Category talk:Obsolete calendars

Maya calendar
this is really stupid to put the mayan calendar on this list since it is use world wide by millions, it may officaly be obsolete but that will be changing in the next 7 years — 68.144.145.182 12:14, 5 October 2005

 * Thanks. The Maya calendar is still used by all Maya Indians in Mesoamerica—only its Long Count is no longer used. I am removing it from the category. — Joe Kress 04:37, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Merging with Category:Specific calendars
Whaddaya think about merging this category with the category "Specific calendars"? (And, how do you insert a link to a Category:?) There are a few calendars on that list that may be considered "obsolete," too, and I'd think it'd be easy enough for users to determine for themselves which may be obsolete. Even the French Republican Calendar mentioned here might not be considered obsolete--the main article states that "Some enthusiasts in France still use the calendar, more out of historical re-enactment than practicality. Some legal texts that were adopted when the Republican Calendar was official are still in force in France and have kept their original dates for citation purposes."

Nury Vittachi
Moved Vittachi to Nury Vittachi. Actually, 100% certainly seems like a consensus to me. :) In cases as straightforward as this, a listing at Requested moves isn't really necessary anyway:  any logged-in user can move an "obviously" wrongly titled article, provided there's no clash at the move target.  Alai 16:15, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Of course, I'd forgotten about that restriction! It's not really designed to stop "newbies" as such, but is a recent measure to try to thwart a certain notorious page-move vandal. Keep making those vital spelling corrections, and you'll be "in good standing" in no time, and able to make all the moves ypu like. :) Alai 04:27, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Zabriskie picture
The thing is, Frank Steele is already attributed - as is his right of course - in the Image:David zabriskie portrait.jpg page. I have no real qualms about it, it was just a reflex deletion as it looked like selfpromotion. So this seems like a good compromise :) Poulsen 13:36, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Stuart O'Grady Photo
I NEVER gave my permission for my copyrighted photo of Stuart O'Grady to be used. I only rececived an email telling me that you were using my photo. Sorry, but I am not giving you permission to use any of my photos, ever. Do not repost my photo. Do not use any of my photos, period. - Alden Tanaka

Kelly says: He probably shouldn't have used the Creative Commons license on his photos then. Fixed! Quite a pity really, because it is a great photo.

If you are really the copyright holder, then please change the license of the image at the source (Flickr), such that it is compatible with WP license (BY or SA). The source of the file is still not compatible. It is now CC-BY-ND-2.0. If you don't change this license at the source, then I have to revert back your image license to the same license as the source. — Indon ( reply ) — 02:54, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

CSC/Puerto
I just think you forgot to close the ref again, with a tag, and the ref didn't stop until the next tag, at Cuesta's ref. I think the Puerto article is a little messy, some subsections might be a good thing, plus it has refs in that one section header, which should be cleaned. Poulsen 11:40, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

 * That sounds good! I tried reading through a few refs but couldn't find the exact facts needed myself. Poulsen 13:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Lotto et al
I've been doing research, which is quite difficult due to the lack of English language sources, but I have been using the websites Cycling4all and Cyclingnews, to try to trace them back. Cycling4all is very good, but I don't think it qualifies as a reliable source so haven't referenced it. Anyway, as I understand, Lotto-Domo was a new team in 2002, mainly built upon Lotto-Adecco, and using a lot of Domo-Farm Frites staff and riders too. I think because they were different teams they deserve their own articles. I think we need a wider debate on when teams qualify for new articles - I'll start one at the Project talk page... Mk3severo 00:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Changed the infobox on the Robbie McEwen page to the new one - slight change of picture order, please do revert the pictures if you feel it's better. I also started a discussion on how team pages should look here. Mk3severo 01:13, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

UCI press releases
UCI press releases always seem to be final - until two weeks later when a new final one is issued ;) Remember during the summer/autumn that the UCI said that Active Bay would have a ProTour licence and that Astana had no chance after missing a deadline? I think we'll just have to see when it all shakes out! Mk3severo 12:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The news sites say that Fuerteventura-Canarias (which is based on the set-up of the old Communitat Valenciana team), Aurum Hotels (which used to be Naturino-Sapore Di Mare) and Team L.P.R. (or whatever it will be called having merged with Team 3C Casalinghi Jet Androni Giocattoli, the team of Davide Boifava) applied for licences but did not receive them (they only speculated why, there isn't a strict limit on the number of ProConti teams). Also I'm confused with what has happened to the Miche team - they seem to have just disappeared as none of the news sites have anything about them and they don't have a licence! The only thing I can think of is that they have something to do with the Tinkoff Credit Systems team... Very strange Mk3severo 02:56, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Team CSC
I don't think it was a good idea to remove all the individual references to riders entering or extending their contracts, they contained additional information (such as what the riders and teams expectation were) that might be of interest the reader.--Per Abrahamsen 11:50, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I think you removed the stuff from this page and put it elsewhere. I'm just not sure if maybe there needs to be a link on the page directing the reader to it. I couldn't see one. I may quite well have missed it and admit I wasn't up to wading through all the talk page. SuzanneKn 21:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Jean shrimpton.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jean shrimpton.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:31, 19 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure NNDB doesn't actually own that photo, so we don't actually have the original source or copyright holder. Kelvinc 02:31, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Jean Shrimpton
Thanks. I think that the Bazzar's cover would work well, and I defer to your greater knowledge on the subject for this one. Officially magazine covers aren't fair use for just depicting the subject, but since this one is obviously quite well-recognized, it's good for the article and the facial recognition would be an added perk. ;)

Yah Wikipedia's been a lot more stringent on copyrights now than it has before, and after going through the process of securing the release of the photo currently at Yésica Toscanini, I appreciated a whole lot more the difficulty of the process. So I started to rummage through other articles on models to see how many people took the easy way out and just slapped on a "fair use" sticker on copyrighted photos. I thank you for your friendly and helpful attitude: it's a lot better than the occasion where my fair use disputed of an image and removal of said image from an article were just reverted by the uploader. Kelvinc 23:49, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

New Norcia, Western Australia
I'm new to Wikipedia and still learning, hence no explanation about the text I removed from the article yesterday. I removed the "Abbey" section as it was verbatim the text from the Old Catholic Encyclopedia, the link for which already appeared in the article. I thought the link was sufficient, with no need for the text to appear as well. Rjw9459 12:25, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Commons
Please note that in order to have an image speedy deleted at Commons you must place the speedy deletion template on the Commons image page, not the one here. Wikipedia admins aren't necessarily admins there (I'm not) and can't delete images there. See Commons:Commons:Deletion guidelines for more information. Thanks. Chick Bowen 04:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

2008 UCI ProTeams
I done a bit of work on this at the 2008 UCI ProTour page yesterday actually. There seems to be a few minor changes, Ag2r are changing the sub-sponsor, Saunier Duval seems to be dropping Prodir as a sponsor. Also, who knows, maybe High Road will have a sponsor before the year is out? Unibet seem to have dropped out, their licence is being withdrawn. This is the link for everything, but we'll have to wait another month for everything to be official! SeveroTC 10:38, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Traditional Nordic dance music

Traditional Nordic dance music is a type of traditional music or folk music that once was common in the mainland part of the Nordic countries — Scandinavia plus Finland. The person who plays this kind of music might be called speleman (Swedish/Norwegian), spelman (Swedish), spel(l)emann (Norwegian), pelimanni (Finnish) or spillemand (Danish). Finnish traditional dance music is often called pelimanni music in English, while there does not seem to exist a similar, widespread term for the corresponding music from the other countries. It is often more meaningful to distinguish between the traditional dance music from different regions than between music from the countries as such. Some concepts in the field can be defined as Norwegian or Finnish, but most are either common to all four countries or local. Besides the dance music tradition, all countries also have other traditions of folk music that are not shared to a similar extent.

Nordic folk dance music consists of various dance rhythms that do not originate in the Nordic countries but once were the fashion dances among the European nobility. With time these dances spread to common people, and in some cases they remained there long after the nobility had exchanged them for new fashionable dances. Many of these rhythms can also be found in other parts of Europe, and some of them have also been used in classical music.

The majority of the tunes are in minor keys. Traditionally, there were many tunes in keys that can not be classified as either minor or major (Modes). Traces of this still exist, but most of that disappeared when the accordion became popular. The majority of the dances that go with this music are partner dances, though exceptions do exist. Such exceptions include the minuets that are common in some parts of Finland and that can also be found in parts of Sweden, the solo-dance halling, generally considered typically Norwegian but also found in parts of Sweden, and the Finnish quadrille danced by several couples in formation. The most common dance rhythm is the polska. It is in 3/4 (three beats to the bar). In the most common polskas, the third beat is accentuated as well as the first. There are many local versions of the polska rhythm, and generally local variations of the accompanying dance correspond to these differences, though many of these local dances have disappeared. The schottische, also known as reinlender, polka and waltz are other common dance rhythms. In addition there are many other more uncommon dance rhythms (e.g. the anglais), despite a small number of surviving tunes.

The most typical instrument is the fiddle. In most cases normal violins are used, but there are exceptions such as the hardingfele, used in parts of Norway, which has a set of sympathetic strings in addition to the normal four strings. Another unique instrument, the nyckelharpa (keyed fiddle), probably once existed in a large part of Europe, but survived until modern times only in Sweden. Other instruments that were used traditionally were simple clarinets, and later accordions. The Swedish säckpipa is, as well as older types of nyckelharpa and hurdy-gurdy, a link to the older traditions of drone music. Contemporary Nordic traditional dance musicians might also use other less traditional instruments, as well as writing new tunes in the old style.

Generic Array Logic

The Generic Array Logic (also known as GAL and sometimes as gate array logic ) device was an innovation of the PAL and was invented by Lattice Semiconductor. The GAL was an improvement on the PAL because one device type was able to take the place of many PAL device types or could even have functionality not covered by the original range of PAL devices. Its primary benefit, however, was that it was erasable and re-programmable, making prototyping and design changes easier for engineers.

A similar device called a PEEL (programmable electrically erasable logic) was introduced by the International CMOS Technology (ICT) corporation.

Nicanor (Antipatrid general)

Nicanor (Nικάνωρ Nīkā́nōr; executed 317 BC) was a Macedonian officer who served the Diadochus Cassander and the son in law of Aristotle. He campaigned on Cassander's behalf in Attica and Hellespont during the early Wars of the Diadochi, but was executed by Cassander after the latter suspected him of plotting a coup.

Career
According to A.B. Bosworth (Professor of Classics and Ancient History, The University of Western Australia), Nicanor was a son of Balacrus and Phila, making him both the son in law and adopted son of Aristotle. During the Olympic Games of 324 BC, Nicanor acted as the representative of Alexander the Great reading a proclamation that ordered Greek city states to welcome back people they had sent into exile.

During the Wars of the Diadochi, Nicanor served as an officer of Cassander who dispatched him immediately on the death of Antipater in 319 BC to replace Menyllus as commander of the Macedonian garrison at Munychia in Attica. He arrived to Athens shortly after the regent of the Macedon, Polyperchon, issued a decree blaming Antipater for the problems faced by the Greek city states and ordering the return of exiles who opposed him. The decree spurred many Athenians to get rid of the Macedonian garrison in Munychia and Nicanor. When Nicanor took part in an assembly of the Athenians in Piraeus, Athenian general Dercylus proposed arresting Nicanor but the latter's friend Phocion intervened on his behalf.

When the Ecclesia ordered Phocion to dislodge Nicanor from Munychia he delayed taking any action. Nicanor used this connections to begin negotiations with the Athenians, who demanded the withdrawal of the Macedonian garrison from Munychia, in line with the decree that had been issued by Polyperchon.

Nicanor deluded the Athenians with false hopes. Instead of surrendering Munychia, he took the opportunity to surprise the inhabitants of Piraeus, occupying it with a strong garrison. Nicanor declared his intention to hold both fortresses for Cassander. Alexander the Great's mother, Olympias, at this time on friendly terms with the regent, commanding Nicanor to withdraw his troops, but with no success. Similarly, Alexander, the son of Polyperchon, who arrived in Attica the following spring (318 BC), at the head of a considerable army, was ineffective in persuading Nicanor to withdraw from the fortresses. Polyperchon accused Phocion of being a traitor and he was sentenced to death along with his supporters in May 318 BC. An assault on Pireaus by Polyperchon was repelled.

Shortly afterwards, Cassander arrived with a fleet of ships given to him by his ally Antigonus, and Nicanor gave him possession of Piraeus and Munychia. Nicanor was quickly dispatched by Cassander with the fleet to the Hellespont, where he was joined by the forces of Antigonus, while Polyperchon was campaigning in the Peloponnese. In July 317 BC, Nicanor was defeated by Cleitus, Polyperchon's admiral, in a naval battle in the Bosporus. However, during the night Antigonus crossed the straits into Europe and at dawn attacked and destroyed Cleitus' army while Nicanor surprised the enemy fleet and also gained a complete victory by destroying or capturing almost all of the enemy's fleet (see: Battle of Byzantium). Polyperchon suffered another devastating defeat at Megalopolis and his allies began defecting to Cassander. Cassander captured Aegina, Salamina and the Panaktos fort, gradually encircling Athens. In the summer of 317 BC, the Athenians now under Demetrius of Phalerum allied themselves with Cassander.

Death
After these events, Nicanor's influence grew to the extent that he incurred Cassander's suspicion that he was aiming to take power for himself. As a result, Cassander decided to rid himself of Nicanor. Cassander succeeded by treachery in capturing Nicanor. Cassander then arranged to have Nicanor put to death, after undergoing a form of trial before the Macedonian Army.

Asterix and the Secret Weapon

Asterix and the Secret Weapon is the twenty-ninth volume of the Asterix comic book series and the fifth by Albert Uderzo alone. It parodies feminism, gender equality/relationships, and military secrets.

Plot summary
The story begins when a female bard named Bravura is being hired by the women of the village, who think that Cacofonix is giving their children a poor education. Upon hearing this, Cacofonix secludes himself in the forest nearby. When Bravura arrives, the women are stunned by her singing and the men laugh at it; much to her annoyance. Over the next few days, Bravura exhorts Impedimenta (and later other village women) to resist the authority of her husband. Impedimenta then quarrels with Vitalstatistix, who joins Cacofonix in the forest. Impedimenta is then made chief by the women, while the men do not dare vote against their wives.

Meanwhile, Julius Caesar, to take over the village, sends his agent Manlius Claphamomnibus, with orders to bring the "secret weapon" over the ocean discreetly. At the village, Bravura's reforms spread discord among all the locals. Asterix, troubled by all of this from the start, is approached by Bravura, who offers to marry him and assume joint chieftainship; whereupon Asterix accuses her of coming to the village to seize power. When she kisses him, Asterix hits her reflexively, but feels shame and regret immediately after. For striking a woman, Impedimenta expels Asterix from the village; when Getafix objects to this, Bravura insults him. Immediately, Getafix and the other village men join Vitalstatistix in the forest.

Claphamomnibus's ship lands at Gaul, and he reveals the secret weapon: female legionaries, whom the Gaulish men would refuse to fight for fear of being dishonored. Asterix, when he learns of this, is sent to warn the village women of the threat. Bravura suggests making peace, and goes to meet the female legionaries herself. However, she is refused, and Claphamomnibus insults her. At this, Asterix approaches Bravura with a plan. His initial step is to have Cacofonix sing onomatopoeia in the forest, causing rain and scaring all animals (in one scene exposing a dragon), which in turn terrifies the female Roman scout parties and delays their assault. When the Roman women eventually attack the village, they find that Bravura has converted the village into a shopping mall where the women can buy clothes and get their hair and makeup done. In the meantime, the men of the village defeat the male soldiers stationed around the village; and finally, Cacofonix sings again to expel the women. Julius Caesar is made the laughing stock of Rome, and Bravura leaves for Lutetia, reconciled with Asterix.

Commentary

 * The original French title is La Rose et le Glaive (The Rose and the Sword). The word glaive in French is used to designate both a Roman gladius and a long spear with a shaped blade on the end, though the cover design shows a sword. The French title may refer to 1953 film "The Sword and the Rose", and possibly also Paul Verhoeven's gruesome medieval film "Flesh & Blood" (1985) which is also known as "The Rose and the Sword".
 * The name of the Roman official, Manlius Claphamomnibus, is a pun on the English expression "the man on the Clapham omnibus"—a legal term for a reasonably educated and intelligent but non-specialist person, an everyday person against whom a defendant's conduct might be judged in a court of law.
 * Cacofonix at last gets to beat up Fulliautomatix (instead of vice versa), and for the second time since Asterix and the Magic Carpet the Bard is seen inflicting violence.
 * It borrows plot elements and visual gags from a large number of previous albums, including:
 * Sending Obelix back to school from Asterix and the Class Act
 * Bard sweeping old musical notes out of the tree house (which fall on passersby below) from Asterix and the Goths
 * Using female legionaries to defeat the chivalrous Gauls from Asterix as you've never seen him
 * Animals fleeing the bard's song: we see the same scene as in Asterix and the Normans including a turtle running on its hind legs
 * Cacofonix's singing causes rain as in Asterix and the Magic Carpet.
 * The village children (with conflict between Unhygenix' and Fulliautomatix') from Asterix in Corsica
 * An outsider causing an election to replace the chief from Asterix and Caesar's Gift
 * This is the second album in which Asterix is exiled, the first being Asterix and the Cauldron.
 * In Dutch the title "The Secret Weapon" would translate to "Het Geheime Wapen" which is actually the Dutch title for Asterix and the Falling Sky
 * When Cacofonix leaves the village, he quotes one of Nero's famous last words, "Qualis artifex pereo" ("What an artist dies with me"). This precedes Nero's citation before his suicide by 118 years.

New Pudsey railway station

New Pudsey railway station serves the towns of Farsley and Pudsey in West Yorkshire, England, on the Calder Valley line. It serves the adjacent suburb of Thornbury.

Facilities
The station is staffed, and the ticket office is open from 05:55 to 19:00 on Mondays to Saturdays. A ticket machine is also available. Step-free access from the booking office to both platforms is provided via ramps to the footbridge that links them. Train running information is available via passenger information screens and P.A announcements. The platforms are long enough to accommodate Intercity trains, and there is a large car park to the south of the station.

New Pudsey was originally served by occasional through trains from Bradford Interchange to London Kings Cross. However, after electrification of the East Coast Main Line, through services were routed via Shipley to Bradford Forster Square.

History
Pudsey was originally served by a short branch line running from Stanningley railway station to Pudsey Greenside opened in 1878 by the Great Northern Railway. In 1893 the line was extended through Greenside Tunnel to Laisterdyke, the original curve from Stanningley closed, and another (90°) curve to Bramley opened forming the Pudsey loop line railway. There were two stations on the loop, Pudsey Lowtown and Pudsey Greenside, conveniently located at either end of the town centre. Both closed on 15 June 1964 as a result of the Beeching Axe.

This station opened by British Rail on 6 March 1967 and is located in Farsley about 1 mi north-west of Pudsey town centre. It was opened as a 'new' station for Pudsey; there is no place called New Pudsey.

The station is situated just under a mile west of the location of the former Stanningley railway station (formerly Stanningley for Farsley), which closed on 1 January 1968, having supposedly been replaced by New Pudsey, although the two catchment areas were largely different.

New Pudsey was one of the first railway stations to be specifically built as a railway station for motorists, being situated on the convergence of several main roads and the ring road, and after opening was featured in a film by British Transport Films for this reason. The 13 minute film was called Rail Report 8: The New Tradition (1968).

Eastbound
During Monday to Saturday daytimes, there are four trains an hour to Leeds; in the evenings this service runs twice hourly. One train each hour continues beyond Leeds to York and a second to Selby. On Sundays there is a thrice hourly service with one train each hour continuing to York. From the winter 2019 timetable change, a new service to Hull via Selby has been introduced in place of the former Huddersfield - Bradford - Leeds service (which now only runs on Sundays), restoring through journey opportunities to local stations east of Leeds that were removed in December 2018.

Westbound
During Monday to Saturday daytimes there are four trains an hour to Bradford Interchange and Halifax. Two trains each hour continue to Manchester Victoria (one limited stop, the other serving all stations to Todmorden, then Rochdale only and now running through to Chester), one runs to Blackpool North via Blackburn and one terminates at Halifax. The service is thrice-hourly in the evenings with two trains per hour running to Manchester Victoria (one to Chester) and to Blackpool North. From the December 2019 timetable change, Huddersfield passengers now need to change at Bradford as the current through service has been curtailed there on weekdays and Saturdays (though the overall service pattern will remain unchanged, with a Hull to Halifax service taking its place). On Sundays, there are four trains per hour - two to Manchester and one Blackpool North and Huddersfield. One of the Manchester trains now runs through to Chester.

Transport links
The next bus stops are on Stanningley Bypass (express services between Bradford and Leeds and local services between Pudsey Owlcotes Centre and Leeds), in Bradford Road (services to Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax). A stop of the frequent service between Pudsey and Seacroft is located at the corner of Bradford Road and Old Road, approximately 0.4 miles from the station.

New Pudsey Station on television
The station was featured in a 1969 Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch (Science Fiction Sketch/Man Turns Into Scotsman) in which Harold Potter (Michael Palin) is turned into a Scotsman by creatures from the planet Skyron in the galaxy of Andromeda. Graham Chapman and Eric Idle (with Idle in drag) briefly appear on Platform 1 early in the sketch as Mr and Mrs Samuel Brainsample. After the camera pans off Chapman and Idle, Palin is shown walking up the ramp from the platform toward town. At the beginning of the sketch reference is made to the alien visitors coming "to conquer and destroy the very heart of civilisation", with a fade-in to the sign reading "New Pudsey". Laughter follows.

Asterix and Obelix All at Sea

Asterix and Obelix All at Sea (La Galère d'Obélix, "Obelix's galley [ship]") is the thirtieth volume of the Asterix comic book series, by Albert Uderzo. The album was dedicated to Uderzo's grandchild, as well as to the American actor Kirk Douglas.

Plot summary
A band of slaves led by Spartakis (a parody of Spartacus) has taken over Julius Caesar's personal galley, prompting Caesar to send his Admiral Crustacius to recover the vessel.

After some arguing about a safe place to disembark, the slaves set sail for the only place safe from the Romans: the village of indomitable Gauls. The four outlying Roman camps rehearse a parade to welcome Crustacius, who is pursuing the slaves. Believing the Romans are about to attack, the Gauls prepare for battle. Obelix is (as usual) denied Getafix's magic potion and sulks off. When Asterix asks Getafix why he denies Obelix a serving, Getafix replies that too much of the potion may incur side effects beyond his knowledge. As the Gauls return victorious, they find Obelix has turned to stone after drinking a remaining cauldron of magic potion.

The former galley slaves are granted refuge, while Getafix tries to revive Obelix. Ultimately Obelix returns to life, but as a child and deprived of his usual strength. He is kidnapped by Roman soldiers and put on a ship bound for Rome, where Crustacius intends to use him as a bargaining counter for the return of Caesar's galley. Asterix, Dogmatix, Getafix and the former slaves set out in pursuit and rescue Obelix at sea. Crustacius and his adjutant Vice-Admiral Nautilus, as well as Caesar's galley, are handed over to the pirates, who plan to ransom them to Caesar. Spartakis and his crew take the Gauls to Atlantis (the Canary Islands), but the Atlanteans, despite having the secret of eternal youth, cannot restore Obelix's adulthood. The Gauls head homeward, while the freed slaves remain on Atlantis as children forever.

On Caesar's galley, the pirates unwittingly give Crustacius a dose of magic potion from a barrel inadvertently left behind by Getafix. He expels the pirates and plans on using his new strength to usurp Caesar; however, he makes the same mistake as Obelix and becomes a statue. Nautilus's ambition of obtaining a promotion for bringing back the galley is dashed when he forgets to remove the Jolly Roger flag upon approaching Rome's harbour and the vessel is attacked and sinks. On their way back, the Gauls are intercepted by another Roman galley and Asterix is knocked unconscious by a catapult stone. Seeing his friend about to be thrown to the sharks, Obelix recovers his strength and size, and rescues him. Obelix then propels the galley into the Roman camp of Aquarium, before returning to the village for a feast. The statue of Crustacius is installed in the Circus Maximus, while Nautilus and his crew are reduced to sweeping the arena. Asked by Cleopatra why he has erected a statue to commemorate his incompetent admiral, Caesar replies that although lions do not eat granite, things may change some day.

Asterix and the Actress

Asterix and the Actress (Astérix et Latraviata, "Asterix and Latraviata") is the 31st volume of the Asterix comic book series, written and illustrated by Albert Uderzo.

Plot summary
Asterix and Obelix receive a surprise birthday visit from their mothers, who have come from Condatum, bringing a Roman sword and helmet as presents. The mothers soon fuss over why their sons are still unmarried. Their efforts to find matrimonial matches for them go unappreciated.

Meanwhile, Asterix and Obelix's fathers, who run a "modernities" store in Condatum, are arrested because an alcoholic veteran legionary, Tremensdelirius from Asterix and Caesar's Gift, had sold them the sword and helmet of Caesar's rival Pompey, who now wants them back, but the two items were gifted to Asterix and Obelix. Pompey sends a gifted actress, Latraviata, disguised as Panacea, Obelix's love interest and escorted by a Roman agent, Fastandfurious, to infiltrate the Gaulish village and retrieve Pompey's belongings.

The real Panacea and her husband Tragicomix, upon learning that Asterix and Obelix's fathers have been imprisoned by Pompey, set out for the Gaulish village to alert their friends. On their way, they run into Latraviata and Fastandfurious, who have left the village with Pompey's sword and helmet, and the subterfuge is exposed. Asterix and Obelix catch up with them, and Fastandfurious is hit with a menhir, whose impact causes him to lose his memory. Asterix and Obelix then go to Condatum to free their fathers, while Tragicomix apprehends Pompey and hands him over to Caesar. Caesar presents a statue of himself to Asterix, who hands it over to Latraviata for her outstanding acting performance, resulting in a joke about the first César Award.

Anders Andersson (footballer)

Per Anders Andersson (born 15 March 1974) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder. Starting off his career with Malmö FF in the early 1990s, Andersson went on to play professionally in England, Denmark, and Portugal before returning to Malmö in 2005 to finish up his career. A full international between 1994 and 2005, Andersson won 27 caps for the Sweden national team and represented them at UEFA Euro 2000 and 2004. He was also a squad player for the Sweden Olympic football team at the 1992 Summer Olympics.

Club career
Born in Tomelilla, Andersson played for Svenstorps IF as a child, but joined Malmö FF in 1990. He gradually became a star in the Allsvenskan, and was bought by English Premier League outfit Blackburn Rovers. There, he played four league matches, and scored once against Preston North End in the League Cup. He went on to play in Denmark and Portugal for Benfica, and returned to Malmö FF in July 2005. He remained in the club until the end of the 2008 season, when the team decided not to extend Anders contract. The news was received with dismay among Malmö supporters, and Anders himself has written about the situation at his blog at local newspaper Skånska Dagbladet. He later decided to retire from football, ending speculation that he might've been heading to local rivals Trelleborg.

Youth
After having represented the Sweden U17, U19, and U21 teams, Andersson was selected to represent the Sweden Olympic football team at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.

Senior
Andersson made his senior debut for the Sweden national team in a friendly game against Mexico on 24 February 1994. He scored his first international goal in a 1–0 King's Cup win against Japan on 13 February 1997. He was a squad player for Sweden at UEFA Euro 2000, and came in from the bench in a group stage 0–0 draw against Turkey before Sweden failed to advance to the second round. Four years later, he was a squad player for Sweden at UEFA Euro 2004 and started in the final group stage game against Denmark, before Sweden was eliminated in the quarter finals by the Netherlands.

Andersson made his last international appearance on 9 February 2005 in a 1–1 draw with France. He won a total of 27 caps, scoring 3 goals.

Sicangu

The Sicangu are one of the seven oyates, nations or council fires, of Lakota people, an Indigenous people of the Northern Plains. Today, many Sicangu people are enrolled citizens of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe of the Rosebud Indian Reservation and Lower Brule Sioux Tribe of the Lower Brule Reservation in South Dakota.

Distribution
Many Sičhą́ǧu people live on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in southwestern South Dakota and are enrolled in the federally recognized Rosebud Sioux Tribe, also known in Lakȟóta as the Sičhą́ǧu Oyáte. A smaller population lives on the Lower Brule Indian Reservation, on the west bank of the Missouri River in central South Dakota, and on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, also in South Dakota, directly west of the Rosebud Indian Reservation. The different federally recognized tribes are politically independent of each other.

Name
The Sicangu Lakota are known as Sičhą́ǧu Oyáte in Lakȟóta, which translates to "Burnt Thighs Nation". Learning the meaning of their name, the French called them the Brûlé, also Brulé, meaning "burnt". The name may have derived from an incident where they were fleeing through a grass fire on the plains.

The term "Sičhą́ǧu" appears on pages 3 to 14 of Beginning Lakhóta.

"Ká Lakȟóta kį líla hą́ske. 'That Indian (over yonder) is very tall.'"

"Hą, hé Sičhą́ǧú. 'Yes, that's a Rosebud Sioux.'"

It appears to be a compound word of the Thítȟųwą Lakȟóta dialect, meaning "burned thigh".

Historic Sicangu Thiyóšpaye or bands
Together with the Oglála Lakȟóta, who are mostly based at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, they are often called Southern Lakȟóta.

They were divided in three great regional tribal divisions:

 * Lower Brulé (Khúl Wičháša Oyáte, "Lowland People", lived along the White River to its mouth at the Missouri River (Mnišóše) as well in the Missouri River Valley in South Dakota; some ventured south to the Niobrara River).
 * Upper Brulé (Ȟeyáta Wičháša Oyáte - ″Highland People″, ventured further south and west onto the Plains along the Platte River between the North and South Platte River in Nebraska in the search for buffalo. The allied Southern Cheyenne and Southern Arapaho welcomed them as strong allies to this lands which they had further claimed, along the Loup River - the former center of the Skidi Pawnee. They went south to plunder enemy Pawnee and Arikara camps, and were therefore also known as: Kheyatawhichasha - ″People away from the (Missouri) River″)
 * (Upper) Brulé of the Platte River (a splinter group of the Upper Brulé and the southernmost Sicangu group, generally along the South Platte River in Colorado, with hunting bands south to the Republican River - home to the enemy Kithehaki / Kitkehaxki of the South Bands Pawnee, also known as: Kheyatawhichasha - ″People away from the (Missouri) River″)

According to the Sicangu Medicine Bull (Tatȟą́ka Wakȟą́), the people were decentralized and identified with the following thiyóšpaye, or extended family groups, who collected in various local thiwáhe (English: camps or family circles):

 * Apewantanka
 * Chokatowela
 * Ihanktonwan
 * Iyakoza
 * Kanghi yuha
 * Nakhpakhpa
 * Pispiza wichasha
 * Shawala
 * Shiyolanka
 * Wacheunpa
 * Waleghaunwohan

Ethnobotany
The Sicangu give pulverized roots of green comet milkweed (Asclepias viridiflora) to children with diarrhea. Nursing mothers take an infusion of the whole plant to increase their milk flow. They brew the leaves of prairie redroot (Ceanothus herbaceus) into a tea.

Notable Sicangu

 * Bob Barker Game Show Host
 * Pappy Boyington, WWII Marine Corps fighter ace and Medal of Honor recipient
 * Mary Brave Bird, author
 * Leonard Crow Dog, spiritual leader, American Indian Movement activist
 * Paul Eagle Star (1866-24 August 1891), performer with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show
 * Hollow Horn Bear, chief
 * Iron Nation, chief
 * Iron Shell, chief
 * Little Thunder, chief
 * Arnold Short Bull, a well-known Sicangu holy man, who brought the Ghost Dance to the Lakota in South Dakota in 1890
 * Lone Feather, Republican public administrator from South Dakota, first Lakota elected to the U.S. House of Representatives
 * Michael Spears, actor

Asterix and the Class Act

Asterix and the Class Act (Astérix et la rentrée gauloise, "Asterix and the Gaulish return; la rentrée is the French return to school after the summer break) is officially the thirty-second album of the Asterix comic book series, by René Goscinny (stories) and Albert Uderzo (illustrations and some stories), published in 2003. Unlike the other Asterix books, it is a compilation of short stories, rather than one long story. Each story has an introductory page giving some of its original history.

History
Only one of these stories ("Chanticleerix") is completely original in this album; the remainder are reprinted from earlier sources, most notably the French comic Pilote. The majority of these stories were written by Goscinny. "Chanticleerix", "The Lutetia Olympics" and "The Birth of Asterix" were written by Uderzo after Goscinny's death. "Springtime in Gaul" and "Asterix As You Have Never Seen Him Before..." were also written by Uderzo alone.

Most of these stories have had only very limited distribution prior to this publication. In the mid-1980s, a promotional collection of some of these stories appeared in a number of translations (but not English) as Astérix mini-histoires (Asterix Mini-Stories). In 1993 there was an earlier, smaller collection also called La Rentree Gauloise which was only available in French. It also contained a four page story called "L'Antiquaire" (The Antique Dealer) as filler which wasn't written by Goscinny, but drawn by Albert's brother Marcel Uderzo, does not fit with the other stories and contains two recycled and out-of-character villains. That story has not been reprinted, but otherwise "Class Act" is an expanded, updated version of this.

Introduction (Press Conference)
Originally an announcement page for Asterix and the Big Fight – Vitalstatistix holds a modern press conference for the upcoming stories (parodying the contemporary press conferences of then-president Charles de Gaulle).
 * (1964 – Conférence de presse) – 1 page. First published in Pilote #260; Appeared in "Astérix mini-histoires"

Asterix and the Class Act
Asterix and Obelix catch the village children for the start of the school year, but Obelix is put in class too when he shows ignorance of current affairs.
 * (1966 – Rentrée gauloise) – 2 pages. First published in Pilote #363; Appeared in the original "La Rentree Gauloise" and "Astérix mini-histoires"

The Birth of Asterix

 * (1994 – En 35 avant J.C. (Julius Caesar)) – 4 pages. Published in the 35th anniversary special of Pilote (the first Asterix story began in the first issue).

In 50 BC
Introduction to the stories (done for the American market): gives a synopsis of the themes and principal characters.
 * (1977 – En 50 avant J.C.) – 3 pages. First published in the May 1977 issue of National Geographic Magazine for an article on the history of Celtic people. Appeared in the original "La Rentree Gauloise" and "Astérix mini-histoires"

 * (2003 – Chanteclairix – Le Coq Gaulois) – 5 pages. New with this album.

For Gaul Lang Syne
Obelix tries to use Gaulish customs to get a kiss from Panacea, but fails, and the kiss is instead won by Dogmatix.
 * (1967 – Au gui l'an IX) – 2 pages. First published in Pilote #424. Appeared in the original "La Rentree Gauloise" and "Astérix mini-histoires"

Mini Midi Maxi

 * (1971 – Mini, Midi, Maxi) – 2 pages. Done for French women's magazine "Elle" #1337. Appeared in the original "La Rentree Gauloise" and "Astérix mini-histoires"

Asterix As You Have Never Seen Him Before...
This is a mockery of the more outrageous "suggestions" made by readers, allowing Uderzo to show his facility with different styles of illustration:
 * black and white, simplistic line drawings and telegram-type text in a very short story satirizing Asterix and the Great Crossing (following a reader's complaint - also in telegram text - that the Asterix stories were too long and complicated),
 * using flowers on female legionaries in a story drawn in a psychedelic style (following a reader's complaint that the Asterix stories were too male and too dull),
 * in a quasi-modernized one-panel plot in which Getafix has constructed modern firearms (which Asterix and Obelix do not know how to use properly), Asterix is telephoning Getafix, and where the word "like" is constantly dropped into their speech (after a reader had written a letter punctuated with the word "like" to Goscinny, complaining that the characters looked weird and old fashioned),
 * fighting aliens on a distant planet as Jim Asteryx (after a Flash Gordon fan had called the comics mediocre).
 * Last of all, Goscinny and Uderzo write a message saying that as they are the authors, they should be allowed to draw Asterix as they wish, and so draw a picture of him and Obelix wearing plus-fours (a put-on of Tintin), much to Asterix and Obelix's fury.
 * (1969 – Amicales coopérations) – 3 pages. First published in Pilote #527.

The Lutetia Olympics
For the honour of Gaul, Asterix and Obelix help Lutetia (ancient Paris) win the chance to host the ancient Olympic Games by acting as security for the event.

The Mascot
Some unlucky Romans try to take Dogmatix as their "lucky" mascot, which brings Asterix and Obelix's vengeance down on them.
 * (1968 – La mascotte) – 4 pages. First Published in Pilote "Super Pocket 1". Appeared in the original "La Rentree Gauloise" and "Astérix mini-histoires"

Latinamania
A joke on modern French anxiety over the bastardization of the French language (cf. Franglais) shows the Gauls using Latin loanwords.

The Obelix Family Tree
The authors find a modern descendant of Obelix and invite him to their publishing house, only to learn that he is too much like his ancestor.
 * (1963 – Obelisc'h) – 5 pages. First serialized as strips in Pilote #172–186. Appeared in the original "La Rentree Gauloise"

The Birth of an Idea
This story depicts a brainstorming session between the authors, in which they become too excited by the idea of the stories' fights and are as a result carted off to a mental asylum.
 * (1962 – Naissance d'une idée) – 1 page. First published in Pilote #157. Appeared in the original "La Rentree Gauloise"

Obelix: As Simple as ABC

Tulip Joshi

Tulip Joshi is an Indian former actress and a businesswoman. She has appeared in Hindi, Kannada, Punjabi, Malayalam and Telugu films.

Early life
Joshi was born in Mumbai to a Gujarati Indian father and Armenian mother, Zabel (nee Haykian). Her sister Monalisa is married to actor Rajat Bedi. She was brought up in Mumbai where she attended Jamnabai Narsee School, and later Mithibai College from where she graduated majoring food science and chemistry.

Tulip entered the Femina Miss India pageant in 2000. She did not make it to the list of winners but was noticed by many advertising agencies. She appeared in a number of advertising campaigns for big brands (Ponds, Pepsi, Siyaram, BPL, Smirnoff, Tata Sky mobile TV, etc.) and appeared in a video made as a tribute to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

Film career
Joshi learnt acting at Feroz Khan's studio. She entered movies quite by chance. She was a friend of the bride of Aditya Chopra, the son of director Yash Chopra. The family noticed her at their wedding and asked her to appear for an audition, following which they cast her in Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai opposite Uday Chopra. Not being fluent in Hindi, she trained her Hindi diction while learning acting at Feroz Khan's studio. She was also advised by the film-makers to change her name to something more Indian, as audiences might have difficulty in accepting a heroine with such an unconventional name. She chose the name Sanjana, she was playing the character of Anjali in that film. The film was a semi-hit. Despite the decent reviews, Tulip was panned for her acting.

After a two-year hiatus, she reappeared in Matrubhoomi - a dark film about a futuristic world with almost no women. Her performance in it was praised and established her credibility as an actress. The movie Dhokha also gave her some recognition.

Reverting to her given name, Joshi next appeared in the Telugu film Villain. Her next Hindi movie was Dil Maange More with Shahid Kapoor, Ayesha Takia and Soha Ali Khan. The film got average reviews, but wasn't a box office success.

She appeared in her first Punjabi film in 2009 called Jag Jeondeyan De Mele, with famous Punjabi singer and actor, Harbhajan Maan. She again acted with Harbhajan Mann in 2011 in another Punjabi Movie Yaara O Dildaara.

In 2010, she acted in a Kannada film directed by Upendra titled Super. The movie was a superhit in South India. This movie was also dubbed in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi.

Joshi was seen in her next Punjabi film Jatt Airways, opposite Alfaaz, and directed by Harjeet Ricky. The movie was released on 30 August 2013.

Television station

A television station is a set of equipment managed by a business, organisation or other entity such as an amateur television (ATV) operator, that transmits video content and audio content via radio waves directly from a transmitter on the earth's surface to any number of tuned receivers simultaneously.

Overview
The Fernsehsender Paul Nipkow (TV Station Paul Nipkow) in Berlin, Germany, was the first regular television service in the world. It was on the air from 22 March 1935, until it was shut down in 1944. The station was named after Paul Gottlieb Nipkow, the inventor of the Nipkow disk. Most often the term "television station" refers to a station which broadcasts structured content to an audience or it refers to the organization that operates the station. A terrestrial television transmission can occur via analog television signals or, more recently, via digital television signals. Television stations are differentiated from cable television or other video providers as their content is broadcast via terrestrial radio waves. A group of television stations with common ownership or affiliation are known as a TV network and an individual station within the network is referred to as O&O or affiliate, respectively.

Because television station signals use the electromagnetic spectrum, which in the past has been a common, scarce resource, governments often claim authority to regulate them. Broadcast television systems standards vary around the world. Television stations broadcasting over an analog system were typically limited to one television channel, but digital television enables broadcasting via subchannels as well. Television stations usually require a broadcast license from a government agency which sets the requirements and limitations on the station. In the United States, for example, a television license defines the broadcast range, or geographic area, that the station is limited to, allocates the broadcast frequency of the radio spectrum for that station's transmissions, sets limits on what types of television programs can be programmed for broadcast and requires a station to broadcast a minimum amount of certain programs types, such as public affairs messages.

Another form of television station is non-commercial educational (NCE) and considered public broadcasting. To avoid concentration of media ownership of television stations, government regulations in most countries generally limit the ownership of television stations by television networks or other media operators, but these regulations vary considerably. Some countries have set up nationwide television networks, in which individual television stations act as mere repeaters of nationwide programs. In those countries, the local television station has no station identification and, from a consumer's point of view, there is no practical distinction between a network and a station, with only small regional changes in programming, such as local television news.

Transmission
To broadcast its programs, a television station requires operators to operate equipment, a transmitter or radio antenna, which is often located at the highest point available in the transmission area, such as on a summit, the top of a high skyscraper, or on a tall radio tower. To get a signal from the master control room to the transmitter, a studio/transmitter link (STL) is used. The link can be either by radio or T1/E1. A transmitter/studio link (TSL) may also send telemetry back to the station, but this may be embedded in subcarriers of the main broadcast. Stations which retransmit or simulcast another may simply pick-up that station over-the-air, or via STL or satellite. The license usually specifies which other station it is allowed to carry.

VHF stations often have very tall antennas due to their long wavelength, but require much less effective radiated power (ERP), and therefore use much less transmitter power output, also saving on the electricity bill and emergency backup generators. In North America, full-power stations on band I (channels 2 to 6) are generally limited to 100 kW analog video (VSB) and 10 kW analog audio (FM), or 45 kW digital (8VSB) ERP. Stations on band III (channels 7 to 13) can go up by 5dB to 316 kW video, 31.6 kW audio, or 160 kW digital. Low-VHF stations are often subject to long-distance reception just as with FM. There are no stations on Channel 1.

UHF, by comparison, has a much shorter wavelength, and thus requires a shorter antenna, but also higher power. North American stations can go up to 5000 kW ERP for video and 500 kW audio, or 1000 kW digital. Low channels travel further than high ones at the same power, but UHF does not suffer from as much electromagnetic interference and background "noise" as VHF, making it much more desirable for TV. Despite this, in the U.S., the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is taking another large portion of this band (channels 52 to 69) away, in contrast to the rest of the world, which has been taking VHF instead. This means that some stations left on VHF are harder to receive after the analog shutdown. Since at least 1974, there are no stations on channel 37 in North America for radio astronomy purposes.

Program production
Most television stations are commercial broadcasting enterprises which are structured in a variety of ways to generate revenue from television commercials. They may be an independent station or part of a broadcasting network, or some other structure. They can produce some or all of their programs or buy some broadcast syndication programming for or all of it from other stations or independent production companies.

Many stations have some sort of television studio, which on major-network stations is often used for newscasts or other local programming. There is usually a news department, where journalists gather information. There is also a section where electronic news-gathering (ENG) operations are based, receiving remote broadcasts via remote pickup unit or satellite TV. Outside broadcasting vans, production trucks, or SUVs with electronic field production (EFP) equipment are sent out with reporters, who may also bring back news stories on video tape rather than sending them back live.

To keep pace with technology United States television stations have been replacing operators with broadcast automation systems to increase profits in recent years.

Some stations (known as repeaters or translators) only simulcast another, usually the programmes seen on its owner's flagship station, and have no television studio or production facilities of their own. This is common in developing countries. Low-power stations typically also fall into this category worldwide.

Most stations which are not simulcast produce their own station identifications. TV stations may also advertise on or provide weather (or news) services to local radio stations, particularly co-owned sister stations. This may be a barter in some cases.

Talk:List of case-sensitive English words

Untitled
I have removed See, Prime, and Boxing, which are all words which only have capitals because of their context, and can be used without capitals. I also removed the exclusion of proper nouns, since every example on the list is a proper noun, or derived from a proper noun. This means that Turkey should be included, so I put it in. JPD 16:23, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Words derived from proper nouns are not necessarily proper nouns. For example, nationality names. They are capitalized just due to rules of English spelling. (For example, in Italian they aren't.) Grammatically, the word "Pole" behaves more like the word "drummer" than like the word "Barbara". As for danish and hamburger I'm not very sure they belong here, they are merely different uses of the same word, much like Masonry and masonry. And I've never seen boxing day written in lowercase, in any contest. (Instead, saying that August and august are have the same origin is little meaning, they are unrelated words whose only thing in common is deriving from the same Latin word, much like govern and cybernetics which derive from the same Greek word, but don't happen to be pronounced or spelled alike.) And we shouldn't allow proper names the list, if we do it will became enormous, including Jack, Bill, Dick and surnames like Smith, Brown, Taylor, White, Martin, Wright, Walker, Green, Hall...--Army1987 16:55, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

It seems that there are a whole bunch of placenames, mostly with food-related uncapitalized senses, that might be included and be a category of its own on the list: Wiener, Frankfurter, Bologna, Neopolitan (not to be confused with Napoleon), French, Mayonnaise, Hollandaise, etc. Separate this subgenre? Or leave it as a flat list? Gary 17:52, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I think that would work best as a separate list - List of foods named after places perhaps - that should be a see also from here. Thryduulf 16:46, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Interesting ... what about foods named after people or other English-capitalized things (the napoleon, for instance) - I imagine there are others. Gary 17:17, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I think this page should be moved to Capitonym, since all these words are capitonyms. Yes, the logic is impeccable. 71.102.186.234 04:53, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

“Kingdom”
I wonder whether it would make more sense to put the words monarchy and kingdom in the article between quotes. The fact that a group calls itself a monarchy or its leader a king does not make it so. Xenophonix (talk) 21:05, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I see your point, but I think using quotes here would introduce an NPOV issue into the article. We might argue how viable the 'king' and 'kingdom' here might have been, but that's all relative.  Strang called himself a king and his church a kingdom, and crazy as this may sound, the most NPOV thing we can do here is to let that stand--while pointing out (in as NPOV a manner as possible) any legitimate questions about the viability of both.  Personally, I think the fact that Strang managed to rule under his royal title with some semblance of authority (at least among his followers) qualifies him for the title, albeit with the 'self-proclaimed' nomenclature.  But that's just my opinion, nothing more.  Cheers! - Ecjmartin (talk) 02:21, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Yes, there are paved roads on Beaver Island. The roads in St. James are mostly paved, and King's Highway is paved for about 4 miles heading south from town.  Also, it's not necessarily true that the ability to bring cars to the island suggests the roads are paved: they could all be dirt/gravel roads, although they are not (most are unpaved, however).  I don't have a link to an authoritative source for this, although I have visited the island (and brought a car) a couple of times. Almitydave (talk) 21:47, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Geographical distribution of Russian speakers

Misleading map
This map mixes up countries with no data and countries in the lowest category. This results in several errors, for example in the case of Germany where much more than 1% of the population speak Russian. I think the map should be removed for this reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:65:E824:AA34:C987:63D1:14D:9128 (talk) 08:07, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
 * For everyone's information, this is the map we are talking about: File:Proportion of Russian speakers by country in 2014 (0-50% gradation).svg (also shown on the right here). you created and added this map on 27 November 2017, could you clarify what data you used to create this map? All you state in the description is the following: "Data source: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Geographical_distribution_of_Russian_speakers&oldid=812198115#Statistics". This is WP:CIRC. Moreover, the source most commonly used for these data is https://web.archive.org/web/20160519181010/http://data.un.org/Data.aspx?d=POP&f=tableCode%3A27%3BareaCode%3A0%3BsexCode%3A0&c=2%2C3%2C5%2C7%2C9%2C11%2C13%2C14%2C15&s=_vcvv2%3Aasc%2C_countryEnglishNameOrderBy%3Aasc%2CrefYear%3Adesc&v=1 (current page: http://data.un.org/Data.aspx?d=POP&f=tableCode%3a27%3bareaCode%3a0%3bsexCode%3a0&c=2,3,5,7,9,11,13,14,15&s=_vcvv2:asc,_countryEnglishNameOrderBy:asc,refYear:desc&v=1), which does not clearly show the data visualised, but requires the reader to first figure out how the website works and then to find the specific data. Moreover, contrary to what the title claims, these data aren't (all) from 2014, but from a wide range of years, varying from 2001 to 2017. The sources do not indicate their methodologies, but the mere fact that there are multiple sources covering a range of years (without clarification or warning in the description) means that this presentation violates WP:CALC ("Comparisons of statistics present particular difficulties. Editors should not compare statistics from sources that use different methodologies.") and thus constitutes original research. Combined with the comment made above about 'mix[ing] up countries with no data and countries in the lowest category', I support the proposal to remove the map, and will carry it out. I'll add  templates to the UNdata source as well. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 07:35, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The source is the UN data website for most of them. If you want to question the accuracy of specific figures - you're welcome to, but tagging them all with 'better source needed' doesn't make the article any better.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 07:26, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Each of the specific figures I've tagged is currently inaccessible, so unless they can be made easily accessible for verification by readers and users, there is no way we can rely on the accuracy of the figures provided. I should point out that this problem exists for any online statistics source which requires user imput to show specific data, and doesn't change the URL in the process. The best kind of sources for checking statistics tend to be PDF files, or photocopies of printed books (e.g. Google Books), which show static demographic information about a given year in a clearly defined area and population. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 08:09, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't know if you're on mobile, but from desktop I can access them just fine - hit the link and use the interface to query the figures. Even if you can't personally see them, WP:SOURCEACCESS is pretty explicit in saying "Do not reject reliable sources just because they are difficult or costly to access".--eh bien mon prince (talk) 08:18, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

European Union preventing any official status for Russian
I never said there was anything wrong with the credibility of the source, but rather the paragraph to which it supposedly refers to. Exactly where does reference says that "European Union so far mostly supports this policy to prevent any official status for Russian"? "European Union" is also a very vague term to use. –Turaids (talk) 20:11, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, I guess this was Wikipedian's summary of the article cited. The fact is that Russian language is excluded from EU documents in ridiculous ways, due to the pressure of Baltic states. If you think the summary is inadequate, please rephrase, but the source cited does discuss a real problem. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:17, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
 * The article mentions no "pressure of Baltic states", so it sounds like you're letting your own personal beliefs get in the way of objective editing. You can't just rephrase someones opinion as a hard fact and then supplement it with your own statements not explicitly expressed in the reference. That's called synthesis of published materials. Either the text is adequately rewritten or it's being removed. –Turaids (talk) 10:16, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Are we reading the same source? the source cited says: Explaining her decision to write to Commissioner Reding, Evans said "it's disappointing to hear that the EU is bowing to pressure to exclude Russian speakers in the Baltic in this way," a state of affairs which she believes is "all the more surprising" given the large proportion of Russian speakers in both countries. "We hear often enough about how the EU wants to be closer and more accessible to its citizens. It will not achieve that aim by deliberately excluding entire language communities," Evans said. Are you trying to argue that it is not the Baltic states but somebody else tries to exclude Baltic Russians? Are you claiming that removal of Russian-language documents is an opinion rather than hard fact? If not then please be specific. I say the wikipedia text adequately summarizes the source.  And yes this is my personal belief as a Wikipedia editor, and nothing wrong with this. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:30, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * P.S. This problem is not only about Russian language in EU. Some other states are trying to banish some other languages as well.Staszek Lem (talk) 20:47, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * It's cruical to accurately draw the line between facts, opinions and your own conclusions in highly politicised matters like this. Russian-language fact-sheets being withdrawn is a fact, Evans criticising the action is also a fact, what you highlighted in bolden green is an opinion previously presented as a fact. The pressure coming specifically from Baltic states is your own conclusion not explicitly stated in the reference. For one, according to the article on anti-Russian sentiment, anti-Russian sentiment is supposedly common in many European Union member states. And EU apologizing to anyone about anything is an "understanding" mixed in with an opinion (just because someone says he/she understands something one way or another doesn't necessarily make it a fact). You can't just toss them together like they're all the same. Can you see the difference?

 * On March 2010 fact-sheets in Russian produced by the EU executive's offices in Latvia were withdrawn, provoking criticism from Plaid Cymru MEP and European Free Alliance group President Jill Evans who called European Commission to continue to provide information in non-official EU languages and commented that "it's disappointing to hear that the EU is bowing to pressure to exclude Russian speakers in the Baltic in this way".

Includable/excludable information
I'd have appreciated you starting a discussion first and not just reverting my edit like the last person I had to deal with did. Please explain again how someone's opinion of what Russian should be is relevant to the geographical distribution of Russian speakers. The title clearly limits the type of information to be included in the article, so unless the page is renamed to something more broader (like the Russian language in the world) I really don't see how your argument holds up. –Turaids (talk) 18:41, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * First off, generally when someone wants to remove info that is supported by reliable sources, they carry the onus to prove the reason of the removal to other editors, otherwise the info should stay.
 * About the case in hand, the paragraph you removed attests the fact that the distribution of Russian-language material on a semi-official basis is generally not allowed in Latvia, or at least controversial. Mentioning that seems important to give the right perspective on how the language is seen in the country.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 18:59, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * As I already said, this page is not a dump of everything Russian language related, so I moved it to a relevant page, where we can go into all the detail we like on what people believe Russian should and should not be. It's clear we've gone overboard with "giving the right perspective" when 4 out of 5 paragraphs in the section about Latvia don't talk about the geographical distribution of Russian speakers at all and the one that does is worded in such a way that clearly carries an implication. –Turaids (talk) 19:24, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * That is an issue, but one that can only be solved by adding material about the regional distribution of Russian language within Latvia, rather than removing content. Besides, I don't see how the paragraph is any more relevant in an article about official EU languages (which Russian surely isn't).--eh bien mon prince (talk) 19:30, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * There's really no need for information that doesn't add much to the article and basically duplicates the same already slightly off-topic fact. As for the Languages of the European Union, it clearly belongs there, because the article deals with languages in Europe in general (not just the geographical distribution of their speakers like this one) and Jill Evans is an MEP and the president of European Free Alliance group of the European Parliament. –Turaids (talk) 20:16, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Subnational territories
The article listed number of random Ukrainian cities as "subnational territories". The populated places in Ukraine are not subnational territories per se, but rather a subregional territories for the most part, first of all. Second, the article did not list any cities of the Central Asia that predominantly Russophone and did not claim those cities as "subnational territories", the same goes for the city of Narva in Estonia as well as several other instances where Russian language is pretty common and traditional form of communication. Yet the article listed just random cities out of Ukraine with the ongoing Russian invasion without explaining the purpose for listing. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 16:09, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The article also does not list any subnational territories nor populated places of the Russian Federation for any reason. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 16:13, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Why subnational territories include any territories outside of the Russian Federation only? Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 16:15, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

I wanted to know the countries with the largest concentration of Russian speakers given the current conflict. 68.197.111.251 (talk) 20:04, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Beaver Island (Lake Superior)

Deletion
Is this article worth keeping? It's a "stub" and there really isn't anything more that can be said about this island, to turn it into a "non-stub". Heck, it's not even one of the bigger minor islands around Isle Royale... just an oversized hunk of rock and dirt in one of its bays.
