance to the Tulsa sound; likewise, David Gates' most recognized songs (including his work with Bread) were mostly in the soft rock genre (though some of Gates' solo album cuts show a stronger Tulsa influence).

History
The first appearance of note by a Tulsa sound musician was Rocky Frisco's Columbia Harmony vinyl album, The Big Ten, under the name "Rocky Curtiss and the Harmony Flames". The album was recorded in New York City at Columbia's studio at 33rd Street and 3rd Avenue in 1959, during a time when Frisco lived in Pennsylvania. Rockabilly musician Clyde Stacy was one of the first, if not the first, Tulsa sound musicians to score a nationally charted record, "Hoy Hoy" b/w "So Young", backed by his band the NiteCaps. This was a double-sided hit released by Candlelight Records in 1957. Members of the NiteCaps during that period were guitarist John D. Levan and others. Levan was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame in August 2004 along with Tulsa Radio Personality "Rockin" John Henry.

Marvin & Johnny recorded "Cherry Pie" in 1954. In 1958, another Tulsan, Billy Reynolds Eustise, and the Tri-Lads scored a hit with "Cherry Pie". Rocky Frisco published blues musician Flash Terry 's photo on his website.

J. J. Cale's "After Midnight" was covered by Eric Clapton. Leon Russell was the first member of the Tulsa scene to make inroads into the Los Angeles music scene, playing for Ricky Nelson along with James Burton. He then joined Phil Spector's Wrecking Crew and then produced Gary Lewis and Jan & Dean. He joined Joe Cocker's Mad dogs and Englishmen. Russell performanced "Jumpin' Jack Flash/Young Blood" at Bangladesh concert. Leon Russell wrote "Super Star" and "A Song for You". The Carpenters covered those songs. Russell recorded "Carney" album, and he gained hit "Tight rope" in 1972. He brought many Tulsans out to Los Angeles, including Carl Radle and Larry Bell, and was later co-owner of the historic The Church Studio in Tulsa and home to Shelter Records, which signed a number of significant Tulsa sound artists including Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The Church Studio was purchased in 2016 by husband and wife Ivan Acosta and Teresa Knox, who have said they intend to renovate the building, seek registration on the National Register of Historic Places, and use it as a recording studio and community facility. Elvin Bishop gained hit "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" in 1976. Jesse Ed Davis and Jim Keltner were from Oklahoma State.

Influence
Eric Clapton was the most prominent non-Tulsa artist associated with the Tulsa sound. For 10 years, his band consisted of Tulsans Carl Radle (bass), Dick Sims (organ), and Jamie Oldaker (drums). During that time Clapton was a frequent performer at a variety of venues in the Tulsa area. In his review of Clapton's 1978 album Backless, critic Robert Christgau wrote, "Whatever Eric isn't anymore . . . he's certainly king of the Tulsa sound."

In addition to Clapton, J.J. Cale's influence has been cited by Mark Knopfler, among others. His songs have been recorded by many artists, including Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Deep Purple, the Allman Brothers Band, Johnny Cash, John Mayer, The Band, Kansas, Santana, Captain Beefheart, Widespread Panic, and Bryan Ferry. The songs of Tulsan Elvin Bishop have often been covered by other artists, including Starship. Taj Mahal had two Tulsans in his band: Chuck Blackwell and Gary Gillmore, and one Oklahoma City native, Jesse Ed Davis.

Music journalist John Wooley and others have noted that the Tulsa sound has directly and indirectly contributed to various other genres of music, including genres outside rock music, such as alt-country and Red Dirt music, the latter of which also originated in Oklahoma (Red Dirt originated in Stillwater). Leon Russell noted: "I'm not sure what the Tulsa sound is, I suppose it started when we were with Jerry Lee Lewis, we would be playing a shuffle while Jerry Lee played straight eighth notes, if that is what they call the Tulsa sound, that's not a bad thing".

Power and Glory

Power and Glory was a professional wrestling tag team in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) from 1990 to 1991. The team consisted of Hercules (Power, strength) and Paul "Romeo" Roma (Glory, looks). The team was managed by Slick.

History
In early 1990, Paul Roma had come off a breakup of The Young Stallions and was used as an "enhancement talent" for wrestlers getting a push. Roma was paired up with the Mighty Hercules into a regular tag team. At this point they were not given a name, nor did the two faces get much air time as a team, being relegated to a few matches against jobbers.

During the summer of 1990, Paul Roma faced Dino Bravo on WWF Superstars of Wrestling, losing after being hit with Jimmy Hart’s megaphone and then pinned. Due to the blow to the head Roma was still in the ring feeling groggy when The Rockers came out for their scheduled match. Roma got mad at the Rockers over coming out and was soon joined by Hercules as the two sides argued. Moments later, Roma and Hercules turned heel by attacking the Rockers, beating them down before leaving the ring together.

One of the matches the new team had was against the other newly formed team of Roma's former partner, Jim Powers and Hercules' former rival, Jim Brunzell, in which Roma and Hercules were victorious when Roma pinned Brunzell after hitting their finisher on Brunzell for the win. (Roma faced Powers numerous times at houses shows, with Roma in all the bouts coming as the winner)

Shortly after their attack on the Rockers, Roma and Hercules unveiled their new manager Slick (who briefly managed Hercules a few years prior), and a new name to go with their attitude - Power and Glory, along with matching outfits. Power and Glory clashed with the Rockers at SummerSlam 1990 with Marty Jannetty being forced to wrestle the match on his own after Power and Glory injured Shawn Michaels' knee before the match (this was a storyline excuse to give Michaels some time off to heal a previously suffered knee injury and he had a noticeable limp on his way to the ring for the SummerSlam match). Once Michaels returned, the feud continued, with the two teams being on opposite sides at Survivor Series, with Power and Glory once again coming out as the victors. Bobby Heenan while doing commentary would sometimes refer to Paul Roma as "Romeo Roma" while Gorilla Monsoon would sometimes refer to Power and Glory as "Herc and Jerk".

The feud culminated on December 28, at Madison Square Garden where both teams fought to a time limit draw. Despite having a number of shots at the WWF Tag Team Champions, The Hart Foundation, Roma and Hercules never won the gold. Their misfortune continued at WrestleMania VII where they lost to the Legion of Doom in 59 seconds.

Soon after, Power and Glory teamed up with Slick’s other charge, The Warlord, for a series of 6-man tag team matches that usually saw the team on the losing side. Their last pay-per-view outing came when they teamed with The Warlord to face Ricky Steamboat, Kerry Von Erich and Davey Boy Smith at SummerSlam 1991 in a losing effort. In one of their last recorded matches together as a team, they lost to the Legion of Doom at the Royal Albert Hall in England. Roma left the WWF soon after in October 1991 and later appeared as one of Four Horsemen in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), while Hercules would remain with the company for a few months before departing as well.

Hercules Hernandez died of heart disease on March 6, 2004.

East Side Lake

East Side Lake is a 40 acre reservoir in Austin, Minnesota in western Mower County, which is in the southeast part of the state. It is one of two man-made lakes in Mower County (the other is Lake Louise), which is one of only four counties in Minnesota without a natural lake. The majority of the lake is only 5–6 feet deep.

Dobbins Creek
The lake's only tributary and only outflow is Dobbins Creek, which starts in Red Rock Township and flows through Nicolville.

For decades, untreated sewage (including feces) from the unincorporated community of Nicolville was dumped into Dobbins Creek approximately three miles (5 km) upstream from East Side Lake. Fecal bacteria were measured at up to 11 times the level allowed in surface water by state law. The town installed a sewage treatment system in 2010.

Surgency

Surgency is a trait aspect of emotional reactivity in which a person tends towards high levels of positive affect. The APA Dictionary of Psychology defines it as "a personality trait marked by cheerfulness, responsiveness, spontaneity, and sociability but at a level below that of extraversion or mania."

In children, surgency is an emotional dimension that is characterized by high levels of activity and positive emotion, impulsivity, and engagement with their environment. It has been linked to the Big Five personality trait of extraversion in children. High surgency in children as identified by parental self-report has been associated with lower levels of effortful control. A 2003 meta-analysis of gender differences in temperament showed a small to moderate gender difference in surgency levels between boys and girls, with boys showing higher levels of surgency and "generally indicating that boys are slightly more active, less shy, and derive more pleasure than girls from high-intensity stimuli."

Thurstone and Thurstone identified surgency by the word "fluency". This concept of fluency is very broad, and includes facility both in speech and in writing. Cattell found that of all of the objective tests developed for assessing temperament, the fluency tests were the most valid for testing surgency. Studman had also come to similar conclusions.

Caimin Douglas

Caimin Christian Douglas (born 11 May 1977 in Rosmalen, North Brabant) is a Dutch Antillean former sprinter.

Biography
Douglas was born in Rosmalen, to a Dutch mother and an Antillean father. At the age of five the family returned to his father's roots in Curaçao. There he played football from the age of 11 for his local team in Willemstad and the Antillean youth squad. His pace was his main technique on the pitch and this formed the basics for his running career. In 1997 as a newcomer he won the 100 metres and 200 metres during the Curaçao Championships; he also won several other medals at other disciplines during the games. Inspired by fellow Curaçao sportsman Andruw Jones, Douglas ran his first international meeting in Puerto Rico and impressed a delegation of the University of Texas. After finishing his civil engineering study in Curaçao he made the move to Texas. During a test race he ran the fastest time ever run over 100 metres at the university and at the end of his first year he was named "All American".

In 2000 Douglas was determined to achieve his international breakthrough, but due to injuries this was set on hold. He kept on fighting and eventually qualified for the 100 and 200 metres at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney representing the Netherlands Antilles. In the series of the 100 metres he did not finish due to a groin injury. He was unable to recover from the injury before the start of the series for the 200 metres and had to cancel his participation. In his final year at the University of Texas he won another two "All American" titles and together with his 4 x 100 metres relay team he broke a 29-year-old University record.

In 2001 he became Dutch national champion over 200 metres and qualified for the World Championships in Edmonton, where he reached the second round still representing the Dutch Antilles. After his 2001 outdoor season he decided to represent the Netherlands in the future and defended his 200 metres national title straight away. He ran the qualification times for the European Championships over 100 metres, 200 metres as well as for the 4 x 100 metres relay team, but due to his nationality switch he was not allowed to perform in international competitions for a year.

The next mission of Douglas, together with Patrick van Balkom, Timothy Beck and Troy Douglas was to reach the 2003 World Championships in Athletics in Paris with the 4 x 100 metres relay team. Despite missing the national limit (after already having broken the international limit) with only a few hundreds of a second the Dutch Athletics Association (IAAF) decided to send the team to the World Championships anyway. Douglas missed the series due to toothache and the team with Guus Hoogmoed as his substitute ran a new Dutch record in 38.72 seconds. In the semi-finals Douglas felt fit enough to participate and the record was broken again, to 38.63 this time. In the final, when they ran to the fourth place they came to 38.87 seconds. Due to the positive test of Dwain Chambers the British team that finished second was disqualified and the Dutch were awarded the bronze medal.

With the same team, he participated in the 4 x 100 meters relay at the 2004 Summer Olympics, but they were eliminated in the series due to a mistake at the changing area between him and Van Balkom. In December 2004 he graduated at the University of Texas for his Environmental Science study. After this he moved to the Netherlands to settle himself there and he did not participate in many athletics events that year. In 2006 he achieved a silver medal at the Dutch national indoor championships by finishing second behind Hoogmoed. Douglas became Dutch national champion over 100 metres in 2006 and with a groin injury he still participated in the European Championships in Gothenburg where he disappointed in the individual events, but managed to become eighth with the Dutch national 4 x 100 metres relay team. Just days after the European Championships he had a groin surgery.

After recovering from his injury he won the silver medal over 100 metres and 200 metres in 2007 at the Dutch National Championships. He was unable to qualify himself for the World Championships in Osaka and he also failed to qualify for the individual sprint events for the 2008 Summer Olympics. The 4 x 100 metres relay team together with teammates Maarten Heisen, Patrick van Luijk and Guus Hoogmoed (Gregory Sedoc and Virgil Spier as reserves) did qualify for the Olympics. Initially they finished in 17th position during the qualification process while only the first 16 teams would qualify, but due to the cancellation of the Australian team they were allowed to start in Beijing. In their qualification heat Heisen, Hoogmoed, Van Luijk and Douglas placed third in behind Trinidad and Tobago and Japan, but in front of Brazil. Their time of 38.87 was the fifth fastest out of all sixteen participating nations in the first round and they qualified for the final. In the final, the second baton change between Hoogmoed and Van Luijk failed, resulting in a slow time. They still finished the race to place seventh, before the disqualified Chinese team.

This article is gobbledygook
This article was written from an ideological viewpoint that embraces postmodernism and social constructivism, which is why it's unintellible. It's also far longer than it needs to be.

Ivory tower
Does it make sense to include a link to Ivory tower in the "See also" section? I note the following changes:
 * 11 July 2014, Maurice Carbonaro [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Participatory_action_research&diff=prev&oldid=616502223 added] the link with edit summary "Added a == See also == section with * Ivory tower"

Orao is a subsonic aircraft and can break the sound barrier only in a dive.

According to Air Forces Monthly only three to four Mig-21s are flying, one of them a trainer.--216.52.73.254 20:40, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

See, here is the problem with this article: Aircraft in the Serbian AF are constantly being taken in and out of service as they are rotated and repaired by Moma Stanojovic facility. So if someone a month ago reported 24 Mig-21s, that number is already outdated. It is impossible to say that they have X number of aircraft of type Y, because they are always taking aircraft out of operational status and putting other aircraft in operational status as they are repaired. For this reason we cannot say how many operational aircraft Serbia has, we can only say how many they have in service, and maybe only a very vague estimate of how many of those might be operational. Edrigu 23:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Here is a table which lists total number of each type of aircraft delivered and how many are still in service, and it seems pretty uptodate. Maybe we should include this table? Edrigu 00:05, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Mig-29
I would like to ask who ever is writing and the end of my post that “this argument is not a strong one” to not do so because that is and opinion if you have any disagreements post them here, I'am not Serbian but I have been trying to keep this article as much authentic as possible and New I have just posted some proof about your Mig-29 Gon4z 01:10, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

User 67.180.109.56 stop adding your own options tot eh article they are not true and are not facts they are just what you think this is the last time i will warn you get a profile because if not then your IP address will be suspended from editing any article Gon4z 23:07, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Future
JAS-39 Grippen costs $50 million EACH how could Serbia afford 20 of them which will cost $1 billion with a military budget of $600 million that is delusional, I mean only twon countries own JAS-39 Grippen’s which is Sweden the maker of the aircraft and South Africa which still has not received most of them yet. The other two countries operating them are Hungary and Czech Republic both have only 12 in Service and both courtiers don’t own them they are only on lease for a 5 – 10 years and just that cost more a year than Serbia can afford, we have to be realistic when it comes to this.

Serbia like all the other Ex-Yugo states & Albania depends on military aid and donations the only possible future jets for Serbia are 12 – 20 F-16A/B Block 15 from one of the Dutch states or USA even these will be given for around $5 million each and maybe a couple donated and why is the F-16 a possibility is because 4 Serbian pilots each year are trained on F-16A/B Block 15 in Italy so that is the only possible future jet nothing else. This is not including the 5 Mig-29 that are being overhauled

As for the helicopters Serbia is trying to get into NATO not Warsaw pact there has been no announcement of any new purchases being made of Mi-171 or any helicopters, there are only the real possibility of donations and most likely are the IAR 330 witch is a Romanian copy of the Sa.330 or donations of Sa.330 or Sa.322 from France, nothing else is a possibility for now. And even these donations are somewhere around 10 -15 aircraft.

The only transport aircraft that is possible is the G-222 as its very cheep and they will most likely come from Greece either a donation or a cheep purchase and no more than 5 will be bough because it’s a breach of the down size regulation.

Also there is no and I men No purchases being made by the Serbian military until 2012 the only new weaponry that can come into Serbia’s arsenal are domestic made and even those will be in small number and mainly ground weaponry.

The G-4 will be upgraded after 2010 because of economical issues at this time

These speculation on purchasing a huge amount of aircraft is a much of Bull Crap, Serbia like all other Ex-Yugo states has to cut down its military forces and switch to western weaponry as soon as possible. I remember a while back this article use to say Serbia will purchase 50x Su-30 which is a bunch of CRAP

Look I don’t mean to offend but some of the things being put into this article are pure nonsense, it would be like me saying Macedonia or Albania is getting 20 – 30x F-22 jets very delusional 82.35.34.170

Dear 82.35.34.170 who I am under heavy suspicion is former member Gonz4....

your opinon on "all ex Yugo republics should switch to Western weaponry" is just that...Your opinon and does not reflect that of the Serbian government or any one else who actually matters.

Second your claims as to what should and should not be purchased are your unsourced claims...which we do not care for. Do you have official reports from the Serbian MOD or any other Government institution to back your claims? If you are not a expert or do not understand...which you strongly don't seem to, then don't bother contributing.

 * Warsaw pact does not exist anymore (buying Russian weaponry does not imply "joining" some pact...)
 * Serbia does not depend on any military donations and has received no weapons,vehicle's,equipment from any nation as it does not require them, I suggest you study up a bit before making such claims.
 * Serbia has already downsized the army to meet Dayton accords in 2000, further downsizing is for the purpose of modernization and removal of obsolete and excess equipment.

we are quite aware of financing problems in the air force (which is why we have identified them) however sourced claims from the MOD have been made well aware of that increased defense budget in the following 4-5 years will greatly improve the defense force due to high economic success.

P.S next time try and refrain from using (Crap,bull crap,BS,bunch of crap etc...) when making a argument, if you wish to be taken seriously... Buttons 11:27, June 13 2007 (UTC)

modernization

 * The Serbian AF and AD comander General-major Dragan Katanić has told that Serbian AF will after modernization of 5 MiG-29s, one An-26 and 7 helicopters modernized another four An-26s and it will get new fighters until 2015. The possible fighters, according General-major Dragan, are Mirage 2000, JAS-39, F-16 Block 15, MiG-29 SMT and Su-30. Srđan Popović 17. June,2007.

MiG-27???
I think that the info about the MiG-27 in Serbian Air Force is fake. - Kos93

Formatting of the article
Hi there, I've been trying to improve the readability of this article with various corrections to spelling, grammar and vocabulary. I've also been trying to seperate some of the lists into actual bulleted lists in the wikipedia style. Somebody has reverted my edits back to incomprehensible lumps of huge sentences with loads of commas.

It might be I made some errors in the lists as it was not at all clear what the facts are in the text provided. If someone disagrees with using lists and thinks the paragraphs are better then please explain your point of view here in the discussion, rather than us just having an edit war on the article.

I seem to have reverted someone's correction of my edits with respect to these lists ... my apologies for that, I hadn't realised exactly what had happened in the history until after I'd done it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.201.152.192 (talk) 10:16, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

... and spelling
I just reverted an edit which relates to the above. Please explain your reasoning for changing the appearance of that section rather than just editing it.

I would have tried to pick out the genuine facts and information that was introduced in the edit, but the spelling and grammar were such that I couldn't understand a lot of it. I know that is perfectly explainable by the fact it was probably someone working in their second language, but in any case if you are unsure please use the spelling support available.

If in doubt, stick it on the discussion page and someone will help! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.201.152.220 (talk) 00:25, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Why?
Why do you (presumably?) children feel the need to lie and add things out of your own phantasy or wishful thinking that you have read somewhere? Who do you think you are fooling? Yourselves? "Foreigners"? Into what? Into thinking that the Serbian Air Force is more powerful than it is? For what gain? Just leave it realistic with the real numbers. I see you clowns:

- adding Kobac aircraft (which don't exist, only one demonstrator is being dragged around, but it isn't even a prototype and it doesn't fly, and it sure is not in the inventory of the Air Force) into the inventory, with a made up number of "2+".

- removing the mention that the Mig-21 is being retired in 2013 (to be more precise, most of the single seaters are being retired in March, the UM will still fly for a short while) and adding that they are being modernized, referencing articles that themselves state that these aircraft are being retired, so you are clearly lying.

- always putting modernized behind the Mig-29s, even though you full well know that only the radio has been changed to a newer one and a NATO compatible IFF has been installed, there was no "modernization" in the sense of higher combat capability, it was just an overhaul. The radar isn't better than before, it doesn't support new weapons, nothing.

- claiming that Mig-29Ms "have already been ordered", even though no such thing has happened and you can not provide a source for it, which is against wikipedia rules. So again, just your wet dreams. You are also referencing tabloid articles with vague formulations and speculations that do not provide confirmation that what you claim on this wikipedia article, has actually happened.

- putting Serbian UAVs which are still under development, like the Pegaz, of which only one prototype exists, with made up numbers in the inventory.

- Changing the numbers of aircraft in the inventory and the total number of aircraft to outdated numbers that have no relation to today's reality anymore, for what? Does that make you feel strong?

- Removing mentions that for example all but 2 An-26 have been refurbished and that the rest are grounded. And it's always the same guy with the same IP adress that does that. Same goes for the Yak-40, which are ALL grounded for good.

- Writing that the G-4 will be modernized to "G-4MD standard" (What is that standard? What does it entail? Something can't be a standard if it isn't defined. So for now, MD is just an empty phrase word that was used for propaganda purpose by the former defense minister, and not an actual program). And even though in the past you were modest and used the 15 number that was circulated by clueless people in the media, now you have just gone ahead and put 25 in there. WTF is wrong with you children?

- 15 Lasta aircraft have been ordered, yet someone put a + behind the 15. WHY? Why in the name of god do you feel the need to do that?

- Why do you remove the mention of how many J-22 are overhauled and flying?

- Why do you write that over 60 Mig-21 are in service, when everyone full well knows that only around 6 aircraft are actually flying?

- Who ever believes that 33 J-22 Orao are able to fly is a fool. It would be good if a whole squadron of 12 could actually take off tomorrow if it needed, but it can't.

- What does a picture of a private airclub have to do with the Serbian Air Force? Get serious, this isn't a forum where you can go and lie to each other.

This whole page is basically just a dreambook. Nothing else. ALL the numbers are just made up wet dreams.

Does the reality hurt your inferiority complex? Or why do you feel the need to do that? More often than not, as a Serb you have to feel ashamed for your countrymen, especially the young males.

I am telling you the reality looks like this:

In April 2013, the Serbian Air Force will consist of 2 Mig-29B, 1 Mig-29UB, 1-2 Mig-21UM, and that's that for supersonic aircraft.

Then there's between 6-10 J-22 that are able to fly, and around the same number of G-4.

1 An-2 and 2 An-26 make up the transport aircraft fleet.

1 new Piper Seneca that has been damaged already, but is used for air photography.

5 Lasta and a couple of Utva-75 trainer aircraft.

Some 40 Gazelle, of which more than half aren't airworthy.

7 old Mi-8 and 2 Mi-8MT (Mi-17)

And that is that. Nothing else that the former Yugoslavia once purchased and that is still physically inside of Serbia, is able to fly, nor will it ever fly again. And you adding made up phantasy numbers won't change that. You are not fooling anyone but yourself.

Also, no new fighter aircraft has been ordered, yet, no matter what someone on a Forum says. They are lying there just like you are lying here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.231.40.133 (talk) 12:43, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Request for comments
There is a request for comments that is likely of interest to this article at Talk:Rajka_Baković. --- Otr500 (talk) 16:25, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Summarizing
There were a lot of edits on this page and this is the result summarized: 1)Serbia had 5 mig 29s after the war but one crashed many years ago thus only 4 remaining. 2)Russia donated 6 old mig 29s and Buks to Serbia which will be delivered in March this year 3)Belarus is also giving 8 old mig 29s and two Buks to Serbia, delivery schedule TBD 2)3)The migs are probably of the same initial version as Serbia has now, and will have to be repaired to flying condition at Serbia's cost 4)This will make a total of 18 aircraft, thus one small scaled squadron. Given Serbia's very limited economic capabilities, the purchase of new aircraft was not possible in the first place(low per capita GDP) and such donation on condition of paying repair costs was the only possible way. This number might be the maximum Serbia can maintain at its economy scale, if we ignore that Western jets cost mire to maintain. The purpose would be first strike on ground weaponries such as missile launchers if an aggression by Croatia or Kosovo take place, as it was shown in 1999 and other occassions that the Mig 29 cannot survive air combat. It lacks a modern radar/fire control system, the export version in particular. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noob2013 (talk • contribs) 02:00, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Content dispute 29 May 2017
Hi again and. I'm dropping in from the dispute at Equipment of the Serbian Army to see if we can hopefully talk through the issues on this article and avoid full protection. Thomas.W, I noticed you objected to Evandro321's sources in this series of edits. It looks to me like Evandro321 didn't add sources in that edit, only repositioned sources that were already being used. If these sources are a problem, can we find better ones?

I also see that Evandro321 added a number of images to the tables in the article, but way further back in the history (here) it was suggested that there shouldn't be images within the tables, and as an editorial (non-administrative) note I tend to agree. I also noticed over on Commons that a number of images that Evandro321 added were removed for copyright violations. I've removed the images from the table and fixed some formatting problems that Evandro321 introduced.

Russian donations
I made this edit. I will like to explain myself.

Military industry is a serious bussiness. However, it is not like buying/selling cars. Specially when involves governaments and long stories behind. As far as I know, countries deal military equipment in numerous ways, often to hide their real values for different reasons. Often countries give or receve military equipment within country debt adjustments. Or, special prices are made in exchange for other goods or services. Anyway, my point here is the use of the word "donation". I went on to google and I found out that the expression started with Russian website published in Serbia, sputnjik.rs, in 2017, making a sensacionalistic title how Russia is giving as gift the MiG-29s and Antonovs. Next we see how around 20 other Serbian websites literally copy/paste the story. Hardly any noteces the conflict of interess which the website sputnjik has. By being a Russian website published in Serbia, it has a goal of promoting friendly relations between the two countries. Nothing wrong with that obviously, however, using the words "gift" (later slightly altered to "donation" here on wiki) should correspond to the real meaning of the word. The MiG-29s for instance were given with the condition that Serbia should pay their repair and upgrade to certain company and so and so...

A "gift" for me is something that I buy and give to my girlfriend and she takes it and smiles. Like a pair of earings which she can use right away.

However, if I give her something, like a broken car, a Corsa from late 1990s, and I tell her that she needs to take it to my buddy Mike to his car repair garage (and only Mike´s) and pay 1.000 USD to make its engine work, plus around 500 bucks more to upgrade it to pass the inspection regarding wheels, lights, pollution emission, etc., well, I guess my gf would smack me in my face if I asked her if she liked the "gift". "Hey sorry baby, I meant donation... this is your bday donation from me... wait, why are you crying and running away from me?"

But of course, if it was some desperate girl wanting by all means to get that guy for some reason, she will obviously go around telling how sweet he is and how great his gift is! How lucky she is to have somebody to give her such a gift, despite all costs of repair limitation of having to give the repair expense to my friend Mike garage without option of looking for maybe some cheaper.

Then her father of course (Vucic) who wants by all means to show to the world how great relation he has with his family, to who´se father he works for: "Oh, indeed, such a spectacular gift. I even feel ashamed that my daughter accepts such a generous donation for free... despite him having said the car gift is part of the technical details of my contract in his firm, and he will charge me trough them.... but its such a lovely gift" ... pardpn, donation.

The source is here: rtv.rs. We can all see the presidentand minister going from "gift" to "part of a technical-militar agreement".

Finally, we see an exemple of balkans.aljazeera.net protecting themselves from making claims, by clearly starting the news with "The media says..." and then "The information comes from the website sputnjik which doesn´t cite a source..."

So, from what I know how our rules work here, we should at least take an approach similar to aljazeera and take with caution claims that such expensive military aircraft are "gifts" or "donations" when sources using those claims clearly have in their interest presenting the situation that way. I would rather go with the defense minister that despite being next to the president and having to share his enthusiasm, at least protected himself saying "it is part of a military-technical agreement" instead of free gifts, loves and kisses...

Discovery Islands

The Discovery Islands are a group of islands located at the northern end of the Salish Sea and the eastern end of Johnstone Strait, between Vancouver Island and the mainland coast of British Columbia, Canada.

Most of these islands have very few residents. Only Quadra Island and Cortes Island have ferry service. The remainder are served by private boat or float plane.

Geography
The complex geography of the area can make it difficult to determine when travelling by boat if a sighted coastline belongs to the mainland, Vancouver Island, or one of the Discovery Islands.

Major islands
The Discovery Islands are all located within the Strathcona Regional District, except for a few of the southernmost, such as Hernando Island and Savary Island, which are in the Powell River Regional District. The larger islands within the Discovery Islands are:

 * Strathcona Regional District
 * Cortes Island (west: Subtle Islands)
 * Hardwicke Island (north: Poyntz, Seymour, Murray; west: Yorke; south: Helmcken)
 * West Thurlow Island
 * East Thurlow Island (west: Walkem Islands; south: Tum)
 * Sonora Island (northwest: Hardinge, Block)
 * Stuart Island
 * Quadra Island (north: Okis Islands)
 * Maurelle Island
 * Mitlenatch Island
 * Read Island (east: Hill Island, Penn Islands)
 * Rendezvous Islands
 * Raza Island
 * West Redonda Island (south: Mink, Kinghorn, and the Martin Islands; north: Elizabeth)
 * East Redonda Island (south: Melville, Morgan, Eveleigh, Otter, and the William Islands; north: Double, Channel)
 * Marina Island
 * Twin Islands

 * Powell River Regional District
 * Hernando Island (east: Copeland Islands)
 * Mink Island
 * Savary Island

Major waterways
The Discovery Passage starts where the Strait of Georgia narrows between Quadra Island and Vancouver Island and continues north to Chatham Point, where it meets the Nodales Channel and Johnstone Strait.

Tourism
The primary attraction for visitors are salmon fishing, sailing, kayaking, and hiking.

Alfonso Arana

Alfonso Meléndez Arana (March 31, 1927–November 18, 2005) was a painter of Mexican and Puerto Rican ancestry who was born in New York City. As a young man, Arana studied art in Mexico at the Atelier de Jose Bardasano, at the Manhattan School of Arts in New York, the Académie Julian and L'Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Paris, and did post graduate work at the American University in Washington, D.C.

Early life
Arana was born in New York City on March 31, 1927 to a Mexican father and a Puerto Rican mother. When he was young, the family moved to San Sebastián, Puerto Rico where the young painter spent his youth. At age six, Arana made his first picture and presented it to his mother. His father, a businessman, did not want his son to become an artist. This caused a major rift between father and son.

Arana studied art in Mexico at the Atelier de Jose Bardasano, at the Manhattan School of Arts in New York, the Académie Julian and L'Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Paris, and did post graduate work at the American University in Washington, D.C.

Arana became known for his style of almond-shaped, hollow yet expressive eyes in a face without a skull and with a slightly oversized body. He is also well known for his use of light, sophisticated and almost transparent colors. Arana himself defines his style as expressionism and mannerism. The artist once explained that his alive and expressive human figures do not have any skulls because "they are receptacles of the active things in the world as is God, nature, life, whatever we want."

His works are often unsettling for the degree of expression shown by his silent figures. Most initiates to his style might find his paintings to be disturbing. However, after an initial period, viewers of his paintings often find beauty within the figure's expressions.

Arana exhibited his work in Tokyo, Paris, New York, Mexico City, Puerto Rico, and Spain. In 1986, he created the Fundación Francisco Arana, an organization dedicated to foster art. Once a year, the Fundación gives an outstanding art student a scholarship to live and study in Paris.

Arana suffered Parkinson's disease for quite a few years and died of associated complications on November 18, 2005 in his house in Paris in the company of his wife Simone Christophe, and daughter Rosa Meléndez Ibarra.

Of his art, Arana said:

 * My figures have the elements of life and light. That light that invades the body is the spiritual side of these beings  and I like painting in that spiritual space.  Each figure transcends life beyond real life and I feel the beings come from within me and then I, myself become part of their  world.  They are real to me, they are my friends.

Arana taught his daughter, Rosa Ibarra, who also went on to study and exhibit art in Paris, France.

Fontinettes boat lift

The Fontinettes Boat Lift (French: Ascenseur des Fontinettes or Ascenseur à bateaux des Fontinettes was built in 1888 on the Canal de Neufossé and connected the river Aa and the Neuffossé Canal in Arques, near Saint-Omer in the Pas-de-Calais.

Design
The boat lift was designed by Edwin Clark (who also designed the Anderton Boat Lift) and M. Bertin a French engineer. The metal was supplied by Société des anciens établissements Cail (now the Fives Group).

Description
The Fontinettes Boat Lift was capable of lifting vessels of 300 tonnes displacement. It was designed to avoid the need to use five locks, which took some 90 minutes, to change height by 13 metres. It was inspired by the similar Anderton Boat Lift built in 1875 in Cheshire, England. The original five locks were kept in place until 1963 for use when the lift was being maintained.

The lift consists of two caissons each weighing 792 tonnes, including the lifting piston of 90 tonnes. Doors on the caissons and on the canal end are hydraulically powered, and sealing is effected by inflatable seals. In operation, the upper caisson is lowered and 64 tonnes of extra water is added. It is then raised again by hydraulic pressure from an accumulator, and when released, the two caissons exchange position. Six men were required to operate the lift, the balancing operation took only 5 minutes. All power, including to the workshop, came from water turbines.

The boat lift was built between 1885 and 1888 and worked until 1967. It was then replaced by a big, single lock (écluse des Fontinettes), built about 500m upstream. This lock can handle large barges and push-tows up to 144m long and 11.50m wide (or up to 6 smaller barges of Freycinet dimensions) and takes about 20–30 minutes to operate. The difference in level of 13.15m is 50 centimetres less than that of the original locks and lift.

The lift was rescued from demolition by a local conservation group and guided tours are available during the summer months for a small fee. There is also a small museum and workshop. As of 2019 most of the mechanism is encased in scaffolding and plastic sheeting for a major restoration. The upper canal bed is full of soil (no water) and builders' equipment.

Historical monument
The boat lift was awarded the status of Monument Historique in 2014.

Talk:Département

Why is this page here?
I think this article should be removed. In English, the word "department" is used to refer to the French "département." (See AHD |department). ----Eric 18:52, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Is the English Wikipedia going to have a redirect page for any French word that occurs in the encyclopedia? -Eric (talk) 19:07, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Why shouldn't it? — Brian ( talk ) 22:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know--it seems superfluous and unnecessary to me. I was hoping to be enlightened as to its function. I think the en Wikipedia would become bloated if it had a redirect page for every foreign language word that occurs in the encyclopedia's text.
 * In any case, I don't think it should simply redirect to Departments of France, since the French word département has several other meanings (as in English) and I believe is used in several other French-speaking countries for their geographic and administrative divisions. I would say if it must exist, the page should redirect to the en page Department. -Eric (talk) 12:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with you that the appropriate redirect target is department, and as to why we need the page, I can't see a compelling reason to delete it. Redirects are cheap and take up virtually no server space. Keep it, I say, but change it to point to the more generic page. — Brian ( talk ) 13:57, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Torre Astura

Torre Astura, formerly an island called by the ancients merely Astura (Greek: Ἄστυρα), is now a peninsula in the comune of Nettuno, on the coast of Latium, Italy, at the southeast extremity of the Bay of Antium, on the road to Circeii. The name also belongs to a medieval coastal tower in the same site, as well as to the river which rises at the southern foot of the Alban Hills, and has a course of about 33 km before flowing into the sea immediately to the southeast.

It was called Storas (Στόρας) by Strabo, who tells us that it had a place of anchorage at its mouth. It was on the banks of this obscure stream that was fought, in 338 BC, the last great battle between the Romans and the Latins, in which the consul Gaius Maenius totally defeated the combined forces of Antium, Lanuvium, Aricia and Velitrae. At a much later period the little island at its mouth, and the whole adjacent coast, became occupied with Roman villas; among which the most celebrated is that of Cicero, to which he repeatedly alludes in his letters, and which he describes as locus amoenus et in mari ipso (a pleasant place and right by the sea), commanding a view both of Antium and Circeii, and to which he retired on the death of his daughter Tullia in 45 BC. It was from thence that, on learning his proscription by the triumvirs, he embarked, with the intention of escaping to join Brutus in Macedonia; a resolution which he afterwards abandoned. We learn from Suetonius also that Astura was the occasional resort both of Augustus and Tiberius, but due to its unhealthy climate, both Augustus and Tiberius contracted here the illnesses which proved fatal to them. Existing remains show that many of the Roman nobility must have had villas there. There is scholarly conflict as to whether there was a town of the name, as asserted by Servius. Up to at least the early 20th century, the remains of only one villa had been found on the island itself, but along the coast c. 1.5 km to the north-west a line of villas begins, which continues as far as Antium. To the south-east, on the other hand, remains are almost entirely absent, and this portion of the coast seems to have been sparsely populated in Roman times.

The island was at some time or other joined to the mainland by a bridge or causeway, and it thus became, as it now remains, a peninsula projecting into the sea. It is surmounted by a fortified tower, called the Torre di Astura, a picturesque object, conspicuous both from Antium and the Circeian headland, and the only one which breaks the monotony of the low and sandy coast between them. The medieval castle of the Frangipani family, in which Conradin vainly sought refuge after the battle of Tagliacozzo in 1268, is built upon the foundations of a very large villa, of opus reticulatum with later additions in brickwork, and with a small harbour attached to it on the south-east. The castle was later a fief of the Caetani, the Orsini and the Colonna. Remains of buildings also exist behind the sand dunes, which possibly mark the line of the channel which separated the island from the mainland, and these may have belonged to the post-station on the Via Severiana.

The Tabula Peutingeriana reckons Astura c. 10 km from Antium, which is rather less than the true distance. The island seems to have existed as such in the time of Pope Honorius III.

Tea Society of a Witch

Tea Society of a Witch is an interactive AnimePlay DVD version of the Japanese bishōjo game Majo no Ochakai (魔女のお茶会) by Front Wing. The English-language version is an all-ages DVD game based on the Japanese Dreamcast version. There is also a Japanese version with adult content for Windows. The main character is a young high school boy who meets a couple of witches. Depending on the choices made throughout the game, different endings can be achieved. An example of such a choice is the character who the player chooses to talk to each morning. The three girls who can be talked to each day in the English version are Nee, Drill, and Manamu.

Characters

 * Rokusuke: He is the protagonist. He is a normal high-school boy. He boards Nee.

 * Megumi: Rokusuke's childhood friend. She is very energetic, but very lazy at home, and depends on Rokusuke to wake her up each morning. She boards Ponica at her house.

 * Ponica: The most advanced of the three witches. She has a cool and serious attitude which is may be the cause of her good grades. She may look like a child, but she is an adult.

 * Nee: The student who tries twice as hard as everyone else, but almost always fails.

 * Akiwo: The witches' instructor. She is quite an oddball, as her personality changes, and is randomly popping up everywhere.

 * Drill: A rich young brat, who always has her 'dog' Poochie with her. She is adept at using magic, but when she messes up she takes it out on Poochie.

 * Manamu: A shy high-school student. She is Megumi and Rokusuke's classmate, but is shy and likes to keep to herself. She works in the library, and has a crush on Rokusuke.

 * Kisho: Rokusuke's rival in rough terms. He boards Drill at his house during her stay in the human world.  He comes from a rich family and is very materialistic.

English DVD edition
The DVD is interactive and plays similarly to a video game. Continuing the story requires a password that the player is given at the end of each chapter.

Additionally, the English version is heavily edited. All the explicit adult scenes were removed and the character paths/endings for Ponica and Megumi are not available in that release. The Akiwo ending that was added for the Dreamcast version is also not available in the English DVD release.

Heliochrome

A heliochrome is a color photograph, particularly one made by the early experimental processes of the middle 19th to early 20th centuries. The word was coined from the Greek roots "helios", the sun, and "chroma", color, to mean "colored by the sun". It was applied to images as technologically diverse as Levi Hill's "Hillotypes" of the 1850s (Hill's instruction book was entitled A Treatise on Heliochromy), the three-color carbon prints made by Louis Ducos du Hauron in the 1870s, and the interference color photographs made by Gabriel Lippmann in the 1890s. It was also occasionally misapplied to images whose color was non-photographic, i.e., due to local coloring by handwork of some kind.

McIver was the editor of Bass Player magazine from 2018 to 2022, having spent six years before that editing Bass Guitar magazine.

Works
Since 1999, McIver has written 35 books. In the introduction to Neil Daniels' 2009 book All Pens Blazing, writer Martin Popoff described McIver as "probably the top [rock] scribe in the world". In a review in April 2012, Classic Rock magazine described him as "...by some distance, Britain's most prolific hard rock/metal author..."

As well as writing his own books, McIver has co-written several musicians' autobiographies. The first of these was the memoir of sometime Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes, published in 2011. Other memoirs co-written by McIver include those of Max Cavalera of Soulfly, Megadeth bassist David Ellefson,  David Bowie's former drummer Woody Woodmansey and blues veteran John Mayall.

Carmen Maura

María del Carmen García Maura (born 15 September 1945) is a Spanish actress. In a career that has spanned six decades, she has starred in films such as Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, ¡Ay Carmela!, Common Wealth, and Volver. She holds the record for most Goya Awards for Best Leading Actress (with three). She also won a Cesar Award in 2013 and a Cannes Film Festival Award in 2006.

Early life
Carmen García Maura was born in Madrid on 15 September 1945 to Salvador García y Santa-Cruz and Carmen Maura y Arenzana. Her great-grandfather was the Count of Fuente Nueva de Arenzana, who lived in the Palace of Arenzana in Madrid, currently the embassy of France. Her other great grandfather from her mother's side was artist Bartolomé Maura y Montaner, brother of statesman Antonio Maura.

Maura studied philosophy and literature at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. From 1964 to 1970, she was married to a lawyer, Francisco Forteza, with whom she has two children, Carmen and Pablo. Later she had a long relationship with Antonio Moreno Rubio, that ended in 1995 when she discovered he had defrauded her, causing bankruptcy.

Career
Maura began her career as a cabaret singer. Maura's film career was launched in 1970 with an appearance in the film The Man in Hiding. This was followed by a major role in the 1977 film Tigres de papel. Although Maura has played dramatic roles, she is often noted for her comedic roles in films like Sal gorda (1984), Sé infiel y no mires con quién (1985) or Tata mía (1986).

Maura appeared in the first film by Pedro Almodóvar, Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del montón, in 1980. They went on to collaborate on five additional films in the 1980s, the last of which was Women on The Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988), for which she was awarded the European Film Award "Felix" for best actress.

Maura and Almodóvar appeared to have had a falling out after Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. They did not work together for over a decade, but joined forces again in 2006 for Volver. 'Volver' means 'Return' in Spanish, and one of the many returns the title alludes to is Maura's return to Almodovar's movies. The female cast of "Volver" won a collective prize for Best Actress at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.

Maura also appeared in 800 Bullets where she played the mother of the boy who is the main character of the story. Kevin Severson is her son.

Maura is cited as a gay icon for the role of a transsexual she played in Almodóvar's Law of Desire, strengthening her image as a strong woman who is never afraid to break through boundaries.

Maura has won more Goya Awards for Best Leading Actress than any other actress in the history of Spanish film.

She won the "Locarno Excellence Award" in 2007 for all her cinematographic career.

Maura has worked under the orders of major directors like Almodovar, Ford Coppola, Amos Gitai, Yasmina Reza, Alejandro Agresti, Carlos Saura, Étienne Chatiliez and Álex de la Iglesia.

Criticisms of Christianity/new

 * Merge and delete -- This article has been created in response to the pov/npov conflict at Criticisms of Christianity. The original article should follow the example of Criticism of Islam and Anti-Judaism on how to deal with edit conflicts instead of creating a NEW page for the same article! -- Svest 19:31, 12 October 2005 (UTC) Wiki me up™
 * I started the "new" article as a sandbox-style "work in progress" to (eventually) replace the POV monstrosity that is the "main" page, or at least to merge with it or provide a model as to how it should properly look. The creation of the "new" article may well be less than ideal; if I have violated a policy that I didn't know about, I am sorry.  The "new" page is not meant to be permanent or last any longer than possible.  KHM03 19:35, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * speedy userfy to User:KHM03/Criticisms of Christianity for work-in-progress purposes. Let's assume good faith and close this out fast. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 19:39, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
