Welcome
--Slowking Man 06:32, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Welcome to Wikipedia Scott Davis, your help with South Australian articles is much needed and appreciated. Have you considered participatng in WikiProject Adelaide? --Cyberjunkie 07:02, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi Cyberjunkie. I've looked at the WikiProject Adelaide, but hadn't worked out what commitment is required - what does being a wikiproject participant mean? Also, do I just nominate myself, or is there an acceptance process? --ScottDavis 12:12, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * As a relatively new user of Wikipedia, I am still brushing up on Wikiquette myself, and might not be able to give you a completely factual answer. However, as far as I am aware, there is no acceptance procedure in becoming a WikiProject Adelaide participant. I believe that by listing yourself as a member, you are primarily stating your devotion to articles concerning Adelaide at large, and thus, the commitment required is that which you set for yourself. The WikiProject Adelaide page serves as a reference point and place of collaboration. As I understand it, it is not an exclusive club, but rather symbolic of your interests. You don't have to be a participant to edit Adelaide-related articles, but perhaps by listing yourself as one, you can be helped in that pursuit. --Cyberjunkie 03:31, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Lake names
Hi and welcome! For lake names, especially the famous ones like Lake Albert, we don't usually add a qualifier like ", Africa" - it's like London or Paris. If there were additional obscure Lake Alberts, then they would be "Lake Albert (Utah)" or some such. So I moved it back. Also, redirs to redirs don't work - when you move a page, look at the "what links here" and fix all redirs listed to point to the article at its new name. Stan 06:57, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Stan, I've created a short article for Lake Albert, South Australia, and thought I'd made a disambiguation page for Lake Albert Referring to them both. I was in the process of finding the links that pointed to the original Lake albert and fixing them to point to Lake Albert, Africa. I guess I should stop that now.--ScottDavis 07:04, 2005 Jan 9 (UTC)

i've added a disambiguation to the lake albert page on the african one. Xtra 10:04, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Thankyou --ScottDavis 10:28, 2005 Jan 9 (UTC)

in future, where there is a common name with an international place, and they have already taken the name, either add a disambig link to that page, or if there are numerous places of the same name, make a separate disambig page and leave the name of the page intact. cheers. Xtra 10:35, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Article nomenclature in the presence of ambiguity is a whole big metatopic in Wikipedia; dig down under Naming conventions and its subpages to find all kinds of debate. For instance, one could argue that the South Australian lake is more notable, because how many people have actually been to the African Lake Albert? Not as many I'll bet. But the African one plays a significant role in history, and if you did a worldwide poll "where is Lake Albert?", the answers (other than "I don't know") would be 99% "in Africa" and 1% "which one do you mean?". One way we use to approximate such a poll is to examine the results of a Google search on the term, although it's not totally reliable (Google skews towards people who make webpages :-) ). Stan 15:07, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm satisfied with Xtra's solution, and will attempt to emulate it should the same problem arise again. I've also learned some more about world geography. It's interesting to observe the differing skew in Google vs Yahoo searches though (discounting Wikipedia hits). Google skews quite strongly to the African lake on the top of the list. Yahoo much less so. The first 10 hits on Yahoo included three for Uganda, and two each for South Australia and New South Wales. The next page evened it to 3 all, and added one each for Alaska and Ontario (as well as two for Albert Park Lake in Victoria). Google's only sponsored link was for Lake Albert, New South Wales. Both search engines also found a painter called Albert Lake as well.--ScottDavis 01:43, 2005 Jan 10 (UTC)

Basements and cellars
Thanks for the info. Here in TX (where we rarely have any space beneath our houses and thus don't know what we're talking about) we use the terms interchangeably. I did live in a house with a basement once, but sadly, it could have doubled as a swimming pool. Joyous 12:03, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)

subpages
I'm wondering if you can tell me how to add subpages to my user page. I see you've done it with User:ScottDavis/Murray crossings. I've searched the tutorials and have found nothing. Thanks Cnwb 23:36, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Drought
Because the previous version was 1000% better. RickK 20:24, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about that - I was cleaning up after the mess those two left, and accidentally reverted one of her self-reverts. Ambi 00:59, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Port Augusta
Yes, I acted a bit hastily there - I was under the impression that most place articles don't include the county/state/country unless necessary for disambiguation purposes - I only noticed the rest of the Australian placenames after I did the move. Initially, I was going to merge in City of Port Augusta as well, but then I realised that they're not referring to the same thing, so I just kind of fizzled out :/ Feel free to move it back to Port Augusta, South Australia. sjorford →•← 14:31, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hawker
Hi Scott. Nothing major over at Hawker. I just found the disambig heading separators a little loud I guess. I've gone ahead and done the required janitorial work myself. No harm done. -- Longhair | Talk 15:53, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

C C Kingston
Thanks for your comment. Perhaps you could find a better photo of him which is in the public domain. (Are you going to do an article on Lake Caddibarrawirracanna, Australia's longest place name?) Adam 00:45, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 * If I see a photo, I'll grab it, but biographies aren't usually my thing. Do you think it would improve simply with cropping? Is that the best resolution available of the source?
 * I don't need to write the article, the Lake Cadibarrawirracanna (one 'd') article has been there for over two years! --ScottDavis 14:07, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

John Downer
Sorry, I assumed he was an actor, movie seemed like a weird occupation :) I wouldn't worry about the disambig, there are 3 John Downers involved in film (none are especially famous), if one of them does get made at some point ther author can do the disambig.--nixie 14:54, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Goolwa
Sorry, you're quite right. The main problem is that the article was pretty much a series of unconnected one-sentence paragraphs, making it look like a page of notes rather than an article. I've gone back to it and made a start (moving and combining text, adding a category), but I think that the text still needs to be fleshed out with a bit more detail for it to read well. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 12:37, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Ah, I've just hit an edit conflict with you; I tried to merge our two edits — I'm pretty sure that I haven't missed anything, but could you double check? It seems to me that the article looks much better, now — perhaps it could even lose the "stub". Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 12:41, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

 * My pleasure. It's a pity there's no photo or other illustration; I'll do a search when I get time. Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 12:57, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Doh! Why didn't I spot the duplication when I added the category? Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 14:59, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

User:Humanbot update 04 June 2005
Since you entered the mailing list while the project was down, I assume that you wanted to be told when it was up. Well, it's up. Note that it is generally unreliable at the moment and if it doesn't work now you should check back in a few hours. r3m0t talk 12:22, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

No Problem
Thanks for the thanks for the maps in the goyder's line article. Any time you need anything, just contact me via the talk page. Ytgy111 10:02, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

User:Humanbot update 08 June 2005
Version two-two released today includes in that green box a nice count of how many articles are left. This more or less co-incides with the event of hitting only 1000 articles remaining. Also, I have re-arranged the User:Humanbot page to make it easier to get to the right stuff. Progress charts, wikicookies, wikilove and a more thorough spelling check is promised when this is completed. (and also when the exam pressure eases off a little on me) r3m0t talk 17:41, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC) Note: If you think this message was too trivial for a mailing, tell me and I'll stick to more important announcements on the list.

Thanks!
Thanks for your great expansion on the Rundle Mall Article and the pictures. You did a great job. Taylor 04:19, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the acknowledgement. The photos came from Cyberjunkie. I just added them to the article. --ScottDavis 08:23, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Use of AU-politician-stub
You learn something every day here at Wikipedia. Thanks Scott. If there's a plethora of changes I need to undo, let me know thanks. -- Longhair | Talk 09:48, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * My thinking was more along the lines of, rather than lump them all into biographical stub categories, they're more likely to be found and updated grouped in with the politicians. My knowledge of local politics isn't up to the standards of most political contributors here, but I try to help where I can, even if it's dotting i's and crossing t's. :) -- Longhair | Talk 09:59, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Australian wine regions
I'm popular tonight aren't I? ;) Hehe. I once lived in Merbein, Victoria for a very short time. Just down the road was a large Wolff Blass winery, and right behind it, acres and acres of wine growing grape vines. I categorised the entire area as a wine region until a proper article on the subject arrives. Again, it's a topic I'm lacking knowledge in. Wine and I just don't agree. :) - Longhair | Talk 10:17, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I never realised wine regions were as fierce with politics. Sounds like it could be a touchy subject if the wine growers ever get on board around here. Thanks for the informative updates. -- Longhair | Talk 10:48, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

User:Humanbot update 13 June 2005
The spelling2 project (to work on secondary namespaces) was opened and finished. Progress charts will be available soon.

Version six-three tracks who made the edits, and rankings are available. Much of the work was done while I was asleep, explaining my low place ;).

The next project, which may even be released today, will probably fix incorrectly capitalised headings, particularly "See Also" and "External Links".

The mailing list has grown to 24 people and while that is very nice for my ego, it is rather difficult to send out updates. This is why I did not send out a notice that the spelling2 project had opened. From now on, then, you must watch User:Humanbot/announce for updates. r3m0t talk 12:03, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Caribbean stubs
Scott - do you mind if I help populate your stub list? Guettarda 15:47, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I think it's a needed cat. I mentioned the idea of a Caribbean-bio-stub to before.  I'm glad you started this.  Guettarda 02:27, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * You should also talk to User:CaribDigita - his focus is much more broadly Caribbean than mine. I'm a lot more biased towards Trinidad and Tobago articles.  Guettarda 03:00, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Looking at the distribution of stubs, do you think a separate bio-stub might be warranted? (Wow, I've never seen my watch list come to life like that!)  Guettarda 12:58, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out your gallery, I've used one of the senic shots of the Barossa Valley. --nixie 05:16, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Categories at WikiProject Adelaide
Hey ScottDavis! Since we now have an outline of the South Australia category (thanks for adding that), do you think we should have a complete category skeleton, that is, a full outline of South Australia with Adelaide and its daughters off-shooting? Such an outline would better show editors which category to use. Conversely, it could also be horribly confusing and perhaps beyond the scope of the Project. Thoughts? -- Cyberjunkie   TALK  04:28, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I didn't display the full category hierarchy, just the ones I thought would be useful. I think I'm inclined to leave it as it is, partly beacuse it's simpler, and partly because it is the Adelaide wikiproject, with SA interests tacked on. --ScottDavis 05:12, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting my error
I made an error at Pacific Patrol Boat Program in converting 2500 nautical miles to 370 km. You corrected this to 4625 km. I was converting a lot of instances of 200 nautical miles (common sea boundary) to 370 km. For some reason that instance got caught up with it. I have no idea why I made such a simple error, but I am glad that you corrected it. Thanks. Keep up the good work. Bobblewik (talk) 4 July 2005 22:21 (UTC)

 * I have double checked the conversion by putting 2500 nautical miles into Google and pressing the 'Search' button. It reports that the conversion is 4630 km, not 4625 km. I have updated the value in the article. Thanks again. Bobblewik (talk) 4 July 2005 22:24 (UTC)

George Ferguson Bowen
Thanks for putting my nose to the grindstone. I have put a parenthetical reference into the main article. One may hope that this will give the reader a more balanced view of the topic. Too Old July 5, 2005 02:54 (UTC)

Humanbot
Thank you for fixing a spelling mistake in MANOVA. I would just like to say that it should have been upper case instead of lowercase, as it was at the beginning of sentence. I fixed it, and it does not matter much. The only reason I let you know is in case that is a more general bug of the humanbot. So, if it was a rather unique human mistake rather than a computer program mistake, I can rest assured.

You can reply here (to keep the talk in one place). Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov 5 July 2005 03:29 (UTC)

Oops. Thankyou. The script warns that it's not good with capitals, and usually we notice and do it right. Sorry for missing one, and thankyou for fixing it. --ScottDavis 5 July 2005 09:19 (UTC)

I just reverted the Narrambi Road link as it seems to have been agreed that Philip J. Rayment was right, and that that was the correct spelling. I know there's a bit of a mess of links and the other pages that was never resolved, but I wasn't in the mood to do it right then - I know it needs sorting. Ambi 12:26, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

RE: Stub templates
Just to let you know- I am in fact part of WP:WSS, so I know all about the extra templates, but since the page has been redesigned I find it a great pain to use them. Don't get me wrong, I love stubbing articles and back in the day I enjoyed sorting them as well. It just is more feasible one way for me, now. Apologies. Mr Bound 16:28, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

possible duplicate articles
Despite the differences in distance estimates I'm going to say that they are one park and that Gammon Ranges National Park is a duplicate, because on the DEH website there is only one park with Gammon in the name that I can see and that's Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park. I'll take the website's info over what might have been a rough estimate on the wikipedia Gammon Ranges page. Diceman 16:46, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

C. J. Dennis
Thanks for the help there... I don't actually know that much about him, but noticed the gap and thought that I could at least put *something* there. Looks like you have a bit more local knowledge than I do :) --Skud 02:15, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks again
I noticed what you fixed with my Golden Grove Village article, thanks for fixing up my bad links etc. Thanks again :) Taylor 10:02, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Split edits
Hi Scott, I can't think of a way that it would be possible for me to move those edits between articles. It really shouldn't matter since they still exist -somewhere-. --nixie 13:10, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

It could sort of be done if the page was moved to the new name, reverted to the old article and then moved to the other aricle- thus duplicating the edit history on the two new pages. Other than that there is no easy way to shift/or assign edits between articles. The wiki could be smarter ;) --nixie 13:36, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank you for your vote of support on my recent RfA. I was quite surprised by the amount of support I received, and wish to extend my thanks to you for taking the time to support my nomination for adminship. -- Longhair | Talk 12:13, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Re: GGV
I thought about your message and I'm thinking that we might as well merge it anyway. However, with this merge it needs to be more than "The Golden Grove Village is an adequate place to shop." If anyone doesn't like it then they can just revert it. Taylor

Completed! I merged the article with the GGSA article, change it to a better style if you wish. Click here Taylor

Re: Wang Kon
To be honest, I don't know. I just made it from a request, with the information I could find online, so that if anyone who knows about Korean history came along, they would have more incentive to give their Knowledge. "Wang Kon" seems to get more Google hits, so I suggest leaving it there until someone with said knowledge comes along. Sonic Mew | talk to me 22:12, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

Could you comment on Jiongs edits on the talk page, I think he/she is trying to insert and anti-immigration POV without data that actually supports the claim. I read the productivity comissions findings, and they're not what Jiong is tyring to represent.--nixie 02:09, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Just a quick note to say thanks for the support on my adminship nomination - you're but one of many Australian editors who make valuable contributions. Hopefully, we'll be able to continue collaborating on worthwhile projects. Cheers and happy editing, Slac speak up!  22:32, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Lake Margaret Tasmania rave
My apologies. The words are obviously part of a ten page rave about having been a west coast tasmanian ( I lived there in the 70's) and the on-going relationship between the community, the hydro, politicians, as well as heritage etc etc. Very un-wiki. Apologies again.

As to lake margaret article. There is a lot more to it, shall have to go off and read and think a bit more before I put it up. vcxlor 15:04, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

1. I don't have the information on me but it's from Adelaide: A brief History by Kathryn Gergett and Susan Marsden (1996).

2. I believe the perspective is from the corner of North and West Terrace, the church might have been made of wood which would explain its abscence.

table formats for Governor of the Falkland Islands
Hi Zanimum. I see you're changing the borders of the tables in Governor of the Falkland Islands. Do you mind explaining why you also removed the column headings? I think it needs either the column headings, or a – between the two years instead of them being in two columns. --Scott Davis Talk 00:20, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I've returned the headings. I had thought it was just unnecessary code, not actual display headings. --  user:zanimum

Stonehaven
If someone does something as stupid as changing "Stonehaven" to "Baird" all the way through the article, which clearly says he was given his title before he came to Australia, I am under no obligation to pick through all his edits looking for the few which might be valid. Adam 03:30, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

The article is clear about when his name changed. You are of course free to make any edits you like. Adam 04:05, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry if you have formed that impression. I do get annoyed when people make stupid and ignorant edits to articles which I and other editors have put a lot of work into. I try to draw a distinction between the well-intentioned but ill-informed and the malevolent and partisan, but I don't always get it right. Adam 05:34, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

List of place names
I've just been going through some of the Victorian ones on that list you made, adding mentions to a few disambig pages - I notice the ACT is missing though. Any chance of getting a similar list for that? Ambi 10:38, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I think it might be an idea to start the ACT postcode list again from scratch - I have no idea what the "main postcodes" mean either. A Google search for "main postcodes" "australian capital territory" reveals nothing but Wikipedia results, which isn't very helpful. Would it be difficult to recreate it from the auspost.com.au list? Ambi 12:07, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks a lot. This ACT list is going to be particularly challenging, as most of the suburbs are named after someone, and many have at least one other place named after them as well (thus they all need seperate disambiguation pages instead of redirects). Ambi 13:08, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I just ran into that with Belconnen - I ended up leaving it as a district, because all the other potential topics (the suburb, the town centre, and a couple of things located there) all came under the district and were mentioned fairly early in that article. I suspect Woden might be a similar situation (if there isn't anything elsewhere named that). I'm also leaving quite a few of these disambiguation pages to cleanup later, as quite a few of them really suck. :) Ambi 14:05, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Charles Mangin

Charles Emmanuel Marie Mangin (6 July 1866 – 12 May 1925) was a French general during World War I.

Early career
Charles Mangin was born on 6 July 1866 in Sarrebourg. After initially failing to gain entrance to Saint-Cyr, he joined the 77th Infantry Regiment in 1885. He reapplied and was accepted in Saint-Cyr in 1886 attaining the rank of sub-lieutenant in 1888. He joined the 1st Marine Infantry Regiment based in Cherbourg. He was sent to Sudan, serving under Jean-Baptiste Marchand and gained further experience in Mali, French North Africa. During this period he learnt Bambara, the lingua-franca of Mali. He was wounded three times and returned to France in 1892. In 1893 he was made a Knight of the Legion d'honneur.

In 1898, Mangin joined Marchand on his expedition to Fashoda with children in tow. In 1900 he attained the rank of Officer of the Legion d'honneur. He was given the command of a battalion in Tonkin from 1901 to 1904. He was then promoted to lieutenant-colonel in 1905 and served during the French occupation of Senegal from 1906 to 1908 under General Audéoud. In 1910 he published La force noire, where he called for the use of French Colonial Forces in the event of a European war.

First World War
During the First World War Mangin rose from divisional command to that of the Tenth Army for the Second Battle of the Marne, commanding both French and American troops. Nicknamed "the Butcher" for his espousal of la guerre à outrance (all-out war) and his faith in the suitability of North African Tirailleur for the attack, there was no doubt in the French Army that Mangin was fearless. Unlike many French generals who did not visit the front, Mangin was shot in the chest while exhorting his men for further attacks during the Second Battle of Champagne, though he returned to duty ten days later. During that war, Mangin had notable victories at the Battle of Charleroi in 1914 and then at the Battle of Verdun in 1916 but his reputation suffered following the disastrous Nivelle Offensive (16 April – 9 May 1917). This was due partly to the fact that Mangin was one of the few high-ranking French officials who supported Nivelle's strategy.

Mangin's Sixth Army bore the brunt of the main attack during the Second Battle of the Aisne, the main component of Robert Nivelle's costly assault. After the failed operation was abandoned, Mangin and Nivelle were sacked. After Ferdinand Foch was promoted to Allied Supreme Commander (over Philippe Pétain), Mangin was recalled upon the orders of Prime Minister Clemenceau and given command initially of the 11th Army Corps and then of the French Tenth Army on the Western Front.

Mangin's Tenth Army was responsible for the crucial Allied counter-attack at the Second Battle of the Marne. It was this that did much to enhance his military reputation. He also became known for the observation: "Quoi qu'on fasse, on perd beaucoup de monde" ("Whatever you do, you lose a lot of men"). In the closing months of the war, he served as part of General Castelnau's Army Group East, advancing towards Metz.

The recruitment of African troops in the French Army, which had many opponents, was chiefly the result of Mangin's advocacy. His conception of a "plus grande France", based on political autonomy and military obligation for all parts of the French Empire, is put forward in the concluding chapters of his book Comment finit la Guerre.

After the war
After the Allied victory, Mangin's 10th Army was sent to occupy the Rhineland. There, he became the focus of controversy due to his attempts to foster the establishment of a pro-French Rhenish Republic with the aim of separating it from Germany and thus denying Germany the West bank of the Rhine.

Mangin became a member of the Supreme War Council and inspector general of French colonial troops. He fell seriously ill at his Paris home on 9 May 1925. Suffering from pain, he became incoherent and partly paralysed. The following day he was diagnosed as suffering from appendicitis and as having suffered a stroke, though it was rumoured he may have been poisoned. He died two days later, on 12 May. His remains were interred in Les Invalides in 1932, and a bronze statue by Maxime Real del Sarte erected in his honour in 1928 in the Place Denys-Cochin, Paris.

Mangin's monument was destroyed on 16 June 1940, two days after German troops had entered Paris. During his tour of Paris, Adolf Hitler visited Napoleon's tomb, and the statue, being a reminder of Mangin's machinations in the Rhineland, was one of two he ordered destroyed. The other was of Edith Cavell. Mangin had guarded the Rhineland in 1920 with Senegalese troops and, supposedly "every German 'knew' that he ordered German mayors to provide brothels for his soldiers, and when the mayors protested at 'providing German women for Senegalese', Mangin was alleged to have replied, 'German women are none too good for my Senegalese'". A German demolition squad dynamited his statue and most of the bronze was later melted down. In 1957 a new statue was erected on the nearby Avenue de Breteuil.

Family life
When Mangin returned from the Merchant mission, he met Madeleine Jagerschmidt, the daughter of a banker. They became engaged just 10 days later and were married in May 1900. However, a year later, his wife died while giving birth to a stillborn child. He was very badly affected, and during the next three years would not respond to anything other than the letters of Madeleine's mother.

In January 1905, Mangin requested an introduction to discuss Tonkin with the nationalist activist and former minister, Godefroy Cavaignac. This was arranged through Marie Georges Humbert, a professor of mathematics at the École Polytechnique the husband of his deceased wife's sister, Marie Jagerschmidt. She gave private lessons to Cavaignac's daughter Antoinette. Following the interview, Cavaignac regularly invited Mangin to dine at his house where his 25-year-old daughter Antoinette was living. Whilst Mangin was impressed by Antoinette's intelligence, he in turn impressed her with accounts of his exploits in the colonies. In June 1905, Mangin proposed and the couple were married on July 31, 1905.

They had eight children together including Stanislas Mangin, a resistance fighter during the Second World War.

Vladimir Herzog

Vladimir Herzog (27 June 1937 – 25 October 1975), nicknamed Vlado (a usual Croatian abbreviation for the name Vladimir) by his family and friends, was a Brazilian journalist, university professor and playwright of Croatian-Jewish origin and born in today´s Croatia. He also developed a taste for photography, because of his film projects.

Herzog was a member of the Brazilian Communist Party and was active in the civil resistance movement against the military dictatorship in Brazil. In October 1975, Herzog, then editor-in-chief of TV Cultura, was tortured to death by the political police of the military dictatorship, which later staged his suicide. It took 37 years before his death certificate was revised to say that he had in fact died as a result of torture by the army at DOI-CODI. His death had a great impact on the Brazilian society, marking the beginning of a wave of action towards the redemocratization process of the country.

Early life
Herzog was born in Osijek, Kingdom of Yugoslavia province of Sava Banovina (currently Croatia) on 27 June 1937, to Zigmund and Zora Herzog, a Croatian Jewish family who emigrated to Brazil in the early 1940s, to escape Nazi and Ustashe persecution.

Education and career
Herzog received a bachelor's degree in Philosophy from the University of São Paulo in 1959. He became a naturalized Brazilian citizen in 1961 After his graduation, he worked as a journalist in the major media outlets in Brazil, notably in the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo. During that period he decided to use "Vladimir" instead of "Vlado" as his first name, because he felt that his real name sounded extremely exotic in Brazil. Following the 1965 right wing coup d'état Herzog together with his wife Clarice Ribeiro Chaves, moved to Britain, where for three years he worked in London for the BBC. They returned to Brazil in late 1968.

In the 1970s Herzog became the editor-in-chief of TV Cultura, a public TV station managed by the São Paulo State government. He also became a journalism professor at the University of São Paulo School of Communication and Arts and at Fundação Armando AlvCorrectares Penteado's Journalism course. Alongside this, he developed a career as a playwright, mixing with the artistic and theater Intelligentsia of Brazil. Later in his life, Herzog became active in the civil resistance movement against the military dictatorship in Brazil, as a member of the Brazilian Communist Party (Partido Comunista Brasileiro - PCB). As a news director at the TV station, Herzog advocated the responsibility of journalists to society and reported on the first decade of the Brazilian military dictatorship. Military intelligence spies working inside the TV station reported to their handlers that Herzog is "a problem for the military regime."

Arrest and death

On 24 October 1975 – when Herzog was already editor-in-chief of TV Cultura – Brazilian Army agents summoned him to testify about his connections with the then outlawed PCB Party. The following day, Herzog went to the DOI-CODI in order to comply with the summons. This meeting however, was actually a ruse to conduct an interrogation of Herzog, wherein he was detained, beaten and tortured. He was arrested with other two journalists, Jorge Duque Estrada Benigno and Rodolfo Konder, who later confirmed the treatment he received.

On 25 October, Herzog's body was found hanging in his prison cell. Before revision, his death certificate stated "suicide by hanging". According to opposition, the DOI-CODI officers would have placed his body in the position it was found in order to inform the press that he had committed suicide.

Aftermath
Herzog was married to advertising agent Clarice Herzog, with whom he had two young children. Three years later, she was able to legally blame the state for the death of her husband. Still unable to cope with Herzog's death, she has said that "Vlado would contribute more to society if he were alive". The death of Herzog boosted the movement against the military dictatorship in Brazil. Generating a wave of protests from the international press, and initiating a process in defense of human rights in Latin America,

The autopsy was inconclusive, but at the time forensic pathologists were members of the police and systematically produced false autopsy reports in cases of death by torture.

Public opinion, however, never accepted this version and his murder generated national indignation. The president of the Republic at the time, General Ernesto Geisel was also upset by these and other actions by what he called the "criminals" of the largely parallel power of military-directed violent political repression. As a result, he ordered a clean-up and reduction in these activities, firing the main ultra-right wing general behind it, Ednardo D'Ávila Melo.

According to Henry Sobel, the chief rabbi of the main synagogue of São Paulo at the time, the murder of Herzog changed the country. "It was the catalyst of the eventual restoration of democracy. His death will always be a painful memory of a shady period of repression, a perpetual echo of the voice of freedom, which will never be kept silent".

After finding out that Herzog's body bore the marks of torture, Rabbi Sobel decided that he should be buried in the center of the cemetery rather than in a corner, as Jewish tradition demands in cases of suicide. This was made public and completely destroyed the official version of suicide. Officially, the first irrefutable proof that Herzog's death was not a suicide was reported in Fernando Pacheco Jordão's Dossier Herzog - Prisão, Tortura e Morte no Brasil. The author points out that the picture provided by the military as proof of Herzog's suicide portrayed the prisoner hanging by his prison belt tied in his cell's bars with his feet touching the floor and his knees notably bent.

By the time of Herzog's death, Brazil was in extreme tension. The military had been in power for over ten years and the Brazilian population was constantly in fear. Herzog was the thirty-eighth person to "commit suicide" after being arrested by the military. The first thirty-seven however, were not as renowned as Herzog was. Precisely because he was a public figure his death attracted public and governmental attention to the case. His death is seen today as the beginning of the end of the Brazilian military dictatorship. Herzog has become a symbol of the fight for democracy in Brazil and has been honoured in many ways, such as by attributing it to the street where the TV Cultura is located in São Paulo. In addition, a public prize for journalism devoted to amnesty and human rights has been established with his name (Prêmio de Jornalismo Vladimir Herzog de Anistia e Direitos Humanos).

Litigation and investigation
Later, in a civil lawsuit filed by his widow against the government, a federal tribunal recognized his wrongful death and granted monetary damages to Herzog's family. A documentary by director João Batista de Andrade, titled Herzog - 30 anos, was filmed in 2005. In the same year, new photographs of a still-living and fully naked Herzog in the prison cell were released on the Internet, authorized by a high-ranking military officer in president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's office.

At the request of several religious and human rights groups, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, an independent arm of the Organization of American States, investigated the conflicting circumstances surrounding the death of Vladimir Herzog,  and found that the Brazilian junta arrested, tortured and murdered Herzog because of his activities as a journalist.

A new death certificate was issued 37 years after Herzog's death to indicate that he died "due to physical torture at the facilities of DOI-Codi in the 2nd Army in São Paulo." His previous certificate indicated a possible suicide.

Ivo Herzog, son of Vladimir Herzog, delivered petitions for José Maria Marin's removal from the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and from the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Ivo cited the speeches Marin delivered as congressional representative that praised Sérgio Fleury, who was head of the Department of Political and Social Order (Departamento de Ordem Politica e Social) during Brazil's military dictatorship, and for criticizing Herzog in speeches from 1975.

Legacy
In 2009, over 30 years after Herzog's death, the Vladimir Herzog Institute was founded. Its aims are to archive material about Herzog, to promote debate about the role of journalists and new media, and to award the Vladimir Herzog Prize for Amnesty and Human Rights to journalists and human rights activists.

Shinsetsu Samurai Spirits Bushidō Retsuden

Shinsetsu Samurai Spirits Bushidō Retsuden (真説 サムライ スピリッツ 武士道烈伝) is a role-playing video game for SNK's Neo Geo CD system, which retells the events of Samurai Shodown and Samurai Shodown II in greater detail. It was ported to the Sega Saturn and PlayStation.

Gameplay
The basic setup of the game is very similar to most console RPGs, such as Final Fantasy. The characters roam an overworld, enter towns and dungeons, and get into battles, which occur on a separate screen. The menu options enable equipping of armor and accessories, as well as use of items.

At the outset, the player is given the option to choose from six characters to be the "main" character of the story: Haohmaru, Nakoruru, Ukyo Tachibana, Genjuro Kibagami, Cham Cham, and Galford. D. Weller. The basic outline of the plot does not diverge greatly for any of them, but each has different dialogue ingame, and each also has unique special scenes which go into greater detail about the character. In addition, to better adjust to character continuity, certain stories are modified slightly based on the selected chapter. Over the course of the game, two other characters can also join the party (unless the hero is Genjuro, who only gains a partner in his second story). In addition, the second chapter also introduces a new character, Shippuu no Reon (疾風の鈴音), whose name translates roughly to "The Ringing of the Gale Winds." All characters from the first two Samurai Shodown games make an appearance, either as a temporary helper, plot device, or enemy.

Combat includes an option to input the joystick motions for the various special moves manually, as in the arcade games, rather than simply selecting the moves from a list.

While armor and accessories can be bought and equipped, each character has the same weapon throughout the game. Characters can visit blacksmiths to temper and strengthen their weapons. These smiths can also infuse the weapons with one of the game's various elements, which make the weapon's normal strikes and select special moves more effective against certain enemies.

Development
The development history of the game is fairly storied. It was announced for development in 1995, and underwent many delays in the process, finally being released a few years later. For some time, rumors abounded that it was never going to come out. A U.S. release was planned for the third quarter of 1997 (just a few months after the Japanese release), but it never materialized.

As originally envisioned, the game was to be split into three episodes: one for each of the three games in the series. For a while, it was to be a Neo Geo CD exclusive, but developmental and financial pressures caused SNK to also release it for two other current systems. SNK decided that each version was to contain only two of the three episodes, thereby necessitating a player to buy two copies of the game in order to get the whole story. This plan resulted in a significant backlash from fans, and was discarded.

Eventually, as development ground on, the executive decision was made to scrap the third chapter entirely, and focus solely on the first two, so as to allow the game to be released sooner.

Release
While the core gameplay is largely similar between the versions, there are aesthetic and gameplay differences between the Neo Geo CD and PlayStation/Saturn versions.
 * The Neo Geo CD version has considerably more animation in the combat sprites than the PS and Saturn, including unique idle stances for each character and specialized death animations for monsters.
 * The Neo Geo CD version has more ornate and colorful menus, whereas the PS and Saturn versions have fairly blank, purple-and-green menus instead.
 * Motions in the Neo Geo CD version have a smoother look and feel than the others.
 * In the overworld map, the NeoCD version uses a scaled-down version of the dungeon/down character sprite. The PS version uses a new sprite entirely.
 * The Neo Geo CD runs in its native resolution of 304x224, whereas the PS and Saturn run in 320x240.
 * The Neo Geo CD version has fewer pauses between audio clips than the others.
 * The PS and Saturn version have significant animation cuts in the characters' walk/run animations.
 * The PS version enables the player to select the strength of a normal attack after choosing a target, whereas the Neo Geo CD does not.
 * The PS version shows an Active Time Battle bar, which the NeoCD lacks.
 * The PS version has higher-quality music than either of the other two versions, owing to higher-quality PCM samples.

The most obvious differences between the three versions are the bonus modes which are unlocked after beating the game.
 * Neo Geo CD: A third "mini-chapter" is enabled, wherein the player controls Hisame Shizumaru as he wanders around, running into cameo appearances of various SNK characters from other games.
 * PlayStation: A "side story" mode is enabled, which enables the player to view non-interactive sequences about many of the series' other characters.
 * Saturn: An interview mode is enabled, which enables the player to view a lengthy, non-interactive sequence about the various characters, frequently breaking the fourth wall. This bonus content is also available in the PlayStation version, by way of a hacked save file.

Reception
According to Famitsu, Shinsetsu Samurai Spirits Bushidō Retsuden on Neo Geo CD sold over 20,256 copies in its first week on the market. Famitsu also reported that both the PlayStation and Sega Saturn versions sold over 37,353 and 28,122 copies, respectively, in their first week on the market as well.

In 2014, HobbyConsolas identified Shinsetsu Samurai Spirits Bushidō Retsuden as one of the twenty best games for the Neo Geo CD.

File source problem with File:Vanpool.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Vanpool.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Proceratium google

Proceratium google, also known as the Google ant, was discovered in Madagascar by Brian L. Fisher, Associate Curator of Entomology at the California Academy of Sciences. The ant has an oddly shaped abdomen, adapted for hunting its exclusive meal of spider eggs.

Fisher named the ant after the search engine company Google Inc., as a tribute to the usefulness of Google Earth in his research. He wrote:

"Named in recognition of the support from the Google company. I hope that Google will continue applying its talent to serve data relevant to the biodiversity community, conservation planners, and the general public. By creating a “Zoogle,” Google could help achieve free and democratic access to taxonomic and biodiversity data on species. P. google is also suspected to be a specialist egg predator of spiders, which is also why this ant is aptly named after Google— for the ability to hunt down obscure prey. The specific name is an arbitrary combination, to be treated as a noun in apposition."

Talk:Fred M. Vinson

Info box
The info box gives his term of office, but doesn't indicate which office. Is there a good way of fixing that? -Will Beback 00:57, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I changed the template. Done. -Will Beback 19:11, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

The article states that Vinson was "the last Chief Justice born in the 19th Century." This is not correct. Chief Justice Earl Warren was born in 1891. Bdcrph (talk) 05:47, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Marihuana section
The paragraph on the Marihuana Act of 1937 should be removed entirely. It has no citation, and the Wikipedia article on the same Act does not mention Vinson. Dedicating a separate section in the Vinson article to one obscure law among the hundreds which Vinson worked on, and using a phrase like "false facts" smacks of a personal agenda by the author. Catherinejarvis (talk) 20:41, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Indeed. I decided to be bold and delete it as WP:UNDUE. TJRC (talk) 20:55, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Actually, the "Marihuana" section IS relevant. Vinson, was a main, if not the main, supporter of the bill in the House, and ... reportedly was a blatant liar and implicit racist in support of it. http://www.counterpunch.org/2013/07/12/the-prohibition-of-marijuana-in-three-acts/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.0.104.129 (talk) 18:07, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
