Hulk Comic

Hulk Comic (later The Incredible Hulk Weekly ) was a black-and-white Marvel UK comics anthology published under the editorship of Dez Skinn starting in 1979.

Publication history
After starring for many years in the Marvel UK flagship title, The Mighty World of Marvel, the Hulk was given his own weekly publication. Explaining the thinking behind the comic Dez Skinn said: "I was wanting an adventure anthology title more than a super-hero one. Super-heroes had never been big sellers in the UK, we had plenty of legends of the past to spin fantasies about. So I went that route, picking existing Marvel characters who weren't really cut from the super-hero cloth."

Like many titles published by the company under Dez Skinn, Hulk Comic featured new material produced by British creators such as Steve Dillon, David Lloyd and Steve Parkhouse—along with a smattering of American reprints drawn from the Lee/Kirby Marvel back-catalogue. Once Skinn was replaced by Paul Neary, however, the title's original output dwindled, being supplanted by an increasing number of reprints, in part because creative resources were being redirected towards Doctor Who Weekly.

The title included new Hulk material drawn by Dave Gibbons and Steve Dillon. This material portrayed the inarticulate, wandering Hulk of the 1970s television series. Once the title began featuring American reprints, it featured the Marvel Universe Hulk as depicted by Sal Buscema.

Other original work included Nick Fury also drawn by Steve Dillon and a new Black Knight strip which also featured Captain Britain. These original stories were mostly restricted to the first 20 issues of the title, after which they were replaced by U.S. reprints due to low sales, with only the popular Black Knight strip running through most further issues until the title's cancellation. Hulk Comic launched the character Night Raven by Steve Parkhouse and David Lloyd. Night Raven is one of several Marvel UK characters who eventually made the jump to American comics.

The title lasted 63 issues before merging with Marvel UK's Spider-Man weekly title.

The following is a list of all the UK-originated strips in the title together with their respective issue numbers.

 * The Incredible Hulk, #1-6, 9-20, 26-28

Talk:Doublet (linguistics)

old talk
Would be great to have some references here. I'm also guilty of not including references/links, but in trying to build it found a great site - http://www.etymonline.com/abbr.php

Yes, a great resource etymonline is. I'm about to propose a merge w/ etymological twins. What do you think? Adam Mathias 01:38, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Mister (...) Alteration of master—. Are they considered doublets in such case? If decision is that they are, just add them to the list of English examples on my behalf, whoever you are.

—6birc, 12:22, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

The foreign word "hospes," mentioned in the article, has a slew of doublets: hospice, hospitable, hospital, hospitality, host, hostess, hostage, hostel, hostler, hotel, and spital. They all come from the Latin hospes, and all these words generally mean to provide accommodations for people. This may not seem to make sense for the word "hostage," but it really does mean "to provide accommodations for someone (until certain demands are met)."

Another interesting set of doublets is: "apothecary," "boutique" and "bodega." They also show how languages can modify consonants and vowels but keep the same general pronunciation. The word "apothecary" (a pharmacy or drugstore) comes from the Greek apotheke which means "storehouse." The English words "boutique" and "bodega" also come from "apotheca." Ignore the vowels, and look at the consonants of these cognates. In the order of their pronunciation, they are: p or b, then th or t or d, then c or q or g. All three cognates have kept the same general pronunciation of consonants: the two lips (p,or b), then the tip of the tongue (th, t or d), and then the back of the tongue (c, q or g).

The following doublets are also of interest because they are borrowed into English from the Old French (pre-1500s) (with 's' before the particular vowel) and again from French (post 1500s) (with the 's' removed and the affected vowel with a circumflex): beast-bête, boscage-bouquet, castle-chateau, crust-crouton, feast-fete, hostel-hotel, master-maitre, paste-pâté, rasp-rappee, reconnaissance-reconnoiter, roast-rotisserie, vassal-valet. The change of removing the 's' and adding the circumflex occurred when Old French became French in the 1500s. The circumflex disappears from the words fully asimilated into English.

Yeah, you're right about the references; guilty as charged. Although, all of this can probably be found in http://www.etymonline.com/abbr.php and other standard etymological sources. -- DFurlani 19:27, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Triplet example queried
Your example implies that Cordial, Heart and Sincere all have the same root- Cordial and Heart might, but Sincere comes from the latin meaning 'without a crack' or something like that, I'm sure, so if I'm right this doesn't make sense?! IceDragon64 (talk) 00:51, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Cow/Beef
This is listed as a couplet although I don't think they have the same root. Am I misunderstanding something? Quantumelfmage (talk) 05:47, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

 * They're generally traced back to a common Indo-European stem pronounced something like gwow... AnonMoos (talk) 13:08, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Cow/Beef revisited
The statements about cow and boef are unsettling. Germanic speaking lower classes were ruled over by French aristocrats. Cow was of Germanic origin and boef was the translation into French. Nearly every word in English has two origins; Germanic and French. The laws were written in both. ie Break and Entre, Assault and Battre, Will and Testament, Chicken and Poulet (poultry), Swine and Pork.

This is not "borrowing" it is massive importing. These words did not grow up together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.141.52.159 (talk) 20:06, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Loot/Leaf
I've read somewhere that the native English cognate of the word "loot" (a relatively recent loan from Hindi) is "leaf". The meanings are, of course, incredibly off; EtymOnline follows "loot" to Sanskrit lota-m "stolen property", and "leaf" to PIE *leup "to break off" (bridging most of the meaning gap). Is it true? It might well be; if so should it get included in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.179.218.11 (talk) 12:09, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

 * According to American Heritage Dictionary, that's more the Hindi form, while the Sanskrit form is "loptra"... AnonMoos (talk) 11:10, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Over/Upper/Hyper/Super
I *think* these are all related, but I would need someone smarter than me to check. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.244.79.57 (talk) 01:19, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

doublet paragraphs

 * Another possibility is borrowing from both a language and its daughter language. In English this is usually Latin and some other Romance language, particularly French ....

 * Less directly, a term may be borrowed both directly from a source language and indirectly via an intermediate language. In English this is most common in borrowings from Latin, and borrowings from French that are themselves from Latin ....

Are these two paragraphs intended to be distinct? If so, I'm having a hard time with even the possibility of the latter, let alone an example. We'd need a word that was borrowed (rather than inherited with the usual changes) by French from Latin, and then borrowed into English from the French borrowing; a way to distinguish that from a direct Latin→English borrowing; and a separate direct Latin→English borrowing of the same word, resulting in a distinct form. —Tamfang (talk) 21:26, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Polish
What's with the superscript z in two of the Polish examples? —Tamfang (talk) 07:47, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Redirect for "Dialect borrowing"
Why is "Dialect borrowing" redirected to this article? The only use I can find for "Dialect borrowing" is from Bloomfield's Language (1933), which doesn't seem to have anything at all to do with doublets. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshisanonymous (talk • contribs) 17:21, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

 * (New matter at the bottom, please, using the new section button.) Dialect borrowing can create doublets; but that's not a good enough reason to redirect here rather than to Loanword. —Tamfang (talk) 17:30, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Spanish section
Firstly, there's no evidence that Spanish 'dinero' came through an Arabic intermediate, so I'm going to change that. It's simply derived from Latin denarius, with the initial -i- perhaps due to influence from a Greek form, which affected most of the Romance descendants. Every etymological source I consulted seems to list it as just a descendant of the Latin (http://dle.rae.es/?id=Doas5g0, https://www.scribd.com/doc/157209215/Diccionario-Critico-Etimologico-castellano-C-F-Corominas-Joan-pdf, etc.) It's true that some Arabic languages use a form 'dinar' but that was probably separate from the Spanish, which evolved the normal ending from '-arius' to '-ero' (same with Portuguese 'dinheiro', Catalan 'diner', French 'denier', etc.)

Also, all of the Romance languages have copious amounts of doublets, not just Spanish. Should sections be included for them too? Wiktionary is working on compiling an extensive list of doublets as well. Word dewd544 (talk) 04:12, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Welsh
The Wikipedia article lists “lau” as a cognate for “day” words in Welsh. The day part in Difiau is the beginning, not the end.80.187.81.23 (talk) 11:31, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Vague definition
The definition "different phonological forms but the same etymological root" can be misconstrued as (and this has happened on Bengali wiktionary): 'anything coming from (e.g.) the Arabic root 'k-t-b' is a doublet'. The point is that derivations are not the same word and don't suddenly become doublets when both of them are borrowed by another language. This also implies that some terms from a list like "right, rich, raj, rex, regalia, regal, reign, royal, and real" are not really doublets. Exarchus (talk) 11:01, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Completion
Some examples for the "completion" section could be given and/or developed (Q leading to R, the cited examples of formal power series etc. (explain "certain")). — MFH: Talk 16:34, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Definition
Does the definition of a topological ring not include the inverse operations being continuous maps (as is the case for a topological group)? --expensivehat 19:39, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

 * A ring only has an inverse operation for addition, and this is the same as multiplication by -1. So the continuity of the inverse operation follows from the continuity of multiplication. --Zundark 08:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

 * assuming there is a unit...— MFH:Talk 15:57, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

All members of the ring have an additive inverse anyway. But the set of all units in a ring constitute a group with the multiplication operation. Does anyone know why it is not required that the map defined on this group sending an element onto its inverse is not required to be continuous (when this group inherits the subspace topology from the topology on the ring)? Or why this group is not required to be a topological group under the multiplication operation (and with the subspace topology)?

Topology Expert (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 06:01, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Completion
The section about completion sounds a bit weird, especially the sentence "The ring S can be constructed as a set of equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences in R." It feels like this shouldn't hold in such generality (e.g. for non-separated I-adic topology). Patrick Massot (talk) 18:52, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

 * First, you haven't (as I write this) done anything except put the tag onto the article. You have missed the next two steps in the AfD process. Please read and follow the instructions for listing an article at AfD if you haven't already. Second this article is clearly notable and it is easy to cite multiple [{WP:RS|reliable sources]] that show its notability. I agree with you that it requires proper citation, but the way to achieve that is to put a  tag on the article, not try to have it deleted. Thanks, Gwernol 22:15, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

German version vs English version
I recommend

1) the translation of this article into German 2) the translation of the German version of this article into English 3) combining the info, as the way it is currently is the content is totally different. The German article contains info the English doesn't and vice versa.

Considering the space the German heritage railways take up on the German version of this article maybe the creation of a seperate article "heritage railways in Germany" might make sense. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.163.183.181 (talk) 07:00, 17 March 2007 (UTC).

Linking to trains that no longer run?
I just finished an article about Samtrak, which was a tourist line in Portland, Oregon. It is no longer running. Would that preclude linking to it from this article? PerlDreamer 23:54, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:2005 Atlantic hurricane season/Archive 8

Redirect?
Should Hurricane Maria really redirect to the article page? There was a Tropical Storm Maria in the 2000 Pacific typhoon season. Perhaps we could rename all of the Hurricane Blank disambiguation pages to Tropical Storm Blank since in the Northern Hemisphere tropical storm is used in all basins. Michelle T 16:16, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Ooh, we're back to 2000 typhoon season. I didn't know older seasons were being worked on, that's good. Just give it time and I'll get to it eventually. And that naming issue is worth discussing, that's a good point. --Golbez 16:27, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Hurricane Maria should redirect to 2005 Atlantic hurricane season - since it isn't a hurricane in the Western Pacific, and as a forgotten fish-spinner, it definitely isn't worthy of its own article (there is no Impact section to fill it up enough, and fish-spinners almost never get retired unless they sink ships and kill thousands). What could be done is Tropical Storm Maria could be a disambiguation... CrazyC83 16:52, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Personally I'm starting to lean towards having a linked disambig page, so yes, Hurricane would redirect to the dab as well. But this is a minor quibble at this moment. I'll look at it over the next few days. --Golbez 17:24, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

 * That's what I was thinking. Redirect Hurricane Maria to Tropical Storm Maria, and make that a disambiguation page. There is no naming conflict because most if not all typhoons and hurricanes start out as tropical storms. Michelle T 17:41, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

 * But should this be global? i.e. if a name was only used in the Atlantic, then should the dab page be TS or H? --Golbez 17:51, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I would suppose it should be Tropical Storm Blank if was used in the Atlantic and/or the East/Central Pacific, unless all storms with that name became hurricanes. In that case, Hurricane Blank could be the disambig page. But in the future, it may be necessary to rename it. If it is used in basins with different terminologies, like Maria is, it should be Tropical Storm Blank because Tropical Storm is a global term, whereas Hurricane and Typhoon aren't. Michelle T 18:01, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

 * If there is only one possible interpretation of Hurricane Maria thus far, why redirect to the disambiguation page instead going directly to the most likely intended meaning? A person looking for Hurricane Maria certainly won't be looking for Pacific Tropical Storm Maria, although the other way around is possible.  We could do one of those "x redirects here.  For y_description, see y." notes. AySz88 ^  -  ^  21:01, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Tropical Storm x should be the global disambiguation page. Hurricane x should be the season redirect, the storm link for a single major storm (i.e. Rita) or the basin disambiguation page (that we have now). Here is an example:

Tropical Storm Noname - global disambiguation (if necessary), linking to the following:
 * Hurricane Noname - for Atlantic and Eastern Pacific storms
 * Typhoon Noname - for Western Pacific storms
 * Cyclone Noname - for Indian Ocean and South Pacific storms

Each of those second-level pages would do one of the following:
 * Disambiguate to multiple storms of that name
 * Link to the season (if only one, non-notable storm of that name)
 * Link to the individual storm (if only one notable storm)

CrazyC83 16:21, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

 * There's also an issue of names of storms for other basins. Maybe as many as half of the atlantic names are also used in the NW or SW Pacific, and this needs to be disambiguated somehow.  My suggestion is that Tropical Cyclone Maria be the global disambiguation.  Other articles (Tropical Storm Maria, Hurricane Maria, Typhoon Maria   etc.) can redirect wherever seems appropriate, but remember that if we redirect to a season article there's not much chance for a reader to find their way to the disambiguation.  And I know that none of the Pacific articles exist yet...but eventually they will.  Jdorje 16:29, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Oops, sorry CrazyC83 I didn't read what you wrote closely enough. I agree with you entirely.  Tropical Storm redirects to Tropical Cyclone so either of those would be suitable prefixes for the global disambiguation.  Those in the Atlantic probably would be more familiar with Tropical Storm (though people might try to correct it if all the storms involved are full hurricanes); dunno about those in other basins. Jdorje 16:33, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Another Greek question
If Greek names are indeed retired if they cause enough damage, besides in future years, what happens to the other basin, considering both the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific basins use Greek names? --NSLE | Talk 03:38, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I believe this falls under the category of "a solution waiting for a problem". This is a hurdle that they don't need to expend brain power solving until it becomes an issue. --Golbez 04:34, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

 * The two basins are done independently of each other. It is not unprecedented for a name to be retired in one basin and still in use in the other (Hilda, for example, was retired from the Atlantic lists but is still in use for Pacific cyclones).  B.Wind 04:47, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The Wikipedia article on the Greek alphabet mentions Phoenician equivalents - perhaps that could be a solution. KP 15:06, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Honestly, what is the likelihood of a retirement that late in the season? Do November and December hurricanes often get retired?? Devahn58 05:43, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Hurricane Lenny, one good example. -- NSLE | Talk 06:04, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Hurricane Mitch, despite the fact that it formed in October, also lasted into early November. bob rulz 06:07, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Not to mention one that should have but didn't, Hurricane Gordon in 1994... CrazyC83 22:33, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Don't forget Hurricane Michelle, named the first day of November, 2001.157.30.140.120 02:02, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The 1995 season had two October hurricanes two later got their names retired: Opal (which actually got its name in September) and Roxanne. B.Wind 05:06, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Not to mention that we may be in greek letters in October. --Holderca1 12:22, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Five storms would be the most active October on record, would it not? --69.86.16.61 13:32, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I believe so (the current record IIRC is 4 storms in October - 1995 and possibly a few other seasons). CrazyC83 15:02, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Am I missing something? The archive dataset appears to show 6 storms forming in October 1950 - How, Item, Jig, King, Love and an unnamed system well to the east. And in October 1870 (for what this reconstructed data is worth) it shows 6 storms forming which all became hurricanes !--Keith Edkins 21:08, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

My thought for the solution in case a Greek letter gets retired: first, use the four obsolete letters. Since this could be a once-in-a-lifetime event (or at least will be difficult to match - only 1887, 1933, 1969 and 1995 came close and except for 1995, they may have had one or more get away from them unnoticed), they should last a long time. CrazyC83 16:07, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Like you said this might be a once-in-a-lifetime event so why not just use the rest of the alphabet? Q, U, X, Y,and Z? Instead of Greek letters. For myself I think it would be nice to have a  storm name Quinton, Yasmin or Zack then Alpha, Zeta or Omega. But that's my opinion. User:tdwuhs

 * I agree, but the Greek stuff is the system that we have set up now. That may change, but we stand where we stand.

Total Damages vs. Economic Impact
Hurricane Katrina DID NOT destroy $200 billion worth of property. That estimate was of economic impact. I brought it up in the Hurricane Katrina talk page and I'll bring it up here since most of the more rational people seem to hang out here (and I hope to God that they stay). I've lost count of how many times I've reverted that stuff. It's getting just slightly aggrivating. I'm not exactly sure what to do about it.

E. Brown, Hurricane enthusiast - Squawk Box 02:32, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * So was Andrews 25 or so billion $'s in damage economic impact or property damage? Fableheroesguild 03:12, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Hold off until after the season when the NHC releases its official reports. Then make the changes and provide a link right next to it.  Proceed to revert anyone who changes it back (I'll help out on that as well), and it will end up staying the way it should be. -- tomf688 {talk} 03:14, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Fable, Andrew's (and everybody elses) is property damage. The total cost lists property damage and I believe it should stay that way. Tom, impatience is a terrible thing. :) Seriously, you bring up a rather good point.

 * E. Brown, Hurricane enthusiast - Squawk Box 03:23, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Economic impact isn't counted. Insured property damage is, and that's what we go on, times two. --Golbez 04:24, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Roughly yes. I always create a range, starting at about 150-160% of insured damage and going up to 220% or so. However, major flood disasters (i.e. Katrina) will likely have a higher uninsured damage than storms with mostly wind damage (i.e. Charley) due to more likely infrastructure damage and more poorer properties affected. CrazyC83 15:28, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I heard a news report of $34.4B insured damages from Katrina...so what will that indicate?(Shouldn't this be on the List of notable tropical cyclones talk page,where last I knew no one had imported the 2004 "wealth-normalized" list from the NHC site to replace the 2003?--Louis E./le@put.com/12.144.5.2 19:12, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * @Crazy: The NHC/TPC knows what they are doing; I'm sure they will account for the situation and give as accurate of numbers as possible.

 * @Anon: If we take the usual 2:1 ratio of insured v uninsured damage, it would indicate damages of around $70 bil. But, again, wait until the NHC/TPC releases its official report before taking numbers given by the often fallible news media. -- tomf688 {talk} 19:16, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

It seems we're all agreed. I stand firm that the Hurricane Katrina article should be changed and revert anyone who says otherwise without an official source.

E. Brown, Hurricane enthusiast - Squawk Box 00:48, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I assume the primary reason they use property damage is since it's a more solid number than, say, economic damage, which can be influenced by other events/disasters and the line is harder to draw. Plus, it's the same system they've used in all the other storms, so, for consistency's sake, we have to keep it the same. -- tomf688 {talk} 02:46, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Vince: Tropical Cyclone or Hurricane?
The article currently says farthest north and east a tropical cyclone has formed in this basin (per NHC). Should we call it a hurricane or cyclone, given that North Atlantic cyclones are hurricanes, and the NHC is giving advisories on a Hurricane and not a Cyclone? -- NSLE | Talk 07:01, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * NHC said this in their 2:05 PM Tropical Weather Discussion on October 9th:

"A PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION SUGGESTS THIS IS THE FARTHEST EAST AND NORTH A TROPICAL CYCLONE HAS EVER FORMED IN THE BASIN."

So I call it a tropical cyclone. What you had was a hurricane formed in the basin, which should have been "tropical storm" or something. Just what I think. -- RattleMan 07:14, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Tropical storms and hurricanes are both tropical cyclones. Jdorje 07:15, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Can we say "storm", though? Besides, if a hurricane is upgraded from a TS, has it not "formed" in the basin? -- NSLE | Talk 07:17, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I think that saying "tropical cyclone" makes it sound more broader and more special because nothing like this has ever happened before. -- RattleMan 07:21, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Tropical cyclone is the general name for the things called hurricanes in the Atlantic and typhoons in the NE Pacific. However, it doesn't imply any particular wind strength, just a closed surface circulation surronding a warm core, with lots of rain. So, call it either... though as it reached wind speeds sufficient for a hurricane, you'll be more precise if you call it a hurricane. Tompw 10:04, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * That I know, I was just wondering as I had changed the article to read something along the lines of "Vince is the farthest north and east a hurricane has ever formed", although indeed tropical cyclone is also correct. I still think we should use "hurricane", though. -- NSLE | Talk 10:07, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * What the NHC is saying is that this is the fartherest east and north that even so much as a tropical depression has formed. Never mind that it started out as a tropical storm and then became a hurricane.  My suggestion if to write. "This is the fartherest north and east that any tropical cyclone (i.e., tropical depression, tropical storm, or hurricane) has formed".
 * BTW - I agree that the title of this storm is Hurricance Vince. --EMS | Talk 14:58, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

I think we are completely missing the fact that tropical cyclone is the general term used to describe a warm-core cyclone with a closed circulation that has winds of at least 30 mph (25 mph in some people's books, I'm not completely opposed to that opinion). Vince technically qualifies for both records. Hurricane Vince is its official designation based on its estimated intensity.

E. Brown, Hurricane enthusiast - Squawk Box 00:42, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree that what you have summed up is the point being missed. However, this is the first that I have heard of there being a minimum lntensity for a topical cyclone.  As a practical matter, the system cannot sustain iteself once the winds get too light, but officially I do not belive that there is any minimum at all. --EMS | Talk 02:51, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Nothing beyond a reasonable number (Absolute minimum 10 mph in my book, others may have a different opinion). Officially, you're probably correct. Wind speed is in fact one of the lesser factors in determining if a system is a tropical cyclone or not. Warm-core and closed circulation are the key things. Maintaining deep convection (the most damaging parts of the storm, the elements under the white mass you see on the sat imagery or central dense overcast), is also extremely important.

 * E. Brown, Hurricane enthusiast - Squawk Box 03:11, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I sure as heck can't remember when, but I do know that I've seen 25 MPH advisories for active Tropical Depressions on very, very rare occasions. The Great Zo 13:03, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

This is like saying "Ford says this is the best car they've ever made, should we call it a 'Ford car' instead of a 'Ford sedan'???" I'm a little dismayed that so much virtual ink has been spent discussing such a non-issue. --Golbez 14:28, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

List of districts of Odisha

Odisha, a state on the eastern coast of India, is divided into 30 administrative geographical units called Districts. These 30 districts have been placed under three different revenue divisions to streamline their governance. The divisions are Central, North and South with their headquarters at Cuttack (Central Division), Sambalpur (Northern Division), Berhampur (Southern Division) respectively. Each division consists of 10 districts, and has as its administrative head a Revenue Divisional Commissioner (RDC), a senior rank officer of Indian Administrative Service. The position of the RDC in the administrative hierarchy is that between that of the district administration and the state secretariat. Each District is governed by a Collector & District Magistrate, who is appointed from the Indian Administrative Service. The Collector & District Magistrate is responsible for collecting the revenue and maintaining law and order in the district. Each District is separated into Sub-Divisions, each governed by a Sub-Collector & Sub-Divisional Magistrate. The Sub-Divisions are further divided into Tahasils. The Tahasils are headed by Tahasildar. Odisha has 03 Divisions, 30 Districts, 58 Sub-Divisions, 317 Tahasils and 314 Blocks.

François Omam-Biyik

François Omam-Biyik (born 21 May 1966) is a Cameroonian football manager and former player who works as assistant manager of Cameroon.

A forward, he was one of the most important players of the Cameroon national team in the nineties, playing at the three World Cups in 1990, 1994 and 1998. He played 73 international matches in total.

Early life
Omam-Biyik started out as a goalkeeper, and later a defender, before converting into a striker at the age of 16.

Club career
Omam-Biyik had success with different French clubs before moving to Marseille in the summer of 1992. He only played one match, and was transferred to Lens in October 1992. After a few years he continued his career in Mexico with Club América and Puebla F.C., with short stops in European clubs towards the late nineties. Omam-Biyik retired after the 1999–2000 season.

In 1987 and 1991 he finished third in a run for an African Footballer of the Year award.

In 2003, he played in the Adecmac amateur soccer league in Mexico City with Club Deportivo Sahara, where he scored 10 goals in the season.

International career
Omam-Biyik's greatest moment came when he scored the downward header that gave Cameroon a historic 1–0 win over defending world champions Argentina in the San Siro in the opening match of the 1990 World Cup. He and his brother André helped Cameroon to the quarter-finals.

He also scored against Sweden in the first round of the 1994 World Cup.

He was called up to 1998 World Cup, which was his third.

Omam-Biyik scored a total of 26 goals in 73 appearances. He is Cameroon's record World Cup player, with 11 matches in three tournaments.

Style of play
Omam-Biyik's aerial ability led to the term "Omam-Biyik" being used as a nickname for a headed goal. While he took part in high jumping at school, he says he was "born" with his heading ability.

Managerial career
Following his retirement Omam-Biyik moved to Colima, Mexico, where he was the head coach of the city's Second Division professional soccer team.

Omam-Biyik was appointed assistant coach of the Indomitable Lions (Cameroon football team) for a two-year tenure, with Spaniard Javier Clemente as head coach.

Omam-Biyik became the head coach of Togolese side Gomido FC in May 2013. He pledged to help rebuild the first team but worked with the club for just two months.

On 20 July 2013, Omam-Biyik was signed to coach Gabonese champions Union Sportive de Bitam, replacing his compatriot Thomas Libiih.

At the end of September 2019, Omam-Biyik was appointed assistant manager under newly hired manager Toni Conceição for Cameroon.

Personal life
He is the father of Emilio Omam-Biyik and cousin of Francis Eliezer Omam, both of whom are footballers. François' older brother, André, and André's son, Jean-Armel, are also footballers.

Honours
Lens
 * Coupe de la Ligue: 1994

Cameroon
 * Africa Cup of Nations: 1988

William Joseph McDonough

William Joseph McDonough (April 21, 1934 – January 22, 2018) was an American economist. He was president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from 1993 to 2003.

He was also a former vice chairman and special advisor to the chairman at Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc., responsible for assisting senior management in the company's business development efforts with governments and financial institutions.

Education
McDonough earned a bachelors degree in economics from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1956.

He received a masters degree in economics from Georgetown University in 1962.

He also served as an advisory board member for the Yale School of Management.

Career
McDonough was with the U.S. Navy from 1956 to 1961. During this period he spent time on a destroyer, was stationed in Pearl Harbor, taught at the U.S. Naval Academy, and earned his masters degree by attending night school.

He was with the U.S. State Department from 1961 to 1967, and became fluent in Spanish and French. He was sent to Uruguay as a diplomat, and also worked in Washington D.C. on Latin American policy.

First Chicago Corporation and its bank, First National Bank of Chicago, needed someone with economic skills and international experience, and hired McDonough in 1967. First Chicago initially sent him to Paris and then London, before bringing him back to the head office in the U.S., where he rose to vice chairman of the corporation in 1986. Concluding he was unlikely to become CEO of the firm, McDonough retired from First Chicago in 1989 after a 22-year career there.

Before joining the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, McDonough served as an advisor to a variety of domestic and international organizations.

McDonough joined the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in 1992 as executive vice president, head of the bank's markets group and manager of the Federal Open Market Committee‘s (FOMC) open market operations. He served as president and chief executive officer from July 1993 to July 2003. As president, he served as the vice chairman and a permanent member of the FOMC, which formulates U.S. monetary policy. McDonough also served on the board of directors of the Bank for International Settlements and as chairman of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.

From 2003 to 2005, he was chairman of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, a private-sector, not-for-profit corporation created by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to oversee auditors of public companies.

McDonough was a member of the board of directors of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. He was chairman of the Investment Committee for the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund, and was co-chairman of the United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNA-USA). He was also an emeritus member of the Group of Thirty, an influential Washington-based financial advisory body, and was a director of the Council on Foreign Relations since 1995.

Talk:List of Jewish scientists

Other lists
Is someone trying to set up an alternative article and pinching all the names from this one? Wouldn't it be better to rename the article if there's something wrong with the name? RachelBrown 16:37, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

According to User:jinfo this list is copyrighted off his website and he demands immediate retractions. see Articles for deletion/List of Jewish Recipients of National Medal of Science StabRule 21:46, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

The statement "This article and all its revisions are a blatant copyright infringement from the website of a commercial content provider: jinfo.org" is wrong. I cannot comment on recent revisions, but the revisions I made were not based on this web site, which I have never looked at. - RachelBrown 23:17, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

That website is the only reference lifted on this page - surely you know of it. StabRule 02:40, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

 * As RachelBrown's first comment above indicates, the massive, virtually verbatim transfer of content from JINFO.ORG began towards the end of September.  The "someone" that she refers to as the party responsible appears to have been LazarKr. The lists that had appeared on the webpage prior to that time did not seem to have been derived from JINFO.ORG. The list of Cognitive Scientists on the most recent versions of the webpage also appeared to have been independently generated. We do not believe RachelBrown was involved in the copying of our lists. Jinfo 06:11, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Rachel I made it just a redirect because I don't want to be accused of recreating a deleted list. Although maybe this won't happen.--T. Anthony 17:14, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

If there has been a copyvio, I obviously dissociate myself from it completely. Can we just roll back to an edit before the mass-copying started? - RachelBrown 12:24, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I am doubtful that lists of facts can be copyrighted actually, please explain why you think they can be and provide appropriate legal documentation. Arniep 22:25, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

 * The JINFO.ORG lists are unique in their extent, comprehensiveness, uniformity, and accuracy. There are no comparable lists extant anywhere in the fields covered. To formulate high-quality lists of this genre requires first that the list compiler understand what the particular field is all about and what the major discoveries, advances, inventions, etc. were.  (In the sciences, this is no trivial matter.)  It then requires knowing who did what and then figuring out and verifying which of these individuals were Jewish.  Let's examine the last of these issues first.

 * Consider the Wikipedia "List of Jewish Members of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE)." This should have been a relatively easy list to compile in the sense that the compiler only needed to determine which names on the already existing membership list to include. An accurate list would have contained more than 500 names (approximately 18% of the ~3200 current and deceased members). What we find instead is a list of only 99 names, i.e. a list that is more than 80% incomplete.  Furthermore, when we examine the names on the list, we find that 73 of them just happen to be names found on the JINFO.ORG website, which currently covers only one out of the twelve divisional areas of the NAE (Computer Science and Engineering).  At least seven more of the names were listed on the JEWHOO.COM website.  So Wikipedia was able to come up with no more than 19 names on its own, out of more than 500.  According to you, such a list is simply a matter of "fact."  One has a given set of Academy members and they're either Jewish or not Jewish. So why was Wikipedia only able to come up with less than 4% of the expected number on its own?

 * When we examine the Wikipedia "List of Jewish Members of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS)," a similar pattern reappears. Although this list is only about 50% incomplete, we find that 95% of the names on it are names from the JINFO.ORG lists (without source attribution, of course).  There are hundreds of additional names that belong on this list; so why was Wikipedia unable to get more than 5% of them?  After all, according to you, these are just "facts"; one should simply be able to look them up - right?  The point is that there is no central registry of Jews where one can simply look up whether someone is or isn't Jewish.  Even the Jewish encyclopedias don't contain more than a small fraction of the information that would be required to compile reasonably complete and accurate lists of the Jewish members of the NAE and the NAS.  The only way to do this is by extensive biographical research, i.e., by going through hundreds of interviews, biographies, autobiographies, oral histories, memoirs, obituaries, genealogical databases, obscure biographical dictionaries (many in foreign languages), and Festschriften.  The information is out there, but it requires a massive amount of work to locate and compile.

 * Now let's consider the more challenging task of constructing a Jewish list where there is no initial list from which to down-select. The old Wikipedia "List of Jewish Scientists and Philosophers" can still be viewed on many mirror sites (Google search, e.g., on "answers.com list Jewish scientists"). Note that the first list on this webpage, "Biologists and Chemists," contains a grand total of ten names.  Our lists, on the other hand, in these two areas contain the names of 81 Nobel Prize winners alone, and several hundred others of a similar caliber.  In addition to being incomplete, the Wikipedia list is what I would describe as highly non-uniform.  On this very short list one finds the names of the Nobel Prize winners Sir Hans Krebs and Sir Ernst Chain, two of the greatest biochemists of the twentieth century, along with the names of Israel Shahak and George Waldbott.  Israel Shahak's principal claim to fame was that of being the Jew-haters' favorite self-hating Jew; he also happened to be a chemist.  George Waldbott was a fluoridation critic back in the 1950s.  So the Wikipedia list, despite being a mere 2% in size of the corresponding JINFO.ORG lists, nevertheless managed to span the gamut from the famous to the infamous to the obscure.  Why this monumental discrepancy in both the quality and the extent of the two lists?  What you are claiming is that the JINFO.ORG lists are merely lists of "facts."  How does Wikipedia know these are "facts"?  And if it does know them to be "facts," why didn't it use them in formulating its previous lists?

 * Furthermore, when we examine the annotations added by Wikipedia to the JINFO.ORG lists, it becomes clear that the editor or editors did not even understand how certain individuals could be considered economists, computer scientists, philosophers, etc. at all. For example, on the list of "Computer Scientists," Max Black is described as "linguistic philosopher," Georg Cantor as "father of set theory," Noam Chomsky as "cognitive psychology," Joel Engel as "father of cellular phone," Dennis Gabor  as "hologram," Steven Strogatz as "chaos theory," Peter Swerling as "radar theoretician," and Leo Szilard as "nuclear fission reactor."  These designations are correct, but relate to major contributions by these people having NOTHING directly to do with computer science.  These people are on my list of "Computer and Information Scientists" because they did other work related to computer science or because their work was covered by the broader category that I defined as "computer and information science." Max Black is on the list because he invented fuzzy logic, Georg Cantor because he invented the diagonal proof method that was the basis of Turing's work, Noam Chomsky because he invented the basis for the BNF notation used to specify the syntax rules for computer programming languages, Joel Engel because he co-invented cellular networks, Dennis Gabor because he invented analytic signal theory, Steven Strogatz because of work on network theory (explaining "six degrees of separation"), Peter Swerling because he invented the Kalman filter in control theory, and Leo Szilard because he introduced the informational interpretation of thermodynamic entropy. The speciousness of the argument that my lists are just simple lists of facts is made self-evident by Wikipedia's own annotations, which clearly indicate that in many cases it couldn't even figure out why these "facts" are facts.

 * Attorneys inform me that content that has any form of creative originality to it is copyrightable. I respectfully submit that that more than applies to my lists, which are the product of thousands of hours of research and analysis. Jinfo 04:34, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Despite what generic "attorneys" tell User:Jinfo, compilations of information are not in themselves copyrightable (in the US). That was the "sweat of the brow" doctrine which was thoroughly dismissed by the US Supreme Court case Feist, which basically held that a list of names, organized alphabetically and with intent to be comprehensive for the list, is not an "original work of authorship" and therefore is barred, by the US Constitution, from copyright protection.  See Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service.  Data compilations can get copyright for (a) originality of selection; but "comprehensive" and "complete" are not selective (Feist), nor is the idea of compiling lists by profession and ethnicity/race/gender/religion; and (b) original arrangements; but alphabetical is not an original arrangement. (Feist). --LQ 21:45, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

contains yet additional discussion. (In particular, the bottom third deals with Feist v. Rural.) Jinfo 17:24, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I can't seem to find the deletion log on this list. Instead of showing the Deletion log it says "This is the fucking ultimate in stupid lists. MUST EAT ITS BRAIN," which isn't very useful to me to understanding the vote.--T. Anthony 09:53, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

The smartest thing to do with this list is just put links to List of Austrian Jews List of German Jews etc. for all the scientists and philosophers are accounted for in the country lists. Anything further is extraneous. Antidote 22:00, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Why no British scientists?
Shouldn't there be a section for the United Kingdom? 20.138.246.89 16:49, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Multinational Jews
I noticed Albert Einstein was listed under Germans, but not under any of his other later nationalities. Are we doing this by country of birth or residence or what? Would it be appropriate to include those who emmigrated to other countries and gained citizenship there in both countries? Titanium Dragon 09:34, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I was under the impression we were doing it by country where the person is most recognizable. Most people associate Einstein with Germany, so it makes sense he should be on there even though he lived in many places. But what I don't understand why some Austrian immigrants are more representative for Great Britain than Austrian: Hermann Bondi, Karl Popper? That's a little bias. Smartest thing is to make them British-born, most people when they look up a BRITISH scientist, think of that.

Also, why does Israel have every single University professor listed on there? If anyone is going to look up an Israeli scientist quickly, its likely going to be someone like Avram Hershko or Robert Aumann. How is Ilya more Russian than Belgian? Or how is Georg Cantor and Richard Epstein the most "looked-up" German and American, respectively?

Also Otto Wienger, IMHO, isn't a great representative for the philosophers of Austria, given his history, but hey, thats just an opinion. 65.8.28.68 17:16, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Why should this list categorise people solely by place of birth? Hermann Bondi lived to 85; while he was born in Austria, he lived in Britain from the time he was 18, well over 3/4 of his life.  He was a Cambridge don (becoming master of a college) and a top British civil servant, and was knighted.  He was vastly more British than Austrian. --20.138.246.89 10:09, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

 * So you're denying Bondi his Austrian identity and German-language purely because he spent most of his life in the UK? No, we should categorise people fairly. Since these are quick-reference lists, isn't it smart to put people who are most recognizably associated with that country and make it fair to them? Who are we to say Bondi would rather be seen as British than Austrian? 65.11.245.10 15:21, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

 * That begs the question. Who are we to say Bondi would rather be seen as Austrian than British? And where do we draw the line? What of Claus Moser, who came to Britain when he was a child, or Leon Mestel, who came as a baby? Are they excluded?--20.138.246.89 15:41, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Great Britain Quick Listers
Lets think up the best British-born Jewish academics to put here.

In my opinion, great representatives for this county would be:
 * James Joseph Sylvester
 * Rosalind Franklin
 * Brian David Josephson

Add more!

All were British-born, identified so, and are readily recognizable in association with that country. Meaning, anyone who happens to look up "British Jews" would likely think of people like Rosalind Franklin.

They would be at least as likely to think of Selig Brodetsky, President of B'nai B'rith Great Britain and President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, yet not born in Britain.--Brownlee 09:56, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Hey, I see we both got usernames. Anyway, no, judging from Brodetsky's article, he doesn't look like the best entry. ...And Beyond! 17:21, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Are you saying that you're a sockpuppet? I have been using this username for months, making hundreds of edits on a wide variety of subjects, and am not editing anonymously.--Brownlee 17:00, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Why not? Because he was undoubtedly a vey distinguished British Jew, yet was not born here?--Newport 09:56, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Exactly why. See details below for why it is the most fair and balanced way to proceed that way. ...And Beyond! 10:19, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

To me and to many others, any list of eminent British Jews confined to those born here would be unrepresentative. Few British scientists of the 20th century were as eminent as Bondi, and to refuse to allow him into this list would be a gross distortion.--Brownlee 17:00, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Sir Herman Bondi
There is a very simple objective test here. If Sir Hermann Bondi had been regarded as Austrian while at the height of his career, the Royal Society would have made him a Foreign Member. In fact, they made him a Fellow. Also, if he were Austrian he wouldn't have been allowed to call himself "Sir Hermann".

Well, a lot of foreign-born people were knighted, and ones who spent a much longer time in their country of origin. Sir Ernst Boris Chain? Don't see your point. Does that automatically mean Chain is less of a German academic representative and more of a British one? I don't think I ever said that Bondi is more Austrian than British. He's on List of British Jews, isn't he? But why bother making him an entry on the quick-list? Just to prove a point that he's more British than Austrian? Look at the selection of US Jewish academics. It's exactly reflective of How Great Britain should be, considering both were massive immigrant hubs. I would be sorta for removing Oppenheimer, but whatever. You can't disagree that its the most neutral and fair method to simply not include foreign-borns on this list so that people don't start questioning national affliations. We've already developed that problem. Look at the user posting above. ...And Beyond! 17:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Incidentally, by the logic being used above, why are Jews born in what is now the Czech Republic arbitrarily being re-labelled as Austrians? --Brownlee 09:52, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Um..I don't know. Czech Republic didn't exist until circa 1920, so it was probably all Austria then. That's irrelevant and WP:POINT material. ...And Beyond! 17:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

 * It's very simple. We abide by WP:V, WP:NOR and WP:NPOV.  There are plenty of reputable sourcs that say that Bondi was British.  The article on Bondi in the Encyclopaedia Britannica begins "British mathematician and cosmologist".  There is also this link: .  If anyone has an equally reputable source that he was not British, we can discuss the issue.  But to say that he was not British in the face of these sources, just because he was not born here, is original research.--Newport 10:00, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Please stop being difficult and try to understand what exactly is going on here, because you clearly don't. Not once has anyone said Hermann Bondi was not British. What was said, is that he's not exactly the most neutrally favorable representativie for Britain ON THIS SHORT LIST OF PEOPLE (please read) because he was also Austrian. Above, we have a user asking how these people are chosen as representatives. Nobody bothered to address his greivance though it has great validity. For most nations, it is very simple to choose representatives for these short lists: we simply choose well known Jews who were born in that country. But for the USA and Great Britain (plus a few others), a problem arises. These countries are immigrant hubs and have many foreign born people who have become famous in their new homelands. Instead of picking and choosing who's more XXian than XXian why not just make it nice an neutral and only include people who are BORN in that country? It is an easy and very simple solution.

Plus, why are we listing very random academics on the Israeli list when it is clear the whole purpose of having this quick-reference list is to make it easy for people looking up very well-known academics? Otherwise, we'd just leave the links for them to click to the whole Israeli academic list and thats it. If you want to start throwing out wikipedia policies, maybe you should check out WP:OWN as I'm sure you've been told to before. Now either you can contribute to the formation of the new British list as I offered above, or you can stick with what I choose. Which way would you prefer? ...And Beyond! 10:17, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

 * The above has a strong POV: that people are only representative of britain if they were born here. WP:NPOV and WP:V say that anyone described as British in a reliable source are British.--Brownlee 17:02, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Rudolf Peierls
I can't understand how original research is disallowed when the question of someone not being Jewish is posed, but perfectly ok when the question of someone being Jewish is posed. If it is going to be argued that we should still leave the question open of Ralph Benatzky being Jewish since sources exist that say he's Jewish (despite the other sources that even explain where this error originated), then equivalently we should do the same for the source that says Peierl's mother was Roman Catholic (even if there exist some INDIRECT reasonings for this being "potentially wrong"). Since there is no source on TALK:Rudolf Peierls that says his mother is Jewish, it is original research to derive otherwise. I really, really doubt anyone reading this would be unaware of WP:NOR. Personally, I would agree that the reliability of sources should come into play if someone presents a source that says Peierls mother is Jewish, and then the source saying his mother is Roman Catholic can be ignored. However, I doubt the same type of logic will be applied to the Ralph Benatzky article. 141.213.212.42 17:13, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Rudolf Peierls
The reason that Peierls doesn't explain why he believes that his mother's sister probably died in a concentration camp or why her two daughters had to flee Germany, one ending up in Great Britain and the other in America, is that it is understood that he is talking about the typical fates of Jews in Nazi Germany. Here are the first few lines of the article on Rudolf Peierls in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. The article was written by the late Prof. Richard Dalitz, FRS of Oxford, one of Peierls' former students: "Peierls, Sir Rudolf Ernst (1907–1995), theoretical physicist, was born on 5 June 1907 in Oberschöneweide, a suburb in the south-east of Berlin, the youngest of the three children (Alfred (b. 1899); Annie (b. 1901); and Rudolf) of Heinrich Peierls (1867–1945), an electrical engineer from Breslau (Wrocław) and managing director of a cable factory of the Allgemeine Elektrizitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG), and his first wife, Elisabeth (Elli; 1878–1921), daughter of Alfred Weigert (1848–1896) and his wife, Olga Hamburger, both of Breslau. Rudolf's parents were first cousins through the Weigert line. The Peierls families were assimilated Jews." A second reference can be found in the November 1995 issue of Physics World magazine. On page 63, Jack Paton, also of Oxford University, writes "Born into an assimilated Jewish family, Peierls originally wanted to become an engineer..."Jinfo 04:25, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It's very simple - we have good sources that say that he was Jewish, and no sources that say explicitly that he wasn't. Discussing what his mother may or may not have been violates WP:NOR.  Anyway, even if it were relevant, these sources say unambiguously that he was of Jewish descent, not mixed Jewish-Catholic. "Rudolf's parents were first cousins through the Weigert line. The Peierls families were assimilated Jews." Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. "Born in Berlin of Jewish descent": The Economist (London); Sep 30, 1995; p. 121.--217.46.192.195 12:55, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

George Cantor
Wow, I had no idea about the debate going on about him until I checked out his article. It seems that when there is that much wrangling over sources and background, one should not be included in categories and lists. Anyways, maybe this should continue on his talk page and if it can be resolved either way, this page can be adjusted accordingly. Thanks, --Tom 13:31, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I just removed Heinrich Hertz since his father's father converted from Judaism to Lutheranism?? Again, is this a list of Jewish X or a listy of X's of Jewish descent? I would prefer to work this out on the individuals own article space and let that determine this list. Anyways --Tom 16:41, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

No, Hertz's father converted. Since Jews are an ethnicity as well as a religion, we make no distinction between Jews and people of Jewish descent.--Simul8 16:47, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * So his father was born Jewish but converted. So that makes Hertz Jewish? ok, I am done editing here for now. --Tom 16:49, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Unsourced names

 * I've moved the following unsouced names here for referencing. Please add them back with sources. I'll note in passing that inclusion standards for the list as stated in the introduction - i.e. anyone with any Jewish ancestry whatsoever - are in direct conflict with the use of the "jewlist" template, which states that this is "A list of Jews". That raises the question: A list of Jews by what standards? As far as I can tell, the answer would be none. The template should obviously go because it is false, misleading and absurdly redundant, but given the attachment of certian editors to its use (which I can't really understand), I won't edit war over its use:

What about 'Jewish scientists by date of birth'?
I've a feeling that there were rather few Jews involved in science in the 17th and 18th centuries, and the numbers expanded vastly some time in the 19th century. Splitting the birth years of the listed scientists by decade and century should show this (or else show it's not true).

This could be done manually, but it ought to be possible for someone to write a software engine that would do it a lot faster. Most of them have their year of birth as a category. I've no idea how to do this, but someone must.--GwydionM (talk) 17:38, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Maayan (magazine)

Maayan (in מעין) is an Israeli magazine for poetry, literature, art, and ideas. Its first issue appeared in 2005 and was named for Maayan Strauss.

History
Maayan is edited by Roy Arad and Joshua Simon. The magazine is a forum for poetry and art from Israel (Jewish and Arab) and beyond. From the opening statement of issue #1: "In its journey to the shelves, Maayans poetic proposal entails a risk: according to preconceived standards, it is not clear if it qualifies as poetry at all. Maayans poets write, like a child riding a tricycle through heavy traffic ..."

The second issue of Maayan was released in December 2005, and was twice as big. It included a film magazine Maarvon.

Maayan's fourth issue came out in March 2008. It featured over 300 pages and 40 new writers, making it 70 plus contributors all together with the visual artists. From vol. 3 opening arguments: "... In Maayan we apply the politics of first name. Maayan, bottom line, is a name of a girl. The state of the Israeli language and discourse today demands first name politics as opposed to metaphorical and hollow trademarks such not calling the summer "feud" between Israel and Lebanon what it was – a war, and calling Israel's ruling party Kadima and meaningless name instead of "The National Responsibility" as it was meant to be named, because of PR consideration. Maayan – for better and for worse hales for the concrete. The words in the magazine are not a mere shadow of the events, happenings and reality, they try to describe and tell what is, specifically as possible. The Bombing of the Gaza Strip, the 2006 Lebanon War and the disappointment from Amir Peretz are weaved and integrated throughout its pages."

Maayan is published in 4000 copies.

Maarvon
Maarvon (in Hebrew: מערבון) is a film supplement to Maayan edited by Joshua Simon.

The cover of the 1st issue was The World, film by Chinese director Jia Zhangke. The cover story of the 2nd issue was a shot from the 1971 marginalised film Punishment Park by Peter Watkins that followed an article by Amy Taubin on the film. Other articles were on the unique genre of Hotel Cinema – Israeli comedic films shot in the 70s in hotel rooms and lobbies by Yoni Raz Portugali, an article on Avi Mograbi's representation of suffering Palestinians in his self-representing works by Shmulik Duvdevani, and also Ramle one-held-hand made films by high school students by Nimrod Kamer and all together 20 articles. Maarvon and Maayan faces the middle east reality with several articles. In Maarvon #2 there a translation of an article on the Lebanese film Bosta – a precedent in feature films in the region made by local money rather than western.

Issue #1 of Maarvon dealt with Mon Tresor of Keren Yedaya, Jaffa in Menahem Golan movies, the Israeli gay cinema between Amos Guttman and Eytan Fox, after Good Boys (Yair Hochner), political telenovelas in Latin America, and Jia Zhangke movies.

Maarvon in Hebrew means western. A quote from its first issue opening statement:"for us films are not only themselves, but the entire discourse and culture that surrounds them."

The first article in Maarvon vol. 1 is called "A Certain Tendency in Israeli Cinema" by Joshua Simon, he examines Israeli cinema and the Aesthetics of feature films sponsored by film funds, a growing European and International trend of Peripheral Mainstream.

The New&Bad Magazine
The New&Bad Magazine (in Hebrew: החדש והרע) is an art magazine named after a quote of Bertolt Brecht "Don't start from the good old things but from the bad new ones". The magazine deals with the Israeli and international art scene. The editors are Natalie Levin, with Arad and Simon. The contributors are David Adika, Gil Shani, Fahed Halabi, Tamir Lichtenberg, Galia Yahav, Kochavit Kdoshim, Pesach Slabosky and many more.

Renowned contributors

 * Ari Libsker
 * Nimrod Kamer
 * Joshua Simon

Other activities
In June 2006 at the Minshar gallery in Tel Aviv, Maayan creators put on an exhibition named "Doron" (after CEO of O.R.S. human resources Doron Sabag – aka first names), which dealt with the relations of art and labour rights.

In March 2012, Maayan curators put on an exhibition named "Iran" in "Spaceship Gallery" against the war with Iran. The exhibition included a wax effigy of Ehud Barak called 'The Most Dangerous Person in the World', and a video about the Israeli Air Force attacking Poland today. The curators had to move Guy Briller's installation on the roof of the gallery, so it didn't look like a missile pointing at the neighbouring U.S. embassy.

In July 2007 Maayan Group representatives went to the Syrian Embassy in Amman in order to apply for a special Visa to Syria to promote peace between Israel and Syria.

Maayan Group, with Guerrilla Tarbut organization, held a joint poetry protest in order to support the "Coffee To Go" waitresses union. After a month-long strike the waitresses got their way and the university coffee branch decided to let them have their tips and workers rights, while keeping their job. Some of the poems were taken from recently published "Aduma" social poetry booklet, 2007. a same event happened in Polgat textile factory in Kiryat Gat after the closing of the factory, under Akirov Tower, the divisive residency of Ehud Barak, the Israeli defense minister, while 2008–2009 Israel–Gaza conflict and in support of the "science garden"'s workers at Weizmann Institute of Science in the city of Rehovot. Among the poets who protested were Aharon Shabtai, Eran Hadas, Mati Shemoelof, Yuval Ben-Ami and Yudit Shahar.

Iollas

Iollas or Iolaos (Greek: Ἰόλλας or Ἰόλαος; lived 4th century BC) was the son of Antipater and the brother of Cassander, king of Macedon. He was one of the royal youths who, according to the Macedonian custom, held offices about the king's person and was cup-bearer to Alexander the Great during the period of his last illness (323 BC).

For those commentators on Alexander's death who adopted the idea of the king having been poisoned, Iollas is considered to be the person who actually administered the fatal draught at the banquet given to Alexander by Medius, who, according to this story, was an intimate friend of Iollas, and had been induced by him to take part in the plot.

Plutarch wrote that this version of events was never heard of until six years after Alexander's death (317 BC), when Olympias availed herself of this as an excuse for the cruelties she exercised upon the friends and supporters of Antipater. By that time Iollas was already dead, but she instructed that his grave be opened and desecrated with every mark of indignity.

The date and nature of Iollas' death is not mentioned anywhere. The last he is heard of is in 322 BC, when he accompanied his sister Nicaea to Asia, where she was married to Perdiccas. Hyperides proposed that the marriage was a reward to Iollas for being the murderer of Alexander.

Dr. G.W. Williams Secondary School

Dr. G.W. Williams Secondary School is one of five high schools in Aurora, Ontario and is one of two under the jurisdiction of the York Region District School Board. In 2005, there were approximately 1350 students from Grades 9 to 12. In the 2017–2018 school year, enrolment was approximately 750 students.

History
The school started in 1888 as Aurora High School on the top floor of the Aurora Public School located at 22 Church Street. In 1892 they moved into a new purpose built building on Wells Street that would later become the Wells Street Public School after the High School moved to their current location on Dunning Avenue in 1952. Additions were placed on the Dunning Avenue school in 1956, 1967, and 1998. In 1961 the school was renamed The Dr. G. W. Williams Secondary School in honour of Dr. David Garnet Wolsley Williams, a local medical doctor and former trustee of the school board. Dr. G.W. Williams is one of the YRDSB's International Baccalaureate candidate schools.

Replacement school
In 2018, the Ontario Ministry of Education approved funding to replace the current Dr. G.W. Williams school building, and to build the replacement on a site approximately 3 km northeast of the current school's location. The new school is planned to open in 2025.

Talk:List of Jewish scientists and academic figures

I can't see the slightest point in this article. The List of Jewish scientists and philosophers is already quite long. This list may if anything be even longer, as it should contain all the scientists and most of the philosophers in the other article (though no doubt there are philosophers who are not academics) plus academic figures who are not scientists or philosophers, such as professors of English. Let's have a separate article just for the latter category. RachelBrown 16:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Lincoln's Revenge
According to WP:MUSIC; entirely non-notable. Delete. SoothingR 16:43, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * A band who not only have yet to release their debut album, but according to this are still practising for their first-ever live performance in a bar. Well...inasmuch as Guelph does have an especially notable indie rock scene, I see no evidence that these guys are currently a major part of it. Delete, with the proviso that it can come back if the boys' album, when it is finally released, ever actually does break out the way Guelph bands tend to. Bearcat 18:17, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Pace (transit)

Expand on the history
The history of Pace is way more than just a few sentences. If someone could dig up information from its starting date, and also put in info about any incidents Pace has had (bus robberies, car crashes, etc) would be awesome. Also put in some of the routes are free, and maybe a photo of a Pace Pulse bus. 107.0.37.3 (talk) 19:24, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

so many routes missing
The page only listed up to route 215 when I first saw it? This may be a bigger project to take on but the page may be worth splitting into a list if it gets too extensive Parallaxish (talk) 08:16, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
