Mike Westbrook

Michael John David Westbrook  (born 21 March 1936) is an English jazz pianist, composer, and writer of orchestrated jazz pieces. He is married to the vocalist, librettist and painter Kate Westbrook.

Early work
Mike Westbrook was born in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England, and grew up in Torquay. After a spell in accountancy and his National Service (some of it in Germany) he went to art school, studying painting, in Plymouth. There he also began his first bands in 1958, soon joined by such musicians as John Surman, Lou Gare and Keith Rowe.

After moving to London in 1962, Westbrook led numerous bands, large and small, and played regularly at the Old Place and the Little Theatre Club at Garrick Yard, St Martin's Lane. Together with Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath, Westbrook shared the role of house-band at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club.

He became a key figure in the development of British jazz, producing several big-band records for the Deram label, with the newly formed Mike Westbrook Concert Band, between 1967 and 1969. These featured such musicians as Surman, Mike Osborne and Harry Miller. The band varied in size from 10 to 26 musicians.

In 1968 his band made their international debut at the Montreux Festival with Malcolm Griffiths, Alan Jackson, Harry Miller, Mike Osborne and John Surman.

His music was given exposure on BBC Radio, on the Jazz Club and Jazz Scene programmes on BBC Radio One, and he started to act as a presenter and commentator on new British Jazz through 1968 and 1969. He was featured on BBC TV, when Jazz Scene transferred to the BBC 2 TV service. The station broadcast The Mike Westbrook Concert Band performing 'Metropolis', based on Westbrook's impressions of first visiting London, on Tuesday 25 November 1969 at 20.45 from the Ronnie Scott Club. The British Arts Council awarded Westbrook a bursary to develop 'Metropolis' for an enlarged Concert Band, and the jazz suite was further broadcast on BBC Radio Three on Friday 9 January 1970 at 21.00. Westbrook's compositions and performances were regularly broadcast by the BBC throughout the 1970s and 1980s. 'Metropolis' was recorded at Landsdowne Studios, London, on 3, 4 and 5 August 1971 and released by on RCA Victor in the UK and Japan. A further major extended orchestral composition, 'Citadel/Room 315', featuring saxophonist John Surman, was recorded in March 1975.

The 1970s saw a wide range of different projects. Cosmic Circus, jointly founded with John Fox, who was also a composer, specialised in large scale, one-off high technology shows involving high-divers, tight-rope, carnival processions and more. It was part of Earthrise Tour in the UK (May 1970 to October 1971). This included also singer/vocalist Norma Winstone who performed on several of the band's albums at the time.

Adrian Mitchell drew Mike Westbrook in for his musical Tyger on the life of William Blake for the Royal National Theatre. This would become a major influence on Mike Westbrook's work (see paragraph on later work below).

In 1972 and 1973, he also worked in the context of his jazz-rock band Solid Gold Cadillac. The most consequential effect of this was the participation of Phil Minton. His unmistakable voice would feature in many of Westbrook's later projects. A live performance of Solid Gold Cadillac (at the Paris Theatre in London) has been repeatedly broadcast by BBC Radio 6 between 2002 and 2007.

In March 1977, the Mike Westbrook Brass Band, avant-rock group Henry Cow and folk singer Frankie Armstrong merged to form the Orckestra. The ensemble performed in London and several cities in Europe, their last concert being in Bordeaux, France, in May 1978.

Later work
His work for the theatre began with Adrian Mitchell's Tyger, a celebration of William Blake, staged by the Royal National Theatre in 1971. This became a vehicle for his Brass Band of the 1970s and 1980s and the LP The Westbrook Blake – Bright As Fire followed on in 1980. A revised and expanded version of the work was re-recorded in 1997 and named Glad Day. Westbrook recorded the poem "The Human Abstract" in 1982.

The Brass Band also recorded Mama Chicago, described as a "Jazz Cabaret", which featured the voices of Phil Minton and Kate Westbrook. The album was released on CD for the first time in 2007. More recently Mike Westbrook has developed the work further and it now includes an adult choir and on occasion, a children's choir at live performances.

Further works of note include On Duke's Birthday, which was dedicated to the memory of Duke Ellington, which was reissued on CD in the summer of 2007, Big Band Rossini, which was featured in the 1992 BBC Proms, and Chanson Irresponsable (2002), commissioned by BBC Radio 3, which brings together jazz and classical musicians in the New Westbrook Orchestra. Westbrook was awarded an OBE in 1988, and in 2004 the University of Plymouth awarded him an Honorary Doctorate of Music.

Other projects include ART WOLF inspired by the life and work of the Alpine painter Caspar Wolf. In this Kate and Mike Westbrook are joined by saxophonists Pete Whyman and Chris Biscoe. In another project the couple have been joined by four leading Devon musicians to form the Village Band. The acoustic brass band perform many jazz standards and an original piece, the Waxeywork Show, with music written by Mike and text by Kate. The band perform mainly in the Devon and Cornwall area and in 2006 they performed several times at the London Jazz Festival.

More recent projects include Fine 'n Yellow, a piece written in celebration of the lives of Margery and John Styles, two friends who were founders of the Westbrook newsletter, The Smith's Academy Informer. The piece was recorded and CD copies were given to subscribers of the newsletter. It has since had a general CD release. Kate and Mike were once again joined by saxophonists Pete Whyman and Chris Biscoe. Steve Berry played bass and Jon Hiseman featured on drums. The piece received its first public performance in a concert that marked Mike Westbrook's 75th birthday at Kings Place in London on 2 April 2011. The musicians at the performance with Kate and Mike Westbrook were Chris Biscoe, Chris Caldwell and Andy Tweed, saxophones; Karen Street, saxophone and accordion; Steve Berry, bass; and Simon Pearson, drums. Another work was premiered at this concert, The Serpent Hit, which used the above musicians but without Steve Berry. The Serpent Hit, like Fine 'n Yellow, has texts by Kate Westbrook and music by Mike Westbrook. Yet another project finds Mike working with some of the finest west country musicians in The Mike Westbrook Big Band. They play a number of Westbrook originals and Mike's arrangements of pieces by Duke Ellington and others.

In 2012, the trio released Three into Wonderfull, an album digitally re-mastered by Jon Hiseman, presenting a cross-section of the group's recordings over three decades as well as previously unreleased material from the mid-1990s.

The Mike Westbrook Big Band, also now known as The Uncommon Orchestra, released an album called A Bigger Show in 2016. Recorded in concert at the Barnfield Theatre (Exeter) by Jon Hiseman and Miles Ashton, it is a reworking of the Waxeywork Show originally performed by The Village Band. The 21-member line-up include long-term Westbrook collaborators such as Dave Holdsworth and Alan Wakeman, as well as younger, rising musicians.

Mike Westbrook was 80 years old in 2016 and as part of the celebrations recorded his first solo piano album for 40 years, entitled PARIS. It was recorded live over two nights at Hélène Aziza's art gallery in Paris by drummer Jon Hiseman.

HP StorageWorks

The HPE Storage (formerly HP StorageWorks) is a portfolio of HPE storage products, includes online storage, nearline storage, storage networking, archiving, de-duplication, and storage software. HP and their predecessor, the Compaq Corporation, has developed some of industry-first storage technologies to simplify network storage. HP is a proponent of converged storage, a storage architecture that combines storage and compute into a single entity.

2011 products
HP Storage announced in August 2011:
 * HPE 3PAR
 * Utility Storage - shifts workloads, boost utilization by logically pooling capacity
 * P10000, Peer Motion Software - refreshes/maintains storage, seeking zero application downtime
 * and expanded its Converged Storage portfolio with the first federated storage capability to span from entry to high end systems and is available for both HP LeftHand and HP 3PAR storage systems.

Tape libraries

 * HP Storage ESL G3 Tape Libraries
 * HP Storage MSL Tape Libraries
 * HP StorageWorks 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader
 * HP Storage 12000 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway
 * HP Storage 9000 Virtual Library System
 * HP StoreOnce D2D Backup System (various models)

Storage networking
Many models have been rebadged from Brocade Communications Systems, Cisco, Emulex, and QLogic.

Storage software

 * HP StoreOnce Deduplication
 * HP Storage Essentials
 * HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring

PolyServe
PolyServe was founded in 2004 by Michael Callahan, serving as chief technology officer, and Carter George, serving as Vice-President, as "a software company in Portland, specializing in database and file serving."

HP, when it bought Compaq, acquired its StorageWorks; HP, when it bought PolyServe, placed its 100+ employees within StorageWorks.

An example of PolyServe's value is that a large British government agency which had 14 idle backup servers
 * dropped the number to two, even though "PolyServe doesn't require the passive nodes, but he maintains them as extra protection" and
 * reduced "failover time from five minutes to 30 seconds .. by 90% the number of users who lose connections during a failover."

Template talk:United States congressional committees

Formatting
The formatting of this long template often looks very awkward on the committee pages. Can someone more experienced make it either smaller in height, or break it off into smaller and separate Senate and house versions? -- Alfoor 03:44, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I reverted it to its original design. The long templates doesn't work considering how short some of the articles are. -- tomf688 {talk} 03:49, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

addittion of a new committee: Judge Thomas Porteous
Hello all,

I've added a new Senate commttee to this t/p. It is an Impeachment Trial committee that is currently trying Judge Thomas Porteous of Louisiana. The was created on March 17th (see: ) and held its first meeting on April 13 (see: ). It is listed on the Senate's website under "Special, Select, and Other" committees; see. I suspect this would be a tempory addition as the trial committee should start its work in August and end in September. - Thanks, Hoshie 03:32, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Memberships of previous Congresses
This is not directly related to the template, but since it involves the committee assignments, I thought I'd put it here. The new committee members have not been added, and the committees, such as the Homeland Security and Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs committees, show the 112th Congress members under the '113th Congress', without adding the new members. In some cases, this means listing old chairman, like Joe Lieberman, and in others, the ratio of the committees mean there are more Republicans than Democrats, which I know is not the case. This should be addressed, since there were only a month since th assignments have been announced, and this problem should be corrected. 74.69.11.229 (talk) 16:36, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Committee assignments in the House were just finalized this week. Press releases annoucing future appointments notwithstanding, the committee rosters aren't official until ratified by the full House. The Senate hasn't even considered it's organizing resolutions for the committees yet. They will be updated as soon as practical.DCmacnut < > 23:33, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

 * I think we ought to list the old committee assignments as well as the new ones. For example,  in United States Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, I suggest it be formatted as:

== Members ==

=== 112th Congress ===

The Committee was chaired by Democrat Patty Murray of Washington, and the Ranking Member was Republican Richard Burr of North Carolina.

Source:

=== 113th Congress ===

The Committee is chaired by Independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont, and the Ranking Member is Republican Richard Burr of North Carolina.

Mostly because this is a historical encyclopedia.—GoldRingChip 18:13, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * There is no value to this. There are too many Congresses worth of information to be added, and just listing a line-up emphasizes the membership on the last day of a Congress over that on any earlier day. That is to say that members who left committees will not be reflected, even if, like Dan Inouye did for the 112th, they served on the committee for the overwhelming majority of a Congress, but left near the end. Giving lists of lists of members does virtually nothing to expand readers' ability to know and understand the topic and brings us into WP:ISNOT territory. -Rrius (talk) 20:11, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree with Rrius. This is information overkill on the committee articles, and it becomes. Committee assignmetns are much more notable on the members' articles, or in a possible "list of committee members from the XX Committee". But as is pointed out that is a vast amount of data, and any such list would likely be incomplete from the start. The committee articles should list committee members as they currently stand.DCmacnut < > 23:33, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * You two make very good points. So we'll keep just the current memberships.—GoldRingChip  02:28, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Mary Mary

Mary Mary is an American urban contemporary gospel duo composed of sisters Erica Atkins-Campbell (born April 29, 1972) and Trecina Atkins-Campbell (born May 1, 1974). Formed in 1998, Mary Mary was launched into mainstream recognition following the release of their best-selling debut album, Thankful (2000), which contained the hit single "Shackles (Praise You)". Their followup album Incredible (2002), reached number one on the Top Gospel Albums chart. Their self-titled third album, Mary Mary (2005), which contains themes the public interpreted as a channel to the group's experience,. That album also contains the worldwide hits "Heaven", "The Real Party", and "Yesterday".

Their fourth album The Sound (2008) spawned the number-one singles "Get Up" and "God in Me". In 2011, they released their fifth studio album "Something Big" and followed up with a compilation album "Go Get It" in 2012 before going on hiatus. In March 2012, they premiered their own television series, Mary Mary, on WE tv.

Mary Mary has sold more than eight million records worldwide to date. The duo have been nominated for eleven Grammy Awards, winning four times including once Best Gospel Performance and for Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album. The duo are often credited for broadening the fan base of urban contemporary gospel in the 2000s by introducing elements of soul music, hip hop, funk and jazz. The group's name is inspired by two famous Marys from the Bible: Mary, mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene. They also performed at the White House in 2005.

Early years
The Atkins sisters, born Erica Monique and Trecina Evette, grew up in a large family with seven siblings in Inglewood, California. Their mother, Thomasina Atkins, is an evangelist and choir director at the Church of God in Christ. Their father, Eddie A. Atkins, was also a member of the Church of God in Christ, and a youth counselor, before he died in 2013.

Due to their proximity in age, the two sisters grew up closer to one another than to any of their siblings: Darrell Atkins (born 1965, the only living boy – the second boy died as a child), Maliea Atkins (born 1967), Erica (born 1972), Tina (born 1974), Delisa Atkins-Brown (born 1977), Thomasina Atkins (born 1978), Alana Atkins-Jamison (born 1985), and Shanta Atkins (born 1986). Later, they would work creatively with over half of their siblings; Thomasina, Alana, Delisa and Shanta Atkins all sing background on Mary Mary's albums and during stage performances and Delisa was originally a member of the group but left before they started recording professionally due to pursuing college. Eventually, all eight Atkins children united on the Bobby Jones Gospel show on BET.

During this time, Erica and Trecina entered the world of church choirs, traveling gospel shows, and television productions. The sisters enrolled at El Camino College to study voice. There they encountered the division between rigorous academic study of music versus the popular musical world. "We had to study classical and sing arias, which was fine," Erica told Times, "but the teachers would tell us if we sang anything else it would damage our instrument." In 1995 the two toured with Michael Matthews' traveling gospel shows, Mama I'm Sorry and Sneaky. Each sister subsequently toured as a backup singer for a variety of R&B acts, including Brandy.

1999–2001: Thankful
After meeting producer Warryn Campbell, a publishing deal was reached with music conglomerate EMI. This led to a series of their songs being on movie soundtracks; they wrote "Dance" and performed it with Robin S. for the soundtrack to the 1998 film Dr. Dolittle, they performed "Let Go, Let God" for The Prince of Egypt, and several of their songs were recorded by 702. However, the sister's profile really started to rise in the gospel industry when their songs "Time To Change" and "Yeah" were recorded by Yolanda Adams on Mountain High... Valley Low. During this time, Mary Mary as a musical entity formed.

The duo was subsequently signed to Columbia Records and decided to perform under the name Mary Mary, honoring Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene. They were the first gospel act to record for the industry giant Columbia Records since Tramaine Hawkins in the mid-1990s. Their first single "Shackles (Praise You)" became a crossover hit; enticing gospel, R&B, and pop audiences. It ranked Top 5 in R&B, Top 10 for pop hit, and peaked at number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It became the first gospel song in five years to crack the R&B top ten and gained wide exposure on MTV. Their debut album Thankful was released in May 2000; it peaked at number one on the Gospel Album Chart and climbed to 59 on the overall Top 200 chart. Overall, the album was certified 2X Platinum for shipments of two million copies in the United States, it went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album. While the second single "I Sings" features rapper BB Jay, both were hits in the UK and Europe. Their only Top 10 UK hit to date is "Shackles (Praise You)" which reached number five on the UK Singles Chart in June 2000. The follow-up "I Sings" peaked at UK number 32.

2002: Incredible
With their second album, Incredible, the duo was able to maintain their success. Soon after its release in July 2002, it was number one on the Gospel Albums Chart and entered the Top 20 of the Top 200 album chart. Incredible was later certified Gold for selling 500,000 copies in the United States. The album's singles were "In The Morning" and "I Try". While this album charted higher than their debut, sales were lower. The duo attributed the lower sales to less aggressive promotion due to label switch-overs and the advent of music piracy. In November 2003, they released their biography Transparent.

2005–06: Mary Mary and A Mary Mary Christmas
After taking time off to have children, Mary Mary released their self-titled third album Mary Mary in July 2005. It became the duo's first album to enter the Top 10 on Billboard and was later certified Gold for selling in excess of 500,000 copies. The first single, "Heaven," contained a sample from seventies song "Want Ads" from soul trio the Honey Cone's. "Heaven" made history and broke chart records as it had an unprecedented nine-week run at number one on Billboard's Gospel Radio Chart. Their second single, "The Real Party (Trevon's Birthday)," debuted at number 43 on the Gospel Radio Chart with a third, "Yesterday," becoming a hit on the Adult R&B Chart and peaking at number 10. On the R&B/Hip Hop Chart, the song became their second biggest hit since "Shackles (Praise You)" in 2000 reached number 50. The album's final single, "Believer," indicated testimonies of being a Christian and hit number 33 on the Gospel Radio chart.

2007–10: Sunday Best and The Sound
On October 21, 2008, they released their fifth studio album, The Sound. The lead single, "Get Up," was released digitally via ITunes on July 15, 2008. Mary Mary's The Sound achieved great success in the mainstream market and sold over 37,000 copies in its first week, making it their best charting album to date. It debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200, number two on the US R&B chart, and topped both gospel and country music charts. The album held the number one position on the Billboard's Gospel Album Chart for over six months since its release. Warryn Campbell produced the album and collaborated with many professionals: Kierra Sheard-Kelly, David Banner, Marvin Winans, Daryl Coley, Andrae Crouch, The Rance Allen Group, Dorinda Clark-Cole, Joe Ligon, Walter Hawkins, Tramaine Hawkins, and Karen Clark-Sheard. In spring 2009, "God in Me" achieved crossover success by reaching number five on the R&B/Hip-Hop Chart and number one on the Hot Dance Club Play.

2010–12: Something Big, Go Get It, and reality show
In 2009, Mary Mary began recording their sixth studio album. In April 2010, they released a book entitled, Be U via Simon & Schuster. In the fall of 2010, they released "Walking" as the lead single from their forthcoming album. Originally titled OMG, the project was renamed Something Big after the success of R&B singer Usher's hit single, "OMG" in 2010. Their album was released on March 29, 2011. Mary Mary debuted the title track "Something Big" on the BET's Celebration of Gospel 2011.

In efforts of promoting "Go Get It," Mary Mary announced a Go Get It Tour. The tour was in ten different cities across the United States, beginning in Jacksonville, Florida, on October 25, and ending in Hampton, Virginia, on November 17. Supported acts included: Isaac Carree, VaShawn Mitchell, Anthony and Group Therapy, and Sunday's Best finalist Jessica Reedy and Anita Wilson.

2014–present: Group hiatus and solo projects
In 2014, Erica Campbell released a solo album titled Help, which won Best Gospel Album at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards. Her follow-up album titled Help 2.0 was released in March 2015. Erica also hosts a morning radio show, ''Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell'' owned by Radio One with comedian Arlen "Griff" Griffin. In May 2015, Tina released her debut solo album It's Personal. The album coincides with the release of her memoir I Need a Day to Pray.

In July 2016, Mary Mary released a new single called "Back to You" from the upcoming Ben-Hur movie soundtrack. In August 2017, Tina released a deluxe edition of her first album, titled It's Still Personal. In 2018 Mary Mary made their reunion as a duo on the 2018 Stellar Awards on TV One, performing a medley of their hits.

Erica Campbell and husband announced their upcoming series premiering on TVOne. This announcement came on the heels of Mary Mary ending their WeTv reality show.

MaryMary, accompanied by the Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles, performed "Lift Every Voice and Sing" at Super Bowl LVI and had a tribute to honor Black History Month gospel music 2022 by Faith City Music, Tim Bowman Jr. and Kim Burrell.

Mary Mary performed at a special Easter Verzuz in 2022, competing against gospel duo BeBe & CeCe Winans.

Personal lives
Both sisters are married to musicians with the same last name: Warryn Campbell and Teddy Campbell. Tina married Teddy in 2000. Together, they have four children: Laiah Simone (born September 9, 2003), daughter Meela Jane (born June 11, 2007), son Glendon Theodore II (born October 20, 2009),  and son Santana (born August 4, 2012).

Erica married their record producer Warryn on May 26, 2001. They have three children: Krista Nicole (born September 13, 2004), Warryn III (born April 24, 2010), and Zaya Monique (born January 24, 2012). The following year, Warryn was ordained as a pastor.

Battle of Reynogüelén (1536)

The Battle of Reynogüelén took place between Spanish conquistadors and Mapuche soldiers, thought to have occurred near the confluence of the Ñuble and Itata Rivers, in Chile. This battle is an antecedent of the Arauco War.

History
Diego de Almagro, after reaching the Mapocho Valley in 1536, sent Gómez de Alvarado with an expedition of 200 Spaniards, 100 cavalry and 100 foot, with a large group of Indian auxiliaries, to the south of Chile with the mission of exploring the country to the Strait of Magellan. The group advanced without encountering much resistance from the Promaucaes. After crossing the Itata River they were intercepted by a numerous contingent of Mapuches, perhaps as many as 24,000, armed with many bows and pikes.

The Mapuches launched a number of assaults which were successfully repulsed by the Spanish. Frustrated by these reverses and by disorientation caused by the horses, iron weapons, and armour of the conquistadors (all of which were previously unknown to the Mapuches), the natives retreated, leaving many dead and more than one hundred prisoners. The Spanish lost only two men but others were hurt.

Discouraged by the ferocity of the Mapuches, and the apparent lack of gold and silver in these lands, Gómez de Alvarado decided to return and inform Almagro what had happened. This battle had a strong influence on Almagro's entire expedition, and motivated, in part, its full retreat the following year to Peru.

Shabda

Shabda (शब्द, ), is the Sanskrit word for "speech sound". In Sanskrit grammar, the term refers to an utterance in the sense of linguistic performance.

History
In classical Indian philosophy of language, the grammarian Katyayana stated that shabda ("speech") is eternal (nitya), as is artha "meaning", and that they share a mutual co-relation. According to Patanjali, the permanent aspect of shabda is sphoṭa ("meaning"), while dhvani ("sound, acoustics") is ephemeral to shabda.

Om, or Aum, a sacred syllable of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism, is considered to be the first resonating vibrational sound within an individual being. It also denotes the non-dualistic universe as a whole. In Buddhism, Om corresponds to the crown chakra and white light.

Bhartrihari, on the other hand, held a shabda-advaita position, identifying shabda as indivisible, and unifying the notions of cognition and linguistic performance, which is ultimately identical to Brahman. Bhartrhari recognised two entities, both of which may be referred to as shabda. One entity is the underlying cause of the articulated sounds, while the other entity is the functionality that is used to express meaning. Bhartrhari thus rejected the difference posited between the ontological and the linguistic by logicians. His concept of shabda-brahman which identified linguistic performance and creation itself ran parallel to the Greek concept of logos.

Language philosophy in Medieval India was dominated by the dispute of the "naturalists" to the Mimamsa school, notably defended by Kumarila, who held that shabda designates the actual phonetic utterance, and the Sphota school, defended by Mandana Mishra, which identifies sphota and shabda as a mystical "indivisible word-whole".

Hinduism
Śabda (शब्द) means relying on word, testimony of past or present reliable experts, specifically the shruti, Vedas. Hiriyanna explains Sabda-pramana as a concept which means reliable expert testimony. The schools of Hinduism which consider it epistemically valid suggest that a human being needs to know numerous facts, and with the limited time and energy available, he can learn only a fraction of those facts and truths directly. He must rely on others, his parent, family, friends, teachers, ancestors and kindred members of society to rapidly acquire and share knowledge and thereby enrich each other's lives. This means of gaining proper knowledge is either spoken or written, but through Sabda (words). The reliability of the source is important, and legitimate knowledge can only come from the Sabda of reliable sources. The disagreement between the schools of Hinduism has been on how to establish reliability. Some schools, such as Carvaka, state that this is never possible, and therefore Sabda is not a proper pramana. Other schools debate means to establish reliability.

Sikhism
In Sikhism the term Shabad (Gurmukhi: ਸਬਦ) has two primary meanings.

The first context of the term is to refer to a hymn or paragraph or sections of the Holy Text that appears in Guru Granth Sahib, the main holy scripture of the Sikhs. The Guru Granth Sahib is organised by chapters of ragas, with each chapter containing many shabads of that raga. The first Shabad in Guru Granth Sahib is the Mool Mantar. The script used for the Shabad is Gurmukhi. Shabad is the term also used to refer to hymns within other Sikh scriptures, like Deh Siva Var Mohe. Shabad Vani is devotional singing of hymns from Sikh scriptures.

The second use of the term Shabad in Sikhism is for the holy name of God, Waheguru.

Other faiths and philosophies
Esoterically, Shabd is the “Sound Current vibrating in all creation. It can be heard by the inner ears.” Variously referred to as the Audible Life Stream, Inner Sound, Sound Current or Word in English, the Shabd is the esoteric essence of God which is available to all human beings, according to the Shabd path teachings of Sant Mat, Surat Shabd Yoga, Eckankar, Vardankar (a split-off from Eckankar), and Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness.

1st Mariner Arena → Baltimore Arena – Arena's name was changed August 1, 2013. Bes2224 (talk) 05:33, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Support While a recent rename isn't always a good reason to move due to WP:COMMONNAME, Wikipedia generally doesn't use sponsor names for event venues when the name periodically changes. When St James' Park was renamed Sports Direct Arena, we didn't move the article, which is good, because the was changed back. Compare also to City of Manchester Stadium. While there are occasional COMMONNAME exceptions, such as Emirates Stadium, it seems wise to observe the sponsor-neutral principle here. Note that this also doesn't apply to stadia who only have a sponsor name, such as Rio Tinto Stadium. --BDD (talk) 16:44, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

No consensus to move. After much-extended time for discussion, there is no consensus for a move at this time. Happily, however, this is a fluid situation, and there will likely be news reporting in the relatively short term more clearly announcing a name change. Local news stations do love reporting on local naming issues. BD2412 T 04:02, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Royal Farms Arena → Baltimore Arena – Social media for the arena yesterday scrubbed the name of the "Chicken Box" from PFPs, header images etc. It is reasonable to conclude the naming rights deal has ended with the arena's closure for renovation. However, I'm not aware of a local news article to that effect. Aresef (talk) 04:29, 7 March 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Amakuru (talk) 10:23, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

House of Normandy

The House of Normandy (Maison de Nouormandie ) designates the noble family which originates from the Duchy of Normandy and whose members were dukes of Normandy, counts of Rouen, as well as kings of England following the Norman conquest of England. It lasted until Stephen of the French House of Blois seized the Duchy of Normandy in 1135. The house emerged from the union between the Viking Rollo (first ruler of Normandy) and Poppa of Bayeux, a West Frankish noblewoman. William the Conqueror and his heirs down through 1135 were members of this dynasty.

After that it was disputed between William's grandchildren, Matilda, whose husband Geoffrey was the founder of the House of Plantagenet, and Stephen of the House of Blois (or Blesevin dynasty).

The Norman counts of Rouen were:
 * Rollo, 911–927
 * William Longsword, 927–942

The Norman dukes of Normandy were:
 * Richard I, 942–996
 * Richard II, 996–1027
 * Richard III, 1026–1027
 * Robert I, 1027–1035
 * William, 1035–1066 (became King of England as William the Conqueror)

The Norman monarchs of England and Normandy were:
 * William the Conqueror, 1066–1087
 * William II, 1087–1100 (not Duke of Normandy)
 * Robert II, 1087–1106 (not King of England)
 * Henry I, 1100–1135; 1106–1135
 * William Adelin, 1120 (not King of England)
 * Matilda, 1135–1153
 * Stephen (non-agnatic; a member of the House of Blois), 1135–1154

Norman Count of Flanders:
 * William Clito (r. 1127–1128), son of Robert Curthose, great-grandson of Baldwin V, designated by Louis VI of France

Richard I had a daughter, Emma of Normandy, who was Queen Consort through her two marriages to Æthelred the Unready and Cnut the Great.

Baw Baw frog

The Baw Baw frog (Philoria frosti) is a critically endangered species of Australian frog as categorised on the IUCN Red List and listed under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act (1988), endemic to Baw Baw National Park. It has suffered a decline in population, mostly due to infection caused by chytrid fungus. Zoos Victoria has undertaken a breeding program to ensure survival of the species which commenced in 2010, and in October 2018 successfully collected the first eggs laid in captivity.

Taxonomy and etymology
The species was described as Philoria frosti by Walter Baldwin Spencer in 1901, honouring Charles Frost, an Australian naturalist. The specimens used in the species description (type series) were provided by Frost, an amateur herpetologist, who recovered five individuals that had been regurgitated by a tiger snake Notechis scutatus.

Description
Adult length is between 42 and 55 mm. Adults are dark brown and often have brown to dark brown, yellow flecked bellies. The Baw Baw Frog has a prominent parotoid gland on the shoulders. Unlike most frogs the Baw Baw frog as unwebbed toes. The species is confined to a small region of safeguarded mountain gully habitat, situated at an altitude ranging from 1000 to 1300 meters, located on the Mt Baw Baw Plateau in the Central Highlands of Victoria, Australia. At hatching, the tadpoles are creamy white and unpigmented, acquiring some colouration and eye pigmentation as they mature. Tadpoles have large yolk sacs and residual mouths, and do not feed until metamorphosis. In contrast to the typical behavior of tadpoles in other frog species, these developing tadpoles do not swim or feed; rather, they rely on nourishment from a yolk sac. Metamorphlings have different colouration to the adults. During winter, they inhabit the space beneath the snow and exhibit higher activity levels compared to many other frogs during colder periods. Egg-laying occurs post-snowmelt, typically in mossy nests or within various crevices, occasionally as deep as one meter below the surface among rocks.

Habitat and reproduction
The breeding environment depends on moist soil saturation and underground water flow beneath plant cover, fallen timber, and rocks, with breeding taking place on a yearly basis. Egg clusters typically consist of 50 to 185 eggs, appearing white and lacking pigmentation. Hatching usually commences approximately 10 days after the eggs are laid and may continue for a duration of up to 5 days.

Declining population
Population estimates have reduced from 15,000 to 10,000 breeding males in 1983 to around 750, or according to Frogs Victoria less than 250 individuals. The decrease is likely caused by chytridiomycosis, which is attributed to the chytrid fungus. This disease can has been related to the diminish of many amphibian populations throughout the world.

Captive breeding program
In order to save the frog from extinction, a self-sustaining captive breeding program was commenced, with Zoos Victoria taking the lead. When the program was started in 2010 almost nothing was known about managing the frogs in captivity.

Zoos Victoria has been researching the effects of food sources and temperature are larvae's growth development. The larvae they raised was at either a low temperature of 12 degrees Celsius or a high temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with or without substrate that regulated food availability. The researchers measured both body size and the duration until metamorphosis. The research concluded that changing the temperature and food sources could increase the birth rate.

An artificial environment was created in a shipping container named "the Baw Baw Bunker" and the first eggs were collected from the wild in 2011 but were unviable. In 2013, 96 metamorphs were raised from collected eggs. Eleven females were captured from the wild in 2016 for the first time, and on 22 October 2018 the first eggs were laid in captivity. Researchers planned to place the eggs on a chytrid fungus-free part of Mt Baw Baw within four weeks.

In November 2020, at which time it was estimated that about 1,000 of the frogs remained in the wild, 25 male and 25 female adult frogs were released with radio transmitters on their backs in various specially selected areas on Mt Baw Baw. Researchers hope that the release of the adult frogs, the first time this has been tried, would create a more robust population of the frogs more quickly than by releasing eggs alone.

Taurus (group)

Taurus was an American female Crunk&B trio, consisting of Doma, Notation & Jazz, that became slightly known for their heavily Salt-N-Pepa-influenced debut single "Taurus Here" in 2005. In January 2006, the trio made their first public television appearances on the now-defunct musical series, Showtime at the Apollo and Soul Train, to perform their single, "Taurus Here".

In 2007, the group was requested by the New Jersey Nets to sing the national anthem. That same year, the group released another single titled, "Get Out My Bed", which featured production by Mr. Collipark and guest rap verses from rapper, Hurricane Chris. By the year's end, Taurus had departed from their label, Landmine Entertainment, and their self-titled debut album was shelved.

Talk:Lees Ferry

Lee's vs Lees vs Lee
According to this weblog post Lee's Ferry is sometimes spelt as Lees Ferry or Lee Ferry; Lees Ferry is the official name but the version with an apostrophe is more common. I've added the alternate spellings to the intro but changed other occurrences to Lee's Ferry for consistency. Andy Smith (talk) 14:47, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

I disagree strongly. Haven't spent a great deal of time at Marble Canyon and the Grand Canyon, although misspelled, "Lees Ferry" is much more common, and is the official name (http://www.nps.gov/glca/planyourvisit/lees-ferry.htm). I've changed all the Lee's Ferry to Lees Ferry for consistency AND accuracy. But I don't know how to change the Title!? Timbruc007 (talk) 21:10, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

2nd Photo
Is the second photo necessary and/or does it offer anything to the article?

I second that statement. It looks more to me like someone is showing off rather than posting a constructive photo. I say delete it. 71.9.106.65 03:45, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Steel Wire Cable Basket
The mention of a steel wire cable basket for use of park services employees I believe is referring to the structure used by the USGS to maintain the "rating table" for the water measuring station. The rating table is the relationship between river height (measured directly at the site) to flow, which is the measurement of interest.

annual flow of the Colorado River
The phrase "annual flow of the Colorado River" makes no sense. Total annual volume is a metric of intrest and is perhaps what the author meant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.27.163.132 (talk) 18:28, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Carl Rackemann

Carl Gray Rackemann (born 3 June 1960) is a former Queensland and Australian cricketer. He was a fast bowler in 12 Test matches, 52 One Day Internationals and 167 first-class cricket matches in a career spanning 1979/80 to 1995/96.

International career
Rackemann, a well built fast bowler, was born in Wondai, Queensland. He made his Test debut versus England at Brisbane in 1982 and was consistently picked for the national side, mainly for One Day Internationals, until 1985. He was the leading wicket taker during the 1984-85 tour of India.

He signed up to play in the rebel tours of South Africa (1985–86 and 1986–87), thereby becoming ineligible to be a member of the official Australian team during that time.

Rackemann came back into the Australian team in 1989, being picked for that year's Ashes tour to England. In the 2nd innings of the Test against New Zealand in Perth in 1989–90, he achieved the bowling analysis of 31 overs, 21 maidens, 23 runs and 1 wicket.

He was well known for being a poor batsman, making only 53 runs in his 14 test innings, with a highest score of 15 not out. Ironically, in spite of this reputation, Rackemann's last test innings in 1991 helped Australia to retain the Ashes, his stubborn 102-ball second-innings 9 helping Australia secure the draw that they needed in the third test at Sydney.

Queensland career
Rackemann held the Queensland state record of 425 wickets until overtaken by Michael Kasprowicz. Rackemann's last game for Queensland was the 1994-95 Sheffield Shield Final. Queensland won this match and the Shield for the first time. This was a relief for Rackemann as he had played in four of Queensland's previous final defeats.

He played English county cricket for Surrey 2nd XI in 1981 and Surrey in 1995 and was briefly recalled to the Australian side in 1995 for their tour of the West Indies due to a fast bowling injury crisis.

After his playing career, he went on to the national coaching position for the Zimbabwean national cricket team for two seasons from 2000. He has now returned to farming in Queensland and is also an after dinner speaker. He has inspired an expatriate Australian cricket team in London "Carl Rackemann All Stars (CRAS)"

Politics
Rackemann stood as a Katter's Australian Party candidate in the electoral district of Nanango during the 2012 Queensland state election. His attempt was unsuccessful.

[ Vote here]  (49/6/3) ending 14:47 07 Oct 2005 (UTC)

– Nicholas first edited on Wikipedia in December 2004, and has been reasonably active in editing since June 2005. He impressed me with his general cluefulness and grasp of how the Wikipedia community ticks very early on. He works very well on a variety of articles, particularly WikiProject Scientology (he's an ex-member of the CoS and has been great value filling in articles on how the substance of the religion actually looks to a member). He's dealt with conflict admirably, having comported himself very well in ArbCom cases involving Ed Poor and AI. He's also a regular and a chanop on #wikipedia. His edit count is 719, which some here would consider low, but I think his edits are quality. And the most important thing is that he is extremely clueful and would handle the mop well and with good judgement. I said I'd nominate him after three months' active, so here you go ;-) David Gerard 14:47, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * 2) Strong support - Nicholas Turnbull has all the qualities needed to be a team player. He's more concerned with the editing, and with the quality of his edits, than arguing over what he edits/how he edits, etc. Off his own back, he revived the continuing-to-be-a-success Mediation Cabal, managed to avoid burning out on the AI arbcom case and the XAL situation with the Bogdanoff Affair. Nicholas contributes tirelessly and unceasingly to the good of the project as a whole; keeping an eye on the minutae, without losing sight of the bigger picture. I can't really do much more to convince the skeptics of his worthiness, and as I know he doesn't view adminship as a big deal, I know he isn't going to want me to say any more.

Nicholas has made uniformly good contributions, is level-headed, and frankly sums up "extreme awesomitude" quite well.

Nicholas has been keen to learn the policies, to work toward mediation when he finds conflict, and to improve the project.  I see no negatives at all, and he keeps his cool and, when he gets frustrated (and we all do), doesn't lash out.  An excellent candidate and a good egg.  Geogre 22:16, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Slow and steady wins the race, so I think he'd make a great admin and possibly a mediator as well. He's also man enough NOT to quit the project if his first nomination fails. FWIW, he's the one who convinced me to start listening to UninvitedCompany and to chill out more and respect consensus. We need more newcomers who can 'tame' us oldtimers.

 * 1) Oppose. 700 edits and 233 articles is simply not enough, IMO. Give it some time, maybe a month or two? ≈ jossi ≈ 21:00, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I tried nominating him once on IRC, and he said no. I also think he should wait a while. --WikiFanaticTalk Contribs 17:53, 30 Sep 2005 (CDT)
 * 1) Neutral .  I am one of the ne'er-do-wells who believes that one of the requirements of adminship has to be extended participation and commitment to the project.  Both to gather an understanding of the community's processes and expectations and to provide the community with a chance to get to know and understand the candidate.  I have no firm threshold for edit counts, and tend to adjust my opinions based on the breadth of a candidates participation, the length of time with the project, and the balance of substantial vs. trivial edits.  However, the editting record I have before me is really not what I would generally consider sufficient to meet my standards (and not helped by the fact 45% of your edits are marked as minor).  The argument being made here, is that this deficiency should be offset by his other activities on Wikipedia's behalf (which are of course invisible to me, though I trust the descriptions offered), and because he is argued to be of an unusually good sort.  I am not strongly moved by either of these arguments.  To the first, while I am glad that he works on IRC and email meditiation, I don't really see adminship as a reward for hard work, and I'm not sure these things substitute for participation in the project itself.  To the second, well if he is a good sort (and I have no reason to dispute that), then he would still be a good sort later on with more experience, right?  And it would be easier for all to see.  This comment reads like an oppose, and for the most part it is, but I am going to stick it in neutral for now while I take some more time to consider this.

 * Oppose. With all due respect to Nicholas and his supporters, I just can't support the idea of making someone a janitor before they've shown they understand their way around the system.  From my point of view, becoming an admin is not a reward for being a good guy (though that certainly helps), it's an acknowledgement that someone understands how the community works and is prepared to help clean up the messes that inevitably occur.  Though I believe Nicholas would approach this with the best of intentions, I'm not prepared to promote everyone that comes here eager and with good intentions.  Experience and breadth of participation are in some sense the easiest of all objections to overcome, and I see little harm in delaying this nom for a while.  If this nom fails (which is far from obvious right now), I would still encourage Nicholas to keep up what he is doing and to be involved in the administrative areas of Wikipedia.  I have faith you'll make important contributions either way.  Dragons flight 06:32, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose uh, it shouldn't be too hard to make another 300 or so edits...  Grue  05:39, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose for now while I strongly trust David Gerard's opinion here, I still think Nicholas is a tad too green for admin. Sorry Nick, maybe in a month or two.  ALKIVAR ™[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 07:00, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose. I had at least twice as many edits on my first RFA candidacy and I was shot down for having too few.  I don't see why this should be different.  PedanticallySpeaking 17:21, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I suggest to the bureaucrats that this vote be discounted as sour grapes - David Gerard 23:17, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I suggest you let them do their job. If this had been phrased "too green" or somesuch there would be no problem.  brenneman (t) <sup style="color:#2f4f4f;">(c)  03:31, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) A lost cause vote, but I do think that while he seems a strong future candidate, current lack of experience (and not just simple low edit count) should mean that adminship is in the future, and not yet. Filiocht | The kettle's on 08:01, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Neutral
 * Neutral until he gets off his lazy butt and answers the questions. --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 15:29, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Comments
 * 1) Oppose. Neutral I have been considering this RfA all day now, and have finally reached my decision. Let me make this as clear as possible — I do not have any particular threshold for number of edits, nor do I have any amount of time necessary to become an admin. In addition, I beleive that NicholasTurnbull is a great editor and Wikipedian, and will make a great administrator. Also, I truly appreciate his efforts off the wiki in helping out Wikipedia. However, I truly feel that his amount of experience actually on Wikipedia during the past four months is insufficient for becoming an administrator. Perusing through his edits, there are many minor edits (45%, according to DragonsFlight) that involve copyediting; in addition, over 1/8 of his edits (97 of them) are to the user namespace. Also, there are few vandalism fighting edits — though I do see occasional groups of four or five edits reverting vandalism, I see no evidence that NicholasTurnbull has done extensive RC patrolling. In addition, the majority of the Wikipedia: namespace edits involve either RfA or the Mediation Cabal. This indicates, in my opinion, that NicholasTurnbull has not been completing admin tasks yet, and may not understand all of the Wikipedia principles. Combined with a relatively limited time on Wikipedia (just under four months) and an extremely limited number of edits, I feel that NicholasTurnbull is neither experienced enough nor ready for adminship. However, if this RfA doesn't pass, I will gladly support him in the future, as he has my full confidence. Flcelloguy | A note?  | Desk |  WS 22:27, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * You point out that he "has not been completing admin tasks yet." Considering that he's not an admin yet, I don't understand the concern. --Michael Snow 23:20, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * After more consideration, I've moved my vote to neutral. What I meant by admin tasks was participation in Afd, RC patrol, etc. While I don't feel that participation in those activities are necessary to become a wonderful administrator (which I know Nicholas will become), I feel that in cases of candidates with a relatively modest number of edits, involvement in those activities is helpful. I don't think I should oppose him, since I feel that he is a great Wikipedian and will become a great administrator; I simply agree with Dragons Flight and feel that he needs more experience. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk |  WS 14:31, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * For whatever it's worth, I'd normally agree with Ficelloguy here. What matters to me most is time on project and number of interactions with jerks than specific number of edits, although it's hard to have such interactions without chalking up the edits, because being an admin is just a species of editor; it is the species that gets into disputes and closing junk and deleting things.  I also look for a user's authorship of article edits as an important thing.  It's just that Nicholas started off more aware of the dynamics than usual and has, in fact, been plunging himself into the worse interaction space we've got.  He has been calm and reasonable thoughout.  He has also been writing big chunks and getting few edits because of few revisions.  I.e. there is a skew to this particular user that sets him apart from others with the same numbers that satisfied my own standards, anyway. Geogre 03:16, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) On the Support side of Neutral. He has done well in my personal experience, and he meets some (but not all) of my standards. --Maru (talk) 00:55, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, I'll admit it. I have a mild case of editcountitis. However, I do believe that NicholasT would wield the mop and bucket well, but I'm not going to Support. Neutral. --WikiFanaticTalk Contribs 20:24, 1 Oct 2005 (CDT)
 * According to WP:KT (and if anyone cares), NicholasTurnbull has 742 total edits. Complete count here. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk |  WS 14:52, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Don't start the editcountitis thing and oppose him soley for his editcount please. I should also mention that Nick makes a lot of big edits, as opposed to lots of smaller ones. So he's actually done more work then a lot of us. --Phroziac(talk)[[Image:Flag_of_Phyzech_Republic.svg|25px]] 14:57, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * His user page indicates he is on Wikibreak till October 1st. Maybe David noticed this and just couldn't wait the extra day?  Dragons flight 16:02, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * He posted to wikien-l, so I took that as a return :-) - David Gerard 16:06, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - I tried nominating him once on IRC, and he said no. I also think he should wait a while. Did you ask him why he said no? Nick didn't at the time feel ready for adminship; he wanted to wait until he was happy with it. I for one think this is a quality that all our admins ought to have; he clearly doesn't see adminship as a big deal, which of course it isn't. Rob Church Talk 00:03, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Note for people with edit count criteria:

Nicholas apparently uses an offline editor. This is a Good Thing, for obvious reasons. More people should do it!

Unfortunately, however, offline editing skews a persons' edit-count figure quite dramatically, because much less edits are made online, logically.

Don't forget to take this into account! Otherwise in the long run we'd end up with offline editing becoming discouraged.

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. I would anticipate using my administrator privileges to assist the community however and whenever I can. I am, at present, maintainer of The Mediation Cabal, an informal mediation initiative; with adminship, I would able to protect pages and set user blocks where they are required in active disputes, which would greatly enhance my ability to stop POV wars, personal attacks etc. in the course of my position as mediator. In addition, enforcing Arbitration Committee rulings, dealing with vandals (via blocking, reverting, and page protection/unprotection), and closing deletion related matters (including AfDs, CfDs, speedy deletion etc.) would all be matters that I hope I would be able to serve the community in as an administrator.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. Well, I would have to say that I am certainly particularly pleased with the recent redevelopment and maintenance of the Mediation Cabal page that I have completed, as I am confident that informal mediation could potentially solve a great deal of conflict issues in a civil and polite fashion, reducing needless cases being brought to the Mediation Committee and the Arbitration Committee. In addition, I am pleased with the work I have completed under the auspices of the WikiProject Scientology initiative, as a neutral, accurate and well-researched series of articles on Scientology subjects is entirely unique to Wikipedia; also, I am pleased with my spoken recordings I have made of The Giver and Microwave radio relay as I feel that spoken recordings shall be the path to Wikipedia articles reaching some wider audiences that paper encyclopaedias have yet to reach. I am also pleased with the work I have done on drawing the map for Suburbs of Johannesburg.
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. I have dealt with quite a number of conflicts in my time on Wikipedia, and my current position on the Mediation Cabal revolves entirely around managing disputes and remaining clear-headed despite emotive responses from dispute participants. In particular, the most recent Bogdanov Affair matter was quite trying; despite rather vehement and attacking communications from the parties in the dispute, I attempted my very best to bring the matter to an amicable close - in the end, it was necessary to escalate the case to the arbcom. However, I remained polite, civil and pleasant to all concerned, and acted to try to minimise the scope of the dispute as possible. Another dispute that I was involved in was the User:AI case, involving this user's negative POV pushing on David S. Touretzky, to which I brought an arbitration case against this user, in conjunction with User:MarkSweep, and the committee has recently passed a series of bans against this user. Despite incivility from this user I maintained politeness and cordiality. I learn constantly from these disputes, and hope that through this learning I become constantly better able to assist the community as a mediator.
 * 4. A survey of 126 adminship nominations over more than 2 months found that no successful candidates had under 1000 contributions (though only 2 applied) and a less than 50% success rate for those under 2000 contributions. Please explain why you should be the exception rather than the rule when it comes to judging the amount of experience necessary to prepare one for adminship?  Dragons flight 16:23, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I have long been an advocate of judging administrator candidates on the basis of the work that they have completed, rather than comparing the quantity of edits that they have produced to other candidates; it is my view that edit counts only give a partial view of an adminship candidate, and that the abilities demonstrated by a candidate - moreover, the demeanour, nature and intent of the individual in going about his or her work - should take precedence over numerical edit counting. In other words, experience in my view should be measured by what the person is able to do, and the knowledge that they demonstrate in what they do. It is, of course, up to the community to decide whether or not I possess the relevant experience to become an administrator, but I hope that my work in the field of mediation, and in participation in editing elsewhere, demonstrates that I am knowledgeable in Wikipedia processes and procedures. In addition, I strive to help the community as best I can through mediation, and it should be noted that a large amount of my mediation-related work takes place outside of the wiki itself in the form of e-mail and IRC correspondence with parties involved in disputes, which I hope demonstrates good intent in the process as well. I hope this answers your question, thank you :) --NicholasTurnbull 16:44, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
