World Harvest Radio International

World Harvest Radio International (WHRI) was a shortwave radio station in the United States, broadcasting conservative religious programming worldwide in the English language on a number of frequencies. Part of the Family Broadcasting Corporation Christian broadcasting group, WHRI is based in Cypress Creek, South Carolina, with programs for audiences in Asia broadcast from T8WH in Palau.

History
Lester Sumrall founded the Lester Sumrall Evangelistic Association (LeSEA) and its humanitarian arm LeSEA Global Feed the Hungry, World Harvest Radio International.

WHRI signed on in 1985 with their first service, Angel 1, covering Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Its 2nd service from WHRI, Angel 2 went on the air in 1987, covering Europe, Central and South America.

In 1993, WHRI opened a second station, KWHR (transmitted from Ka Lae, the southernmost point in Hawaii), which provided Angel 3 covering China and Eastern Asia, expanding in 1997 with Angel 4, covering the South Pacific. The license for KWHR expired in 2009. Angel 3 and Angel 4 now transmit from T8WH in Palau, a station which had originally been built by High Adventure Ministries in the mid-1980s, and operated for some 15 years under the call sign KHBN. The Palau site is no longer in operation, having closed October 27, 2019. Along with the sale of WHRI, this concludes all of World Harvest Radio's shortwave broadcasting.

In 1998, its third station, WHRA in Greenbush, Maine, signed on with Angel 5, a signal for Africa and the Middle East. As of November 17, 2009, World Harvest ceased operations of WHRA and dismantled its facilities, with its frequencies reassigned for WHRI.

WHRI also operates Angel 6 with a signal primarily for Mexico.

In August 2020, it was announced that WHRI was selling its facilities to Allen Weiner, owner of Monticello, Maine-based shortwave station WBCQ, pending FCC approval.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Removal from the Order of Canada/archive1

Removal from the Order of Canada
Self-renom. I had two attempts before, but since the last one, I had it spell and grammar checked and the images have not changed a bit. Zach (Sound Off) 02:18, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Object. Since the book depicted in Image:AlanEaglesonbookcover.jpg is not discussed in the article, use of the image is not "fair use". --Carnildo 07:24, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Removed. Zach (Sound Off) 13:15, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm not sure it really makes sense to me to have an article about removal from the order as a standalone. Should this not be merged into Order of Canada?  It seems to me on reading it that the prose is far from concise and could be condensed substantially in any case.  There are also numerous spelling errors at the moment. Worldtraveller 11:43, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * There was an AFD that asked for this article to be merged into the main Order of Canada (also an FA), but after I beefed it up, many who voted merge said to vote keep instead. I still believe this can stand out on its own. I also fixed the spelling errors and I also made the article into British English. Zach (Sound Off) 13:15, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if it would change anything, but shouldn't this be in Canadian English? - Mgm|(talk) 08:36, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I will get the Firefox spell check add in for the Canadian EN and run that through all Order of Canada related articles. Zach (Sound Off) 16:04, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The only word that seems to have issues is "criticised," but I am not sure how it is spelt in Canada EN. Other than that, the article is fine on the "spelling" front, unless something is added to it. Zach (Sound Off) 16:49, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Canadian spelling typically uses -ize over -ise. — mendel ☎ 20:06, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Object—prose not good enough. Here's just one example:
 * 'though the removal process is started by individual Canadians or by various groups inside of Canada'.

It's a false contrast to use 'though' (better 'although') here. 'Initiated' rather than 'started'. Remove redundant 'of'. 'Inside Canada', in any case, is another false contrast, because the institution is also that. Needs thorough editing to be considered for nomination. I agree with the comments above about the need to merge this with the related article. Tony 01:50, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I fixed the above statement, but I had the article copyedited before I sent it here. I am still against the idea of a merge, since the AFD I pointed out earlier called for a merge, but was defeated. I personally believe this article can stand out on its own. Tony, if you think my grammar is not that great (which you said this at other FAC's I started/worked on), then I welcome you to come in and fix it yourself. Zach (Sound Off) 02:06, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose The process of removal may be interesting, but it has only been successfully applied against two OoC recipients (Alan Eagleson and David Ahenakew) and is therefore not significant enough (i.e., there are other worthy candidate articles) for nomination.  As well, more of Eagleson's situation should be described (being the first inductee removed), and the syntax and content of the article can be improved upon (e.g., Christie or Christy)? E Pluribus Anthony 07:13, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

The President's Last Bang

The President's Last Bang: is a 2005 satirical black comedy film by South Korean director Im Sang-soo about the events leading to and the aftermath of the assassination of Park Chung Hee, then the South Korean President, by his close friend and Korean Intelligence Agency director Kim Jae-kyu.

The film's portrayal of Park was a subject of controversy, leading to a lawsuit against the film's makers by Park Chung Hee's only son, Park Ji-man. In 2005, a ruling by the Seoul Central Court ordered that 3 minutes and 50 seconds of documentary footage (mostly of demonstrations) be censored out of the film. In response, the director had the excised footage replaced with a blank screen for its running time. During its theatrical run, both nationally and internationally, only the censored version was shown.

The ruling was appealed, and in August 2006 overturned, with the court issuing the following statement: "We must broadly confirm the right of free expression concerning the depiction of public historical figures." The court also concluded that several scenes were an unjust smear against the former president and ordered MK Pictures, the production company that financed the film, to pay President Park's family 100 million won (roughly US$105,000).

Almost the entirety of the film focuses on the few hours before and after Park's assassination on October 26, 1979. Undoubtedly the most controversial aspect of the film is its portrayal of Park: in the film, he is shown to be a cowardly libertine who is seen having late-night drinking parties, pawing young women, and in particular having much admiration for Japanese culture to the point of occasionally speaking Japanese himself. The memory of Japanese occupation remains fresh in the minds of many South Koreans; this was seen to imply Park had affection for—if not association with—Korea's former colonial rulers.

Plot
At a luxurious brothel in South Korea, KCIA Chief Agent Ju deals with the mother of a young woman who was one of South Korean president Park Chung Hee's playmates, who has come with her daughter to offer her again to the President, by interrogating and intimidating them.

KCIA director Kim gets scolded by a doctor about his drinking, a direct result of having to attend President Park's drinking parties. Scenes of various officials and low officers making their way to a heavily guarded safehouse follow, including Chief Agent Ju procuring an attractive young woman and the famous enka and trot singer Sim Soo-bong for the party.

During the dinner, President Park, his personal bodyguard, Cha Ji-cheol, Director Kim, Chief Secretary Yang (appointed to the post to be Park's drinking buddy, and portrayed as a total sycophant) discuss how to deal with demonstrators, with Cha berating Kim for not being repressive enough. Kim, having been agitated the entire day, decides then to kill Park, and hatches the plan with Chief Agent Ju and KCIA Colonel Min.

Director Kim returns to the party, shoots Cha (who is unarmed) and Park, each with a single shot before jamming the pistol. Soon thereafter, Agent Ju and Col. Min and a few minions kill the president's personal bodyguards and secure the building. Kim comes back with another gun, finishes off Cha, and gives Park his personal opinion before executing him with a shot to the head.

They move to make the scene resemble an ambush by North Korean forces, and Kim uses the political fear and tension to his advantage while convening a Cabinet Council. Later, Director Kim and Colonel Min meet with the Army higher-ups to sell them their version of events, but Chief Secretary Yang gets to them first and tells what really happened.

With every agency under its own authority and the possibility of inter-agency war looming, the Army arrests Director Kim, leaving Agent Yu and Colonel Min helpless and confused. Realizing their fate, they call their families to say goodbye.

Prime Minister Choi Kyu-hah ascends to the presidency, and the fates of those involved at the party—most of them executed—are listed.

 * Baek Yoon-sik as KCIA Director Kim Jae-kyu
 * Han Suk-kyu as KCIA Chief Agent Joo (based on Park Seon-ho)

Release
It screened in the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.

The Atheism Tapes

The Atheism Tapes is a 2004 BBC television documentary series presented by Jonathan Miller. The material that makes up the series was originally filmed in 2003 for another, more general series,  Atheism: A Rough History of Disbelief, but was too lengthy for inclusion. Instead, the BBC agreed to create The Atheism Tapes as a supplementary series of six programmes, each consisting of an extended interview with one contributor.

Programmes
All six programmes were conducted in the form of interviews; the synopses below are summaries of the interviewees' responses to Miller's questions.

Colin McGinn
English philosopher McGinn speaks about the various reasons for not believing in God, and some of the reasons for. He gives a thorough treatment of the ontological argument. In addition, McGinn draws an important distinction between atheism (lack of belief in a deity) and antitheism (active opposition to theism); he identifies himself as both an atheist and an antitheist. Finally, he speculates about a post-theistic society.

Steven Weinberg
American physicist Weinberg talks about the effectiveness of the Design Argument, both in the past and today. He also discusses the reasons that people become religious, including the varying influences of physical and biological arguments against religion. Miller connects this to a higher likelihood of biologists being non-believers than physicists, which Weinberg finds surprising.

Weinberg goes on to distinguish between harm done in the name of religion from that done by religion and states that both of these are very real and very dangerous. He goes on to discuss the difference between religious belief in America and Europe, and about how he doesn't like the "character" of the monotheistic God. He ends by saying that science is very definitely corrosive to religious belief, and that he considers this a good thing.

Arthur Miller
American playwright Arthur Miller talks about his atheism from a Jewish perspective. He discusses his view that some cases of antisemitism come from Christians who believe Jewish people are disbelievers because they do not believe Christ was the son of God. They also discuss the overlay of religion and patriotism, particularly with American politics, but also on how many of the wars today come from the mixture of nationalism and religious beliefs. Lastly, he explains how he does not believe that there is an afterlife except in the sense that people are remembered by the material possessions that they leave behind or the deeds that they did during their life that still affect the world.

Richard Dawkins
English biologist Richard Dawkins first talks about how the view that evil exists may come from a personification of some principal belief. Next, he explains the process by which he became an atheist despite being raised as an Anglican. They then discuss at length natural selection and how it acts as the guiding force for evolution. He also points out the fallacy in using a God-of-the-gaps argument for explaining the world. Next, he goes over the importance of holding and defending an atheist world view.

Denys Turner
British theologian Denys Turner points out that being an atheist or theist depends largely upon what questions you ask yourself. He then shares his view that atheism can also suffer from its own sort of fundamentalism. They spend some time covering the issue of why or how something comes from nothing.

Daniel Dennett
American philosopher Dennett explains why he called one of his books Darwin's Dangerous Idea, and why many of Darwin's contemporaries, in particular, considered Darwin's theory of evolution to be dangerous. He goes on to deal with the question of consciousness (i.e., is the consciousness/soul distinct from the body), talking about Darwin's rejection of the soul and the possible origins and psychological purposes of a belief in an immaterial soul.

Next, he talks about his Christian upbringing and how he became an atheist. He goes on to ask why it is thought rude to criticise religious belief, and suggests that it is due to the influential status of the religions in question. He finishes by wondering whether we could live effectively in a post-theistic world.

Talk:Sand blasting

I removed this, because according to desert varnish, it is the absence, not the presence of sandblasting which allows desert varnish. I believe desert varnish to be correct. WayneConrad 02:22, 6 October 2005 (UTC):

 * In nature, sandblasting of exposed rock surfaces in arid environments can create a dark coating called desert varnish.

Shouldn't there be a separate article for bead blasting?
Bead blsting currently redirects here, but this article states that bead blasting is not technically the same process (without further elaboration), so should it not maybe have its own article?Matthew CB Allen 15:08, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * A seperate article was created, but it contained little additional information and basically turned into an advert for a company using bead blasting to clean swimming pools, so I've changed that article back to a redirect to this page CultureDrone (talk) 16:36, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Far Side
There's a The Far Side cartoon that shows two men on a desert island, one is building a sandcastle and the other is picking up an "ACME Sandblaster" from the ocean and looking evilly at his companion and thinking "Alriiiiiiight!"

Founded in January 1999 as Triton PCS Holdings by Mark Balfour, SunCom has gone through many deals with other cellular carriers. The SunCom brand was actually used by three separate companies in the beginning, Triton, TeleCorp and Tritel, all working in cooperation with one another and in partnership with AT&T Wireless. Tritel was purchased by TeleCorp in 2001, with AT&T Wireless finalizing its purchase of TeleCorp in 2003. By 1995, Suncom was developed and had a significant share of the wireless market. In December 2004, SunCom acquired 29,139 customers from Cingular Wireless as part of a deal of exchanging towers. In March 2005, SunCom sold 169 cell towers in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Puerto Rico to Global Signal Acquisitions. SunCom formed an agreement with Global Signal Acquisitions in June 2005 to lease tower space that they subsequently sold. In October 2005, SunCom agreed to sell the 29,139 customers from the deal in 2004 back to Cingular.

On September 17, 2007, T-Mobile USA Inc. announced it would acquire SunCom for approximately $1.6 billion in cash and $800 million in assumed debt. The deal closed on February 22, 2008.

Cellular services
SunCom's operations provided service across North Carolina, South Carolina, northern Georgia, parts of eastern Tennessee, central Arkansas and southwest Virginia, as well as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Beginning in 2001, SunCom merged with AT&T Wireless that served states in the Great Lakes area including Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan. This was short lived and lasted only a year.

As of 2007, SunCom Wireless provided wireless service utilizing the GSM standard and operating in the 1900MHz PCS frequency-band, except for one 800MHz license in CMA 629 (Myrtle Beach, SC). Originally, SunCom utilized TDMA as its technology platform when it constructed its wireless network in 1999 and began offering service. In 2003, the company began overlaying GSM, along with its associated GPRS technology, completing the upgrade by June 2004 and enabling access across SunCom's footprint. At the time, this was a significant upgrade from TDMA as GSM/GPRS offered more advanced wireless capabilities including data and video transmission.

Suncom Wireless operated in two separate and distinct regional areas: one in the Southeast U.S. and one in the Caribbean.

Southeast U.S. operations
The company's Southeast operations provided service across North and South Carolina, eastern Georgia, northeastern Tennessee, and southwestern Virginia. SunCom owned wireless licenses in the "28 Basic Trading Areas" as defined by the FCC which covered SunCom Wireless's southeast region. These licenses included the major metropolitan areas of Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh-Durham-Cary, and Charleston and in aggregate encompass a population of over 14 million people.

SunCom Wireless completed the migration of its remaining TDMA Customer Base to GSM on September 30, 2006. In the final days of its operation, SunCom Wireless only operated on the GSM platform.

Caribbean operations
In the Caribbean, SunCom operated in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The company owned 3 wireless licenses covering this territory, which had a population of more than 4 million people.

Ecce Homo (exhibition)

Ecce Homo was a controversial exhibition of 12 photographs of different biblical situations, in modern surroundings, taken by the Swedish photographer Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin. The first vernissage of the exhibition was in Stockholm, July 1998 and attracted much attention. When the exhibition was shown in the cathedral of Uppsala in September it caused a national debate. The reactions was often very emotional, and both positive and negative. The photos portrayed Jesus among homosexuals, transgender people, leatherpeople and people with AIDS, sometimes in erotic situations. The exhibition toured Scandinavia and continental Europe between 1998 and 2004. An Ecce Homo exhibition opened in October 2012 in the Belgrade Pride festival in Belgrade, Serbia, and was guarded by a number of riot police, due to rioting in the ensuing controversy.

The photographs
The photos recreated classical Christian motifs, but substituted the persons or the surrounding context with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender-related (LGBT) issues and persons, diverted in an erotic way for some of them. An example of context substitution is the recreation of the motif of Mary holding Jesus (the Pietà motif), with the surrounding context being that of a medical facility, with Freddie Mercury, who represented Jesus, dying from AIDS.

The photographs are all connected to, and shown together with, quotations from the Bible and depicts: Annunciation Luk 1:30–31, Birth of Jesus Luk 2:7, Baptism of Jesus Luk 3:21–22, Woes of the Pharisees Matt 23:13, The Arriving to Jerusalem Luk 19:37–40, Last Supper Matt 26:26–28, The kiss of Judas Matt 26:45–48, Jesus being weighed down by the cross Mark 15:17–20, Crucifixion of Jesus Matt 27:45–46, Pietàn Joh 19:26, Jesus showing himself to the women Matt 28:9–10 and Heaven Matt 18:18. Many of the pictures are inspired of classical paintings and all of them are photographed in a modern surrounding. The photographer has deliberately used homosexual models to communicate the likeness between biblical situations of being unaccepted and modern ones, and to show the all-embracing love of God. On the photo of the Last Supper there are transgender instead of homosexual models, as a comment of the fact that Jesus according to the Bible often partook in meals together with people not accepted by society.

Controversy
As the exhibition toured Sweden, primarily in churches and congregations of the Lutheran Church of Sweden, it sparked an intense debate both from within the church and from other churches. Slides of the photographs were shown in Uppsala Cathedral with the permission of the dean Tuulikki Koivunen Bylund, sanctioned by K. G. Hammar, the archbishop of Uppsala and head of the Church of Sweden. The opinion of Swedish society was deeply polarized, with some considering it to be a radical expression of Christian love while others considered it to be sacrilegious. According to Hammar, "We had two piles of letters, they were about the same size all of the time."

Some LGBT members of the church described the showing and defend the exhibition as the first time they felt at home in the church and embraced by it. Other LGBT members felt the erotic pictures perpetuated stereotypes about their community, or felt more alienated from the church after the vitriolic debate that followed the exhibition. Tord Harlin, the bishop of Uppsala, described the exhibition as "At best it is bad theology, at worst it is blasphemy." Reflecting upon the exhibition in an interview in 2004, K. G. Hammar said:"Yes I found the picture difficult at a personal level, but that wasn't the issue. This was about homosexuals, a group who have a hard time to feel at home in the church. Should pictures which in a very charged way illustrated their part in Jesus be removed just because we found them difficult on a personal level? Then we would have sent the signal that the church and the homosexuals are two different worlds which are not to be mixed."

The photo considered most controversial was the one portraying the baptism of Jesus in a public bathhouse, in which the penis of the Jesus character was visible.

Due to archbishop K. G. Hammar's sanction and defense of the exhibition, the Pope John Paul II cancelled an audience granted to the archbishop planned for mid october 1998. A year later, the archbishop met with the Pope to confirm a new theological agreement between Lutherans and Catholics. The cancelled audience, the exhibition or the topic of homosexuality were not brought up at the meeting.

Talk:C. Wright Mills

Death
Why no info about how/when he died. Yes, it says 1962 several times, but what was the cause? He was only about 46. 98.221.141.21 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:56, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Untitled
That timeline needs to be taken down for three reasons; it's egregiously biased, factually incorrect (the women's rights movement does not begin and end at the same time as the civil rights movement), and doesn't cite any sources for the multitude of 'Empire vs. ToWhomItMayConcern' events, specifically the many engagments against China leading up to and during WWII. (Kyle V) 129.116.12.7 (talk) 01:29, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

This article is really bizarre. I especially like the 'timeline' which puts C. Wright Mills' books in the 'context' of a risibly crude and one-sided view of the US's role in international relations. It's quite high-school... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.148.166 (talk) 19:21, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * thanks, I like to be cheesy :) I think the background is relevant, especially with his work on power elite. Oh, and, it's better to fix it rather than to remove it :) Mehmetaergun (talk) 04:22, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Wow. This article is severely craptastic. Um, I wish I could help, but I don't know where to start. --Defenestrate 03:47, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

There are serious flaws in this entry. First, the introduction and the section marked 'Outlook' are too hagiographics; moreover, the 'Outlook' section is filled with typographical and grammatical errors, as well as significant flaws in composition and orderliness. On the other hand, the entry is quite good in listing Mills's works and describing their theses. As a whole, however, this entry is greatly biased and needs severe cleaning-up.

I think his ideas are valuable because they introduced a whole new way of thinking in sociology.

 * I think it'd be nice to get a picture of him in here guy... --Cyberman 21:30, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

-- While I think it is nice that someone is putting Mills' ideas to use on their personal website(asadi.org) and in their books, I think inline hyperlinks to that website and its derivative works do not aid or enhance the content of this article, and are distracting. I feel there is a personal motive to this inclusion, which is unencyclopedic.

-- Wow. This article is terrible. Is there some kind of cult that worships this guy or something? I feel like any attempt to neutralize the article's POV as it stands now will result in leaving nothing but the man's name and a list of works. User:Transentient 12 July 2006

".....had totally failed to explain phenomenon that were now concentrated in the international arena".

Had totally failed to understand that "phenomenon" is not a plural.

Why is there no way to correct the introductory part of this entry?

Mills is very Important Sociologist!Look at the US goverment is crowded with Armdealers like Cheney,Military people like Colin Powell and Oil traders like "Condi" Rice.But the Articel is DULL!Academish dull! And C.Wright Mills was never dull,or Academish dull!He was a good writer with good sence of humor!Look at the Swedish article written by sociologist Jan Milch.He is bright and good writer like C.W Mills! Herbert Wells

The section on the power elite and the sociological imagination was written by me, m.asadi, directly from my summation of Mills' work, yet you all have the audacity to remove my site http://www.asadi.org from the list of links. This is BS. m.asadi —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.125.143.73 (talk) 08:11, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

 * @m.asadi - you should review the community norms and terms of contribution to Wikipedia. Contributing material here is not about pimping your work or artificially inflating your site's pagerank. Audacity has nothing to do with removing the link (and coincidentally, neither did I). I apologize if you find this arrangement frustrating, and I hope you'll continue to contribute to Wikipedia in the future. At the same time, I hope you'll take the time to learn more about the rules, responsibilities, and expectations that go along with it. Aaronshaw (talk) 20:21, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you Mr Wells,but i think the page is excellent!The contributions from Regainfo on the subject in english and italian is worth some kind of award!Friendly Jan Milch

I tried to start cleaning up the opening paragraphs a bit. I also took a look at some of the sections on The Sociological Imagination. As others have said, the writing here is really very spotty, so I encourage more people to contribute!Aaronshaw (talk) 20:21, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

There is nothing in the community "norms" that says that references should be removed together with source links as "pimping your website". This I find extremely offensive and rude, and it tells me that the moderator is overstepping his authority by making such comments. Thanks, m.asadi —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.230.135.36 (talk) 03:06, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

 * M.asadi, I believe you are acting in good faith, but it is a conflict of interest to promote your own material by including it, especially when it is not clear what value it is adding to the article. If your material is notable, trust that it will be added independently by other editors. 203.217.150.68 (talk) 00:50, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

I added C. Wright Mills photo but Bot took it a way assuming it was sabotage, but it is not, see: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:!!!Mills,C.W.JPG Juha Suoranta (talk) 07:24, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Picture
The current self-made picture of Mills is very bad. So bad, in fact, the article would be better without it. I will remove it if no-one disagrees. - Crosbiesmith (talk) 16:36, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I've fixed most of the relatively easy to fix, but ...
gawgghh! that Outlook section....Haberstr (talk) 08:06, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

footnote one
Anyone able to fix the screaming red objections in footnotes to multiple different instances of footnote one? "Cite error: Invalid tag; name "Mills.27_Letters_and_Autobiography" defined multiple times with different content (see the help page).""

Lang Lang, Victoria

Lang Lang is a town in Victoria, Australia, 73 km south-east of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the Shires of Bass Coast, Cardinia and South Gippsland local government areas. Lang Lang recorded a population of 2,556 at the 2021 census.

The village is just off the South Gippsland Highway near its intersection with the Bass Highway, on the Lang Lang River and borders the region of Dalmore, a large asparagus growing region. Lang Lang also caters to beef, dairy farming and sand mines.

Etymology
Lang Lang was formerly known as Carrington, after Lord Carrington.

The origin of the name Lang Lang is debated. In the Australian Aboriginal Woiwurrung language, the name Lang Lang, also spelled Laang Laang, meant "stones" or "stony".

An alternate explanation is that the town is named in honour of an early settler in the region, called Lang.

Location and features
A Lang Lang post office opened on 20 May 1878. In 1891, after the arrival of the railway, it was renamed Lang Lang West and a new Lang Lang office was opened near the station. A post office known as Lang Lang East opened in 1885 but was replaced by Nyora in 1890, again near the station.

General Motors Holden operated the Lang Lang Vehicle Proving Ground, a vehicle development, durability testing, safety test centre and exhaust emission facility, located on the South Gippsland Highway near Lang Lang.

A rodeo has been held regularly at Lang Lang on Easter Monday since the 1940s. The town has an Australian rules football team competing in the Ellinbank & District Football League as well as an netball team. Golfers play at the course of the Lang Lang Golf Club on the South Gippsland Highway, Nyora.

Population
In the 2016 Census, there were 1,585 people in Lang Lang. 84.8% of people were born in Australia and 92.9% of people spoke only English at home. The most common responses for religion were No Religion 38.2%, Anglican 20.4% and Catholic 18.6%.

Transport
Lang Lang was formerly situated along the South Gippsland railway corridor that operated to its terminus at Yarram in the early 1980s and Leongatha in the mid 1990s. A V/Line road coach service replaced the rail service to Leongatha on 24 July 1993, running between Melbourne and Yarram. However, since the closure of the South Gippsland rail line with the exception of the locally run tourist railway between Nyora and Leongatha by the Kennett Victorian government on 14 December 1994, the South and West Gippsland Transport Group represented by the local council are campaigning for the rail services to be reinstated beyond the current terminus at Cranbourne by the 2020s.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Mark Sanders (2nd nomination)

Based on an interpretation of WP:BIO, I believe that the bio on Mark Sanders is valid and should not be deleted as it qualifies under 2 sections of the "People still alive" section. section 1:Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more section 2:Recording musicians who have sold more than 5,000 albums, CDs, or similar recordings

Nearly none of the composers present on the Tracker page have sold more than 5,000 albums (and in fact most have never published a single album given the nature of what they do), however many of the listees have had audiences of at least 5,000. The page on Mark Sanders is thus germane to the spirit of the other listees and the format as a biography is similar to those with bios such as Bogdan Raczynski, Hunz, Alexander Brandon, Venetian Snares, Purple Motion, Lagoona, Andrew Sega, Bjørn Lynne, Peter Hajba etc.

Additionally, according to the "Alternative tests" section of the same WP:BIO, most of the tests are passable
 * The professor test -- The number of partial releases in Partial List of Releases. pass
 * Verifiability -- Many of his releases have been published on hornet/demoscene related disks. pass
 * Expandability -- It already is more than a stub, pass
 * Autobiography -- I used to know the subject personally and produced parts of the article, pass
 * Google Test -- the partial list of external links were all found from cursory searches on Google. More is easily obtainable, search for most of the song titles and should be able to find them pass

That's 5 out of 7...more than many other bios I've seen on wikipedia and especially the tracker section.

As for notability, I think the article is reasonably unbiased and the notability is self explanatory. Sanders' work easily compares to any of the others on the list with few exceptions (maybe Dr. Awesome, Lizardking and C.C.Catch) and more notable than most on the list (Heatbeat, Acumen, elmobo (name borrowed from elblanco FYI), Dune, Warder, Elwood, Lagoona, Awesome, Venetian Snares, Siren, Rapture, Ivory, Anders Åkerheden, Zola (btw NOT the most famouse female tracker by far try Skie or at least Ms. Saigon), Solo, Virt, LittleElk, Terminal11, Widgetfreak, Bogdan Raczynski etc.) I mean common, who ARE these people? I've participated closely in the scene for more than a decade and never even heard of most of these people even once. So for notability Sanders is a clear pass which is why I even went through the trouble of making a bio page for him. Since he is retired from the scene his info is getting a bit more difficult to find.

Appears to be a clear non-delete case
While I am no expert on scene music per se having come in rather late. I have heard and seen some demos and music through old college friends who did create things for it. El Blanco's music was always present on my friends' computers as they did participate in the scene. There was also a DJ (DJ-Saiko) who liked to spin some of his work. He certainly seems notable and has numerous references in the old Demonews, Traxweekly and Staticline scene zines. Coplan used to cite his work specifically as his favorite. Not "one of" but "the". Also most of the other bios listed on the tracker page don't seem to indicate any sort of notability whatsoever when there are bios and most of the people on the list don't even have a stub. I can't say if El Blanco is famous or not, but in my personal experience he was certainly played almost as much as Necros. I can't see a reason to delete his page and leave up some of the others. The way I see it, keep his page with the others, or delete his and the others since they don't stand out anymore than his. Lonejack 16:51, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Don't delete
This is a vanity page? You mean like all the other people listed on tracker? Hell, I've seen worse biographies on the list of programmers at Programmer. It's remarkable that there are hundreds of coders listed and only a handful of composers? I thought trackers and coders were two out of three parts of the demoscene? Actually a better comparison would be List of composers. Lesse, under List of Indonesian Composers is one bio for I Nyoman Windha. What is he famous for? He writes gamalan music in 3/4 time. Yay. By the dubious assertions here against Sanders, he also shouldn't be listed. But he is. And he hasn't been deleted since the last change in April. Way I see it, Sanders is a composer with an interesting record and major contributions to his particular sub-genre of electronic music. At least as interesting and "notable" as I Nyoman Windha. 67.109.180.226 23:17, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

As for notability, I think the article is reasonably unbiased and the notability is self explanatory. Sanders' work easily compares to any of the others on the list with few exceptions (maybe Dr. Awesome, Lizardking and C.C.Catch) and more notable than most on the list (Heatbeat, Acumen, elmobo (name borrowed from elblanco FYI), Dune, Warder, Elwood, Lagoona, Awesome, Venetian Snares, Siren, Rapture, Ivory, Anders Åkerheden, Zola (btw NOT the most famouse female tracker by far try Skie or at least Ms. Saigon), Solo, LittleElk, Terminal11, Widgetfreak, Bogdan Raczynski etc.) I mean come on!, who ARE these people? I've participated closely in the scene for more than a decade and never even heard of most of these people even once. So for notability Sanders is a clear pass which is why I even went through the trouble of making a bio page for him. Since he is retired from the scene his info is getting a bit more difficult to find.

Rebuttal

 * If he were notable, his info would not get "a bit more difficult to find". I also don't believe you've "participated closely in the scene", if you are aren't aware of Heatbeat, elmobo (Moby, the French MOD musician, btw - NOT borrowed from elblanco), Dune, Elwood, Siren, and Virt's notability.  Try looking them all up on www.scenemusic.net .  Your best argument would be that he is on the AMP site  with a few downloads.  Also, read my response on Talk:Mark_Sanders.  I'm going to add a Delete vote (along with redirects per Jeffrey O. Gustafson) as vanity. --Vossanova 17:35, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Rebuttal
That's a logical fallacy, archives age, some go offline etc. etc. When the Bangles were popular, you couldn't walk into a music store and not get run over with some sort of advertisement for them. Now most people under 25 don't even know who they were. Yet they are notable.

Second falacy, presence on Nectarine is hardly notability. For example, Aahz is listed there only on a coop with Genosha (both who I knew) yet Aahz ran one of the first major internet shoutcast servers...ever (helping pioneer internet radio) Loud Factory was THE major global release point for sceners writing hard electronica, he participated in numerous parties etc. etc. etc. in other words probably one of the most notable trackers ever. However, somebody named "A3an" is listed solo and with twice as many releases. Yet I've never seen or heard of this person and I'd bet that you hadn't. If Nectarine qualifies as a "cannon" of trackers then doesn't AMP? In fact, probably the closest the scene has to cannon is hornet. Your logic is a bit skewed. I mean, good for Christophe (the founder btw) and all for making a dedicated scene radio station but he doesn't hold the keys to unlock the hidden mysteries of notability.

I mean come on! The editor of Staticline, Coplan, says "Once again, El Blanco has to be one of my favorite trackers." in SL#29 (c. 2000). If that's not an endorsement for notability I surely don't know what the fuck is.

Having attended numerous parties both big and small (traveled to 3 different countries across 11 time zones for that fyi) and personally know or have known (or at the very least met) most of the people on the "well known tracker" list and been a judge for quite a few compos I'd say that Sanders belongs easily on that list which is why I wrote his bio.

on a personal note
Vossanova, Since you doubt my scene pedigree and have decided to make this personal The Solid Energy Crew (later Lagoona) - ??? why is Lagoona on this list? Because they made a record? Hell I've released a record and Sanders may even have at some point. Doesn't make them notable trackers.
 * Kenny Chou - totally deserves to be on the list, met and knew via #trax
 * Heatbeat - no idea who this is
 * Lizardking - as big an influence on demo style music as is possible totally deserves to be on
 * Skaven - knew him via #trax, get an early copy of ST2 and ST3 from him good chap not as well known for his graphician skills
 * Acumen - no idea who this is
 * Jogeir Liljedahl - not particularly famous amongst those who started in the scene post Soundblaster but his amiga work spawned alot of the realistic style of music used in later tracks notable I suppose for that but does not qual according to WP:BIO
 * Bjorn Lynn (dr. awesome) - I think if anybody should be on the list it is him
 * moby - knew him actually knew 3 mobys at one point (DID borrow his name from elblanco btw as detailed in a #trax conversation c. 1998-99 it may be possible to find a log someplace)
 * Dune met (good music, as notable as Andy Sega? hardly)
 * Vesa Norilo (Warder) - got nothin on him
 * Elwood is famous for coming out of nowhere around 96 or 97 and released a bunch of songs, won some contests and then when everybody realized all his songs were basically the same disapeared (never met him),
 * Andrew Sega (Necros or The Alpha Conspiracy) - he has similar credentials to Bjorn. Met him, worked for a time with Kiwidog (founder of Sandes' first group Terraformer) at 3d realms in TX. A bit snobbish at times but...doesn't he deserve to be?
 * Matthew Simmonds (4-MAT) - old skool amiga work. He's kinda like Jogeir in the fact that he was well known in the Amiga scene but 99% of the PC sceners have no clue.
 * Jonne Valtonen (Purple Motion) - the real music behind FC.
 * Victor Vergara (Awesome) - know him currently. From Spain, really nice chap. Working on that new tracker whatever it's called. Goes by Awez00m or some such now.
 * Venetian Snares (is said to compose much of his work using trackers such as Octamed) - a recording artists who is "said" to work with trackers. Hardly a "notable tracker".
 * Siren I knew personally (even attended some parties with him) but not a major player in the scene by any stretch. I suppose he could be included on the list due to his work on Jazz Jackrabbit and Unreal (>5,000 published copies?)
 * Fabian del Priore (Rapture) - ???
 * Yakov Oskanov (Ivory) - ???
 * Anders Åkerheden - ??? I mean, he doesn't even have a proper handle. Not since Ryan Cramer and Renaissance could anybody get away with that nonsense
 * Hans Van Vliet (Hunz) - knew him. Another nice chap. Great vocals on his work borderline inclusion.
 * Zola - come on!!!! according to her disamb page "probably the most important female tracker in the former scene." #1 no idea who she is #2 Ms. Saigon, Saxy and Skie were the original famous female trackers.
 * Tad Rees (Solo) - ???
 * Jacob Kaufman (Virt) - no idea who virt is yet his claim to fame seems to be having 130+ releases on Nectarine? Even Sanders has more releases then that on his partial list!
 * Per Henrik Syverud (LittleElk) - seriously who the hell are these people? Did you edit this list Vossanova and then randomly pull names off of Nectarine?
 * Mike Castaneda (Terminal11) - got nothin on him but he seems new...perhaps that is his notable factor? newness?
 * Andy Yamane (WidgetPhreak) - composes using two gameboys....yes a notable tracker
 * Bogdan Raczynski - so notable that it is not even confirmed what tracker this supposed notable tracker uses. Again a recording artist with heresay as evidence of notability.

BTW there is a whole list of trackers better known than half this list who aren't on (Mellow-D, Aahz, Darkwolf, Darkhalo, etc. etc. etc.) this list. I was going to start work on their bios but since hours of research and a post on Sanders has netted this much bullshit I'm having second thoughts. It is obvious to me that you are not concerned with the quality and completeness of this part of wikipedia and instead are pushing your own agenda. I wouldn't be surprised to find out if the unknowns on the list were friends of yours since they are obviously not well known or notable trackers (hell there are spankingly few completed bios on the tracker page to indicate any sort of notability). I'd recommend you spend more time on that page then messing up decent wikipedia entries. Before you speak again about who participated in the scene and at what level, why don't you go check your own participation (btw. read your post on Talk:Mark_Sanders, you didn't even know who c.c.catch was nor what the MCs were, clearly a sign of somebody not in touch with any major part of the scene). Additionally, my music scene pedigree is not what is in question here nor is yours...so you can probably just step off. What is up is the suitability of inclusion of a noteworthy tracker who matches the characteristics of at least any of the completed bios on the tracker page as well as matches multiple requirements of WP:BIO.
