Talk:Bosnians

Is this page about Bosnians or is this actually another page about Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks?
Just wondering...

You already have a page about Serbs.

You have a page about Croats.

You have a page about Bosniaks.

So why on this page about Bosnians there is nothing about Bosnians? Do you even know who Bosnians are?

Do you know how internationally admitted an recognized independent country Bosnia and Herzegovinia got its name? Do you know that every country has its own national identity and own Nation that derives it's name from that IDENTITY.

Do you know that Bosnians derive its national identity from the country that is called Bosnia, therefore the language will be Bosnian and citizens of Bosnia are called - Bosnians.

And citizens of Serbia are called Serbs.

And citizens of Croatia are called Croats.

And citizens of Germany are called Germans.

This Bosnian page is saying that Bosnians are Germans, Americans, Croats, Serbs and Bosniaks.

Do you understand that Bosnians are simply Bosnians. This is their national identity. It does not matter what Germans, Serbs, Croats or anyone in the world feel about it! It's their free will.

If you declare that Bosnia is your country you are citizen and you could be alien you are Bosnian.

If you declare that Bosnia is NOT your country, you are not citizen you have no business doing this page and pulling it in favor of your respectively chosen country!

I see here lots of non-Bosnians who are pulling strings in favor of their countries ( Serbia, Croatia mainly!! ) not allowing this page to be about Bosnians? Why?

 * Do you know that Bosnians derive its national identity from the country that is called Bosnia, therefore the language will be Bosnian and citizens of Bosnia are called - Bosnians. - First, there is no such thing as "Bosnian nation" or "Bosnian ethnicity", the term Bosnian is anachronistic in any other sense other then being regional appellative. Second, the country is named Bosnia and Herzegovina, and is composed of 3 markedly different nations (Serbs, Croats, and Bosniaks) which have had centuries of co-existence (with a few ethnic cleansings now and then) in their own respective cultures.
 * I assure you that no one is "pulling strings" around here, it's just that people get very nervous when terms such as Bosnian are loosely applied. For instance, most of the foreigners (incl. the geniuses at Ethnologue) naively assume that the Bosnian language refers to the "language of Bosnia", when it facts it refers to the codified language of the Bosniaks (codified, as the Bosniaks also speak dialects that are not Ijekavian Neoštokavian), some kind of Turkish-influenced cross-breed of Serbian and Croatian. Serbs and Croats of Bosnia certainly do not speak such Bosnian language, as they've been calling their language in their respective national names for centuries, and have had separate literatures in it. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 14:32, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

I see, you don't know the difference between a nation and an ethnicity, Ivan.... Bosniaks, Serbs, and Croats are not nations, but ethnicities, while a Bosnian is a nation, just like a Serbian is a nation, while a Serb isn't.80.80.40.208 (talk) 15:49, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Ivan is on a clear pro-Croat agenda here, in fact Bosniaks are linguistically more homogeneous than either Serbs or Croats, their language did not arise as some absurd breed between "Serbian" and "Croatian". Speaking of antiquity 'Bosnian' is just as old as 'Serbian' or 'Croatian', with a linguistic corpus possibly even richer than the other two, however with Serb and Croat nationalists we always fall into the same viscous story of how Bosnia and everything Bosnian has "really, really, really" always just been Serbian or Croat. In regard to the Turkish vocabulary influence on the Bosnian language, it exists, but so it does in Serbian or Croatian, it is only in the past century that Serbs and Croats have forcibly thrown out a part of the "Turkish" words, but far from all. Especially, the Croats even continue to this day to make up new words in their language to artificially distinguish themselves from Serbs or Bosniaks, one example is the word for helicopter which they have come to call "zrakomlat" (literary "airbeater"). Behind all of this is naturally just a heap of nasty nationalism based on pseudo-science. It is also not true that Bosnian Serbs and Croats have "been calling their language in their respective national names for centuries", simply because of the fact that Bosnian "Serbs" and "Croats" only came about in the 19th century when Catholic and Orthodox Bosnians started declaring as such. Allow me to cite acclaimed US scholars John VA Fine and Robert Donia: "A Bosnian's identity as a Bosnian - even if it originally referred to his geographical homeland or state membership - has roots going back many centuries, whereas the classification of any Christian Bosnian as a Serb or a Croat goes back barely a century." - Robert Donia, John VA Fine (2005). "Bosnia and Hercegovina: A Tradition Betrayed". Columbia University Press, p. 73, 1995. With this reply I only wished to uncover a small part of the vast history revisionism that Serbs and Croats continue to undertake. 90.230.54.125 (talk) 17:25, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

This is who Bosnians are !!!
Bosnia-Herzegovina or Bosnia is the multiethnic and multireligious country of all:

 * Illyrians ( Ilira )
 * Germanic people ( Germana )
 * South Slavs ( Juznih Slavena )
 * Latins ( Latina )
 * Jews ( Jevreja )
 * Romanies ( Roma )
 * Kurds ( Kurda )
 * Arabs ( Araba )

in other words of all:

 * heretics Bosnians( Bogumil church ) --- ( krstjana Crkve bosanske )
 * muslims( muslimana )
 * roman catholics ( katolika )
 * protestants ( protestanata )
 * buddhists ( budista )
 * gnostics ( gnostika )
 * jews ( juda )
 * hindus ( hindusa )
 * agnostics ( agnostika )
 * orthodox( pravoslavaca )
 * atheists ( ateista )
 * other religions ( druge religije )
 * non-religious ( bez religije )
 * etc. ( itd...)

who are citizens of Bosnian Nation and members of it's Bosnian People. In other words all those who are members of:

 * Bosnianherezegovinian Nation ( Bosanskohercegovacke nacije ) and
 * Bosnianherzegovinian People ( Bosanskohercegovackog naroda )

are Bosnians ( Bosanci/Bosanke ). --24.192.84.226 (talk) 03:30, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Agree, this is correct 2601:240:CD0C:9FAD:48CD:2E2:73B7:C514 (talk) 01:48, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Bosnians are SLAVS, whether Croat, Serb or "Bosniak". I know that some Bosniaks wish to remove themselves from this Slavic classification, because Serbs are Slavs, as are many of the other eastern European countries which morally support Serbia and are against Islam in Europe, but you cannot change your hertiage, no matter how many Turkish or Arabic loan words you artificially introduce into the Bosniak "language". The other groups are what we call 'ethnic minorities'. Hxseek (talk) 23:53, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hxseek = nasty Serb nationalist. Is trying to subtly convey something by putting Bosniaks and their language in quotation marks as if they were less of a real people than "Bosnian Serbs" or "Bosnian Croats". How transparent his hate towards the Bosniaks are. Perhaps he should pick up a few scholarly books and read how the classification of any Christian Bosnian as "Serb" or "Croat" barely goes back a century, before that the primary identification of any Bosnian regardless of religion was Bosnian (or Bosniak which was the prevalent name before the 19th century). If anything, the "Serb" and "Croat" elements in Bosnia should be put in quotations marks because they are certainly of a newer date than either "Bosniaks" or the "Bosnian language". 90.230.54.125 (talk) 17:04, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

 * This is not correct, Bosnians are Slavs, but Romans didn’t kill all the people who lived there before Slavs came. There were others who have come after. We are very rich and diverse. 2601:240:CD0C:9FAD:48CD:2E2:73B7:C514 (talk) 01:52, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Term:"Bosnian" is simply regional,it has nothing to do with nationality.Just like "Vojvodinian or Sumadinian or Sandzaklian" can not be a nation or a ethnic group,so that "Bosnian" is not a nationality.Bosnia is artificial creation set up in Dayton at a request of Nato,but it will soon be dismembered.The process has already started. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.0.181.116 (talk) 23:56, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

No, Bosnian is not regional, why else is B&H in the United NATIONS? If Bosnian would be regional, then Serbian would be regional too.80.80.40.208 (talk) 15:54, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Wrong numbers
The numbers are a complete mess.

Accroding to the official, state population census from 2013 there is relatively few "Bosnians" in BIH. There is around 2.7% people who didn't identify with Bosniak, Croat or Serb nationality, however exactly how many among these 2.7% identified as "Bosnians" is not known.

Also, the CIA factbook (listed as a source) is just an estimate and not as good source as the an official census.

And even this CIA factbook doesn't list "Bosnian" as a sole nationality, instead it writes : "Bosnian, Herzegovinian". So according to this CIA source, we also have around 3.8 milion "Herzegovinians" in BIH.

Inaccurate statement
Bosnians are referred to as people who were born in Bosnia, and often practice Islam. Therefore Sebs or Croats are NOT Bosnians. 2603:7080:7F00:A71D:5011:D99E:B52C:B9AB (talk) 05:27, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

 * What do you mean? This is accurate article. Serbs and Croats whose ancestors are from Bosnia, certainly feel as Bosnians. Even if just their parents moved to Bosnia for job opportunities during the SFRJ time. 2601:240:CD0C:9FAD:48CD:2E2:73B7:C514 (talk) 01:39, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Project Genesis (Star Trek)

Untitled

 * The torpedo was detonated inside the starship Reliant, which was itself inside a nebula of highly charged gaseous particles. As a result, it had to basically create an entire star system from scratch - a G type star, as well as the planet itself. However, the original design did include a subroutine for star creation, that was utilized for the creation of the Genesis planet's sun, and presumably there was a planet formation routine as well that were both flexible enough to create an active solar system, even from nebula material. Otherwise the torpedo would not have been able to form those coherent structures for even a short time.

Should this be included? The novels aren't really canon, and Regula was well illuminated in Star Trek II, which would suggest an existing star. --DaveJB 23:03, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree - the books aren't usually seen as canon, and it is widely believed that the star seen in the movie was there all along, that it is the one that Regula was in orbit around --Crais459 19:26, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree also that there was already a star in that system, and I think also that the Genesis Wave did not create a planet from scratch, rather that it was the planetoid Regula itself that became the Genesis Planet. When Dr. Marcus is explaining Genesis on the proposal tape, she states "it is a process whereby molecular structure is reorganized at the sub-atomic level into life-generating matter of equal mass...". As the Mutara Nebula would not have the necessary mass to form a even a planet, let alone an entire star system as has been suggested, the next most logical possibility is as I mentioned above.  Wingnutmax 14:31, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Why wouldn't the nebula have enough mass to form a planet? Evercat 00:59, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I have to agree with Wingnutmax that my understanding of how the Genesis Planet was formed was that it was created outof the planetoid Regula. Does anyone have any evidence from the movie cannon (not books) that it was formed out of the Mutara Nebula instead?  A friend of mine assumed this was the case, but I have to wonder.  Stephenw77 12:11, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Stars (and therefore complete solar systems) form from nebulae - therefore mass available wouldn't be a problem. The cover blurb for a VHS copy of The Search For Spock I have states the planet was formed from the nebula, but I doubt the canonicity of that.  In the film, however, Genesis detonates in the nebula yet the planet is formed in empty space, implying that the nebula has gone somewhere.  Here I suspect it is best to cover both the alternative theories since the films are unclear on this point. 79.77.63.221 (talk) 19:28, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

 * According to the film novelization for Star Trek III, Grissom returns to Regula and re-visits the Genesis cave. Depending on how canon the film novelization is, that would definitely suggest Genesis was created from the nebula. Ambaryer (talk) 17:56, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Merge
There has been a merge tag on Genesis Device for a long time - could someone who knows the subject make the merge, or comment why it shouldn't be done. Kcordina Talk 09:43, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

The only material that wasn't duplicated is copied below - everything else was in the article. I couldn't see how the material would easily fit so haven't included it. Kcordina Talk 09:16, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Both factors rendered the Genesis Planet unstable and short-lived, and so the experiment became a failure; however due to its destructive power beyond any known weapon, the device afterward became coveted for military purposes. It's debatable what effect the torpedo would have had if it was used as intended. The Genesis Device has not been seen since, and it is generally assumed its plans were destroyed or were being kept under lock and key, or else banned by treaty.

Merge Where?
Considering the need for disambiguation of " Project Genesis", wouldn't it be better to put this entry under Genesis Device instead?

Merge discussion
"Project Genesis" was a primary plot element in Star Trek II, with some follow-up in Star Trek III. Carol Marcus, the Genesis Cave, the Regula I station, the Reliant visiting Ceti Alpha V... this article should be merged into (or at least redirect to) Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. -- Aatrek / TALK 16:25, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

✅ Per WP:SILENCE, I have made some changes. This page now redirects to Project Genesis (disambiguation) and the link that went to this page from there now links directly to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:02, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Suzy Welch

Suzy Welch (born 1959) is an American author, television commentator, business advisor, and public speaker. She is also the co-author (with her late husband Jack Welch) of the business books Winning, published in 2005, and The Real Life MBA, published in 2015.

Early life and education
In 1959, Welch was born as Suzanne Spring in Portland, Oregon. Welch's parents are Phyllis and Bernard Spring. She was primarily raised in New York and New England. Her father is an architect and architectural school administrator. Welch attended Phillips Exeter Academy, Harvard and Radcliffe College, and Harvard Business School, from which she graduated as a Baker Scholar, in the top five percent of her class.

Career
Welch started her career as a reporter with the Miami Herald and then with the Associated Press. After business school, she worked for several years at Bain & Company, a management consulting firm based in Boston. She was later named editor-in-chief of the Harvard Business Review. She has written a novel, and authored and edited numerous books and articles dealing with leadership, organizational change, and human resource management.

In early 2002, Welch was forced to resign from the Harvard Business Review after admitting to an affair with the then-married Jack Welch, the former chief executive officer of General Electric, while preparing an interview with him for the magazine. The affair was brought to the attention of the Review by Jane Welch, Welch's wife at the time. Jack Welch and Jane Welch divorced and he then married Suzy. Suzy had the interview pulled before it appeared in the Business Review.

Together with her husband, Jack Welch, Suzy has co-authored several books including, Winning, its companion volume, Winning: The Answers, and The Real Life MBA: Your No-BS Guide to Winning the Game, Building a Team and Growing Your Career. Jack and Suzy also wrote "The Welch Way", a weekly column on business and career challenges that appeared in BusinessWeek magazine from 2005 to 2009 and was published in 45 newspapers across the world by The New York Times Syndicate. Together, they also founded Jack Welch Management Institute, an online MBA program. Suzy Welch sold her interest in the school after her husband passed away, and while she often praises the highly-ranked school, she is no longer formally associated with it.

She has written about work–life balance and other cultural issues for publications including O, The Oprah Magazine and The Wall Street Journal. In addition, she has been a commentator on television programs including Good Morning America, The View, Morning Joe, Your World With Neil Cavuto, and Power Lunch. Her career expertise and perceptive commentary have made her a regular contributor on The TODAY Show and Bulls & Bears.

In 2023, Suzy was appointed to the faculty of the NYU Stern School of Business, where she teaches “Becoming You: How to Craft the Authentic Life You Want and Need .”

Personal life
Welch is formerly known as Suzy Wetlaufer. Welch is the mother of four adult children (from her previous marriage). She married Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric, in 2004, after meeting him in October 2001. They remained married until his death in 2020.

Rossport Five

The Rossport Five (Cúigear Ros Dumhach) are Willie Corduff, brothers Philip and Vincent McGrath, Micheál Ó Seighin and James Brendan Philbin, from Kilcommon parish, Erris, County Mayo, Ireland. In 2005, they were jailed for civil contempt of court after refusing to obey a temporary court injunction forbidding them to interfere with work being undertaken by Shell on their land.

History
Justice Finnegan, President of the High Court of the Republic of Ireland, jailed the five on 29 June 2005 for civil contempt of court after refusing to obey a temporary court injunction forbidding them to interfere with work being undertaken by Shell on their land. The committal order was sought by Shell who intended to build a high pressure raw gas pipeline across land in Rossport to pipe gas from the offshore Corrib Gas Field. Three of the five men own land in Rossport: Vincent McGrath and Ó Seighin were brought to court along with them as they had assisted in blocking the Shell workers. About thirty others who had done the same were not charged.

There were protests all over Ireland during the period of the men's imprisonment,   with filling stations of Shell, and its junior partner Statoil, being picketed and blockaded by both political activists and ordinary members of the public. The protests were driven by the Shell to Sea campaign (then TD Jerry Cowley liaised with the men in prison) which took its name following a meeting with Burren campaigners in January 2005 Shell to Sea. Defending his company's stance, and despite the nationwide protests, Shell Ireland's CEO Andy Pyle tried to play down the widespread support for the men and said: "The fact is that we've gone through a process, and we have five people who don't like the outcome." All Shell sites around Rossport and Bellinaboy were blockaded by the men's neighbours, preventing work. Local TD Michael Ring said that Ireland was now a "dictatorship within a democracy". In an unusual move by the Irish judiciary, the men were told that a judge would be on hand at any time of day or night if they wanted to purge their contempt, by promising they would no longer hinder Shell employees.

The men were released from Cloverhill Prison on 30 September 2005, after 94 days, when Shell applied to the High Court to have the injunction lifted. This came after intense media and political scrutiny of the case.

Post-imprisonment
The five men and their supporters continued to campaign on the issue. In September 2006, a TNS/MRBI poll of adults in Mayo, commissioned by RTÉ, showed 66% supported the stance taken by the five men in their defiance of the court order, 20% did not.

In December 2006, an account of events leading up their imprisonment was published by the Rossport Five. There was a second printing of the book (Our Story, The Rossport 5) in January 2007.

In April 2007, Willie Corduff won the Goldman Environmental Prize on behalf of Europe. No government representative was present, though representatives were present from other countries for their winners.

In April 2008, Vincent McGrath, Mícheál Ó Seighin, his wife Caitlín and son-in-law John Monaghan, among a few others, split from Shell to Sea and set up Pobal Chill Chomáin (PCC), a parochial grouping concerned primarily with health and safety issues. PCC have not held a public meeting in the parish or elsewhere since early 2011 and are, to all intents and purposes, defunct.

Talk:Lookup table

Image processing?
From the article: '''In image processing, lookup tables are often called LUTs, and they link index numbers to output values. One common LUT, called the colormap, is used to determine the colors and intensity values with which a particular image will be displayed.'''

Does the image processing LUT definition have anything to do with traditional lookup tables in computer science? --Abdull 23:07, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Table computation time
I removed this:

 * The other restriction, may be more important, is the time, required for the preliminary evaluation of the function`s values. For example: if the argument has 64 bits then one should preliminary evaluate 264 = 1,8 * 1019 values of the function. If one value evaluation requires, for example, 1 mcsec (10 − 6sec), then the evaluation of the 1,8 * 1019 values requires appr. 580 000 years!!

The reason is quite simple: any lookup table that takes an extremely long time to compute also takes up an extremely large amount of space. Space is the fundamental limitation. Say you have a 10 terabyte drive filled with a lookup table and each element takes a microsecond to compute. Then the total time is only 16 weeks, which isn't that bad.

That's not to say there aren't applications where the precomputation time is prohibitive, either because the time per element is large or because the table is very large and disk-based. I removed the example and de-emphasized this part. Deco 22:04, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

"Space is the fundamental limitation."

But time is the fundamental limitation as well. (Vladimir Baykov)
 * No, it's not. That's exactly what I explained above. Unless each table element is extremely expensive to compute, or there is little time available for precomputation, space will almost always be the limiting factor. Deco 08:45, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

OK, you are right "space will almost always be the limiting factor" In the frame of technologies - yes! Many people think so. But if you try to think widely you understand, that time limit for DIRECT table lookup method for wordlength 64-128 is very important thing, may be more important, than the space of table.
 * It is true that, given infinite memory in which to store the table, time may become a limiting factor, but this is a purely hypothetical situation. I get your point though - just not sure whether or not it actually belongs in the article or not. Deco 22:42, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

You guess, that 64 bit word-length is only PURELY HYPOTHETICAL situation?? Really so? Even in 1985, when I first time noted that, 64 bit word-length was the standard for IBM-360. - - Very importatnt restriction of the table lookup method  is the time, required for the preliminary evaluation of the function`s values. For example: if the argument has 64 bits then one should preliminary evaluate 2**64 = 1,8 * 10**19 values of the function. If one value evaluation requires, for example, 1 mcsec (10**( - 6)sec), then the evaluation of the 1,8 * 10**19 values requires appr. 580 000 years!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.181.169.204 (talk) 07:53, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

I am quoting from the "history":

"22:02, 13 February 2006 Deco (Move new content up - remove silly example about 2^64 size table, since there's not enough space anywhere for such a table anyway)"

I guess that in any discussion to say SILLY about the other opinion, as said Deco, can only bad brought up persons. I don`t know whether it is acceppted or not to say so to professors in American universities, but in the European Universities no one professor never say so even to the students or to the  postgraduates. I guess this person must apologize.

Vladimir Baykov References

Reverse Lookup table?
I think that should be noted that the LUT operation can be reversed via hashing, e.g.:

Given:

f(x) = (r,g,b)

Where f(x) is a LUT, and the 'x' argument is a color index, and the result is a RGB555/RGB888 color vector.

Then, a f^-1(r,g,b) = x can be built using a hash table, depending on the color accuracy you need:

RLUT hash table = 2^(bits_of(R)+bits_of(G)+bits_of(B))

And the formula for f^-1(r,g,b), that retrieves the index could be written as (example):

x = HashTable[R<<(bits_of(G)+bits_of(B)) | G<<bits_of(B) | B]

Do you think that would be interesting to add an RLUT article and a reference from this one? --faragon 10:46, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Sine plot too large
The plot of the sampled sine curve is unnecessarily large, and overlaps the text in the paragraphs below (at least on my system, which has a resolution of 1024 x 768, and has the browser maximised). I'd fix this if I knew how to. — Paul G 09:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Suggest complete re-write of the article
I think the article has been writen by someone with quite limited knowldge of lookup tables. I believe the examples given are unrepresentative of most real-world lookup tables that are frequently simply associative arrays, either unsorted or sorted.

The article should cover these simple cases first and then cover trivial hash function lookups on one-dimensional tables (these being very beneficial in many situations - and very much under-utilized by programmers) and then go on to cover binary search of sorted tables, then last, but not least, hash functions.

It should also touch on memoization techniques and give examples for several ways that lookup tables can save both significant code repetition, and aid clarity.

As the article stands, a casual or inexperienced user might be put off by the view expressed that "modern processors are better off without lookup tables because tables don't fit in cache". Many lookup tables can actually be shorter than the code required to calculate values afresh, especially if the range is short and the table can be statically defined close to its use to improve locality of reference.ken (talk) 11:14, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Sine: 1/8 th of a period is enough
"symmetry rules. In this case, the lookup table is calculated by using the sine function for the first quadrant (i.e. sin(0..pi/2)). When we need a value, we assign a variable to be the angle wrapped to the first quadrant. We then wrap the angle to the four quadrants (not needed if values are always between 0 and 2*pi) and return the correct value (i.e. first quadrant is a straight return, second quadrant is read from pi/2-x, third and fourth are negatives of the first and second respectively). For cosine, we only have to return the angle shifted by pi/2" Using the cumulative sum or differences between values is enough to reconstruct all values from just 1/8-th. Due to the differential or integral relation between sine and cosine one might just store 0 to pi/4 and generate the rest from those values. Example: $$10*(\sin(15/32\cdot\pi)-\sin(13/32\cdot\pi))/2 \approx \sin(2/32\cdot\pi)$$ --Moritzgedig (talk) 19:34, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

The beers
AleSmith's beers are inspired by the brewing styles of Great Britain and Belgium. Some AleSmith beers, such as their Cream Ale and Robust Porter Beer, are only offered on draft or in kegs at the brewery. The majority, however, are available in 22-ounce or 750 ml bottles. These brews are listed below.

Amateur (1994 film)

Amateur is a 1994 crime comedy-drama film written and directed by Hal Hartley and starring Isabelle Huppert, Martin Donovan, Elina Löwensohn and Damian Young. The story revolves around a former nun who becomes embroiled in pornography, violence and international crime.

Plot
Still a virgin after 15 years in a convent, the demure Isabelle earns her living in New York City by writing pornography, which she researches by buying magazines and hiring videos. In a café, she befriends Thomas, who has amnesia after falling from a window. In another café, an accountant called Edward is befriended by Sofia, who pushed Thomas out of the window because, she says, he introduced her to drugs at the age of 12 and made her into a celebrated porn actress. She now wants revenge on Jacques, a crooked businessman for whom both Thomas and Edward worked. Learning from Edward that Thomas has data on disk that could destroy Jacques, she steals Jacques' phone number from Edward's address book while he is in the restroom. Upon returning, Edward gives her the address of a house upstate where she can hide. After contacting Jacques to blackmail him, she meets Edward at Grand Central Terminal, where he mentions that Sofia should not talk about the disks with anyone, since Jacques kills anyone who knows about them. Having agreed to meet one of Jacques' men at Grand Central to give him the address to her apartment where the disks are, Sofia urges Edward to come with her to the house upstate, afraid both she and Edward will end up being killed. She then leaves the station only to see Jacques' hit men shoving Edward into a car. They take him to an abandoned building to torture him and leave him for dead.

Meanwhile, in a hired video, Thomas sees Sofia in action and his memory starts returning. With Isabelle, he retraces his steps and finds the flat where he and Sofia lived. Isabelle dresses in one of Sofia's sexy outfits and is on the point of losing her virginity to him when someone enters and the two hastily hide. It is Jacques' hit men looking for Sofia, who arrives shortly thereafter only to be tied up by the hit men who begin to torture her. Bursting out, Thomas and Isabelle throw one hit man out of the window and, freeing Sofia, make off with her in the other hit man's car. Sofia suggests they head for the empty country cottage Edward had told her about. On the way Isabelle posts the disks to her publisher, asking him to expose the evil of Jacques after having viewed the files while at the apartment.

When the surviving hit man traces them to the cottage, he wounds Sofia before being shot dead by Edward who arrives in a stolen car. The four make off before the police arrive and Isabelle directs them to her former convent, where they are given sanctuary and the dying Sofia is tended. But the convent is surrounded by armed police, who want Edward for murder. Thomas, his conscience awakened by the kindness and care Isabelle has shown, by the realisation of his criminal past, and by guilt over the fate of Sofia, walks out of the front gate and is killed instantly by a police marksman.

Iguana Entertainment

Iguana Entertainment, later known as Acclaim Studios Austin, was an American video game developer based in Austin, Texas. The company was founded in 1991 by Jeff Spangenberg, previously lead designer for Punk Development, and originally located in Santa Clara, California. Iguana found first success with Aero the Acro-Bat, moved to Austin and acquired Optimus Software (later Iguana UK) in 1993. Iguana was acquired by Acclaim Entertainment in January 1995 and received another sub-studio, Iguana West (formerly Sculptured Software) in October that year. Spangenberg was fired from his position in July 1998 and filed a lawsuit on breach of contract the following October. Iguana was rebranded Acclaim Studios Austin in May 1999, and the studio was closed down in August 2004, followed by the Chapter 7 bankruptcy of its parent in September 2004.

History
Prior to founding Iguana Entertainment, Jeff Spangenberg, a self-taught programmer who skipped college to pursue a programming career, served as lead designer for Punk Development, the development team of publisher RazorSoft. In 1991, Spangenberg founded his own company in Santa Clara, California, and hired 20 staff, including friends of his. Initially, the company did not have a name; Jay Moon, who served as development support manager for the company, explained that Spangenberg held two pet iguanas, named Spike and Killer, wherefore the team settled on "Iguana Entertainment", with Spike and Killer serving as mascots for the company. In 1992, Several Punk Development employees joined Iguana when the partnership between Punk and RazorSoft dissolved, and Iguana hired further staff in 1993 through funding provided by publishers Sunsoft and Acclaim Entertainment.

Because of the high cost of living in the San Francisco Bay Area for Spangenberg and his employees, the company decided to move their headquarters. Their first choice was Seattle, Washington, which was also the location of Nintendo of America, but getting to know Texas' expanding technology industry, several Iguana staff traveled to Austin in May 1993 to investigate the relocation possibilities in the area. The team returned with videotape of the city's Sixth Street entertainment district. All but one employee agreed to move to Austin, and the relocation was completed shortly after. Later that year, Iguana achieved its first success with Aero the Acro-Bat and used profits generated from the game's sales to acquire Stockton-on-Tees-based developer Optimus Software, which was rebranded Iguana UK.

On December 21, 1994, Acclaim announced that they had agreed to acquire Iguana. The deal was completed on January 4, 1995, with US$5 million paid in cash and additional, undisclosed payments made in stock. In October 1995, Acclaim additionally acquired Salt Lake City-based Sculptured Software for US$30 million in stock, which became part of Iguana under the name Iguana West in December 1997.

Spangenberg was fired from Iguana on July 8, 1998, and several undisclosed management changes at the studio were announced by Acclaim later the same month. Additionally, the company was placed under Acclaim Studios, a new, decentralized management for Acclaim's development studios led by former Iguana employee Darrin Stubbington. In October that year, Spangenberg filed a lawsuit against Acclaim, Acclaim co-founder Greg Fischbach, and Iguana for breach of contract and fraud. The suit, handled as "Jeffery Spangenberg vs. Acclaim Entertainment, Inc., Iguana Entertainment, Inc., and Gregory Fischbach", alleged that Fischbach urged Spangenberg to purchase Acclaim shares worth US$25,000 in February 1998, and convinced him to keep them just shortly before Spangenberg was relieved of his position, resulting in his loss of stock options. Spangenberg founded a new development company, Retro Studios, on October 1, 1999.

In May 1999, Acclaim Studios announced that they would unify all development studios owned by the company under the same branding; as part of this move, Iguana, Iguana UK and Iguana West became Acclaim Studios Austin, Acclaim Studios Teesside and Acclaim Studios Salt Lake City, respectively. When Acclaim's agreement with GMAC Commercial Finance, their primary lender, expired on August 20, 2004, the company closed all of its facilities, including Acclaim Studios Austin, on August 27, of which the Austin and New York studios saw all employees let go. Acclaim itself filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy with the United States bankruptcy court in Central Islip, New York on September 1.

The "Iguana Entertainment" name was reused by brothers Jason and Darren Falcus, who had founded Optimus Software in February 1988, when they created a studio of the same name in 2009. That studio was acquired by and incorporated into Team17 in December 2011.

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. I have already been watching and occasionally posting on the speedy deletion and Cats for deletion, Manual of Style, and other pages, and in dealing with certain NPOV issues. I can't make any guarantees how often or how much I'll be able to become more active on this pages, or to what extent I would choose to take it upon myself to mediate a discussion, but I'm certainly eager to give it a try. I think, I do a fair amount of this sort of stuff already (to the extent that I can as a non-admin), and beyond that if people wish to ask me specific admin-related requests or questions, I'll be happy to help them as best as I can.

Two issues I would like to help see resolved are (1) various categorization disputes. I enjoy categorizing things, and I enjoy seeing things categorized in a simple and meaningful way. We've finally reached consensus on the vast majority of "History of Foo", "Battles of Foo" and related categories; I think my next target will be WWII battles which are currently organized by campaign, and not under the "Battles by country" category tree. (2) The use of diacritics and foreign letters in article titles. I don't know what the consensus is, and to be honest, I'm confused what the official policy is. But as a Japanese historian, I do not know how to pronounce the French "ç" or the Portuguese "ő", and I do not want to have to search for things under those names. Anyway, this is not the place to argue my entire opinion on the matter, but suffice it to say that if Tōkyō and Kyōto are to be titled as Tokyo and Kyoto (no diacritics), then articles from other languages should be too.

 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. At the moment I have a list of 285 articles which I have either created or which I have made significant major changes.

Genpei War - One of the first articles I created, the page for the war itself doesn't look like anything special, and perhaps could use some work. However, the articles of all but one of that war's battles were created by myself and edited only superficially by others.

Tzippori - One of a handful of articles which I edited towards NPOV, Jacob Schiff being another. I was astonished to discover that Tzippori had no article, and the only reference was a brief article about the nearby Muslim/Arab town which was destroyed in the 1948 war. A strongly anti-Israel (read: biased) article, ignoring entirely the long history of this town, one of the oldest Jewish settlements ever discovered.

Japanese castle - While the argument could certainly be made that Spanish, English, and Eastern European castles differ in significant and important ways, I think Japanese castles are different enough to warrant a separate article. Another long, involved article, complete with pictures which I created and which remains 80-90% my own edits.

 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. I have been involved in edit wars a handful of times, particularly over POV issues relating to Israel, and to Japanese involvement in (or relations with) China and Korea. My expertise, if I could presume to say I have one, and my focus is Japanese medieval history, and so to a large extent I try to avoid adding or removing facts, instead focusing on the style of the article. Even if something is true, does it need to be included? Does it need to be stated in that way? POV is a very difficult thing, and I do not presume that my views on history and politics are unbiased; I keep my eyes out for glaring problems, I point them out on talk pages, make suggestions for changes (often without making the changes myself) and leave it up to those who know the subject better to make the change.
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page. No further edits should be made to this page.

Talk:Polish names

Are you sure that in Poland in XV century only nobles had surnames?
Consider Nicolaus Copernicus, or more strictly Mikołaj Kopernik (Nicolaus Copernicus is a latinized form; latinized forms were common during Middle Ages and Renaissance).

He was not a nobleman - he was a townsman; neverthless, he had a family name. Kopernik was surely his family name and not a nickname (as he inherited this, so did his father), and it was a Polish family name (Copernicus' father was Polish).
 * I believe that everyone had surnames in Poland, but the noblemen had surnamed ending in '...ski' --Iamcon 01:38, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, it could make some mistakes. Not all Noble familly had their names ended by =-ski" or "-cki". Many old, powerfull famiilies had names like Górka, Pac, Odrowąż, Ostroróg, Kostka and so on. Also many non-nobles, AFAIR especialy in Galicia, changed their names to more "nobele" adding "-cki" or "-ski" for example from "Kowal" to "Kowalski". So ending of surname is not enough to say that someone was noble or not. Radomil talk 11:50, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, Niklas Koppernigk was his name and he was German. I know this was old but somebody had to bring some truth to this discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.17.140.107 (talk) 19:23, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Wojciech?
Is `Wojciech' really a Slavic name?
 * Yes, the Polish Wikipedia says it literally means "glad to be a warrior". The Polish name Wojciech probably comes for the Czech Vojtěch, but both languages are of course Slavic. – Kpalion (talk) 11:27, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Birthday
Part oabout name'sday and birthday is very East Poland POV. In Western part of country (Greater Poland, Upper Silesia) birthday were more popular than name's day at least since 19th century. Radomil talk 18:16, 10 May 2006 (UTC) These observations might be anecdotal and/or subjective. I have lived in Wrocław for many years and in my experience namedays are much more observed than birthdays. But that could just reflect my circle of family, friends and acquaintances... or my age group. The topic could benefit from a proper sociological survey. Grandmotherfrompeoria (talk) 16:50, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

namedays
I live in western Poland and namesday are more often celebrated than birthdays. I think that that is the same in whole Poland so you should changed it.

It depends what do Tou mean "western Poland". In Greater Poland (or more correctly in ex- Grand Duchy of Poznań), Upper Silesia and Eastern Pommerania Birthday's are much more popular. Radomil talk 12:54, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

First name surname vs. Surname first name
Is really putting one's surname first considered incorrect? I guess that whenever an emphasis is on surname it is ok to use this form. An example would be going through an alphabetically ordered list of people or similar. Or it might be just that I'm not using my own language properly ;) Kelner (talk) 22:26, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Patronymic Middle Names
In my (Polish) family, there is a pattern of using the father's first name as the son's middle name. Growing up, I was given the impression that this is common, but nothing of this sort is mentioned in the article. Can someone help clear this up?

If this is just a weird custom in my family, well, then I guess it would be of only personal interest. But if this was once more common, perhaps it merits mentioning? If so, has it fallen out of favor? (Maybe the Russian system of patronymics is relevant... It seems plausible that people might have wanted to avoid continuing any custom that is reminiscent of a Russian one. That would be an interesting anthropological tidbit, if it were true...)

MJM74 (talk) 05:28, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I live in Poland and have never heard of such a custom being widespread in this country, so it's most probably only a family tradition. — Kpalion(talk) 13:46, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Yea Im living in Wielkopolska and have my 2nd name same like my father 1st name. - int And birthday is most popular than nameday circa 60proc - 40proc -int —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.20.223.191 (talk) 22:33, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Edits to Diaspora names
I have removed the section on names being changed in Germany from ski to sky, because it's simply not true. Compare: [Kujawsky|http://www.verwandt.de/karten/absolut/kujawsky.html] and [Kujawski|http://www.verwandt.de/karten/absolut/kujawsky.html]. Same check for other names (e.g. Kowalski vs Kowalsky, Majchrzak vs. Mayschak) show a similar trend, that is about 10% of the entire population have -sky endings.

The rest of the text seems to be a product of author's imagination. I have seen "Hendy de Kowalski" in Florida, but never any strange edits that the text suggests. Most are simple conversions, as in the case of Fon's owner Martín Varsavsky

colleague ≠ kolega
The paragraph about distinction between the "friends" and "colleagues" needs to be changed. Author clearly made a quite common mistake comparing English 'colleague' to Polish 'kolega'. The correct translations:
 * 1) 'przyjaciel' = 'close friend',
 * 2) 'kolega' = 'friend',
 * 3) 'współpracownik' (or 'kolega z pracy') = 'colleague'.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.159.87.7 (talk) 23:23, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Article and source mismatch
The article says that, as of 2009, the three most common Polish first names for males are Piotr, Krzysztof, and Andrzej while, for females, they are Anna, Maria, and Katarzyna. However, the PDF file in the citation, dated 2009, gives a completely different set of names: Jakub, Kacper, and Szymon for males and Julia, Maja, and Zuzanna for females. According to the PDF, Piotr is the 9th most common male name, Krzysztof is 24th, and Andrzej is out of the most common 50, while Anna is the 14th most common female name, Maria is 21st, and Katarzyna is 32nd. While a ranking update based on more current information would be nice, there is still a glaring error either way. 69.171.160.42 (talk) 03:48, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

I have been copyediting this article, and I do not understand what these three sentences are trying to say. I have removed them and placed them here in case anyone wants to re-phrase them and put them back. You can find their context from the revision on 7/3/2016.

"For example, in English often changes w to v and sz to sh. Similar changes sometimes occur in French, as well as the addition to Polish aristocratic family names with the nobiliary particles of de (la particule) or von/zu, when for instance the ski/cki/dzki surnames reportedly already contain the preposition of de/von/zu used in other languages when distinguishing names of the nobility."

"In countries where not all people with de or von in their names were formally nobles, however, the adjectival suffix -ski, -ski or -sky is found in many other Slavic languages, and in Poland, the adjectival form of a name was not reserved to the szlachta (nobility)."

"Uneducated people often use plural of the common names for plural of surnames, and the feminine plural form of the adjectival surnames (felt as a neutral one, in fact non-existent) in bi-gender situation." Leschnei (talk) 21:28, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

A question about inheriting surnames
This article is a little confusing, probably as a typical example of having a lot of editors adding bits and pieces and not having an editor who keeps it together as one coherent work. But my question is that if men and women have the different ending of names, does that mean that female children don't inherit their father's surname? In other words, if Mr. Kowalski has a daughter, her last name (on her birth certificate) would not be Kowalski, but something like Kowalska? How likely would it be for an adult woman to have a last name ending in "ski"? __209.179.36.56 (talk) 20:50, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Kowalski and Kowalska are the same surname, just with different gender suffixes. If Kowalski has a daughter, the name on her birth certificate (and everywhere else) is Kowalska. No woman has a name that ends with -ski, and no man has a name that ends with -ska. Amnadya (talk) 22:18, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Re: Daka
Uh no, Wikipedia just isn't a list of buildings. There are literally hundreds of thousands of university buildings in this country... unless there's something notable about it, there's no reason to have a Wikipedia article. That you like the place doesn't make it notable. I suggest you read up on deletion policy and what Wikipedia is not, or ask this question at the [Wikipedia:Village pump] for more useful advice than I can give you. --W.marsh 23:17, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, thanks anyway. I would argue though that more people know about Daka than the majority of articles on Wikipedia. Also, i think more people would like to read and contribute to an article on Daka than a great number of articles on this site.  My outlook on Wikipedia has been demolished.

 * Nothing stops you from re-creating the article.

 * To whoever said that, I intend to, thanks. [This is what this is all about]

Orchis anthropophora

Orchis anthropophora (formerly Aceras anthropophorum), the man orchid, is a European species of orchid whose flowers resemble a human figure. The head is formed by the petals and sepals, and the suspended torso and limbs by the lobes of the labellum. It usually grows in calcareous grassland.

Description
The man orchid is a herbaceous perennial, growing to a height of 20 to 40 cm. A basal rosette of 5 cm lanceolate leaves develops from a tuber 6 cm in diameter, and between April and June a central flower spike is produced bearing up to fifty small, stemless flowers – the flowers vary from greenish, with a yellow-green labellum, to green, streaked and marked with purple.

Habitat
Orchis anthropophora favours moderately sunny meadows on well-drained, often calcareous soil. It is to be found around the Mediterranean area, and in central and western Europe as far north as southern England. It also grows in alpine areas, but not at high altitude.

It is native to Great Britain, central Europe (Austria, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland), southwestern Europe (the Balearic Islands, Corsica, France, Portugal, Sardinia, and Spain), southeastern Europe (Albania, Greece, Italy, Crete, Sicily, and countries of the former Yugoslavia), northern Africa (Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia), and western Asia (Cyprus, East Aegean Islands, Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey).

EuroManx

EuroManx was a Manx airline based at Ronaldsway Airport, which operated scheduled domestic passenger services as well as business charters. On 9 May 2008 the airline announced that it was ceasing all operations, citing rising fuel prices and reduced passenger numbers as the reasons.

History
The airline was established on 7 August 2002 and started operations on 19 August 2002. It is no relation to Manx Airlines which operated for many years prior to purchase by British Airways. It was established by Allan Keen, managing director of Isle of Man-based Woodgate Aviation. Corporate Jet Services and UK investors acquired EuroManx fully in September 2004. EuroManx initially operated with leased equipment including Beechcraft 1900 and ATR 42 aircraft from Rossair Europe and subsequently Fokker 50s from Denim Air. EuroManx introduced its own aircraft leased from various operators during 2005 with two Avro RJ70, two Dornier 328s, a Bombardier Dash 8 Q200 and a Bombardier Dash 8 Q300 aircraft. In June 2005, EuroManx successfully bought the passenger service of Emerald Airways, another low-cost carrier operating services from Liverpool. These services were operated using an ATR leased from Aer Arann. Competition from Manx2 on the Belfast route increased with Manx2 launching a 10 daily service. In October 2005, prior to the arrival of Manx2, EuroManx restructured its operation, shutting down all its scheduled international services except Dublin, and eliminating domestic services to Bristol, Southampton, Glasgow and London Stansted airports. Its RJ70 fleet was announced as retired, however both airframes continued flying until withdrawal in February 2006. At that time, EuroManx restructured again and withdrew from the Dublin route. The Dornier 328 was also withdrawn and operations continued with the remaining two Dash 8 aircraft. Euromanx ceased all operations on 9 May 2008.

Destinations
EuroManx served the following destinations prior to cessation of services during May 2008:

Fleet
The EuroManx fleet consisted of the following aircraft prior to cessation of services:

Wikipedia:Peer review/Granville Island/archive1

Granville Island
I'm looking to start making some of the articles I've worked on into Featured Articles. I'm starting with this one as I believe it has fair notability and is quite comprehensive. Two things I currently see that could use some work would be a more comprehensive intro with more detail of the island as it is today and a possible minor rework of the history section. Any ideas of how I could go about this and are there any other items I should work on? Should I get more in depth about specific buildings or would that be "encyclopedic"? Thanks. Zhatt 23:19, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It can use more images. Try getting one from under Granville Street Bridge that captures that feeling of entering Granville Island (as a pedestrian) with the bridge overhead and giant concrete pillars there and the mix of cars and people everywhere. Another historical photo would be good, too, something that illustrates the blight that afflicted the area before re-development. Also, since it is a geographical place it requires a map.

 * The introduction really downplays Granville Island's notability. It is perhaps the most successful re-development project in Canadian history. The intro can be re-worked by creating a section the post-redevelopment phase and focusing the intro on a more concise summary of the island in general (including its history). The section on post-redevelopment Granville Island should focus (theme-wise) on this innocuous statement: "The island is very popular with tourists and locals alike." This is why Granville has not turned into a tourist trap. Actually, a better question is WHY hasn't it become a tourist trap. Most other re-development quickly become tourist traps or (horrible disasters). Please note that Granville Island was an urban renewal project by CMHC. You may be able to find some documents from them. This is what they have on their website:

--maclean25 04:00, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * For starters, you would need to have a two maps (inset the best option); one showing the detailed view of the place and the other the location of the place is Canada. (The former will suffice though).
 * Then you need to have more references. Too few.
 * Would prefer that the area of the place be mention right there in the lead. It should also be mentioned why it is called a "peninsula" in the lead too. Work around the word reclaimation in a short sentence.
 * glassblowing studio, a printmaking shop, the B.C. Potter's Guild, a luthier, Please do not format inline links this way. Please remove these links. If one of them is notable, wikify the text and create an article.
 * Use the non-breaking space &nbsp between a number and its unit. eg. 760,000&nbsp;m³ = 760,000 m³

Thanks a lot. I guess I have a ton to work on. I guess this isn't going to be a featured article for a while. As for the picture, it's from the Vancovuer archives, and I'm not sure if somehow they hold the copyright. I guess I'm going to have to ask them. Thanks again. Zhatt 05:16, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Potere Operaio

Potere Operaio ("Workers' Power") was a radical left-wing Italian political group, active between 1967 and 1973. It should not be confused with "Potere Operaio Pisano" which was one of the components of a competing revolutionary group, Lotta Continua. Among the group's leaders were Antonio ('Toni') Negri, Nanni Balestrini, Franco Piperno, Oreste Scalzone and Valerio Morucci, who led its clandestine armed wing. It was part of the "workerist" movement (operaismo), leading to the later development of the Autonomist movement.

Potere Operaio ' s main sphere of operations was in factories, especially big factories in the industrial North, and publishing newspapers and leaflets. It sought to base its Marxist theory on the everyday life of supposedly revolutionary factory workers.

Potere Operaio officially ceased to exist on 3 June 1973. Most of its core members went on to be involved in Autonomia Operaia, signalling the shift from operaismo to autonomism. Some of the leaders later drifted towards more radical groups such as the Red Brigades, including Morucci and Adriana Faranda, who took part in the Moro murder. Negri was arrested in the late 1970s, accused of being the leader of the Red Brigades, before being cleared of charges. Oreste Scalzone also was arrested, in connection with violent acts.

Ex-member Achille Lollo died in August 2021. He had been sentenced for murder and arson for his role in the Primavalle fire, along with two other members of the group.

Interceptor Micros

Interceptor Micros, also known as Interceptor Software and later as Interceptor Group, was a British developer/publisher of video games for various 8-bit and 16-bit computer systems popular in Western Europe during the eighties and early nineties.

In addition to publishing games and utilities under the Interceptor label the company ran a tape and later disc duplication business, a print shop and associated graphic design studio, manufactured dual size cassette tape cases under the Compact Case Company brand and published budget software under the Players and Players Premier labels, and a few full-price titles under the premium Pandora label.

The company was owned and operated by father and son team Julian and Richard Jones, out of various locations in and around the small town of Tadley, near Basingstoke in Hampshire, England. At the height of its success the company employed around thirty people, but fell victim to the 90's video game decline, and went out of business in the early nineties.

Early days
Richard and Julian's first foray into the computer games business is documented on the official Llamasoft web site with The Joneses and Jeff Minter forming a partnership in 1982. Although the Llamasoft account of the parties' short relationship and the events surrounding the dissolution of the partnership reflect Jeff Minter and his family's opinions, the key facts and dates do not seem to be in dispute. The Jones' and Minters' short-lived partnership ended in September 1982. History has shown that neither parties' interest in the business suffered from the split, with Jeff retaining the Llamasoft name and the Joneses forming Interceptor. The company released several clones of arcade games but decided to focus on developing more original titles, as stricter copyright laws meant the clones could not be sold in the USA.

The Interceptor Label
The following titles were published under the Interceptor label:

 * After Shock
 * Aquanaut
 * Asiento
 * Assembler 64
 * Azimuth 3000
 * Bandana City
 * Big Ben
 * Bigtop Barney
 * Break Fever (C64)
 * BurgerTime (C64)
 * Caverns of Sillahc
 * China Miner
 * Crazy Kong 64
 * Crystals of Carus
 * Cuddly Cuburt
 * Defender 64
 * Forest at the World's End
 * Frogger 64
 * Front Line
 * Get Off My Garden!
 * Guzzler
 * The Heroes Of Karn
 * The Empire of Karn
 * Jewels of Babylon
 * LA Police Dept.
 * Melonmania
 * Message from Andromeda
 * Micro Rescue
 * Missile Command
 * Panic 64
 * Quango
 * Scramble 64
 * Siren City

 * Wallie Goes To Rhymeland (C64)
 * Warlord
 * Where's my Bones?
 * Wheelin' Wallie (C64)
 * Wild Ride (C64)
 * Wunda Walter (Vic 20)

The Players and Players Premier labels
From 1986 to 1991 Players issued budget-priced GB£1.99 tape-based games for various 8-bit platforms. The Players Premier label games were priced at GB£2.99. In addition some titles were released for the Atari ST and Amiga platforms on disc at GB£4.99 under the Smash 16 and Players Gold labels. The titles competed against budget software pioneer Mastertronic, and later Codemasters and others in an increasingly crowded budget software marketplace.

Players packaging was bright and colourful. The original concept was designed by Michael Wood, an artist and designer and the then Studio Manager at Interceptor. Most of the packaging artwork at the time was designed by Michael Wood who had several artists working with him. The designs were worked up as finished pieces by air brush artists such as Peter Austin.

The label's most successful and best-known releases were the Joe Blade series of games (1987–1989), but Players and Players Premier released over 100 titles across various platforms.

Players original titles included Anfractuos, Auriga, Auto Zone, Big Top Barney, Bubble Trouble, Cagara, Cerberus, The Claws of Despair, Clean Up Time, Crime Busters, Cybernation, Denizen, Desert Hawk, Deviants, Dizzy Dice, Doodlebug, Elektrix, European Soccer Challenge, Fungus, Fruity, Joe Blade, Joe Blade II, Journey to the Centre of Eddie Smith's Head, Killapede, LA Drugs Bust, Lop Ears, Matt Lucas, Metal Army, Miami Cobra GT, Nuclear Heist, Psycho City, Radius, Reflex, Riding the Rapids, Ronald Rubberduck, The Serf's Tale, Shanghai Karate, Shanghai Warriors, Shrewsbury Key, Skateboard Construction System, Street Gang, Super Nova, Swamp Fever, Sword Slayer, Tanium, Thing!, Toadforce, Tomcat, Turbo Kart Racer, Varmit, Xanthius, and The Zacaron Mystery.

Players Premier original titles included Assault Course, Cobra Force, Deadly Evil, Elven Warrior, Havoc, Hawk Storm, Iron Soldier, Joe Blade III, Lost Caves, Mig Busters, Moving Target, Mutant Fortress, Operation Hanoi, Outlaw, Prison Riot, The Race, Roadburner, Saigon Combat Unit, Shark, 3D Snooker, Solar Empire, Spooked, Steel Eagle, Street Cred Boxing, Street Cred Football, Subway Vigilante, Super League, Task Force, Turbo Master, Velocipede, Velocipede II, War Machine, and World Cup Challenge.

In addition, both labels re-released various full price titles and various games and demos for magazine cover-mounted tapes, which Interceptor duplicated for various computer magazines.

The Pandora label
In 1987 Interceptor launched Pandora, a new premium-priced label. Pandora released several games for 8- and 16-bit computers. Its first and most successful title was Into the Eagle's Nest, a Gauntlet style burst-scroller set in a Nazi occupied castle. Other titles included Galdregon's Domain (1988), Xenomorph (1990), Outlands (1989) and Debut (1990). It is believed Debut (a complex planet simulator coupled with a side-scroller action element) was one of the last titles to be published under the Pandora label, in December 1990.

The Fun Factory label
In 1991 and 1992, during the waning days of the company several Atari ST and Amiga titles were released under the Fun Factory Brand. Titles included Twin Turbos (1991), Rebellion (1992), Slackskin and Flint (1992).

People
Richard Jones was the public face of the company, and all published titles credited him as producer. Due to his youth, ambition and love of fast cars he often appeared on local television and in the papers during the early years. However, Julian was the company mainstay, working long hours, often on the factory floor, building the company.

Interceptor worked with various programmers, artists, and musicians over the years, relying mostly on freelance talent but also employing a number of up and coming in-house coders.

Foremost amongst the in-house programmers were Andrew Challis and Kevin Parker. Apart from developing original titles and porting existing games to other platforms they also developed custom "loaders" and produced the tape masters for the duplication of Interceptor and other companies titles. Interceptor pioneered "loada-games" across multiple platforms, not just the C64 (see the Spectrum version of Joe Blade 2). These were a series of mini games that you could play while the main game continued to load from tape. While technically clever, this occasionally resulted in customers returning product mistaking the loada-game for the advertised content.

Other in-house developers included Andrew Severn (last spotted as producer of Gun for Nethersoft), Martin (Jabba) Severn (last spotted working for Pumpkin Studios), Gary Biasillo, Steve Briggs, Chris Johnson (who later worked for SEGA in San Francisco and as a Lead Producer at Zynga), Mike Brown, Paul Griffiths, Robin Chapman and Colin Swinbourne (last spotted at Nice Tech). Brian Leake and Mark Davidson, who briefly worked on-site during the development of Debut, followed their careers in the USA; Brian was last spotted at The Walt Disney Company in California, and Mark at Destineer in North Carolina.

Prolific freelance Interceptor programmers Richard Robinson & Keith Harvey (AKA 'Howlin' Mad', also known as 'Mirai') went on to form the multimedia futurist band "Intelligentsia" in Tokyo, and Earth Academy Records in London, both working in TV Media and the progressive arts.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jrielaecher. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jrielaecher~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

Talk:Scarborough F.C.

Requested move
Virtually all football club pages on WP have "F.C." abbreviated in the title (see Category:English football clubs) apart from this one, please move for standardisation's sake. Qwghlm 23:24, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

PS It can't be done the normal way, as the redirect at Scarborough F.C. used to be a stub, before being merged into this page.

Just wanted to request confirmation that the above is no longer at Scarborough. Soccerbase states otherwise. Please post any replies on my talk page. Thanks. - Dudesleeper · Talk 20:19, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Dissolution
Just wanted to inform you that there are no players at all any more as the club is no longer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.129.112.205 (talk • contribs)

Squad/Staff
I am very doubtful about the merit in keeping these two sections. It is not normal to keep squad lists from earlier seasons and the staff section is more detailed than usual. BlueValour 20:08, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Potential Removal of Squad & Staff Lists
As someone else said "I am very doubtful about the merit in keeping these two sections. It is not normal to keep squad lists from earlier seasons and the staff section is more detailed than usual". If agreed I believe they should be removed.Randomjack 08:44, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Decision carried then, as it seems not too many people are bothered! I will remove them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randomjack (talk • contribs)

North Yorkshire
Like it or not, North Yorkshire is the correct administrative area, not the North Riding, and since this is an encyclopaedia we have to be factually correct. BlueValour 14:38, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Merge in of List of Scarborough F.C. players
Sorry; I see no need for this separate page. The content fits just fine in the main article. BlueValour (talk) 02:00, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It's is need of expansion, which I should be able to carry out soon with this. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 07:53, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Nav box
Hi there,

The Scarborough F.C. Navigation box links to North Marine Road. The box is rightly appended on the North Marine Road article, but the article itself makes no mention of any football matches being played there. Does anyone fancy adding a little bit? I was looking into the cricket ground etc, and saw the football nav-box and got a bit confused. In fact I even wondered if the link was pointing to the right article. Scarborough F.C. states that the football club played some matches at the cricket ground, so that is fine, but I feel it should be clear in both articles.
