User:Callanecc/CVUA/Tasks

Hello, welcome to your Counter Vandalism Unit Academy page! Every person I instruct will have their own page on which I will give them support and tasks for them to complete. Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist. Your academy page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working). If you have any general queries about anti-vandalism (or anything else), you are more than welcome to raise them with me at my talk page.

Make sure you read through Vandalism as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.

This page will be built up over your time in the Academy, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page.
 * How to use this page
 * Once you graduate I will copy this page into your userspace so you have a record of your training and a reference for the future.

Twinkle
Twinkle is a very useful tool when performing maintenance functions around Wikipedia. Please have a read through WP:TWINKLE.
 * Enable Twinkle (if haven't already) and leave a note here to let me know that you have enabled it.

Good faith and vandalism
When patrolling for vandalism, you may often come across edits which are unhelpful, but not vandalism - these are good faith edits. It is important to recognise the difference between a vandalism edit and a good faith edit, especially because Twinkle gives you the option of labelling edits you revert as such. Please read WP:AGF and WP:NOT VANDALISM before completing the following tasks.

 * Please explain below the difference between a good faith edit and a vandalism edit, and how you would tell them apart.

 * Please find three examples of good faith but unhelpful edits, and three examples of vandalism. You don't need to revert the example you find, and I am happy for you to use previous undos in your edit history if you wish.
 * Good faith

 * Vandalism

Warning and reporting
When you use Twinkle to warn a user, you have a number of options to choose from: you can select the kind of warning (for different offences), and the level of warning (from 1 to 4, for increasing severity). Knowing which warning to issue and what level is very important. Further information can be found at WP:WARN and WP:UWUL.

 * Please answer the following questions:
 * Why do we warn users?

 * When would a 4im warning be appropriate?

 * Should you substitute a template when you place it on a user talk page, and how do you do it?

 * What should you do if a user who has received a level 4 or 4im warning vandalises again?

 * Please give examples (using ) of three different warnings (not different levels of the same warning and excluding the test edit warning levels referred to below), that you might need to use while recent changes patrolling and explain what they are used for.

Make sure you keep in mind that some edits that seem like vandalism can be test edits. This happens when a new user is experimenting and makes accidental unconstructive edits. Generally, these should be treated with good faith, especially if it is their first time, and warned gently. The following templates are used for test edits:, and.

I just wanted to make sure you know about Special:RecentChanges, if you use the diff link in a different window or tab you can check a number of revisions much more easily. If you enable Hovercards in the Hover section of your preferences, you can view the diff by just hovering over it. Alternately, you can press control-F or command-F and search for "tag:". some edits get tagged for possible vandalism or section blanking.

 * Find and revert some vandalism. Warn each user appropriately, using the correct kind of warning and level. Please include at least two test edits and at least two appropriate reports to AIV. For each revert and warning please fill in a line on the table below

Shared IP tagging
There are a number of IP user talk page templates which show helpful information to IP users and those wishing to warn or block them. There is a list of these templates

 * Shared IP - For general shared IP addresses.
 * ISP - A modified version specifically for use with ISP organizations.
 * Shared IP edu - A modified version specifically for use with educational institutions.
 * Shared IP gov - A modified version specifically for use with government agencies.
 * Shared IP corp - A modified version specifically for use with businesses.
 * Shared IP address (public) - A modified version specifically for use with public terminals such as in libraries, etc.
 * Mobile IP - A modified version specifically for use with a mobile device's IP.
 * Dynamic IP - A modified version specifically for use with dynamic IPs.
 * Static IP - A modified version specifically for use with static IPs which may be used by more than one person.

Each of these templates take two parameters, one is the organisation to which the IP address is registered (which can be found out using the links at the bottom of the IP's contribution page. The other is for the host name (which is optional) and can also be found out from the links at the bottom of the IP's contribution page.

Also, given that different people use the IP address, older messages are sometimes refused so as to not confuse the current user of the IP. Generally any messages for the last one-two months are removed, collapsed, or archived. The templates available for this include:
 * OW for when the messages are deleted from the talk page.
 * Old IP warnings top and Old IP warnings bottom for collapsing the user warnings and leaving them on the talk page.
 * Warning archive notice for when the messages are archived, and that archiving follows the usually naming sequence (that is, /Archive 1).

NOTE: All of the templates in this section are not substituted (so don't use "subst:").

Tools
Recent changes patrol includes a list of tools and resources for those who want to fight vandalism with a more systematic and efficient approach.

What you have been doing so far is named the old school approach. As well as manually going through Special:RecentChanges, it includes undos, "last clean version" restores, and manually warning users.

There are a large number of tool which assist users in the fight against vandalism. They range from tools which help filter and detect vandalism to tools which will revert, warn and report users.

Lupin's Anti-Vandal Tool
Lupin's Anti-Vandal Tool monitors the RSS feed and flags edits with common vandalism terms. It's a very simple tool, but which is useful for not having to go check each and every diff on Recent Changes.

Twinkle
The first tool I want to mention is Twinkle, it's a very useful and I strongly suggest you enable it (in the Gadgets section of your preferences). It provides three types of rollback functions (vandalism, normal and AGF) as well as an easy previous version restore function (for when there are a number of different editors vandalising in a row). Other functions include a full library of speedy deletion functions, and user warnings. It also has a function to propose and nominate pages for deletion, to request page protection to report users to WP:AIV & WP:UAA (which we'll get to later).

Rollback
See rollback, this user right introduces an easy rollback button (which with one click reverts an editor's contributions. I'll let you know when I think you're ready to apply for the rollback user right.

Huggle
Huggle is a Windows program which parses (orders them on the likelihood of being unconstructive edits and on the editor's recent history) from users not on its whitelist. It allows you to revert vandalism, warn and reports users in one click.

Dealing with difficult users
Occasionally, some vandals will not appreciate your good work and try to harass or troll you. In these situations, you must remain calm and ignore them. If they engage in harassment or personal attacks, you should not engage with them and leave a note at WP:ANI. If they vandalise your user page or user talk page, simply remove the vandalism without interacting with them. Please read WP:DENY.

 * Why do we deny recognition to trolls and vandals?

 * How can you tell between a good faith user asking why you reverted their edit, and a troll trying to harass you?

Protection and speedy deletion
Protecting and deleting pages are two additional measures that can be used to prevent and deal with vandalism. Only an administrator can protect or delete pages; however, anyone can nominate a page for deletion or request protection. If you have Twinkle installed, you can use the Twinkle menu to request page protection or speedy deletion (the RPP or CSD options).

Protection
Please read the protection policy.

 * In what circumstances should a page be semi-protected?

 * In what circumstances should a page be pending changes level 1 protected?

 * In what circumstances should a page be fully protected?

 * In what circumstances should a page be creation protected ("salted")?

 * In what circumstances should a talk page be semi-protected?

 * Correctly request the protection of one page (pending, semi or full); post the diff of your request (from WP:RPP) below.

Speedy deletion
Please read WP:CSD.

 * In what circumstances should a page be speedy deleted, very briefly no need to go through the criteria?

 * Correctly tag two pages for speedy deletion (with different reasons - they can be for any of the criteria) and post the diff and the criteria you requested it be deleted under below.

Usernames
Wikipedia has a policy which details the types of usernames which users are permitted to have. Some users (including me) patrol the User creation log to check for new users with inappropriate usernames. There are four kinds of usernames that are specifically disallowed: Please read WP:USERNAME, and pay particluar attention to dealing with inappropriate usernames.
 * Misleading usernames imply relevant, misleading things about the contributor. The types of names which can be misleading are too numerous to list, but definitely include usernames that imply you are in a position of authority over Wikipedia, usernames that impersonate other people, or usernames which can be confusing within the Wikipedia signature format, such as usernames which resemble IP addresses or timestamps.
 * Promotional usernames are used to promote an existing company, organization, group (including non-profit organizations), website, or product on Wikipedia.
 * Offensive usernames are those that offend other contributors, making harmonious editing difficult or impossible.
 * Disruptive usernames include outright trolling or personal attacks, include profanities or otherwise show a clear intent to disrupt Wikipedia.
 * Describe the what you would about the following usernames of logged in users (including which of the above it breaches and why).

 * DJohnson

 * LMedicalCentre

 * Fuqudik

 * ColesStaff

 * 172.295.64.27

 * Bieberisgay

Progress test
Congratulations, now have mastered the "basics" so we can move on. Please complete the following progress test, and I'll tell you what's next.

The following 2 scenarios each have 5 questions that are based on WP: VANDAL, WP:3RR, WP: REVERT, WP: BLOCK, WP: GAIV, WP: WARN, WP:UAA, WP:CSD, and WP:UN. Good Luck!

Scenario 1
You encounter an IP vandalising Justin Bieber by adding in statements that he is gay.
 * Would this be considered vandalism or a good faith edit, why?

 * Which Wikipedia policies and/or guidelines is it breaching?

 * What would be an appropriate warning template to place on the IP's user talk page?

 * The user has now added offensive words to the article 3 times. You have reverted three times already, can you be blocked for violating the three revert rule in this case?

 * Which of the following reporting templates should be used in this case: IPvandal or vandal?

 * What would you include as the reason for reporting the editor?

Scenario 2
You see a new account called "Hi999" that has added random letters to one article.
 * Would this be considered vandalism or a good faith edit, why?

 * What would be an appropriate warning template to place on the user's talk page?

 * Which of the following Twinkle options should be used to revert these edits: Rollback-AGF (Green), Rollback (Blue) or Rollback-Vandal (Red)?

 * The user now has a level 3 warning on their talk page. They make a vandal edit, would it be appropriate to report this user to AIV? Why or why not?

 * If this user keeps on vandalizing, can this user be blocked indef.?

 * Which of the following reporting templates should be used in this case: IPvandal or vandal?

 * What would you include as the reason for reporting the editor?

Scenario 3
You see a new account called "LaptopsInc" which has created a new page called "Laptops Inc" (which only contains the words "Laptops Inc" and a few lines of text copied from the company's website). The user also added "www.laptopsinc.com" on the Laptop article. You research Laptops Inc on Google and find that is a small company.
 * Should you revert the edit to Laptop, if so which Twinkle option would you use?

 * If you do revert which warning template would you use?

 * Would you tag the article they created with a speedy deletion tag(s). If so which speedy deletion criteria apply to the article?

 * Would you leave a template on the user's talk page regarding their username? If so which one and with which parameters?

 * Would you report the user to UAA? If so what of the four reasons does it violate?

Results
Your Score:

Rollback
Congratulations now for the next step. The rollback user right allows trusted and experienced vandalism fighters to revert vandalism with the click of one button. Please read WP:Rollback.

 * Describe when the rollback button may be used and when it may not be used.

Tools
There are a number of tools which assist users with reverting vandalism. I primarily use WP:HUGGLE.

 * Would you like to learn to use either of these tools?

Monitoring period
Congratulations! You have completed the first section of the anti-vandalism course, well done. Now that we've been through everything that you need to know as a vandal patroller, you will be given a 5 day monitoring period. During this time, you are free to revert vandalism (and edit Wikipedia) as you normally do; I will monitor your progress in anti-vandalism. If there are any issues, I will raise them with you and if you have any problems, you are free to ask me. After five days, if I am satisfied with your progress, you will take the final test; passing this will mean you graduate from the CVUA. Good luck!

If you have any problems or trouble along the way please leave a message in this section on my talk page. If you make any difficult decisions feel free to post the diff below and I'll take a look.

Final Exam
When responding to numbered questions please start your response with "#:" (except where shown otherwise - with **). You don't need to worry about signing your answers.

GOOD LUCK!

Talk:Zurvan (disambiguation)

Request for expansion
On 8 March 2006, User:SouthernComfort added the following expansion tag to the article.

On 27 March 2006 it was moved from the main page to the talk page, since this template has been deprecated for use on main pages.

 * How do we know when this article has been expanded enough? Lawrence King 07:55, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * When the article has been expanded - it's currently lacking a great deal of information. I would have expanded the article myself quite awhile ago, but I don't have access to the original sources from where my knowledge is derived. SouthernComfort 08:12, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm in the process of writing an article on Zurvanism, but... the text that deals with the historical development is pretty much the only place where the divinity Zurvan is dealt with.

Since, a) hat section is fairly long and doesn't make a lot of sense outside the context of Zurvanism, and b) Manichean Zurvan and Mithraic Zurvan need some attention too,... I suggest that when I post the article, I do so under "Zurvanism", and make "Zurvan" a disambig page along the lines of:
 * Zurvan is the name of the first Principle (supreme deity) in several religious movements:
 * In Zurvanism (Zurvanite Zoroastrianism)
 * In Manichaeism
 * As the Persian name of the Hellenic Chronos, subsequently adopted by Mithraism.

I'd then add a few paragraphs describing each version of Zurvan and the relationship to each other.

What do y'all think? -- Fullstop 12:12, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

One problem

 * Some assert that Zurvan was part of the original teachings of Zoroastrianism
 * Some assert that Zurvan was a local deity who predated the Zoroastrian religion
 * Some assert that Zurvan was a later addition to Zoroastrian belief

I think there is a potential problem with the above. I think there is a pretty fair consensus amongst scholars that 1) Zurvan was a deity predating the advent of Zoroastrianism, 2) that Zurvan was not part of the actual teachings of Zarathustra, and 3) Zurvan came to be added to Zoroastrian belief much later, resulting in the "Zurvanite heresy" which deviated from orthodox belief. Whether or not Zurvan was one of the original Aryan gods like Mithra/Mitra is a different story, however, and I'm not sure if that has ever been addressed. SouthernComfort 11:58, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Is this something Zaehner would agree with? It's been years since I looked at his book, but my  recollection is that he was much less certain about these things.

 * You used the term "consensus". Would you say that your summary is pretty much The scholarly opinion, or would you say it's a strong majority opinion?  If it's the latter, then I think the best thing would be for this section to be rewritten to reflect this consensus, and then alternate views could be very briefly mentioned. Lawrence King 02:17, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

 * That's a very good question. Unless there are other scholars that agree with Blavatsky's claim that Zurvan was part of Zarathustra's original teachings, then I would say my summary reflects scholarly opinion overall. However, I would prefer going back to the sources that are available just to make sure. There aren't that many, the issue of Zurvan being rather obscure, so it shouldn't too difficult to come to a conclusion. One important factor that needs to be clarified is when the first mention of Zurvan appears - was it during the Achaemenid era, sometime before, or later? SouthernComfort 06:03, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Which came first?
Was Zurvan only introduced to Zoroastrianism through Manichaeism? --K a s h Talk 12:11, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

 * The Zoroastrian divinity Zurvan Akarana predates both Mani and Zurvanism (Zurvanite Zoroastrianism) by three centuries or more, i.e. originates in late Achaemenid era. At that stage, Zurvan wasn't yet the high-god that Zurvanism would make him, but the active principle of Time in that "the plants grow in the manner Time has ordained according to the will of Ahura Mazda and the Amesha Spentas" (Yasht 13.56). At this stage, Zurvan was still purely Zoroastrian in that, unlike the later Zurvan of Zurvanism, had no traces of greek/babylonian influence.
 * With respect to the Zurvan of Zurvanism, ie the first Principle of Zurvanism, this is not the same Zurvan as the first Principle of Manichaeism. When Mani wrote his Shapurgan, the only book of his that he wrote in middle Persian (dedicated to Shapur I), he used the name 'Zurvan' as a substitute for the Aramaic name of Manicheanism's divinity of light. This is also the only instance where the name 'Zurvan' served as a placeholder. Everywhere else (except direct citation from the Shapurgan), the Manicheans used a literal translation of "Father of Greatness".
 * According to Zaehner, Mani's selection of the name 'Zurvan' to represent his Father of Greatness had good reasons: besides being political (Shapur was Sassanid after all), the Manicheans were "struck" by the similarity (the remoteness) between Zurvan and Father-of-Greatness. But, although both were completely remote, abstract, unloving, uncaring, unreachable first Principles, the Manichean doctrine was incompatible with the Zurvanite one (father of twins and all that).

re: edit comment "Zurvanism" is a different subject.
With reference to the edit comment of 03:13, 13 September 2006 by User:Invictan (talk | contribs)...

"Already saw that but you can't delete the whole page. "Zurvanism" is a different subject."

First, I object to "you can't delete the whole page". Not only can I (because it is the right thing to do when the "information" of the old article has been disambiguated between one new article and the one line references to others), I also invited dissenting opinion here on talk, to which you neither responded at the appropriate time (in the 14 days), nor did you contribute to after the fact. Also, please don't use reverts as an edit tool. It is not conducive to an atmosphere of cooperation.

Second, Zurvan of Zurvanism is indeed a different subject from the Manichean Zurvan, Sogdian Zurvan and theosophy's Zurvan, which all need to be treated separately. But then, a) Not covered at Zurvanism, and b) not covered by the disambig. These can then be placed in another Zurvan article, which would then be linked from the disambig.
 * 1) what precisely is your objection to a disambig page? There is no reason why "your" Zurvan (whatever you think it is) cannot have its own article somewhere, which would then be linked to from the disambig.
 * 2) If you believe that "your" Zurvan is not represented on the disambig page, please identify the sentences in the text at Zurvan that are

Thank you. -- Fullstop 07:36, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I think you could make a good case for any of the following three arrangements:
 * (1) Zurvan as a disambiguation page.
 * (2) Zurvan as a page that covers Zurvan in various contexts.
 * (3) If you agree that Zurvan is primarily associated with a single religion or group, then the Zurvan page could describe Zurvan in that context, and have links to other groups (e.g. Manicheaism) that have other perspectives. (This is similar to how Thor is treated.)
 * It sounds as if Fullstop is advocating plan 1, and Invictan is advocating plan 2. If you do choose plan 2, however, the current version of the Zurvan page won't work.  Instead, you should have a relatively short page whose subheadings are "Zurvan in Zurvanism", "Zurvan in Manichaeism", etc.  Each of these subheadings should begin with an indented line that indicates the main page (e.g., Main article: Zurvanism) and then a short paragraph summarizing things.
 * You could think of this as an expanded version of Fullstop's disambiguation page.
 * The reason I think it should be done this way is that there really isn't a whole lot you can say about Zurvan per se -- everything you are trying to say you are saying about Zurvan-in-Zurvanism, Zurvan-in-Manicheaism, etc. If there was a large agreement about Zurvan, then a big Zurvan page would make sense, but as it is this page will be POV if it stresses one version.  (Again, this argument fails if indeed we can make an NPOV statement that Zurvan is primarily associated with one faith and his use in other faiths is minor and derivative.)
 * That's my two cents. - Lawrence King 01:54, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

 * As you say there isn't very much that the various Zurvans have in common other than their name. Making a Zurvan page on the lines of Mitra, i.e. one section per Mitra/Mithra works only if there is adequate material on the individual entities. This is not the case for any but Zurvanism's & Manichean Zurvan. The other Zurvans would only have had a single sentence. That is why I went for the lowest common denominator and made it a psuedo-disambig:
 * Zurvan is the name of the first principle (creator deity) in several different religious systems:
 * * In Zurvanism (Zurvanite Zoroastrianism) as Zurwān Akarāna, the progenitor of Ohrmuzd and Ahriman.
 * * In Manichaeism, where Zurvan is the Middle Persian name that Mani used in his Shapurgan to signify his "Father of Greatness" (Aramaic: Abbā dəRabbūṯā), the primordial deity of light.
 * * In Sogdian Buddhism, as ʔzrwʔ (where both instances of ʔ represent some vowel) referred to the high deity Brahmā.
 * * In Theosophy, which incorporated elements of Zurvanite Zoroastrianism.
 * In any case, these are just presentation issues, and can be dealt with when the list is complete.
 * But then again, perhaps presentation is not an issue at all. Because if that were so, Invictus would have added his Zurvan-in-XYZ to the list. But he did not. Atm, we are obviously missing some subtlety that he has to share with us before we can move on. A Zurvan-in-XYZ that is in his revert but not mentioned in the "disambig" listing. But I don't see it.

First, reverts are alright and necessary when it is discovered than an entire article is being replaced by a disambiguation page. Being bold is fine, but others will sometimes disagree. Secondly, all Persian deities predate Zoroastrianism. I don't know why these discussions seems to always revolve around Zoroastrianism when this was one religion out of many during the ancient period in Iran. There is a fair amount we can write about Zurvan as has been done at Mithra and Anahita. It may not result in 20 pages, but we are not here to write essays and academic thesis. I think some people have the misunderstanding that if an article is only two or three paragraphs, then it should be deleted or removed or merged with another article. I disagree. Many, if not most entries in print encyclopedias only constitute a paragraph or two, sometimes a couple of more if one is lucky. Invictan 08:51, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Then please compose an article on this deity that you refer to. Even if it is only a paragraph or two. It is evidently not addressed under the current Zurvan article, which of course, should refer to all Zurvans.
 * If, as you suggest, "there is a fair amount [you] can write about Zurvan", especially, as you propose, about one that has nothing to do with Zoroastrianism, then please be so good as to actually write this, even if it is only a paragraph or two. I'm sure, with the expertise you appear to have, it should be ready within a day or two and will cite reliable, published, checkable sources.
 * -- Fullstop 10:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

ps: I'm particularly eager to hear your explanation of why (in supposedly pre-Zoroastrian times) the Western Iranians (Persians you say) used an Eastern Iranian (Avestan language) common noun for Time.

 * Since no information on Invictan's Zurvan appears to be forthcoming, I've reverted to a version that lists all the known Zurvans. Of course, Invictan is still welcome to add his Zurvan to the list. -- Fullstop 09:25, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Madonna and Child with Saint George

Madonna and Child with Saint George (Madonna di San Giorgio ) is an oil on panel painting by Correggio dating to around 1530 and now in the Gemäldegalerie in Dresden.

It features the Madonna and Child in the centre under a floral dome which draws on the Madonna della Vittoria by Mantegna. To the left are Geminianus (patron saint of Modena, shown in bishop's robes and holding a model of the city assisted by a putto) and John the Baptist. To the right are saint Peter Martyr (patron saint of the confraternity for which it was painted, wearing the white and black habit of the Dominicans and with a knife in his head) and Saint George (with the dragon's head under his left foot and his sword and helmet held by three putti).

History
It was commissioned as an altarpiece for the high altar of the oratory of the confraternity of San Pietro Martire in Modena. It can be definitively dated thanks to the secure dating of the San Sebastiano Madonna to the mid-1520s. It was probably the last religious work he completed, in parallel with his final contributions to the ceiling of Parma Cathedral. Two preparatory sketches survive.

Copies of it were made by the painters Girolamo Conti and Bartolomeo Passerotti, whilst Peter Paul Rubens also made a red-chalk sketch of it. Also recorded by Giorgio Vasari, the painting was acquired in 1649 by Francesco I d'Este, who commissioned a copy of it from Guercino to replace it in its original home in the oratory. Just after it entered the d'Este collection it was praised by Padre Ottonelli and Francesco Scannelli.In 1746 Francesco III d'Este sold it and several other paintings to Frederick Augustus II.

This article has been declined due to what is perceived as a lack of notability. I must respectfully disagree. I would argue that I have provided ample references, and two of them are published peer-reviewed secondary sources written on the life and work of Prof. Boyd.

His notability is clear given the accolades that he has received and in my latest edits I have striven to highlight those more prominently.

Also, according to the list provided in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:PROF, Boyd easily meets the requirements for #1, #2, #3, #5, #6, and #8.

Additionally, I would note that several other prominent figures in the same field of science (all of whom are rightfully deserving of a page on wikipedia) have pages on wikipedia that are less well-supported than this one, such as:

Both Sides of the Gun

Both Sides of the Gun is the seventh album by Ben Harper, released in 2006. Split into two discs, the title suggests the two sides of Harper's musical persona. The first disc ("White") is made of mostly acoustic and string-driven songs hinted at on the last track ("She's Only Happy in the Sun") of Harper's previous album Diamonds On the Inside. The second disc ("Black") is made up of the more rock-oriented material and touching on genres such as hard rock, funk and gospel.

A number of tracks were inspired by the political climate in the United States, particularly "Black Rain". The song criticizes President George W. Bush's handling of Hurricane Katrina, proclaiming, "Don't speak to us like we work for you / Selling false hope like some new dope we're addicted to / I'm not a desperate man but these are desperate times at hand / This generation is beyond your command."

The first disc opens with the ballad "Morning Yearning" and moving on to the Nick Drake-influenced solo guitar confessional "More Than Sorry" and the sentimental closer "Happy Everafter in Your Eyes", an ode to Harper's wife, actress Laura Dern.

The second half of "Both Sides" delves into a variety of styles, from the Black Crowes-style rock track "Get It Like You Like It" to the blues of "The Way You Found Me" and the largely instrumental jam "Serve Your Soul" that closes the album.

The album saw Harper playing the majority of the instruments on both discs; an approach that he had rarely used on his previous albums. However, his band, Innocent Criminals, would appear on a few tracks, while his later band, Relentless7, would appear together for the first time on "Serve Your Soul", the last track on the second disc.

The album became Harper's first US top 10 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, peaking at number seven. As of April 2007, it has sold 126,000 copies in United States.

Torronsuo National Park

Torronsuo National Park (Torronsuon kansallispuisto) is a national park in the Tavastia Proper region of Finland. Even before its declaration as a national park in 1990, the near-natural state swamp area was a protected area. Its area is 25.5 km2.

The park area is a typical ombrotrophic raised bog – a thick turf layer with its middle part raising above its edges. The turf layer is one of the thickest measured among Finnish bogs, locally extending to 12 m.

Torronsuo is valuable for its birdlife and butterfly species. Roughly a hundred species nest in the area. Part of the birds and insects are species that typically live in the northern areas, and they aren't seen much elsewhere in southern Finland.

Jim Easton Jr.

James Howatson Easton (born June 3, 1965) is a Canadian retired soccer midfielder who played professionally in the North American Soccer League, the Scottish First Division, the Canadian Soccer League and for the Canada men's national team.

Club career
Easton was drafted, as a 16-year-old, by the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the NASL on December 14, 1981 and had previously trained with Leicester City in England. After training with Tampa Bay's reserve team in 1982 and in Brazil at São Paulo FC with three other young Rowdies' players, Easton finally cracked the line-up with the Rowdies senior squad in 1983, making six appearances that season. Earlier in the year, he also appeared in several matches during Tampa Bay's indoor campaign, that had culminated with them winning the 1983 title.

After leaving the Rowdies in 1983, Easton signed with Dundee United of the Scottish Premier Division and joined their reserve team squad. In March 1985 he joined club Forfar Athletic on loan, making two appearances for them in the Scottish First Division. Easton was released by Dundee United at the end of the 1985–86 season, having not made any first team appearances in three years at the club.

Easton later played for the New Westminster Q.P.R. squad that was runner-up for the 1987 Canadian national championship. He was selected as a 1987 CSL All-star for the Vancouver 86ers after scoring seven goals in the 20 match season. Easton was also a part of the 86ers' 46-match unbeaten run (36 wins, 9 draws) that spanned parts of the 1988 and 1989 seasons and led to the 1989 team being inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 2004. In 77 career matches for the 86ers, he scored 24 goals, good for sixth all-time. He also played for Hamilton Steelers.

International career
In 1982 at age 17, Easton appeared in three matches for the Canadian under 20 squad. Before making his full international debut, he was named in Canada's provisional squad of forty prior to the 1986 FIFA World Cup, but didn't make the final cut. Between 1987 and 1992 he appeared in seven matches for the national team.

Personal life
Easton holds an M.A. and an M.B.A., and as of 2011 is the Managing Director of the San Francisco-based ReThink Management Group, which focuses primarily on sports consulting.

His father, Jim Easton, played for several Scottish sides, including Hibernian and Dundee, before playing one season in the NASL and later managing the original Vancouver Whitecaps during the Whitecaps' first two seasons.

In 2018, Easton was named vice president of soccer operations for the Canadian Premier League.

Okho

Okho is a composition for three percussionists by Iannis Xenakis completed in 1989.

Background
In the months before the creation of Okho, Xenakis spent some time with other percussionists such as Jean-Pierre Drouet, who first presented the djembe and the zarb in his studio. During this time, Xenakis and other percussionists worked on the different techniques used for playing some African instruments. The title Okho, unlike many other titles from Xenakis's output, is a pure combination of phonemes and has no meaning. The piece was a commission from the Festival d'automne à Paris and the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, with the support of the Government of France on the occasion of the celebration of the bicentenary of the French Revolution. Since the score calls for three djembes and an African bass drum, some scholars have highlighted the possible ironic reference to French colonialism, even though no such references were made explicit in the press.

Okho was completed in July 1989. It was dedicated to the percussion trio Le Cercle, formed by Willy Coquillat, Jean-Pierre Drouet, and Gaston Sylvestre, who gave the premiere that year on the ceremony celebrating the. It was eventually published that year by Éditions Salabert.

Structure
Okho is scored for three djembes and a large-sized African membranophone that are meant to be played with the hands except where otherwise noted. Because of its difficulty, some percussion ensembles choose to play this piece with sticks and drums with different pitches. It has a total of 138 bars an approximate duration of 13 minutes.

Sounds
As is customary in other works by Xenakis, Okho presents a series of predefined sounds determined both by the position of the hands on the djembe and the distinct modes of play for each of these positions. Xenakis uses up to six different sounds:

 * Bord clair: A rim struck to produce a clear sound, played mezzo-forte.
 * Bord claqué sec: A sharp crack on the rim, played forte.
 * Bord claqué résonnant: A resonant crack on the rim, played fortissimo.
 * Basse étouffée: A muffled bass, played mezzo-forte.
 * Basse normale: A normal bass, played forte.
 * Basse claquée: A loud crack on the bass, played fortissimo.

These six sounds are meant to be interpreted as different pitches, and Xenakis further specified three different pitches for bord clair in three additional sections: bars 25–32, 52–54, and 56–57. Xenakis also used accents in order to further differentiate some loud sounds and called for certain passages to be played with the nails and the wrists (extended techniques) in order to make glissandi. The bass drum is only played twice throughout the whole piece and is listed in the score as a basse profonde.

Sections
The piece is cast in one movement and there are no explicit section markings anywhere in the score. However, it has many tempo changes and some scholars agree that, in formal terms, the piece can be divided into five parts. The first part is a canon between the three musicians, marked "♪ = 120 environ". It uses a rhythmic pattern that Xenakis called "Tititi tata" in his sketches. However, from bar 13 onwards, the development process was automated using a program Xenakis developed throughout his career to build his musical language called GENDY (GEN for "generation" and DY for "dynamic") or GENDYN. In bar 25, Xenakis changes the tempo to ♪ = 56 and then alternates both tempos every few bars. Xenakis called these interspersing sections "χάος" (chaos).

The second section begins on bar 59, where the tempo changes to ♪ = 80. Here, Xenakis develops patterns that are based on the Fibonacci series. For example, the first percussionists starts a pattern with 21 thirty-second notes, then repeats the pattern with 13, then 8, and so on, until there are no more numbers left in the series, where he uses a roll ("ondulation" or glissando with the wrist) to turn around the series (first 1, then 2, then 3, then 5...). One of the only two appearances of the African bass drum is made near the end of this section.

The third section begins on the third beat of bar 80, marked ♪ = 66. Here, Xenakis requires the percussionists to use a stick for high-pitched sounds and the hand to low-pitched sounds. He uses a "melodic-percussive rhythm" that was also used in Idmen B.

The fourth section begins on the second beat of bar 104, marked ♪ = 92. The material in this section was developed using the same means as the automated material from the first section.

The final section begins on bar 117. Even though Xenakis initially used ♪ = 70, he later changed his mind and used a slower tempo, ♪ = 56. According to Xenakis, the material used in this section is an exact copy of the music used in one of his other pieces for percussion, Rebonds A, composed that same year. The composer used different rhythms played over quintuplets and had two sections with polyrhythmic lines at tempo ♪ = 60 (bars 124-126 and, again, 130–132). Xenakis also used this method in Peaux. The piece ends at ♪ = 56, with a loud strike of the bass drum.

The Royal Palace, Angkor Thom

The Royal Palace was first built by king Suryavarman I and used continuously from the 11th to the late 16th century AD. During that period, the area was transformed and restored several times. Recent excavations have revealed many remains, such as a 10th-century temple which was built by a minister to Yasovarman I, was probably considered to be this minister's residence.

Most of the royal palace buildings were constructed by using perishable materials because they would have been non-religious in nature.

Plan
The rectangular place of the royal palace was surrounded by a 5 meters high laterite wall with 246 meters along the north-south axis and 585 meters along the east-west axis, covering an area of more than 14 hectares. Five sandstone gopuras with steps served as the entrance to the palace. Two gupuras are located on the south, other two are on the north, the largest one faces to the east and aligned with the Elephant Terrace and Victory Gate. The first group of buildings, built by king Suryavarman I, was surrounded by a moat on the east. The ground inside the palace compound is 1.2 meters higher than outside that necessitating a double course of stone on the exterior of the entrances and in some places, the ground has been raised even higher.

The Large Pond
The 5625 square meters pond, probably built by king Jayavarman VIII, is faced with sandstone around its circumference. 13 tiers of steps descend 5.32 meters to the laterite paving. A wall was built on the south and to a lesser extent on the west which probably retain the embankment that extends to the pond from Phimeanakas. Dominating the pond on top of the wall is a paved terrace.

The walls are completely carved with bas-reliefs the lower sections show marine lives, heads of cow or horse, There are two rows of princes and naga princesses in the middle part which is similar to Terrace of the Leper King that located above winged figures, male and female guardian figures.

The East Pond
An 800 square meters sandstone pond, situated near the east gopura, was probably part of the first palace.

Terrace and the West Pond
A small pond and low terrace are located to the west of the Large Pond that both connected by a laterite wall to the west northern gopura of the royal palace. The walls are carved with fascinating bas-reliefs of a procession of people, elephants and horses above a frieze of hamsas.

Terrace to the east
The cruciform terrace with round column and overhanging top was typically built in the 16th century AD.

Four small sanctuaries to the east
The four small sanctuaries were constructed in the early phase, which evidenced by their floor level. They are opening to the west and parallel to the southeast of the second part of the Royal Palace.

Mueang

Mueang (เมือง mɯ̄ang, ), Muang (ເມືອງ mɯ́ang, ; Tai Nuea: ᥛᥫᥒᥰ muang), Mong ( mə́ŋ, ), Meng  or Mường (Vietnamese) were pre-modern semi-independent city-states or principalities in mainland Southeast Asia, adjacent regions of Northeast India and Southern China, including what is now Thailand, Laos, Burma, Cambodia, parts of northern Vietnam, southern Yunnan, western Guangxi and Assam.

Mueang was originally a term in the Tai languages for a town having a defensive wall and a ruler with at least the Thai noble rank of khun (ขุน), together with its dependent villages. The mandala model of political organisation organised states in collective hierarchy such that smaller mueang were subordinate to more powerful neighboring ones, which in turn were subordinate to a central king or other leader. The more powerful mueang (generally designated as chiang, wiang, nakhon or krung – with Bangkok as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon) occasionally tried to liberate themselves from their suzerain and could enjoy periods of relative independence. Mueang large and small often shifted allegiance, and frequently paid tribute to more than one powerful neighbor – the most powerful of the period being Ming China.

Following Kublai Khan's defeat of the Dali Kingdom of the Bai people in 1253 and its establishment as a tutelary state, new mueang were founded widely throughout the Shan States and adjoining regions – though the common description of this as a "mass migration" is disputed. Following historical Chinese practice, tribal leaders principally in Yunnan were recognized by the Yuan as imperial officials, in an arrangement generally known as the Tusi ("Native Chieftain") system. Ming and Qing-era dynasties gradually replaced native chieftains with non-native Chinese government officials.

In the 19th century, Thailand's Chakri dynasty and Burma's colonial and subsequent military rulers did much the same with their lesser mueang, but, while the petty kingdoms are gone, the place names remain.

Place names
Place names in Southwestern Tai languages

Cambodia
In Khmer, "moeang" (មឿង) is a word borrowed from the Thai language meaning "small city" or "small town." Usually used as a place name for villages.
 * Moeang Char
 * Moeang Prachen

China
The placename "mueang" is written in Chinese characters as, which is equivalent to and , both of which are spoken in China.

Laos
Laos is colloquially known as Muang Lao, but for Lao people, the word conveys more than mere administrative district. The usage is of special historic interest for the Lao; in particular for their traditional socio-political and administrative organisation, and the formation of their early (power) states, described by later scholars as Mandala (Southeast Asian political model). Provinces of Laos are now subdivided into what are commonly translated as districts of Laos, with some retaining Muang as part of the name:
 * Muang Sing
 * Muang Xay
 * Former Muang
 * Muang Phuan (modern Phonsavan, capital city of Xiangkhouang Province)
 * Muang Sua

Myanmar

 * Mong Mao
 * Mong Hsat
 * Mong Hpayak
 * Mong Ton
 * Mong Nai
 * Mong Ping
 * Mohnyin (former Mongyang State)
 * Mogaung (former Mongkawng)
 * Momauk
 * Mogok
 * Momeik

Northeast India

 * Mong Dun Shun Kham or Ahom kingdom – The Mueang (currently the states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh in North-East India), established by a Tai Prince Sukaphaa in 1228 with 9000 Tai People migrated from Mong Mao called as Ahom by local people, transformed itself into a huge kingdom by the 17th century that withstood the might of the Mughal Empire.

Thailand
Thailand is colloquially known as Mueang Thai. After the Thesaphiban reforms of Prince Damrong Rajanubhab, city-states under Siam were organized into monthon (มณฑล, Thai translation of mandala), which was changed to changwat (จังหวัด) in 1916. Mueang still can be found as the term for the capital districts of the provinces (amphoe mueang), as well as for a municipal status equivalent to town (thesaban mueang). In standard Thai, the term for the country of Thailand is ประเทศไทย, rtgs: Prathet Thai.

Mueang toponyms
Mueang still forms part of the placenames of a few places, notably Don Mueang District, home to Don Mueang International Airport; and in the Royal Thai General System of Transcription Mueang Phatthaya (เมืองพัทยา) for the self-governing municipality of Pattaya.

Nakhon mueang
Nakhon (นคร) as meaning "city" has been modified to thesaban nakhon (เทศบาลนคร), usually translated as "city municipality". It still forms part of the name of some places.
 * Krung Thep Maha Nakhon
 * Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya
 * Nakhon Lampang
 * Nakhon Nayok
 * Nakhon Ratchasima
 * Nakhon Si Thammarat
 * Nakhon Thai
 * Renu Nakhon

Buri mueang
Sung Noen District is noted for having been the site of two ancient cities: Mueang Sema and Khorakhapura. Pali púra became Sanskrit puri, hence Thai บุรี, บูรี, (buri) all connoting the same as Thai mueang: city with  defensive wall. "Khorakhapura" was nicknamed "Nakhon Raj," which as a portmanteau with Sema, became Nakhon Ratchasima. Though dropped from the name of this mueang, Sanskrit buri persists in the names of others.
 * Buriram
 * Chonburi
 * Sing Buri
 * Suphan Buri
 * Thonburi

Vietnam

 * Muong Cha
 * Muong La
 * Mường Lay
 * Muong Lat
 * Muong Khuong
 * Muong Nhe
 * Muong Te
 * Muong Thanh

Etymology

 * NB: Luo et al. employ /ü/ which may erroneously scan as /ii/.

Müang Fai irrigation system
Müang Fai is a term reconstructed from Proto-Tai, the common ancestor of all Tai languages. In the Guangxi-Guizhou of Southern China region, the term described what was then a unique type of irrigation engineering for wet-rice cultivation. Müang meaning 'irrigation channel, ditch, canal' and Fai, 'dike, weir, dam.' together referred to gravitational irrigation systems for directing water from streams and rivers. The Proto-Tai language is not directly attested by any surviving texts, but has been reconstructed using the comparative method. This term has Proto-Tai-tone A1. All A1 words are rising tone in modern Thai and Lao, following rules determined for tone origin. Accordingly, the term is:
 * in modern เหมืองฝาย
 * in modern ເຫມື່ອງຝາຍ. (NB: SEAlang Library's Lao entry omits tonal marking –  a typographical error.)

Different linguistic tones give different meanings; scholarship has not established a link between this term and any of the terms which differ in tone.

Origin of mueang
Mueang conveys many meanings, all having to do with administrative, social, political and religious orientation on wet-rice cultivation. The origin of the word mueang yet remains obscure. In October 2007, The National Library of Laos, in collaboration with the Berlin State Library and the University of Passau, started a project to produce the Digital Library of Lao Manuscripts. Papers presented at the Literary Heritage of Laos Conference, held in Vientiane in 2005, have also been made available. Many of the mss. illuminate the administrative, social, political, and religious demands put on communities in the same watershed area that insured a high degree of cooperation to create and maintain irrigation systems (müang-faai) – which probably was the primary reason for founding mueang.

Kham Mueang
Kham Mueang (คำเมือง) is the modern spoken form of the old Northern Thai language that was the language of the kingdom of Lan Na (Million Fields). Central Thai may call northern Thai people and their language Thai Yuan. They call their language Kham Mueang in which Kham means language or word; mueang; town, hence the meaning of "town language," specifically in contrast to those of the many hill tribe peoples in the surrounding mountainous areas.

Wikijunior talk:South America/Brazil

What do others think about the way ive divided up this page? The bellman 04:09, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * I like it, because Brazil article must have one or two pages and this separation gives a good overview about the whole country. Insert a Brazil´s regions map would be nice. A short text about Brazil´s history would be nice too. By the way, are you brazilian? Gbiten 16:23, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Não, infelizmente, sou Australiano. I was in brasil for the first half of this year on intercambio, and i feel in love with it. Agora tengo muito saudade de brasil. Btw, i was just looking at wikipedia:Carnival and there is almost nothing about the brazillian carnival, so could you (i presume you are brazillian) add something to it, cause i dont really know that much about it (except for what happens in salvador). thanks. The bellman 00:48, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Spelling
Hey Bellman (go back to shakespeare wikireader, I'm starting up again too! :)). I think there needs to be a standard spelling for Brazil- I've always known it as a Z, but someone is using the s, which is probably also correct- is that a regional thing or a language thing? I changed the first paragraph to z's, but figured I'd ask before I go changing anything else. Lyellin 16:41, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Sorry for confusing you. I always spell it with an 's' out of habit, becuase that is how it is spelt in portuguese. In english however the correct spelling is with a 'z'. Sorry i didnt realise i was using an 's'. ill go fix it up. If i accedently do it again, go right ahead and change it to a 'z'. i dont know how much time ill have for the bard, but ill try and devote any spare wikitime to him. The bellman 22:42, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I had "thought" that was the case- but I couldn't be sure. I'll make changes to, as I find them- I'm hanging around the wikijunior stuff. Yea- I'm gonna be focusing more on WS now, so if you've got any time, stop back- I wanna get that off the ground finally. Lyellin 22:59, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * You know, we can have different spellings for different versions. If we can find a good direct-to-print (or if "print from disk", if you prefer) printer, and they don't mind, languages aside, we can vary bits and pieces of the magazine from country to country, even different ones for different regions (like particular provinces, say). While we'd have to make sure that one standardised edition was working perfectly before doing anything else, this could help make the content more relevant to everyone. --  user:zanimum

 * Bem-vindo versus bem vindo : I am no Portuguese teacher, but since I noticed there has been a few edits concerning the use of "bem vindo" I thought it would be a good idea to create a discussion here. As far as I know "bem-vindo" is an adjective and needs a verb of some sort. Like in "you are welcome here". "Bem vindo" is for the use in this article, for "Greetings!" So one would say "Bem vindo ao Brasil" or "Seja bem-vindo ao Brasil". Yeah... pretty confusing for me too... I tried to find an article explaining this online but Google treats hyphens as spaces on its searches. -- user:CrisDias

image suggestions
I did some additions to the module, but since my English is very poor, I think the text needs revision. Also, I would suggest some images:
 * Brasilia's map - it's shaped like an airplane, the city concept was created by famous architect Oscar Niemayer
 * Northeastern "Sertão" is constantly affected by droughts, perhaps an image of that could serve to teach kids that Brazil's is not only a place of parties and beauties.
 * A picture of São Paulo central streets would be great; the city is very similiar to metropolis of developed countries.

I live in São Paulo, so if there's any doubt or question, ask me! Marcelo Reis 01:03, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * You say that Paulistano is the word used to mean someone who lives in São Paulo, i always thougth it was Paulista. So what does Paulista mean then? The bellman 01:58, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Palista is who was born in São Paulo state
 * Paulistano is who was born in the city of São Paulo
 * Gbiten 02:51, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Who lives in Rio isn't Carioca, to be Carioca, like me, must be born in Rio (the city). The same works to be Palistano and Paulista. Gbiten 03:03, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Gbiten, I changed to "paulistano" because the text is refering the city of São Paulo, not the state; so the correct term for Rio is "carioca", indeed. Marcelo Reis 15:28, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

centralweastern
I removed this sentece: "The centralweastern region is the least populated region in Brazil." because the northern region is the least populated region in Brazil. Gbiten 03:23, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * My mistake, sorry. Marcelo Reis 15:29, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Ops... Brazil's region pop comparision
 * The centralwestern is the least populated region. Perhaps you was confused by the article on pt Wikipedia. I fix the information there, too. Marcelo Reis 18:18, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * You are wright, Tocantins is northern region now, when it wasn't separate from Goias the northern region is the least populated. I will correct the article. Gbiten 00:05, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Carnival
With the carnival infobox i was following the idea set out by this. The idea is that the information in the infobox is more indepth on a particular topic, so that those who want to know more can easily read it, and those who dont or cant can easily skip it with out missing any of the greater naritive. What do other people think? should it just be a normal heading? should we have more infoboxes? The bellman 04:21, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Titling, ie the northeast example
Feel pretty. Oh so pretty. And let that show in titles and subtitles. Otherwise, these are no better than the World Book for Kids. It's okay to be a little POV in this aspect, as long as it doesn't hurt the grand scheme of things. Don't mock anything, but just have fun with it. -- user:zanimum

 * Oh so pretty and witty, and OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH i feel pretty, like the preetiest girl in the world. The bellman 22:22, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC) btw, i think your titling idea is great.

translation help
I need to translate these words to english: Gbiten 18:34, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * cana-de-acúcar - a plant used to produce sugar and alcohol
 * brasa - when a wood is on fire, the wood turn red, brasa is the red part of wood on fire.

 * cana-de-açucar = sugarcane,
 * brasa = ember. Marcelo Reis 19:31, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Carnival´s photo
This carnival´s photo isn´t from Brazil, I will try to find some photo in public domain. Gbiten 07:44, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Spanish vs. Portuguese
Im reasonably sure that there are actually more portuguese speakers in South America than there are Spanish speakers. There are more Spanish speakers in the WHOLE of latin america, but because brasil is so huge i think .pt beats .es in south america. Does anyone have any statistics for how many ppl speak spanish in south america? The bellman 23:21, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * This wikipedia article says that Brazil has 176,029,560 ppl and South America has 355,070,540 ppl, so 49.5% of South America's ppl are brazilian and speak portuguese. Gbiten 22:18, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * and the pop of French Guiana (french speaking) is 182,333 and Guyana (enlish speaking) is 698,209 and Suriname (dutch speaking) is 436,494, which adds to 1 317 036, which brings non-spanish speakers up to 177 346 596, which means that spanish still has a majority of 188 674 speakers.

 * However, there are between 8 to 13 million people who speak Quechua as thier first language, a lot of whom speak little or no spanish, living in spanish speaking countries. But i know of no precise statistics.

 * So basicly it looks like both Spanish and Portuguese are minority languages in south america, both with about 49% share. The bellman 22:38, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

let's not forget that brazil has one of the highest population growths in the region, while the most populated spanish speaking countries in south america (colombia, argentina) are dropping their numbers when it comes to population growth, portuguese is indeed the most spoken languagei n south america, however spanish is a far more important and international language, therefore it overshadows the portuguese language.

My edition to History section
Hi, I've just made some editions to History section that some may not agree with because of the focus of the project, but here's my reasons:

 * first, I've corrected Portuguese spelling of Álvares Cabral (we always write his name with S instead of Z) and Goiás state (without the acute accent in the version for English-speaking kids to read).
 * I've specified that an Emperor is a kind of king, instead of a kind of leader. I think this is a better piece of information and not too precise.
 * The biggest change: I've rewritten the last paragraph to make clear there were two dictatorship phases in Brazil. They were different in time (1930s-1945, 1964-1985) and nature, and the democratic phase between them was of great importance to the country - it was when important places such as the nation's first steel mill, and Brasília, were built; when oil was first discovered here; and it's an important time for our culture, with writers like João Guimarães Rosa and the Bossa Nova movement in music.

 * I have a little bit of an issue regarding the NPOV of that last paragraph. I lived in Brazil when it went from a military dictatorship to civilian control (which was an amazing experience), and certainly a simplification of what occured there should be covered.  While I believe as well that there were many murders and assasinations (including the President of the Republic in 1985 by the military that got hushed up real good), I feel that this is more political opinion and not necessarily something that needs to be done as abruptly as stated here.  I guess I'm complaining that there is a period of over 60 years of modern history of Brazil that has been compressed down to 3 sentances, and it certainly could be expanded signifcantly.  Well, at least a couple of paragraphs.  The NPOV issue is still there, however, and I don't know an easy way to deal with it. --Rob Horning 10:08, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Maps
Hi, you will find maps of Brasil at commons: --Patrick-br 15:59, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Maps of Brazil

Racism
Many people in the Southern region are descended from Europeans. Golly gee, I guess this means the other regions in Brazil are simply uninhabited. And in any case, I strongly doubt that "many people" means more than a small minority. Most Brazilians are undoubtedly mestizo or mulatto. The only country in the whole of South Americas that's primarily white is Argentina, the rest are primarily Indian or Black. <IP_ADDRESS> 21:00, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Townie: A Memoir

Townie – A Memoir is a 2011 memoir by American novelist and short story writer Andre Dubus III. It details Dubus' childhood in Haverhill, Massachusetts and his frequently turbulent relationship with his father Andre Dubus II.

Summary
Dubus writes about growing up in Haverhill, Massachusetts in the 1970s after his parents divorced. Dubus and his three siblings spent much of their time alone while their mother worked to support the family. Dubus describes his years as a boxer, how it saved his life, and led him to writing.

Characters
The main characters are his family and friends. He grew up with three siblings.

Reception
Writing for The Guardian, William Skidelsky described Townie as "a mesmerising work, one of the best accounts I've encountered of violence and its causes". In its review, the New York Times complemented Dubus for "not leaning on easy redemption" in the story's conclusion and avoiding "the usual signifiers of today’s ’70s Nostalgia Industrial Complex, no peace-sign key chains or smiley-face T-shirts, none of the goofy stoners and ditsy girls in tube tops that American television viewers have become accustomed to".
