Talk:Denis Villeneuve

Born in Gentilly?
The french version of this article says born in Trois-Rivières...

Intro Sentence
Does not conform to other entries for Canadian film directors or prominent people from Quebec or any other province. See entries for David Cronenberg, Denys Arcand, James Cameron, Jacques Villeneuve, Patrick Roy, and Jean Béliveau for examples. Please either provide a relevant citation, or stop reverting changes.

--

While Canadian may be the nationality, French-Canadian is the ethnicity and Québécois is many French-Canadian's nationality, such as Denis Villeneuve. I also completely disagree with your examples, as there are many artists from Québec who are described as either "Québécois" or "French Canadian", see Xavier Dolan, Armand Vaillancourt, Pierre Falardeau or Ginette Reno. Denis Villeneuve is not your typical Canadian, he's a French Canadian, and should be refered as such. I will undo any changes regarding this detail, as it is a crucial information to understand his artistic vision. Respect the identity of the artist. And be lucky I don't change it for "Québécois" all the time. I think "French Canadian" is a good middle ground. And it does fit with prominent people from Québec if you dig deeper. Of all your examples, two of them are not from Québec, three of them are athletes and only one is a good references. See also people like Luc Plamondon, Michel Rivard Jean-Marc Vallée or Serge Robert. Also, the government of Canada recognized the Québécois as a nation, hence my relevant change. I consider this debate done. - Sombracier47 (talk) December 11th.
 * Ethnicity is irrelevant and does not belong in that section and, as I said, does not conform to the biography template. It could perhaps belong in the "Early Life" sub-section. It is not the place of an editor to promote their own agenda when editing or creating pages, which is plainly what is occurring here. Quebecois is not a nationality as Quebec is not a nation-state. Quebec is a province of Canada, no different than Ontario or Alberta, and all Quebecers are Canadians. Also, citing article examples that you yourself have edited does nothing to contribute to your argument. When there is a disagreement like this, it is the responsibility of the editors involved to at least attempt to discuss the issue. Your response, and the fact that you have again reverted my changes, seems to indicate that you are not interested in discussion. Is that correct? JimboM32 (talk) 06:39, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Excuse me, but ethnicity, regarding Quebecers, is extremely relevant. And what is that you're saying? You don't need to be a state to be a nation. What are scotish poeple then? Catalans? Kurds? First Nations? Tibetans? You have a biased opinion of what a nation is and it clouds your judgment. Ask any scots if they're a nation, see what they tell you. It's the same for Quebec. Also, not all examples i've mentionned were edited by me and, if they were, i've simply looked at what was said about them in the french page and corrected the english one. Also, most of the artists I've mentionned have strong separatist ideas and calling them canadians is not even close to who or what they are as they do not consider themselves to be canadians. And what agenda are you talking about? I'm not screaming, but I'll put it in caps lock so you understand: it's a FACT. Quebec, as I've mentionned before but you didn't care so I'll repeat, is considered a nation under canadian law. It is the only province that is considered in this way, unlike Ontario, unlike Alberta, unline any other provinces. Oh don't worry, I'm open to discussion, but what exactly do you know about Quebec? and its nation-status? Because the way I see it, you too, you undo my changes without discussing much and not hearing my points.

So, to be very clear, French Canadian is the ethnicity, Québec is the nation, French is the language, and both French Canadian and Québécois, if you knew what you were talking about, are synonyms. I know this community gets cringy when someone replaces Canadian by Québécois, so I just change it to French Canadian as it illustrates a geographic reality, an identity reality and a language reality (which are the three main stones to declare/consider yourself a nation). Now, I really don't know how you could possibly change it again. It's not my "personal ideological agenda", it's a sociological reality and overlooking this important issue is, in my opinion, an insult. I'm changing it back to French Canadian, because I consider it's a good middle-ground between Québécois and Canadian, as I've mentionned before but you didn't care. Another good middle ground could be "Denis villeneuve is a French-speaking Canadian...", but if we're at it, it's just better to simply stick with "French Canadian". - Sombracier47, December 12
 * If it is true that Villeneuve (in this case, but also others you have mentioned) self-identifies as Quebecois rather than Canadian, I have no issue with that. However, as he carries a Canadian passport, that is the information that should be given in the opening sentence. His political leanings regarding Quebec separatism and "Quebecois vs Canadian" is perhaps something that belongs under the "Personal Life" section (or maybe a section of it's own) - provided that relevant outside confirmation can be cited. If there are no outside sources confirming this assertion, then wiki policy dictates that it does not belong here. JimboM32 (talk) 23:27, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

 * I have no idea whether Villeneuve is a separatist or not; I haven't even mentionned it or suggested it. But he is definetely a Franco-Canadian, and I think it is important to insist on that fact, because French-Canadians make up to something like 19-20% of Canada's population. The general idea is that Canada is an english speaking country, which it is. But when there is an important artistic figure of Quebec's (and Canada's) such as Villeneuve, it is of the utmost necessity to point out that, hey, he's a french speaking canadian. It is important for anyone who stumbles on his page and wants to know who he is and where he comes from, i.e. sociological background.

Now, the "rules". I don't think that pointing out he's a french-canadian is breaking any rule. I think the way to see it is that I'm "bending" the rules. There are many rules in this world, and I don't think that blindly following rules is the way to go. Though I recognize following rules is essential to keep Wikipedia alive (if not, we would be absurdedly arguing over a pile of worthless junk). And bear with me, I'm not trying to undermine Wikipedia in any way or to blatantly show off some political agenda, but when constructing a page like this about a person, I think it's a good addition to the wiki page to identify him as a french-canadian, because it points two realities within one single word. I feel it's NECESSARY. And pardon me if my tone might have been off-beat at some point, but Quebec is indeed a nation and if I were an extremist, I'd fight over to describe him as a Québécois. But Wikipedia is a place of knowledge and compromise, and I think "French Canadian" is the best compromise we might come to. Sorry for my strange phrasing (you may have guessed I'm a French Canadian as well) and hopefully this can settled smoothly. As for the passport thing, I'm used to this argument and allow me to repeat what I usually respond to this: What good is a paper when you're talking about the soul? - Sombracier47, December 12th — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sombracier47 (talk • contribs) 02:41, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Well, more than half of his filmography has been done in french. I think it's a good first valid point. For the rest, I can dig. - Sombracier47 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sombracier47 (talk • contribs) 21:34, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

I dug, and here is an interview he hmade when he points out multiple times his attachment to Quebec culture ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OheWfw5mnDY&t=602s ). "Nous, les Québécois", "notre culture", "notre force", "chez moi, au Québec". In another interview, unfortunately it's not available anymore, he states that his real strength in the american movie industry is that he is a guy from Québec, it's his french mother tongue that gives him enough distance to produce something original.

Now, I'm sick of this debate. Clearly, there's a few people who undermines the importance of french-canadian culture. I'm not gonna call this racism, but this needs to stop. Denis Villeneuve is a french-canadian, he identifies himself as a Québécois and, in his wikipedia article, should be described as such. End of the story. - Sombracier47 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sombracier47 (talk • contribs) 11:24, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Best Director Oscar 2017
Accolades section shows he won an Oscar in 2017 for Arrival. I agree he deserved it over that La La Land nonsense, but maybe Wikipedia should stick to facts 2A02:C7D:C214:1900:11CD:C80A:C322:C8C1 (talk) 20:43, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

 * I've commented it out as it was added by an anon, on 2019-09-14T21:37:15. It's odd and doesn't add to the article. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:00, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

French Canadian is not an ethnicity
Quebec has been recognized as a nation within a nation: I could easily find other sources to support the claim, but the prime minister should be enough to support the claim. Any objections cannot fall under MOS:ETHNICITY. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:23, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

 * https://www.sqrc.gouv.qc.ca/relations-canadiennes/institutions-constitution/statut-qc/reconnaisance-nation-en.asp
 * Also, this has been the case for several years, and WP:STATUSQUO applies until a new WP:CONSENSUS is reached overturning the one in the Intro Sentence section above. Discussion, not edit warring, is the correct solution. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:24, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I disagree, but either way it should not be mentioned in the lede as it is not relevant to his notability. no issues with it being mentioned elsewhere. GiantSnowman 09:28, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
 * He's from Quebec, right? Then just say he's from Quebec instead of being round-about about it. Though really it has no need to be in the lead: he's not notable for being a francophone (and many of his productions are in English, if you had any doubt), he's notable for his movies. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 00:50, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I would prefer Canadian, and have it unlinked (per WP:OVERLINK). It is incorrect to indicate that he is not notable for his being from Quebec. His early films—2010 and earlier—were deeply entrenched in his Quebecois heritage. It is time to create a new WP:CONSENSUS. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:06, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Then state that he is 'Canadian filmmaker' (no link) in the opening sentence, and later on mention him being from Quebec. GiantSnowman 08:57, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Quebec has not been recognised as a nation. The majority-French speaking people of Quebec (i.e Quebecois) had been recognised as a nation within Canada, by the Harper government & the Canadian Parliament, years ago GoodDay (talk) 02:49, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The sources I provided above state the opposite. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:30, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * First source is in error, as Trudeau doesn't have unilateral authority, on the matter. Second source backs what I've just posted. It's the French majority of Quebec who are recognised as a nation within Canada. GoodDay (talk) 22:15, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

For 'bleeps' sake, just call him Canadian & leave it at that. If he was born in France, then we'd use French Canadian. These annoying nationalists (usually Quebec-related) junk edits being pushed on any Canadian bios is just that, annoying & perhaps even disruptive. GoodDay (talk) 22:26, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Error. Now you're god and can decide who is and who is not in error. His predecessor stated the same. Parliament has repeated this at least twice. I have no problems with changing, if that is consensus, but not linking to Canadians. You know that's against WP:OVERLINK. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:39, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Stop being so stubborn & leave it as the neutral worded Canadian. He was born in Canada & lives in Canada. He's a Canadian, so leave it that. GoodDay (talk) 00:42, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

WP:STATUSQUO and worse yet, WP:OVERLINK? I have no problems if a new consensus is reached, which it seems there will be, but let's get to that point before the change. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:38, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * why do you (at times) gotta be so pig-headed. Canadian is neutral & factual. Leave it at that & stop always trying to have it your way. GoodDay (talk) 00:39, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * WP:STATUSQUO is clear:
 * If there is a dispute, editors should work towards consensus. Instead of engaging in an edit war, which is harmful, propose your reverted change on the article's talk page or pursue other dispute resolution alternatives. During a dispute discussion, until a consensus is established, you should not revert away from the status quo ante bellum (except in cases where contentious material should be immediately removed, such as biographies of living people, or material about living people in other articles). Instead, insert an appropriate tag indicating the text is under discussion. This process is meant for managing resolution of disputes while discussion is taking place. It is not appropriate to use reversion to control the content of an article through status quo stonewalling.
 * If you think following that guideline until a clear consensus is built is being stubborn, you should find another hobby my friend. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:47, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not interested in getting in any stupid edit wars, particular if it appears like some kinda separatist politics is being pushed. Quebec is not a nation, it's a province. That's how it's written up in the intro at Quebec & if one doesn't like it? bring their argument to that province's talkpage. As for this bio? I'm done with it. GoodDay (talk) 00:51, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * So after making personal attacks (discussing the contributor rather than the content) you decided to hypocritically ignore the advice you gave me and . Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:52, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I want nothing more to do with it. GoodDay (talk) 00:58, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Too bad that you're already up to your neck in it. You'll have to wait this one out now. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:16, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

 * The current version ("Canadian filmmaker") seem perfectly acceptable. Unless our friends GoodDay and Walter want to have a bit more mudslinging, this seems like a settled issue, as far as I'm concerned. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 02:58, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Admin comment: I have just now declined a request to full-protect this article because of edit warring. IMO the edit warring is not to a point where full protection is necessary. And you all are experienced editors and should know better. But I will make some comments. First, to Walter Görlitz: you are the primary edit warrior here, insisting on your own version while several other users disagree with you. This talk page is the place to work out your differences, through consensus, and so far consensus is not going your way, so you are ill-advised to keep inserting your own version into the article. Second, to all of you: this disagreement, and any disagreement, should not be settled by opinion or argument, but by what reliable sources say. This is an encyclopedia, not a forum. I suggest you all focus your attention on how he is described by Reliable Sources. -- MelanieN (talk) 03:07, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * First thanks for weighing in. Second, calling the version my version shows complete lack of investigation. In short, it is not my version but the version of the previous consensus. Third, it is going my way. You clearly did not read what I have written here. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:42, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Is anybody here actually suggesting we retain 'French Canadian'? I know myself, GoodDay and RandomCanadian suggest 'Canadian'. GiantSnowman 08:42, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Some points:

 * Nation has different connotations in French and English; "A nation within a nation" isn't the same thing as "a country within a country". Europe has several countries with varying degrees of ethnopolitical recognition of minorities; I don't know which would be the best parallel to Québec within Canada.
 * While French-Canadian is not listed in the 2016 Canadian census as an ethnicity, Québécois is, along with Acadian, Newfoundlander, and three other provinces. French-Canadian is often used synonymously with Québécois but that isn't quite accurate.
 * Some articles have both nationality (Canadian) and ethnicity (Acadian, Québécois) listed in the opening sentence. If Villeneuve made a point of mentioning his Québécois origins, it's reasonable to mention both.
 * It's dumb to write Québécois without the accents.
 * G. Timothy Walton (talk) 15:16, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I do not want French Canadian in the lede. It makes no sense. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:15, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Then why did you revert me when I removed it?! GiantSnowman 18:39, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Perhaps if you read what I wrote you would understand. Did I point to any procedure pages? Did I comment on the procedure more than once? Perhaps you could re-read what I wrote to understand instead of castigating me. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:36, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

If French Canadian is not an ethnicity, then French Canadian ought to be rewritten: the opening line is — Kawnhr (talk) 16:38, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * We should definitely keep French Canadian in the header. It indicates that he's a Canadian, which should please the "All-in for Canada" team, while also pleasing those who want to insist on his Québécois/French Canadian heritage, which is important to state not only in terms of his film making, but also as a person period. French Canadians are definitely an ethnicity, Québécois people definitely form a nation. This is an encyclopedia, not a Court of Justice, so the answer we seek may not entirely rest on a limited reading of the law, but on a much more general reading of what is nation, what is an ethnicity, does Quebec fit in that, and is it noteworthy to point this out in his wikipedia article. Asking the question almost solves it in itself : the answer is yes, obviously. Also, I reverted to the edit that made consensus in the past without knowing a small edit war was going on. From my reading, this is the "normal" article, and any change should be backed with a consensus, which is not the case here for now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danalieth (talk • contribs) 05:10, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The only consensus here is that the horse has pretty much bolted. In terms of Wikipedia policy, even if one agrees that "French Canadian" is an ethnicity (and if one willfully ignores that government "recognition" is clearly part of wider Canada/Quebec politics), MOS:ETHNICITY puts the burden of proof on those claiming that the ethnicity belongs in the lead, and so far the opinions for its inclusion are not very persuasive. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 13:11, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Not putting French Canadian is an erasure of our culture. We are seperate from them. I wouldn't expect Anglos to understand.

Citizenship
It appears that the convention for biographical articles includes stating the person's citizenship in the first sentence. Citizenship, NOT ethnicity. However, for several famous Canadians from Quebec, they are identified as "French-Canadian". When I try to correct this to "Canadian", the change is reversed very quickly; this happened again tonight with Denis Villeneuve, the Director. He has no connection to France.

If ethnicity is used, not citizenship, then it's time to get Martin Scorsese's and Madonna's articles changed to "Italian-American". No? Sounds like hypocrisy and ignorance. 2607:FEA8:BF21:C800:8DBB:1967:E49B:5EE7 (talk) 04:06, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

 * To weigh in on this recurring discussion - I agree that the citizenship convention should apply here and “Canadian” should be in the first sentence. French-Canadian falls in the category of Italian-American or German-Argentinian - it refers to an ethnicity or cultural status. I realize that Quebecois want to clarify their identity, but it's not yet a separate citizenship. Further clarification on Villeneuve’s cultural ties should be added in later sentences.

This is a notice I made to paste on a certain person's IP user talk pages. It'd be more comfortable to have a template for this, but I'm not sure one can make a template with this kind of content...

 This IP has been employed by a vandal. It is one of many IPs in the ranges detailed in the following query: . Established editors of several pages related to the development of nuclear energy in Argentina (especially Huemul Project, National Atomic Energy Commission and Ronald Richter) have identified a common pattern of highly biased and disruptive edits from IPs in these ranges, which point to a single editor. This editor has made several crude attempts to pass as different people, and accused others of of vandalism and of having a biased POV themselves. The editor in question has also personally attacked some of those who revert or correct his/her POV additions, and often resorts to misleading edit summaries to revert those corrections.

Note to closers for this day
I don't think there's been this many FFD's listed for one day in some time. I'd like to encourage closing admins to hold off for a few more days than the norm before closing, so as to allow each file, and the way it's used, to be properly scrutinized. I've already gone through some of the more obvious PD-textlogo type situations, but it'll take a lot of time to go through each file.

When you close FFDs as kept because they are PD-logo please update the license at the file page as well.Jonteemil (talk) 19:12, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Self-managed social center
I've listed this article for peer review because I want to improve it but I'm just getting repeatedly bogged down in discussion with another user, as you can see at Talk:Self-managed_social_center and Talk:Self-managed_social_center. The current structure is not satisfying, since it's split between incomplete coverage of functions and a breakdown by country. I'd welcome some feedback on how to improve the page. Much obliged for any comments, Mujinga (talk) 10:33, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , hello and apologies for the long wait! I'll try to get to reviewing this in the next few days. My only comment for now is that the Italy, United States and United Kingdom sections should probably be subsectioned under a separate header (something like Examples). Hope this helps for now. Thanks, Thatone weird wikier Say hi 15:33, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Right, here we go. Hope this helps!

 * "free schools" is in bold for some reason.
 * "United States" should be linked at its first mention ("for example in Italy, the United States and the United Kingdom".)
 * Uses: "infoshop" is linked despite the link appearing in the lede.
 * History: "enclave" should be linked.
 * "Wobbly union halls" - is this a proper noun?
 * "squatted" should be delinked.
 * The second paragraph doesn't seem to fully talk about autonomous social centers - it seems more of an opinionated viewpoint.
 * Italy: The first sentence links to the main article of this section.
 * United Kingdom: Same problem as above.
 * "infoshop" should be delinked.
 * Infoshops: There seems to be more detail into this description than in the article, but it should be the other way around.
 * Same as above for Free schools, although that doesn't seem to have an article.
 * "economics" should be delinked.
 * , that's everything. Let me know if there are any problems. Thanks, Thatone weird wikier Say hi 01:48, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking a look Mujinga (talk) 11:25, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Lingeer Fatim Beye

Lingeer Fatim Beye Joos Fadiou (commonly Lingeer Fatim Beye) was a 14th-century (c. 1335 ) Serer princess and queen (Lingeer) from the Kingdom of Sine. She is the matriarch and early ancestor of the Joos Maternal Dynasty of Waalo. She is usually regarded by some sources as the founder of the Joos Maternal Dynasty. The pre-colonial Kingdoms of Sine and Waalo now lies within present-day Senegal. Her surname is Bèye or Beye (French-Senegal). Joos Fadiou is her maternal clan. In Serer, "Fa-tim" means "the maternal clan of..."

Lingeer Ndoye Demba, maternal granddaughter of Lingeer Fatim Beye, was given in marriage to the king of Waalo Brak Caaka Mbaar Mbooj ), in c. 1367. Lingeer Ndoye Demba went on to establish the Joos Maternal Dynasty in Waalo which lasted from the 14th century to 1855, the year Waalo fell to the French resulting in the disestablishment of the monarchy. From the 14th century to 1855, the Joos Maternal Dynasty provided many kings of Waalo but also contributed to its instability due to dynastic struggles between the competing maternal dynasties of the country (Joos, Tedyek and Loggar ).

Biography
Lingeer Fatim Beye was a member of the Serer ethnic group and the matriarch of the Joos Maternal Dynasty of Waalo. The Joos Maternal Dynasty (Serer proper : Joos Fadiou or Dioss Fahou/Fadiou ) was a Serer maternal dynasty in the Wolof Kingdom of Waalo.

Fatim Beye was a contemporary of Ndiadiane Ndiaye (founder of the Jolof Empire) and Maad a Sinig Maysa Wali Jaxateh Manneh (var : Manyeasa Wali Dione ) who was the first Guelowar to rule in Sine or any of the Serer countries. Some sources note that, she was once married to Maad a Sinig Maysa Wali thereby linking this matriclan to a rather significant part of Serer medieval history, i.e. the constitutional change in Sine which shaped its medieval to 20th century history. The marriage of Lingeer Fatim Beye to one of the most historical personalities of 14th century Senegalese royalty agrees pretty much with the general consensus regarding Serer-Guelowar relations. It was a union based on marriage among the upper echelons Serer and Guelowar society. According to Henry Gravrand, the defeat of the Guelowars by the Ñaancos at the Battle of Troubang in(1335) at Kaabu, spearheaded their migration to Serer territory after the massacre inflicted upon them at Troubang. In reporting this tradition, Gravrand did not notice that this is actually a description of the 1867 (or 1865) Battle of Kansala although the departure of the Guelowar can probably be explained by a war or a conflict of succession. It was the Serer nobility to which Lingeer Fatim Beye's family were a member of, who granted them asylum after their escape from Kaabu, the country of their birth. As an early ancestor of the Joos Maternal Dynasty, with royal ties to two pre-colonial Senegambian kingdoms from the start of their constitutional change, Lingeer Fatim Beye is regarded as one of the most significant female personalities of Serer and Senegambian dynastic history. Her descendants went on to shape Senegambian medieval to 19th century history.

Joos Maternal Dynasty
The Joos Maternal Dynasty originated from the Serer Kingdom of Sine and entered the Wolof Kingdom of Waalo via the maternal granddaughter of Lingeer Fatim Beye (Lingeer Ndoye Demba). The Serer princess - Lingeer Ndoye Demba, originated from Sine where she was married off to the king of Waalo. Although established in Waalo in c. 1367 by Lingeer Ndoye Demba following her marriage to the king of Waalo (Caaka Mbaar Mbooj ),  this Serer family is linked to old Serer royalty and just one of many of the Serer matriclans. Caaka Mbar was the son of Bakar Mbooj the founder of the Mbooj paternal dynasty of Waalo and an early holder of the royal title Brak. Ndoye Demba's marriage to one of the earliest Braks established the Joos Maternal Dynasty which lasted for nearly 600 years. As of c. 1367, this maternal dynasty provided many Braks of Waalo. Brak Yerim Mbanyik was the first king from this maternal dynasty. He was the son of Lingeer Ndoye Demba and Brak Caaka Mbar. The Braks themselves predated by the Lamanes, ruled over Waalo from the 14th century until the disestablishment of the monarchy in 1855 due to French colonialism.

Although Lingeer Ndoye Demba is generally regarded as the ancestor of the Joos of Waalo, and Lingeer Fatim Beye as an early ancestor and matriarch, some sources suggests that Fatim Beye was the founder of the Joos Dynasty.

That Fatim Bey [Beye] is called the founder of Dioss [Joos] does not conflict with the view that Ndoye Demba is Dioss' ancestor. Fatim/Fatimata Beye was an earlier ancestor.

Sound of Silence
(Inspired by a related discussion on the Language desk) Was the Simon Garfunkel song The Sound of Silence influenced in any way by Jean Cocteau's play of the same name? And/or, do they have any main themes in common? 2601:646:8E01:7E0B:992F:DDCF:CD34:2A70 (talk) 03:08, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Almost certainly no influence that way around. The title Cocteau gave his play was Le Bel indifférent, and the English translation was only published in 1992.  That doesn't prove that it wasn't performed under the title The Sound of Silence earlier, but I can't find any mention of it by that name on Google Books before the Simon and Garfunkel song.  Maybe the question should be whether the translator was influenced by Simon and Garfunkel.  Also, FWIW, the song was originally called "The Sounds of Silence" according to our article on it. --Antiquary (talk) 09:04, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Just to further clarify, the English title of the play is not a translation of the French title. The French phrase lacks any good direct English translation, perhaps "the aloof beauty"?  Maybe?  The phase "the sound of silence" has nothing to do with the original French title.  -- Jayron 32 11:04, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Paul Simon has told the story repeatedly that he wrote the song at night, in the bathroom, with the lights off. The phrase "hello darkness" is in reference to sitting in the dark. The images of the song came from his imagination of the running water from the tap and the cold tiles. He imagined being in a subway station or on a damp stone street. The entire aspect of the singer knowing what's right and everyone else being wrong was, as Simon put it, just teenage angst. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:31, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Hence the line about "I turned my collar to the cold and damp". But as far as the last 2 verses, I have a different take on those -- I think it could be a statement on commercialized pop art vs. authentic folk art -- hence the line "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls". 2601:646:8E01:7E0B:3DB7:8D6E:A762:14CC (talk) 11:41, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * For prophesy being written on walls, see Belshazzar's feast. Alansplodge (talk) 19:45, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Another twist is that there had been a legal battle in the US at about that time over scripts for the TV series, The Twilight Zone. Apparently a script called "The Sound of Silence" was submitted to the producers in 1961. In 1963, screenwriter Rod Serling wrote a similar story for the same series called "Sounds and Silences", which was only shown once before Serling was successfully sued by the original author (see A Critical History of Television’s The Twilight Zone, 1959–1964 p. 185 by Don Presnell, Marty McGee).  Alansplodge (talk) 20:00, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Stones gap in Ottawa
I believe the Rolling Stones have performed in Ottawa twice - with a 42-year gap. Is this true, and is this a record for their history? Hayttom (talk) 19:50, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

 * On This fansite's page about the concert at the "Frank Clair Stadium, Lansdowne Park, Ottawa, ON, Canada, Sunday, August 28, 2005" a reviewer writes: "the last time they played here was way back on April 24, 1965 at the YMCA Auditorium", so that would be a 40-year gap. With this info on date and location it should be possible to find links in local or national newspaper archives, for solid reference. Unfortunately not all the "Newslinks" listed there work. ---Sluzzelin talk  20:05, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * (No idea whether this is a record in time gap between performances in the same city) ---Sluzzelin talk  20:14, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia, interestingly, has an almost complete list of Rolling Stones concert tours indexed at The Rolling Stones concerts. The April 24, 1965 date is listed at The Rolling Stones 1st American Tour 1965 and the August 28, 2005 date is listed at A Bigger Bang (concert tour).  It would take some work, but by perusing all of those articles, you could answer just about any question from those lists. There's a fansite here that promises a "complete concert log" for every Rolling Stones concert ever, it may fill in the few gaps the Wikipedia articles have.  -- Jayron 32 20:21, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Just checked that site and it does indicate the same as noted above, the only two concerts listed for Ottawa are the two above, 40 years apart. According to This page at same site, they also had a 40-year gap (1966-2006) between concerts in Wellington.  -- Jayron 32 20:27, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Here shows a 40-year gap between shows in Warsaw. -- Jayron 32 20:29, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I point out that at 40 years and just over 4 months, the gap shown for Ottawa is longer than those other two. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:28, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * They could still theoretically return to Statesboro and beat the record soundly. They didn't like it 52 years ago, though. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:42, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * So they had the Statesboro Blues? -- Jayron 32 22:39, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I think Honolulu is another one like that. They toured in The Rolling Stones American Tour 1966 and The Rolling Stones Pacific Tour 1973 but from what I can tell, haven't been back since. Strike that, found Bridges to Babylon Tour. I suspect there may be other American and other cities like that, but I'm not sure. Nil Einne (talk) 13:05, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Boulevard Fournier

Boulevard Fournier is a main route in the city of Gatineau, Quebec that connects the Gatineau and Hull sectors. It starts as the extension of Boulevard Greber in the old city of Gatineau and ends at the entrance of the downtown core where it becomes Boulevard Maisonneuve which connects the Portage Bridge towards Ottawa. It was once part of Route 148 until the Quebec Ministry of Transportation rerouted the provincial highway onto Autoroute 50 and Autoroute 5 as a concurrency.

The road crosses right in the middle of Lac Leamy Park one of the key greenspaces of the city. A road connects Fournier to the Lake and its beaches itself. Several bike paths connect the boulevard to the lake or Jacques Cartier Park and downtown Gatineau and Ottawa.

The artery was named after Alphonse Fournier.

Lady Aberdeen Bridge
The Lady Aberdeen Bridge that crosses the Gatineau River is the oldest bridge connecting the former city of Gatineau to the former City of Hull. Previously only a two-lane bridge, it was built at the beginning in 1894 and named the Gatineau Bridge.

It was renamed Lady Aberdeen for the wife of former Governor General of Canada John Hamilton-Gordon, 1st Marquess of Aberdeen and Temair, Ishbel Maria Marjoribanks when she nearly drowned near the bridge while returning from a meeting at the nearby Saint-François-de-Sales church, and was rescued by local villagers.

It was replaced in 1931 by the current structure by the Dominion Bridge Company. However, due to the population growth in the Pointe-Gatineau sector, a second bridge that is used for southbound commuters was built. Recently, the city of Gatineau was concerned about the structure of the older portion of the bridge and is doing repairs to solidify it. It imposed a weight restriction on the area prompting heavy trucks to travel on Autoroute 50.

Major reconstruction of the old structure started in 2006 and continued for most of 2007. In 2007, the construction forced the shut down of the northbound lanes towards Pointe-Gatineau, diverting the traffic towards the southbound structure with one lane in each direction except during peak periods where it is closed to northbound traffic in the morning and southbound traffic in the afternoon. Cyclist and pedestrian traffic are forced to use the western sidewalk and a narrow lane beside it. Part of the Route Verte provincial bicycle network, TV station CHOT-TV discussed during a news report safety issues during the construction period due to the high risk of accidents between cyclists and vehicles as one of the collisions during the summer was a fatal one.

Transit Priorities
It is also the main route used by STO buses traveling to and from downtown Gatineau and the old Gatineau sector and there are bus lanes along most of the stretch. Those lanes were necessary due to the very high flow of traffic (sometimes there is much congestion), since this road is used as an alternative to Autoroute 50. Express routes and some regular routes travels on Fournier, but express routes do not serve the stops due to a closed-doors policy that speed up travel time for express users. On both sides of the bridges, there are transit signal priorities in which buses can cross the intersection before the green light preventing to be caught in line-ups.

The measures are in place until the STO's Rapibus, which will follow the Quebec-Gatineau Railway Line, will be in operation starting in 2010.

Guitar/Intervals and Power Chords

An interval is the distance between two notes.

Each interval has a distinctive sound.

Intervals are named with reference to scales. For example, the interval from the root of the major scale to the second note of the major scale is called a "major second"; the interval from the root to the third note of that scale is a "major third", and so on. A "minor third" is the interval from the root to the third of a minor scale, and is a semitone (one fret) less than a major third.

Major scale played on a single string: nut                                                                   12th fret O||-|--●--|-|--●--|--●--|-|--●--|-|--●--|-|--●--|--●--| ^         ^           ^     ^           ^           ^           ^     ^       root      2nd         3rd   4th         5th         6th         7th   octave (8th)

Natural minor scale played on a single string: nut                                                                   12th fret O||-|--●--|--●--|-|--●--|-|--●--|--●--|-|--●--|-|--●--| ^         ^     ^           ^           ^     ^           ^           ^       root      2nd  minor         4th         5th  minor       minor      octave 3rd                           6th         7th        (8th)

Major 2nd interval played on one string (say, the 6th string): ||-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|--- ||-|-|-|-|--●--|-|--●--|-|-|-|-|-|---

Same interval played on two strings (6th and 5th): ||-|--●--|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|--- ||-|-|-|-|--●--|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|---

Exception. If played on 2nd and 3rd strings, the shape of a major 2nd becomes this, because of the tuning irregularity: ||-|-|--●--|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|--- ||-|-|-|-|--●--|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|---

Major 3rd on two strings (but not 2nd to 3rd strings) ||-|-|-|--●--|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|--- ||-|-|-|-|--●--|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|---

Major 3rd on 2nd and 3rd strings: ||-|-|-|-|--●--|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|--- ||-|-|-|-|--●--|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|--- If the two notes are played at the same time, an interval is called a harmonic interval. If they are played one after the other, it is called a melodic interval. (Only melodic intervals can be played on a single string.)

Power chords
Power chords are simple chords consisting of root, fifth, and possibly octave. An advantage to understanding power chords is their shape can be used to quickly determine the location of the perfect fifth and the octave. This improves one's overall understanding of the location of notes on the fingerboard by relation to one another and builds the groundwork for understanding scales. Power chords are a staple of heavy distortion guitar styles, where the distortion creates harmonics that give a rich sound despite the bare-bones simplicity of the chord.

Perfect fifths (e.g., C-G) and their inversion, perfect fourths (e.g., G-C), are the most consonant interval on the guitar (and in all of music for that matter), not counting unison and octaves.

It is more difficult to play the octave for a root note on the D string, because the B string is tuned differently than the other strings, and you will need to stretch further to reach the octave. Power chords are most commonly played on the thicker strings, and many songs exclusively use perfect fifth power chords.

Perfect Fifth above octave
The simplest perfect fifth power chord uses the same fingering as an E minor chord, except only the thickest three strings are played. Here is the fretting for the E5 power chord:

There are several different fingerings you can use to play a power chord, but it is best to choose one that lets you easily move the power chord up and down the neck.

Here are three most common fingerings for a power chord, in this case, a G5. In the second and third fingering, the two strings are barred at the fifth fret. The numbers indicate the number of finger to use. Finger #1 is the index finger, #2 the middle finger, #3 the ring finger, and finger #4 is the little finger.

 EADGBE       EADGBE        EADGBE ---xxx       ---xxx        ---xxx 1 ......     1 ......      1 ......  2 ......      2 ......      2 ......  3 1.....      3 1.....      3 1.....  4 ......      4 ......      4 ......  5 .34...      5 .33...      5 .44...

Alternate Fingerings
One common variation on the power chord involved omitting the second, higher octave note. For example, a G5 without the second G would look like this:

These are easier to play because you only need two fingers and the sound is similar to the three string version.

Since a power chord is just playing multiple strings that produce only two tones, it is possible to play all six strings and still be playing a power chord. Some open tunings set the guitar up so that when you strum it open, it plays a power chord. Here is an example of a full G5 chord, where all strings are either playing a G or a D.

 EADGBE --00-- 1 ......  2 ......  3 2...11  4 ......  5 .4....

This chord can be considered a non-traditional power chord, since in popular music, power chords usually use only two or three strings. This is also a hard fingering for the beginner, but it emphasizes an important fact about double stops: as long as you keep adding octave or unison notes, you will always be playing the same interval. Playing a non-octave or unison note will instead produce a chord.

Adding unison notes may sound different even though they are supposed to produce the same pitch. This may be because the strings have different tension or thickness. In general, the guitar's thinner strings will have a brighter, more ringing sound.

Perfect Fourths
This type of power chord can be regarded as root plus perfect fifth in the octave below.

Perfect fourths have a slightly more suspended sound than perfect fifth chords. These are easy to play, because most of the strings on the guitar are tuned in fourths. This means that playing any two of the thickest four strings, when they are beside one another and played at the same fret. For example, a D4 is played like this:

 EADGBE    EADGBE (335xxx)  (x224xx)

Other Double Stops
You can play a huge variety of different intervals by playing chords, and just plucking two notes at the same time. Often you can add variety to chord strumming by playing a quick fill by playing different sections of a chord, and achieving different intervals.

Wikibooks talk:Requests for permissions

Need some order
I think we should make RFA look like Wikipedia's one. Now everything is messed up: support, oppose votes, comments, chat etc. There should be clearly separeted sections of: support, oppose votes, questions, comments.

The same problem appears in other votings like WB:NP, which is completely unreadable. --Derbeth 19:48, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I don't think it's necessary to do that. I prefer the mix everything in together approach personally. It's a discussion rather than a vote. Theresa knott 10:58, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Apparently, the adminship rules are less strict here, so I don't think there's a need to have a fancy RfA like Wikipedia. I've been here for a few days, and I've discovered that this place and Wikipedia are two different places.  Kayau  David Copperfield  MOBY DICK   the great gatsby  07:49, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The RfA process at Wikipedia is a disaster in action and designed for.. well Wikipedia. Our system seems to be fairly effective in getting things done. Geoff Plourde (talk) 18:03, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * IMO linear sequencing is fine if we indicatge support/opposition/nuetrality by boldfacing our opinion.
 * Keep linear adhocracy. Geofferybard (discuss • contribs) 20:18, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Admin question
I have spent quite a bit of time around the RfA process at en.wiki, and know the ins and outs, but am a little puzzled here. Roughly how long does a user have to be active before adminship is a real possibility? About how many edits? I guess I'm gonna get some response about it is a case-by-case basis and that editcountitis is bad, but I would like a candid answer. Thanks. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark)  18:31, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

 * There are no strict requirements. As for now, you should be "active at Wikibooks for a while" and "known and trusted". --Derbeth 18:42, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I realise there are no strict requirements. I was just looking for some general answer. What does "active at Wikibooks for a while" even mean? 1 week? 1 month? 3 months? 6 months? 1 year? And I know people have their own standards and such, I am looking for a frank, to the point answer. At Wikipedia, you have a hard time becoming Admin if you haven't been there for around 3 months or have less than 1000 edits. There is no rule, but that seems to be about the line most people have in their standards. I want to know what the general community consensus is here. Thanks. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark)  18:51, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I've been an admin for only a short time now, and I am up to a total of about 1500 edits, and have been a contributer for a relatively short period of time. If you have a good history (even if it is brief), and you ask nicely, you will probably get it if you want it. --Whiteknight T C E 19:25, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I from what it looks like here, you have less then 100 edits, and you dont seem to have any history before november. If this is the case you are at a pretty good pace, (about 10 edits per day or more), so if you wait another solid month, and maybe help to clean up a spot of vandalism, you would have my vote. --Whiteknight T C E 19:27, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I wasn't thinking about nominating myself any time in the near future, I was just wondering if I ever did want to run. I do plan to stick around because I see a lot of stuff happening here. Thanks WhiteKnight. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark)  19:30, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

 * You know, edits are not everything. For me, a candidate for admin should be proficient with MediaWiki mechanisms: history, moving, special pages, templates. He should also prove that he knows Wikibooks policies. I don't think an admin should take part in discussion about policies and be active at staff lounge, but I require that he is able to patrol Recentchanges regularly. I would also check if the user does not start arguments and whether his contributions are useful to Wikibooks. --Derbeth 19:43, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I like to see people become admins once you have been able to figure out how to use the major tools for editing, like page moves and marking in a watchlist, as well as going beyond just adding a little bit of text to a page. Participation in discussion, especially on Staff Lounge and the VfD discussions is useful as well.  One huge plus is if you have been able to help out with a vandalism attack and have been able to on your own revert some vandalism and help restore some of the damage without resorting to the use of admin tools.  All of this, plus knowing some of the general policies of Wikibooks is all I look at.  I believe that the quality of the edits is more important than the number of edits anyway.  If you do an edit and put in 20K more content instead of 2000 edits of one word each, I would say the one edit is far more valuable.  Using this philosophy, you could become an admin with just 50 high quality edits where you spend a lot of time reading policies and getting to know the community.  I think it is important that an admin is going to stick around as well, so an admin candidate that created the account just two weeks ago is IMHO less likely to get the admin status than somebody who has been on here for more than a year.

 * Jimbo has suggested that becoming an admin is "not that big of a deal", and if you are willing to put in a little bit more effort for Wikibooks and help police what is going on, you are certainly encouraged to try and become an administrator. --Rob Horning 02:04, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, like I said earlier (and I'm not sure you were directing this totally at me), I am not really interested in "running" for Admin any time soon. And to play Devil's Advocate, I believe he said it is "no big deal". Cheers. -- LV (Dark Mark) 15:09, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Edit limit
I suggest creating edit limit for users who want to vote here. I think we may take Collaboration of the Month and WB:BOTM as example and require at least 20 edits. --Derbeth talk 20:21, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I think a more substantial edit count should be used. 20 edits can happen pretty easily for very new users, and I would think something a bit larger like 50 edits would be better. This ensures a bit more practice around the project. -Matt 21:28, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeeeah, I think some minimum should be set, but think we should allow (and encourage if they have something substantive to say) anons and low-edit accounts to comment. -- LV (Dark Mark) 00:59, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

 * An edit limit seems a good idea. I have not seen here the same problems with suspicious (may be sock puppets or friends) votes and other such nonsense seen at COTM and BOTM (and occasionally VfD), so I don't see a need for a higher limit than for those.  If problems arise, then we can raise it.  Or if we need to raise the edit limit for COTM and BOTM, then we can raise the edit limit here to match.  --JMRyan 20:25, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I personally don't like the idea, new users are effected just as much by who becomes an adin as the ones who have been around. Plus I think that enforcing an edit limit may make a new user feel left out in some cases perhaps, but I agree in that something needs to be in place to prevent sockpuppets from getting involved, perhaps someone with checkuser can "certify" the voting results by checking for sockpuppets, although thats not a fool-proof method, I don't think anything is.RyanB88 21:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree that newer users should be encouraged to exercise full citizenship. Many have background on WMF, or at RealWorld university. The problem with checkuser is that it is intrusive but maybe a non-judgemental individual could be entrusted to screen for sock-voting.(Probably no way that can be done unintrusively.)The only other idea I have is that the number of user edits could be displayed next to the voter's signature through some sort of software device. If any programmers out there feel like looking into that maybe we can do that and to get fancy, create an algorithm that multiplies users edits times votes for a weighted average. But wait - these aren't votes, they are discussions. This is one of those things with no "right" answer. Cf epistemology, wave particle duality and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.Geofferybard (discuss • contribs) 20:27, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Desysop request
About the desysop request for my account : It's ok for me to be desysoped here. I don't know if I will contribute here very much in short future. My sysop privilege came essentially from the period when all wikibooks were on the same domain. Now, it's not really useful anymore. What is sure, is that I will not abuse from these privileges, so don't worry, but if you want to remove them, it's ok. Traroth 14:13, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Sysop Removal Timeline
When does everyone think inactive sysops can be re-nominated to be removed of rights? As time goes on many of these admins' inactivity times just lengthen. Perhaps every six months a vote can be held? Also, it might not be a bad idea to define what "inactivity" means here since many of the supposed current votes have been non-consesused due to last-second voting regarding mandatory inactivity rules. -Matt 02:02, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes. Though it might be better to reconsider the issues again in abstract first. The initial discussions showed there was unanimity amongst those voting to remove those who had made no edit of any description in the last 12 months (unless there are other wikimedia-related matters than need to be taken into consideration). The discussions on the other nominees seem to have stalled - mostly relating to a nomination that was considered by some to be arguing for de-sysopping on fault rather than no fault. This even led to one user opposing the de-sysopping of a user who has consented to his own de-sysopping, which just seems weird - as is the case where a level of inactivity of well over 12 months was broken by one single edit on a usertalk page to thank him for a vote he made on meta.

 * The discussion areas for "no fault" de-sysoppings under a "use it or lose it policy" are:

 * Complete inactivity over 12 months (excepting those who need reserve rights for Wikimedia Foundation or MediaWiki development reasons) - de facto already agreed as being reason for de-sysopping
 * User request or with the consent of the user - we'd need to agree this, but personally I can't see why this should be controversial
 * Complete inactivity over 6 months (excepting those who need reserve rights for Wikimedia Foundation or MediaWiki development reasons) - there was around 80% support for this looking at the nominations on the project page - maybe we can agree this in the abstract
 * Inactivity over 12 months - ie there was some activity (maybe fewer than 10 edits, or no edits to the main namespace) - again, there was some significant support for this looking at the nominations - maybe this is worth discussing again in the abstract
 * Intermittent (or continuing) editing activity, but no usage of sysop-only rights for a 12 month period - again, maybe this is worth discussing again in the abstract

 * Jguk 06:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I oppose establishing any such timeline without the general discussion suggested by Jguk. We seemed to have at least more or less agreed to do some housecleaning of inactive Admins at the Staff Lounge discussion. But the consensus spoiling "last minute votes" seem to indicate that we had less of a consensus than we had thought. In the Staff Lounge discussion, Gentgeen suggested we should have a policy on these issues. Derbeth's horror expressed as "Oh dear, not another new policy" reply notwithstanding, I support having a policy or guideline on the matter (possibly new or possibly worked into existing policies). In the recent vote, there seemed to be some confusion both over what we were doing and over what we should have been doing. Were we desysopping those with no activity for 12 months? No activity for 6 moths? Desysopping those with non-admin activity only for 6 or 12 months? Desysopping those with no non-admin activity outside their own books? I changed one of my votes over such confusion. There was even disagreement over whether we should be having no-fault desysopping votes at all. Having a policy or even a guideline to point to might even have ameliorated a bit the contretemps that occurred over Marshman's vote (okay, well, maybe that one's a stretch).

I don't have much of a position on the issues raised by Jguk. Here is what little I do have:

 * No-fault desysopping due to 12 months inactivity (whether that's complete inactivity, near complete inactivity, non-admin inactivity, etc.) is more likely to garner a consensus than desysoping due to 6 months inactivity. I base that on the discussions both at the Staff Lounge discussion and at the desysopping votes themselves.  I like consensus.  Consensus is good.  :-)

 * Assuming we have set times for these desysopping votes or time spans between them, we should consider not holding a desysopping vote for the same admin two times in a row. As long as they are not doing any damage, I don't want to give the impression that we're piling on.  If that adopted, it might argue for holding housecleaning desysop votes twice a year rather than yearly.

 * Perhaps we should maintain a strict wall between for-cause desysop votes and no-fault housecleaning desysop votes. For-cause reasons for desysopping are of a very different type than no-fault housecleaning desysop votes.  I don't see a little bit of for-cause and a little bit of no-fault reasons supporting each other.  For-cause and no-fault desysoppings need to stand by themselves as sufficient.  On the other hand, the "piling on" problem concerns me here.  Consider  Marshman's case.  How much nastier would that fight have been if we held one type of vote (for-cause or no-fault) first and then the other type a month later.  I don't right now have any brilliant ideas as to how to separate for-cause and no-fault votes without leaving us susceptible to piling on problems.  But I do feel that such a brilliant idea would be highly desirable.

 * Then you need to request it on the project page rather than the talk page (go to WB:RFP). It's fair to say you are unlikely to achieve a consensus to have the admin flag when you've made no contributions here to any books. Unusual? Quite TalkQu 22:24, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

How do I know if I have certain permissions?
I haven't worked with Wikibooks for a bit, but am the one that created the How to use a Motorola DVR book. It looks like flagged revisions have been added, but I have no idea how to 'approve' items. There is mention that some submit or other buttons should show up, but I don't see that. Basically, I assume I haven't been granted the correct permissions?

CU
I hope this won't lead to a straw poll like WN ArbCom elections... Kayau ( talk | email | contribs ) 14:15, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

 * CUs have a minimum requirement of support "votes", take a look in Adrignola's nomination. It shouldn't be a static number but a percentage based on the active administrators.  --Panic (talk) 14:31, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Actually, the requirement is at least 25 votes. It's the last bastion of an actual vote.  It should be based on project size, but it's not. – Adrignola talk 15:16, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

 * After a fixed minimum number of votes, the next simplest arrangement would perhaps be a number simply proportional to active admins, which would seem to make it too easy for tiny projects and prohibitively difficult for huge projects. One might supplement that with absolute lower and upper bounds on the required minimum, or go for something even more baroque (logarithmic scale, anyone?).  But the more complicated you make it, the harder it is to use and the more of a controversy magnet it becomes.

 * Smaller projects are given some relief in trying to scrape up the requisite numbers by the fact that there is no fixed limit on how long a CU vote can remain open. Sanity checks are that the whole local community has to have been properly notified of the vote (which, since we haven't clearly settled on what we're doing, has not yet happened here), and that once you claim to have the requisite level of consensus, you have to request at Meta, which gives the Stewards a chance to look over the proceedings to see if there's anything dicey about them.  Details are at Checkuser policy.  --Pi zero (talk) 16:03, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * It has been my experience that WMF projects do, despite protestations to the contrary, have a certain number of individuals who are eager to acquire administrative power in order to promote or protect POV or for ego-gratification reasons present company excepted . Thus I would suggest erring on the side of (a) less is more regarding CU's but more importantly (b) quality more important than quantity in that CU's should have a very detailed understanding of rights and responsibilities, be accessible to folks with less technical expertise and have a demonstrated record of wielding power judiciously, NPOV and fairly. My bottom line is that I use properly disclosed multiple accounts for lawful purposes, like protecting my sanity from POV warriors, and I don't doubt that someday a POV Warrior will try to use CU and attempt to characterize my lawful-per-policy multiple accounts as somehow indicative of (evil vampire soundtrack) "socking".

A WikiProject serving the autonomous region of Bougainville Oakley77 (talk) 01:40, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups
The only WikiProjects that could host a Bougainville task force are Melanesia, Papua New Guinea, and Islands. My reasons why I don't join on to those WikiProjects are exemplified as followed Islands-This project is to broad of a spectrum to host a Bougainville task force, and a task force there would not be approved as they don't have many task forces. Papua New Guinea-This would be the project most likely to approve of a task force, but I believe a full project in necessary because the Bougainville issue has become to large and looming to be confined to just a task force.

Support
I give my support as nominator!

French/Lessons/Food and drink

-ger verbs are regular -er verbs that are also stem changing. The most common -ger verb is manger.

For manger and all other regular -ger verbs, the stem change is the addition of an e after the g. This only applies in the nous form. In this case, the change is made to preserve the soft g pronunciation rather than the hard g that would be present if the e were not included.

The verb boire, meaning to drink, is irregularly conjugated (it is not a regular -re verb).

The partitive article de indicates, among other things, the word some. As learned earlier, de and le contract (combine) into du, as de and les contract into des. Also, instead of du or de la, de l' is used in front of vowels.

When speaking about food, the partitive article is used at some times while the definite article (le, la, les) is used at other times, and the indefinite article (un, une) in yet another set of situations. In general de refers to a part of food (a piece of pie) whereas the definite article (le) refers to a food in general (I like pie (in general)). The indefinite article refers to an entire unit of a food (I would like a (whole) pie).

When speaking about preferences, use the definite article:

When speaking about eating or drinking an item, there are specific situations for the use of each article.

In the negative construction, certain rules apply. Un or une changes to de in a negative construction, meaning, in this context, any. Similarly, du, de la, or des change to de in negative constructions.

To say some of it without specifying the exact object, the pronoun en can be used. Additionally, en can mean of it when it is not specified. For instance, instead of saying J'ai besoin d'argent, if the idea of money has already been raised, it can be stated as J'en ai besoin. This is because en replaces du, de la or des when the noun is not specifically mentioned in the sentence.

Like with me, te and other pronouns, en (meaning some) comes before the verb.

Hollywood Professional School

Hollywood Professional School was a private school in Hollywood, California. Initially established as a music conservatory by pianist Gladys T. Littell in 1921 under the name Hollywood Conservatory of Music and Arts, the school quickly expanded its offerings into theater and dance as well as music. In 1929 the Hollywood Professional School (HPS) was established by Viola Foss Lawler as a companion private school to the conservatory, with both schools operating legally as a single institution under the Hollywood Conservatory of Music and Arts name. In 1944 the school was purchased by Bertha Keller Mann and it ceased teaching the arts and became solely a private school teaching traditional academic subjects in grades K-12 to mostly children working in the entertainment business or competitive athletics in Los Angeles.

Hollywood Conservatory of Music and Arts
The Hollywood Professional School (HPS) was established in 1921 by pianist Gladys T. Littell under the name the Hollywood Conservatory of Music and Arts (HCMA). The HCMA taught both children in a pre-professional program and young adults on a pre-professional conservatory track of development. Originally the school only offered instruction in string instruments, piano, and vocal music, with instruction in singing initially being led by Louis Graveure, and Frances Kendig teaching piano and music theory, and string instruction by Zoellner. For the Fall of 1924, bandmaster, clarinetist, and composer Albert Perfect joined the faculty of the school when it expanded its offering to include woodwinds and brass instruments. At the same time Modest Altschuler was a visiting lecturer at the institution, and Russian pianist Alexander Kosloff joined the piano faculty. Soon after, Bruno David Ussher was hired to teach music history for the school, Arthur Kachel was hired to teach acting in the tradition of Leland T. Powers, Roy Harris was hired as an instructor in ear training, and Jean Galeron taught French and diction for singers.

Several important appointments were made in December 1924 for the beginning of the Spring 1925 academic semester, including the appointment of the HCMA's first official administrative director, its founder Gladys T. Littell. Hugo Kirchhofer was appointed as the head of the vocal music department, and Lizeta Kalova taking over the strings department. In 1925 the HCMA moved into new premises at 5400 Hollywood Boulevard at Serrano Avenue with a recital on November 17, 1925. Opera singer Alma Stetzler taught singing at the school in the late 1920s. German concert pianist and composer Georg Liebling was a member of the piano faculty in the early 1930s. The school presented numerous student recitals and productions during the 1920s and early 1930s, as well as hosting concerts given by established professionals. During the late 1930s and early 1940s the conservatory portion of school reduced steadily. The HPS continued to operate at the HCMA under Littell.

In 1944 Littell sold the HCMA to Bertha Keller Mann and it ceased teaching the arts. The HPS private school became the sole focus of the institution. In 1948 the school was enrolling students K-12 and operating under the name the Hollywood Professional School while legally still existing under its former name, the Hollywood Conservatory of Music and Arts, on paper. Many of the pupils who attended the school were children working in show business, operating mornings only so that the children could work in the afternoon. It closed down in June 1985 due to insufficient enrollment and the death of the owner that same year. The school's building and many of its assets were auctioned in August 1985.

Hollywood Professional School
In 1929 Viola Foss Lawler established the Hollywood Professional School (HPS) at 5402 Hollywood Boulevard as a private school addition to the HCMA. This allowed students at the conservatory to attend grammar school and secondary school classes while studying subjects like music and drama. Lawler's school focused on catering to children in the entertainment business, following a similar model pioneered by the Professional Children's School in New York City. By 1930 there were close to 300 students enrolled in the first through 12th grades at HPS.

Lawler parted ways with the HCMA in 1937 to establish her own independent school, the Lawler Professional School which was later known as the Mar-Ken Professional School. Martha O'Driscoll's mother was a financial partner in the Mar-Ken Professional Children's School.
