Beeb Birtles

Beeb Birtles (born Gerard Bertelkamp, 28 November 1948) is an Australian musician, singer, songwriter and guitarist. He has been a member of various Australian groups including Zoot (1967–71), Mississippi (1972–74), Little River Band (1975–83) and Birtles Shorrock Goble (2002–07). He has also worked as a solo artist, including releasing an album, Driven by Dreams (2000). In 2004, Birtles and other members of the classic line-up of Little River Band were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame.

Early life
Beeb Birtles was born on 28 November 1948 as Gerard Bertelkamp in Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Gerard Bertelkamp, Sr (30 May 1923 – 4 May 2000), a carpenter and building contractor, and Elisabeth Hendrika (née Deubel; 8 January 1924 – 2 December 2015 ). He has a younger sister, Elisabeth H (born 17 September 1952). Birtles later recalled seeing his parents singing in an amateur operetta in Amsterdam, saying that "I was very young and I went with my grandparents. They took me to the theatre to see my parents, and, er, I was so young that I actually called out my mother's name from the audience!"

The Bertelkamp family emigrated to Australia in September 1959 aboard MS Willem Ruys. The family settled in Adelaide where Birtles attended Netley Primary School – he was held back a year due to his language problems. He discovered a passion for music while attending Plympton High School. His mother taught him to sing: "after dinner at night, we would sing together. And she would take the melody and I would take the harmony." While at high school he was nicknamed "B. B. Eyes", after a Dick Tracy character from the associated TV cartoon show, it soon became "BB" and later "Beeb".

1966-1974: Times Unlimited, Zoot, Frieze and Mississippi
In 1966 after high school Beeb Birtles, initially on lead guitar and harmony vocals, formed his first group, Times Unlimited, with his school mate John D'Arcy on guitars and vocals; they were joined by Ted Higgins on drums and a bass guitarist. D'Arcy was from Manchester and introduced Birtles to the music of the Hollies. When the bass guitarist left, Birtles took over that instrument and soon they asked Darryl Cotton to join on lead vocals.

Times Unlimited changed their name to Down the Line in homage to the Hollies' cover version of Roy Orbison's "Go Go Go (Down the Line)". During 1966, Down the Line played regular gigs in their home town, Adelaide, including a Friday night residency at Scot's Church, performing covers of English Mod groups: the Hollies, the Move, the Who and the Small Faces. By May 1967 they backed English-born singer Johnny Farnham and as session musicians they were used on demos, which secured Farnham's contract with EMI Records. One of the demos, "In My Room", became the B-side of Farnham's debut single, "Sadie (The Cleaning Lady)" (November 1967).

By June 1967 the group had changed their name to Zoot. They moved to Melbourne by mid-1968, where they recorded their debut single, "You'd Better Get Goin' Now". At this time Birtles adopted his professional name: Cotton had shortened his nickname to "Beeb", and Birtles anglicised the first two syllables of Bertelkamp. Birtles and Cotton co-wrote "Little Roland Lost", which was issued as the B-side of Zoot's June 1969 single, "Monty & Me". As a member of Zoot, Birtles appeared on all their recorded material including both of their studio albums, Just Zoot (1970) and Zoot Out (1971), but they broke up in May 1971.

After Zoot, Birtles and Cotton performed together as an eponymous pop, soft rock duo, Daryl and Beeb, which were renamed as Frieze for their sponsors – a clothing company. A teenage-themed newspaper, Go-Set, published its annual reader pop poll in July where Birtles appeared second as Best Bass Guitarist behind the Masters Apprentices member Glenn Wheatley. The duo issued an album, 1972 B. C., in May 1972, which was produced by Brian Cadd, but they disbanded in the next month.

In July 1972, Birtles was asked to join a folk rock band, Mississippi, which like Zoot had moved from Adelaide to Melbourne. The new line-up with Birtles on vocals and guitar, by October, were three of its founders, Graham Goble on vocals and guitar; Russ Johnson on vocals and guitar; John Mower on lead vocals (all ex-Allison Gros); and fellow new members Colin DeLuca on bass guitar (ex-Fugitives); and Derek Pellicci on drums (ex-Ash).

During 1973 the group issued a single, "Early Morning", which had been co-written by Birtles with Goble and Johnson. It peaked at No. 56 on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart. In January 1974 Mississippi appeared at the Sunbury Pop Festival and then released another single, "Will I?", which was co-written by Birtles and former bandmate, Cotton. It reached No. 26. They toured the United Kingdom from May that year, where they "made little headway" and various members left the group. In London they met with fellow Australian musicians Glenn Shorrock (ex-Twilights) and Wheatley – both expressed a desire to return to Australia and work on a new version of Mississippi.

1975-1984: Little River Band and Birtles & Goble
In early 1975 Mississippi band members Birtles, Goble, and Pellicci, had returned to Australia where they recruited Shorrock on lead vocals and Wheatley as their manager. They soon changed their name to Little River Band (LRB) and by year's end included Ric Formosa on guitar and Roger McLachlan on bass guitar. This line-up released their debut self-titled album in November, which was co-produced by Birtles, Goble, Shorrock and Wheatley. It peaked at No. 12 on the Kent Music Report Albums Chart. Their lead single, "Curiosity (Killed the Cat)", which was written by Birtles, appeared ahead of the album in September and reached No. 15 on the related singles chart. Soon after LRB moved to the United States and became "the first Australian band of the 1970s to gain significant international success, paving the way for AC/DC, Air Supply, Men at Work and INXS".

From 1978 to 1980 while still with LRB, Birtles & Goble also performed and recorded together as a duo, they issued three singles "Lonely Lives" (February 1978), "I'm Coming Home" (April 1979) and "How I Feel Tonight" (June 1980). In 1979 he had married Donna Brucks, the US assistant to LRB's booking agent. In May of the next year Birtles & Goble released an album, Last Romance. He told Kruger "I never felt 'pressured' to write hit songs because I've always written from my heart. In the early days quite a few of my songs were picked to be the singles and as we started to become more popular in the States, [Shorrock's] and [Goble's] songs were chosen to be the singles. We always left the choosing of the singles to the record label. As long as I had a few songs on each album, there were no complaints. We were selling millions of albums anyway, so people were still hearing my songs".

After a run of major international chart and critical successes from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, Birtles left LRB in October 1983.

By 1984, Birtles and wife Donna lived in Melbourne: they have two daughters, Hannah and Emmie. He gave his reasons for leaving the group: "I realised I was well and truly burned out from being on the road, travelling the world for eight years straight. It was the right decision at the time for me because my daughters were young and I got to spend their formative years at home with them".

1992-2000: Driven by Dreams
In 1992, Birtles moved to the US with his family. They briefly settled in Donna's hometown of Jefferson, before moving to Nashville, where he and his wife still live – both daughters graduated from college in the US.

In 1998, Birtles and Bill Cuomo established Sonic Sorbet, a music production company. Sonic Sorbet has produced albums for a number of recording artists, including Birtles' first solo album, Driven by Dreams, released in 2000.

2001-2007: Birtles Shorrock Goble and ARIA and Australian Songwriter Hall of Fame
In 2001, Birtles rejoined with Shorrock and Goble to form Birtles Shorrock Goble. Initially they wanted to perform as "The Original Little River Band". However, they were not entitled to use the name Little River Band as it was legally owned by Stephen Housden, the group's guitarist from August 1981 to 2006, after previous members had been paid out upon leaving. Kruger described the situation "due to clumsy paper work and general disinterest on the part of original band members as they each left the group in the 1990s". The group recorded the live album Full Circle, which was released in 2003.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2004, Birtles and other members of the classic line-up of Little River Band were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame.

In 2004, Birtles Shorrock Goble won Classic Rock Performers of the Year at the 2004 Mo Awards and was induction into the Australian Songwriters Association Hall of Fame.

In 2006, Birtles was inducted into the Australian Songwriter's Hall of Fame.

2008-present: Continued performance and autobiography
In 2011 Birtles joined other key members of Zoot for a short performance cruise out from Miami. Further reunions of Zoot were prevented by the death of Darryl Cotton in July 2012. Birtles continued to write and produce music in Nashville.

In 2017, Birtles released his autobiography Every Day of My Life, published by Brolga Publishing (ISBN 1925367975).

Beeb was inducted into the South Australian Music Hall Of Fame on 24 November 2017, alongside Zoot bandmate Darryl Cotton and Barry Smith of the Town Criers. The ceremony took place at the German Club, Adelaide.

Fate Is the Hunter

Fate Is the Hunter is a 1961 memoir by aviation writer Ernest K. Gann. It describes his years working as a pilot from the 1930s to 1950s, starting at American Airlines in Douglas DC-2s and DC-3s when civilian air transport was in its infancy, moving onto wartime flying in C-54s, C-87s, and Lockheed Lodestars, and finally at Matson Navigation's short-lived upstart airline and various post-World War II "nonscheduled" airlines in Douglas DC-4s.

On its publication, in reviewing the book, Martin Caidin wrote that Gann's reminiscences "stand excitingly as individual chapter-stories, but the author has woven them superbly into a lifetime of flight." Roger Bilstein, in a history of flight, says that of books that discuss airline operations from the pilot's point of view, "few works of this genre equal E. K. Gann's 'Fate Is the Hunter,' which strikingly evokes the atmosphere of air transport flying during the 1930s." In 2019, playwright David Mamet, a pilot himself, wrote that Fate Is the Hunter is "the best book written about aviation".

The plot of the 1964 film Fate Is the Hunter had no relation to the book. Gann had written some early drafts of the script, but was so unhappy with the final result that he asked to have his name removed from it. In his autobiography, A Hostage to Fortune, Gann wrote, "They obliged and as a result I deprived myself of the TV residuals, a medium in which the film played interminably."

The plot of Gann's fictional book The High and the Mighty bears some resemblance to one of the true stories in Fate Is the Hunter. On a flight from Hawaii to Burbank, California, the stewardess complained of a vibration that was rattling the dishes and silverware at the rear of the plane. Gann inspected the tail compartment and noticed nothing amiss. The vibration was later traced to a missing elevator hinge bolt, which could have led to aerodynamic unporting and a loss of control. However, Gann was eager to begin his vacation the next day and flew at a higher than expected airspeed, holding the elevator in place.

Another fictional book by Gann, Island in the Sky, is also based on a true story told in Fate Is the Hunter. The book was also made into a movie of the same name.

John Willys

John North Willys (October 25, 1873 – August 26, 1935) was an American automotive pioneer and diplomat. His company, Willys-Overland Motors, became the second largest carmaker in the United States after Henry Ford.

Early life
Born in Canandaigua, New York, Willys began selling bicycles in his hometown and within a few years, expanded into manufacturing his own line of bicycles.

Career
Willys' interest in cars came after an 1899 trip to Cleveland, where he saw an automobile for the first time, and knew they would quickly replace bicycles. Willys returned to New York and opened his first car dealership in Elmira, New York, selling Overland Automomobile brand automobiles. After changing the name to the Willys-Overland Motor Company in 1912, the next year John Willys acquired the Edwards Motor Co of New York which gave him a license to manufacture the patented Knight "sleeve valve" engine. Success saw his car company become the second largest carmaker in the United States and in 1915 he built a seven-story headquarters in Toledo, Ohio, that was the most modern of its day. Before the end of the decade, one-third of the city of Toledo's workforce was employed either at Willys-Overland or at one of the numerous small businesses providing parts and supplies. His automobile empire offered the consumer the choice of an Overland, Willys or Willys-Knight vehicle, each relative to a specific type of engine or price range. Through his holding company, in 1918 John Willys acquired the Moline Plow Company of Moline, Illinois, which manufactured the "Universal" brand of farm tractor and a line of Stephens cars. The following year he acquired control of the Duesenberg company primarily to get his hands on Duesenberg brothers' factory in Elizabeth, New Jersey where he planned to produce a new six-cylinder car.

Labor difficulties began to emerge at the Willys-Overland Toledo plant that resulted in a violent strike in 1919, shutting down the plant for several months. Willys hired General Motors vice-president Walter Chrysler to run the Willys-Overland operation at the then astonishing salary of $1 million a year. However, Chrysler tried to oust John Willys with an attempted takeover bid that backfired when the shareholders resisted his move and Chrysler left in 1921 to go into business for himself.

Although very profitable, Willys' businesses were highly leveraged, expanded and/or acquired through massive borrowings. In 1921, Willys' nervous bankers forced him to consolidate in order to limit their exposure. To raise cash for debt reduction, the Willys-Overland plant in New Jersey was sold at auction to William C. Durant as was Willys' "New Process Gear Company," in Syracuse, New York. With debt under control, Willys once again began expanding and in 1925 bought the F.J. Stearns Co. of Cleveland, Ohio that made a line of luxury vehicles. In 1926 Willys introduced the "Whippet" model line that sold in the U.S., Canada, and Australia.

The Great Depression of the 1930s saw numerous carmakers go out of business, and the Willys enterprises went into bankruptcy reorganization in 1933.

In 2008, Willys was posthumously inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in Dearborn, Michigan.

Personal life
Well respected in the business community, John Willys was a strong supporter of the United States Republican Party who had been an Ohio delegate to the 1916 Republican National Convention. Following the election of Herbert Hoover to the Presidency of the United States, in March 1930 Willys was appointed the first United States Ambassador to Poland, serving until May 1932.

Willys and his wife had at least one daughter, Virginia, who married a rancher, Luis Marcelino de Aguirre, in 1929 when she was 18.

The following year, John Willys and his wife of thirty-seven years divorced. He soon remarried.

Death
He died on August 26, 1935, of a stroke after recovering completely from a previous heart attack that he had in May, at his home in The Bronx, New York City. He was interred in the Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, New York.

Trent Tomlinson

Trent Tomlinson (born July 3, 1975) is an American country music artist. After several failed attempts at finding a record deal, Tomlinson was signed to Lyric Street Records in 2005, with his debut album Country Is My Rock, released in early 2006. This album produced three Top 40 singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts: "Drunker Than Me" at No. 19, "One Wing in the Fire" at No. 11, and "Just Might Have Her Radio On" at No. 21. Three further singles were released in 2009.

Biography
Tomlinson was born in Blytheville, Arkansas. He was raised in Kennett, Missouri. His father is a former basketball star who set scoring records at the University of Missouri and was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was also the basketball coach, biology teacher, and assistant principal at Kennett High School.

In his junior year of high school, Tomlinson reached the finals for "You Can Be a Star," a television talent show on The Nashville Network (now Spike TV), in which Trent placed second. After numerous deals cut short due to labels that went bankrupt or were being taken over, Tomlinson landed a songwriting deal with Cal IV Entertainment. Some of his songs were recorded by Emerson Drive and Blue County on their respective debut albums. He also cut some sides for Lyric Street Records, with whom he later signed a record deal. Tomlinson's debut single, "Drunker Than Me," was released in late 2005, followed by his album Country Is My Rock. Two additional singles were also released from the album: "One Wing in the Fire" and "Just Might Have Her Radio On," the former is a song about Tomlinson's father. Tomlinson also co-wrote the track "Missing Missouri" on Sara Evans's 2005 album Real Fine Place and "Why Can't I Leave Her Alone" on George Strait's 2006 album It Just Comes Natural.

On December 15, 2008, it was announced that Tomlinson would be the second artist signed to Lyric Street's subsidiary label, Carolwood Records. His fourth single, "That's How It Still Oughta Be," made its chart debut in January 2009. That song fell from the charts in May 2009 and was replaced by "Henry Cartwright's Produce Stand." A third single, "Angels Like Her" (a re-recording of a song on his debut), was released on October 26, 2009, shortly before the closure of Carolwood. Tomlinson subsequently returned to Lyric Street before parting ways in March 2010. All three songs were included on an EP titled A Guy Like Me.

Tomlinson released "Man Without a Woman" via Skyville Records in 2011, and did not release an album despite the single charting. In 2014, Parmalee released the single "Close Your Eyes," which Tomlinson co-wrote.

Personal life
Tomlinson married model Jessica Lowman on March 22, 2008. They have one daughter, Harleigh Alexyia Tomlinson, who was born January 14, 2008. Tomlinson and Lowman are now divorced.

Thank you for the new Jacobi method and Gauss-Seidel (which I moved to Gauss-Seidel method). But, as you noticed, they are indeed in very sorry state. Somebody may one day work on them, or may be not. For that reason, if you do know what those methods are about, it would be nice to do work more on them. Especially the article Gauss-Seidel method. I mean, that can't even be called a stub, it is just a link to mathworld, and I am not sure if that's better than no article at all. :) Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 00:32, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey Numsgil, I disagree about the comment on "art form". The article is not about evolutionary music or art, it is about alife. Furthermore, the creation of programs and algorithms to produce music and art is not artistic in of itself, to the extent that science in general is not artistic but creative. I guess this is just semantics, but I think people are less likely to take alife seriously if they read that in the opening paragraph. From reading the article as it stands now, I feel like taking alife less seriously. :'[ MattOates (Ulti) 08:03, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Joint Effort - Maybe A Paper.
Jay:

I have a proposal for you. It is clear that you have strong interest in nomenclature, and it is probably the case that no papers have been written to address the issue. Artificia life/ALife/Alife/alife and perhaps other forms are to be found in extant literature. Might you be interested to jointly pen a paper, an argument for selection of form? William R. Buckley 20:52, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Have you given me an email address for you? Mine is bill.buckley at gmail, and I would like to begin the process of paper writing, if you retain interest, and have any time to now devote. William R. Buckley 20:40, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Wet alife
I didn't delete Wet alife, I deleted Wet artificial life.

Here is the story:

An IP created Wet alife back in the times when it was possible for IPs to create new articles. You expanded the article. Amorrow (a banned user) (as SallyForth123) created Wet artificial life. It is forbidden for banned users to create articles. Apparently, then Amorrow as SallyForth123 redirected Wet alife to Wet artificial life. So I deleted Wet artificial life as an article created by a sockpuppet of a banned user.

In other words, i was deleting a different article created by a banned user. I am sorry if this screwed up any work you did - I blame it on the banned user. I have restored Wet alife, but I urge you to keep an eye out for blocked users screwing with it. I do regret the trouble this caused you. Slrubenstein  |  Talk 15:10, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Grey thumb society
A tag has been placed on Grey thumb society requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Jeodesic (talk) 13:54, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Evolve 4.0

The article Evolve 4.0 has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * Insufficiently verifiable (WP:V). Whilst I was able to track down an interview with Ken Stauffer on the Biota podcast (which I would accept as a WP:SPS), the topic ought to have coverage in published sources also.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Marasmusine (talk) 12:00, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Bobby Pinson

Bobby Olen Pinson (born August 10, 1972) is an American country music artist. Signed to RCA Nashville in 2005, Pinson made his debut that year with his album Man Like Me. Its lead-off single, "Don't Ask Me How I Know", peaked at No. 16 on the Hot Country Songs charts, and was his only Top 40 country hit. Two more albums, I Mean Business and Songs for Somebody, followed in late 2005 and 2007, respectively. He has also written several singles for other artists, including four Number One hits for Toby Keith and another four for Sugarland.

Biography
Bobby Pinson was born August 10, 1972, in Tulsa, Oklahoma but raised in Panhandle, Texas, United States. Influenced by poet and songwriter Shel Silverstein, Pinson began entering writing and storytelling contests, and by high school, he began writing songs as well, citing Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen and Steve Earle as influences. Because his father was a football coach, Pinson was moved throughout the state of Texas, and played football himself in high school.

After graduating from Claremore High School in Oklahoma, Pinson served in the United States Army, in which he served for three years. While in the Army, he founded a band which began playing at local venues in California. In California, he met songwriters Larry Boone and Paul Nelson, who suggested that he move to Nashville, Tennessee, which he did in 1996. Pinson worked several odd jobs in Nashville, including delivering phone books and loading railroad ties for the Santa Fe Railroad.

Musical career
By 1999, he was signed to a publishing contract with Sony/ATV Music. Artists who recorded his material included Blake Shelton, Marty Stuart and LeAnn Rimes. His first single release as a songwriter was Tracy Lawrence's 2000 single "Unforgiven", and three years later, McHayes (a duo composed of Wade Hayes and Mark McClurg) charted with "It Doesn't Mean I Don't Love You", which Pinson co-wrote with Trent Willmon. Pinson also co-wrote Marty Stuart's 2003 single "If There Ain't, There Ought'a Be", and Willmon later charted with one of Pinson's songs, "The Good Life", in early 2005 from his self-titled debut album.

After playing at several artist and songwriter showcases, Pinson was discovered by producer Joe Scaife, who helped him sign to a contract with RCA Records Nashville. His debut single, "Don't Ask Me How I Know", charted in early 2005 and reached a peak of No. 16 on the Billboard country charts. This was the first single from his debut album Man Like Me. The album's second single, "Way Down", peaked at No. 58, and by the end of 2005, Pinson exited RCA's roster. He did, however, re-release an independent album originally recorded in 1994 called I Mean Business.

Despite the loss of his record deal, Pinson continued to write songs for other singers. Lawrence charted another Pinson co-write, "If I Don't Make It Back", in 2006. His first Number One as a songwriter came in late 2006, when Sugarland topped the Billboard country charts with "Want To", which he co-wrote with the duo's members, Kristian Bush and Jennifer Nettles. Trent Tomlinson also released a Pinson co-write, "One Wing in the Fire", in late 2006. He released a third album, Songs for Somebody, in 2007 on an independent label. This album included his own rendition of "If I Don't Make It Back". That same year, two more songs that he co-wrote entered the charts: "What I Did Last Night" by Catherine Britt and "We Weren't Crazy" by Josh Gracin.

In 2008, Pinson also began writing with Toby Keith, including the singles "She's a Hottie", "She Never Cried in Front of Me", "Lost You Anyway", "Made in America", "Beers Ago", "I Like Girls That Drink Beer" and "Shut Up and Hold On". "35 MPH Town". "She Never Cried in Front of Me" and "Lost You Anyway" were released from Keith's 2008 album That Don't Make Me a Bad Guy, on which all but three songs were co-written by Keith and Pinson. He also has several cuts on Sugarland's 2008 album Love on the Inside, including its first three singles: "All I Want to Do", "Already Gone" and "It Happens", all of which were also Number One hits. Pinson and Terry McBride also co-wrote Brooks & Dunn's 2009 single "Honky Tonk Stomp". Pinson, Eric Church, Jeff Hyde and Clint Daniels also co-wrote Eric Church's 2019 single "Some of It". Pinson and Arlo Gilliam also co-wrote Emerson Drive's 2012 single "She's My Kind of Crazy". Pinson, Rhett Akins and Dallas Davidson also co-wrote Aaron Lewis's 2013 single "Granddaddy's Gun". Pinson, Brantley Gilbert, Blake Chaffin also co-wrote Brantley Gilbert's 2017 single "The Ones That Like Me".

Gravedigger (forum context)
I've seen a few people mention that the term "gravedigger" is used to brand those who essentially "dig" up old threads that would be considered dead due to a lack of interest and overall activity. Would that be relevant to cover in the article? 75.2.9.203 23:41, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Not really. Most people (in the real world) couldn't care less about stuff like this, but I wouldn't be suprised if it gets included anyway, as the majority of Wikipedia editors do. - 85.210.43.171 18:13, 23 November 2006 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned

Error, but how to fix?
"in the first three or fifty centuries of the Christian Era" is obviously wrong, but what should it say? "the first three to fifth"? "the third to fifth"? Huw Powell (talk) 20:29, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

"Gang culture"
hi. the section Gang culture was added in january 2009, and removed in may 2009 by Eleland as a hoax. in november 2009, the section was restored and exists in the current revision. problem is, the sources dont back up the assertions, and the whole section just sounds wrong. i, for one, never heard of this, but i dont know gang culture as well as others might. -badmachine 18:36, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

relevance of "Marxism" section?
i question the relevance of a whole section for a single metaphorical use, which is self-explanatory within the texts where it originates and isn't directly relevant to the topic
