Swap: Remove Hovercraft, add Submarine
There seems to be some fuzziness about whether moderately popular types of marine vehicles belong at level 4 or level 5. For instance, of tugboat and riverboat, which is a VA4 and which is a VA5? (A: the latter is a VA4.) We don't list sailboat (I guess since it overlaps with sailing) at VA4, but we do list barge. You get the idea. That said, I think hovercraft ought to fall on the VA5 side of the spectrum, and submarine on the VA4 side. This isn't just about their importance in warfare (where, idk, maybe they're about equal), but rather the extent to which they occupy the public imagination and appear in popular culture (where submarine has a clear advantage). - Sdkb (talk) 16:26, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

I am interested in this section, I got sailing sail  and sailing sport  added a while back, we also do not cover general idea of rowing or perhaps oar, although we do list canoe.

While I don't want to weigh in specifically on Mencken yet, I do think we should note just how few journalists there are in proportion to the impact they've had on the world. While we need to get the people section overall down to quota, the 16 journalists are dwarfed by the 175 writers (a category with mostly fiction rather than nonfiction), and by categories like actors/actresses (64 total). We currently have about as many rock musicians and association football players as journalists. I'd much rather make cuts elsewhere. Sdkb (talk) 20:38, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

I think that he is not any more that essential in this level. Eysenck made significant scientific contributions, but Britannica describes him briefly: "Hans Jürgen Eysenck, German-born British psychologist best known for espousing controversial views; he held that genetic makeup might be responsible for IQ differences between whites and blacks and that smoking had not been shown to cause lung cancer (b. March 4, 1916--d. Sept. 4, 1997)." Steven Rose writes in Lancet: "...he might have remained only a minor public figure had it not been for his 1971 intervention into the fierce arguments over race and intelligence... Playing with Fire is an apt title for Buchanan's thorough account of Eysenck's controversial career.... the frequent charges against him of manipulating or overinterpreting his (or rather his students') data, his inflammatory entry into the race/IQ controversy, his acceptance of large sums of money from the tobacco industry for research aimed at circumventing the link between smoking and cancer... My own view, as a sceptic about the merits of factor analysis, psychometry, and heritability estimates, is less charitable—not to the man, but to the research field itself, which I suspect that history will judge to have been a blind alley, although one with its roots in the eugenic preoccupations of the past century and with hugely undesirable social consequences."

If I had two spaces to represent conductors on the list I would choose Toscanini and Karajan. Karajan was certainly a more important conductor than Bernstein, though I suppose Bernstein had other strings to his bow. But I don't see how three conductors is too many - if anything we should have more. Conductors are major figures in classical music, but we have fewer conductors than pianists. If we reduced them to two we would have the same number as we had cellists. That would not reflect the relative importance and numbers of famous performers in those two categories.

Black Market (Battlestar Galactica)

"Black Market" is the fourteenth episode of the second season of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica television series. It aired originally on the Sci Fi Channel on January 27, 2006. In the episode, Apollo's investigation of the fleet's black market becomes intertwined with his involvement with a prostitute. The episode was a disappointment both to executive producer Ronald D. Moore and to critics, several of whom called it the series's worst episode.

Plot
Haunted by his near-death experience after ejecting from the Blackbird, Apollo begins sleeping with Shevon, a prostitute on Cloud Nine who reminds him of his pregnant girlfriend who died in the Cylon attack on the Twelve Colonies. Dee asks Apollo whether their relationship is going anywhere; he brushes her off.

President Laura Roslin decides to crack down on the black market within the fleet. Commander Jack Fisk at first advises against it but then volunteers Pegasus to take the lead. Fisk is later found garrotted in his quarters. Assigned to investigate the murder, Apollo discovers Fisk was heavily involved in the black market, and that Vice President Gaius Baltar and Colonel Saul Tigh were among Fisk's trading partners. Roslin privately asks Baltar to resign; the suggestion insults Baltar and redoubles his determination to stay in office.

Responding to an emergency call from Shevon, Apollo rushes to Cloud Nine to find her bruised and distressed. Thugs enter Shevon's room and attack Apollo. As he is being strangled, a gangster tells Apollo to stop investigating Fisk's murder, threatens Shevon and her daughter Paya if he refuses, and knocks Apollo out. Apollo wakes to find Shevon and Paya gone and the wielder of the garrote murdered.

Tom Zarek enters the room soon after. He claims he refused to join Fisk's smuggling network and suggests that the murderer's corpse was given to Apollo as "a way out" of his investigation. Apollo is not dissuaded, so Zarek mentions a man named Phelan who runs the black market and gives Apollo the location of his ship. On Phelan's ship, Apollo discovers the black market is hoarding antibiotics and trafficking in children; Paya is among their prisoners. Phelan, who turns out to be the gangster from before, reveals that Shevon works for him and defends the black market as necessary. Apollo offers Phelan amnesty if he will release Shevon and Paya and shut down his operation. When Phelan refuses, Apollo wrests a bodyguard's handgun and kills Phelan. Apollo acknowledges that the fleet needs the black market and so doesn't shut it down. However, he warns the smugglers to remove the human smuggling, hoarding and murder parts of their operation or he will shut them down.

Roslin objects but acquiesces to the resolution. Zarek makes his way aboard Phelan's ship surrounded by his men, indicating that Zarek will take over the black market. Shevon refuses to see Apollo again, saying she cannot replace his lost love. Dee returns to Billy Keikeya.

Production
Apollo's journey through the fleet's criminal underground culminating with the encounter with Phelan was inspired by Heart of Darkness. The writers were initially excited by the combination of this storytelling device with the opportunity to complicate Apollo's character. Moore was happy with the script when it was written but gradually came to believe the episode was deeply flawed. In October 2005 he wrote, in reference to the still unaired "Black Market", that he was "positively angry with myself at something I knew in my bones had fallen well below the bar I set for myself and for the show in general." In particular, he felt that the episode was too conventional in its story and execution. Moore attributed what he considered a drop in quality from other episodes to the second season's increased production schedule; nonetheless, he insisted that the responsibility belonged with him rather than with the circumstances or with anyone else who worked on the episode.

Moore was particularly disappointed with how the black market's illegality is established. At first, Moore notes, it is difficult to see what distinction Roslin makes between legitimate and illicit commerce in a post-apocalyptic environment. The distinction may only become clear to the audience once the child trafficking is revealed, but Moore came to regard this as a "cheap" dodge of the dilemma.

Reception
Critics mostly shared Moore's disappointment with "Black Market". Rose Wojnar of The San Diego Union-Tribune gave the episode a D+, calling it "one of the weakest, if not the weakest, episode of an otherwise outstanding series so far." Jacob Clifton of Television Without Pity gave it a D, writing, "Good acting is marred by nonsensical plot and unreadable dialogue." Clifton later elaborated that the episode "sucked hard". Keith McDuffee of TV Squad considered the episode unrealistic and unnecessary. Amanda Keith of the Los Angeles Newspaper Group wrote, "'Black Market, one of the most reviled episodes of the entire series, deserves it." Simon Brew of Den of Geek wrote, "this probably the weakest episode of the show [so far] ... [but] it still manages to blast pretty much every other show off the screen." Jason Davis of Mania gave "Black Market" an A−, praising the development of Apollo's character and Bill Duke's performance but criticizing the plot; nonetheless, Davis called it "better than most of the programming on TV."

In September 2007, Adam Swiderski of UGO called "Black Market" the series's worst episode, calling it "one big, confused mess that has nothing to do with anything". StephenFlagg (Dean Spence) of ScrewAttack also called it the series's worst episode, but said, "Bad? Yes. Boring? Yes. Terrible? No." Alan Sepinwall praised Duke's performance but called "Black Market" "one of the series' low points".

It was the other way around! P.J. Proby used the members of what was later to become Led Zeppelin as backing musicians, when they were studio musicions. Together they did the album P.J. Proby - Three Week Hero, released in 1969. They called themselves The New Yardbirds then. On P.J.

alcohol
I like Proby, so I don't want this to come across as "piling on" of any sort. But for sake of consistency, his alcohol problems per Focus (band) should appear in his bio:
 * Van Leer was sceptical as Proby was not familiar with the band and the singer was going through a period of heavy alcohol abuse. Upon Proby's arrival, Albers recalled: "He drank Four Roses whiskey the whole day, so much so that the nearest liquor store was soon sold out ... he always had the intention to run away"

And it's got a couple of sources. Weeb Dingle (talk) 13:48, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

How to go about implementing a problem solution as a program

Course Navigation

A common misconception newcomers have to programming is that when a programmer approaches a problem, he or she just sits down at a computer and starts typing out straight code. (Well, ok, some programmers do this, but it's a bad idea for all but very simple cases as it leads to messy, difficult to maintain code).

Here's an approach to programming problems that has served me well over the years. Let's take an example... something not too complicated... hmm... Ok, let's say you want to make the computer play the Hangman word game. Here's a good way to go from idea to finished program:

1. State the problem and figure out in more detail what you need to accomplish.

You want the computer to play hangman. In more detail, what is that going to require? Well let's think... - We'll need some way for the user to guess a letter (by hitting a key on the keyboard). - We should draw the hanging man somehow... we can represent him by simple characters like so: o       -|- /| - We should display the correct guesses as well as blanks, something like this: H_MB_RG_R

Ok, that gives us a rough idea of what we need to accomplish.

2. Go from your requirements to an English language procedure. (of course you can replace English with your native language :)

Alright, we have some idea of what we need to do, now how can we do it? Well let's go through our requirements one by one, and start programming in English.

Make up a mystery word. We need to wait until the user types a letter on the keyboard. Then we'll check if the letter they guessed is one of the letters in the mystery word. Then we update the mystery word with the guessed letters, if necessary. And then we redraw the man, if necessary. And then we loop back to the beginning and start over. We'll stop looping if the mystery word is fully revealed, or the man gets fully hanged.

Alright, we're halfway there! Note that we haven't needed to deal with a single word of programming language. In fact we could implement this program in just about any language. The algorithm is the important part, the actual implementation is just details; it's been said that 90% of a programmers time is not spent actually writing code, but figuring out how it will work.

3. Go from English to pseudo-code. Pseudo-code isn't really a programming language, but it looks kind of like one. Comments (the text after "//") are an important part of code. Sometimes computer code can be hard to read, so comments help us keep straight what certain things are for, at a glance; it makes the code easier to understand both for other programmers and for ourselves should we come back to this code at some point down the road (think about whether or not you remember the whole script from a movie you saw a long time ago, or just the message behind the movie).

Note that "//" before a line indicates a comment.

//The game has started. We need a word to guess. theMysteryWord = makeUpAMysteryWordRepresentedBy

Talk:Other Free Learning Resources

where can I find more information on the "hunters-gatherers" project? It seems like it would be great to have an index of learning material from accross the internet, especially conscidering how many teachers are creating great material and posting it free around the internet these days. One place that I have found is physicsforums.com.... how would I go about integrating these materials into wikiversity? If an experienced wikiversity member could message me somehow, that would be swell ~morpheus2485

because I haven't gotten a response in a whole 5 minutes, I'm going to start indexing the materials that i know of right here. I figure they can be copied and pasted in the future as needed.... If i am somehow going about this the wrong way (which is increadibly likely), someone please clue me in.

Some thoughts
--JWSchmidt 12:00, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * "integration" - the basic strategy is to use hypertext links.
 * reviews - it would be useful if Wikiversity had short reviews of websites that provide good learning resources.

Hunter-gatherer what?
What are we Hunting and gathering here? Could we list tcollege courses with online notes?--Rayc 22:28, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure....any and all types of online learning resources. --JWSchmidt 23:50, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Moving Gnacademy.org content to wikiversity
I'm administrator of http://www.gnacademy.org/ The site has lots of useful information but is dormant due to the lack of community able to maintain it. I'd like to move the content of that site onto wikiversity. There is wiki material on distance learning and a course/degree database. The wiki stuff can be moved easily. The database is harder to move, and could be part of a wikidata project.

See Globewide Network Academy --Roadrunner 19:52, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Structure
This project could quickly become extraordinary unwieldy—my favorites folders contain dozens of learning resources on the internet, and I'm only one person. Some sort of structure should be adopted to help organize all this information in a useful manner. The Jade Knight 01:16, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree. This general "hunter-gatherers project" might fruitfully find and catalog content-rich websites with large numbers of online resources. Maybe we could start with "hunter-gatherer catalog" pages corresponding to each Wikiversity school, and link to those pages from the school pages. Specific webpages outside of Wikiversity that are about any particular topic can be linked to from the specific Wikiversity pages for that topic. In general, we need ways of getting Wikiversity participants to become aware of what learning resources already exist at other websites (including Wikipedia and Wikibooks) so that we do not waste time re-inventing what is already available. --JWSchmidt 01:59, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I completely agree, and am going to get on top of that. I'm not terribly great at editing articles and coming up with original content, but I am *very* good at finding materials for other people to use, and reviewing the materials that I find. I think this page for the "Hunter-Gatherer's Project," should be a portal/School unto itself, devoted to finding and reviewing materials for others to use rather than creating new materials. Alorocaste 04:18, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Just to bring this old topic back up, I can review the materials. Portal status could be given when a good, critical review of the sites has been written. Thanks, AP --Sunstar NW XP 21:57, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Change the name?
I stumbled on this resource quite recently, and it's very useful (so useful, in fact, that I've made it one of my Bookmarks). However, its name is misleading. I thought it was a learning project about actual hunter-gatherers and the only reason I saw it is that I'm curious about that subject. This seems to have the potential to become a larger and more important resource than it is, if it were re-named and given a link on Wikiversity's main page. --AFriedman 21:00, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

OER Grapevine
OER Grapevine is a list of open educational resources projects, may be useful. --Rogerhc 23:31, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Categories
I think this list of resources would be more useful if organized by resource category rather than alphabetically. For example, putting all of the college/university resources together, etc. -- Dave Braunschweig (talk) 00:45, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

 * I think people should be able to sort by whatever detail they want which a sortable table would allow. Probably would be easier to maintain by using templates with default values for empty columns. -- dark lama  15:06, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Fragged (Battlestar Galactica)

"Fragged" is the third episode of the second season of the Battlestar Galactica television series. It aired originally on the Sci Fi Channel on July 29, 2005. It is the first episode in which Starbuck does not appear.

In the episode, on Kobol, Crashdown leads an ill fated assault on a Cylon missile battery. Gaius Baltar frags Crashdown, to Head Six's approval, shortly before the survey team is rescued. On Galactica, Colonel Saul Tigh's gambit to discredit President Laura Roslin fails, and he declares martial law.

"Fragged" received an award at the 2005 VES Awards for the (animated) Cylon Centurions appearing in the episode. Critics reviewed "Fragged" favorably.

Plot
In "Scattered", Head Six told Baltar that they would have a child. Crashdown ordered Specialist Tarn to retrieve medical supplies to treat the wounded Specialist Socinus, but Tarn died in a Cylon ambush. In "Valley of Darkness", Chief Galen Tyrol and Specialist Cally brought the supplies, but Socinus died anyway.

Kobol
Crashdown leads a brief funeral for Tarn and Socinus. Six tells Baltar that, because they died on Kobol, Tarn and Socinus have only oblivion waiting them. Later, Baltar asks why God would want to bring a child into a world so full of killing; Six replies that God wants to give humanity a chance at redemption.

Tyrol observes Cylons building a missile battery, which he believes they will use to shoot down human search parties. Crashdown orders an attack on the battery despite the team's inexperience in combat and inadequate equipment. Tyrol privately tries to persuade him to instead attack the guidance system, which is less heavily guarded, but Crashdown waves the bloody shirt of Tarn and Socinus and pulls rank. Tyrol is unconvinced but nonetheless silences Baltar's protests during Crashdown's briefing.

Six warns Baltar that one of the survivors will betray the others and that his life is in danger, because what happens on Kobol is not God's will. Crashdown refuses to change the plan even after discovering that the Cylons have reinforced the battery. Cally freezes up under pressure, and Crashdown threatens to kill her unless she obeys his orders. Baltar shoots Crashdown before he can carry out his threat; Six congratulates him.

Tyrol destroys the Cylon guiding system in time to save the rescue Raptors, which in turn destroy the Cylons. The survivors cover up Crashdown's murder. Baltar despairs at the thought that killing rather than culture is humanity's legacy.

Galactica
Doctor Cottle arrives and operates on Commander William Adama, saving his life. Cottle is unavailable to provide Roslin with her cancer medication, and she undergoes severe withdrawal. A drunken Colonel Tigh lashes out at his subordinates. The Quorum of Twelve demands access to Roslin, who is still in Galactica's brig. Ellen Tigh persuades her husband to agree, believing the sight of Roslin's delirious condition will undermine her authority. The plan backfires after Roslin's Marine guard smuggles her medication. She denounces Adama's coup and convinces at least some of the Quorum that she is the leader foretold in their sacred scriptures who will guide humanity to Earth. Furious, Tigh dissolves the Quorum and declares martial law.

Analysis
In a review of "Fragged", Jen Segrest of AOL's TV Squad discusses Baltar's character, calling his "descent into madness... tragic," but also noting that the audience can identify with his guilt for allowing the Cylons into the Colonies' defense computers in the miniseries that served as the series's backdoor pilot. Segrest also notes how Baltar's instinct for self-preservation helps him defend himself and the other survivors against the Cylons and attributes his lie about Crashdown's death to "a bit of honor left in him".

In another review, Jason Davis of Mania reflects on Head Six's comments about humanity's inclination toward killing, noting that Babylon 5 covered similar ground. He describes a difference between humans and Cylons in this regard: humans kill one another, while Cylons do not. Davis also proposes a mythology within the Battlestar Galactica universe, in which the humans killed their creators, the gods who once lived with them on Kobol, whether literally or in the sense of Nietzsche (God is dead). In Davis's view, "The Cylons, having reached a certain advanced point of development, now seek to do likewise" to their own creators, humanity. In his review of the episode "Home, Part 1", Davis compares the Cylons' journey with the events of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. In a January 2006 interview, executive producer Ronald D. Moore said of the Cylons, "they see themselves as the children of humanity, and their worldview says they’ll never really achieve their full potential while their 'parents' are still alive".

Reception
"Fragged" won the 2005 Visual Effects Society Award for the Centurions in the category "Outstanding Performance by an Animated Character in a Live Action Broadcast Program, Commercial, or Music Video".

Critical reaction to "Fragged" was favorable. Segrest reviewed the episode favorably, saying, "Anyone who thought the show would suffer a sophomore slump should be eating their words. This show doesn't just deserve a Hugo award, it deserves Emmys." Davis gave "Fragged" an A and praised the performances of Michael Hogan (Tigh), Richard Hatch (Zarek), and Donnelly Rhodes (Cottle). Susan Tankersley of Television Without Pity gave "Fragged" a B.

Eric Goldman of IGN ranked Tigh taking command at #11 on his list of the top 20 storylines and moments in the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica. He ranked Crashdown's failure of leadership at #12, commenting, "The entire storyline with these characters on Kobol provided the opportunity to elevate several members of the supporting cast in intriguing ways". Jackson Alpern of Maxim ranked Baltar fragging Crashdown as the 10th best moment in the series.

Luis de Eguílaz

Damaso Luis Martínez Eguílaz y Eguílaz (20 August 1830 – 22 July 1874 ) was a Spanish writer and dramatist, father of playwright Rosa de Eguílaz y Renart.

Biography
Luis de Eguílaz was a disciple of the humanist and unfrocked friar Juan María Capitán. He found his dramatic vocation early; at age 14 he premiered the one-act comedy Por dinero baila el perro in Jerez de la Frontera. He studied law in Madrid and began his literary career with a critical study of the novel Clemencia by Fernán Caballero. He sometimes used the pseudonym El Licenciado Escribe (the graduate writer), a play on the name of the famous French dramatist Eugène Scribe.

In court he defended Eugenio de Ochoa, the man of letters and illegitimate son of Sebastián Miñano. Thanks to him, Eguílaz was able to release his first serious work, Verdades amargas, in 1853, the success of which placed him among the most popular authors of the time. In the last years of his life he directed the National Historical Archive. He died on 22 July 1874 in his home on San Agustín Street in Madrid, and was buried in the Cemetery of Saint Nicholas. The news greatly affected Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo, who was spending that summer in Santander, and composed a poem in Eguílaz's memory dated 5 August 1874. There is an oil portrait of Luis de Eguílaz in the Ateneo de Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

Works
Luis de Eguílaz's dramatic works are vigorously conceived, with well-defined characters, but have an excessive and perhaps inflexible lyricism. His theater is that of traditionalist ideology, and indoctrinates through the procedures of costumbrismo. His works can be divided into three groups:
 * 1) Semi-historical works with lyrical features, such as Las querellas del rey Sabio (1858), where he utilizes a good imitation of the medieval fabla; El patriarca del Turia (1874), in which he refers to the writer Juan de Timoneda; La vaquera de la Finojosa (1874), inspired by the famous serranilla of Íñigo López de Mendoza; El caballero del milagro, where he dramatizes the life of the baroque writer Agustín de Rojas Villandrando; Los dos camaradas, in which Miguel de Cervantes and John of Austria are the main characters; Miguel de Cervantes, the first part of which was left without an ending by Ventura de la Vega at his death, which Eguílaz finished and added a dramatic one-act proem titled "Un hallazgo literario" which explains the genesis of the work; Alarcón (1853), about the Mexican playwright Juan Ruiz de Alarcón; Una aventura de Tirso (1855), about the celebrated comedy writer Gabriel Téllez; Una broma de Quevedo; Cuando ahorcaron a Quevedo; Lope de Rueda; etc.
 * 2) Works of moralizing and practical tenor, such as Mentiras dulces (1859), Verdades amargas (1853), Los soldados de plomo (1865), La cruz del matrimonio (1860; his greatest success), Grazalema, Quiero y no puedo, La vida de Juan Soldado, etc.
 * 3) Zarzuela librettos: El salto del pasiego (1878; posthumous, with music by Manuel Fernández Caballero), El molinero de Subiza (1870; music by Cristóbal Oudrid, undoubtedly his greatest success in this genre), El esclavo (1857), etc.

I came here as a result of a linkin post. A post was made saying that this article should be consulted when looking at CAATS. The person who made the post is a project development manager with ESKORT and has a first name begining with MI and a last name begining with SOU---I have no doubt that user:MISOU who created this page is that user. This article is basically intended to be a comparison between the top dog in the CAATS field ACL with an unknown product. The article does not contain the other big names in the field and includes incomplete information on ACL; but goes into detail on a small company trying to gain a foothold in the field. In essence, imagine an article comparing Computer models. The article lists IBM and a small computer manufacturer, but omits HP, Dell, Apple, and Acer. The fact that it is being used elsewhere as promotion is further grounds for concern. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:10, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Well, you're free to add the other tools to the comparison tables to improve the comparisons. Misuo (talk) 07:17, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The intention with the page is not advertising nor promotion, but objective comparison for the good of the community so that people interested in these tools have something to compare with. It's like any other comparison table on Wikipedia. Examples like Comparison of web browsers or Comparison of graphics file formats. Misuo (talk) 07:17, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

If this page weren't advertising, I'd expect to see some mention of non-commercial data analytic tools for auditing, such as Picalo. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 08:40, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Multiculturalism In Canada
Multiculturalism is defined as the co-existence of diverse cultures, where culture includes racial, religious, or cultural groups and is manifested in customary behaviours, cultural assumptions and values, patterns of thinking, and communicative styles.

Overview
This article aims to address the key facts of multiculturalism. Multiculturalism in Canadian society aims to allows each individual equal expressive rights along with the ability to take pride in their own culture, religion, or ancestry. Although there are limits, each citizen is given the freedom to religion, and to peacefully practice their religion without judgment or discrimination. Multiculturalism has become accepted by the majority of Canadians living in major cities, which enabled society as a whole to gain a sense of security and confidence within the diverse cultures that surround everyday life. Multiculturalism encourages Canadians to take an active part in social and cultural events within communities, and allows room for growth in areas such as education, various cultures and religions that are present within the multicultural communities at present.

Multiculturalism in Canadian Education
Multiculturalism is taught at a variety of levels within the Canadian education curriculums. Most education plans are created, maintained and evaluated provincially however key elements such as Canadian Geography, Mathematics, Science and Canadian History are federally required in all education plans nationwide.

Mandatory schooling (grades one through ten) consist of these core requirements within the Canadian education system. In combination with events such as Black History Month and recognition of different religious holidays, students and faculty are learning and incorporating unique differences of humanity into their lives. Unique religious groups exist within public schools nationwide granting every student access to freely express their religion along with learn and assimilate with others. Racial and ethnic differences found within public schools further allow students to co-exist with one another in a harmonious setting. Catholic school education plans are the only education plans noted to exclude the acceptance of other religions within the school as all students are required to follow the same faith, removing the element of religious multiculturalism within the school.

Legislature and Public Policy
Social acceptance of Multiculturalism within Canada is present in changes of public policy along with legislature. In the Constitution Act, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms enacted in 1982 has undergone a multitude of revisions in order to account for the diversity of ethnicity, race and religions found globally. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms aims to ensure every citizen equal protection and representation under the law, the missing element of Multiculturalism in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in the inclusion of different sexual orientations.

Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

Section 2: Fundamental Rights

Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
 * (a) freedom of conscience and religion;
 * (b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
 * (c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and
 * (d) freedom of association.

Section 15: Equality Rights

(1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability. (2) Subsection (1) does not preclude any law, program or activity that has as its object the amelioration of conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups including those that are disadvantaged because of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.

Canadian Multiculturalism Act
The Canadian Multiculturalism Act was enacted in 1984. It outlines the importance of multiculturalism throughout Canadian legal policy. The preamble consists of specific WHEREAS that identify this act and its definitions being incorporated into other federal legislature. Examples being, Official Languages Act, Citizenship Act, Canadian Human Rights Act and International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. This act serves as further evidence of Canadian societies support for multicultural social cohesion.

Section 3: Multicultural Policy

(1) It is hereby declared to be the policy of the Government of Canada to:
 * (a) recognize and promote the understanding that multiculturalism reflects the cultural and racial diversity of Canadian society and acknowledges the freedom of all members of Canadian society to preserve, enhance and share their cultural heritage;
 * (b) recognize and promote the understanding that multiculturalism is a fundamental characteristic of the Canadian heritage and identity and that it provides an invaluable resource in the shaping of Canada’s future;
 * (c) promote the full and equitable participation of individuals and communities of all origins in the continuing evolution and shaping of all aspects of Canadian society and assist them in the elimination of any barrier to that participation
 * (d) recognize the existence of communities whose members share a common origin and their historic contribution to Canadian society, and enhance their development

European Heartbreak

European Heartbreak is the second studio album by Dutch singer-songwriter Amber Arcades. It was released on 28 September 2018, under Heavenly Recordings.

Release
On 12 April 2018, the song "Goodnight Europe" was released as a single. It was accompanied by a short film which indicated some of the themes from the forthcoming album and previewed excerpts from both the single and other songs, though at this point there was no formal announcement about its release. On 23 April, Amber Arcades announced the release of the new album, along with another single "Simple Song". The third single "Alpine Town" was released on 23 July 2018. Amber Arcades said of the single: "I wrote this song exactly a year ago while on holiday in Guillestre, a small town in the French Alps. I was kind of in a sad place and my boyfriend had dragged me along to get away from all that, but I guess it doesn't really work like that, ha. It just made me reflect on the sad part of the tourist condition as a metaphor for life." The fourth single "Where Did You Go" was released on 6 August 2018.

Critical reception
European Heartbreak was met with "generally favorable" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 74, based on 11 reviews.

Talk:David Horowitz (consumer advocate)

Snakes in a Can
Horowitz had a trademark gag on his show "Fight Back", which involved offering audience members various products that had been tampered with in a manner similar to the old "jumping snakes in a can of peanut brittle" prank. Of course, the victim had no one but himself to blame if he were to ignore Horowitz' oft-repeated admonition to "Always read the label!" I'm not sure to what extent Horowitz was a catalyst for the adding of "Nutritional Information" labels to food packaging, but in the era when a list of ingredients was all you had to go on, he offered tips on avoiding unhealthy and overpriced products. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:00, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

1987 KNBC incident someone might wish to incorparate into the article.
The "gun-wielding mental patient" was Gary Stollman (sp?), son of the retired Max Stollman who hosted the "Friendly Pharmacist" segment. The incident was never broadcast. It occurred at the beginning of the Horowitz segment following the commercial break and Stollman was only seen approaching behind from the left while the screen went black. John Beard and Kirsty Wilde were the other two anchors on the set, but Horowitz was seated closest on the left. He was asked to read a one-page manifesto about outer space aliens and the U.S. Government, with the letter ending with the statement, "The gun is just a toy." As far as I know, only this final portion has ever aired. Max Stollman issued a statement that his son had a history of mental problems and was glad Gary was not hurt. I recall the pistol was a Beretta M9-lookalike B.B. gun. Roz666 01:55, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

What's he done lately?
Interesting article, but it sort of ends abruptly in 1992 (as does his IMDB entry). What has he been up to for the last 16 years? Jkp1187 (talk) 14:45, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Potentially biased sentence?
The sentence "As a result, criminals who might have used toy guns to commit robberies are now using real ones because the penalties are identical" needs some sort of citation. Is it really true that the use of toy guns in crimes has dropped due to legislation he helped pass? Without evidence, the sentence seems to be written to imply that Horowitz has made crime more dangerous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:15, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Death
Why is there nothing about his death?

Why does the given date of death in the lede and Infobox not have any reference/source/inline citation?

Where did DOD come from since the "Deaths" page has yesterday (Feb. 18, 2019) as date of reported death?

Even the text in the source for the "Death" page does not give a DOD; the only date 'in' that source is its date of publication.

I think there are lots of questions that need to be answered/cleared up. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 12:29, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Cornelia Parker

Cornelia Ann Parker (born 14 July 1956 ) is an English visual artist, best known for her sculpture and installation art.

Life and career
Parker was born in 1956 in Cheshire, England. She studied at the Gloucestershire College of Art and Design (1974–75) and Wolverhampton Polytechnic (1975–78). She received her MFA from Reading University in 1982 and honorary doctorates from the University of Wolverhampton in 2000, the University of Birmingham (2005), the University of Gloucestershire (2008) and the University of Manchester (2017).

In 1997, Parker was shortlisted for the Turner Prize along with Christine Borland, Angela Bulloch, and Gillian Wearing (who won the prize). She was Honorary Professor at the University of Manchester 2015-2018 and between 2016 and 2019 was Visiting Fellow at Lady Margaret Hall Oxford. She was appointed Honorary Fellow at Trinity Hall, Cambridge in 2020.

Parker has one daughter, and lives and works in London. Parker's mother was German and was a nurse in the Luftwaffe during the Second World War. Her British grandfather fought in the Battle of the Somme in the First World War.

Cornelia Parker's first solo museum exhibition was at the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston in 2000. In 2019 she had a survey exhibition at MCA Sydney. A major survey exhibition of her work opened at Tate Britain in May 2022.

Work
Parker is best known for large-scale installations such as Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View (1991) – first shown at the Chisenhale Gallery in Bow, East London – for which she had a garden shed blown up by the British Army and suspended the fragments as if suspending the explosion process in time. In the centre was a light which cast the shadows of the wood dramatically on the walls of the room. This inspired an orchestral composition of the same name by Joo Yeon Sir.

In contrast, in 1997 at the Turner Prize exhibition, Parker exhibited Mass (Colder Darker Matter) (1997), suspending the charred remains of a church that had been struck by lightning in Texas. Eight years later, Parker made a companion piece "Anti-Mass" (2005), using charcoal from a black congregation church in Kentucky, which had been destroyed by arson. Hanging Fire (Suspected Arson) (1999) is another example of Parker's suspended sculptures, featuring charred remains of an actual case of suspected arson.

The Maybe (1995) at the Serpentine Gallery, London, was a performance piece conceived by Tilda Swinton, who lay, apparently asleep, inside a vitrine. She asked Parker to collaborate with her on the project, and to create an installation in which she could sleep. Swinton's original idea was to lie in state as Snow White in a glass coffin, but through the collaboration with Parker the idea evolved into her appearing as herself and not as an actor posing as a fictional character. Parker filled the Serpentine with glass cases containing relics that belonged to famous historical figures, such as the pillow and blanket from Freud's couch, Mrs. Simpson's ice skates, Charles Dickens' quill pen and Queen Victoria's stocking. A version of the piece was later re-performed in Rome (1996) and then MoMA, New York (2013) without Parker's involvement.

Avoided Object is an ongoing series of smaller works which have been developed in liaison with various institutions, including the Royal Armouries, British Police Forces, Colt Firearms and Madame Tussauds.

Parker has made other interventions involving historical artworks. In 1998 in her solo show at the Serpentine Gallery she exhibited the backs of Turner paintings (Room for Margins ) as works in their own right, she wrapped Rodin's The Kiss sculpture in Tate Britain with a mile of string (2003) as her contribution to the 2003 Tate Triennial Days Like These at Tate Britain. The intervention was titled The Distance (A Kiss With String Attached). She re-staged this piece as part of her mid-career retrospective at the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, in 2015 and at Tate Britain in 2022.

Subconscious of a Monument (2005) is composed of fragments of dry soil, which are suspended on wires from the gallery ceiling. These lumps are the now-desiccated clay which was removed from beneath the Leaning Tower of Pisa in order to prevent its collapse. These "avoided" objects have often had their identities transformed by being burned, shot, squashed, stretched, drawn, exploded, cut, or simply dropped off cliffs. Cartoon deaths have long held a fascination for Parker: "Tom being run over by a steamroller or Jerry riddled with bullet holes. Sometimes the object's demise has been orchestrated, or it may have occurred accidentally or by natural causes. They might be 'preempted' objects that have not yet achieved a fully formed identity, having been plucked prematurely from the production line like Embryo Firearms 1995. They may not even be classified as objects: things like cracks, creases, shadows, dust or dirt The Negative of Whispers 1997: Earplugs made with fluff gathered in the Whispering Gallery, St Paul's Cathedral). Or they might be those territories you want to avoid psychologically, such as the backs, underbellies or tarnished surfaces of things."

Another example of this work is Pornographic Drawings (1997), using ink made by the artist who used solvent to dissolve (pornographic) video tape, confiscated by HM Customs and Excise. I resurrect things that have been killed off... My work is all about the potential of materials — even when it looks like they've lost all possibilities.

In 2009, for the opening of Jupiter Artland, a sculpture park near Edinburgh, Parker created a firework display titled Nocturne: A Moon Landing containing a lunar meteorite. Therefore, the moon "landed on Jupiter". The following year Parker made Landscape with Gun and Tree for Jupiter Artland, a nine-metre-tall cast iron and Corten steel shotgun leaning against a tree. It was inspired by the painting Mr and Mrs Andrews by Thomas Gainsborough, where Mr Andrews poses with a gun slung over his arm. The shotgun used in the piece is a facsimile of the one owned by Robert Wilson, one of the founders of Jupiter Artland.

For the Folkestone Triennial in 2011, Parker created The Folkestone Mermaid, her version of one of the popular tourist attractions in Copenhagen, The Little Mermaid. Through a process of open submission, Parker chose Georgina Baker, 38 year old mother of two, Folkestone born and bred. Unlike the idealised Copenhagen version, this is a life-size, life-cast sculpture, celebrating womankind. To celebrate the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta, Parker created Magna Carta (An Embroidery), a hand-embroidered representation of the Wikipedia article Magna Carta as it was on 15 June 2014, completed in 2015. Embroiderers included members of the Embroiderers Guild, HM prisoners, Peers, MP's, judges, human rights lawyers, a US ambassador and his staff, and various public figures including Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, Jimmy Wales, Jarvis Cocker and Doreen Lawrence.

Whilst Magna Carta (An Embroidery) was on display at the British Library, Parker presented One More Time, a Terrace Wires commission for St Pancras International Station, London, co-presented by HS1 Ltd. and the Royal Academy of Arts.

In 2016 Parker became the first female artist to be commissioned to create a new work for the Roof Garden of the Met in New York. Transitional Object (PsychoBarn) is a scaled-down replica of the house from the 1960 Hitchcock film “Psycho” and was constructed using a salvaged red barn.

Parker continued her work as a curator for the Found exhibition for The Foundling Museum, which incorporated sixty-eight artists from an array of creative disciplines, as well as contributing her own piece, A Little Drop of Gin. This limited-edition print, nicknamed 'mother's ruin', was a photogravure using a 1750s gin glass and droppings of gin. Parker was named Artist of the Year in the 2016 Apollo Awards for her involvement and contributions in the art world.

Parker appeared in the BBC Four television series What Do Artists Do All Day?, a BBC Scotland production, first broadcast in 2013. In the programme she talks about her life and work. In May 2015, Parker was included in the Brilliant Ideas series broadcast by Bloomberg TV in which she reveals her inspirations and discusses some of her best-loved works. In summer 2016, BBC One broadcast "Danger! Cornelia Parker" as part of the TV series Imagine. In autumn 2016 she was included in Gaga for Dada, a programme to mark the 100th anniversary of Dada, presented by Vic Reeves. She also contributed to the BBC Four production Bricks! broadcast on 21 September 2016, marking the 40th anniversary of Carl Andre's sculpture Equivalent VIII, better known as 'The Tate Bricks'.

On 1 May 2017 Parker was chosen as the official election artist for the 2017 United Kingdom general election; she was the first woman to take on that role.

In 2017, Parker made a series of blackboard drawings with the collaboration of 5- to 10-year-old schoolchildren from Torriano Primary School. The children were asked by the artist to copy out news headlines collected from various UK and US newspapers. 'At that age, children have a barely formed view of the news and world affairs - they don't yet have a vote, but the political turmoil unfolding in their young lives will have a profound effect on their futures'.

In November 2019 Parker opened her first major retrospective exhibition in Australia at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney for the Tenth Sydney International Art Series.

In May 2022 Parkerexhibited 100 artworks at Tate Britain in her largest solo exhibition to date. She showed several of her films, Chomskian Abstract 2007, Made in Bethlehem 2012, War Machine 2015, American Gothic 2016, Left, Right & Centre 2017, Election Abstract 2018, Thatcher’s Finger 2018 and Flag 2022

In May 2023, her photograph "Snap" was used as the cover artwork for the Peter Gabriel song "Four Kinds of Horses".

In November 2024, Parker's glass rendition of the chandelier featured in Van Eyck's The Arnolfini Portrait was suspended in the Procuratie Vecchie in St Mark's Square, Venice. This work was created as part of Murano Illumina il Mondo (“Murano Lights Up the World”) and was the first time in living memory that artworks were permitted to be displayed in the colonnade

Curatorial
In 2011 Parker curated an exhibition titled Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain for the Collections Gallery at the Whitechapel Gallery in London using selected works from the Government Art Collection arranged as a colour spectrum.

For the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 2014, Parker curated the Black and White Room which included a number of well-known artists who she thought should be future Royal Academicians.

In 2016, as part of her Hogarth Fellowship at the Foundling Museum, Parker curated a group exhibition titled FOUND presenting works from over sixty artists from a range of creative disciplines, asked to respond to the theme of ‘found’, reflecting on the museum's heritage.

Honours and recognition
In 2010 Parker was elected to the Royal Academy of Arts, London and appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2010 Birthday Honours. In 2000, 2005 and 2008 and 2017 she received Honorary Doctorates from the Universities of Wolverhampton, Birmingham, and Gloucestershire and Manchester respectively.

Parker won the Artist of the Year Apollo Award in 2016. Other shortlisted artists were Carmen Herrera, David Hockney, Ragnar Kjartansson, Jannis Kounellis and Helen Marten.

Parker was named the official Election Artist for the 2017 general election in the United Kingdom. In this role she observed the election campaign leading up to the vote on 8 June, and was required to produce a piece of art in response. Parker created two films and a series of 14 photographic works as a result of this commission, which were previewed on BBC Newsnight on 2 February 2018 and made available online via the UK Parliament website prior to an exhibition in Westminster Hall.

She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2022 Birthday Honours for services to the arts.

Politics
In politics, prior to the 2015 general election, she was one of several celebrities who endorsed the parliamentary candidacy of the Green Party's Caroline Lucas.

 Portuguese Language Page

Portuguese is spoken by an estimated 240,000,000 people, in the countries of Brazil, Portugal, Mozambique, Angola, São Tomé and Principe, Cape Verde, Macao, and East Timor. That makes it the 6th most spoken language in the world. It is a Romance language meaning that it is derived from Latin. Galician and Fala are the most related languages to it but Spanish is also well known to be similar.

Portuguese is also a Category I language, making it easy for English speakers to learn. More on the Portuguese language will be introduced in the Introductory Course.

 Courses

As of now, there are two Portuguese courses available. Both are under construction and any help would be very useful.
 * Introduction to Portuguese a collaborative work done to aid the curious. This is the absolute beginner's first baby steps into the Portuguese language. NOTE: This course is not needed to be able to move on to the Brazilian Portuguese Course.
 * Brazilian Portuguese for those wanting to learn the Português do Brasil. Feel free to jump right in. Lessons are organized and packed with activities and quizzes to constantly keep your brain working.

Additionally you can find course books on our sister site wikibooks.org .There are three different books for learning portuguese. Again these are at various stages of completion:
 * Portuguese/Contents/L1 and Portuguese/Contents/L2 - For learning european portuguese, a wikibook split across two different levels, and 15 lessons (quite well developed)
 * Portuguese/Contents/BPL1 - For learning brazilian portuguese (very unfinished)
 * Brazilian Portuguese - Also for learning brazilian portuguese (and also very unfinished)

There is also discussion about the duplication of courses

Talk:David Hedison

December 2006
Why does this page not include a mention of the rhythmic beeping of the submarine that Capt. Crane rode in the sea? — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:56, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

"Years active"
In the infobox, Hedison's "Years active" are given as "1949-2005." Yet in the "Theater" section, two plays are given for 2009 and another undated credit for The Marriage Play.

Since the entry/article does not mention anything about Hedison retiring (or him making a statement about retiring), I think the "Years active" in the infobox should be changed to one of the following.
 * 1949-2009
 * 1949-present
 * 1949-{year of "The Marriage Play"}

Of course, some research will be needed for the last option.

Just a thought. 2600:8800:786:A300:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 06:09, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

A quick check at imdb shows acting credits for 2013 and 2017. As such, I think the middle suggestion of "1949-present" should be used. 2600:8800:786:A300:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 06:15, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Anslem de Silva

Kongahage Anslem Lawrence de Silva (ඇන්ස්ලම් ද සිල්වා; born 1 August 1940) is a Sri Lankan biologist and herpetologist recognised as a pioneer of modern herpetology in Sri Lanka. His career spanned for more than five decades; de Silva has contributed to the field of zoology with much research and numerous publications particularly on crocodiles, snakes and lizards.

De Silva is known for conservation of crocodiles in Sri Lanka. He is the regional chairman of the Crocodile Specialists Group of the IUCN, South Asia and Iran.

Personal life
He was born on 1 August 1940 in Matara. He completed education from St. Servatius College, Matara. Before entering the field of biology, de Silva was a renowned magician. He won two national awards at All Island Magic Competition and conducted massive shows from Matara to Jaffna. He also published 22 papers on magic. His son Panduka de Silva is also a naturalist where he worked in Andaman Islands on crocodiles.

Career
While at the school, he rescued a rat snake, which led him to move further in field of science. Then he started to rear few non-poisonous snakes, a baby saltwater crocodile, and a few sea turtles in his home, and villagers started calling him Hoony Mahaththaya (Mr Gecko) due to his frequent outings around the village to catch geckos as a food for snakes. At the age of 17, he read the book Snakes of Ceylon written by Frank Wall which induced him to start researching snakes throughout the country.

In 1964, he joined Faculty of Medicine, Peradeniya, as the museum technician of the Department of Public Health. He retired from Department of Community Medicine in 2000.

He is the founder and president of Amphibia and Reptile Research Organisation of Sri Lanka (ARROS), which he started in 1990. ARROS is the first NGO in Sri Lanka aimed at reptile conservation.

In 2015, he worked as the co-chairman of the Amphibian Specialist Group of the World Conservation Union. He has published more than 450 research publications on herpetofauna in Sri Lanka for last fifty years. He was the first author to publish a reptile guide with coloured photographs. To create public awareness of reptiles and amphibians, de Silva published the Sri Lanka's first series of posters illustrated with coloured photographs in 1990 and 2001.

De Silva organised a number of events at fourth World Herpetology Congress and World Crocodile Congress. In 1991, University of Peradeniya conferred a Master of Science degree for his contributions to the field of zoology. He also worked as a visiting lecturer at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, University of Peradeniya and Rajarata University of Sri Lanka.

The International Ministerial Association (IMA) is an association offering credentials and support to Pentecostal ministers holding to the non-Trinitarian theology of Oneness and affiliated membership to Oneness Pentecostal churches. It was founded in 1954 by a group of ministers who left the larger United Pentecostal Church International (UPCI). The current headquarters of the IMA is located in Shell Lake, Wisconsin.

History
The history of the origins of the IMA is in the early days of the Pentecostal movement when a split took place over a doctrinal dispute concerning the nature of God and the formula for baptism. An early leader of the group advocating for a non-Trinitarian, Oneness understanding of God and for baptism in the name of Jesus was a man by the name of W. E. Kidson. Kidson would later go on to become the leader of the group of ministers who would form the IMA.

Faith & Practice
A key distinction of the IMA is its rejection of what the UPCI and many other Oneness Pentecostals refer to as the “Bible standard of full salvation”. This doctrine teaches that one must repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the purpose of having one’s sins removed, and then give evidence of having received the baptism in the Holy Spirit by speaking in tongues. Instead, the IMA doctrinal statement reads, “We believe our redemption has been accomplished solely by the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ ... and by believing in this finished work, we are justified before God, cleansed of all our sins and redeemed from the curse of the law.” Water baptism in Jesus’ name and baptism in the Holy Spirit evidenced by speaking in other tongues are described as actions which take place after conversion and are not tied to one’s salvation.

Also, noticeably absent from the IMA doctrinal position are the holiness teachings associated with the UPCI from which it emerged and are practiced in some degree by many other Oneness Pentecostal groups. These teachings include such things as forbidding women wearing make-up or cutting their hair, forbidding all members from attending theaters and dances and from owning a television. Many ministers and members of IMA churches will own televisions and will participate in various forms of popular entertainment and culture. Women in most IMA churches are not forbidden from wearing make-up or from cutting their hair.

The IMA self-consciously identifies as an association and not as a denomination. In its literature it emphasizes the freedom this gives ministers and affiliated churches. Likewise, in its constitution it states, "Each church shall be considered sovereign and the pastor is the bishop of his own church or churches."

Día de la Chupina

The Día de la Chupina (Spanish, literally Hooky Day) is a popular event and self-styled "holiday" created by secondary school students in the city of Rosario, Argentina. It is held annually, on the last Friday of every April. On this day, the students (with or without knowledge and/or consent of their parents) do not attend their classes, but gather instead in some particular spots of the city center, especially the National Flag Memorial and the highly commercial pedestrian-only section of Córdoba Street (Peatonal Córdoba).

History
The first instance of the Día de la Chupina recorded in the press dates from 2001. On that occasion the event turned into a riot, in some cases fueled by alcohol consumption, since the first morning hours. Female students were harassed, and certain groups of students were attacked. The police intervened only later, detaining 13 students.

These incidents were repeated in 2002, on a larger scale. A large group or gang of students (between 100 and 200 according to witnesses) threw stones at windows, broke into shops to rob them, and attacked several people. The police detained 38 students.

Similar incidents took place again in 2003, with about 50 students attempting to steal merchandise from shops. The police acted quickly this time, and detained 10 offenders.

The celebrations in 2004 were considerably less problematic, though many shop owners chose to keep their doors temporarily closed. No incidents were reported in 2005 and 2006.

Talk:Carbondale, Illinois

Updating Carbondale, IL
I'm preparing to update [actually, have updated] the Wiki article on Carbondale, IL, specifically the section on "Reveling and Activism." These two terms apparently were paired together only because they were both linked with street disorders in past decades; I think they should be treated separately. And we are now more than 35 years away from the events of 1970; Carbondale now has a proud tradition of (peaceful) political activism that is more relevant in a contemporary encyclopedia article. Likewise the good, the bad, and the ugly of Carbondale's erstwhile Halloween celebration are slipping deeper into the past, farther from relevance in an encyclopedia article that seeks to characterize the city as it is.

I have replacement drafts written [and installed]: A 91-word section on (contemporary, peaceful) activism, and a 75-word summary of today's yearly festivals.

I think Wiki's neutral-viewpoint policy justifies some revisions to tone down the section's present focus on violence and disorder.

I would also like to add [actually, have added] a section, "Culture," about some of the unique cultural ("with both large and small C") institutions and activities in today's Carbondale. My draft is 193 words long.

Kotabatubara 20:00, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Please be sure to use reliable sources and the cite them. The "reveling" section has historically been a high vandalism target and what is there now, at least the last time I checked, is backed by the campus newspaper articles linked. It seemed to be the only free source and though it is probably biased toward the university, I tried to stick to the facts available. I don't support removal of the reveling material completely as it was national news for several years. A paragraph seems adequate, but I wouldn't want it to be much less than that. I also oppose total removal of the 1970s riots, they are notable historically regardless of current activism. --Dual Freq 23:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I have some misgivings about the restored material on the Halloween violence in Carbondale in 2000. In removing those details, I was not trying to whitewash the city's reputation.  But, for one thing, the degree of detail (the number of arrests, and the _individual from Danville_, in particular!) seemed more appropriate to a news report than to an encyclopedia article.  See Wiki's policy on "Neutral point of view", and its admonition to avoid what it calls a "sensationalist" bias, defined as "favoring the exceptional over the ordinary".

 * (To find that definition, on the Main_Page, first column, under "interaction", click "About Wikipedia". In that article, scroll down to the "Contents" box, and click "3.2 Wikipedia content criteria".  On that page, click "2. Wikipedia:Neutral point of view".  On that page, again scroll down to the "Contents" box and click "1.2 Bias".  On that page, find "Sensationalist" in the list.)

 * Note that leaving the details out of the Wiki article would not mean they were lost to history; in the version that I provided, the curious reader can find them by following the link to the Daily Egyptian article that is referenced.

 * My second misgiving about the restored material is that it seems to hold a magnifying glass up to one negative episode in the city's history, presenting it far out of proportion with other aspects that characterize the city. We don't need to deny that those things happened, but it seems inappropriate and even unfair for them to dominate the characterization of the city, where, after all, many other, positive, things are happening nowadays.

 * I'd like to suggest that we consult some neutral third parties and ask them how much detail about specific incidents they feel belongs in an encyclopedia article about a place.

 * Kotabatubara 03:10, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * We seem to have a dispute about what should be included in the article on Carbondale, IL. Reverting to previous text is not the solution, and is counter to Wiki policy.  Before submitting a "Request for Comment" (RfC) to the Wiki page on "Requests for comment/History and geography", I would like to see if we can come to agreement on the nature of our disagreement.  Wiki policy says "Do not post an RfC before working towards a resolution with other article contributors first."

 * Here is a draft of a description of the disagreement. Is it accurate?

 * In an article about a city (Carbondale, Illinois), we have a disagreement about how much detail on negative historical events is consistent with the Neutral Point of View policy. Kotabatubara 14:25, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * (Twelve years later) I have separated the remaining paragraph about the 1980s-1990s Halloween rioting out from the "Activism" section and place it into a (reactivated) "Reveling" section. This hard-partying hooliganism (similar to European "soccer/football hooliganism") was NOT "Activism", IMO.  Alternatively, the Halloween might qualify as part of "Celebrations" or of "Culture", albeit a quite unattractive aspect of either.  IMO, this remains a memorable, if unfortunate, aspect of the joint history of Carbondale and SIU.  (I've never been to the Carbondale area, but I do remember (while in Chicago) reading and hearing media reports of the riots.

 * This paragraph still needs citations (perhaps from those years of the Chicago Tribune, and perhaps should also refer to the non-student instigators arriving from out of town. IMO, if the riots included sexual assault(s), that, too, should be mentioned, with citations.  Acwilson9 (talk) 02:14, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

need photos

pop data
Two different population figures were found in the text, and so I removed the one that read some twenty-nine thousand souls in 2006. This figure didn't have a citation. Boromir's Regret 21:57, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

photo problems
Is anyone else seeing this? Murderbike (talk) 17:55, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Yellow Pages?
The section titled "Retail" reads like a book of Yellow Pages, not an encyclopedia. Is someone really updating it every time a business opens or closes? Is it really necessary to list every shop in town? I don't see anything like this in the articles on other cities that I chose at random (Alton, Champaigne, Marion, and Rockford).

Additional Info
I tried to talk to a business in Carbondale once about handicapped accessibility, they told me they'd break my legs if I ever came in again. I did come back... but they just stopped serving me, no leg breaking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:46, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

"Solardale"?
Where does this name come from? Is it a well-established nickname? If so, it should be noted as such. Regardless, it seems inappropriate as a heading in this article. --Avg W (talk) 05:21, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
