Talk:Moral repugnance

This is pretty much original research.. I will AFD it if you insist on posting it, MPS. Rhobite 23:03, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Second, and add that at best it's a definition, which belongs in a dictionary and not an encyclopaedia. Exploding Boy 03:18, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I think the moral sense that one has is distinct from "morality" which is more like a system of rules. In fact, I Think it is more like your conscience, that feeling you feel when something seems immoral. I will make rd go to there instead. And no Rhobite, I am not stalking you. : ) MPS 15:31, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

No, I don't think that "moral repugnance" and "conscience" are the same thing at all. This is definitely original research. Also, when you're editing talk pages could you please leave a space between old and new comments? It makes reading them much easier, especially when editing. Thanks. Exploding Boy 15:54, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

 * For once, we agree, exploding boy. I think moral repugnance is a distinct entity that should have its own article, but apparently nobody else thinks so. As a result, I think the next best redirect is conscience rather than morality. moral repugnance is a feeling. conscience is a feeling. morality is ... something else (abstract concept maybe). btw using colons to indent is, in my opinion, the wikipedia standard for separating comments. When I am talking to you I will add paragraph spaces. MPS 16:05, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * MPS, I would encourage you to work up a very throughly referenced article on this topic(moral repugnance), either here or in your userspace. Once you have done that, then come to back and we'll review it - I personally am not sufficiently familiar with philosophy (or whatever other areas where this term is meaningful) to identify it without references as OR or not, but if you can provide references, that would certainly help.  Thanks to everyone for trying to improve the encyclopedia! JesseW, the juggling janitor 16:38, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the encouraging words. I was thinking about it and I will rd to Disgust. That is even closer since it includes revulsion to both "unclean" and "immoral" things. If you read what I wrote, that pretty much describes disgust. MPS 16:47, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Jason Kubel

Jason James Kubel (born May 25, 1982) is an American former professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Minnesota Twins, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Cleveland Indians.

Early life
Kubel was born May 25, 1982, in Belle Fourche, South Dakota, to Myron and Debbie Kubel. His family moved to Palmdale, California, where he played baseball at Highland High School in Palmdale, California. Kubel had a .491 batting average during his sophomore and junior years at Highland. He was ranked the number 50 high school prospect by Baseball America. Kubel signed a letter of intent to play college baseball for the Long Beach State Dirtbags.

Minor leagues
The Minnesota Twins drafted Kubel in the 12th round (342nd overall) of the 2000 Major League Baseball draft. In, Kubel played outfield in the Twins' minor league system, starting out with the Double-A New Britain Rock Cats, where Kubel batted .377 with six home runs and 29 RBI in 37 games before being promoted to the Twins' Triple-A affiliate, the Rochester Red Wings. He continued to excel with the Red Wings, posting a .343 average, 16 home runs and 71 RBI in 90 games. His impressive play landed him a place in the 2004 All-Star Futures Game. Kubel's play impressed manager Ron Gardenhire enough to warrant a call-up to the majors for the Twins' American League Central Division championship run in September. Kubel played well over the course of 23 games, batting .300 with two home runs and 7 RBI in 67 plate appearances.

Kubel suffered a serious knee injury in the Arizona Fall League later that year, which caused him to miss the entire season.

Minnesota Twins
Kubel returned to action in spring training, made the Twins' Opening Day roster, and started in right field on Opening Day. However, he got off to a slow start at the plate, batting just .188 in his first seven games. On April 16, 2006, Kubel was optioned to Triple-A Rochester, and was replaced on the active roster by Rubén Sierra. Kubel returned to the Twins lineup on May 23, 2006, as a replacement for the injured Shannon Stewart. He hit well in his return, including a walk-off grand slam against the Boston Red Sox in the 12th inning at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome on June 13, 2006. After that, continued soreness in his knees limited his playing time and success for the rest of the 2006 season. Kubel finished the season batting .241 with eight home runs and 26 RBI in 73 games.

Kubel's statistics showed improvement, as he finished the season with a .273 average, 13 home runs and 65 RBI in 128 games with 418 at-bats. On July 6, 2007, Kubel drove in a career high seven runs in a 20–14 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

During the season, Kubel primarily served as the designated hitter slot due to the acquisition of left fielder Delmon Young from the Tampa Bay Rays. Kubel hit well in the clutch and provided much needed power in the middle of the Twins' lineup. In 141 games, he batted .272 with 20 home runs and 78 RBI.

The 2009 season proved to be Kubel's most productive. On April 17, Kubel hit for the cycle against the Los Angeles Angels in the Metrodome. After a double in the first inning, single in the third, triple in the sixth, and strikeout in the seventh, Kubel capped the Twins' seven-run eighth inning with an upper deck grand slam to right-center field, which would prove decisive in the Twins' 11–9 victory. Kubel finished the game 4-for-5 with two runs scored and 5 RBI. On June 4, Kubel hit two three-run home runs in an 11–3 win over the Cleveland Indians, and hit another pair of three-run home runs to help defeat the Kansas City Royals on October 4. Kubel finished the season with career highs in batting average (.300), doubles (35), RBI (103), total bases (277), and OPS (.907), and games played (146). He also hit a then-career high 28 home runs in 514 at-bats. For his efforts, Kubel would be honored with a 24th-place finish in AL MVP voting that year.

Kubel played more often in the field for the Twins in 2010 due to a number of roster changes and injuries. Following the trade that sent center fielder Carlos Gómez to the Brewers for all-star shortstop J. J. Hardy, and the off-season acquisition of veteran slugger Jim Thome to fill the designated hitter position, Kubel found himself being used as a utility player and pinch hitter. However, due to the defensive shifting resulting from Justin Morneau's ongoing health issues, Kubel settled in as the Twins' right fielder, platooning with Michael Cuddyer. On April 12, Kubel hit the first home run in a regular-season game at Target Field, helping the Twins christen their new stadium in a 5–2 victory over the Boston Red Sox. On May 16, Kubel hit a grand slam off legendary closer Mariano Rivera to help the Twins beat the Yankees. It was only the fourth grand slam that Rivera had surrendered in his career.

Kubel started out the 2011 season hitting extremely well by peaking his batting average at .354 in May. This brought on speculation the Twins may try to trade Kubel to make room in an otherwise crowded team outfield. Due to injuries by fellow outfielders Delmon Young, Denard Span, and call-up Jason Repko, Kubel's position was critical to the Twins before finally getting hurt himself and missing all of the month of June. Kubel was limited to 99 games in 2011, batting .273 with 12 home runs and 58 RBI.

Arizona Diamondbacks
On December 19, 2011, Kubel signed a two-year, $15 million deal with an option for a third year with the Arizona Diamondbacks. For the 2012 season, Kubel served as the designated hitter during interleague play at American League ballparks. He played in 141 games with Arizona in 2012, batting .253 with a career-high 30 home runs and 90 RBI.

Kubel struggled to begin the 2013 season, batting just .220 with five home runs and 32 RBI in 89 games. The Diamondbacks designated him for assignment on August 27, 2013.

Cleveland Indians
The Diamondbacks traded Kubel to the Cleveland Indians for a player to be named later on August 30, 2013. He appeared in eight games with Cleveland, batting .167 (3-for-18).

The Indians declined their club option on Kubel's contract for the 2014 season on November 1, 2013, making Kubel a free agent.

Second stint with Twins
Kubel signed a minor league deal to return to the Twins on December 13, 2013. Kubel was designated for assignment on June 8, 2014, and released on June 16. Kubel ended his 2014 season with a .224 batting average, one home run, 13 RBI, and 59 strikeouts in 176 plate appearances.

Personal life
Kubel is the brother-in-law of Michael Tonkin. They briefly played together for the Twins in 2014.

At the conclusion of his career as a professional baseball player, Kubel became a Little League coach.

League of Young Voters

There are two main organisations with the name of "The League of Young Voters", one in the U.S. and one in Europe.

The League of Young Voters U.S.
The American organization, also known as the League of Independent Voters and the League of Pissed Off Voters, was founded in the early 2000s by activists including Adrienne Maree Brown, Robert Biko Baker and Jessica Norwood. Some of the founders have described the experience as one of their first exposures to political organizing. Focusing on the, 18–34 age group, one of its primary goals was preventing the re-election of George W. Bush.

The League formed connections with other youth-oriented political organizations and events, such as the League of Young Voters Education Fund, United Students Against Sweatshops, Music For America, and the National Hip Hop Political Convention. These connections prompted the Village Voice to call the coalition "a lively, iconoclastic, music-aware national group". During the 2004 election, The League worked with America Votes, a coalition of liberal organizations such as America Coming Together, the AFL–CIO and the League of Conservation Voters. In 2006, it launched the voting resource website theballot.org.

The League of Young Voters last functioned as a political action committee in 2014. The San Francisco League of Pissed Off Voters is an offshoot of the national organization that is still active as of 2020. It promotes progressive politics by making voter guides for San Francisco elections.

The League of Young Voters in Europe
The League of Young Voters in Europe was launched on 30 May 2013 on the Esplanade of the European Parliament in Brussels at Yo!Fest, in the presence of European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands. From an initial idea by Giuseppe Porcaro, the League took shape as an initiative of the European Youth Forum. The League of Young Voters in Europe aimed to tackle the ever decreasing youth participation at the European Parliament elections by increasing the level of youth-related information available about the elections, but also by encouraging political parties and candidates to directly target young people in their campaigns. The League was active until 2016.

Canon Episcopi

The title canon Episcopi (or capitulum Episcopi) is conventionally given to a certain passage found in medieval canon law. The text possibly originates in an early 10th-century penitential, recorded by Regino of Prüm; it was included in Gratian's authoritative Corpus juris canonici of c. 1140 (Decretum Gratiani, causa 26, quaestio 5, canon 12) and as such became part of canon law during the High Middle Ages.

It is an important source on folk belief and surviving pagan customs in Francia on the eve of the formation of the Holy Roman Empire. The folk beliefs described in the text reflect the residue of pre-Christian beliefs about one century after the Carolingian Empire had been Christianized. It does not believe witchcraft to be a real physical manifestation; this was an important argument used by the opponents of the witch trials during the 16th century, such as Johann Weyer.

The conventional title "canon Episcopi" is based on the text's incipit, and was current from at least the 17th century.

Textual history
It is perhaps first attested in the Libri de synodalibus causis et disciplinis ecclesiasticis composed by Regino of Prüm around 906. It was included in Burchard of Worms' Decretum (compiled between 1008 and 1012), an early attempt at collecting all of canon law.

The text was adopted in the Decretum of Ivo of Chartres and eventually in Gratian's authoritative Corpus juris canonici of c. 1140 (causa 26, quaestio 5, canon 12). Because it was included in Gratian's compilation, the text was treated as canon law for the remaining part of the High Middle Ages, until Roman Catholic views on European witchcraft began to change dramatically in the late medieval period. The text of Gratian is not the same as the one used by Burchard, and the distinctive features of the Corrector text were thus not transmitted to later times.

The text of Regino of Prüm was edited in Patrologia Latina, volume 132; the Decretum  of Burchard of Worms in volume 140. The text of Burchard's Corrector has been separately edited by Wasserschleben (1851), and again by Schmitz (1898).

Contents
The incipit of Gratian's text, which gave rise to the title of "canon Episcopi" reads:
 * Episcopi, eorumque ministri omnibus modis elaborare studeant, ut perniciosam et a diabolo inventam sortilegam et magicam artem ex parochiis suis penitus eradicent, et si aliquem virum aut mulierem hujuscemodi sceleris sectatorem invenerint, turpiter dehonestatum de parochiis suis ejiciant.
 * "The bishops and their ministers should by all means make great effort so that they may thoroughly eradicate the pernicious art of divination and magic, invented by the devil,  from their parishes, and if they find any man or woman adhering to such a crime, they should eject them, turpidly dishonoured, from their parishes."

This condemnation the "pernicious art of divination and magic" (magicam being changed by Gratian from maleficam)  is justified by a reference to Titus 3:10-11 on heresy. Then follows a description of the errors of "certain wicked women" (quaedam sceleratae mulieres), who deceived by Satan believe themselves to join the train of the pagan goddess Diana (to which Burchardus added: vel cum Herodiade "or with Herodias") during the hours of the night, and to cover great distances within a multitude of women riding on beasts, and during certain nights to be called to the service of their mistress. Those holding such beliefs are then condemned by the text in no uncertain terms ("that they would only perish in their perfidy without drawing others with them"), deploring the great number of people who "relapse into pagan error" by holding such beliefs. Because of this, the text instructs that all priests should teach at every possible instant that such beliefs are phantasms inspired by an evil spirit.

The following paragraph presents an account of the means by which Satan takes possession of the minds of these women by appearing to them in numerous forms, and how once he holds captive their minds, deludes them by means of dreams (transformat se in diversarum personarum species atque similitudines, et mentem quam captivam tenet in somnis deludens, modo laeta, modo tristia, modo cognitas, modo incognitas personas, ostendens, per devia quaeque deducit). The text emphasizes that the heretical belief is to hold that these transformations occur in the body, while they are in reality dream visions inspired in the mind (Et cum solus spiritus hoc patitur, infidelis mens haec non in animo, sed in corpore evenire opinatur). The text proposes that it is perfectly normal to have nightly visions in which one sees things that are never seen while awake, but that it is a great stupidity to believe that the events experienced in the dream vision have taken place in the body. Examples are adduced, of Ezechiel having his prophetic visions in spirit, not in body, of the Apocalypse of John which was seen in spirit, not in body, and of Paul of Tarsus, who describes the events at Damascus as a vision, not as a bodily encounter.

The text concludes by repeating that it should be publicly preached that all those holding such beliefs have lost their faith, believing not in God but in the devil, and whosoever believes that it is possible to transform themselves into a different kind of creature, is far more wavering (in his faith) than an infidel (procul dubio infidelis; to which Burchard added: "and worse than a pagan", et pagano deterior).

Reception
The Canon Episcopi has received a great deal of attention from historians of the witch craze period as early documentation of the Catholic church's theological position on the question of witchcraft.

The position taken by the author is that these "rides of Diana" did not actually exist, that they are deceptions, dreams or phantasms. It is the belief in the reality of such deceptions which is considered a heresy worthy of excommunication.

The position here is that the devil is real, creating delusions in the mind, but that the delusions do not have bodily reality. This skeptical treatment of magic sharply contrasts with the sanction of  witch trials by the church in later centuries, beginning with the bull  Summis desiderantes affectibus (1484).

The proponents of these trials were aware of this problem, and the authors of the Malleus Maleficarum, a witch-hunter's manual from 1487 that played a key role in the witch craze, were forced to argue for a reinterpretation of the Canon Episcopi in order to reconcile their beliefs that witchcraft was both real and effective as with those expressed in the Canon. Their detractors in the 16th and 17th century also made reference to the canon, e.g. Johann Weyer in his De praestigiis daemonum (1563).

Burchard of Worms added the New Testament figure Herodias to his copy of the document in one passage, and the Teutonic goddess Holda in another. In the 12th century, Hugues de Saint-Victor quoted the Canon Episcopi as reading "Diana Minerva". Later collections included the names "Benzozia" and "Bizazia". In modern times, the text's description of "witches' sabbaths" dedicated to Diana has given rise to a hypothesis concerning a supposed medieval witch religion, a theory mostly associated with Margaret Murray, and later adopted by Gerald Gardner and his followers. Burchard's mention of Herodias is relevant especially the theories of Charles Godfrey Leland presented in Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches (1899), and taken up in the Stregheria of Raven Grimassi.

Talk:Kevin Pittsnogle

2006 NBA Draft
An anon recently added this comment to that section: "Many cite that lack of athleticism may have done Pittsnogle in." Since the "many" are not cited anywhere in the article, it is merely a statement using weasel words which is a disguised way of advocating a point of view. I will remove it until a reputable source is given for it, per Citing sources. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 04:30, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Recent Edit
Recently Wesleymullins  reverted part of the article saying that "The articles about KP don't say he "turned down" a chance to be drafted in the 2nd round."

In paragraph four of the sourced article http://nbadraft.net/reed001.asp linked directly after the aforementioned item.

"While many would consider this a major disappointment, there has never been a time when undrafted free agents had a better chance of making an NBA roster. In fact, WVU’s Kevin Pittsnogle turned down an opportunity to be drafted in the second round and sent to Europe in favor of going the Free Agency route."

Thats where I got the information from. Thanks DrunkenSmurf 20:21, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Is he playing overseas or in another league?

No longer playing
This article from The New York Times states that he is now a middle school teacher in Martinsburg, West Virginia. As I don't normally edit the articles for athletes/former athletes, I'm not sure of the best way to integrate this information into the article, but it would probably be relevant to note that he is no longer playing basketball at the professional level.

OCN Blizzard

The OCN Blizzard are a Junior "A" ice hockey team from The Pas, Manitoba, Canada. They are members of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, a part of the Canadian Junior Hockey League and Hockey Canada. As announced by the Blizzard in June 2024, the team is now owned by local residents Rob and Bonnie White. Blizzard games are broadcast on local radio station CJAR 102.9 FM and can also be heard online at www.thepasonline.com.

History
The Blizzard were founded in 1996 by the Opaskwayak Cree Nation. The team was a year in the making with the Cree Nation's goal to enter the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL). Their hockey development and recreation department spent many months prior getting the community members on board through community meetings and house to house visits. Boh Kubrakovich, Jim Smith and Nathan McGillivary spent time working with the SJHL prior to entering their current league, the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL).

The Blizzard name and jersey was styled after the Utica Blizzard of the Colonial Hockey League. It was through a Blizzard like snow storm that the new directors of the team made it to Winnipeg to announce the team. During the press conference the directors decided to call the team the Opaskwayak Blizzard.

Founding directors were James Smith, Chief Frances Flett, Gordon Lathlin, Gilbert Lathlin, Nathan McGillivary and recreation director/director of hockey Boh Kubrakovich. They selected Gardiner MacDougall as their first head coach and director of hockey. Leonard Strandberg was then hired as the general manager in 1996.

From the 1998–99 season until 2002–03, the Blizzard became the second team in MJHL history and the first team in over sixty years to win five straight Turnbull Cup titles as MJHL playoff champions. At the ANAVET Cup regional tournament, in succession, the Blizzard lost to the SJHL's Estevan Bruins in 1999, to the Battlefords North Stars in 2000, the Weyburn Red Wings in 2001, defeated the Kindersley Klippers in 2002, and then lost in 2003 to the Humboldt Broncos. By winning the ANAVET Cup in 2002 the Blizzard earned them the right to compete in the 2002 Royal Bank Cup. They finished the Junior A national championship round-robin with a 2–2 record. In the semi-final OCN defeated the British Columbia Hockey League's Chilliwack Chiefs 4–3. They would go on to lose in the national final to the Halifax Exports 3–1.

In December 2016, the Opaskwayak Cree Nation council declared its intention to cease team operations following the 2016–17 season. The Blizzard board of directors were later granted permission to operate the team for another season, but without funding from the band council.

In 2018 a pair of businessmen, brothers Salman Safdar Dhillon and Usman Tahir Dhillon, jumped in to save the club. A proposal was presented in front of elected chief and council of Opaskwayak Cree Nation and it was unanimously approved and a sale agreement was signed. That sale was brought before the MJHL board of governors and after meeting a few more conditions was approved.

In June of 2023, The Blizzard Junior ‘A’ Hockey Club of the MJHL, and the Town of The Pas, announced that the team has signed a 3 year agreement to play out of the Roy H Johnston Arena, in The Pas. The Blizzard ownership also pointed out that despite some interest and offers to move the team out of the community, they have made a commitment to stay in The Pas and their goal is to keep the team in the North.

In June of 2024, The Blizzard Junior ‘A’ Hockey Club, announced that the MJHL has approved the sale of the team to Rob & Bonnie White, of The Pas, Manitoba. Rob was extremely instrumental to the success of the team during the 2023-24 season, as President of the Board, as they navigated new staff and management, a new arena, and overseeing the move from the GLMC to the RHJA. Leveraging decades of hockey experience and profound business skills, the Blizzard move forward with great optimism to our Club’s future, continuing to be the Pride of the North.

 * The previous version of the article was mostly a summary taken from the DVD box and/or press materials, which is a copyright violation. Also, the article was not written in standard Wikipedia style. See Copyright and Manual of Style for more information. tregoweth  01:44, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

 * No Disney Channel page is Wikipedia Professional. We try to make it as simple and modest as we can. I was just trying to fix it up from what it was before. It was awful. And also,Twitches never had a press meeting or a dvd because it was just released. Now maybe it was the pictures that threw everyone off. Take them off but the summarization and cast and the external links should stay. People should know what it is about fully.Thank you.

Goofs
I added the fact that Tia plays Camryn in the first scene at the party. If you question this, go watch the movie and notice the mole missing on her face and the different body language.

Similar to Sister, Sister Characters?
I just noticed that the characters Cam and Alex are similar to Tia and Tamera from "Sister, Sister". Like Tia Mowry plays Alex and Tia, both of these characters being smart. While Tamera Mowry plays Cam and Tamera, both of these characters being outgoing. I just wanted to ask if this was important for choosing which twin got which part. I think that it's because these twin were used to playing the smart or outgoing twin. Should this be added? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.248.223.2 (talk) 03:06, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Why do you think Lenovo Group compete against? Alienware, Lenovo make business oriented computers, not games oriented computers like Alienware.

Someone who did not use the talk page correctly
I really do not understand you, really. I post an article (Human Shit) about one of my favorite bands that not too many people know about, and you recommend that it be deleted? You describe the article as vulgar, but did it ever occur to you that a name is a name? There is nothing I can do about the fact that the band named themselves Human Shit. But, nonetheless, they do exist and they are a legitimate piece of local history. It would be very nice of you to post another replay recommending htta the article not be deleted. I do believe you owe that to me now. --Some anonymous user who forgot to sign

open source
While it is nice to have an opinion, it isn't nice to add it to articles. If you don't actually know what open source is about don't go randomly trying to merge or edit the articles about it as you have. There are many distinct groups that use these terms and you don't appear to be aware of them. There is a very solid difference between the Open Source as defined by the Open Source Initiative and open source as it is applied by the broader scope of people. Merging the two would be as wrong to do as merging Free Software with freeware, because the Free Software Foundation has set a very prickly definition for what they call Free. All these things, though related are completely different in how they do things, wanting to merge them is worse than foolhardy, it's absolutely stupid.

Also the concept is for people that know what they are talking about to make improvements. The term open source is no more a neologism than the term crackpot when used to describe people that are not mentally astute, it has been a part of the language for a reasonably long time. Open source has been used to describe texts which attribute all source information and allow for their complete fact-checking for more than 100 years, the term is still used. Open source software is a new usage of the term, but that has been used for the past 40 years, so even then it's not all that new. Janizary 17:10, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with your assessment that they are different. Which is why the bullshit removal process has begun. However, do not attempt to claim credibility by pulling random 'facts' out of your ass. you are not credible. you are not respected. you are non-notable. and of course the fact that you single handedly removed the merge request from the articles without any community process confirms that you are a vanity editor. you are not the descision maker. Fsdfs 05:17, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I think the articles should indeed be merged, but they should be merged into the free software article. First off, "free" is the only accurate word.  Second, historically, "free software" has 15 years of priority (the movement titled "free software" started in 1983, where as the movement/campaign for "open source software" started in 1998).  "Free" being the most accurate is important, because in the 60s and 70s, all software could be modified and redistributed - so there was no term for it.  In retrospect, the most accurate term should be applied - and that's "free software".  "open source software" is simply a marketing campaign for "free software".  A marketing campaign that some think is great, and some think is counterproductive.

 * As for the differences between software that FSF say complies with their "free software definition", and software that Open Source Initiative say complies with their "open source" definition - the differences make little difference in the real world (little or no widely used software is one but not the other). As for the widespread public confusion about what consitutes "open source software", I don't think this causes the definition to be different.  Widespread misunderstanding of a mathematical theorum wouldn't change the theorum or it's accuracy.  So I think the free software article (after the merge) should simply mention that the public hasn't found the term "open source software" to be understandable. Gronky 20:19, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * And you entirely miss the point, open source is larger than either of the two niche factions, open source has been around since before the founding of the OSI. That is why open source has it's own article, because it's bigger than either and includes more.  What the people outside these groups understand is irrelevant, what actually is there is.  It's like trying to merge the articles on the Scots and the Irish, despite both having celtic heritage they are distinct peoples and such a merged article would be a bad one to have, they could be linked to from a celts article however.  If you don't see the difference then you should open your eyes and look into it, you're asking to ignore the differences between the Greeks and Romans.  Anyways, if you don't see the differences you shouldn't be commenting on it.  Janizary 20:36, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * My comment was about "open source software" - I consistantly bothered to type the full name each time. I won't comment on the validity of the article on "open source".  I do think that the articles free software, open source software, Free/Libre/Open-Source Software, Libre software, and Free Open Source Software should be merged. Gronky 20:48, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The bullshit terms of FOSS, FLOSS and nonsense like that where people are just trying to come up with a name that includes everyone should be merged, that I will agree to, because they are all dealing with the same thing. But open source, Open Source software and Free Software are all different, that's what you need to learn, they are different.  That Libre Software is just another group's name to cover Free Software means it should be a section in Free Software.  Janizary 22:05, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Ok. I agree with your first sentence and your last sentence.  In your second sentence, I agree that open source shouldn't be merged into free software, but I disagree with you about free software and open source software - I think those two should be merged (I think they are two terms for practically the same thing).  But it seems we won't agree overnight, and this is probably not the best place to discuss it anyway. Gronky 21:15, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Your edits
Please don't edit old closed VfD/AfD discussions.

Also, you seem to be promoting Alienware brand products (Alienware Area 51 and Alienware Bot), even nominating Area 51 for a page move request, while simultaneously nominating various Dell brand pages for deletion ( and many, many others).

Please read Neutral point of view, with regard to the above and with regard to your edits to various open-source-related pages. -- Curps 19:32, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Brands of computer
What's the point of creating pages like Alienware Bot about a particular brand of computer by a niche manufacturer, while simultaneously proposing the deletion of other brands of computer such as the Dell Inspiron which (much as I dislike it) comprises a vast percentage of all business PCs laptops sold. Ojw 21:31, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The product pages were created in response to the expected failed vote to remove Dell's product pages. As much as I disagree with having product pages in the first place, this is the precedent that appeared to have been set with an overwhelming "keep" majority, and I intend to follow it through all applicable channels to the best of my interest. If Dell's product pages are infact removed, I will gladly remove the Alienware product pages, as I do not want to be the one to create those pages.

 * Please read WP:POINT. -- Curps 07:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not a good theorist so I am not good at proving concepts, though I will try. Traditionally, I have expected that encyclopedia articles contain information with all things being equally notable. If you were to allow one such article to have a subsection which gave a distinct or perceived favortism over another equally important article it would not make sense and would break down the system which is designated to make note of only notable things. In essence, giving one company in the same market more exposure over another would seem as if it were favoring one, and generating the presence of bias to the reader. Not to say that those articles are more or less worthy, but as a general rule of thumb there should be equal exposure. nothing more, nothing less but being equal. personally, I think Alienware should actually die quietly because they are kniving backstabbing liars with no allegiences though I do know more about it than others and though they do caring more about money than anything else, let's just burry the hatchet for now because the time will come to burry them 6 feet under... Fsdfs 07:51, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Examples are given at WP:POINT. I think the basic idea is, don't do something that you actually disagree with, just to make a point.

 * Regarding the two companies, Dell is much larger (by stock market capitalization, revenue, number of employees, sales, etc) and a much better-known company than Alienware and its brands are also much better known, so a straight comparison doesn't necessarily follow. -- Curps 10:04, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

"Neologism"
Most of the field of personal computing has a fairly recent history, so nearly every single term was once a "neologism". "Graphical user interface" (GUI) for instance, and countless other examples. Today, "open source" is a well-established and widely-used term and can no longer be considered a neologism. -- Curps 07:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * It isn't exactly a non-neologism yet specifically for non-software fields, because that is rather new. I don't think the acceptance of "open source" as a concept or practice for software automatically makes it's applicability to other fields non-neologism just yet. It would need more time and evidence to prove that the term has caught on in other fields before claiming it's acceptance. One or two examples just is not enough, despite their previous posistioning or credibility, it doesn't mean that people will accept it in the long term which is what encyclopedias are there for. I belive that encyc. are here to preserve important knowledge for generations to come so that they can peer into the minds and lives of those who lived before them, not to preserve every peice of history, as that would be for specialized history books, or perhaps even specialized encyclopedias. Because of the fact that it sounds awkward for non-software uses makes open source advocates sound like they just want to pollute everything with the word open source so everything and everyone thinks about promoting open source software or open source pizza, or whatever somehow linking back to the origoinal "open source software" .. "linus torvalds" or "Eric Steven Raymond". It just sounds like they have a score to settle or some other devious motive as I don't really see how the concept of sharing source code, designs/blueprints, or whatever basis for a product/service is called, as being worthy of note for future generations. This is something that parents teach their children, and frankly if you don't know how to share by the time that you can read and think on your own, then you won't ever truely understand the meaning of sharing as it would be very difficult to accept new ways of lifestyle after so long without hurting others in the process as the origional intention was to please others. This "movement" is some faggot's rendition so he doesn't have to pay for software or even pizza anymore. god that guy should just move to china for god sakes instead of trying to put the capitalists in a posistion to die in an embarassing way. im not sure but it seems like that guy might have gotten lectured on software piracy when he was little otherwise he wouldnt be so damn vicsious about such a simple concept. i sswear i'd put a bullet in his brain if he didn't stfu forcing me to see it everytime i wake up and read about the latest attempt to put a stop to capitalism in general. I know exactly what they are trying to accomplish, and I simply do not belive it is economical, but some people who have voices in the community (and as such squelch the critism whenever possible like politicians) simply have alot more to gain by promoting things they create than if it were a more natural accumulation, which gives me the impression that they are in it for some economic bennefit or some social recognition rather than improving the community as a whole, which I intend to put a hault to. If it were truely a concept dedicated to improving the community then they would not go so far as to being one sided and clearly blindsight all opposing evidence which may contradict it, it just adds to the evidence that they gain more themselves than the community will gain as a whole by having it accepted (such as their ego, more or less). It also adds to the evidence that clearly some of these people are brainwashed more or less than others but still nevertheless, to some degree tainted by this phrase as if it were like a godsend that never existed before -- it would be like taking something out of folklore and hyping it up to be something truely innovative like the cottin gin or cryptography or something equally as creative for a purpose and not personal gain -- but in reality just saying something like "loving your parents but not abusive parents, unless they regret it afterwards due to some circumstances as applicable" should be called "googlegoogle-floppycock." (I'm a bit childish sometimes to make a point). .... and for now on we shall know "open source" as "source code that we give you under a license which says exactly what you can do with it" just makes alot more sense than a euphanism which does not apply to everything. I'll give it to them that it does sound good and even makes alot of sense for software, but by all means keep that peice of shit away from literally every field like they want it to. I don't want to have to keep repeating myself that in some way it just leads back to improving their egos and lives in some way by means of creature comforts. If such an "essay" was what he wanted, well to the fuck with that because frankly this is how I feel and that isn't going to change by force. I know that if I were born 100 years from now and they called sharing pizza receipies "open source pizza" i'd curse raymond and burn effigies of him while we danced and pissed on his grave (hopefully he would have opted for a space burial so he would literally be "out of this earth" and not just theoretically). Simply put, this whole "movement", it's supporters and especially its organizers is/are outrageous and an embarassment to the entire human race. If that's the point you desire, well, you can certainly die in a fire and I wouldn't care. All I care is that someone doesn't try to intentionally and so vehemotely steal food from people's mouths who earn decent wages and honest living from respectable, legitamate jobs because this mother fucker wants everything to be free. Fsdfs 08:32, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * See Neutral point of view.

 * Regarding "neologisms", the term "open source" is a well-established term used routinely in business publications, such as The Economist (Google search), Forbes (Google search). What people will talk about 100 years from now is anyone's guess. -- Curps 10:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Area 51
The standard Wikipedia practice is: when one meaning of a term considerably predominates over all the others, it usually gets the undisambiguated title. For instance London is an article about the major city in England, and London (disambiguation) points to the various other Londons. On the other hand, if various meanings have comparable weight (such as Mercury the planet and mercury the chemical element), then the page (Mercury in this case) is itself a disambiguation page.

In this case, one particular meaning of "Area 51" very much predominates over all the others, so the first case is applicable and the page should not be moved. -- Curps 07:32, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Noted, and I actually on second thought do not care to give Alienware and it's founders the bennefit of extra exposure. I'm quite pleased with such a rule of thumb.

KISW

KISW (99.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a mainstream rock format in Seattle, Washington. It is owned by Audacy, Inc. and has studios in Downtown Seattle and a transmitter on Tiger Mountain in Issaquah. In addition to a standard analog transmission, KISW broadcasts using HD Radio technology and is available online via Audacy.

On the air since 1950, KISW was originally a fine music station before Kaye-Smith shifted it to a rock format in 1971. It has continued in the rock format since under various owners; live shows include The Mens Room afternoon show, which for a time was nationally syndicated.

Classical (1950–1971)
KISW began broadcasting on January 16 or 18, 1950. The station's founder and first owner was Ellwood W. Lippincott, a resident of Centralia and engineer for the Weyerhauser Timber Company. The station programmed a classical music format. At first, the station was powered at slightly over 2,000 watts, a fraction of its current output, and operated from studios at 9201 Roosevelt Way NE in North Seattle. From 1954 to 1956, the station was managed by Harvey Manning. The station increased its power to 10,500 watts in 1960.

During the week, Lippincott's job required him to travel around the Pacific Northwest maintaining the company's radio equipment, and he would spend his weekends managing the station. Twice during its first 11 years on the air, the station ran into financial difficulty, and listeners contributed more than $3,000 each time to keep KISW on the air.

Rock (1971–present)
In 1969, the station was purchased by Kaye-Smith, a partnership of famed entertainer Danny Kaye and businessman Lester Smith; at that time, Kaye-Smith were also the owners of the leading Top 40 station in Seattle, KJR, and also owned Kaye-Smith Studios in Seattle, where records by Heart, Steve Miller and Bachman–Turner Overdrive were recorded. With Pat O'Day, the firm owned Concerts West, a booking and promotion company that handled Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, The Eagles, Paul McCartney and others, and were original owners of the Seattle Mariners.

Kaye-Smith expressed its intention to change the format of the station, which led to objections from members of the public. On February 15, 1971, KISW became a progressive rock (or "underground") station, similar to the format pioneered by Tom Donahue at KMPX and KSAN in San Francisco. KOL-FM was also experimenting with free-form rock at night. Over time, KISW moved to an album oriented rock format by playing the best-selling albums from the top rock acts. In 1982, Danny Kaye sold his interest in the company; the new corporation was called Alexander Broadcasting and was owned by Smith. In 1987, Nationwide Communications, a subsidiary of Nationwide Insurance, acquired KISW for $13 million from Smith. As an April Fool's Day prank in 1991, the radio station changed its format to "classical rock", mixing classical and rock selections for a day. Longtime DJ Steve Slaton, who had been at KISW from 1973 to 1992, was fired by Nationwide over differences in creative opinion that had been simmering since the station's sale years prior.

Entercom, forerunner to Audacy, acquired KISW in 1996, along with $25.5 million, as part of a three-way swap with Nationwide Communications and Secret Communications that involved stations in Houston and Pittsburgh. The KISW acquisition and other deals gave Entercom a "lock on rock" in the market.

In 2000, the popular "Twisted Radio" morning show led by Bob Rivers left KISW after 11 years to join rival KZOK-FM. KISW briefly aired the syndicated Rob, Arnie and Dawn from Sacramento sister station KRXQ, but with no rating success, the station began airing Howard Stern's nationally syndicated show in May 2001. During this time, from 2001 to 2002, the station had a classic hits lean before dropping it a year later. At the end of 2005, Stern moved to Sirius Satellite Radio. On January 3, 2006, The BJ Shea Morning Experience (originally from sister station KQBZ) replaced Stern. On January 3, 2024 The Daly Migs Show, with hosts Taryn Daly and Steve Migs, replaced The BJ Shea Morning Experience (which ended as "BJ & Migs" on December 15, 2023 after Shea's departure for rival KZOK-FM)

Programming
The station aired BJ & Migs (BJ Shea and Steve Migs) in mornings until Shea's final show at KISW on December 15, 2023. The Daly Migs Show (Taryn Daly and Steve Migs) premiered on January 3, 2024 as the replacement for BJ & Migs. The station airs Ryan Castle in middays. KISW is the originating station for The Mens Room in afternoon drive; hosted by Miles Montgomery, Steve "The Thrill" Hill, Thee Ted Smith and Mike Hawk, the show entered syndication on June 5, 2017, and was distributed by Westwood One until June 2020. Weekend programming includes Loud & Local, which highlights local music from the greater Seattle area, hosted by Kevin Diers.

Just Say Ozzy

Just Say Ozzy is a live EP by Ozzy Osbourne. It was released in March 1990, and was remastered on August 22, 1995. It entered the UK charts on 17 March and reached number 69.

Overview
The sleeve states that Just Say Ozzy was recorded at London's Brixton Academy in November 1989. However, no known dates correspond (the tour ended in August 1989 in Moscow), and the music appears to have been re-recorded and mixed at Electric Lady Studios in New York with engineer Adam Yellin with the audience noise and some tracks kept from the original live recording.

Just Say Ozzy was remastered in 1995 along with the rest of the singer's catalog. However, the EP —along with Speak Of The Devil, The Ultimate Sin and Live & Loud —has since been deleted from Ozzy's catalog and was not remastered and reissued with the rest of Ozzy's catalog in 2002. This is mainly due to a continuing legal struggle with bassist/songwriter Phil Soussan over the song "Shot in the Dark".

Just Say Ozzy peaked at number 58 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Gold on July 21, 1993.

Suicide blonde
Neologism. WP:NOT Urban Dictionary. Paul 23:11, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Move to Wiktionary - I've heard the term too, but with a different meaning. Coolgamer 00:14, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Neologism? I remember figuring out the "dyed by her own hand" pun in the mid-80s and the INXS tune is fifteen years old. Still, Wiktionary. — mendel ☎ 00:18, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I have no opinion on whether or not individual songs should have articles. — mendel ☎ 14:39, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It's hardly a neologism; it's been around for years, more likely decades, as a pun on the "different meaning" (presumably that'd be 'blonde who drives da guys to suicide'). This is a dicdef . Transwiki to Wiktionary. Tonywalton [[Image:Pentacle_1.svg|15px]] | Talk 00:24, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. This usage was in the INXS hit single which was their last top 10 hit in Australia see . From Allmusic.com, I note that the song was a top 10 in the US as well. I would vote to keep if article is expounded to primarily discuss the INXS hit song. Capitalistroadster 00:23, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I have written an article about the INXS song. Capitalistroadster 10:49, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * PS Article should be renamed as Suicide Blonde.Capitalistroadster 10:51, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article has been rewritten into a piece about a notable song. 23skidoo 13:58, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * With new content, rename "Suicide Blonde" and keep. (Points for being bold, Capitalistroadster!) Paul 14:00, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
