WBER

WBER is a listener and school district supported community radio station in Rochester, New York, United States, owned and operated by the BOCES, Monroe #1. The station was founded in 1985. The call letters correspond to BOCES Educational Radio, with the pre-1985 call letters (WRHR) corresponding to Rush Henrietta Radio, the original licensee of the station (the Rush-Henrietta Central School District). The station's playlist is Alternative radio, with some new titles added to the regular rotation via a "test track," listener-reporting mechanism. WBER also presents local concerts by popular performers.

Pre-WBER history
As WRHR, the station was a student-run club operated out of the Rush Henrietta School District. The station was granted a low-power Class D license (10 watts) in 1975. The radio format was at first Top-40, and eventually included "alternative" music by bands such as the B-52's and Talking Heads. School board meetings were also broadcast on a tape-delayed basis. The school district provided support for students who broadcast live play-by-play basketball from schools within the local Section V scholastic athletic conference. In the first year of operation the Station Manager was Brad Landon, a High School Senior afflicted with muscular dystrophy, and Landon had the first show that was broadcast.

Partnership with Monroe BOCES
In 1985 WRHR was acquired by the Monroe BOCES #1 Technology Department, renamed WBER (effective March 2, 1987), and upgraded to 2,500 watts. Since that time WBER has been serving the Rochester, NY and Western New York area as a training ground for students and other members of the community interested in learning about radio broadcasting. Through the BOCES partnership, WBER programming originates in part from area school districts, including Fairport, Webster, and Brighton.

Talk:G. Harrold Carswell

Ambiguous wording
This ambiguous 'graph:
 * Carswell was convicted of battery, in 1976, after he was arrested for making advances to an undercover police officer in a Florida men's room, which has led to some to claim him as the first homosexual or bisexual nominated to the Supreme Court.

could be misinterpreted as describing his resisting arrest.

More likely, like a Johnson aide who subsequently resigned, he touched the ankle of the cop by reaching under the partition. This would be an unlawful trespass on the cop's person, but lacking assaultive intent. (At battery (crime), we have
 * Simple battery may include any form of non-consensual, harmful or insulting contact, regardless of the injury caused.)

I am eliminating the ambiguity, treating the interpretations involving more aggression as implausible in the absence of verification.

Regarding reversion 02 December 2007
I came across this article while participating in the Miltary History Assessment Drive and reverted a large block of text. It caught my eye 1) because it was a large block of text 2) because it begins with "To those deleting our information we say this". The text appears to be implicating the subject of the article in a murder; if you have reliable sources, fine, but this has none. I have no horse in this race (ie. I don't really care), but although this is not a biography of living persons issue, it seems a bad idea to introduce this material if it is unverifiable. Additionally, the way this text is currently written does not appear to be in-line with policies on neutral point-of-view or original research. This is an encyclopedia, not a place to present your opinion on something. If anyone would like to re-add this information (with sources), please feel free. -- Kateshort forbob  15:52, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

 * I endorse Kateshortforbob's deletion. It seems to me that the section claims to have sources, in the form of "official Court transcripts, trial records and sworn statements". However, there's no mention of specific documents, there's only the general assertion that sources exist. In addition, trial records are all primary sources. I agree with Kateshortforbob that this section seems to be original research. — Ksero (leave me a message, things I've done) 16:41, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Request for Comment: Information about crime
Is the text added by an editor in this diff appropriate? For more information:
 * My original explanation when removing the content is above (Regarding reversion 02 December 2007)
 * The editor's slightly different re-addition
 * The editor's first message on my talk, after his re-addition
 * My reply
 * Author's 2nd message
 * My reply to that message
 * Editor's most recent message.

(These links aren't essential to the request above, but they clarify what's happened so far. On a personal note, I've found the editor's accusations on my talk page fairly unpleasant.) Thanks -- Kateshort forbob  11:12, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

 * As I see it there are no sources for this lengthy and somewhat bizarre claim. I would ask Hazanian to find some reliable, preferably secondary, source for what he wants to add. I understand that there is a reference in John Dean's book about the nomination of William Rehnquist which explains how Carswell was homosexual but that the background checks made by the Nixon administration had not picked up on it. The rest of the claim would presumably have merited newspaper coverage if it had occurred as claimed. Sam Blacketer (talk) 23:49, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Caserta Palace

from User_talk:Tobias Conradi

Moving Caserta to Palace of Caserta
You've done the first part of your move. "What links here" will show you the links to Caserta that refer to Palace of Caserta. Let me know if you don't intend to clean up the redirects, and I'll do it myself. Thank you. --Wetman 17:48, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I did a move to Caserta Palace, please don't say "You have done the first part of your move", because my move was complete, i.e. I left no double redirect behind. Your wording implies that I would have been obliged to do more. thx.
 * FYI "What links here" does not only show links that refer to Caserta Palace but also links that refer to Caserta.
 * I don't see what you mean by "clean up the redirects"
 * I reverted your move from Caserta Palace to Palace of Caserta, because the former is the common form for palaces around the world that use the english term "palace" in the article title. -- Tobias Conradi (Talk) 20:07, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

A move that leaves all references to the Palace of Caserta redirected to the town is an incomplete move. And a discourtesy. Only someone with more confidence than grasp of nuance would have moved Palace of Caserta to Caserta Palace..." like other palaces around the world that use the english term "palace" in the title". Such as Versaillespalace and Louvrepalace, no doubt. --Wetman 16:34, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * There was a page "Caserta" that had links pointing to it. Some of them referred to the town and others referred to the palace. Since the article was about the palace and there is actually a town and a province with the name Caserta I moved this palace-article to a palace page and started the town page. The move itself was complete (no double redirects left behind). Someone who moves a page is not obliged to fix all links in the whole wikipedia. The whole wikipedia is incomplete, so maybe you just continue to work instead of intrudocing others what they have to do and what not. Why didn't you just fix the links?
 * you still did not explain what you meant by clean up redirects. It was like accusing me of leaving some "unclean" redirects behind.
 * about "X Palace" vs "Palace of X": if you would have read more carefully you maybe would have seen that I did refer to articles that have the term "palace" in the title. Louvere does not have this. Meantioning an exception like "Palace of Versailles" does nothing about the sentence I wrote. "X Palace" is the common form in wikipedia for article titles, that's nothing about how it could be used in the article itself. You may point your favorite browser to Category:Palaces and its subcategories to learn more about palace article names.
 * wikipidia is a project undertaken by many people. If you discover an error you can fix it. Someone fixed the interwiki links behind me. Everybody does a little part.
 * Tobias Conradi (Talk) 19:42, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Why is this page at Caserta Palace? - it should be "Palace of Caserta", or even just "Caserta" or "Reggia di Caserta". Caserta Palace sounds like a colorful hotel with casino attached in Las Vegas. I shall move to "Palace of Caserta" if no-one comments within a week. Giano | talk 15:56, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * it's at Caserta Palace, because Caserta is a town. It is not "Reggia di Caserta" because at least one person thought it should be translated into the language of this Wikipedia, i.e. to help the reader guess from the article (name [forgot this word]) what the thing is about. The italian name is in first line. It is not "Palace of Caserta" because that's the way it is done for most things in Category:Palaces that use the word "palace" in the title. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 18:42, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Please do not adopt that patronising tone when addressing me. There are no hard and fast rules on this subject; as I seem to recall was proved when we had the debacle over Province of X versus X Province  I seem to remember that as far as Italy was concerned Province of X won fair and square (as the English say).  Regarding other places I would certainly say Palace of Versailles, who has ever said "Versailles Palace".  I think because your nation sticks "Schloss" in front of most things - regardless of age and design,  you feel the same applies here.  It does not - as you well know.  Giano | talk 20:01, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * ? - debacle? patronising tone? You cried for help (See your first sentence on this page - so I tried to explain the reasons to you). Tobias Conradi (Talk) 11:05, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * "Palace of Caserta", "Buckingham Palace", "Drottningholm" (without "palace", even though it is one). It's simply a question of familiarity with educated usage. Being tone-deaf is no excuse. --Wetman 21:34, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * of course you can have it without "palace" - but if it is ambigous you have to find a solution. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 11:05, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Is this correct
I am unhappy with this statement: "Of all the royal residences inspired by the Palace of Versailles, the Reggia of Caserta is the one bearing the greatest resemblance to the original model" is this comment sourced. I can think of several which are (IMO) closer to Versailles, the most obvious imitation being Herrenchiemsee. I won't remove it, but I would like it to be referenced. In my view the Baroque of Versailles and Caserta are widely different. Giano | talk 21:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Sono un cittadino di Caserta. La nostra Reggia è una delle più belle costruzioni esistenti al mondo. Per ampiezza del parco, per la bellezza delle cascate e per lo stupendo giardino "inglese" ritengo sia superiore alla Reggia di Versailles. Dovrebbe essere maggiormente evidenziata come punto di riferimento per le visite dei turisti e per la storia dei Borboni.81.208.83.244 15:04, 27 January 2007 (UTC)Sergio Frascatore

Doubtful, POV paragraph
I've in the end decided to remove the following paragraph: "The kingdom of Naples was neither powerful nor prosperous when Caserta was built, and it has been unflatteringly described by the historian Edward Crankshaw as 'a colossal monument to minuscule glory' and a reviewer of George Hersey, Architecture, Poetry, and Number in the Royal Palace at Caserta, found that 'interpretive description is palsied by monotony, the principal quality of the palace and its garden."

It looks like POV, and of old-fashioned storiography. I'm not a fan of the Kingdom of Naples, nor of the "sudists" revisionists who are recently trying to revise Risorgimento as a colonization of a richer south of Italy from the avid Piedmontese. Not because the latter weren't, but because probably Kingdom of Naples was not that developed country that they want to convice us it was, just because it was the first Italian country to havew a railway (5 km long!!!!). IMHO, it was little more developed the the Papal States, which, in the 19th century, was the most underdeveloped and medieval in the whole Europe. Notice that the Kingdom of Naples had abolished feudalism only in 1805, and only for it was under a Napoleonic-French king. --Attilios 10:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

 * The kingdom of Naples was neither powerful nor prosperous when Caserta was built. Removing quotes of published historians because one doesn't like them, while retaining a jejune and inaccurate assertion like It is inspired by the park of Versailles, but it is commonly regarded as superior in beauty, takes a certain kind of self-confidence.--Wetman (talk) 12:03, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Provost (religion)

A provost is a senior official in a number of Christian churches.

Historical development
The word praepositus (Latin for 'set over', from praeponere, 'to place in front') was originally applied to any ecclesiastical ruler or dignitary. It was soon more specifically applied to the immediate subordinate to the abbot of a monastery, or to the superior of a single cell, and it was defined as such in the Rule of St Benedict. The dean (decanus) was a similarly ranked official. Chrodegang of Metz adopted this usage from the Benedictines when he introduced the monastic organization of canon-law colleges, especially cathedral capitular colleges. The provostship (praepositura) was normally held by the archdeacon, while the office of dean was held by the archpriest. In many colleges, the temporal duties of the archdeacons made it impossible for them to fulfil those of the provostship, and the headship of the chapter thus fell to the dean.

The title became prevost in Old French, before being adopted as provost in English. Prévôt is the equivalent in modern French.

Denmark, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden
In the Nordic countries, a provost (Danish and older Norwegian provst, modern Norwegian prost, Swedish prost (under the current system kontraktsprost), Icelandic prófastur (from the Old English prōfast), Finnish rovasti) is the leader of a provsti (Nor. prosti, Ice. prófastsdæmi, Swe. kontrakt), an administrative territorial unit within the Lutheran national churches which comprises several parishes (sogn, Ice. sókn, Swe. församling (previously socken)), comparable to a Catholic deanery. The provost is the immediate superior of the parish priest (Da. sognepræst, Nor. sogneprest, Ice. sóknarprestur, Swe. församlingspräst) but is normally also a parish priest in one of the local parishes. Several provstier form a diocese (stift (all languages) or bispedømme, Ice. biskupsdæmi, Swe. biskopsdöme).

Until the 19th century the parishes were not only religious districts, but also the core territorial units in the state administration, and the modern municipalities were based upon them; in the same way that the parish priest was normally the foremost government official in most parishes (corresponding to the modern municipalities), the provost was not only a regional religious leader, but one of the highest-ranking government officials within a larger region comprising multiple parishes, in many cases arguably the highest-ranking government official alongside the governor. In the church hierarchy in Denmark and Norway the rank of provost was broadly comparable to the secular rank of governor (amtmand), while the higher rank of bishop corresponded to stiftamtmand (governor of a larger region traditionally based on a diocese or stift).

Germany
While the modern spelling is Propst, in an historical context the spelling Probst may also occur. Historically, the title is also found among military chaplains, both Roman Catholic and Protestant (e.g. Feldpropst in Prussia).

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Northern Germany uses the title Propst for pastors who are the leaders of a church district (Propstei).

Poland
The Polish derivative proboszcz is the official title denoting a head of a parish (a parish priest, rector, parson or pastor), either Catholic, Orthodox, or Lutheran.

Anglicanism
In England, the title of provost in cathedrals was almost completely replaced by that of dean, although sometimes when a bishop nominated himself as dean of his own cathedral, a provost was appointed as his deputy.

In cathedrals which were also parish churches; however, especially the newly created cathedrals of the 19th and 20th centuries, the senior priest (who was also the parish priest) continued to be known as the provost. This title was used by the head priests of Birmingham Cathedral, Blackburn Cathedral, Bradford Cathedral, Chelmsford Cathedral, Coventry Cathedral, Derby Cathedral, Leicester Cathedral, Newcastle Cathedral, Portsmouth Cathedral, St. Edmundsbury Cathedral, Sheffield Cathedral, Southwark Cathedral, Southwell Minster, and Wakefield Cathedral, but all were redesignated deans in 2000.

In the Scottish Episcopal Church the leading priests of the cathedrals, with the exception of the Cathedral of The Isles on Cumbrae, continue to be called provosts.

The usage is preserved in the title of the heads of some colleges in England formerly administered by the Church.

Lutheran and Reformed churches
After the Protestant Reformation, usually following pre-Reformation traditional usage, and in connexion with certain churches, some Protestant pastors bore the title of provost. In these cases it was merely an honorific rank, without any special place in the church hierarchy. Such usage occurred, for example, in the Evangelical Church of the old-Prussian Union and its successor Evangelical Church in Berlin-Brandenburg.

In certain Landeskirchen within the Evangelical Church in Germany, the title is still used for a pastor officiating as chairperson in a provostry (e.g. in the Lutheran Evangelical Lutheran State Church in Brunswick, Evangelical Lutheran State Church of Mecklenburg and in the united Evangelical Church in Hesse and Nassau, and the Evangelical Church of the Church Province of Saxony). In the above-mentioned Lutheran churches, a provostry is equal to a deanery, and, in the two united churches, it is a unit comprising several deaneries.

Moreover, in the united Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia, the provost is the theological leader of the consistory.

Catholic Church
In the Catholic Church, Provost is a title of a prelate, with a rank equivalent to that of a bishop.

In a society of apostolic life such as an Oratory of St Philip Neri, the provost is the major religious superior of his particular oratory. It is customary among Oratorians to call the provost "THE father" as he is primus inter pares, and a father in the place of the founder, Philip Neri. In some dioceses it may be an honorary title given to senior priests, while in others it may be granted to vicars in charge of coordinating the pastoral care in a portion of territory and with a certain authority over the parish priests who fall under that particular jurisdiction.

In Germany, the heads of certain chapters under the Catholic Church are still known as provosts (German: probst or propst), while propstei or propstei(pfarr)gemeinde is an honorary designation for some important, old Roman Catholic churches in Germany; most honorary titles date back to the 20th century. Parish priests who are provosts have the privilege of wearing a prelate's dress (black-purple) and using a pectoral cross hung by a ribbon.

Archdiocese of Milan
In the Archdiocese of Milan, the figure of the provost has historically been an important office in the administration of the archdiocese.

The earliest documented testimonies of praepositi date back to the 12th century and refer not only to the city of Milan, but above all to the rest of Lombardy which belonged to the Ambrosian diocese: the provosts were in fact the head of the parishes that constituted the territory of the Duchy of Milan. One of the most important prepositural offices, for example, is that of Lecco, which in the past was a very important strategic position for commercial traffic with northern Europe and for the military defense of the duchy.

The provosts were based in the  of cities and officiated in the main church of the city; as with the rest of the archdiocese, they followed the Ambrosian Rite for the celebration of the liturgy (except in parishes which for historical reasons followed the Aquileian Rite). In some historical periods they were directly appointed by the papal curia.

They also had the right to appoint the canons of their colleges and to assign for the benefit of the rents of land owned by their parish. Moreover, within the territory of their competence, they established vicariates entrusted to other priests which later revolved into rural parishes.

In the case of the provosts without ecclesiastical jurisdiction over a territory, these were mainly located in the city of Milan where they were placed at the head of the oldest or most outstanding basilicas of the city. Since the provost also had the role of prefect of the chapter, the Milan cathedral also had its own provost.

Following a diocesan synod presided over by Cardinal Giovanni Colombo in 1972, the pievi were suppressed, and the title of provost became as an exclusively honorary title preserved within the archdiocese to be granted to distinguished parish priests.

Monasteries and religious houses
The heads of Augustinian and Dominican friaries are termed "provost or prior" (praepositus vel prior), and those of Cistercian monasteries "provost or warden" (praepositus vel custos). The superiors of the oratory are also known as provosts, as noted above.

Religious orders
In some religious orders, especially those under the patronage of royalty or nobility, the ecclesial management of the order is placed under the jurisdiction of a provost.

James Maclaren

James Maclaren (March 19, 1818 – February 10, 1892) was an early settler and entrepreneur in western Quebec.

Maclaren was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1818. He came to Richmond in Upper Canada with his family in 1822. The family then settled in Torobolton Township and then moved to Wakefield in Lower Canada in the 1840s. Maclaren and his brother David opened a general store, grist mill, woollen mill and brick plant in Wakefield. James also became involved in the timber trade.

In 1853, Maclaren leased a sawmill in New Edinburgh from Thomas McKay with partners including Moss Kent Dickinson and Joseph Merrill Currier. By 1861, he was able to buy out his partners and, in 1866, he purchased the mills after McKay's death. In 1864, again with partners, he bought sawmills at Buckingham, later buying out his partners.

Maclaren also helped found the Hull Iron Company in 1880, the North Pacific Lumber Company of British Columbia in 1889, and the Bank of Ottawa, later merged with Scotiabank, in 1874. MacLaren also had business interests in Vermont, Massachusetts, and Michigan.

Maclaren died in Buckingham in 1892.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Selman. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Selman~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.

Willem de Mérode

Willem de Mérode (September 2, 1887 in Spijk – May 22, 1939 in Eerbeek) was the pseudonym of the  Dutch poet, Willem Eduard Keuning.

Biography
Willem Eduard Keuning was born in the Netherlands on 2 September 1887, at Spijk (Groningen). He started writing at the age of fifteen.

Between 1907 and 1924 he was a teacher at the primary school in Uithuizermeeden. He was a subtle man, deeply religious. He explored many genres of writing, using a different pseudonym for every style. He wrote over 2,300 poems, but didn't publish all of them. His homosexuality made him controversial, especially in his religious environment.

In 1924 he was accused of sexual misconduct with a boy of 16 whom he knew from the school where he taught. In those days heterosexual contact between adults and minors as from 16 years was allowed, however homosexual contact in that context was not (Hans Hafkamp). The authorities of provence Groningen convicted him and he served 8 months in jail in 1924 as a result. In addition he was not allowed to practise his job as a teacher for 3 years. The boy concerned had not accused De Mérode. He and his parents stayed friends with De Mérode their whole life. The prison time hurt him deeply and afterwards he withdrew to Eerbeek and lived his life almost as a recluse. Nevertheless, he wrote his best work during and after his sentence. Willem de Mérode loved to travel and see art. He visited several cities, amongst them Paris, Rome, Venice and München. However, travelling was very demanding for him as he was always wrestling with his health.

In 1939, after a poetic mood during which he wrote over 70 poems, he became ill and on 22 May he died. Willem de Merode/Willem Eduard Keuning is buried in Eerbeek, a small village in the middle of the Netherlands, where he spent most of his years after his devastating prison time.

André Maranne

André Maranne (14 May 1926 – 12 April 2021) was a French-born British actor best known for playing roles in English-language films beginning in the mid-1950s.

Life and career
Born André Gaston Maillol in Toulouse, France, Maranne's best known role was probably Sergeant François Chevalier in six Pink Panther films alongside Peter Sellers and Herbert Lom. Before the Pink Panther, he appeared as a French officer in The War Lover (1962) and had a cameo role in the James Bond movie Thunderball (1965).

He appeared in such diverse television programmes as Merton Park Studios' Scotland Yard (as a gendarme in 1956 episode "Wall of Death" and credited as André Maillol & the 1957 episode "Night Crossing" as Detective Nouvel credited as Andre Maranne), Jason King ("Wanna buy a television series?", 1971), Fawlty Towers (as André in the 1975 "Gourmet Night" episode), Lord Peter Wimsey ("Clouds of Witness", 1972), Yes Minister (as European Agricultural Commissioner Maurice, proponent of the "euro-sausage", in "Party Games", 1984, the episode in which Jim Hacker becomes UK Prime Minister), All Creatures Great and Small and Doctor Who (The Moonbase, 1967).

Maranne was also one of the four co-presenters of the French teaching programme, Bonjour Françoise on the BBC in the 1960s; he acted in all eight episodes of La Chasse au Trésor (1967) as well as all 24 episodes of Ensemble-French for Beginners in the 1970s, also for the BBC. Maranne provided English audio translation of French-speaking interviewees in the 1988 ITV documentary The Men Who Killed Kennedy.

Maranne died 12 April 2021 in Brighton, England at the age of 94. He was survived by his wife, Moira.

Aydın Doğan

Aydın Doğan (born 15 April 1936) is a Turkish business magnate and investor. He is the founder of Doğan Holding, one of Turkey's largest conglomerates.

Biography
Born in 1936 as a member of a well-known family in Kelkit. Doğan went to elementary and secondary school in Kelkit and finished high-school in Erzincan. Between 1956 and 1960, he attended Istanbul Economy and Commerce Academy (later to become Marmara University). There, he became the Student Community Leader.

In 1959, he registered his business at the Mecidiyekoy Tax Office and started his professional life trading construction equipment, as well as passenger and other commercial vehicles.

Doğan founded his first industrial company in 1974 and joined both the Assembly and the Administrative Board of the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce. In the years that followed, he served as a board member in the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey.

Out of a small company with just three employees in 1961, he created one of Turkey's top conglomerates with over 13,000 direct employees and an additional 12,000 employment through companies servicing the businesses of Doğan Holding.

Doğan Holding became a publisher with the acquisition of the daily newspaper Milliyet in 1979. With the addition of the prestigious daily newspaper Hurriyet in 1994, he intensified his presence in the media. Between 1986 and 1996, he served as the head of the Association of Turkish Newspaper Publishers. In 2004, Doğan became the first elected Turkish Deputy Chairperson of World Association of Newspapers (WAN).

The Doğan Media Holding he founded incorporates the newspapers Posta, Hürriyet, Radikal, Fanatik and Turkish Daily News, and 21 TV channels in Turkey and abroad.

Doğan Holding is active in the fields of energy, media, industry, trade and tourism. In 2016, Doğan Holding generated a profit of US$310 million and it's the biggest collector of advertising revenue in media in Turkey.

Doğan Holding is a public company quoted in Istanbul Stock Exchange. Its ticker symbol is DOHOL.

Tax investigation
In 2009, the Ministry of Finance charged a tax fine in amount of about 3.8 billion Turkish lira (approx. US$2.53 billion) on some companies within the Doğan Media Holding.

Doğan Holding claimed that the decision to impose a tax fine to the group was based on "subjective" evaluations. They argued that if similar fines were to be imposed on other companies on similar grounds, all the share transactions in Turkey could easily be subjected to the same treatment and fined by the tax authorities. And since that was not the case and it was only Dogan Group that was penalized by the Ministry of Finance, the case was politically motivated, they implied.

This implication was voiced strongly by the spokespersons of international bodies like the European Union, while the issue became a priority item in Turkish political agenda.

Doğan Holding held negotiations with the Ministry of Finance in line with the existing legislation. An agreement was concluded and in October 2012, Doğan paid the remainder of the agreed fine earlier than scheduled and thus resolved the tax issue completely.

After 1977 until 2009, Aydın Doğan personally has been the top taxpayer registered with the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce, either in Istanbul or in overall Turkey. He always equated patriotism with proper declaration and prompt payment of taxes.

Personal life
Doğan retired as head of Doğan Holding on 1 January 2010, handing over his post to his daughter, Arzuhan Doğan Yalçındağ, who was chairperson of the TV channel Kanal D and who also serves as head of the Turkish Industrialists' and Businessmen's Association (TÜSİAD), an association for businesspeople in Turkey. Currently Begümhan Doğan Faralyalı is the Chairwoman of Doğan Holding. Aydın Doğan continues to be the honorary president of the holding firm.

Doğan, with $1 billion net worth, is one of the richest people in Turkey. He is married to Sema Doğan, and has four children and seven grandchildren.

All of his daughters actively take part in the running of Doğan Holding businesses both public and private as Chairwomen of respective boards.

Awards
In 1999, Doğan was awarded Turkey's Outstanding Service Medal by the Turkish Government. He received four honorary doctorates in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2005 respectively from Girne American University, Ege University, Baku State University and Marmara University.

Santa Anita Derby

The Santa Anita Derby is an American Grade 1 thoroughbred horse race for three-year-olds run each April at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. It is currently run at a distance of $1 1/8$ miles on the dirt and carries a purse of US$750,000. It is one of the final prep races on the official Road to the Kentucky Derby.

History
Inaugurated in 1935, the Santa Anita Derby has long been considered the most important West Coast stepping-stone to the Kentucky Derby. Since 2013, it has been part of the official Road to the Kentucky Derby, offering the winner 100 points and thus assuring a position in the starting gate. Since its inception, ten Santa Anita Derby winners have gone on to win the Kentucky Derby (shown in bold in the Winners section below), plus seven horses who lost at Santa Anita went on to triumph in Kentucky. In 1988, Winning Colors became the first and to date only filly to win both Derbies. Santa Anita Derby winners have also been successful in other Triple Crown races, with Affirmed sweeping the series in 1978.

Now run at a distance of $1 1/8$ miles (9 Furlongs), for the first three years it was run at $1 1/8$ miles, and at $1 1/16$ miles in 1947. Until 2008, the race had been run on a natural dirt surface. The race has been contested on Cushion Track (2008) and Pro-Ride (2009 & 2010) artificial surfaces. In 2011, the race returned to dirt.

In 1938, Stagehand became the only colt to win both the Santa Anita Derby and the Santa Anita Handicap in the same year, defeating eventual Horse of the Year Seabiscuit in the latter.

Prep races leading to the Santa Anita Derby include the San Rafael Stakes, San Miguel Stakes, Sham Stakes, San Vicente Stakes, San Pedro Stakes, the Robert B. Lewis Stakes and the San Felipe Stakes, all run at Santa Anita Park. The Sham, Robert Lewis and San Felipe are also on the Road to the Kentucky Derby.

As a result of World War II, there were no races held from 1942 to 1944. The 2020 race was held on Saturday June 6 due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Talk:Leif Erikson Day

Trivia
Why in the world does this page talk about an obscure reference to this holiday in one episode of a cartoon series? I'm moving this reference here.
 * Maybe re-word and re-add it under "References in Popular Culture". And add a link to the particular episode, "Bubble Buddy". 209.226.132.74 06:29, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Leif Erikson Day in Spongebob
Spongebob Squarepants uses Leif Erikson Day in a note to Patrick Star. The note reads, "Hey everybody!!!! It's Leif Ericson Day!!!!! HINGA DINGA DURGEN!!!!!!!!"

 * Actually, it's a note FROM Patrick left to his friend SpongeBob. "Dear SpongeBob, Went to get more giant paper. Uhhhh, Patrick. PS, Happy Leif Erikson Day! Hinga dinga durgen!" Cleveland Rock 20:23, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Patrick's note did not say "Hinga Dinga Durgen". Spongebob did. Patrick accidentally said "Yerga Hinger Dinger". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FCC8:BE92:F000:7DAD:AEF9:F970:540D (talk) 20:46, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

 * It shouldn't be added, because there is no proof that it has anything to do with the actual holiday. e ST e MSHORN (T/C) 11:51, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Certainly no reliable, independent source has been presented that this is a notable aspect of Leif Erikson Day. And if the articles on other holidays and observances included every minor mention in a cartoon, they would be flooded with trivia. Jonathunder (talk) 18:30, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

It should (should) be noted that the NARRator said it was a made (up) holiday. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.217.20.22 (talk) 04:08, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

according to this https://web.archive.org/web/20110124022407/http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/presidential-proclamation-leif-erikson-day it was declared a us holiday in 2009, yet spongebob did s02e06 in 2000-2001 ish.

 * As the history section of this article shows, it's been a holiday for nearly a century now in some U.S. states, yet every year someone who learned history from a children's cartoon wants to add some silly SpongeBob bit. Per POPCULTURE, if that's significant, provide some third-party sources saying so. Otherwise, it's not spongeworthy. Jonathunder (talk) 20:44, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Controversy
do you guys think that hinga dinga durgen comment is like lowkey offensive or what — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.216.41.38 (talk) 21:07, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

so why exactly is there even a controversy page on here? it only references Donald Trump's one instance where he retroactively declared it the next day. that hardly seems controversial, let alone relevant to the holiday itself. Other editors say that the citations shown are the controversy sources, but those are merely the official proclamations for the holiday, which are all dated for Oct 9th and don't mention any sort of controversy69.224.107.100 (talk) 20:14, 18 October 2017 (UTC)69.224.107.100 (talk) 21:18, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Misspelling
Erikson is really spelled Ericsson This should be changed....imho Interpolarity 13:41, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * "Leif Erikson Day" is spelled exactly as it is in the federal law and presidential proclamation establishing the day. As for Erikson, there is more than one spelling, and this is the most common in connection with this day. Jonathunder 13:52, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Erikson has to be spelled with two "s", "Eriksson". It cannot be spelled with a "c". The rest of the spelling varies with time and place, but there is ALWAYS two s, because the first is the genitive (Erik's) and the second is the first letter in the word "son" (same meaning as in English). I therefore propose that the article title is correct because the name is misspelled in the U.S. law, but that we in the article text itself spell his name with two s's (not a double s, mind you, that is a separate letter in German). Dr Ulf Erlingsson (talk) 11:49, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Why are people arguing over how it's spelled? How it's spelled in the cartoon should be how it is spelled in the Wikipedia article, as that's what we're talking about. --67.142.112.132 (talk) 02:28, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Ericsson and Vinland
According to me, it would not be bad to add more lines about Vinland. I have found: "While the map has been radiocarbon-dated to between 1423 and 1445, it appears to have been coated with an unknown substance in the 1950s. This could be an undocumented attempt at preservation, or it could be part of a forger’s attempt to draw a new map over an old one. It’s unclear whether this substance is over or under some of the ink on the page… The ink itself has been chemically analysed, and dated to after 1923 due to the presence of anatase – a synthetic pigment in use only since the 1920s. Natural anatase has been demonstrated in various Mediaeval manuscripts, though. As for the content of the map, a number of questions challenge the age of the document. Greenland is presented as an island – a fact not physically proven until the turn of the 20th century and unknown to the Vikings, who mostly thought it a peninsula descending from the north. Several passages in the text are equally anomalous. Finally, the best argument against the map’s veracity seems to be that the Vikings were such good seafarers that they didn’t use nautical maps at all…" tommy 17:22, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This is an article about Leif Erikson Day, not about theories on Viking exploration. Jonathunder 14:44, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Date
Leif Erikson/Eriksson/etc. Day is the day before Columbus Day--that's the point. Since Columbus Day was made to be a Monday holiday, L.E. Day will always be a Sunday. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18E:C500:72A6:A93F:B582:8EE:4EED (talk) 01:46, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * That's probably why they made it October 9, which in 2017 falls on a Monday, making Columbus Day and Leif Erikson Day the same day. "The date was chosen because the ship Restauration coming from Stavanger, Norway, arrived in New York Harbor on October 9, 1825, at the start of the first organized immigration from Norway ..." a fortunate coincidence. 162.89.0.47 (talk) 21:33, 9 October 2017 (UTC) Eric

I stand corrected, October 9 it is. But I still wish the version I had heard had been true: the day before Columbus Day would have had more sting.
 * There may be some truth to that. Leif Erikson Day has often been contrasted with Columbus Day, especially when it was a new observance. Jonathunder (talk) 20:43, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Why Minnesota?
On the page's infobox, it says the holiday "is observed by United States, Canada, Iceland, Minnesota, other places with Nordic communities."

Gotō Mototsugu

Gotō Mototsugu (後藤 基次), also well known as Gotō Matabei (後藤 又兵衛), was a samurai of the late Sengoku through early Edo periods. He served Kuroda Yoshitaka but retired from the Kuroda clan after Kuroda Yoshitaku had died. Finally, he served Toyotomi Hideyori and Yodo-dono and was killed at the battle of Dōmyōji during the siege of Osaka in 1615.

His father Gotō Motokuni served Kodera Masamoto. But Motokuni was dead when Matabei was a child. After his father's death, Matabei became a vassal of Kuroda Kanbei.

At the Second Siege of Jinju, during Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea, Gotō was the first samurai to enter Jinju castle.

During the Siege of Osaka, Gotō was one of the most able and fierce generals in Toyotomi Hideyori's Army. He was the chief commander at the battle of Dōmyōji where, severely outnumbered by Date Masamune troops, he held out for reinforcements, which were lost in the fog. Unable to maintain the position without the reinforcements, Mototsugu was harmed by a stray bullet and unable to stand, he practiced seppuku. It is said in his kaishaku memoir that he couldn't stop his tears.

After his death, Mototsugu's samurai were easily defeated and his head discovered by enemy forces. History said that his display of valor this day was great enough to shock everyone, allies and enemies : leading his warriors in hit & run tactics, he killed 70 to 80 horse-men by himself. He stopped only because his horse was exhausted and he needed another to continue the fight.

In popular culture

 * Kojiki Taishō Gotō Matabei is a novel by Jirō Osaragi.
 * Goto Mototsugu is a playable character in video game Sengoku Basara 4 ( PS3 ).
 * He appears in Manga " Sengoku Tenshoki ".
 * He appears in Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence Ascension in the battle of Dōmyōji and other battles in the Siege Of Osaka Castle. It is possible to save him and change history.

Talk:Tactical air navigation system

TACAN Background
08 October 2005

TACANs are accurate and TACANs are better than VHF Omni-range navigation systems in distance, precision, and reliability. One limiting factor to TACAN accuracy are the reflections of the surrounding area, such as mountains, terrain, or buildings. Each TACAN is certified for a specific capability and range and is expected to stay within these parameters for the life of the machine. The purpose of the TACAN is specific, point to point navigation, verifying the calibration of aircraft navigation systems at a mark on the airfield, and finding an airfield despite any inclement weather. In the early days of air navigation pilots might follow roads, road maps, and well known landmarks that do look different from the air. During the 1930s when the Army Air Corps lost about thirty percent of its aircraft due to navigation problems of bad weather in a single year while under supervision of the United States Army Air Corps Pilot Benjamin D. Foulis (who was a pilot and captain for the first United States air war for the invasion of Mexico during the Mexican Revolution); the United States proceeded to introduce better navigation, and the TACAN system was one result for better navigation. TACANs were created for pilot safety, so the air fields can be found despite any weather condition, and then other navigation systems at the radio located air fields can be used such as ILS ( Instrument Landing System).

Russian / Non-NATO TACAN systems
I'm certain TACAN is used by most NATO countries, but I'm not sure about other countries. From a quick google search I've found some pages that indicate some former Soviet Union ships had systems either identical or similar to TACAN. These systems were code named 'Cake Stand' and 'Round House' by NATO. Nothing really suitable for a reference though. Anyone out there have a link to something comparing TACAN with Round House and Cake Stand? --Dual Freq 00:54, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Based on google searches, RSBN appears to be a system that is similar to TACAN as well. --Dual Freq 15:12, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

 * From RANTEC sales page, "Antennas built by Rantec are currently in use by the U.S. military, by most free-world military forces, by the FAA and by many other civilian aviation authorities worldwide." That seems to indicate more than US usage. I added NATO to try to indicate this was not a US only system, maybe the intro para should say something like most military and worldwide civil aviation. I think these were in former Soviet states as well as East Germany, so this doesn't seem like a US only system. Any opinions? --Dual Freq 12:17, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

TACAN was developed by the US (Rome Labs) during the early cold war period (USAF approval Feb-Mar 1956) as a more precise navigation system than the earlier VOR (VHF Omni-Range). Like all technology, it was eventually "adopted" by many nations with a need for accurate navigational aids. The code names referred to above sound much like VOR facility (a round facility resembling a cake stand)131.15.48.59 21:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I guess I should have elaborated, the Round House and Cake Stand are shipboard systems normally found in pairs on Soviet / Russian ships. This link has pictures and describes Round House as TACAN, but I was looking for more info than where the antennas are located. I was wondering if they are the same as TACAN or if they simply do the same thing, provide range bearing, but are incompatible with TACAN. This 4 MB image is a US DOD image of an Udaloy cruiser, the "Round House" antennas are the white antennas in the top-middle of the image. I guess it's a mute point as the article now says used by military aircraft. Maybe the next question should be can you buy a civil tacan receiver that displays range and bearing? If so maybe the military part can be removed. --Dual Freq 00:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Will happen on the 30th of February.
> Like all other forms of ground-based aircraft radio navigation currently used, it is likely that TACAN will be replaced by some form of space based navigational system such as GPS.

This is one very unlikely auguration in the article, because ground-based GPS jammer emitters, space warfare anti-satellite missiles or cyber-hacking attacks against GPS satellite control centers could create a single point of failure. (Not to mention the possibility of the Sun suddenly ejecting a few tens of billion metric tons of corona some day, complete with an EMP that fries sats faster than KFC fries chickens.)

As long as every major airport has its own radio-based landing aid system on its own soil, it is much more difficult for the chinese/russians/iranians/sun-worshippers to achieve an "all imperialist airplanes fall out of the sky" day.

Major airport operators of all countries would have to be exceptionally stupid or dazzled by cost-saving / profit-maximizing promises to make radio landing aids located on their own grass redundant. 91.82.38.209 (talk) 21:21, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Travesti (theatre)

Comment
While unfamiliar with the series, I cannot see any clear relationship, based on the article's contents, between En travesti and 3rd Rock From The Sun, so I've removed the link.

Order of sections
Assuming that we have the page divided by gender at all (and that does make sense for this topic), I think that we should have men in female roles first, since it reads better —more chronologically— that way. In particular, the section on women in male roles makes reference to the castrati that are introduced in the other section. At the very least, this should be rewritten if we keep the other order, but I'll be bold and move things to how I think that they should be. (Also I'll swap the sides of the pictures, so that they won't intefere with each other or the gallery on wide screens.) —Toby Bartels (talk) 01:51, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Travesti?
I'm not sure that this page move was the best one, and the added etmology section is very odd. "Travesti" is not "real Italian". The Italian word for "in disguise" or "disguised" and the past participle of "travestire" is "travestito". Furthermore at least one of the new sources added (The Oxford Dictionary of Opera) specifically says it is of French origin, i.e. the past partciple of the French verb "travestir" as does the OED for the word "travesty" (in all its senses). Can someone please quote from a reliable source which specifically says that "travesty", especially in the sense used in this article is derived from the Italian? When "travesti" in the theatrical sense is used in Italian, it is treated as a foreign word. Note that the Italian Wikipedia also treats travesti as a foreign term and gives prominence in the lede to "en travesti". . The addition of "en" is the only pseudo-French part and regardless of how the term "en travesti" arose, the term itself is not "pseudo". It is widely used in Italian. Note also how widely used it is in English sources and in French ones  Voceditenore (talk) 06:49, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

 * In light of my comments above, I have re-written the lede to give greater prominence to the other forms of the word and especially "en travesti", which many readers will be specifically looking for. In addition to wide usage of "en travesti" in English, Italian, and French, it also appears in German sources. I also removed the assertion that the word is of Italian origin pending a reliable source which specifically states this. Voceditenore (talk) 07:15, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Hmm. I see the sentence "Some sources regard 'travesti' as an Italian term, some as French. " has been removed. However it is factually accurate and it was referenced.

 * Julian Budden (in Grove Opera) and Michael Kennedy (in Oxford Music) both say that 'Travesti' is Italian (in contrast to Oxford Opera). Voceditenore can check this herself. If she knows better than them, that's fine by me. Just go ahead and give the information and sources - in the article, not the talk page! However the sentence that was removed was factually accurate - and it was referenced as a whole.  (Also note that 'en travesti' is a redirect so anyone who searches for it will find it.) The so-called 'pseudo-French part' (an older part of the article) was also referenced. It may be right, it may not be, but it's in the book.

 * The reason I put the etymology in its own section was to highlight the lack of agreement about origins. I thought it could be developed later with OED info. etc. However putting it in the lead is no problem. Anyway - when all is said and done - this is a tricky subject. Please let's assume a modicum of good faith! -- Klein  zach  08:18, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Actually, I was adding the sources as you were writing this. I have restored the sentence since you have clarified that both the Kennedy and Budden sources say it is of Italian origin. It appeared that it was only referencing the different forms of the term. Having said that, Kennedy and Budden are wrong. But never mind. Wikipedia is about verifiability not truth. Voceditenore (talk) 09:26, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation page
Good. Now we are singing from the same hymn sheet - and we can certainly agree that someone is wrong since the experts all disagree - one of the problems here is that Travesty is a redirect pointing to the niche article Victorian burlesque. Would you agree that Travesty probably should be a disambig page? (Given the way the articles were structured I never knew this article here existed.) -- Klein zach  23:34, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes I would agree that it ought to be a disambiguation page, unless someone can present a compelling argument that Victorian burlesque is the primary meaning/use of "Travesty". Travesty has a much older tradition, certainly present in English literature and drama in the 17th century, and has been used in a variety of contexts. It doesn't seem right to me to direct this to an article with such a narrow focus. Plus, readers who end up at Victorian Burlesque have no quick way of finding the "travesty" they're looking for. A hat note at the top of the page directing them to the dismabiguation page would be very helpful. Another way of getting round it is to create: Travesty (disambiguation). Voceditenore (talk) 07:31, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Seems like a good idea to me. -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:00, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

I've made Travesty into a disambig. It could do with some development, but at least it points the reader to the three articles. -- Klein zach  01:26, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The hatnote at Victorian burlesque needs changing. I'd do it myself, but I almost always ball them up.;-) Voceditenore (talk) 06:58, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Actually, we no longer need a hatnote at Victorian Burlesque, as you will no longer end up there when searching for anything similar to "travesty". -- Ssilvers (talk) 07:49, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

"Breeches roles" in the lede
Somehow, this sentence had ended up the lede:

"For social reasons, female roles were played by boys or men in many early forms of theatre, and such roles, called 'breeches parts', continued to be common in several types of context even after female singers and actresses became accepted."

Breeches roles do not refer to men playing women's roles, quite the opoosite. I've corrected it to:

"For social reasons, female roles were played by boys or men in many early forms of theatre, and travesti roles continued to be used in several types of context even after actresses became accepted. The popular British theatrical form of the pantomime traditionally contained a role for a "principal boy", a breeches role played by a young woman, and also one or more pantomime dames, female comic roles played by men. Similarly, in the formerly popular genre of Victorian burlesque, there were usually one or more breeches roles."

Voceditenore (talk) 07:31, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Thank goodness. Well done.  Should it also mention the pantomime "dame"?  Burlesques also sometimes had men play "dame" roles.  Note that the pantomime dame is mentioned in the lead, but not in the body of the article.  Indeed, pantomime is not mentioned in the body of the article.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:03, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

 * I've added a bit about panto and burlesque to the body. I've also reorganized the material slightly so that plays (in which I include panto and burlesque), opera, and ballet each have their separate paragraph. It's easier on the reader and makes it easier for editors to know where to add material. Otherwise these articles start going down the road of randomly added bits of information. Voceditenore (talk) 17:59, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Sidebar and "See also" section
I have moved that huge cross-dressing sidebar a bit further down the article. It distorts and restricts image placement and formatting and distorts the reader's perception of what this article is about, a very specific theatrical term and practice. The vast majority of the articles listed in the sidebar relate to sexual practice/identity and are only related to the topic of this article in the most tangential way, if at all. If this could be made into a collapsed format, it would be OK, or even better presented as a horizontal nav bar at the bottom of the page like Template:Opera terms and Template:Transgender. But in its current state it doesn't belong in a dominating position in the article.

I've also pruned the See also section. Some of the articles listed were already linked in the article text or the sidebar. Others were inappropriate listings of indvidual modern entertainers who use cross-dressing as part of their act, e.g. Verka Serduchka. Of the two that remain, I've added brief explanatory text as to why they appear in the section, since it is not immediately apparent to the non-specialist reader. Voceditenore (talk) 09:36, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Voceditenore (talk) 09:36, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Actually, I've now completely removed the sidebar for the reasons given above, plus the fact that's full of links to redirects from essentially deleted articles. I've replaced it with a link to Cross-dressing in the See Also section. If anyone wants to re-add it to this specific article, I'd appreciate some sort of discussion here first. Voceditenore (talk) 10:40, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Primary subject?
Arguably this (long) article should be the primary subject and Travesti should have a disambig such as Travesti (South America) or Travesti (Spanish). Opinions? -- Klein zach  01:09, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

 * I don't think so. That article received over 5,000 views in January.  It apparently is of interest to most searchers.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:38, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Is popularity the sole determinant? It's also a stub. -- Klein zach  03:16, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Yes, popularity seems to be the most important factor. See WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:36, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

 * This is not all that important, however I see no way of distinguishing between Wikipedia readers looking for travesti (theatre) and travesti (transgender), since both lots of people would have accessed Travesti. On Google, 'Travesti' gets 13.2 million hits, 'Travesti theatre' gets 9.5 million, 'Travesti transgender' only gets 379,000. -- Klein zach  04:16, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

 * It's hard to judge popularity from Wikipedia's page view statistics. For all we know, the South American term gets a lot of page views from people who were actually looking looking for the theatrical term. But if you look at the type of sites that come up first in a Google search, (as opposed to the actual number of hits), the sexual meaning is clearly the most 'popular'. The term in relation to gender identity, also appears to be used in other languages and outside South America. On the other hand, internet searches tend to be skewed to sex, and there's no reason why an encyclopedia should be. If it were to be disambiguated Transvesti (gender identity) would probably be the most accurate, as it seems it doesn't always refer to transgendered people. Anyhow, maybe it would be a good idea to get the view of people at WikiProject disambiguation. Voceditenore (talk) 06:45, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

 * It would also be possible to disambig both articles, of course. (I take the point about gender identity.) -- Klein zach  07:17, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Breeches roles in Italian baroque opera
The statement “However, travesti mezzo-sopranos had been used earlier by both Handel and Mozart, sometimes because a castrato was not available, or to portray a boy or very young man, e.g. Cherubino in The Marriage of Figaro”, does not seem completely accurate to me and might turn misleading. In fact: I regret not feeling able to integrate the article myself.--Jeanambr (talk) 23:16, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * apart from Rome, the practice of women (mostly contraltos, but also sopranos) performing en travesti in the eighteenth century Italian operas appears to have been exceedingly common (there were also several of them who specialized in breeches roles);
 * that practice does not seem to have been confined to the absence of castratos or to portraying page-boys or very young men (as has been usual since about 1830); it just suited the period tastes for the marvellous which considered no odd at all that the light voice of a woman interpreted (young) male amatory roles (or, previously, that the heavy voice of a man interpreted old awkward woman ones);
 * that practice involved many other composers besides Handel and Mozart: in Vivaldi operas, for instance, (apart from those which were written for Rome) the leading male roles are probably more often allotted to women than to men (e.g.: Ottone, Nerone, Farnace in both La costanza trionfante degl'amori e de gl'odii and Farnace, Teuzzone, Orlando, Tamerlano).
