For the latter, he won his second Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor.

Bajpayee won the Special Jury National Award for Pinjar (2003). This was followed by a series of brief, unnoticed roles in films that failed to propel his career forward.

Early and personal life
Bajpayee was born in a pious Hindu family on 23 April 1969 in a small village called Belwa near the city Bettiah in West Champaran, Bihar. He is the second child among his five other siblings, and was named after actor Manoj Kumar. One of his younger sisters Poonam Dubey, is a fashion designer in the film industry. His father was a farmer and his mother was a housewife. As a son of a farmer, Bajpayee would do farming during their vacation. Since childhood, he wanted to become an actor.

His father struggled to gather funds for their education. He studied in a "hut school" till fourth standard, and later did his schooling at Khrist Raja High School, Bettiah. He completed his 12th class from Maharani Janaki Kunwar College in Bettiah.

He moved to New Delhi at the age of seventeen and went to Satyawati, then to Ramjas College, Delhi University. Bajpayee had heard about the National School of Drama from actors such as Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah, so he applied. He was rejected three times and wanted to commit suicide afterward. He then attended director and acting coach Barry John's workshop after actor Raghubir Yadav's suggestion. Impressed by Bajpayee's acting, John hired him to assist him in his teaching. After that he applied at the National School of Drama for the fourth time, and they offered him a teaching position at the school instead.

Bajpayee was married to a girl from Delhi, but got divorced during his period of struggle. He met actress Shabana Raza, who is also known as Neha, right after her debut film Kareeb (1998). The couple married in 2006 and they have a daughter.

1994–2001: Debut and breakthrough
Following his one-minute role in Govind Nihalani's Drohkaal (1994), Bajpayee acted in the biographical drama Bandit Queen (1994). Tigmanshu Dhulia, the casting director of the film suggested his name to its director Shekhar Kapur. Bajpai was considered for the role of dacoit Vikram Mallah in the film, which eventually went to Nirmal Pandey. Bajpayee got the role of dacoit Mann Singh in the film. During that time, he also did a television serial called Kalakaar, directed by Hansal Mehta and Imtihaan (Doordarshan).

Bajpayee was a struggling actor when Mahesh Bhatt offered him the soap opera Swabhimaan (1995), which aired on Doordarshan. He agreed to do the serial at a low fee. Next, Bajpayee appeared in minor roles in films such as Dastak (1996) and Tamanna (1997). Director Ram Gopal Varma discovered Bajpayee when he was casting for Daud (1997), a comedy film, where he had a supporting role. Following completion of the filming, Varma expressed his regret for offering Bajpayee a minor role. He then promised Bajpayee a prominent role in his next film. Satya (1998), a crime drama, was their next film together. In the film, Bajpayee played gangster Bhiku Mhatre, who accompanies the title character to form their nexus in the Mumbai underworld.

Satya was mostly shot in the real slums of Mumbai. It was screened at the 1998 International Film Festival of India and opened to mostly positive reviews. Anupama Chopra called Bajpayee and others' performances "[..] so good that you can almost smell the Mumbai grime on their sweaty bodies." The film was a commercial success, and Bajpayee won the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor and Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor for his performance. Filmfare later included his performance in the 2010 issue of Bollywood's "Top 80 Iconic Performances". Bajpayee then collaborated with Verma in the year 1999 with Kaun? and Shool; with Verma directing the former and producing the latter. Kaun, was a whodunit with only three characters in a house, where Bajpayee played an annoying talkative stranger. The film was a box office disappointment. Shool saw him play the role of an honest police officer who finds himself in the politician-criminal nexus of the Motihari district in Bihar. Sify labelled Bajpayee's performance in the film as "truly amazing [..] especially the emotional scenes with Raveena Tandon." The film won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi, with Bajpayee winning the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance. He also acted in the Telugu romantic film Prema Katha (1999).

The year 2000 started for Bajpayee with the comedy Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar!! and the crime drama Ghaath, both alongside Tabu. A dialogue from the former sparked controversy in some political parties. Bajpayee's first release in 2001 was Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's supernatural thriller Aks. His negative portrayal of Raghavan Ghatge, a criminal who dies and is reincarnated in the body of Manu Verma (played by Amitabh Bachchan), garnered him the Filmfare Award for Best Performance in a Negative Role nomination. It was followed by Shyam Benegal's Zubeidaa, co-starring Rekha and Karisma Kapoor. He played Maharaja Vijayendra Singh of Fatehpur, a polo enthusiast prince with two wives. His character was inspired by Hanwant Singh, the Maharaja of Jodhpur.

2002–09: Career struggle
Bajpayee's sole release of 2002 was the road thriller Road. He played the antagonist in the film, a hitchhiker who turns out to be a psychopathic killer, after taking a lift from a couple (played by Vivek Oberoi and Antara Mali). Bajpayee received another Filmfare nomination for Best Performance in a Negative Role, for the film. Pinjar (2003), a period drama, set during the partition of India, was Bajpayee's first release of the year. Directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi, the film was based on a Punjabi novel of the same name. He received the National Film Special Jury Award for his performance in the film. He subsequently portrayed Grenadier Yogendra Singh Yadav in J. P. Dutta's ensemble war film LOC: Kargil.

Bajpayee's next roles were in Jaago (2004) opposite Raveena Tandon, Makarand Deshpande's Hanan and the thriller Inteqam. In Jaago, he played a police officer who takes the situation into his own hands, after his 10-year-old daughter is raped and killed. The same year, he appeared in a supporting role in Yash Chopra's romantic drama Veer-Zaara (2004).

In 2007, Bajpayee played Major Suraj Singh in 1971. The film tells the story of six Indian army soldiers, who escape from the Pakistani prison after they were captured during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN, criticised the film but wrote: "[Bajpayee] is in great form, he holds back mostly and in the process, constructs a character that says more with his eyes than with words." He next starred opposite Juhi Chawla in Ganesh Acharya's drama film Swami. Bajpayee's final release of the year was the anthology film Dus Kahaniyaan. He acted in the Sanjay Gupta – directed story Zahir alongside Dia Mirza. All of his 2007 releases were financial failures. Next year, he starred in the ensemble comedy Money Hai Toh Honey Hai (2008), which was also a box office disaster.

Bajpayee's shoulder got injured while filming the Telugu film Vedam, and was absent from the screen for nearly two years. He then returned in a major role with the comedy Jugaad (2009), which was based on the 2006 Delhi sealing drive incident. His next release was the mystery thriller Acid Factory (2009), which was a remake of the 2006 American film Unknown. He played a comic role of one among the people who are kidnapped and locked in a factory with no memory of how they came there. The film did not do well at the box office. The string of financial failures continued with his next release. In Madhur Bhandarkar's Jail (2009), he played a convict serving life imprisonment. He called his role a "narrator" and "mentor" of its protagonist (played by Neil Nitin Mukesh).

2010–present: Raajneeti and beyond
In 2010, Bajpayee starred in Prakash Jha's big-budget ensemble political thriller Raajneeti. Nikhat Kazmi of The Times of India in her review mentioned that Bajpayee "[..] grab[s] eyeballs in [his] scenes" and "brings back memories of his mesmeric performances." Indian trade journalists were apprehensive of Raajneeti recovering its inr 600000000 investment. The film, however, proved to be a major commercial success, with worldwide earnings of over inr 1430000000. Bajpayee received a Best Supporting Actor nomination at Filmfare for the film. He then acted in two Telugu films; Vedam (2010) and Puli (2010), followed by the comedy Dus Tola (2010). He also provided the voice of Rama in the animated film Ramayana: The Epic, which was based on the Indian epic Ramayana.

Aarakshan (2011), a socio-drama based on the issue of caste based reservations in Indian, was Bajpayee's next film. The film sparked controversy in some groups and was banned in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Andhra Pradesh before its theatrical release. Trade journalists had high expectations for the film, but it ultimately flopped at the box office. Bajpayee's followup was the thriller Lanka (2011).

In 2012, Bajpayee appeared in Anurag Kashyap's two-part crime film Gangs of Wasseypur. His character Sardar Khan appeared in the first one.

For his performance in the film, Bajpayee was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor. His next film was the historical drama Chittagong (2012), based on the Chittagong armoury raid. Bajpai portrayed the Bengali independence fighter Surya Sen in it, for which he charged no money. His final release of the year was Chakravyuh, where he played a Naxalite; a role which required him to lose 5 kilograms weight. Writer and lyricist Javed Akhtar called Chakravyuh "the best film of last 20 years". On the contrary, a review carried by India Today called it an "amateurish attempt", but praised Bajpayee's acting.

The film was loosely inspired by social activist Anna Hazare's fight against corruption in 2011, featuring an ensemble cast, the film was highly anticipated by trade journalists due to its release coinciding with the Mumbai and Delhi gang rape public protests.

In Devashish Makhija's Bhonsle, Bajpayee played a terminally ill retired Mumbai cop who befriends a North Indian girl when the locals are trying to get rid of the migrants in the city. The film and his performance met with positive response from critics with Namrata Joshi calling his acting "astounding in his internalisation of Bhonsle and acts with not just his face but by deploying his whole body."

The next year, he narrated the Discovery+ documentary show Secrets of Sinauli, directed by Neeraj Pandey. Bajpayee also appeared as a cop trying to solve a murder case in the thriller Silence... Can You Hear It?. The film was released on ZEE5 and met with mixed critical feedback.

Acting style and influence
Bajpayee is a method actor and a director's actor, and is known for his unconventional roles in films. Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has cited Bajpayee's performance in Aks as the inspiration for his role as the antagonist in Kick (2014). Bajpayee has also been vocal about the disparity in the pay he commands, in comparison to the top actors in the film industry. He has cited Amitabh Bachchan, Naseeruddin Shah and Raghubir Yadav as his inspirations.

Director Ram Gopal Varma considers him to be "an education" for himself and said he is "simply the best actor I've ever worked with." Shekhar Kapur, who directed him in Bandit Queen, recalls: "Manoj had the ability to portray a lot just by doing little. He never tried to overplay a scene and seemed totally comfortable with a minimalist statement." According to director Hansal Mehta, Manoj "has the ability to transform himself like few others."

Bajpayee's performance as Bhiku Mhatre in Satya is considered to be one of the most memorable characters of Hindi cinema, along with his dialogue in it: "Mumbai ka king kaun? Bhiku Mhatre" (Who is the king of Mumbai? Bhiku Mhatre). Kay Kay Menon credits this character as a turning point for other method actors: "If it were not for Manoj's brilliant performance in Satya, actors like Irrfan and me might still be waiting to be accepted. Manoj opened the doors for us." Writing about the character in his book Popcorn Essayists, journalist-writer Jai Arjun Singh wrote that "the "earthiness" and the "authenticity" [of the character], was the subtle result of a persistence in Bajpai's performance."

Have a Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks

Have a Nice Day!: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks is an autobiography of former wrestler Mick Foley. It details his life all the way from his upbringing in New York to winning the WWF Championship from The Rock in December 1998. Foley had originally wanted the book to be called simply Blood and Sweatsocks, but this was eschewed in favor of his long-time catchphrase Have a Nice Day!, with the former being worked into the sub-title. The book debuted at #3 on the New York Times Best Seller list on November 7, 1999, and reached #1 on December 5.

The book is followed by three sequels. Foley is Good: And The Real World is Faker Than Wrestling released in 2001, wraps up the rest of his career and gives a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Have a Nice Day!. The second sequel and third volume to the Foley autobiography is called The Hardcore Diaries, examining Foley's various returns to WWE and giving an in-depth look at the build to a match at the 2006 ECW One Night Stand pay-per-view event, was released in March 2007; It was followed in 2010 by Countdown to Lockdown: A Hardcore Journal, about Foley's departure from WWE, and giving behind the scenes build to a match at the 2009 TNA Lockdown pay-per-view event.

History
Foley did not make use of a ghost writer, writing the book himself while on the road. He wrote the entire book in longhand (over 760 pages; he claimed his typewriter broke). A ghostwriter was originally intended, but Foley was not satisfied with his work. The book started a trend that saw several wrestlers including Edge (who also wrote his without the aid of a ghostwriter), Shawn Michaels, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Lita, Chyna, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, and Chris Jericho writing their biographies.

In the book, Foley is critical of Ric Flair's booking abilities. In response, Flair wrote negative remarks about Foley in his own autobiography. The real life tension between the two was later translated into a worked feud.

Content
The book begins with a quick account of his WCW match with Big Van Vader on March 17, 1994, in which Foley's right ear was ripped off. It then goes back to 1983, when Foley was eighteen. From there it details his early life in college and the filming of his notorious short film "The Loved One", as well as a piece called "The Legend of Frank Foley" (Frank because a beautiful girl he had gotten a date with could not remember his real name) in which for the first time he introduced a character called "Dude Love". According to Foley, at the time the Dude was his vision of what he thought a man should be. "The Loved One" was enough to impress wrestler Dominic DeNucci, who would then train Foley to wrestle.

From there, the book goes on to chronologically detail Foley's escapades as "Cactus Jack" on the independent wrestling circuit, as well as his very first match in what was then called the World Wrestling Federation. It then continues to recount his years in World Championship Wrestling, as well as those that he spent in both Japan and Extreme Championship Wrestling. It then goes on to describe his re-entry into the WWF, the creation of his new persona "Mankind", and the reappearance of Dude Love in the WWF. The book details his experience in the "Hell in a Cell" match with The Undertaker that he had at King of the Ring 1998 which truly made him famous as Mankind. Due to the concussion he sustained during the match, he had to watch video clips of it to recall the details and write about it.

Finally, from there, it tells the story of the introduction of his sock puppet, "Mr. Socko", and ends with his eventual WWF Championship win over The Rock.

Foley also breaks chronological history at a point during the book, writing about Owen Hart's death on the night it happened, rather than editing the news into a later chapter to fit in with chronology.

Roger Sweet

Roger Sweet is an American designer. He grew up in Akron, Ohio and graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and the Institute of Design in Chicago, Illinois. He served as a lead designer at Mattel throughout much of the 1970s and 1980s and worked extensively on the Masters of the Universe toy line. Before working for Mattel, Sweet held design positions with Walter Dorwin Teague Associates, an industrial design firm, and other design firms. He worked on the accounts of such companies as Boeing, Rubbermaid, Hoover, and Procter & Gamble, and on such products as the interior of the Boeing 747 jumbo jet airliner, and the Downy and Scope packages.

Origin of the Masters of the Universe Franchise
In 1976, Mattel's CEO Ray Wagner declined a request to produce a toyline of action figures based on the characters from the George Lucas film Star Wars. Upon the commercial success of the film trilogy during the next few years and all related merchandise, Mattel attempted to launch several unsuccessful toylines, none of which captured the public's imagination or made a significant dent in the toy market. These included: Kid Gallant, a medieval knight; Robin and the Space Hoods, a sci-fi figure; and the daredevil Kenny Dewitt (pronounced "Can He Do It)?"

Roger Sweet was a lead designer for Mattel's Preliminary Design Department throughout much of the 1970s and 1980s. According to his book Mastering the Universe: He-Man and the Rise and Fall of a Billion-Dollar Idea, Sweet made He-Man with the idea that the character's simplicity would make it effective: "this was a powerful figure that could be taken anywhere and dropped into any context because he had a generic name: He-Man!"

Charles I, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel

Charles (German: Karl; 1 August 1713, Braunschweig – 26 March 1780, Braunschweig), Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg (Bevern line), reigned as Prince of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel from 1735 until his death.

Life
Charles was the eldest son of Ferdinand Albert II, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. He fought under Prince Eugene of Savoy against the Ottoman Empire before inheriting the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel from his father in 1735. Through his mother he was first cousins with Empress Maria Theresa

On the suggestion of his court-preacher, Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Jerusalem, in 1745 he founded the Collegium Carolinum, an institute of higher education which is today known as the Technical University of Brunswick. He also hired Gotthold Ephraim Lessing as the librarian for the Bibliotheca Augusta, the ducal library. Lorenz Heister of the University of Helmstedt named the botanical genus Brunsvigia in his honour, in recognition of his encouragement of botany and the study of B. orientalis.

Charles attempted to promote the economic development of his state; for example, he founded the Fürstenberg Porcelain Company, and he installed mandatory fire insurance. However, he did not manage to keep the state finances in check. As a consequence, in 1773 his eldest son Charles William Ferdinand took over government.

When the American Revolution began in 1775, Prince Charles saw an opportunity to replenish the duchy's treasury by renting its army to Great Britain. In 1776, Duke Charles signed a treaty with his cousin George III of the United Kingdom to supply troops for service with the British armies in America. 4,000 soldiers were dispatched under General Friedrich Adolf Riedesel. The Brunswick troops fought in General John Burgoyne's army at the Battles of Saratoga (1777), where they were taken prisoner as part of the Convention Army. Although the terms of surrender allowed the troops to return to Europe, the American Continental Congress cancelled the convention. The Convention Army was held prisoner in America until the war ended in 1783.

Marriage and children
In 1733, Charles married Philippine Charlotte, daughter of King Frederick William I of Prussia and sister of Frederick the Great. They had the following children that reached adulthood:
 * Charles William Ferdinand (1735–1806), father of Queen Caroline of Brunswick, wife of George IV of Great Britain.
 * Sophie Caroline Mary (1737–1817), married Frederick, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth
 * Anna Amalia (1739–1807), married Ernest Augustus II, Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach
 * Frederick Augustus (1740–1805)
 * Albert Henry (1742–1761), died childless
 * William Adolf (1745–1770), died childless
 * Elizabeth Christine Ulrike (1746–1840), married King Frederick William II of Prussia (divorced). She was the mother of Frederica, Duchess of York.
 * Augusta Dorothea, Abbess of Gandersheim (1749–1803)
 * Maximilian Jules Leopold (1752–1785), died childless

Charles also had a child out of wedlock, Christian Theodor (1750–1824), who later took the name de Pencier after his step-father.

Tsentrosoyuz building

The Tsentrosoyuz Building or Centrosoyuz Building (Центросоюз) is a government structure in Moscow, Russia, constructed in 1933 by Le Corbusier and Nikolai Kolli. Centrosoyuz refers to a Soviet bureaucracy, the Central Union of Consumer Cooperatives. The building included office space for 3,500 personnel, as well as a restaurant, lecture halls, a theater, and other facilities. The address of the building is 39 Myasnitskaya Street, and the eastern side of the building faces Myasnitskaya Street. The western side, which was supposed to be the main entrance, faces Academician Sakharov Avenue. Currently it is the home of Rosstat (Росстат), Russian Federal State Statistics Service and Federal Financial Monitoring Service (Russian financial intelligence unit).

Architecture
There were three architectural competitions for the project beginning in 1928. Le Corbusier won all three. Upon his victory in the third competition in 1928 he wrote: "I shall bring to this task all that I have learned in architecture. It is with great joy that I shall contribute what knowledge I possess to a nation that is being organized in accordance with its new spirit."

The project applied on larger scale Le Corbusier's architectural principles: pilotis, curtain-wall façade, free floor plan, ribbon windows and flat roof. It was to accommodate 3500 people and Le Corbusier considered the question of circulation as of main importance. The system of pilotis for the accommodation of people and cars was proposed and proved to be very effective by allowing multiple access points to the building. The ramps were proposed by the architect for the interior circulation between the floors, detail that links back to his Villa Savoye. Le Corbusier said: "We have approached the problem as urban planners, that is, we have considered that corridors and stairs are, so to speak, enclosed streets. In consequence, these streets are 3.25 meters wide, and are always well lit. Moreover, we have replaced tiring flights of stairs with gently sloping (14%) ramps that allow for free and easy circulation."

In 1929, the complete set of construction plans for the Tsentrosoyuz building was sent to Moscow and work was started. However, delays were encountered due to the materials shortages caused by Joseph Stalin's first five-year plan. The building is made of reinforced concrete, with sixteen-inch-thick blocks of red tuff stone from the Caucasus serving as insulation.

The glass façade was intended to include an innovative heating and ventilation system. The respiration exacte (mechanical ventilation system) and the murs neutralisants (neutral walls, heating/cooling pipes between the layers of glass), both Le Corbusier's latest inventions, as well as Gustave Lyon's aeration ponctuelle method were considered for heating and refrigeration of the glass prisms and the interior. These innovations were rejected, in part due to the materials shortage, and in part due to the experimental character of the proposed technologies (including a critique of the systems by the experts from the American Blower Corporation as unpractical and expensive). Instead, a system of radiators was introduced for heating, and roller blinds and translucent glass meant to protect the building from heat (which proved ineffective in the hot summer months).

The building was criticized by fellow Swiss architect Hannes Meyer as being "an orgy of glass and concrete". Russian constructivist Alexander Vesnin however called it "the best building to arise in Moscow for over a century".

Talk:Mário de Andrade

NPOV ?
This article reads like it was written by the guy's public relations agent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1C0:CA00:387:515:457E:8B00:2AC (talk) 18:10, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Requested move
Mário de Andrade used to be a redirect to Mário Pinto de Andrade, an Angolan writer, but all articles linking to it were clearly about Mário de Andrade the Brazilian poet. So I created a page Mário de Andrade (Brazil) and changed the redirect at Mário de Andrade to point there. But ideally, given that the poet is by far the most famous person with that name, he should be at Mário de Andrade, rather than the redirect. Chick Bowen 00:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. Mário de Andrade (Brazil) to Mário de Andrade –Hajor 18:41, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Major expansion
I'm currently expanding and rewriting this article. If you'd like to make changes, feel free, but things might get moved around a lot, so your best bet is probably to list anything that needs work here and I'll take care of it. Thanks. Chick Bowen 00:17, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Major expansion pretty much finished--the structure should remain as it is. Chick Bowen 03:11, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

AFD tag
I removed the tag from this article as it did not belong, it was added by a user who has been warned for vandalism, I apoligize if I stepped out of line according to WP:DP  J\/\/estbrook       04:35, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Infobox
I reverted the infobox. In general I'm not crazy about them, as I don't think they add much, and I don't see why we would want all of our articles to look the same. This one was particurlarly awkward because the image caption is so long (I looked at in 800x600 and it was even worse). If there's a particularly reason why it would be beneficial we can discuss, but if not, my own preference would be to leave it without one. Chick Bowen 02:41, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The infobox isn't necessary, but now there is no picture of Mário de Andrade on the article, not even the Segall painting. Macgreco 19:55, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The fair use of the Segall painting has been challenged by another editor. I'm looking for more information about the painting and Mário's role in it, but for now I've removed it. Chick Bowen 04:18, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Infobox redux
I see that someone has once again tried to add an infobox. The caveat here is that I am against them in general. But this article shows particularly clearly the problem with them. The recent attempt lists all of the occupations that are mentioned in the lead; I'll admit that I put them there in the first place, but in prose, not set out by themselves where they do nothing but confuse. Obviously Andrade is first and foremost a poet, as the lead makes clear, and as the infobox did not. The infobox also listed the pen name Mário Sobral, a name he used very briefly, for one early book that got very little attention; to list it right under his name is misleading. Isn't it better--clearer, more accurate--to provide all this information in prose, where it can be weighted appropriately and given its proper context, where we can say when he used the pen-name and when he dropped it, and when he lived in São Paulo and when he didn't and why he left and came back, where we can make clear why someone who never worked as a musician was educated at a music school: where, in short, we can provide a biography rather than a series of isolated facts that don't add up to an account of the man? Chick Bowen 06:53, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * However, we could use File:Ridiculous Bet in Teffé.jpg as the lead image. I hadn't recognized it as Mário because of the shade of the hat, but I now see it is a self-portrait.  Chick Bowen 07:01, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Photo of Mário de Andrade added to infobox
I was always bothered by the lack of a photo of Mário de Andrade in his own article so I uploaded one to Commons. I asked the kind folks in the Graphic labs to remove its background and other stuff. It seems another user was faster than I and added this photo. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it. Regards, --Lecen (talk) 11:47, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

WP:URFA/2020
I am reviewing this article as part of WP:URFA/2020, an initiative to review Wikipedia's older featured articles to ensure that they still meet the featured article criteria. I am concerned that the article might not meet the criteria anymore because there are uncited passages throughout the article. I also found some sources after a quick search that are not used in the article, which I have listed below: Considering that there are few inline citations, I think that more sources should be consulted to ensure that more information does not need to be added to the article. I also think that the larger sections can be broken up by level 3 headings and that some of the references should be listed as "Notes", but these are secondary concerns. Is anyone interested in addressing these concerns? If not, should this article go to FAR? Z1720 (talk) 18:03, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Comments

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. I already do a considerable amount of recent changes patrol, specialising in new pages patrol. I also vote to keep useful articles on the various "for deletion" debates rampaging around. I'm also somewhat interested in cleaning our our copyright violations, especially the massive backlog of images with no source or licensing information. One of my most important roles, I feel, is in welcoming new users; people are our best asset, and I have customised templates to make them feel welcome. Mentoring new users is always an option, if they request it.

 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. A tricky one; to narrow them all down. Well, my first major edit was to Federal Firearms License - it was the first article I really felt proud of afterwards. Since then, I've dipped my toes into a lot of things; many of which are articles I wouldn't necessarily have taken an interest in, but which I have been drawn to through new pages patrol; articles such as Wyatt Eaton, Mick Manning, etc. I am also the main organiser of the Featured Article Drive, which is now a helpdesk for those who'd like to see an article promoted to Featured Article status.

 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. Well, I'm notorious in some ways for being one of the initiators of the Ed Poor arbitration case earlier this year. Myself, and two of the other initiators were able to reach a resolution with Ed, and I feel we all came out of that learning some lessons about consensus; something which really can never be underestimated. I generally avoid making edits to really controversial articles such as abortion and the like, but that is probably from a lack of interest in those subjects. I am firmly against edit wars, wheel wars and abuses of power, and always work to maintain consensus, keep the quality of articles up, and make sure everyone is happy with things.

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page. No further edits should be made to this page.

Profsoyuznaya (Moscow Metro)

Profsoyuznaya (Профсоюзная. English: Trade Union's) is a station on the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya Line of the Moscow Metro. Opened in 1962.

Name
It is named after Profsoyuznaya Street (Trade Union street).

Design
Profsoyuznaya is built to a standard column tri-span and features pillars faced (except for very thin unfinished strips at the top and bottom) with gray marble. The walls are finished with a diamond pattern made up of 4×4 squares of white ceramic tile (similar to argyle patterns, albeit simplified with use of single color). The architects responsible for the station were Nina Aleshina and N. Demchinsky.

The two underground vestibules are located on Profsoyuznaya Street, at its intersection with Nakhimovsky Avenue known as Josip Broz Tito Square.

Foley Is Good

Foley Is Good: And the Real World Is Faker Than Wrestling is the second autobiography (2001) of wrestler Mick Foley, then retired from active wrestling in WWE. It details his career from January 1999 until his retirement in April 2000 at WrestleMania 2000.

History
As in his first book, Foley wrote this one without the aid of a ghostwriter.

Plot
The book covers the last years of Mick Foley's in-ring wrestling career up until the birth of his second son, Michael Francis Foley, Jr., which he mentions in the book's epilogue. It has a more celebratory tone than his first book, as he is writing about the time of his career where he has already achieved success. The book alternated between in-ring wrestling activities and Foley's life away from the ring. In the book, he also describes his obsessions, such as theme parks and Christmas.

He also writes about his experience writing his first book without the aid of a ghostwriter. He defends himself against being misquoted by news program 20/20, and explains the events surrounding his "I Quit" match with The Rock at the Royal Rumble in January 1999, which can also be seen in the documentary Beyond the Mat.

The book also heavily defends the World Wrestling Federation against accusations of being violent. Foley made an effort to pointedly refute claims made by detractors, citing statistical data and other evidence he compiled himself. He criticizes the actions of the Parents Television Council.

Promotion
To promote the book, Foley appeared on The Howard Stern Show and did a ten-city book signing tour.

After three press runs, the book had approximately 230,000 copies in print. In May 2001, the book was the number one nonfiction book on The New York Times bestseller list.

Bird's-eye view

A bird's-eye view is an elevated view of an object or location from a very steep viewing angle, creating a perspective as if the observer were a bird in flight looking downward. Bird's-eye views can be an aerial photograph, but also a drawing, and are often used in the making of blueprints, floor plans and maps.

Before crewed flight was common, the term "bird's eye" was used to distinguish views drawn from direct observation at high vantage locations (e.g. a mountain or tower), from those constructed from an imagined bird's perspectives. Bird's eye views as a genre have existed since classical times. They were significantly popular in the mid-to-late 19th century in the United States and Europe as photographic prints.

Terminology
The terms aerial view and aerial viewpoint are also sometimes used synonymous with bird's-eye view. The term aerial view can refer to any view from a great height, even at a wide angle, as for example when looking sideways from an airplane window or from a mountain top. Overhead view is fairly synonymous with bird's-eye view but tends to imply a vantage point of a lesser height than the latter term. For example, in computer and video games, an "overhead view" of a character or situation often places the vantage point only a few feet (a meter or two) above human height. See top–down perspective.

Recent technological and networking developments have made satellite images more accessible. Microsoft Bing Maps offers direct overhead satellite photos of the entire planet but also offers a feature named Bird's eye view in some locations. The Bird's Eye photos are angled at 40 degrees rather than being straight down. Satellite imaging programs and photos have been described as offering a viewer the opportunity to "fly over" and observe the world from this specific angle.

In filmmaking and video production, a bird's-eye shot refers to a shot looking directly down on the subject. The perspective is very foreshortened, making the subject appear short and squat. This shot can be used to give an overall establishing shot of a scene, or to emphasise the smallness or insignificance of the subjects. It is shot by lifting the camera up by hands or by hanging it off something strong enough to support it. When a scene needs a large area shot, it is a crane shot.

Bird's-eye views are common in the broadcasting of sports events, especially in the 21st century, with the increased usage of the Skycam and other devices like it, such as the CableCam and Spidercam.

Bird's-flight view
A distinction is sometimes drawn between a bird's-eye view and a bird's-flight view, or "view-plan in isometrical projection". Whereas a bird's-eye view shows a scene from a single viewpoint (real or imagined) in true perspective, including, for example, the foreshortening of more distant features, a bird's-flight view combines a vertical plan of ground-level features with perspective views of buildings and other standing features, all presented at roughly the same scale. The landscape appears "as it would unfold itself to any one passing over it, as in a balloon, at a height sufficient to abolish sharpness of perspective, and yet low enough to allow of distinct view of the scene beneath". The technique was popular among local surveyors and cartographers of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.

Talk:Virginia Madsen

Date of birth
I just corrected her DOB from Sept 11, 1961 to Sept 11, 1963, which is what was listed in imdb. Is there a controversy about her DOB? Or is this just a mistake? --Rogerd 00:21, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * After looking into it, it does say on quite a few sites that she graduated from high school in 1979. Also on ussearch.com there is a Virginia Madsen residing in Los Angeles, CA, age 44. --Fallout boy 08:59, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

No Sources
This article doesn't cite sources, so I added the little "nou sorces" template.

fire, hot, burn?
Is this sentence really needed? It's interesting but it is necessary in the bio of Virginia Madsen? Discuss?

sideways cap
I know we all like to avoid copyvios, but isn't making a modern movie capture look like a crappy scan of a 1920s film a little excessive? Should we convert all Wikipedia movie screenshots into blurry black and white? 69.137.223.153 18:23, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't see why we can't just get an image of her from one of her movies or award shows or something, then just either link it directly to the copyright owner or tag it with the appropriate copyright information; for example, in the page dedicated to the image itself, name the photographer, publisher, year, etc.... no one likes to see a goofy silhouette of a generic woman head when they're trying to find out just who that actor/-ress was.

Vandalism
The last picture, of her and Paul Giamatti in "Sideways", has been replaced by a low-resolution South Korean flag. I don't know how to fix this problem or to report it as vandalism. CielProfond 2007-04-21, 23:14 EDT.

Manchester and Southport Railway

The Manchester and Southport Railway in England was formed by an Act of 22 July 1847 to link Manchester and Southport. Before the line opened it was acquired jointly by the L&YR and the East Lancashire Railway (ELR) on 3 July 1854.

Wigan area
The line was opened in several sections. The first 3 miles were constructed in Wigan when on 20 November 1848 the L&YR opened its line from Walton Junction (in north Liverpool) to Lostock Junction on the L&YR line between Salford and Preston. There were two stations on this section, Wigan Wallgate and Hindley. Another station was opened later, on 1 June 1863, at Ince.

Southport end
The second section of line to open was on 9 April 1855 from Wigan Wallgate to Southport London Street, the first part of this line to Burscough Bridge was wholly owned by the L&YR, the remainder was jointly owned by the L&YR and the East Lancashire Railway (ELR). The delay in opening this section was due to L&YR finding itself in "severe financial difficulties" and it took the issue of a mandamus to spur the L&YR into action.

There were six stations on this section, described as "solid, substantial, well built of stone in the Elizabethan style, neat without undue ornament", on this section, Gathurst, Appley Bridge, Parbold (which became Parbold), Burscough Bridge, New Lane and Bescar Lane.

The line terminated at the ELR Southport London Street station which was still under construction at the time. Operations were transferred to Southport in 1857 with London Street station firstly becoming a 'repairing shed' (according to the 1894 Ordnance Survey), then becoming a goods station and ultimately being absorbed into Chapel Street station when it was rebuilt in 1914. Other stations were opened later, Blowick (which became Blowick) on 1 April 1870 and Hoscar on 1 November 1870. Finally St Luke's opened on 1 July 1883, this station became St Luke's and sometimes St Luke's Road.

Manchester end
The route utilised some existing infrastructure at its Manchester end. The line from Manchester Victoria to Salford Central was opened in 1844, prior to that the Manchester, Bolton & Bury Canal Company had opened a line in 1838 from Salford Central to Bolton Trinity Street and this line was utilised as far as Windsor Bridge, near the site of the present day Salford Crescent station.

A new line was constructed from Windsor Bridge junction to Hindley where it joined the existing line to Bolton and Bury, the former Liverpool and Bury Railway. This line opened in sections, firstly on 13 June 1887 from Windsor Bridge to Swinton with stations at Pendleton, Pendlebury and Swinton, Irlams o' th' Height was opened later in 1901.

The next section opened a year later on 2 July 1888, it ran as far as Atherton with stations at Moorside, Walkden and Atherton.

The final section of line from Atherton to Crow Nest Junction, just before Hindley station opened on 1 October 1888, there were stations at Hag Fold and Daisy Hill.

Subsequent ownership
The ELR was acquired by the L&YR on 13 August 1859 and from then the whole line was owned by the L&YR.

The route is still in use to day as Northern's Manchester to Southport Line.

The Death of Yugoslavia

The Death of Yugoslavia (broadcast as Yugoslavia: Death of a Nation in the US) is a BBC documentary series first broadcast in September and October 1995, and returning in June 1996. It is also the title of a BBC book by Allan Little and Laura Silber that accompanies the series. It covers the collapse of Yugoslavia, the subsequent wars and the signing of the final peace accords. It uses a combination of archived footage interspersed with interviews with most of the main players in the conflict, including Slobodan Milošević, Radovan Karadžić, Franjo Tuđman and Alija Izetbegović, as well as members of the international political community, who were active in the various peace initiatives.

The series was awarded a BAFTA award in 1996 for Best Factual Series. It also won the 1995 Peabody Award and the 1997 Gold Baton at the Alfred I. duPont–Columbia University Awards. Interviews for the series have been used by ICTY in war crimes prosecutions.

All the papers relating to the documentary series, including the full transcripts of the interviews, are lodged at the Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives at King's College, University of London.

Edits
The series was later re-edited and released in three parts:
 * 1) "Enter Milošević"

Talk:Ozzie Nelson

Eagle Scout
I edited the reference to Ozzie becoming the youngest Eagle Scout because the Boy Scouts do not keep records of Eagle Scout's ages. Do a Google search on "Younges Eagle Scout" and you find that quite a few people have claimed this. But the BSA can't verify it.

I'm sure that Ozzie was a Scout, and was a young Eagle Scout, but there is no way to verify that he was the youngest. Finbar 00:31, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

My father, Aloysius Bernard Cronin, born 2/23/08, lived in Hackensack, NJ and was a boy scout. Ozzie Nelson was a scout leader of his. They went camping at Bear Mountain on Friday nights. My Dad was the only Catholic in the troop and he couldn't eat meat on Friday. My Dad always packed a can of tuna fish for his meal on Friday nights. Ozzie Nelson made up the poem:

"Aloysius' only wish... That he could live on tuna fish."

My Dad also used to tell the story about how they hung their hammocks inside a pavillion at the park. Ozzie had been eating candies and discarding the wrappers onto the floor beneath his hammock. My Dad woke up in the middle of the night, and there was a skunk under Ozzie's hammock, licking the candy wrappers. Ozzie was dead asleep. Apparently, the skunk stayed there for some time, and my Dad was petrified that if he made a noise, that the skunk would get spooked and would spray all of them. He said he lay there frozen with fear for some time until the skunk eventually meandered off.

BTW, my Dad didn't think much of Ozzie.
