Rosengarten zu Worms

Der Rosengarten zu Worms (the rose garden at Worms), sometimes called Der große Rosengarten (the big rose garden) to differentiate it from Der kleine Rosengarten (Laurin), and often simply called the Rosengarten, is an anonymous thirteenth-century Middle High German heroic poem in the cycle of Dietrich von Bern. The Rosengarten may have been written as early as before 1250, but is securely attested by around 1300. It is unclear where it was written.

While it combines characters from the traditions of the Nibelungenlied, Walter of Aquitaine, and the Dietrich cycle, the Rosengarten is usually considered one of the so-called fantastical (aventiurehaft) poems about Dietrich: these poems more closely resemble a courtly romance than traditional heroic epic. Occasionally, because it features Dietrich fighting against human opponents rather than giants or dwarfs, it is grouped together with the similar poem Biterolf und Dietleib as a separate group of Dietrich poems.

Scholars count four or five versions of the Rosengarten. The poem talks about a fight between the heroes of the cycle around Dietrich von Bern with those from the Nibelungen saga, which takes place in a rose garden at the city of Worms. The fight is motivated by Kriemhild's desire to test the mettle of her fiancé Siegfried against Dietrich von Bern. In the end, Dietrich and his warriors defeat the Burgundians including Siegfried. The poem is conventionally seen as a condemnation of Kriemhild and by extension her role in the Nibelungenlied. It is often further understood as a metaliterary text discussing the nature of heroic poetry.

The Rosengarten was a very popular poem and was included in the printed Heldenbuch, bringing its transmission into the sixteenth century.

Summary
Version A (older vulgate version): Kriemhilt, the daughter of Gibich, King of the Burgundians, has a magnificent rose garden in Worms, which is guarded by twelve heroes, including Gibich, her brothers, and Siegfried. She wishes to have Siegfried test his mettle against Dietrich von Bern, so a messenger is sent to Bern (Verona). The messenger announces there that Dietrich and twelve of his heroes should come to the rose garden to fight against its champions. The winner will receive a wreath of roses and a kiss from Kriemhilt. Dietrich is initially enraged by the audacity of this offer and wants to kill the messengers, however, he is calmed by Hildebrand and Wolfhart. He decides to take the invitation to battle. Hildebrand chooses which warriors will come, and includes his brother Ilsan, a monk, and Dietleib, who must be fetched. The hero Sigestab is sent to fetch Dietleib in Styria—he is at first unable to find Dietleib at his father Biterolf's, nor at Rüdiger's home in Bechelaren, but finds him in Vienna. Dietleib agrees to fight and they set off for Verona, where Dietrich has assembled an army. The army first heads to Ilsan's monastery, where Ilsan mistakes Dietrich for an enemy and attacks Hildebrand, who at first fights his brother then reveals his identity. Ilsan promises to bring wreaths of roses for his fellow monks after they angrily demand them and joins the heroes.

After their arrival in Worms, Hildebrand and Gibich select which warriors will fight against which. On the side of the Burgundians are many giants. Except for the battle between Dietleib and Walter of Aquitaine, which is a draw as they refuse to fight each other out of kinship, Dietrich's heroes win each battle. Witege, however, is unwilling to fight until Dietrich promises to give him the horse Schemming, which Dietrich exchanges for Witege's horse Valke. Dietrich is initially afraid to fight against Siegfried, noting that Siegfried's skin hardened in dragon's blood makes him impervious to defeat. He must be heckled into doing it by Hildebrand and Wolfhart, with Hildebrand finally striking Dietrich. They make him so angry he breathes fire, is able to break Siegfried's impenetrable skin, and easily defeats Siegfried, who flees to Kriemhilt's lap for safety. Finally, Ilsan challenges 52 opponents, defeats them all, and receives 52 wreaths of roses and 52 kisses from Kriemhilt, whose face bleeds from touching Ilsan's rough beard so much. Gibich agrees to become Dietrich's vassal, and the heroes head back to Bern. Ilsan gives his monks their wreaths of roses, pushes them down on their heads so that they bleed.

Version DP (vulgate version D): Gibich, lord of the rose garden at Worms, announces that whoever can defeat the guardians of his rose garden will receive him as a vassal. King Etzel hears of this and heads to Bern to see Dietrich. Dietrich says he will go to fight Gibich with Etzel, and he also receives a letter of challenge from Kriemhilt. Hildebrand selects the champions, and Dietrich's brother Diether goes to fetch Dietleib and Rüdiger. Dietrich and Hildebrand fetch Ilsan, then everyone heads to Etzel's palace, where they are received by his wife Herche. The heroes then march to the Rhine, where the ferryman Norprecht demands a hand and a foot as payment to ferry them across. Ilsan defeats the ferryman and the army is ferried across the Rhine. Dietrich and Etzel's men set up a camp outside Worms. Hildebrand arranges who will fight whom; once again there are many giants on the Burgundians' side. Wolfhart fights against Hagen. Witege again refuses to fight until Dietrich gives him Schemming—this horse had been given to him by his father and he had lost it to Dietrich. Gibich's men are defeated and he becomes a vassal of Dietrich and Etzel. Every victor receives a garland and a kiss from a maiden, and Hagen and Wolfhart are reconciled. Hagen curses Kriemhild, and the heroes head home.

Transmission, versions, and composition
The Rosengarten is conventionally dated to the first half of the thirteenth century, partially due to its close relationship to the poem Biterolf und Dietleib. The first manuscript of the text only come from the beginning of the fourteenth century, however, and the earliest mention of the work is in Ottokar's aus der Gaal's Steirische Reimchronik, comparing King Ottokar II of Bohemia's prowess in battle to that shown by Dietrich fighting Siegfried in the rose garden. It is unclear where the poem may have been written. As with almost all German heroic epic, it is anonymous.

Five overarching versions of the Rosengarten are usually recognized: A, DP, F, C, and a Middle Low German version. Version F is fragmentary, while C represents a mixture of A and DP. Version A can be further subdivided into an older vulgate version, a younger vulgate version, and the Dresdner version. Version DP can be further subdivided into versions D and P, with P being a shorter version of D. Version A has around 390 stanzas, version D around 633. Given the great variability between manuscripts, each individual attested text can also be considered a version.

Interpretation
The Rosengarten has long been read as a metaliterary text about German heroic poetry, with Michael Curschmann calling it "poetry about heroic poetry" ("Dichtung über Heldendichtung"). The poem contains numerous citations and allusions to various heroic traditions via objects such as swords and horses, as well as the names of various heroes. Victor Millet takes the poem's mixing of various elements from other texts that could not occur at the same time as a sign of its citation of other heroic poems in order to comment on them. Version D, moreover, cites or reverses many motifs of the historical Dietrich epics Dietrichs Flucht and the Rabenschlacht: Etzel seeks Dietrich, a reversal of Dietrich's exile at Etzel's court, and Dietrich increases Etzel's power by forcing Gibich to become his vassal. Witege, moreover, receives his horse Schemming and also asks to leave Dietrich's service due to Wolfhart's anger over this gift, foreshadowing his treachery and escape on Schemming in the Rabenschlacht. The text also contains an explicit allusion to Witege's role in Alpharts Tod.

Especially important for understanding the text is its portrayal of Kriemhilt. She plays the role of a ruling courtly lady as found in courtly romance, and in this role she is criticized as hubristic and proud. The use of the rose garden as the place of combat, whatever its original significance, also seems a clear citation of courtly adventure. In version A, she seems justly punished by Ilsan's many rough kisses that cause her to bleed. The poem also clarifies a problem left unanswered in the Nibelungenlied: by portraying Kriemhilt and Siegfried in a negative light, the text marks Kriemhilt as a villain in the Nibelungenlied as well. Version DP, on the hand, satirizes many elements of the Nibelungenlied. In this version, Kriemhilt is most heavily criticized by the Burgundians rather than Dietrich's men.

Millet suggests that the rivalry between heroes from western part (the Burgundians) and the southeastern part (Dietrich's men) of the German-speaking area may reflect real political struggles between these two areas, as well as a cultural rivalry between Rhinelandish courtliness and a less idealistic Austrian and Bavarian ideal of heroism. The figure of Ilsan and the other monks may be intended to criticize the state of monastic life at the time of the poem's composition. All versions of the poem contain numerous comical elements.

Metrical form
The Rosengarten is composed, like most German heroic poems, in stanzas. The stanza used in the Rosengarten is the so-called "Hildebrandston", a variant of the stanza used in the Nibelungenlied in which all the lines are of the same length. Each line consists of three metrical feet, a caesura, and three additional feet. The following example from Alpharts Tod can illustrate:

 * Also der lyechte morgen || an den hymel kam,
 * da stont vff myt sorgen || der forst lobesam,
 * der degen küne, || als jne dye sorge betzwang.
 * wan jm dye helde kemen, || dye wile was jm lang.

Several versions use a variant of this stanza called the "Heunenweise" or "Hunnenweise" (the Hunnish melody), in which there are always rhymes at the mid-line caesura. This variant can also be understood to be made up of eight short verses, taking the caesuras as line endings.

Relation to the oral tradition
A connection between this poem and Dietrichs encounter with Siegfried in the Thidrekssaga is sometimes speculated upon. In the Thidrekssaga, Thidrek fights against Sigurd during his campaign in "Bertangenland", an event possibly also referenced in the Virginal. Thidrek goes to that country with twelve warriors, and is challenged by twelve native warriors in turn. Thidrek fights Sigurd, breaking his horned-skin by borrowing Wiðga (Witege)'s sword Mimming. Following the defeat, Sigurd becomes one of Thidrek's men. If any connection exists between this episode and the Rosengarten then either the author of the Thidrekssaga knew of the Rosengarten and altered it for his work (meaning that the Rosengarten existed in the early 13th century) or there was an even older tale of Dietrich's encounter with Siegfried which diverged into the story found in the Thidrekssaga and that of the Rosengarten. Another version of Siegfried's defeat by Dietrich is recounted in the Rabenschlacht—Michael Curschmann has suggested a common oral source for both. The Heldenbuch-Prosa reports that Dietrich killed Siegfried in the rose garden, suggesting that this was another variant of the story in circulation.

In turns of the oral tradition, it is notable that Kriemhilt and Gunther's father has the name Gibich, corresponding to the Norse tradition, Das Lied vom Hürnen Seyfrid, and the Waltharius, which in the Nibelungenlied has been replaced by another name. This suggests that the poet knew an oral tradition independent of the written Nibelungenlied, although the author clearly alludes to various aspects of that poem and even cites various lines.

The location of the battle in a rose garden may have been influenced by the similar use of a rose garden in Laurin. The use of the rose garden is also suggestive of courtly romance. Heinzle also notes that there are various reports of tournaments in medieval Worms taking place in rose gardens, which either inspired the location in the poem or else were imitating it. A newer suggestion is that the rose garden is a corruption of the name Rusigard, meaning "Russian City", and could be connected to the numerous allusions to Dietrich's battles against Russians or Slavs (see Dietrich und Wenezlan) found in German heroic tradition, and which are narrated in the Thidrekssaga.

Reception
The Rosengarten likely inspired the similar Biterolf und Dietleib, another heroic poem that may date from the thirteenth century. A scene in the Rabenschlacht in which Siegfried and Dietrich fight may also have been inspired by the poem. The Rosengarten was included in the popular early modern printed Heldenbuch, thereby assuring its transmission until 1600.

The Rosengarten was translated into Czech in the fourteenth century. Only fragments survive of this translation. The story was also reworked into a play in the fifteenth century, although the earliest extant copies date from the sixteenth century. The Rosengarten, likely as known from the Heldenbuch, was also reworked into an episode of Hans Sachs's tragedy about the life of Siegfried, Der hürnen Seufrid in 1557.

Ana (programming language)

In contexts of solar physics and data analysis, Ana is a computer language that is designed for array processing and image data analysis. The name is an acronym for "A Non Acronym". Ana began as a fork of an early version of IDL, but has diverged significantly since then. It is particularly notable for being the only known fork of IDL from its early days as a quasi-open-source software package.

Ana was used as early as 1989 to track solar granulation using the SOUP instrument on Spacelab, and by the late 1990s it was in common use at the Lockheed-Martin Space Applications Laboratory and at other institutions that analyzed data from the TRACE spacecraft; it was never commonly used outside the community of active solar physics researchers, but represents a significant step forward in data analysis tools in that era. Ana was ultimately used to implement several important data visualization tools that advanced the state of the art, in the late 1990s—notably a multispectral image viewer that was used for several space missions including Yohkoh, SOHO, TRACE, and Hinode. Ana appears to have been intended as free software though it is not distributed under a recognized FOSS license. It remains available as source code, primarily through the Solarsoft distribution system, but its role as an open source, reproducible data analysis language has been subsumed by more recent tools such as PDL and Numpy/Astropy.

Talk:Chris Pallis

Untitled
The person who has added the CleanUp notice didn't bother putting any reasoning onto the Discussion page. Anyway an opportunity for a question: would it not be better to have a Chris Pallis page (which can mention the names Maurice Brinton and Martin Grainger as well as provide a context for his work on Brain Death, Dutschke, etc) rather than a Maurice Brinton page?

I agree a Chris Pallis page would be better: the reason I did the basic rewrite on the Maurice Brinton stub last year was simply that it was there already and not very good. (The entry still needs quite a bit of work, but I too can't work out what needs cleaning up.) Paul Anderson

Trans (album)

Trans is the thirteenth studio album by Canadian musician and singer-songwriter Neil Young, released on January 10, 1983. Recorded and released during his Geffen era in the 1980s, its electronic sound baffled many fans upon its initial release—a Sennheiser vocoder VSM201 features prominently in six of the nine tracks.

Background
In 1982, Young left Reprise Records, his record label since his debut album in 1968, to sign with Geffen Records—the label founded and owned by David Geffen, who had worked with Young as manager of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Young's contract guaranteed him $1 million per album, as well as total creative control over his output.

From late 1980 to mid-1982, Young spent much of his waking hours carrying out a therapy program for his young son, Ben, who was born with cerebral palsy and unable to speak. Young disclosed to almost no one at the time that he was doing so, or that the repetitive nature of the songs on both the previous album, Re·ac·tor, and this one related to the exercises he was performing with Ben. Work on Trans began in late 1981 as a continuation of Re·ac·tor, with the usual Crazy Horse lineup. But then Young started playing with two new machines he had acquired, a Synclavier and a vocoder. Crazy Horse guitarist Poncho Sampedro recalled, "Next thing we knew, Neil stripped all our music off, overdubbed all this stuff, the vocoder, weird sequencing, and put the synth shit on it."

Young's direction was influenced by the electronic experiments of the German band Kraftwerk, but more importantly he felt that distorting his voice reflected his attempts to communicate with his son. "At that time he was simply trying to find a way to talk, to communicate with other people. That's what Trans is all about. And that's why, on that record, you know I'm saying something but you can't understand what it is. Well, that's exactly the same feeling I was getting from my son." Young explained further in a 1988 interview with James Henke for Rolling Stone: "'If you listen to Trans, if you listen to the words to 'Transformer Man' and 'Computer Age' and 'We R in Control,' you'll hear a lot of references to my son and to people trying to live a life by pressing buttons, trying to control the things around them and talking with people who can't talk, using computer voices and things like that. It's a subtle thing, but it's right there. But it has to do with a part of my life that practically no one can relate to. So my music, which is a reflection of my inner self, became something that nobody could relate to. And then I started hiding in styles, just putting little clues in there as to what was really on my mind. I just didn't want to openly share all this stuff in songs that said exactly what I wanted to say in a voice so loud everyone could hear it.'"

Young's first work for Geffen was a group of songs for an entirely different project, Island in the Sun, recorded in May 1982 in Hawaii. According to Young, it was "a tropical thing all about sailing, ancient civilisations, islands and water." Young recalled later, "Geffen thought it was okay, but he didn't think it was good enough."

Instead of recording more new material, Young went back to the synthesizer tracks, actually recorded in the last days of the Reprise contract, and put together an album of songs from the two very different projects, three from Island in the Sun and six of the synthesizer tracks. Young proposed making a video to go with the album that would have clarified what the album was about. "All of the electronic-voice people were working in a hospital, and the one thing they were trying to do is teach this little baby to push a button."

Writing
While written and recorded for two different projects, in a November 1982 interview with Cameron Crowe, Young links the different songs on Trans as belonging to two different visions of the future of his music: "This album has a split personality...which I think is interesting. Songs like "Like an Inca", that's the future of my music as seen 15 years ago. "Sample and Hold" is the future of my music as seen today. It's more automatic...it's trans-music. That's why I want to call the album Trans."

The album was also influenced by the idea that sometimes the emotions that are the most deeply felt are the ones that are not overtly expressed. As Young observed a world becoming more digital and synthetic, and less outwardly emotional, maybe it was holding more intense emotions inside. He explains in a 1982 French interview: "'I think human emotion, and selling a sad personal story...it's valid, but it's been done so much, who cares? It's like Perry Como, it's like Frank Sinatra, it's way back there now. Now people are living on digital time, they need to hear something perfect all the time or they don't feel reassured everything's okay. Like when you get in the elevator and go up and down and all the numbers go by, everyone knows where they're going. And the drumbeats today, the computerized drumbeats? Everyone is right on the money. Everybody feels good. It's reassuring. I like that. Electronic music is a lot like folk music to me...it's a new kind of rock and roll—it's so synthetic and anti-feeling that it has a lot of feeling... Like a person who won't cry. You know that they're crying inside and you look at them, and they have a stone face, they're looking at you, they would never cry. You feel more emotion from that person than you do from the person who is talking all the time. So I think that this new music is emotional—it's very emotional—because it's so cold...I have my synthesizers and my computers and I'm not lonely.'"

Young embraced the possibilities of the new synth instruments, and their ability to express a world of new technology and changed human interaction. He imagined a futuristic world of humanoid robots that could aid his son in communicating with the outside world: "I could feel the world changing. I knew I was into something cool when I got the two Sennheiser vocoders to the studio. They enabled me to be a robot, to sing through any thing, present my voice as an envelope to the notes I played with my Synclavier keyboard. I saw the factory, the place where replicas and robots were built to order, the rows of old telephones being operated by feminine appearing robots, beautiful, yet mechanical. I started seeing mechanical nurses in a hospital, who came to help me find a way for my child to speak. I saw Trans for the first time." "Trans was about all these robot-humanoid people working in this hospital and the one thing they were trying to do was teach this little baby to push a button. That's what the record's about. Read the lyrics, listen to all the mechanical voices, disregard everything but that computerized thing, and it's clear Trans is the beginning of my search for communication with a severely handicapped non-oral person."

"Transformer Man" was written about Young's experiences using a Lionel model train set to bond with his son Ben, "hoping that he could learn to communicate through technology". "'Ben and I made a big train layout and I developed a remote control system for Lionel that disabled people like Ben could use. The Transformer is the device that powers the tracks so the train goes. Ben had no control of his hands for fine things like grabbing and moving. He used his head to enable a switch connected by wire to the controller I designed with my friend Ron Milner. The controller wirelessly controlled the train layout. Anything I did on the controller, Ben could reproduce with his head switch until I did something else, then he could do that. It opened a door between us. We had a great time.'"

The lyrics to "Computer Cowboy (AKA Syscrusher)" tell the story of a cattle farmer who lives a double live as a computer hacker. Young explains the concept in his father Scott Young's book Neil and Me: Computer Cowboy is "a guy's alias. Computer Cowboy is just a front; he has a herd of perfect cows, floodlit fields, even coyotes, But late at night he goes into the city and robs computer data banks of memory systems and leaves his alias, Syscrusher, printed over the information he's lifted. He's a 21st-century outlaw. That's where the big crime is going to be. It's going to move out of Las Vegas and into computer perforations. That's what all the talking in the background of the song at the end is. The computers are all talking to each other, reading what's happening; perforation, protection, security, all those words."

"Mr. Soul" is a re-recording of Young's Buffalo Springfield single. He recorded the song using synthesizers at a time he was in talks with the group to reunite. He explains in a 1986 Rockline interview: "Back in about 1980 or 1981 we were thinking about getting the Springfield together, and as a joke, I made an audition tape for myself so that they'd know I was still kicking. I made "Mr. Soul", but I never did play it for them. That's what I started doing. I made that tape at home with the drum machine and all that, as a sort of joke, as an audition to get in the group. But we never did get together again. Maybe I didn't do a good enough job on that one, I don't know."

Recording
The tracks with Vocoder and Synclavier were recorded at Young's Broken Arrow Ranch in the fall of 1981. Some of the tracks feature Crazy Horse while others saw Young overdub layers of instruments on his own. Young recalls writing and recording "Transformer Man" in such a manner in a 1982 interview: "It was written to be performed totally in a synthetic sense. I programmed the drum computer myself and performed the rhythms. Programmed the actual sequence and performed all the instruments on it. And all of the voices."

For the later Hawaii tracks recorded in May 1982, Young assembled a group of musicians he had worked with during various stages of his career. He dubbed the group the "Royal Pineapples". Nils Lofgren had previously contributed to After the Gold Rush and Tonight's the Night. Pedal steel guitarist Ben Keith previously appeared on Harvest and Comes a Time. Bruce Palmer had been the bassist in Buffalo Springfield. Ralph Molina is the drummer from Crazy Horse and Joe Lala had previously toured with CSNY. In the fall of 1982, Young embarked on a tour of Europe with this group to promote the album, redubbing the group the "Trans Band".

Release
After a year of work, Trans was mixed in a hurry because Young was eager to go out on tour (documented in the home video Neil Young in Berlin), and a last-minute change in the running order is evident in the inclusion of a song called "If You Got Love" in the track listing and lyric sheet, even though it is not on the album. Young explains why the song was dropped from the album in an October 1983 Rockline interview: "It was too wimpy! Yeah, I didn't like it. One of those occasions where I changed my mind at the last minute. The record company loves me for that kind of thing." The last-minute mixing was commented on by Young in 1995: "I don't underrate Trans. I really like it, and think if anything is wrong, then it's down to the mixing. We had a lot of technical problems on that record, but the content of the record is great."

The album was slated for a December 1982 release, but Geffen pushed the release into early January, firstly to January 3 and then, according to Young, a final date of January 10. According to Jim Sullivan of The Boston Globe, the electronic rock album was considered Young's "most radical move". In an interview with Musician, Young said: "I feel electronic music has replaced the acoustic music that I used to do with my guitar. I can go a lot farther than I've gone… this is just the beginning… I love machines." Portions of several tracks appeared in Young's 1982 feature-length comedy film Human Highway. Trans, along with Young's next Geffen release Everybody's Rockin', formed the basis of a 1983 lawsuit filed against Young by Geffen on the grounds that he had produced deliberately uncommercial and unrepresentative work. Young responded with a countersuit. Both suits were dropped within a matter of months, and David Geffen wound up personally apologizing to Young.

Young had written music videos to accompany the songs on the album, but Geffen rejected the idea, and the videos were never produced. Young would later revisit the idea of producing videos for the album forty years later, with help from collaborator Micah Nelson. "I had created scripts for every song on the album that I wanted to do, especially the computerized voice songs on the album. Now I had a whole story that I wanted to tell. And I had the concepts and everything. And when I tried to sell the concept to the record company, they basically said no, you can't do that; and, that's not what we're doing for videos. And I said well, wait a minute. This is not about what you're doing for videos, it's about what I want to do with my music. And that was the beginning of the end with that record company."

Contemporary response
Trans received mixed reviews from music critics. Barney Hoskyns of NME described Trans as "Young's love song to the future" and noted the electronic style, but felt that he "isn't bothered or bitter enough for this transformation to grow into a vision, a new music". He described the album as "neither very soulful nor very mechanistic" and further panned the use of the vocoder for occasionally making the album recall "the kind of horrid electronic carols you get on your Christmas TV." He wrote: "Where Kraftwerk are concerned less with transformation than with control of information, Young's rather sudden initiation into the new technology merely makes him want to speed up time." Jon Young of Trouser Press felt that, with Trans, Young had accelerated his "Devo" angle" from the earlier album Rust Never Sleeps (1979) into "his own impression of an increasingly mechanized world". However, he felt that Young had settled on the "robotic" style of the album before settling on subject matter, resulting in a "halfbaked yet arresting" minor work. A reviewer for Record Business noted how Young had "gone electronic" with extensive vocoder usage, and added: "How much this will affect the traditional Young sales is unknown but it prompted CBS to delay its release by two months."

However, Rolling Stone reviewer Parke Puterbaugh was favourable to Trans, considering it to be "as drastic a break from career form" as David Bowie's Low (1977) and "twice as surprising, too, because Young, despite his penchant for shifting gears from record to record, has always sunk his roots deep into the good earth, the fertile loam, of the American singer songwriter tradition." He noted the influence of Kraftwerk's Computer World (1981) throughout the album as well as the inclusion of the more traditional Crazy Horse material, resulting in an "intriguing puzzle". He also noted that, as with Rust Never Sleeps, Live Rust (1979) and Re·ac·tor (1981), Trans sees Young "stumping on behalf of the musical New Wave and the technological Next Wave." Robert Christgau of The Village Voice admitted to being confused by the album's "sci-fi ditties" at first, believing them "his dumbest gaffe since Journey Through the Past", but later realised the record was charming and "as tuneful as Comes a Time".

Retrospective
Retrospectively, William Ruhlmann of AllMusic wrote that, on release, Trans was Young's "most baffling album", and remained for him "an idea that just didn't work". He noted how the vocoder erased the "dynamics and phrasing" of Young's voice, preventing the songs from "being as moving as they were intended to be", and felt that the "crisp dance beats and synthesizers" did not sound contemporary, better resembling early Devo than Kraftwerk. However, Pitchfork reviewer Sam Sodomsky praised Trans for being "an album about affection", which he said boosts its appeal beyond its "mythology" as a "puzzling-if-fascinating failure" in the manner of Bob Dylan's Self Portrait (1970) and Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music (1975). He also noted that, while considered an "aggressive and inscrutable" album, Trans is, "at its heart", a hooky synthesised pop album "informed equally by krautrock and MTV".

According to James Jackson Toth of Stereogum, writing in 2013, the reputation of Trans as a "catastrophic failed experiment" had begun being disputed by "revisionist hipsters, who cite it as a precursor to minimal wave, techno, and countless electronic music subgenres," although disagreed with this himself due to the inclusion of the more traditional rock songs. He did, however, add that much of the album is "incredibly prescient", stating: "the fantastic 'Computer Age' still has no sonic analogue anywhere in music; the proto-electro 'Sample and Hold' invents Daft Punk; a re-recording of 'Mr. Soul' sounds like Thomas Dolby off the meds; and the gorgeous 'Transformer Man' proves that Grandaddy was not the first to outfit artificial intelligence with a heart of gold."

The Secret Hide-Out

The Secret Hide-Out is a children's novel written and illustrated by children's author John Peterson, who also created The Littles. It was originally published as a hardback title by Four Winds Press in 1965, then became a long-running paperback for Scholastic Press and its book clubs, through the 1970s.

Plot
The book is an adventure story about two brothers, Matt and Sam Burns, who discover the minutes of the Viking Club, a secret society of boys from a generation or so earlier, in their grandmother's cellar.

While Sam wants to skip the log's details and go straight to look for their old meeting place (the Secret Hide-Out), Matt wants to see if they can first pass the club's membership tests, as they are explained, and be "worthy" of going as prospective members... if the Hide-Out still exists.

Another local boy called Beany joins them in their quest, after he passes the test. Following the map, they find the secret hide-out, and are greeted by the president of the 1938 Secret Viking Club – their own father, dressed as a tiger.

Appendix
While the book does not include the complete "original" Viking Club log, it does include enough details and illustrations to show how such a club would initiate new members, and a style for presentation and decorum.

A section in the back gives full instructions on making regalia for club members, including masks, shields and (dull-pointed) spears. These could be easily made by the book's target audience, with mostly household materials; a bushel-basket lid is the hardest item to obtain.

Sequel
The Viking Club was apparently based on Peterson's son Matt's own Viking Club, and the book doubtless inspired any number of "secret clubs" among its readers. A sequel to the book, Enemies of the Secret Hide-Out, appeared in 1966, and was also a longtime title for Scholastic. In this story, two boys try out for membership; when one is disqualified for cheating, he starts a rival club, and threatens to learn and expose the location of the hide-out.

President's Management Agenda

The President's Management Agenda (PMA) is an initiative, announced by U.S. President George W. Bush in 2001, to make the U.S. federal government more efficient and effective. In its drive to make government more "citizen-centered, market-based, and results-oriented," the agenda emphasizes regular performance reviews for departments, increased managerial flexibility, and greater accountability for employees, in all cases drawing on techniques and models popular in the private sector. Reviews examine five areas: human capital, financial accountability, competitive sourcing, e-government, and budget and performance integration. Agencies and Departments are scored each quarter by the Office of Management and Budget (and the Office of Personnel Management for Human Capital). As with the balanced scorecard management approach popular in the private sector, scoring is on red-yellow-green stoplight. Scores are given for "progress" and "status." Details and scores are maintained on a public website, results.gov

Buck Rogers (song)

"Buck Rogers" is a song by Welsh rock band Feeder. It was the first single to be taken from their third studio album, Echo Park (2001), and was released on The Echo Label. The track reached number five on the UK Singles Chart after its release on 8 January 2001. The group had originally not intended the track to be one of theirs, as frontman and main songwriter of the band Grant Nicholas originally wrote "Buck Rogers" for SR-71, only for producer Gil Norton and A&R staff of Echo to convince the band they could have a hit with it themselves, after hearing a demo recorded by Feeder. It continues to be played on UK alternative radio stations as a classic hit of its genre. The single has been certified platinum in the United Kingdom for sales and streaming figures exceeding 600,000 units.

The song title was inspired by the television show of the same name as Nicholas wanted to create a futuristic sound. Critical reaction was largely positive with the song being named one of Kerrang! magazine's "666 Songs You Must Own" in November 2004, and appearing on various other lists, despite NME giving a heavy negative reaction, claiming that the single would be "Lucky to reach the top 30". The music video for "Buck Rogers" was directed by Markus Walter and features footage of the group performing the song inside an elephant named "Daisy", situated in an underground car park.

Background
The song was written by frontman Grant Nicholas for their third album Echo Park. During the year the band played festivals in the UK which previewed the material they were working on at the time, and would then play a series of small venues near the end of the year. Amongst the new songs they played, was their then forthcoming new single "Buck Rogers".

The song is about a relationship ending, in which the character in the song meets a person named "Buck Rogers" who owns a "brand new car" that "looks like a Jaguar". His partner leaves him for the "Buck Rogers" character, which leads him to say "but I don't want to talk about it anymore", before looking on a positive side saying that he thinks he's going to make it through if he buys "a house in Devon", and starts "all over again" with her. The character then reunites with his friends to "drink cider from a lemon". Grant has said that the song employs an element of humour upon closer scrutiny.

The track's name came about when Grant was playing on a keyboard and invented a piece of music he said was "futuristic", and asked his engineer Matt Sime what to call the piece. They both thought "Buck Rogers" would sound appropriate for a working title which then stuck. The recorded demo was originally for SR-71, but was convinced by producer Gil Norton not to part with the song as he believed the band could have a hit with it.

The first ever live performance of "Buck Rogers" at Glastonbury in 2000 featured the lyrics "Driving wheel to stone" instead of "Looks like a Jaguar", the song has been played at every gig on tour, one-off gigs and festivals, until the May 2008 tour, which saw the song dropped from setlists (excluding TV appearances and a gig supporting Coldplay), for the first time in its history. Since then the song has made a comeback into the bands sets. It also appeared in the video game Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec, the DVD and VHS versions of the 2003 Human Bodyboarding Teahupo'o Challenge, and in the 2001 film Behind Enemy Lines.

Music video
The video starts with the band walking out from a spaceship, which is disguised as an elephant. During the first chorus after they walk out they are holding various fast food items, while looking around the velodrome looking complex, wondering where they have landed. After the chorus, shots of the band standing still in mid-air positions are shown, and then the band mostly performing the song in fast motion with occasional freeze-frame shots added in.

Before the last chorus, the band make their way back inside the elephant spaceship and look surprised as the inside is bigger than it looks on the outside. Here the band perform the last verse playing on instruments already inside the elephant, while the camera pans round the band before the screen turns black as the song ends at the same time.

The video was shot in Berlin, Germany in an underground car park and a sports complex.

Reception
In the United Kingdom the single was released on 8 January 2001 as two CD singles and a 7-inch vinyl single. The song was played on Radio 1 and appeared on their A-list, meaning the single would be in high rotation.

On the day of single release, the band performed an in-store at the now closed London branch of Tower Records. Due to the single selling strongly during the course of the week, the band were invited onto The Pepsi Chart Show on Channel 5, and BBC One's Top of the Pops. The band were forced to cancel two signings as a result of this.

Chart performance
"Buck Rogers" entered the charts at number five in the United Kingdom, it went on to spend a second week in the top 10 at number eight.

In South Africa, the track was very well received by radio DJs by reaching number one on the 5FM top 40. Later in the year the band were invited by the radio station as a headline act for their 26th birthday celebrations concert, due to the success the band had with them at the time.

After the top-five success of the single, Grant was asked in an April 2001 edition of a Feederweb fanzine if he felt under pressure to deliver another radio-friendly song, in reply he said:

""Not really, I think with the radio thing you have to be really careful; at the end of the day Feeder's not a typical daytime radio band, but what we've done is that we've proved that a guitar band – a British guitar band, and a band that doesn't have the profile of U2 or someone can still get into the top ten. It is possible!, it just seems to be that it's always the big American bands who sort of dominate the top ten; a Limp Bizkit or whatever, but saying that I think the whole Travis and Coldplay thing has been really good as sort of a stepping stone, and also I think people are getting fed up of just seeing Westlife or Steps on the TV. I think people are finding rock, and real bands again – I think that the market is currently so bombarded with pop stuff that we're just quite refreshing. Rock never went away, but it never really got the exposure. Hopefully it'll get "Seven Days in the Sun" away...""

Grant said in a 2005 Q magazine interview that he did not want to be remembered for it, as he said it is "a throwaway pop song" and he is more of a dark songwriter. However, he said if it was not for the song, Feeder would not be here today.

All-time list appearances
"Buck Rogers" has made numerous appearances in the all-time lists conducted by Kerrang! magazine, and the radio station XFM. The track charted at number 37 in a December 2002 readers poll conducted by Kerrang!. This was later followed-up by four successive appearances in the annual XFM X-List, with a number 25 peak in 2004. Kerrang!'s writers have also approved of the track as one of the 666 Songs You Must Own, when it appeared at number five in the rock songs list in November 2004. In May 2009, listeners of XFM were invited to vote for their top 10 fave British singles of all-time; their top song would get 10 points, while their 10th song would get just the one with all the points added up to compile the order. "Buck Rogers" ended up at number 86 in their all-time top 100 list with "Just a Day" at number 81. "Buck Rogers" also features in the book The Xfm Top 1000 Songs of All Time.

After "Buck Rogers"
Feeder continued to have chart success after "Buck Rogers", despite many critics labelling the band as one-hit wonders. Drummer Jon Lee however died in January 2002 after taking his own life, before the band made their return to the live stage in August later that year, with the highlight being a well-received set on the second stage of the Reading Festival. Comfort in Sound became a big success in their homeland and was recorded with Mark Richardson on drums. It propelled Feeder to a brief arena status which ended after Silent Cry fell behind sales expectations, but last played arenas in 2006, two years before the album was released.

After releasing three more top 10 albums from Comfort in Sound onwards, which included a singles album, Mark parted company to return to a reformed Skunk Anansie, before Karl Brazil joined the band as an unofficial member. He was later joined by Damon Wilson and Tim Trotter as additional session drummers. Brazil was however the only drummer in that set-up to have recorded with the band, before 2016 saw Wilson leave the music industry to raise his family, while Trotter has not been heard of Since. Today, Geoff Holroyde drums with the band live and in the studio, with Brazil occasionally in the studio.

Feeder's chart success has however not been on the same level as in the past, but have since charted from Silent Cry onwards six more top 20 albums, with the last four of these going top 10 allowing them to chart in that section of the album chart, for three consecutive decades.

The Echo Label, who released "Buck Rogers", folded as a record label in 2008, leading to Feeder to search for a new deal. There were plans to release a tour only single, but contract obligations saw the release delayed. Although there were deals on the table, Feeder decided to create their own label Big Teeth Music in 2009, releasing two albums on the label before signing with Cooking Vinyl in 2016, Believe Music in 2019 then back to Big Teeth Music. In 2011, Matt Sime briefly retired from the music business only to work with the band again soon after.

Eddie LeBaron

Edward Wayne LeBaron Jr. (January 7, 1930 – April 1, 2015) was an American Korean War veteran, United States Marine officer, and professional football player. He played as a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) and Canadian Football League (CFL).

LeBaron played college football for the Pacific Tigers and was selected by the Washington Redskins in the 10th round of the 1950 NFL draft. Following his service in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War, and subsequent honorary discharge, LeBaron started for the Redskins during the 1952 season, winning NFL Rookie of the Year. In 1960, LeBaron became the first starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, eventually splitting playing time with protégé Don Meredith from the 1960 to 1963 seasons. LeBaron was selected to four Pro Bowls during his NFL career. Following his retirement, LeBaron served as a general manager of the Atlanta Falcons from 1977 to 1981.

Early life
Born in San Rafael, California, LeBaron graduated from Oakdale High School in Oakdale, northeast of Modesto.

College career
LeBaron enrolled at the College of the Pacific in Stockton as a 16-year-old. He played college football for the Tigers under Amos Alonzo Stagg and Larry Siemering from 1946 to 1949, lettering all four years and achieving All-American honors as a senior. The Tigers registered an undefeated season (11–0) in 1949, led the nation in total offense (502.9 yards a game), and set an NCAA single-season record of 575 points. LeBaron was a two-way, 60-minute player, as a quarterback on offense, safety on defense, and punter on special teams. He also played one year of baseball for the Tigers as a catcher.

He left the school after re-writing many of the football records: career touchdowns (59), touchdowns in a season (23), longest punt (74 yards), most yardage off interception returns in a game (119), most times leading the team in total offense (3).

He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1980, into the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame in 2004 and was a charter inductee into the Sac-Joaquin Section Hall of Fame in October 2010.

LeBaron's #40 worn during his career at Pacific was retired by the University.

Military service
LeBaron at age 18, joined the Marine Corps Reserve. After the Korean War broke out in June 1950, he was called to active duty and commissioned a second lieutenant in August. After completing Marine Basic School at Quantico, Virginia in March 1951, he was sent to South Korea in April. In September, he served as a rifle company platoon commander with 2nd Platoon, B Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division during the fighting for Hill 673 in the Battle of the Punchbowl. LeBaron was wounded twice and was decorated with the Bronze Star Medal with Combat "V" for heroism. He was honorably discharged as a first lieutenant in 1952. Due to his diminutive size, 5 ft, and leadership skills from his military service, he was sometimes known as the "Littlest General".

While in the Marines, LeBaron played football for the Quantico Marines Devil Dogs, helping lead the team to a 61–21 win over the VPI Gobblers (now known as the Virginia Tech Hokies) in 1950.

In 2008, LeBaron was inducted into the U.S. Marine Corps Sports Hall of Fame.

Washington Redskins (first stint)
LeBaron was selected by the Washington Redskins in the tenth round (123rd overall) of the 1950 NFL draft, but had to leave training camp to perform military service during the Korean War. At 5ft 7in, he was one of the shortest quarterbacks in the history of the NFL.

He returned to the NFL in 1952 after a two-year commitment to the United States Marine Corps as a lieutenant, when he was discharged after being wounded in combat. He replaced future hall of famer Sammy Baugh in the starting lineup after the fourth game and received All-Rookie honors at the end of the season. The next year, he was limited with a knee injury and also shared the starting position with Jack Scarbath.

Calgary Stampeders (WIFU)
In 1954, the Western Interprovincial Football Union (a predecessor of the Canadian Football League) raided the NFL talent to improve its level of play. LeBaron signed with the Calgary Stampeders along with his Redskins teammate Gene Brito, because his college coach Larry Siemering was named the team's head coach. He registered 1,815 passing yards, 8 touchdowns and 24 interceptions during the season. He also played defensive back and punter. He decided to return to the NFL at the end of the year, after the team fired Siemering.

Washington Redskins (second stint)
On December 9, 1954, he re-signed with the Washington Redskins. In 1958, he was the league's top-rated quarterback, after completing 79 out of 149 passes for 1,365 yards and 11 touchdowns. He announced his retirement to focus on his law practice at the end of the 1959 season.

In his seven seasons with the Redskins he started 55 of a possible 72 games at quarterback (he played in 70 of those 72 games). He was also the primary punter for his first three seasons with Washington (punting 171 times for a total of 6,995 yards in five seasons).

Dallas Cowboys
After not being able to participate in the 1960 NFL draft during their inaugural year of existence, the Dallas Cowboys traded their first round (#2-Norm Snead) and sixth round (#72-Joe Krakoski) draft choices in the 1961 NFL draft to the Washington Redskins in exchange for LeBaron, convincing him to come out of retirement to become the franchise's first starting quarterback. He started 10 of 12 games in 1960, with rookie Don Meredith and Don Heinrich starting the other two. He also scored the Cowboys' first-ever touchdown in their first exhibition game against the San Francisco 49ers, on August 6 in Seattle. He set a record for the shortest touchdown pass in league history, with his throw to receiver Dick Bielski from the 2-inch line against the Redskins on October 9, 1960.

LeBaron started 10 of 14 games in 1961, with Meredith starting the other four. He only started five games in 1962, splitting time with Meredith. He started the first game of the 1963 season, but was replaced permanently by Meredith for the rest of the season.

He retired at the end of 1963, after playing 12 seasons, throwing for 13,399 yards and 104 touchdowns and being selected for the Pro Bowl four times. He is the shortest quarterback to ever be selected to the Pro Bowl. He was also known as an elusive scrambler and great ball-handler.

Personal life
LeBaron became a football announcer for CBS Sports after his NFL career, and worked as an announcer from 1966 to 1971. He had obtained an LL.B. degree from George Washington University during his off-seasons from football, and practiced law after his football career. He was also the general manager of the Atlanta Falcons from 1977 to 1982 and executive vice president from 1983 through 1985. LeBaron was an avid golfer and continued to play golf in his retirement. He died of natural causes on April 1, 2015.

 * Official policy or not, this article is not relevant to the world at large. It's an extremely specific term from a game that already has an article of its own that explains the term when describing the game mechanics. The topic doesn't require an article of its own; there's no way somebody's going to start typing "tick" rather than "Fantasy Empires" into the search box when searching for information about the game.

 * Well, if somebody uses Wikipedia as a primary source of details about a game and refuses to use the game's name as a starting point, they get what they ask for. It's true that "tick" has been used as a measurement of time in other games (it's certainly been used in various pen-and-paper roleplaying games), but this article is specifically about Fantasy Empires. Its very title makes that clear. Even if you were to take a more general view of the suject, I'm not convinced that it deserves an article of its own. -- Captain Disdain 04:21, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * You might be surprised. I've picked up alot of info about games from browsing interconnected Wikipedia pages involving the game.  Perhaps if nothing else, merge this article with the main article about FE or edit it into the main page instead of simply deleting it.  I would suggest making it a sub-page except that if I understand correctly only certain things may have sub-pages?  I'm not to clear on that.  Draggy 09:03, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * But there's nothing to merge! Like I said, the FE article already contains all relevant information about the topic. -- Captain Disdain 10:43, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Hylton Philipson

Hylton "Punch" Philipson (8 June 1866 in Tynemouth, Northumberland, England – December 4, 1935 at Hyde Park, London, England) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Oxford University between 1887 and 1889 and for Middlesex between 1895 and 1898. He played five Test matches for England between 1892 and 1895.

Cricketing career
Throughout his career, Philipson was competing for the wicket-keeper's spot in the English Test side with Gregor MacGregor, which resulted in him playing in only five Test matches for England, which he did on the 1891/92 and 1894/95 tours of Australia. He also toured India with George Vernon in 1889/90, though this tour did not include any Tests.

Philipson went to Eton and had a good record as a schoolboy cricketer before going to Oxford, where he got his blue and where he became captain in 1889. He also represented Oxford at tennis, rackets and Association football. His highest first-class innings was his 150 for the University against Middlesex in 1887, which is when he was selected to play for the Gentlemen at both Lord's and The Oval.

Family
At birth his name was registered as "Hilton Philipson". He was the uncle of multi-talented sportsman Maxwell Woosnam, an Olympic and Wimbledon champion at lawn tennis and one-time captain of the England national football team. Philipson has been described as "one of those late Victorian gentleman amateurs quite indecently blessed by fortune". He owed his own wealth to the Northumbrian coal mines.

Philipson married in 1896 the Honourable Nina Charlotte Murray (1875–1966), daughter of Montolieu Oliphant-Murray, 10th Lord Elibank (later created Viscount Elibank), by his wife Blanche Alice Scott. They had children:
 * Nina Clare Philipson (b.1899)
 * Hylton Ralph Philipson (b.1902)
 * Oliphant James Philipson (b.1905)

He lived at Middleton Hall in Northumberland, but in 1905 bought the estate of Stobo Castle, near Peebles, in the Scottish Borders. Stobo had originally been in the family of Philipson's wife, until their exile following the Jacobite rising of 1745.

Gardening
Philipson was a noted gardener. A visit to Japan on the way back from the Test series in Australia in 1895 inspired him to apply knowledge that he acquired there to the estate of Stobo Castle. The Japanese-style water garden that Philipson created at Stobo between 1909–13 has been maintained, despite a succession of owners after the estate was sold shortly after his death. The Stobo estate was acquired in 1971 by Leo Seymour, whose family still own it (but not the castle), and the Water Gardens are occasionally open to the public.

Radio Kootwijk

Radio Kootwijk is a hamlet in the Dutch municipality of Apeldoorn. It is situated in a heather and forest rich territory in the Veluwe region, east of the sandhills of the Kootwijkerzand and the town of Kootwijk. Radio Kootwijk has a combined statistical listing with Hoog Soeren, the hamlet consists of about 37 houses. The village is known for its iconic radio transmitter.

Radio transmitter
The housing accommodations of Radio Kootwijk arose as a result of the building of a shortwave radio transmitter with the same name, starting in 1918. The transmitter played an important role in the 20th century as a communication facility between the Netherlands and its then colony of Dutch East Indies. In 1923 Dutch PTT started trans-oceanic telegraphy using a longwave transmitter (a 400 kW high frequency alternator) from the German Telefunken company under the callsign PCG, on 24 kHz and 48 kHz. By 1925 the longwave transmitter was changed by a shortwave tube based, electronic transmitter which had a much better performance due to the better propagation of short waves. With this new technology, in 1928 a radio-telephonic connection was established. At the end of World War II, the German occupying forces blew up the transmitter. Afterward some of the radio towers were rebuilt.

Due to the development of new technologies like Communications satellites, Radio Kootwijk lost its position as main overseas wireless connection point of the Netherlands. In 1980, the last transmission mast was blown up. In 2004 the park lost its last transmitter functions, and was transferred from the KPN company (successor to PTT) to the State Forestry Service, which started attracting new buyers. The main building of the former transmitter park, designed by Dutch architect Julius Maria Luthmann and named 'Building A', 'The Cathedral' or sometimes 'The Sphynx', was officially appointed as a monument. It is used as venue and scenery for several cultural events and productions, including the American film Mindhunters in 2004.

Talk:Third Macedonian War

Merge suggestion: Agathagetus
It would appear that the notability of Agathagetus is directly related to this war, which is the basis for my suggesting a merger. I would not suggest that Agathagetus be deleted if not merged, because I am of the opinion (recently formed and still malleable) that persons known by name and role from ancient times are inherently notable ... though there is that problem of a New York Yellow Pages being found in the Year 3000 and all persons being added to the Wikipedia of the time based on that sentiment, hmm. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 21:39, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

An Open Letter to an Anonymous Wikepedia Editor
To Whom It May Concern; I don’t mean to hurt your feelings, but you are one truly wretched historian. I say this without any modicum of understanding or restraint, mainly from the fear that any efforts on my end to temper the vitriol of my invective might inadvertently provide you with something in the way of consolation, and my grandest nightmare is that you will continue to persevere in your efforts while under the misguided assumption that with the passage of time, your middling abilities will improve. I can readily assure you that they will not. I’ve seen all that I need to see. This rant was admittedly a long time in the making. Throughout the year 2016 A.D., I have found myself the unwilling participant of an intermittent game of cat and mouse, as my valiant attempts to supplement my limited knowledge of Hellenic Greece through Wikepedia’s terse, albeit generally informative, articles have been continually thwarted by yours truly. On multiple occasions, just as I was on the cusp of reading a passage I had only glanced at previously, I have been chagrined to find the tidy, purposeful narratives I’ve come to expect had been replaced by a barrage of dense and torturous prose, serving no apparent objective other than to flummox and bewilder. It was your incompetent attempt to explain the vagaries of the Third Macedonian War – admittedly not a popular topic of conversation these days – that finally pushed me over the edge, and became the impetus for me to get off my sorry ass, and register with Wikepedia, so that I can attempt to rectify your felonious assault on avocational scholarship. As per usual, prior to your prolific revisions, the article was brief, yet functional. It said what it needed to say. And although I had never thoroughly scrutinized the narrative in question, I had glanced at it on several occasions, and took comfort and solace in the simple fact of knowing that it was there, and that one day, it would come in handy for my studies. Alas, by the time I was ready to read it, I come to find you had already worked your perfidious magic. The entry had been ruined, replaced by a verbose and misleading tome littered with grammatical errors. Prior to writing this scathing denunciation of your respective abilities, or lack thereof, I squandered a fair amount of time repetitiously admonishing myself for my own inadvertent role in this pitiful state of affairs. For I confess that I am indeed partially to blame, and am Man Enough to own up and readily admit it. For upon finishing my thorough perusal of your article – because reading the thing verbatim would constitute some primitive form of torture, I couldn’t help but notice that it had been last edited on Sunday, August 21, at 3:45. I read the offending entry in question on the evening of Wednesday, September 7. Grasping this knowledge, I couldn’t help but became incensed, knowing that if only I had been more assiduous in pursing my hobby, you know, if I had less of a life or something, I could have read the passage before you butchered the damn thing, and might have actually learned a thing or two. Instead, all I’ve garnered for my efforts is a bad case of agita and an overwhelming desire to kick someone’s ass. Like so many others, I use Wikepedia mainly to supplement my limited knowledge of the world. In this particular instance, I was hoping to use Wikepedia to clarify some notes I took while reading Livy. Judging from your work, it appears that I did a better job comprehending the subject on my own. Which is why I find your contributions to the public domain so exasperating, as the only thing your edits have succeeded in accomplishing is the further obfuscation of an already complicated subject. I can’t think of a better way to discourage someone from seeking out additional information on an obscure topic. But if there is a better way, I’m sure you’ll find it. In closing, I’d like to suggest that this, Sir, is why legitimate scholars with doctorates go on to teach and write books, both noble endeavors and valid conduits for disseminating knowledge to others. Unfortunately for the rest of us, those like yourself who fall a bit short of the mark, end up summarizing abstruse minutiae on Wikepedia, where your misguided efforts only result in making convoluted subjects even less accessible to ordinary people of average intellect – ironically, the very constituency Wikepedia is designed to serve. So in the interests of doing the entire world a favor, for the love of a higher God, I implore you to cease dabbling with recreational scholarship, and return to spending your free time at Barnes and Noble combing through books on military history that you have no intention of buying. Whatever it is you wind up doing, I’d recommend you quit messing around with Wikepedia and leave this crap to the people who know what they’re doing. We’ll all be better off – yourself included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AntoninusPius (talk • contribs) 21:53, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Thats unfortunate. Perseus of Macedon certainly needs to be fleshed out as it is rather sparse for a figure that is quite notable historically and I was planning on using this article to help with that, but if this article is poorly written (and on closer examination I see that it is) then there no benefit I suppose.

Thanks for the help, I'll use the sources and try expand some of these articles. SamMcDermott (talk) 16:44, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Citation and Statistics
I have added a secondary source citation in the 'War in Illyria' section of this article, which is from a book written by Paul Burton on Rome and the Third Macedonian War - which was published by Cambridge University Press in 2017 to give this article a few more secondary source citations which is needed in this article. Further, I have amended the statistics on the number of calvary Genthius had, which was listed as 500 but I have found in other sources to be 50 instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Weiki9102 (talk • contribs) 00:50, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Reliability of Sources
I have added a reference to The Encyclopaedia of Ancient Battles, that in the lead section to aid the lack of citations. Chapter 37 is a reliable source on the Third Macedonian War and will also help decrease the heavy reliance on primary sources throughout the article.```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inactive Ravioli (talk • contribs) 00:58, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Another reference
I added another source in the reference page for further reading and also to further verify the information provided. MellowBelle (talk) 01:10, 23 March 2022 (UTC) MellowBelle

failed verification
A quick check on a couple of items showed that the editor who added the material either is vandalizing the article, or was extremely careless in his/her referencing. I'll continue to check the article and hopefully be able to correct some of this ... false referencing is one of the worst offenses someone can do on Wikipedia, as it undermines the project and hoodwinks our readers. 104.169.22.74 (talk) 08:27, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
