Talk:Pinscreen animation

Why not create pinscreen movies by using modern technology?
What the pinscreen technique does is to make realistic 3D-pictures. But in the modern age it is possible to do this in a much better and faster way, and with better results, even if a different technique is used.

Back then they didn't have all the modern tools we have today. Now we can make these 3-D pictures by printing them out with a 3D printer, stereolithography, 3DP or Selective laser sintering or whatever tool is best suited. Some of these machines could print out a number of 3D images each day. Each of these images can be based on real objects which is 3D scanned before uploaded to a computer, which then printes them out the way they want it to be. Or they can be created entirely on a computer without needing to be real objects first. The color is already programmed in the computers, and the printed objects can be colored by hand, by using tools as liquid ink-jet printers or by combining both techniques.

One and one 3D picture are printed out, colored and then taken a picture of by the movie makers. Once this is done, the color can be flushed away and the platic melted and used over again for other 3D pictures in the same movie.

If an object on the image are supposed to be surrounded by light, this can by added on the computer after the picture is taken, or small holes can be drilled in the 3D picture and optical fibers inserted.

For real complicated scenes, bluescreen would be handy. First some 3D pictures where only the objects foreground are present are made, the rest of the picture is just blue (as in bluescreen). Then other 3D pictures of objects in the background and between are printed out, also they surrounded by bluescreen. When the whole scene is done, all the objects on the different images are being fused together on the same image by using a computer, and a complicated scene is complete.

As with stop-motion, this would be very time consuming and cost a lot of money, but it is fully possible to make a movie like this by using the tolls which are already availble today. And as mentioned, it would be very much faster to produce a 3D image movie this way then by using the traditional pinscreen technique, and with better results. Because both techniques have the same goal; to create 3D images. Of course it does not motter how it is done, it is the results that counts. But time, money and quality are very dominating elements in the movie industry.

Reply:
There are many techniques available for creating 3D effects in animation. The pin screen is important because it has produced some really interesting results. --Dhodges 14:08, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Well...
(Just edited your reply a bit, to prevent other readers to get confused about who wrote what) It wouldn't call it that important considering how little impact it has had on animation so far, but it is without a doubt very interesting. But what is your reply about? I'm actual saying it would like to see a movie made by using some 3D technique never or almost never used before. Today it is possible to produce 3D images that looks exactly like pinscreen images, but with different tools. Maybe is it even possible to use the same "canvas" over and over again instead of producing a new one each time. If someone with big name in Hollywood with enought money and investors decides to make an animated film like this, I'm sure they will come up with a solution. The trouble with real pinscreen animation is all the time and work that is needed. So other tools would have to be used instead, unless images created on a computer can be created on a pinscreen by moving each single pin, one and one, automatically with the help of the computer. (I guess it is also possible to simulate pinscreen, or other 3D images, on a computer, but as with stop-motion it just wouldn't be the same if it wasn't made the "real" way.)

Another idea
Pinscreen animation is also famoues for its shadow effects. By making a flat screen where optic fibres are used instead of pins, it is possible to create a similar effect (and even color effects). By filming in a dark room, with most of the fibres glowing with a white light (maybe covered by a white canvas or something, thin enough for the light to go throught), and some don't glowing at all, there would be some shadow effects. Which fibres that are glowing and which are not are of course controlled by a computer (or manuel, but that will be more time consuming).

And as mentioned in the first suggestion at the top of the phage, it is not possible to produce 3D images. Another possibility this gives, is the ability to produce 3D images specially made to create the well known light and shadow effects if someone is litting the image from the side with a spotlight.

The whole thing seems to be something between 2D animation and stop-motion animation. If it is still possible to make stop-motion, and modern technology allows movie makers to make this kind of animation without using more time or money, it is sad if no one use the oppertunity.

There is a reason it is made so few pinscreen animation movies, and all of the relativ short. Today it can be made faster, so what are the animators and producers waiting for? I would have tried it out myself if I were in the animation business.

Use of Pin Screen in Orson Welles' "The Trial"
By far the most famous use of Pin Screen technique must have been with Orson Welles' film of Kafka's novel "The Trial". Movie begins with a brief but very memorable Pin Screen segment, which tells the story of the man who comes to the Castle looking for Jusice and is denied entry. He waits outside the doors for all his life, barred from entry by a giant guard. As he is about to die, he asks the guard: "Why is that for all this time, so many years, I have never seen anyone else come here to ask for Justice?". The guard replies: "Why, because this door was built for you, and now that you are going to die, I am going to shut it - forever". There is a fadeout, and then the story of Joseph K begins. I STILL get goosebumps whenever I remember it.

I will go about adding this to the page (not the goosebumbs bit). Are there no other important instances of Pin Screen use.?It was a complete winner in "The Trial"? Myles325a (talk) 11:31, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Convoluted sentence
"Due to Cecile Starr (friend of Alexeieff and Parker, and distributor of their work in the US) most insisting intervention talking to Norman McLaren that the opportunity should not be missed to preserve Alexeïeff's knowledge, this demonstration was filmed". "Most insisting intervention talking that the opportunity"? Can someone rework this sentence into less of an obscure labyrinth, please? Kumagoro-42 14:51, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

I'm studyin topshop and need to know the meanings behind the company. what are the ideologies conveyed through the models, clothes etc. also the political economy (study of production, arts of selling and buying, the relationship between production and consumption)any help here? would be grateful.

I think you are looking in the wrong place for the above information to be honest. What you have requested as added info would be an interely different topic and would also be based a lot on individual opinion which is not what this sight is about. Its a n encyclopedia and not a text book.

DRCG
There is really a CHAIN of stores in the Congo? Does it deserve any more of a mention with it being at the top of the article instead of at the bottom with the other international locations?

Hi, Not an experienced user of this, please be aware that Topshop does not have stores in Austria

Fashionable?
In the 1980s TopShop was deeply unfashionable, its successful re-invention as a fashionable brand is an astonishing marketing success.

"Deeply unfashionable" according to whom? Fashion is subjective - without a source, the above statement is opinion, not fact.

It would be more neutral to define Topshop's progress in terms of commercial success, rather than "fashionability". 217.155.20.163 17:27, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

isn't 'deeply unfashionable', or rather 'deeply fashionable' oxymoronic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.27.155.40 (talk) 17:59, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Australia?
There's a little Australian flag there. Is Top Shop in Australia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.218.79.211 (talk) 01:00, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Protests and criticisms
I removed this sentence as it seemed somewhat trivial (a single protest in a single store that only appeared to involve two people, with key news value being the fact that the officers were armed): 'In February 2011 armed police arrested 19 year old Jed Miller (after searching him in front of shocked library-goers) for writing "pay your taxes" in washable ink on the wall of a Top Shop branch in Colchester.' This has been reverted by SovalValtos. Fair enough, but it isn't a particularly well-constructed addition at present, so could we a) expand to provide a bit more context about the protest to relate it back to the subject of the article, which is Topshop and b) remove/tone down the 'in front of shocked library goers' – 'shocked' isn't actually in the newspaper report as far as I can see and sounds suspiciously like a point of view that merely sensationalises the story. Many thanks. Libby norman (talk) 10:41, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I have edited the sentence to show the essence of the protest being about the payment, or non payment of tax by Topshop.SovalValtos (talk) 12:09, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, SovalValtos. I'm going to look at this whole section again when I've finished improving the brand history and sorting out some of the dead links (I'm up to the 1980s at present). I'd suggest it needs to start with some sort of very brief explanation of the political/ethical trading climate with a non partisan reference or two. As I recall, Topshop was a high-profile target but was far from alone. This reference gives some context on taxes . The ethical trading (sweatshop) issue is more complex but I believe general criticisms of big retailers began around 2007. Other big brands such as Primark and Walmart have also been a focus here, so I'll look to see if I can find a general source that gives some background. Libby norman (talk) 13:02, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I've now reviewed all references for this section and amended somewhat. The first reference didn't mention Uzbekistan and it talked about slave labour not slaves (there is a subtle difference). It didn't mention the agreement that Topshop supposedly refused to sign so that also came out. In the second, I clarified the nature of the protest and the number of protestors. In the third I mentioned that it was one man in Colchester and took out young – still not convinced this story is very significant, but it is now accurate thanks to Solvatos' amendment. Fine to add more detail back in or more protests/criticisms, but everything in this section should be supported factually and with newspaper references. The section now opens with the simple statement that Topshop was among the retailers targeted and a ref as that provides some context.Libby norman (talk) 16:31, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Improving this page
I'm starting to improve this page, notably the history section. Topshop is a key brand in the UK with a long history, and worked with Mary Quant, Stirling Cooper and the like in the early days, as well as helping to take high fashion concepts into mass market retail. It may take a few days to infill and upgrade the history section as I am sourcing not just from current Goggle-able stuff but newspaper archives. I've taken the flag off the history section as I do this as it's just a bit more clutter on the page. It can be put back on after I've finished if other editors think it still needs more work. Many thanks Libby norman (talk) 11:58, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
 * This page has now been pulled up a bit in terms of its referencing, factual accuracy and early background. What is still missing is a clear and succinct narrative about some of the more recent history – Philip Green bought Topshop in 2004 according to this, but we're still looking a bit light on bringing the company history up to that point. Input and info are appreciated. Libby norman (talk) 22:48, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * User:Libby norman fine work. Thank you. Some clarity about who owns what and has done the buying would be useful. Arcadia, a private equity group, Sir Philip Green and Tina are all mentioned, are the shareholder(s) in charge? SovalValtos (talk) 23:05, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comment SovalValtos and for your input to improve. Well it's privately owned rather than a PLC, so that means no shareholders in the traditional sense. Burton (which was the name of the group) was a PLC for a reasonable period of time. I know something of the history but think I will be back on the newspaper archives to look up the period up to 2004 for source refs and contemporaneous descriptions to clarify this bit of the history. This, as an aside, adds some background colour (worth reading pt2 as well). Adding a bit more about this period might also help with other Arcadia group pages – they all seem to need a bit of work. Quite a lot of the company pages on Wiki have similar quality problems – they either focus pretty much on the present or get hijacked by PRs, fans or foes. Libby norman (talk) 00:11, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Well you've done a shite job of it, this is need of a rewrite by someone with knowledge of what a reference needs to be, and no it is not just breaking an article into numbered paragraphs and calling it reference material! Each reference has to be source material backing up what you are writing. This is what drives people nuts about the horrifically uneven policing that goes on in the Wikipedia world, and why schools do not allow use of Wikipedia as source material! Had this Wikipedia page been about an iconic American brand you would have been inundated with descriptions of all of the rules you have broken, instead you have conversations in the Talk Page that also violates Wikipedia rules, and after all of these years, and numerous calls for corrections, it remains as a prime example of why Wikipedia is still a !! 2600:1700:8A90:ECF0:D91D:9042:1168:E0DB (talk) 06:32, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Entry into France
I happened to be in Paris a couple of times in the late 1990s and recall seeing a branch of Top Shop in the form of a stand-alone shop unit. It made a bit of an impression on me, simply for being a British brand in a foreign country. Obviously this "original research" would not qualify for inclusion in the actual article, but I wonder whether it would be worth investigating online or through any other suitable routes.

Bone Cruncher

Bone Cruncher is a puzzle video game for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, and Commodore 64 first published by Superior Software in 1987. It uses the "rocks and diamonds" mechanics of Boulder Dash. An Amiga version was released in 1988.

Gameplay

The player controls a dragon called Bono, who operates a soap business. He collects bones from around the chambers of his castle and uses them to make soap in a cauldron. He then delivers the soap to sea-monsters, situated at various exits from the castle.

The game uses the gameplay mechanics popularised in Boulder Dash and Superior's own Repton series. The player can dig through earth and push boulders but where boulders will fall from above if area below them is cleared. The main difference in this game is that, although the characters are depicted in side profile, the camera is meant to be overhead so objects are not subject to gravity in the same way. The 'boulders' are living creatures known as Glooks and rather than just heading down the screen, they will head in the direction of a bathing sea-monster. As such, they change direction during play which changes the layout of the maze. This means the player must decide the order that the soap is delivered. Glooks are generally harmless but can crush the player when they move.

There are two other deadly creatures in the castle: monsters and spiders. Monsters can be trapped by pushing Glooks onto them. If they can't move, they turn to skeletons which Bono can collect to make soap. They can also be lured into trapdoors but then their bones are lost. Spiders, as well as being deadly to Bono, eat skeletons.

Another character in the game is Bono's assistant Fozzy who can be used to hold back monsters or spiders but can become trapped. There are also keys and doors and on each level a hidden 'volcano' that will spew out Glooks if walked over.

It takes five skeletons to make a bar of soap and five bars of soap must be created, and delivered to the sea-monsters, in each chamber. There are 22 chambers in the castle.

Development and release
The game was designed by German programmer Andreas Kemnitz, originally for the Commodore 64. He submitted the game to Superior Software, who had recently published the similar Repton 3 on the C64. Superior commissioned conversions to the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron, machines on which they were market leaders, and also Amiga. All versions of the game are almost identical, with no real changes for the 16-bit Amiga version. The game was launched before Christmas 1987 with all four versions being advertised but the Amiga version was delayed, finally getting released in Spring 1988.

Reception
The game received mostly positive reviews but there was a mixed response. ACE gave the C64 version a score of 943 (out of 1000) and the Amiga version 948. Electron User gave an overall score of 9/10, particularly praising the humour of the game and the "beautifully animated" sprites.

The Games Machine also picked out the character animation for praise in their review of the BBC Micro and C64 versions and while generally positive, awarding a score of 70%. The review questions the relevance of this type of game: "Bone Cruncher is an old-style game and its general aim is a little tired by today's standards. However, it is cleverly designed, presents sufficient challenge for worthy gameplay and the creatures' representation adds considerable charm". When reviewing the Amiga version, they gave a lower score of 61% as while conceding it "plays just as well as the 8-bit game", the fact that "it lacks any attempt at improvement" on a much more capable machine was considered a mistake.

Zzap!64 were less impressed, giving a score of 56% and concluding that the game is a "polished, but merely average addition to an already jaded format". Computer and Video Games, reviewing the C64 version, went further, saying the game is "antiquated" and "a load of dross", awarding only 5/10 for playability and 4/10 for sound, graphics and value.

Antechinus

Antechinus (// ('ant-echinus')) is a genus of small dasyurid marsupial endemic to Australia. They resemble mice with the bristly fur of shrews.

Names
They are also sometimes called 'broad-footed marsupial mice', 'pouched mice', or 'Antechinus shrews'. However, the majority of those common names are considered either regional or archaic; the modern common name for the animal is antechinus.

Description
Antechinus have short fur and are generally greyish or brownish in colour, varying with species. The fur is dense and generally soft. Their tails are thin and tapering and range from slightly shorter to slightly longer than body length. Their heads are conical in shape and ears are small to medium in size. Some species have a relatively long, narrow snout that gives them a shrew-like appearance. Species vary from 12-31 cm in length and weigh 16–170 g when fully grown. A. agilis is the smallest known species, and A. swainsonii the largest.

Sexual dimorphism occurs in most species for both weight and skeletal measurements, with males being typically larger and heavier.

Most species nest communally in tree-hollows. They primarily inhabit all forests, woodlands and rainforest as well as heaths and grasslands in some species. The majority of Antechinus species are located on the eastern coast of Australia along the Great Dividing Range. There is a population of A. flavipes in south west Western Australia. A. bellus lives in northern Australia around the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Taxonomy
There are currently 15 recognised species of Antechinus with a number of subspecies. A few species of New Guinean Antechinus were recognised, but they have been reclassified into the genus Murexia. The interspecific relations of the genus Antechinus are still under review. The currently accepted phylogeny is the presence of four clades within the Antechinus genus. Generally, the clades are formed by species with similar geographic distributions.

Clade 1 (dusky antechinus)

 * A. arktos (black-tailed antechinus)
 * A. mimetes ( mainland dusky antechinus)
 * A. minimus (swamp antechinus)
 * A. swainsonii (Tasmanian dusky antechinus)
 * A. vandycki (Tasman Peninsula dusky antechinus)

Clade 2

 * A. godmani (Atherton antechinus)

Clade 3 (brown antechinus)

 * A. agilis (agile antechinus)
 * A. stuartii (brown antechinus)
 * A. subtropicus (subtropical antechinus)

Clade 4

 * A. argentus (silver-headed antechinus)
 * A. adustus (rusty antechinus)
 * A. bellus (fawn antechinus)
 * A. flavipes (yellow-footed antechinus)
 * A. leo (cinnamon antechinus)
 * A. mysticus (buff-footed antechinus)

Diet
Antechinus are mainly insectivorous, but the exact composition of their diet can vary by species and habitat. Antechinus mainly eat beetles, insect larvae and spiders. Amphipods, millipedes and centipedes are also quite common in their diets. It has been found that after a fire, ants make up the majority of their diet - this is thought to be because ants are the only insect present in any number after the fire. It has been reported that Antechinus also eat vertebrates, mainly small reptiles, such as skinks, or mammals, such as feathertail gliders. This is likely to occur most commonly when the Antechinus are food stressed. The remains of plants have been found in Antechinus stool, likely accidentally ingested while searching for other food. Studies on Antechinus diet usually use faecal samples which may be unreliable in detecting soft bodied prey.

Antechinus are usually classified as dietary generalists as they eat a wide variety of invertebrates as well as some vertebrates. They are also classified as opportunists because they feed on most of the prey available to them However, they do show preference for some prey, i.e. beetles, spiders and larvae, especially when they are not food stressed.

The microhabitat and foraging techniques vary between species. Smaller species, such as A. stuartii, are scansorial and mainly hunt in trees. They have been observed jumping between branches to catch flying insects. The larger species of Antechinus, such as A. swainsonii, are completely ground dwelling and forage in the leaf litter.

The efficiency of Antechinus hunting increases with their age as they learn which prey are the best to eat. Antechinus have been observed scraping slugs on rocks and other objects to remove the mucus and make them more palatable.

Reproduction
Antechinus have an extremely unusual reproductive system. The females are synchronously monoestrous with mating occurring over a short three-week period. The males experience mass mortality after mating, with male survival only observed in very rare cases. Females often mate twice or, in some cases, three times during their lives. The gestation period varies by species between 25 and 35 days. The offspring are independent after about 90–100 days, depending on the species. That development period is rather long compared with other, similarly sized marsupials.

Timing of the breeding season
The timing of the breeding season differs between species and also with the location of populations. The breeding season is in winter or early spring, from July to September. The timing of the breeding season changes very little at the same location between different years. The rate of change of photoperiod, the length of daylight, determines the commencement of the breeding season. Different species respond to different critical rates of change, for example 80% of A. stuartii ovulate when the photoperiod is increasing by a rate of 97-117s/day. The critical rate also varies by location within species.

Antechinus live in the relatively stable environments along the east coast of Australia. Responding to the photoperiod, rather than temperature or rainfall, allows Antechinus to have young developing before the seasonal increase of food experienced, rather than waiting for the increase of food and possibly missing the window of opportunity. The timing of mating ensures that the offspring are weaning when there is a large amount of food available in the environment. The timing of the increase in food changes throughout the different ranges of the various species of Antechinus, a reason for different species having different mating seasons.

Many species of Antechinus occur sympatrically. Whenever two or more species of Antechinus occur together, the critical rate of change of photoperiod which triggers ovulation differs between the species. This reproductive isolation may have led to sympatric speciation. There is a possible genetic link that would allow for the selection of specific responses to different rates of change of photoperiod. The slightly different timings of reproduction by these sympatric species may also mean that they can take advantage of different increases of food in the spring and summer. Larger species of Antechinus usually mate first, meaning that the smaller species may have evolved later mating times to reduce competition and capitalise on later increases in food.

A. swainsonii and A. minimums occur in Tasmania and their reliance on the rate of change of the photoperiod for reproduction is less certain. That is because in higher latitudes the photoperiod changes much faster. Animals that mate when the photoperiod is changing by 35-90s/day would only have two or three days in Tasmania, compared with two weeks in New South Wales.

Females control the synchrony of mating, with males reproductively mature and ready to mate four or five weeks before the breeding season. Males have been selected to be ready before the females to ensure the maximum amount of time for mating.

Reproductive anatomy
Antechinus do not have a complete pouch, as in other marsupials, but simply a flap of skin covering the teats. The number of teats in Antechinus species varies between different populations of the same species, and can be anywhere from six to 13. Populations in which females have six teats are found in lower latitudes where the environment is more stable. In higher latitudes, there are populations with eight to 12 nipples. Odd numbers of teats only occur in transition zones and probably occur when populations with a different number of teats mate. The number of nipples is thought to correlate with the number of young that can be supported. In more seasonal environments, where more nipples occur, there is a larger increase in the availability of food for supporting the young. Females with fewer nipples are more likely to survive until the next breeding season. This is thought to be because it is less stressful to raise a smaller litter. The rate of survival of females to reproduce twice differs between species. The larger species, e.g. A. swainsonii are more likely to survive to reproduce for a second time.

Mating behaviour
Mating is intense for Antechinus and can last up to 12 hours in some species. The males mate with a number of females and the litters have a number of fathers. During the short breeding window, males expand their home range and are often active during night and day.

Males disperse from the nests once they are physiologically independent. Mothers initiate that dispersal but are tolerant of unrelated males in the nest. Inbreeding avoidance is likely to explain that behaviour.

Male semelparity
Male die-off occurs because of an increase in free corticosteroids in the blood, which causes a suppression of the immune system and gastrointestinal ulcers and which result in male mortality. An increase in free corticosteroids is thought to allow males to utilise their reserve energy and maximise their reproductive effort, even though the increase usually proves fatal. If there were no male die-off, there would still only be a small likelihood of males surviving to the next mating period. Thus, it is far better for the males to invest heavily in one breeding season than attempt to survive to the next one.

There are a few possible evolutionary advantages to the evolution of synchronous mating. It may ensure that as many matings as possible occur during the mating period. It also ensures that males can focus all their effort into one short breeding season. Another possible advantage of synchronous mating is to overwhelm predators with large numbers of offspring after weaning.

Torpor
Torpor is periodic lowering of body temperature and metabolic rate to reduce energy consumption. Many marsupials undergo torpor as well as some birds and placental mammals. There are two types of torpor: hibernation which is long term (weeks or months) and daily torpor which is usually only a few hours. Daily torpor involves a less extreme lowering of body temperature and metabolic rate than hibernation. Antechinus undergo daily torpor.

Unlike hibernation, daily torpor is not simply reliant on ambient air temperatures. Antechinus can move into torpor on summer days with temperatures in the range of 25-30 C. This is called spontaneous torpor. Induced torpor occurs when food and water are restricted – this is most easily observed in a laboratory environment as restriction of food in the wild is hard to determine. Torpor of Antechinus in the wild is likely to be the result of a combination of factors.

Antechinus are small mammals and thus have a high surface/volume ratio which results in high heat loss. They also have a high metabolic rate and normothermic temperatures of around 35 °C. Going into torpor allows them to greatly reduce metabolic rates, sometimes up to 80% This reduces both the food and water requirements of the animal.

Torpor in Antechinus usually occurs during rest periods, either in the early morning after nightly foraging or the late afternoon before nightly foraging. However, going into torpor during the night is not uncommon. Torpor allows the animals to conserve energy while they are not foraging. The substantial savings in water requirements during torpor may also help Antechinus cope with droughts.

Body mass is an important factor for the induction of torpor, with larger animals less likely to go into torpor and more likely to stay in torpor for shorter periods of time. This means that males go into torpor less frequently than females. Lactating females do not go into torpor. Torpor in Antechinus can last for one to nine hours and in extreme cases nearly 20 hours. The body temperatures of these animals drops significantly. In female A. flavipes the minimum body temperature during torpor can be around 20 °C. In males it is higher, around 30 °C. Smaller animals have a lower body temperature during torpor.

An increase in the induction of torpor in Antechinus has been found to occur after intense bushfires. Intense bushfires destroy the dense undergrowth that provide Antechinus with shelter and food. After intense bush fires Antechinus were recorded as eating mainly ants, which usually form a very small part of their diet. Increasing the occurrences of torpor, in both males and females, is thought to help with survival after an intense bushfire by reducing the need for foraging and thus avoiding predators. It has been shown that smoke, ash and charcoal provide a cue for torpor induction.

Increasing body temperature after torpor is energetically costly and reduces some of the metabolic savings. However, animals have been observed basking to help increase their body temperature without increasing their food intake.

Females that have survived to a second year go into torpor much more frequently than females that are in their first year, even though second-year females are larger. It is thought that this is because first-year females are still growing and thus need more food which requires more time spent foraging. Older females are also more experienced at foraging and may meet their energy requirements more efficiently.

Threats
A. arktos and A. argentus are currently listed as endangered. The main threats to these species, indeed all species of Antechinus, are habitat destruction and introduced animals.

Deforestation and habitat destruction removes the complex understorey habitat which Antechinus require for protection from predators and for food. Antechinus also nest in tree hollows, which only form in senescent trees.

Introduced predators also threaten Antechinus populations with foxes and cats predating upon Antechinus. There is also competition between Antechinus and introduced rats and mice for habitat and food which may be detrimental to Antechinus numbers. Pigs, cattle and horses trample their habitats.

Changed fire regimes since European arrival have resulted in more intense bushfires which can negatively impact Antechinus populations by destroying understorey vegetation and removing most of their preferred food.

Climate change threatens several high altitude species, especially those in northern Queensland.

As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. – xeno talk 12:39, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Kirsten Bråten Berg, accompanied Ale Møller - Heiemo og Nykkjen (opening verse).ogg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Kirsten Bråten Berg, accompanied Ale Møller - Heiemo og Nykkjen (opening verse).ogg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:07, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Notice of change
Hello. You are receiving this message because of a [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Administrators&oldid=526254016#Restoration_of_the_tools_.28proposal.29 recent change] to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi, David! I don't know if you left us for good or if you indeed drop in from time to time (just without making any edits), but I thought I'd bring to your attention the fact that the list of administrative and municipal divisions of the Republic of Adygea is going to be featured on Main Page on February 21, 2014. Your help in developing that list was enormous (and is equally enormously appreciated), so perhaps the fact that it'll be featured might rekindle your interest in Wikipedia (which'd be super). But if not, then best of luck to you in whatever endeavors outside of Wikipedia keep you busy these days!

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:People executed by disembowelment

A tag has been placed on Category:People executed by disembowelment requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Trojo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Trojo~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:25, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.
