The Doctor
"There are two theories as to why Rossi is entitled "The Doctor", one is Rossi adopted the nickname upon having earned a degree, which in Italy entitles one to use the title "Doctor". Another, as spoken by Graziano himself, "The Doctor because, I don't think there is a particular reason, but it's beautiful, and is important, The Doctor."

That's total crap, he called himself "The doctor" WAY before receiving that degree. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.3.50.164 (talk) 16:23, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Also: "Rossi is a common surname for Doctors" is ridiculous: Rossi is a common surname for whatever profession: it is one of the most common italian surnames! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keith 64 (talk • contribs) 20:22, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

This is uncorrect, as Valentino has stated himself many times on interviews in italian TV, the moniker had originally started from the inner circle of his friends (the "Tribu' dei chihuaua" he has written on his helmet.) It originates from his uncanny ability to recognize and address bike setups problems (thus "Healing" it) since the very first time he sets foot on it.

Also, in italian you can use the same word you use to say you obtained a Ph.D at the university, to say you won the world championship (it applies to any other sport aswell) thus earning him the title the Doctor. He used the nickname "The Doctor" way before he earned his honorary Ph.D (2005). You can see "the doctor" stickers on the side of the windscreen back to when he was in Honda (2000-2003). So, while earning a degree has certainly given a further meaning to this nickname, it surely was not the originating reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.247.216.87 (talk) 03:15, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * What is the point of detailing this on the talk page when you can amend the main article? --Falcadore (talk) 03:37, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Compensation
According to the reference he is the second best paid non-US sports person, assertion in text is incorrect.

Style
This article really isn't written in an encyclopedic style. Describing him as 'lovable' and 'amazingly talented' doesn't seem particularly appropriate and large chunks of the bibliography seem to have been written by an extremely gushing fan.

Sidebox
The side box is confusing- it lists Rossi's 125/250/500/MotoGP stats together and seems to contradict the "Records" section. It should be updated with only his premier class (500/MotoGP) stats or the heading in the box should be changed (and I can't figure out how to change the heading).

01:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC)01:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC)01:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC) I think this is a great page about a legendary rider. I had the pleasure of meeting Valentino in 2003 - before the race where he had to make up the 10seconds. The rivalry with Gibernau's team was rampanent then too.

Gibernau's has never won since Rossi told him 'You'll never win another race in MotoGP' after the Quatar penalise in 2004 for Rossi preparing the start grid with rubber. Anyone got any more info on that?

Ferrari test
Quote from the article: ''The first day saw Rossi spin out on the damp track into the gravel trap ending his day. On the second day, he posted the ninth fastest time of fifteen drivers, approximately one second behind Schumacher, who himself was third fastest. Rossi lapped faster than seasoned drivers Mark Webber, David Coulthard and Jarno Trulli [2]. On the final day of testing, Rossi was a half second behind Schumacher's best time [3]''

I think it would be fair to add that Rossi was driving a car with a detuned V10 engine, while most others - including Schumacher - the V8-version.

Not only was it the detuned V10, but it also had superior aerodynamics in the spoiler. It was by far and away the best car on that track.

I have removed the reference to Rossi losing the 2006 MotoGP championship from the Ferrari section as the implied chronology is was incorrect. Hopefully someone can write a better section on the end of the 2006 season. Puppeteer

Needs to be clarified
Quote from the article: ''At the end of the 2005 season, Valentino Rossi holds 79 Grand Prix victories which makes him the most successful rider of the Grand Prix series, surpassing legendary rider Giacomo Agostini. (not quite matched Agostini yet, soon...)''

So did he beat Agostini's record or not? If not, I don't think this remark "(not quite matched Agostini yet, soon...)" should be in the article. Wiki should deal with facts not predictions.

He's DEAD???
It says on his page that he died today! OH MY GOD!
 * Nah, he isn't dead...you've been tricked by a vandal. --Skully Collins Review Me! Please? 11:58, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

He is not dead. He was on tv today. Being interviewed live after a race.

VALENTINO ROSSI
I do not care what anyone else says, rossi is the best! although he did not win the championship this year he got himself from 14th position to 2nd!!! that proves just how great he is! nicky hayden only won because he was on repsol honda, the greatest bike in the tournament,and rossi unfortunately fell. if nicky was on camel yamaha imagine where he would finish!!! Since the move to moto gp rossi has made great achievements: 7th reining world champion, a doctors award, he even proved, by the move from honda to yamaha that its the rider that makes it work, not the bike! he really is the greatest!! All you nicky hayden fans better watch out, next season rossi will be back and better than ever finishing the championship in 1st place and where will nicky be? Yes nicky hayden is a good rider but no where near as good as rossi! cant wait for the 2007 season to start....MISSIN YOU ROSSI XXXXXXX Valesbigestfan 13:50, 10 November 2006 (UTC)written by Alice Brown age 14––vales biggest fan

Rewrite
This article needs a good going over. The referencing style needs to be consistent, and the language needs some good copy editing. I'll aim to do this over he next few days so the article is better fitting a sporting legend. Ged UK (talk) 10:44, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I've made a start. Hopefully I'll get hold of his autobiog over the weekend which I hope will help get rid of some of the fact tags. Ged UK (talk) 19:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Totally agree. I commend the original writer or writers for their efforts but this article does need to be cleaned up by someone who is proficient in English and will clearly separate facts from speculation. I've tried change the very poor translation of "Viva La Figa", which was posted as "Hooray for Pussy" to the correct translation of "Long Live Pussy." However, I don't know if my change will stick. "Hooray", or the more common "Hurray", is used either ironically or by children, and is reserved for cheering on sports teams, not in reference to women's private parts.

It's still on my list of things to do. Hopefully I'll get to it soon. Ged UK  07:50, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Tax Evasion
http://www.cnn.com/2008/SPORT/02/12/motor.rossi/index.html?eref=rss_latest this article says he's paying $27.6 million, not 35. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.16.229.39 (talk) 17:39, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

This needs a re-write. We all put our gloves and boots on this way, i.e. one after the other. It's extraordinarily difficult to do othwerwise. And then "he gets off the bike the same way"..er, as the gloves? "He also revealed in an interview with MotoGP.com that he always puts one boot on before the other, one glove on before the other, and he always gets on the bike the same way." Cthwaites (talk) 17:39, 3 September 2008 (UTC)cthwaites

The whole article is a mess. It's (still) on my list of things to do, as it was several months ago. I hope to get to it soon. --Ged UK (talk) 19:17, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Error in Earnings
According to the reference given, Rossi is 7th on the list of international sportsmen in terms of earnings, this fails to take into account the American athletes, which can be found by clicking a link at the bottom of the page.

By looking at the 2 lists, Rossi is in fact twelfth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thecomicrelief (talk • contribs) 18:21, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Viva la figa
I agree that this article needs a serious going over. I commend the original writer or writers for their efforts but this article ought to be cleaned up by someone who is proficient in English. I've tried to change the very poor translation of "Viva La Figa", which was posted as "Hooray for Pussy" to the correct translation of "Long Live Pussy." ie: Long LIV. "Hooray" is normally used either ironically or by children, and is reserved for cheering on sports teams, not in reference to women's private parts. The Italian word "Viva" literally translates into "long life" or "good life" and "Long live" is the accepted and established translation. thx, sychobike

First in all time Pole positions in Premier Class?.
I note that Valentino Rossi holds a record for gaining most pole positions with 58...in Premier class! That's incorrect! Should be in fact 48. Afterall he certainly does hold a record for that in ALL classes in MotoGP! (125cc, 250cc and Premier class.)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hunterbfh (talk • contribs) 20:32, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, good point, I've taken it out, as I don't have Doohan's lower class info to hand (did he even ride in them?) Ged  UK  08:06, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * No, Doohan went straight to 500cc from Australian Superbike (with a handful of World Superbike wildcard spots). Manning (talk) 09:25, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * That's what I thought. I glanced through his wiki page, but we all know Wikipedia's not a reliable source! Ged  UK  10:17, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Well I was speaking from memory, but a glance at an old copy of AMCN confirmed it. (AMCN = Australian Motorcycle News magazine). Also as the 125/250 cc culture never really ever got established here in Australia, most international riders come up through Superbike ranks (Stoner being the most obvious exception). Manning (talk) 13:24, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Similar in teh UK really; the current (excellent) crop of 125 riders are the first generation we've had for a while, compared to Superbikes and superstock etc. Ged UK  21:01, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * All of Doohan's 58 pole positions were in premier class, this can be confirmed by searching the statistics in motogp.com statistics page and also from Doohan's motogp.com profile. Therefore this puts Rossi's 48 pole positions second in premier class pole positions, just behind Doohan. I also find this news from crash.net that support this fact, but this news item wouldn't be updated regularly, so there is no point to cite this page in the article as it's gonna be outdated when the next race completed. — Martin tamb (talk) 16:55, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

records
I think one record is false, the "Wins with Yamaha" isn't 47 but it has to be 46. Equal to the number on the bike (see the movie fastest)

I think some records are missing here.

one of that I could think of is: -Valentino has been a rookie of the year in every class he has taken part (namely: 125, 250, 500, MotoGP, but the last two only counts as one).

now the question before editing the article is: is he the only one or other riders have accomplished the same? anyone can help here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucio7 (talk • contribs) 08:27, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

 * MotoGP are considered as a replacement of 500cc, therefore Rossi wasn't a rookie in 2002 when the MotoGP class started (see the 2002 entry list and he was not listed as a competitor for Rookie of the year, Daijiro Kato won the Rookie of the year instead). Also I'm not sure whether he won the 125cc Rookie of the year in 1996. He only finished 9th in overall standing and there is a possibility that there are other rookies that finish ahead of him. There is not enough details on the 1996 season in the archive results on motogp.com. You would need a better reference to supports this record, before inserting it to the article. — Martin tamb (talk) 08:41, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Would still need an external source. Cs-wolves  (talk)  17:59, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes indeed, you are right, motoGP doesn't count as a replacement of 500CC.

But still, about 125CC, I remember that time ago I cheched all the 8 riders here on Wikipedia that finished in front of him and noticed that none of them was at his first season.

That, if the Rookie of the Year award was already in place, made him Rookie of the Year. So, in this case, he's been Rookie of the Year in all the classes. Even in case he's not the only one having been Rookie of the Year in all classes, I think him being Rookie of the Year in each class should deserve a place in the record section.

What do you think people?

Lucio7 (talk) 14:07, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

June 2010 accident?
Hi guys! Nothing about the accident that will cost him the chance of winning the 2010 title? 121.247.68.245 (talk) 00:24, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Superstitions?
Hi everyone. What the article tells at the moment are things which I really couldn't call superstitions. So, he watches the red lights in the 125cc start - I'd say thats an intelligent move for estimating when his own starting light will turn green. So, he has a special way of getting on and off his bike - That reminds me strongly of what I once read in a kyudo primer: You want to switch your mind into fully focused performance mode by a fixed ritual which symbolizes leaving the regular world behind for a while. This view also seems to me strongly reflected in Rossi's quotation. So, he does some strange stretching moves while going down pit lane - but the article itself says this is mainly for adjusting his leathers. Unless someone can add any rites of a more unscientific or magical nature, I would suggest replacing "Superstition" with "Odd Ritual" or something along those lines. --BjKa (talk) 21:54, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Time to split the article?
It's getting rather long now, running to 80+kbs, which is more than recommended. I would suggest that we split out the statistics and records into another article, something like List of Valentino Rossi's results and records. I know this is quite unusual for a sportsperson, but Rossi's longevity and achievements are bigger than any other rider I can think of bar Ago.

Roger Federer has separate articles List of career achievements by Roger Federer and Roger Federer career statistics (indeed he has separate articles Roger Federer in 2003, Roger Federer in 2004 through to Roger Federer in 2010 though I'm not suggesting we go that far as yet).

Thoughts? Ged UK  12:44, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Actually, I don't think a split it is unusual for an exceptional sportsperson who has a lot of records and achievements. I've seen several basketball player articles has a separate page for career achievements (such as Michael Jordan). But I don't think there is an urgent need to split this article, because the "readable prose" size is still under 50kb (without the stats and the records). Michael Schumacher's article looks similar to this article. Combining a really long prose and a lot of statistics, but it still looks good and passed GAN. I think the problem with this article is the records section which is too long, messy and unreadable. Some records may even be outdated and some of them are unsourced. I've rearranged those records to a table, added references, and deleted the "second in .." entries which aren't really records that he holds. — Martin tamb (talk) 17:22, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It's a good idea, go for the split. The kb limit is designed to allow accessibility for readers with slow connections, you'd be doing them a favour. Brutal Deluxe (talk) 17:27, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

 * I think the records section is a bit weird. For example "consecutive championship titles with different constructors" is not really his record, Lawson did it first (1988 title with Yamaha, 1989 with Honda). "Championship titles with different engine displacement" IMO that's a bit of stretch, yes he won with the 3 different engine displacement but that was helped by the regulations changing. "Consecutive wins with Yamaha" 11 in 2005 and 2008? I am not sure what exactly does that mean in 2005 he won 5 consecutive races and in 2008 5 as well. Dr. Loosmark  17:39, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Sorry about the "Consecutive wins with Yamaha" record, I made an error there. About the shared records, there are notes explaining those, but they may not seem very clear. I agree that some records are weird and not really notable, but I just rewrote what's been there before. Feel free to delete any weird and non-notable records or to revert to the previous Records format. Anyway, we should really get back to the split idea rather than the records. Just to clarify, I don't oppose the split idea. I just think it is not really necessary at this point. — Martin tamb (talk) 18:00, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Schumacher's article is over 140k, which is way too big in my opinion, but that's a separate issue! I think the records table is a vast improvement on what was there before, though it's barely made any difference to the overall page size. I've made a test copy of the records page at User:Ged UK/rossirecords and it runs to 34 kb (with a lead etc to come) which would make this article 47-48 or thereabouts, which is better. Ged  UK  20:33, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

 * I'll vote for a split. We can expect at least another two years of results and items, especially with rule changes due in 2012, splitting now would be sensible.  Ron h jones (Talk) 23:01, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm, as of today I don't think there are many people left with a 56Kb, so the smaller size to help the slow connections, I don't really know how much should it weigh in the decision. But maybe I have no idea about slow connections around the world. Personally, I think it's more convenient to have the record page in the main article. But as I say that's just me. The advantage about the split would be that it would probably give a boost to fill it with more information. I think some of the records are missing and when I will have enough time it would be entertaining for me looking for them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucio7 (talk • contribs) 10:42, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

WP:GOCE drive
For information, this article falls within the remit of WP:GOCE and I will be doing a copyedit over the next few days. PearlyGigs (talk) 21:50, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

 * The GOCE work is complete now. The main issues were grammar and excessive WP:OLINK. I still have reservations about some of the wording and phraseology, especially where repeated across several racing seasons, but I think that is outside the scope of GOCE as the narrative is using the sport's own terminology.
 * The article is certainly too long and I think it should somehow be WP:SPLIT. I can't suggest where or how, but WP:TOOBIG recommends a split if an article has a readable prose size of over 15,000 words, and this one has 22,000. I think there is too much detail about each season as you are constantly reading that he retired from this race, won that one, got a podium place here, didn't get one there, etc. It is a collection of individual events and incidents which needs cohesion into a readable whole by summarising each year and restricting race details to those in which there was a particular highlight or an especially controversial incident.

Phil Woolpert

Philipp D. Woolpert (December 15, 1915 – May 5, 1987) was an American basketball coach, best known as the head coach of the University of San Francisco Dons in the 1950s. He led them to consecutive national championships in 1955 and 1956.

Biography
Born in Danville, Kentucky, Woolpert was raised in Los Angeles, graduating from Manual Arts High School in 1933, in the depths of the Great Depression. He attended L.A. Junior College and Loyola University, where he played basketball for three years, was initiated into the Alpha Delta Gamma fraternity, and graduated in 1940 with a degree in political science.

In 1946, Woolpert was hired as basketball coach for St. Ignatius College Preparatory in San Francisco, where he posted a .680 record in his four years as coach. Upon Pete Newell's departure for Michigan State University, the University of San Francisco hired Woolpert to succeed Newell. He assumed both the posts of men's basketball coach and athletic director.

During his tenure at USF, Woolpert posted a .660 record, including a 60-game win streak that at the time was the longest in college basketball, surpassed later by John Wooden's 88 straight wins at UCLA. Woolpert's teams, anchored by Bill Russell, K. C. Jones, Gene Brown, and Mike Farmer, were known for their defense and held opponents below 60 points on 47 different occasions. USF won the NCAA tournament in 1955 and 1956, and finished third in 1957. At the time the youngest college basketball coach to win a national championship, Woolpert also won Coach of the Year honors in 1955 and 1956.

After briefly coaching the San Francisco Saints of the American Basketball League, Woolpert returned to the college ranks in 1962, this time with the University of San Diego. While at USD, Woolpert posted a 90–90 record and served as both men's basketball coach and athletic director.

Woolpert retired from coaching in 1969, and later settled down on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington and became a school bus driver in Sequim. He died of lung cancer at age 71 at his home in 1987.

Woolpert's son Paul was the assistant coach of the G-League South Bay Lakers.

Trapezophoron

A trapezophore, trapezophorum or trapezophoron is the leg or pedestal of a small side table, generally in marble, and carved with winged lions or griffins set back to back, each with a single leg, which formed the support of the pedestal on either side. In Pompeii there was a fine example in the house of Cornelius Rufus, which stood behind the impluvium. These side tables were known as mensae vasariae and were used for the display of vases, lamps, and such. Sometimes they were supported on four legs, the example at Pompeii (of which the museums at Naples and Rome contain many varieties) had two supports only, one at each end of the table. The term is also applied to a single leg with lion's head, breast and forepaws, which formed the front support of a throne or chair.

Early life and modeling
Aiden Brady was born on 22 February 1966 in Harrow, England. He graduated from the University of Brighton.

Shaw was signed to Success Models in Paris and Sight Management Studio in Barcelona. Shaw was photographed by Giampaolo Sgura for Hercules International magazine. In 2013, he was the face of Bytom, a Polish fashion company. In 2014, Shaw walked for Berluti. He was featured by New Zealand menswear brand Working Style for their Autumn Winter 2014 campaign. In 2016, Shaw reverted to his birth name as he continued to model for international brands like Massimo Dutti.

Pornography

Catherine of Navarre

Catherine (Katalina, Catarina; 1468 – 12 February 1517) was Queen of Navarre from 1483 until 1517. She was also Duchess of Gandia, Montblanc, and Peñafiel, Countess of Foix, Bigorre, and Ribagorza, and Viscountess of Béarn.

Biography
Catherine was the younger daughter of Gaston of Foix, Prince of Viana, and Magdalena of Valois, the sister of Louis XI of France. She was born and raised during the reign of her paternal great-grandfather, King John II, who was succeeded by her grandmother Eleanor in 1479. Their father having already died, the crown of Navarre devolved upon Catherine's brother Francis Phoebus upon their grandmother's death the same year.

Reign
In 1483 the death of Francis made Catherine queen under the regency of their mother. Her uncle John of Foix, appealing to the Salic Law alien to the Kingdom of Navarre, claimed the throne and ignited a civil war (1483–1492) that reignited the old conflict of the Beaumont-Agramont parties. In 1484, hard pressed by ambitions over the throne of Navarre, Magdalena of Valois decided to marry 15-year-old Catherine to John of Albret, hailing from a noble family in western Gascony. This marriage was favored by many of Catherine's Iberian subjects and would have given Catherine much needed support in her fight against her uncle's claim.

The wedding took place at the Notre Dâme Cathedral of Lescar in 1486, but the coronation of the young couple in Pamplona was deferred until 1494, after a fleeting peace treaty with Louis of Beaumont, Count of Lerín, and Catherine's granduncle, King Ferdinand II of Aragon, was signed. However, the marriage did not garner the sympathy of the Navarrese Beaumont party, always preferring Isabella I of Castile's and Ferdinand II of Aragon's offer to marry Catherine to their son John, Prince of Asturias, and even the Agramont party split. Catherine's mother Magdalena died in 1495.

The marriage appears not to have been consummated until 1491. It is possible that the consummation, being a political event, was purposely postponed in order to prevent Catherine and her husband being declared of legal majority, which would allow Catherine's mother Magdalena to continue her regency. In any event, Catherine's mother Magdalena continued her regency even after the coronation of Catherine and her spouse in 1494, and continued to sign charters and other documents and be mentioned first.

In 1494, Magdalena's regency was finally ended when Magdalena was taken hostage by Aragon, and Catherine personally took control over the government with her husband at the age of twenty-six. Catherine was described as “very mature, she had great courage, prudence and the magnanimity and always worked with all fidelity at the royal pledges to help the King, her husband, in the government as it ran to both their account.”

In 1504, she made her will, confirming her son Henry's right to succeed her and expressing her wish to be buried at the Cathedral of Pamplona—ultimately both she and John were interred in Lescar. The political alliance between the houses of Valois and Foix ahead of an impending Spanish invasion led to marriage negotiations between Catherine and Louis XII in 1512. It was suggested that Henry should marry a daughter of the French king.

1512 Castilian-Aragonese invasion

Ferdinand, who had allied with the Pope against France, presented a set of claims to the legitimate royal family of Navarre. Catherine did not accept the demands, and Ferdinand sent Fadrique Álvarez de Toledo, 2nd Duke of Alba, who occupied Pamplona on 25 July 1512. The Castilians went on to conquer St-Jean-Pied-de-Port (Donibane Garazi in Basque) after setting fire to Roncevaux, and wrought havoc across the merindad of Ultrapuertos (Lower Navarre). The Spanish troops would retain the southern half of that region intermittently for the next years. Catherine and John III, overwhelmed by the Castilian push, fled to Bearn, constituent part of their kingdom. They set their base in Pau, Orthez and Tarbes, where they alternately resided most of the time until their deaths.

On 23 March 1513, the Cortes of Navarre reunited in Pamplona (Iruñea in Basque), greatly reduced to the pro-Spanish Beaumont party, and pledged allegiance to Ferdinand in exchange for his loyalty to the Navarrese laws. In 1515, Upper Navarre was annexed to the Crown of Castile as a different kingdom (aeque principalis), and it would be one constituent part of the Kingdom of the Spains, as Spain came to be known during the following period.

Later years
In 1516, two columns led by King John III and Pedro, Marshal of Navarre, crossed the Pyrenees south and attempted to reconquer Navarre but they failed to progress into the heartland of the kingdom. Devastated by the defeats undergone, John retreated to Monein, and died on 17 June 1516. Queen Catherine did not outlive her husband much longer, and died in her domain of Mont-de-Marsan on 12 February 1517, just a few months later. By then, she had given birth to 13 children (other sources point to 14).

From 1512 to her death in 1517, Catherine was actual queen only in some areas of Basse-Navarre, or Lower Navarre, north of the Pyrenees, but her domains extended to the contiguous Principality of Bearn and other lands.

Children
She and John III of Navarre were parents to thirteen children:
 * Anne of Navarre (19 May 1492 – 15 August 1532).
 * Magdalena of Navarre (29 March 1494 – May 1504).
 * Catherine of Navarre (1495 – November 1532). Abbess of the Trinity at Caen.
 * Joan of Navarre (15 June 1496 – last mentioned in November, 1496).
 * Quiteria of Navarre (1499 – September/October 1536). Abbess at Montivilliers.
 * A stillborn son in 1500.
 * Andrew Phoebus of Navarre (14 October 1501 – 17 April 1503).
 * Henry II of Navarre (18 April 1503 – 25 May 1555).
 * Buenaventura of Navarre (14 July 1505 – 1510/1511).
 * Martin of Navarre (c. 1506 – last mentioned in 1512).
 * Francis of Navarre (1508 – last mentioned in 1512).
 * Charles of Navarre (12 December 1510 – September 1528). Took part in the Siege of Naples during the War of the League of Cognac but was captured. Died while still held as a prisoner of war.
 * Isabella of Navarre (1513/1514 – last mentioned in 1555). Married Rene I, Viscount of Rohan.

Clean-up!

 * The references in this article do not cite the text they merely establish that Brighton College exists and that there was a fictitional character on HBO's "Sex and the City" called Aiden Shaw. This needs numerous citations to be properly verified as well as aditional references for all the text.  Also, is the subject notable for some reason?  Fuzzyred 23:35, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Unfortunatley Fuzzyred, I have recently dealt with this issue. It seems that someone pushed to have this stuss entered into the WP:PORNBIO. If you look at the guideline, it says as long as these trash sites can show that they have won some form of award, they are considered notable and entitled to an article. I do not in anyway agree with that! I also do not feel that these people should be granted the right to advertise their escort services or to hock porn sites and videos for sale. But it seems to get by everytime. It is very disappointing. Junebug52 01:37, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * God only knows what trash you get up to in your own private time. There's much more trash on here before starting to worry about porn stars. They do no harm to anybody, if you watch their movies it's because you're into them. If you're not, you have no business reading, writing, watching or judging them.

section blanking
There appears to be a problem with certain editors deleting details and even blanking entire sections of this article in relation to Aiden Shaw's career as a porn star. One of the editors (User:New man already) claims to be Aiden Shaw himself, though this is obviously unverified. Regardless, it is a breach of WP:WELLKNOWN to remove details from an article that are adequately sourced. Doing so can be construed as deliberate vandalism. Wikipedia is not here to make Aiden Shaw look good or to promote him, it is merely here to tell people who he is and what he is famous for. He is most famous for being a gay porn star, but he has also written books and recorded music. Furthermore, if the user mentioned above is indeed Aiden Shaw, then editing the article is a breach of WP:COI, especially if whole sections are being removed. Please confirm this with Wikipedia's managing administrators before making further changes to the article. 88.104.27.100 (talk) 19:29, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Resources
A small bit of Google searching brought up a couple sites that could help in the production of this article:

 * FFL Shrine - mostly Wikibooks-esque material (statistics and the like), but there's bound to be something in there.
 * FAQs via Gamespot - a collection of Walkthrus and FAQs; most have things like plot details, character classes, major in-game areas; those are the kinds of things to shoot for, no?

Eh, that's actually all I can find for now. Adios. -- gakon5 (talk)

Infamy
Isn't this the game where you fight God at the end and kill Him with one blow from a chainsaw? 142.161.204.198 19:51, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, unless you used the chainsaw on a different enemy. It's only good for one use, and after that it breaks. You can still defeat the Creator without the chainsaw, but that's a lot tougher. 65.41.184.195 23:09, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

What's interesting is that the Japanese version refers to him / her as "kami," which literally means god. However, the North American translation localized the enemy as simply "Creator." It's funny how Western localizations tend to be subjected to "Judeo-Christian filtration." Grendel 13:27, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually, that was a Nintendo policy that ended about halfway through the SNES's time at the top. It was annoying but necessary: Nintendo had to set clear guidelines for game making after the industry crashed in the 80s. It gets REALLY funny on Final Fantasy 6 (3 US): super famicom version: nude rear for Siren. US SNES Version: fully coverd by cloth extension. GBA Version: still coverd up but only with half of the original material amount. That really kinda says it all, I think. 74.128.56.194 (talk) 07:17, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

A few minor edits
I just corrected two things in the article, I edited out the "Humans are the strongest class" simply because that's debateable and not very neutral.

Also the section that lists potions for Humans to use listed Mana-increasing ones, which don't exist in this game. slimequest 02:53, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I clarified the effect of potions on Human classes, although I'm still concerned it's unclear how the Hit Point Potions work. I also deleted an unnecessary external link to Moby Games--the link had no further information on the game and seemed to be mainly a commercial link. Gorjus 19:22, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Hit point potions give you either 1-20 or 1 hit point(s) depending on your max hit points prior to imbibing the potion. For instance, a character with 200 or fewer hit points who imbibes an HP200 will recieve 1-20 hp, wheras if a character with 203 hit points imbibed an HP200, they would only be raised to 204 hit points. There is no upper limit to hit points, but the highest potion in the game is HP600. Once your characters have 601+ hit points, it is more economical to buy HP200s in bulk.

Translations
I thought it wouldn't hurt to add a small translation of the Japanese title, since there are major differences between it and the North American release title. However, I'm just curious about what others think, because the title is hard to interpret in the first place, as it seems like it can go many directions. I simply went with "SaGa of the Demon Tower" because it seemed to reflect the game with the most accuracy. Now, however, I'm having second thoughts. Maybe something like, "SaGa: The Celestial Tower" would make more sense. Does anyone have any thoughts about this? Grendel 00:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I actually changed it to what I thought would be a litte better before seeing your note. My study of the language is far from complete, so if you object let me know.Onikage725 11:18, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Looks even better. Good job! 68.209.235.149 00:32, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I took a poetic license with the current translation, if no one minds. I think "Heroes of the Infernal Tower" may be a more accurate way to transliterate according to cultural differences. Feel free to change it back, however. 74.242.104.247 (talk) 22:48, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I went ahead and corrected the translation problems. "Warriors of the Demon Realm Tower" is the most literal form, given the kanji readings below:

魔 - (ma) demon; devil 界 - (kai) describes an invisible force or barrier 魔界 - (makai) this means hell or demon realm, not spirit world 塔 - (tou) this is a type of tower, or pyramid 士 - (shi) a warrior, or bushido

There shouldn't be any need to change it around. 74.242.103.118 (talk) 15:28, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The translation used is from them though. I'd rather use a translation I can actually cite than one pulled toghether. Also note you use the plural "warriors", when the translation from them is clearly saying "Warrior" in the singular, and the manual and game's emphasis is in part on the party leader, who is the only character you can't replace.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 18:01, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Anyone can easily cite an individual's interpretation or mistranslation. That doesn't make it factual. Keep in mind, facts before references. 74.242.122.25 (talk) 17:26, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Your "fact" has no support, especially the "warrior(s)" part.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 17:30, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Semantics don't call for references. The title is somewhat hard to approximate in English, but the most literal idea is that tou and shi describe a type of warrior, "tower warrior." ma and kai describe the concept of hell in Japanese mythology. So it's along the lines of "The Tower Warrior of Hell / the Demon Realm." (but "Warrior(s) of the Demon Realm Tower" also sounds more appropriate if you want to localize the game) I am native Japanese, by the way. 74.242.122.25 (talk) 17:35, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * You apparently don't know how Wikipedia works. You can be native Japanese, but a citation outweighs a random translation. Especially a citation of a title that can be found in various sources including Amazon.com. Unless you can find a reliable source that can vouch what you're saying that outweighs the other sources, then it doesn't belong here.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 17:50, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * You are mistaken. Wikipedia explicity states a neutrality toward semantics. See WP:SPELLING and WP:MOS-JP. Articles with translations do not (and are not required) to reference transliterated material. 74.242.122.25 (talk) 17:57, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Did you also check the policies to see cases where a citable title outweighs one that isn't? Check WP:COMMONNAME for some relevance. In a case of two conflicting translations, the most common and citable one remains.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 18:02, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That would of course be fine if the title were a common name, but it's not. It's the individual interpretation of a specific website you've linked to. The common name in this case is simply "The Final Fantasy Legend." 74.242.122.25 (talk) 18:05, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I've brought the discussion over here for further input and a resolution as this by itself isn't going to get either of us anywhere.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 18:12, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Possible connection to Gamma World?
From http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=563273&topic=42749064

It's widely known that the original NES Final Fantasy was heavily inspired by the pen-and-paper RPG Dungeons & Dragons (to the extent of over 90% of the monsters in FF coming straight from the pages of the Monster Manual) but I think I've found a possible pen-and-paper inspiration for The Final Fantasy Legend as well.

In the late 1970s, around the same time the first edition of Advanced D&D, TSR published an RPG titled "Gamma World" set on a post-apocalyptic Earth. The inhabitants of the Gamma World (and thus the player characters in the game) come in three types: "Pure" humans, mutant humans, and sentient (mutated) animals of various species. Mutant characters roll dice against a "mutation table" to determine what superhuman abilities they possess--including mental powers like ESP and telekinesis, fire and electrical attacks, and a power called "life leech" which drains HP from every being in the vicinity, friend and foe alike.

Although there were experience points and levels in Gamma World, compared to D&D they were rather unimportant--in particular, characters do not get more HP when they gain levels, and most of a character's power comes from items ("lost technology" from the pre-apocalypse society) and mutations rather than from experience points.

The resemblance to FFL is striking--in particular, the "life leech" mutation is identical to a certain Mutant ability in FFL. I don't think Gamma World was ever published in Japan, but I've heard that Akitoshi Kawazu (game designer of both FF and FFL) used to import and play foreign RPGs, board games, and war games when he was in university, translating the rules into Japanese on his own.

It's also worth noting that a later edition of Gamma World added robots as a fourth playable character type... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.162.189.89 (talk) 05:41, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Errors
Although this article is thoroughly sourced, it has some serious problems. While reading it, I noticed several spelling and grammatical errors ("Sough"; "is contains"), inconsistencies ("Final Fantasy Legend" vs. "The Final Fantasy Legend"; "Saga" vs. "SaGa"), and factual errors (human statistics and HP can be pumped past 99 and 999, though mutant statistics are capped; shields allow characters to evade hits, not boost their defense; characters cannot hold 99 potions; new hearts can be bought late in the game and any downed character can be replaced with a new member, regardless of how many hearts they still have). I also found miscellaneous things that I found stylistically confusing, mostly related to references to the Japanese version of the game. For example, in the "Plot" subsection, it refers to "Millie" as one of the twin sisters in World 3. I don't know what she's called in the Japanese version, but as far as I'm aware, she's referred to only as "Mileille" in the English version. Since this article is ostensibly about the English version (and the translation of her Japanese name would be open to interpretation), I don't see why she should be called anything but "Mileille" in the article.

What leaped out at me most was this sentence: "Abilities gained slightly differ between male and female mutants; females initially gain stronger abilities faster compared to males." Although this "fact" included a citation (in Japanese), it is demonstrably false. According to this forum post, a mutant's growth is determined entirely by the random number generator, completely irrespective of gender. I removed the offending sentence, but I have to admit that I am part of the project in the link I provided, so I acknowledge that further edits on my part would probably violate Wikipedia's policies on original research and conflict of interest.

I edited as many problems as I felt comfortable with. What I left untouched, I generally chose based on the assumption that the Japanese version is radically different from the English one (which I doubt). If anyone with more experience with Wikipedia wants to fact-check the article and compare it against my suggested corrections above, I think doing so would greatly improve this article.64.55.111.22 (talk) 06:51, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It's been ages since I worked on this article, though as far as the citation goes I can see it being false: it's the development team looking back on a game they haven't touched in years. It *might* have been something intended...but leaving the reference out without putting guesswork in instead is perfectly fine with wikipedia's policies. As far as the HP thing goes...I'll have to check that, it's been years but I'm fairly certain the game does only display 999. The rest I'll have to verify as well...a lot of it came from the english manual, which might explain why some bits were chosen the way they were. Give me a bit here.
 * Also, what were the other references to the Japanese version that confused you?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:53, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguous
Would anyone have a problem with a disambiguous page (I know, i cant spell) that links to the FF nonstandard games? My thought was a page that collected Legends 1-3, Adventure, Mystic Quest, and perhaps their remakes? 74.128.56.194 (talk) 07:21, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Title translation
The current translation is inaccurate. Because of the arrangement of the kanji, "toushi" would translate to "Tower Warrior / Gladiator" as a single noun. You can confirm this by checking the official translation provided by Square [here] in the game's Japanese guide book.

Furthermore, "in the Spirit World" is also incorrect. There aren't any prepositions anywhere in the title. The title simply reads "Hell" and "Tower Warrior / Gladiator." For it to mean what the current translation reads, the title would have to be more like, "Makai no Tou de no Senshi." ("Warrior(s) in the Tower of Hell")

For all intents and purposes, translations provided for English Wiki users should probably strive for literal accuracy, even if they don't sound eloquent. That said, I'm going to change this to a literal reading for now. 98.86.95.169 (talk) 04:44, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
 * We've already been over this: that's the official title as provided by SE. Accurate or no, we have to cite what we have as an official source.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 03:31, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

About boxart
I noticed you removed a rendition of the game's original cover. Which is all well and good since it was just a snippet of it, but it raises the question of whether this game should even be using the Western box art at all. The Japanese art is significantly more descriptive of the game's characters, and Ico has set a precedent where the Western art does not have to be used if the Japanese art has significantly more artistic merit. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:38, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

 * It is not whether it has more artistic merit or not, it's that there is no caption saying such a thing for a copywritten image. It needs context to use it to describe something that can't be illustrated by text. And there isn't any in the article. Andrzejbanas (talk) 15:50, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Zx's question is more if the game should use the Japanese box art as it's more overall descriptive for the game instead of the western one in the infobox. I think this came up before, and the problem was the Japanese game has a drastically different name so it may cause some confusion.
 * This does make me consider it could be a good idea to bring up the Japanese box art as being far more descriptive of the game within the article's body, but then we'd have 3 fair use images in the article and that may still come across as excessive. What do you think ?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 17:02, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I would agree with you, but we should probably stick to the WP:VGIMAGES "Only one piece of identifying art should be present in the infobox, regardless of platform or regional differences. English-language art is preferred for identification; if no English-language option is available, then use art from the game's native language." Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:08, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Simple Groupware

Simple Groupware is a groupware package written in PHP. It uses the MySQL database (version 4 or higher). It contains a calendar system, an email client, an inventory system, and a number of other features. Simple Groupware is free software released under the GNU General Public License.

The software contains about 30,000 lines of code and uses about 150,000 lines of code from other free projects. It has modules for managing calendars, contacts, tasks, projects, and inventories of equipment. External data can be integrated using IMAP, RSS, iCal, vCard, CSV or XML files. Firefox bookmark files are also supported. Data can be exported in the CSV, XML, HTML, RSS, and iCal formats.

The modules consist of traditional PHP code which is responsible for reading data from the data source into an array. The presentation (displaying, sorting, filtering, linking, editing, etc.) is specified in "sgsML" (Simple Groupware Solutions Markup Language). sgsML allows web applications to be implemented faster and with less work than would be possible in, for example, PHP. By reducing the amount of code, applications can be changed quickly and be more readily checked for bugs and consistency.

The first release was published on December 13, 2004 at SourceForge.

Pentyl group

Pentyl is a five-carbon alkyl group or substituent with chemical formula -C5H11. It is the substituent form of the alkane pentane.

In older literature, the common non-systematic name amyl was often used for the pentyl group. Conversely, the name pentyl was used for several five-carbon branched alkyl groups, distinguished by various prefixes. The nomenclature has now reversed, with "amyl" being more often used to refer to the terminally branched group also called isopentyl, as in amobarbital.

A cyclopentyl group is a ring with the formula -C5H9.

The name is also used for the pentyl radical, a pentyl group as an isolated molecule. This free radical is only observed in extreme conditions. Its formula is often written "•" or "• " to indicate that it has one unsatisfied valence bond. Radicals like pentyl are reactive, they react with neighboring atoms or molecules (like oxygen, water, etc.)

Older "pentyl" groups
The following names are still used sometimes:

Pentyl radical
The free radical pentyl was studied by J. Pacansky and A. Gutierrez in 1983. The radical was obtained by exposing bishexanoyl peroxide trapped in frozen argon to ultraviolet light, that caused its decomposition into two carbon dioxide molecules and two pentyl radicals.

Examples

 * Pentanol
 * Pentyl pentanoate
 * Amylamine
 * Amyl acetate
 * Amyl alcohol
 * Amylmetacresol
 * Isoamyl acetate
 * Isoamyl alcohol

"Vlahii" din Timoc
Salut. Vreau să-ţi atrag atenţia unei controverse care o am cu Panonian despre Românii din Valea Timocului. Panonian susţine că sunt două grupuri etnice - românii din Voivodina şi vlahii din Timoc. Antropologii şi Consiliul Europei, şi alte organizaţii, spun că această împărţire este artificială, cum susţin şi eu, dar Panonian face revert la articolul Romanians of Serbia, făcând două articole separate, unul pentru români şi unul pentru vlahi. Bineînţeles că nu e corect nici versiunea că aromânii şi istro-românii sunt la fel cu (daco-)românii, dar nici această propagandă sârbească că românii din Timoc sunt vlahi. Te inform pentru că tu ştii multe despre acest subiect, despre lingvistică, etc. Articolele controversate sunt Vlachs şi Romanians of Serbia/Vlachs of Serbia. În plus, am redirectat pagina existentă Vlach language la Eastern Romance languages. Crezi că e bine? Mulţumesc, Ronline 10:23, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

The Moldavian chronicler, Grigore Ureche (1590 - 1647), established in his "Letopiseţul Ţării Moldovei" (The Chronicles of the land of Moldavia) that Moldavian (Moldovan) and Wallachian (Romanian from Wallachia) are essentially the same language; and that Moldavians and Wallachians share the same ethnicity.

COSYSMO

The Constructive Systems Engineering Cost Model (COSYSMO) was created by Ricardo Valerdi while at the University of Southern California Center for Software Engineering. It gives an estimate of the number of person-months it will take to staff systems engineering resources on hardware and software projects. Initially developed in 2002, the model now contains a calibration data set of more than 50 projects provided by major aerospace and defense companies such as Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, SAIC, General Dynamics, and BAE Systems.

Similar to its predecessor COCOMO, COSYSMO computes effort (and cost) as a function of system functional size and adjusts it based on a number of environmental factors related to systems engineering.

COSYSMO's central cost estimating relationship, or CER is of the form: $$PM_{NS}=A \times \text{size}^E \times \prod^n_{i=1} EM_i$$

where "Size" is one of four size additive size drivers, and EM represents one of fourteen multiplicative effort multipliers.

Category:Voice actor stubs

This category should be used for people who are notable only or primarily for their work as a voice actor. If a person is notable for other types of acting, then a stub article about them should use actor-stub or one of its other subtypes instead.

If the person is an American voice actor, then a stub article about them should use US-voice-actor-stub instead.

The perfect article about an actor gives both a (possibly short) biography and a list of performances. Also, appropriate categories should be added, especially those listed in Category:Actors by nationality and Category:Voice actors.
