Optimus Prime (person)
Not notable except for naming himself after Optimus Prime, the fictional robot. I don't understand how this survived an October 2004 vote at Votes for deletion/Optimus Prime (person).--Pharos 23:31, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Perhaps because a lot of people don't consider "notability" to be a major factor in whether something's worthy of having an article about it in an encyclopedia, or disagree with your assessment of this person's notability? There are articles on Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 and Jennifer 8. Lee solely on account of their unusual names, for example, so this article isn't some aberration. I personally happen to think it's noteworthy that someone named Optimus Prime fought in Iraq. Bryan 23:36, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Jennifer 8. Lee writes for the New York Times. The naming of Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 was at least a protest against Swedish naming laws.  Someone like Adolf Lu Hitler Marak is a notable Indiian politician.  That Optimus Prime (the person) fought in Iraq doesn't I think make him any more notable than hundreds of thousands of others who have.--Pharos 23:45, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * No, but the fact that he's named Optimus Prime makes him more notable than hundreds of thousands of others who have. Why can't someone be notable because of their name? You've already granted Brf...116 a pass in that regard, and Jennifer 8. Lee's notability as a Times writer doesn't appear to be the reason why the article was written either considering how much of it's focused solely on her name - there's as much about her job in her article as there is about Prime's job in his article. I don't see why the fact that the name was self-chosen in Prime's case would make a difference. Bryan 07:23, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I could easily go down to the local courthouse tomorrow and legally change my name to Godzilla. Then, presumably, would I merit an article carefully disambiguated at Godzilla (person)?--Pharos 19:01, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Sure, why not? Seriously, I don't see why not. You'd have done something fairly interesting. Bryan 19:57, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per User:Pharos's previous comment. -Nameneko 01:43, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * keep as per Bryan Roodog2k (talk) 01:46, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. An unusual name is not an encyclopedic claim to notability, and this article is wholly unexpandable. If this person name has been a new story outside of his hometown, a sentence about him might be appropriate for Optimus Prime. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 08:36, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * There are already a couple of sentences at the bottom of Optimus Prime.--Pharos 19:01, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Please delete this time. This reminds me of the saying about changing your name to "TV Listings" to get in the paper...--MacRusgail 13:19, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per A Man In Black. --GraemeL (talk) 14:02, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as an unusual article about a borderline notable subject. [ edit ] 20:37, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Optimus Prime. Interesting, but hardly merits a separate article.  Ilmari Karonen 21:58, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep does no harm at all. Dmn  €  Դմն 23:10, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 06:23, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Bryan as well as its initial VfD survival. --Badlydrawnjeff 14:32, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * keep just like last time and please do not merge it that would not make any sense Yuckfoo 14:35, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. I'm really strained to consider all of these keep votes as serious.  Should I really advise the writer of the next vanity article that comes up here to just adopt an unusual name, as this simple measure will guarantee their notability?--Pharos 15:18, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * At the very least, assume good faith. My vote is based mostly around the fact that it's already survived the VfD process, but I do believe he's notable enough to warrant an article and would have voted keep then, too. --Badlydrawnjeff 15:22, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm trying to assume full good faith, but I just don't see any reasonable basis being given as to why he is notable. Surely you realize there are probably thousands of people with names just as unusual as "Optimus Prime"; Mr. Prime just happens to be one of a few who've received mention in their local newspaper.--Pharos 15:47, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm sure there is a pretty large number of people who change their names to something a bit bizarre. If they recieve media attention and/or do something a little out of the ordinary (this guy, for instance, was deployed in Iraq and his military ID also reflects his new name, which is fascinating), I'll vote to keep them every time.  If I have a kid and decide to name him Captain Underpants, he's not going to be notable until there's a reason to notice him, such as a newspaper article or something he does.  I don't know if there is a standard in place for bizarre names, but given the nature of WP, I have no problem with using that threshold personally. --Badlydrawnjeff 16:01, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Even if someone does something just to become notable, that doesn't prevent them from becoming notable for doing it.  This person has found a unique way to become more interesting and notable than the average National Guardsman.  "Optimus Prime comes home from Iraq."  I love it.  This article is surely a quirky, but real improvement to Wikipedia.   Un  focused  17:00, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as this is an article about a member of the National Guard with a notably unusual and bizarre namewho has received ample press coverage, and is duly noted at Unusual_articles. Hall Monitor 18:53, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Optimus Prime.  "Optimus Prime" (toy) is notable, and the fact that someone chose to name himself after it is an interesting fact about the toy. The person is not notable at all. --Austrian 18:56, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It actually got merged into that article for a while after the first VfD. However, the merged material didn't fit very well and wound up pared down to the snippet that's currently in the "see also" section so the person-stuff was split off into its own article again. I suspect the same would happen now, the Optimus Prime article is even bigger than it was back then. Besides, how would the merged article be categorized? Bryan 23:40, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as a standalone article. How many other people named after Transformers can one find in any country's military?  This article is one of the many cool things I've learned about since reading Unusual articles a while back. --Idont Havaname 00:56, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * comment IMHO, the fact that the guy changed his name to Optimus Prime DOES make the guy notable enough for inclusion. Its cheesy notability. Roodog2k  (Hello there!) 09:56, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep: quickly checking WP:NOT, this article might conceivably come under the category of "genealogical entry, or phonebook entry": One measure of achievement is whether someone has been featured in several external sources (on or off-line). Well, he's managed that. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 16:08, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2005-10-03/ArbCom election

This week, the Wikipedia Signpost examines the role of the ArbCom and the functions of the committee.

The Wikipedia Arbitration Committee is the last step in the dispute resolution process, hearing cases ranging from charges of administrative power abuse to point-of-view pushing. The Committee, consisting of 12 respected Wikipedians appointed by Jimbo guided by annual elections, has the authority to dole out remedies, including permanently banning users, and is the only committee, aside from Jimbo, that can punish users for anything other than simple vandalism.

The process begins when one or more parties makes a Request for Arbitration. Under the Arbitration policy, anyone can file a RfAr. After doing so, the initiating party must contact all involved persons, informing them of the pending Arbitration case. Next, the initiating party must either demonstrate that previous steps under the dispute resolution, such as requests for comments and mediation, have been tried and failed, or prove that those steps would be futile. Finally, a brief summary of the dispute must be provided; each party has the right to give his/her own summary. While the statement is officially limited to 500 words, it is not always strictly enforced; parties have been known to give far longer statements without any consequences.

Following the filing of the request, Arbitrators then decide whether to hear the case or not. Each Arbitrator can either accept, reject, abstain, or recuse themselves from the case. Four accept votes are required in order to hear the case; after the fourth vote is collected, a minimum of 24 hours will have to pass before the case is accepted.

After a case has been accepted, the process moves on to the evidence collecting stage. Anyone, not just the involved parties, may collect evidence in the forms of diffs. If any evidence or claim is contested, counter-evidence must be provided.

During this period, a workshop for each case is created. The workshop serves as the place where the evidence is analyzed, and proposed findings of facts and principles are discussed. At this point, either party or the Arbitrators may motion for a temporary injunction, which are binding decisions in effect until the closure of the Arbitration case. In addition, the Arbitrators propose and discuss principles, finding of facts regarding the actions of the user in question, remedies, such as probation or banning, and the appropriate enforcement. In addition, the evidence is analyzed and discussed. Both the involved parties and Arbitrators can participate in commenting on the evidence and proposals; however, the comments are divided into sections for Arbitrators, involved parties, and other non-involved parties.

After the discussion at the workshop, the case proceeds to the voting by Arbitrators. Each proposal discussed during the workshop stage is voted upon; a simple majority of votes by active, non-recused Arbitrators is required to pass the proposal. Following the vote and an unspecified period of time, Arbitrators must motion to close the case. Four net support votes to close the case are required to close the Arbitration case; each oppose vote discounts one support vote. A case cannot be closed until a minimum of 24 hours after the first support vote by an Arbitrator.

After the motion is passed, the Arbitration case is closed. The remedies and enforcement take place, and an announcement is usually made at the administrators' noticeboard. Once a case is closed, the case cannot be appealed to the Arbitration Committee; all appeals must go directly to Jimbo.

Next week — Criticism of Arbitration Committee

Talk:Wired Equivalent Privacy

IEEE Reference
The fact that you have to pay for access to the reference, lessens its value as a reference and I think should be changed in favour of some other source. 178.167.236.5 (talk) 22:30, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Crack WEP in x minutes
The article mentions that a WEP key can be broken in 10, two minutes or less and quotes the FBI breaking WEP in 3minutes. I guess the speed at which WEP can be broken is dependent on the number of packets that are captured, thus it makes more sense to define how many megabytes of data need to be captured to enable an attack? It should then be discussed how quickly this much traffic can be accumulated. Breaking WEP in an office environment, where there are a hundred users should be quicker than a home network, where there is a single user.

EXTRACT: ''In August 2001, Scott Fluhrer, Itsik Mantin, and Adi Shamir published a cryptanalysis of WEP that exploits the way the RC4 cipher and IV is used in WEP, resulting in a passive attack that can recover the RC4 key after eavesdropping on the network. Depending on the amount of network traffic, and thus the number of packets available for inspection, a successful key recovery could take as little as 10 minutes. If an insufficient number of packets are being sent, there are ways for an attacker to send packets on the network and thereby stimulate reply packets which can then be inspected to find the key. The attack was soon implemented, and automated tools have since been released. It is possible to perform the attack with a personal computer, off-the-shelf hardware and freely available software such as aircrack-ng and crack any WEP key in two minutes or less.''--Bah23 13:54, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

 * The newer techniques demonstrated by the FBI can stimulate the needed network traffic and do not depend on how busy the network is. See --agr 14:31, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

 * From the excerpt you (Bah23) just provided: "If an insufficient number of packets are being sent, there are ways for an attacker to send packets on the network and thereby stimulate reply packets which can then be inspected to find the key."
 * So ditto agr, an attacker is able to simulate traffic on a WEP-protected network even if they do not know the key. -- intgr 14:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

10 minutes, or even two minutes is for a novice without much experience. I have cracked 64 WEP as part of a security demo in under a minute and a half. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.200.33.94 (talk) 22:44, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Paper preceding Fluhrer/Martin/Shamir
The article doesn't mention the paper Unsafe at any key size; An analysis of the WEP encapsulation submitted to the IEEE 802.11 working group (?) by Jesse Walker. The paper seems to predate the Fluhrer/Martin/Shamir attack (Oct 2000 vs. 2001) and claims to describe easily implemented, practical attacks against WEP that succeed regardless of the key size or the cipher. Can anybody familiar with this literature judge the merits of this? Grr82 (talk) 05:00, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Neutrality
Although it may be true, it doesn't look appropriate to begin the article with a statement about WEP's inadequacies. The page is written as though the author has a particular dislike of the subject, and should be presented with a more matter-of-fact tone. 207.224.78.217 (talk) 06:42, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

I think it should mention more about their properties but not removed the ads on its uncertainty.--PhoneixS (talk) 09:38, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

I don't find the article to be not-neutral. It begins with a statement of facts - that WEP is a deprecated standard, and that it is susceptible to eavesdropping. These are both widely-accepted facts that are essential characteristics of WEP. How is this not neutral? Would it be wrong to start an article on Whale Oil by saying it was a popular source of fuel that is no longer used because it involved killing endangered species? I would like to remove the question about balance / neutrality. Does anyone disagree? Ericcoll (talk) 22:21, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I thought exactly the same as the original user above. OBVIOUSLY the 'Flaws' of WEP need to be discussed but I'm not sure the opening paragraph is the place to do it: Wikipedia covers many other, far less secure, methods of 'encryption' (ROT13, Caesar Cipher) without taking shots at the algorythms' insecurities. Notably, in the latter example, the "Breaking the Cipher" section (analogus to the WEP article's "Flaws" section) is brought up toward the end of the article. Basically, I think we all agree that Wikipedia should be about facts about the algorythm's design, working and intention, not focussing on the problems and weaknesses of WEP. To put it another way, any encryoption algoryhm (with the exception of a OTP) may be vulnerable to attacks we hadn't considered: vulnerability has to be a different section from content. Apropos to which, I've rewritten the opening paragraphs to be more neutral while still leaving factual material present, e.g. that the algorythm is officially deprecated. --Christopher (talk) 03:02, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Generally agreed, especuially with the more harsh criticisms you removed. But I restored some of the detail about being superseded by WPA and the IEEE referring to it is deprecated. Seems germane. --Errant (chat!) 09:51, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I think you're right there (possibly I went a bit far in redacting). I'm glad the relevant detail isn't in the first paragraph anymore, save for the word 'deprecated'. --Christopher (talk) 11:22, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I removed that word, missed it first time :) You're right, there is no real substance to defining it as deprecated as the third word of the article :P --Errant (chat!) 11:29, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

The name
I think the alternative name(s) need to be clarified. I have always known this as WEP with properly knowing what the name actually is. However I have seen/heard "wired" and "wireless" both used for the "W", seen/heard both "equivalent" and "encryption" used for the "E", and only seen "protocol" for the "P" (until I found this article). Perhaps a section on this should be added listing the other seven combinations: Astronaut (talk) 12:43, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Wired Equivalent Protocol
 * Wired Encryption Privacy
 * Wired Encryption Protocol
 * Wireless Equivalent Privacy
 * Wireless Equivalent Protocol
 * Wireless Encryption Privacy
 * Wireless Encryption Protocol

Usage by Nintendo
Is it worth mentioning Nintendo's use of WEP for Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection? The newer Nintendo DSi can connect to the internet using WPA security, but the older Nintendo DS and many games even on the DSi require use of WEP. The recently released Pokemon Black and White games require WEP-based security in order to enable the "mystery gift" that can be downloaded to the game. From the Nintendo support page -- "Nintendo DS games with online play still require the use of WEP or no security to connect with the Nintendo WFC."

Encouraging home users to cripple or entirely disable their wireless security seems irresponsible. Thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yggyk (talk • contribs) 03:28, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Use of the word buddy
"The access point can then be used to decrypt these packets and relay them on to a buddy on the Internet, allowing real-time decryption of WEP traffic within a minute of eavesdropping the first packet."

Is "Buddy" a technical term? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hazmog (talk • contribs) 09:39, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Hello, 12 years after your question I can report that it probably refers to the buddy-ng tool from the aircrack-ng suite, a kind of "companion" tool to easside-ng that performs some actions on a WEP access point: not the clearest term out of context. I am currently working on that page and may do some work on it when I have more time. Kind regards, IrrationalBeing (talk) 21:42, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello everyone, I am currently working on the aircrack-ng page, which includes a history of WEP. When I am done, I will move to this page, which may benefit from a rewrite. In the meantime, if anyone wants to import some data from the aircrack-ng article, feel free. I took care of linking (mostly) academic sources and am also working on a timeline.

John Jarratt

John Jarratt (born 5 August 1951 ) is an Australian television film actor, producer and director and TV presenter who rose to fame through his work in the Australian New Wave. He has appeared in a number of film roles including Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), Summer City (1977), The Odd Angry Shot (1979), We of the Never Never (1982), Next of Kin (1982), and Dark Age (1987). He portrayed the antagonist Mick Taylor in the Wolf Creek franchise. He voiced the protagonist's father, Jack Hunter, in an audio drama adaptation of The Phoenix Files. He is also known for his recurring role in the drama series McLeod's Daughters.

Early life
Jarratt was born in what was then a small coal-mining village, now the Wollongong suburb of Wongawilli, New South Wales, where he would grow up, before the family later moved to the Snowy Mountains area. His father was a coal miner, and later a concreter working on the Snowy Mountains Scheme. Jarratt comes from a family of Irish Catholic descent; however, his patrilineal ancestor George Jarratt, born 1833, came from Croxton in Cambridgeshire, England. George's son John married Mary Kelly from Ireland. On the genealogy show Who Do You Think You Are?, Jarratt confirmed that his great-great-grandfather was Chinese.

While in high school, Jarratt directed and acted in a school play which was a great success and led to his school principal recommending that he pursue an acting career. As a young boy, he enjoyed recreational activities such as knitting and sewing. His favourite thing to make was scarves for his school peers.

Early work
Jarratt graduated from the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in 1973. His screen debut was in The Great Macarthy (1975). He also appeared in Peter Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) and Summer City (1977) with Mel Gibson. Jarratt had the lead role in the 1979 miniseries The Last Outlaw playing Ned Kelly. He played a major supporting role as a young Australian soldier in Vietnam War movie The Odd Angry Shot (1980) and We of the Never Never (1982). In the late 1980s, Jarratt recognised he had a problem with binge-drinking and related violence. He joined Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), an organisation in which he continues to be active.

Television
In the 1990s, Jarratt was a presenter on the lifestyle show Better Homes and Gardens with then-wife Noni Hazlehurst. He had guest roles in Inspector Morse, Police Rescue, Blue Murder, Water Rats and Blue Heelers in the 1990s and 2000s. He joined the cast of McLeod's Daughters in 2001, and left the show in 2006. In 2010, Jarratt appeared in a commercial for Husqvarna, where he proved the tools' efficiency by playing his character in Wolf Creek.

In May 2013, Jarratt filmed a guest star role in the third instalment of the ABC telemovie series, Jack Irish: Dead Point.

In 2016 and 17, Jarratt was working on the Wolf Creek TV series, reprising his role of Mick Taylor from the 2 movies.

Return to cinema
In 2005, Jarratt had a major role in the Australian film Wolf Creek, playing the villain Mick Taylor. In 2007, he appeared in two films, Rogue and The Final Winter. Jarratt also had a small role in the 2008 film, Australia, as a soldier.

In 2008, Jarratt launched his own film production company, Winnah Films. Winnah's first feature film, Savages Crossing (originally carrying the working title Flood) went into principal photography outside Ipswich, Queensland in February. In 2009, he appears as the father of a teenage girl via phone in Telstra's "Next G" commercials.

In 2010, Jarratt starred in the ensemble exploitation extravaganza, Bad Behaviour, written and directed by Joseph Sims. In the same year, Jarratt also had a role in the supernatural horror movie Needle.

He made a cameo in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained in 2012, appearing as an employee of the Le Quint Dickie Mining Company alongside Tarantino himself, both appearing with Australian accents.

In February 2013, Jarratt reprised his role as Mick Taylor, filming the Wolf Creek sequel, Wolf Creek 2, with Matt Hearn producing and Greg McLean directing. The film was released on 20 February 2014

In January 2014, Jarratt starred in, and co-directed romantic comedy thriller StalkHer, the film met with mixed reviews.

As of 2022, Jarratt is working on Wolf Creek 3, again playing the psychopathic Mick Taylor.

Other work
Jarratt returned to audio drama work, after working for the ABC in the 1970s to co-star in Benjamin Maio Mackay's adaptation of The Phoenix Files in 2017. The first two instalments were released across 2017 and 2018, but as of August 26 Jarratt is no longer listed as being involved with the project.

Personal life
Jarratt has been married four times. First to Rosa Miano, then to actress Noni Hazlehurst, then Jody Jarratt, and again to Rosa Miano. His children with his second wife, Noni, are all named after characters Jarratt has portrayed in his films. In his spare time, he enjoys collecting bones on his farm in Wollongong.

On 1 October 2015, Jarratt released his autobiography, The Bastard from the Bush.

Legal issues
In August 2007, Jarratt filed a lawsuit against the Seven Network over a story which ran on the current affairs show Today Tonight. He claimed the story defamed him. The story told of Jarratt in a dispute with his tenant and how he had made attempts to intimidate and evict the tenant. The story accused Jarratt of echoing his character Mick Taylor from the film Wolf Creek in his intimidation, described an answering machine message left by him to his tenant saying "I have always been a winner—a winner". A lawyer for Seven told the court that the story had not portrayed Jarratt as a "psychopathic killer". The case was adjourned until 12 October 2007.

On 25 August 2018, Jarratt was charged with rape after a woman came forward to report an alleged incident in 1976. Jarratt pleaded not guilty. After a five-day trial, he was found not guilty on 5 July 2019. After his acquittal, Jarratt launched a lawsuit against The Daily Telegraph over their reporting of his case. He dropped the case after a month, but then restarted it after the Telegraph posted an article saying that he "got away with rape". The suit was settled out of court on 22 December 2019, with the Telegraph posting an apology on its website.

Talk:Traffic circles in New Jersey

Untitled
From the article:

 * This is a list of all traffic circles that have ever existed in New Jersey.

 * This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

So, is it complete or not?

-Tabor 23:35, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

The goal is a complete list. It is not yet there. Further circles are listed as remarks by location; these either are unnamed or the original editor did not know their names. TCC (talk) (contribs) 23:49, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

— J I P | Talk 10:56, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Are my entries really "traffic circles"?
I have been adding a few "traffic circles" (I think 4 as of now) that I recently thought of as "traffic circles," meaning I had never thought of them as traffic circles until recently. I figured I'd add them to the article and that the accompanying images would help others verify them as true traffic circles or not--they all, though, have some form of circular shape, just not names as far as I know. //MrD9 04:45, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

GPS Coords/Maps
I think we should attempt to add GPS coords/Maps (Satellite, the best seem so far to be from google maps.google.com/Google Earth (pretty much same data); airplane images from MSFT Windows live local local.live.com are amazing, and available for at least most of northern NJ (havent checked the rest of the state)... but in my attempts to find other circles to see if my "circles" are circles or not, i've had bad luck finding images of existing ones. I'm sure there's some template thing (liek those at the bottom of NJ MunicipalitY (US MUNI?) articles--or a new tempalte for somethign like this--could pretty much do this automatically, other than potentially finding the coordinates by hand using a map program?

I'm not good with maps, but I think that external links to real images (and maps if the former's not possible) woudl be very beneficial. SOrry for the horrible typing/grammar--in a rush. //MrD9 04:50, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Route 12 Circle
One circle on the list is labeled as the "Route 12 Circle." While I can identify this circle by process of elimination (with the other two Flemington circles labeled the "Flemington Circle" and the "Main Street Circle"), I think this label is somewhat confusing. Why? Because State Route 12 enters all three Flemington circles. Although I must admit I'm not sure I can come up with a more appropriate name. Only the Flemington Circle has ever been "named" to the best of my knowledge. The "Main Street Circle" was always "the one by Krauzer's" to me. [Note: Krauzer's is a convenience store chain that has a franchise location on that circle.] And the "Route 12 Circle" was known to me as "the one out Route 12" or "the one Mine Street dumps into" or the like. Thoughts? --YLlama 18:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * If we're going to list unnamed circles, we have to call them something. I'd favor using the names of the roads that intersect there, the most significant ones if there are more than, say, three. Frankly I'm surprised this one is redlinked. I can't see there ever being an article about it. TCC (talk) (contribs) 22:20, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I've been a Flemington resident for the last 15 years, and I've always kown it as "the Rt 12 Circle". It'd be better if I could recall where I heard it, obviously, but the name _does_ seem to be well-known.24.149.152.50 22:00, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

What about...
...Four Mile Circle? I don't see that here, but it could be an alternate name.

And how about the Bound Brook circle? 68.39.174.238 04:55, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Added Bound Brook circle. Rhvanwinkle (talk) 21:58, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Reorganisation
I suggest providing separate sections for circles that have been significantly modified or are no longer existent. --Bossi ( talk ;; contribs ) 11:12, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Diners
It seems that almost every NJ traffic circle had/has a diner on it, such as Olga's at Marlton Circle. Should this be mentioned with a sentence in the article, since diners are sort of a NJ institution? I'd even suggest adding a diner column to the list, though that might be considered too off-topic.TheSquirrel (talk) 04:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * An observation that is probably true, but does not seem sufficiently encyclopedic to include. Include the details if you can find a source to support the diner/circle relationship. Alansohn (talk) 05:01, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

New Brunswick circle
Wasn't there a circle where Route 18 meets Route 1 in New Brunswick north of the Turnpike? 69.115.56.118 (talk) 20:04, 22 August 2011 (UTC)NEXTBARKER

Richard Cocks

Richard Cocks (1565–1624) was the head of the British East India Company trading post in Hirado, Japan, between 1613 and 1623, from its creation, and lasting to its closure due to bankruptcy.

Life in France
He was baptised on 20 January 1565 at St Chad's, Seighford, Staffordshire, the fifth of the seven children of Robert Cocks of Stallbrook, yeoman, and his wife, Helen. He was apprenticed in London and became a member of the Clothworkers' Company. He moved to Bayonne in Southern France. In 1605, he was recruited by Sir Thomas Wilson as a spy, where he monitored the movements of English Roman Catholic exiles who passed through the region on their way to Spain. After losing a large amount of money to a Portuguese con artist, he was no longer able to pay his English creditors and returned home in disgrace. His reputation at home was ruined and he decided to leave England to start a new life in Japan.

Life in Japan
Cocks sailed to Japan on the Clove as part of the first English expedition to the country, led by John Saris, which left England in 1611 and arrived in Hirado on 12 June 1613. Cocks was appointed chief factor of the East India Company at Hirado on 26 November 1613, shortly before the departure of Saris to England. The surviving documents of the trading post (letters, accounts and journals) are a unique source of first-hand accounts of early modern Japan through secular Western eyes.

During his time in Japan, he wrote a very detailed diary, relating the history of the trading post, the situation of Japan at the time, and the activities of English merchants in Japan, among whom was also the English pilot and samurai, retainer to Tokugawa Ieyasu, William Adams, with whom he wrote he had visited the residence of Imperial Fleet Admiral Mukai Shogen Tadakatsu, under orders from the Shogun, to discuss the possibility, required logistics, and outcome of an invasion of the Spanish Philippines in 1616. Cocks was close to Adams, inheriting many of his prized possessions upon his death in 1620, and later paying financial support for two children claimed to be Adams's.

In the spring of 1617, Cocks paid 1,500 pounds to Chinese merchant Li Dan in an ill-fated attempt to open trade with China. This incident led to harsh criticism of Cocks's mismanagement within the Company, but he remained in charge of the Hirado factory.

By 1618 he had established trade with China and Cambodia.

In the spring of 1622, Cocks was ordered to return to Batavia after Richard Fursland, the president of the Council of Defence at the Company, received reports of extravagant feasting and womanizing among the English traders in Hirado. Cocks ignored the order, but thereafter, Fursland sent Joseph Cockram to Hirado in the summer of 1623 to audit the Company's accounts. Cockram discovered a massive deficit in the accounts, which led Fursland to close the factory at Hirado. Cocks and the other English traders departed Japan on the Bull on Christmas Eve, 1623.

Death at sea
After the trading post was closed in 1623, the East India Company in Batavia decided to send Cocks to England for a final judgment as to whether he should be punished as a criminal for his mismanagement. Cocks sailed for England on the Anne Royal but died and was buried at sea on 27 March 1624 in the southern Indian Ocean.

Talk:James Hewitt

No source needed on Sandhurst attendance
Regarding multiple users reverting my edit here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hewitt Verifiability only applies to material likely to be challenged.

The first line in the article is "James Hewitt (born 1958) is a former British household cavalry officer in the British Army.", you did not write a citation was needed for that, so to then write that the argument I used was 'I know he is an officer' is incorrect. I do not personally know James Hewitt. Other sourced articles on Wikipedia state that British Army Officers attend Sandhurst, it is not likely to be disputed as the only commissioning occurs there. In fact, the word that the citation is being attached to already leads to the following:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Military_Academy_Sandhurst "All British Army officers, including late entry officers who were previously Warrant Officers, as well as many from elsewhere in the world, are trained at Sandhurst. "

There is no reason to clutter articles with sources when a sourced article is linked already. I cannot see an argument that the verifiability can be challenged, but if you do I suggest you tackle either the RMAS page or the opening line of the article.

Also see this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Military_Academy_Sandhurst#cite_ref-iht-kiss_27-0, where he is also specifically listed as an Army Officer, on the page linked, with a rouce

If anyone wants to add the source to the article, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_depth/uk/2000/newsmakers/2646441.stm it is there, but it is redundant

80.2.61.232 (talk) 23:40, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

 * I'd agree that, per your links, a source probably isn't needed, but seeing as we have one I've added it anyway. Mato (talk) 23:44, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Thanks Mato, suppose it's easier than trying to argue the point!

 * I would like to point to the essay here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_clutter for anyone who wants to clean up this article in the future. The fact that James Hewitt was a Household Cavalry Officer is 'oversourced' and 'cluttered' in my opinion, but obviously I am not in a position to judge given my point of view was reverted twice!.

 * 80.2.61.232 (talk) 00:04, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Appearance on "Vroom Vroom"
His appearance in Top Gear is mentioned; then I suppose his appearance on the BBC's Vroom Vroom should also be. Or, how does one measure the shows' relative importance? [Signed long after the fact] -- CRConrad (talk) 14:34, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Place of birth Northern Ireland or Kent?
The article references this piece in the Telegraph, but in there is says Hewitt was born in Kent not Northern Ireland which the this article states. I wonder why is there a discrepancy? Aberdeen01 (talk) 16:09, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Date of birth vs. affair with Diana
Currently the article claimes, that James Hewitt was born in 1968, and that his affair with Diana had begun earlier than he had previously stated, commencing in 1982, not 1986. This would mean, that he was 14 years old when he started his affair with Diana. Can this be a fact? 62.78.214.216 (talk) 01:24, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

DNA Test?
Is it true that a recent DNA Test has proved that Prince Harry is the son of Prince Charles and not of Hewitt? Valetude (talk) 18:09, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
 * No. Richard75 (talk) 15:18, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
 * You can bet your pension that very comprehensive DNA testing will have been done given the constitutional issues involved, but the results won't be made public for very many years, if ever. --Ef80 (talk) 12:42, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't bet my pension on that. The standard position in English law is that a child is legitimate if it is born within wedlock, and is regarded as the legal heir of its mother's husband.  Actual biological paternity is not relevant.  Numerous offspring of the nobility are reputed to be fathered by men other than their mothers' husband, but I'm not aware of any case where this in itself has been an obstacle to inheritance, e.g. of a peerage. I think the same would apply to the royal family.  There would however be legal implications for both the mother and the biological father if the line of succession was affected.  Cuckolding the heir to the throne would be an offence of some kind - probably treason.  I think the royal family would be rather careful *not* to have paternity testing except for medical reasons, in which case the results would probably be kept confidential to the relevant individuals.2A00:23C8:7906:1301:1DF7:9D6A:DB1A:B725 (talk) 14:11, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

“Home wrecker”
Why is there nothing about this gentleman being a home wrecker, screwing with the future queen of England ? 2001:8003:6A23:2C00:31A6:845E:84F7:81FD (talk) 14:16, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Why is it that the term "homewrecker" is always applied to the third party, instead of the cheating husband or wife who is actually screwing up his/her own marriage?

Since We Last Spoke

Since We Last Spoke is the second studio album by American musician RJD2. It was released on Definitive Jux in 2004.

Since We Last Spoke peaked at number 94 on the UK Albums Chart, as well as number 128 on the Billboard 200 chart. It includes "Exotic Talk", which peaked at number 93 on the UK Singles Chart.

Critical reception
At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 80, based on 21 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club gave the album a favorable review, saying, "Since We Last Spoke finds RJD2 sounding like some blessed creature who's able to tune in every radio station in the world, past and present, and mix them together into a cohesive whole." He added: "For all its adventurousness and genre-mashing, the album has a surprising pop sensibility." Dave Heaton of PopMatters concluded, "If you think of hip-hop as a musically conservative genre (as it's often called) or if you consider most instrumental hip-hop to be predictable or even dull, chances are good that Since We Last Spoke will do more than just surprise you, it'll blow your world apart". David Drake of Stylus Magazine wrote that RJD2 had utilized the "postmodern sampling techniques of hip-hop to reconstruct 70s AM rock radio" and produced "not just a great hip-hop album, but also one of the best rock albums of the year".

Spin placed it at number 37 on its list of the best albums of 2004.

Talk:John Terry

Leaving Chelsea
''On 31 January 2016 Chelsea FC announced that they will not be renewing John Terry's contract with the club. At 35 years old his career in Premiership football may be at an end. There is always the option for players of his age to head over to the US and play for American clubs. He said he does not want to retire.'' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.72.21 (talk • contribs)

Controversies
Does anybody else think that there should be a "controversies" section on this article? I think that piping the wife of one of his best friends, allegedly calling Anton Ferdinand some things I'm probably not allowed to say here, throwing food at American tourists after 9/11 and assaulting a bartender, all to quite a lot of media attention, probably warrants a section in the article. I think all of the controversial stuff from "personal life" should be moved there. Crystalpalace6810 (talk) 18:22, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

CKSH-DT

CKSH-DT, virtual and VHF digital channel 9, branded on-air as ICI Estrie, is an Ici Radio-Canada Télé owned-and-operated station licensed to Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada and serving the Estrie region. The station is owned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (known in French as Société Radio-Canada). CKSH-DT's studios are located on Rue King Ouest in Sherbrooke, and its transmitter is located in Orford. On cable, the station is available on Vidéotron channel 10 and in high definition on digital channel 602. On satellite, it is carried on Bell Satellite TV channel 108 and in high definition on channel 1820.

History
The station first signed on the air on September 19, 1974. As a privately owned station, CKSH basically functioned as a semi-satellite of CBFT (channel 2) in Montreal due to not having alternative non-network sources of programming available. After several years, CKSH began airing its own local news and a few programs not carried by CBFT. The station had been owned directly by Cogeco prior to the latter's majority acquisition of the TQS network (later V, now Noovo), to which Cogeco contributed its existing local stations. Radio-Canada took editorial control of the station's news programming in 2002, although it currently shares a studio with its former sister station CFKS-DT (channel 30).

CKSH and TVA owned-and-operated station CHLT-DT (channel 7) in Sherbrooke are seen on some cable systems in Northern New England, serving the French American community. They serve as a vital link to the Québécois culture in these communities. Some parts of Vermont and New Hampshire can also pick up their signals over the air.

In September 2007, Radio-Canada announced that it would not renew its affiliation agreement with its three Cogeco-owned affiliates — CKSH, CKTM-TV in Trois-Rivières and CKTV-TV in Saguenay — after their then-current agreement expired in August 2008. An application to directly acquire the station was filed by Radio-Canada on April 25, 2008, concurrently with Cogeco's proposed sale of TQS to Remstar Corporation. The transaction was approved by the CRTC on June 26, 2008.

Digital television and high definition
After the analogue television shutdown and digital conversion, which took place on August 31, 2011, CKSH has shut down its analogue transmitter at midnight on September 1, 2011, and started digital broadcasts on its old analogue channel number, 9. However, through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display CKSH's virtual channel as 9.1.

Sebastianus

Sebastianus (fl. 411–413), a brother of Jovinus, was an aristocrat of southern Gaul. After Jovinus usurped the throne of the western Roman Emperor Honorius in Gaul in 411, he named Sebastianus as Augustus (co-emperor) in 412. Coins bearing Sebastianus' image were then minted at Arles and Trier.

Due to broken relations between Jovinus and King Ataulf of the Visigoths, however, Ataulf captured Sebastianus in 413 and turned him over to Dardanus, Honorius' praetorian governor in Gaul. Dardanus then executed Sebastianus and sent his head to Honorius' court at Ravenna.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2005-10-03/Speedy copyvios

Two new criteria for speedy deletions were added this week. The first criterion for speedy deletion, allowing for the deletion of certain copyright violations, was added to the criteria this week, following a two-week voting period.

The new criterion states that blatant copyright violations may be speedily deleted. The proposal resulted from the immense backlog facing administrators at the copyright problems page, where violations would often sit unattended for weeks at a time. The vast majority of the time, there were no further edits of the article in question, resulting in articles being deleted in the same shape they were when they were listed. Thus, the massive backlog, combined with many administrators spending unnecessary amounts of time deleting the articles, caused Bluemoose to initiate the proposal.

The exact wording of the new criterion is as follows:

 * The following shall be a criterion for speedy deletion.

 * An article that is a blatant copyright violation and meets these parameters:

 * Material is unquestionably copied from the website of a commercial content provider (e.g. encyclopedia, news service).
 * The article and its entire history contains only copyright violation material, excluding tags, templates, and minor edits.
 * Uploader makes no assertion of permission or fair use, and none seems likely.
 * The material is identified within 48 hours of upload and is almost or totally un-wikified (to diminish mirror problem).

 * Notification: When tagging a page for deletion under this criterion, a user should notify the page's creator using wording similar to or an equivalent message. Before deleting any page under this criterion, an admin should verify that the page creator has been notifed -- if not, the admin should do so. If the creator was not logged in and did not use a consistent IP address, such notification is unneeded.

Similar attempts at adding criterion regarding copied contents have been tried in the past, but to no avail. A similar proposal, part of the multi-proposal addition to CSD criteria, was voted down in July of this year, mainly because the proposed criteria was too general in scope. Also, a similar measure was not passed in January, also because of the generality of the wording. Both times, Wikipedians feared that the wide range of the criterion gave users too much leeway and feared that the criterion would be used inappropriately.

This time, though, the proposal was worded in a specific manner, narrowing down the range. This, combined with the growing backlog on WP:CP, led to the proposal's approval.

The voting lasted two weeks, from 17 September to 1 October, 2005. Using the previous proposal's guidelines, the vote was only open to registered Wikipedians with over 50 edits at the opening of the vote. In addition, a 70% support was required to pass the proposal.

With 100 votes supporting (though two votes were later disregarded because the voters did not meet the guidelines), six opposing, and two neutral, the proposal was passed on 1 October. Most of the opposing and neutral voters were worried about loopholes in the proposal. "I have come across several instances in which people were accused of copyvios when in fact the material had been copied from the Wikipedia article. Since experienced editors have accused other experienced editors of copyvios on these grounds, I am unwilling to put that decision in the hands of a single admin," Guettarda commented. In addition, others were concerned that the criterion would encourage biting of new users, and that the criterion "broadens [the previous proposal] substantially." However, most people praised the proposal. "[The criterion] would relieve a lot of the unnecessary load on WP:CP," stated TenOfAllTrades. Others expressed their frustration at the current problem, and echoed TenOfAllTrades. "[I am] sick and tired of all this copyvio being cut-and-pasted into [Wikipedia]," declared Ral315.

The criterion was added to the official Wikipedia policy page as criterion A8.

A second criterion was also added, based on Jimbo's statement that all orphaned fair-use images could be deleted. The criterion encompasses images that were uploaded under the "fair-use" provision and are not used in any articles. The exact wording of the new criterion is as follows:

 * Copyrighted images uploaded without permission of the copyright holder, or under a license which does not permit commercial use, which are not currently used in any article, if more than seven days old (so-called "orphaned fair use images"). Reasonable exceptions may be made for images uploaded for an upcoming article.

Though similar to the new criterion regarding unsourced images, this criterion covers those images whose copyright status is claimed to be fair use, but are not used in any articles.

Talk:Car modding

Article needs some cleanup, but I couldn't find other articles that cover the topic (it is noteworthy... lots of parent's money and several movies have been made about the topic). So, we'll work from what's here, though it needs some work. --Interiot 23:41, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Merge to Import Scene
I'm against mergng this with Import Scene. Car modding was around before imports were veen available in the USA (goint back to the late 40s when servicemen returning to California from WWII would modify and race vehicles in the desert and on salt flats; maybe even earlier). And there are many modern car modding communities that focus on American cars.
 * I'd tend to agree with you, see for instance chopped and channeled and Kustom Kulture. Also, "import" is also a bit of a POV term...  certainly car modding occurs in various forms around the world, including Japan.  --Interiot 03:05, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

de version of the article
For what it's worth, the de version of the article is a fair bit more thorough and encyclopedic than what we had before. I've merged over some of the document structure from it, but there's still some amount of information that could be translated over (see for instance |en google translate or babelfish). --Interiot 10:52, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

The Infotainment Scan

The Infotainment Scan is the fifteenth album by The Fall, released in 1993 on Permanent Records in the UK and by Matador Records in the USA (the first of the band's albums to get an official American release since Extricate (1990)). At the time of its release, it was considered the band's most accessible album and came when the band were experiencing unprecedented recognition in the media. It entered the UK Albums Chart at number 9, making it their highest-charting album.

Track information
The album features covers of the Sister Sledge disco track "Lost in Music" and of Steve Bent's "I'm Going to Spain", an obscure song that Bent had performed on the British talent show New Faces in 1976 (Bent's version was included on The World's Worst Record album, compiled by disc jockey Kenny Everett in 1978). The CD edition of The Infotainment Scan also includes "Why Are People Grudgeful?", the only track to be released as a single (albeit in a different version). It is based on two reggae songs: "People Grudgeful" by Joe Gibbs and "People Funny Boy" by Lee "Scratch" Perry.

Of the original compositions on The Infotainment Scan, "Glam-Racket" drew much attention for its alleged criticism of Britpop band Suede, with the lyric "you are entrenched in suede", although Mark E. Smith denied it was a reference to the band and asserted that it was an attack on nostalgia. "The League of Bald-Headed Men", identified by Simon Reynolds as a "diatribe against gerontocracy", appears to borrow its riff from Led Zeppelin's "Misty Mountain Hop", despite Smith's claim that he had never heard the band's music. A remix of "The League of Bald-Headed Men", retitled "League Moon Monkey Mix", is also included on the CD edition.

"Paranoia Man in Cheap Sh*t Room" adapts its title from "Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room", an episode of The Twilight Zone. Smith had previously borrowed episode titles "What You Need" and "Time Enough at Last" (and would later use "Kick the Can").

Reissues
The Infotainment Scan was reissued by Artful in 1999 with the same track listing as the original CD editions. It was remastered and expanded to a double-CD set by Castle Music in 2006 with slightly amended artwork. The first disc followed the original CD album track order, while the second added B-sides, demos, alternate versions and radio sessions.

Critical reception
The Infotainment Scan received generally positive reviews. AllMusic's Ned Raggett called it "a winner and a half" and "one of the band's most playful yet sharp-edged releases", picking out "Paranoia Man in Cheap Sh*t Room" as a highlight. Jim Sullivan for The Boston Globe called it "10 tracks of caustic wit set to backing music that swirls one moment and grinds the next". Robert Christgau gave it a three-star "honorable mention", with the comment "great original sound, one hell of a cover band". Ben Thompson, in The Independent, gave it a positive review, stating "Smith's invective has rarely been more sharply honed" and that the band "have rarely sounded brighter". Simon Reynolds, reviewing it for The New York Times, stated it "may be one of the Fall's more approachable records, but Mr. Smith's lyrics are as caustic as ever". Keith Cameron, reviewing for the NME, said the album "stands at the very peak of their canon". Chuck Eddy, for Spin, was less enthusiastic, saying Smith "used to seem smarter" and accusing him of repeating himself. Mark Jenkins of The Washington Post stated "the album continues the swaggeringly uncompromising and hopelessly unmarketable mix of Craig Scanlon's scratchy guitar, bassist Stephen Hanley and drummer Simon Wolstencroft's loping thump, and Smith's caustic and cryptic, cut-up and spit-out poetry."

The album was included in Robert Dimery's 2005 book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

Personnel

 * The Fall
 * Mark E. Smith – vocals, tapes, production (2, 10)
 * Craig Scanlon – guitar

CKTM-DT

CKTM-DT, virtual channel 13 (UHF digital channel 28), branded on-air as ICI Mauricie–Centre-du-Québec, is an Ici Radio-Canada Télé owned-and-operated station licensed to Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada and serving the Mauricie region. The station is owned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (known in French as Société Radio-Canada). CKTM-DT's studios are located on Boulevard Saint-Jean (near Route 40) in Trois-Rivières, and its transmitter is located on Rue Principale in Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel. On cable, the station is available on Cogeco Cable channel 3 and in high definition on digital channel 504.

History
The station first signed on April 15, 1958; the station was the very first broadcasting property owned by Cogeco, which was founded in Trois-Rivières the previous year.

Until June 2008, the station was owned by Cogeco and was a twinstick with the TQS O&O CFKM-TV. As a privately owned station, CKTM effectively functioned as a semi-satellite of CBFT in Montreal due to a lack of non-network sources of programming. The station had been owned directly by Cogeco prior to the latter's majority acquisition of TQS, to which Cogeco contributed its existing local stations. Radio-Canada took editorial control of the station's news programming in 2002, although it continued to share a studio with CFKM.

In September 2007, Radio-Canada announced that it would not renew its affiliation agreement with its three Cogeco-owned affiliates — CKTM, CKTV-TV in Saguenay and CKSH-TV in Sherbrooke — after their then-current agreement expired in August 2008. An application to directly acquire the stations was filed by Radio-Canada on April 25, 2008, concurrently with Cogeco's proposed sale of TQS to Remstar Corporation. The transaction was approved by the CRTC on June 26, 2008.

Radio-Canada relocated all its radio and television facilities in the region into an integrated production centre, which opened on March 22, 2010, in Trois-Rivières. Radio-Canada intends on increasing its local programming output on its radio and television stations in the region.
