Thanks so much! The vandals can be taxing, but it's definitely worth the effort. Take care! unsigned comment from user:Eleemosynary

Sheehan Article
Thanks for the headsup regarding the Sheehan vandal. I'll continue to keep an eye on him. Soltak 22:42, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Viral marketing
I honestly don't worry about it too much. Pages that describe notable commercial entities are likely prone to the introduction of positive information by agents of said entities, but that's not the same as someone writing up an article on a non-notable business in the hopes of promoting it. Those articles are swiftly deleted, but as for notable entities, as long as edits are factual and not an attempt to remove negative information, there is no cause for alarm. Frankly, if every Fortune 500 company wants to have their PR person deposit a bunch of info about their company's good works into their article, I would welcome the contribution so long as it wasn't pure fluff, and so long as they did not try to supress unflattering details. -- BD2412 talk 02:16, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Just curious
Why do you delete everything on your talk page instead of just archiving it. Your choice of course, I just wondered why. (Please feel free to ignore this personal question and please feel free of course delete this question entirely). hydnjo talk 02:58, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

An Administrator's Work Is Never Done...
Hi Karmafist. Thanks for the rewarding compliment. Viral marketing is a tricky subject. The user you describe seems more than likely a new user with an emotional attachment to the article they're working on, something close to them. It seems they've taken your advice and are open to communication which is a positive. Wikipedia has policies which come close to discussion on viral marketing, such as No Original Research and Vanity. There was some discussion about viral marketing on Wikipedia on the Wikipedia-l mailing list recently. You might wish to subscribe yourself to join the discussion there. List archives are available here if you've missed the main thrust of the debate. -- Longhair | Talk 03:01, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Red Eye
I moved Red Eye(drug) to Red Eye (drug) because the first lacks a space in the name before "(drug)". This is incorrect. —Tarnas 05:08, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

I hope while I stumble around adding and updating where I can, that I don't cause too much damage.

Chowdah template
Hi, I couldn't get your en-MA template to work, so I swiped and tweaked the code and put a version on my user page. I did something similar for the en-US box right above yours. Let me know what you think of the changes I made; mostly, I lightened the blue to make the text more readable and made the border the same red as the left cell. Friejose 16:44, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Glad you liked my version. I figured you were aiming for a local team color scheme, so I tried to find a blue that worked.  When you have a chance take a look at the Manny Ramirez and Yankees-Red Sox rivalry articles; I've been involved in dealing with some NYY fans there as you'll see on their respective talk pages.  It'd be great if you could keep tabs on the situation.  I want things to be fair and NPOV, unfortunately, those are amorphous terms, and baseball brings the passion out in people.  Well, at least people from the Northeast!  Thanks again, Friejose 18:09, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Good guess on the last name; no relation to the columnist, though I often like his writing. Let me know if there's any editing/articles I can help you with, and thanks again.  Friejose 18:38, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Nice tweak on the border of the template, I changed mine too. Also, sorry about the over-long length of the template on my user page, I lengthened it for my own nefarious purposes. – Friejose 12:53, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Law land
Taking off for the evening, but I'll write a nice long post on lawyering tomorrow. Thanks for the continued input. Friejose 22:25, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Work looks ridiculous today, but I haven't forgotten my promise of yesterday. Read the student loans article in the meantime, that's step one to understanding life as a lawyer. Also, thanks for the Tony Mas help. You know that if you simply put in the ISBN code, it automatically links to a ton of resources, libraries included, to find the referenced book? Just discovered it myself, vy cool. I'll show you what I mean on Mas' article page. – Friejose 12:53, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * So to finally answer your question, I enjoy being a lawyer most of the time. I do a fair amount of work around land use and other types of real estate disputes. It's great being in Boston; though I grew up around here, I never lived in the city until after law school. Politicians and lawyers seem to be an inspearable breed sometimes, but it makes some sense, the politicians draft the laws, right? Plus, law school gives you a framework with which to analyze issues and address those issues in a logical way, which is helpful when dealing with political topics. It's also that many lawyers are jerks, and so they're naturals to be politicians too (^_^) What are things like up in NH? – Friejose 21:28, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Human Rights Servey on Wikipedia (The final post of I_sterbinski)

 * Dear all,

 * Wikipedia was recently a subject of intensive research of an huge international human right organization. A team of people from different nationalities and ages were acting on Wikipedia for 20 days, investigating previously noted anomalities of Wikipedia free editing and forming a final report, which (between the others similar reports) will later be a guide to all future moves of the organization concerning Wikipedia. Acting under an account of a real person, their privacy is to be held private. Therefore, very few private information will be revealed.
 * Also, this is a result of the lack of final possition of the organization concerning Wikipedia and human rights, which was still not formed.

 * The team's final post on Wikipedia, where they explain their actions can be found on the following addresses:
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:I_sterbinski
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Macedonia#Human_Rights_Servey_on_Wikipedia_.28The_final_post_of_I_sterbinski.29

 * The team would like to thank to all the persons who took part in the correspondence with us.
 * We also want to appologise for keeping our identity secret for a longer period.

 * Best regards,
 * Aleksandar, Biljana, Asparuh, Christos, Valjon, Michael and Ana Luiza

irc
FWIW, I use ChatZilla. For a while before that I used xchat. Just wanted to let you know I got your note - I'll be happy to help you figure out IRC in a day or two but not tonight - too tired! :-) FreplySpang (talk) 03:20, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Any luck on the IRC front? :-) FreplySpang (talk) 01:15, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * ChatZilla is built on top of Mozilla, so if you use FireFox or Mozilla (but not K-Meleon, for reasons I don't understand) it's great. You can Google it, download it and go. Otherwise, you might want to look at this list: for other possibilities. There are several free clients out there - if you Google for "free IRC client" you'll get lots of choices. Once you get one it's pretty easy to set up. Hope this helps! FreplySpang (talk) 03:13, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks:)
Hello, and thanks for welcoming me. I'm quite used to the wikipedian style, just that I've newly made meself a user. However, I use wikimedia software privately, for storing notes from school, so I'm used to the wiki markup language. I guess I won't really be much involved, but a bit I guess...

Ah, sorry for that then :) Vidarlo 17:13, 28 August 2005 (UTC) As you might guess, I'm most used to personal wiki, where I kinda can guess who's edited stuff ;)

Greetings, friend. I just wanted to put a prediction down somewhere so later on I can gloat about how awesome I am. Here it goes: a certain VFD we voted on will result in vandalism on the pages of "delete" voters. Just a prediction.

Thanks for the kind words. Cool "welcomed users" list! --Fire Star 03:03, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

I second that...and thanks for the encouragement. This guy has got to be shown the door and if it hits him on the way out, well, my heart shall bleed purple piss for him. :) Seriously, let's see what he does after the block.  If he's a good little monkey, I'm all for an RfA.  If he moves so much as a millimeter out of line or I hear of one more attack or threat to a user, the boom's getting lowered.  Good luck on your run for office! - Lucky 6.9 22:23, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Just left word with Fire Star that our playmate is now taking a one-month time out. The e-mails just keep coming and he refuses to acknowledge any wrongdoing on his part. Worse, the guy keeps using his automated signature which links to the sales section of his website! One more e-mail and he goes away for good. - Lucky 6.9 22:49, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

 * As I also mention on Lucky's talk page, I'm afraid it was inevitable, and his behaviour certainly supports a ban. There was a brief period when I was able to get through to the guy, back in July or so, but the need for attention was too much for him. The fantasy martial arts business is a fertile breeding ground for histrionic personality disorder, I'm afraid. Cheers, --Fire Star 23:16, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Missing Barnstar
Dear Karmafist,

The missing barnstar has been created per majority concensus. We hope that you, as the original proposer of this missing barnstar, can create a page to talk about the missing barnstar yourself. Thanks and regards.

Thanks on the Missing Barnstar
Thanks for the reminder there. Copyrights on images that are modified into a new image were never my cup of tea. I'm going to make an explainer page by the end of today hopefully so I can finally get that bad boy on the Barnstar page.

Also, after looking at your page above(It looks pretty good), I was wondering if you could give me any tips to finally get to "Expert Wikipedian" status. I feel as though i'm at an intermediate level in a "Wikiplateau" of sorts. Karmafist 17:20, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I'd harldy call myself an expert :)
 * I can recomend usage of subpages. You seem to have a lot of long lists on your userspace. You may want to place them in sub articles. I can do this for you if you like. ;)
 * What kind of tips do you have in mind? --Cool Cat Talk 17:56, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Re:Gert Jonnys
Hi. sorry about that. I indeed am quite new here.

I am by no means an expert on that band. I only know what I have read on various websites, Swedish Wikipedia included. I see there's a deletion request now. I will let the other wikipedia users vote decide. (Entheta 22:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC))

HTML
First, REALLY THANKS FOR THAT AWARD!!!!!!!!

You asked me about an HTML question about the color stripes. Before I can tell you how to convert, I have to understand what color format does your colors come from? Decimal R-G-B, H-S-L, or something else? 01:38, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

CDVF, IRC and other acronyms
Hi! Glad to hear you're getting ready to IRC!

CDVF uses IRC behind the scenes, but hides it away from the user. So you can use it without having to learn the details of Chatzilla etc. To install CDVF, look here: WP:CDVF. It's pretty straightforward. (The only twist is that you have to have the Java Runtime Environment on your computer, but if you don't, it's free and easy to install.) Just download the file called "vf.jar" and double-click it. No need to unpack it or anything. It should bring up a window with a big gray area and some buttons; one of the buttons says "Connect." Press it, and it will start showing you all the changes being made on the English Wikipedia as they happen. Double-click on any one of them and it will bring up the diff of that change.

If you want to use Chatzilla to chat with Wikipedia folks (there are always some around): Start FireFox. Click on the Tools menu and pick "ChatZilla". This will bring up a ChatZilla window that says, among other things, "Available networks are [dalnet, efnet, freenode, hybridnet, moznet, quakenet, serenia, slashnet, undernet, webbnet]." Click on "freenode". It will bring up a freenode window. Click in the one-line edit window at the bottom and type "/nick Karmafist". (It will give you a message about registering your nick which you can ignore or follow as you please.) Then type "/join #wikipedia" and it will bring up another window with the Wikipedia channel. Anything you want to say, just type it in that one-line edit box.

Hope this helps! Let me know if it works for you. Cheers, FreplySpang (talk) 21:58, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oooh, FrSp beat me to it. Come back to irc soon :) +sj  +  01:39, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * FrSp! :-) Honestly, I'm not sure what every single color in CDVF means. Pink means an edit by an anon ip. Orange means a newly-created page. Aqua/blue means a large change in size: often either blanking or copyvio. Then there's yellow, which I think is related to the "temp blacklist." Happy vandalfighting!

Re: Question on the charts
Unfortunately, I can't help you without knowing what the problem is. What is your skill level with MS-Excel? If you have substantial experience with it, you should be able to recreate everything I've done using what I provided on User:Durin/Admin nominee charts as a model to follow. What problems are you having in particular? I reverted your change to the Admin nominee charts page because the section heading for that section changes every time I add a new chart. I update the number of images available in each section as I add material to them. Thus, referring to "Admin nominee edit analysis graphs (15)" will be quickly obsolete. I have the numbers on the ends of section headings so that I can more easily keep track of how many images in total I have contributed. Thanks, --Durin 17:18, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Crucial step (maybe I missed it in my description); select all of column A. Then replace "(hist) (diff)" with "--". Poof, all the #value!'s go away :) If that doesn't work, let me know. --Durin 13:36, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Again, hard to know exactly what's going wrong. This would probably be easier if I just sent you a copy of the what I have. Could you please give me your e-mail address? Thanks, --Durin 14:48, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh I absolutely agree that the charts do not capture any value to the edits. I think the subjective measures are considerably more important than objective measures. Also, I agree with your disagreement about talk pages and non-talk pages; I think edit summaries are important everywhere. See this diff for my rationale . I only did the talk/non-talk numbers because Lord Voldemort raised it as an issue on his RfA. --Durin 22:18, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Esperanza Election
Hey Karmafist,

I saw that you removed your vote for me in the Esperanza election with a summary of "per user page box error". Since I was playing with the Esperanza userboxes to switch them to the new template outside my user page, I wonder if I did something wrong with your user page. If that happened, I'm sorry and I apologize. But if it wasn't, then what did you mean by that? Tito xd (?!?) 00:18, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

I apologize again. And I'm sorry you're having a crummy day. Is there anything we Wikipedians can do? Tito xd (?!?) 03:30, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, it's going to be hard to do the first one, since I'm in the wrong side of the U.S. And sorry, I'm rooting for the other sox, because you guys got your break last year (I've gotta be honest), but I am vehemently rooting for the Yankees to get completely annihilated!!! :D. And while I don't know of a job that pays to do Wikiwork, if I knew of one, I'd tell you where it is. But I can think of some things to feel better. When I'm stressed out, I either grab a tennis ball and whack it with a baseball bat (or something else that's violent and stress-releasing) or I go play something. I see you're a percussionist, so just go play and make the neighbors complain! Just go have fun doing something, man, that always works!!!!
 * P.S: Are you really running for public office? My sarcasm-detection device is deactivated right now, so I can't tell if you're serious about that one or not. Tito xd (?!?) 04:21, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, I can't help with any of the suggestions from Titoxd's page, but have a cup of coffee on me. Hope things get better. -- Essjay ·  Talk 04:16, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Man, quoting my best friend, "Stop looking at what's dragging you down the hole and look instead at what's dragging you out of the hole!" You got more than one-half of the votes the winner got. So it's not like no one knew about you. Just not enough people knew about you, and that can be fixed (maybe even the fact that you're a Wikipedian can help bring you attention somehow!) Also quoting her, "the darkest hour of the night is just before dawn breaks." So, if it is bad right now, just hang in there. Heck, so many things happened to me over the last year and I kinda found a refuge in Wikipedia, but now everything is much better. The same will happen with you. Tito xd (?!?) 05:07, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yay! I'm gonna get a holiday! :) 'cause I'm sure you're gonna do great in the election. Tito xd (?!?) 05:14, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

More on stress
Don't let an oppose vote get you down from your RfA. Just look here: Requests for adminship/Redwolf24. I got 7 people opposing. I'm sure the case would be different if I were to run now, but I was actually feeling down because of those 7 people. Its nothing to worry about, and don't let it get to you. R e  dwolf24  (talk) 04:43, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Yankees, etc.
Oh, I'll root for any team that's playing the Yanks, so does that make me a Red Sox fan? :) But I was so happy when the Sox beat the Yanks on the ALCS last year. I was jumping up and down because I dislike the Yankees so much. But man, if you want negativity, look at the D'backs the last two years... the only memorable year was when they beat... yep, the Yanks! :) Tito xd (?!?) 05:12, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, I'm pretty sure they will, since baseball isn't going anywhere. Tito xd (?!?) 05:26, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Anytime
Hey man, it was a pleasure. Let me briefly explain my vote (I dont usually do this, so bear with me.) I voted for you because of the various acts of kindness I have seen throughout wikipedia done by yourself. Edit count is one thing, but being a helpful, polite, and simply all round kind user is even more important, IMO. I am glad to see you and MONGO are ok as well now. During the Wikiproject:Wikipedians for Decency Vfd debacle (if you remember), I (on the other side of the issue) was also most impressed at your cool headedness and politeness while I, among others, came pretty close to losing it! So, all in all, you are now going to be listed in the new upcoming "users I hold in high regard" list on my userpage. Sorry for the message length, thats all I have to say.

Marge Gets a Job

"Marge Gets a Job" is the seventh episode of the fourth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on Fox in the United States on November 5, 1992. In this episode, Marge gets a job at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant to pay for foundation repair at the Simpsons house. Mr. Burns develops a crush on Marge after seeing her at work and sexually harasses her. A subplot with Bart parallels the fable "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".

The episode was written by Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein and directed by Jeffrey Lynch.

Plot
The Simpson family's house needs its foundation repaired, but the family does not have enough money to afford the repairs. When a job opens at Springfield Nuclear Power Plant (because Mr. Burns has forced the retirement of an employee who has worked at the plant for 45 years), Marge decides to apply for the job opening so she and Homer can collectively earn enough money to pay for the foundation repair. After Lisa helps Marge write a resumé, Marge is hired. Mr. Burns becomes infatuated with Marge.

Meanwhile, Bart, after making several excuses to avoid taking a test, is forced to take the test by his teacher, Edna Krabappel. She places him alone outside the classroom, hands him the test, and leaves. A captive wolf escapes from a taping of The Krusty the Clown Show and attacks Bart outside the classroom. He cries "Wolf!" but Edna, who advised him to read "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", ignores him. Groundskeeper Willie rescues Bart by fighting the wolf, giving Bart time to return to his classroom. Since he feels that he will not be believed if he tells the truth, Bart says, with apparent honesty, that he made up the story. He then passes out and Edna realizes that Bart really was attacked.

In an effort to impress Marge, Mr. Burns gives her a promotion. When she tells him that she is married, he fires her from her position and sexually harasses her. She threatens to sue Mr. Burns and enlists the help of Lionel Hutz. Hutz initially has a strong case, but he flees in terror after discovering Mr. Burns has ten lawyers. Homer stands up to Mr. Burns and admonishes him for sexually harassing Marge. Mr. Burns is impressed by Homer's devotion to Marge and decides to arrange a private concert for them featuring Tom Jones, who had previously been taken captive by Burns after Marge told him she was a fan of Jones's music.

Production
The idea for the show came from Conan O'Brien, who thought of Marge getting a job at the power plant and that Mr. Burns has a crush on her. The animators had trouble animating Marge with the suit and lipstick. Director Jeff Lynch said there were a few scenes where Marge "looks like a monster". All the jargon used by Troy McClure was taken from a Time–Life foundation repair book and used accurately. The original subplot for the episode was Mr. Burns telling Homer to dress up as Mister Atom and have him go to schools to talk to the children. The cast really liked Tom Jones as a guest star. They said he was fun to work with, and was really nice, and even offered to perform a concert after he was done recording lines.

The animators had originally drawn three different versions of Bart after he was attacked by the wolf. They picked the version that looked the least scary, as they did not want Bart to look too "beaten up". An animation error during the dream sequence with Mr. Burns also caused issues when dealing with network censors, mistaking a "lump in his bed" as an erection, which was supposed to be Mr. Smithers' knee.

Cultural references
The restaurant "The Spruce Caboose" is a reference to Howard Hughes's plane The Spruce Goose. Homer's fantasy of life in the woods is a parody of Henry David Thoreau's Walden. Grandpa Simpson asks Bart if he has read "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", and he replies "I glanced at it. Boy cries wolf. Has a few laughs. I forget how it ends." Mr. Burns asks Smithers if he can dig up Al Jolson. The song performed for Mr. Burns at the retirement party is based on the song and dance number in Citizen Kane (1941). The photo of Mr. Burns meeting Elvis Presley is modeled on the photo of Richard Nixon meeting Elvis. While Mr. Burns is looking through the surveillance cameras, "The Imperial March" from the Star Wars films is played in the background.

Critical reception
Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, the authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide commented, "We like Bart's fantasy of the radioactive Marie and Pierre Curie, and Smithers' fantasy of his loved one flying through the window. A collection of wonderful set pieces rather than a story, which fizzles out without any real attempt at an ending."

Empire placed the "Mister Burns" dance number as the show's fourth best film parody, "the pick of a big bunch" from the show's many Citizen Kane parodies, coming "replete with Wellesian camera angles and subtly altered lyrics".

Nathan Rabin writes that "'Marge Gets A Job' is just about perfect. There is not a wasted sequence or unfunny gag. It's head-spinningly smart in a way that doesn't call attention to itself—like setting the retirement party at The Spruce Caboose, a giant, unwieldy, trainwreck-themed eatery whose name and conceit are brilliant parodies of Howard Hughes' giant wooden airplane, the Spruce Goose. In its golden prime, The Simpsons did things no one else would and did them better than anyone else possibly could. In the process, it created a legacy that is still unmatched two decades on."

Ratings
In its original broadcast, "Marge Gets a Job" finished 25th in ratings for the week of November 2–8, 1992, with a Nielsen rating of 13.6, equivalent to approximately 12.7 million viewing households. It was the highest-rated show on the Fox network that week, beating Beverly Hills, 90210 and The Simpsons episode "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie", which aired on Tuesday in the same week.

Alternate version
In the original airing of this episode, Mrs. Krabappel names several different diseases Bart has faked in order to get out of taking his English test, one of which is Tourette's syndrome. After Bart claims that he is not over it, he begins barking and snarling and mutters, "Shove it, witch!" This scene garnered many complaints from people who thought it was tasteless of the writers to make fun of an actual condition and Joshua Smith, a boy in Renton, Washington began seeking legal action. Smith demanded that they "not repeat the episode and have Bart Simpson befriend somebody with Tourette's on the show" and include an apology from Bart at the end. Executive producer Mike Reiss replied with an apology saying "We kind of feel like we made a mistake this time. We felt bad about this." In a move that was unprecedented for the show, the producers agreed to remove the scene from future broadcasts. However, Smith's other requests went unfulfilled. In the version of the episode released on the season four DVD boxset, the part with Bart demonstrating his supposed Tourette's syndrome to Mrs. Krabappel was kept intact, but Krabappel's line about Bart having "...that unfortunate bout of Tourette's syndrome" was replaced with "...that unfortunate bout of rabies."

Additionally, during Smithers' dream sequence with Mr. Burns, censors demanded the cutting of several seconds of animation that showed "Mr. Burns land[ing] in a particular position on Smithers anatomy".

Following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and the associated nuclear emergency, the episode was pulled from an Austrian network due to jokes about radiation poisoning.

Tagima

Tagima is a Brazilian guitar manufacturing company based in São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo. The name Tagima comes from Seizi Tagima (田嶋せいじ), a Japanese descendant who learned to craft guitars just by watching the process.

The company currently produces electric, acoustic and classical guitars and basses. In the 1980s, Seizi Tajima began to produce his own electric guitars and basses. After becoming successful, in 1996 he sold the rights to the "Tagima" name to Marutec Music, a local importer of musical instruments. Tagima kept helping its development, becoming the most famous Brazilian luthier. After the sale to Marutec, Tagima instruments were exhibited at MusikMesse (in Frankfurt) and NAMM Show in Los Angeles. The company also signed an agreement with the IG&T (Guitar and Technology Institute of São Paulo) to be the exclusive supplier of instruments of the school.

Tagima also hired luthier Marcio Zaganin (regarded as the main luthier in Brazil) to take over the development, production, and quality control of instruments manufactured by Tagima.

Tagima also partnered with Volkswagen to create a Volkswagen Gol vintage model to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the vehicle.

Long Way Down (Goo Goo Dolls song)

"Long Way Down" is the fifth single by the Goo Goo Dolls from their 1995 breakthrough album, A Boy Named Goo. The song is often overshadowed by the low-key ballad "Name", which launched the band to household names. Although it wasn't as successful as the chart-topping success of "Name" on the rock and pop charts, "Long Way Down" reached No. 7 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and No. 25 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. It didn't make it to Billboard's Mainstream Top 40 chart, although it did reach a peak of #49 on the Radio & Records pop chart for one week on July 26, 1996 before falling off the following week. "Long Way Down" appeared on the soundtrack for the 1996 film Twister, which contributed to the song's success. The band performed the song on the May 22, 1996, episode of Beverly Hills, 90210.

Track listing

 * 1) "Long Way Down" - 3:28
 * 2) "Don't Change" (Live)
 * 3) "Name" (Live)

Germany release

 * 1) "Long Way Down (Tom Lord-Alge remix)" - 3:31
 * 2) "Don't Change (Live)" - 3:48

Use by other artists
"Long Way Down" was covered by the metalcore band Haste the Day as the final track on their album When Everything Falls, released in 2005 on Solid State Records. In 2009, the rapper Charles Hamilton sampled "Long Way Down" on a song titled "Something" for his mixtape My Brain Is Alive.

Music video
The official music video for "Long Way Down" shows the three band members playing in a darkened room, with quick and dizzying camera angles.

WCKY-FM

WCKY-FM (103.7 MHz, "Buckeye Country 103.7") is a radio station licensed to Pemberville, Ohio. Owned by iHeartMedia, the station - branded as Buckeye Country 103.7 CKY - features a classic country format, and is the Toledo affiliate for The Bobby Bones Show.

From its inception until 2008, the station was licensed to (and originally broadcast from) Tiffin, Ohio where the transmitter is located. Originally it simulcast and was a sister station to WTTF, now an AM station at 1600 kHz. WCKY-FM's studios and offices are located at Superior and Lafayette in downtown Toledo.

Beginnings: as WTTF-FM
WCKY-FM first signed on the air as WTTF-FM in 1963, four years after the premiere of its AM sister. The station was founded by Robert G. Wright and Milton Maltz, who formed Malrite Communications, based in Cleveland, Ohio. The station first broadcast from its AM transmitter site at an effective radiated power of 3,000 watts at the time of its inception.

In the mid-1980s, WTTF-FM was granted a construction permit to operate at an effective radiated power of 50,000 watts making 103.7's signal listenable over much of Northwest Ohio. WTTF, Inc. built a new tower on County Road 48 to accommodate the larger antenna needed for the upgrade, on the property of its then vice president, Richard J. Wright. After the upgrade, there were few changes in the station's program offerings.

As one of the few high-powered FM radio stations in rural Northwest Ohio, the station offered a full-service format of both oldies and adult contemporary music, with high school and college sports from Heidelberg College and Tiffin University.

Break from Malrite
In the late 1970s, Wright sold his interest in Malrite to his partner. The transaction resulted in the split of WTTF-AM-FM from Malrite and operated as a separate entity under Wright's management. Wright died of lung cancer in the early 1980s.

His younger son Richard, who served as the station's engineer, ascended to the position of General Manager. Wright's other son, Robert "Bob" E. Wright, continued in his capacity as Program Director.

WTTF in its heyday
WTTF prided itself on community service and had a full contingency of live on-air personnel at a time when most stations were automating. Music was delivered almost exclusively on records and the station had an extensive record library encompassing adult contemporary, country and some rock and roll. There was a Saturday oldies programming on vinyl records supplied by the station and disc jockeys.

Prior to the FCC Telecommunications Act of 1996, which made the EAS (Emergency Alert System) the law of the land, radio stations broadcast emergency information through EBS (Emergency Broadcast System). Rather than pay full price for an expensive unit to receive EBS messages, Richard Wright built his own receiver, called the DW-76 (meaning Dick Wright and the year it was manufactured). The unit field-tested successfully, and received FCC Type Acceptance for legal use, but only for WTTF-AM-FM. Bob Wright handled morning DJ duties with two others handling the midday and evening on-air DJ shifts, as well as a news staff of two. Bob also did a daily talk and opinion show called "Sound Off" from 11 to 11:30 a.m. Under the Wright ownership, the station only broadcast about 16 hours a day.

The station had a community service and adult contemporary music format during the day. During the evenings after 6pm, the station played country music on a program called the "Double T Roundup," which lasted until the early 1980s. The AM station (1600) signed off at local sundown until 1990, after receiving nighttime broadcasting rights. The FM station (103.7) broadcast until 10 p.m. During the day, the two stations simulcast.

Among the many announcers that had peopled WTTF over the years were Jack Kagy (who served as news director for 19 years), Rick (Cochran) West (nearly eight years in the mid-day slot), Kevin Craig, Randy Dean, Ken Hawk, Andree Sterling, and Frank Barber. Many of these announcers and many others went on to larger markets for many years as WTTF provided a fertile training ground.

Sale, present day
In 1996, at the age of 56, Bob Wright was killed by a head-on collision with a pickup truck during a snowstorm. As a result, the station was sold to Jacor Communications, which was in turn acquired by Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia) in 1999. After the sale of the station, former co-owner Dick Wright remained as an assistant engineer on a contract basis, up until his death January 1, 2008.

Clear Channel initially was selling their Findlay cluster, along with other small market clusters, over to Florida-based GoodRadio.TV LLC in May 2007, but the deal soon collapsed prior to FCC approval. Clear Channel ended up spinning off WTTF, along with the Sandusky cluster and WPFX over to Fremont-based BAS Broadcasting on January 15, 2008. BAS took over WTTF on February 1, and as WCKY-FM was not included in the deal, this ended 45 years of common ownership between the two stations.

In December 2007, the Buckeye Country moniker was dropped in favor of branding with its call letters. Its city of license was also shifted to Pemberville, Ohio, to closer target Toledo.

On July 2, 2019, WCKY shifted to a traditional country format focused primarily on country hits from the 1980s and 1990s, and revived the previous Buckeye Country branding.

Unorganized machine

An unorganized machine is a concept mentioned in a 1948 report by Alan Turing titled "Intelligent Machinery", in which he suggested that the infant human cortex was what he called an "unorganised machine".

Overview
Turing defined the class of unorganized machines as largely random in their initial construction, but capable of being trained to perform particular tasks. Turing's unorganized machines were in fact very early examples of randomly connected, binary neural networks, and Turing claimed that these were the simplest possible model of the nervous system.

Turing had been interested in the possibility of simulating neural systems for at least the previous two years. In correspondence with William Ross Ashby in 1946 he writes: I am more interested in the possibility of producing models of the action of the brain than in the applications to practical computing...although the brain may in fact operate by changing its neuron circuits by the growth of axons and dendrites, we could nevertheless make a model, within the ACE, in which this possibility was allowed for, but in which the actual construction of the ACE did not alter, but only the remembered data

In his 1948 paper Turing defined two examples of his unorganized machines. The first were A-type machines — these being essentially randomly connected networks of NAND logic gates. The second were called B-type machines, which could be created by taking an A-type machine and replacing every inter-node connection with a structure called a connection modifier — which itself is made from A-type nodes. The purpose of the connection modifiers were to allow the B-type machine to undergo "appropriate interference, mimicking education" in order to organize the behaviour of the network to perform useful work. Before the term genetic algorithm was coined, Turing even proposed the use of what he called a genetical search to configure his unorganized machines. Turing claimed that the behaviour of B-type machines could be very complex when the number of nodes in the network was large, and stated that the "picture of the cortex as an unorganized machine is very satisfactory from the point of view of evolution and genetics".

Arquà Petrarca

Arquà Petrarca is a town and municipality (comune) in northeastern Italy, in the Veneto region, in the province of Padua. As of 2007 the estimated population of Arquà Petrarca was 1,835. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy"), and it has been awarded the Bandiera arancione award for excellence in tourism, hospitality and the environment.

Within the town boundaries lies the Coast Lake (Laghetto della Costa), one of the Prehistoric Pile Dwellings Around the Alps, since 2011 in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list.

Petrarch
Arquà is the place where the poet Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca) lived the final four years of his life (1370–74). In 1870, the town of Arquà added his name to its own. The house where he lived is now a museum dedicated to the poet. The German international literary Petrarca-Preis awards were held in his residence in 1976 and 1977. In 2004, the 700th anniversary of the poet's birth was celebrated here and in nearby Padua.

History
Human presence in Arquà dates back to the Bronze Age, according to archaeological excavations made between the second half of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century. Afterwards, the territory was inhabited by the Eneti, and then annexed to the X Regio Venetia et Histria during the age of Augustus.

The legacy of the Roman domination is still present in toponyms (Bignago derives from Bennius, Mercurana from Mercurius) and archeological evidence, such as grave goods, imperial coins and sewage lines.

The village was probably established within a defensive line existing during the Barbaric age, connecting the Rocca of Monselice, a city at the center of the local political and administrative Longobard jurisdiction, with Valle San Giorgio, Cinto Euganeo and the plains at the east of the Euganean Hills.

In the Middle Ages, a castle (castrum) was built on a height, inhabited by Rodolfo Normanno, as certified by a document produced in 985 A.D. The original village developed around this fortified height, called Monte Castello (Castle's hill), with two distinct nuclei growing near the two churches of St Mary and the Holy Trinity.

At the edge of the current Arquà's boundaries, archaeologists found a necropolis attributed to the Euganeans, a population living in the area before the colonization of Rome.

Origin of the name
The name of Arquà derives from Latin Arquatum or Arquata ("Arched"), which was modified during the period of the Republic of Venice to Arquada and finally Arquà. In 1868, after Veneto was annexed to the Kingdom of Italy, the name was changed to Arquà Petrarca in homage to the poet who spent there the last years of his life.

Tourism
Still today, the town preserves a medieval aspect, and it is set in a picturesque location on the slopes of Monte Ventolone and Monte Castello, within the Euganean Hills. Arquà features two city squares: Piazza Petrarca (Petrarch Square) and Piazza San Marco (St. Mark's Square). Near St. Mark's Square stands the Vicars' Lodge, a public space built in the 14th century for heads of families to discuss with the Vicar. In 2003, the roof was rebuilt with a structure of glass and copper, after being demolished in 1828. Being a small village, a complete tour of the main historical sites requires only a few hours.

Agriculture is commonly practiced in Arquà: local produce includes olives, extra virgin olive oil, honey, chestnuts, and ziziphus (the town is famous for its brodo di giuggiole, or jujube broth ).

Waitākere railway station

Waitākere railway station is a disused station on the North Auckland Line located in the village of Waitākere, to the north-west of Auckland, New Zealand. It served as the western terminus of the Western Line of the Auckland suburban network until July 2015, when services were restricted to Swanson and Waitakere Station was closed.

It has a crossing loop, a turntable and a small station building, which is in a poor state of repair.

History
The station opened on 18 July 1881, an original station on this section of the North Auckland Line, as Waitakerei, and changed to the current spelling in 1909. In 1972 the station building was replaced, the old building being relocated to MOTAT for preservation.

This station was a suburban terminus from the 1930s, despite low patronage. In 1980, after the daily service between Auckland and Helensville was withdrawn, it became the terminus for passenger trains and in railway terms the northernmost passenger station on the national rail network (geographically the former Auckland railway station was further north).

Off-peak Mondays to Fridays every second Western Line train from Britomart continued beyond Swanson to Waitakere until the station's closure in July 2015, when these services ceased with the electrification of the Western Line to Swanson. A bus shuttle service operates between Waitakere and Swanson for this non-electrified section.

Tramway
Between 1908 and 1925 a tramway operated to the west of the station as the kauri forests were felled. In 1908 Cashmore brothers sublet a contract to Short Bros (Bill and Owen) to fell timber near O’Neill’s farm, haul it with bullocks over a skid road to the foot of the hill, up Te Henga Road on wooden rails to the top of the ridge (Steam Hauler Track) with a stationary engine, then by horse drawn wagon down Bethells Road to Waitakere Station. Smyth’s mill was alongside the Waitakere River at the junction of Te Henga and Bethells Roads. The Cashmore contract ended in 1912, after which Smyths took over until 1919, though they cut a block on Long Road until the early 1920s. In November 1919 Kauri Timber Company (KTC) sought tenders to extend the tramway, to send logs to their Freeman’s Bay mill. They added 2 steam engines and extensions in the Waitakere Valley, linking to the Short/Smyth incline, and, at the other end, east to Waitakere Station. KTC had up to 600 men working 38,000 acres of Goldie’s Bush/Waitakere, Wainamu Valley, Snows Bush and Mokoroa Stream. In the 1920s their driving dams sent logs to a lagoon (now Te Henga Wetland), where a steam launch towed them to the east end of the lake, near Brissenden Stream, then a tramway locomotive went on the north bank of the Waitakere River, crossed the river and continued a short way to the foot of the hill, where the steam hauler on Short Bros tram route, pulled the logs on their bogies, with a long wire rope, up the hill and along the ridge, close to the line of the present Steam Hauler Track. From the top, the hauler lowered the bogie by gravity down a valley south of Bethells Road to the foot of the hill (near the junction of Bethells and Wairere Roads), where the second engine towed the logs along what is now Bethells Road and over the Kumeu River to Waitakere Station. Parts of the tramway embankments remain in farmland in the valley. By the end of 1925 the locomotives were sold, tram rails lifted and the stationary engines moved to Great Barrier Island, after taking 31m super feet of KTC timber and 4m for David Goldie & Sons.

Closure
Waitākere Station closed in 2015 as part of the Auckland railway electrification project. The Waitākere Tunnel between Waitākere and Swanson was too low for overhead electrification equipment to be installed, and the cost of enlarging the tunnel was deemed to be unjustifiable as Waitākere was one of the least used stations on the network. The station closed in July 2015 when the rest of the Western Line switched to being operated by the new AM Class electric trains, and the former rail service was replaced with a bus service between Waitakere and Swanson.

Swanson railway station

Swanson railway station is a station on the North Auckland Line in Auckland, New Zealand.

Western Line services of the Auckland rail network are operated between the station and Waitematā in central Auckland by Auckland One Rail, on behalf of Auckland Transport.

The station is the westernmost and northernmost point of the city's electrified network. It became the terminus of the Western Line in July 2015, when urban train services to Waitakere station ceased because the Waitakere-Swanson section of track was not electrified. A bus shuttle service operates between Waitakere and Swanson stations.

The current station building was relocated from Avondale railway station following an upgrade there.

History

 * 1881: The station opened on 18 July.
 * 1920: A signal box was built.

Beauty Was a Tiger

Beauty Was a Tiger is the debut solo album by Australian singer Sarah McLeod. It was released in September 2005 by Festival Mushroom Records and peaked at number 31 on the ARIA Charts.

Background and release
From 1994 to 2004, McLeod was the lead singer of rock group The Superjesus. The group released three top twenty studio albums and won two ARIA Awards. On 18 April 2005, it was announced McLeod had signed with Festival Mushroom Records to release her debut solo studio album. The deal reunited McLeod with Festival Mushroom Records managing director Michael Parisi who had signed The Superjesus to Warner Music Australia a decade earlier when he was A&R Director for Warner. Parisi said "She has made a classy rock album and, above all else, there aren't many ladies of rock left in this world, let alone Australia. We're all chomping at the bit to get this album out there."

The album was released in September 2005.

Reception
Erik Jensen from The Sydney Morning Herald said "it's an album that veers between Australian pub fare and neo-Gothic rock'n'roll, like mixing Dallas Crane with Brisbane fem-rockers Gazoonga Attack. McLeod's voice is strong and raw and makes "Private School Kid" the album standout."

Henderson railway station

Henderson railway station is a major station on the Western Line of the Auckland railway network in New Zealand. It is located near the town centre of Henderson, the western administration offices of Auckland Council, and a major shopping centre, WestCity Waitakere.

History
The station was opened on 2 October 1880 for goods and on 21 December 1880 for all services including passengers.

Built as one of the stations for the railway line connecting Auckland with Helensville, that old station comprised two timber buildings and a long platform. In 1912 it was added another building with a post office and a canopy, and the platform was extended. Another reorganisation and extension of the station happened in 1925, although the previous layout was little modified.

It was functioning as both a railway station and post office until 1987. It reopened as a cafe in 1993, then a furniture store until 2000.

This old station was registered in 2004 by Heritage New Zealand as a Category 2 Historic Place.

Major upgrade
A major upgrade of the station was completed on 24 October 2006. The new station opened on 2 November 2006, 125 years after the railway first reached Henderson. It has an island platform. Stairs and escalators, enclosed in transparent panels, connect to an overhead walkway that connects to the council's office buildings and to the adjacent Railside Avenue.

In 21 August 2010 a "Distributed Stabling Facility" was opened because locals objected to the proposal to open the facility at Ranui railway station. ARTA had proposed it as part of the upgrading of the network, to store up to 11 trains and to clean trains when out of service; with staff car parking and welfare facilities.

Station name
It was proposed that the station be renamed Waitakere Central when it was upgraded because it was integrated with the then Waitakere City Council's new Civic Building. There were objections that there would be confusion with Waitakere railway station, also on the Western Line. Due to opposition to the name change, the station has Waitakere Central only as a subtitle. In practice, the station is never referred to by the name but the council uses it to refer to its premises, directly above the platforms.

Services
Auckland One Rail, on behalf of Auckland Transport, operates suburban train services between Swanson and Waitematā.

Bus routes 13, 14, 120, 135, 143, 145, 147, 152, 154, 162, 022 (Schools) and 050 (Schools) arrive and depart from the transport interchange on Railside Avenue.

New Lynn railway station

New Lynn railway station is on the Western Line of the Auckland railway network, New Zealand, and is part of an integrated transport centre where transfers can be made to and from bus services. A redeveloped station in a new rail trench was opened on 25 September 2010. LynnMall, a major shopping mall, is close by.

History

 * 1880, March: Opens as one of the original stations on the North Auckland Line.
 * 1983, March: The Auckland Regional Authority decides to relocate the station east, to the other side of the Rankin Avenue-Totara Avenue-Clark Street road intersection and adjacent to the bus station, despite the uncertain future of Auckland suburban services.
 * 1987, August: The old station building is demolished after vandals broke in and damaged it.
 * 2006, December: Double-tracking between New Lynn and Avondale is approved by the central government; the $120 million package includes a 1 km long, 8m deep trench to carry the tracks, and a new station with below-ground platforms. Trenching the tracks means that they will no longer pass directly through the Rankin Avenue-Totara Avenue-Clark Street road intersection, removing a source of traffic congestion and the potential for collisions.
 * 2008, March: The station platform is demolished and a temporary platform constructed to make way for the rail trench earthworks.
 * 2010, 1 March: Trains begin running in the trench on a single track.
 * 2010, 29 April: The first steam train runs in the trench, Ja 1275 on the Northlander to Whangārei.
 * 2010, 8 June: Trains begin running through the trench on two tracks, completing the Western Line Double Tracking Project.
 * 2010, 24 September: The station is officially opened by the Governor-General Sir Anand Satyanand.
 * 2012, April–June: The station shelters are transformed and a glass encased stairwell shelter is put into place due to high patronage use.

Rail trench
In the late 2000s, local and regional government, as part of the revitalising of the regional rail commuter network, decided to build a new "feature station" at New Lynn, which included sinking the tracks and station into a trench. Road was grade-separated from rail to enable vehicle traffic to pass over the line. Before the trenching works, the level crossings in the town centre were often blocked by passing trains, leading to substantial road congestion, which would have only increased with more train services.

The new rail trench and associated sunken station were to be constructed with up to 16m deep diaphragm walls using specially imported cranes and specialists. This was required due to the unstable, water-logged soils and the need to avoid settlement damage to close by buildings. The procedure to construct the 1 km of trench (with finished depth of up to 8m) involved multiple temporary shifts of the railway line and of various associated roads, and was called the most difficult part of the DART railway development programme in Auckland. Wet ground conditions had also forced a redesign of the trench methods, and delayed the project start by six months.

Services
Bus routes 14, 18, 22N, 24B, 24R, 68, 191, 149, 152, 154, 161, 162, 170, 171, 172, 186, 195 and 670 travel to the bus-train interchange at New Lynn, directly adjacent to the station.

Leaky feeder

A leaky feeder is a communications system used in underground mining and other tunnel environments. Manufacturers and cabling professionals use the term "radiating cable"  as this implies that the cable is designed to radiate: something that coaxial cable is not generally supposed to do.

Principle
A leaky feeder communication system consists of a cable run along tunnels which emits and receives radio waves, functioning as an extended antenna. The cable is "leaky" in that it has gaps or slots in its outer conductor to allow the radio signal to leak into or out of the cable along its entire length. Because of this leakage of signal, line amplifiers are required to be inserted at regular intervals, typically every 350 to 500 metres, to boost the signal back up to acceptable levels. The signal is usually picked up by portable transceivers carried by personnel. Transmissions from the transceivers are picked up by the feeder and carried to other parts of the tunnel, allowing two-way radio communication throughout the tunnel system.

The system has a limited range and because of the frequency it uses (typically VHF or UHF), transmissions cannot pass through solid rock, which limits the system to a line-of-sight application. It does, however, allow two-way mobile communication.

Due to the signal loss along the feeder, a leaky feeder is usually used for frequencies under 1 GHz. Above that frequency the losses require too many repeaters, thus making other options more effective. Antennae (omni, panel or bi-directional) or even distributed antenna systems are more often used for higher frequency bands.

Mining
Leaky feeders are used in the mining industry as a method of wireless communication between miners. The system is used as a primary communication system which has a transceiver small enough to be comfortably worn on a miner throughout an entire shift.

Underground railways
The leaky feeder system is used for underground mobile communication in mass transit railways. In the Delhi Metro, rail transport systems of Hong Kong, and the Copenhagen Metro (Danish: CityRingen), leaky feeders were incorporated in the specification of the capital project and installed during construction. This gives emergency services seamless mobile communication from the underground to the surface.

London Underground uses a leaky feeder system for its internal communication network Connect. However, the communication used by the emergency services, Airwave, was not compatible and did not work below ground. The fact that this situation continued to exist after the 1987 King's Cross fire was criticised in the reports from the 7 July 2005 London bombings, where it hampered rescue efforts. In March 2020, two additional leaky feeder cables were brought online in the Jubilee line tunnels between Canning Town and Westminster. One of these cables provided commercial 4G coverage for passengers, both in the tunnels and on station platforms, whilst the second cable provided coverage for the Home Office's Emergency Services Network (ESN), which is currently being rolled out to replace the ageing Airwave network. This trial section is the first to be brought online as part of a project to provide both commercial 4G coverage and ESN coverage across the entire Tube network.

Tyne and Wear Metro was the first railway in the UK to use leaky feeder cables for public mobile phone connectivity, in its city-centre underground tunnels. Initially this was a 2G signal, but then mobile operator EE upgraded this to 4G for their customers. As of 2023, operator Nexus are planning a comprehensive upgrade to mobile data coverage, including in the tunnels.

An alternative to using leaky feeder in underground railways is to use Distributed Antenna System (DAS). A DAS system was deployed in some New York City Subway stations by Transit Wireless to provide Wi‑Fi and mobile phone and data coverage for customers.

In-flight wireless networks
Leaky feeder antenna system can also be used to allow use of on-board cellular phones and Wi‑Fi on passenger aircraft. The weight and space requirements of leaky feeder systems are usually lower than comparable antenna systems, thus saving space and fuel. The even field strengths produced by runs of leaky feeders spanning the entire fuselage improve coverage while requiring less transmitting power.

Industrial buildings
Leaky feeders are used in hotels, warehouses and other industrial buildings where it is difficult to get Wi‑Fi coverage using normal access points. Some installations have 50–75 meters of leaky wire connected to the antenna output of each access point.

RFID
A leaky feeder modified with metallic strips can be used as a radio-frequency identification (RFID) antenna.

Halberstam

Halberstam (, ) is a Jewish surname, used by several branches of the Halberstadt family.

Halberstam, meaningless in its current form, is altered from an older name, Halberstadt, used by many descendants of Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh (died 1748), the rabbi of Halberstadt.

The change of Halberstadt to Halberstam is often thought to have been implemented by Rabbi Chaim Halberstam of Sanz (Nowy Sącz), as implied by Rabbi Yechezkel Michelsohn of Płońsk, in his biography of Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh Halberstadt and his descendants, who records the rabbi of Sanz's displeasure at bearing the name of a non-Jewish settlement as his motive. However, even first and second cousins of the rabbi of Sanz are known to have borne the modified name, implying that the change was made at least two generations before him. Joseph Kwadrat believes that Halberstadt was modified to Halberstam (or, in one branch, to Halberthal) by members of the family then residing in Galicia to conform with the surname adoption laws of the Austrian Empire.

Notable people with the surname

 * Ari Halberstam (1977–1994), Yeshiva student killed in the 1994 Brooklyn Bridge shooting
 * Ben Zion Halberstam (1874–1941), Grand Rebbe of Bobov (1905–1941)
 * Ben Zion Aryeh Leibish Halberstam (born 1954), Bobover Rebbe
 * Chaim Halberstam (1793–1876), of Sanz, founder of the Sanz dynasty. Known commonly as the Divrei Chaim
 * Chaim Halberstam, descendant of the 'Divrei Chaim' of Sanz, Congregational Rabbi and clinical psychologist
 * David Halberstam (1934–2007), American journalist and author
 * David J. Halberstam (born 1951), American sports announcer
 * Devorah Halberstam, American anti-terrorism and gun control activist
 * Dovid Halberstam (1821–1894), founder of the Chrzanow Hasidic dynasty
 * Heini Halberstam (1926–2014), mathematician, Elliott–Halberstam conjecture is named
 * Judith Halberstam (born 1961), Professor of English and Director of The Center for Feminist Research at University of Southern California
 * Michael J. Halberstam (1932–1980), American cardiologist and author
 * Moshe Halberstam (1932–2006), member of the Edah Charedis Rabbinical court of Jerusalem
 * Naftali Halberstam (1931–2005), Grand Rebbe of Bobov (2000–2005)
 * Samuel David Halberstam, Klausenberg Rebbe of Borough Park, Brooklyn
 * Shlomo Halberstam (first Bobover rebbe) (1847–1905), founder of the Bobov Hasidic dynasty
 * Shlomo Halberstam (third Bobover rebbe) (1907–2000), Grand Rebbe of Bobov (1941–2000)
 * Solomon Joachim Halberstam (1832–1900), Austrian Jewish scholar
 * Yechezkel Shraga Halberstam (1813–1899), Polish rabbi
 * Yekusiel Yehudah Halberstam (1905–1994), Orthodox rabbi and founding rebbe of the Klausenberger dynasty

Previosly we said in the first two sentences:

I rewrote that in one sentence:
 * Sarah Bear Elizabeth Wishnevsky (born September 22, 1971) is an American author who works primarily in speculative fiction genres, writing under the name Elizabeth Bear.

Does she write exclusively as Elizabeth Bear? Or write in other genres (inclg journalism, etc) under her real name? All of her works in ISFDB are listed under the name Bear, but its scope is speculative fiction, so it only covers what we have said and now say. If she writes/authors only as Bear, we should move the pseudonym up, such as "Sarah (born 1971), who writes as Bear". --P64 (talk) 16:47, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Lostwood Wilderness

Lostwood Wilderness is a wilderness area located in the U.S. state of North Dakota. Created by an act of Congress in 1975, the wilderness covers an area of 5,577 acres (22.56 km2). Contained within Lostwood National Wildlife Refuge, the wilderness is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Designated to preserve a region well known for numerous lakes and mixed grass prairie, the wilderness ensures that the finest duck and waterfowl breeding region in North America remains wild and unimproved.

U.S. Wilderness Areas do not allow motorized or mechanized vehicles, including bicycles. Although camping and fishing are usually allowed with a proper permit, no roads or buildings are constructed and there is also no logging or mining, in compliance with the 1964 Wilderness Act. Wilderness areas within National Forests and Bureau of Land Management areas also allow hunting in season.

Afterwards, only powers of 10 (from 1 up to 1010, higher than that only if they have a standard word name and commonly used SI prefix) and numbers with some remarkable mathematical property. --Gaff talk 00:05, 15 October 2005 (UTC) Changing my mind (again). Keep it. Its a nice looking article with some interesting information. (sorry for my waffling).--Gaff talk 00:07, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete as per nom. --Dvyost 06:01, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 300 (number) in accordance to WikiProject Numbers policy -- Egil 07:07, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * WikiProject Numbers actually says no such thing, as explained in Articles for deletion/427 (number). Uncle G 12:39, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * A redirect to 300 is clumsy and dishonest. If, for some reason I can not imagine, I wanted to go to an article about 363 or see if we had one and instead I was just dropped off at 300 with no explanation, I would be utterly confused. Qaz  ( talk ) 14:11, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Why? Did you check the 300 page? It does indeed mention 363. Go to the WikiProject Numbers talk page to discuss. -- Egil 14:16, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I did go to the 300 page and I did not see it. If I just missed it I apologize. Qaz  ( talk ) 08:55, 11 October 2005 (UTC)*
 * It is located between three hundred and sixty two and three hundred and sixty four. Hope that helps. -- Egil 09:26, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * If I type Paul Erdos and I get redirected, that tells me I misspelled his name. But if I went through the trouble of typing "363 (number)" I would expect to either see a page about 363 or a page saying "No article about this topic." PrimeFan 18:16, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment — I believe that the WikiProject Numbers policy does actually recommend grouping in 100s after about 200. At any rate, there are a pair of pages that have ranges of integers up to 1000: Table of prime factors and Table of divisors. Would it make sense to go through all the unresolved links and make them redirects to the appropriate 100s pages? — RJH 15:25, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * WHat unbreslved links? Rich Farmbrough 02:02, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * THe policy is to start with range pages and allow number to "grow"- if they are big enough they can be split off. Rich Farmbrough 02:33, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete sigh Another Random Number --JAranda | yeah 00:22, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Presently, there is only one interesting things to say about the number, WikiProject Numbers requires at least three interesting or one tremendously remarkable (i.e., odd perfect number). PrimeFan 18:16, 11 October 2005 (UTC) This number being on the Rhind papyrus sounds interesting, I would like to see that elaborated. But the facts that depend on either the metric system or the Imperial system probably don't need to be listed in this article. For the time being, I'm voting neutral. PrimeFan 21:07, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. If 427 (above) can be speedied, what makes this different?  If not, then delete. PacknCanes 22:47, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 427 should not have been speedied. Rich Farmbrough 01:51, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Real number Klonimus 02:44, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete . Nothing interesting. I doubt a redirect is useful. Jitse Niesen (talk) 17:05, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Abstain for the moment until I have time to assess Rich's work. It does have lots of information added, so I'd urge everyone to take a new look at the article. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 12:10, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Some of the items listed on the article are far-fetched, but alltogether, keeping in mind that it may expand further, perhaps enough can be said about this number to make a small article. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 23:33, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete article essentially reiterates its title. Chick Bowen 23:09, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I have improved the article somewhat. Rich Farmbrough 09:52, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Mount Albert railway station

Mount Albert railway station is in the suburb of Mount Albert on the Western Line of the Auckland railway network in New Zealand, near Unitec, a local tertiary education provider, and is popular with Unitec students. It has an island platform and is reached by a footbridge from Carrington Road at the northern end, an overbridge from New North Road on the eastern side, and a subway that runs between Willcott Street and New North Road at the southern end.

History

 * 1880: Opened as one of the original stations on the North Auckland Line.
 * 1908: A signal box was added.
 * 1909: A new station building was built, after the previous one was destroyed by fire.
 * 1920s: A siding to Mount Albert Quarry from the station is closed.
 * 1966: The line was double-tracked and much of the station's infrastructure (including the signal box) was removed. The signal box is preserved at MOTAT.
 * 2010: Significant discussion, including during the run-up to the local body elections, considered the station (and especially its access-ways and weather shelters) as dilapidated and in need of renewal. Also particularly criticised were the run-down shop rear areas fronting the railway station from the New North Road side. A former Auckland City councilor suggested that a green wall would offer an option to hide these unsightly areas behind low-cost, low-maintenance planting.
 * 2013: The station was upgraded as part of a 2-stage Auckland Transport programme in anticipation of the Auckland railway electrification project. The $9 million upgrade, which included an overhead covered walkway from Carrington Road, new passenger shelters, and other enhancements, was ceremonially opened in July 2013. The second stage, which was to include a $1.23 million overbridge walkway to New North Road, was scheduled to be completed by August 2016.
 * 2016: The overbridge, connecting the station directly to the pedestrian precinct of the Mount Albert shopping area, was opened on 17 September 2016.

Services
A number of bus services pass this station, allowing easy transfer, although there are no signs or information provided at the station. These include routes 22N, 22R, 66, 209 and the Outer Link.
