Talk:Matthew Carter

Untitled
can i see his works p.s...thank you for verdana. It's an amazing font. Funny how that touches people! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.116.93.229 (talk) 06:04, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

"He designs specifically for Apple and Microsoft computers." Whaaa? OK, #1, Microsoft doesn't make computers, they make software, including the operating systems for many brands of computers. You don't design "specifically for" multiple things, thats like saying you specifically walk using your left foot and your right foot only. It doesn't make sense...

Photo issue
The list of fonts he has designed overlaps slightly with the photograph near the bottom of the page. Can anyone make the list or photograph move?--Geracudd (talk) 00:24, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

GA informal sounding-out
I'm considering getting this to a GA nomination standard. This seems possible - there's piles of interviews and videos - but it would be my first BLP GA. Any thoughts? Blythwood (talk) 17:40, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

William J. Diehl

William J. Diehl (January 22, 1845 – September 22, 1929), served as Mayor of Pittsburgh from 1899 to 1901.

Early life
Diehl, born of German heritage in 1845, worked as a bookkeeper in his early career. He entered the public service as a Deputy Sheriff for four years followed by work in the city treasury office in the 1870s. His main fortune was in the oil and gas industries around the region and was President of the Wheeling Natural Gas Company in the 1880s. Diehl was also a thirty-third degree Mason. His great-grandfather was one of the organizers of the German Lutheran at the corner of Smithfield Street and Sixth Avenue.

Pittsburgh politics
During his two years as mayor, Diehl oversaw a city growing to its full commercial and industrial potential. The ritzy and exclusive business forum Duquesne Club was founded in the city, as well as the amalgamation of Andrew Carnegie's vast industrial empire into U.S. Steel was completed. Mayor Diehl's administration successfully completed the rudimentary expressway Bigelow Boulevard to the east neighborhoods of the city.

Mayor Diehl died in 1929 and is buried in Allegheny Cemetery in Pittsburgh.

Apparent fork of Copyrights. Or possibly a rewrite, since it doesn't have a talk page it's hard to tell. I don't think we should have variant duplicates of official policy pages, it's confusing. Radiant_ >|< 10:18, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

However, that is not a very good point imho since non-admins can always see the source of a permaprotected page, and should of course propose changes in some public place like the VP or AN.

Talk:Music (archaeology)

Classification
People who want to find stuff about music archaeology will look for it using search words like "music archaeology." So why not merge prehistoric music (specific) under Music Archaeology, (general)? Or Music (Archaeology). Bob Fink 2005-10-14 11:20:42

 * People who want to find out are just as likely to look for "prehistoric music" as for "music archaeology". And they are certainly not going to key in potential titles with brackets! I say the merge direction should be into prehistoric music. Bob - all four of the titles you created will still be there as redirects and, providing you put the word "archaeology" into the article, search engines will still find it using either of the key phrases. -- RHaworth 10:43, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Prehistoric music fits in with the articles on prehistoric art, prehistoric warfare etc so I'd rather see the merge continue this format. adamsan 21:31, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

ABC Classic

ABC Classic, formerly ABC-FM (also ABC Fine Music), and then ABC Classic FM, is an Australian classical music radio station available in Australia and internationally. Its website features classical music news, features and listening guides. It is operated by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).

History
ABC Classic was established in 1976 as "ABC-FM", and later for a short time was known as "ABC Fine Music" (a play on the letters FM). It became known as ABC Classic FM in 1994, before adopting its current name in January 2019. It was the ABC's first experiment in FM broadcasting – which had become a necessity in Australia as broadcasters ran out of AM frequencies on which to transmit. This was before most commercial stations had started using FM, and the ABC was first to use satellite transmissions. The creation of ABC Classic FM was inspired partly by the example of BBC Radio 3, and its focus was on fine music and the arts.

ABC Classic FM's studios were established at the ABC studios in Collinswood, a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. The ABC's decision to establish ABC Classic FM in Adelaide was significant because most of the ABC's radio and television national program original infrastructure was and is located in Sydney. However, staffing has been progressively cut over the years, from the starting base of 60 down to just five by 2015, a particularly savage round of cuts which included the loss of popular presenter Julia Lester when her job moved to the Sydney studios.

2019 rebrand
On 24 November 2018, the ABC announced that ABC Classic FM would undergo a major rebrand in 2019, and change its name to ABC Classic.

Programming
ABC Classic broadcasts classical music, operas, recitals and live concerts. Former "Classic Breakfast" producer Greg Keane has been critical of changes that were made to programming methods in 2016. He says that the use of G-Selector software has led to a "loss of thoughtful, varied and original programming devised by experienced producers". Around half of the music played is performed by Australian musicians, and the ABC Young Performers Awards are a way of supporting a younger generation of musicians.

Live music is an important feature of the programming, and past concerts are available online afterwards. but has reduced over time owing to budget cuts.

Events
A number of special events are held throughout the year, including:

Classic 100 Countdowns
Since 2001, ABC Classic FM has organised a number of Classic 100 Countdown surveys. The results of each survey are decided by votes cast by the listeners of the radio station. The works are broadcast in reverse order of popularity over three days. The countdown culminates in the broadcast of a live concert featuring the most popular pieces and finishes with the number one listener choice. A feature of the countdown is that each piece is kept secret until just before its broadcast (including the pieces featured in the final concert).

Classic 100 themes have included Love, Beethoven, Music in the Movies, Composers, and Dance.

AusMusic Month
Each November on ABC Classic is AusMusic Month, where Australian artists are heavily promoted. This includes more Australian composition broadcast every day; some free, limited-entry concerts around the country; all-Australian albums of the week; and many live Australian concerts.

News
In common with all ABC Radio stations (other than Triple J, which operates its own service), it also carries news bulletins produced by ABC News. On 19 December 2005, in line with the policy applied at every ABC Radio network (except Triple J and Radio Australia), these news bulletins became state-based rather than national.

FM broadcast frequencies
ABC Classic is broadcast in stereo FM across Australia on over more than 30 frequencies. Broadcast frequencies of the major Australian capital cities are listed below.

 * 92.9 FM - Sydney, New South Wales
 * 93.9 FM - Hobart, Tasmania
 * 97.7 FM - Perth, Western Australia
 * 102.3 FM - Canberra, Australian Capital Territory (alternative: 99.1 FM - Tuggeranong, ACT)
 * 103.9 FM - Adelaide, South Australia (alternative: 97.5 FM - Adelaide Foothills, SA)
 * 105.9 FM - Melbourne, Victoria
 * 106.1 FM - Brisbane, Queensland
 * 107.3 FM - Darwin, Northern Territory

ABC Classic 2
ABC Classic 2, a music-only talk-free streaming station, was established in June 2014. Programmed by the ABC Classic team, it broadcasts only via an online stream and is available on the ABC's Android and iOS apps. Classic 2 specialises in streaming popular styles of classical music. The music on Classic 2 is performed exclusively by leading Australian orchestras, ensembles and soloists.

Limelight magazine
The monthly arts magazine Limelight was, under its former name ABC Radio 24 Hours (1976–2003), originally owned and published by the ABC. It is now independently owned and published, but continues a strong, albeit unofficial, affiliation with the ABC and with ABC Classic in particular.

Bass Coast Rail Trail

The Bass Coast Rail Trail is a rail trail located in the Bass Coast Shire of Gippsland, Victoria, Australia.

The trail has been constructed along a section of the former Wonthaggi line. The trail starts at the former Anderson station and finishes shortly after the former Wonthaggi Station. The trail is 16 km long and travels from Anderson heading towards the coast downhill to Kilcunda, heading along coastal sand dunes into the open farmland surrounding Wonthaggi.

The original railway line opened in 1910, being used for the transport of coal from Kilcunda and Wonthaggi, and local agricultural produce, as well as for public transport. The line was closed in 1978.

Route description
From Anderson to Kilcunda the trail drops 40 m in height as it winds down through farming country. The rail trail at Kilcunda is built on the coastal sand dunes and incorporates a landmark trestle bridge over Bourne Creek. Path users have panoramic scenic views of the Bass Strait coast and the Wonthaggi Wind Farm that was erected during 2005.

Heading towards Wonthaggi, the trail passes through flat agricultural fields. The trail uses a few small bridges to cross the Powlett River and tributaries. The entire trail near is packed gravel and features the heritage listed Wonthaggi station, and the historic Central Mine Reserve.

Attractions on the trail

 * Anderson Station
 * Kilcunda Station
 * Kilcunda trestle bridge over Bourne Creek
 * Dalyston Station
 * Branch off towards the former Dudley Area mine
 * State Mine Station (the trail passes through the location, however it is not officially marked)
 * Wonthaggi Station

Phil Baroni

Philip George Baroni (April 16, 1976) is an American former mixed martial artist, kickboxer, boxer, and professional wrestler. Baroni competed in the UFC, PRIDE, Strikeforce, Cage Rage, DREAM, EliteXC, Bellator MMA, BKFC, and ONE FC.

As of January 2023, Phil Baroni is detained in Valle de Banderas, Mexico, over an alleged murder of his girlfriend.

Background
Baroni was born Phillip George Baroni in Massapequa Park in Long Island, New York to American parents. His father was a prominent New York attorney and his mother was a homemaker. Phillip attended Massapequa High School where he was on the wrestling team. Baroni grew up having multiple street fights, a precursor to his career. The Baronis were next door neighbors of Jerry Seinfeld's parents. Baroni attended Nassau Community College and became a two time All-American wrestler there, placing fifth and second in the nation. However, during the later part of his senior year he was expelled. Baroni then attended Hofstra University before transferring to Central Michigan University on a scholarship, where he was a double major in biology and psychology. He was also an amateur bodybuilder from the age of 17 to 20, competing in six shows, in which he placed either first or second. He studied kickboxing under Keith Trimble, and had seven matches, winning all by knockout. He also competed in 10 amateur boxing matches, also winning all 10 by knockout.

UFC
Baroni debuted in the UFC in only his second professional fight, at UFC 30 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The bout was against fellow striking specialist Curtis Stout, and Baroni won by unanimous decision. Baroni was an undefeated 3-0 before getting his second fight with the UFC at UFC 34 against Matt Lindland, whom Baroni would develop a rivalry with later in their careers. Baroni lost the fight by decision, and was handed his first professional loss. However, Baroni would then quickly make a name for himself in the UFC with several impressive stoppage victories. His signature win was a decisive KO victory over former UFC Middleweight Champion Dave Menne on September 27, 2002. Baroni famously jumped on the top of the cage and proclaimed himself to be the "best eva" after the knockout of Menne.

Baroni then rematched Matt Lindland to whom he had previously lost to by judges' decision. In their rematch, Baroni suffered a second loss to Lindland by another judges' decision. He was then matched up against a teammate of Matt Lindland, future UFC Middleweight Champion Evan Tanner at UFC 45 – Revolution. Baroni dominated the beginning of the match against Tanner, but when the fight was stopped to check a cut on Tanner, Tanner regained his composure and the momentum turned, leading to the referee stopping the fight due to Baroni taking several undefended strikes on the ground. This decision was controversial as the referee Larry Landless had asked Baroni if he wanted to quit. Baroni said he believed he was asked if he wanted to continue, and said "yes". Landless stopped the bout, and was struck by a furious Baroni. Baroni was subsequently suspended for 4 months for striking the official. Upon his return Baroni got a rematch with Tanner at UFC 48 – Payback but went on to lose via decision.

Despite losing three fights in a row, the UFC matched Baroni against the relatively unknown Pete Sell. Following training with Enson Inoue, Baroni dominated early on with numerous takedowns and a dominant standup, however, Sell secured a guillotine choke and Baroni appeared to lose consciousness, but then tapped out for the first time in his career thereby ending the fight.

PRIDE
Baroni joined Hammer House soon thereafter and rebounded in Japan's PRIDE Fighting Championships promotion with several knockout victories against Ikuhisa Minowa, Ryo Chonan, and Yuki Kondo. On June 4, 2006, Baroni was summarily defeated by Ikuhisa Minowa, whom he had developed a rivalry with, via unanimous decision in the Bushido Welterweight Grand Prix 183 lb tournament in 2005.

On October 21, 2006 Baroni captured a victory over boxer turned mixed martial artist Yosuke Nishijima via kimura in the first round at PRIDE 32, PRIDE's first American show. In the post-fight interview Baroni humorously admitted that he did not know the name of the hold he applied and only saw it on television a couple days before the fight.

Feud with Frank Shamrock
Frank Shamrock and Baroni had engaged in a war of words following Shamrock's fight with Renzo Gracie. The two faced off at Strikeforce Shamrock vs. Baroni, a co-promotion between EliteXC and Strikeforce on June 22, 2007 on Pay-Per-View. Shamrock defeated Baroni, knocking him down with punches in the first round and finishing him off with a rear naked choke in the second round. It was ruled a technical submission victory for Shamrock as Baroni was choked unconscious before he could tap. Baroni stated many times that he was not going to tap anyway.

Steroid use
Following the Shamrock fight, the California State Athletic Commission announced that Baroni tested positive for two types of anabolic steroids, boldenone and stanozolol. Baroni appealed the $2500 fine and faced a one-year suspension. Ultimately, the fine was upheld although the suspension was reduced to six months.

Baroni had asked that the remaining urine from the test conducted by Quest be sent to the Carlson Company, a laboratory located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. While it did not appear among the 40 facilities recommended by the CSAC, Carlson appealed to the fighter as a rare lab that tested for both DNA and steroids.

There was not enough of a sample for the lab to determine the identity of its owner, though Carlson apparently had enough to determine the sample they received from Quest did not contain boldenone or stanozolol.

ICON Sport
Baroni faced Hawaii's Kala Hose on March 15, 2008 for the vacant ICON Sport Middleweight title. Former champion Robbie Lawler was stripped of the title due to his inability to defend it on numerous occasions. While Baroni came out strong during the first round of the fight, his stamina began to fade and Hose started to dominate the fight. Hose ultimately defeated Baroni by TKO early in the fifth round to become the new ICON Sport Middleweight Champion.

EliteXC
Baroni fought Joey Villasenor in the first ever live network television broadcast of MMA on CBS. In the beginning of the fight Baroni caught Villasenor's high kick which brought him down to the mat, where Baroni threw punches from guard. Baroni then let Villasenor stand up, Baroni then got struck a few times and was put into a guillotine choke. Villasenor then let go of the choke and started delivering unanswered punches that dazed Baroni, prompting the referee to stop the fight at the 1:11 mark of the opening round. This was Baroni's second consecutive TKO loss.

Cage Rage
Baroni made his Cage Rage and Welterweight debut at Cage Rage 27 on July 12, 2008, against British fighter Scott Jansen. He began the fight with a takedown, and came close to finishing the fight with an armbar with which he appeared to hyper-extend Jansen's arm. Following a standup call from the referee, the two fighters exchanged blows, Baroni throwing a right to the body, followed by a right-handed punch which to Jansen's chin. Jansen dropped, his head bouncing off the floor.

Baroni went to check on Jansen and was attacked by Jansen's brother who had made his way into the cage with the cornermen.

Strikeforce
In his second appearance in the promotion, he lost to Joe Riggs at Strikeforce: Lawler vs. Shields on June 6, 2009 in St. Louis, Missouri at Scottrade Center.

Return to UFC
In late 2009 Baroni returned to once again fight in the UFC. He signed a multi-fight deal and his return fight was at UFC 106 on November 21, 2009 against TUF 7 winner Amir Sadollah. Sadollah defeated Baroni by unanimous decision.

After a decision loss to Sadollah, Phil Baroni spent 2 months in Phuket, Thailand learning Muay Thai at Tiger Muay Thai (TMT) with legendary coach Kru Yod. He practiced kicks, knees and elbows to improve his striking game. The TMT crew posted videos of Baroni's workouts, showing how the training sessions improved Baroni's stand up technique, and how his work with nutritionists and strength and conditioning coaches had brought Baroni back into good shape in two months.

Baroni stated his intention to return to the Middleweight division.

Baroni was scheduled to face John Salter on August 28, 2010 at UFC 118, however he was forced off the card with an injury.

Baroni next fought TUF 11 alumnus Brad Tavares at UFC 125. After dropping Tavares with a left hook early, Baroni was caught with a high kick in the later part of the round with Tavares eventually securing the TKO victory. At the post-fight interview with Ariel Helwani, Baroni said that he was expecting to be cut from UFC, but would not quit. Baroni was then subsequently released.

He left the UFC with a record of 3 wins and 7 losses.

Post UFC
After his UFC release, less than two weeks later, Baroni signed a new multi-fight contract with Titan Fighting Championships. He fought at Titan Fighting Championships 17 against Nick Nolte. He won the fight via unanimous decision.

Baroni returned from shoulder surgery against local favorite Chris Holland on June 2, 2012 at Ring of Fire 43: Bad Blood. Baroni dominated Holland in the first round, taking Holland down multiple times and landing heavy punches that opened a gash above Holland's left eyebrow. Baroni was visibly tired heading into the second round and was rocked by multiple hooks from Holland, Baroni ended up losing via TKO due to punches in the second round.

ONE Fighting Championship
On July 18 it was announced that Baroni would be facing Yoshiyuki Yoshida at ONE Fighting Championship: Champion vs. Champion at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on September 3. Baroni lost the fight via unanimous decision. After the fight Baroni had surgery on a shoulder injury which had affected him since college.

Baroni was scheduled to face Roger Huerta at ONE FC: Destiny of Warriors on June 23 but he was pulled from the fight after his TKO loss to Chris Holland on June 2.

On August 31, 2012 Baroni faced Rodrigo Ribeiro at ONE FC: Pride of a Nation. Baroni stunned Ribeiro with the first punch he threw, Baroni chased a wobbly Ribeiro landing heavy punches as the Brazilian retreated; Baroni then knocked Ribeiro down with a punch combination and finished the fight due to soccer kicks and punches just sixty seconds into round one. Baroni became the first man to ever knock out Ribeiro, the 60-second victory marks Baroni's first knockout win in over four years.

General Criticisms(non-germaine to article)
Wikipedia should let everyone edit everything including the article because the bad translation is actually in the American version and not considered stereotypical but for kids in the Japanese version. Kind of like Super Sentai spin offs in the 1990's there are card game spin offs in 2000's.

I and a lot of People who have seen the series,at least on RTL2 through satelite,in the Czech republic,critisize this series for the following reasons: 1.Its main charachter bears almost and identical(an unntaural) hair-cut of Yugi Muto in Duel Monsters. 2.The character of Shobu is beleived to be a mix of Yugi Muto form YU-Gi-Oh and Tyson from beyblade. 3.Shobus friend Rikota is almost identical to Kenny from Beyblade.
 * Wikipedia does allow you to edit everything in this article! --Squilibob 01:43, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

1.Shobu's hair does not look like Yugi's.You could pick out any anime character with spiky hair and say that.

2.I don't care if it's a mix.So,having some of the same personality traits is ripping off?And it's a bad thing?

3.They do look a little alike.They are also similar in their roles in the show.You got me there(kind of).

Prequel:(ad 1:well,I'll tell you this,take a picture of both Yugi Muto (Atem) and Shobu and blank them to a black siluete). And Two things: 1:4.I also have a forth complain,about the at points weird and un-expected conversations (a lot of sensless talk,witch is suposed to be funny).

and 2:to "weasel words" Oh yeah?,go to [] and those that can read czech will definitly find this as ABSOLUTELY TRUE! NEW BABYLON

Why they changed the show radically for America
It's not all that hard to imagine why. Just think about it, you're a lead creative of a large american media empire, and you are shown a new franchise fresh in from Japan. It's totally and exactly like Yu-Gi-Oh! - to the point of potentially becoming a plagiarism lawsuit time-bomb -, and to add to your plight, it's badly animated, contains silly and non-funny comedy elements, ugly-as-hell 3d rendered cutscenes, and has a below average, typical cardgame anime storyline. Who would watch it? But hey! Let's spice it up a bit... It's already an unwilling parody of the genre, let's make it into a willing one! Then instead of being plagiarism, it will be parody. Instead of lame, it will be funny... And instead of below average, it will be UNIQUE. With all the silly words in bad Japanese used in the duels, with all the monologues making fun of anime cliches, it will be something totally new. And people will watch it for that.

It seems it did work more-or-less, at least the franchise is still alive.

Wilderns 17:56, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Wizards' terrible marketing is what ruined it. Not to mention, the show was done the wrong way: geared to the wrong audience, and of course edited and dubbed to a typical Americanized anime nightmare... Personally, I think it would've done better taking place within the world of Duel Masters, about the war between the civilizations. 69.214.14.113 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:06, 24 January 2010 (UTC).

 * It should but since the article is alreayd tag as needing server attention i think that suggest the article is of poor standard, but there no point adding information like that if it cant be sourced in some way as it makes hte artilce even worse and more work to do-- Andrewcrawford ( talk  -  contrib ) 14:28, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Out of order, lots of information lacking, rather American-focused
Well, the article needs a lot of work. Since I know next to nothing about the subject, I'm just going to make some (hopefully constructive) suggestions…

Firstly, it's not at all clear which area the franchise began with — the manga or the game. I think it makes the most sense if the article is ordered chronologically so far as that goes (right now, the section on the game comes first).

Relatedly, the origin of the card game is told out of order and confusingly:
 * ''The card game was made by Wizards of the Coast. When importing the game from Japan

'' This is, of course, inconsistent. Tell us first about the Japanese company which actually made the game!

Meanwhile, the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise comes to us out of nowhere. The first mention on the page is in the subsection "Differences between the versions", discussing the anime.
 * While the Japanese version seems to rely more on visual and situational humor, the American version tends to use much more verbal humor. Also, while the Japanese version is mostly a traditional card-game show with much humor, the American version is a flat-out parody of the genre. For example, many times in Yu-gi-oh [never mentioned before in this article] Yugi would say "Believe in the heart of your cards," which Shobu also says in Duel Masters.

It would appear that either Duel Masters or Yu-Gi-Oh is strongly influenced by the other franchise, but since the relevant years aren't given, we can't tell which came first. Yu-Gi-Oh, being both very popular and similar, should probably be mentioned in the intro.

Finally, the "Characters" are written as though they come from the anime, but presumably they all first appeared in the manga, so it would make more sense for them to be listed in a subsection under "Manga", with the information on voice actors moved to a subsection under "Anime".

Bias
There is a LOT of bias in the "differences between versions" section ("In all honesty, the japanese version is more serious than the english"? really? how do WE know that? people say that so much about all the dubs. we don't know about the cultural connatations!) Also, it honestly looks like a weeaboo edited that. The terms that they used are just regular Japanese. Can a fan of this series please check it over, because I have no idea if these terms are meant to be exclusive to Duel Masters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.117.244.25 (talk) 23:19, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

OTHER Video Game?
Sorry, but this article is perhaps one of the worst I've seen on here. Aside from anything else, it doesn't mention there WAS a Duel Masters video game released outside of Japan on the PS2, simply titled "Duel Masters". It features five game-exclusive player characters, each of whom specialise in one of the five civilisations. Knight from the Anime appears to each of them in order to make them raise their ranks to "Master", obtain so-called legendary cards for their element and then face off against Widow who wants to control the civilisations for herself. The game also had OPEN cheat codes, which were all accessed by holding R3 and pressing certain buttons (X-[]-Triangle, for example, would take one card from your deck and add it to your shields). Overall, I think this other video game needs recognition. Jonouchisan (talk) 05:50, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Which idea was first?
Seriously, which idea was first? Was it originally a manga that evolved into TCG, anime and so on, or the TCG idea came out first but started with manga? JSH-alive/talk/cont/mail 08:05, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Manga turned into Anime Series and corresponding TCG. Yami Michael (talk) 13:35, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Based on release dates? Yes. But we don't know how (Takara) Tomy planned the franchise. We need more resources on how they developed the entire franchise. JSH-alive/talk/cont/mail 17:19, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * You would think I'm kidding...but that sort of resource just doesn't exist. The main sites for the game are the English wikia, as well as a Japanese atwiki site. Both cant really be taken as a "source", and the takaratomy site is more kid-focused, and doesn't really feature articles and details about design (like how Magic design the game/franchise). If I find anything decent, I'll post it, but yeah.

Info on the manga at all is usually sparse and spread between places (including the JPN wikipedia page). Other then when it changed for a series to promote Magic the Gathering, there was no real plan to switch to a TCG. They might have been planning it from book 1 (until book 7/8 switched to the Duel Masters game) or it was a last minute thing, and then the game and anime followed. Too hard to determine. :/ Yami Michael (talk) 18:16, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * You know... I think this is the only mention throughout all of the article and the Talk page (and probably anything on English Wikipedia relating to Duel Masters) about the Duel Masters manga first using Magic: the Gathering before making its own pale imitation.

Henry P. Ford

Henry Parker Ford (October 15, 1837 – April 21, 1905) was mayor of Pittsburgh from 1896 to 1899.

Early life
Henry Parker Ford was born in Hudson, New York in 1837. He first worked as an accountant, experiencing much success in the trade. His skills in finance served him well in the expanding commercial center of Pittsburgh and led to his association in many industries in the city. He founded Emerson, Ford and Company, a manufacturing concern whose specialty was saw blades. In 1881 he was elected to city council.

Pittsburgh politics
For a city that sometimes goes by the nickname "city of bridges" and claims to have more bridges than any other city outside of Venice, Italy, Mayor Ford was perfect. He was the founder of the city's department of bridges during his term. Ford also oversaw the creation of Pittsburgh Police Department's bicycle patrol in 1896, as well as the first water filtration in the city.

Ford died in 1905. He is buried in Homewood Cemetery on the city's east end.

East Asian rainy season

The East Asian rainy season, also called the plum rain, is caused by precipitation along a persistent stationary front known as the Meiyu front for nearly two months during the late spring and early summer in East Asia between China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan. The wet season ends during the summer when the subtropical ridge becomes strong enough to push this front north of the region. These weather systems can produce heavy rainfall and flooding.

Etymology
In China, the term "plum rain" was used for the rain in the fourth and fifth lunar month. It specifically refers to the historical belief that, when the plums turn yellow and fall at the south of the Yangtze in the fourth and fifth months, the moisture that evaporates from the plant turns into rain.

The term appears in the following poem by Du Fu (fl. 8th century) of the Tang dynasty:

"梅雨 南京犀浦道，四月熟黃梅. 湛湛長江去，冥冥細雨來. 茅茨疏易溼，雲霧密難開. 竟日蛟龍喜，盤渦與岸迴.

Plum rain On the Xipu road from the Southern Capital [present-day Chengdu], the fourth month ripens the yellow p[r]unus. The long river goes off surging, and, darkening, a fine rain comes. Roof-thatch, loosely bound, is easily soaked, clouds and fog are dense and will not lift. All day long the dragons delight, whirlpools turning with the bank."

Japan later adapted and transliterated the Chinese term "plum rain" to call the rainy season tsuyu (梅雨).

The season is instead commonly called Jangma (장마) in Korea, which means "long rain". The term was originally spelled Dyangmah (댱맣) in 1500s, which was the mix of the hanja character 長 ("long") and the old native Korean word 맣 (mah, "rain"). The word Dyangmah eventually transformed from Jyangma (쟝마) in 1700s to the current form of Jangma after the 1900s.

Formation
An east–west zone of disturbed weather during spring along this front stretches from the east China coast, initially across Taiwan and Okinawa, later, when it has shifted to the north, eastward into the southern peninsula of South Korea and Japan. In Taiwan and Okinawa, the rainy season usually lasts from May to June. In Russian Primorsky Krai, Japan, and Korea, it lasts from June to July (approximately 50 days). In eastern China (especially the Yangtze and Huai River regions), it lasts from July to August.

The weather front forms when the moist air over the Pacific meets the cooler continental air mass. The front and the formation of frontal depressions along it brings precipitation to Primorsky Krai, Japan, Korea, eastern China, and Taiwan. As the front moves back and forth depending on the strength of cool and warm air masses, there is often prolonged precipitation and sometimes flooding in eastern China. However, in the years that it does not rain as much as usual, a drought might result. The rainy season ends when the warm air mass associated with the subtropical ridge is strong enough to push the front north and away.

Effects
The high humidity in the air during this season encourages the formation of mold and rot not only on food but on fabrics as well. Environmentally, heavy rains encourage mudslides and flooding in all areas affected. The most rain in a one-hour period as recorded in Japan was in Nagasaki in 1982 with 153 mm. The highest overall recorded rainfall during the rainy season in Japan was in 2003 when Miyazaki Prefecture recorded rains of 8670 mm.

Japan
In Japan, the rainy season is called tsuyu (梅雨), and lasts from early June to mid-July in most of the country (Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoku), approximately June 7 to July 20 in the Kansai and Kantō regions in Honshū. The tsuyu season is roughly a month earlier (early May through mid-June) in Okinawa (the southernmost region of the country). There is no pronounced tsuyu season in Hokkaidō (the northernmost region of the country) because the tsuyu front usually attenuates before it reaches the region so that it cannot produce the abundant rainfall. Tsuyu is also known as literally "the fifth-month rain (in the Japanese traditional calendar)", roughly corresponding to June in the modern calendar (五月雨). The pop artist Eiichi Ohtaki produced a popular song by this name, and a Second World War Japanese naval ship was also given this name.

The rains in the middle of November - early December are sometimes called the sazanka tsuyu, literally "rainy season of the camellia" because the timing coincides with the blossoming of the seasonal flower.

Korea
The rainy season is between June and mid-July. It is caused by hot and humid high pressure forming in the Sea of Okhotsk due to the North Pacific anticyclone combining with Asiatic continental high pressure. When the two meteorological events meet they form a long jangmajeonseon (, from and ). Beginning in late May, the North Pacific high pressure forces the weaker continental anticyclone south of Okinawa Island. This fall to the south then reverses and gradually strengthens as it moves northwards back towards the Korean peninsula. On landfall, heavy monsoon rains lead to torrential downpours and flooding. By August the system has weakened as the southern systems retreat towards the Philippine archipelago.

By early autumn, the North Pacific high-pressure system is pushed away as Asiatic continental cold high pressure moves southwards. This produces inclement weather although not on the scale of the summer monsoons. Korea can, however, be struck by typhoons during this period.

Timing
In some years, the rainy season's actual beginning and end are under debate. For example, in 2005, the subtropical ridge moved quickly northward in late June/early July. The weather front skipped the Yangtze region and there was no rainy season there. Then, the ridge retreated southward and there was significant rainfall in the region. This gave rise to the question of whether this was the summer-type rainfall pattern that is common after the first rainy season or the second rainy season. Some meteorologists even argued that the rainy period in late June was not a true rainy season.

Leland Olds

Leland Olds (December 31, 1890 – August 5, 1960) was an American economist interested in labor, development of public electric power, and ecology.

Education
Olds was a son of George Olds, president of Amherst College. He studied mathematics at Amherst where he was influenced by the social work movement and the Social Gospel.

Early career
"Jolly, witty, informal" as well as "very fair-minded" and an accomplished cellist, Olds had been a minister, a teacher at Amherst, a researcher both for the federal government and the American Federation of Labor and a labor journalist. During 1918 and 1919 he was, along with Thorstein Veblen, part of the original Technical Alliance- a forerunner to the Technocracy movement In 1920 he met Franklin D. Roosevelt, Governor of New York, who appointed him to the New York State Power Authority.

In 1936, Olds served on Roosevelt's Presidential Inquiry Commission on Cooperative Enterprise in Europe.

Philosophy
Olds was a deeply religious and idealistic man, who after a long search for a worthy cause to give purpose to his life, had completely dedicated himself to the public power fight. Wide availability of cheap power was crucial, Olds felt, for the social well-being of the mass of the American people.

He believed in the "complete passing of the old order of capitalism". A complete transformation of the American economic system was needed, which had to depart from its laissez-faire impetus and economic individualism. As an alternative, Olds favored consumer cooperation as the basis of a new American economic model. Complementary to his cooperative beliefs, Olds was "very much consumer oriented". Olds believed that, together with regulation and community owned power generation and distribution, consumer cooperation was the key to a fair power policy. In 1927 Olds advocated the operating of all hydropower utilities as "giant consumer cooperatives".

Olds's cooperative beliefs had come in the place of his earlier radicalism. In 1930 and 1931 he served as the "manager" of the American lecture tour of the famed Irish poet and cooperative propagandist Æ (George Russell). AE's charisma convinced Olds even further of the necessity to organize all of society along cooperative lines.

Appointed to the FPC
Roosevelt appointed him to the Federal Power Commission in June 1939, and he served as chairman of the commission from January, 1940 until 1949.

Under his leadership the Federal Power Commission successfully pressured electric utilities to extend power into neglected rural areas and to lower electricity rates in order to increase use. When the rate reforms went into effect in Chicago the dramatic increase of usage actually resulted in an increase in the profits for the now regulated utility. This paved the way for much of the success of the American middle class in the duration of the 20th century. In 1961 Leland Olds Station was named after him for efforts towards the power cooperative.

Unsuccessful re-nomination
His insistence on enforcing the Natural Gas Act of 1938 raised the ire of the Texas oil industry and led to the end of his career at the Federal Power Commission. Robert Caro's book Master of the Senate describes how Lyndon B. Johnson, whose campaign in the 1948 United States Senate election in Texas received extensive funding from the oil industry, defeated Olds' re-appointment by orchestrating a smear campaign to accuse Olds of Communist sympathies. This involved utilizing the staff of the House Un-American Activities Committee to dig up old writings which were then taken out of context to falsely paint Olds as a communist or communist sympathizer. The subcommittee in charge of reappointment was stacked against Olds, and anti-Olds witnesses appearing before the committee were coached by Johnson.

Personal life
Olds was married to textile artist Ruth Reeves from 1916 to 1922. His second wife was Maud Agnes Spear, with whom he had four children, including James Olds.

Hello and welcome to my humble place, my name is Andreas Brandt, 28 years old.

I made this account because I am planning to write an article about the war statistics from the Yugoslavic wars.

If you have any kind of knowledge in this subject, please write on my talkpage.

Thank You !

OBSERVE! I have been trying to gather some help for the article, for example I have sent several messages to different users familiar with the subject but none of them are interrested, so I guess this account won't be necessary since it looks like there won't be a article at all.

RealPC

RealPC was a Macintosh program that emulates an x86 PC, allowing the use of MS-DOS, Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows 98. RealPC was compatible with PowerPC Macs running system software 7.1.2 through 9.2. Requirements were: Any Power Macintosh or Mac OS compatible, System 7.1.2 or later, Minimum 16 Mbytes of Ram, hard drive space for 50 Mbytes (MS-DOS), 60 Mbytes (Windows 3.x), 130 Mbytes (Windows 95), and any Macintosh compatible CD-ROM drive. RealPC emulated a Pentium-based PC with MMX technology, supported Sound Blaster and MMX, and allowed you to use a Macintosh joystick, allowing you to run PC programs, including MS-DOS, and Windows, games and applications, alongside your existing Macintosh applications. RealPC was provided with MS-DOS 6.22 already installed, so you could immediately run MS-DOS games and applications on your Macintosh. Linux was not supported and due to shared RAM between Mac OS and RealPC Windows 98 was the reasonable limit. RealPC was able to convert Virtual-PC hard disk files to use and run the installed OS. Its box and CD featured the image of silent film star Harold Lloyd. RealPC was discontinued in 2003.

Peter Duck

Peter Duck is the third book in the Swallows and Amazons series by Arthur Ransome. The Swallows and Amazons sail to Crab Island with Captain Flint and Peter Duck, an old sailor, to recover buried treasure. During the voyage the Wildcat (Captain Flint's ship) is chased by another vessel, the Viper, whose piratical crew are also intending to recover the treasure.

The book, first published in 1932, is considered to be one of the metafictional books in the series, along with Missee Lee and perhaps Great Northern?. Most of the book was written in Aleppo where Ransome was staying with the Altounyans.

Chronology
By publication date, Peter Duck is the third book in the series, but the story is supposed to be one created by the Swallows and Amazons while staying on a Norfolk wherry with Captain Flint in the winter between the first two books. Two early chapters describing this creation process were written by Arthur Ransome before he started Swallowdale. This opening was discarded from the final version of the book when it was published after Swallowdale. However, Peter Duck is mentioned in Swallowdale as Titty's imaginary friend from a story made up by the Swallows and Amazons.

Plot summary
The Swallows and Amazons are in Lowestoft, preparing for a cruise aboard a schooner, the Wild Cat, with Captain Flint, the Blacketts' uncle Jim Turner. Unfortunately the other adult (Sam Bideford) cannot come and so the cruise is threatened until Peter Duck, an elderly seaman, offers to come along to help. In the harbour a larger black schooner, the Viper, is fitting out for a voyage and Peter Duck's presence aboard the Wild Cat interests Black Jake, the Viper’s captain. Peter Duck spins a yarn about a treasure that he saw being buried long ago, when marooned on a desert island in the Caribbean Sea, and which Black Jake wants to find. When the Wild Cat sails, the Viper is quick to follow and trails her down the English Channel, at one point threatening to board her in the night.

In a fog off Land's End, the crew of the Wild Cat give the Viper the slip but pick up the Viper’s cabin boy, Bill, who has been set adrift to try and fool the Wild Cat’s crew with false signals. They continue across the Atlantic Ocean to Crab Island where they spend several days searching in vain for Peter Duck's treasure.

When a hurricane blows up, Peter Duck and Captain Flint take the Wild Cat out to sea to ride out the storm, leaving the Swallows and Amazons ashore. There is an earthquake during the storm, and when the schooner returns all the paths to the treasure-hunters' camp are blocked by landslides and fallen trees. However, a fallen palm tree exposes a small box, Peter Duck's treasure, which the children recover. They decide to sail round to the anchorage as the land route is blocked.

While Captain Flint attempts to cross the island to rescue the Swallows and Amazons, the Viper arrives and Peter Duck and Bill are captured. The crew of the Viper also go ashore to look for the treasure. The children rescue Peter Duck and Bill, and then the Wild Cat sails back to the other side and they pick up Captain Flint just before Black Jake arrives. They attempt to sail away from the island but the wind dies and the Viper looks like catching them, but they are saved by a waterspout which destroys the Viper. They return home safely without further incident. The contents of the treasure chest proves to be a collection of nautical literature and a sizeable number of pearls, which --- though indeed of considerable value --- turn out to not really be worth the vast fortune that one might have expected in a buccaneer's buried chest. The story's main characters divide up the assets appropriately, with funds going to sensible and practical ventures.

Gumbay Piang

Datu Gumbay Piang (1905 - November 9, 1949) was a Maguindanaon leader.

Gumbay Piang was born in Dulawan, Cotabato district, Moro Province (present-day Datu Piang, Maguindanao del Sur) in 1905, a son of the Moro leader Datu Piang from his sixth wife, Polindao. He was trained as a pedagogist at the then-US-administered Philippine Normal School in Manila. Gumbay worked his way through the bureaucracy where he served for different school boards of his province.

When the Second World War erupted, Gumbay Piang, along with fellow Moro leaders such as Salipada Pendatun, organized the famed resistance group named the Moro-Bolo Battalion during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines to fight the Japanese. The insignia of the group was the bolo and the kris, the respective weapons of Christian and Muslim populations, respectively, symbolizing a united front against the Japanese aggressors. The Moro-Bolo Battalion consisted of about 20,000 men. Gumbay Piang's Cotabato Moros used Bolo knives to fight the Japanese,  and swore that they would "fight to the last".

He was forced to retire from the resistance as a prisoner of war as he suffered chronic asthma attacks. When the Philippines was liberated from the Japanese Imperial forces. In 1946, he ran for Congress in the First Republic of the Philippines and won, representing the lone district of Cotabato. In 1949, he succumbed to death in Manila due to asthma, marking the quiet exit of the Piangs from national politics.

Proof by assertion

Proof by assertion, sometimes informally referred to as proof by repeated assertion, is an informal fallacy in which a proposition is repeatedly restated regardless of contradiction and refutation. The proposition can sometimes be repeated until any challenges or opposition cease, letting the proponent assert it as fact, and solely due to a lack of challengers (argumentum ad nauseam). In other cases, its repetition may be cited as evidence of its truth, in a variant of the appeal to authority or appeal to belief fallacies.

Proof by assertion can also occur when the evidence cited is actually no different than the assertion itself. An argument that actually contains premises that are all the same as the assertion is thus proof by assertion.

This fallacy is sometimes used as a form of rhetoric by politicians, or during a debate as a filibuster. In its extreme form, it can also be a form of brainwashing. Modern politics contains many examples of proofs by assertion. This practice can be observed in the use of political slogans, and the distribution of "talking points", which are collections of short phrases that are issued to members of modern political parties for recitation, and in order to achieve maximum message repetition. The technique is also sometimes used in advertising.

Carl Reinhold Sahlberg

Carl Reinhold Sahlberg  (January 22, 1779, Eura – October 18, 1860, Yläne) was a Finnish naturalist, primarily an entomologist specializing in beetles. He was the father of entomologist Reinhold Ferdinand Sahlberg (1811-1874), grandfather of entomologist Johan Reinhold Sahlberg (1845-1920), and great grandfather of Uunio Saalas (1882-1969).

Biography
In 1818 Carl Reinhold Sahlberg succeeded Carl Niclas Hellenius as professor of economy and natural history at Finland’s then only University in Turku (Åbo), the Academy of Åbo. In 1827 the town and the university were destroyed by fire. The remnants of the natural history collections were taken to Helsinki where the University then moved under the name of Imperial Alexander University in Finland (and eventually became University of Helsinki in 1918). Sahlberg replaced the lost collections, played a major role in establishing a new botanical garden in Helsinki, and with his pupils organised a scientific society "Societas pro Fauna et Flora Fennica". Its only scope was natural history. The society widened to include other sectors of biology only in 1921.

Sahlberg's son Reinhold Ferdinand Sahlberg, grandson Johan Reinhold Sahlberg and his son Uunio Saalas were also entomologists.

Works

 * Dissertatio entomologica insecta Fennica enumerans (Coleoptera) 1834

Collections
Sahlberg's insect collection is in the Finnish Museum of Natural History.

Lewis Evans (surveyor)

Lewis Evans (c. 1700 – 12 June 1756) was a Welsh surveyor and geographer. He had a brother John. In the mid-1730s he emigrated to British America, where he was based in Philadelphia. He was well known for his 1755 map of the Middle British Colonies.

Biography
Lewis Evans was born in Caernarfonshire, Wales. He travelled to the British colonies in North America, where he settled in Philadelphia by the mid-1730s. In 1736 he bought a book from Benjamin Franklin, a printer, which was the start of their friendship. Franklin encouraged his geographic and scientific research. In 1743 Evans married Martha Hoskins, a friend of Franklin's wife Deborah Read Franklin. They had a daughter Amelia before Martha died in 1754, when the girl was ten.

As a surveyor, Evans traveled in the Onondaga country of the Iroquois in western New York province with Conrad Weiser, an important interpreter who had lived as a youth with the Mohawk, and botanist John Bartram. From this trip, he published a map of New York, New Jersey and Delaware. It was modified to include Pennsylvania and published as A Map of Pensilvania, New-Jersey, New-York, and the Three Delaware Counties (1749, revised 1752).

In 1751 Evans taught a class in geography and natural philosophy, as it was known, in Philadelphia, Newark, and New York.

In his A General Map of the Middle British Colonies in America (1755), Evans expanded his reach to include Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, and part of New England. He published this map in his book Geographical Essays (formally, Geographical, Historical, Philosophical and Mechanical Essays Containing an Analysis of a General Map of the Middle British Colonies in America, and the Country of the Confederate Indians, with a General Map of the Middle British Colonies in America), also published in 1755 by Franklin and David Hall, as the first part of an unfinished work. Still cited, this work was recently noted by Marco Platania in an article in the electronic review Cromohs. The work was heavily criticised by the New York Mercury.

British colonial observer Thomas Pownall, secretary to Governor Danvers Osborne of New York, stayed in the colonies after Osborne's death in 1753 to study conditions, hoping to gain another position. He had met Benjamin Franklin and helped finance publication of the map by Evans, as both men considered it critical during the French and Indian War. The British were having to confront French forces in the interior of the colonies. Evans's map was highly regarded and used by General Edward Braddock during the war; Pownall received most of the public acclaim for it at the time.

Evans died in New York in June 1756. His body was returned to Philadelphia, where he was buried in the noted Christ Church Burial Ground, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Family
Evans's wife had died in 1754. He entrusted care of their daughter Amelia (Philadelphia, 1744 – Hythe, Southampton, 1835) to his brother John, who had followed him to the colony. John Evans died in 1759, and Amelia was brought up by Deborah and Benjamin Franklin. At eighteen she traveled to London for a period. Later she lived in Tunis, where she worked as a tutor to the three daughters of the British consul, James Traill and his wife.

There Amelia Evans met and married in 1770 a captain of the Irish Merchant marine, David Barry. He was particularly experienced in the areas of Bordeaux and the Médoc, from where he shipped wines to Ireland. They had five children together, among them their daughter Anna Africana Barry, who married a Swiss merchant in Livorno named Rodolfo Schintz. After Evans died in Pisa, he was buried in the Old English Cemetery, Livorno in 1781.

The widow Amelia Evans Barry anonymously published a novel, Memoirs of Maria, a Persian Slave (1790), financed by subscription. She was known to have had some earlier works, also anonymous, but most have not been found. The painter and engraver Alfredo Müller (1869–1939), and his brother Rodolfo (1876–1947), a cycling champion, are among her descendants. They were Swiss, born in Herisau, canton de l'Appenzell des Rhodes Extérieures. Afredo later acquired French citizenship.

Talk:Proof by assertion

I nearly NPOV tagged my own article; I am a little concerned that the example I give is perhaps inappropriate, since there are those who genuinely believe in a Jewish world conspiracy. --Just zis Guy, you know? 10:46, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

"A lie told often enough becomes the truth"
There is no source to back up that this quotation was said by Lenin. It is also atributed to Goebbels, so I'll change it to sound as "as the saying goes"--Theocide 02:08, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

 * He could say it, but it doesn't give reason for citation. It is probably translation of proverb known and used in many, if not all slavic languages. (Czech: "Stokrát opakovaná lež se stává pravdou")88.101.76.122 01:58, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Now there is a source, but it is a remarkably poor source. In what book, chapter, page, did Lenin write such sentence? The source gives absolutely no reference, and absolutely no context. A cursory search in marxists.org produces produced no similar quote of Lenin.

 * Or perhaps the point is to prove the sentence is factually correct? If we repeat enough times that Lenin said it, then somehow he will come to have said it? Ninguém (talk) 20:11, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I removed the bare assertion (how fitting!) "No, it was not incorrectly attributed to Lenin. He was the one who said it." from the article. Please discuss this here, on the discussion page and not in the article; anyways it certainly doesn't belong under "see also". -- 77.7.132.241 (talk) 14:31, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Minor adjustment
I redid the end of the article as it seemed (to me anyways) to imply that user of this fallacy intentionally promotes a lie, this is not always true. Let me give an example: Logically a religious person may continually state that Lazzarus rose from the dead after 6 days because the Bible states it even though a logical argument could be constructed against the plausability of this from a medical standpoint. This does not mean the user does not believe his/her statement to be true. Quadzilla99 04:49, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

References?
http://www.mnforsustain.org/student_logical_fallacies_with_references.htm

A long list of references on logic and argumentation located at the above link. Haven't read them, but if anyone else has, I'd suggest listing them as references so the article doesn't get tagged for deletion. I've also listed the link as an external link, as it does provide a pretty good resource for logical fallacies & such. As well as references. Mgmirkin 17:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, this page doesn't mention the fallacy described in the article. —Mrwojo (talk) 01:30, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Dubious
From my understanding, proof by assertion is the same as the bare assertion fallacy, however this article makes this unclear because it seems to be discussing the consequences of an unanswerable argument rather than the form of the argument itself. —Mrwojo (talk) 01:30, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

 * We just redirected Bare Assertion Fallacy to Ipse-dixitism, too. I question the validity of this as a fallacy in the same way we did for bare assertion fallacy. I started a new topic on it. GManNickG (talk) 19:46, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Completely agreed that it should be merged, especially since the title is obviously the same as Ipse dixit, but the content is much closer to proof by repetition aka Ad nauseum (which links to it because of this), for some reason. Foxyshadis (talk) 22:47, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Merge with ipse-dixitism
As Mrwojo points out above, this article is extremely close to the bare assertion fallacy. Moreso, bare assertion fallacy just recently was changed to redirect to ipse-dixitism, because it had no actual authoritative sources to define the fallacy.

And I find the same problem with this one. It has no sources (the external link at the bottom doesn't even have this fallacy in it, as far as I can see; I'll be deleting it.), and doesn't add (anything, really) over other existing, established fallacies. I propose it either redirect to ipse-dixitsm, or merged with it.

For now, I'm smacking an "Unreferenced" template on the page. If the discussion doesn't kick up, I'll propose a merge myself. GManNickG (talk) 19:41, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

 * I agree. Ad lapidem is also quite close.  That seems to be "refutation by assertion" but I'm not entirely convinced that the term is used widely as Wikipedia describes it; it's hard to tell because there are so few sources.  The verifiability of many of the fallacy articles is poor.  —Mrwojo (talk) 16:59, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Somewhere there was a court case where the phrase "gratuitous concurrence" was used in relation to (a style of?)questioning a defendant repeatedly until they relent. Not sure if it's used regularly in law,but, just adding that for discussion.The case, I recall ,involved an indigenous Australian maybe in the 1990's. Signed,JohnsonL623 (talk) 01:14, 5 July 2011 (UTC) Further to this case, in other words ,gratuitous repeated closed questioning to obtain concurrence ( by denial of reply, albeit partial denial i.e. not allowing them to complete sentences maybe?)exploiting the respondant's inability to fully comprehend or articulate an answer in a reasonable time. SignedJohnsonL623 (talk) 12:22, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Joseph Goebbels
I thought it was he that said a lie told often enough becomes the truth? That is what I was taught in school. Mugginsx (talk) 21:20, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

 * We need a reliable source to attribute that quote – a source that points to when or where someone said it. Without that it reads like a self-referential joke. —Mrwojo (talk) 22:40, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Songs for Swingin' Lovers!

Songs for Swingin' Lovers! is the tenth studio album by American singer Frank Sinatra, and his fourth for Capitol Records. It was arranged by Nelson Riddle and released in March 1956 on LP and January 1987 on CD. It was the first album ever to top the UK Albums Chart.

Production
This album was arranged by Nelson Riddle, and took a different tack after In the Wee Small Hours (1955), recording existing pop standards in a hipper, jazzier fashion, revealing an overall exuberance in the vein of Songs for Young Lovers and Swing Easy!.

An additional track, "Memories of You", was recorded during the sessions but ultimately left off the album. As a slow ballad, it was deemed inappropriate on an album of "swinging" uptempo numbers since the album already included the ballad "We'll Be Together Again". While Sinatra would re-record the song with Axel Stordahl in 1961 for the album Point of No Return, the 1956 recording with Riddle would remain unreleased until its inclusion on The Longines Symphonette album Sinatra Like Never Before (SYS-5637), released in September 1973 as a bonus LP in the 10-album boxed set Sinatra, The Works. The 1956 recording eventually reached a wider audience when released on The Capitol Years compilation in 1990.

The original cover had Sinatra facing away from the young couple, but in 1957 Capitol altered the cover with a new image of Sinatra facing the couple. Most CD releases have retained the new cover, though Apple Music uses the original.

Legacy
In 2000, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and ranked number 306 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time in 2003, and 308 in 2012 revised list. Sinatra aficionados often rank it his best or second best album (to In the Wee Small Hours) and many music critics consider it one of the greatest albums of its era.

In 2000 it was voted number 100 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums.

The LP was the first number one album in the UK. It was knocked off the top after two weeks by Carousel (the 1956 movie's soundtrack).

The album's title predated the term "swinging" in the sense of partner-swapping sex by 8 years, inadvertently creating a pun on top of the original pun (whereby swinging could refer to either the genre of swing as well as the original innocent meaning of swinging; i.e., to have a good time).

Releases
Songs for Swingin' Lovers! was released in March 5, 1956 on LP and January 1987 on CD. In February 2014, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab released a hybrid disc (SACD + CD) of the album. The original 1956 front cover art was re-used for this issue.

St Peters, South Australia

St Peters is an inner-eastern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia in the City of Norwood Payneham St Peters.

The area was first settled in 1838, with allotments sold to investors in the South Australia Company. It was originally a separate town and was named after the Church of England's school of St Peter. The nearby school, now commonly known as St Peter's College, was relocated to its current site in 1854 on 75 acres of land in what is now known as Hackney.

St Peters Post Office opened on 1 November 1886.

It was formerly the seat of its own municipality, the Corporate Town of St Peters, but since 1997 has been part of the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters. The historic St Peters Town Hall and attached 1911 banquet hall are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.

The East Adelaide Primitive Methodist Church was established in 1883. It became East Adelaide Methodist church in 1901, and Spicer Memorial Church in 1906 following the death of its benefactor, pastoralist Sir Edward Spicer. It is now known as Spicer Uniting Church at St Peters. The cottages across the road were funded by the Spicer Cottages Trust to provide low rent accommodation for retired Methodist ministers.
