I think this article is a hoax
I have never heard of a carribou. What the hell are they, like fake penguines or something. Stupid eviro-eliteists making up fake birds...

Muskrats
In the history section it mentions that muskrats were given the right to select land....what in the hell do muskrats have to do with anything? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.176.184.118 (talk) 01:12, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Two things

 * During a floor session of the Alaska Legislature today, one of the members (I forget which one, but perhaps Anna Fairclough?) read an item that a vote was held today in Congress allowing limited drilling. I haven't looked this up in the news.  Is it relevant to the article?

 * How is File:Alaskaoildrilling.jpg necessarily relevant to the article? 30 miles from Nuiqsut isn't exactly anywhere near ANWR.  Headed in the direction of ANWR, that doesn't even get you to Prudhoe Bay.  If the location of this photo is actually in NPR-A, that just exacerbates the differences in perceptions between NPR-A and ANWR versus the reality.RadioKAOS (talk) 03:50, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Units
The readability of the article as a whole would be improved by standardization of units. My suggestion is: As far as citations are concerned, I trust editors to do the math properly. Use of standard measures will eliminate NPOV problems with hyperbole. Rhadow (talk) 16:39, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Land area: square miles (km2) acres (ha) ... To address the argument for acres (ha), see below)
 * Oil volume: bbl (m3). Standardize on billions, even if a few citations of millions will look small)
 * Flow: million barrels per day (106 m3/d)

 * The units stuff is still kind of hard on the reader. Stuff like

the opening of ANWR reaches 780,000 barrels per day (124,000 m3/d) in 2027 and then declines to 710,000 barrels per day (113,000 m3/d) in 2030. In the low and high ANWR oil resource cases, additional oil production resulting from the opening of ANWR peaks in 2028 at 510,000 and 1.45 million barrels per day (231,000 m3/d), respectively.
 * is starts to look like wallpaper. We probably want a lot of these figures expressed in much rounder numbers in the prose, while accompanying the text with tables giving the precise values. Some units are hopeless, like Barrel (unit)s. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:52, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

Pietradefusi

Pietradefusi ('A Preta) is a comune in the province of Avellino, Campania, Italy.

History
According to some scholars, Pietradefusi lies on the site of the ancient Fusolae, a town cited by Livy as an ally of Hannibal during the Punic Wars, and which was later destroyed by the Romans.

The origins of the town are medieval (cited first from 1298) and it was fiefdom of many noble families such as the De Souzi, the De Tocco and the Acquaviva, but was also governed a long time by the Santa Casa dell'Annunziata of Naples. The Jesuits remember the town because one of their generals, Claudio of Aragona, was born here in the times of Francesco Borgia.

Cardinal Niccolò Coscia was born here, as was the father of Mario Puzo.

Main sights and cultural events

 * The Medieval Tower, located in the highest point of the town, was built in 1431 by Giacomo de Tocco. Around the Tower around the first dwellings rose.
 * The church of Collegiata (1700). The facade is from 1596. Ruined during the French occupation in 1799, it was rebuilt in 1827.
 * The church of St. Paulus (1800) situated in the center of Dentecane.

According to the tradition, the church of S. Apollinare and S. Spirito (no more existing) housed frescoes by Giotto.

Pietradefusi hosts is a Cinema Festival in September.

Talk:Circumscription

Untitled
To do:

 * 1) circumscription corresponds to ECWA
 * 2) prioritized circumscription
 * 3) mention that minimiality can be generalized, leading to preferential entailment;
 * 4) complexity issues;
 * 5) relationship with other logics, in particular default logic;
 * 6) cardinality circumscription.

The historical part of the article should be made more precise. In particular, McCarthy started with domain circumscription, then introduced predicate circumscription where all other predicates are fixed, and then turned to formula circumscription with varying predicates. Moreover, he initially started with axiom schemas and then turned to second-order formulae. The version of circumscription using < is actually due to Lifschitz, who also formalized the situation in which there are both fixed and varying predicates (the latter was also done by McCarthy in the same year).

Talk:The Black Tulip

Untitled
where is black tulip comes from ?

 * Its fictional, since there can never be a full black Tulip,only a white or some other color,but no one ever made a black Tulip(except the guy from this book off course) Dzoni 04:48, 16 April 2006 (UTC)....

 * -True, there is no such thing as a real Black Tulip, (excluding this book, tulip lore, and Animal Crossing WW), but there are varieties of tulips which approach black, being a very deep and dark red color. Often to create the illusion of true blackness in pictures they are photographed from below against a blue sky, or photographed at dawn and dusk. It's probably because the pigments in the petals of the flower are missing certain colors. When it comes to pigments, black is a pigment which absorbs almost all spectra of visible light. In the case of the near-black tulip, it is still reflecting some frequencies of red. Usually a blue or green pigment will absorb red. However, among tulips (as well as in other flowers, such as the rose, i.e. the fabled blue rose) blue and green pigments are simply not present (at least in any noticeable degree), so even with extensive natural breeding, you cannot achieve a true black. In any case, the Black Tulip came to represent the pinnacle of perfection and beauty, a holy grail of tulip breeding during the period of tulipomania in Europe, and this book shows the ugliness and corruption that comes from the pursuit of perfection and beauty. 71.133.22.56 10:22, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

This article needs to be expanded upon, but it's written poorly and subjectively as well. Waldszenen 30 July 2006

Drakensteyn Castle

Drakensteyn Castle (Dutch: Drakensteyn, sometimes Drakesteijn or Drakestein) is a small castle at 8 Slotlaan in the hamlet of Lage Vuursche, in the municipality of Baarn, Netherlands. It is the private residence of Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, the country's former Queen.

The royal connection aside, its most distinctive feature is its octagonal shape. It is surrounded by a moat that can be crossed via a bridge. Its style can be described as Classicist.

History
A house called Drakesteijn at this location was first mentioned in 1360, but the current building was constructed in the years 1640–1643 for a Gerard van Reede Läm. In 1634 Drakensteyn was passed to Ernst van Reede. In the 17th and 18th centuries the castle changed hands several times. The mayor of Utrecht, Paulus Wilhelmus Bosch became the owner of Drakensteyn Castle from 1807 and he and his family owned the house for 150 years until Frederik Lodewijk Bosch van Drakestein sold it to Princess Beatrix. Nearby, at 4 Kloosterlaan, is the similarly-named Klein Drakesteijn ("Little Drakesteijn"), which was built in 1780.

Royal residence
Princess Beatrix bought the castle in 1959, when she was the heir to the Dutch throne, and took up residence in 1963 after a programme of renovations. After her marriage in 1966 she continued to live there with her husband, Prince Claus and raised their three sons there. After Beatrix succeeded her mother Juliana as Queen of the Netherlands in 1980, the family moved to The Hague in 1981.

On 28 January 2013, it was announced that Beatrix would again take up residence at the castle after her abdication later that year. Her son, Willem-Alexander, was installed on the Dutch throne on 30 April 2013. On 2 February 2014, Beatrix moved into the castle.

Talk:List of Wario video games

"Appearances"
I assume we will not make List of Koopa Troopa apperances, right? Games such as Mario Party should not be considered Mario, Wario or Waluigi games. - A Link to the Past (talk) 14:23, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Why no list of Koopa Troopa appearances? *shrug* Judgement call. Wario is a main character, Koopa Troopa is not. If you'd prefer, I'll make it explicit in the intro that this is every appearance of Wario instead of only games in which he stars, but I don't see any good reason to delete the cameos just because they're cameos. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 02:34, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm also extremely uncomfortable with the criteria you used to determine what is a "Wario game" and what is not; Wario is in the title of Wario Woods and Mario and Wario, but you felt the need to remove those. Let's stick with the complete list of Wario appearances, especially since there's no POV judgement call on what is a "Wario game" and what is not. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 03:05, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * A game which features Wario as playable is not necessarily a Wario game, and a game that merely has him in the title does not make him the star or even make the game partly a Wario game. The only reason no one considers SMB not a Bowser game is because he is not in the title. If Wario's Woods were called, let's say, Toad's Adventures Through Wario's Woods, it would clearly not be a Wario game, or if it were just Toad's Adventure'', there would be no dispute over if it were a Wario game. A Wario game is a game where Wario stars in to the point that the game centers around him (if there is a second playable character, it is still a Wario game, just like people call SMB a Mario game despite Luigi). This SHOULD be List of Wario games, like all other List of (blank) games are setup. - A Link to the Past (talk) 07:32, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't see why any of this is a reason to delete a clearly marked list of cameos from a list that supplements Wario. If you want to quibble about whether this or that game should be called a "Wario game," fine, but I don't see why this list should be a subjective one instead of an objective one.
 * In any case, pease stop reverting. You've been bold, there's an objection, and now is the time to stop and talk. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 19:44, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It does not matter. If you were to take every list and count even the most miniscule of an appearance, every list would be huge. This article should be a list of Wario games, nothing more. Besides, the Cameo appearances is already listed at Wario. - A Link to the Past (talk) 00:10, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * This is not every list. This is this list, and size is not a limit on its completeness.
 * You've advanced a mildly POV standard for what a "Wario game" is, and I can't see any reason that it's better than "a game in which Wario appears." Even if this list needed to be shortened, a simple, no-judgement-call standard would be "a game in which Wario is the antagonist or protagonist."
 * In the event that this list grew too long, it'd be easy to separate the cameos/Marioverse appearances from the starring appearances as a villain or hero, should this list grow too long, but there's no compelling reason to do so in this case. In fact, I don't see any reason a complete list of Mario appearances would be too long, if properly formatted; Wario is unlikely to ever overcome Mario in this respect. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 00:20, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I do not see why a Wario game should be considered a game that features Wario. A Wario game is a game that Wario stars in. Nothing more. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:33, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Also, explain why Mario Party is a Wario game. If it's a Wario game, then it's also a Dry Bones game, Koopa Troopa game, Lakitu game, Toad game, Goomba game, Mario game, Princess Peach game, Luigi game, Bowser game, Birdo game, Boo game, Whomp game, Thwomp game, Koopa Kid game, Donkey Kong game, Shy Guy game, Waluigi game, Princess Daisy game, Yoshi game, Toadsworth game, Toadette game, Chomp game, Ukkiki game, etc. I do not think anyone considers those appliable to Mario Party.
 * It is inappropriate to continue to revert a page after objections have been raised, and blanking/deletion after objections has been raised is bordering on vandalism. I realize you disagree with me about what should be included, but revert warring is not the way to go about it.
 * You are proposing a change to the status quo. You want to change the criteria of this list to "Games which star Wario," and the only reason you've offered is that other lists have similar criteria. Please provide a non-subjective definition of "starring," as well as a reason to change the criteria. You haven't even yet linked another list to compare this to, only a vague reference to "every other list."
 * "Wario game" is not a category or series. It's just a group of games with a shared attribute. This list was originally created as a list of all Wario appearances, with the starring appearances as a sublist. You're proposing a change of criteria based on the title, when the title was chosen simply because it was less awkward than "List of games in which Wario has appeared."
 * Asserting narrower criteria does no service to the reader; if a reader wants to see Wario's starring appearances, they are already in this list; if the reader is interested in Wario's appearances as an antagonist or Marioverse/cameo appearances, they are also listed. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 01:53, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * There IS a certain criteria - these are NOT Wario games. A Wario game would entail that Wario actually star in it. Mario Party doesn't even require a MENTION of him. If you want, you can go through the entire game and the only times you'd see any mention of him would be on the character select scene and in the credits. Mario Party and Kart have no starring characters in them. - A Link to the Past (talk) 02:56, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

con't

Those aren't the criteria the list was written with. Your very narrow definition of "Wario game" does no service to the reader, again; in the event that the reader wants only a list of games starring Wario, that was already available in the longer list. Should the reader have a broader definition or a desire to see games in which Wario is the villain or makes a cameo appearance, the longer list also serves that reader.

I ask again, what service does a shorter list give to the reader? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 12:36, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Weighing in, I don't see why the list cannot be as expansive as A Man In Black wishes it to be. The opening already allows that Wario isn't going to nessecarily be the main focus of the game, and could even be edited from "Wario has appeared in dozens of Nintendo-published games..." to "Wario has appeared (however briefly) in dozens of Nintendo-published games...". Everyone liked different characters in game universes, and its a disservice to the reader that has a Wario-fetish to prune the list down because of some arbitrary line of demarcation. I say this as a Wikiexclusionist even. --Syrthiss 12:56, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Another third-party observer here. I think A Man In Black is right to argue that imposing the criterion that Wario has to "star" in the game for it to make this list is subjective and POV. What one user considers "starring" another may not. The list should be inclusive. Furthermore, this will allow the "Cameo appearances" section to be removed from the Wario article, an improvement, in my opinion. BrianSmithson 15:58, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Wario is a sort of product, a Nintendo IP. As such I think that the List of Wario games shouldn't be fan service (wario-fetish, eek) that categorizes his involevement, but rather an account of Nintendo's use of him as a proprietary character in any game. --Anetode 19:45, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Perv. I didn't mean wario-fetish in that way...tho I suspect I could come up with some Koopa pr0n if needed. :) --Syrthiss 19:59, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Would anyone disagree that reverting to the complete version of this list would be inappropriate at this point? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 20:08, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * By all means, have bishounen post here, then. I wanted to make sure consensus was established before making any further reverts. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 21:08, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Also, Template:Wario series is considered to be a template for Wario games, so what is considered a Wario game here should be considered a Wario game there, and doing so would make the template unruly. - A Link to the Past (talk) 21:21, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Then don't do it, the template could simply concern the series of games based on the character. Just because a game contains Wario does not mean it needs a template when a link to the character's page would suffice. Of course the layout and text size of the template could also be altered to accomodate every game Wario has ever appeared in while not making it seem unruly, but this would dilute the practicality of such a device.  The same cannot be said of List of Wario games, however, as it is an extension (or at least corollary) of the main Wario page. --Anetode 01:46, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Use the main games only. Having a template with every game in which Wario is in (cameo or whatever) is not proper use of a template anyway. That's what a category is for. I agree with A Man In Black here. This list should be inclusive. K1Bond007 22:02, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Wario Blast
I already mentioned this game months ago in the spin-offs. It is still there. Please check the entire game list before adding a title you believe is appropriate. --74.194.118.203 (talk) 06:08, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Article name
Shouldn't this article be named simply "List of Wario games"? Kariteh (talk) 20:33, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I suppose it should, yeah. - A Link to the Past (talk) 18:03, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if that's "the Wikipedia thing". I tried moving Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 video game) to "Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 game)". 71.182.145.40 (talk) 19:09, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Merge with Wario (series)
We should move the content of this article to Wario (series) because the two articles reflect the same topic and are redundant to each other. The article about the series should include the games involved, and once it does, this article will not be necessary. ArtistScientist (talk) 07:05, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * There is a precedent for this in Super Mario (series) and the way the games are listed in that article. And for a full list of games in which Wario appears, we could also have a comprehensive list article like List of Mario video games, calling it List of video games featuring Wario. ArtistScientist (talk) 10:29, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The Super Mario series should NOT be used as a precedent. It was an awkward situation where 3 lists had to be merged into one, and then you came saying that Super Mario needed its own series page from Mario(which I still don't think it does). If you want to expand Wario (series) and make it a better article, that is good, but this article is a good example of a Featured List, as well as these wonderful Featured Lists(1,2,3,4). There was no reason for List of Mario media to be redirected to Mario (franchise). The two article serve different purposes and should both exist. I looked, and saw that you were the one to redirect it, pointing to the Super Mario talk page, where I found very little discussion done on it.
 * List of Mario media needs to exist in the template format like other "List of ___ [video games]/[media]" articles. It serves as a directory and easy access to basic information like platform and release date.
 * Mario (franchise) needs to be mainly prose, and in detail, explain the franchise, not hold sections with links to series inside the franchise. If done right, this can be a Featured article.
 * If you do not agree, I will bring this to WT:VG and get a consensus on it.
 * To summarize my suggestion, I want List of Mario video games to be expanded with the template style of other video game lists. I also want Mario (franchise) to be expanded(really, rewritten) to actually serve its purpose of a franchise article. Thanks, Blake (Talk·Edits) 15:01, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * List of Mario video games was expressely made in a sortable table format rather than the "usual" list format to preserve the "by year, by genre, by console" functionalities of the original merge partners. These suggestion should be discussed on the relevant talk pages anyways.   Salvidrim!   15:10, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Wonder Momo

Wonder Momo (ワンダーモモ) is a 1987 beat 'em up arcade game that was developed and published by Namco exclusively in Japan. It was ported to the PC-Engine in 1989, with both versions of the game later ported to the Wii Virtual Console, and ported to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 as part of Arcade Archives. The game was also included in Namco Museum Encore for the PlayStation. Wonder Momo inspired a webcomic series in 2012, an anime miniseries in 2014, and a sequel game by WayForward Technologies in May 2014.

Gameplay
Wonder Momo is a loose parody of a typical Ultraman-style superhero series, and utilizing a then-rare female protagonist. When the game is first started, players are treated to a parody of the MGM logo featuring Momo instead of a lion and a "Modoki" instead of a mask. The game then cuts to a scene of a theater stage, where a play begins starring Momo, a young woman who gets super-powers. At this point the game puts the player in command of Momo. Rather than playing a hero who needs to save the world, the setting is that of a live stage show (set at the "Namco Theater"), and the player is actually controlling an actress who is merely playing the role of Momo/Wonder Momo. The game also features voice samples in Japanese.

As Momo, she can only attack using kicks, and in doing so builds up her "Wonder" meter. When she touches a tornado icon, or spins around by herself, she can turn into Wonder Momo and can also attack using the Wonder Hoop, which can be reused as long as she is Wonder Momo. After the Wonder Hoop is thrown, she will not be able to throw anymore, while she will have to wait for it to bounce back to her. She can also shoot small waves of energy in whichever direction she faces (while she is crouching), which is based on the similar move by the Ultraman characters. Her most powerful attack is the Wonder Typhoon, a more powerful version of her small energy wave attack which shoots numerous small energy waves towards the left and right sides of the screen simultaneously, while she is spinning.

The game is notable for featuring some slightly risqué content for the time, in the form of fanservice (at Momo's expense). When Momo jumps, the player can visibly see her underwear. Momo also needs to be wary of photographers in the theatre audience, who are determined to get a peek under her miniskirt. If one is successful, Momo will be "embarrassed" (stunned) for a short period of time. Additionally, one of the images that appears on the theater curtain (at the beginning and end of some acts) is Momo wearing only a towel.

Ports and related releases
The titular character made numerous appearances outside of her video game, mostly in Namco's other video games. Wonder Momo appeared as one of the playable characters in the Japan-only, tactical RPG title Namco x Capcom, partnering with Bravoman, while Amazona appeared as an enemy character. Momo often covered herself, alluding to the original game. Some artifacts, models and costumes based on Wonder Momo appeared in some other Namco titles. She appeared as a magnus card in the Namco RPG Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, made a cameo appearance as one of Anise's dolls in Tales of the Abyss, had her normal self appear as one of the various floats that appear in the bonus stages of Marvel Land, and had her "Wonder" costume appear in Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 and in Catalogue 4 in the Xbox 360 game The Idolmaster. Her latest appearance lies in the PSP strategy RPG Queen's Gate: Spiral Chaos. A theme based on Wonder Momo, with the game's characters is featured in Pac-Man 99, as special DLC.

In other media
Wonder Momo received a brief adaptation as part of the manga anthology Famitsu Comix: The Shape of Happiness (しあわせのかたち), published in the Famitsu Comics collection from March 1989, drawn by Tamakichi Sakura.

Besides appearing in video games, J-pop singer Haruko Momoi released an album influenced by the video game fully titled as WONDER MOMO-i〜New recording〜 (a pun combining her last name with the name of this game). It utilizes both the game's main gameplay theme and the "henshin" (transformation) theme. Yujin released a gashapon figure of Momo as part of the "Namco Girls" collection.

ShiftyLook comic
Wonder Momo was resurrected as an internet comic strip on Namco Bandai's comic strip website ShiftyLook with the title Wonder Momo: Battle Idol in March 2012. The series, illustrated by Omar Dogan and written by Erik Ko and Jim Zub, is set 25 years after the original game and focuses on Momoko, an idol who, after failing a TV show audition, encounters a race of aliens who give her Wonder Momo's powers. Learning to harness them, she begins battling evil aliens as well as rival hero Amazona, who is actually a popular idol named Akiho Mazo who was inspired by the original Wonder Momo, later revealed to be Momoko's mother. Wonder Momo also made several appearances in Shiftylook's concurrent Bravoman webcomic and webseries, voiced by Romi Dames in the latter. The comic concluded with its 200th page in March 2014, following the announcement of ShiftyLook's closure.

Anime
Wonder Momo, an anime miniseries, is based on the story from the 2012 ShiftyLook webcomic. The series was produced by Graphinica and spanned five seven-minute episodes, which were released weekly on streaming sites Niconico and Crunchyroll beginning on February 6, 2014. The voice cast includes Yuka Fujiwara as Momoko, Misaki Komatsu as Akiho, and Haruko Momoi reprising the role of the original Wonder Momo.

A side-scrolling action game developed by WayForward Technologies and produced by ShiftyLook, titled Wonder Momo: Typhoon Booster, was released for Android devices and Macintosh in 2014, with a PC version planned for a later date. Following ShiftyLook's closure, the PC version was cancelled, and the Macintosh and Android versions were delisted in 2015.

Reception
In Japan, Game Machine listed Wonder Momo on their April 1, 1987 issue as being the fourth most-successful table arcade unit of the month.

Reviewing the PC-Engine home conversion, German publication Aktueller Software Markt (ASM) liked the game's large sprites, soundtrack and special effects, alongside its simple and easy-to-understand gameplay. The Games Machine magazine found it to be "great fun" for its bizarre premise, gameplay and visuals, while Famitsu praised its large, detailed sprites and catchy soundtrack. Famitsu also praised the PC-Engine version for being a faithful conversion of the arcade release.

Varina, Virginia

Varina is a former unincorporated community and current magisterial district in the easternmost portion of Henrico County, Virginia, United States.

Varina Plantation
The first occurrence of the name Varina was in 1632 which was ten years after the death of John Rolfe. A persistent but incorrect legend linking Varina Plantation with John Rolfe and Pocahontas arose in the mid-19th century. 20.6. 1632 p 107 [CP p15] WILLIAM DAWKES, Planter, 250 acs. in the upper part neare the neck of land commonly called Verinas, butting E. upon 2 Mi. Cr., W. towards land of Thomas Packer, (or Parker), S upon a Swamp adi. to the maine river. Due in right of his father Henry Dawkes & his uncle William Leigh for their per. adv. & by bill of adv. dated 14 July 1608 & granted to him by order of Ct. the 7 Oct. last past. His first devdt., to be doubled.

County seat and town
The Native American massacre (Powhatan attack of 1622) resulted in the downfall of the Henricus settlement. The Varina settlement built up around much of Varina Plantation. Varina covered an area of 18 by 25 miles, but it later became known as Henrico. After that, Varina generally referred to the plantation. Varina became the county seat of Henrico when it was formed as one of the eight original shires of Virginia in 1634.

In 1666, the first courthouse was built at Varina for Henrico County. Varina was established as an unincorporated community in 1680.

By 1640, a church for Henrico Parish and other buildings were built either on the Varina plantation or in the settlement of Varina, but their location is unknown. By 1640, Varina was the site of the Henrico Parish glebe. From 1685 to 1694, Rev. James Blair was the minister at Varina Parish. He was made College of William & Mary's first rector in 1694 and was one of the founders of the school. After Blair, William Stith lived at the glebe at Varina.

In 1741, the Henrico Parish church was relocated to the present location of St. John's Episcopal Church in the Church Hill section of Richmond. Varina remained the county seat of Henrico County until 1752, when the seat was relocated to the growing city of Richmond, located at the head of navigation on the north side of the James River.

Varina historic districts
Varina historic districts include Cedar Hill and Armour House, Curles Neck, Dabbs House, Dorey Barn, Gravel Hill, and Osborne School House.

In November 1635, a land patent was attained by Captain Thomas Harris for 750 acres, of that 100 acres were awarded for being an early settler during the "time of Sir Thomas Dale". Harris represented Curles Neck at the House of Burgesses. His house was among the oldest in Virginia between 1635 and 1654, the ruins of which have been part of an archaeological study. The ruins were found near the existing house built in the early 18th century. It had tunnels to the James River to escape attacks by Native Americans. First called Longfield, it is now commonly known at Curles Neck Plantation, the residence of Nathaniel Bacon, who led Bacon's Rebellion during the Colonial period and also was known for his campaigns against Native Americans. Bacon lived at the plantation from 1674 until his death in 1676. The property was confiscated by the British after Bacon was found guilty of treason. In 1698, the Randolph family of Virginia and held the property for longer than other owners. The Georgian style plantation is believed to have been destroyed during the Civil War.

Dabbs House was a residence of the Antebellum South which is located near the Eastern Government Center of Henrico and was the eastern headquarters of the Henrico's Division of Police. Chief Justice John Marshall owned the Chickahominy Farm near Meadowview Park as a country residence in the early 19th century.

The owner of Cedar Hill, James D. Vaughan, was a member of the 10th Regiment of the Virginia Cavalry during the Civil War and had served in the Virginia militia. The Greek Revival style farmhouse, built in the 19th century, still survives but has been part of a project to restore the building and it was moved from its original location.

Civil War
During the Civil War, Clover Forest Plantation was Robert E. Lee's headquarters for a period. The Seven Days Battle (1862) began in the Varina area and Lee was able to watch the battle from a bluff on what is now Meadowview Park. Cedar Hill was used as a camp during the Seven Days Battle, including by Confederate units of Dershaws Division.

During the Civil War (1861–1865), it was one of the two major Southern places for prisoner exchange. Union General Benjamin Butler took over the plantation for his official headquarters and the house and cabin housed his staff. Robert E. Lee, a Confederate soldier, established his Richmond-area headquarters at the Dabbs House.

Economy change
After the emergence of Richmond as a major community and port in the mid-18th century, and as land transportation became better, the location of Varina, which was not on any major roadway, became more isolated, gradually slipping into primarily farming use.

Archaeology
Prehistoric Native American occupation has been identified in Meadowview Park by archaeologists.

Cascade Airways

Cascade Airways was an airline in the northwest United States which flew primarily regional air routes out of Seattle, Washington. Founded in 1969, it operated for 17 years and was shut down in 1986. Its IATA code (CZ) was later assigned to China Southern Airlines which was formed two years after Cascade's shutdown.

Operations
Headquartered in Spokane, Washington, Cascade Airways served the northwest U.S., primarily Seattle, Spokane, Salt Lake City, Portland, Pasco, Pullman, Boise, and Yakima. Other points served included Wenatchee, WA, Moses Lake, WA, Walla Walla, WA (which was the location of Cascade's main maintenance base), Lewiston, ID, Idaho Falls, ID, Pocatello, ID, Kalispell, Missoula, Helena, and Butte in Montana, and Calgary, Alberta in Canada. Also served were Eugene, OR, Medford, OR; Reno, NV; Twin Falls, ID; Olympia, WA; and Richland, WA (via Pasco).

When Horizon Air began operating in 1981, Cascade was then competing against a better financed airline with Horizon Air eventually acquiring Air Oregon and Transwestern Airlines. Cascade then sought help from Horizon in 1985, but Horizon subsequently backed out of the deal and Cascade was forced to cease operations in March 1986.

Cascade introduced British Aircraft Corporation BAC One-Eleven twinjet aircraft into its fleet in the fall of 1984. The BAC One-Eleven was the only jetliner type it ever operated. Cascade was also operating Hawker Siddeley HS 748, Beechcraft 1900C, and Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner (Metro III) turboprop aircraft at this time.

Destinations in 1984 and 1985
According to its system timetables dated October 15, 1984 and April 4, 1985, Cascade was serving the following destinations. Those destinations appearing in bold typeface received BAC One-Eleven jet service. Most of the destinations that received jet service were also served with turboprop aircraft by the airline. Other destinations were served with turboprop aircraft only:

 * Boise, ID (BOI) – Focus city
 * Butte, MT (BTM)
 * Calgary, AB Canada (YYC) – only international destination served by Cascade
 * Eugene, OR (EUG)
 * Helena, MT (HLN)
 * Idaho Falls, ID (IDA)
 * Kalispell, MT (FCA)
 * Lewiston, ID/Clarkston, WA (LWS)

 * Beechcraft C99 turboprop
 * Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante turboprop
 * Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner (Metro III model) turboprop
 * Hawker Siddeley HS 748 turboprop – the 48-passenger HS 748 was the largest turboprop aircraft ever operated by Cascade.

Accidents and incidents
On January 20, 1981, Cascade Airways Flight 201, Beech 99 N390CA, operating Seattle-Yakima-Moses Lake-Spokane, crashed at 11:27 am PST in fog during its approach to Spokane International Airport. Of the nine aboard, seven were killed: five passengers and the cockpit crew, Captain David Weinberger and First Officer Paul Davis. Two passengers, Steven Tarnoff and James Eagle. survived the crash, explosion, and fire. It clipped Riddle Hill and crashed into the wooded hillside 4.5 mi southwest of the airport; the NTSB investigation resulted in a determination of pilot error due to the crew using an incorrect frequency for a navigational aid and subsequently descending below the Minimum Descent Height for that approach to the airport. At the time of the crash, Cascade operated twelve Beech 99s and three Embraer Bandeirantes to eighteen cities in the Pacific Northwest.

Cascade had previously acquired Richland-based Columbia Pacific Airlines in November 1978, following a fatal crash of a Columbia Pacific Beech 99. Flight 23 over-rotated and stalled on take-off from the Richland Airport on February 10, 1978, killing both pilots and all 15 passengers.

On February 18, 1972, Cascade Airways Flight 325, a Beech 99 operating Seattle-Walla Walla-Pullman-Spokane, crashed in fog at 9:42 pm PST during its instrument approach to Spokane International Airport, and came to rest in a muddy field less than 2 mi southwest of the runway. Two passengers and two crew were aboard, and all survived with minor injuries. The pilot, Lee M. Leslie of Spokane, walked from the crash site to a nearby service station to report it. The crash site was about 200 yd from the Medical Lake exit (#272) of Interstate 90 and the landing gear of the plane was extended. Due to fog, the flight had stopped in Pasco rather than Walla Walla.

On June 20, 1969, less than two weeks after commencing flights, Cascade Airways Beech 99 N2550A, operating on a cargo flight with no passengers lost power on takeoff and crashed at Pasco Airport, killing both crew members. The pilot was company vice president Vaughn Gundlach, age 35, and the co-pilot was Doug Thomson, age 24.

Campion School, Bugbrooke

Campion School is a co-educational secondary school in Bugbrooke, about 6 mi from Northampton, Northamptonshire. Founded in 1969, it became a Language College in September 1997, and in 2011 the school became an academy. The school had 1397 students on roll for the 2014-2015 school year, with 71 teaching staff and 19 teaching assistants. In 2020 the school had 1738 students on roll, 69 Teaching staff and 21 teaching assistants. On 1 September 2023, Campion School & Language College became part of the United Learning Trust.

History
The original buildings were built from 1966 to 1968 by the county architect's department and it was the first purpose-built comprehensive school in Northamptonshire. Extensions were added in 1971-2.

Performance and achievement
The school's latest full Ofsted inspection was in 2018, when the school was found to be "insufficient" in all areas, except for the sixth form. A section 8 report in 2015 which focused on the progress of disadvantaged students (the main weakness in the previous report) showed mixed results.

Grapefruit (band)

Grapefruit were a London-based British band of the late 1960s, brought together by Terry Doran of Apple Publishing, a music publishing company started and owned by the Beatles. Their brand of music was a typical late 1960s blend of rock, which they often fused with psychedelic effects such as phasers and vocoders, or classical arrangements.

Biography
In summer 1967, Doran, a longtime friend of Brian Epstein's and the new managing director of Apple Publishing, signed Scottish-born singer and bass guitarist George Alexander, born Alexander Young, the older brother of the Easybeats' guitarist/songwriter George Young (and also of Malcolm and Angus Young, both founding members of the Australian hard rock band AC/DC), to a publishing contract. Alexander Young had chosen to remain in Britain when the rest of the Youngs emigrated to Australia, and had previously played with The Bobby Patrick Six, with whom he toured Germany in the mid-1960s. In November 1967, John Perry, a former member of Tony Rivers and the Castaways, pitched some of his songs to Doran at Apple Publishing. Doran rejected the songs but proposed combining Perry and his bandmates Geoff Swettenham and Pete Swettenham with Alexander to form a new group. The band was named Grapefruit by John Lennon after a book written by his future wife Yoko Ono that was also entitled Grapefruit. Doran became their manager, seeing some commercial potential in them.

Apple promptly licensed Grapefruit's music publishing rights for the U.S. to a new publishing and recording label being formed by Terry Melcher entitled Equinox. However, since Apple did not have its own record label at the time, Doran arranged for the band's records to be licensed to RCA Records in the UK and to Equinox in the U.S. They were the second band signed to Apple Publishing, following the Liverpool group Focal Point, who were signed by Doran in September 1967. In addition, the Beatles continued to take an interest in Grapefruit, with John Lennon introducing the band to the media in January 1968 and inviting John Perry to join in on the recording of the hit single "Hey Jude". In addition to Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr of the Beatles, Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, Donovan, and Cilla Black attended the press launch and were photographed with the band. Jimi Hendrix and Sajid Khan were reportedly also in attendance.

When Melcher came to the UK to sign the publishing deal with Apple, he was persuaded to produce Grapefruit's inaugural single "Dear Delilah", which peaked at number 21 in the UK Singles Chart in the spring of 1968. As a follow-up single, Lennon and McCartney took the band into the studio in January 1968 to record the song "Lullaby" (also known as "Lullaby for a Lazy Day" and originally called "Circus Sgt. Pepper"). However, when RCA asked for the follow-up single, the recording (which had been made at Advision Sound Studios in London) was not turned over, as Lennon and McCartney were in India, and Grapefruit instead submitted the songs "Elevator" and "Yes", which became a two-A-sided single but failed to chart. For a third single, Grapefruit submitted several other new songs, and a cover of The Four Seasons' "C'mon Marianne" was remixed (at RCA's request) by Derek Lawrence and reached number 35.

Before the next single could be released, RCA dropped the band in the UK, and the new head of Apple Publishing, Mike O'Connor, released the group from its Apple contracts, (except for the original publishing contract with George Alexander), and Terry Doran (still managing Grapefruit) signed the band directly to Equinox. Terry Melcher then resumed producing Grapefruit, including re-mixing or re-recording earlier songs (for which Apple was willing to supply the tapes), but the Lennon-McCartney version of "Lullaby" was still not released.

In December 1968, the group went through a small line-up change. John Perry moved to bass, while George Alexander switched to guitar. They also added Mick Fowler on keyboards and released a fourth single, "Someday Soon", which also failed to chart. Grapefruit then released two albums (Around Grapefruit (1968) and Deep Water (1969)) with limited success, while their single "Deep Water" did crack the German Top 20, peaking at No. 19. Grapefruit broke up in late 1969, although Pete Swettenham had left the group earlier in the year and been replaced by Bob Wale on the second album. Toward the end of their career, following the new material being written by Alexander (with some inclusions by Wale), Grapefruit shifted from melodic pop to more of a rock-based sound, referred to as soft rock in a full-page Billboard advertisement for their second album, Deep Water.

After the break-up, Alexander remained the most visible. Alexander joined forces with his brother George Young and his songwriting partner Harry Vanda from the Easybeats and, in 1970, they recorded for the Young Blood label as Paintbox and Tramp. Alexander also participated in sessions for Vanda and Young's Marcus Hook Roll Band. In 1971, they revived the Grapefruit name, issuing, "Universal Party" / "Sha Sha", but the single was a one-off release with no follow-up.

In 2016, a 20-song compilation of all of Grapefruit's recordings for Apple prior to November 1968, entitled Yesterday's Sunshine, was released by RPM Records. This compilation (with 18 songs written by Alexander, 1 by Perry, plus the cover "C'Mon Marianne") was the first to include the original version of "Lullaby" that was produced by Lennon and McCartney, as the version released on Around Grapefruit was a later, group-produced version that had been remixed by Melcher, who also added an orchestral arrangement.

Activities outside of Grapefruit
Peter Swettenham became a producer and engineer. His production includes singles for Driftwood, The Playground, Jimmy Cassidy, Liverpool Express, John Le Mesurier, Pavement, The Cats and others. He also was the assistant engineer on the Band on the Run album by Paul McCartney and Wings.

Sunflower Records

Sunflower Records was a Los Angeles, California-based record label founded by songwriter Mack David and music industry veteran Danny Kessler that operated from 1970 to 1972. The label was distributed by MGM Records. Sunflower issued fewer than 30 singles and a dozen albums.

Albums
Early in its operation, Sunflower obtained the rights to some 1966 vintage concert recordings by the Grateful Dead. They issued these as the albums Vintage Dead (SUN-5001) and Historic Dead (SNF-5004), both of which made the record charts. They followed the first Grateful Dead LP with another live set, Live At The Family Dog (SUN-5002) from popular performer Danny Cox, who reminded listeners of the folk era. Another artist was Randy Edelman, who would later find success in writing songs picked up by more famous artists such as Barry Manilow. Edelman's debut album, Sunflower SNF-5005, was released in 1971.

Singles
Sunflower Records' first single, "Song Of A Thousand Voices"/ "You Can Cry If You Want To" (Sunflower 101), was by Fearless Fradkin a/k/a/ Les Fradkin and the third (Sunflower 103) was "Hippie Lady" / "Patty Cake" by the Yummies, both of which surfaced as regional hits in various sections of the US in fall 1970. By the time they reached #105, they came up with a fictitious artist called Daddy Dewdrop, who coupled "Chick-A-Boom (Don't Ya Jes' Love It)" with the children's tune "John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith". Surprisingly, the song "Chick-A-Boom," a wry sexual fantasy put to music, jumped into the national top-10, the biggest hit the label ever had. The Daddy Dewdrop album, which followed the successful single, was a light-hearted, if not lightweight, effort that sealed the fate of Daddy Dewdrop as a one-hit wonder, never to be heard from again. The follow-up single, "The March of the White Corpuscles"/"Fox Huntin'" (Sunflower 111), sank without a trace.

Other artists
Other notable artists on the label included Jasper Wrath, Storm (featuring songwriter Larry Weiss), Tony Scotti, Frankie Laine and R.B. Greaves. The last single to make the charts was Sunflower 118, "Love Me, Love Me, Love" by pianist Frank Mills, which reached the top 50 in early 1972. Mills was to make a top-3 record, "Music Box Dancer," about seven years later on Polydor Records.

William Bedle

William Bedle (4 March 1680 – 3 June 1768) was an English cricketer who played for Dartford Cricket Club and Kent county cricket teams in the first quarter of the 18th century. With the possible exception of Charles Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond, Bedle is the earliest known accomplished player, certainly the earliest who is renowned solely for his expertise as a player. He was born in Bromley but lived most of his life near Dartford, where he was a wealthy farmer and grazier.

Cricket career
Bedle is the first known cricketer "who achieved great prominence in the game". His obituary in Lloyd's Evening Post dated 10 June 1768 said that he was "formerly accounted the most expert cricket player in England". Rowland Bowen wrote that Bedle was "the first in a long line that must include Fuller Pilch, W. G. Grace, Jack Hobbs and Wally Hammond".

Bedle played in the first quarter of the 18th century. He was a member of Dartford Cricket Club, which was "the greatest Kent team of the first half of the eighteenth century" and which was sometimes considered representative of Kent as a county. Few details of cricket matches from the early 18th centuries have survived, and so what is known about Bedle's career has been pieced together by historical analysis; contemporary newspaper reports rarely mentioned a player by name, with the emphasis often on betting rather than on matches.

Personal life
Bedle lived near Dartford for most of his life, where he was a farmer and grazier. His name, also spelled Beddel, is recorded on a tablet in Dartford parish church listing the bellringers of 1749. He died at his home near Dartford on 3 June 1768, aged 88.

Talk:Status quo

Source / usage
When did the term come into common usage ? Is it really from "status quo ante bellum" or direct from the latin ? -- Beardo 09:13, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Spain and statu quo
I know for certain that in Spain we have been told by the academics that we should use the form Statu Quo, the correct one instead of the one with "s". Since it is a latin term, shouldn't all tongues use the same term?? Carlos —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.218.96.161 (talk) 17:29, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It's a term from Latin, but in English we've borrowed it as "status quo". (I think it's a fairly general rule that Latin nominals are borrowed into English in their nominative forms. The only exception I can think of offhand is "propaganda", which is in the feminine ablative.) —Ruakh TALK 19:27, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Statu quo or Status quo? I think the correct is the latin expression Statu quo (without "s"), besides of the new usage with "s". Maybe a good argument is that in English there isn't the word "quo", neither the word "statu". Why create it? Check other languages at Wikipedia... you will see. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.81.17.52 (talk) 19:43, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I think there is a misunderstanding here. The original has statū because that is the correct form to use after the word ‘in’. The rest of the time it will commonly be in the nominative status. The plural, by the way, is statūs. — Chameleon 00:46, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

High School Musical
I think the reference to High School Musical is irrelevant to the topic. The song itself adds no additional information to the article - and even if it did, the article doesn't touch on that point. 71.36.83.69 (talk) 04:42, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Ottoman rule in Palestine
''When did the term come into common usage ? Is it really from "status quo ante bellum" or direct from the latin ? -- Beardo 09:13, 10 July 2006 (UTC)'' I have read that during the Ottoman rule in Palestine (1516 - 1917ish) they attempted to settle disputing religious claims to holy sites between the various Christian denominations by drawing up a rights of possession for nine of these sites. This ruling was known as the "Status Quo" and remains applicable today. mostlyblack

Sections?
This article has three sections. More would be preposterous, yet it has a tag. I don't follow why. The tag was placed previously, and I removed it, stating my reason. It was replaced without discussion. Please discuss here before replacing the tag again, per WP:BRD. Robert A.West (Talk) 17:21, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Quotations
Hmmm... remind me to change the name of that section... Quotation sections tend to be problematic -- many are just a trivia list under another name. I can see the relevance of the two quotations I left standing, but I don't see where "Dr. Horrible's" quotation is any more interesting than any other quotation from a random work of fiction. Robert A.West (Talk) 17:33, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree about the "Dr. Horrible's" quotation - after visiting just the main page of the website the quote is referenced from, I would say the inclusion of this particular quotation seems more like a method of advertising than anything else. If "Dr. Horrible" will a more well-known "personality", there might be an argument for leaving it in (perhaps), but as is, I am going to remove it.  Dan Aquinas (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 15:25, 7 December 2009 (UTC).

First recorded use in English
Erm, if that isn't a contradiction...

But the Oxford English Dictionary cites the use of the phrase "status quo" was used decades before the phrase "status quo ante bellum" in English at leastCannonmc (talk) 12:19, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Proposed merge.
I propose to merge Status quo ante bellum into this article. They are both relatively short articles on topics relating to the derivation of the same Latin phrase. bd2412 T 14:06, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

I believe there are significant differences in the application and understanding of the two terms, which makes the two articles largely distinct. One term may be linguistically derivative of the other, but their applications and current understandings are independently used. A ´prince´ and ´princess´ share a similar connection of one word being derivative, but they both stand as independent concepts. So, I would reconsider merging the articles.

I just saw a trailer for Take the Lead (2006). This man at 31 looks and sounds exactly as he did at 16 (when he starred as Rufio in Hook).

Is there any abnormal medical reason for this, (as in the cases of Gary Coleman and Emmanuel Lewis), or is he just a naturally young looking/sounding person? --JohnDoe0007 (talk) 12:30, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Oh how I tire of hearing members on Wikipedia decide for themselves that things are not notable. Why, exactly, is the mention about Homestuck not notable here?

Now working with Homestuck team
Somewhat ironically given the 2012 discussion on the Homestuck "silliness" above, Dante Basco now appears to be working with What Pumpkin, having joined the creative team behind Homestuck in order to help produce a new wave of content known as "Homestuck 2.0". Basco discusses this himself, variously in this interview with Looter News (6:51), and now in this longer video where he is acting as an official representative of the What Pumpkin creative team. He's also spoken about this elsewhere, and it seems to be one of the major projects he's currently dedicating himself to. Given this, and Homestuck's own notability in the webcomics scene, possibly this should be worth a mention in the article. I can't find many external sources about this as the announcement video in question is less than 12 hours old, but I believe that notable persons are acceptable as primary source references about themselves? Assuming this even needs a reference for a quick note that he now is working with the Homestuck team on new projects. 86.18.79.99 (talk) 23:08, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Rescue Me (Madonna song)

"Rescue Me" is a song by American singer Madonna from her first greatest hits album, The Immaculate Collection (1990). Written and produced by Madonna and Shep Pettibone, the song was released as the second single from The Immaculate Collection on February 26, 1991, in the United States, and as the third single on April 7 in the United Kingdom. A dance-pop and gospel-house track, the song is accompanied by the sound of thunder and rain, with the lyrics talking of romantic love rescuing the singer.

The song's commercial release was accompanied by different remixes. "Rescue Me" received positive critical response for both the original version and the remixes, as well as Pettibone's production work. Reviewers noted it as an example of Madonna's future musical endeavors to come. "Rescue Me" reached the top-ten of the record charts in Canada, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States. In the latter country it became Madonna's 22nd top-ten song on the Billboard Hot 100. Lyrics from the song were used during an interlude on Madonna's 2019–20 Madame X Tour.

Background and release
By the end of 1990, Madonna was ready to release her first greatest hits collection, The Immaculate Collection. According to J. Randy Taraborrelli, author of Madonna: An Intimate Biography, the release was "much more than a mere collection of Madonna's biggest-selling and most popular songs". The singer relegated it as a "proud landmark" of her career which had progressed upwards since she broke out in the music scene in 1982. The collection had 15 of Madonna's previously released singles, along with two new songs, "Justify My Love" and "Rescue Me". The former was released as the first single from the record, and was controversial due to its explicit music video which had been banned from airing in television.

Prior to its release as a single, "Rescue Me" started receiving airplay on the radio as an album cut. The cover artwork featured a still image of Madonna from the music video of "Justify My Love". In the United States, the track was released as the second single on February 26, 1991, and as the third single on April 7 in the United Kingdom, due to "Crazy for You" (1985) released as the second single from the collection.

A video clip consisting of compiled footage from Madonna's 1987 Who's That Girl World Tour was eventually released to accompany the single. Lyrics from the song were used during an interlude on Madonna's 2019–20 Madame X Tour; a row of dancers "convulsed gracefully" to the song at the lip of the stage to irregular breaths, described as one of the concert's "most powerful dance moments" by The New York Times' Jon Pareles.

Recording and composition
Madonna wrote and produced "Rescue Me" with Shep Pettibone, with whom she had worked on "Vogue". It was recorded at Axis Studios in New York City by engineer P. Dennis Mitchell, who was assisted by Curt Frasca and John Partham. Peter Schwartz played keyboards and did the programming on the track with assistance from Joe Moskowitz and Junior Vasquez. Tony Shimkin edited the song at Axis while Ted Jensen mastered it at Sterling Sound Studio. "Rescue Me" was mixed by Pettibone and Goh Hotoda at Sound Works Studio in New York. The mixing was done in QSound which at that time was a new audio filter to create a three-dimensional sound effect. This was employed on all of Madonna's past hits on The Immaculate Collection.

"Rescue Me" is a dance-pop and gospel-house track. Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as a house colored pop-dance rave. According to sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Publishing, the song is composed in the key of D♭ major with a moderate tempo of 116 beats per minute. It is set in the time signature of common time with Madonna's vocals ranging from B♭3 to E♭5. The song follows a sequence of E♭m–D♭/E♭–A♭sus4/E♭–A♭/E♭ as its chord progression. The song opens with a heartbeat and thunder, followed by a prominent bass line, piano, snaps, and percussion. Reminiscent of the songs by British synth-pop duo Yazoo and other 1980s disco acts, "Rescue Me" has Madonna growling the lines, especially towards the end. The thick arrangement has backing vocals by Dian Sorel, Catherine Russell and Broadway actor Lillias White. The ending of the track has the instrumentation fading away to leave just the backing vocals and then the song ends with the sound of thunder and rain.

Lyrically, "Rescue Me" makes allusions to love rescuing the singer. Author Santiago Fouz-Hernández noted in the book Madonna's Drowned Worlds that the lines portray the second theme prevalent in Madonna's work alongside sex, that of romantic love. The singer relegates love as savior in the lyrics when she belts "I believe in the power of love / I believe that you can rescue me". It references the 1967 songs, "Stop Her on Sight (S.O.S.)" by Edwin Starr and "Respect" by Aretha Franklin. According to Katharine Birbalsingh from The Daily Telegraph, the confessional lyrics found Madonna reaching out directly to the listener, "pleading for the love and attention" needed through the lines like "You see that I'm ferocious, you see that I am weak / You see that I am silly, and pretentious and a freak" before it turned to an affirmation of her grit.

Outside of the US, the song was released with Madonna's 1987 single "Spotlight" as its B-side. It was accompanied by eight different remixes by Pettibone. An extended mix was created called the "Titanic Vocal mix", alongside a stripped down "Houseboat Vocal mix" which used a new beat and instrumentation, the sound of piano and a sample from Madonna's 1986 single, "True Blue". The Lifeboat and the S.O.S. mixes incorporate louder and busy beats with the former being similar in composition to "Vogue". All of them keep the original vocals intact in the remix, with a dubbed version also being released.

Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard described Madonna's vocals as her "most potent to date" and Pettibone's production "stellar", while also complimenting that the song's remixes, saying Pettibone "has outdone himself this time, creating several new versions that should suit a variety of formats... In any mix, 'Rescue Me' proves to be far meatier and long-lasting than the previous 'Justify My Love'." Taraborrelli described the track as a "standard, pulsating dance fare" noting it to be opposite of "Justify My Love". Rikky Rooksby found the "growling" vocals by Madonna to be "ill-advised" but was positive about the ending of the track with the sound of the rain and thunder. David Browne from Entertainment Weekly called the song as a "flimsy 'Vogue' rewrite" in his review for The Immaculate Collection, feeling that it did not break "new ground" for the singer. Alan Jones from Music Week stated that Madonna "moves uptempo with a rhythmically apposite dancefloor contender which will shine at retail too." He added, "Her consistency is awesome." James Hamilton from Record Mirror described it as "a gospel chorus punctuated at turns rasping and mumbling plaintive unhurried trotter". In an album guide for Rolling Stone, the track was described as "worthy" and "sensual". Andrew Harrison from Select relegated it as "more usual upfront Madonna dance workout with histrionic strings" but found it—along with "Justify My Love"—to showcase the singer's vulnerability, sexual predication and submission, all of which gave "Madonna's records an edge".

Jose F. Promis from AllMusic reviewed the remixes by Pettibone and gave a positive review believing them to have held up "surprisingly well" many years since their release and are "good examples of what house/pop dance music was like in the early '90s". A reviewer from Sputnikmusic rated the song four out of five, finding it similar to "Justify My Love" but "just not as good. It's a shame that this ends the album rather than [the former], but that's the way it goes, I suppose". Robbie Daw from Idolator listed "Rescue Me" as one of the best Madonna songs that radio had forgotten noting that the track, along with "Justify My Love" "kicked off [her] early '90s period where she gabbed through tracks rather than singing on them". Eric Henderson from Slant Magazine, while reviewing Celebration, described "Rescue Me" as "simmering" and the "upside" of The Immaculate Collection. James Rose from Daily Review noted that with the song Madonna began "a phase of her career that oscillates between cynical self-exploitation and courageous self-expression. Raunchy videos, explicitly themed lyrics and boudoir beats became de rigueur for the lady now arguably bearing the biggest name in popular music." LA Weekly's Michael Cooper ranked the track at number 14 in his list of Madonna's Top 20 Singles. He opined that the song heralded the singer's future musical endeavors with fifth studio album Erotica (1992), and was "innovative for its time" bridging the gap between Madonna of the 1980s and 1990s. Chuck Arnold from Entertainment Weekly listed "Rescue Me" as Madonna's 45th best single, writing that "if 'Vogue' had a gospel choir taking it to church, it might sound something like ['Rescue Me']". While ranking Madonna's singles in honor of her 60th birthday, Jude Rogers from The Guardian placed the track at number 44, calling it an example of the "over propulsive early-90s electronica". In March 2023, Billboard ranked the song as Madonna's 99th greatest ever, with Joe Lynch writing: "Tension-laden synths, a bubbling bass line and a warm house beat swirl like a baptismal rainstorm".

Chart performance
In the United States, Michael Ellis from Billboard noted that "Rescue Me" had entered the Hot 100 Airplay chart prior to its commercial release, and had already climbed to number seven. It was already being played in almost all major radio stations in the country. After release, the track debuted at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on the week of March 2, 1991. It was the highest debut for a song within the previous 21 years, since the Beatles' "Let It Be" debuted at number six in March 1970. After three weeks, the song reached number nine on the Hot 100, becoming Madonna's 22nd top-ten single. The track reached number six on the Dance Club Songs chart, aided by the remixes played in clubs. On May 24, 1991, "Rescue Me" was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of over 500,000 copies. In Canada, the song debuted on the RPM Top Singles chart at number 96 and reached a peak of number seven after nine weeks. It also reached top-five on the RPM Dance/Urban chart. The song was present for a total of 16 weeks on the Singles chart and ranked at number 55 on the 1991 year-end tabulation.

In Australia, "Rescue Me" debuted at number 31 on the ARIA Charts, and after four weeks reached a peak of number 15. In New Zealand the song managed to reach number 18 and was present for six weeks on the chart. In the United Kingdom, the track had debuted at number 84 on the UK Singles Chart and then dropped off. It re-entered at number four in April 1991 and reached its peak position of number three a week later, being present for a total of nine weeks in the chart. According to Music & Media, the track reached the top of the UK sales chart. As of August 2008, it has sold 134,767 copies in the country according to the Official Charts Company. Across Europe, "Rescue Me" reached the top 20 of the charts in Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland,  and top 40 in France, Germany and Sweden. Its commercial performance in the European countries helped it attain a peak of number three on the European Hot 100 Singles chart, placing at number 90 on the year-end ranking.
