Python Programming/Data Types

Data types determine whether an object can do something, or whether it just would not make sense. Other programming languages often determine whether an operation makes sense for an object by making sure the object can never be stored somewhere where the operation will be performed on the object (this type system is called static typing). Python does not do that. Instead it stores the type of an object with the object, and checks when the operation is performed whether that operation makes sense for that object (this is called dynamic typing).

Built-in Data types
Python's built-in (or standard) data types can be grouped into several classes. Sticking to the hierarchy scheme used in the official Python documentation these are numeric types, sequences, sets and mappings (and a few more not discussed further here). Some of the types are only available in certain versions of the language as noted below.

 * boolean: the type of the built-in values  and  . Useful in conditional expressions, and anywhere else you want to represent the truth or falsity of some condition. Mostly interchangeable with the integers 1 and 0. In fact, conditional expressions will accept values of any type, treating special ones like boolean , integer 0 and the empty string   as equivalent to  , and all other values as equivalent to.

Numeric types:
 * int: Integers; equivalent to C longs in Python 2.x, non-limited length in Python 3.x
 * long: Long integers of non-limited length; exists only in Python 2.x
 * float: Floating-Point numbers, equivalent to C doubles
 * complex: Complex Numbers

Sequences:
 * str: String; represented as a sequence of 8-bit characters in Python 2.x, but as a sequence of Unicode characters (in the range of U+0000 - U+10FFFF) in Python 3.x
 * bytes: a sequence of integers in the range of 0-255; only available in Python 3.x
 * byte array: like bytes, but mutable (see below); only available in Python 3.x
 * list
 * tuple

Sets:
 * set: an unordered collection of unique objects; available as a standard type since Python 2.6
 * frozen set: like set, but immutable (see below); available as a standard type since Python 2.6

Mappings:
 * dict: Python dictionaries, also called hashmaps or associative arrays, which means that an element of the list is associated with a definition, rather like a Map in Java

Some others, such as type and callables

Mutable vs Immutable Objects
In general, data types in Python can be distinguished based on whether objects of the type are mutable or immutable. The content of objects of immutable types cannot be changed after they are created.

Only mutable objects support methods that change the object in place, such as reassignment of a sequence slice, which will work for lists, but raise an error for tuples and strings.

It is important to understand that variables in Python are really just references to objects in memory. If you assign an object to a variable as below, all you really do is make this variable (a, s, or l) point to the object (1, 'abc', ['a string', 456, ('a', 'tuple', 'inside', 'a', 'list')]), which is kept somewhere in memory, as a convenient way of accessing it. If you reassign a variable as below you make the variable point to a different object (newly created ones in our examples). As stated above, only mutable objects can be changed in place (l[0] = 1 is ok in our example, but s[0] = 'a' raises an error). This becomes tricky, when an operation is not explicitly asking for a change to happen in place, as is the case for the <tt>+=</tt> (increment) operator, for example. When used on an immutable object (as in <tt>a += 1</tt> or in <tt>s += 'qwertz'</tt>), Python will silently create a new object and make the variable point to it. However, when used on a mutable object (as in <tt>l += [1,2,3]</tt>), the object pointed to by the variable will be changed in place. While in most situations, you do not have to know about this different behavior, it is of relevance when several variables are pointing to the same object. In our example, assume you set <tt>p = s</tt> and <tt>m = l</tt>, then <tt>s += 'etc'</tt> and <tt>l += [9,8,7]</tt>. This will change <tt>s</tt> and leave <tt>p</tt> unaffected, but will change both <tt>m</tt> and <tt>l</tt> since both point to the same list object. Python's built-in <tt>id</tt> function, which returns a unique object identifier for a given variable name, can be used to trace what is happening under the hood.

Typically, this behavior of Python causes confusion in functions. As an illustration, consider this code:

This will give the above indicated, and usually unintended, output. <tt>myseq</tt> is a local variable of the <tt>append_to_sequence</tt> function, but when this function gets called, <tt>myseq</tt> will nevertheless point to the same object as the variable that we pass in (<tt>t</tt> or <tt>l</tt> in our example). If that object is immutable (like a tuple), there is no problem. The += operator will cause the creation of a new tuple, and <tt>myseq</tt> will be set to point to it. However, if we pass in a reference to a mutable object, that object will be manipulated in place (so <tt>myseq</tt> and <tt>l</tt>, in our case, end up pointing to the same list object).

Creating Objects of Defined Types
Literal integers can be entered in three ways:
 * decimal numbers can be entered directly
 * hexadecimal numbers can be entered by prepending a 0x or 0X (0xff is hex FF, or 255 in decimal)
 * the format of octal literals depends on the version of Python:
 * Python 2.x: octals can be entered by prepending a zero ( 0 ) (0732 is octal 732, or 474 in decimal)
 * Python 3.x: octals can be entered by prepending a zero followed by the letter O (0o or 0O) (0o732 is octal 732, or 474 in decimal)

Floating point numbers can be entered directly.

Long integers are entered either directly<PHONE_NUMBER>011121314151617181920 is a long integer) or by appending an L (0L is a long integer). Computations involving short integers that overflow are automatically turned into long integers.

Complex numbers are entered by adding a real number and an imaginary one, which is entered by appending a j (i.e. 10+5j is a complex number. So is 10j). Note that j by itself does not constitute a number. If this is desired, use 1j.

Strings can be either single or triple quoted strings. The difference is in the starting and ending delimiters, and in that single quoted strings cannot span more than one line. Single quoted strings are entered by entering either a single quote (') or a double quote (") followed by its match. So therefore 'foo' works, and "moo" works as well,     but 'bar" does not work, and "baz' does not work either. "quux '' is right out.

Triple quoted strings are like single quoted strings, but can span more than one line. Their starting and ending delimiters must also match. They are entered with three consecutive single or double quotes, so foo works, and """moo""" works as well, but '"'bar'"' does not work, and """baz ''' does not work either. '"'quux"'" is right out.

Tuples are entered in parentheses, with commas between the entries: Also, the parenthesis can be left out when it's not ambiguous to do so:

Note that one-element tuples can be entered by surrounding the entry with parentheses and adding a comma like so:

Lists are similar, but with brackets:

Dicts are created by surrounding with curly braces a list of key/value pairs separated from each other by a colon and from the other entries with commas:

Any of these composite types can contain any other, to any depth:

Null object
The Python analogue of null pointer known from other programming languages is None. None is not a null pointer or a null reference but an actual object of which there is only one instance. One of the uses of None is in default argument values of functions, for which see ../Functions. Comparisons to None are usually made using is rather than ==.

Testing for None and assignment:

Using None in a default argument value:

PEP8 states that "Comparisons to singletons like None should always be done with is or is not, never the equality operators." Therefore, "if item == None:" is inadvisable. A class can redefine the equality operator (==) such that instances of it will equal None.

You can verify that None is an object by dir(None) or id(None).

See also ../Operators/ chapter.

Talk:Dean Barker (sailor)

Outmanoeuvred?

 * Ref the recent addition:-  "
 * Barker was clearly outmanoeuvred by Butterworth in all of the five races won by Alinghi. Thus a series that many experts believed should have been won by Emirates Team New Zealand, ended up being markedly one-sided. Barker was criticised by some New Zealand fans for a "lack of coolness under pressure."

 * How can a tactician (Butterworth) outmanoeuvre a helmsman (Barker)? Tacticians outmanoevre tacticians and helmsman outmanoevre helmsman. After the start the helmsman plays a much reduced role in the decision making relating to where to position the boat on the race course. Barker was not out-manoevred by Butterworth and the ETNZ after-guard was not outmanoevred by the Alinghi after-guard. Each team made mistakes.

 * The series was not one-sided. Experts and commentators view the 2007 America's Cup as the closest and most exciting since Australia II won 25 years ago.  Why exciting?  Because in 5 of the races the lead changed hands during the course race.  This is possibly unique in the entire history of the America's Cup. Why the closest? The average winning margin across all races was 24 seconds (each race lasting for over 90 minutes) and 1 race was won by 1 second. 5-2 in isolation looks one-sided but the racing was definitely not one-sided   This article does not have a balanced view and needs modification.  Boatman 07:57, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Ref above, the text has been rmoved from the article by user <IP_ADDRESS>. Boatman 09:42, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

 * When you lose 4 races in a row, no matter how close each race was, the overall outcome is still a trouncing. If the boats and crew were evenly actually matched 50-50 and the results came down purely to chance, and not boat design and skill of the crew, the probability of losing 4 in a row is ½ * ½ * ½ * ½ = 1/16. So that means that there is a 15/16 (94%) chance that Team New Zealand were actually a team of no-hopers vs a 6% chance that it was all just bad luck.

 * Out of 12 Americas Cup races Barker has won just TWO. That abysmal record speaks for itself. His celebrity (married to Mandy Smith) and wealth should not make him immune from criticism. And in fact Many experts do attribute his throwing away early leads in at least two of the races to poor decision making on the part of Barker. Barker is definitely no Butterworth and definitely no Coutts.

 * I have not analysed in detail Barker's AC performance but a couple of obvious comments are, was he responsible for the mast falling down, was he responsible for the boat taking on excessive weight of water? Also decision making is done by the afterguard of 4 people. ETNZ 2007 is a team of 120+ people.  Not sure why you single out Barker as responsible for the defeat. We will never know for example if tactician Terry Hutchinson said to Dean Barker "Tack now" and it was subsequently a bad call that observers then put down to a decision by Barker.  One of the many key factors in winning the America's Cup is afterguard interaction. Read Dalton's interview regarding the pain he put Barker through to see if he was strong enough for an AC campaign after the previous disater. Coutts gave Barker the helm in a previous race.  If he was so bad why did Dalton not choose the triple Olympic medal winner and match race winner available on the ETNZ team for 2007?   Barker may not be the best match racer on the planet but he cannot fairly be portrayed as the man who lost the AC for New Zealand. Boatman 07:48, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Boatman: you are being ridiculous. Barker was in charge. He takes the responsibility.Even if it transpires that Terry Hutchinson made some bad calls - why then did not Barker request that he be replaced? The result is 5:2 down. That is a thrashing. When the All Blacks lost to Australia, McCaws captaincy was rightly called into question. Why not the same for Barker? If Barker had a shred of decency he would fall on his sword; not put his hand out for more hard-earned tax-payers dollars to waste.

 * Do you mean Barker or Dalton in your most recent comments? I did not realize Barker had worked with the NZL government to secure interim funding, I thought Dalton was responsible for securing funding.  Boatman 15:26, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Lgask to Boatman

 * ..that is not the point whether it is Barker or Dalton who directly works for funding.
 * No, the point here is that Wikipedia is a factual encyclopedia. If there is a proof point that Barker put proposals to the NZ Government for interim funding to keep the team together then fantastic please include in the article. If there is a proof point that Barker met Ms Clarke in the pub with tears in his eyes and went on bended knee to ask for some money to get over a cash crisis then great include it in the article.  If there is a proof point that it was Dalton then fantastic and please start and include in a Grant Dalton article.  If the NZ goverment did it unprompted then fantastic, lets include. The point is Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia of facts.Boatman 11:44, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Obviously Barker wants the funding,
 * Yes he does. Boatman 11:44, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

 * .... will pocket it happily if TNZ gets it and will most certainly benefit from it.
 * Yes he will if he remains associated with ETNZ. Boatman 11:44, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Why are you so averse to any sort of negative reference to Mr Barker.
 * Wikepedia requires facts with proof points. eg One year Barker did not qualify for the Olypmics - FACT from published results of the trials. eg Another time Barker did qualify for the Olympic Games - FACT from the ISAF.  Barker went cap in hand for more money - where is the proof point and then include in the article. I am totally neutral re Barker, I have never met him, never heard him speak or interviewed and not knowingly read anything that he has written.  Boatman 11:44, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I gather you are English. If the English soccer team lost four matches in a row at say the World Cup or European Championships, how do you think the English press and the English themselves would react?
 * The English press would react extremely badly, the Scottish press would jump for joy, I would go down to the pub with my mates and bad mouth most of the team and the manager (this all happens far too often nowadays!) but Wikipedia is an unemotional encyclopedia and would record the facts.

I have looked at the edits provided on WP:ANI by User:Limegreen and have formed an opinion. Of course, it is not the job of an admin to resolve content disputes so please take what follows as just the opinion of an uninvolved outsider. The fact that I am an admin gives me no extra clout in a content dispute. I readily admit that I know nothing about yachting so take what follows with the appropriate grains of salt.

 * Barker has had mixed success in the sport of competitive yachting. Of twelve America's Cup races he has helmed, he has won only two.

It is my impression that Lgask is too harsh on Dean Barker. I think it is reasonable to say that Barker has had "mixed success". That's pretty charitable considering he's only won twice out of twelve competitions. On the other hand, one has to ask what the records of other skippers are. Is it typical for other America's Cup skippers to have significantly better win/loss ratios?
 * There have only been 5 America's Cup Cometitions in the last 20 years. There have only been 8 (approx) different helmsman in the 5 competitions over 20 years.  Therefore to state that 'had mixed success in the sport of competitive yachting" based on America's Cup performance is a huge jump.  (To go even further - In the 156 year history of the America's Cup only 4 challenger helmsman have a better record!!) Boatman 13:56, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Reading the source provided by Lgask, it appears that Barker may have been outmanoeuvered by Alinghi but the article does not offer the same harsh criticism that Lgask does. Reading the article, it looks like it was a fairly even competition (Barker even nailed the Swiss with the "sambuka" maneuver) that the Swiss happened to win, perhaps through superior sailing, perhaps through better luck. There's no indication in the article that Barker was incompetent or "out of his league".

Lgask wrote:
 * In the 2007 Americas Cup series in Valencia, Spain, Barker clearly showed he was not at the top level of international yachtsmen. Emirates Team New Zealand, of which he was the skipper, went down decisively 5-2 to the Swiss boat Alinghi. Barker was clearly outmanoeuvred by the Swiss boat in all of the five races won by Alinghi.[1]

It seems reasonable to mention that TNZ lost to Alinghi by 5-2. I think more sources are needed to establish that Barker was "not at the top level of international yachtsmen". Right now, it looks like the personal opinion of Lgask and thus qualifies as unacceptable OR. If you want to criticize someone, put it in the mouth of a reliable source.

Lgask wrote:
 * Childhood friend Hamish Pepper said of Barker; "the biggest thing he probably had over me was financial support. He could study, and sail at the same level as myself, while I had to work to earn it. I wouldn't say it's an advantage he had - it's been a bit of a luxury."

Well, it's sourced and it's not really libellous. The problem, IMO, is that it's unencyclopedic petty trash-talking. Yes, Barker was a rich kid. Perhaps other America's Cup skippers are too? This isn't the sports page or a gossip column. I don't see what this tidbit of juicy gossip-mongering adds to the article. I would take it out.

Hope that helps.

 * Thanks for the constructive intervention. I have added a comment above.  Lets see what Lgask comes back with.  Thanks Boatman 13:56, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

LGask: Barkers has won 2 out of 12 races at Americas cup events. Surely the term 'mixed success' is appropriate. He is most certainly not 'successful'. 'Mixed success' simply means that although he did not reclaim the trophy for NZ, he did put in, according to some anyway, a creditable performance (this is not my own opinion, but I have moderated my language in deference to Boatman).

 * Hi LGask, If 'mixed success' becomes 'mixed success in the America's Cup' you have the basis for a fair statement suitable for an encyclopedia. rgds, Boatman 08:22, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

—Preceding unsigned comment added by Lgask (talk • contribs)

 * It would be better if you could put the assessment of Barker's skill in the mouth of a reliable source. The NZ Herald article says nothing in this regard.  What do other reliable sources say?  It may well be that there is some disagreement as to how good a yachtsman Barker is.  If so, then cite all POVs without giving undue weight to any of them.

 * At the end of the day, it is not our job to assess Barker's skill as a yachtsman. Wikipedia readers don't care what Boatman, Lgask or Richardshusr think of Barker's skill.  Wikipedia readers want to know what reliable sources think of Barker's skill.  As reasonable as it may sound, the leap from "2 out of 12" to "mixed success" is still arguably original research.  Far better to put it in the mouth of a reliable source.

 * --Richard 18:19, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I suggest we retain Hamish Pepper's comment. Barkers background is pertinent to understanding what he has achieved thusfar. The quote is from an impeccable source - the New Zealand Herald - certainly not a tabloid paper. The NZ Herald is NZs largest circulation daily newspaper. The Herald included the quote in its own article about Barker. Obviously the author of the original Herlad article felt mentioning the background of Barker and obtaining the opinion of his childhood friend and fellow yachtsman was important in understanding Barker the man. Nothing 'gossipy' about the quote whatsoever.

The article as it currently stands is fair to Barker, accurately describes events in his life and informs the reader as to some of the reasons for Barker's success as a sailor.

—Preceding unsigned comment added by Lgask (talk • contribs)

 * I continue to disagree. Just because something is published in a newspaper article doesn't make it encyclopedic.  Entire Wikipedia articles are deleted routinely even though they are based on something reported in the newspapers.  The NZ Herald is a reliable source about what Pepper said.  What make Pepper a reliable source about the basis of Barker's skill as a yachtsman?  Is Hamish Pepper notable as a yachtsman or a commentator on yachting?  Seems to me that he is just a school chum that the reporter dug up for a juicy quote with which to whack Barker.

 * Can you provide reliable sources that suggest that Barker's success is due solely or even primarily to his affluent origins? Is it the case that many or even most successful yachtsmen are rich?  Or can it be shown that a significant percentage come from humbler backgrounds?

 * Your attempt to introduce this quote opens up a huge debate which cannot be settled solely on a single quote from a school chum. If there is, indeed, a larger debate about the role of wealth in the sport of yachting, then perhaps the Pepper comment about Barker can be included within the context of the larger debate.  If not, then this smacks of sour grapes from a less-advantaged and less successful school chum (I wouldn't use the word "friend" to describe Pepper).

"not at the top level"
I have removed "Barker clearly showed he was not at the top level of international yachtsmen" as being arguably a violation of WP:BLP. I don't think it really is a violation of WP:BLP. Really, the problem is that, without a reliable source, it is original research. I think the text could be re-inserted if it was cited to a reliable source. The other point would be to maintain a NPOV stance.

It would be good if we could collect quotes from multiple sources characterizing Barker's skill as a yachtsman.

--Richard 18:25, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

 * On balance, I suspect that it might be. First up, Lgask is wrong about Barker's cup record. He also won a race in 2000, making his record 3 of 13 by my count. Of the 5 races in the 2003 America's Cup, Team New Zealand had gear failures in 3 (including a broken mast), and lost the other 2 races by 23 and 7 seconds, which I would consider tight margins. I'm not a yachting expert, but I don't see these type of gear failures as the fault of the skipper. The 2007 America's Cup margins seem closer than the 5-2 scoreline would imply (including a 1 sec loss). It is also worth noting the role of boat speed: Of the last 7 America's Cup, all bar 2 have been whitewashes, so for the loosing team to win any races is doing well. I think "decisively" is quite POV. My reading of the media was more in line with my opinion that the regatta was much more even than the scoreline would imply. A selection of quotes from the herald :
 * In what will go down as one of the closest America's Cups in history
 * Like every race this morning's was an arm wrestle around the entire course.
 * Following the disappointing 2003 defence where they were cleaned out by Alinghi 5-0, Dean Barker and his men have come back and shown why New Zealand have been in every America's Cup match since 1995.
 * Further, to challenge for the America's Cup, Team New Zealand had to win the 2007 Louis Vuitton Cup, which is evidence of Barker being at the top level, I think.
 * And as to the comments by Hamish Pepper. I note in one of the article's about Barker given as a reference, Pepper only has positive things to say about Barker (e.g., "he’s a born leader. He’s very smart and he knows how to get the best out of the guys."). They obviously do know each other quite well, having been to school together, lived and sailed in Europe together. Barker has been Pepper's coach, and Pepper was, it seems, at one time involved in Team New Zealand. I'm not sure what to make of the apparent change in opinion.

Outmanoeuvred?
I can't access the page added to reference the "Barker was clearly outmanoeuvred by the Swiss boat in all of the five races won by Alinghi", but it doesn't seem to match the race descriptions at 2007 America's Cup. Also, I think it is interesting to contrast Lgask's additions to the lead section with the description of Barker's America's Cup record in the America's Cup section.--Limegreen 22:18, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Lgask 02:14, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * LGask: Barker would certainly himself describe his own record as less than exemplary. Grant Dalton said that anything short of returning the Americas Cup trophy to New Zealand would be a failure in his and indeed the whole of Team NZs eyes. There are only a few yachtsman in the world who have the opportunity to take part in these bit regattas. Those who are at the top of their game, currently and historically would obviously be Russell Coutts (the greatest of them all), Dennis Connor, Brad Butterworth, Peter Blake. Dean Barker has not achieved enough yet to enter this top echelon.

 * Someone said Barker had a victory in 2000 - come on - that was when Russell Coutts handed over to him in the dying moments of the final race that had already been won.
 * Hi Lgask, I thought Coutts stayed on shore and Barker helmed the entire race. The official records credit the race (and a total of three wins) to Barker. If  'Russell Coutts handed over to him in the dying moments of the final race that had already been won' then as always lets have the proof point and then the article should state Barker's official record is 3-10 with a qualifying note pointing out that 'the first win was credited to Barker because Russell Coutts handed over the helm to Barker in the dying moments of the final race that had already been won' Boatman 08:22, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Someone said:
 *  I'm not a yachting expert, but I don't see these type of gear failures as the fault of the skipper.
 * That is not the point. Whether or not someone is considered at the top of their game is based on their record of success vs failures, and nothing else. You may be most naturally gifted footballer in the world - suffer a debilitating injury and put out to pasture. You cannot then say that you should receive the accolades for what you could have or would have achieved had you been able to continue on with your career. And Richie McCaw (captain of the All Blacks) will have to bear full responsibility if the All Blacks fail to take out the RWC. He won't be able to blame his forward pack, the lack of a good centre, the toss of the coin etc. In fact success in any field is a combination of talent, opportunity to nurture that talent, and luck, all three in equal measure.

 * So don't for a moment say Barker's record is not 'mixed' simply because he may have done better if there had been no gear failure. And by the way Alinghi also had gear failure in the final Valencia race but still held on to win.

 * Barker's record is certainly mixed. You obviously have an extremely high standards for both giving out praise, and for taking responsibility. Barker's record is certainly mixed, but I don't see how you come back from a broken mast. There are some levels of gear failure that aren't recoverable. If the mast had broken because of some violent gyb, then I might blame Barker, but otherwise not.
 * As for McCaw and the RWC, I certainly wouldn't expect McCaw to take full responsibility. I don't expect the ABs to win, and I think there is someone else who is responsible for that.
 * This isn't about putting Barker on some pedestal. There is room for some balanced criticism, but there is no reason to leave knives in his back.--Limegreen 06:03, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Limegreen highlights the key point in this discussion ie "balanced criticism" is a requirement for an encyclopedia Boatman 08:22, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Alleged WP:BLP violations
Well, there have been complaints by User:Proabivouac and User:John254 about my having protected the "wrong" version of the page, leaving in what they claim are WP:BLP violations. Believe me, if I thought that there were true WP:BLP violations, I would have corrected those first before protecting the page.

However, I'm not interested in getting into a long dispute about whether or not the text in question is a WP:BLP violation or just, as I see it, unencyclopedic text that smacks of original research. Some of it appears to be unbalanced minority POV (i.e. not necessarily false, just undue weight). In my opinion, the advisability and encyclopedicity of the text is marginal and debatable but I'm not willing to get into a dispute to try and defend it.

I am deleting the text in question on the premise that it can always be re-added if a consensus forms to re-insert it and if adequate sourcing is found.

 * Richard, "wrong version" is not a joke where BLP is concerned. Do you have a profession? Imagine you're out of work and are looking for a job in your profession, but can't find any. Now you come across wikipedia, and discover there is an article about you. It says that Richard [your real name] is famously inept, having bungled task after professional task and let all his sponsors (employers, clients) down. Then someone has tracked down someone you knew as a kid who says the only reason you ever got anywhere in life was because of your dad, accompanied by, "Some believe that …" All this in the lead. How would you feel about Wikipedia? What would you do?
 * You are quite wrong if you don't believe these are violations of BLP. "Unencyclopedic text that smacks of original research" and is "unbalanced" is a violation. The time to remove it isn't tomorrow or next week, it's today, right now.Proabivouac 09:08, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

User:Jacobstrouch/sandbox

Hans Moke Niemann is a Dutch-American junior chess prodigy. With and IQ above 145 he already had multiple Ivy League colleges looking at him. He moved around a lot but currently resides somewhere in Connecticut. Here is a quote from Hans himself “ So let me tell u a bit abt myself at 10 yrs old I took the iq test got fucking 145+ which is genius it was so high they couldn't measure it. You are all so ignorant you don't understand how much of an impact. It makes maybe if I was football national champ then you'd give me sole respect but it's still fucking national champion do you know what being national champ at chess shows it shows critical thinking skills shows I'm fucking smart discipline patience and it shows that I work hard af. It takes so much fuckin work to get where I am u don't even understand. If u all played chess you would fuckign understand how good I am but you don't play chess cuz you think it's nerdy and youll get made fun of if you play it. You might say I won't get into Ivy cuz I'm in algebra and taking no honors but u don't understand colleges don't give af abt weighted averages so u could get a c in honors and have the same gpa  as me but unweighted is much lower than mine. So my point is I believe I will get into an ivy I have the motivation I am smart enough to do it so all of u can go fuck yourselves cuz ur all ignorant jealous fucks”. Some day we all hope to see him win a national chess championship.

Adding to synopsis
I propose adding this to the synopsis.

The plot includes multiple versions of a person meeting, either through time travel or dimension hopping; a person apparently being in 2 places at the same time; people traveling back in time to save or kill a loved one or themselves; and Jin-Gyeom and Min-Hyuk fighting. Tae-Yi had an important role in inventing time travel. Jin-Gyeom is indeed the child from the prophecy, and at the end everything is reset to a time line with no time travel.

That way the synopsis would cover the whole series.

There was a complaint about not citing a source? I'm not sure how to interpret that. The source is the series. Isn't that the source for the 2 current paragraphs? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 09:59, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

 * The current two paragraphs merely summarize the plot; your proposed addition is an analysis and interpretation of the plot, which as explained in the manual of style page you were already linked to in the edit summary, requires a secondary source. Your interpretation of the plot does not appear within the series. Martin IIIa (talk) 23:51, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Conejo Players Theatre

Conejo Players Theatre is a performing arts theater in Thousand Oaks, California. Established in 1958, it is the oldest theater in the city -- as well as one of the oldest in Southern California. It hosts a full season of Mainstage shows each year, including musicals and plays -- plus special events, workshops, improv comedy performances, holiday shows, and a long-running children's theatre program taught by theater professionals. The theater was housed in an old barn building for several years, but constructed a new theater after donations from Janss Corporation in 1963. The 185-seat theater is located on S. Moorpark Road.

Marilyn O'Connor performed regularly at the theater. She has later been seen in TV series such as Matlock, 7th Heaven, Frasier, ER, Little Britain USA and American Horror Story. As a child, Kurt Russell participated in several productions at the Players -- as did former Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes and former Disney Channel star Corey Fogelmanis.

Conejo Players Theatre is allegedly haunted.

Essex Wives

Essex Wives was a television documentary series about married women socialising together in Essex, England. It ran for a single series in 2002 and launched the career of Jodie Marsh.

Format
The ITV programme featured the daily lives of a number of women, including Jodie Marsh, which led to her subsequent career. The show used the nickname golden triangle to describe the settlements of Chigwell, Buckhurst Hill and Loughton in the Epping Forest district upon which the series was centered. The area is well known for its high property prices and relative affluence of its residents compared to the national average. Several properties are owned by professional footballers; their spouses, as well as others of a similar stature, have been referred to as WAGs by the tabloid press. They are relatively rich, but do not work regularly and chose to spend most of the day socialising instead.

The programme featured stereotypical activities of these women, such as visiting Jacuzzis, nail bars, tanning, shopping at Prada or performing yoga. It was criticised for giving an inaccurate portrayal of Essex life; towns elsewhere in the county such as Halstead and Colchester or natural features such as the Colne Valley do not generally exhibit the behaviour seen on Essex Wives, including "white stilettos, shiny leatherette handbags or ankle chains". The series pointed out that Chigwell has ten beauty salons and four nail bars, and said that some of the wives had decided to seek modelling jobs for their young children.

Jeff Shulman

Jeff Shulman (born February 18, 1975) is the editor of Card Player Magazine, and an American poker player with a record of success in tournament play, based in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is the son of Jan Shulman and Barry Shulman. Shulman's father, Barry, is an accomplished poker player and CEO of Card Player.

Life and career
Shulman was born in Seattle, Washington and attended the University of Washington.

He finished 7th in the 2000 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $10,000 no limit Texas hold'em main event, winning $146,700 after losing two big pots to eventual winner Chris Ferguson. He also finished in the money in the same event in 2003 (31st place) and 2009 (5th).

Shulman has cashed in several other WSOP and World Poker Tour (WPT) events. He also won a tournament in the Ultimate Poker Challenge's first season, and made the final table of that season's grand final, won by James Van Alstyne.

In 2006, Shulman appeared on Poker Superstars III finishing in the Elite Eight.

Shulman was a member of the 2009 November Nine. Since Harrah's Casino has partnered with Cardplayer Magazine's competitor, Bluff Magazine, Shulman is reported to loathe Harrah's Casino. He reportedly said that if he were to win the WSOP Main Event, he would throw away the bracelet. An article on the Cardplayer website indicates that Shulman's disdain for Harrah's Casino does not stem from their partnership with Bluff Magazine:

"My comments have nothing to do with that, and everything to do with my disappointment in how the World Series is run. It used to be run by people who loved and really cared about poker, and had the players in mind, first and foremost. That mission's been derailed by a few executives who now head the Series."

After qualifying for the 2009 WSOP Main Event final table, Shulman hired Phil Hellmuth as his poker coach. At the final table, Shulman was eliminated in fifth place, cashing for just under $2 million, which is his highest tournament cash to date.

As of January 2024, Shulman's total live tournament winnings is over $3,500,000. The majority of which comes from cashing in the WSOP (over 2.500,000 $)

Shulman has one brother, Michael Shulman, an American writer and owner of the online magazine ShulmanSays. Shulman is married to Christy Devine. They have two children.

Phil Page

Philippe Rausac Page (August 23, 1905 – July 27, 1958) was an American professional baseball player, coach, manager and scout. A left-handed pitcher, he worked in 31 Major League games over four seasons for the Detroit Tigers and Brooklyn Dodgers.

Page was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, and attended Penn State University. He was listed at 6 ft tall and 175 lb.

On September 18, 1928, at the age of 23, Page made his big league debut with the Tigers. In parts of three seasons with the Tigers, Page went 2–3 in 25 games, six of them as a starter. He pitched for the minor league Seattle Indians of the Pacific Coast League from 1931 to 1933 and began the 1934 season as a relief pitcher with the Dodgers. In six games with them, he went 1–0 with an earned run average of 5.40.

As with many pre-1950 pitchers, Page had poor control. In 69$1⁄3$ innings pitched, he walked 44 and struck out only 15.

At the plate, Page went three for 18 for a .167 batting average, while, in the field, he committed two errors for a .926 career fielding percentage.

On September 10, 1929, Page gave up Lou Gehrig's fifth career grand slam. It was a first inning blast in New York.

On May 13, 1934, Page played his final Major League game, but he remained in professional baseball. He became a manager, coach and scout in the New York Yankees' organization, and served six seasons (1947–52) as a Major League coach for the Cincinnati Reds, working under four different managers.

Phil Page died at the age of 52 from a heart attack on July 27, 1958, in Springfield, and was laid to rest in Hillcrest Park Cemetery in his native city.

Retirement/Winter residence
An unregistered user recently insisted that the house was built was a winter residence, not a retirement residence. The official website says: They were retired, they came in the winter. They apparently lived in the house full-time, so it might not have been a winter home. -Will Beback 21:12, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * David Berry Gamble, a second generation member of the Procter and Gamble Company in Cincinnati, had retired from ’ Row.”
 * It was used 4 months out the year. I work at the Gamble House and the term WINTER RESIDENCE is better wording.  David and Mary arrived Pasadena each year about Christmas time and left about Easter time.  During the other months the house was shut up and the family had homes on Lake Michigan and in Ohio.  A retirement home suggests that they lived in the house all year.  Maybe the better wording is a Winter Retirement home??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Happydazed (talk • contribs)
 * The NRHP Inventory-Nomination document for the site states that it was built to be a SUMMER residence. I just added a link to that document as a reference to the article. doncram 19:27, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * As noted by my anonymous predecessor ( I also work at the Gamble House), the NR nomination is quite out of date. Forty years later, it's well documented that the Gambles lived here from about November through April each year and that it was intended for winter season use (see Bosley, "Greene & Greene" (2000) and Mallek (2015) in "Building Paradise," and other sources). JLTrotoux (talk) 22:18, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Hyperbole?
Is it just me, or does this article read a bit breathless? -- "singing off key," "playing together like musicians" I hesitate to edit it myself because I don't know much about the topic, but it did strike me as a bit over the top. E. Ripley 14:26, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I'd say it's mostly just you. Aside from the two rather overwrought metaphors you cite, the style of the article seems to me well suited to both the subject and to an encyclopedia. In fact, insofar as it fails to maintain "...the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article," I'd be inclined to see that as more a virtue than a fault. And, among the endless horrors of style with which Wikipedia abounds (go take a look at Culture of California if you want to see something deserving of being slapped with a critical banner), a bit of literary flamboyance such as this article displays is notable only for its relatively benign effect on the whole project. Almost any WP article you could pick at random commits worse offenses. Leave this one be. Whyaduck 13:48, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't agree that it is mostly just User:E. Ripley. This thing sounds like a joke: "wood that looks lovingly rubbed", "mahogany surfaces are placed in rhythmic sequences", "exposed like an interlocking puzzle". This sort of subjective writing does not belong in Wikipedia. It needs a serious overhaul to remove the flourishes. Mike Dillon 15:04, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

 * P.S. The Culture of California article was just unilaterally rewritten on November 30, 2006. It did not used to have the current issues (although the old version had its own problems because it still read like a broken-off section); see the old version. Mike Dillon 15:20, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, "lovingly rubbed" is certainly a subjective phrase (and a terribly minor offense to encyclopedic sensibilities, in my subjective view), but the other two phrases you cite are not subjective at all. The woodwork in the house is indeed, in fact, in objectively observable reality, "placed in rhythmic sequences" and "exposed like an interlocking puzzle." I see nothing at all wrong with that language. It's good, concrete descriptive language. But you're right if you contend that it just doesn't sound like Wikipedia. Indeed it doesn't. Whyaduck 15:36, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

 * "Rhythmic sequences" is not concrete language except when referring to rhythm. Woodwork does not have "rhythm" since it is not a sound. I'm not sure why you oppose stylistic consistency in Wikipedia. Mike Dillon 15:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

 * How about "Gamble House is a residential ark"? How is that appropriate for an encyclopedia? Mike Dillon 15:50, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Heh. You mean why do I hate America? ;D I don't. I just love Metaphor more. Whyaduck 15:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

The article states:

"Although there is no variation in ceiling height,..."

This isn't true. The smallest room on the ground floor is Mr. Gamble's den, and has a higher ceiling than the other rooms on the first floor. This makes the small den feel a little bigger. Because there is less material between the ceiling of the den and the floor of the boy's bedroom above, you might imagine that Mr. Gamble, sitting at his desk, could hear if his two sons were horsing around upstairs. (The boys bedroom is directly above the den)

Ceiling height on the ground floor is 8'10", except for the den, which is 9'10". Ceiling height on the second floor is 8'8", to give the family quarters a more intimate feeling. Ceiling height in the attic varies, as it is under a pitched roof.

tondelayo 15:03, 24 February 2008

"One of the big wooden panels along the solid wall is actually a secret door that leads to the kitchen"

The door wasn't a secret, it was used regularly. It would be more accurate to call it a hidden door.

Remuller 20:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Attempted Fix
Attempted to remove some of the hyperbole and subjective comments. I also discovered that the last paragraph was copied directly from the official site of the Gamble House. I didn't know how to fix it so I left it, if it's still here in a couple of weeks I'll try to do something with it. Kivaan 20:41, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Suggestion: use some explicit quotes from the "official site", use some explicit quotes from the NRHP Inventory-Nomination document for the property (which I just added link to, within references).  Explicit quotes can carry sensuous quality of language that is desired by some, yet be objectively sourced. doncram 19:30, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

User:Sphilbrick/Essay regarding inclusion criteria for integer articles

When we have an article about an integer, there are wide variety of potential entries. While it's potentially possible to write a prose discussion of the number which will almost certainly include multiple examples of usage, see Pi is a decent example, it is almost inevitable that many of the integer articles will attract short entries written more like a list than expensive prose.

At least in the short term, this is inevitable. Perhaps after some period of time, the material can be organized and written in more of the prose format but in the short term, it is likely that many additions will be short, almost standalone entries.

Most of these articles have some form of organization, with the pure mathematical observations early in the article, a section on the history of the number, and then a variety of entries organized into some groupings such as religious, music or other groupings.

If we look at a specific example say 8, we see a very brief lead, then a number of statements related to the mathematical properties of the number, basic calculations, the etymology of the number a discussion of the glyph, and then a number of examples of ACN use in various places and are generally organized fashion.

Some of the items are properly not referenced. The basic calculations are not referenced per the routine calculations exceptions WP:CALC. the simple statement that it's a composite number, identifying the property divisors and the fact that it is "twice 4 four times 2" also qualifies as not needing a reference.

As a general rule in item probably deserves entry if it includes words such as "smallest", "largest", "only", "first", or words that generally suggest the property is unique to this number. Many of the entries will denote inclusion in a notable subset of the integers. This is generally acceptable, although inclusion in subsets such as "odd integers", or "even integers" are too basic to deserve standalone entry. It may be appropriate to mention that the number is odd or even in passing, but not as a standalone entry.

In general, these entries other than those that qualify as routine calculations should be referenced. At the time of this writing some are but many are not. Inability to find a reference should be viewed as a red flag that the property, even if true, is too obscure to deserve mention.

It's obvious that the integers are used to number many things, for example pages of books, and many entries in a list. In most cases, the fact that the book has a page 8 is not interesting enough to deserve inclusion. There can be exceptions — if the book is organized in such a way that the page numbers carry some meaning, that it may be relevant that something or other is on page 8, but if that is the case, it will be discussed in a reliable source, and merely identifying that some item is on page 8 of some book does not deserve entry. A similar thought process applies to lists, with the exception that if the list only has eight items that might be interesting. If the list has 20 items, talking about the eight item in the list is rarely interesting as a property of eight, but if the list purports to be a complete list of some subject, then noting that there are eight items in the list might deserve mention. Again, simply finding a book with a list of eight items, even if that purports to be a complete list, doesn't itself qualify unless there is discussion in multiple places about the fact that there are eight entries related to the subject.

Jeopardy rule
Most people are familiar with television quiz shows of which Jeopardy is a well-known example. In many quiz shows, the general format is a question for which the contestant has to provide an answer. the Jeopardy format as a small twist, in that answers are provided and the contestant must construct a question associated with the provided answer. It may be useful to consider whether an entry would constitute a potential Jeopardy entry. as an example, if "8" is provided as an answer and the category is "Judaism", then an acceptable response might be "how many days are there in Hanukkah?", but an unacceptable response would be "how many letters are contained in Hanukkah?" the first is an example of something that many people with knowledge of the Jewish religion would think of if presented with the number eight, but the number of letters in the word is happenstance and isn't particularly interesting.

Let's see if we can use this rule to identify candidates and categorize them as acceptable for inclusion, edge cases, or clearly unacceptable

Clearly acceptable

 * *The number of planets in the solar system (while controversial, and under discussion for changing, it is unquestionable that there are multiple reliable sources supporting the statement at this time)

Clearly unacceptable

 * The number of letters in the name "Tombaugh"

While undeniably a correct statement, virtually no one spends time talking about the number of letters in astronomers names. Using the Jeopardy rule,if "8" was the answer and the category was astronomy, I think "How many letters are there in "Tombaugh"?" would not be considered an acceptable response.

Edge cases

 * Messier object M8

While it's undeniable that there is an object by this name, it isn't at all clear that mentioning the number "8" to an astronomer will immediately bring bring to mind the subject. (We might need more feedback from astronomers.) As a complication, some of the objects are better known than others. M31 is one of the more famous ones, and it is possible that mentioning "31" to an astronomer might bring up this galaxy but I don't think the numbers as numbers generally remind astronomers of the objects.

 * NGC 8

The new general catalog numbering is well known among astronomers, arguably less well-known than the Messier numbering, at least among amateur astronomers, but this is arguably close to page number. A number of objects are identified and they are given a number. Once the decision is made to number them with sequential integers there inevitably will be an "8" but I don't think the term "8" naturally evokes a reference to NGC 8. Using the jeopardy rule, if "8" was the answer and the category was astronomy, I think NGC 8 would be disallowed as an acceptable response.

The mystery story rule
It is a common trope in mystery stories for a character to come across some cryptic language, sometimes all text, sometimes numbers, or a mixture. While the task of the character is to solve the code to take the next step in solving the mystery. A common example is for the colleague of the character to notice that the first few numbers represent an area code so it might be a telephone number in the United States. A sequence of numbers starting with 20 might mean it is a telephone number in Egypt as +20 is the way to start an international call to Egypt. If a number could be viewed as a plausible code in a mystery story, it may deserve inclusion.

Clearly acceptable
Area codes, country dialing codes, Dewey Decimal codes(maybe) and the like

Clearly not acceptable
Dewey, Cheatem and Howe has 19 letters, but it would strain credulity that 19 would be a code suggesting that a former client of this law firm ought to be investigated.

Jersey numbers in sports
In early iterations of many of these articles, lists of sports figures who wore the jersey number were included. On the surface this seems like a challenging problem. ask almost any serious sports fan who wore number 23, and almost all will immediately answer "Michael Jordan". That would easily pass the Jeopardy rule, and many people would agree that it has a stronger claim to entry than, say 23 (film). however, many major sports teams currently have a player wearing number 23, almost all of whom meet our notability requirements. if we aren't going to include all of them, we have to have a way to decide which are in and which are not in. In one discussion Talk:20_(number), it was discussed limiting inclusion to "particularly noteworthy personalities", but I trust it is obvious that this would be a challenging rule to define uncontroversially. Given the existence of List of retired numbers, one solution would be to include a link to the appropriate section number in each integer article. We may still have to discuss whether such a link longs in a section labeled sports, or ought to be placed in the see also section. This approach would obviate the need to distinguish between those deserving inclusion in the integer list and those not deserving inclusion. This leaves unsettled the issue of active athletes wearing a particular number. List of active numbers is a red link, and may have notability challenges (as opposed to retired numbers which are discussed extensively in sports literature) but if someone creates that article, we could include a link to the relevant subsection.

See 20 for an example, where a hatnote has been added to the sports section.

Music
It is not uncommon for artists, bands, albums, or songs to have a title that is a simple integer or unobvious derivative (20+). Some of these entries are contained on dab pages, so, for example, the dab page 20 lists a number of albums and a song. one option would be to include all such examples on the dab page, then add a hat note to the integer number page pointing to the hatnote. the problem with this approach is that dab pages point to articles, which means the artist, band, album or song has to be notable on its own. While many of the entries on an integer page will have a link to an article, and virtually all should be referenced, it is not a requirement that the individual item be notable enough to justify a standalone article. Thus while some individual songs may be notable and have an article, some songs will not, and therefore not belong on the dab page. If someone is interested in songs with the title 20, they are likely to be interested in:

 * 20 by Ebbo Kraan
 * 20 by Seventeen

There are other examples, but the first is an artist who doesn't have an article, a second artist has an article but that song is not mentioned in the article, so a dab cannot be justified.

A better option might be the use of tables, for example:

Synopsis
Two days after being shot by Junior, Tony remains in an induced coma. Doctors encourage Carmela and others to talk to him and play music in hope of recovery. However, they also warn that he could die or be left with brain damage. Carmela, Christopher, Meadow and Barbara keep a vigil over Tony, while Janice sobs uncontrollably whenever she sees him. Meanwhile, a confused Junior is held in custody and denies that he shot his nephew. Silvio assumes Tony's responsibilities as acting boss, and it is decided to cut Junior off from the Soprano family, making Tony the official boss if he survives. Chris, Paulie, and Vito vie for small opportunities to assist Tony's family during the crisis, such as sending presents to his room and bickering over giving a ride home to A.J.

Alone with Tony, Carmela passionately expresses her love for him. Meadow reads him a translation of the poem Pater Noster by Jacques Prévert. Meanwhile, A.J. becomes increasingly withdrawn and avoids Tony's hospital room, claiming to have a stomach flu. He admits to Meadow that he is embarrassed and angered by the actions of his family. A.J. finally gathers enough courage to talk to his father when they are alone, and vows to kill Junior. Afterward, he admits to Carmela that he has flunked out of college. She looks at him in stunned disbelief but holds in her anger and sends him away.

At Satriale's, Chris encounters FBI Agents Dwight Harris and Ron Goddard, who ask him to pass along any information he might hear about terrorist activities. At the Bada Bing, he talks briefly with two Arab men who are now regulars there.

While he is in a coma, Tony has a long dream-like experience that is woven through the episode.

 * Tony awakens as a precision optics salesman, without his New Jersey accent, in a hotel room in Costa Mesa, California. That night, he notices a strange light glowing on the horizon as he looks out the window, and at the hotel bar watches a news report about a nearby brush fire. The next morning, he goes to a convention and is asked for ID to gain admittance. Tony realizes that he has someone else's wallet and briefcase, belonging to a man named Kevin Finnerty of Kingman, Arizona, to whom he bears a resemblance.

 * When Tony returns to a bar where he thinks he unintentionally picked up these items, some business travelers overhear him telling his story to the bartender who, when asked what Costa Mesa is like, replies, "Around here, it's dead." The group invite Tony to join them for dinner, during which he discusses his 'life' in more detail, alluding to a midlife crisis. As he and his group leave, Tony notices a religious commercial on TV, which shows the question, "Are sin, disease, and death real?" Outside the hotel, Tony makes a pass at a woman from the group. She responds at first but then cuts him off, telling him she saw his face when he got off the phone with his wife (whose voice is not Carmela's). Suddenly, a helicopter spotlight shines on the pair (the lights of the hospital surgery room). The woman says, "They’re looking for a perp."

Tony briefly awakens from his coma and rips out his breathing tube. The dream resumes when he is placed in another coma.

 * Tony checks into a different hotel under Finnerty's name. Two Buddhist monks overhear him checking in and, thinking he is Finnerty, confront him over installing a faulty heating system at their monastery. Tony tells them that he's not Finnerty, which angers the monks; they scuffle briefly and the monks flee, leaving Tony shocked at the violence. The next morning, the hotel elevator is out of order, so Tony takes the stairs. As he is walking down, he slips and falls; when brought to an emergency room, he is told by the doctor that aside from having a minor concussion, his MRI scan shows some dark spots on his brain caused by lack of oxygen. The doctor states that this indicates early stages of Alzheimer's disease. When the doctor leaves him, Tony says "I'm lost" to himself. After he returns to his hotel room, he picks up the phone but hangs up before dialing, while the beacon of light flashes on the horizon.

First appearances

 * Ahmed and Muhammad: Muslim associates of Christopher Moltisanti who hang out at the Bada Bing.

Title reference

 * In Tony's dream, when Tony tells the businessmen at the bar that he is 46 years old and does not know where "[he] is going," Lee (the woman from the business group) tells Tony to "join the club."

Production

 * Most interior hospital scenes of the episode were filmed at the North Hollywood Medical Center, Los Angeles, with additional exterior and interior scenes filmed at the New Jersey Institute of Technology
 * James Gandolfini uses his real voice in his comatose dream instead of Tony Soprano's strong Jersey accent.
 * The interior of the hospital lunch room is actually "The Highlander Club" (formerly called "The Pub") inside the Campus Center at NJIT.
 * The interior of the hospital is the same hospital from the TV show Scrubs.
 * The credits do not mention the actress providing the voice of Tony's wife in his dream, though the writers have stated the voice is of a generic New Jersey actress and not intended to be anyone previously featured on the series. On the A&E syndication rebroadcast, the voice is credited on the closed captioning as 'Carmela's voice'.
 * This episode was shown at the season's premiere party instead of the first installment, "Members Only."
 * This is the only episode of the series directed by David Nutter and the eighth of nine episodes for which David Chase receives an individual writing credit.

References to prior episodes

 * Carmela tells Tony that she regrets telling him he would go to Hell when he dies. This occurred in the pilot episode.
 * Lee is curious how Tony made the jump from selling patio furniture to precision optics. Tony mentioned selling patio furniture on Route 22 as an alternative life during a conversation with Meadow in the season one episode "College," and in a therapy session with Dr. Melfi in season 1.
 * When Vito Spatafore talks about Eugene Pontecorvo's suicide, he notes that perhaps Eugene killed himself because of closeted homosexuality. This is a reference to Vito's own homosexuality, which was exposed in the season five episode "Unidentified Black Males."

Other cultural references

 * Vito says Junior "Marvin Gayed" his nephew, a reference to the murder of the singer Marvin Gaye by his own father.
 * As a comment on A.J.'s long hair, Paulie Walnuts addresses him as "Van Helsing," (a reference to the vampire hunter in the 2004 film) and Rosalie Aprile greets him as "Fabio" (the model and advertising spokesperson of the '80s and '90s).
 * Carmela mentions a trip to Long Beach Island.
 * Policemen tell Carmela they have to ask her about Tony's knowledge of the Kennedy assassination after Junior mentioned some details about it to them. They reference The McGuire Sisters and Sam Giancana. The McGuire Sisters were a popular singing trio from the 1950s–60s, whose member Phyllis McGuire was noted for dating gangster Giancana.
 * When Christopher meets the FBI agents at the store, he says, "Oh, Sheriff of Nottingham, my kingdom for a mortadell." This is a reference, first to the legend of Robin Hood, then to William Shakespeare's play Richard III, when, after Richard is unhorsed in the midst of battle, he desperately cries out, "A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!"
 * The reporter asks A.J., "would you call it, Growing Up Soprano?", alluding to the 1960 book Growing Up Absurd.
 * Meadow reads a translation of Jacques Prévert's "Pater Noster" to Tony.
 * A.J. tells Tony about the Shelby Mustang GT500, noting that it is cheaper than the BMW M3.

Music

 * The song Carmela plays for Tony in the hospital first is "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple. This was the same song played in the series' second season premiere, "Guy Walks Into a Psychiatrist's Office...", in a scene where Tony crashed his truck into a barricade.
 * The second song Carmela is heard playing in Tony's hospital room is "There's a Moon Out Tonight" by The Capris.
 * The song Carmela says she was playing in Tony's car an entire weekend at Long Beach Island and now plays in his hospital room is "American Girl" by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers.
 * When Tony is waiting at the bar, "The Happy Organ" by Dave "Baby" Cortez can be heard. This song was also used in the season 3 episode "Fortunate Son."
 * The song playing in Bada Bing is "Spitfire" by The Prodigy.
 * The song playing at the end of the episode, where Tony returns to his hotel room and picks up the phone but ceases dialing, is Moby's "When It's Cold I'd Like to Die" with vocals by Mimi Goese. Just before that, while Tony is kicking off his shoes, an instrumental version of "Day After Day" is heard.

Reception
"Join the Club" was watched by 9.18 million American viewers on its premiere date.

Since its premiere, "Join the Club" has frequently been singled out by critics as one of the best episodes of the series. Edie Falco's performance was highly praised.

Lesson summary

 * Publicity for your motion picture
 * Soon you will be making your own motion pictures and looking for a distributor. You will need to create as much publicity as possible.  An editing workshop disk is an inexpensive option.

 * When to begin
 * The design of an editing workshop is different if you are planning the editing workshop before it is filmed versus after it is filmed.

 * Filming for multimedia
 * An editing workshop is classified as multimedia. If you are going to take full advantage of an editing workshop disk, you need to documentary footage 10 seconds before and after each scene and you need to mike the director.

 * Analyze your footage and your goals
 * Each scene requires a totally different emphasis.

The Basic contents of an editing workshop disk

 * Finding the scene
 * To create an editing workshop for dialog editing, you need a scene which stands by itself. It must make sence when pulled out of the rest of the movie.

 * The overview movie
 * The overview movie is more than just the dailies cut apart and placed into chronological order. The overview movie is also a tour of the movie set and the most entertaining part of the disk.

 * The audio edit
 * In a conversation, the audio edit is the first step. This can be shown after the fact or the selection process can be shown, either as part of the overview movie or as a separate story.

 * Possible picture edits
 * You must decide if the editing workshop should show multiple possible edits for the picture which emphasizes one actor over another.

Maryville railway station

Maryville railway station (NS687620) was opened in 1878 at Maryville, a small community in the Uddingston area to the south-east of Glasgow, Scotland on the old Glasgow, Bothwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge Railway between Shettleston and Hamilton. Clydeside and Bredisholm collieries were also served by the station.

History
The station was opened by the North British Railway to serve the Maryville area and its collieries in 1878 on the Glasgow, Bothwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge Railway route. The route was later known as the London and North Eastern Railway's Hamilton Branch. The line was closed to passengers in 1955 and to freight traffic on 4 October 1964. Passenger trains continued to run to Bothwell until 4 July 1955.

Infrastructure
A signalbox stood at the west end of the station with its two platforms and a pedestrian footbridge on the double track line. The main station buildings with the ticket office and waiting room on the southern side together with a shelter on the northern side. Road access was provided on both sides of the station. The signalbox was replaced by a ground frame in 1940, controlling the access to a short branch to Clydeside and a 1-mile 8 chain branch to Bredisholm collieries. In 1910 Maryville is no longer present, the northern platform having been replaced by three sidings and later four, entered from the west where the signal box is located. Uddingston West station stood close by, just to the east.

Remains on site
The Maryville motorway interchange (M73 / M74) runs across much of the old station site (its location was almost exactly at the junction from the A74 leading to the southbound M74).
