Stealing
Hey I stole your talk page design. Ok with you? =Nichalp  «Talk»=  07:42, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah - go for it! :) --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:03, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Strange...
I've been reading your userpage and I find it interesting to know that you do/like a lot of the stuff that I do too; for example we're both students, both speak Spanish and French, both use Firefox, both hate the Labour Party, both hate Bush and both like maths! I just find this highly amusing! » Fire Fox T  C   E 16:43, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, not so strange I would say but interesting. I'm bound to meet someone with my interests someday but I diodn't think that it would be on Wikipedia!!! By the way, how do you like my new signature? Consider joining WP:ESP... --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:03, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * So how long have you done Spanish for then? --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:07, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yup, your new signature is very nice. I have been doing Spanish for just over 4 years now, I really enjoy speaking it and I'm (apparently) quite good for my age. What about you? I've looked at WP:ESP and I've signed myself up: I'll have a go :) Fire Fox T  C   E 17:38, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * It's easily preferable to French (I dropped it a year back) and I've been told I'm quite good at it too. I've been told I'll walk an A* ... which is nice.
 * Do you fancy trading spaces? There's a note about it on the WP:ESP page. I think it'd be fun - it's where we redesign totally eachothers userspace, then the person uses that design for a week before reverting back to their original design, if they want. Do you want a go? --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:55, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah I'm up for it, athough I may have to wait til tommorow to start on yours if that's ok. You can do mine tonight if you want though. Lol, I still do French but I find it much harder and a lot more boring. What year are you in at school? (I've just had to redesign my signature 'cos I've just realised it messes up some of the formatting - grr) Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:07, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Koolio - I'll start yours now then. I'm in year 11, you? What formatting does it mess up exactly? --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:15, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm also in yr 11. Well I edited html to make the date small and blue, and it's worked for about a week now, but your comment: "It's easily preferable to French..." has turned blue :( ah well, it needed redesigning anyway - now its got a link to WP:ESP :) Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:22, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * So what other subjects are you GCSE-ing? Other than English, Maths, Spanish, French and Science, of course. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:26, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well it's triple science, and on top of the above I am doing Italian, Music and ICT. I take my maths GCSE in January - help! ¿Y tú? Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:30, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Estudio la musica, la informática, la cocina, los artes (muy aburrido), el español, las matematicas, las ciencias (double) y el inglés. Tomé las statisticas en Junio y voy a tomar mis exámenes de matematicas en Noviembre. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:38, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * En musica, ¿Qué instrumenta te tocas? --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:41, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * En música, toco el teclado - ¡no puedo tocar algo más! I'm currently in the middle of my maths coursework (E-totals) - ¡es aburridísimo! Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:46, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Si no tocas el teclado algo más, ¿Qué sobre sus funcionamientos?
 * E-totals? Estudio differentiation para mis "coursework". --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:54, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry - I didn't get the last bit: ¿Qué sobre sus funcionamientos? - I'm a bit rusty lol... Yeah, E totals (aka "Magic E") - its our statistics coursework. I'm going off the computer now, I'll leave a message for you tomorrow after school. Fir  e  Fox  T  C 19:00, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Nah - my fault. Qué sobre tus = what about your. I couldn't think of the word for performances so I just google-translated it. I shouldn't do that really. It makes you incomprehencable.
 * Okay then, speak again tomorrow and I will unveil my new design for your userpage! Hasta luegos! --Cel e stianpower hablamé 19:05, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well I do all my perfomances on keyboard (or using Sibelius on the computer). I'm in music at school atm anyway - can't wait to see my new design! Fir  e  Fox  T  C 10:24, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah - but if you don't play keyboard anymore, how can you?
 * Koolio. But how's my one coming along? --Cel e stianpower hablamé 14:44, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Ah, it seems you misunderstood (probably my fault) When I said "no puedo tocar algo más" I meant "I don't play anything else". Lol I've only just come home from school, I'll get to work on yours right away :) Fir  e  Fox  T  C 16:18, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * No, my fault, I thought it meant, "I don't play it any more"!!!! --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:36, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Fair enough - I should be finished on your page by about 7.00. Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:40, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Right, I have finished your page and it is ready to post :) - Be prepared for the worst... Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:58, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Ready to post? 1, 2, 3 ... switch! --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:03, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Groooooovy lol. You've done a great job! :D Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:07, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * You too! I like it. Just added you to my list of "Wikipedia Users that I hold in high regard"!!! Wait a sec, I'll just dust off a Barnstar for you... :D --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:10, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Awww thanks! I was just thinking the same thing about the barnstar - one for you too :P Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:14, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well that was fun :D I've got a physics test tommorow so I'm off to revise. Talk later, Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:59, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Spam
My edit was not vandalism, it had a very serious point, take a look at your contributions. You are spamming users with "Come back" messages without even researching your points. While well meaning, it is hardly appreciated. Agriculture 22:31, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Um, 2 people. And I've seen Ta bu an awful lot and never have I had a bad experience. And personally, I believe that every editor who makes positive contributions should stay. And being positive and friendly is one of the most important things to me. I feel that without that, you have bad will and misunderstanding, both of which are bad for any community, not just Wikipedia. Perhaps I was wrong in trying to spread goodness but I beieve not and very little will make me change that view. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 22:37, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Barnstar & Thanks
Thanks for doing such a good job with redesigning my userpage! Fir e  Fox  T  C 18:30, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Smart job
Nice work you two. I found the experience not only fun but also de-stressing, hope you did too. Recommend one of you update the WP:ESP page with the results. Alf melmac 20:16, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

¡Hay una problema!
You know the trading spaces thing, well unfortunately IE displays your userpage slightly wrongly at the top - I've tried experimenting but I don't know what the problem is. Maybe you could take a look, presuming you have IE? Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:21, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah - when I logged on at school today, I saw that. Mighy odd. But I don't have IE at home though. Well, not one that I can use anyway. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:24, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I noticed it at school too - Wikipedia looks so different in IE its scary! Well I have IE, so I'll see if I can either fix it or slightly modify the page, if that is ok with you? Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:26, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Go for it! --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:27, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * All done. I don't know what was wrong but is now at least IE, Firefox and Opera "compatible" :) Why can't you use IE? I thought all Microsoft computers came with one. Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:42, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah - I have IE, but that doesn't mean to say that it isn't virus-ridden, insecure and slow! --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:46, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Lol, I use IE very rarely - only when I need to do something FF can't. ¿Cómo estás y cómo fue el día? Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:49, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Muy bien ahora pero tuvo las clases más abburido en mi horario. Tuvo dos clases de las matematicas, el arte y la education fisica. Detesto los deportes. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:57, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Tuvo las matemáticas y la educación física también. Tengo la informática y el español mañana por la mañana - son interesantísimo :D Ho finito el "coursework" de las matemáticas - wooooooooooooooooooooop! Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:03, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

¡Hola!
Tengo una pregunta - ¿Qué significa "Wikipedia Namespace Edits"? (and the stuff they talk about on WP:RfA). ¡Hoy, tuve el coursework de el español! Fir e  Fox  T  C 17:27, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Just correcting your grammar (a great way to make friends): de + el => del.
 * Wikipedia namespace edits are edits to pages in the Wikipedia namespace. That is, RfA, AfD, CfD, policy discussions and policy pages, WikiProject edits ...etc... Edits to any page that begins with "Wikipedia:" basically. Their significance is that most of the jobs performed by admins involve a high knowledge of policy and these edits (especially AfD) go a way to saying how knowledgable the user is about policy. A lot of votersb will only vote support on someone who they think will use their admin powers "often".
 * Spanish coursework! You lucky so-and-so. We have to do it all in the exam... --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:34, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well spotted, although I must say that I started with "de español" then added "el" and forgot to merge :) Why do you have to do it all in the exam??? We get 3 or 4 pieces of spanish c/w this year! Thanks I understand now - Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:38, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I have no idea. They must be scared that people just won't bother doing it but in my opinion, that's they're fault - they are the ones who are going to fail! Why do the rest of us have to suffer because of a small minority? Coursework is so much better than exams. And anyway, Marling School is a grammar school: they should have the ethic to do the work in the first place. Does your school have a Wikipedia article?
 * Yeah it does - Maidstone Grammar School - and it's pretty rubbish compared to yours lol... Maybe I should expand it soon. We are a specialised language college after all :D I agree that c/w is better than exams - you're under less pressure etc... Half of our spanish class muck around so much, our teacher wanted to split us up once, and just teach the good kids lol!!! Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:48, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Sounds like my English class. About 5 of us actually want to learn something and pass our GCSEs out of 25. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:53, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * English - don't remind me (puts on BORED face)... I can't stand English, it's so boring and it seems like the hour-long classes take for ever! Have you thought about options for A Level or IB yet? Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:56, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * IB?
 * A-level. Yes. I'm going to take RE, Spanish and Maths. Then Music or Computing: I havn't decided yet. You? --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:04, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * IB = International Baccalaureate (I can't believe I spelt it right first time!) Yeah I am thinking of taking double Maths, Biology, ICT and Spanish. Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:08, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 5? I wish we were allowed to do 5... Stupid headmaster. I hate him. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:21, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * You can only do 4??? Can't you specially request to do 5 or something? Oh I hate our headmaster too - but there is one teacher that is nicer than all the rest :D hehe... Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:25, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * We can only do 5 if we do 3 in our A2 levels: which is worse in the long run.
 * If we're boasting about teachers, one teacher, Mr. Green, at our school, came in the top 10 in the country for teaching. He's amazing. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:27, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah.. well... Miss Gibson is better than any teacher you can EVER imagine :) This "Mr Green" - what is so special about him??? lol Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:32, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh no. You're not are you? Oh no, I suddenly feel unclean, lol. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:40, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Not what??? lol She is a very good teacher :P Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:43, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Are you sure? Just, the way you italicised "him"... --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:45, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Meh - am I sure what??? I italicised "him" 'cos... (it's hard to explain) it's as if I was dismissing him in disgust lol. Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:49, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Just getting the wrong end of the metaphorical stick lol. Never mind. I'm sure she's a great teacher. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:52, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah well maybe you were getting the right end of the stick - Are you sure there are no teachers you "like" at your school lol? Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:53, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Certainly not Mr. Green lol! No, not really. They're all either old or men or both. Yuck - bad images...! --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:57, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * lol very bad images - well she is young and certainly not a man so it's all good lol. You need to get in some more young female teachers! (I hope this isn't a milestone edit - so embarassing lol) I'll talk to you tommorow or something, as I am off to watch The Bill - how sad of me :P Fir  e  Fox  T  C 19:01, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Is your name "Celestian" or am I just being silly thinking that? (I hope you don't mind me talking to you everyday - I'll stop if you want :D ) Fir  e  Fox  T  C 16:32, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * That's a ludicrous suggestion. If you really want to know then I'll email you.
 * It's fine. I like seeing that little orage bar accross the top of my screen!!! --Cel e stianpower hablamé 07:56, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The thing is, I have no idea whatsoever how to use the IRC thing, and I can't seem to find any help anywhere! :( Fir  e  Fox  T  C 16:39, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * What you do is go to ChatZilla, click the link at the bottom to Mozilla Update and install the extension. Then click the en.wikipedia link on the WP:IRC page and you're there. It's like a chat room. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 16:47, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Högaborgs BK

Högaborgs BK is a Swedish football club from Helsingborg that was founded in 1927. They currently play in the Swedish fourth division (Division 2).

Background
The club was founded in the spring 1927 by Sven Damberg and Lars Flodin and a group of friends. During their first year they played in blue shirts and white shorts, but in 1928 they changed to their current colours. The newly formed club also laid out a sports ground at Viskans vall in eastern Högaborg but were forced to move out in 1937 because Helsingborg municipality wanted to use the site for housing. The club played at Tre Torns plan in Jönköpingsgatan until 1942 when Harlyckans Idrottsplats was completed and the club moved there. Harlyckan has been the club's home ever since. In 1971 the club was expanded with a ladies section and in 1979 started a floorball section.

Since their foundation in 1927 Högaborgs BK has participated mainly in the middle and lower divisions of the Swedish football league system. The club currently plays in Division 2 Västra Götaland which is the fourth tier of Swedish football. They play their home matches at the Harlyckans IP in Helsingborg.

Högaborgs BK are affiliated to the Skånes Fotbollförbund.

Konstantin Melnikov

Konstantin Stepanovich Melnikov (Russian: Константин Степанович Мельников; August 3 1890 – November 28, 1974) was a Russian architect and painter. His architectural work, compressed into a single decade (1923–33), placed Melnikov on the front end of 1920s avant-garde architecture. Although associated with the Constructivists, Melnikov was an independent artist, not bound by the rules of a particular style or artistic group. In the 1930s, Melnikov refused to conform with the rising Stalinist architecture, withdrew from practice and worked as a portraitist and teacher until the end of his life.

Childhood
Konstantin Melnikov was born and died in Moscow. He was the fourth child of the family. His father, Stepan Illarionovich Melnikov, originally from Nizhny Novgorod region, was a road maintenance foreman, employed by the Moscow Agricultural Academy. Mother, Yelena Grigorievna (née Repkina), came from the peasants of Zvenigorod district. The whole family occupied a single room of a state-managed working class barrack in Hay Lodge (Соломенная сторожка), then a quiet northern suburb of Moscow. The Melnikovs tried hard to rise above bitter poverty, to return to farming and eventually relocated to their own small house and set their own dairy farm. Konstantin Melnikov later praised his father, who noticed the little boy's addiction to drawing and regularly brought him scrap paper for drawing from the academy. However, all the education they could afford was a two-year parish school (completed in 1903).

Education
Konstantin met his "golden day in life" ("это был золотой день в моей жизни") through a milk delivery woman, who happened to serve the family of Vladimir Chaplin, a wealthy engineer. She recommended Konstantin's drawings to Chaplin, who was so impressed that he hired the teenager to his firm and paid for his art studies. Chaplin overestimated Melnikov's basic education, and Konstantin failed his grammar test at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in 1904. One year later, he passed the admissions that selected a class of 11 out of 270 applicants. Melnikov studied at the School for 12 years, first completing General Education (1910), then graduating in arts (1914) and Architecture (1917). Despite Chaplin's calls to concentrate on architecture, Melnikov leaned to painting; by the time he joined the Architecture classes, he already was a well-recognized portrait painter. Later, he recalled Konstantin Korovin, Sergey Malyutin and Abram Arkhipov as his mentors in art; as for architecture, he gave his regards only to Ivan Zholtovsky, his professor in 1917–1918.

Melnikov married Anna Yablokova in 1912; they had two children, born in 1913 and 1915.

Early career
During World War I and the first years after Russian Revolution of 1917, Melnikov worked within the Neoclassical tradition. Before the Revolution, he was involved in AMO Truck Plant project. In 1918–1920, he was employed by the New Moscow planning workshop headed by Zholtovsky and Alexey Shchusev, designing Khodynka and Butyrsky District sectors of the city.

Meanwhile, the Russian educational system collapsed; the new art college, VKhUTEMAS, was formed in 1920. Its architectural faculty was split between three factions: An Academic Workshop (Ivan Zholtovsky), left-wing United Workshops (Nikolai Ladovsky), and a joint workshop of Melnikov and Ilya Golosov, known as New Academy and Workshop No.2. Melnikov and Golosov resisted both the academic and left-wing camps; in 1924, when the management merged New Academy with Academic Workshop, Melnikov quit VKhUTEMAS. In 1923–1924, Melnikov temporarily associated himself with the ASNOVA and LEF artistic groups, however, he was not involved in public disputes and made no public statements. In particular, he clearly distanced himself from the Constructivist group, led by Moisei Ginzburg and Alexander Vesnin.

His first success in architecture was a 1922 entry to a workers' housing contest. Codenamed Atom, Melnikov's design employed the sawtooth arrangement of units that became his trademark in later works. Unlike other, "revolutionary" projects, Atom was based on traditional single-family townhouse and apartment units.

Melnikov's first materialized works were short-lived, temporary buildings. The first, a 1923 pavilion for the All-Russian Agriculture and Handicraft Exhibition, featured more Melnikov trademarks:
 * Raised cubical shapes are offset from supporting columns
 * Combination of single-sloped roofs
 * Glazed corners

The latter feature is shared with the Constructivists; single-sloped, angled roof was against the constructivist canon but a good match to existing technologies: Soviet industry of 1920s did not have the technology for reliable flat roofing.

Melnikov Garage
In 1925 Melnikov designed and built the Soviet pavilion at the Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes. The wooden pavilion, employing a combination of single-sloped roofs of different sizes, was regarded as being one of the most progressive buildings at the fair. Unlike other Paris pavilions, it was completed in less than a month, employing not more than 10 workers.

Still in Paris, Melnikov designed two privately commissioned versions of a ramped garage that never got past the conceptual drawing stage. In the second version of this project, Melnikov found a useful pattern of placing cars in a garage (again, a sawtooth pattern) where cars could park and leave without using reverse gear. The second In Moscow, Melnikov saw a new fleet of Leyland buses hoarded in a yard in Zamoskvorechye, and immediately proposed his concept to the city. The result, Bakhmetevsky Bus Garage, housed 104 buses on 8500 square meters of an unconventional, parallelogram-shaped floorplan with Vladimir Shukhov's roof system. Melnikov later called this project "the start of my Golden Season". Bakhmetevsky Garage, sometimes incorrectly called a constructivist landmark, was very modestly styled in an indefinite "industrial" red brick. Melnikov's later garage buildings, on the contrary, possessed a clear avant-garde external styling (which has become badly damaged over time):
 * 1926-1929: Horseshoe-shaped truck garage, Novo-Ryazanskaya Street (with Vladimir Shukhov)
 * 1933-1936: Intourist car garage, Suschevsky Val Street (with Andrey Kurochkin)
 * 1934-1936: Gosplan car garage, Aviamotornaya Street

Melnikov Clubs
The "golden season" of 1927 continued with a chain of trade union commissions for workers' clubs. "Beginning in 1927, my influence developed into a monopoly takeover... that's how love will treat you if she really loves you" ("Начиная с 1927, мой авторитет вырос в монопольный захват... вот так поступит любовь и с Вами, если она Вас полюбит").

Nationwide construction of new, dedicated buildings for workers' clubs (combining propaganda, educational and community center functions) was launched in 1926 and peaked in 1927, when trade unions commissioned 30 clubs in Moscow region (10 in the city of Moscow). Melnikov won five of these ten projects (his sixth club is located in Likino-Dulyovo). Absence of public contests for these buildings was favorable to Melnikov, who was promoted by enthusiastic trade union commissioners, regardless of design complexity or political and artistic affiliations. He had a chance to build practically exactly as planned, with very little changes by the client (notably, omission of swimming pools).

All six workers' clubs of this period differ in shape, size, and functional set. Melnikov's clients (the unions) were not competent in exact functions of these buildings, thus each Melnikov draft is also a functional program with different balance between main hall and other space. The club, according to Melnikov, is not a single fixed theater hall, but a flexible system of different halls that may be united into a single, large volume when necessary. His larger main halls can be divided into three (Rusakov Club) or two (Svoboda Club) independent halls.

One common feature of his clubs – bold use of exterior stairs – is actually a consequence of 1920s building codes that required wide internal staircase for fire evacuation. Melnikov, in an attempt to save interior space, connected the main halls to exterior galleries, which was not regulated by the code.

Melnikov House
The finest existing specimen of Melnikov's work is his own Krivoarbatsky Lane residence in Moscow, completed in 1927–1929, which consists of two intersecting cylindrical towers decorated with a pattern of hexagonal windows. His flow of commissions in 1926-1927 provided enough money to finance a three-story house of his dreams. At this time, many well-to-do Russians were into building their own city houses; Melnikov was one of the few who managed to retain his property after the fall of New Economic Policy. His request for land (790 square meters) had few chances to pass the district commission; to his surprise, a working class commissioner supported him, saying that "we can build public buildings anytime and anywhere, but we may never see this unusual house completed if we reject Melnikov". The city endorsed Melnikov's draft as an experimental, one-of-a-kind project.

Melnikov preferred to work at home, and always wanted a spacious residence that could house his family, architectural and painting workshops. As the Russian idiom says, he designed the house starting "from the hearth"; existing white oven in his living room dates back to his 1920 drawings. Floorplan evolved from a plain square to a circle and an egg shape, without much attention to exterior finishes. Melnikov developed the concept of intersecting cylinders in 1925-1926 for his Zuev Workers' Club draft (he lost the contest to Ilya Golosov). Twin cylinder floorplan was approved by the city in June 1927 and was revised during construction.

The towers, top to bottom, are a honeycomb lattice made of brickwork. 60 of more than 200 cells were glazed with windows (of three different frame designs), the rest filled with clay and scrap. This unorthodox design was a direct consequence of material rationing by the state – Melnikov was limited to brick and wood, and even these were in short supply. The wooden ceilings have no supporting columns, nor horizontal girders. They were formed by a rectangular grid of flat planks, in a sort of orthotropic deck. The largest room, a 50 square meter workshop on the third floor, is lit with 38 hexagonal windows; equally large living room has a single wide window above the main entrance.

In 1929, Melnikov proposed the same system of intersecting cyliitecture – is a honeycomb lattice shell made of bricks with hexahedral cells. The similar lattice shells out of metal were patented and built by Vladimir Shukhov in 1896. Melnikov built his house in 1927–1929, and by that time in Russia there had been already built about 200 Shukhov's steel lattice shells as the overhead covers of buildings, hyperboloid water and other towers, including the famous 160 meter radio tower in Moscow (1922). Since Melnikov and Shukhov were well acquainted with each other and made joint projects (Bakhmetevsky Bus Garage, Novo-Ryazanskaya Street Garage), it is not surprising that the Melnikov's house in Krivoarbatsky pereulok was built in the form of an original lattice shell. The overhead covers of the own Мelnikov's house are the honeycomb lattice shells made of wooden boards placed edgewise.

End of career
Throughout 1933–1937, as a leader of the Mossovet Seventh Planning Workshop, Melnikov was involved in city planning projects for the south-western sector of Moscow (Arbat Square and Khamovniki District). None of them materialized. These assignments looked like an appreciation of his talent, but in fact separated Melnikov from actual construction projects.

His final public statement was a 1936 contest entry for the Soviet pavilion at 1937 World Expo in Paris. He lost the contest to Boris Iofan. By 1937, mounting criticism against "formalism" led to the virtual excommunication of Melnikov from practice. He was not exactly forgotten; on the contrary, his Rusakov Club and Arbat house were present in many Soviet textbooks as examples of Formalism.

Melnikov retained his Arbat house and lived there, safely, with his family until his death. He returned to portrait painting and lectured at engineering colleges. Melnikov also designed privately commissioned, unimportant architectural jobs – summer houses, shop interiors – some of which materialized.

Melnikov returned to the public contest stage four times:
 * 1954 – for the Pantheon and 300 years of Russian-Ukrainian Unity monument
 * 1958 – Palace of Soviets (post-World War II contest)
 * 1962 – Soviet Pavilion at the 1964 New York World's Fair
 * 1967 – Cinema on Arbat Street (next to his own house)

In the 1960s Melnikov enjoyed a brief revival of interest in his architecture. His 75th birthday (1965) was officially celebrated by the House of Architects in Moscow; in 1967 and 1972 he was awarded the honorary titles of Doctor of Architecture and Meritorious Architect.

Melnikov died at the age of 84 and was interred in the Vvedenskoye Cemetery in the Lefortovo District of Moscow. His son, Viktor, also a painter, lived and worked at the Arbat house, and fought to have it preserved as a museum until his death in February 2006. The house contains a significant portion of Konstantin S. Melnikov's archive.

Post chaise

A post-chaise is a fast carriage for traveling post built in the 18th and early 19th centuries. It usually had a closed body on four wheels, sat two to four persons, and was drawn by two or four horses.

A postilion rode on the near-side (left, nearest the roadside) horse of a pair or of one of the pairs attached to the post-chaise leaving passengers a clear view of the road ahead.

Purpose
Hired when long-distance travel at speed was very important, a post chaise would be taken with its own postilions and horses. At the next posting station the postilions would most likely return to their base with their own horses but might continue the journey with fresh horses.

Private posting was expensive and passengers — particularly if the only passenger was a woman — would be accompanied by one or two of their own footmen riding above and behind the body of the post chaise. The footmen would be responsible for making all travel arrangements.

Private individuals did own their own post chaises; some had their light chariots made with the coachman's seat removable. Designed to withstand rapid long-distance travel, the post chaise should have been utilitarian, but private vehicles might be extravagantly decorated and finished.

Posting
In a 1967 article in The Carriage Journal, published for the Carriage Association of America, Paul H Downing recounts that the word post is derived from the Latin postis which in turn derives from the word which means to place an upright timber (a post) as a convenient place to attach a public notice. Postal and postage follow from this. Medieval couriers were caballari postarus or riders of the posts. The riders mounted fresh horses at each post on their route and then rode on. Post came to be applied to the riders then to the mail they carried and eventually to the whole system. In England regular posts were set up in the 16th century.

The riders of the posts carried government messages and letters. The local postmasters delivered the letters as well as providing horses to the royal couriers. They also provided horses to other travellers.

Post chaise
The system of ‘’posting’’ was common in France. An artillery officer, John Trull, entered business in England in 1743 hiring out travelling carriages. At first these carriages had two wheels but they were soon replaced by four wheel carriages given the same name, Post-chaise.

The original French design was amended, a conventional pole was fitted, no driver was provided for — leaving a view through the front window for the passengers — and the horses were ridden by postilions or post-boys. The postilions went from post to post, stayed with their own horses and took them back home at the end of that stage.

America
At that time there was no perfected posting system in America. George Washington’s tour of the South in 1791 had a target (when there were no other commitments) of an average 35 mi a day whereas in England an average speed of 8 to 10 mph might be achieved right round the clock.

A true chaise is an open two-wheeled carriage with a bench seat for two passengers drawn by one or two horses. Given two more wheels it would have been, if the name had been used then, a phaeton. A phaeton was for the owner to drive and generally drawn by one or two horses. A four-wheeled chaise would be drawn by at least four horses.

Around the time Trull was introducing post-chaises to England Americans began to use the same name for what had been called a four-wheeled chaise.

Pork, not lamb
" and a Norwegian version, ribberull, which is made of a lamb shoulder - boned, flattened, sewn to form a long rectangle, rolled, pressed, and steamed." This is not correct, ribberull is made form "ribbe", hence the word ribberull, and is thus made of pork, not lamb. It is in fact the same as what is described on this page. If you put lamb in the Norwegian "rull", we call it "lammerull". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.202.95.17 (talk) 13:47, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Erroneous text removal
Removed the following text: "Also Norwegian, but made of lamb shoulder boned, flattened, sewn to form a long rectangle, rolled, pressed, and steamed."

The article is about rolled pork roast, not rolled lamb. Perhaps this text could be the start of a different article, but it does not belong in this one. --SFDan 20:03, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Speedy keep

Speedy keep is the process of closing deletion discussions with a result of "speedy keep" before the normal discussion period ends, but without unlisting or deleting the actual discussion. This guideline applies only to "speedy keep" closures; the criteria for speedy deletion cover the circumstances under which pages may be deleted immediately.

Applicability
Reasons for a speedy keep decision are:
 * 1) Absence of delete rationale. Normally the nominator will provide grounds for deletion in the delete rationale, but if (a) the nominator withdraws the nomination, perhaps because of improvements to the article that happen during the AfD,  or (b) the nominator failed to give intelligible grounds for content deletion (i.e. arguments that would support deletion, userfying or redirection, perhaps only proposing an alternative action such as moving or merging) and no new delete rationale appears in the deletion discussion. Exceptions:1. If the nominator indicates that the nomination is procedural in nature, then the nomination is ineligible for speedy keep. This includes a "relist" result from deletion review, fixing errors in the nomination process, or if a user stated a page should be deleted on a talk page without actually nominating it.

2. If the nomination would otherwise qualify for close to speedy redirect then suggestions to redirect the page are treated the same as moving or merging.

3. Where the nominator withdraws their nomination, check whether other editors still recommend a delete or redirect outcome before speedily closing. If a good faith editor in good standing recommends delete or redirect, the AfD should not be speedily closed using this ground.
 * 1) The nomination was unquestionably made for the purposes of vandalism or disruption and, since questionable motivations on the part of the nominator do not have a direct bearing on the validity of the nomination, no uninvolved editor has recommended deletion or redirection as an outcome of the discussion. For example: 1. obviously frivolous or vexatious nominations (such as recently featured content)

2. nominations which are made solely to provide a forum for disruption, e.g. when a contestant in an edit war nominates an opponent's userpage solely for harassment

3. making nominations of the same page with the same arguments immediately after they were strongly rejected in a recently closed deletion discussion

4. nominations that are clearly an attempt to end an editing dispute through deletion, where dispute resolution is a more appropriate course
 * 1) The nomination is completely erroneous. No accurate deletion rationale has been provided.
 * 2) The nominator was blocked or banned at the time of making the nomination, so they were not supposed to edit. In that case, the nominated page is speedily kept while the nomination can be removed from the log, tagged with db-banned and speedily deleted as a banned contribution. However, if subsequent editors added substantive comments in good faith before the nominator's blocked or banned status was discovered, the nomination may not be speedily closed (though the nominator's opinion will be discounted in the closure decision).
 * 3) The page is a policy or guideline. The deletion processes are not a forum for revoking policy.
 * 4) The page/image is currently linked from the Main Page. In such cases, please wait until the link is no longer on the Main Page before nominating. If the problem is urgent, consensus should be gained at WP:ERRORS to remove the link before nominating for deletion.

If a page is nominated for deletion on the wrong forum (for example, a template on AfD or an article on MfD), the misplaced discussion may be procedurally closed and the page renominated on the correct forum, with the original nomination, and any comments made so far, copied over to the new nomination. The closing comment should indicate where the discussion has been moved. This does not strictly count as a speedy keep, since the page still remains nominated for deletion.

Please realize that while you may personally dislike having a deletion tag on your favorite article/template/image/etc, the harm it does is minimal, and either the article or the tag will be gone in around a week. Also be aware that the speedy keep criteria, particularly the first three, are not to be used to express strong disapproval of the nomination: a rationale that you don't agree with is still an argument for deletion, is not necessarily vexatious, and does not imply the nominator has neglected to read the page.

What is not a speedy-keep
The "snowball clause" is a valid criterion for an early close, and is not subject to any of the other criteria necessary for a speedy keep, but it is not a speedy keep criterion itself. Specifically, discussions must meet specific criteria to be speedily kept. "Snowball closes" are justified by "Ignore all rules" and "Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy" as opposed to a specific set of guidelines. For that reason, "snow closes" may be controversial and additional care is warranted. Though the two may seem similar, closes under the snowball clause should never be closed as "speedy keep."

When closing a debate as speedy-keep
When a discussion is closed as a speedy-keep, close the debate as you would a standard close, but use the result "speedy keep" instead of "keep". The procedure for administrators closing AfD discussions are laid out at WP:AFD/AI and for limited cases of non-administrator closings, at nominator withdrawal or here.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Richard O'Connor/archive1

Richard O'Connor
This is a self nom, but I humbly submit the story of a now largely forgotten hero of the Second World War for your consideration. My friend Leithp and I did not start it, but we have put a lot of work, time and care into it. I hope the results show and you reward them with feature status. Thanks for your time, --R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 20:05, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Support. Excellently written article. Stephen Turner 21:44, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I'm going to change my opinion to Neutral at the moment. I agree with SimonP's comments below about the final section. It's all too hagiographic at the moment. I don't think you need to lose the assessment section, just source it ("Baynes [or whoever] claims that O'Connor was quiet and patient" etc.). This will give us confidence that it's not just your own assessment. Stephen Turner 10:28, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Support. Very informative & but not too boring unlike other FAs. Spawn Man 22:40, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Boring is not a valid objection. Please give constructive objections. A FA has no co-relation to whether people on the street will know him. If an article is well researched, comprehensive and well written, it can be a FA. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  06:21, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * And your previous (major) support said it was "not too boring like other FAs". Odd that it suddenly became boring after four days? --Loopy 18:55, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Fine then, I'll put it back then... meanys.... Spawn Man 22:35, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Object . This is a great piece of work, but it still needs some tweaks. The lead should be longer than one section. There are also too many one paragraph sections, some of these should either be expanded or merged together. The earlier sections could use some more content, for instance it gives no information on how he got his WWI medals. There are some POV statements that need to be sourced, especially in the Assessment section. For instance we cannot simply state that he was "a quiet, patient, scholarly figure. In manner and appearance more like a kindly school master than a soldier." - SimonP 00:35, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the compliments and constructive criticism. Simon, I've addressed some of the tweaks you said needed by expanding the intro and reorgainizing the article. As for the other issues. I want the main focus to be on his WWII career, not on WWI. I also do not want whole sections to sound like O'Connor's resumee, although I'm afraid some do. As for the assessment section, the goal there is to breath some life and analysis into the article, without interfereing with the facts of the main body. Doing as you suggest would, perhaps, make the article more NPOV, but it would also make it more dry and a less compelling read. This is a sacrifice I'am not willing to make. Respectfully, --R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 13:28, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you, my major concerns have been addressed, and I withdraw my objection. - SimonP 19:04, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * You're welcome, so do I have you support now? --R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 12:47, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Mild objection: The man himself is certainly interesting, but I feel like the biography suffers from its sources at this time.  The coverage of his military career is excruciatingly detailed, with few explanations of the significance of the detail.  Essentially, a great deal of the time between the wars not much was happening except a very active military career.  Each transfer of post is given, without a rationale for inclusion.  If each of those moves is important for the career or the significance of the life, then help the reader out by explaining it a little.  If not, perhaps some elision is called for.  The other thing that bothered me a bit was the "Assessment" section.  Having an assessment is copacetic, but this particular one sounds a bit like what the 1911 used to do: focus on the personality and affect of the person rather than the function and effect of him.  The pleasantness of his manner is important, I'm sure, in explaining his effectiveness as an administrator and manager, but, unless it is couched in such terms, it seems distracting to talk about these things.  (wanting to support) Geogre 13:33, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I have rewritten the dreaded, offending "Assessment section" so it is now less POV and hagiographic, as per the above critcisms and suggestions. Please forgive me, if it still sounds a bit like the 1911. The reason for that is I find the style and prose of pre-WWI to be so much more eloquent and warm than the terse, clinical and neutral language which has come into favor since. Please also excuse that parts of it still sound a bit much like a Resumee. Originally the section on O'Connor's interwar postings was shorter, covering only significant assignments. However, I felt compelled to add the remainder for the sake of completeness. Had I failed to do so, I'm sure someone here would be bound to ask-"So what did he do from 1929-1934?" (Damned If I Did, please meet Damned If I Did'nt :). So I chose to err on the side of completeness but still expanded, briefly, (since this is just an article afterall and not a full biography) on those postings which would have a greater significance to his future life, namely his WWII career. The latter must be covered in greater detail, since, again, it is the core of the article and, needless to say, its entire Raison D'Etre.--R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 13:44, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Support now that objections have been answered. (And violating NPOV is a reason for objecting, y'all, which is something the 1911 did all the time.  I can point to numerous 1911 examples of major authors dismissed as "vile" and "obscene."  If we don't want to be as infuriating and laughable as 1911 is, we would do well to be more clinical than it.  The current assessment has moved away from what I considered objectionable POV and toward NPOV evaluation.)  I still feel that the article is too complete for the thesis to appear, but that is not a reason to object.  Geogre 14:36, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. I find the article informative, well-written and designed. With the new wording of the "Assessment" section, I believe the only remaining point that needed a serious revision has been properly addressed. I encourage R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) to provide a source for the considerations included at that section, but I think that this is easy to solve, and personally, it doesn't represent a reason to oppose by itself.

 * Support. Well written and informative. And as per Shauri, problems have been properly addressed. Nufy8 00:25, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Conditional support, on the whole a good biography, but I agree the assessment section needs to provide sources for statments so it doesn't read like the authors POV. This should be easy to remedy.--nixie 14:58, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The assessment section is certainly much improved now, but I'm still a bit uneasy about it. I would still really like to see some sources for the descriptions of his character. Stephen Turner 13:09, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Conditional support if 'Assessment' section is expanded and NPOVed. It is both too short (stub section) and contains unsourced remarks like 'was arguably one of the finest generals of the IIWW'. This article would also benefits from some external links, more pictures of the general and the lead could use some expantion to three paragrapsh to be truly comprehensive. All things considered, great job. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 16:23, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you all. As far as sources for his character go, they are my apprasals based on ALL the references I list and more, including his own papers. The easy solution would be to delete the assessment section all together now. But Iam unwilling to do that simply to gain FA status. I want to have at least some praise for O'Connor and not just bury him the way history pretty much has. He deserves better. So out of respect for the subject, I must respectfully decline. However, the advice and edits you have suggested, and even made in some cases, have made this a much better article. Along with your generous compliments, you have reminded me why I love Wikipedia. Especially those from Shauri, SimonP and Piotrus, whom I regard as 3 of the BEST writers and researchers in the entire community. Even if I fail to get Sir Richard his FA, I come away from this experience greatly enlightened and encouraged. Once again, thanks for your time and your thoughts.--R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 22:24, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Support. It's interesting, well written and backed up by references - I like it! You've addressed the problems brought forth by others and the article is in good shape. I only have three issues to raise. The first is the line "Sir Richard O'Connor was arguably one of the finest generals of the Second World War." under Assessments. That just doesn't really feel right to me, maybe it could be tweaked to be toned down a bit, or maybe a quote of someone saying something along those lines? Second is that I think his picture should be brought up the page and made more prominent, like you see with the Erwin Rommel or Bernard Montgomery articles. Finally, and I'm probably wrong about this, are you sure he attended Tonbridge Castle School? I lived in Tonbridge for 7 and a half years and racking my brains I really can't remember a Tonbridge Castle School, while there is Tonbridge School right next to Tonbridge Castle, a respected posh school in the town. I could well be wrong though. Those issues aside, great job on the article! --Loopy 04:16, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Hello Loopy! Thanks for your support and suggestions. In answer to your querry regarding the Tonbridge Castle School, Iam really not sure about this. There seems to be a lot of schools there, and it was over a century ago besides. It could well have changed names, or moved, merged with another school or closed down entirely. But your knowledge of the area, obviously, far exceeds mine, which is entirely based on what little I have read. Still, Tonbridge does sound like a lovely place to visit and I don't think I'd mind living there either. Kent is the "Garden" of England after all. My thanks again, along with my compliments on your fine work on the Zulu War! --R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 18:28, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Aye, Tonbridge was a nice place to live. And if you got bored of the town, just jump on the train to head north to London, or south to the beach at Hastings, with much in between to check out. Regarding the school, I found this quote on a website: "For the next hundred years Tonbridge Castle passed through the hands of several owners and tenants, it was used as a military academy and as a boys school. The site was finally purchased by the local council in 1900, using the mansion as offices, and opening the grounds as a public park."  So I now reckon he did attend a school called Tonbridge Castle School, probably for two years, 1899 and 1900 before it became a council property. Cheers, --Loopy 18:54, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Junk (novel)

Junk, known as Smack in the US, is a realistic novel for young adults, written by British author Melvin Burgess and published in 1996 by Andersen in the UK. Set on the streets of Bristol, England, it features two runaway teenagers who join a group of squatters, where they fall into heroin addiction and embrace anarchism. Both critically and commercially, it is the best received of Burgess' novels. Yet it was unusually controversial at first, criticised negatively for its 'how-to' aspect, or its dark realism, or its moral relativism.

Burgess won the annual Carnegie Medal from the Library Association, recognising the year's outstanding children's book by a British author. For the 70th anniversary of the Medal, in 2007, Junk was named one of the Top 10 winning works, selected by a panel to compose the ballot for a public election of the all-time favourite. Junk also won the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize, a similar award that authors may not win twice; it is the latest of six books to win both awards.

In the US, Henry Holt published the novel in 1997 as Smack — another slang term for heroin.

Plot summary
Junk is told in the first person, with each chapter having a different character narrating. At the beginning of the story, fourteen-year old Gemma Brogan is spending time with David 'Tar' Lawson, a boy of the same age. Tar is a victim of physical abuse at the hands of his father, and — as he later realises — emotional abuse from his mother. Both of his parents are alcoholics. After a particularly violent incident, he decides to run away to Bristol, even though he knows no-one there and has no money. Gemma, despite having loving (albeit strict) parents, also decides to leave home and join Tar in Bristol shortly afterwards.

In Bristol, Tar sleeps rough, interacting regularly only with Skolly, a local newsagent who likes his naive, trusting attitude. Skolly eventually introduces Tar to Richard, an absent-minded, vegan anarchist, who opens up abandoned houses for use as squats. Tar joins Richard and his friends Vonny, an eighteen-year old 'motherly' woman; and her boyfriend Jerry, who is described as a bit useless. Between them, the young adults support Tar financially in order to keep him safe and away from his father, even though it is illegal. Gemma comes 'to visit', intending to stay. Vonny is frustrated by this, as she does not see it as the same situation; they are protecting Tar, but Gemma is unafraid and merely wants a more 'interesting' life. Vonny reluctantly allows Gemma to remain with them, but she insists that both teenagers notify their families from a telephone box that they are safe. Tar is happy with their situation, but Gemma gradually grows more restless, wanting to find some people their own age.

The adults decide after a few weeks that Gemma must return home. Richard holds a 'farewell' party in the abandoned house and, to Vonny's chagrin, he invites Lily and Rob, a couple whom she suspects to be on hard drugs. Gemma is enamoured with Lily from the moment she sees her. The two girls connect instantly, and Lily invites the pair to stay the night with them. Whilst they are there, Lily and Rob encourage Gemma and Tar to smoke heroin with them, and they do, believing that only smoking it will not get them addicted. The pair are subsequently invited to live with Lily and Rob, and they do.

Tar and Gemma live with Lily and Rob for a long time, and in the early days, it is all fun. They have frequent parties, shoplift to feed themselves, and heat their house with fuel from skips. They know all the local squatters and drug-users, becoming particularly close to Sally, another girl their age. However, their heroin-smoking habit quickly turns into long-term addiction. Eventually, the girls become prostitutes to fund their habit.

After an event involving a friend who overdoses at their home, the police arrest Tar. He is sent to a drug rehabilitation centre as an alternative to prison, and receives treatment. Through counselling, he also faces some of the trauma he has endured. He leaves the centre clean, determined to stay off drugs, but he uses heroin almost immediately once he arrives back at the squat.

Lily, who does not work in the massage parlours as Gemma and Sally do, and instead works on the street with the protection of Rob, discovers she is pregnant. She decides to keep the baby, and the five of them vow to get clean. They travel to Wales, with the aim of getting themselves away from heroin and detoxing in a safe environment. However, the trip quickly falls apart. Rob and Sally both smuggle some heroin along with them, Tar hitchhikes back to Bristol on the second day, and Lily discovers Rob's heroin and injects some herself. Gemma initially resists, but once she realises she is the only one still trying to stop using drugs, she starts using them again. They return to Bristol, scared by what they have realised about their addictions: that they truly cannot stop just because they want to.

In time, Lily has the baby and continues to inject heroin whilst the baby is breastfeeding. Meanwhile, Rob starts cottaging himself in public toilets, to fund their habit. Tar has totally changed; the naive, joyful person he once was, has been replaced by someone who lies to and steals from his friends and even from Gemma. Both boys become drug dealers. They have a traumatic experience when they discover a friend and his girlfriend dead after overdosing. However, they do nothing to alert the authorities, instead just stealing their drug stash.

The catalyst comes when Gemma realises that she, too, is pregnant. After a particularly vulnerable moment with Lily, who non-verbally admits she is overwhelmed, Gemma realises that she cannot let the same thing happen to her own baby. She leaves the house in the middle of the night and phones the police, telling them the address of the house and that it is being used to deal drugs. Tar, Rob and Lily are arrested, and Tar takes the rap again, which means he is given a custodial sentence. Meanwhile, Gemma locates Vonny and asks for her help. She allows Vonny to get in touch with her parents, who come to the hospital where she has been admitted with severe withdrawal symptoms. For the first time in three-and-a-half years, the Brogans are reunited with their daughter, who asks to come home.

Gemma returns to live in her hometown drug-free. She gives birth to her daughter Oona, whilst waiting for Tar to come out of prison. However, once he is released, Gemma realises that she no longer feels the same way about Tar, and they end their relationship. The reader learns that Tar ends up forcing his way into Gemma's home and hits her at least once, in a bleak repetition of his own father's behaviour. Gemma remains free of heroin, once she has gone through withdrawal, whereas Tar finds it much more difficult and slips several times, even though he is on methadone. The story ends with Tar having a new girlfriend and seeing Oona occasionally whilst lamenting the life he lost, still craving heroin and still holding onto the hope that Gemma will one day agree to renew their romantic relationship.

Rodovia Washington Luís

Rodovia Washington Luís (official designation SP-310) is a highway in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.

It runs in the North-Northwest direction, departing as a branch from the Anhangüera Highway near the city of Limeira. It also crosses with the Rodovia dos Bandeirantes, nearby the city of Cordeirópolis.

Main cities linked by the Washington Luís Highway are Rio Claro, São Carlos, Araraquara, Matão, Catanduva, São José do Rio Preto and Mirassol.

It is named in honor of Washington Luís (1869–1957), one of the presidents of Brazil and a paulista, who famously declared in 1926 that "to govern is to build roads".

The highway is managed and maintained through a state concession to the private companies Centrovias and Triângulo do Sol, and therefore is a toll road.

From Mirassol to Ilha Solteira, the name is changed to "Feliciano Sales Cunha", keeping the SP-310 code.

There is another highway so named in Brazil, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, between Rio de Janeiro and Petrópolis.

Wikipedia talk:Speedy keep

Edited SK1
I've rephrased SK1 in a way that makes the structure hopefully clearer, although at the cost of some additional words, and also solves two additional issues: userfy is explicitly recognised as a delete-like outcome for which, like redirect, SK1 does not apply, and the negative presumption in the characterisation on a nom being reversed is toned down, per Wikipedia talk:Speedy keep/Archive 4. In terms of words it's a fairly large change, but because the only change to the applicability of SK1 (the explicit recognition of userfy) I think will be uncontroversial I was BOLD and changed it directly. — Charles Stewart (talk) 11:11, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I've just made a minor change to your rewrite - I replaced "AfD" with "deletion discussion" because speedy keep is used in more than just AfD. 192.76.8.73 (talk) 12:41, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Phrasing of SK3
SK3 is currently The nomination is so erroneous that it indicates the nominator has not even read the page in question. To me, this comes off as a bit too harsh on the nominator, and it is not a comment I would want to make if speedy-keeping something. People make mistakes, and it is possible for a nomination to be completely wrong even if the nominator has made some effort to be accurate. Could I suggest The nomination is entirely erroneous, with no accurate deletion rationale provided as a less judgemental, but still specific, alternative? User:GKFXtalk 18:10, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

I’m sorry this is just too complicated
I wrote a short piece about my friend Lara Patangan who is a new author. A published author. My name is Erin Avera as I declared in my registration even though my user name is Runwritenow15. I think. Anyway. I have many emails including one recently telling me the piece has been deleted.

There are links upon links. A sandbox. A long queue. So many layers. Clearly Wikipedia doesn’t need my piece or my money. I know controls are needed. But this is ridiculous. I’m a working mother. I’ve no time for such nonsense. I’ll let the publishing company and the author know that for lots of weird Java script and http or whatever reasons, we can’t be on Wikipedia.

Thanks for uploading Image:Pinkfloydwall.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Image:Bobby lee.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Bobby lee.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShadowHalo 02:57, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:CentinelaAdobeSign.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:CentinelaAdobeSign.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 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 11:17, 24 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 11:17, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Div-bell.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Ca11.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ca11.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:43, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Jack.skeleton.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Jack.skeleton.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 12:08, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Ivantransition.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Ivantransition.jpg, which you've attributed to Ivan Aceves. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 11:40, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
