Steve Lyons (baseball)

Stephen John Lyons (born June 3, 1960) is an American former professional baseball player who previously worked as a television sportscaster for the New England Sports Network (NESN). He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for four teams over a period of nine seasons (1985–1993), including four stints with the Boston Red Sox. He was initially an outfielder and third baseman, but found a niche as a utility player. After his retirement as a player, he became a television baseball commentator. In 2021, NESN announced Lyons would not be returning to his in-studio pre- and post-game analyst role.

Early years
Lyons was born in 1960 in Tacoma, Washington, and grew up in Eugene and Beaverton, Oregon. His father, Richard Lyons, was a star athlete at Hudson High School in Massachusetts, who encouraged him to play baseball. He attended Marist Catholic High School in Eugene, before graduating from Beaverton High School in 1978. He attended Oregon State on a partial baseball scholarship. After his junior year, Lyons was a first round draft pick (19th overall) by the Boston Red Sox in the 1981 MLB draft; he left Oregon State without graduating, to begin his baseball career.

Path to the majors
At the start of his professional career, Lyons played for four teams in Boston's farm system: the Class A Winston-Salem Red Sox in 1981, the Double-A Bristol Red Sox in 1982, the Double-A New Britain Red Sox in 1983, and the Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox in 1984. He had a .248 batting average while hitting 43 home runs and 222 RBIs in 462 minor league games.

Boston Red Sox
After playing for $3 1/2$ years in the minor leagues, Lyons was promoted to the Red Sox in 1985, due in large part to having an impressive spring training; in addition to hitting well, his speed on the bases, and his ability to play a number of positions contributed to the decision. Lyons made his major league debut with the Red Sox on April 15, as a pinch runner at age 24. He collected his first major league hit on April 30, off of Donnie Moore of the California Angels. Starting in early June, Lyons became Boston's regular center fielder; he went on to play 133 games with the 1985 Red Sox, batting .264 with five home runs and 30 RBIs.

In 1986, Lyons appeared in 59 games through late June, batting .250 with one home run and 14 RBIs. On May 10, he was ejected for the only time in his MLB career, by umpire Terry Cooney after arguing a called third strike.

Chicago White Sox
Lyons was traded to the Chicago White Sox for pitcher Tom Seaver on June 29, 1986. For the remainder of the 1986 season, Lyons played 42 games with the White Sox, batting .203 with six RBIs; he also played 20 games with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons. During 1987, Lyons split time between Chicago and their Triple-A affiliate, the Hawaii Islanders of the Pacific Coast League. With the White Sox, he batted .280 with one home run and 19 RBIs in 76 games.

Lyons spent all of the 1988 season with Chicago, batting .269 with five home runs and 45 RBIs in 146 games. In 1989, he appeared in 140 games, batting .264 with two home runs and 50 RBIs. He played 94 games in 1990, batting .192 with one home run and 11 RBIs. In parts of five seasons with the White Sox, Lyons appeared in 497 games, batting .255 with nine home runs and 131 RBIs. Lyons was released by the White Sox on April 13, 1991.

Playing every position
Lyons played every defensive position (including pitcher) as well as designated hitter, pinch hitter, and pinch runner during his time with the White Sox. He also has the rare distinction of having played all nine defensive positions in a single game at the major league level, although in an exhibition contest. The "Windy City Classic," between the Chicago Cubs and the White Sox, took place at Wrigley Field on April 23, 1990. Per standard baseball notation, Lyons's positions during the game were, in order: 2-3-7-8-6-9-5-9-1-4.

Second stint with Boston
Lyons signed with Boston on April 18, 1991. With the 1991 Red Sox he played in 87 games, batting .241 with four home runs and 17 RBIs. After the season, Lyons became a free agent.

Atlanta Braves
Lyons signed with the Atlanta Braves in January 1992. He played 11 games for them, batting 1-for-14 (.071) with one RBI. The Braves released him at the end of April.

Montreal Expos
Lyons signed with the Montreal Expos on May 8, 1992. He played 16 games for them, batting 3-for-13 (.231) with one RBI.

Third stint with Boston
The Expos sold Lyons to the Red Sox on June 27, 1992. Through the end of the season, Lyons played 21 games for Boston, batting 7-for-28 (.250) with two RBIs. He also played 37 games with Triple-A Pawtucket. After the season, Lyons again became a free agent.

Lyons signed with the Chicago Cubs in early February 1993, and was released in late March.
 * Chicago Cubs

Fourth stint with Boston
Lyons again signed with Boston on May 7, 1993. With the 1993 Red Sox he appeared in 28 games, batting 3-for-23 (.130). He also appeared in 67 Triple-A games with Pawtucket. Lyons's final MLB game was on October 3, when he played right field and second base in a 14-inning loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. He became a free agent after the season, but did not continue his playing career. In parts of five seasons with the Red Sox, Lyons played in 328 games, batting .251 with 10 home runs and 63 RBIs.

Lyons's overall MLB career totals include a .252 batting average, 19 home runs, and 196 RBIs in 853 games. He appeared twice as a relief pitcher, giving up four hits and one run in three innings pitched for a 3.00 ERA, while walking four and striking out two.

Eccentricities
Lyons's colorful personality earned him the nickname "Psycho". He was known for such eccentricities as playing tic-tac-toe and hangman against opposing players during games, using spikes to mark the infield dirt.

His most remembered incident occurred at Tiger Stadium in Detroit on a Monday night in 1990. In a televised game played on July 16, he created a stir that was replayed countless times. After sliding headfirst into first base to beat out a bunt hit, Lyons pulled down his pants to empty the dirt out and brush off his shirttail. After a few seconds (and a reaction from the crowd of over 14,000), he realized what he had just done and quickly pulled them up, humorously embarrassed. Although wearing sliding shorts under his White Sox uniform, this incident earned him another nickname, "Moon Man" Lyons. At the end of the inning, women in the stands waved dollar bills at him as he came to the dugout.

And the jokes began, "No one had ever dropped his drawers on the field. Not Wally Moon. Not Blue Moon Odom. Not even Heinie Manush." wrote one columnist. Within 24 hours of the "exposure," he received more exposure than he'd gotten his entire career; seven live television and approximately 20 radio interviews. Lyons himself once stated, "We've got this pitcher, Mélido Pérez, who earlier this month pitched a no-hitter, and I'll guarantee you he didn't do two live television shots afterward. I pull my pants down, and I do seven. Something's pretty skewed toward the zany in this game." In a later interview, Lyons said that, in the moment of dropping his pants, "I just brain-cramped."

Fox Sports
After his retirement from the playing field, Lyons became a color analyst for Fox Sports' MLB coverage in 1996, working first in a studio pregame show with Chip Caray and Keith Olbermann, and later on game coverage, usually with Thom Brennaman. He called several Division Series and League Championship Series telecasts for the network. Lyons also served as an anchor for Fox Sports News (later renamed the National Sports Report), Fox's ill-fated national sports news show and rival to SportsCenter.

Fox firing
During their broadcast of Game 3 of the 2006 American League Championship Series (ALCS), broadcast colleague Lou Piniella, who is of Spanish descent, used an analogy about finding a wallet, and then spoke briefly in Spanish. Lyons said Piniella was "hablaing Español" – Spanglish for "speaking Spanish" – and added, "I still can't find my wallet. I don't understand him, and I don't want to sit close to him now." On October 13, 2006, Fox fired Lyons for making the remarks. Lyons was replaced for the last game of the series in Detroit by Los Angeles Angels announcer José Mota. Piniella later stated that he thought that Lyons was just "kidding" and that Lyons was, per Piniella's experience, not bigoted.

Los Angeles Dodgers
From 2005 to 2013, Lyons served as color analyst for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Prime Ticket and KCAL on television broadcasts originating from outside the NL West, broadcasting first alongside Charley Steiner and then Eric Collins. He also co-hosted the Dodgers pre-game and post-game shows for Prime Ticket.

Following Lyons's firing by Fox during the 2006 ALCS, on October 16, 2006, the Dodgers announced that they would keep Lyons as a commentator for their road games. The team said that they gave Lyons probationary guidelines and that he would undergo diversity training. Lyons also continued to host the Dodgers' post-game show, Dodgers Live.

On October 12, 2013, Lyons announced that he would not be returning to the Dodgers the following season.

Boston Red Sox
In 2014, Lyons joined the New England Sports Network (NESN) as a studio analyst and occasional game analyst for NESN's coverage of the Red Sox.

In 2017, Lyons took a leave of absence, starting in June, from his broadcasting job with NESN. In August, it became public that Lyons had been arrested for domestic battery in January, with the arresting officer reporting that Lyons's girlfriend had suffered facial injuries. On August 15, 2017, the three misdemeanor charges against Lyons were dropped in superior court in Torrance, California, after it was determined that the photos taken of Lyons's girlfriend in January had been lost by the police, leading to the dismissal. Lyons's leave of absence extended through the remainder of the 2017 MLB season.

Lyons returned to NESN for the 2018 MLB season, calling Red Sox spring training games with Dave O'Brien, and during the regular season has served as an in-studio analyst and fill-in color commentator. Lyons was not brought back for the 2021 Season and beyond.

Other broadcasting
In the mid-1990s, Lyons worked for WMVP in Chicago, and as an analyst for ESPN and ESPN2. He was part of the Arizona Diamondbacks' broadcast crew in 2003 and 2004. Lyons made his debut video game appearance as a broadcaster in All-Star Baseball 2005 along with Thom Brennaman. He has also been a broadcaster in the MLB: The Show series.

Controversial broadcasting remarks
Lyons has been criticized for making insensitive comments in the broadcast booth on multiple occasions.

Lyons maligned outfielder Shawn Green, who is Jewish, for sitting out a game on Yom Kippur in 2004, saying, "He's not even a practicing Jew. He didn't marry a Jewish girl. And from what I understand, he never had a bar mitzvah, which is unfortunate, because he doesn't get the money." Lyons was suspended briefly without pay after his remarks, and the network apologized for Lyons's comments, although Lyons never made an on-air apology.

In August 2006, while working an Angels-Yankees game, Lyons discussed Italian American Yankees' catcher Sal Fasano, and the fact that he had to shave his mustache to accommodate owner George Steinbrenner's grooming code. Responding to a comment by his fellow Fox sportscaster about how one doesn't want to cross Fasano, Lyons replied, "Well, you know, Fasano is the type of guy 'who knows a guy that knows a guy'."

Lyons and fellow sportscaster Thom Brennaman made fun of a 64-year-old New York Mets fan wearing an unusual device over his eyes at a game during Game 2 of the 2006 National League Division Series between the Mets and Dodgers, with Lyons saying, "He's got a digital camera stuck to his face." The man turned out to be nearly blind, except for limited peripheral vision in one eye, and he was wearing a JORDY, a magnifying device that helped him to see the game. Brennaman later apologized to the man and his family on-air during Game 3 of the series.

Personal life
Lyons is of French and Irish descent, and resides in Hermosa Beach, California. In 1995, he published a book, PSYCHOanalysis, with foreword by Stephen King, of his personal observations and stories about baseball.

Association of Scouts of Azerbaijan

The Association of Scouts of Azerbaijan (Azərbaycan Skautlar Assosiasiyası, ASA) the national Scouting organization of Azerbaijan, was founded in 1997, and became the 150th member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement on 20 August 2000. In 2017 it was admitted as a full member in the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. The coeducational association has 1,571 members as of 2021, about 35% are girls.

History
ASA was founded on October 11, 1997, when Namik Jafarov, former president of the association, gathered the first members of the new movement and held the first Scout camp in Nabran. On August 20, 2000, ASA was invited to join WOSM and the Eurasia Scout Region. Branch offices exist in Shaki Rayon, Barda Rayon, Nakhchivan, Ismailli Rayon, Khachmaz Rayon, Zaqatala Rayon, Aghjabadi Rayon, Ganja, and Yevlakh Rayon.

As of 2004, there are 1,356 registered Scouts and leaders. Half of the registered Scouts live in the capital city of Baku. The remainder is spread throughout the countryside. Scouts of Azerbaijan participated in the 1998–1999 World Scout Jamboree in Chile, as well as several regional National Jamborees, and the second Eurasian Scout Conference, held in Baku in September, 2004.

The Scouts are members of the National Assembly of Youth Organizations of the Republic of Azerbaijan (NAYORA).

There was a parliamentarian interest group to create an Association of Azerbaijan Girl Guides, but this lapsed prior to 2003. A delegation from the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts visited Azerbaijan between 29 and 31 January 2016 and discussed the possibilities of membership in the WAGGGS by 2017. Members of the WAGGGS delegation met with the president and national committee of ASA, Baku, Sheki, and Bilasuvar Scout groups, NAYORA president Seymur Huseynov, Deputy Minister of Youth and Sport of the Republic of Azerbaijan Intigam Babayev, and Head of the Department İndira Hajiyeva.

In January 2019, a new fourth iteration of branding for the ASA was launched, which incorporates the Azerbaijan carpet of Gasimushagy subgroup, ophrys caucasica, and clover as stylized form of the heraldic trefoil, used as the main element in the logo of most Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting organizations.

2019-2023
In October 2023, the ASA joined the European Scout Region, as the Eurasian Scout Region was dissolved.

Ideals and program
The Scout Motto is Daima Hazır, Be Prepared in Azeri. The Azeri noun for a single Scout is Skaut.

The Scout emblem incorporates the tricolor blue-red-green colors of the flag of Azerbaijan with two five edged stars rounded by rope and tied in a reef knot at the bottom. The Scout uniform consists of a khaki-colored shirt with shoulder straps, with adjustable sleeves, khaki-colored trousers or shorts, with a brown belt, and a tricolor blue-red-green neckerchief with a white border edge.
 * 6–12 Cub Scouts
 * 12–18 Scouts
 * 18-above Rovers and Leaders

The Scout promise is "On my honor I promise that I will do my best, to do my duty to my community and Azerbaijan, to help other people at all times, to obey the Scout Law."

Uh, Breadner is no longer Vice-Principal of the school. It's G. Dagonas. I tried changing it but some idiot keeps changing it back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.244.224.18 (talk) 18:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Notable alumni
Can somebody please put in footnotes or references for these people attended this school. A couple I checked aren't here. However, there's no reason to think that list is comprehensive. The school is mentioned in their respective articles, but those articles aren't sourced either. I'm not suggesting these people aren't really alumni (I expect they are), but when lots of school articles list lots of notable alumni without references, it's impossible for others to verify this without sources, and it's easier for mistakes to slip-in. Ideally, somebody who's never heard of the school, or these people, should still be able to verify the information. --rob 14:36, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

All of the alumni listed can be found on the Woburn Alumni website - which is linked to at the bottom - on the "Celebrity Students" page. --Languagevirus 02:20, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Reach for the Top
Sorry folks - but whoever added all this info (I'm assuming its one of the members of the team who has his/her name listed there), it doesn't really belong. It's OK to state that the school won X and Y, but to go into detail about the season, ISN'T talking about Woburn, it's talking about the season that the Woburn Reach for the Top team had. The two aren't exactly the same, and I find the description very distracting and not helpful to the page at all. Thumbs down to whomever posted it. --14 of spades 06:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Um no one cares about opinion, ok? STFU fag, GTFO. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.12.105.175 (talk) 17:22, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Well I suppose you care about (my) opinion, since you're the only person in 2 years to post a reply to my comment. Oh - and I notice you're not man-enough to post under your real I.D. So which one of the team members are you? I'm guessing the one with the massive insecurity issues, since you felt the need to superfluously advertise your name here on Wiki in order to over-compensate for your total lack of actual accomplishments. To boot, you even use expletives at me for outing your attempt to overcome your overt personal anxieties. Good one. Take this moment to reflect on your "High School Glory Days". I'm sure given your attitude, they're the best days you'll ever have. 14 of spades (talk) 12:51, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

ESP
I deleted the thing about the ESP. Horrible grammar, no reference, and the fact that no one has EVER called them the leaders of the school... I've gone to Woburn a few years now, and I've never even heard of them... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.245.16.164 (talk) 05:40, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Nice. I've been wanting to get rid of that for a while, but I wasn't bold enough. Well, actually I thought the appropriate course of action was to try to improve that section. But now that I think about it ESP really isn't notable enough to deserve its own section on this page (after all there are dozens of Woburn clubs...) Bbi5291 (talk) 20:24, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

School Song
I don't know how to add this to the Wiki page, so I'm putting it here. It was written by a music teacher, Mr. Fowler. I assume it is still the school song. We played it at least until I graduated in 1980.

Cheer cheer for Woburn

Cheer with your might

Cheer for our colours

Red and blue and white

Fight fight fight

Go go you Wildcats

Show them why

We are the best

And we're from Woburn C.I.

Somewhere I have the sheet music. If I found it and scanned it, would it be added to the page?

this is no longer the school song but i believe that some of the verses are still in the new one. not sure. the new school song is "the wildcat song" and it is in all of the agendas given to the students. i don't have my agenda handy at the moment though so I can't put it up here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.165.170.168 (talk) 17:01, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Digimon Adventure 02

Digimon Adventure 02 (デジモンアドベンチャー02), marketed as season 2 of Digimon: Digital Monsters in English-speaking territories, is a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation. It is the sequel to Digimon Adventure, and the second anime series in the Digimon franchise. The series aired in Japan from April 2000 to March 2001. It was originally licensed in North America by Saban Entertainment and aired in the US from August 2000 to May 2001.

Adventure 02 was followed by the film series Digimon Adventure tri., which was released between 2015 and 2018.

Plot
Four years after the events of Digimon Adventure, the Digital World is invaded by the Digimon Emperor, who is enslaving Digimon with the Dark Rings while building Control Spires that negate Digivolution. To fight him, three new DigiDestined are recruited, each gaining an ancient Digimon for a partner. The three, along with T.K. and Kari, each possess a D-3, a new type of Digivice that allows them to open a gate to be transported to the Digital World through any computer. They are also given D-Terminals that hold Crest-themed Digi-Eggs that allow their Digimon partners to undergo Armor Digivolution to counter the presence of Control Spires. The Digimon Emperor, revealed to be boy genius Ken Ichijoji, flees to the Digital World. Assisted by Ken's partner, Wormmon, the DigiDestined defeat Ken.

While the DigiDestined rebuild the Digital World, Davis, Yolei, and Cody unlock normal Digivolution. At the same time, they ally themselves with a reformed Ken, who joins the team to fight Arukenimon, a Digimon who revives the Control Spires as other Digimon. When the Control Spire Digimon prove to be stronger than them, the DigiDestined learn DNA Digivolution, which enable two champion-level Digimon to merge into a stronger ultimate-level one. When Arukenimon creates BlackWarGreymon, he begins to destroy each Destiny Stones, hoping to fight Azulongmon, who appears when each Stone is destroyed. After BlackWarGreymon flees, Azulongmon warns the DigiDestined about an impending threat behind Arukenimon and Mummymon.

During Christmas, Control Spires appear across the human world, bringing Digimon with them. While the DigiDestined set off with Imperialdramon to destroy them with the help of the international DigiDestined, Arukenimon and Mummymon begin kidnapping several children for Yukio Oikawa, a friend of Cody's father who dreams of entering the Digital World. Once the DigiDestined return to Japan, they fight the Daemon Corps, and their leader, Daemon, while Oikawa uses the Dark Spore inside Ken to implant them into the children. After Daemon is imprisoned in the Dark Ocean, BlackWarGreymon sacrifices himself to seal the portal to the Digital World at Highton View Terrace, before Oikawa and the kids can transport there.

The DigiDestined are transported to a Dream World with Oikawa and the kids and learn he was controlled by Myotismon. Myotismon splits from Oikawa and uses the energy from the Dark Spores to be reborn as MaloMyotismon. With help from the DigiDestined all over the world, the DigiDestined defeat MaloMyotismon, and Oikawa sacrifices himself to rebuild the Digital World. Twenty five years later, humans and Digimon live together.

Anime
Digimon Adventure 02 aired with fifty episodes on Fuji TV in Japan between April 2, 2000, and March 25, 2001. The opening theme is "Target ~Akai Shōgeki~" (ターゲット～赤い衝撃～) by Kōji Wada, which peaked at #85 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart. The ending themes are performed by AiM, the first half of the show being "Ashita wa Atashi no Kaze ga Fuku" (アシタハアタシノカゼガフク) and the second half being "Itsumo Itsudemo" (いつもいつでも). "Ashita wa Atashi no Kaze ga Fuku" peaked at #50 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, while "Itsumo Itsudemo" charted at #93. Insert songs featured in the show include "Break up!" by Ayumi Miyazaki as the Armor Digivolution theme and "Beat Hit!" by Miyazaki as the DNA Digivolution theme. The Japanese version was streamed with English subtitles on Crunchyroll in 2008, followed by Funimation Entertainment in April 2009.

Saban Entertainment licensed the show in North America. Its English dub aired on Fox Kids in the US and YTV in Canada between August 19, 2000, and May 19, 2001 as the second season to Digimon: Digital Monsters. Much like the English version of Digimon Adventure, which was dubbed as the first season of Digimon: Digital Monsters, the original soundtrack of the show was replaced by music composed by Udi Harpaz and Shuki Levy, and the opening theme is "Digimon Theme" by Paul Gordon. Other songs featured in the show include "Let's Kick it Up", "Change into Power", and "Hey Digimon", also by Gordon. Jasan Radford also performed songs to the show, including "Run Around", "Going Digital", and "Strange." The songs, including "Digimon Theme", were released on the original soundtrack of Digimon: The Movie.

After the success of season 1 of Digimon: Digital Monsters, the producers requested the writers to add more North American jokes to the script, resulting in several revisions. Eventually, along with the result of Digimon: The Movie, this caused writers Jeff Nimoy and Bob Buchholz to leave the writing team near the end of the series' run. A DVD boxset of the English dub was released in North America by New Video Group on March 26, 2013 and in Australia by Madman Entertainment on July 23, 2014.

On July 29, 2023, Discotek Media announced that they are releasing a Blu-ray collection in English and Japanese separately.

Digimon Adventure 02 was streamed by Netflix along with Digimon Adventure from August 3, 2013 to August 1, 2015 in separate English dubbed and Japanese subtitled versions. Crunchyroll acquired streaming rights to the English dubbed versions, while Funimation acquired rights to the English subtitled versions. The English dubbed version of Adventure 02 briefly returned to Netflix while the English subtitled version is now exclusive to Funimation.

Films
Several short films were screened in Japanese theaters during the show's run. A two-part featurette, Digimon Adventure 02: Part I: Digimon Hurricane Landing!!/Part II: Transcendent Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals (デジモンアドベンチャー02: 前編 デジモンハリケーン上陸！！ / 後編 超絶進化！！ 黄金のデジメンタル) was released on July 8, 2000 as part of Toei Animation Summer 2000 Animation Fair. The film was featured along with Ojamajo Doremi#: The Movie, which was screened in between. In the film, the older DigiDestined are abducted by Wendigomon. The younger DigiDestined investigate their disappearance along with American DigiDestined Willis and his partner, Terriermon, who share a common past with Wendigomon. The film grossed ¥120 billion. The film's ending theme song is "Stand By Me ~Hitonatsu no Bōken~" (スタンド・バイ・ミー～ひと夏の冒険～) by AiM.

''Digimon Adventure 02: Part 1: Digimon Hurricane Landing!!/Part 2: Transcendent Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals was released in North America on October 6, 2000, as the third part of Digimon: The Movie, which included Digimon Adventure (1999) and Digimon Adventure: Our War Game!'' (2000). The film was heavily altered, one of the cuts including the subplot where the older DigiDestined are kidnapped by Wendigomon, because Saban Entertainment lacked funding to produce a full two-hour movie. Scriptwriter Jeff Nimoy had wanted to release the movie separately as a television film, but the idea was overruled. In addition to Japanese elements being removed and North American jokes added, Willis' backstory was slightly rewritten to include that he had created Diaboromon in order to draw a connection to Digimon Adventure: Our War Game!

Digimon Adventure 02: Revenge of Diaboromon (デジモンアドベンチャー02: ディアボロモンの逆襲) was released on March 3, 2001. The story follows the DigiDestined fighting against a resurrected Diaboromon. The film was released in the United States on August 5, 2005 and was dubbed by Studiopolis and was distributed by Disney through BVS Entertainment and Jetix.

Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning (デジモンアドベンチャー02: THE BEGINNING) was announced in late 2021. The film is set two years after Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna, and introduces the Digidestined to Lui Owada, a boy who falls from Tokyo Tower and who claims to be the first DigiDestined, though he does not have a Digimon with him. The film premiered on October 27, 2023.

CD dramas
Various audio dramas were released onto CD in Japan, with the cast reprising their roles from the television series.

The first drama CD, Digimon Adventure 02: Drama CD: The Unknown Armor Digivolutions (デジモンアドベンチャー02 ドラマCD 未知へのアーマー進化) was released on February 7, 2001 and is centered on the DigiDestined fighting Boltmon, who captures Sora, Mimi, and Kari on Valentine's Day.

Afterwards, Tobira Door (扉 DOOR) was released on April 4, 2001 and as a single from the Teen-age Wolves and features a drama track where Matt receives a letter from a fan who is about to undergo eye surgery.

The third drama CD, Digimon Adventure 02: Drama CD: The Door to Summer (デジモンアドベンチャー02 ドラマCD 夏への扉) was released on October 3, 2001 and is centered around Davis visiting Mimi and Willis during summer vacation.

Digimon Adventure 02: Original Story Spring 2003 (デジモンアドベンチャー０２　オリジナル　ストーリー　２００３年－春－) was released on April 23, 2003 and follows the lives of each DigiDestined after the events of Digimon Adventure 02.

Reception
Along with Power Rangers, Digimon Adventure 02 was one of the most popular shows on Fox Kids during its run and also contributed to the channel's high ratings, beating out competitors such as ABC, Kids' WB, and Nickelodeon.

Elizabeth Sullivan (born July 30th, 1981 in West Islip, NY) is a hopelessly naive, yet jaded and disenchanted member of the United States Society. Armed with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the University of Miami, she is currently working for near minimum wage as a slave at a veterinarian's office because her conscience forbids her to sell her soul for a respectable income at a pharmaceutical company. She prefers the company of animals to people, and in general spends her time wishing she were either somewhere else, sleeping, or rescuing abused and neglected animals of all kinds.

While considered by many to be an intelligent, solvent human being, her self-destructive, kamakaze style approach to academia has limited if not completely destroyed her chances of going to veterinary medical school. Despite this self imposed adversity, Elizabeth remains optimistic, despite knowing that in the real world good does not conquer evil. She is currently taking classes in a vain attempt to strengthen what appears to be a dismal GPA.

Elizabeth is a cardigan welsh corgi enthuisiast, and in her free time, devotes herself to taking care of her corgi Bridget. Bridget has proven herself to be a far more worthy companion than any boyfriend could ever be, and with far more interesting conversational skills as well. One day, she hopes to adopt several more corgis, not specifying if they are pembroke or cardigans.

Together, Elizabeth and Bridget hope to take over the world, making it free for people with noble hearts, and dogs with short legs to roam in harmony. An ideal, yet unrealistic goal in these troubled times.

To do

 * Radical (Chinese character)

Skewed nuclide charts
One vertical step adds not only a proton, but also a number of neutrons. This produces a chart whose entries do not extend as far to the right, and is thus navigable with less horizontal scrolling.
 * 0: Original table is 102 by 160. (counting only nuclides with halflife >1d) Width is 102 instead of 160 only because axes are swapped from normal orientation.
 * 1: Max width of about 60 at end.
 * 2: Max width of about 50 at beginning.
 * 1.5: Banana-shaped, max width at bottom end, about 25 columns. Alternate rows staggered by half-column.
 * 1 then 2: Changes skew at element 50. Max width of about 25 columns in middle; only wide for small number of elements.

Note significance of skew 1 chart
Just an inquiry on how you're doing with the skew 1 chart data. And to note that in this chart you're actually looking at the significance of a chart of isotope data with relation to 2 factors namely: (1) the atomic number, or what I call the deuteron number, and (2) the "extra neutron number" or the A-2Z number, which I think is more significant than the total neutron number, when it comes to atomic stability considerations.WFPMWFPM (talk) 02:01, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Dániel Berzsenyi

Dániel Berzsenyi (7 May 1776 in Hetye (now Egyházashetye) – 24 February 1836 in Nikla) was a Hungarian poet.

Berzsenyi was one of the most contradictory poets of Hungarian literature. He lived the life of a farmer, and wished to be close to the events of Hungarian literature. This contradiction, which he believed he could solve, made him a lonesome, introverted and bitter poet. His works show signs of classicism, sentimentalism and romanticism.

Biography
Berzsenyi was born the only child of an old noble family. Although his father had a degree in law, he worked on his farm and didn't practise as a lawyer. The father believed that his weak and sickly son must first get physically strong working on the farm. In his opinion, teaching children is only acceptable after the age of ten.

In the autumn of 1788, the 12-year-old Berzsenyi began his studies at the evangelical lyceum in Sopron. He spent seven years there, with shorter and longer interruption. Due to his over-age, he had a hard time conforming himself to the discipline of the school and came up often against the customs; he often missed his lessons. In 1793, he left Sopron without finishing his studies and enlisted into the army, but he stayed there only for less than a year.

Although he never finished his studies, the years spent in Sopron left a deep impression in him. He read many books, acquired outstanding knowledge of the main subjects of that age, of the Latin and German language. His works point to the fact, that he knew the Roman mythology well, and that his ideal was the Roman Horace.

His father found Berzsenyi's behavior in Sopron unacceptable, and the relationship of son and father got worse and worse. Due to his frequent conflicts with his father, he didn't return home from Sopron, but travelled to Nikla, to his uncle. He returned to his father for a few years, but the situation became even worse with the death of his mother in the autumn of 1794, who was a lightning rod of some kind between the two men.

Poetic era
As an "escape" from his father, he married the 14-year-old Zsuzsanna Dukai Takács, the daughter of a wealthy noble and settled with her on her farm near Sömjén. Berzsenyi became a self-supporting and outstanding farmer. In 1804, they moved to Nikla, Somogy county. On the outside, he seemed to be satisfied, but his works prove this wrong. On one hand, he was truly satisfied with his achievements as a farmer. On the other hand, he suffered from the lack of people he could converse with about literature or sciences.

Berzsenyi wrote poems from age twenty (1796), but hid them from his friends and family. In 1803, János Kis, an evangelic cleric and the godfather of one of his children, caught him while he was writing. Kis discovered the poet in Berzsenyi, and sent three of his works to Ferenc Kazinczy, who was rather enthusiastic about them. (A magyarokhoz - To the Hungarians; Nagy Lajos és Hunyadi Mátyás - Louis the Great and Mathias of Hunyad; A reggel - The dawn)

In 1808, he sent János Kis a whole book of verse with 77 poems. Unfortunately, he didn't date the poems, making it impossible to tell the exact time he wrote them. Kis sent them on to Ferenc Kazinczy to support their printed publishment. Kazinczy read them and sent Berzsenyi his first, enthusiastic mail. Naturally Berzsenyi sent his reply, and their long mailing began.

He left Nikla very rarely, he didn't like going away from home. He only visited Pest only twice: in March 1810, and at the end of May 1813. The first time he met Kazinczy's poet friends, waking dispositions for each other. (Pál Szemere, Ferenc Kölcsey, Michaly Vitkovics and István Horvát) In 1812, he spent a week in Vienna. Here, he had a picture painted of himself in preparation for the front cover of his book.

Scientific era
After 1810, he had a rather unproductive era, possibly due to the matters of farming and quarrels with his family. His loneliness, his mood, prone to melancholy, and versatile health made him very vulnerable. From 1816 on, he had problems with his health almost every year. He read Kölcsey's strict, sometimes unfair recension in this unlucky state of body and mind. The recension was published in the issue of Tudományos Gyűjtemény (Scientific Collection) in July, 1817. Berzsenyi felt the criticism degrading, undeserved and unfounded. He believed that it was a personal attack and that it was Ferenc Kazinczy behind the recension. Their mailing was suspended for three years.

After Kölcsey's recension Berzsenyi wrote only a few more poems. His greatest wish was to give Kölcsey an appropriate answer. In his first indignation he wrote his anti-recension without any scientific preparation, as - until this time - he didn't study aesthetics. Although he sent it to the editors of Tudományos Gyűjtemény (Scientific Collection), but it was never published. He never got the manuscript back, despite his pressing requests.

In the next years, the place of poetic creation was taken by scientific works and the study of aesthetics and literature: he tried to make up for the gaps in his knowledge. The "appropriate" answer was published in 1825 with the title "Észrevételek Kölcsey recenziójára" (Observations about Kölcsey's recension) in the September issue of the Tudományos Gyűjtemény (Scientific Collection) - he spent eight years making it. He refused Kölcsey's pretensions based on the aesthetics of classicism in the name of romanticism: he is a poet who cannot be judged by the rules of hellenism. (By 1825 Kölcsey changed his previous poetic-aesthetic views)

Berzsenyi spent most of his time on sciences, the numerous essays show this. He published "A versformákról" (About versifications). Between 1829 and 1834, he wrote "Kriticai levelek" (Critical letters) as well. In 1830 he became the first provincial member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. His inaugural was published in 1833 with the title "Poetai harmonistica" (Poetical harmony). In this essay he favored the aesthetic thesis of classicism over those of romanticism: the main regularity in the world is the harmony. In 1833, he also wrote "A magyarországi mezei szorgalom némely akadályairul" (in modern English: About some obstacles of farming in Hungary).

In the last years of his life, he ailed almost all the time: he cured himself in Balatonfüred and the medicinal baths of Buda. He often attended the conferences of the Tudós társaság (roughly: Scientific group) and planned to move to the capital), but couldn't finish this plan.

He died on 24 February 1836 in Nikla. Kölcsey's expiatory memorial heroic was read by Michael Helmeczy on the Academy.

Work
Horatius' poetry and his philosophy - abstention from extreme emotions, the golden middle course - seemed to determine his life and poetry. Most of the criticals of his age described him as Horatius-copyist. He often used ancient verse forms and applied them successfully to the Hungarian language.

Berzsenyi got classicist inspiration from Horace and the Hungarian Benedek Virág, but he couldn't possibly be successful in forcing the views of ancient poets on himself. Behind the antique verse forms it isn't the classical balance and harmony we can find: it is the longing for these qualities. His closing to romanticism from classicism can be addressed to the works of German poets and writers like Gessner and Matthisson.

Two styles were present in his poetry at the same time - just as the land-owner and the poet in his life, but slowly his ideals were worn out by reality. Disappointment, disillusioned distress take the place of his dreams. In his poem "Barátaimhoz" (To my friends) he says his earlier feelings, dreams to be pointless and remembers his poetic work in past time.

Hideyoshi Obata

Hideyoshi Obata (小畑 英良) was a general in the Imperial Japanese Army in World War II.

Biography
Obata was the fifth son of a Chinese language scholar from Osaka prefecture. He attended military preparatory schools and graduated from the 23rd class of the Imperial Japanese Army Academy in December 1911, specializing in cavalry operations. In 1919, he graduated from the 31st class of the Army War College and was promoted to the rank of captain in the cavalry.

From April 1923, Obata was assigned as a military attaché to the United Kingdom and from November 1927 to August 1934 as military attaché to British India. In August 1934, he was promoted to colonel in the cavalry and recalled to Japan for staff postings within the Imperial Japanese Army General Staff.

Obata was promoted to major general in March 1938, and was reassigned from cavalry to army aviation. He was appointed Commandant of the Akeno Army Air School in August 1938. In December 1940, he was promoted to lieutenant general and commander of the IJA 5th Air Group in Taiwan, where he was stationed at the start of the Pacific War. His command was subsequently assigned to the Burma front in 1942. In May 1943, he became commander in chief of the IJA 3rd Air Army but was recalled to Tokyo in December.

On 18 February 1944, Obata was assigned command of the Thirty First Army, with the IJA 29th Division and IJA 53rd Division in charge of the defense of the Mariana Islands from the approaching Allied forces. He was away from his headquarters on Saipan at the time of the American invasion and established his new command post on Guam. However, at the Battle of Guam he ordered an all-out attack at midnight, 25 July 1944, but was soon overwhelmed by superior American numbers and firepower, losing more than 80% of his men. He retreated with his forces to the northern end of the island, and most of these men were killed in attacks on American armored forces in early August. Obata committed seppuku on 11 August 1944 in Yigo, Guam, ending Japanese attempts to hold the island. Obata was promoted posthumously to the rank of general.

His wife was a daughter of Field Marshal Kawamura Kageaki.

=your comments are not welcome.=

Road
Regarding your recent edition of Road. Unfortunately the change you made rquires discussion, since it's a fairly large change to a long-standing part of the text. You may believe it's false, I'm not arguing about that one way or another, although it seems to me that what is written there is probably true or partially true. I also don't agree that the statement as written is violating NPOV in any serious manner - it only seems to be violating your own personal beliefs, which is something else altogether. The right way to go about this is to make a note on the talk page of the article that you think the statement is false, and invite comments so that others can defend the assertion or else come up with an improved one. Simply removing the text isn't going to work, because obviously others feel that the statement has merit. By all means argue your case on the talk page - but don't keep reverting, because this in itself is unhelpful, and would shortly put you in breach of other wikipedia policies (three revert rule and all that). I will revert for now and start a section on talk, so please feel free to make your point there. Thankyou. Graham 06:31, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

The same applies to Pavement (material) too, which I also reverted. By the way as you feel so strongly about this perhaps you can support your view with a reliable source too? Graham 06:45, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

====

May I remind you of WP:NPA. Calling me a 'rude user' for deleting the rude comment at the top of this page is against this policy. Also, your reversions of the articles I mention above without entering into a resonable discussion as proposed is another violation. Finally, comments here may not be welcome but that is not up to you - by becoming a wikipedian your talk page is necessairily open to all, otherwise how are you to participate in any discourse? I find your attitude puzzling at best, and not really in the spirit of Wkipedia. Continual reversion without entering into dialogue is also rude, so definitely a case of the pot calling. Please desist or follow the proper procedure, otherwise your limited credit with others here will evaporate very rapidly and you'll simply be ignored and blocked. Then your changes won't have a cat's chance in hell so why bother taking this approach? I'm also puzzled by the comment about being a "legal" sockpuppet on your user page - I don't believe there is any such thing, and if you are a sockpuppet then you'll be treated accordingly. Since you have called attention to yourself by your actions, don't be surprised when there are consequences. Graham 08:39, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * thanks for the lecture. maybe if you follow the link to sockpuppet you'll read about how sockpuppets not used to stuff ballot boxes, fake consensus, etc. are accepted at wikipedia. and if you believe that i'm a sockpuppet, you might understand that your condescending tone (which apparently pretends for effect that i reverted your comments) toward a long-time wikipedia user is ridiculous. calling my comment rude is bording on personal attack, and i'm highly offended by your rude comment, NPA-P. if you continue in that manner i must report you to jimbo-bobboy. don't want to, but it's up to you. please be civil. assume good faith. Wbfl 08:52, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Huh? I know what a sockpuppet is. What is a 'legal' one? Anyway, it's irrelevant. I have offered a civil and reasonable chance to discuss changes to the Road and Pavement articles, so that we can figure out the best way to fix these to everyone's satisfation. You refusal to enter into that is puzzling. I do not have any axe to grind, the points you raise may have merit, or they may not, I don't know. I only say that the way you are going about it is wrong, and unlikely to succeed. The onus of proof is equally on you as it is on the person making those claims (who is unfortunately anon, so calling him in to defend himself is probably not going to happen, though I have tried). The text has stood there for some time, and it sounds reasonable. It is not POV, in particular. From personal experience it is obvious that trucks cause the greatest amount of damage to roads - drive on any motorway in the UK and you'll be following deep 'tramlines' in the left lane left by trucks. The track width of these is too wide to be due to cars or other vehicles, so the assertion is at least true as far as everyday observation is concerned. I agree it could do with a source, but if you are saying that trucks do not damage roads, then that assertion also needs a reliable source. In the case of an argument like this, the existing text should remain until it is resolved - it is NOT up to others to prove it is right - otherwise Wikipedia would not have got anywhere. Graham 09:02, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * please stop assuming "POV" that isn't there. if you pay attention, you'll notice that i altered one article to state that trucks cause significant damage. i put that there. and now you're writing here, "if you are saying that trucks do not damage roads"? i said in the edit summary that you should add something factual and NPOV (including attributed POV, if that's what you want). i can blast what's there about 20 ways from sunday. why are you going to insist that i go through that pointless exercise. the claims as they were in the article are imprecise, arbitrary baloney. if that comes from some "official" source, then it should be stated as such. stop treating me like some ignorant newbie and inventing rules about "large sections of text" or whatever you said. please. large sections of text are routinely removed without discussion. further, you keep putting back in irrelevant POV tax claims. why? if it's so important, edit it. i'm axing baloney. you have to at least admit that the tax claim has to go. c'mon. Wbfl 09:09, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The edit summary is NOT a discussion, it is unhelpful to treat it as one. The proper place to discuss this is at Talk:Road - you'll see I have made a start there. The point is, one person says one thing, you are saying it's not true. It's just one person's word against another's, and since the text has stood for months, obviously no-one else felt there was much wrong with it until now. What makes me think you have a POV is the way you have worded your edit comments, which is hardly in neutral, dispassionate language. Clearly these assertions have upset you, for some reason. It seems to me the damage claims are at least reasonable (I will have a look at the tax thing, specifically, which I didn't see before), and so should be able to be defended. If these claims are not reasonable then we can work out how to change the text accordingly, but wholesale deletion seems unwarranted. The way to proceed is to negotiate a text we can agree on - I do NOT agree with its wholesale deletion, hence my reversion. But edit wars are pointless too, so please discuss this. Graham 09:18, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

i discussed it here. you've said nothing about the tax issue -- essentially the only whole subject matter i deleted on that one page. why? on the other edit (4th power), just use your head. reductio ad absurdum. do you also not find it curious that the issue of single-tires v. double-tires isn't mentioned? any claim of a direct exponential relationship between single-tired vehicles and duel-tired, wide-footprint "trucks" is ridiculous. the contributors of the 4th-power woozle and the 10,000x woozette are both attempting to use huge numbers for effect rather than truth -- hence the totally out of place POV tax nibble by somebody pushing an agenda. that it stood so long is criticism of the editors who saw it (rather than the implied validity you assume). if 4th-power/10,000x arguments are to be used w/o clear attribution, they must include much more caveat material. it's a dangerously difficult stat. throwing in taxes takes it into the stratosphere of BS. "Heavily loaded trucks can do more than 10,000 times the damage done by a normal passenger car." so it's more than 10,000, is it? well then why not 12,500? why not, as i can find sources for, far more than that (e.g., canadian trucks)? it's the stat equivalent of weasel words, and it's no testament to wikipedia that it stayed there as long as it did. the 4th-power example was even worse. it's slop, and you're defending it, as though its temporary removal (pending correction) is a tragedy. absurd. Wbfl 03:00, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, as far as I can see the statement more or less says, "trucks are taxed higher than cars". I don't think that's in dispute, trucks are taxed higher than cars in all countries I know about (UK, Australia, most of Europe). It then goes on to suggest this higher taxation doesn't compensate for the damage trucks do. Assuming the statement about damage is true, then this statement seems reasonable to me. So it comes back, in either case, to a) whether trucks do more damage and b) how much more. The answer to a) would seem to be: almost certainly, which leaves us only with answering b. One says damage is exponentially greater, the other says 4th power. These could amount to the same thing, depending on what the figures actually are. Again, it doesn't sound unreasonable (though I note what you say about axle configuration, etc. what it ought to do is relate it to number of tyre contacts rather than axles). That is what we need a source for, and yes, I agree a source for these figures would lend it great credibility that is lacking at present. However the gist of the argument seems reasonable to me, which is why wholesale deletion isn't appropriate - some clean-up and amendment, yes. Anecdotal evidence for the damage trucks do is easy to come by - I've seen it with my own eyes, a cement truck mounted the pavement (sidewalk in American parlance) just here the other day and the whole thing just broke up. You don't see that happen with a car. If anything the car would come off worse by having its tyres wrecked. So what's needed is some source for this 4th power, if it is true. That shouldn't be too hard to come by. And if that turns out to be true, then the "absurd math" that you railed against is in fact perfectly fine, and the statements that follow about taxation are also fine. The so-called 'huge numbers' are not for effect, but in fact follow because that's what happens when exponentials are present. It doesn't help your cause to tilt at windmills - you could easily have simply pointed out what you think is an absurd statement in the talk page, then wait for input. To you it may seem like a 'pointless exercise' but that's the way to build consensus and get the best outcome. Corrections don't have to be instant. In the end it will all arrive at the same place, but a lot less argy-bargy and stress will have been caused. Now, sources. So far the best I have found is a reference which I quote:

 * The American Association of Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) determined in its 1950’s Road Test that pavement damage increases exponentially with the weight of a truck. For example, one 80,000-pound five-axle truck does the same road damage as 9,600 cars. A seven-axle triple does as much damage as more than 27,000 cars. In a number of states, five-axle trucks operate well above 80,000 pounds. A number of states allow five-axle trucks to operate above 80,000 pounds on the Interstate highways under claims of grandfather rights..

 * That's a pretty strong lead - the AASHTO has a website here: . I haven't managed to track down a more direct source there just yet, but I will keep trying. The claim is also repeated by a spokesman for Transport 2000, which should show up if googled. Seems that there is something valid to this, but if you are still unhappy or unconvinced, all the article need say is that "According to a 1950s study by..." etc. If you still don't accept it, then you'll have to come up with a better source of your own that supports your viewpoint. You asked for sources, I have found one, or at least a good lead for one. Over to you. Graham 04:27, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Follow up - google for "AASHTO Road Test", there are lots of references. Seems most of these figures are derived from this original experimental research. There is even a slideshow with maps and photographs showing the tests being done. Graham 04:36, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * you are entirely missing the point with regard to taxes and the damage math. it is absurd math. doesn't matter what some "study" (interested, BTW) says about it. it's terrible to make that claim as it's made. if you want to put it in there with correct attribution, i hope you understand (since i've suggested it about 5 times) that i support that approach. it's still wrong, but at least it's something wrong pinned to a source, not the wikipedia voice. better yet, put in the exact quote with correct attribution. re the taxes, it's not appropriate for insertion in an article about pavement. period. put it in a tax article, or a politics article, or a socialism article -- not the pavement article.

 * that example of the 2,000 lb axle is so stupid i'm baffled that somebody is supporting it. pisses me off that you're attempting to make me smoke that argument with a complete rebuttal. stop wasting time. put the claims you support in the article with correct attribution, leave the tax nonsense out entirely, and come up with a sourced, semi-workable example for the 4th-power crowd. wouldn't that be easier than arguing with me? you want it, you put it in. i got rid of unencyclopedic garbage. i'm not here to represent the trucking industry. Wbfl 04:46, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * In what way is the math absurd? You keep saying that, perhaps you ought to explain what you mean. IANAM but it looks alright to me - a typical car does have about 1/2 ton per axle, if a truck does have 2 tons per axle then 256 times the damage is the result... if anything 2 tons per axle is conservative - that's quite a light truck. A 38-tonner with 6 axles would have more than 6 tons per axle, which would be 12^4 = 20,736 times the damage done by the car. Would you prefer that higher figure? It certainly helps the tax argument look valid, whether or not it's appropriate to mention it. (Personally I feel it is, since 'Road Tax' in the UK at least is meant to be levied for the purpose of maintaining the roads. It isn't of course). Graham 05:07, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

i give up. you are, as they say in your country, a nutter. the recent edit still sucks. Wbfl 05:31, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * So, it's back to throwing insults? If you'd take the trouble to explain what the problem is, I might be able to see it your way. Graham 05:32, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia's ethics towards you
Wikipedia has no policies, applied consistently. All the admins on en-l openly admit counting any shred of persanal fairness as mattering less than developing Wikipedia as they wish. Blocking of only 1 side when 2 sides have done exactly the same thing that the block is supposed to have been for, is routine. It's what happened to me too, and claiming to have any rights against a biased 2-day block actually was the offence that got me permablocked, after only 5 weeks' membership. Look at all these: a voice from within Wikipedia's own system describes how the ArbCom and dispute resolution systems are rigged with discretionary catch-alls that always enable admin to win http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-June/024230.html on how force of group numbers dictates Wikipedia pages's content http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-July/025936.html this is actually called "don't bother reporting abusive admins" http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-July/025921.html I was wary of how the umpiring of pages the whole world can fight over could possibly work well, but I was drawn into Wikipedia by a friend who was briefly (and no longer is, already!) having good experiences with sharing his medical concerns on a couple of pages on medical subjects. Here are 2 administrators saying to me http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-August/027816.html http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-August/027817.html saying "You are not entitled to anything" and "Wikipedia is not a democracy." On the nature of Wikipedia: http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-July/025583.html http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/08/322087.html http://spectrum-fairness.blog.co.uk/ tag "Wikipedia" messages of support: "some of the people on there do seem pretty sarcastic and bullying .... some of the right-wingers on there seem to think mentioning anything negative but factual about Reagan or Bush constitutes bias and there do seem to be some nasty characters on there." - from Aspievision, http://s13.invisionfree.com/aspievision/index.php "You are not the only one who has had problems with Wikipedia taking sides in a dispute, and being blatantly unfair to the other side without even giving them a chance to defend themselves." from FAMSecretSociety, a Yahoo group " of late I've noticed that some independent contributions have been either radically edited or censored. I've not had time to check articles on 9/11, the London Bombings, the assault on Falluja etc, but judging from the way content was edited promptly out of articles on SSRIs, schizophrenia and Asperger's, there definitely seem to be operatives in place ready to clamp down on anything that may cast doubt on establishment canards." from Medialens, http://www.medialens.org/board/

Fair use rationale for Image:Axcelis.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Axcelis.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:48, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

 * 2) Strong support.  This user has put in an amazing number of edits (not to fall victim to editcountitis, but over 16,000 edits shows strong commitment to the project).  I don't see any problems with giving Tregoweth the mop.   Ral  315   WS  06:21, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Comments

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. A lot of my edits now are housekeeping of one form or another (copyediting, reverting bad edits, watching for vandalism, etc.); I expect as a sysop I would continue this, along with helping other people with speedy deletes, page moves, renames, and all of the other things I've asked of admins. :)

 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. Probably my work on categories and disambiguation pages; I'm always pleased when I can make articles easier for someone to find.

 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. I have had a few minor conflicts (usually resolved), and some users have caused me stress, but I try to remain calm and reasonable.

Dwight Washington

Dwight Marlon Washington (born 5 March 1983) is a West Indian international cricketer.

Washington made his first-class debut as a fast bowler for West Indies B in the Carib Beer Cup in 2003–04, taking 20 wickets at 22.00 and earning a place in a strong Carib Beer XI against the England XI at the end of the season. Against Guyana, batting in his usual position of number 11, he scored 58 off 58 balls, including six sixes.

He played for Jamaica in the 2004–05 season, taking 19 wickets at 16.84 and helping Jamaica win the title. He took 4 for 18 and 5 for 20 in the match against Windward Islands at Nain. He was selected to play in the Fourth Test against South Africa later that season, but took no wicket for 93 on a batsmen's pitch that produced 1462 runs (including a Test record eight centuries) and only 17 wickets.

He toured Sri Lanka with West Indies A in June and July 2005, then played three matches for Jamaica in the KFC Cup later that year, then dropped out of top-level cricket at the age of 22.
