GASB VfDs
Just to let you know that I have combined all 11 into a single VfD for efficiency. People often don't bother to vote on multiple VfDs like this one. If you think the combining was inappropriate, please do split them apart again making sure to copy your nomination and Harmil's vote into each of them. Cheers! -Splash 21:18, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Re: *Delete after you take any useful info and put it in say general science category. Archeology is not that big and important field.Renata3 06:30, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * really? What is your definition of big and important?  Archaeology is to me.  Wiki really has room for us all, you know.  WBardwin 06:34, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * well, no offense. But I mean that if we keep it, then there should be similar things for astronomy, geology, biochemistry, physiology, logic, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. It it just not a sufficient field for THAT huge of a project. (and I am deeply sorry for my spelling, 'cause I am without sleep for about 24 hours...) I have nothing against any science, interest, or hobby.

Oh, I voted to delete too. But I think consolidating it into one list (for now) just for archaeology is a better alternative than into general science, particularly since topics in archaeology can also be lumped into social science. The current info would make one nice big article, particularly if internally sorted in some way. Comments welcome. WBardwin 06:47, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

VfD
Hey, I know you're still pretty new to wikipedia, so I just though I'd leave you a gentle reminder on how to VfD as you seem to have not followed through with the whole process on Faces of Korea. Instructions on how to do it can be found at How to list pages for deletion. Thanks, keep up the good work. -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 16:36, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The thing is that I tried to list them, but somehow VfD page does not want to work for me... I listed several things there today and not all of them appeared. Why? Not even a slight idea. The Wiki crashes :)

Matthew
Hi, you voted to Merge Authentic Matthew at a VFD. However, the salvagable content of the article was already merged prior to the previous VFD. Is it possible for you to reconsider your previous vote? 08:10, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Categories
Just wanted to say thanks for the categorisation award! Like you, I'm relatively new here, and like you, I see many sleepless nights of categorisation ahead. I think the category system is one of the most brilliant and yet underrated features of Wikipedia as a whole. Hopefully our paths will cross again. Agentsoo 15:18, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

consensus
The Authentic Matthew VFD has closed. The results were
 * Delete - 21 (58%)
 * Keep - 11 (31%)
 * Merge - 4 (11%)

This was declared to have been no consensus, and therefore a new VFD has been opened at Votes for deletion/Authentic Matthew (consensus).

Would you be prepared to re-add your vote there? ( ! | ? | * ) 09:44, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Renaming a page
Hello! You sent me a welcome message. Thank you! I do have a question: I came across the article Xue Shen, which (I think) should actually be titled Shen Xue because Shen is the family name. Am I reading the naming conventions right? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_%28Chinese%29#Names) How would I get the article name changed?

Hi, Renata. I noticed you had welcomed some newcomers; maybe you could look into joining the Wikipedia welcoming committee and Kindness Campaign. Small acts of kindness can do wonders. :) Regards, Sango  123  20:35, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

Thank You for Welcome
Thank you for welcoming me to the Wikipedia! I was hoping you might be able to answer a question for me. I created an article yesterday and there is a person who is trying to delete it, citing that it is non-encyclopedic or only raw data. I disagree, but don't know how to prevent her from deleting it. Would you mind taking a look? Deletion Page Thanks a lot! Americanus 02:12, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Disambiguation
Hello Renata. I have a question--I need help with disambiguation. I want to create articles for several figure skaters, but their names already have articles. For instance, Maria Petrova is a famous rhythmic gymnast, but another Maria Petrova is a figure skater. How do I make a page for the figure skater? I tried reading the wiki disamb page but couldn't make heads or tails of it. Thanks. Fang Aili 20:25, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Dėkoju
Ačiū, parašysiu, jei reiks. Šiaip manau gera idėja būtų sukurti Wikipedijoje lietuvių puslapį (ten kaip nors Wikipedia:LithuanianHome), panašų rodos turi lenkai (ir dar kelios tautos), tai jie ten jei vienas į kokią diskusiją įsivelia, parašo į tą puslapį ir sukviečia visus kitus kurie ten skaito (užsidėję jį ant watch). Anksčiau lietuvių buvo mažai, gal tik aš vienas aktyvesnis, bet pamažu mūsų daugėja (ir visi atskirai į konfliktus su lenkais įsivelia, bet lenkai vieningi, taip kad jų ir atrodo daug), taigi matyt reikės panašų dalyką ir man padaryti; jei taip padarysiu, tai tave irgi pakviesiu.Sykiu tai būtų ir vieta kur kiekvienas galėtų pasiskelbti jei parašė kokį ilgesnį su Lietuva susijusį straipsnį, kad kiti galėtų pažiūrti ir patikrinti klaidas, taip pat užsieniečiai galėtų klausti įvairių detalių, jei jie ką nors rašytų apie Lietuvą. Manau, padarysiu, kai daugiau laiko turėsiu, tada reiks visiems wikipedijos lietuviams parašyti, kad dėtų tą puslapį ant watch. Aš tai specialiai įsigijau kelias istorines knygas apie tarpukarį, taip, kad galiu pateikti šaltinius į daugelį vietų. DeirYassin 10:06, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Linkėjimai iš Vilniaus!
Sveika! Gerai, kad atsirado dar viena lietuvė čia. Pati matai, ką čia išdarinėja lenkų nacionalistai. Visa bėda, kad visi lietuviai čia ne istorikai ir naivuoliai. Vienas DeirYassin dar buvo pusė bėdos. Lithuania ir Vilnius angliški straipsniai visiškai lenkų sufalsifikuoti (nekalbant apie kitus). Jiems galime atsakyti tik vienybe. Aš esu pagal išsilavinimą istorikas, esu verslininkas (irgi visai neturiu laiko). Ar galiu tikėtis čia tavo paramos? Bf-109 10:01, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Jo
Jo, teisi tu. Kol kas aš užsiėmęs Vilniaus krašto ir tarpukario reikalais, nes ten lengviau įrodyti teisybę, kadangi lenkai visiškas nesąmones rašinėja, be to, geriau žinau tarpukario istoriją. Turėčiau turėti daugiau laiko kitą savaitę, žiūrėsim, gal pabandysiu tą portalą įsteigt, nes jau berods tu, bf-109 ir aš bus bent trys nariai, reiks dar ir kitus lietuvius pakviest.

Thanks for the welcome
Thanks plus a suggestion for your "what will kill wikipedia" dilema. Sell hardcover copies of wikipedia. Sure anyone can get it on the web, but imagine having your own hardcover copy. Because of the size, it would have to be selected articles only. Maybe a basic digest copy of the whole encyclopedia and specialized copies too. Even one containing just the year and date articles. The possibilities are limitless. the only question is whether there is a market. As I am new, I'm not sure how best to get this idea off the ground, having just thought of it now while reading ur page. Let me know what u think. Olleicua 03:00, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Vistula
Sorry, I can't help you. Read the image description at Image:Vistula.jpg and you'll know why. Halibutt 15:28, August 15, 2005 (UTC)

Fair use
Well, whoever made the images clearly wanted them to be considered copyrighted material (hence the copyright notice), so I assume the university has some policy. I would try e-mailing the university and seeing if they'd be willing to release the images under the GDFL. Otherwise, the key question for fair use here would really be whether not there were free alternatives available which would be adequate. For illustrating the basics of Lithuanian geography, I think the CIA maps would probably be considered adequate, so fair use wouldn't really work. One other plan might be to make a request at WikiProject Illustration and WikiProject Maps for somebody to draw new maps of Lithuania based on those used by the university. Hope that is helpful. --Fastfission 20:55, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Renata and Fastfission, excuse me for chiming in or for misunderstanding what you're talking about. I wanted to say, as a U.S. citizen who's followed copyright issues for several years, that the U.S. government does not hold copyright for any of its own works; they are all public domain, except when a work is produced for the government and the producer's contract specifically leave copyright with the producer.  So, for example, the maps in the CIA World Factbook, without such a notice, can be reused without any requirement for permission.
 * Tangent #1: under U.S. copyright law, "fair use" has nothing at all to do with whether there are free alternatives elsewhere. The Copyright Act mentions four factors for considering fair use, but these are not "bright line" items (meaning, they're not clear cut).  Whether the image or work from which you hope to make fair use exists in some other format is not one of the four factors.
 * Tangent #2: in the U.S., it has not been necessary to include a copyright notice on a work for more than 30 years; the "fixed original expression" enjoys copyright from the moment it's fixed (written, saved, etc.). Having the copyright notice gives additional remedies to the creator of the work, but the absence of the copyright notice does not in any way mean the work doesn't enjoy copyright.

Dėl portalo
Nelabai žinau kaip ten su visu wiki kodu tvarkytis, bet jei tu nusprendei tuo užsiimti, galėtų būti tokie skirsniai:
 * Nauji straipsniai - vieta, kur bet kas, parašęs naują straipsnį (ar iš esmės papildęs esamą, ar pamatęs naują straipsnį ar rimtą papildymą), susijusį su Lietuva, galėtų ten įdėti nuorodą į jį su trumpu paaiškinimu, kad kiti galėtų patikrinti, papildyti ir panašiai. (po savaitės ar pan. duomenys iš čia būtų keliami į archyvą)
 * Diskusijos - vieta su nuorodomis į tuo metu vykstančias diskusijas susijusias su Lietuva ir trumpais kuo neutralesniais jų paaiškinimais
 * Dalyviai - vieta, kur visi galėtų įsirašyti savo juserneimą ir dar kelis duomenis, ypač, kuo jis domisi (tad, pavyzdžiui, kas nors turintis klausimų dėl Lietuvių kalbos galėtų per tą sąrašą susirasti ir kreiptis į žmogų, ja besidomintį; panašiai su istorija, geografija ir pan.)

Talke reikėtų daryti skirsnį bendriems klausimams apie Lietuvą, kokie dabar paprastai nevisai teisingai eina į Talk:Lithuania ir kitą skirsnį prašymams patikrinti informaciją wikipedijos straipsniuose (pvz. kur koks nors užsienietis, suabejojęs kokia informacija straipsnyje, susijusiame su Lietuva, bet pats užtektinai tame nesigaudydamas, kad pataisytų, galėtų kreiptis). Gali dar pagalvoti ir pati keletą skirsnių - jei viskas bus tvarkinga, bus gerai.

Kai viskas bus sutvarkyta, reikėtų parašyti apie portalą į Talk:Lithuania su jo apibūdinimu ir prašymu ten kreiptis su bendriniais klausimais apie Lietuvą taip pat pažiūrėti dalyvių sąrašą, jei ieškomas kažkoks specifine sritimi besidomintis ar tą specialybę turintis lietuvis. Išsyk tuomet reikėtų rašyti visiems wikipedijos lietuviams į talkus ir pasiūlyti prisijungti prie portalo, t.y. jei nori, įsirašyti prie dalyvių ir, kas svarbiausia, uždėti jį ant watch, kad galėtų dalyvauti. Reikėtų visiems parašyti apie tokio portalo privalumus, pvz:
 * Užsieniečiai galės matyti vieną vietą su lietuvių sąrašu, talke klausti informacijos, kuri dabar neteisingai atsiduria Talk:Lithuania
 * Nauji straipsniai, dabar paprastai parašomi tik vieno žmogaus, lieka nepastebėti ir dėl to gali įsivelti klaidų, o čia išsyk juos galės peržvelgti keli lietuviai, taip pat jie galės ir daugiau papildyti, jei žino
 * Bus galima lengviau kalbėtis tarpusavyje tarp visų wikipedijos lietuvių rašant į portalo talką

Ir panašiai. Taupant laiką, geriausia bus padaryti iš esmės vieną portalo aprašymą, kurį ir įdėti viesiems į talkus; galėsi man jį duoti jei tokį sugalvosi dar prieš dedant, gal kuo papildysiu. Lietuvių šiaip jau nėra mažai: Dirgela, Knutux, AndriuZ, Lokyz, Gvorl, Linas, LinasLit (ar Linas Lituanus) ir pan. reikia tik pažiūrėt su Lietuva susijusių straipsnių istorijas ir talkus.

Taip pat panašų "atsišaukimą" reikia sugalvoti ir įdėti į talkus ir nelietuviams, kurie daug dalyvavo įvairių straipsnių apie Lietuvą diskusijose ar kūrime (pvz. yra Theodore Kloba rodos, kuris domisi lietuvių kalba ir ypač žemaičių tarme ir rašo straipsnius apie tai), kad jie galėtų paskelbti apie savo naujus straipsnius portale ir lietuviai galėtų patikrinti, nes paprastai jų straipsniuose ir įsivelia šiek tiek klaidų (sunkiau rašyti straipsnį nebuvus Lietuvoj ir pan.). Taip pat bus daugiau dalyvių, kas gerai.

Šitą, aišku, reikėtų daryti tik kai viskas bus sutvarkyta portale ir vaizdas bus estetiškas, aš duosiu patarimų jei ką sugalvosiu, gal ir pats prisidėsiu - iš esmės čia nėra labai skubu, nėra reikalo viską daryti skubiai ypač jei nėra laiko, bet reikia daryti gerai, kad kai visi bus painformuoti, atsirastų daug norinčių prisijungti ir portalas pradėtų iš tikrųjų veikti.

Pagarba, DeirYassin 23:25, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Kas dėl featured article ir picture, manau gali pažiūrėti, kur yra geresnių susijusių su Lietuva. Kas dėl mano straipsnių, tai neblogas yra Lithuanian 1941 independence, dar apie kelias savivaldybes (ten Vilnius city municipality, Varėna district municipality ir pan. Balticdata.info žinau, pats rėmiausi tais planais kai kuriems straipsniams. O kas dėl redagavimo, tai esmė, kad ten yra wikikodas, visokios lentelės ir pan, tai nesinori to sugadinti DeirYassin 09:17, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Dėl rajonų
District - rajonas, district municipality - rajono savivaldybė. Iki savivaldybių reformos 2000-ais (apie kurią yra mano straipsnis lietuviškoje wikipedijoje "Savivaldybių reforma") lietuva buvo padalinta į rajonus ir respublikinio pavaldumo miestus; nuo tada viskas tapo savivaldybėmis, tik arba "rajonų savivaldybėmis" (ten kur buvo rajonai), arba "miestų savivaldybėmis" (ten kur buvo respublikinio pavaldumo miestai), arba tiesiog savivaldybėmis (naujai atriektos savivaldybės, tokios kaip Elektrėnų, Pagėgių, Rietavo; taip pat tais atvejais, kai respublikinio pavaldumo miesto teritorija būdavo išplečiama, kad šis apimtų ir nemažai kaimų (Druskininkų sav., Marijampolės sav., Birštono sav.)). Taip kad teisingas pavadinimas bus arba "district municipality", arba "city municipality" arba "municipality" priklausomai nuo lietuviško pavadinimo. Iš tik "district" ir city" turėtų būt redirektai į "district municipality" ir "city municipality" atitinkamai; taip pat nuo "District", "District Municipality" ir pan (iš didžiųjų raidžių). Antra vertus, galima daryti atskirus straipsnius rajonams, kaip Sovietinio administracinio padalijimo vienetams (iki 2000) - kita vertus, kadangi rajonai daugeliu atveju beveik sutampa su dabartinėmis rajonų savivaldybėmis, galbūt geriau bus tiesiog paminėti juos prie atitinkamų savivaldybių istorijos skirsnių. O kas dėl portalo, tai, kaip jau sakiau, nėra ypatingai skubu. DeirYassin 20:10, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Iš esmės taip sakyti (kad pvz. Panevežio r. sav. sostinė yra Panevėžys) galima ir turbūt reikia; sostinė nebūtinai turi įeiti į patį administracinį vienetą - sostinė yra ten, kur bazuojasi administracinio vieneto valdžia, o tais atvejais ji bazuojasi tuose miestuose, nors šie ir neįeina į administracinio vieneto teritoriją. Panašūs atvejai yra ne tik Lietuvoje, bet ir, pavyzdžiui, Indijoje, kur Harjanos (Haryana) ir Pendžabo (Punjab, India) valstijų sostinė Čandigarhas yra abiejų šių valstijų sostinė, bet nepaisant to nėra nė vienos šių valstijų dalis, o atskira federalinė teritorija (bet, kaip matai iš nurodytų straipsnių, miestas visvien minimas kaip sostinė). Panašiai būna ir Latvijoje bei dar nemažai šalių. O tiek problemų supavadinimais yra dėl to, kad nenorėta tiesiog visų rajonų, kuriuos žmonės taip jau buvo įpratę vadinti, pervadinti tiesiog savivaldybėmis, bent jau aš taip manau. DeirYassin 21:08, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Eldership counts

Planai
Taip, jis nėra labai tikslus, daugiau skirtas bendram orientavimuisi, kitas būtų geriau. Jei naudosi kitą, reikia visas nudažyt kokia nors viena spalva, o tą, apie kurią yra straipsnis - nudažinėt kita.DeirYassin 06:18, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Taip, manau pasiūlytasis planas ir spalvos yra geri. DeirYassin 11:32, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Nelabai supratau, koks template? DeirYassin 19:46, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Ačiū, planai geri :) . Malonu, kad atsiranda žmonių, dėl informacijos apie Lietuvą internete užsiimančiu tokiais darbais kaip herbų dydžių derinimas ar planų kūrimas :). Kas dėl šablono, tai nėra jo: aš pats tą lentelę sukūriau (panaudojau ir Vilniuas miesto, Varėnos rajono savivaldybėms bei gal dar kur kitur), ir perkėlinėjau ją iš vietos į vietą paprasčiausiai kopijuodamas visą lentelės kodą ir tik pakeisdamas informaciją. Gal pati sukurti šabloną, jei taip patogiau. Dar tik planuoju, kad bus galia vieną papildomą grafą įrašyti: Savivaldybės narių skaičius. Beje, užsiimu dabar su vienu rusu, kuris periodiškai trina informaciją apie Mažąją Lietuvą iš straipsnio Kaliningrad Oblast - matai, ne vien lenkų naglų esama :P. DeirYassin 20:03, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Taipogi, galima dar būtų sukurti šabloną lietuvos savivaldybėms tokį, kuriame būtų parašytos visos savivaldybės, ir jį dėti apačioje kiekvieno savivaldybių straipsnio, panašiai, kaip yra šablonai su visomis ES šalimis ar NATO šalimis ar visais Rusijos administraciniais vienetais.DeirYassin 21:28, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Kas dėl angliško pavadinimo viršuje, aš dariau tą lentelę pagrinde pagal valstybių lenteles, o jose toje vietoje būna pavadinimai originalo kalba. Iš esmės, taip gal ir geriau, nes nėra gerai, kai lentelėje per daug panašios informacijos. Dėl šitos priežasties manyčiau, kad ir "Šalis" nėra reikalinga: tokios lentelės bus tik Lietuvos savivaldybėms, taigi šalis ir taip aišku. Neaišku ir dėl etnografinio regiono, nes šie nėra politiškai apibrėžti, o pagal dabartinį variantą gali pasirodyti, kad tai - irgi tam tikras administracinis vienetas. Šiaip jau jų ribos nėra visiškai aiškios; tačiau jei naudosimės oficialiai nustatytomis, nors ir galbūt ne visai tiksliomis, etnoregionų ribomis, galima juos dėti. Gal kažką, apskritį ar etnoregioną, galima ir perkelti į skliaustelius po savivaldybės pavadinimu, kad pati lentelė neatrodytų prigrūsta. Duomenys kas dėl miestų dydžių yra iš 2001 surašymo, taip, kad ne 2005, kaip parašyta skliausteliuose. Kadangi visi duomenys pagal tą surašymą (t.p. bendras žmonių skaičius, tankumas ir pan.) galima gal kažkur vienoj vietoj paminėti (kaip išnašą ar pan.) iš kur duomenys, jei išvis reikia. Telefono kodas, mano nuomone, galėtų būti; galima jį paversti nuoroda į straipsnį su paaiškinimais ir visu sąrašu, jei toks būtų; kol nėra, irgi galima palikti, iki kas parašys, be to, gal kam reiks informacijos kaip prisiskambinti ton savivaldybėn ir jis jau žinos bendrą kodų naudojimą Lietuvoje (be to, kaip suprantu, jis panašus visam pasauly: šalies kodas, tada miesto/regiono kodas, tada numeris). Kas dėl sąrašų pagal tam tikrus rodiklius, gal galima bus tokius padaryti tame pačiame straipsnyje (List of Municipalities). Tikėtis straipsnių apie kiekvieną herbą artimiausiu metu negalima, bet apie kai kuriuos (pvz. Vilniaus) jau yra; o wikipedija su laiku augs, pritrauks daugiau lietuvių: lenkai apie savo įvairius giminių, miestų ir miestelių herbus jau dabar sukūrę straipsnių, nes atsirado ten keli heraldikos fanai. Jei padarai nuorodą wikipedijoje, nebūtina pagal tą nuorodą ir straipsnį sukurti, bet jei yra raudona nuoroda, didesnė tikimybė, kad kas nors jį sukurs, nei kai nėr nuorodos. Turbūt apie visus merus greitu laiku straipsnių irgi nebus. Po merų, tiesa, dar kai kada (visur kol kas neįrašiau) yra įrašyta jų partija, tad galima rašyti "Mayor (Party)" ar "Mayor (Faction)". Dar, kaip sakiau, galima skiltis apie savivaldybės tarybos narių skaičių (tokią informaciją turbūt galima rasti kiekvienos savivaldybės oficialiuose tinklapiuose). Dar nežinau, ar kontūrams gražiau šviesi spalva, ar pilka. Na, čia tik mano pastebėjimai, aišku, gali kai kurių jų ir nepriimti, jei su jais nesutinki. Dar, beje, jei kursi straipsnius apie daugiau savivaldybių, turbūt geriausia bus naudoti ir vienodą skirstymą į paragrafus: stengiausi padaryti optimalų Vilnius city municipality ir kai kur kitur (Istorija, geografija, demografija (su statistika apie urbanizaciją, lytinę, tautinę ir religinę sudėtį), politika (su galimais skyriais: susigiminiavę miestai, tarybos sudėtis, politiniai tikslai), ekonomika, transportas, seniūnijos, kultūra, nuorodos). Jei turi pasiūlymų čia, irgi gali sakyti - gal būtų gerai apkeisti vietomi "geografija" ir "istorija", "transportas" pavadinimą pakeisti į "infrastruktūra" (nors čia ir nežinau). Dar gal galima skirsnių apie turistinius objektus, paminėjimus kūriniuose ir pan. bet čia jau iš esmės ne tokie svarbūs dalykai, svarbiausi jau ir taip yra. DeirYassin 23:05, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Kas dėl ne tokių svarbių duomenų ir lentelės perpildymo, gal būtų įmanoma daryti kažką panašuas į vaivadijų lentelę, pvz. Podlasie Voivodship, t.y. suskirstytą į skyrius. Aišku, skyriai nebūtų tokie patys, nematau prasmės informacinėj dėžutėj dėti informaciją apie produkciją ar panašiai; šitą, jei reiks, bus galima dėti prie paragrafo "Ekonomika". Bet galėtų lentelėje būti skirsniai "Vieta" (apskritis, etnografinis regionas), "Politika" (meras, savivaldybės narių skaičius, valdančioji partija/jų koalicija (jei verta), gal seniūnijų skaičius), "Bendroji informacija" (sostinė, plotas, gyventojų skaičius, tankumas, gal dar prie šito ir gal seniūnijų skaičius bei telefonų kodas). Jei prireiks, gali būti dar ir skirsnis "Indentifikacija", su ISO bei telefonų kodais, nors gal kaip atskiras skirsnis jis nelabai reikalingas. Tokiu atveju lentelė būtų mažiau prigrųsta ir būtų galima dėti iš pažiūros mažiau svarbią, bet kažkam gal reikalingą informaciją apie savivaldybės narių skaičių, valdančiąją partiją ir pan.; nes pastaroji neužgožtų kitų duomenų. Apskritai manau į lentelę verta dėti bet kokią informaciją, išskiriančią tą savivaldybę iš kitų, kuri yra oficiali ir kurią galima pateikti apie visas savialdybes. Neverta dėti sąrašų (kaip pvz. etninė sudėtis, seniūnijų sąrašas ar pan.) kuriuos geriau pateikti straipsnyje (mano nuomone). Pagal tokius kriterijus telefono kodas irgi visai naudingas dalykas, ypač jei lentelė bus suskirstyta į skiltis; telefono kodai, be to, yra pvz. straipsniuose apie valstybes. Prie ko žemaitiškas pavadinimas buvo aišku kiek paskaičius straipsnį: kai originalo kalba rašomi paadinimai virš valstybių straipsnių, tose, kur yra kelios oficialios kalbos yra rašomi keli pavadinimai vienas po kitu. Aišku, žemaičių tarmė neoficiali ir iš esmės gal galima palikti ir tavo variantą, vis dėl to angliškas pavadinimas jau ir taip daug kur kartojasi (straipsnio pavadinimas, pirmieji žodžiai straipsnyje), bet galima ir taip palikti (gal galima liet. pavadinimą skliausteliuose po anglišku nurodyti, tokio pat dydžio šriftu, tiesa). Jei std.lt turi duomenis apie miestus ir pan, galima dėti: vis dėl to nemanau, kad jie tikslūs, nors ir naujesni: dėl emigracijos po įstojimo į ES ir panašiai gali būti sunku spręsti apie tam tikrų regionų populiaciją, 2005 duomenys vistiek išgaunami iš 2001 surašymo pritaikant įvairias formules, kas gali būti ir netaip tikslu. Tarmiškų pavadinimų galėsiu įdėt kiek žinosiu (mano žinios ten irgi nelabai didelės) ir jei reikia; gal juos paliksim tik pačiame straipsnyje, nes vis viena nėra oficialūs. Bet jei yra duomenis apie visus miestus ir pan. irgi (kad nereiktų naudoti skirtingų metų duomenų toje pat lentelėje), galima juos dėti; tada turbūt paaiškinimo, kelintų metų duomenys išvis nereikia, nes duomenys dabartiniai. O taip kaip įdėjai duomenų amžių, mažomis raidėmis po lentele, mano nuomone yra gerai. Kas dėl herbų aprašymų, jo, iš esmės gali būti tame pačiame straipsnyje, kokiame paragrafe "Simbolika" (kaip kad yra su kai kurių etnografinių regionų straipsniais). Atskiri straipsniai patogesni tik tuo, kad tada iš juos galima nurodyti tiek iš savivaldybės, tiek iš miesto, nes paprastai herbai sutampa. Bet galima tiesiog kurti paragrafus "Simbolika". Apie spalvą tai turėjau omeny, kad esamoje lentelėje rėmeliai tarp lentelės ląstelių buvo tamsūs, o taviškėje - šviesūs. Čia tik atkreipiau dėmesį. Savivaldybės planą (su jos miestais, miesteliais, kaimais ir seniūnijų ribomis), jei toks bus, geriausia bsu dėti po herbu ir Lietuvos planu su savivaldybe. Kas dėl šablono, nežinau, ar ten verta dėti apskritis, ypač viršuje ir didesnėmis raidėmis: gali sukelti klaidingą įspūdį, kad apskritis yra svarbesnis administracinis vienetas už savivaldybę, kas, nepaisant apskrities dydžio, nėra tiesa: savivaldybė yra savavaldus vienetas su renkama valdžia, o apskritys - tiesiog vyriausybės dariniai, kurių pagrindinė užduotis yra prižiūrėti, kad savivaldybės jų teritorijose neleistų potvarkių, prieštaraujančių įstatymams ar konstitucijai. Kas dėl etnografinių regionų, jo mačiau tą žemėlapį, turėjau omeny, kad klausimas, ar ten jiet iksliai nsutatyti, akdangi tikslus nutatymas ant regionų ribų labai sunkus ir turbūt neįmanomas, bet kadangi yra toksai oficialus nustatymas, iš esmės galima etnografinį regioną dėti. Jei lentelė bus padalina į skiltis, tuomet prie skilties "Vieta". DeirYassin 08:03, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Dėkoju už sukurtas lenteles ir planus :) . Mašinų numeriai prie apskričių gal nelabai reikalingi, nes nuo 2003 ar tai 2004 buvo panaikinti (t.y. naujai registruojamų mašinų numerių vidurinė raidė gali būti bet kokia). Apskrities vadovo pavadinimas yra "apskrities viršininkas", o ne "gubernatorius", tad gal geresnis vertimas būtų "Ruler" arba "Chairman" ("Country ruler", "county chairman")? Kaip smulkesnius vienetus tamsėjančia spalva? Turi omeny, apskritis šviesiau, savivaldybes tamsiau, o seniūnijas tamsiausiai? Galima iš esmės. Kas dėl seniūnijos lentelės, šiokia tokia, tik netobula, yra mano sukurta lietuviškoje wikipedijoje, straipsnyje "Marcinkonių seniūnija". Savivaldybių lentelė dabar jau yra gera, gal tik reikia kai ką apkeisti vietomis (pvz. number of elderates nustumti į apačią), taip pat gal "settlements" pakeisti atgal į "cities", nes iš esmės čia yra rašomos tik oficialiai miesto statusą turinčios gyvenvietės (kai kurie kaimai už jas ir didesni). Galima, aišku, šitą praktiką ir kaip nors keisti, tik nežinau iš kur įvairių kaimų populiacijas paimti. Taip pat "counsel" turbūt turėtų būti "council" (taryba)? Kas dėl miestų lentelės, čia iškyla daugiausiai neaiškumų. Primiausiai, jos politikos skiltis iš esmės yra ne apie patį miestą, o savivaldybę, kas jau būtų kitame straipsnyje (pvz. Vilniaus miesto savivaldybė be Vilniaus dar apima ir Grigiškes, oficialiai atskirą miestą, nors ir tos pačios miesto savivaldybės dalį, todėl A. Zuokas teisingai yra Vilniaus miesto savivaldybės meras, o ne tiesiog Vilniaus meras. Telefonų kodai taip pat susiję su savivaldybėmis, o ne miestais, tas pats ir apie oficialias svetaines. Etnografiniai regionai didmiesčiams - irgi gana slidus dalykas, ypač Kaunui, kurio dalis vienoje Nemuno pusėje yra oficialiai Suvalkijoje, o kita - Aukštaitijoje. Nežinau, ar verta į "capital" rašyti istorinius dalykus, kaip laikinoji sostinė. Kad yra tų vienetų sostinė, galim apaminėti skliausteliuose po tų vienetų pavadinimų "location" skiltyje; nežinau tik ką daryti tokiu atveju su rajonų savivaldybėmis, kurių sostinės daug didmiesčių irgi yra, nors ir nėra jų dalis. Nelabai supratau, ką čia reiškia "number of neighborhoods", nes šitai turbūt labai subjektyvus dalykas - gi kvartalai/mikrorajonai, išskyrus seniūnijas, nėra oficialiai apibrėžti. Nežinau, kiek objektyvūs yra miestų dydžio ir tankumo dalykai - iš esmės tai irgi daugiau yra savivaldybių dalykai, miestas, kartais net priešingai oficialiam statusui, užima mažiau nei savivaldybė (t.y. ženklas baltu fonu su miesto pavadinimu, skelbiantis apie įvažiavimą į jį, yra toliau nei ženklas mėlynu fonu skelbiantis apie atvykimą į savivaldybę; kai kuriuos "miestus", pvz. Palangos, sudaro keli miesteliai), o tankumas priklauso nuo to, kiek aplinkinių teritorijų (miškų, pievų, laukų ir pan.) oficialiai prijungta prie miesto: Visagine tokių nėra, tad jis ir atrodo tankiausias, o pvz. Vilniuje tokių daug. Kaimų dydžius ir tankumus bus dar sunkiau nustatyti. Tad gal iš esmės verta palikti tik populiaciją? Jei norisi palikti "temporary capital", galima nebent dėti atskirą skirsnį "Pravardė", ten iš serijos Sostinė, laikinoji sostinė, uostamiestis, Lietuvos Čikaga, agurkų miestas, vasaros sostinė, karališkasis kurortas, Jonų miestas, saulės miestas, energetikų miestas ir pan. Bet būtų nelabai objektyvu ir oficialu. Iš esmės kas dėl miestų siūlyčiau palikti vietą (apskritį, savivaldybę, kaimams - seniūniją), kokių darinių sostinė yra, pirmo paminėjimo, miesto teisių suteikimo datas, populiaciją, pažymėjimą ant plano, herbą, seniūnijų skaičių; dėl politinės informacijos reiktų nurodyti į atitinkamos savivaldybės (ar seniūnijos, jei tai - miestelis) straipsnį. DeirYassin 16:54, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Kas dėl spalvų, sakyčiau turėtų būti trys intensyvumo lygiai: apskritis, savivaldybė ir seniūnija; nes kaimai ir miestai kaip ir neįeina į šį skirstymą, tad gal būt juos būtų galima žymėti kažkokia kitokia spalva (jei nenorima per daug nutolti nuo žalios, pvz. tokia žaliai mėlyna ar panašiai: tuomet šviesiausia spalva būtų miestų, turinčių savo savivaldybes, antra - turinčių savo seniūnijas, trečia - tiesiog seniūnijų centrams ir paskutinė - šiaip kaimams. Kitas variantas būtų intensyvumą keisti priklausomai nuo populiacijos. Trečias ir turbūt geriausias - intensyvumo išvis nekeisti, miestams/kaimams palikti tik vieną, atskirą, spalvą, nes iš esmės gyvenvietė, kad ir kokio ji dydžio - to paties "tipo" darinys; panašiai kaip ir skirtingų dydžių savivaldybės ar seniūnijos). Savivaldybės spalva galėtų būti kiek tamsesnė, ad labiau nuo apskrities skirtųsi. Gerai, Lietuvos sostines galima palikti. Tu teisi, kaimams/miesteliams etnografinį regioną bus galima įdėti. Gerai, iš esmės nuorodas turbūt irgi galima palikti. Kaimų lentelė būtų panaši į miestų, tik vietoj "number of elderates" būtų "elderate" prie location skilties ir dar plius regionas. Kas dėl miestų/kaimų, Panemunė Pagėgių savivaldybėje pvz. turi apie 400 gyventojų ir yra oficialiai miestas, tuo tarpu nemažai kaimų turi po kelis tūkstančius gyventojų. Miestai visi surašyti prie statistikos atskirai, galima sužinoti jų populiacijos ir pan. duomenis, todėl jie ten ir išskirti; su kaimais tai sunkiau. Čia kaip ir su Magdeburgo teisėmis kadais - miestu gyvenvietė buvo laikoma tik tuomet, jei jas turėjo; būdavo ir nusigyvenusių miestų su šiom teisėmis, buvo ir jų neturinčių didelių gyvenviečių. Gal tada iš esmės reikės pakeisti tą miestų sąrašą ir vietoje vien miestų dėjimo dėti ir kaimus - pavyzdžiui, dėti visas gyvenvietes virš 1000 arba virš 2000 gyventojų (o į apskričių lenteles - virš 5000 ar 10000). Tik, aišku, kaimų duomenis bus surasti sunkiau nei miestų ir gali būti šioks toks neišbaigtumas; nes miestų nėra daug (106 iš viso, taigi kiek mažiau nei vidutiniškai 2 į kiekvieną savivaldybę). Galima lentelę būtų ir išvis naikinti, o duomenis iškelti kur kitur, bet tuomet būtų neaišku, ar sostinė įeina į savivaldybės sudėtį, ar ne, ar yra daug miestų ir kokio jie dydžio ir pan, tad siūlyčiau ją palikti DeirYassin 19:21, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Na, lentelę tą, kur miestui su savo savivaldybe, naudotume miestams kurie turi savo savivaldybę ir/arba po kelias seniūnijas (nes ten būtų seniūnijų skaičius). Čia "po kelias seniūnijas" turiu aišku omeny po kelias seniūnijas miesto viduje, kaip Vilnius ar Kaunas - kaimiškoji seniūnija tai tas pats kas rajono savivaldybė aplink didmiestį - t.y. jokia miesto dalis ten neįeina, tik kad tame mieste yra seniūnijos centras. Šią lentelę realiai būtų galima panaudoti Vilniui, Kaunui, Klaipėdai, Šiauliams, Panevėžiui, Alytui ir Visaginui (Palangai ne, nes pats Palangos miestelis yra tik Palangos miesto savivaldybės dalis; nors iš Palangos straipsnio galima daryti nuorodą, kad oficialiai "Palangos miestas" (dar žinoma kaip Didžioji Palanga) sudaro visą Palangos miesto savivaldybę iki pat Latvijos sienos). Kita lentelė būtų kitoms gyvenvietėms: nedaug skirtųsi, bet ten būtų prie "vietos" ir seniūnija bei etnografinis regionas ir nebūtų seniūnijų skaičiaus. Jei yra miesto r kaimiškoji seniūnijos, tai gyvenvietės vieta būtų toji miesto seniūnija; bet prie "sostinė" būtų įvardytos abi seniūnijos, tiek miesto, tiek kaimiškoji. Jei gyvenvietė yra kaimiškojoje seniūnijoje tai prie vietos būtų įvardyta tiesiog ta kaimiškoji seniūnija. Gal dar reiktų miesto pravadę rašyti lietuviškai, o skliausteliuose angliškai; nes čia kaip ir su himno pavadinimu ar nacionaliniu šūkiu - jos pagrinde vartojamos lietuviškai, lietuviškuose šaltiniuose DeirYassin 09:54, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Gerai. Beje, manęs nebus kurį laiką. Sėkmės kuriant lenteles :) . DeirYassin 22:53, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Grįžau jau. Manau, kad viską padarei puikiai ir galima dėti lenteles į straipsnius :) . Gal tik kas konkrečiai dėl Kauno bus galima parašyti, kad tai buvo laikinoji Lietuvos sostinė, o ne tiesiog sostinė, nes oficialus statusas buvo toksai, bet šitą ir vėliau bus galima padaryti. Dar galima kas dėl miestų įrašyti ir kelinti pagal dydį jie savo apskrityje bei savo savivaldybėje, bet čia gal ir nebūtina. Kas dėl seniūnijos žemėlapio, kaip suprantu turbūt reiks parodyti jos vietą savivaldybėje o ne visoje Lietuvoje, nes pastaruoju atveju sunkiai įsižiūrėtų, nebent išdidintas (plano kampe nebent būtų galima uždėti mažą Lietuvos žemėlapį ir taškučiu pažymėti apytikslę seniūnijos vietą ant jo) - ar tavo nuomonė čia kita? Bet kokiu atveju, geriau baigsiu su savo perfekcionizmu :). Ačiū už lenteles, ir sėkmės jas dedant :) DeirYassin 23:34, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Labas!

Kiek pataisiau ir sudėjau nosines, paukščiukus, taškus ir brūkšnius (nors turbūt nėra gramatiškai tobula, nes mano paties gramatika nėra tokia gera). Taip pat pakeičiau laišką į daugiskaitą, nes sakei čia siųsi tu ir Knutux, dar gali pridėti mano vardą ir pavardę.

Čia laiškas:

Gerbiamas Dr. Pilipaiti,

Pirmiausia, norėtume Jums ir Vilniaus Universiteto Kartografijos Centrui padėkoti už labai vertingą ir reikalingą darbą kuriant nepaprastai tikslius ir aktualius Lietuvos ir pasaulio žemėlapius: tokius kaip, pavyzdžiui, žemėlapiai saugomi tinklapyje http://www.balticdata.info.

Šie žemėlapiai būtų tiesiog neįkainojami Vikipedijai, laisvajai enciklopedijai (angliška Vikipedija: http://en.wikipedia.org, lietuviška Vikipedija: http://lt.wikipedia.org ). Šis nekomercinis ir pelno nesiekiantis internetinis projektas siekia sukurti laisvą ir nemokamą enciklopediją visomis kalbomis. Šiuo metu projektas yra aktyviai plėtojamas apie 100 skirtingų kalbų ir turi apie 1,5 milijono straipsnių (iš jų apie 700000 yra anglų ir apie 6000 - lietuvių kalba). Visi straipsniai yra kuriami savanorių, kurie negauna jokio atlygio. Deja, informacija apie Lietuvą yra fragmentiška ir nedetali. Tačiau Jūsų centro žemėlapiai tikrai pagelbėtų pildant spragas straipsniuose, šviečiant pasaulį ir skleidžiant informaciją apie Lietuvą įvairiomis pasaulio kalbomis. Tad, gerbdami Jūsų centro sunkų darbą ir autorines teises, Vikipedijos bendruomenės vardu maloniai prašome leidimo naudoti žemėlapius, esančius http://www.balticdata.info, įvairiems Vikipedijos projektams.

Žemėlapiai būtų naudojami pagal GNU Free Documentation License (arba tiesiog GDFL). Šios licencijos pagrindiniai bruožai:

1.Vilniaus Universiteto Kartografijos Centras leidžia visiems asmenims (ne tik Vikipedijos redaguotojams) laisvai naudoti, platinti ir keisti šiuos žemėlapius tol, kol šie asmenys nereiškia pretenzijų į autorines teises ir leidžia kitiems laisvai naudoti šiuos žemėlapius.

2.Vilniaus Universiteto Kartografijos Centras išsaugo žemėlapių autorines teises net jeigu žemėlapiai yra pakeisti neatpažįstamai. Tačiau centras nėra atsakingas už jokius pakeitimus.

Pilną oficialų GDFL tekstą anglų kalba galima rasti internete, adresu http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html. Vikipedija naudoja šią licenciją, nes ji leidžia sukurti laisvą ir nemokamą enciklopediją tuo pačiu įvardijant ir atsidėkojant straipsnių bei iliustracijų autoriams.

Jei jūs manote, kad ši licencija Jums yra nepriimtina, mes visada atviri pasiūlymams ir kompromisams.

Ačiū už jūsų laiką ir dėmesį ir nekantraudami lauksime Jūsų atsakymo.

Nuoširdžiai,

Vardai ir pavardės

Wikipedia won't collapse
You should have come to Wikimania, then you wouldn't think that Wikipedia is going to collapse soon of it's own weight. We have always more and more of dedicated contributors, and that will help a lot. Anyway, calm down your wikistress and... live! Domas Mituzas 22:36, 2005 September 1 (UTC)

Commons
Hi Renata. You might be interested in the Wikimedia Commons, a repository of free pictures. If you put your maps there, they can be used here in the normal way, and they can also be used on Wikipedias in other languages (for example, lt:Varėnos rajonas could then use Image:Varena district location.png). If you have any questions, please drop a note at my talk page. dbenbenn | talk 18:01, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Dėl tarmių ir kt.
Gerai. Labai gražios lentelės beje :) . Kas dėl savivaldybių planų (tokių kaip prie Mažeikių rajono savivaldybės), galima juose iš esmės surašyti seniūnijų pavadinimus, kad visiems būtų aišku, kur tiksliai - kuri. Gal ir seniūnijų sostines pažymėti. Na, bet čia neskubu aišku, nes tie vidaus planai dar retai kur ir yra. O šiaip, dėkoju už padarytą darbą :). Dar, beje, prižiūrėk Kaliningrad Oblast, gali ant watch'o uždėt, nes ten yra vienas rusų nacionalistas, Ghirlandajo, kuris atmetinėja visus iš eilės teisingus ir pagrįstus pakeitimus (mano, Lokyz, Matsuhito, Lysy ir t.t.), siekia išvis panaikinti informaciją apie mažąją Lietuvą, deda gryną rusų POV ir panašiai. Jei taip tęsis ir toliau, gali tekti kažką daryti per administratorius, nes tai yra nesąmonė, kad jis vienas viską reguliuoja ir kitų redagavimus atmetinėja, į užklausimus straipsnio talk page jis dažniausiai neatsako, o jei rašai tiesiai jam į talką tai ištrina iš ten.DeirYassin 08:55, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Maps Petition
Hi Renata, Yes, I will sign. For what it is worth, my father, Vytautas Vepstas, is an avid collector of Lithuanian/Baltic maps, and has donated several old maps to the (I believe the very same, but I may be mistaken) archive. I have tried explaining to him several times, without success, what a wiki is, and what the gfdl is. Anyway, add my name, Linas Vepstas to the list. If it helps, make mention of such a connection. linas 22:52, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Dėl savivaldybių žemėlapio
Labas, norėjau pasiklausti ar neturėtumei ir negalėtumei duoti Image:Municipalities in Lithuania.png žemėlapio be pavadinimų. Nes labai jau gražus, bet "m." nelabai tinka lietuviškai Vikipedijai :). Dėkui iš anksto. Knutux 12:25, 2005 September 8 (UTC)

Gribenes

Gribenes or grieven (גריבענעס,, "cracklings"; גלדי שומן) is a dish consisting of crisp chicken or goose skin cracklings with fried onions.

Etymology
The word gribenes is related to the German Griebe (plural Grieben) meaning "piece of fat, crackling" (from the Old High German griobo via the Middle High German griebe), where Griebenschmalz is schmaltz from which the cracklings have not been removed.

History
A favored food in the past among Ashkenazi Jews, gribenes appears in Jewish stories and parables, for example in the work of the Hebrew poet Chaim Nachman Bialik. As with other cracklings, gribenes are a byproduct of rendering animal fat to produce cooking fat, in this case kosher schmaltz.

Gribenes can be used as an ingredient in dishes like kasha varnishkes, fleishig kugel, and gehakte leber.

Gribenes is often associated with the Jewish holidays Hanukkah and Rosh Hashanah. Traditionally, gribenes were served with potato kugel or latkes during Hanukkah. It is also associated with Passover, because large amounts of schmaltz, with its resulting byproduct gribenes, were traditionally used in Passover recipes.

Uses
Gribenes can be eaten as a snack on rye or pumpernickel bread with salt, or used in recipes such as chopped liver, or all of the above. It is often served as a side dish with pastrami on rye or hot dogs.

The dish is eaten as a midnight snack, or appetizer. In Louisiana, Jews add gribenes to jambalaya in place of (treyf) shrimp. It was served to children on challah bread as a treat. It can also be served in a GLT, a modified version of a BLT sandwich that replaces bacon with gribenes.

2006 United States Senate election in Maryland

The 2006 United States Senate election in Maryland was held Tuesday, November 7, 2006. Incumbent Democrat Paul Sarbanes, Maryland's longest serving United States Senator, decided to retire instead of seeking a sixth term. Democratic nominee Ben Cardin, a U.S. Representative, won the open seat, defeating Republican Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele.

Declared

 * Benjamin L. Cardin, U.S. Representative
 * David Dickerson, engineer
 * George T. English, economist
 * James H. Hutchison, psychiatrist
 * Anthony Jaworski
 * A. Robert Kaufman, social activist and perennial candidate
 * Allan Lichtman, professor at American University
 * Thomas McCaskill, physicist
 * Kweisi Mfume, former U.S. Representative and former president of the NAACP
 * Josh Rales, entrepreneur
 * Dennis F. Rasmussen, former Baltimore County Executive
 * Bob Robinson
 * Theresa C. Scaldaferri
 * Mike Schaefer, attorney
 * Charles Ulysses Smith, activist
 * Blaine Taylor, writer
 * Joseph Werner, attorney
 * Lih Young, perennial candidate

Withdrew

 * Lise Van Susteren, psychiatrist and sister of Greta Van Susteren

Declined

 * Chris Van Hollen, U.S. Representative

Campaign
Kweisi Mfume, a former congressman and NAACP President, was the first to announce for the position, in March 2005. Ben Cardin, then a congressman since 1987, was the only other major candidate until September 2005, when former Baltimore County Executive Dennis F. Rasmussen, American University professor Allan Lichtman, and wealthy Potomac businessman Josh Rales entered the contest. Thirteen other candidates subsequently also entered the primary. As of August 2006, Cardin had raised more than $4.8 million and collected endorsements from a number of Democratic politicians, the AFL–CIO, and The Washington Post; Mfume had raised over $1.2 million and collected endorsements from the Maryland State Teachers Association, Progressive Maryland, former Maryland Governor Parris Glendening, the National Organization for Women, and Maryland Congressmen Elijah Cummings and Al Wynn.

On August 31, 2006, Maryland Public Television (MPT) and the League of Women Voters (LWV) sponsored a debate between the two leading Democratic Primary Candidates. The LWV of Maryland and MPT arbitrarily excluded most of the FEC qualified candidates from the only televised debates in the primary election. There were 18 candidates in this race, only 2, Ben Cardin and Kweisi Mfume, were allowed to debate, despite the strenuous protests of the excluded candidates. Lichtman, Rales, and Rasmussen petitioned MPT and LWV for inclusion in the debate but received no response. On the day of the debate, Lichtman, his wife, and a campaign aide were arrested for trespassing while protesting during the taping of the debate. They were found not guilty on all charges. The judge in the case said it should never have been brought to court and was a gross violation of the parties' constitutional rights.

 * Daniel Muffoletto, small businessman
 * Richard Shawver, activist
 * Michael Steele, Lieutenant Governor and former Chairman of the Maryland Republican Party
 * Corrogan R. Vaughn, perennial candidate
 * Daniel "The Wig Man" Vovak, ghostwriter and owner of Greenwich Creations

Campaign
Michael S. Steele was expected to win the Republican primary, and the Baltimore Sun wrote the month before that he faced "only nominal opposition". Among a field of nine other candidates, the only Republican receiving sufficient media coverage was Daniel Vovak.

Candidates

 * Michael S. Steele (R) – lieutenant governor
 * Ben Cardin (D) – U.S. congressman
 * Kevin Zeese (G) – (Campaign website). Zeese won the nominations of the Maryland Green Party, the Libertarian Party of Maryland, and the Populist Party of Maryland, the first time all three parties had nominated the same candidate. However, a Maryland law passed in April 2006 prohibited such fusion candidacies, so Zeese, who was a registered Green Party member, was listed on the ballot as only the Green Party candidate.

Campaign
This was Maryland's first open Senate seat since 1986, when junior Senator Barbara Mikulski was first elected.

Michael Steele won the Republican nomination after facing little competition in the contest for the Republican ticket. With mostly unknown secondary candidates, Steele received 87% of the Republican Primary vote.

Third District Congressional Representative Ben Cardin won the Democratic Party nomination after facing tough competition in the contest for the Democratic ticket from former congressman and NAACP President Kweisi Mfume, businessman Josh Rales, former Baltimore County Executive Dennis F. Rasmussen, and several lesser-known candidates. Cardin received 44% of the Democratic Primary vote to 40% for Mfume, his next closest competitor. All other candidates received percentages only in the single digits.

Kevin Zeese, the nominee for the Green, Populist and Libertarian Parties, was also on the ballot.

Though Steele lost the general election by 10% of the vote, a much wider margin than predicted, his was and remains the best showing for a Republican in a Senate race in Maryland since Charles Mathias, Jr. was re-elected in 1980 with 66.17% of the vote.

Controversies
Both Steele and Cardin made controversial statements and advertising throughout the campaign.

The first debate of the race was held Tuesday, October 3, 2006. All three candidates were present and participated. The evening was hosted by the Baltimore Urban League and moderated by Charles Robinson from Maryland Public Television and Doni Glover from BMORENEWS.

The first televised debate of the campaign was broadcast on News Channel 8 on the program "News Talk". All three candidates participated in the debate, and were moderated by Bruce DePuyt, the host of the program. There was no audience. This debate was widely reported because of the constant bickering between the three candidates, who often interrupted and talked over one another.

Another debate took place between Steele and Cardin on Sunday, October 29, 2006, as a part of the Meet The Press Senatorial debate series. Moderated by Tim Russert, the debate focused primarily on the Iraq War and stem-cell research, amongst other issues.

The three candidates all participated in the final debate of the campaign on Friday, November 3, 2006. The event was sponsored by the Collective Banking Group and held at the First Baptist Church of Glenarden.

Cardin primarily attacked Steele over his close relations with President Bush, including pictures of Bush and Steele in Cardin's TV ads. Steele focused on low taxes, less government spending, free markets and national security.

Results
Despite polls days before the election showing the race at a 3% margin, Cardin won by just over 10% with a 178,295-vote margin, although, this is the closest a Republican has come to winning a U.S. Senate election in Maryland since Charles Mathias was reelected in 1980. On the same day, incumbent Republican governor Bob Ehrlich lost reelection to Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley.

Leeds Central railway station

Leeds Central railway station was a terminus railway station in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It was opened in 1854 as a joint station between the London and North Western Railway, the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, the Great Northern Railway and the North Eastern Railway. It replaced the cramped LNW terminus at Wellington Street, which had opened in 1848 with the line to Dewsbury. It closed in 1967, when its services were moved to Leeds City to consolidate all of Leeds train services in one station. The station was not architecturally distinguished and was built above street level. After closure, part of the station site became a Royal Mail sorting office, later partially redeveloped as the West Point residential development; the remaining half of the former sorting office site was to have been used for Lumiere, a 170 m high skyscraper, but eventually became the site of the Central Square office development. A goods lift and a viaduct that approached the station remain extant.

The last train left from Leeds Central on 29 April 1967. This was a Saturday and as there was no Sunday service, the station closed on 1 May 1967. The last train was an early evening service to Harrogate filled by the usual Birmingham RC&W DMU. Detonators were placed on the track by railway staff which exploded as the train rolled away from the platform and past the signal box on its final departure.

Sinalco

Sinalco is a German brand of non-alcoholic drinks first marketed in 1902, with sales in now more than 40 countries. Sinalco is the oldest soft drink brand in Europe. It is produced by Sinalco International, a company headquartered in Detmold, Germany.

In 1902, German scientist Friedrich Eduard Bilz invented "Bilz Brause", a sherbet powder, and started to sell it in partnership with industrialist Franz Hartmann. As imitations started to appear, they held a prize competition for a brand name, and chose "Sinalco" (an abbreviation of the Latin sine alcohole, "without alcohol"). As one of the first beverage brands, Sinalco came to be exported worldwide, particularly to South America and the Middle East. The red circle trademark was registered in 1937. A distinctively-shaped bottle was launched in the 1950s, and updated at the end of the century. Besides the original Sinalco Orange, today the company also bottles Sinalco Cola and a few other kinds of soft drinks. In Germany, it is the third most popular soft drink, after Fanta and Sprite.

In Slovenia Sinalco soft drinks are produced by food tech company Dana, licensed by Sinalco International GmbH & Co.

Products
Sinalco's basic line of products includes:

 * Sinalco Cola (light; without sugar; without sugar + lemon; without sugar + cherry)
 * Sinalco Cola Mix
 * Sinalco Orange (without sugar)
 * Sinalco Zitron (without sugar)
 * Sinalco Orange Passion Fruit

It Pays to Be Ignorant

It Pays to Be Ignorant is a 1942–51 radio comedy show which maintained its popularity during a nine-year run on three networks for such sponsors as Philip Morris, Chrysler, and DeSoto. The series was a spoof on the academic discourse on such authoritative panel series as Quiz Kids and Information Please. At the same time, the beginning of the program parodied the popular quiz show Doctor I.Q. The show featured announcers Ken Roberts and Dick Stark. The program was broadcast on Mutual from June 25, 1942 to February 28, 1944, on CBS from February 25, 1944 to September 27, 1950 and finally on NBC from July 4, 1951 to September 26, 1951. The series typically aired as a summer replacement.

Panelists
The satirical series featured "a board of experts who are dumber than you are and can prove it". The show's creator, Tom Howard, was also the quizmaster who asked panelists Harry McNaughton, Lulu McConnell and George Shelton questions. The Irish-born Howard (1885–1955) and Shelton (1885–1972) had previously worked together as a team in vaudeville and comedy film shorts, while McConnell (1882–1962) and British comic McNaughton (1896–1967) had both appeared in many Broadway musical comedies and revues between 1920 and the late 1930s.

Q&A
Each episode would start with some jokes ("Do married men live longer than single men?"... "No, it only seems longer.") and an introduction of the experts. After this, three or four questions would be discussed in detail: some posed by Howard, some picked at random by a guest from the audience. These questions often had the answer obvious in the query ("What town in Massachusetts had the Boston Tea Party?") or were common knowledge: Even so, the panelists would inevitably get the answer wrong, providing outrageously funny answers instead, followed by an even more uproarious rationale for their answer, a conversation that goes off on a tangent, and/or insults at each other. The show had a number of running gags which became catchphrases with listeners such as McNaughton's "Now we're back to Miss McConnell again" and Shelton's "I used to woik in that town."
 * "Can you tell me the man's name children look for on Christmas Eve?"
 * "How long does it take a ship to make a five-day journey?"
 * "What animal does a blacksmith make horse shoes for?"
 * "For what meal do we wear a dinner jacket?"
 * "What is the habitat of the Bengal tiger?"

Television
The original radio cast brought the show to television. It was first seen on CBS from June 6 to September 19, 1949. After two years, the series returned on NBC from July 5 to September 27, 1951; by this point, Howard (who appeared in this version in an elaborate cap and gown outfit) did not acknowledge that the 1949 episodes ever happened (a surviving episode from the 1951 run implied that the show had never appeared on television before). A spoof of this version was done in the mid-1950s by Jackie Gleason.

The series was revived by Stefan Hatos-Monty Hall Productions as a weekly syndicated series from September 10, 1973 to September 1974. In this version, host Joe Flynn queried panelists Jo Anne Worley, Billy Baxter and Charles Nelson Reilly (Worley and Reilly appeared concurrently as semi-regulars on the TV show Match Game; Reilly became a regular panelist on that show by the time It Pays to Be Ignorant ended this run). Not long after this version discontinued production, Flynn died from drowning in his swimming pool.

Episode status
At least 69 radio episodes are known to exist. These include those listed below and three held by the UCLA Film and Television Archive.

One 1951 television episode and two syndicated TV episodes are known to exist; the latter two are held by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. Further, two films also exist at the Library of Congress in the J. Fred and Leslie W. MacDonald Collection: a CBS kinescope from 1949, and an NBC installment from June 14, 1951 with all the DeSoto automobile commercials

User:Interiot/Sandbox/Mississippi River Delta

 * For other uses, see Mississippi Delta (disambiguation).

The Mississippi River Delta is the modern area of land (the river delta) built up by alluvium deposited by the Mississippi River as it slows down and enters the Gulf of Mexico. The deltaic process has, over the past 5,000 years, caused the coastline of south Louisiana to advance gulfward from 15 to 50 miles (24 to 80 km).

It is a biologically significant region, comprising 3 million acres (12,000 km²) of coastal wetlands and 40% of the salt marsh in the contiguous United States. It is also a commercially significant region, supporting the economy of New Orleans with significant shipping traffic, providing 16 to 18% of the US oil supply, and providing 16% of the US's fisheries harvest, including shrimp, crabs, and crayfish.

Recent influences
Every thousand years or so, the Mississippi river has changed course. Each Mississippi River deltaic cycle was initiated by a gradual capture of the Mississippi River by a distributary which offered a shorter and steeper route to the Gulf of Mexico. After abandonment of an older delta lobe, which would cut off the primary supply of fresh water and sediment, an area would undergo compaction, subsidence, and erosion. The old delta lobe would begin to retreat as the gulf advanced, forming bayous, lakes, bays, and sounds.

750 years ago, the Mississippi abandoned its main course through the Lafourche Bayou and began flowing in the current direction to the area where New Orleans is located. 550 years ago, it began extending further out into the Gulf of Mexico.

In the last 100 years or so, the river has been diverting more of its flow to the Atchafalaya River, which branches off some 60 miles (95 km) northwest of New Orleans. In the 1950’s, engineers observed that the Mississippi would soon abandon its current channel as the mainstream, and instead migrate to the Atchafalaya. Because there is a considerable amount of economic development along the current path of the Mississippi, and because extensive flooding and evacuation would occur in the new area, Congress instructed the Army Corps of Engineers to maintain the then-present 70% / 30% distribution of water between the Lower Mississippi and the Atchafalaya River channels respectively. They did so by building the Old River Control Structure which consisted of massive floodgates that could be opened and closed as needed at the entrance to the Old River.

Man-made changes to other parts of the Mississippi River, for purposes of maintaining a navigation channel, have a pronounced effect on the Delta region. Dams, artificial channeling, and land conservation measures have caused a decrease in sediment carried into the delta region, decreasing the rate of build up of the Delta.

At the same time, the rate of loss of the Delta has recently increased past the rate of build up, causing a net loss of wetlands in the Delta area. The rise of the sea level has also caused increased erosion, as fresh water vegetation previously protecting against erosion dies due to the influx of salt water. Subsidence has increased.

History
Build-up of the Gulf of Mexico shoreline due to the outflow of the Mississippi River has been occurring in a periodic fashion since the late Jurassic period. This same process is responsible for build up of the larger Mississippi embayment, however the delta region is the most recent, ecologically distinct, portion.

The latest cycle of delta formation can be traced to the pleistocene epoch, when a large amount of ocean water was tied up in glaciers. The sea level was 300-400 feet (~100m) below present level, and causing the mouth of the Mississippi to be located further out into the Gulf of Mexico. 10,000 years ago, the glaciers began to melt, and the sea level began to rise. 5,000 - 6,000 years ago, the sea level stabilized, and formation of recognizable modern deltas began.

Lake Pontchartrain was formed during the evolution of two separate delta lobes. 4000-3800 years ago, the Cocodrie lobe * expanded over the area where New Orleans presently resides, forming the lake's southern shore. 2800-2600 years ago, the St. Bernard lobe * pushed forward and completed the lake's eastern shoreline.

Phantom Jack

Phantom Jack is the eponymous character of a comic book series created by writer Michael San Giacomo. Its publication started in early 2004 as a monthly series at Image Comics, completing its first five-issues story-arc. After a creative team change and a creative difference with the publisher, the title moved to Speakeasy Comics where its first arc was collected in 2005 as a trade paperback.

Synopsis
Newspaper reporter Jack Baxter can turn invisible. Not exactly a hero, Baxter uses his powers to scoop other reporters. His test of fire comes when his brother is captured in Iraq. Jack rescues his brother with the aid of the beautiful Madison Blue, an invisible secret agent for the group 'Miscellaneous'. Stories lean toward realistic portrayals of characters in modern world, not typical super-hero fare. The series ran in 2005 from Image and returned in November, 2007, from Atomic Pop Art Entertainment with ABSOLUTE PHANTOM JACK, which collects all the previous Image comics and about 80 pages of new stories. The all-new, 110-page graphic novel PHANTOM JACK: THE NOWHERE MAN AGENDA, where Jack confronts his evil opposite and faces his final fate, will be published as soon as a new publisher is found.

The sequel: PHANTOM JACK: THE NOWHERE MAN AGENDA, the all-new, 110-page collection of five stories, was released Aug. 18, 2010 from IDW.

Thanks, but isn't it a little late?
Hi, Thanks for the bit you put into my user talk section, but wouldn't it have made more sense to do it when I first signed up for wikipedia, as opposed to now - almost 5 months later...? Possibly put it into the registration process to stop you having to visit everyone's page and putting the same text in again and again. Or better yet, put it in one central location, and then drop a link into everyone's talk page... just some ideas...--ric_man 02:05, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

More Thanks
Thanks for the welcoming note. Seems that you really deserve that "Kindness Barnstar" you've been awarded with. :-) Regards,

Why not a template?
You've put the whole no-multilicensing thing on your page. Why not the standard way, with ? --logixoul 13:48, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for the introduction message posted to my user talk page. Is it considered rude to delete/archive it myself? BCampbell 18:52, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Gog

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move. JPG-GR (talk) 05:42, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Gog (disambiguation) → Gog — move to appropriate name - no article at proposed destination —B.Wind (talk) 18:27, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Survey

 * Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with  or  , then sign your comment with  . Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

 * Support per WP:D. There are multiple meanings of the word, and a redirect page is insufficient at target area. In addition, it is bad form to have a redirect to a dab page of the same name. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 19:52, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Oppose. The main article is Gog and Magog, Gog should redirect there. The disambig page can be found at the main article.--Cúchullain t/ c 20:04, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That's fine but it's irrelevant the current move proposal. Your argument may have merit though so, please bring it up as a separate proposal or in the discussion section. —   AjaxSmack   03:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Support per WP:D as proposer - there are at least nine other pages with Gog as the name (or part thereof) of the article. The word has outgrown the scope of Gog and Magog. Since there is no article at Gog, the word (disambiguation) is redundant. B.Wind (talk) 00:40, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Support per WP:DAB. This isn't even controversial. —   AjaxSmack   03:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Any additional comments:

GOG and Gog should direct to the same page per WP:PRECISION ("If two or more pages differ only in small details of spelling (including use of diacritics and capitalization) it may be advisable to combine the pages or provide links between the pages to reduce confusion for readers and editors.") which I see User:B.Wind has already done. —  AjaxSmack   03:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

People??
Without providing even the pretense that he wants to provide a source, User:Til Eulenspiegel claims that Gog and Magog are actual people, while accusing me of POV-pushing.

Can someone please explain him that Wikipedia is based on WP:RELIABLE sources? Thanks. --91.10.59.75 (talk) 12:34, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

The revert is because you moved them to the fiction section, which seems to be pushing the point of view that the Bible is fiction, and appears to be tendentious editing. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 13:01, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

 * That's your excuse? You acknowledge that the section where you put the article makes no sense, but the section I picked was not to your liking? I suggest you reconsider your work on Wikipedia, your confrontational attitude will not help the project. --91.10.59.75 (talk) 13:16, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

 * I merely reverted a tendentious pov edit. So far I have had no previous involvement in this article, and take no responsibility for the content reverted to. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 13:19, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Assuming bad faith was your first mistake. After that, one cannot expect much. --91.10.59.75 (talk) 14:53, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

GOG is a polish company
My edit pointed out, that GOG is a polish company, depite it's registered in Cyprus. Horgelblob reverted my edit without any explanation. Horgerblob - please explain the reason, other people - please comment on that. 123unoduetre (talk) 10:48, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Psychologism

[Untitled]
Jules LT, YES. I understand the words I'm reading but I have absolutely no idea of the meaning. Help us, psychologistics. I used this word the other day in a conversation and Googled it on a whim to see if it was real. My meaning at that time, however, was psycho-logigical, in the psychotic-sense. Nothing to do with psychologistics, which I know absolutely nothing about, even after reading Wikipedia. -Andre
 * There seems to to be far too much technical jargon here. The article seems to assume that the reader is already familiar with the subject.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.205.34.127 (talk) 16:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

This article could really use some examples... Jules LT 19:17, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

What were the later texts in which Husserl sought to distance himself from psychologism? I thought this project was carried out mainly in the Prolegomenon to the Logical investigations, a relatively early text in Husserl's corpus.

It certainly could do with some examples. And Popper wasn't entirely opposed to psychologism (whatever it means) according to the OED: "1945 K. R. POPPER Open Society II. xiv. 87 The structure..of the social environment, as opposed to the natural environment, is man-made; and therefore it must be explicable in terms of human nature, in accordance with the doctrine of psychologism." - Pepper 150.203.227.130 06:54, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, I'm in favor of dropping that entire last paragraph. It's undocumented and it refers to a wholly different question (verificationism and empiricism) for which afaik not a single philosopher has used the term 'psychologism'. Stdbrouw 15:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

"The criticism of this [epistemological] kind of psychologism can be traced back to Kant". - This point needs elaboration, otherwise it seems debatable.Dutch schulz (talk) 14:54, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

I see that others have got here before me...yes, this article is pointless. I still have absolutely no idea what psychologism is. Definitely a clean-up required. 121.73.7.84 (talk) 13:37, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Psychologism simply means this: the way that objects are experienced as being outside of a knower’s brain depends on what is occurring inside of a knower’s brain. Such known objects include the written or spoken symbols of logic and mathematics.Lestrade (talk) 20:43, 15 December 2013 (UTC)Lestrade

This article is indeed useless. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP) article on Psychologism provides a good foundation for understanding the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.148.231.11 (talk) 20:41, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Category talk:Veterans' organizations opposed to the Iraq War

Mistitled?
If we are including individuals such as Paul Hackett then it seems the title of the category, which speaks of "organizations", is incorrect. PedanticallySpeaking 19:18, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

anyone know..
...how to change the title?

changing title
As far as I know, to change the title you have to create a new category, then go through each article in the old category and move it to the new category, then delete the old category. This category's not too large so it shouldn't be too much work, but I'm not going to start till I get some agreement.

Also, I'd suggest putting this new category - "Veterans' organizations opposed to the Iraq War" would be my proposed title - as a subcategory of "Anti-Iraq War veterans." Currently it's the other way around, but while these organizations presumably consist of individual veterans, individual veterans are not organizations and are not necessarily members of any.
