Tzadik
Please see what I wrote in Tzadik, and if I only wrote from a chabad viewpoint please add in other viewpoints as well. Thanks. --Eliezer | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€  14:54, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Also please comment on the talk page of chabad regarding what I wrote there: ''I have created a new article that deals with the concept of a Tzadik, and merged the contents of the "Relationship between God, the Rebbe and his followers" section into it. Therefore if there is consensus I will be removing the section from here and replace it with a link to Tzadik.'' --Eliezer | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€  16:00, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Re: kashrut/Macht/Johns Hopkins/Lancet/Biblical Archeological Review
Dear Sir,

Johns Hopkins, Lancet (UK's premiere medical journal), and BAR are all mainstream science. I also see that one person restored what you deleted with no commentary with no comments in the talk page, thus I see no general reaction that the material should not be there. I also offered opposing arguments so it is not POV. I am returning the material to the article. I respect your right to disagree but I do not believe in arbitrary exclusion. I have no desire to get into a edit war. That is why I offered opposing arguments. Please be reasonable here.

Lastly, science is probabilistic and provisional. I would be happy if you found and offered material which falsified/controverted the Macht/JohnsHopkins, Lancet, and BAR material.

Re:Quintiliano H. de Mesquita
Dear Jfdwolff

Dr. Mesquita is notable by his many pionner contributions to the medical science as for example:

1) A new electrocardiographic classification of incomplete branch block with the discover of 2 new types of bundle branch block in 1948

2) 1º case of ventricular aneurism pos infarction operated by Charles Bailey in 1954 - Please see the letter by Charles Bailey at

3) 1º case of right ventricular infarction diagnosed in vivo inside new electrocardiographic patterns contradicting the ECG Cavity Theory and confirming the ECG Vectorial Theory of Myocardial Infarction, in 1958 - Please see the letter by Myron Prinzmetal at

4) The Myogenic Theory of Myocardial Infarction, in 1972 . In 1975 Dr. Mesquita received the Ernst Edens prize by the "Internationale Gesselschaft für Infarktbekaempfung"

5) The confirmation of the Prinzmetal’s Theory of Accelerated Conduction, 1999

Dr. Mesquita deceased 5 years ago. He is being supported by the Infarct Combat Project where I am the actual coordinator

Sincerely yours

Carlos Monteiro

 * He may be a very good scientist with interesting views, but the theory you are trying to insert is not accepted by the vast majority of the scientific community. There has to be a significant following to make Dr QH worth mentioning. JFW | T@lk  19:50, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

We all know, that there was a time when the vast majority of the "scientific" community thought that the sun goes round the earth. Only the number of protagonists is not helpfull for the decision what´s right or wrong. --RJ Petry 16:51, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

If you have a chance, would you mind reviewing the current dispute there, and giving your thoughts? Thx. Jayjg (talk) 18:55, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

re: kashrut material on hygiene/health
You wrote to me:

"Perhaps it helps if you're concise and limit yourself to 1-2 references. Wikipedia need not be the final word. JFW"

I welcome your suggestion, however, if it is shorter than two things will happen:

One, it will be called non-mainstream science (original research) because it does not have the support of Dr. Macht/Johns Hopkins publication, Lancet, and BAR.

Two, it will be called POV because it does not give both sides.

I believe I was concise it giving both sides of the germaine issues and used mainstream sources. For example, Dr. Macht's study was published in a Johns Hopkins publication and Dr. Macht has a excellent biography.

Lastly, I would appreciate it if further communication was done in the talk section of the kashrut talk page.

VfD: Acu-cell article, images
JF, the person(s) behind the article you VfD'd has uploaded a bunch of copyrighted images of the company (logos and such). Must each of these be individually copyvio-tagged and listed on the copyvio page? I'm rather hoping you will use you magic Admin sorcery skillzz and make them all go away at the touch of a single button. That is, when the VfD passes. Kind regards—Encephalon | ζ  22:14:06, 2005-08-16 (UTC)

 * Yes, please push that magic button and give everyone a rest!

BTW, I am deleting my own article - not anyone else's.  I disagree with the criteria (personal agenda by encephalon) used to approve or reject submissions. I have no interest in being associated with a biased user resource such as Wikipedia under these circumstances. Wikikraut

I really wonder why you are responding to Encephalon in this fashion. I reiterate my earlier warnings that the article is set to be deleted, but that blanking is not an acceptable way of undoing an edit. When you originally submitted it (three times under different titles) you released it under the GFDL. It is now part of Wikipedia and not yours to delete. JFW | T@lk  02:23, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * JF, forgive my responding to a third party on your page. Wikikraut, hello there. I'm sorry that you've felt it necessary to engage in personal attacks. I've made a brief response to your comments on the VfD page. I hope that page as well will not be needlessly cluttered up with fruitless arguments rather than votes. If you would like to respond to me, with either constructive comments or personal attacks, you are welcome to do so at my Talk page. I dislike the cluttering of my online colleagues' pages on my behalf. Kind regards—Encephalon | ζ  07:16:47, 2005-08-19 (UTC)

Jacob Neusner bibliography undeleted
This article has been restored. Both VFD debates on the article ended with a "keep" result, and therefore the deletion was obviously out of process. At any rate, please don't delete articles which you nominate for deletion. Sjakkalle (Check!)  09:05, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Of course, of course. But the VFD will come back. This page should never have been created, and unless someone with enough background edits it into shape, it has no merits. JFW | T@lk  17:24, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I'd suggest the correct think to do is look for a concensus of the deeper issue of what to do with pages-that-aren't-articles-but-are-useful - in this case perhaps enquiring at wikisource as to whether they'd take bibliographies. Repeatedly slapping VfD on until there aren't enough keeps around is nearly as bad as what real politicians do. --zippedmartin 22:54, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Frankly, the only reason it wasn't deleted is because I did not take the time to mobilise some others to vote delete. The page is not useful, it is atrocious. Wikisource would not be pleased. No other notable person has his whole biography on Wikipedia, and prof Neusner is not to be an exception. JFW | T@lk  00:30, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

I agree with you that the article was a strain on the eyes, and not very encyclopedic. Had I voted in that VFD debate it would definitely not have been an outright "keep". What you can do without a VFD debate, is to take some of the most notable pieces of work on that list and merge them into the main Jacob Neusner article, then convert the bibliography article to a redirect. Sjakkalle (Check!)  06:38, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

 * This is my point: I lack familiarity with Neusner's works to say with confidence which ones are notable and which ones are not. The original creator, RK, left Wikipedia a few months ago. I will post a request on the talk page for anyone to select the most notable examples of prof Neusner's work. JFW | T@lk  09:13, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

P.S. whoops, sorry about the double post. i got a wiki-error the first time and didn't think it went through. JoeSmack (talk) 17:01, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

Request
Hi Jfd. A couple of days ago, I decided to tackle rewriting balanitis xerotica obliterans, as the present article is simply too awful for words. Since it'll take a few days, I've made a start over at balanitis xerotica obliterans/temp, and am gathering references and beginning to flesh out the text. I'd appreciate any input you might have. - Jakew 20:37, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. Once I'm happy with the text, would you mind reviewing it to make sure that everything is medically sound? Also, if you know anyone who could donate a photograph, that would be fantastic (I've requested permission from http://dermis.multimedica.de/, but I'm not optimistic). - Jakew 09:33, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks again. Mostly there, now, but I'd like to add something about the features of the disease. Histological features are described here and here, but I would appreciate some help in translating these into lay English. - Jakew 12:37, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Help with Hebrew
Hi Dr Wolf: I received the following request. Could you help out please, I am pressed for time (I guess you are too...but stil...) Zai Gezunt! IZAK 10:02, 22 August 2005 (UTC) : "Izak, I created the page on the Na Nach Nachma mantra, complete with an explanation of how it is based on the letters of Nachman of Breslov's name. But I do not know how to do Hebrew letters in Wiki.  Judging from your talk page here, you do.  Could you add them to that section?  Toda rabbah!  User:rooster613"

Hi JfdWolff,

Allow me to present myself as the editor of a forthcoming volume in Hebrew on Jewish communities in north west Germany. (Pinkas Kehillot Germanya) In this context, I'm interested in the image of Samson Raphael Hirsch which I understand was uploaded by you in the pertinent Wiki article. Do you have any info regarding the original copyright holder? Do I need special permission for reprinting the picture (in a non-commercial Hebrew)book, seeing that Samson Raphael Hirsch died in 1888?

Many thanks,

Daniel Fraenkel Jerusalem

 * I must admit I found it on the internet, and surmise that the copyright is likely to have expired. Perhaps looking in the Klugman book (see the page's references) will lead you to the relevant information. Good luck & please let me know if there are any problems with the copyrights.

Categorization
I agree completely with your views on categorization. As these stubs were created, I didn't know any category but for medical, knowing full well that it would have to be sub-categorized. If I had known the second or third level category the article had belonged to I would have placed it there myself. Thank you for recategorizing these stubs. I am very grateful for your work. And, I hope to improve as I continue. --McDogm 05:35, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Hippocampus dispute
Jfdwolff: there's a dispute over on the hippocampus talk page that has been brewing. A user claims that the hippocampus page is non-NPOV because it only discusses the anatomical definition of "hippocampus" and doesn't include the Greek mythological entry. In response I've tried to explain that the anatomical term is much more widely used today (another user and I both offered up some numbers and examples to back this up). I also created a hippocampus (disambiguation) page that mentions his view, and placed the disambiguation link template at the top of the hippocampus page. As far as I understand wikipedia policy, this is the correct way to do this, and is done frequently (e.g., Bach). Am I wrong here? Can I get some advice? Semiconscious ( talk  ·  home) 23:15, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Generally i use my pharmacology textbooks (two or three) for pharmacokinetic informations but there aren't for all drugs. There is an italian site which has the tecnical informations that generally are inserted in the boxes with the drugs. I can try to use it.

Request for your aid dealing with actions from a user
Dear user JFW I have read your discussion with User:Baphomet. and so I request, if possible, your aid related to this subject:

User:Baphomet. is damaging Wikipedia: he his trying to label Religious articles as Superstition (from a POV view of positivism, that he calls Science). At the article Reincarnation he just went on to add to category "Superstition" and later on without discussion put a POV msg in the article. Please see the discussion page between both of us Talk:Reincarnation.

Through the use of a Culture created by extremism in Science, he is clearly trying to do the job that the Inquisition did in the Middle Ages in a Culture created by extremism in Religion. He is damaging Wikipedia in a subtle invious way!

Vibrational Medicine
Dear JFW, I have found the following book last year and thought it also might be of some interest to you Sir: It is called  Vibrational Medicine: The #1 Handbook of Subtle-Energy Therapies (ISBN 1879181584, Bear & Company: 3rd edition, March 15, 2001) written by Richard Gerber, a physician/internist with the Charwood Medical Group and medical degree from Wayne State University School of Medicine. For more info on Vibrational Medicine book: index, contents, comments, costumers reviews and also if of interest an interview with Dr. Richard Gerber: Interview - part one & Interview - part two. Thank you, --GalaazV 00:25, 13 September 2005 (UTC) Please, allow me to just present here a bit of the author's introduction to this new paradigm in Medicine:

''The current practice of medicine is based upon the Newtonian model of reality. This model is primarly a viewpoint which sees the world as an intricate mechanism. Doctors conceptualize the body as a type of grand machine which is controlled by the brain and peripheral nervous system: the ultimate biological computer. But are human beings really glorified machines? Or are they complex biological mechanisms which are in dynamic interplay with a series of interpenetrating vital energy fields... the so-called "ghost in the machine"? This book is an introduction to a new viewpoint of healing that encompasses an evolving picture of matter as an expression of energy. This new field of healing, based upon the Einsteinian paradigm, is called vibrational medicine.''

 * Despite Dr Gerber's qualifications, I doubt this would be supported by mainstream medicine. Energy-based healing was not invented by Gerber - it is the principle of acupuncture and many other modalities of CAM.

Thank you for your words, with which I also agree. Yet, as I see it - and as I had already the opportunity to explain in the "Alternative medicine" discussion page - the author doesn't create any new "Alternative medicine" branch, but tries to construct, through a more scientific explanation of existing principles related to the body and the universe (studied in esoteric systems and practiced in some degree in alternative medicine), a bridge between mainstream medical science and milenary (or older) alternative medicine practices, based on scientific models (for instance the "Einsteinian" E = mc2:), which he calls "Vibrational medicine". I would see his conceptions as an attempt to show to the academic conventional medicine deeper understanding about CAM, its wider potentiality in healing (not just curing) according to him and a few more authors and "healers", and to present methods capable of being applied in practice by medical communities. That is also the reason why I thought it would be Ok to introduce it into "CAM" and "Alternative medicine" sections related to discuss these matters; but not forcing it in any way (it is enough to had the opportunity to present it according to my own point of view in the discussion page and here). Another person who tried also to present work, new paradigm, based on similiar conceptions, but instead from the field of Physics, was Ms. Elsa M. Glover (Ph.D.), deceased 2003 in her main work "Science and Religion" --GalaazV

 * People who try to introduce new medical systems on the basis of theories of natural science are best qualified as "pseudoscientists". The present system of medicine, however Newtonian, does not recognise most principles of "vibrational medicine" (apart from the obvious uses of vibration such as lithotrypsy etc.) I may have been incorrect in classifying it as CAM/alternative. Vibrational disruptions also figure extensively in systems related to geopathic stress, generally considered pseudoscience by orthodox practicioners. 11:07, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Myocardial infarction and Angioplasty
For obvious reasons, I had a look at these (still rather tired during the day -> sleep -> insomnia). Saw you have heavily worked on these. I untangled risks of angioplasty on the MI page and added new sub-section on the angioplasty page. WP not place to frighten people off proceedures by listing all possible side effects, but some mention seemed appropriate. I perhaps have biased objectivity as to appropriate level of detail to go into, so your review (revert if required) appreciated.

Pseudoathetosis
Hi,

My comment about the overdiagnosis of athetosis is anecdotal, but is based on the anecdotes of at least three consultant neurologists working at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square, London.

I don't feel particularly strongly about its inclusion, but I feel the article is most likely to be read by medics, who would find it useful. I would rather see it removed than watered down into something that general physicians will not learn from.

Immune System
Hi Dr Jfdwolff, I was the one who overlengthen the introduction to this article. In going through its history page, I saw this edit summary: "09:20, 21 September 2005 Jfdwolff (that was too long and very much lay language; this is shorter and more to-the-point)".

I definitely agree with you that the introduction was too long, exceeding the recommendations of Wikipedia, but yet I did not know how to shorten it. You did a great job!

However, I do not agree with you on the other point: "very much lay language." Wikipedia, as I understand it, is a community portal for the lay people, and not a specialty platform for the medical profession. In that it is for the lay people, all articles in Wikipedia should be tailored to the level of the target audience, and be written in lay language. As a matter of fact, this article is so technical that I bypassed it so many times, after reading the first few sentences. The language is so unlike that of another medical-related article, entitled "Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder".

Dr Jfdwolf, I hope that you can agree with me on this, and I look forward to reading more "human" medical articles, LOL. (Yes, doctors are inhuman, they are superhuman, so to speak.) — PM Poon 23:52, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Ouabain
Hi Jfdwolff! May I direct a glance to the article Ouabain, please? I've seen your edits in the history and therefore know, that you've already spend some time in this. I'm a german cardiologist taking part in the german WP for about one month now (user name JHeuser). While keeping an eye on the german article on myocardial infarction, I came across "RJ Petry", who keeps on discussing his view of the use of Ouabain in MI. He is a "Heilpraktiker", if you happen to know this german term, and has "published" a book on this theme in 2003. I would like to let you know, that apart from him (who is not treating patients with MI), I definitely know NOBODY in Germany favouring this kind of therapy. Have a nice day!

 * Fastest response I ever got so far, THANKS!

In Germany there are 2000-3000 physicians who are using orally administered ouabain in the prophylaxis and therapy pf angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. There is a bundle of (in part double blind) clinical and pharmaco-dynamical studies (mostly in german language, not listed in pubmed) and many articles about this topic. JHeuser - like noone else - is not able to know everyone and everything. So his last sentence is only a documentation about his horizon regarding this special theme. I doubt if he had read my article which I have indicated on the german ouabain ( = strophanthin) side or my english version on this page. Altogether (including the topics for example "ouabain as a new hormone", "stimulation of the sodium pump", and "history of ouabain"), my book has 1380 references and has got a commendatory preface of Prof. Hans Schaefer (Heidelberg), who was "no nobody" in the international world of medicine. The quality of my work and the topic that he knew very good was crucial for his decision.

An interesting pharmacodynamical double blind crossover study published at pubmed is Belz et al. 1984, in which orally administered ouabain had approximately the same effects like nitroglycerin. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=6428911&query_hl=1 Another one with intravenous ouabain which had a positive influence on the time patients could perform a bicycle ergometry until anginal pain began (unfortunately without abstract in pubmed): Sharma B et al.:  Clinical, electrocardiographic, and haemodynamic effects of digitalis (ouabain) in angina pectoris. Br Heart J. 1972 34:631-7. --RJ Petry 17:22, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

 * How often do I need to tell you that published studies are not guaranteed a mention in Wikipedia? I'm starting to get tired of arguing with you. JFW | T@lk  23:46, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Please would you be so kind and indicate me when you have told me that published studies are not guaranteed a mention in Wikipedia ? I can´t remeber and think that I read this here for the first time ! Furthermore I don´t try to mention this studies above on the "ouabain" side, but only the true sentence, that there are 2000-3000 of physicians in Germany who are usinmg oral ouabain in angina pectoris and heart infarction. And with the background described in my aricle I think that this is worth to be mentioned. Why are you against the passing mention of the possibility to solve one of the important medical problems ? Did you read my english article ? Or are you too tired to read it ? *blink - without negative energy* Besides: Could we please communicate on the discussion side of "ouabain" ? --RJ Petry 19:25, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Order of St. Joan D'Arc Medallion

The Order of St. Joan D'Arc Medallion is the top volunteerism award given by the United States Armor Association of the United States Army.

In 1986 the United States Armor Association began an awards program to honor the very best of America's tankers and troopers. The Saint George Award program provides the mounted force with a way to recognize outstanding performers, their spouses (Order of St. Joan D'Arc) and Armor Force supporters (Noble Patron of Armor Award).

The Order of St. Joan D'Arc Medallion is conferred to honor people, generally spouses, who have voluntarily made contributions of great significance to the morale, welfare, and spirit of armor and cavalry units in the United States Army. The unit commander must compile and submit a nomination packet, which is performed without the knowledge of the potential recipient.

Talk:Silsden

Village vs Town
I have reverted the anonymous edit from village to town back to village. As far as I know Silsden does not have & never had a regular market or fair so is a village. If, on the other hand, someone can present a good case, for Silsden being a town, I'll change it properly. :-) MGSpiller 22:11, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Silsden is home to some 9,000 people and has an elected mayor - it should be classified as a town.

I suspect that Silsden has never been granted a Town Charter. Instead it seems to be a Civil parish, under recent legislation Parishes can declare themselves towns. The current consensus on Wikipedia is that Civil Parishes should be categorised as such whether or not they declare themselves as towns. There are villages bigger than 9,000 e.g. Kidlington and towns smaller e.g. Cleobury Mortimer. The clinching piece of evidence would be a town charter or a market charter on the one hand or a resolution by the Parish council on the other. Another key piece of evidence would be a regular market or fair. MGSpiller 19:21, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

"A Pictorial History of "Old Cobbydale" by renowned local historian Willaim Neil Cathey mentions half yearly Sheep and Cattle fairs on the Punch Bowl Hill, in the Spring and Autumn. Sheep and cattle pens filled Punch Bowl Hill, both sides of Kirgate and Bolton road. The fairs ended in 1914.

Family (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

"Family" is the second episode of the fourth season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the 76th episode overall. It was originally released on October 1, 1990, in broadcast syndication. It was written by Ronald D. Moore, from an idea by Michael Piller. It featured additional work taken from a spec script by Susanne Lambdin. "Family" was directed by Les Landau.

Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the Starfleet crew of the Federation starship Enterprise-D. In this episode, the Enterprise is docked at Earth following the events of "The Best of Both Worlds". Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) visits his brother's family in France, where he begins to come to terms with his treatment by the Borg. Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) views a holographic recording made by his deceased father, Jack (Doug Wert). Meanwhile, Lt. Worf's (Michael Dorn) adoptive parents Sergey (Theodore Bikel) and Helena Rozhenko (Georgia Brown) come on board the Enterprise to comfort him following his discommendation.

Initially, executive producer Rick Berman wanted a science-based subplot included, but Piller convinced him otherwise. The premise was hated by series creator Gene Roddenberry, but Moore's script went into production nonetheless. "Family" had an extended guest cast, some of whom returned later in the series. The episode received a Nielsen rating of 9.6 percent, the lowest of the season. However, it has been referred to by critics as one of the best episodes of the series. The guest cast was praised, as was the Picard-centric plot with Stewart's performance in the scene where he confesses his feelings about the Borg held up as a highlight.

Plot
The Enterprise-D is docked at Earth Station McKinley, undergoing repairs and refitting following its battle with the Borg. The episode follows the interactions of three members of the crew with their family members.

Lt. Worf's (Michael Dorn) adoptive human parents, Sergey (Theodore Bikel) and Helena Rozhenko (Georgia Brown) visit the Enterprise, having only just learned about his discommendation. Worf, though believing love and support is too human, at first is embarrassed by this, but in the end appreciates their concern.

Doctor Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) retrieves a chest, kept in storage on Earth, containing her late husband Jack's mementos, including a holographic recording he made for Wesley (Wil Wheaton) when their child was only 10 weeks old. Beverly, though worried that the two of them have only recently truly come to terms with Jack's death, eventually gives the recording to Wesley. Wesley runs the recording and is uplifted by the message.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), recovering from his Borg assimilation, visits his family's vineyard in La Barre, France, which is run by his elder brother Robert (Jeremy Kemp) along with his wife Marie (Samantha Eggar) and son René (David Birkin). Jean-Luc is considering a position on Earth with an underwater research project called Atlantis. Robert has always been jealous of his brother's success and is concerned that Jean-Luc's presence will drive René to also join Starfleet. The two have a bitter argument and end up wrestling each other in a mud puddle, eventually culminating in an emotional reunion, with Jean-Luc breaking down and crying, admitting his sense of powerlessness and guilt at the things he did while under the control of the Borg. Robert states that Jean-Luc will have to learn to live with what he did, regardless of where he goes. Jean-Luc decides to go back to the Enterprise. The two spend the night getting drunk as they resolve their differences. After Jean-Luc leaves, Robert decides to let René follow his dream to join Starfleet as René sits under a tree and looks up at the stars.

Writing
The writing team initially looked to extend the Borg-based "The Best of Both Worlds" into a trilogy, but executive producer Rick Berman turned down the idea. So Michael Piller sought to have a plot in which Picard could address the effects of Borg assimilation. This caused some problems with the producers, as they were accustomed to bottle episodes and expected the status quo to be returned to at the end of each installment. But Piller managed to convince both Berman and Gene Roddenberry. However, Berman had a caveat: the episode had to have a science-based plot on board the Enterprise. The writers attempted to include this request in several versions, suggesting plots such as a child stowaway and a crewmember suffering from a nightmare in which they see other members of the crew disappearing. Berman relented on his request after several weeks, although the latter idea was later used in "Remember Me".

Ronald D. Moore wrote the script, and pitched it directly to Roddenberry in a meeting along with Piller and Berman. Roddenberry said that he hated the episode idea, as he felt that the animosity shown by the Picard brothers would not exist at that point in the future. He said it was not Star Trek as it had no action or jeopardy. After the meeting was over, Moore asked Piller and Berman what he should do and was advised to ignore Roddenberry's comments and write the script. He never heard what happened with Roddenberry, but the script went through without any issues. Picard's family was later mentioned once again in the 1994 film Star Trek Generations. The original idea was for Robert to die following a heart attack, but instead the writers opted to kill off both Robert and René off-screen in a fire. Throughout the years of The Next Generation, dozens of Jack Crusher related spec scripts had been received. The scenes in "Family" were taken from one submitted by Susanne Lambdin. Piller found the scenes powerful, as the episode was produced shortly after the birth of his daughter.

Filming and guest casting
Although the episode was the second episode of the fourth season broadcast, it was the fourth episode produced. The scenes with the Picard family were shot on location at a private home in Encino, Los Angeles, and the vineyard was filmed at a dryland farming site in Lancaster, California, near Edwards Air Force Base. The two separate locations were merged on-screen digitally by visual effects supervisor Dan Curry using matte paintings. Director Les Landau said it was the best episode of the series he'd directed, and one of the best episodes in general.

Most unusually, "Family" did not have any scenes set on the bridge of the Enterprise. It is sometimes incorrectly stated that "Family" was the first episode in the franchise that did not use the relevant standing bridge set. In fact that distinction belongs to "All Our Yesterdays", the penultimate episode of the original series, which has no scenes set on the Enterprise at all: it is entirely planet-bound except for one exterior space shot at the very end. Furthermore, part of the bridge set is actually visible in "Family", through a briefly open doorway.

"Family" had a diverse guest cast, portraying the various family members of the crew. Bikel and Brown were both well known in Yiddish theatre circles, although there were concerns from the crew that they might seem comically Jewish on screen. But their fears were unfounded and the duo later returned in the fifth season episode "New Ground". Kemp and Eggar were known from a variety of television and stage performances. Birkin returned in the sixth season episode "Rascals" as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, when the character is changed into a pre-adolescent child by the transporter. The characters of Robert and René were later mentioned in the film Star Trek Generations, as they were killed off-screen in a fire. Doug Wert portrayed Jack Crusher, and later returned as the character in the fifth-season episode "Violations". The episode was also the only episode of The Next Generation in which Brent Spiner did not appear as Data.

Broadcast and awards
"Family" aired in broadcast syndication during the week commencing October 1, 1990. It received Nielsen ratings of 9.6, reflecting the percentage of all households watching the episode during its timeslot. It was the least watched episode of the season, and one of only two episodes, alongside "In Theory", to receive a rating of less than 10 percent.

Marvin V. Rush's work in "Family" was nominated for Outstanding Cinematography for a Series at the 43rd Primetime Emmy Awards.

Critical reception
Mark Jones and Lance Parkin, in their book Beyond the Final Frontier : An Unauthorised Review of Star Trek, described "Family" as "wonderful small-scale stuff" and praised the performances of Stewart and Kemp. They criticised the Wesley and Worf storylines, but only because they took screen time away from the Picard story. James Van Hise and Hal Schuster in The Complete Trek: The Next Generation also criticized the Wesley and Worf stories for the same reason, but called "Family" one of the best The Next Generation episodes as it "bravely deals with human issues rather than galactic conflict." The duo suggested that it might have been considered for awards if the writers had concentrated solely on the Picard plot.

In 2010, Zack Handlen gave "Family" a rating of A for The A.V. Club. He said it was "one of the best hours TNG has ever done" and that the Picard scenes were the highlights. He called the scene where Picard confesses his feelings about the Borg to Robert his favourite of "all Stewart's amazing acting moments on the show so far". He summed up "Family", saying "It's also a remarkable episode, thoughtful, a little sad, but in the end full of hope. The final shot shows Picard's nephew dreaming under the stars. Like much of this episode, it could've been corny. And like all of this episode, it isn't." "Family" was included in a top ten list of the non-typical best episodes of the series by Carol Pinchefsky for Forbes; she called the scene where Picard admits his feelings towards the Borg the highlight of the episode.

Keith DeCandido reviewed the episode for Tor.com, rating it ten out of ten. He suggested the episode may have had "the most impressive collection of guest stars of any episode of Star Trek", lending further praise to Wert, Birkin and Dennis Creaghan as Louis. But he added that Kemp, Eggar, Bikel and Brown were "near perfect casting". He said that "Family" was "an absolute high point of TNG and one of the best episodes they ever did", as it made the characters appear as "people". He said that the writing "cemented [Ronald D. Moore's] place as one of the top writers of the franchise", and described the acting as "simply phenomenal".

In 2014, the episode was ranked as the 73rd best out of the 700 plus episodes in the Star Trek franchise by Charlie Jane Anders for io9. She described it as "revolutionary" due to it showing the outcome of a "big 'event' episode". James Hunt, in his review for Den of Geek in 2015, said that it was an "off-template" episode which was likely to cause a strong reaction from viewers. He said that he had enjoyed it, as it took time to address the trauma of the previous two episodes whereas episodes such as "Hard Time" in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine saw characters getting over such incidents in a matter of minutes of screen time. Because the plot of "Family" followed on from the events of "The Best of Both Worlds", Hunt considered it to be the third part in the arc. Aaron Couch, when writing about the Borg story arc for The Hollywood Reporter, described "Family" as "an understated but highly acclaimed episode".

In 2015, The Hollywood Reporter, noted this episode's scenes with Picard and his brother, as one of the top ten "most stunning" moments of Star Trek: The Next Generation. A year, The Hollywood Reporter rated "Family" the 10th best television episode of all Star Trek franchise television shows prior to Star Trek: Discovery including live-action and animated series but not counting the movies. In 2016, U.K magazine Radio Times said that Picard's tearful breakdown as the 10th greatest scene in all Star Trek film and television. They commend the writer's for taking a bold risk, by having the television lead actually cry which they felt made the character more credible. In the same year, IGN ranked "Family" the 11th best episode of all Star Trek series. In 2018, Tom's Guide rated "Family" one of the 15 best episodes featuring Captain Picard. In 2019, The Hollywood Reporter listed this among the twenty five best episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The year after, SciFiPulse.net ranked this episode one of the top seven about the character Captain Picard.

In the run-up to Star Trek: Picard, IGN, Space.com, Games Radar, and Vulture all ranked Family as one of the episodes to watch before ''Star Trek: Picard.  Games Radar'' noted that this Picard-character heavy episode was one that helped to "define the character."

Home media release
"Family" was first released on VHS cassette in the United States and Canada on February 6, 1996. On February 27, 1996 "Brothers" & "Family" were released on LaserDisc in the United States.

The episode was later released in the United States on September 3, 2002, as part of the Star Trek: The Next Generation season four DVD box set. The first Blu-ray release was in the United Kingdom on July 29, 2013, followed by the United States on July 30.

Here's the old text of this article: Calabar Bean is the seed of an African bean, employed in medicine, yielding Physostigmine. The calabar bean is a source of physostigmine, which relieves the symptoms of glaucoma. It is also being studied for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

The Calabar is also known as the Ordeal Bean. In traditional Nigerean trials, especially involving witchcraft, an accused would be forced to eat the bean - which is poisonous. If the accused survived they would be considered not guilty. If they died they were considered guilty and the death served as punishment.

One theory was that an innocent person would eat the beans much faster, believing they would survive the ordeal. Rapid ingestion of the beans produces an emetic effect. A rightly accused person would be fearful of eating the beans and would do so more slowly, allowing the toxic effects to build up and thus death.

Another fairly widely believed theory is that a guilty person would be more nervous and their stomach would thus excrete more acid. This would trigger more release of the poison, and this would be rapidly poisonous, rather than allowing vomitting.

Franco
I strongly suggest that the passage on Franco be removed or reworded. By the time of October 1936 the Spanish Civil War was still raging, and the Republic was still in control over major parts of the country and was the internationally recognized government. The fact that the Nationalists appointed Franco as head of state might have had symbolic importance to them, but it didn't actually mean that he became the head of state of Spain. The fact that thereäs a wikilink to Spanish State doesn't help much, it is still misleading to a casual visitor to the main page. --Soman 22:13, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I've rewritten the line. Is it any better ? -- PFHLai 23:01, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, much better. But it might still need a short mention, like "Francisco Franco was declared Generalísimo and head of state by the Nationalists during the Spanish Civil War". I know that would be a bit long though. --Soman 23:04, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It would be nice if there is a page about the various Nationalist factions during the civil war that the word 'Nationalists' can link to. Linking to just Falange would be misleading, I suppose. Would link to Nationalism be good enough ? -- PFHLai 23:29, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Magnate
The link to "magnate" under Stanford University isn't proper. It should link to business magnate. BorgHunter (talk) 22:46, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Edit request on 30 September 2013
Would it be possible to remove the Filipino American History Month from the anniversary page? It does not refer to a specific date and, in the current format, makes the whole thing crowded as far as how it would appear on the main page.

Sdverv (talk) 22:18, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * It's pretty crowded, yes, but there's no imbalance between the columns in terms of whitespace on the Main Page right now, so I don't think it needs to be removed. This may change if DYK gets too short. — howcheng  {chat} 07:02, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Proclamation of the People's Republic of China and the 70th anniversary of the People's Republic of China
Could any admin replace the " " with " " for preciseness? And is it eligible to add in the 70th anniversary of the People's Republic of China article? —Wei4Green | 唯绿远大 (talk) 19:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
 * ❌. The Proclamation of the People's Republic of China is ineligible to be used as a target link on the main page because it has too many quality issues, all noted in the large orange tags throughout the article.  For your second request, the  70th anniversary of the People's Republic of China is a current event, and should be submitted for consideration at WP:ITNC.  I hope that all makes sense.  -- Jayron 32 17:40, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Defenders Day (Ukraine)
Should Defenders Day (Ukraine) not be added to the too list of this template since it is a public holiday in Ukraine. Ot used to be included in Selected_anniversaries/October_14. The thing is is that the holidays used to be on October 14. But last year it was moved to its current date. This is because to Ukrainian churches now using the Gregorian calendar (the "western calendar") while they previously used the Julian calendar as it was and is still used by the Russian orthodox church. This move of calendar was a response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and the derusification of Ukraine since 2022. —  Yulia Romero  • Talk to me!  13:57, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

1937 Grand Prix season

The 1937 Grand Prix season was the fifth AIACR European Championship season. The championship was won by Rudolf Caracciola, driving for the Mercedes-Benz team. Caracciola won three of the five events that counted towards the championship.

This season saw the most powerful Grand Prix cars so far, Mercedes-Benz supercharged 5.6L inline-8 engines boasting nearly 650 bhp. Considering that an average saloon car produced around 25 bhp at the time, the performance of these single-seaters was extremely high compared with any other season in modern motorsport; so much so that for the first time ever, regulations were put in force for the following year to limit the engines' size capacity to reduce their power and to add weight to the cars to make them slower. Mercedes-Benz's development of their technology was thanks almost entirely to the state-subsidies that they were receiving from the Nazi German government at the time. The amount of power the supercharged Mercedes-Benz W125's had was not equaled in racing cars until American Can-Am cars in the late 1960s, and European Grand Prix cars did not have this kind of power again until the early 1980s (a span of nearly 45 years), when Grand Prix racing had long since become Formula One.
