She is a treat to watch on screen".

Surabhi has marked her debut in Malayalam with the 2018 film Kuttanadan Marpappa in which Kunchacko Boban plays the lead. Her next release in Malayalam, director Sugeeth's fantasy-horror film Kinavalli was well received and opened to positive reviews. Her character in the film was appreciated with Deccan Chronicle and The Times of India stating that she, along with the other actors in the film, "delivered a commendable performance" and "performed well" respectively, while K.R. Rajeesh from Nowrunning.com wrote "Surabhi is the pick of the debutants and her notable performance keeps the grace intact while considering the fantasy theme."

Her first release in 2019 was the Malayalam film An International Local Story directed by the established actor/comedian Harisree Ashokan. She was later seen in My Great Grandfather with actor Jayaram. She essayed a cameo role in Margamkali directed by Sreejith Vijayan with whom she had earlier worked in Kuttanadan Marpappa and in Kalidas Jayaram-starrer Happy Sardar.

Güttingen

Güttingen is a municipality in the district of Kreuzlingen in the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland.

History
The earliest traces of human settlement in the area now occupied by the municipality is the Stone Age settlement at Rotfarb/Moosburg which dates from the 4th millennium BC. During the Early Middle Ages there was an Alamanni grave yard in the area. The modern village of Güttingen is first mentioned in 799 as Cutaningin though this comes from a 9th Century copy of the earlier record. In 1155 it was mentioned as Guthingen. The major landlords in Güttingen were the Bishop of Constance and the Abbey of St. Gall. Between 1159 and 1357 the Freiherr of Güttingen were mentioned as landlords and owner of Vogtei In 1359, it became part of the bailiwick of the Lords of Breitenlandenberg. The Bishop of Constance reacquired the Diocese's rights and property in the village in 1452. He held onto these rights until 1798. The bishop appointed a chief bailiff who ruled and held the low court for the village in the castle.

By 1275 there was a church in Güttingen. The right to appoint the church's priest was probably held by the Freiherr of Güttingen. During the Protestant Reformation, the majority in the village converted to the new faith. However, from 1554 to 1848, Kreuzlingen Abbey held the right to appoint the priest. The village church became a shared church, and has remained shared by Catholics and Protestants.

Agriculture, shipping and fishing were traditionally the main economic activities in Güttingen. In the 19th century cattle and dairy farming replaced some of the traditional agriculture. A dairy cooperative opened in 1861. Vineyards were replaced with fruit orchards in the early 20th century. In 1920, the agricultural cooperative was founded.

Neither the Seestrasse (Lake Road, built in 1840) or the Seetalbahn (Lake Valley Railroad, opened in 1870) produced any economic growth in the village. In 1835, a Türkisch Rotgarn (an Alizarin red color) dye-works opened in the village. By 1900, an embroidery factory had also moved into Güttingen. In addition to large scale agriculture and a fruit trading company in the late 20th century, most of jobs in the village are in medium commercial and industrial businesses.

The Best FIFA Men's Player is an association football award presented annually by the sport's governing body, FIFA, to the world's best men's player. The award was formerly named as FIFA World Player of the Year, which was merged with France Football 's Ballon d'Or in 2010 to become the FIFA Ballon d'Or in a six-year partnership.

History
In 2010, the FIFA World Player of the Year award combined with the Ballon d'Or to create the FIFA Ballon d'Or in a six-year partnership. FIFA presided over the FIFA Ballon d'Or after agreeing to pay £13million for the merge of the two major player awards with France Football. The six editions of the FIFA Ballon d'Or were dominated by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, as part of their ongoing rivalry. In 2016, the Ballon d’Or again lost its ‘FIFA’ tag and would be voted for exclusively by journalists, while the FIFA World Player of the Year award — which ran from 1991 to 2009 — was resurrected, this time as The Best FIFA Men's Player.

According to reports, FIFA’s decision not to renew the deal was made in order to improve the organization’s strained relationship with England’s FA. This was based on the fact the annual ceremony was held in Zurich – and new FIFA president Gianni Infantino wanted to move the next one to London.

Criteria and voting
The selection criteria for the players of the year are sporting performance, as well as general conduct on and off the pitch.

The votes are decided by media representatives, national team coaches, and national team captains. In October 2016, it was announced that the general public would also be allowed to vote. Each group has 25% of the overall vote.

Herbert George Simms

Herbert George Simms (30 November 1898 –28 September 1948) was an English architect who worked as an architect for Dublin Corporation.

Early life and education
He was the eldest of six children of George William Simms, a train driver and former shepherd, originally of Fawley, Buckinghamshire and his wife Nellie (née Worster) originally of Hemel Hempstead. His father had four older children from a previous marriage. He lived with the family on Prince of Wales Road, Kentish Town and was educated at the Haverstock Industrial and Commercial School. By 1911 the family had moved to 33 Victoria Road, with Herbert the oldest of the children still at home.

Military career
During the First World War he served in the Royal Field Artillery. He was awarded an ex-service scholarship of £150 and tuition fees which allowed him to study architecture at Liverpool University.

Architectural education
He began studies in October 1919 but had to abandon them for financial reasons when the three years ended. He had received the Certificate in Architecture in 1921 and passed the third and fourth years of the Diploma course. On grounds of previous office work and the standard of his studies he was permitted to sit the course for the Certificate in Civic Design which he was awarded in March 1923.

Architectural career
After university he moved to Dublin, where he worked for a while in the office of Aubrey Vincent O'Rourke. In February 1925 he was appointed temporary architect to Dublin Corporation, working under Horace Tennyson O'Rourke, a role that was gradually extended and lasted until December 1927. In 1926 he was authorised to visit London, Liverpool and Manchester to examine the latest developments in flats.

In 1932 or 1933 a separate housing architect's department was formed to focus on the building of new houses and Simms was appointed to the new role of Corporation housing architect. He immediately recruited staff to work in the department. In the sixteen years he was in the post he was responsible for the construction of 17,000 residences, including both flats and houses.

His work on flats showed influences by Michel de Klerk, Jacobus Oud and Johannes van Hardeveld.

Personal life
He married Eileen Clarke, daughter of Garda Superintendent Thomas Clarke on 30 September 1929.

Death
After Horace O'Rourke retired in 1945, the pressure on Simms increased.

He had already suffered one nervous breakdown fifteen years before and on 28 September 1948 he took his own life by throwing himself under a train at Dún Laoghaire. A suicide note said that he felt overwork was threatening his sanity. He was buried in Deans Grange Cemetery.

Solar System, technical

The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly. Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest are the eight planets, with the remainder being smaller objects, the dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies. Of the objects that orbit the Sun indirectly—the natural satellites—two are larger than the smallest planet, Mercury.

The Solar System formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud. The vast majority of the system's mass is in the Sun, with the majority of the remaining mass contained in Jupiter. The four smaller inner system planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are terrestrial planets, being primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer system planets are giant planets, being substantially more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest planets, Jupiter and Saturn, are gas giants, being composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are ice giants, being composed mostly of substances with relatively high melting points compared with hydrogen and helium, called volatiles, such as water, ammonia and methane. All eight planets have almost circular orbits that lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic.

The Solar System also contains smaller objects. The asteroid belt, which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, mostly contains objects composed, like the terrestrial planets, of rock and metal. Beyond Neptune's orbit lie the Kuiper belt and scattered disc, which are populations of trans-Neptunian objects composed mostly of ices, and beyond them a newly discovered population of sednoids. Within these populations, some objects are large enough to have rounded under their own gravity, though there is considerable debate as to how many there will prove to be. Such objects are categorised as dwarf planets. The only certain dwarf planet is Pluto, with another trans-Neptunian object, Eris, expected to be, and the asteroid Ceres at least close to being a dwarf planet. In addition to these two regions, various other small-body populations, including comets, centaurs and interplanetary dust clouds, freely travel between regions. Six of the planets, the six largest possible dwarf planets, and many of the smaller bodies are orbited by natural satellites, usually termed "moons" after the Moon. Each of the outer planets is encircled by planetary rings of dust and other small objects.

The solar wind, a stream of charged particles flowing outwards from the Sun, creates a bubble-like region in the interstellar medium known as the heliosphere. The heliopause is the point at which pressure from the solar wind is equal to the opposing pressure of the interstellar medium; it extends out to the edge of the scattered disc. The Oort cloud, which is thought to be the source for long-period comets, may also exist at a distance roughly a thousand times further than the heliosphere. The Solar System is located 26,000 light-years from the centre of the Milky Way galaxy in the Orion Arm, which contains most of the visible stars in the night sky. The nearest stars are within the so-called Local Bubble, with the closest Proxima Centauri at 4.25 light-years.

Efficiency is the key component. Efficiency of code. Efficiency of mechanical design. Of energy use.

For sight, breaking things down into chunks. Maybe, have vision translate things into 3D, robots then process and orient themselves in 3D space in bits, and this translates into mechanical movement. But would that take up too much computing power? Could algorithms be written efficiently enough?

Air muscles - could they be designed well enough to make them aesthetically pleasing, but also powerful? Noise seems like a problem with air muscles. Also, if they are not designed well, they may be jerky in movement. How far along is the design of chemically driven artificial muscles? The cost and the state of the art seems prohibitive.

Suppose you tell a robot to do a task. It must break that task down into chunks, and create an executable system of steps to complete the task. Language processing is a must.

The robot must look non threatening. The robot must look at least like nothing out of the ordinary. You see a chair, and it looks normal - just like a chair. You see an iPod and it looks nice, it looks expensive, but it is just an iPod. It is functional. A robot must be like this.

What ways could voice synthesis be made to sound okay? Not like a robot, but like a friendly, anthropomorphic-like voice? Why is it so robotic sounding at the moment? Maybe this is a good starting point because decent code may exist, and it may be a necessary first step that requires little funding.

How can i get this done ?
Dear Members, I have been checking out since months about some pages which are blocked due to recreation again and again since the people who created those pages were either blocked or banned or in some cases just the SUBJECT is protected from creation, although the SUBJECT passes wp:gng and notability criteria and have enough coverage to get a Stand alone article, My question is how can these pages be created which are blocked and have been salted earlier, but now they have significant coverage, cuz if someone creates a page by a previously banned user they might can get blocked as well. Amit Bhadana is one of the example of such page, he is a digital star in India having one of the largest subscribers group on his YouTube channel after Bhuvan Bam, yet he was previously recreated and now requires admin access.

some of his significant coverages are below

Thanks Worldnpeace (talk) 07:08, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello and welcome to the Teahouse. If you wish to create an article that is protected from creation due to repeated recreation by a blocked user, you should create it as a draft using Articles for Creation; if the draft is approved, the reviewer will arrange to move it to the proper title.  You could also ask the blocking administrator about it(whose name should be given in the notice of protection). 331dot (talk) 07:34, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Worldnpeace forgot to mention that the article was in fact deleted less than a year ago after a community discussion where the overwhelming consensus was that the subject was not notable. The title was subsequently create protected due to repeated recreations, and the draft title has also been create protected recently. But contacting one of the protecting admins is of course still possible. --bonadea contributions talk 07:44, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I would further add that large numbers of YouTube followers does not by itself meet the notability criteria; what matters is if the person gets significant coverage in independent reliable sources. This could be the case for someone with 50 followers or 50 million followers; conversely, someone could have millions of followers and not be notable, because no one has written about them. If the article you want to create was deleted due to a discussion, you must address the reasons for deletion given in the discussion to recreate the article. 331dot (talk) 07:54, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Article blocked
Hello,

Can you help me to unblock my article? I can't put it back in my sandbox or publish it. There seem to be a conflict and the error message is "This sandbox is in the article namespace.

Userspace drafting question
Hello all! Quick question for those more experienced than I in Userspace drafting. I want to begin working on an article which doesn't exist. I've read the drafting articles in detail but I was curious if editing in a Mainspace draft is better convention or preferred than editing in my Userspace/article? (E.g., draft:mainspace versus draft:userspace/article or draft:userspace)

Also: if I edit within my Userspace are non-logged in users able to edit it? Are logged-in users able to? Perhaps I can grant access to specific logged-in users which allows them to also edit in my Userspace?

Hopefully these questions make sense. Thanks for your time. --Abermuffin (talk) 15:47, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * It is better to create it in Draft space, following the guidelines at WP:YFA and using the wizard there to create the draft.  Anyone will be able to see it and edit it, wherever you create the draft.  You cannot limit it to specific other editors.  Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit.  RudolfRed (talk) 16:16, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Possible plagiarism in an article with Portuguese references; I do not speak Portuguese.
I was doing some simple editing in the article Gustavo Franco. I noticed that the language seemed very scholarly and then I came across a section that appeared to be cut off and did not make sense. There are a number of reasons for this excluding plagiarism and if the references were in English I would start there. What would you advise? I am very willing to believe that I am worrying about nothing except some sentences that got forgotten in an edit. Thank you bobdog54 (talk) 20:24, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

 * I speak Portuguese if you need someone. deisenbe (talk) 10:48, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I am not certain but maybe the page (or parts of it) was a direct translation of its Portuguese article. If this is the case (particularly if a translation software is used), it is bound to have some parts that would not make sense. Aside from discussing it in the article's Talk page, I suggest that you rephrase the plagiarized contents especially if you have access to the text it was copied from.

Iran—Saudi Arabia war
Hello everybody!, I just watched on CNN an interview with Adel al-Jubeir and he said the attack by Iran is an "act of war" if proven. Then my question is, shouldn't we start such article? Thanks for your patience! --CoryGlee (talk) 20:35, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello and welcome. If you are a referring to an article about a war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, countries can commit acts of war without declaring a formal state of war between them.  The Saudi Foreign Minister can articulate his government's view on the incident without a formal declaration of war by that government. Unless there is a formal declaration of war, or some other form of sustained conflict, I'm not sure another article is needed. There is an article about the recent attack itself, 2019 Abqaiq–Khurais attack, and an article about the Saudi Arabian–Yemeni border conflict (2015–present). 331dot (talk) 21:01, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

KT talk page
I previous inquired about this in the 'Help with an Article' above but then decided to move it to a new conversation.....
 * I wanted to ask about archiving conversations related to an article talk page that I have a COI with, which is the KT article talk page.  I would like to make some additional requests for edits but... am somewhat reluctant since I think it looks bad and it is getting fairly cluttered up with these types of requests and rejections. Any suggestions for this article's talk page history? LorriBrown (talk) 21:37, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * More details about archiving can be found in WP:ARCHIVE and it's OK, for the most part, to be WP:BOLD. Like most things on Wikipedia, however, if the archiving turns out to be contentious, it can be undone and discussion about it should then take place on the relevant talk page. For reference, archiving a talk page is not mandatory, but it can make talk pages which have been posted on so many times that much easier to read and navigate. At the same time, archiving shouldn't really be used to hide comments just for the sake of hiding them per WP:OWN. Those old edit requests might be an eyesore to you, but their being declined isn't perhaps as important perhaps as the reasons why they were declined and it may actually be helpful to others hoping to make a similar request to leave them as is. Talk:Kent Tate has only seven threads and doesn't (at least in my opinion) seem nearly long enough to merit any archiving simply based upon page size. It's only a little over 19,000 bytes which is still quite a way from the size of 75,000 bytes generally suggested for archiving. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:40, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Since you have a COI with the article in question, a decision to archive the talk page might invite scrutiny. I second 's advice. However, if the talk page does end up getting closer to 75,000 bytes in the future and you would like help with archiving, feel free to let me know. Clovermoss (talk) 22:43, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi . Welcome to the Teahouse. As pointed out above by Littlest Pet Shop, the Teahouse is really intended only to be a place for asking questions about Wikipedia; it's not a general online forum for discussing things unrelated to Wikipedia. So, if you have a question about editing, feel free to ask below. If you have a question about a specific Wikipedia article (perhaps you think there's a way it can be improved), then you can discuss that on the article's talk page, but be aware that Wikipedia is not really a forum for a general discussion about the subjects of Wikipedia articles.In addition, please do not edit posts made by other editors like you did here as explained on this page. The word you changed wasn't a "typo", but there was no real need to "fix" it even if it was. I'm sure you were only trying to help out, but it's best to leave another editor's posts as is unless there's a really good Wikipedia policy or guideline based reason (like some of the ones listed in the page I linked to above) to change them. If you find something about the post confusing or odd, you can always ask for clarification. Finally, please try to remember to sign your posts as explained here. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:11, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Hordaland, Norway
The Wikipedia article at List of municipalities in Hordaland, Norway does not have Odda listed and therefore only has 32 municipalities instead of 33. Could someone add it with the appropriate flags and maps?

Thanks,Redriv (talk) 21:15, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello, . Welcome to the Teahouse. Whilst someone here might be willing to make that addition, often the best place to seek a clear change to an article is to post the request directly on the relevant article(s) talk page(s). I note that the matter was raised there in 2009 and again in 2016, but that the editor who I suspect was going to change it died shortly thereafter. Nick Moyes (talk) 21:36, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * That would be Talk:List of municipalities in Hordaland, Norway. Because that page has "fewer than 30 watchers", you might need to post a notice about your request at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Norway with a link to it (e.g. Talk:List of municipalities in Hordaland, Norway if you named the new section on the talk page "Odda". —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 06:15, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Oldest living man
In Costa Rica there is a man named José Uriel de los Ángeles Delgado Corrales, who was born on march 10, 1900, this means that as today he must be the oldest man alive and one of the longest living person of all times. Here is the official reference from our civil authority:

Why change back to the original bad grammatical errors and misspellings?
It seems that my little corrections keep getting changed back to the original text that contained errors. Is it because so many other outlets use Wikipedia articles that to change the source would diminish their veracity, no matter how incorrect the source was, grammatically or otherwise? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brainsmetbrawn (talk • contribs) 2019-09-22T00:27:45 (UTC)

 * Hello, . I don't see examples of your little corrections getting changed back to the original text, apart from the inappropriate reformatting of dates in Saaho. But in answer to your suggestion: no. Wikipedia is constantly being edited, hopefully to improve it. Anybody is welcome to reuse material from it as long as they comply with the licence, but it is up to the reusers to decide what they want to do about Wikipedia changing. --ColinFine (talk) 23:48, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Looking at the history page, I notice that there were something like 30 edits within the 24 hours after you made your change (about 10 of which were reverts). I don't know just what's the reason for there suddenly being so much activity on this page, but it certainly makes it more tedious to dig through and find out exactly what happened when.  Anyway, the current version does have your changes in it, but it's easy to imagine that you looked at it at some point in time when your change had been reverted, and which was subsequently restored.  Fabrickator (talk) 00:12, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * HI . One possible reason that you're changes were reverted might've been because you didn't leave an edit summary explaining why the change was needed. Other editors obviously cannot to read your mind; so, even something you feel is a simple change might not be so simple. Leaving an edit summary, even a brief one, explaining the reasons behind the edit at least gives some clarification as to why the edit was made. Ideally, you should, whenever possible, either link to or refer to the relevant policy or guideline which the change is based upon, but any explanation is almost always better than no explanation. In addition, Wikipedia doesn't have a particular house style when it comes to which English is use in an article; so, something is written in British English is not any better or worse than something written in American English. The same applies to date formats as well: 22 September 2019 is just as acceptable as September 22, 2019. Which national variety of English or which date format to use depends on various things, but the important points are to be consistent and not just completely change things for the sake of changing them or personal preference.Another thing I notice, is that you're marking all of your edits as "minor edits", even ones which probably shouldn't have be marked as such. Please read WP:MINOR for more on this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:44, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

 * and all other editors ... I'm going to use one of the changes made to Halloween by Brainsmetbrawn to make a point:
 * Other Jaycees followed suit with their own versions ...
 * was changed to
 * Other Jaycees followed suit with their versions ...
 * I presume that the basis for this change was a belief that "own" is superfluous in this context. But omitting "own" leaves the reader wondering whether or not the  different versions are intended to be distinct. The point I want to make is that editors should give  deference to the existing text. Every once in a while, this would save us from a change that never should have been made, and all the subsequent activity that's likely to occur when one dares to revert such a change.

Help with an Article
I wanted to ask if there is a way to archive older conversations that have occurred on articles that are not currently relevant, for example. the NPOV discussion on the BLP article SAT talk page? Thank you, LorriBrown (talk) 16:40, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi there, . Yes, there are a few ways to archive old discussions. I will archive the discussion on the talk page you have specified. Once done, look at the edit summary and follow the link to OneClickArchiver. You can also see how it works when I use it. Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 16:46, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Also see Help:Archiving a talk page. Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 16:47, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not fully convinced that archiving the only other discussion thread on that page (which took place just two months ago) was really the best thing to do. You could either have simply left it there, closed it with a box and a summary of any consensus, or collapsed it with /  templates. In my view, rushing to archive a recent thread hides from view the fact that there has been editor interaction, and that's not a good thing to do, and forces an editor to wade through archives they needn't have to. Either way, I hope you will ensure there will be a clearly visible link to the archived subpage? Nick Moyes (talk) 17:28, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Thank you for archiving that conversation. Can the talk page include a list of the archived content... or is this not needed for article talk pages?  Perhaps other editors are very familiar with this process and would know how to locate the conversation if they needed to.  Sorry if that is an odd question.LorriBrown (talk) 17:18, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Regards, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 17:40, 21 September 2019 (UTC) thats not an odd question at all. Yes, an archive box should be left whenever discussions are archived, so that users can easily navigate there. I have reverted the archive (see reason by Nick Moyes) so an archive box doesn't need to be included. Regards, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 17:47, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Draft (Draft:Jonathan Dorsey) is where it belongs because it has almost no content and no references. Another key question is whether he has been in a NFL game, or just practice squad.

 * My second question is: How can I underline and cut the written text.Shadowsparks786 (talk) 10:47, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello and welcome to the Teahouse. There are different levels of page protection, which might require more edits, or have complete protection from editing by anyone. If you want to share which article you are attempting to edit, I could give a better answer(though you don't need to). 331dot (talk) 13:20, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * In answer to your second question, we don't generally underline text in articles, but there are circumstances when it can be bolded or italicised; these are outlined at MOS:BOLD and MOS:ITALIC. You can cut text using normal methods (right click and cut, or Ctrl+x) when editing pages. Girth Summit  (blether)  13:52, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Welcome to the Teahouse, . Although you created your account on 18th September, you're first edit was on 19 September at 14:11 UTC. Although it's not explicitly stated (at this explanatory page) I would assume that your 'autoconfirmed' status of having an account over four days old would be timed from an editor's first edit, not the moment their acccount was created. So, you should therefore be able to edit semi-protected pages this time tomorrow, 23rd September. As for underlining words, you would be unlikely to need very much that whilst editing articles, though if you respond to this post you'll see that I used opening and closing underline commands like this:  . Cutting of text is the same as in any normal word-processing document. Just highlight the text and hit delete. Of course, do explain what changes you make to any article with an edit summary, and always ensure that whatever factual statement you do add to any article is directly supported the reference already there, or that you add a further one to allow it to be verified. See Tutorial for further guidance on editing. Hope this helps. Nick Moyes (talk) 13:54, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I believe that autoconfirmed is granted four days after registration (assuming also 10+ edits within that interval). I'm pretty sure that's what WP:AUTOCONFIRM says, and I recall that after making 40+ edits, I became autoconfirmed exactly four days after registration, not four days after my first edit. And, it looks like you are autoconfirmed, so you should be able to edit semi-protected pages. ComplexRational (talk) 14:46, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Could I find out why is it that WP allowed a confusing use of terms when it concerns field goals in the sport of America style football. Many times it can be found expressed as grammatically correct that "X" made "field goal attempts" yet in the same sentence or article it can be said that they had "X" average which includes the comparison of competed versus their total output. What is going on?2605:E000:9149:8300:549A:9CC6:73E3:B72D (talk) 03:35, 22 September 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:9149:8300:549A:9CC6:73E3:B72D (talk) 03:22, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Situation: in the sport of American style football there is a scoring move called field goals which has a team member kicking the ball over the field goal to make points in lie of a touchdown or in addition to a touch down. Every time that ball is kocjed in a foeld goal action it is kicked but it may not always go over the field goal therefore it is incomplete. A field goal kick that goes over the goal is not an attempt because it has been completed yet there seems to be an adherence to the term "field goal attempts" as an accurate description of "field goal kicks made". Thid appears in both textual references and statistical charts. Are field goal attempts an accurate description of field goal kicks completed, i.e. resulting in the rewarding points in either text or charts?2605:E000:9149:8300:549A:9CC6:73E3:B72D (talk) 03:35, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * To clarify the issue under discussion, this is one of multiple, similar examples . It's not ungrammatical or inaccurate to refer to field goal attempts, and this is the traditionally accepted terminology. It seems the impetus to change this in multiple articles revolves on a sort of grammatical original research. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:40, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

If it is traditional then it should be used in all examples? Or only those that are approve on an as of yet disclosed policy. And before anyone jumps to the issue of disruptive editing, just when has it been WP policy to accept what is grammatically inaccurate when something is not in all instances expressed as such? Are we to take a number count of use to decide? There are many article on sport in WP that if confusing terminology and expressionare use does not benefit the purpose of WP or the readers that consult it.2605:E000:9149:8300:549A:9CC6:73E3:B72D (talk) 03:52, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi IP 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63. I don't think Wikipedia determines whether a "missed kick" is counted as an "attempted field goal"; Wikipedia really only refers to it as such or should only refer to it as such if reliable sources are referring to it as such. If someone tries to do something but is unsuccessful, then I think it wouldn't be too out of the ordinary to refer to it as an "attempt" or more specifically a "failed attempt". If missed attempts weren't counted in field goal stat ist ics, then pretty much every kicker would have a success rate of 100%, wouldn't they? So, this seems to be more of a question as to how best to present this type of information, which might be something worth discussing at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject American football. That's where you're likely going to find people who edit articles about American football who might be able to help sort out whether a change is needed and to best ensure consistency among this type of article. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:49, 22 September 2019 (UTC); [Note: Post edited by Marchjuly to and a missing word and correct spelling (both changes are underlined). — 11:21, 22 September 2019 (UTC)]

 * Hi, . As far as I know, the statistic has always been 'attempted field goals' or 'field goal attempts', just as we refer to 'attempted passes.' The unilateral decision to change this in multiple articles, in favor of the repetitive 'field goal kicks' (not a terminology I've encountered in 59 years) to refer to attempts, is a new one. While reverting many of the new user's edits, I've also posted several warnings. An editor may not disrupt standard usage and claim to be making grammatical corrections. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 04:57, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I think this is a competence issue. The user has three times accused me of 'cheap shots'. Really close to going to ANI. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 05:02, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Normally, when you're in a dispute over content with another editor, the best way to try and resolve things is to follow Wikipedia:Dispute resolution and discuss things with this person on the relevant article's talk page. However, when the dispute has the potential to affect lots of article, even if it's something like changing a word like "attempt" to "kick", then it's probably better to get more editors involved. So, my suggestion to you would be to first try the article's talk page and seek assistance from a WikiProject like WP:AMF (since this would cover all genre of articles about American football) by adding a Template:Please see to WT:AMF to let others know about the discussion. (Make sure to avoid any problems with WP:CANVASS) If an inappropriate change is being made to lots of articles, then getting more people involved increases the chances of things being sorted out in a way that's best for Wikipedia. Trying to "correct" things on your own is only likely going to lead to edit warring which you won't win no matter how right you believe you are. If the other editor continues to motor on as before even after multiple editors are advising them to stop, they will be eventually dealt with by an administrator. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:11, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * If you're thinking about going to ANI, you should be aware of WP:BOOMERANG. Most administrators will look at your edits as well and look for attempts made by you to try and resolve this disagreement. I'm not saying you did anything wrong, only that ANI can turn out to be a bit unpleasant for everyone involved, not just the person being accused of violating policy/guidelines. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:17, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

 * See PFR, a reasonably popular source, which is consistent with other sites and my experience.
 * FGA = Field Goals Attempted
 * FGM = Field Goals Made
 * FG% = Percentage of Field Goals Made = 100 * FGM / FGA
 * E.g. Titans have attempted four field goals, of which they made three (and missed one), for a FG% of 75. I.e., field goal attempts include both successful and unsuccessful events. Note that kicked points-after-touchdown (XPA, XPM, XP%) and punts (Pnt, Blk) are separate types of plays – they are not "field goals". —[  Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 08:32, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Well, I guess someone has already reverted the about 5 articles that the statistical charts have been edited? And who ever said not including both missed and completed field goals in the textual statistics structured grammatically as "attempted" even if they were successfully completed. I have always had the understanding that in common understanding, especially in polite society and cocktail conversation an "attempt" was something that did not quite get there. I take a word at its entendre especially if double or colloquial. But it still remains to be discussed if "attempt" will be accepted as both missed and scored field goals. Instead it seems to be shimming in about what should have been done and what penalties should be applied. And this is not an ANI environment, normally. So what i see if the example provided shows what is important with this discussion is about a statistical chart then is than difference with text which may not have all included that would be found in one area what that information pertains so there is less ability to strain just what is being said.
 * The analogy of batting scores in American style baseball may best show a cross comparison. Someone's hitting average is determined from a variety of aspects but we do not call home runs the same as strikes or stealing a base. The whole point of WP is for those to consult. That is far more significant to those who do not know rather than those that have to confirm. It serves both groups but it does not help to confuse, unless that is the unintended result. What gets interesting in figuring out for the uninitiated is just what is a field goal action when it contains a divide, better known in the US as a fraction say of .5 field goal attempts? Yes, I know that averages can be any result but it has to be a common measurable thing. The only common thing of missed and completed field goals is that they all start with a kick because once a field goal has reached it intended target of getting its reward it is no longer an attempt. If "attempt" was so applicable to the textual expression of the activity in WP then every mention of field goals, missed or counted for point, would include the expression. It does not in WP. I can hear it already. This lack of uniformity is saying that WP is wrong. I did not say that. I pointed out that WP is inconsistent. Inconsistency does not help establish credibility unless the point is to impose something on others. I can hear it already. He is saying that WP intends on imposing on people. Most of the people in the world do not have a consistent and readily available power source to access WP. Grammar has a consistency about it or an explanation for its exception. The rule for field goals is that they have to be achieved by a kick. They cannot be tossed into the field goal zone. They cannot be bounced into the field goal zone. They cannot even fall short of the field goal zone. If they do, they are a missed field goal. We can forego a consideration of blocked field goals except to know that if it does not go into the field goal zone then it is a miss. A missed and a completed field goal are two different animals. One gets you a point and the other one does not.2605:E000:9149:8300:549A:9CC6:73E3:B72D (talk) 09:38, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Both a home run and a strike out are counted as an at bat; one may be considered to be a quite successful at bat and the other a failed at bat, but they are still counted as an at bat. Now, in baseball there are certain things which aren’t counted as an at bat (e.g. a walk or a sacrifice), but these are well agreed upon and specifically designated as such in the rules of the game. If you were WP:BOLD in making a change, then that’s perfectly OK to do; however, when someone reverts your change, then you’re going to be expected (unless the revert was clearly a case of vandalism or some other clear policy/guideline violation) to follow Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle (aka WP:BRD). You don’t revert back to your preferred version and then expect the other person to discuss because that’s WP:BRRD (i.e. bold, revert, revert back, discuss) and that’s how small things often become unnecessary problems. So, my advice to you is the same as I gave above to the other IP: discuss on the talk page and if necessary seek assistance from one of the relevant WikiProjects which cover American football articles. — Marchjuly (talk) 11:40, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

What is this idea of expectation? If you decide to overrile someone without talk page discussion or an explanation of why you think is it one way and not sanother even in situastions where there is a statsticasl chart uwage and a textual usuage then if someone expected to ber followed then maybe they should understand that someone does not alwaysd know that the right person has yet to complain about somethuing. This did go on for several days and other editors edited the articles as if all was well? Again, a missed field goal is not the same as an attempt becaisde an attempt is not a completion of the ultimate action--a point(s) from the field goal being completed. If a completed field goal and an attempt were the same then both would get point(s). They don't. Nothing is going to change that. The only thing they have in common is they result from a kick. "Attempt" is being used to express the only thing that an attempt and a completed field goal share in common. You cannot have a field goal without a kick. You cannot have a missed field goal without a kick. But an attempt to make a field goal stops being an attempt when it is a completed field goal. An egg stops being called an egg when you cook it into a soufle. You do not continue calling it an egg even if the shell is included."2605:E000:9149:8300:549A:9CC6:73E3:B72D (talk) 13:44, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Herdsman Lake

Herdsman Lake, is a freshwater lake located on the Swan Coastal Plain, 6 km north-west of Perth, Western Australia, in the suburb of Herdsman. The main shared-use path around the lake is approximately 8 kilometres in length, whilst the wetland perimeter of the lake is approximately 7.5 kilometres.

Description
The lake is encompassed by Herdsman Lake Regional Park. It measures 2.5 km in length, and 2 km in width, totaling over 3 km2. The perimeter of the lake is dredged to provide permanent open water, 15% of the area, during the dry summer months. The lake is a wildlife sanctuary, with birdwatching a popular activity.

Almost 80% of the lake is covered with Typha rush (Typha orientalis), an introduced weed. In summer, most of the lake is dry. 15% of the lake is permanent deep water. In the 1830s, the lake was a possible water supply for Perth. In 1936, the lake was almost used as an alternative airport. Herdsman Lake was declared a regional park in 1999.

The Herdsman Main Drain is a 4 km x 1000 mm underground pipe drain carrying excess water from the lake to its outflow at City Beach.

Attractions
Attractions within the park include the Olive Seymour Boardwalk, Herdsman Lake Discovery Centre and Settler's Cottage. It also contains a statue created by Pietro Porcelli, which formerly sat atop the now-demolished AMP Chambers building, which was rescued and placed on one of the islands. Walking, cycling, picnicking, birdwatching and wildflower spotting are popular activities in the park. Disabled access is provided.

Birds
More than 160 species of bird have been recorded at Herdsman Lake, including some notable sightings and endemic species to the region.

Notable sightings

 * Purple Heron in February 2013, a vagrant to Australia
 * Striated Heron in July 2013, vagrant this far south in Western Australia
 * Collared Pratincole in January 2019, first found at Point Walter and later relocated at Herdsman Lake, a first record for Australia
 * Wandering Whistling-Duck in May 2019, vagrant this far south in Western Australia
 * Eastern Yellow Wagtail in January 2020, vagrant this far south in Western Australia

Modern History/Second World War

The Second World War (or World War II) was the costliest war in history in terms of lives lost. Over fifty million people died either in direct combat, raids or civilian extermination. The war was fought between the 'Allies' (The British Commonwealth, the United States, China, the Soviet Union (post-1941) and the governments-in-exile of most of the European countries), and the 'Axis' (Germany, Italy, Japan and the Soviet Union (pre-1941).

In the beginning, most of the fighting was in Europe, but with the attack on Pearl Harbour, combat moved extensively to the Pacific.

The German invasion of the Soviet Union
On June 22, 1941, over 3 million Axis soldiers marched into the Soviet Union. The army was comprised mainly of Germans, but also included smaller numbers of Italians, Romanians, Hungarians, and Bulgarians.

Within weeks, the Red Army was in shambles. Most of the air force was destroyed, and the Wehrmacht was approaching Moscow with lightning speed.

The Ukrainian and Belorussian people, tired of living under Soviet Russian domination, ran happily towards the approaching army. Of course, these people were killed, as part of Hitler's plan to colonize the Ukraine with families of SS soldiers and their families.

The Italian invasion of North Africa and The Afrika Korps
After Hitler`s successful blitzkrieg into Poland and France which resulted in the Third Reich becoming dominant in Europe, Mussolini felt unsatisfied because he himself didn't gain any significant victories or territories. Mussolini planned to occupy Egypt from his colony in Libya. He hope to get a quick victory that would boost Italian army morale for the Greece campaign.
 * Rommel and the Afrika Korps here*

Before World War II, the main Italian strategies were defensive, because Libya had a dangerous position with two fronts, The Anglo-Egyptian border in the east and the French colony of Tunisia in the west. But, after France's defeat at the hand of Nazi Germany, Vichy France was no longer a threat to Libya from the west and so Mussolini asked his Generals to attack the British across the Egyptian border. But Italian troops lacked experience and preparation and the campaign went wrong for Mussolini. After capturing Mensah Matruh, the Italian offensive halted. The British used tactical superiority to launch a counter attack, not only to recapture their lost territory but also to thrust deep into Italian territory. Almost all the Italian attacking force was killed or captured, leading to General Graziani resigning from his position in Africa. Mussolini replaced him with General Gariboldi, who took command of all remaining Italian forces. Hitler, who didn't want Mussolini to lose in Africa, send Erwin Rommel to assist the Italians with only a single motorised battalion at the beginning. Rommel's army in Africa was known as the Deutsche Afrika Korps (German Africa Corps.)

The British General Wavell preferred not to continue advancing into Italian territory because of 2 factors. The first was the long supply line for the British, making it difficult to organize, and the second was Churchill's decision to transfer some of the British army in Egypt to Greece in order to help Greece to defend itself from the Nazis advancing army. Wavell thought conservatively that both the British and Italian-German didn't have enough forces to launch more offensive campaigns, and so did General Gariboldi and OKW (Ober Komando Wehrmacht). But,Rommel thought progressively, he decided that this was a great chance to attack the unprepared British, although he didn't have enough support because Hitler could only give him one more battalion. Rommel grouped his Italian-German armoured division together so he could used it effectively. On the other side, Wavell`s tanks were scattered amongst the infantry. Although the armies' numbers were equally matched, Rommel's tactics made the Deutsche Afrika Korps win over the British Desert Rats. The British were forced to withdraw and fell back to Egypt, apart from the Tobruk garrison, which was surrounded and placed under siege.

End of the Pacific War
The European war had ended - but the World War had not. The fight in the Pacific proved to be getting as tougher than ever, and so it was decided that the United States would use atomic bombs to end the war. [insert more text]

The World at the end of the Second World War
World War 2 led to a fundamental shift in power. The European powers were devastated and ceased to be major world powers. This left the USA and the greatly expanded Soviet Block as the pre-eminent world powers.

The end of World War 2 saw the recovery of a war-torn Europe under the Marshall Plan which provided financial aid to countries devastated by the war, the expansion of the communist Soviet Block led to the beginning of superpower hostilities between the Soviet Union and NATO in what was to become the Cold War. In America, following the death of President Roosevelt, the newly elected Harry S. Truman sought a much stricter role in the containment of the sudden rapid spread of Communism. In response to the rigged democratic elections in Eastern Europe by the Soviet Red Army and communist officials, and the newly made "sphere of Soviet influence" Truman announced the Truman Doctrine which stated that any country perceived to be under threat from internal or external Communist governments, would be entitled to receive financial and military assistance.

Notable examples of intervention against communism include the British military and US financial intervention in the Greek Civil War (1946 - 1949) where communists and royalists fought for power, the Korean War in which communist forces battled against a UN force led by the USA and the Vietnam War where communist Vietnamese nationalists fought successively against the post war British occupation forces, the French and the USA eventually emerging victorious in the 1970s.

The Soviet occupation resulted in a divided Europe including a divided Germany where communist states were on the Eastern side, behind guarded borders what were commonly referred to in the West as the "Iron Curtain", and democratic states on the Western side. The liberation of Eastern Europe from the Soviet Block was not achieved until the 1990s.

Marele câștigător

Marele câștigator is a Romanian reality game show that debuted on Antena 1 September 23, 2010. The show features obese people competing to win a cash prize by losing the highest percentage of weight relative to their initial weight.

Premise
Each season of The Biggest Loser starts with a weigh-in to determine the contestants' starting weights, which serve as the baseline for determining the overall winner.

The contestants are grouped into teams of two, each wearing separate colored T-shirts. Depending on the season a team may work with a specific trainer or all trainers may work with all contestants. The trainers are responsible (in conjunction with medical personnel retained by the show) for designing comprehensive workout and nutrition plans and teaching them to the contestants. However, the contestants are individually responsible for implementing the principles taught.

During an episode, various challenges and temptations (see below) are featured. Those who win a particular challenge are given special privileges, such as a weight advantage for the next weigh-in or even full immunity from being voted off the show.

Each week culminates in another weigh-in to determine which team has lost the most weight for that week, in percentage of total weight lost. The team that has lost the least percentage during that week (known as "falling below the yellow line", which refers to a line featured on a video screen showing the cutoff between safety and being at-risk) will have one member voted off (unless the team consists of only one remaining member, in which case there is no vote). The vote is usually made by the other teams, though some episodes feature one team making the decision alone. Some episodes feature a second, "red line"; if a contestant falls below the red line the contestant is automatically off the show with no vote. Other episodes allow for the contestants, if successfully meeting a goal at the weigh-in, to all receive immunity for the week.

When the number of contestants has shrunk to a predetermined smaller number (unknown to the contestants), the teams are dissolved and the contestants compete one-on-one against each other.

The season finale features both the contestants remaining on the show and those sent home early; the latter are brought back for the final show. Those sent home early compete for a smaller prize while those on the show compete for a larger prize and the title of "The Biggest Loser".

Dunmore v Ontario (AG)

Dunmore v Ontario (AG), 2001 SCC 94 is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on the constitutional right to freedom of association under section 2(d) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms ("Charter"). The Court held that the lack of a positive framework that protected farm workers from employer reprisals for exercising their associational rights under the Charter constituted a "substantial interference" of their right to freedom of association. The Ontario government responded with the Agricultural Employees Protection Act, which extended only to agricultural workers and prohibited employer reprisals against employees exercising their rights under section 2(d) of the Charter.

Background
In 1994, the Ontario government under the New Democratic Party of Ontario passed the Agricultural Labour Relations Act which gave trade union and collective bargaining rights to Ontario's agricultural workers. The following year, the Conservatives were elected into power and subsequently passed the Labour Relations and Employment Statute Law Amendment Act (LRESLAA), which repealed the 1994 Act and terminated any collective agreements made under that Act.

Tom Dunmore, Salame Abdulhamid, Walter Lumsden and Michael Doyle with support from the United Food and Commercial Workers brought an application on behalf of the agricultural workers of Ontario to challenge the LRESLAA as a violation of their right to freedom of association and equality rights under sections 2(d) and 15(1) of the Charter respectively.

At trial, the judge found that the LRESLAA did not prevent the agricultural workers from forming a labour union and that any obstacles were the result of the actions of their employers which are private parties and beyond the scope of the Charter. The decision was upheld by the Court of Appeal.

The issues before the Supreme Court was whether the LRESLAA violated section 2(d) or 15(1) of the Charter, and if so, whether it could be saved under section 1.

The majority of the Court held that section 2(d) was violated and could not be justified under section 1.

Opinion of the Court
Bastarache J wrote the opinion for the majority. He began by describing the purpose of section 2(d) which is "to allow the achievement of individual potential through interpersonal relationships and collective action". The previous interpretation of section 2(d) which only protected individuals, said Bastarache, was insufficient. The right should be broader and should create a "positive obligation on the state to extend protective legislation to unprotected groups".

For a claimant to successfully argue that the under-inclusiveness of legislation violated his or her right to freedom of association, he or she must "demonstrate that exclusion from a statutory regime permits a substantial interference" of their right.

Bastarache examined the LRESLAA and found that its purpose was "to establish and maintain an association of employees", which would fall under section 2(d). Though the purpose of the Act did not violate the Charter, the effect of the Act did violate the Charter. By removing the ALRA and excluding the agricultural workers, their vulnerable position was reinforced and they became substantially incapable of exercising their rights.

Dissent
In dissent, Major J argued that section 2(d) did not impose any positive rights and that there was nothing preventing the workers from forming their own association.
