Jeannine Cook

Jeannine Cook (born in 1944), is a contemporary metalpoint artist who works from her studio in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, after living in the United States. Encouraged to concentrate on art rather than languages and freelance journalism by Jeanne Nelson Szabo, a former Professor of Art at University of California Los Angeles, Cook initially exhibited watercolours in Westchester, New York, and elsewhere in New York from 1979 onwards.

Cook was quickly accepted for membership in such artists’ organisations as the Mamaroneck Artists Guild, Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Artists Club, New York, and the American Artists Professional League, New York, with which she often exhibited. She was subsequently selected for membership in the National Association of Women Artists, The Pen & Brush in New York, and Women’s Caucus for Art, as well as being a Signature Member of the Georgia Watercolor Society.

In 1983, Cook moved with her husband to coastal Georgia, where the couple spent two years building a post-and-beam house bordering on salt water marshes. During this period, she set aside her art practice. When she returned to art, she began to draw in metalpoint, a medium little known amongst both artists and the general public. Soon Cook was exhibiting in solo shows in local museums and galleries in Georgia and beyond, and her drawings and watercolours began to enter numerous museum and private collections. Her work was acquired by the Georgia Art Acquisition Program for Gainesville College in 1986. In 2003, she was awarded a public art commission from the Fulton County Arts Council, Atlanta, Georgia. By 2011, Cook was increasingly specialising in drawing and painting far less in watercolours.

Cook's drawing practice has continued both in the United States and Europe, with frequent solo and group exhibitions on both continents. Her work is now represented in such museums as the British Museum, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and BAMPFA, in Berkeley, California, among many others around the world.

Life
Cook was born in Kenya, and grew up on her family’s farm in the Northern Province of Tanzania, near Arusha. From an early age she had a keen interest in agriculture, and worked alongside the Africans, Afrikaans, British and Sikhs employed on the mixed farms. With her mother, Patricia Wright, guiding her, she learnt the correct botanical structure and petal colour of innumerable flowers grown commercially for seed, whilst also participating in the cultivation of coffee, seed beans and aromatic plants destined for the perfume trade. Cook's family members were committed environmentalists long before the term became a household word. Living with her parents and widely-travelled grandparents in the same house, Cook was exposed to Australian, European, Asian (particularly Japanese) and African cultural influences. This exposure almost certainly contributed to the development of her passion for nature, travelling and all forms of art. The long fascinated hours she spent in the darkroom with her photographer grandfather led to the genesis of her love of monochromatic photographs and drawings. In addition to these influences, she learned much of local and British politics as both her grandfather, Francis James Anderson, and father, Jack Wright, were very active politically.

Cook finished her high school education at Limuru High School, outside Nairobi, Kenya, at the same time that the then Tanganyika (later Tanzania) became independent. She continued her studies in languages and business in London and Paris, then worked in an international organization, European Launcher Development Organisation (precursor to the European Space Agency), before taking another degree at EFAP, the French communications school. She married British scientist Albert Rundle Cook and moved to New York, where she divided her time between art and non-fiction writing, publishing work in Connoisseur Magazine and other publications. Cook and her husband moved to Georgia in 1983, where she became a full-time artist. Cook worked from her studio in coastal Georgia, before moving to Palma de Mallorca. Her central practice is metalpoint drawing.

Artistic Practice
Cook is among the early contemporary metalpoint artists currently employing the medium, having undertaken the practice in 1979. Prior to her metalpoint drawing, she had worked as a silversmith.

Frequently cited in written works on the topic of metalpoint, Cook has also taught and presented talks on the technique and curated metalpoint exhibitions.

Metalpoint was famously employed in European monasteries' scriptoria, such as Lindisfarne, in the 8th century AD but centuries before, in AD77, Pliny the Elder had alluded to drawing in silver in his Natural History. Highly conscious of metalpoint’s illustrious heritage, Cook draws mostly in silver, always from real life, and does not lay out any preparatory indications on the drawing surface before starting her drawing in metal. She believes that working directly from life confers spontaneity to a drawing, making it possible for intuition to guide the drawing and allowing the subject matter to dictate. For Cook, this method of drawing allows for unexpected results and opportunities to grow as an artist. Rigorous in her choice of archival-quality materials, Cook most often prepares her smooth drawing supports in advance with acrylic-based grounds, particularly if she is drawing outdoors in hot and insect-filled environments. Working on paper, board, and occasionally porcelain, the artist lets the silver and copper drawings tarnish naturally. Like other contemporary metalpoint artists, Cook experiments with the medium, exploring innovative ways to extend its unique properties. She frequently combines touches of colour with the monochromatic drawings, employing such media as Prismacolour, Polychromos pencil, watercolour, Plike paper, Washi papers, silk fabric and silk threads, whilst at other times she uses coloured grounds or coloured supports, such as in the drawing Tillandsia recurvata. Her artistic vocabulary also includes gold and silver foil and marks made with wide metal tools (spoons, rings or bracelets, wedges of silver, etc.). Her drawings on paper are executed in a range of sizes. Her oeuvre also includes artist books and watercolour paintings.

Cook's use of the mark-making metals is varied in style, ranging from realistic drawings of flowers, landscapes and other natural subjects to seemingly abstract studies of barks, stones and other natural materials, often depicted realistically but at close range.

Recent series have included Miro-inspired drawings done in and about the Fundación Pilar i Joan Miró in Palma de Mallorca, Pensando en Miro, a series entitled Terratorium based on the Chablis region in Burgundy, France, and De Natvræ, studies of nature drawn from many different sources. In 2022, Cook embarked on an ambitious large-scale project entitled Olive Tree Waltzes, an ensemble of drawings in silverpoint and goldpoint that are designed to be shown together.

Much of Cook's recent work has been carried out while in residency in France at La Porte Peinte Centre pour les Arts, Noyers sur Serein, Bordeneuve Retreat, Betchat (Ariège), and Hôtel Sainte Valière, Sainte Valière, as well as in Portugal, at OBRAS, Estremoz.

As Cook has evolved as a metalpoint artist, her choice of subject matter has widened from the early botanical studies which betray the deep influence of her nature-oriented East African life. Deeply passionate about environmental issues, Cook reminds us to wake up, to look, to truly see nature. Her art acts as an advocate for a more informed look at our planet, at details that reveal nature's past and present: hurricane-struck red cedar trees that become burnished silver skeletons, tree barks that bespeak age and endurance, stones that tell of past geological dramas. Given that the majority of the world’s population is now urban, Cook sees the need to share with art lovers the intricacy, elegance and vital importance of even the smallest aspect of life in the natural world. The rarity and allure of the lustrous metalpoint medium arouse curiosity and offer a starting point for dialogue about much wider environmental issues and the rewards that await us when we awaken to nature’s riches.

Exhibitions
Cook's metalpoint drawings have been shown in solo exhibitions in over a dozen museums and galleries in the past ten years, while she has also participated in more than twenty-two juried or invitational metalpoint gallery and museum group shows since 2010 in the United States, Europe and online exhibitions. Exhibition venues include MA Arte Contemporaneo (Palma de Mallorca, Spain), San Diego Museum of Art (San Diego, California), Can Prunera Museu Modernista (Soller, Mallorca), The Ashantilly Center (Darien, GA), Emory University (Atlanta), Birmingham Botanical Gardens (Alabama), Norfolk Arts Center (Norfolk, Nebraska), Fundación Barceló (Mallorca, Spain), Telfair Museums (Savannah, Georgia), National Arts Club (New York), Clement Art Gallery (Troy, New York), Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Science (Indiana), Musée des Arts Naïfs et Populaires de Noyers (Noyers sur Serein, Yonne, France), The Colors of Humanity Art Gallery (online), Marbury NYC (New York, New York), Morris Graves Museum of Art (Eureka, California), Swope Art Museum, (Terre Haute, Indiana), BAMPFA (Berkeley, California) and North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences (Raleigh).

Collections
Cook's metalpoint drawings are in the permanent collections of more than twenty public art institutions in Europe, the United States and Australia, including the British Museum (London, England), the Victoria & Albert Museum (London, England), The Fitzwilliam Museum (Cambridge University, UK) New Hall Women’s Art Collection (at Murray Edwards College, Cambridge University, UK), the National Museum of Women in the Arts (Washington), Huntington Museum of Art (Huntington, West Virginia), Fort Wayne Museum of Art (Fort Wayne, Indiana), Gibbes Museum of Art (Charleston, SC), McNay Museum of Art (San Antonio, Texas), Western Australian Museum (Perth, Western Australia), [The State Library of Western Australia], Perth, Legion Paper East, (New York, New York), North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences (Raleigh, NC), Dr. Shirley A. Sherwood Collection (London, England), Mayo Foundation (Rochester, MN), Spring Island Trust (Spring Island, Okatie, South Carolina), and Consell de Mallorca (Balearic Islands Government, Palma de Mallorca, Spain).

Devil's Den (game)

Devil's Den, subtitled "Hood's Assault at Gettysburg", is a board game published by Operational Studies Group (OSG) in 1980 that simulates the fighting to control the key Devil's Den terrain feature during the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War.

Background
During the second day of the three-day battle of Gettysburg, Devil's Den, a strategic hill, proved to be a weak spot in the Union battle line, and was overrun by Confederate troops from Alabama, Texas and Arkansas after fierce fighting.

Description
Devil's Den simulates the Confederate assault on the original Union position at Devil's Den.

Components
The game box contains:
 * 22" x 34" paper hex grid map of the ground between Little Round Top and Big Round Top, scaled at 30 yd (27 m) per hex
 * 400 die-cut counters
 * rule book
 * Study folder
 * player aid charts
 * two 6-sided dice

Gameplay
Several scenarios are included with the game, including one for the Confederate assault on Little Round Top.

Publication history
Leonard Millman and Dr. David Martin had previously produced the American Civil War wargame 20th Maine, published by OSG in 1979. The next year, Millman and Martin designed Devil's Den using many of the same rules; it was also published by OSG.

In 1985, Avalon Hill acquired the rights to the game, and revised the rules to include basic and advanced games. It was then republished with artwork by Charles Kibler and George I. Parrish, Jr.

Reception
In Issue 54 of Moves, Steve List considered this a much more refined game than its predecessor, 20th Maine, but noted that "The game plays well, but slowly compared to 20th Maine because of the greater number of counters and markers in play. It is no worse in this respect than any of the [Terrible Swift Sword] family, though." List concluded by giving Devil's Den a grade of B+.

Talk:Marvel Next

Runaways and Young Avengers?
I can't find any evidence that Runaways or Young Avengers or their crossovers were part of Marvel Next at all. I have all of the relevant issues in front of me at this moment, and there are no Marvel Next logos anywhere that I can find. The GCD also does not list them among the Marvel Next issues, and while their brand listings are often incomplete, I can't find any alternate covers on their site that feature the Marvel Next logo either. The GCD does list Amazing Fantasy, Araña The Heart of the Spider, Livewires, Spellbinder and X-23 as being part of this imprint.

The two links to www.ugo.com listed as reference now just go to the site's front page.

Anyone object to revising this to me revising this to remove those titles and anything other text that is centered around then involvement of the Runaways, the Young Avengers, or the Runaways offshoot team Excelsior (a.k.a. The Loners)?

Anuṣṭubh

 (अनुष्टुभ्, ) is a metre and a metrical unit, found in both Vedic and Classical Sanskrit poetry, but with significant differences.

By origin, an anuṣṭubh stanza is a quatrain of four lines. Each line, called a pāda (lit. "foot"), has eight syllables.

In Vedic texts
Arnold distinguishes three varieties of anuṣṭubh in the Vedic corpus: an early free form, with very few restrictions except a general iambic (u – u x) tendency in the cadence (vṛtta) of each of the four pādas; e.g.

 * ā´ yás te sar | pirāsute | – – – – | u – u – |
 * ágne śám ás | ti dhā´yase ‖ – – – – | u – u – ‖
 * áiṣu dyumnám | utá śrávah | – – – u | u – u u |
 * ā´ cittám már | tieṣu dhāh ‖ – – – – | u – u – ‖

Next came a mildly trochaic development in the opening of each pāda; and finally the development of the "epic anuṣṭubh" (mostly in the Atharvaveda) prefiguring the classical śloka form. Although in these hymns the iambic cadence of the first verse is still the most frequent (25%) of all varieties, it is already very nearly equalled (23%) by the normal and characteristic cadence of the first verse in the epic anuṣṭhubh (śloka), where the iambic cadence in the first verse has entirely disappeared.

It has been shown that the percentage of long (or heavy) syllables in 8-syllable lines in the Rigveda as a whole in each position is as follows:

 * 53%, 77%, 67%, 79%, 8%, 93%, 5%, 82%

Thus the first half of the line tends to be iambic, while the second half is almost always iambic. In those lines where the 2nd syllable is short, the third syllable is almost always long.

In Classical Sanskrit: the śloka
In classical Sanskrit the anuṣṭubh developed into its specific epic form known as śloka, as described above, which may be considered the Indian verse par excellence, occurring, as it does, far more frequently than any other metre in classical Sanskrit poetry.

By the 5th century CE, in the poetry of Kalidasa, the śloka had the restricted form shown in the table above. Each half-verse of 16 syllables can take either a pathyā ("normal") form or one of several vipulā ("extended") forms. The pathyā and vipulā half-verses are arranged in the table above in order of frequency of occurrence. The most common is the pathyā. Out of 2579 half-verses taken from Kalidasa, Bharavi, Magha, and Bilhana, each of the four admissible forms of shloka in this order claims the following share: 2289, 116, 89, 85; that is, 89% of the half-verses have the regular pathyā form.

In earlier epic, such as the Mahabharata, a fourth vipula is found, namely:
 * x x x –, | – u – x ||

Two rules that apply in every śloka are:
 * 1. In both pādas, in syllables 2–3, u u is not allowed.
 * 2. In the second pāda, in syllables 2–4, – u – is not allowed.

=Questions= =Talk Page copied from Talk:Hiragana & Katakana= Balloonguy 23:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC) -- The table layout looks nice, but it doesn't show the stroke order. I suggest commons:Chinese stroke order:Asian alphabets, which has images with the stroke order of all the hiragana and almost all of the katakana.

 * Xlbnushk 03:58, 17 November 2006 (UTC) -- Wow, that's...a lot. That's in the very distant future. I can't even figure out how to get the tables to work right yet.

Balloonguy 22:54, 17 November 2006 (UTC) -- I modified the table to show different ways on how to show stroke order. One way is to link to the image and the other way is to show it right on the table. We could also organize the table by having separate tables for every consonant group.

 * Xlbnushk 23:53, 17 November 2006 (UTC) -- Hey, good job! Now that you show me, I like the stroke order style. That's definitely a go. And the image approach resolves the display issues that the table was having with Japanese characters.

Balloonguy 21:51, 18 November 2006 (UTC) -- Were you planning on including all the kana on this page? The page would get very long if you did. Also by looking at the bottom of the page and Topic:Japanese, it seems that we are going to have a learning project for reading and writing, speaking and for culture, which is fine, but how are we going to interconnect these concepts? Also, how are we going to apply The Wikiversity model for online learning?

 * Xlbnushk 06:32, 19 November 2006 (UTC) -- We could create assignments for people to practice writing...and then have them scan their practice sheets, if possible? I could put together some PDF's where you would be given the romanization or the kana and would have to figure out its counterpart. Frankly, though, I don't see too much of that happening here in particular. When we get to, say, basic grammar, we could have people put sentences together. That would be much easier to coordinate; people write sentences, submit the documents.
 * It is very possible to scan hand sketches, drawings, or text and then upload the image in gif or jpg to Wikiversity. Use the upload file submenu under toolbox on left.  It is necessary to find the html to copy to rotate the image to proper orientation in the page.  Some of the complicated portals have an image rotated.  Mirwin 12:41, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Balloonguy 20:19, 19 November 2006 (UTC) -- I've thought about it and yes you are right, when people start learning kana, we can't really make a group thing come out of it. When we get more advanced we could ask them to come up with a collaborative story or something where each person adds on to the previous person's story.

 * Limetom 04:44, 23 December 2006 (UTC) -- Of course after forgetting to log in, I added in all the hiragana that were finished. It seems that the dakuten, hadakuten, and yoōn hiragana aren't finished yet.

 * Balloonguy 19:13, 23 December 2006 (UTC) -- Good job!

<IP_ADDRESS> 12:23, 29 December 2006 (UTC) -- THIS IS MY FIRST TIME IN WIKIVERSITY! I love this page, AWESOME welldone! Im afraid that japanese lessons are scarce here. But I now know every character! Beautiful illustration! --+I propose a pronounciation guide, a la "Living Language Japanese Coursebook [The Basics]"+-=

Limetom 12:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC) -- Katakana are now up. As with hiragana, the dakuten, hadakuten, and yoōn kana are not yet done. I don't know who did/is doing them, but I'd be glad to finish if I could figure out how they did it (and assuming I can do what they did in Photoshop in GIMP...)

Go Away! Trinity Has Arrived in Eldorado

'Go Away! Trinity Has Arrived in Eldorado' (Scansati ... a Trinità arriva Eldorado) is a comedic Spaghetti Western from 1972. It is one of the first of various "Trinity" films inspired by the earlier They Call Me Trinity and Trinity Is Still My Name.

Plot and title
Jonathan Duke, a con man, and his partner Sebastian Carter make a living travelling the country and selling a dubious "Elixir of Long Life" - a scheme that is in the end exposed by an elderly man. Next, the two try to trick people at poker, but the plan ends badly in a saloon brawl.

After these two introductory scenes, the main plot of the film starts. Duke and Carter plan to team up with Ringo Jones and his band to rob the crazy Mexican general Eldorado, who believes he is a god and sits on a golden thrown flanked by two servant girls, of his gold treasure. Duke does so successfully by dazzling Eldorado with magic tricks, then overcoming him in a fencing duel and tying him up.

The film's English title notwithstanding, "Trinity" is the name of a town, not a person, and the Italian title more accurately reflects the film's plot.

Cast
• Stan Cooper as Sebastian Carter

• Gordon Mitchell as Jonathan Duke III

• Craig Hill as Eldorado

• Custer Gail as Ringo Jones

• Daniela Giordano as Juanita

• Luciano Conti

• Carla Mancini

• Anthony G. Stanton

• Anna Lina Alberti as Pussy

• Paul Crain

• Dennis Colt

• Xiro Papas as Wedding guest

• Erika Blanc as Ragazza messicana alla festa

Production
The film was shot at Gordon Mitchell's western village at Manziana.

As to the length of the shoot, D'Amato gives two conflicting statements: In an interview published in print in 1996, D'Amato recalled it had lasted six days, whereas in a video interview conducted in 1998, he said it had taken three days. Diego Spataro, however, stated to "Nocturno" that it had lasted four and a half days. Spataro also remembered the anecdote that as soon as shooting had closed, D'Amato had said, "Tell the cook to throw in the spaghetti" ("Avverti la cuoca di buttare gli spaghetti").

Directorial credit
Sources disagree as to the identity of the film's director. The credited name, Dick Spitfire, is a pseudonym for Diego Spataro, a name that had also been used for an earlier film, Django and Sartana Are Coming... It's the End.

In his 1992 book on Spaghetti Westerns, Thomas Weisser assumes that the name is a pseudonym for director Demofilo Fidani and, consequently, states that Fidani was director for both Django and Go Away! However, Weisser cites no additional evidence other than the similarity of the two films' treatment of humor with that seen in other Fidani films.

In an interview published in 1996, Joe D'Amato said that Go Away! was the first film he directed and that he shot it in six days with the help of assistant director Romano Gastaldi. He also acknowledged that the official director's credit went to Spataro, and not to him. In another interview some two years later, D'Amato elaborated on this point, stating that he had not wanted to receive directorial credit because he had feared that, once he had worked as a director, other directors would have been hesitant to hire him as a cinematographer. D'Amato further recalled that Spataro, who had made many Spaghetti Westerns with Fidani, had plenty of stock footage from those films, and that some of it was used in editing Go Away!.

In his 1999 book on Italian cult films, Marco Giusti cites an interview with Diego Spataro in which Spataro recalled that D'Amato initially had wanted him to act as a puppet ("pupazzo"): D'Amato would give him the information he was then to pass on the actors so they would know in which way to act; after 10 minutes, however, D'Amato became aware of the absurdity of the situation and took charge himself. Giusti therefore attributes the direction of the film to D'Amato, and states that Fidani, for whom D'Amato had often worked as a camera operator, was involved as a producer.

In his book on Spaghetti Westerns published in 2002, film historian Ulrich Bruckner describes Go Away! as a collaboration between Spataro, Fidani and D'Amato. He credits all three as directors of the film.

The motorbike gag
One of the film's comic effects is Eldorado's horse, which has motorbike mirrors attached to it. When Eldorado arrives at an oat vendor, he asks him to "fill it up with super" ("Fammi il pieno di super!").

Reception
In a contemporaneous review of the film, La Révue du Cinéma deplored mistakes in chronology, chaotic editing and lack of talent in storytelling, but at the same time recognized its quirky humour. More recently (2002), Ulrich Bruckner found it to be among the better collaborations of D'Amato, Fidani and Spataro. In his 2004 book on Joe D'Amato, Gordiano Lupi thinks that Go Away!, in contrast to the western A Bounty Killer in Trinity which D'Amato is also said to have directed, contains ingenious ideas that to Lupi are the hallmark of D'Amato's involvement. Lupi thinks that the film's best moments are its comic or "trashy" scenes, whereas he criticizes what he calls the "structural" parts: lengthy chases, laborious ambushes, endless, predictable shootouts and unrealistic brawls. To Lupi, the film is discontinuous and "loses itself" towards the end when it seems the director did not known where he wanted to end up. Still, Lupi applauds the last scene in which the Duke puts a hand of five aces on the table, calling it - in the Italian version - a "superpokermaggiore" (translated: "a major superpoker").

Control systems/Open loop systems

In control systems, systems are classified into two groups:
 * Open loop systems,
 * Closed loop systems.

Open loop systems are systems in which the output of a system is not used as a variable to control the system.

Open loop control systems use the input variables to calculate the output based on the "open loop transfer function" of the system. The output is not fedback to modify the controlled output. There are many reasons to use open loop control such as simplifying the control system, quicker response of the system, to reduce the possiblility of oscillation and sometimes to lower cost.

An example of the use of open loop transfer function in control system is in the control of the wing surfaces on a modern figther plane. The closed loop implenmentaion would make the control much slower (cost is clearly not an issue in this example).

There are very good references for the fundamentals on the main wikipedia.org site such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_function

Note for moderators, the statements below are incorrect. Open loop systems are systems in which input to the system is not controlled by the present output.

In open loop systems, problems are solved by trying to avoid them in the first place, ie., by good design.

 * No, matrix multiplication is noncommutative. AB != BA. It stems from the definition of matrices representing systems of equations, and is a bit complex to quickly explain here. If you like, pick two matrices, multiply them in the "two-finger" method (not sure if this nifty method is explained here), and then change the order. You might not get the same answer. Dysprosia 12:15, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)

 * As for why we use that definition, being noncommutative is very useful. It happens a lot in real problems. E.g rotate a book 90 degrees round a vertical axis then 90 degrees round an horizontal axis and it'll end up differently orientated to if you spin it roun the horizontal axis before the vertical. When you rotate things, order matters, so rotation is not commutative. We need non-commutating matrices to describe it, and many other physically interesting systems. Carandol

 * Or that a matrix represents a linear transformation, and that performing one transform before another is not necessarily the same as doing it in the other order. Dysprosia 12:39, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)

problem with exercises
I have found a problem with exercise 4 in the exercises section after the text about multiplication of diagonal matrices. It seems to me that the multiplication of the two matrices should be reversed eg instead of c*b what is is now, it should be b*c. Otherwise this equation isn't usefull for the e and f part of the exercise.

The A defined in the equation in the d part of the exercise isn't the same A as defined in the a part of the exercise, as you can see below:

\begin{pmatrix} 3&1\\ 1&1\\ \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 3&0\\ 0&1\\ \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{2}&-\frac{1}{2}\\ -\frac{1}{2}&\frac{3}{2}\\ \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 4&-3\\ 1&0\\ \end{pmatrix} $$ Mmartin 21:33, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * My mistake, thanks for pointing it out. It's been fixed Xiaodai 14:25, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Update to consistency
Need to change the vectors to have arrows on them, just to be consistency. This is a reminder that i should do that. Xiaodai 12:48, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Cofactor Expansion
Shouldn't you talk about cofactor expansion for finding the determinant of a matrix? Giving only the formula for a 2x2 matrix won't take readers very far. At the very least, give them the general method to find determinants using permutations.

Aqsis

Aqsis is a free rendering suite compliant with the RenderMan standard. It is available under the BSD, previously under GPL. Its main author and project manager is Paul Gregory.

The Aqsis project consists of a renderer, shader compiler and a few other supporting components. Like the original PRMan from Pixar, it is an implementation of the Reyes rendering algorithm, which is famous for its high speed and efficiency in handling even very large scenes, and has good support for displacement shaders. Like many other open source projects, Aqsis is hosted on SourceForge and is in continuous and active development.

Because of its Reyes heritage, Aqsis lacks some advanced global illumination features like ray tracing, although active efforts are underway to support some such features. Its current stable version is 1.8.2.

The MakeHuman project uses Aqsis to produce realistic renderings of the human body.

Need a source, obviously. Other points: the phrase "although no conductor wires are as of yet installed", besided being grammatically poor, is incorrect: there were certainly conductor wires up within the depot on 22 March 2014.

Jurassic Park?
When was Herrerasaurus in Jurassic Park? J. Spencer 04:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not on the list in the article for either the book or the film. I'll remove the cat. Dinoguy2 15:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

If you go to the website Park Pedia it shows an image with a map of the entire park, and Herrerasaurus is seen along with Baryonyx and Segisaurus, neither of which was given a proper appearance either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:26, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The web site is not the book, it's a separate entity that has no relation to the book other than being based around the same fictional story. MMartyniuk (talk) 12:47, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * On a computer screen in the original Jurassic Park you can see the different paddocks with the skull of each creature on it. You can see a Herrerasaurus skull. Might I also add, even if it's not canon, Jurassic Park: The Game features the Herrerasaurus heavily, and it's still based on the story of Jurassic Park. TheJawaManiac (talk) 19:46, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Size
The artical says 'It is estimated that Herrerasaurus could reach up to 15 feet (5 meters) in length. Some fossils indicate that Herrerasaurus could grow up to 3 meters in length and 1 meter in height.' .... it makes it sound as though 3m is larger or more spectacular than 5m ............which it isn't .... :)  ......... Also 15 feet isn't 5m its more like 4.6m. which size is it. ive hered 3m, 4.6m, 5m?Steveoc 86 18:58, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Head img
"Image:Herrerasaurus 2.jpg" has been bothering me as I look at it. I may be wrong, but most common reconstructions I've seen have had a more blunt snout- see the taxobox image, for example.

 * This one is pretty straightforward, except for the "is it a theropod/sauropodomorph/saurischian/dinosaur/basal nondinosaur" thing. J. Spencer 02:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I just added redlinks to the to-do; as far as I'm concerned, the box is pretty accurate as to what's left. J. Spencer 13:59, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Does the pop culture section include anything that the article would be worse off for not having? I was half-inclined to get rid of it (at least the video-game stuff). The wording is awkward at any rate; it hasn't done much in pop culture because it has only been really well-known since Sereno's work, not because it's from the Triassic. J.

 * Okay, here it is in case anyone want to look it over again:
 * Herrerasaurus is not as well known to paleontologists and the general public as other dinosaurs. However one fossilized specimen of Herrerasaurus, originally found in the Patagonia region of Argentina, is displayed at the Chicago Field Museum of Natural History. This is in part due to the age of the fossils: Herrerasaurus lived in the Triassic, before most other dinosaurs existed. Fossils of Herrerasaurus were not described until 1963, and until recently, this genus remained relatively unknown to the general public. As a result, its appearances in popular culture have been limited. However, Herrerasaurus does appear in several recent video games. Among these are the Zoo Tycoon and Jurassic Park game franchises. J. Spencer 18:03, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Classification: The only parts of this article that I think are not straightforward and clear are those dealing with classification, particularly the third paragraph under History. One concern is that Langer (2004) and Benton and Langer (2006) actually find the basal saurischian position to be most parsimonious, which is shared with the recent Dromomeron paper (which oddly omits Eoraptor). J. Spencer 02:40, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Wrap-up
Going forward, there are still five redlinks, a couple of places for citations, and the usual need for copyediting. The needed citations and redlinks would keep it from a GA, but I think that with the cites and two or three of the redlinks filled in, it could pass. J. Spencer 00:42, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

 * cladogram anyone....good idea or straying into OR? Or just a graphic representation of existing hypotheses...cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 08:12, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

GA Pass
This article easily meets the GA criteria. It is very readable. The coverage of the topic is very good. I particularly enjoyed the NPOV discussion of the history of the classification debate, which is what makes this such an interesting animal. The research for the paleobiology and paleoecology sections was also impressive. The images are good, but you might want to select a larger size than the standard thumb size for the image accompaning the classification section. It is a nice image but you can hardly make it out. I am hard pressed to come up with many other suggestions to improve the article, but I would suggest getting rid of the red links. The are distracting If you don't plan to create the article yourself in the next few weeks just de-link the names. You can always add a link back if someone someday creates the appropriate article. Rusty Cashman 06:09, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

If you have further suggestions for article improvement, please do not hesitate to speak up. Thanks again, Firsfron of Ronchester  04:15, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Head size
Not sure what is meant by "up to at least". If this was a single specimen, shouldn't a single measurement be known for the head size? Perhaps the intent is that the heads of these guys varied, with a range of (what least estimated size? up to 56 cm in the large specimen, and possibly more in as-yet-undiscovered specimens. Let me know what info is known about the range of sizes. If this is the only head specimen, then that would need to be stated accordingly (plus whatever ranges might be estimated, if any.) Or perhaps, "measured up to as much as 56 cm, the measurement of one large..." Existing wording is unclear. Thanks.
 * "Its head measured up to at least 56 centimeters (1.8 ft) long, in a large specimen... "
 * DinoData has a translation of the original paper on Frenguellisaurus, which explicitly states the skull was 56 cm. Firsfron of Ronchester  03:01, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

 * But it also names the specimen, not as a Herrerasaurus, but as:

Systematics

Frenguellisaurus gen. nov.

Etymology

In honor of Dr. Joaquín Frenguelli, who realized an important paleontological and geological work in the Triassic Ischigualasto-Villa Unión Valley.

Typespecies

Frenguellisaurus ischigualastensis.

 * This specimen is compared to a number of other species, including Herrerasaurus. On my reading, the head measurement does not belong to the article's subject at all and should be deleted. Please review the source document and see if you reach the same conclusion. Other editors, also please do so. Thanks, Unimaginative Username 06:03, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Frenguellisaurus is a junior synonym: it has been considered the same genus as Herrerasaurus since the 1990s. Firsfron of Ronchester  06:18, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Have you a source for that statement? Should the article mention such synonyms? I'm not a saurophile (sic), so not familiar with the technical standards for such articles. However, if another lay reader, like this one, were to check the source, they might feel the same confusion. Just food for thought. Unimaginative Username 21:06, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The statement is already in the article, with sources: "Reig named a second dinosaur from these rocks in the same publication as Herrerasaurus;[1] this dinosaur, Ischisaurus cattoi, is now considered a junior synonym and a juvenile of Herrerasaurus.[8] Two other partial skeletons, with skull material, were named Frenguellisaurus ischigualastensis by Fernando Novas in 1986,[21] but this species too is now thought to be a synonym.[8]" Firsfron of Ronchester  01:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for clarifying. My failure to notice that was partly due to to the habit of proofreading for grammar, punctuation, etc. without really "reading" the article, just as a stenographer can take dictation faster if writing or typing without trying to understand what's being said. Also due to copy-editing a paragraph or a few sentences at a time, revising, do a few more, etc. Sorry to have taken up your extra time. In atonement, I've revised the entire paragraph on physical characteristics for what I perceive as both clarity and smooth readability. Take a look, see how you like it now, and let me know.

Synapomorphies

 * "However, only one cranial and seven postcranial synapomorphies are actually supported by the study of Herrerasaurus, and new additional ones were discovered.[3]" The meaning of the last phrase is not clear to me. Aside from the fact that "new additional" is redundant, which can be fixed easily, the main thrust of the sentence is an "only": "... only one X and seven Y", so the phrase "and new ones discovered" (showing additional) does not mesh with the "only" part (perhaps should be "but new ones were discoverd"). Also, does "ones" refer to "new fossils found" or to "new synapomorphies found"? I don't know the facts. If you can specify these, I'll re-write the sentence appropriately. Unimaginative Username (talk) 11:14, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what this was supposed to mean. Firsfron of Ronchester  02:52, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The source appears not to be available online. Most likely is to delete the last phrase, but it would be better if someone could read the source and provide the correct info. No further action from this editor otherwise. Unimaginative Username 05:31, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Pardon my denseness, but I'm still not getting it. Current revision: ''The monophyly of dinosaurs was explicitly proposed in the 1970s by Bakker,[37][38] and nine cranial and about fifty postcranial synapomorphies (common anatomical traits derived from the common ancestor) have been listed. However, an extensive study of Herrerasaurus by Sereno indicates that only one cranial and seven postcranial synapomorphies in Bakker's original list are actually supported while additional synapomorphies were discovered.[3]''

From a base of zero knowledge, here's what I get:
 * 1) Bakker says they're mono.
 * 2) Bakker (at least, I think it's Bakker; passive voice makes it uncertain) lists 9+50 synaps.
 * 3) Sereno looks closely and can verify only 1+7 of Bakker's list of synaps.
 * 4) ? Now I'm lost. while additional synapomorphies were discovered. Additional synaps have been discovered, but not verified? Kindly spell out in very simple terms what's going on with the synaps since Sereno's study, and then we'll worry about forming it into brilliant prose. Also, whether the original proposed 9+50 were exclusively Bakker's, or others contributed to the list after Bakker proposed the mono hypothesis. Thanks, Unimaginative Username 04:16, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Still needs to be addressed for clarity. Unimaginative Username (talk) 06:08, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Herbivores vs. carnivores

 * "Herbivores were much more abundant than carnivores .... They were much more abundant than early ornithischian dinosaurs like Pisanosaurus." But the article on Ornithischia says that they too were herbivores. So, we have "herbivores were more abundant than herbivores" (in effect). Should it be that this particular dinosaur (the subject of the article) was more abundant than this particular herbivore (Pisanosaurus)? Again, advise the facts, and I'll revise. Thanks. Unimaginative Username (talk) 11:20, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I think the writer was trying to state that herbivorous non-dinosaurs were more abundant than ornithischians (which were also herbivorous). Firsfron of Ronchester  02:45, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I have little knowledge of this topic. Following aetosaur/archosaur/dinosaur got a little bit circular for this user. Perhaps the distinction was specifically to the beaked, or bird-like, ornithischians? (Non-beaked > beaked) As above, best practice would be for an involved editor to check the source and edit accordingly. If I can be of any help in revising according to whatever is found there, let me know. Unimaginative Username 05:48, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * UI, it is really great having someone unfamiliar with the material going over this article. After all, the article is supposed to be written for people who are unfamiliar with the material, so if something is unclear, it should be made clear. I'm really glad you are pointing out everything which needs clarifying.
 * The ornithischians are "bird-hipped" dinosaurs, but, aside from the presence of beaks in many of them, they aren't particularly birdlike otherwise: the saurischian ("lizard-hipped") dinosaurs are the ones which gave rise to the birds. I'm not exactly sure what this sentence was supposed to mean. I think I will ask the original author of that area for clarification.
 * Once again, I appreciate your patience and all your work on this article. Firsfron of Ronchester  03:10, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Your first paragraph was my POV of copy-editing in a nutshell. Well said! :) Agree with asking the original author. Let me know if I can be of help with the appropriate revision when the facts are in. Unimaginative Username 07:31, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've added some clarifications to the two litigious sentences. Let me know if they make sense now. Cheers. ArthurWeasley 16:46, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's much clearer now. Except... and therefore more likely prey to Herrerasaurus than the early dinosaurs.. I'm guessing that what was meant was "and therefore more likely to fall prey to Herrerasaurus than the early dinosaurs", since H. was a meat-eater. Or "more likely prey for H." Probably not "pray to Herrerasaurus (not to eat them)". Are either of these correct statements? Unimaginative Username 03:50, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Prey for Herrerasaurus. Definitely not "Pray to Herrerasaurus. All praise the mighty Herrerasaurus; praise him with great praise. :) Firsfron of Ronchester  05:19, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅, with an additional disambiguating "were" added, in accord with Murphy's Law of Copy-Editing: "If any phrase can possibly be interpreted incorrectly, it will be". "more likely prey for H. than the early dinosaurs would be", as opposed to misreading "more likely prey for H. than they would be for the early dinosarus". (Yes, I know that H. was one of the early dinosaurs, but the policy is "Lead the reader by the nose to the correct meaning, and take no prisoners!") p. s.

Paleoecology
I'm working on revising the article for grammar, style, clarity, et cetera, but I'm unsure about what to do with the Paleoecology section. I'll start with the first paragraph and hopefully other interested folks (I know they exist) can help.

 * Current first paragraph:
 * Although Herrerasaurus shared the body shape of the large carnivorous dinosaurs, it lived about 230 million years ago, a time when dinosaurs were small and insignificant. It was the time of non-dinosaurian reptiles, not dinosaurs, and a major turning point in the Earth's ecology. The vertebrate fauna of the Ischigualasto Formation and the slightly later Los Colorados Formation consisted mainly of a variety of crurotarsal archosaurs and synapsids. For instance, in the Ischigualasto Formation, dinosaurs constituted only about 6% of the total number of fossils. By the end of the Triassic Period, dinosaurs were becoming the dominant large land animals, and the other archosaurs and synapsids declined in variety and number.

 * My picking apart of it:
 * Although Herrerasaurus shared the body shape of the large carnivorous dinosaurs, it lived about 230 million years ago, when dinosaurs were (generally? was H a dinosaur?) (quantify how small) and the [large animal ecological roles were played by non-dinosaurian reptiles (I just made this up, but something has to change to indicate what "time of the non-dinosaurian reptiles" means)]. The vertebrate fauna of the Ischigualasto Formation and the slightly later Los Colorados Formation consisted mainly of a variety of crurotarsal archosaurs and synapsids. In the Ischigualasto Formation, dinosaurs constituted only about 6% of the total number of fossils.

 * (This seems more in line with the "major turning point" sentence that I removed, but seems to be on a different topic entirely than the rest of the paragraph.) By the end of the Triassic Period, dinosaurs were becoming the dominant large land animals, and the other archosaurs and synapsids declined in variety and number.

Awickert (talk) 16:30, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Herrerasaurus may have been a dinosaur, as more recent papers indicate, but any new paper could invalidate that. Whatever it was, it was close to the ancestry of dinosaurs. It lived during a time when dinosaurs were uncommon (only 6%), but just a few million years later, dinosaurs were the dominant land animals. Herrerasaurus and other early links, then, play a very important part in this turning point... if Herrerasaurus was actually on the line to Dinosauria.

 * We probably can't very well quantify the size of dinosaurs from this time, since nearly all fossils collected from this time are so fragmentary (Herrerasaurus is one of the best, hence the FAC work; I wouldn't bother with trying to get the silly single-bone genera up to FA), and no one can decide even on what Herrerasaurus was. I'd love to give you a number, but it would be based on partial scraps and a "dinosaur" that may not have been one, but which probably was.

 * Does this help? Probably not... :/ Firsfron of Ronchester  02:15, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

 * That definitely helps for my knowledge. I made paranthetical comments about things that I was unsure about factually, but the main thing I was trying to get across was a more logical writing order. So what do you think about that in my suggested version? Awickert (talk) 02:37, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, it seems fine, as long as the "large animal ecological roles were played by non-dinosaurian reptiles " is worded carefully. It is correct, though. Firsfron of Ronchester  04:08, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * OK; if you can police the factual accuracy, then I will start to propose more final revisions; it's just kind of confusiong to me as-is. Awickert (talk) 04:16, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Although this article achieved FA, I'm still very open to suggestions for further improvement. I appreciate the time you've spent working to clarify things, Awickert. You should be aware, however, that I will be going on a Wikibreak after tomorrow, and won't be back (much or at all) until the 10th, due to a vacation. J Spencer might be able to help, though (I know this talk page is on his watchlist). Firsfron of Ronchester  01:23, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll check things. J. Spencer (talk) 02:35, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Congrats on the FA. I will also be around and not around variably over the next couple weeks, and since you're not in FAC-time-crunch anymore, I might take a bit longer. Congratulations again, Awickert (talk) 18:17, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Theropod?
The article states that Herrerasaurus was a theropod. Isn't this inaccurate? Isn't it a sauropod ancestor, the sole member of a third suborder of saurischians or a dinosaur too primitive to be classed as a saurischian or an ornithischian? I swear that one of those is correct...<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:16, 7 June 2011 (UTC)Adam<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:16, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * All of those classifications have been supported in the past, but all recent studies I know of have found it to be a true theropod. MMartyniuk (talk) 11:58, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, the Ezcurra (2010) study that you added indicates that Herrerasaurus isn't a theropod. However, this article is very careful to state many times that Herrerasaurus may not be a theropod. From the lede: "Herrerasaurus has been classified as either an early theropod or an early saurischian". From the "Classification" section: "Where it and its close relatives lie on the early dinosaur evolutionary tree is unclear. They are possibly basal theropods or basal saurischians but may in fact predate the saurischian-ornithischian split." I'd say this article does not state that Herrerasaurus was a theropod. The only part of the article that does is the automated taxobox thingy. Firsfron of Ronchester  15:02, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, forgot about Ezcurra. Still, I'd say that at least a tentative consensus exists in the lit right not that Herrersaurus is a theropod. Even the addition of taxa like Tawa in Nesbitt 2011 (probably the most through analysis ever of basal taxa in each archosaurian lineage) don't shake it from it's standard position, though it does seem to render Herrersauridae paraphyletic. MMartyniuk (talk) 16:38, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I haven't been keeping up on Herrerasaurid phylogeny since this article's FAC, but I just did a quick check at the Paleobiology Database, and Nesbitt et al (2009) indicate that Herrerasaurids are theropods. Alcober and Martínez (2010) seem to have made no opinion(?) while still describing Sanjuansaurus as a herrerasaurid. Holtz (2010) states that they are the most primitive theropods. And of course most of (not all, but most) the 2004-2008 studies state the same. Ezcurra seems to be a minority opinion. Firsfron of Ronchester  17:25, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

For practical purposes, I would suggest putting a question mark next to Theropoda in the taxobox.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:36, 9 June 2011 (UTC)Adam<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:36, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

P Ward Out Of Thin Air page 169, 170 proposes Herrersaurus as the proginator of both lines --saurischians and ornithischian--that split at the end of the Triassic. This is interesting as he links low O2 to bipedalism overcoming Carrier's Constraint.

Mooted sighting of living Herrerasaurus
See details in section 3 of webpage http://creation.com/more-dino-sightings-png

Andrew Lamb, CMI <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:00, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * "A distinctive footprint of the ‘Doren’, which is described as being about 25cm long, is often seen in the sand by the sea. When walking, the ‘Doren’ uses four legs. However, when running the creature is reported as using rear legs only and as being able to outrun a human. It seems from the descriptions that the ‘Doren’ might be best identified as a Herrerasaurus."
 * Nope, that certainly doesn't sound anything at all like this strictly bipedal, six metre long animal. FunkMonk (talk) 05:35, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

its on a website that supports creationism as a science rather than a matter of faith, so its likely a fake and second it does not sound like a Herrerasaurus at all, either the people that made this don't understand that dinosaurs could not pronate their hands or they somehow confused Herrerasaurus with Ornithosuchus, it might be a misidentification of a Varanid or a Crocodilian--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:02, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

?Ladinian? Herrerasaurus
Our lead paragraph boldly declares:

All known fossils of this carnivorous dinosaur have been discovered in rocks of late Ladinian age (middle Triassic according to the ICS, dated to 231.4 million years ago) in northwestern Argentina.

However, our Carnian Wikipedia Article tells us that this faunal stage lasted from about ~235 till ~228 million years ago.

If the Carnian article is accurate, then Herrerasaurus is Carnian in terms of age. I will make the change unless there are any objections. As always, I welcome your advice and allow for the possibility that I may have overlooked or oversimplified something.

Novas
This link goes to the wrong place. Does it mean Fernando Novas? Colonies Chris (talk) 19:53, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

Age
There seems to be some confusion about the age. The article states that this animal is dated to 231.4 Ma ago, and also that it's from the Ladinian. Accordning to the ICS, 231.4 Ma ago is within the Carnian. What's the correct age/faunal stage? MMartyniuk (talk) 11:39, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Probably all that happened was that the radiometric date predates the revision of Triassic stage dates (i.e. we had the 231.4 Ma date from a few years back, when 231.4 Ma was in the Ladinian, and it was just never updated when the stage boundaries were tweaked).

Taxobox Image
In the taxobox image, would it be better to just have the image we have right now, or is it better to have an image of this mount and the model nearby?BleachedRice (talk) 23:39, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, we can't use the model because it is a sculpture in the US, which does not have freedom of panorama for art. As for the other image you added previously, the hands are pronated, rotated in an inaccurate way. FunkMonk (talk) 23:49, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

I've uploaded two photos of the FMNH Herrerasaurus to Commons, and I propose that one or the other can replace the current taxobox image. Our current taxobox image has too much of a focus on the skull, blurring out the rest of the body. I propose either of these two images(Option A and Option B) to take its spot, as both have a much better focus on the postcrania and the skull, instead of just the skull exclusively. We should try to show the entire body as good as we can. Would be nice to hear second opinions on this. Morosaurus shinyae (talk) 22:23, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

 * I would vote in support of option B.  Luso titan  (Talk | Contributions) 22:35, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I like B as well. IJReid { {T - C - D - R} } 22:42, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Option B, it has a better crop/composition; the first one also has a flash of light visible through the ribcage, which is a bit distracting. ▼PσlєοGєєк  ƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼  22:52, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Was a bit late to the game here, but yeah, certainly has better contrast. FunkMonk (talk) 05:46, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

 * The current image added by is problematic because it shows at least one pronated hand, so we should probably use the older one. FunkMonk (talk) 19:29, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Another thing is that the image caption says "mounted skeleton", and while it does refer to the larger one, there is also the Asilisaurus (I think) skeleton near it, and that skeleton is also a "mounted skeleton". Jurassic Classic 767  (talk | contribs) 15:48, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I wonder which other good contenders we have? Out best other photos are of that same mount, and the best other one shows a weird perspective (it was the previous taxobox image): FunkMonk (talk) 19:22, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * How about this one? I don't know much about the animal's anatomy, so I can't really say if the skeleton's accurate.  Jurassic Classic 767  (talk | contribs) 20:09, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The right hand is also pronated ("bunny hand"), so is inaccurate... FunkMonk (talk) 20:16, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hm, but the image you showed above is already in the article though.

 * I've also found this one while searching for images (it's the Field Museum mount but without showing the hands). Though I think a full skeletal mount is still preferred.  Jurassic Classic 767  (talk | contribs) 20:33, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, it's just very small and tightly cropped. We can just move that image which is already used in the article, if we agree on it. FunkMonk (talk) 20:46, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No prob on moving it. So the image above would be the replacement in the history section then? Jurassic Classic 767  (talk | contribs) 20:51, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily, I don't even know why that other picture is under history. A better image there would be of the original fossils or a map, or a skeletal showing known elements. FunkMonk (talk) 21:05, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Moved it to taxobox. Jurassic Classic 767  (talk | contribs) 21:44, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

User:Nihonjoe/Living Game

Living Game (りびんぐゲーム) is a seinen romantic comedy manga by Mochiru Hoshisato, originally published in Big Comic Spirits between October 1990 and April 1993. The series examines some of the absurd effects of the rampant real estate speculation brought about in Japan in the late 1980s and the subsequent recession in the early 1990s.

Story
Raizo Fuwa is a 25-year-old salaryman living in a cramped home and working in a crowded office in Tokyo. On the day his company, Namifuku, is supposed to move into a new office building, the office building is condemned due to the construction company cutting corners during construction. Since the office Namifuku was in has already been leased to another company, they have to quickly find a new location. Unable to find one quickly, they move into Raizo's flat "on a temporary basis".

To further complicate matters, the company has a young, new employee: Izumi Hiyama, a high school dropout the boss has promised to take care of as a favour to her family. Since no landlords are willing to rent to a 15-year-old girl, the boss asks that she be allowed to live with Raizo. Raizo is instructed to be Izumi's "[[senpai]" (or senior) both in terms of work experience and age. He begins to develop a close relationship with Izumi, and very early on in the series, Izumi admits that she has fallen in love with him. However, he does not respond initially, feeling that he should be more responsible and should first achieve his dream of buying (or—as suggested midway through the series—designing and constructing) a spacious home to call his own. Both Izumi and Raizo struggle with their own maturity and very small network of relationships, and the 10-year difference in their age is eventually dismissed as an unimportant factor in their romantic relationship.

Main characters

 * Raizo Fuwa (不破 雷蔵)
 * The 25-year-old main character, born 22 February 1965. He is a reckless and irresponsible person. He lives in a very cramped apartment. His life started to change from this point, he had to give up his own room in apartment to be used as a temporary office and then he had to live together with Hiyama Izumi a 15-year-old girl that his company hired. He thinks like he was in some kind of hell to live with a girl 10 years younger, he must able to control his every desire as an adult. There were times that he couldn't control his desire anymore, but luckily there were always breaks that stopped him from doing anything to Izumi. He has a dream that he can have his own house, but he knows that such things were only a mere dream, but his passions never run out. With the help of Izumi he lived his life to the fullest.

 * Izumi Hiyama (氷山一角)
 * The inexperienced 15-year-old second main character, born 30 March 1975, who moved from Shimane Prefecture to Tokyo to find work. She develops a romantic relationship with Raizo. The two of them ultimately help the other realize their dream.

Employees of Namifuku
These are employees of Namifuku DM Service (ナミフクDMサービス), the company at which both main characters work at the beginning of the manga.
 * President (社長)

 * Nanba (難波)
 * A graphic designer at the company, age unknown. She's always bossing around Raizo despite the office being Raizo's home, and is therefore always arguing with him. She smokes and always wears sunglasses (even indoors).

 * Tsugio Isseki (一石次男)
 * A sales and marketing employee at the company, born in 1961. Wears glasses. Got married after pretending to be Raizo on a matchmaking date.

 * Senri (千里)
 * An accountant at the company, born in 1949. Wears glasses.

Raizo's acquaintances

 * Tokiko Kanemori (兼森時子)
 * Raizo's former girlfriend, the same age as Raizo. They had been living together and planning to get married, but she left when Raizo abandoned his plans to become a potter. She later got married to someone else, though she crashes at Raizo's apartment whenever she has a fight with her husband. She's an excellent housekeeper and teaches Izumi how to take care of housework.

 * Mitsuo Kanemori (兼森万夫)
 * Tokiko's husband, 38 years old at the beginning of the series, and owner of Kanemori Development, a construction company. He spends a lot of time at work, though he dotes on Tokiko and sometimes treats her as a child due to their age difference. His actions sometimes cause he and his wife to fight. He was previously going out with Sachiko Ishibashi, but they broke up due to their age difference and Mitsuo met and married Tokiko. They meet again after one of the times Tokiko runs away due to a fight.

 * Komada (駒田)
 * Kanemori's secretary at Kanemori Development. She loves Mitsuo's resourcefulness and stays with the company through thick and thin. Mitsuo highly values her skills. She doesn't speak much, but when it's important, she speaks clearly.

 * Yasunobu Tanokura (田之倉康伸)
 * An older man who works a side job with Namifuku doing direct mail campaigns.

Izumi's acquaintances

 * Naoki Hiyama (氷山直樹)
 * Izumi's father. He runs Hiyama Clinic, a medical clinic in Shimane Prefecture. He had planned on Izumi taking over his practice when he retired, and had been training her to do that. After he remarried, he decided that Yūta would be the one to take over, which angered Izumi and caused her grades to worsen.

 * Izumi's stepmother (いずみの継母)
 * Married Izumi's father and treats Izumi well. She and the president of Namifuku are close friends and she entrusted Izumi to his care after Izumi dropped out of high school.

 * Yūta Hiyama (氷山勇太)
 * Izumi's 6-year-old half-brother. He had a different mother than Izumi.

 * Fukunaga (福永)
 * Attended junior high school with Izumi in the same year. Has a bit of a complex regarding his super-talented older bother and sister. When Izumi ran away from home, he went with her to a hotel.

Others

 * Sachiko Ishibashi (石橋幸子)
 * Mitsuo Kanemori's former girlfriend, prior to his meeting Tokiko.

Hmm, is this a global template? I am having difficulties with it and I am not sure if I can change it.--Juan 15:34, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Accuracy
someone has vandalized the page, it states that the e36 was sold from 456 BC to 1999. I am not a wikipedian someone change that please.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:31, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

According to the owners manual of my 1995 318i some of the information on the page is wrong. Im no expert on editing though, so i will refrain from editing

I agree with this ^^^ on my '97 318i, the engine is a 1.9L DOHC with 138hp, it seems that a lot of the engine specifications are wrong —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:43, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

^^with regards to your '97 318i 1.9L DOHC producing 138hp, US 318i models were fitted with the M42/M44 engines, as the M40/M43 was thought too slow for the US market. Maybe there should be some reference to the US 318i in the tables.

Years
I'm not an expert, but seeing as a goal is to keep Wikipedia international, shouldn't the year of production reflect that?

Text dump
I copied the relevant section from the BMW 3 Series article, because it seemed to contain information not mentioned here. There may be some redundancies, so please feel free to edit/cleanup. Cheers, FashionNugget (talk) 03:56, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

The E36 experienced enormous success in the market. It laid strong foundations for the success that the BMW E46 experienced in subsequent years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:38, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Info Box Picture
The info box picture, while stunning, includes a car that has been modified and no longer has factory-original wheels. I suggest this photo be replaced with one that represents the car as it was shipped from the factory. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 10:30, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

NOTE: The above comment is incorrect. The wheels are OEM BMW Style 32 as available as a dealer-fit option for brand new E36 models. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:25, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Non US models.
Why? would it not make sense to be 'International models' as its a german car? Changing it now (<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:16, 3 July 2009 (UTC))

OBD I versus OBD II models
Good page, but I am wondering if there should be some mention of the switch, halfway through the production run, from the OBD I models to OBD II (On Board Diagnostics, versions I and II).

OBD II was the impetus for the swicth to the 2.8 liter engine from the 2.5 and the 1.9 from the 1.8 (and the introduction of the 323 model with the 2.5 liter six). The cars also incorporated a number of other changes as well. From the exterior, the most noticable difference is the lower body molding is painted body color, instead of black (or dark grey) on the earlier cars.

I think with the cabrios, the OBD II saw the introduction of the full auto top as well.

Although a number of OBD I body and interior parts fit the OBD II cars, they really are different beasts when you get into the mechanicals. Hardly anything swaps electrically or in the engine compartment between OBD I and OBD II.

Perhaps it is not a big deal, but it helps put the 1996 engine changes in context.

VANOS
The engines fitted with VANOS were given a unique designation. The VANOS equipped M50 was known as the M50TU-B25. I personally think that this should be reflected in the tables. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:48, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

dimensions
what are the exact dimensions of the inside of the E36 coupe ? thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:28, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

E36 Designer
It seems that earlier this year, a user by the name User:Laipii came and re-edited a lot of the design section. The person that did this, must be no other thanPinky Lai who worked for numerous companies as a designer and is responsible for the E36 design concept back in 1986-87. For some reason, when he left BMW in January 1989, it affected credit for the body design upon launch in late 1990 and most sources do not formally list him, but that of Boyke Boyer or Joji Nagashima (arrived at BMW in 1988).---Carmaker1 (talk) 11:25, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Infobox
Hi Vauxford. The images "1994-96 BMW 320i sedan (Australia).jpg" or "BMW e36c (cropped).jpg" show a car in better condition and with a less busy background than "1992 BMW 320i<PHONE_NUMBER>6) (cropped).jpg". Therefore I think they are a better choice for the lead image. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 23:28, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * The current image is fine and won't be changed, If you continue to change it I'll have the article protected so no one can edit it. – Davey 2010 Talk 17:50, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Given that three editors (including me) have recently preferred a different image, just saying that it is fine isn't enough. Also, why do think this warrants protecting the article so that no-one can edit it? Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 21:05, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi Davey2010. Again you have reverted my edit without providing a reason, which goes against WP:CONS. Please see the reasons above for why I think the other images are more appropriate. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 21:18, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Just because you said "three editors (including me) have recently preferred a different image" doesn't mean we had reached a consensus. This basically a RfC and because nobody else except you is saying that there should be a different image, the previous one stay. --Vauxford (talk) 23:17, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Could you please send me a link to the RfC? I didn't realise there was one. Wikipedia doesn't solve disagreements by counting votes, and it seems that no-one has given any reason why the pic of the red car is better. Also, I find it quite disrespectful that everyone ignored my attempt to create a Talk Page discussion, until the picture was changed in the article. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 08:15, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

 * this image is very reflective on the front left and then on the right it's too dark,
 * this image is the near same - reflective on the bonnet and darkish on the right, The blacked out numberplate is also poor,
 * Ofcourse I have faults with Vauxfords image however when replacing images here they should always be better than the one their replacing which unfortunately yours aren't. – Davey 2010 Talk 10:28, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Just to clarify, this isn't my own photo. --Vauxford (talk) 09:04, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, Sorry I should've been more clearer but yeah I know :), I was just saying as a whole your red image IMHO had fault but I considered yours the best and that when replacing images they should be better than the red one :), Thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 11:05, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi Davey, Thanks for the explanation. I don't think the shadowing is a point of difference, because the red photo has the same shadowing across the bonnet and windscreen as the grey photo. And even in the darker areas of the green photo, the body lines can still be seen, so I believe it is within Wikipedia guidelines. The blurred numberplate is not distracting and there is nothing mentioned in the guidelines about it. I'm not saying they are perfect, but I think they are more appropriate than the red photo (the green photo is good enough for lead image on the German wiki page...). Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 10:58, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Simon, Personally I disagree with your last sentiment but we'll have to agree to disagree, Cheers, – Davey 2010 Talk 11:05, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi Davey. The "last sentiment" is based on the red car being in poorer condition, an uncommon model and having a busy background. Those are things covered by the guidelines, so I don't think it's a question of opinion. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 21:25, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

 * I am not sure why you seem to be referring to the sedan being an uncommon model, they made 1,552,663 of them, more than all the other body styles combined. This should not really matter, and if you ask me the gray one is my favorite. Toasted Meter (talk) 22:05, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

 * The grey one could of been good if it weren't for the small resolution and the poorly blanked reg plate. I don't see any problem with the red one other then it shows it age, my honest advice that you should take the CARPIX guideline with a pinch of salt, there numerous problems and conflict with the document and has caused problems in the past which goes back way before I joined Wikipedia and users on here still don't seem to understand that CARPIX is NOT a official policy that you have to abide to. --Vauxford (talk) 22:23, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

 * The red car is by far the best illustration for this article, showing the car's shape without lots of shadows, weird angles, or other distractions. Sure, it's not glamorous, but that is of no import as Wikipedia is neither a fan page nor an advertising site. Best,  Mr.choppers |   ✎  04:09, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Fair enough. I see that no-one else prefers the grey or green photos. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 08:31, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi 1292simon,i agree with you.I just discover this discussion and also approuve your idea against the awful red car photo...Yes,it is certain that wikipedia mustn't be a glamorous place or an advert place for a car model.Neverthless,this red car photo is deeply impertinent,due to the rust and the worn-out rocker panels.As an anonymous wiki user,i won't let this unacceptable image represent the BMW E36.Salute. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:16, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It shows the shape of the car. Feel free to change it to a better quality illustration of the E36, but the Aussie photo is much worse. There must be a thousand photos of E36s out there with a free license. Now please stop this constant fruitless reverting.  Mr.choppers |   ✎  01:41, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

 * This IP has been blocked due to edit warring, especially when they stated they would continue using an IP account to edit war on the article. --Vauxford (talk) 12:58, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

 * IPs are plentiful... I just wanted to make clear that no one is in love with that particular photo, it could easily be replaced if something better comes along. Best,  Mr.choppers |   ✎  17:22, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi Mr.choppers! Thank you for your intervention."No one is in love with that particular photo",no one indeed,except Vauxford...for un-understandable reasons.o_O About replace it if something better comes along,as you said,you can count on me!
