Quill & Quire

Quill & Quire is a Canadian magazine about the book and publishing industry. The magazine was launched in 1935 and has an average circulation of 5,000 copies per issue, with a publisher-claimed readership of 25,000. Quill & Quire reviews books and magazines and provides a forum for discussion of trends in the publishing industry. The publication is considered a significant source of short reviews for new Canadian books.

History
Started in 1935 by Wallace Seccombe's Current Publications, Quill & Quire's original editorial focus was on office supplies and stationery, with books taking on increasing importance only as Canada's fledgling indigenous book publishing industry began to grow and flourish. In 1971, Michael de Pencier purchased the magazine from Southam (who had bought it from Seccombe and owned it for just six months). Quill & Quire remained with de Pencier as part of the Key Publishers/Key Media stable for 30 years, until its sale in 2003 (as part of a larger transaction involving Key Media) to St. Josephs Corporation, a Canadian-owned and -controlled printing and media company based in Concord, Ontario, which also publishes Toronto Life.

Quill & Quire was substantially redesigned in 2006 in an effort led by publisher Alison Jones, editor Derek Weiler and art director Gary Campbell. One of the chief aims of the redesign was to demonstrate to the book and magazine industries the viability of printing on 100% recycled, environmentally-friendly paper stock (it was one of the first magazines in Canada to do so). As part of the process, the magazine's trim size was reduced for the first time in 30 years, from a large tabloid newspaper size (11" x 14") to that of a standard magazine. This also marked the first time the magazine was printed entirely in colour. The debut redesign issue (January 2006) featured author and artist Douglas Coupland on the cover.

As part of this visual re-think, Campbell commissioned Canadian typographer Rod McDonald to draw a new logo and provide two custom typefaces, named Laurentian and Slate, in order to create a fresh and unique visual identity for the publication. The redesign was later shortlisted for an art direction prize at the Kenneth R. Wilson Awards. Campbell acted as art director for both the print magazine and web site for five years. Athena St. Jacques was hired to take over art direction for the print publication in 2008 when Campbell shifted his focus exclusively toward the web site, which he continued to direct until 2012. Other notable former staff include Ted Mumford, Kenneth Oppel, Bert Archer, James Grainger, and Nathan Whitlock.

Editor-in-chief Derek Weiler died unexpectedly on April 12, 2009, at age 40, as the result of a chronic heart condition.

The current editorial masthead includes Sue Carter Flinn, editor-in-chief; Steven Beattie, review editor; and Dory Cerny, Books for Young People editor. The publisher is Alison Jones and the associate publisher is Attila Berki, founder and former owner of the small publishing house Riverbank Press. Athena St. Jacques is the magazine's art director, Caroline Potter is the production manager, and Larry Wyatt is the consumer marketing manager.

Quillandquire.com and digital brand expansion
The first Quill & Quire web site was launched in early 2004 as a membership-based online companion to the magazine. Spearheading the project were editor Scott Anderson, art director Gary Campbell, former Shift magazine web designer Steve Park, and developer Jakub Labath. The site replaced a twice-weekly PDF email newsletter, and was one of only a few Canadian magazine web sites to successfully implement a Paywall. As of March 2014, ten years on, this paywall is still in place. At launch, the site also included an archive of Canadian book reviews dating back to 1996.

In January 2007, the staff began blogging daily in a new site feature outside of the paywall called Quillblog.

In 2010, the website was extensively redesigned by Michelle Darwin and Gary Campbell. Subsequently, the site was shortlisted for best digital design, best news coverage and website of the year at the Canadian Online Publishing Awards that year.

Site-wide social media and a global commenting platform were added in September 2011. That year the site won two awards at the COPAs: gold for best news coverage and silver for website of the year.

Tattenham Corner

Tattenham Corner is in north Surrey, England, the name is principally associated with Epsom Racecourse. The railway station of the same name is in the Tattenhams ward of Reigate and Banstead Borough.

Location
Tattenham Corner refers to the sharp bend in the track at the eastern (upper) part of Epsom Racecourse and in its immediate vicinity of Tattenham Corner railway station. The racecourse itself and a short length of road between the station and the course are in the borough of Epsom & Ewell. The local residential area is in Tattenhams ward of Reigate & Banstead.

History
The area is on the northern slope of the North Downs. It was formerly used largely for cattle pasture, sheep farming and wood gathering. By the 1770s, Tattenham Corner was the established name for the top section of the relatively new Epsom Racecourse on Epsom Downs. Between 1850 and 1950 much of the area was built up. The railways arrived in the area.

Emily Davison
On 4 June 1913 Emily Davison obtained two flags bearing the suffragette colours of purple, white and green from the WSPU offices; she then travelled by train to Epsom, Surrey, to attend the Derby. She positioned herself in the infield at Tattenham Corner, the final bend before the home straight. At this point in the race, with some of the horses having passed her, she ducked under the guard rail and ran onto the course; she may have held in her hands one of the suffragette flags. She reached up to the reins of Anmer—King George V's horse, ridden by Herbert Jones—and was hit by the animal, which would have been travelling at around 35 mi per hour, four seconds after stepping onto the course. Anmer fell in the collision and partly rolled over his jockey, who had his foot momentarily caught in the stirrup. Davison was knocked to the ground unconscious; some reports say she was kicked in the head by Anmer, but the surgeon who operated on Davison stated that "I could find no trace of her having been kicked by a horse". Bystanders rushed onto the track and attempted to aid Davison and Jones until both were taken to the nearby Epsom Cottage Hospital. Davison was operated on two days later, but she never regained consciousness; while in hospital she received hate mail. She died on 8 June from a fracture at the base of her skull.

Topography of Tattenhams
Tattenhams is a residential area centered on the road Great Tattenhams (B2221). It largely coincides with the Tattenhams ward of Reigate & Banstead borough. It is bounded to the south by the Preston Estate, to the south-west by Tadworth, to the west by Walton Downs and Epsom Downs, to the north by Nork and to the east by Banstead. Elevations range between 180 m AOD (above sea level) at its south-east corner and 140 m along most of the northern border. The ward also includes, at its east end and some way from Tattenham Corner, a small area known as Great Burgh, which usually refers only to the former manor site there.

Tattenhams has an established Church of England parish.

Demography and housing: Tattenhams ward
The average level of accommodation in the region composed of detached houses was 28%, the average that was apartments was 22.6%.

The proportion of households who owned their home outright compares to the regional average of 35.1%. The proportion who owned their home with a loan compares to the regional average of 32.5%. The remaining % is made up of rented dwellings (plus a negligible % of households living rent-free).

Homes, mostly split between the three main types of houses with gardens are predominantly of early twentieth-century origin. The fourth category of homes here, apartments range in date from the late-twentieth to the early twenty-first centuries.

Transport
Tattenham Corner railway station is where Queen Elizabeth II used to be dropped off by the Royal Train on race days, and is closer to the racecourse than Epsom Downs railway station. There are several bus services going through the area, towards Epsom, Sutton or Redhill. In 1993 it was the site of a train crash, where a driver several times over the then legal drink-drive limit failed to stop the train at the buffers, crashing into the station-hut.

Gogo (Final Fantasy)
Delete. Only ever appeared in one game and a hidden boss in another, and has little backstory. Most of the article is original research about his identity. A Link to the Past (talk) 23:32, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

 * STRONG KEEP:So? All of the other Final Fantasy characters have articles, and there's too much information to include in the main Final Fantasy VI article. There is nothing wrong with making separate articles for the main characters. Articles for NPCs are another issue however. If you ask me, all of these deletion nominations were made in very bad faith.

The original research could be removed. The information about Adlai Stevenson is pretty humorous, though, and it well known among the Final Fantasy VI community.

PiccoloNamek 00:28, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Being well-known in a community is not an argument to keep an article. There ARE standards on what deserves an article, you fail to realize. - A Link to the Past (talk) 00:38, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I realize perfectly. And I never stated that the information was the reason to keep the article. What I said was the original research should be removed, but it's still pretty funny.PiccoloNamek 01:48, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The research is well known, indeed, worth of being kept in the Talk page for anyone who does not really know about FF6 to access quick and easily. -- ReyBrujo 02:49, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. Factually accurate, verifiable and notable. --Oldak Quill 01:03, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep I can sorta almost see an argument to delete this and Umaro... but even if I thought that, Gogo's appearance in two games makes the article more relevant anyway. --HeroicJay 19:18, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * True, but I think it's important to note that the only reason Final Fantasy V's Gogo has an article is because the one from FF6 does. Taken as a seperate entity, an optional boss from relatively obscure console role-playing game would have been submitted (and probably passed) AfD ages ago. – Seancdaug 01:50, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
 * There's also the fact that I voted "Keep" on all the more important characters, and it wouldn't make much sense to delete just those two and keep all the others, IMHO. I'm not entirely opposed to a merge, but we have individual character pages on lots of other one-game-appearance characters, including most recent Final Fantasy characters. --HeroicJay 03:39, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep:So? All of the other Final Fantasy characters have articles, and there's too much information to include in the main Final Fantasy VI article.

I promised myself I wouldn't mass-vote, but there's no point to keeping that promise now; they're all basically the same structurally, and after specific game info like lists of spells/attacks/etc. are removed, these are perfect list entries. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 02:44, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep (or, relunctantly, Merge into an appropriate article): goodish or improveable article of a major character in a notable game, can't say why it shouldn't exist. And "only appeared in one game" is a pretty silly note since all Final Fantasy games are content-wise 95% different from each other. (And considering the vote for all characters is probably going to be voted keep/merge anyway and it's three AM here, in case anyone's reading and someone's counting these, I'd repeat this for all of the characters but I won't. Just saying this once because this article happened to be on my watchlist.) --Wwwwolf 00:25, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Your argument for him only "appearing in one game" does not stand up to the fact that there are plenty of articles on wikipedia about characters that appear in one film or music artists that make one album. He has cult status.

General Congregation

The General Congregation is an assembly of the Jesuit representatives from all parts of the world, and serves as the highest authority in the Society of Jesus. A General Congregation (GC) is always summoned on the death or resignation of the administrative head of the order, called the Superior General or Father General, to choose his successor, and it may be called at other times if circumstances warrant. A smaller congregation of worldwide representatives meets every three years to discuss internal business and to decide the need for a general congregation.

Congregations
Through its four-century history, the Society has convened 36 general congregations.

First General Congregation
The first General Congregation took place in 1558, when Father Diego Laynez was elected Superior General. It had been delayed for two years after St. Ignatius’ death because of a war between King Philip II of Spain and Pope Paul IV.

General Congregation 5
General Congregation 5 took place in 1593-4.

General Congregation 27
General Congregation 27 took place in 1923.

General Congregation 31
General Congregation 31 met during 1965 and 1966, meeting initially for several months, from 7 May to 17 July 1965, then breaking off for over a year and then reconvening for two more months from 8 September to 17 November 1966. GC31 issued 56 decrees and elected Pedro Arrupe as the 28th Superior General.

General Congregation 32
General Congregation 32 was held between 1974–75. In particular, Decrees 2 and 4 of the congregation highlighted a Jesuit commitment to "the crucial struggle of our time: the struggle for faith and that struggle for justice which it includes".

General Congregation 33
General Congregation 33 in 1983 elected Peter Hans Kolvenbach as Superior General. It reaffirmed the commitment of the previous congregation to the promotion of justice as an integral part of all its ministries in the service of faith, and extended this commitment to refugee populations. In this it was following up on Superior General Pedro Arrupe's founding of the Jesuit Refugee Service in 1980. It also emphasized the importance of inculturation of the church in non-Western cultures, in part due to the large number of delegates coming from various parts of Africa and Asia with, unlike previous congregations, eighteen of the twenty-one delegates from India being native Indians.

General Congregation 34
General Congregation 34 took place in 1995. For the first time in Jesuit history, the majority of delegates did not come from Europe and the United States. It endorsed a justice-based mission mindful of the needs of the poor and marginal. It called for understanding differing cultures on their own terms and openness to other religious traditions. As religious vocations had continued to decline, there was an emphasis on enabling others to serve, with specific emphasis on the laity and on women.

General Congregation 35
General Congregation 35 took place in Rome between 7 January and 6 March 2008. Adolfo Nicolás was elected as the new Father General. Pope Benedict XVI confirmed and applauded the Society's efforts to venture into the "new frontiers" of our time, which included globalization, new technologies, and environmental concerns, even as the previous themes of promotion of justice and care for refugees are reiterated, along with the need to pass on to the laity the Jesuit charism through the Spiritual Exercises and the practice of communal discernment.

General Congregation 36
General Congregation 36 was called in 2016 after Adolfo Nicolás had announced his resignation, and it elected Arturo Sosa as Superior General to replace him. Taking its cue from Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato si', it emphasized that poverty, social exclusion, and marginalization are linked with environmental degradation. In the second of its two decrees it called for greater commitment to discernment, collaboration, and networking, for a broader process for evaluating the Society's current apostolic preferences which included lay colleagues in the discernment.

 * Keep:So? All of the other Final Fantasy characters have articles, and there's too much information to include in the main Final Fantasy VI article. There is nothing wrong with making separate articles for the main characters. Articles for NPCs are another issue however. We also have to consider the fact that the Tina is effectively the main character. That is, as much of a main character as a game like FFVI could have.

Unless you want to go and delete the other characters' pages, I say that there is no reason to delete this one. As for the merge argument, I see no point for it. As was previously said, I say that there is too much good info to not have its own page.

Argentine Socialist Vanguard Party

Argentine Socialist Vanguard Party (Partido Socialista Argentino de Vanguardia) was a political party in Argentina. PSAV was founded around 1960 as a leftist split from the Argentine Socialist Party (PSA). The founder of PSAV was Alexis Latendorff. The remaining PSA became known as 'PSA (Casa del Pueblo)'.

In the congress of PSAV in 1961 in Córdoba, PSAV explicitly adopted Marxism-Leninism and a politico-military revolutionary strategy.

PSAV later split up, into Popular Vanguard and Communist Vanguard.

Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo Perón

Estadio Presidente Perón is a stadium in Avellaneda, Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina. More commonly, it is called El Cilindro de Avellaneda (The Cylinder of Avellaneda ). The stadium is the home of Racing Club de Avellaneda.

The stadium was designed by German engineers with experience in reconstruction of cities destroyed in the World War II. It has a capacity of 50,880 spectators.

Racing venue was the first stadium to have roof grandstands, after refurbishment made in the 1990s.

The Presidente Perón replaced the old Alsina y Colón stadium, which was closed in 1946.

History
The first project to build this stadium started in 1944, with the purpose of improving club facilities. A special committee was created to acquire 30,000 m2 that were owned by railway companies (British-owned by then). President of Argentina, Juan Perón suggested to build it in Retiro neighborhood, near Buenos Aires downtown. Racing Club executives decided to stay in Avellaneda.

Works began in 1946. The Government of Argentina lent Racing Club money to finance the construction. In gratitude, the club executives named Juan Perón honorary president of Racing. The driving force behind this funding was Argentina's Minister of Finance, Ramón Cereijo, a passionate supporter of Racing Club.

On 1 December 1946, Racing played its last match in the old stadium, vs Rosario Central (a 4–6 defeat). The old stadium was demolished while the new venue was inaugurated on 3 September 1950, when Racing beat Vélez Sársfield 1–0. Llamil Simes scored the only goal.

In 1951 the Presidente Perón stadium was one of the venues for the Pan American Games held in Argentina that year. All football matches of the competition were held there. In 1966, the club placed light towers. To celebrate that, the club invited FC Bayern Munich (which brought to Argentina some of its most notable players such as Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Muller and Sepp Maier) to play a match in the stadium, which was won by Racing 3–2.

At international club level, Racing Club played significant matches in Estadio Presidente Perón, such as the 1967 Copa Libertadores final v Club Nacional de Football and the 1967 Intercontinental Cup final v European champion Celtic FC. At domestic competitions level, Racing was the venue for the 1969 Argentine Primera División final between Chacarita Juniors and River Plate, and the 1976 final where Boca Juniors beat River Plate 1–0 with the "ghost goal" by Rubén Suñé.

In 1993, the Municipality of Avellaneda gave its approval to change the name of Cuyo, one of the streets that surround the stadium. The name changed to Oreste Corbatta to honour a player who is regarded as the greatest idol in the history of Racing. It also resembles an American cookie cutter stadium from the 60s and 70s

Concerts
The stadium has hosted some national and international concerts since the late 1990s. Some of the artists to have played at the stadium are Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota (1998, with a record attendance of 45,000), Rammstein (on 27 November 2010, att: 40,000), Judas Priest and Whitesnake together (18 Sep 2011, att: 35,000), Viejas Locas (14 Jul 2012), La Renga (6 Jan 2024) and Wos (20 April 2024).

Acasta Gneiss

The Acasta Gneiss Complex, also called the Acasta Gneiss, is a body of felsic to ultramafic Archean basement rocks, gneisses, that form the northwestern edge of the Slave Craton in the Northwest Territories, Canada, about 300 km north of Yellowknife, Canada. This geologic complex consists largely of tonalitic and granodioritic gneisses and lesser amounts of mafic and ultramafic gneisses. It underlies and is largely concealed by thin, patchy cover of Quaternary glacial sediments over an area of about 13,000 km2. The Acasta Gneiss Complex contains fragments of the oldest known crust and record of more than a billion years (>4.0–2.9 Ga) of magmatism and metamorphism. The Acasta Gneiss Complex is exposed in a set of anticlinoriums within the foreland fold and thrust belt of the Paleoproterozoic Wopmay Orogen.

Nomenclature
The gneisses of the Acasta Gneiss Complex were first regionally mapped during a mapping program carried out by the Geological Survey of Canada. These gneisses were informally named the Acasta gneiss complex for the Acasta River east of Great Bear Lake in 1985 by J. E. King. Later, it was referred to as the Acasta gneisses by S.A. Bowring and others in 1989 In subsequent publications, Acasta Gneiss Complex is used instead of Acasta gneisses.

As the result of a detailed mapping and U–Pb dating, the oldest zircons of the Acasta Gneiss Complex were found to occur within a relatively homogeneous and mappable tonalitic gneiss by J. R. Reimink and others in 2014. They named it the Idiwhaa tonalitic gneiss. The Idiwhaa tonalitic gneiss has yielded abundant well-preserved igneous zircons with a U–Pb crystallization age of 4.02 Ga. It is a relatively homogeneous mafic tonalite that consists primarily of plagioclase, quartz, hornblende, biotite and minor garnet, with small, cross-cutting felsic veins.

Lithology
The Acasta Gneiss Complex is a heterogeneous assemblage of foliated to gneissic tonalites, trondhjemites, granodiorites, and granites which contains minor quartz-diorites, diorites, gabbros, and ultramafic rocks. Of the 13,000 km2 of the Canadian Shield underlain by Acasta Gneiss, only a 50 km2 area has been mapped and studied great detail of its remoteness and patchy outcrops due to a thick cover of Pleistocene glacial deposits. The study of the age distribution of detrital zircons from the Pleistocene deposits inferred the unmapped Acasta Gneiss Complex covered by Pleistocene deposits consists of a significant volume of 3.37 Ga granitoids. This study also concluded that near its inferred eastern limit, the unmapped Acasta Gneiss Complex contain rocks at least as old as 3.95 Ga.

Contacts
The base of Acasta Gneiss Complex is unexposed and unknown. It is considered to be unconformibly overlain by Central Slave Cover Group. The base of younger Late Mesoarchean greenstone belts that comprise the Central Slave Cover Group consists largely of fuchsite-bearing quartz arenite,. These quartz arenites are associated with chert-magnetite iron formation, rhyolite, and locally some ultrabasic rocks. These strata are intrerpreted to be remnants of the earliest sedimentary and volcanic strata that accumulated on Mesoarchean crystalline basement of the Slav craton.

Origin
From decades of petrologic, geochronologic, and geochemical studies, it has become apparent that the Acasta Gneiss Complex, as it is now exposed in the Canadian Shield, is the result of the complex interplay between repeated periods of felsic magma generation from the partial melting of older, mafic crust, its crystallization as felsic plutonic rocks, and subsequent thermal metamorphism. The formation of the Acasta Gneiss Complex began at the end of the Hadean and continued episodically over much of the Archean. The oldest felsic rocks that are currently exposed intruded pre-existing, even older, mafic crustal rock and crystallized well beneath the Earth's surface. Later, these rocks were thermally metamorphosed, intruded by additional felsic magma, and partially melted during Eoarchean thermal events occurred about 3.85 to 3.72 Ga and 3.66 to 3.59 Ga. The metamorphism and intrusion by felsic magmas continued throughout the Archean. This included major periods of intrusion by granitic magmas about 3.30 Ga, 2.88 Ga, and 2.70 Ga. Finally, these rocks were intruded by multiple Paleoproterozoic dike swarms and syenites about 1.80 Ga. The setting in which the tectonic activity that created the Acasta Gneiss Complex is proposed to have been a block of dominatly mafic protocrust, at least some of which crystallized in the Hadean. This block of protocrust would have been very similar to modern Iceland in its geology.

Earth’s oldest rock
With zircon U-Pb crystallization ages as old as about 4.03 Ga, beds within the Acasta Gneiss Complex are,, regarded to be the oldest known felsic rocks (crust) on Earth. Based on the analyses of Sm and Nd isotopes, mafic rocks of the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt, found on the shore of Hudson Bay, Inukjuak, Quebec, are argued to be the oldest rocks (crust) on Earth with estimated crystallization age of 4.313 Ga. Unfortunately, because of the basaltic composition and low-Zr content of the rocks comprising Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt, they essentially lack the igneous zircons needed to reliably date them. As a result, their age and status as oldest known rock on Earth remains controversial. U-Pb crystallization ages of igneous zircons from felsic, trondhjemitic bands of intrusive origin within the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt only demonstrate that these rocks are older than 3.768 Ga.

Exhibit

 * In 2003 a team from the Smithsonian Institution collected a four-ton boulder of Acasta Gneiss Complex for display outside the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. Another sample is on display in the Museu de Geociências of the University of Brasília, Brazil.
 * In October 2016, a sample of Acasta Gneiss Complex was placed on public display at the Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake City, Utah, US alongside samples of stromatolite and banded iron formation.
 * In 2006, Peter Skinner and Bert Cervo contributed a small sample of the rock to the Six String Nation project. Part of that material was inlaid into the first fret of Voyageur, the guitar at the heart of the project.
 * On the campus of the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Canada, a boulder from the Acasta Gneiss Complex has been placed in the Peter Russell Rock Garden.

 * Delete per nom. doesn't belong here.--Alhutch 00:43, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I believe the page should remain up. It provides insight into a different aspect of the internet world that many do not know exist. (Anonymous comment made by 148.177.1.213)
 * Are there any articles based on any other private clubs throughout history listed in Wikipedia? A quick search does in fact show that those type of articles do exist. Haeleth's objection to the article based on his quote of "private internet message board" seems questionable.
 * While some may wonder about the importance of this entry, to people interested in the cross-section of literacy, technology and social-cultural interactions, the treehouse is quite noteworthy. The phenomenon of people from a wide variety of backgrounds interacting with each other through written language is worthy of further study. Relationships are forged and broken, political sides are taken and defended to the posters' literary ability, wits are sharpened.
 * How does race, gender, and socio-economic status effect online relationships? Do private social worlds like The Tree House loosen the bonds of society's artificial barriers? Can there be a social world where good looks and money don't count as much as a quick wit and a glib "pen?" The glimpse provided here into the Tree house should be of interest to sociolinguists, and anyone else interested in the dynamics of vastly different people from vastly different backgrounds, voluntarily communing together through the internet.

 * Comment While your argument is well intentioned, and seems to be well thought out, the fact is that this page doesn't belong on wikipedia. Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia. It is not a directory of every chatroom on the internet. It is not the place to publicize your online community. Will this page mean anything to someone who is not a member of your community? I doubt it. If you want to put it up somewhere else, that's fine, however it does not belong here.--Alhutch 04:56, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment See WP:V. A board which, according to the article itself, is only accessible to 67 people, is ipso facto non-verifiable. This article is therefore in violation of Wikipedia's official policy, regardless of any other merits it may have. (I do not, incidentally, see that it has other merits. 67.9.151.177 has not described any phenomena not already well-known from Usenet or IRC.) Haeleth 11:02, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

The definition of encyclopedia is:A comprehensive reference work containing articles on a wide range of subjects or on numerous aspects of a particular field, usually arranged alphabetically.

By definition, there is no definition of what should and should not be in an encyclopedia. To delete this article would by all means show that Wikipedia is in fact not an encyclopedia at all, but rather a web site in which a small group decides what can and what cannot be posted. This sounds like a "private" group, much like this "Treehouse" group.

 * All encyclopedias have a small group of people who decide what goes in or not. You cannot just add something to the Encyclopedia Britannica: does that mean it's not an encyclopedia?
 * In the case of Wikipedia, the "small group" includes every living human in the world. Anyone is welcome to argue whether something should or should not be included. But we also take into account precedents and policies, which represent the existing consensus of the majority of contributors, and save most people from having to vote on every single article. Several of those policies happen to suggest strongly that this article should be removed. That is why you see all these people voting to remove it. — Haeleth Talk 21:41, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
