Brian Kendig
Final (35/3/1) ended 04:00 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Today I was looking through the microsoft history for references for a particular section, and I came across these beutiful NPOVing edits. That edit is from LAST YEAR btw, and the user has been here for over A YEAR AND HALF! User has over 2000 article space edits, 1000 distinct pages and has around 2715 total!!! Ryan Norton T 03:52, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

 * I accept! And I am extremely flattered by the attention. :) Thank you very much, and I'll do my best to do right by the trust you've placed in me. - Brian Kendig 14:10, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Support
 * 1) EXTREME NOMINATOR SUPPORT!!!! Ryan Norton T 03:52, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Enthusiastic support for a "worker bee" who goes about improving this project in his unassuming way, not to gather applause but to add significant substance. Please forgive the cliche... but I thought he...etc. I believe that Brian will be an exemplary addition to our dedicated admin staff. --hydnjo talk 05:29, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Support Brian and all the rest of the WikiGnomes. They could use some more recognition around here.   [ +t, +c, +m ] 09:50, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 13) Support - per my standards and above comments. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:30, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 14) Support good answers to questions, sounds like an excellent editor. DDerby (talk) 18:17, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 15) Support in slight sheep mode: good answers to questions, I don't know Brian but he seems a reasonable being, mop him. Alf melmac 22:07, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 16) Support. Awesome. Welcome aboard, Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 22:42, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 17) Support been here for a long time and wasn't involved in anything bad.  Grue  05:29, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 18) Support, will make a good admin. --Angr/undefined 06:04, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 19) Support hell, just pulling a decent NPOV edit of a flamebait target like Microsoft gets my vote.  ALKIVAR ™[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 07:20, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 20) El_C 23:41, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 21) Support. You mean he isn't an admin already? I'm surprised, actually. I'd have nominated him myself if I'd known. :-) – Seancdaug 03:32, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 22) Support, and damn the editcountitis.  Ral  315   WS  17:05, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 23) Support, looks like he'll make good use of admin powers. --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 17:17, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 24) Support. The purpose of Wikipedia is to create an encyclopedia, and only the main namespace directly serves that end. I agree that it is important for an administrator to demonstrate a wide spectrum of interaction, but with over 300 non-mainnamespace it is hard to see how others fear hasn't. We need administrators from all parts of the spectrum of positive interaction, not everyone has to be a wikipolitican editing primarily outside of the main namespace. --Gmaxwell 18:11, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 25) Weak Support. I say weak as I still don't know him well enough to full on support, but from (the very little of) what I've seen, he's great :D R  e  dwolf24  (talk) 22:42, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 26) Support. It's good to see candidates who aren't intentionally combative, such as those who gravitate toward policy discussions.  Unfocused 01:36, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 27) Cool. --JuntungWu 11:19, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 28) Support. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 23:00, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 29) Support Good editor - this imbalance stuff is silly--Rogerd 02:54, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 31) Support. He definetely deserves it! Shauri  [[Image:Heart.gif|12px]]  smile!  22:46, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 32) Support. Seems like a reasonable editor, and I don't see at all how edit count would be a problem. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 02:59, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 33) Support Quite positive interactions on Browser wars (quite some time ago). Clearly not a troll or vandal. -- Rick Block (talk) 05:04, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Oppose
 * 1) Oppose Has been here over a year and a half, and only has less than 3000 edits. Private Butcher 21:58, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Good lord, are you kidding me? Less than 3000 edits?  You're worried because he has LESS THAN 3000 EDITS?   Ral  315   WS  13:21, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Besides, that would be fewer. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 23:07, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose. PedanticallySpeaking 17:11, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * From the top: Please include a short explanation of your reasoning, particularly when opposing a nomination. Mike H (Talking is hot) 17:24, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) --Boothy443 | comhrá 07:23, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Neutral
 * 1) Neutral Oppose . Quite an imbalance between namespaces. (~90% in article NS). Will consider if the nominee explains why. De ryc  k C.  15:55, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't understand the question. I put most of my effort into maintaining articles, and I discuss them when discussion is useful; is there something you feel I should be doing differently? - Brian Kendig 20:17, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The user is talking about having more edits in the wikipedia namespace, such as on pages like WP:AN/I WP:AfD, etc.. If you ask me its quite superficial though (even though I have a healthy distribution myself :)). Ryan Norton T 20:20, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see now - thanks! I've started discussions in the WP namespace when I've needed to get involvement while following procedure on something, or when I've been unclear on policy (for example, when the Upload form had a required "I am the copyright holder" checkbox which would seem to preclude uploading fair-use stuff). In general, though, I prefer to leave the policymaking and debating to other folks. - Brian Kendig 22:30, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The imbalance is now less serious (~80% now) and I'm withdrawing my opposition. De ryc  k C.  17:19, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Just so's no one thinks I intentionally tried to do anything about this ratio - I'm not really sure how the percentage changed so much! Almost 40% of my slightly-more-than-100 edits over the past week have been in non-article namespaces, mainly Image and Template, just because those were what I found that needed attention; but my focus remains the articles. - Brian Kendig 00:34, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Comments

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)

 * A. There are two things with which admin privs would really help me. One is the quick-revert tool to undo vandalism - I've often wished I had access to this. The other is the ability to rename pages when there's already a page in the way; previously I've been having to seek out an admin to move things around whenever I find a situation where this is necessary. It would also be really nice to be able to fix typos on protected pages (I've sought help fixing occasional misspellings on the Main Page sections). As for other admin duties, such as protecting/unprotecting, deleting/undeleting, blocking/unblocking, etc. - I look forward to participating, to monitor the lists of situations where these are needed, and lend a hand to reduce the backlog and keep things running smoothly. - Brian Kendig 14:10, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

 * A. I am most proud of my bold edits to Windows XP, which (IMHO!) gave it a kick in the pants and led it to its eventual Featured Article status. I'm also really happy with areas where I've been able to take a family of related articles with duplicated or contradictory information, and move blocks between them to be more on-topic - an example is removing the long and detailed plot summaries from Star Wars and Star Trek and merging them into more specific articles about the movies and series. I also enjoy keeping on top of the Disney-related articles, fine-tuning them to remove speculation and add photos. - Brian Kendig 14:10, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

 * A. Just have a look at the history of Virtual Magic Kingdom for the most recent example of conflict and stress. ;) In short, a new user didn't know his way around Wikipedia, and continued to revert edits back to his own versions with admonishments like "Now leave it be!" I tried every route of communication I could find and followed procedure for conflict resolution, but for a while I thought it would be fruitless because he failed to see anything but the article itself; finally he figured out how to use the Talk page and we discussed things and came to an understanding, and since then he's become a great contributor to the page, and has even been helping out another new user. Other times I've encountered conflict have generally been because a user has a specific agenda (most commonly, wanting to promote a specific web site or suppress an unflattering but verifiable fact in an article); with communication and consensus these can be overcome. I don't take edits personally. When someone tries to use email to complain to me about some edit I've made, I insist on bringing the discussion to a Talk page instead, so as to invite other viewpoints. I refuse to get into personal fights with other users - it's not about me personally, it's about what's best for Wikipedia. - Brian Kendig 14:10, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Lind-shark.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Lind-shark.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:08, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Lind-shark.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Lind-shark.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 12:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Kilik.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Kilik.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:14, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Well done!
I noticed you caught the vandalism on the Horace Greeley High School page. Well done! If you're interested in catching vandals (a recurring problem on Wikipedia), there are a bunch of ways to help out. One thing which seems to help is adding warning messages to the ofender's talk page. Some templates which might be useful can be found at Vandalism. Also, if you notice spam (see WP:SPAM), you can warn the user by putting, , or for the first, second or third spamming offense. One thing it is often a good idea to check (if you have the time and interest) is a vandal/spammer's contributions. This can be done at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/ Name of Vandal or IPaddress.

Often they vandalize multiple pages. Feel free to contact me on my talk page if I can help with anything, or if you have any questions etc.. Thanks again! --Hansnesse 06:05, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Xplor International
A tag has been placed on Xplor International, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Xplor International and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Spiesr (talk) 20:19, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Xplor international
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Xplor international, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? The Evil Spartan (talk) 16:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

The demise of Latin
That's fine with me Bill - I'll change it in a minute if you have not already done so. What I meant was, no one now speaks Latin as a native language - native Latin speakers came to speak the Romance languages - you cannot study with any persons who currently learned Latin at their mother's knee. As for the demise, don't we all reach a demise? I am sure you cannot suppose Latin speakers living on into eternity speaking their language. I don't know how you must have interpreted demise. We all have one and so did they. I think you must be denying death there. Classics does not endow individuals with eternal life. However what you want to say is an acceptable periphrastic without us having to face the awful death in our encyclopedic reading as we sit in out comfortable studios under our warm and dry roofs while others go out and die for the privilege of us continuing to speak our language until we too actually die. When I die my English is going with me, I'm pretty sure. Cato had a demise too I am pretty sure. There is no reason however why I should not oblige you. I think your words are good and true. Thanks for suggesting the change. By the way I think the article is pretty good. I will be checking it mainly to make sure it does not imply wrong things, is up to date, has enough references so I can get the tag off, and does not repeat what was said under Latin. If possible I would like to see the Latin write-up in here but not at the expense of this article's integrity. Also I want to make sure this article is up-to-date vis-a-vis the current state of Wikipedia. Thanks again for your interest and for running your concepts by me.Dave (talk) 15:53, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Done, Bill. But, I only expanded a little on the concepts previously presented. Most philological concepts are not precise. Good luck with your website. Don't let the halloween goblins get you down. Ciao.Dave (talk) 22:19, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, Kudpung. I have been away from this page for too long...I will try to keep the children in line... ;-) William J. 'Bill' McCalpin (talk) 02:06, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Are you taking leadership on it? I have been trying to find someone in that position so I welcome it if so. I have a comment regarding the tense of the article; it seems to be written in present tense whereas I think it would be a better long term strategy to specify the time frame. If this is wrong for some reason I am anxious to learn. Thanks. Cor resident (talk) 08:59, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

The new lead paragraph seems a bit slanted to me. It speaks of Richardson only in terms of businesses and overlooks the basic fact that half the area of the city is residential, places where people live. This most fundamental need for human habitation as well as a place where individuals and families can be sovereign helps maintain balance and sanity in society. In my view the whole article focuses on economic features and worships the almighty dollar without consideration of societal matters. Cor resident (talk) 10:23, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Richardson Improvement Corporation
In researching the article on Richardson, Texas I have encountered some references to a non-profit corporation co-mingled with the City municipal corporation. It seems that Bill Keffler is the president of RIC and an Asst. City Manager is the V.P. This is an arrangement that opens all sorts of room for corruption and I have found other sources that allege actual malfeasance. I am trying to find more information and I wonder if you can shed any light on this subject. Thank you. Cor resident (talk) 16:18, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I want to thank you for your invitation, but I am concerned that my Romanian is "read-only" in the data processing point of view. In fact, I don't remember what I edited, although it doesn't surprise me that I did so, since I have edited certain articles in most Romance languages...after all, Romanian is just Latin with Slavic loan words instead of Germanic and Arabic loan words...heh heh, no doubt many philologists have just had heart attacks ;-)

Still, there are limits, as I am sure you can imagine.

I wish you success in your endeavors and will probably still make an edit or two in my oh-so-slow Romanian ;-)

File permission problem with File:Laura Gibbs Maczka, Mayor Pro Tem of Richardson, Texas.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Laura Gibbs Maczka, Mayor Pro Tem of Richardson, Texas.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 05:00, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Hechler.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hechler.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use or fairuse. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Pak21 10:57, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Candidate98917.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Candidate98917.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

Joe Checota
I've added the "prod" template to the article Joe Checota, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Joe Checota. If you remove the dated prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.  young  american (talk) 12:51, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Jbaker2k4! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Crystal Bernard.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Crystal Bernard.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Ella mae.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Ella mae.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 20:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

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 Lizabeth. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Lizabeth~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 01:10, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 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. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 15:32, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

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 Medivan. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Medivan~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 01:44, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 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.

Dufferin (Manitoba provincial electoral district)

Dufferin is a former provincial electoral division in Manitoba, Canada. It was originally created in 1879 as two divisions, Dufferin North and Dufferin South. Dufferin was consolidated into a single constituency for the 1888 provincial election, but was eliminated with the 1892 election.

Dufferin returned to the electoral map for the 1903 election, and was eliminated through redistribution in 1969.

The constituency was represented for many years by Rodmond Roblin, who served as Premier of Manitoba from 1900 to 1915. Roblin's grandson, who also served as premier, was named "Dufferin".

Abdallah al-Adil

Abu Muhammad ʿAbdallah 'al-ʿAdil' (عبد الله ʿAbd Allāh; d. October 4, 1227) was an Almohad Caliph, a former governor in al-Andalus who challenged and secured the murder of his predecessor, Abd al-Wahid I. His 1224 coup ushered in a period of instability that lasted well beyond his own death in 1227. He is often regarded as one of the most disastrous of Almohad caliphs. His coup divided the Almohads and set in motion the loss of al-Andalus and the eventual collapse of the Almohad state.

Background
Abu Muhammad Abdallah was a son of Almohad conqueror Yaqub al-Mansur and a brother of the famous caliph Muhammad al-Nasir. Along with his other brothers, Abdallah served as an Almohad governor in al-Andalus.

In January 1224, the young Caliph Yusuf II al-Mustansir and nephew of Abdallah, prematurely died without heirs. In response, the Marrakesh palace bureaucrats, led by the vizier Abu Sa'id Uthman ibn Jami'i and the regional Masmuda tribal sheikhs, engineered the election of his elderly grand-uncle as the new caliph Abd al-Wahid I, and presented this to the remaining Almohad family members as a fait accompli. Abdallah, then governing in Murcia, and his brothers, Abu al-'Ala Idris (governing in Córdoba), Abu Musa (in Málaga) and Abu al-Hassan (in Granada), who formed a powerful clique in Almohad hierarchy, were upset at the hastiness and the probable unconstitutionality of the Marrakesh proceedings. Moreover, Abd al-Wahid I, despite his age, had a distinguished record and centralising tendencies, and was less likely to give the brothers free rein in al-Andalus as the young and neglectful Yusuf II had done.

The Almohad dynasty had never had a disputed succession. Despite disagreements, they had always loyally lined up behind the elected caliph, so rebellion was no casual matter. But Abdallah was soon visited in Murcia by the shadowy figure of Abu Zayd ibn Yujjan, a former high bureaucrat in Marrakesh, whose fall had been engineered some years earlier by al-Jami'i, and was now serving a sentence of exile nearby in Chinchilla (Albacete). Ibn Yujjan persuaded Abdallah to contest the election, assuring him of his high connections in the Marrakesh palace and among the Masmuda sheikhs. In consultation with his brothers, Abdallah soon declared himself as the new Almohad caliph, taking up the caliphal title of "al-Adil" ("the Just" or "the Justicer") and immediately seized Seville, and began make preparations to march on Marrakesh and confront Abd al-Wahid I. In the meantime Ibn Yajjan worked on his Moroccan connections. Before the end of the summer, Abu Zakariya, the sheikh of the Hintata tribe, and Yusuf ibn Ali, governor of Tinmal, declared for al-Adil, seized the Marrakesh palace, deposed the caliph and expelled al-Jami'i and his coterie. The fallen caliph Abd al-Wahid I was murdered by strangulation in September 1224.

Aftermath
Abdallah al-Adil's murderous breach of dynastic precedence and constitutional propriety shocked the rest of the Almohads. But Abdallah and his brothers were dominant in al-Andalus, and had little trouble imposing themselves on the province, replacing those who refused to recognize the usurpation. In al-Andalus, everyone fell in line, with the notable exception of three of Abdallah's cousins, (the sons of Abu Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Abi Hafs, the powerful governor of Ifriqiya): Abu Zayd (governor of Valencia), Abd Allah (governor of Jaén) and Abu Dabbus. They were promptly deprived of their posts. The Jaén governor, Abd Allah (nicknamed "al-Bayyasi", the Baezan), took a small group of followers and set up camp in the hills of Baeza, calling for open rebellion against al-Adil.

In Morocco, Abdallah al-Adil's coup had barely succeeded. Many of the Masmuda tribal sheikhs, unwilling to see the balance in the Almohad coalition swinging into the hands of the Almohads of Spain, invoked their constitutional role, and refused to ratify al-Adil's usurpation, rallying instead around the figure of his nephew Yahya, the son of al-Nasir. With the coup in danger of being reversed, Abdallah al-Adil made the fateful decision to begin shipping the bulk of the Almohad forces in Spain across the straits to Morocco, intending to march on Marrakesh and imposing himself on the sheikhs.

Eager to depart, al-Adil undertook only a half-hearted effort to dislodge al-Bayyasi from the hills of Baeza in the winter of 1224–25. The campaign proved a humiliation – al-Bayyasi's little band of followers managed to fend off the much larger armies that al-Adil sent after them. Al-Adil quickly acquired a reputation for incompetence and poor military skills, which spread across the water to Morocco, emboldening the recusants and shaking the confidence of his allies. Determined to seize Marrakesh before it was too late, al-Adil decided to ignore al-Bayyasi and stepped up the transportation of troops. Al-Bayyasi, in the meantime, struck up an alliance with the hitherto quiet Ferdinand III of Castile. Bemused at the turn of events, and delighted at the evacuation of Almohad troops, Ferdinand sensed an opportunity and decided to lend al-Bayyasi a large Castilian army.

In 1225, al-Bayyasi's band, accompanied by the Castilian army, descended from the Baeza hills. With al-Andalus practically denuded of Almohad troops, they ravaged the lands of Jaén, the vega de Granada and by the end of the summer, al-Bayyasi had captured the city of Córdoba. Seeing the vacuum, Alfonso IX of Leon and Sancho II of Portugal also took the opportunity to launch their own raids. Caceres held up the Leonese, but the Portuguese raiders, facing no opposition, advanced rapidly and reached the outskirts of Seville in late 1225.

Heroes and cowards
Caliph Al-Adil, his minister Abu Zayd ibn Yajjan and leading Almohad commanders were at that moment in Seville, but they did not have the manpower to challenge the Christian army in the open. As a result, the Portuguese raiders ravaged the outlying areas with impunity. At length, the civilian population of Seville, disgusted at the inactivity of the Almohad rulers, decided to take matters into their own hands. A popular levy was raised in the city and marched out on their own to meet the Portuguese in the field. It was a massacre. The Portuguese men-at-arms mowed down the poorly armed townsfolk. Thousands – in one report as many as 20,000 – were slain before the walls of Seville.

Blame for the Seville massacre – and other disasters – was placed fully on the incompetence and cowardice of Caliph al-Adil and his Almohad lieutenants. But al-Adil's fortunes soon turned. Al-Bayyasi had promised three frontier fortresses to Ferdinand III in payment for his services. But one of the fortresses, Capilla, refused to allow itself to be passed over. The Castilians were forced to lay a long and difficult siege. The brave defiance of little Capilla, and al-Bayyasi's shipping of provisions to the Castilian besiegers, soon turned opinion against al-Bayyasi and back towards the Almohad Caliph. An uprising in Cordoba followed, al-Bayyasi was killed and his head dispatched to the Caliph in Marrakesh.

But Abdallah al-Adil did not relish this victory for long. On October 4, 1227, he was drowned in a palace bathtub, and his nephew and rival was elected as the new Almohad Caliph Yahya 'al-Mutasim'.

Municipal elections in Canada

Municipal elections in Canada fall within the jurisdiction of the various provinces and territories, who usually hold their municipal elections on the same date every two, three or four years, depending on the location.

Each province has its own nomenclature for municipalities and some have local elections for unincorporated areas which are not technically municipalities. These entities can be called cities, towns, villages, townships, hamlets, parishes and, simply, municipalities, county municipalities, regional county municipalities, municipal districts, regional districts, counties, regional municipalities, specialized municipalities, district municipalities or rural municipalities. Many of these may be used by Statistics Canada as the basis for census divisions or census subdivisions.

Municipal elections usually elect a mayor and city council and often also a school board. Some locations may also elect other bodies, such as Vancouver, which elects its own parks board. Some municipalities will also hold referenda or ballot initiatives at the same time, usually relating to spending projects or tax changes.

Elections for city councils are held through either a ward system or an at-large system, depending on the location. Vancouver is the largest city in Canada to use the at-large system, while most other large cities use wards.

Most councils are non-partisan and elect only independents. However, some municipalities have locally based political parties or election slates. These include Montreal, Quebec City and Longueuil in Quebec and Vancouver, Victoria, Surrey and Richmond in British Columbia. These local parties are rarely affiliated with any provincial or federal parties.

Voting may be done with paper ballots that are hand-counted, or by various forms of electronic voting.

Highbreed
Looks like original research. What is "Highbreed"--the word doesn't appear in the text of the article? Any chance of salvaging or merging? Paul Hope 04:09, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The title is the author User:Highbreed. -- RHaworth 02:52, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete all "Eng4 reseacrh paper"s Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 12:09, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a repository for research papers. Sliggy 12:56, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. This is simply a copy of User:MMORPG research. -- RHaworth 02:50, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Hey please don't delete my page. Here are the this needed to be done:
 * 1) Disambiguation
 * 2) Split and merge with computer game series MMORPG. It's more than 30kb long
 * 3) Move or redirect the definition of terms to wikiionary. Rename the article to MMORPG afters research completion.
 * I need help please I am just a new user in wikipedia. Those that complain about my page being bad you can help edit my page. -- Highbreed 10:00, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry Highbreed, but I'll have to vote delete. First of all, I don't think that a disambig for Highbreed is necessary..the word Highbreed refers to nothing except your username. Merging the bit about MMORPGs to MMORPG wouldn't also be a really good idea in my opinion, since your opinion doesn't really add new information to the article. I assume that most of the words which you want to move to Wiktionary already have articles, but we could add those entries. We can't however move that whole section to Wiktionary, since that would be violating the Guides of Style on Wiktionary. And don't forget to mark your posts using four tildes ~ ; it makes things less confusing for both of us :P -- SoothingR 11:04, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey I did not mean that I am gonna move the whole page to wikitionary. I mean just some of the definition of terms. That's why I said I am going to rename it because It isn't really supposedly to be highbreed. Okay I will reopened it by the name of MMORPG

hey this is me again. Just wanted to remind you people that you can help edit my page since I already gave my username and passwrod. Okay
 * Another comment: we don't need your password to edit a page -- SoothingR 05:39, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

I vote undelete because the information quite interesting although, the page sure needs a lot of work from the experts.

Keep Hey the page is worthy. It's just that it needs more restructuring and editing. Keep Cursed user talk zoe for starting the deletion page. Grrrrrr

If you don't need a password to edit the page then why not do it then. It's your choice. However marijuana is everywhere.

List of Grey's Anatomy episodes

Grey's Anatomy is an American medical drama television series that premiered on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) as a mid-season replacement on March 27, 2005. The series focuses on the fictional lives of surgical interns and residents as they evolve into seasoned doctors while trying to maintain personal lives. The show's premise originated with Shonda Rhimes, who serves as an executive producer, along with Betsy Beers, Mark Gordon, Krista Vernoff, Rob Corn, Mark Wilding, and Allan Heinberg. The series was created to be racially diverse, utilizing a color-blind casting technique. It is primarily filmed in Los Angeles. The show's title is a play on Gray's Anatomy, the classic human anatomy textbook.

Episodes have been broadcast on Thursday nights since Grey's third season. The first two seasons aired after Desperate Housewives in the Sunday 10:00 pm EST time-slot. All episodes are approximately forty-three minutes, excluding commercials, and are broadcast in both high-definition and standard. Episodes are also available for download at the iTunes Store in standard and high definition, and Amazon Video, with new episodes appearing the day after their live airings. ABC Video on demand also releases episodes of the show, typically one to two days after their premieres. Recent episodes are available on ABC's Android/iTunes app or at ABC's official Grey's Anatomy website, and Hulu.

In 2010, ABC signed a deal allowing Grey's Anatomy episodes to be streamed on Netflix, and in 2024, all episodes became available on Hulu. In April 2018, Grey's Anatomy became the longest-running drama ever for ABC, after the network renewed the series for a fifteenth season. On April 2, 2024, ABC renewed the show for a twenty-first season.

Grey's Anatomy was among the ten highest-rated shows in the United States from the show's first through fourth season. The show's episodes have won a number of awards, including a Golden Globe Award for Best Drama Series, a People's Choice Award for Favourite TV Drama, and multiple NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Drama Series. Since its premiere, Buena Vista Home Entertainment has distributed all seasons on DVD. There have been several special episodes recapping events from previous episodes, and two series of webisodes.
