List of Arizona hurricanes

Arizona has been affected by hurricanes on numerous occasions. Usually, these storms originate in the eastern Pacific Ocean, make landfall in the Mexican states of Baja California or Sonora, and dissipate before crossing into the United States. Thus, in most cases, it is only the tropical cyclones' remnant moisture that produces heavy rainfall—and in some occasions, flooding—in portions of Arizona. However, approximately every five years, a tropical cyclone retains sufficient strength to enter the state as a tropical storm or a tropical depression. Arizonans can expect indirect flash floods caused by the remnants of tropical cyclones to occur about every two years.

Tropical cyclones in Arizona are not common, since the predominant wind pattern steers most storms that form in the Eastern Pacific either parallel or away from the Pacific coast of northwestern Mexico. As a result, most storms that could affect Arizona are carried away from the United States, with only 6% of all Pacific hurricanes entering US territory. Not all Arizona hurricanes originate from the Pacific Ocean, however; in July 2008 an Atlantic hurricane named Hurricane Dolly produced rainfall in the eastern portion of the state, and another Atlantic storm reached Arizona as a tropical depression. Many, but not all, of these systems also impacted California.

Despite their rarity, hurricanes are among Arizona's most significant weather makers. In years when Arizona is affected by a tropical cyclone, these can be responsible for up to 25% of the rainfall in areas along the Colorado River. Arizona hurricanes are also responsible for torrential rains in localized areas, with the state's 24-hour rainfall record—11.97 in of precipitation —occurring during Hurricane Nora's landfall in 1997. The heavy rainfall can trigger extensive flash floods, such as the ones produced by the remnants of Tropical Storm Octave in 1983, or the lingering moisture from Tropical Storm Emilia in 2006.

Climatology
Tropical cyclones are not common over Arizona, but on average, a tropical storm or a tropical depression enters the state approximately every five years. However, indirect flash floods caused by the remnants of tropical cyclones are more common, as they tend to occur about every two years.

Storms that approach the southwestern United States, and by extension Arizona, generally form closer to the Mexican shoreline than average, making them more likely to recurve northwards under the influence of an approaching trough. These troughs tend to extend farther to the south during the latter part of the Pacific hurricane season, in the period between late August and early October. These pronounced troughs thus produce a synoptic-scale flow that is conducive to steering hurricanes towards the southwestern United States.

The infusions of tropical moisture from Arizona-bound tropical cyclones can be a significant portion of the rainfall in the region. In years when hurricanes approach Arizona, eastern and northern portions of the state receive on average 6–8% of the monsoon-season precipitation from tropical systems and their remnants. This percentage rises towards the southwestern corner of the state, which can receive up to a quarter of its monsoon-season rainfall from tropical cyclones.

Storms
Tropical storms are one of Arizona's main sources of rainfall, as they infuse the monsoon over the southwestern United States with moisture, producing large-scale floods in occasions. However, all of the storms that have impacted Arizona have formed in the latter parts of the Pacific hurricane season, and only storm remnants have affected the state before August.

Storm systems
Several of these tropical cyclones have caused deaths or heavy property damage, usually due to flooding caused by rain.

Before 1960
Records of tropical cyclones in the East Pacific before 1950 are sparse, but there were still several storms that produced rainfall over Arizona in this period.
 * August 1921: The first known tropical disturbance to affect the state occurred when a remnant low of a tropical cyclone moved into the western portions of the state.
 * September 1921: A tropical depression that had tracked parallel to the Mexican coastline moved into Arizona, causing heavy rainfall on September 30. This tropical storm caused more than three inches of rainfall along the Colorado River valley, with 3.65 in of rain reported in Yuma. Throughout the state, Flagstaff saw 1.50 in of rainfall, while 1.24 in of precipitation fell in Prescott, 0.68 in in Tucson, and 0.56 in in Phoenix.
 * September 1926: Five years later, the remnants of another September storm hit the state, but this time the precipitation was heaviest on the southeastern portion of the state. The 1926 storm caused over 5.00 in of rain in the vicinity of Douglas.
 * September 1927: The remnants of another tropical system caused 1 – of rainfall throughout the state.
 * June 1929: The Atlantic hurricane reanalysis project discovered that a rare Atlantic hurricane reached the eastern part of the state as a tropical depression. Damage from this storm, if any, is unknown.
 * August 1935: The remnants of an unnamed tropical storm that landed on Southern California caused torrential rain and flooding across Arizona, especially along the Santa Cruz River and Rillito Creek on Southern Arizona. The rainfall from the storm contributed to an extremely wet month of August, which still holds the monthly rainfall record at the National Weather Service office in Tucson, as 5.61 in of rainfall fell during the month.
 * September 1939: Two tropical systems entered the state during the month. On September 4, the remnants of a former hurricane entered southwest Arizona, near Yuma. More than 5.00 in of precipitation fell in northwest Arizona, with many parts of the state collecting more than an inch of rain. This same system produced more than twice the average annual rainfall in Imperial Valley, California. On the 11th, the remnants of a separate system also passed over southwest Arizona.
 * August 1951: No tropical cyclones are known to have affected Arizona in the 1940s. However, in the 1950s, the remnants of two more storms affected the state. On August 24, 1951, the moisture from a hurricane that made landfall in Baja California moved over the state, producing more than 5.00 in of precipitation over southwestern Arizona. Flagstaff saw 4.00 in of rain, with similar totals measured at Prescott (3.95 in) and Phoenix (3.24 in). The storm also washed out several roadways near Gila Bend, isolating the city from motorists. Overall, the storm caused $750,000 (1951 USD) in property damage.
 * July 1954: Three years later, the remnants of another hurricane moved over Arizona from the south during the month of July. Damage from this storm is unknown.

1960s

 * September 1962: Remnant moisture from Tropical Storm Claudia caused severe flash floods in the vicinity of Tucson, with 5 to 7 in of precipitation falling over the headwaters of the washes of Santa Rosa, Jackrabbit, and Brawley during a 14- to 15-hour period. Over 7 in of rainfall also fell near the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. The ensuing flood of the Santa Cruz River and its tributaries produced a path of destruction about 100 mi long and up to 8 mi wide. Santa Rosa Wash conveyed 53100 cuft/s at its peak; Los Robles Wash carried up to 32600 cuft/s, while the Santa Cruz River proper peaked at 9200 cuft/s. The washes and rivers reached depths of up to 20 ft, and overflowed its banks in places by 1 to 6 ft. Flooding from the storm inundated the towns of Marana and Sells, both in Pima County. Total damage in Pima and Pinal Counties exceeded $11 million (1962 USD).
 * September 1964: The next storm to affect the state was Tropical Storm Tillie in 1964. Although the storm remained at sea, its residual moisture was advected over southern Arizona, allowing a passing cold front to trigger widespread showers and thunderstorms on the evening of September 9. Tucson received 3.05 in of rainfall in a 24-hour period between September 9 and 10, and two locations—one in the Catalina Mountain foothills and one near Sahuarita—recorded 6.75 in of precipitation. Coupled with rain during the previous week, the Santa Cruz River produced heavy runoff, with peak flows of 15900 cuft/s recorded near Cortaro.
 * September 1965: The following year, the remnants of Hurricane Emily crossed into Arizona from Baja California. Any damage from the storm is not known.
 * September 1966: The remnants of Kirsten caused 1.26 in of rainfall in Nogales.
 * August 1967: Hurricane Katrina brought heavy rainfall into the southern portion of the state as a tropical depression. The decaying storm produced about 2 in of rainfall across southern Arizona. The peak recorded rainfall occurred at Wellton, where 4.78 in were measured between September 1 and 2. Yuma recorded 1.88 in within a 24-hour period; that was the heaviest rainfall recorded in a four-year period, and was more than the normal rainfall that the city receives during the entire fall season.
 * August 1968: Two storms approached Arizona in 1968. The first was Tropical Storm Hyacinth in August. It reached the southeastern corner of the state as a tropical depression, and produced showers and thunderstorms over the eastern portion of the state.
 * October 1968: The last storm to impact Arizona during the decade was Hurricane Pauline, which added high amounts of moisture ahead of a cold front in early October. The added instability in the atmosphere allowed the cold front to produce severe thunderstorms, including an F2 tornado that wrecked several homes and caused $250,000 (1968 USD) in damage when it touched down in Glendale.

1970s

 * September 1970: The remnants of Tropical Storm Norma became Arizona's deadliest storm when they contributed to the disaster known as the "Labor Day storm of 1970". As Norma dissipated, moisture from the cyclone was entrapped in a large extratropical low. Much of the southern and central parts of the state saw 2 to 5 in of rainfall, and mountainous locations saw between 8 and 11.4 in. Much of the region saw extensive flash flooding that killed 23 people and caused significant damage.
 * October 1971: The following year, Hurricane Olivia produced over 2 in of rainfall across Arizona, triggering flash flood warnings throughout the region. Pinal Ranch reported 5.33 in of precipitation, while Mount Lemmon measured 3.81 in. Olivia's remnants also caused three major power outages near Yuma and produced flooding that resulted in the closure of a portion of U.S. Route 95. In Navajo and Pinal counties, the rainfall damaged roads, bridges, sewers, and homes, which amounted to about $250,000 in repair work for the state of Arizona.
 * October 1972: Hurricane Joanne entered Arizona as a tropical storm before dissipating near Flagstaff. Many areas of the state received between 1 and 3 in of rainfall, with isolated locations receiving over 5 in. The Nogales Highway Bridge over the Santa Cruz River was washed away by the flooding. The heavy rain from Joanne saturated the soils for a later storm that produced flooding that caused $10 million (1972 USD) in property damage and eight deaths.
 * September 1976: On September 11, Hurricane Kathleen entered southern California, producing tropical-storm-force winds over western and possibly southern Arizona. Yuma reported maximum sustained winds of 57 mph and gusts of 76 mph before the measuring station lost power. The winds from Kathleen killed a man when a gust of wind blew a palm tree down onto his mobile home. Severe flooding and hailstorms also resulted. While most of the rainfall from the storm fell in California, 2.87 in fell at the Davis Dam on the Colorado River.
 * October 1976: The next month, Hurricane Liza brought light rain to the state, with the state maximum being 1.48 in on Willow Beach.
 * August 1977: Hurricane Doreen caused severe flooding in Yuma County and near Bullhead City. A rain gauge near the city of Yuma saw more than 7 in of precipitation during the storm.
 * October 1977: The remnants of Hurricane Heather caused 8.30 in of rain in Nogales. Extensive bank erosion occurred across southeastern Arizona, as rivers crested over their 100-year flood levels, and 400 people were forced to evacuate their homes. Total damage from the storm was assessed at $15 million (1977 USD).

1980s
The 1980s saw destructive tropical cyclones pass through the state, as was the case with the previous decade.
 * October 1983: A weather system, including moisture from Tropical Storm Octave, caused torrential rains over a ten-day period. The largest precipitation total occurred in Mount Graham, which saw 12.00 in of rain overall. The downpour caused record floods in the San Francisco, Gila, San Pedro, and Santa Cruz rivers. The latter breached its banks near Red Rock, and by its intersection with Interstate 8, had flooded an area over 8 mi wide.  Fourteen people drowned, 975 were injured, and roughly 10,000 people were left homeless after the flooding ended. The amount of damage from the disaster was put at $370 million (year unknown) USD. Other cities in the state also saw heavy rain, with 9.83 in of precipitation measured at Nogales, 6.67 in at Safford, 6.40 in at Tucson, 3.93 in at Flagstaff, 2.65 in at Phoenix, and 2.62 in at Prescott.
 * September 1984: Hurricane Norbert entered Arizona as a weakening tropical depression. Sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph were recorded in the Tucson area. Modest rainfall occurred throughout south-central to northeast Arizona, with most locations reporting between 1 and 2 in of rain. However, Kitt Peak reported a 30-hour storm rainfall total of 4.15 in.
 * October 1984: The following month, the remnants of Hurricane Polo caused about 1 in of rain over southern and eastern Arizona, with Nogales reporting 1.93 in of precipitation.
 * October 1989: Flash flooding produced by Hurricane Raymond caused $1.5 million (1989 USD) in damage in the state. Raymond passed over Arizona as a tropical depression, and produced heavy rainfall on the southeastern portion of the state, with 4.72 in of rain falling in Nogales. About three-quarters of the streets in Willcox were flooded in up to 2 ft of water, and sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph were reported throughout the southeastern corner of the state.

1990s
During the 1990s, several tropical systems affected Arizona even after losing all tropical characteristics. However, two hurricanes survived long enough to reach Arizona while still considered tropical systems.

 * June 1990: The moisture from Boris in 1990 produced 3.28 in of rainfall on the Santa Rita Mountains.
 * August 1990: The remnants of Hurricane Diana entered Arizona and quickly dissipated, though no rainfall was report throughout the state.
 * August 1992: Hurricane Lester, reached the state as a tropical storm, and caused over 5 in of precipitation near Phoenix and Tucson. The center of circulation of Lester passed near Tucson on August 24, producing sustained winds of 31 mph at Tucson International Airport; the airport also reported gusts of up to 45 mph, and a drop in central barometric pressure to 999 mbar (29.52 inHg). Much of the rest of the state reported over 1 in of rain as a result of Lester,. with a peak precipitation measurement of 5.5 in at Cascabel.
 * August 1993: Hilary's remnants caused flash flooding in Pima County after 3.75 in of rain fell on Green Valley, and 3.50 in of precipitation was recorded at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.
 * August 1995: Flossie's remnants dumped over 3 in of rain over Tucson; one woman died as she tried to cross a flooded stream, and 11 other motorists were stranded in the city. Damage from the storm in Arizona totaled to $5 million (1995 USD; $ USD).
 * September 1995: That same year, Ismael produced most of its damage south of the state, but light rainfall fell over Cochise County, with the highest reported rainfall being 1.44 in.
 * September 1997: Hurricane Nora, the second storm to reach the state while still retaining tropical characteristics, struck the state in late September and was responsible for the 24-hour rainfall record in the state. Nora produced 11.97 in of rainfall over the Harquahala Mountains in Western Arizona, causing some flash flooding in the area. Near Phoenix, rainfall from the storm caused the Narrows Dam, a small earthen dam, to fail; localized rainfall amounts of up to 3 in occurred throughout the state. Nora also caused 12,000 people to lose electric power in Yuma. Nora is believed to be the strongest tropical storm to strike Arizona, as it produced sustained winds of 50 to 60 mph over Yuma. Nora caused $150–200 million (1997 USD) in agricultural losses in Arizona.
 * August 1998: The remnants of Tropical Storm Frank produced up to 2 in of rainfall in parts of the state.
 * September 1998: The following month, Hurricane Isis's remnants dropped more than 2 in of rainfall across southern Arizona, resulting in some flash flood warnings and flooding on roadways. Isis also caused up to 3 in across the Santa Catalina and Rincon Mountains that surround Tucson. However, there was no flooding reported in the area, and Tucson International Airport reported only 1.1 in as a result of the storm.

2000s
The last decade saw no storms reach Arizona while retaining tropical characteristics; however, numerous remnant lows caused heavy rainfall and flooding throughout the state.
 * October 2000: The remnants of the first system, Tropical Storm Olivia, produced heavy flash floods in spite of Olivia losing tropical characteristics while located 600 miles (965 km) west-southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur. However, after being captured by an extratropical cyclone, the remnant low produced widespread heavy rains, with 1.5 to 4 in of rain falling over most of southeastern Arizona; Hereford saw 8.64 in of rain.
 * October 2001: Hurricane Juliette dissipated in the Gulf of California, and brought only trace amounts of rainfall to the southern half of the state; the largest amount recorded occurred near Patagonia, where 0.90 in fell.
 * August 2003: Two years later, the remnants of Hurricane Ignacio produced rainfall over southern Arizona. About 40 residences in Catalina were evacuated due to the risk of flash flooding after 2 in of rainfall fell over the Aspen Fire burn area.
 * September 2003: That same year, Hurricane Marty brought locally heavy rains to extreme southwestern Arizona in September; in spite of this, there were no reports of flooding from the storm. The highest rain total was 2.83 in at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.
 * September 2004: Javier produced heavy rain throughout the state, helping to alleviate a prolonged drought in the Southwestern United States. The heaviest rainfall occurred at Walnut Creek, which saw a total of 7.00 in of precipitation during the storm. The Tucson airport saw rainfall of 0.37 in, while the University of Arizona reported 0.89 in of rain. The rain from Javier flooded several roads in the city and, combined with frequent lightning, forced the university to delay one of its football games.
 * July 2006: The remnants of Tropical Storm Emilia produced an influx of tropical moisture over Arizona, triggering a week-long period of disturbed weather in late July. On July 25, a slow-moving severe thunderstorm dropped several inches of rainfall in a few hours, causing the closure of Interstate 19 when a wash flooded the roadway with running water 8 in deep. The same storm also produced hail with a diameter of 1.75 in north of Rio Rico, and 1 in in Patagonia, and the size of a nickel in the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation. The next day, another thunderstorm near Elfrida also produced 1 in hail. After one week of widespread rainfall over southeastern Arizona, extensive flooding began to occur. Mount Lemmon saw a 7-day rainfall total of 11.10 in; Rillito Creek near the Catalina Mountains conveyed a record flow of 30000 cuft/s. Other streams in the area also saw record flooding, and the Santa Cruz River exceeded flood stage in Marana. The floods caused $4 million (2006 USD) in damage.
 * September 2006: Hurricane John produced about 1 in of rain over Cochise County.
 * September 2007: Hurricane Henriette also produced flooding over Cochise County the following year; one woman died after trying to cross a flooded wash near Sierra Vista.
 * July 2008: The remnants from Atlantic hurricane Hurricane Dolly caused rainfall in the eastern portion of the state, with 1.49 in falling southwest of Portal.
 * August 2008: Moisture from Tropical Storm Julio developed thunderstorms across Arizona, including one near Chandler which produced winds of 75 mph; the storm damaged ten small planes at Chandler Municipal Airport, as well as a hangar. The damages at the airport were estimated at $1 million (2008 USD). The storms also dropped heavy rainfall, reaching over 1 in in Gilbert.
 * September 2009: The remnants of Hurricane Jimena moved over Arizona on September 5. Near Walapai, water, rock, and other debris covered many roads. In addition, several power lines were down at the Bullhead City Airport. Golf ball-sized hail (1.75 in in diameter) fell northwest of Golden Valley; a weather spotter's house received $5,000 in damage, with all of its windows broken and with damage to his weather station and radio equipment. In Riviera, southwest of Bullhead City, seven mobile home trails were blown with many other receiving some damage due to 80 mph wind gusts. In the same area, four people were hurt and total damage was $500,000. North of Mohave Valley, mudslides caused two homes to be destroyed, with 9 others receiving moderate damage, and 16 other receiving minimal damage. Total damage was estimated to be at $600,000. In Laveen, 0.9 in of precipitation fell in a 90-minute period. Heavy rain was recorded in Sedona, thus blocking traffic on State Route 179. in Prescott, street flooding was reported, closing State Route 69 and the Emerald Trail. In Quartzsite, washes overflowed their banks, causing street flooding, and $30,000 in damage. In Tanca, 1 in of precipitation fell within a 30-minute period, thus causing minor flooding with one road being washed out. Damage from that flood totaled $30,000. Yuma also reported 1.62 in of rain from the cyclone. On the afternoon of September 5, a haystack caught fire due to lighting, and was eventually responsible for an additional $20,000 in damage.

2010s

 * September 3, 2013: Moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Juliette fueled the monsoon across the southwestern United States, producing scattered showers and thunderstorms.
 * September 8, 2014: The remnants of Hurricane Norbert produced record-breaking rainfall throughout the central portion of the state. Chandler received 6.09 in of precipitation, while Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport recorded 3.30 in of rainfall over a seven-hour period, breaking the 75‑year‑old daily rainfall record. It was also the highest precipitation at Sky Harbor in a single calendar day, but fell short of the station's 24‑hour rainfall total. Accumulations in Chandler and Mesa were deemed to be a 1-in-1,000 year event while Phoenix was calculated to be a 1-in-200 year event. Two women died, one in Pinal County and one in Tucson; both were swept away by floodwaters in their vehicles. Waters in Tucson reached as deep as 15 ft. Total damage in Maricopa and La Paz Counties amounted to $17.4 million.
 * September 18, 2014: The remnants of Hurricane Odile brought heavy rainfall to southeastern Arizona.
 * June 5, 2015: The remnants of Hurricane Andres brought thunderstorms to Arizona, with Phoenix having measurable precipitation on that day for the first time since records began in 1896.
 * June 9, 2015: Just four days after Andres brought record-breaking rain to the Desert Southwest, another low-pressure system containing the remnants of Hurricane Blanca brought more record-breaking rainfall to many Arizona cities, including Tucson and Yuma.
 * July 18, 2015: Some of Hurricane Dolores's moisture and remnants were directed into Arizona, bringing showers and thunderstorms. Up to 1 inch of rain was recorded in some places. The heavy rain triggered some flash floods and mudslides near Phoenix.
 * October 1–2, 2018: Hurricane Rosa which at that time was a tropical storm approaching Baja California, left massive rainfall within these two days. More than 2 inches of rain was recorded in some places. Many places were covered with water, some flash floods.

2020s

 * August 18–22, 2023: Hurricane Hilary's remnants caused triggered heavy rainfall, peaking at (2.10 in at Hilltop.

Anime fight - sword slashing a speeding bullet
Do you remember any anime fight scene where a fighter uses a sword to slash a speeding bullet?

I'm not sure if this happens in many animes, I'm pretty sure I've seen it happening at least once. Thanks. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 13:33, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Supposedly, Isao Machii has done it, there's videos of him doing it, see, though it's really a plastic BB, which is I guess technically a bullet (a projectile fired by a gun), though at much slower speeds, but he really does cut it (if the vidoes aren't faked). -- Jayron 32 13:56, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * The genuine classical bujutsu technique of deflecting arrows with a sword is called yadome-jutsu.   Alansplodge (talk) 17:12, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * TVTropes has a Parrying Bullets page. Seems there's a fellow in Gun Sword who's so slick, he can even cut machine gun bullets. Don't try that at home. InedibleHulk (talk) 18:46, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Isaac Earnshaw

Isaac Earnshaw (20 October 1859 – 1 May 1914) was an Australian trainer and owner of thoroughbred racehorses.

History
Isaac Earnshaw was the eldest son of John Earnshaw (c. 1834 – 28 October 1907) and Charlotte Rebecca Earnshaw, née Hurlston (c. 1834 – 20 September 1904), of Pyrmont, New South Wales. He began his career with horses as a stable boy at "Orville", the stables of W. Kelso, before he eventually become head man there. He next worked as a trainer at Kogarah. He succeeded F. W. Day (died 1919) as trainer at Samuel Hordern's stables at Botany Street, Randwick in 1893, then when Hordern retired from racing in 1898 resumed business as a public trainer at Randwick. Among his patrons were J. Brown, W. Brown, H. R. Denison, W. and F. A. Moses, W. Brunton, R. C. Allen C. J. Britten, P. H. Morton, A. Hooke, and K. S. McLeod. Among winners he trained were:
 * New South Wales:
 * AJC All Aged Stakes: Bobrikoff (1910)
 * AJC Derby: Poseidon (1900); Parsee (1908); Prince Foote (1909)
 * AJC Autumn Stakes: Bobrikoff (1910)
 * AJC Breeders' Plate: Zilka (1908)
 * AJC Carrington Stakes: Heiro (1907)

Other winners he trained were: Apologue; Jeweller; Barbarossa; The Skipper, Jacamar, Superb and Imshi. When Clark & Robinson moved to England, he served as their racing manager, and on his death replaced by C. Leslie Macdonald.

He was known for his knowledge of breeding, his correctness, as a stickler for punctuality, and for his secretive nature. He was a "silent worker"— very few people knew what his horses were likely to do.

He was remarkably successful in treating crippled horses, notably Antonio and Sir Foote. He could be relied on for a candid assessment of a horse's health, potential and peculiarities, his assessment was as good as any "vet"'s. He was a "hands on" trainer, not one who wore kid gloves and tanned boots and took the credit for the work of subordinates.

Despite being a non-smoker and teetotaller he did not enjoy good health, and died aged 53 following a successful hernia operation.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Franz Lidz

The result was keep per WP:SNOW. The subject has withdrawn the request, however there's clearly consensus here that Lidz is sufficiently public that requested deletion is not available for this biography, and further that the subject meets our inclusion guidelines regardless of the request to delete. Thus I'm recording the result as keep. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:55, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Franz Lidz

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article subject requests deletion, see, and see talk page for more details. Based on the criteria at WP:LOWPROFILE and past unrelated discussions I'm inclined to endorse the request. Note that this article has been the recent target of an undisclosed paid editing ring. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:48, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Filer note - WP:NPF is also relevant to this request. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:49, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

*Delete, per the wishes of Mr. Lidz in accordance with WP:LOWPROFILE. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 22:02, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Person does meet GNG. Has had multiple articles (10) with his byline in The New York Times.  Multiple articles in Sports Illustrated.  Multiple books which have been reviewed in appropriate media, including the NYT. Multiple articles (over 80) in NYT mentioning him by name.  Meets criteria as novelist and as columnist. And the "bad editors" are best handled separately, not by removing what appears, at this point, to be a reasonable BLP.  If it were in any way disparaging, I would !vote "delete" in a flash, but that is not the article status as we discuss this.  Collect (talk) 21:18, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep He is notable/important. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abrasapuentes (talk • contribs) 21:30, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep, per BMK & DGG. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 01:10, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but LOWPROFILE cannot possible apply to a person who's been a professional journalist for decades, has published books and memoirs (which put his personal life out for inspection), one of which has even been made into a film. Lidz' wishes in this situation are irrelevant, he's a public figure, and he's made himself a public figure by his own actions.  He's more than welcome to comment on the talk page about things he wishes would be added or removed from the article or need to be changed in his view, but we cannot put ourselves into the position of being dictated to by clearly public figures about whether we should have an article about them or not.  It makes a mockery of our editorial integrity. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:29, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Stricken, BMK and DGG are right. I shouldn't have made a knee-jerk comment out of frustration with the talk page situation. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 01:10, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep By a look at the sources provided and the literature the person has written, including a book which was made into a Hollywood film, this person seems more than notable enough to have an article.--INDIAN REVERTER (talk) 22:18, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * As a heads up, INDIAN REVERTER is a brand new account created about an hour ago with 19 edits, all of which are keep comments at AfDs. It's certainly unusual behavior for a new account. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:07, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - A notable journalist and author who request for deletion is based on incorrect presumptions. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:24, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Satisfies WP:AUTHOR #4 with multiple reviews. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:31, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. For the reasons given above. He has a very public career.Based on the talk page discussion,  I am inclined to think that the request for deletion (if it indeed comes from the subject) is a reaction to our writing the article in a way he does not like, in particular our  not accepting the earlier versions' hyperbola and pr-orinted material about him. This is the sort of request we should never accommodate. If  there is specific objections to the material included, we can of course deal with them, but I cannot imagine what they would be.  DGG ( talk ) 00:42, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per DGG. Particularly given there's been no OTRS confirmation, I fail to understand why we're even at AfD. If there's some actual argument as to why this individual might be non-notable, I would reconsider my !vote. —/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 01:10, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep- The definition of LowProfile is rather specific, usually applying to individuals who are famous for one event (not applicable here), the victims of ambush journalism or those who did not seek attention (not applicable here), or those who have avoided all media attention (not applicable, he has presumably done book signings and been part of a film, and is a member of the media). I think he meets the criteria of high-profile, but notable may be another issue. I'd side with keep . Barsportsunlimited (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:18, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep- sorry Ivan, I don't support subject requests deletion without otrs verification. In regards to your comment - Note that this article has been the recent target of an undisclosed paid editing ring - this means nothing in regards to wp:notability to support deletion. In regards to Ivan's WP:NPF concern, he is not according to the links and article detail imo relatively unknown- Govindaharihari (talk) 06:00, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with Collect, Beyond My Ken and DGG. There is no way that we should delete this article, because Lidz is clearly a public figure. Instead, we should expand and improve the article, and archive the talk page foolishness. The lack of OTRS verification is also an issue, but I would oppose deletion even if we were sure that Lidz really wants it. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  07:43, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - I requested this deletion in order to blank the scurrilous accusations and unsupported aspersions made by a couple of WP editors. I'm happy to report that those comments have since been expunged. But there's something deeply troubling about a deletion process that allows those very editors to vote on the outcome. One of them at least had the decency to apologize. The other has made a mockery of your editorial integrity. When a college professor sympathetic to me punches gaping holes in the editor's wild and reckless conclusions, the editor lashes out, belittles the professor and disparages my work. This isn't my idea of "neutrality" and, for the sake of the general public, I hope it's not WP's.FranzLidz (talk) 12:52, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree with you - and, as best I can, have tried to prevent some of the worst abuses on biographical articles. It is, indeed, an uphill struggle at times. You would be aghast at reading User:Collect/BLP where I quote the attitudes of some such "editors". Collect (talk) 13:13, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much for your support. As for the other self-righteous fulminations you cite -- ugh!FranzLidz (talk) 19:51, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Just to note, as far as I am aware, the account "Franz Lidz" has yet to verify their identity as the writer Franz Lidz with OTRS. Nor has the "journalism professor" confirmed their identity as such.As for the claims made by the account Franz Lidz above -- which are much more accusatory and derogatory than anything said on the article talk page by Wikipedia editors -- they are, to put it mildly, gross misrepresentations of the discussion on the talk page and of the content of the article.  No one on the talk page has accused Franz Lidz of doing anything improper, and the material removed from the article was done -- by a number of different editors -- for standard reasons of reducing promotionalism. It would have been better, if "Franz Lidz" is indeed Franz Lidz, for them to come to the talk page and make specific objections to specific material that has been removed, rather than barrelling into Wikipedia full of self-righteousness and loaded for bear, armed with erroneous information from the "journalism professor", and firing randomly at whatever targets present themselves.In my view, this is not a genuine BLP issue, and the way to protect Wikipedia's editorial integrity is not to bend to the wishes of an article subject (if "Franz Lidz" is indeed Franz Lidz) who seems to prefer a hagiographic version of our article to one more encyclopedic in content. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:47, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I've said all along I'd be happy to confirm my identity. Unfortunately, no one has tried to contact me or sent me instructions. I'd even talk to somebody like you! (See previous post.FranzLidz (talk) 19:51, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * We were told that your identity was being handled "off-line", but have heard nothing about that since. In any case, no one is going to come to you, since the onus is on you to show that you are who you claim to be. Go to WP:OTRS and follow the directions there. Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:20, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment I'm looking into the OTRS issue - but I don't anticipate saying more until morning (Many people are unaware that we are not permitted to even acknowledge the existence of an OTRS email without permission from the contacting person) -- S Philbrick (Talk)  00:22, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Additional Comment I see no reason to await a response re OTRS. Is my opinion, and one I think is shared by many editors, that the wishes of the subject are relevant and close calls and I don't think this is a close call. In other words I agree with Cullens comment.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  00:25, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Identify confirmation I can confirm that OTRS is in receipt of an email from Franz Lidz and I have confirmed his identity.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  00:40, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Sphilbrick, that's very good to know. However, it does not change my !vote in any way, since there's no question of Lidz' notability and that he is a public figure. As I have said, Lidz (now that we know it's actually him), is welcome to make productive suggestions on the talk page as to changes they believe should be made to the article, and editors will evaluate those. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:34, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - has attained significant coverage. Article was previously in poor shape but has been improved in recent days. As for the talk page foolishness, it should be archived/deleted as appropriate. Neutralitytalk 01:58, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Portal:Textile engineering

Welcome to the department of textile engineering! This is the place intended to facilitate the organization and development of content related to textile engineering.

Textile engineering (TE) or textile technology deals with the application of scientific and engineering principles to the design and control of all aspects of fiber, textile, and apparel processes, products, and machinery. These include natural and man-made materials, interaction of materials with machines, safety and health, energy conservation, and waste and pollution control. Additionally, textile engineers are given training and experience in plant design and layout, machine and wet process design and improvement, and designing and creating textile products.

A textile engineer therefore works with textile materials: fibers, yarns, fabrics, and finishes. Most textile engineers work on product research and development, either improving current textile based products or creating new products. They may also be involved with finding uses for new fibers, yarns, fabrics, or textile finishes.

Divisions
Textile technology and textile chemistry

- Textile Mechanical Engineering

This section focuses on designing and building of machines that produces textile products from fibres, to fabrics (woven and Non-woven Fabric and Geo-textile )

- Textile Chemical Engineering

This section is all about textile chemistry from material and process design

- Textile Material and Fabric Engineering

This section is about all research and used material in technologies in producing textile material from Nano material to fibre.

Portal:Genetic engineering

Welcome to the Wikiversity Department of Genetic Engineering.

The Department of Genetic Engineering is a Wikiversity content development project where participants create, organize and develop learning resources for genetic engineering.

Genetic engineering, genetic modification (GM) and gene splicing are terms for the process of manipulating genes, usually outside the organism's natural reproductive process.

It involves the isolation, manipulation and reintroduction of DNA into cells or model organisms, usually to express a protein. The aim is to introduce new characteristics or attributes physiologically or physically, such as making a crop resistant to a herbicide, introducing a novel trait, or producing a new protein or enzyme, along with altering the organism to produce more of certain traits. Examples can include the production of human insulin through the use of modified bacteria, the production of erythropoietin in Chinese Hamster Ovary cells, and the production of new types of experimental mice such as the OncoMouse (cancer mouse) for research, through genetic redesign.

Since a protein is specified by a segment of DNA called a gene, future versions of that protein can be modified by changing the gene's underlying DNA. One way to do this is to isolate the piece of DNA containing the gene, precisely cut the gene out, and then reintroduce (splice) the gene into a different DNA segment. Daniel Nathans and Hamilton Smith received the 1978 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their isolation of restriction endonucleases, which are able to cut DNA at specific sites. Together with ligase, which can join fragments of DNA together, restriction enzymes formed the initial basis of recombinant DNA technology.

The "topic" namespace contains pages that are for management and organization of small academic units at Wikiversity such as departments (see: Topics).

Department news

 * 6 January 2007 - Department founded!

Learning projects
See: Learning Projects and the Learning model.

Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the learning project (learning projects are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing! We suggest the use of the learning project template (use "subst:Learning project boilerplate" on the new page, inside the double curved brackets – ).

Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.

Remember, Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. We learn by doing.

Urumeen

Urumeen is a 2015 Indian Tamil-language fantasy action thriller film written and directed by debutante director Sakthivel Perumalsamy. It stars Bobby Simha, Reshmi Menon, and Kalaiyarasan. Produced by Axess Film Factory, the film has cinematography by Ravindranath Guru and music composed by Achu Rajamani. Urumeen is a revenge saga spanning across three generations. The film also uses Motion capture technology in a five-minute opening sequence.

The film was released theatrically in India on 4 December 2015, at the time of floods in Chennai. The makers took this decision to avoid any losses due to delays in release. The film was released theatrically in Malaysia on 11 December 2015 by Lotus Five Star Entertainment. Upon its release, the film received mixed-to-positive reviews from audiences. The film ran for two weeks at the box office, while its collections dropped drastically in the third week.

The film was later made available on legal digital streaming platforms Herotalkies and TentKotta on 30 June 2016 and on YuppTV on 7 July 2016. The film was also later released on DVD in Singapore by Lotus Five Star Entertainment. Later, it was also dubbed into Telugu as Raja Vijaya Simha and in Hindi as Hindustani Jaanbaaz in 2018.

Plot
The film begins with the introduction of Raja Simhan (Bobby Simha), a historical warrior who stood and fought against the British government when it captured India. Still, he got betrayed by his own friend Karuna (Kalaiyarasan), due to which the British officers caught him and took him to be hanged. However, Raja Simhan managed to fight for his life and meet his teacher and friend Mohammad Bin Bashir, with whom he discussed his last wish: to be buried alive, to go away from this world filled with treachery. However, he is buried with a special book in his hands.

Then, the story moves to the present day when Raja Simhan gets reborn as Selva, an unemployed young man looking for a job. He comes to Chennai, where he starts living with his two male friends, who get him a job of his choice. He also happens to find his love Umayaal (Reshmi Menon), and they come together. One day, she tells him that a man is trying to get close to him, which she does not like at all. Selva and his friend follow the man, who is later caught and suddenly burned to death. He does not realize that the man was earlier working for John, a goon and a businessman who betrayed Raja Simhan as Karuna. He finds a video footage of Selva and his friend following the man, who is actually John's brother, and this triggers a misunderstanding between the two when John thinks that Selva killed his brother. Selva is later kidnapped, where with the help of another man kidnapped, who actually burnt that man to death, manages to fight against all goons and escapes. He challenges John through his goon's phone to find him out.

The story then moves to AD 1939, when India was not free from the British, and a British officer's son had come to a village in South India for some days. He expresses his desire to have a translator. Then, Chezhiyan, the reincarnation of Raja Simhan, rather the second generation of Selva, and his friend Krishna, reborn as John, are called. Viduthalai (Appukutty), another good friend of Chezhiyan reborn as the security guy in Selva's office, joins him. Chezhiyan decides to interact but also makes it clear that he will not bend in front of him. Soon, Chezhiyan and the officer's son develop a feeling of enmity, which increases when Chezhiyan refuses to play chess with him and indeed hits him so hard that he loses one of his ears. Chezhiyan is brought to a field by Krishna, whose true colors are revealed later on that he had joined hands with the officer's son in exchange for power. Chezhiyan fights bravely but is severely injured and killed by the officer's son.

Selva realizes this thing while reading the book in a metro tunnel site. Suddenly, while reading the book, a liquid drops from the ceiling on the book, which results in various patterns being formed on the page. A furious Selva gets the indication and breaks a pipe, which results in several wires getting opened and killing John's men, who too were present along with him. Then, finally comes the turn of John, who picks up his gun to shoot Selva but gets killed when suddenly, a metal sheet comes flying and beheads him.

Production
After having worked as a non linear editor and assistant director in few films, Sakthivel Perumalsamy wanted to direct a feature film, based on a real-life incident that took place from 1700 to 2015. In 2014, he first approached and discussed the story with Bobby Simha, whose short films he had seen. They waited to find good producers for the project, which therefore did not commence until March 2014. Simha took up the lead role in the film, his first after a number of supporting roles. His character, Selva, was a middle-class man who comes to Chennai from a small town to search for a job but gets into a problem, and he said that his character "exhibits two behaviours". While Kalaiyarasan landed the role of the villain. Kalaiyarasan later revealed that the director had initially asked him to play the hero but that he could not agree as he had other films lined up, while he called his character, John Christopher, "[not] entirely evil".

Over the next months, the film saw several changes in its principal cast and crew. Initially reported to be produced by Dr. L. Sivabalan under his Zero Rules Entertainment banner, the project was later known to be funded by G. Dillibabu's Axess Film Factory.

The film was shot across several South Indian states in locations including Chennai, Thekkady, Idukki, Ernakulam, Puducherry.Praveen B Menon was the production controller of this film

The film also used Motion capture technology in a few of its segments.

Soundtrack
The soundtrack of Urumeen was composed by Achu Rajamani.

The soundtrack received positive responses. Behindwoods rated the soundtrack 3.25/5, calling it "A rock solid treat from Achu." Hindustan Times called the soundtrack a "Great mix of strong voices and arrangements."

Promotion
A past and future prediction game titled Urumeen Predictions based on the film was released on 29 November 2015 by actor Arya, along with the cast of Urumeen at his house.

Release
The film was released on 4 December 2015 despite heavy rain and floods in Chennai. The film was given a U/A certificate by the Indian Censor Board. The Singapore Censor Board rated the film PG13 on the account of some violence. The satellite rights of the film were sold to Kalaignar TV.

Controversy
According to the sources, the trailer of Urumeen was denied a certificate, because of the tagline "Revenge is always ultimate". Due to this, the makers took it to the revising committee, which cleared the trailer with a U/A certificate.

Reception
Urumeen received mixed responses from critics.

Only Kollywood rated the film 3.5/5, writing that " Urumeen serves quality thrills throughout." Baradwaj Rangan of The Hindu wrote, "For all its flash, Urumeen is a tedious, remote experience. We feel nothing, care for no one (especially the blink-and-miss heroine, played by Reshmi Menon) – and the film goes on and on."

Box office
According to the site Behindwoods, the film had an average yet decent business in the first two weeks in Chennai alone and did a business of Rs.39,01,707. However, it was in the 3rd week, that the film's collections dropped in Chennai, and the total amount collected by the film at the Chennai Box Office was Rs.47,42,843. The fourth week settled for the Disappointment verdict, only at the Chennai Box Office.

Python Programming/Control Flow

As with most imperative languages, there are three main categories of program control flow:
 * loops
 * branches
 * function calls

Function calls are covered in the next section.

Generators and list comprehensions are advanced forms of program control flow, but they are not covered here.

Overview
Control flow in Python at a glance:

Loops
In Python, there are two kinds of loops, 'for' loops and 'while' loops.

For loops
A for loop iterates over elements of a sequence (tuple or list). A variable is created to represent the object in the sequence. For example,

This will output

100 200 300

The  loop loops over each of the elements of a list or iterator, assigning the current element to the variable name given. In the example above, each of the elements in  is assigned to.

A built-in function called range exists to make creating sequential lists such as the one above easier. The loop above is equivalent to:

Similar to the slicing operation, in the range function, the first argument is the starting integer (we can just pass one argument to the range, which will be interpreted as the second argument, and then the default value: 0 is used for the first argument), and the second argument is the ending integer but excluded from the list. The next example uses a negative step (the third argument for the built-in range function, which is similar to the slicing operation):

This will output

5 4 3 2 1

The negative step can be -2:

This will output

10 8 6 4 2

For loops can have names for each element of a tuple, if it loops over a sequence of tuples:

This will output 1 : 1 2 : 4 3 : 9 4 : 16 5 : 25

Links:
 * 4.2. for Statements, The Python Tutorial, docs.python.org
 * 4.3. The range Function, The Python Tutorial, docs.python.org

While loops
A while loop repeats a sequence of statements until the condition becomes false. For example:

Will output: 5 4 3 2 1

Python's while loops can also have an 'else' clause, which is a block of statements that is executed (once) when the while condition evaluates to false. The break statement (see the next section) inside the while loop will not direct the program flow to the else clause. For example:

This will output: 5 4 3 2 1 5

Unlike some languages, there is no post-condition loop.

When the while condition never evaluates to false, i.e., is always true, then we have an infinite loop. For example, This results in an infinite loop, which prints 1,2,3,4,... . To stop an infinite loop, we need to use the break statement.

Links:
 * 3.2. First Steps Towards Programming, The Python Tutorial, docs.python.org

Breaking and continuing
Python includes statements to exit a loop (either a for loop or a while loop) prematurely. To exit a loop, use the break statement:

This will output 5

The statement to begin the next iteration of the loop without waiting for the end of the current loop is 'continue'.

This will not produce any output.

Else clause of loops
The else clause of loops will be executed if no break statements are met in the loop.

Another example of a while loop using the break statement and the else statement:

This will output:

Input iteration step: 2 I am waiting for my melon. I hate strawberry ! Going back home now !

White Space
Python determines where a loop repeats itself by the indentation in the whitespace. Everything that is indented is part of the loop, the next entry that is not indented is not. For example, the code below prints "1 1 2 1 1 2" On the other hand, the code below prints "1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2"

Branches
There is basically only one kind of branch in Python, the 'if' statement. The simplest form of the if statement simple executes a block of code only if a given predicate is true, and skips over it if the predicate is false

For instance,

You can also add "elif" (short for "else if") branches onto the if statement. If the predicate on the first “if” is false, it will test the predicate on the first elif, and run that branch if it’s true. If the first elif is false, it tries the second one, and so on. Note, however, that it will stop checking branches as soon as it finds a true predicate, and skip the rest of the if statement. You can also end your if statements with an "else" branch. If none of the other branches are executed, then python will run this branch.

 * 4.1. if Statements, The Python Tutorial, docs.python.org

Conclusion
Any of these loops, branches, and function calls can be nested in any way desired. A loop can loop over a loop, a branch can branch again, and a function can call other functions, or even call itself.

Exercises

 * 1) Print the numbers from 0 to 1000 (including both 0 and 1000).
 * 2) Print the numbers from 0 to 1000 that are multiples of 5.
 * 3) Print the numbers from 1 to 1000 that are multiples of 5.
 * 4) Use a nested for-loop to prints the 3x3 multiplication table below
 * 1) Print the 3x3 multiplication table below.

Genealogy/Hardcopy

Genealogy research creates a mountain of paper. Even those who store their genealogy on a computer must have an organized method for indexing, storing, and retrieving documents. For people who do not use a computer, an efficient filing system is even more essential.

As mentioned in the previous chapter, a good filing system has these qualities:

System is easy to understand, use, and maintain.
Nothing can waste more time than spending hours searching through mountains of paper to find a scrap of parchment you stored 5 years ago. Organized storage of your documents is essential. more...

All materials are stored securely and redundantly
Nothing can ruin years worth of work faster than a disaster to your archives. Fire, flood, tornado... they can destroy years worth of work and permanently eliminate original works forever. For this reason, you should secure your creation by keeping copies of your work in a separate location. Store original documents, such as family bibles, birth certificates, and photos in a safe or bank deposit box. Store only copies of the original in with your files. more...

Provides the ability to transport relevant data to research sites

 * Original Documents

Your original documents have cost you time and trouble to gather, even if they are merely photocopies. If they are old family bibles, or birth certificates from a county courthouse which has since burned down, they are irreplaceable. As discussed elsewhere, irreplaceable documents need to be stored in a safe deposit box. Your replaceable documents should remain safely at home in your files, together with hand- or photo-copies of the irreplaceable ones.

 * Take Information, Not Originals

When you are doing research, you need to know what you already know, to guide your search. Since you will sometimes need to go to a library or archive to try to find the missing link in your family tree, you will need to be able to take with you the records which are relevant to your current search. This could mean a printout from your computer data base, or it could mean extracting some pages from your three-ring binder.

The optimum might be to travel to the remote archive with a copy of your entire, computerized database on a notebook computer. This may be impractical, for any of several reasons: you might not be able to bring your notebook computer into the archives, you might not bave a notebook computer, there might be no place to plug it in (and dead batteries), and so on. Therefore your record-keeping system should allow you to extract what you know, or a subset of it, in a compact, easily accessible form.

You might want to bring along copies of birth certificates, lists of dates (of birth, death, marriage, immigration, et cetera) and a copy of a family tree. You could take photocopies, or abstracts of the information. A computerised record keeping system which could print out an abstract of the information (and the sources from which it came) you have for some of the people in your database would be an enormous help. So would a logical, up-to-date filing system which allows you to pull out that information.

Facilitates the future publication / distribution of collected information
I do not understand this requirement, as the only criteria for it that I can imagine would be far better placed under the following topic.

(Could refer to being able to easily retrieve information for sketches, articles & books.)

Records complete sources for each document
Proper recording of the source for all your documents is very important. If the document is a copy, then you should record the location and work where that document came from. Both the location and the work should be very specific, allowing a complete stranger to both find the work, and the reference inside that work. Examples:
 * location : The site or organization you got the work from. The full name and address should be specified. Try to remember that not everyone is from the same country as you, and to include the country in the address as well.
 * Boston Public Library, McKim Building, 700 Boylston Street, Copley Square, Boston, MA 02116 US
 * Calvary Cemetary, 686 Fond du Lac Ave, Fond du Lac, WI 54935 US
 * All Saints Church, Hertford, England, UK

Examples:
 * work : The publication you are referencing. You should include the work, volume, page, and maybe even the line that your information came from. Include ranges as appropriate.
 * 1973 Brattleboro, VT phone book, page 132, second column, line 14
 * All Saints Marriage Register, volume covering 1822-1927, March 1824

Since genealogical records are often not commonly available, it doesn't hurt to include pointers to documents which are not available to the general public. For example, the only reference to an ancestor might be a birth or marriage record in an old family bible. In that case, an appropriate reference might look like this:
 * Written on flyleaf of Surname family bible, in custody of Jane Surname, 123 Streetname, City, Country.

Master of Puppets

 * Nominator(s): Retrohead (talk) 23:39, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

This article is about Metallica's third studio album, considered an artistic pinnacle of thrash metal. The band would experience increased popularity afterwards, becoming heavy metal's leading act in the 1990s. This record is subject of many musical analysis about the roots of extreme metal and its further development.--Retrohead (talk) 23:39, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Support I'm not much of a music guy, but I recall being impressed by this article when I first encountered it (at DYK?) and it's only got better since then. I made two entirely trivial edits. The prose is wonderful; like the last time I read it, makes me actually want to listen to a metal album. Maury Markowitz (talk) 21:53, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Comments by Nergaal Nergaal (talk) 22:31, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I think the intro should mention some of the most notable tracks
 * "in 2006 by playing it in its entirety." → where? during a single concert?
 * During the Escape from the Studio '06 tour, mentioned in 'Live performances'.
 * "musicianship" is this a real word?
 * Yes, it is—it means the technical quality of one's playing. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 22:47, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * "on signing Metallica" mention year
 * You mean when Alago signed the band? 1984, mentioned in the background.
 * "The original artwork was sold at Rockefeller Plaza, New York City for $28,000" when?
 * In 2008, added.
 * "The album was recorded with the following equipment:" if you use ":" why is everything after it split by "."s?
 * Corrected, used semicolon instead.
 * "in the sense of "assault and battery"." says who?
 * Joel McIver, cited at the end of the third sentence.
 * "at 220 beats per minute" is this a lot?
 * Compared to today's mainstream music, incomparably faster.
 * "off-kilter 5/8 time signature on each fourth bar" what do kilter and bar mean?
 * Off–kilter means unbalanced or awry. Bar measures a small amount of time in written music.
 * " two-and-a-helf "
 * Corrected.
 * in "Music and lyrics" why did you have each paragraph cover 2 songs instead of 1? also, this section should have linkers like "the first/second/third/nth song"
 * Largely because the songs are not equally covered. You have "Disposable Heroes" in three sentences and "Battery" in five, so I tried each paragraph to contain similar quantum of information.
 * "1986 is" never start with a number
 * You mean the sentence shouldn't begin with a year? I've seen many FAs with sentence structures such as this.
 * accolades section should mention the years when the lists were put together
 * The publishing dates are visible in the reference templates. I think mentioning them in the prose is going to make the text tedious.
 * "Professional ratings" table is a bit short imo
 * I decided to omit receptions such as "favorable/unfavorable" because they seem variable from reader to reader. Spin, Rolling Stone, and BBC Music don't feature ratings, and that's why they are omitted from the table.
 * the last part of the 2nd para in "Commercial performance" should probably be moved into the accolades/critics section
 * Could fit there, but since it discusses the impact of "thrash metal's first platinum album", it's per se connected to the commercial performance.
 * this section could perhaps list the countries where the album ranked
 * The countries are listed in 'Charts'. It would seem repetitive listing them on two places.
 * "Metallica Through the Never" mention year pls
 * Year added.
 * "crosses were rising from the stage during the song" → add reminsicent of the album's cover art
 * Done.
 * "after having been retired for a number of years" why? I thought that MoP is by far one of the most popular of their songs
 * "Battery", "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)", and "Damage, Inc." were retired, "Master of Puppets" was performed in shortened version.
 * charts list seems a bit surprisingly short imo. any year-end charts?
 * You have the positions per year in this diff. The album wasn't a notable commercial success in its initial years, but gained recognition after 1991.

 * Comment: Please add alt text for all images. -Newyorkadam (talk) 05:28, 21 February 2015 (UTC)Newyorkadam
 * Done.--Retrohead (talk) 10:55, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Image check. File:Metallica - Master of Puppets cover.jpg has an acceptable non-free media rationale. File:Metallica - Master of Puppets.ogg and File:Metallica (1986) Welcome Home (Sanitarium) sample.ogg seem acceptable as well; I think that 3 is a bit borderline with the "minimal use", but acceptable. File:Kirk Hammett playing.jpg has an acceptable licence in Flickr, which has been already reviewed in Commons. Article check will follow. Cambalachero (talk) 15:36, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * More comments by Cambalachero: I will check section by section, and leave the intro for the end (as it must be a summary of everything else)
 * Background and recording section: I don't think that "musicianship" is the right word for that context. If it is the technical quality of the music, then it can not be "aggressive"; that's the style, not the quality (thrash metal, as any other genre, has good quality and bad quality performers). All the sentences with maintenance tags must be fixed. "Metallica was motivated" is a bit wordy, and lacks a reason: I would expect a sentence using that word to clarify why or what motivated someone to do something (if they wanted to make a well-received album just for the heck of it, then you may use the verb "want"). "Hetfield and Ulrich described the songwriting process as starting with "guitar riffs, assembled and reassembled until they start to sound like a song".": all quotations must have a footnote immediately afterwards. Question: did Mustaine tried to sue Metallica for the rights of "Leper Messiah", the logical consequence of his claim, or did it stay confined to things said to the press? (if it's the later, then it's fine as it's written). "and decided to record" is wordy. "Hammett recalled that the group was "just making another album" at the time and "had no idea that the record would have such a range of influence that it went on to have".": again, immediate reference after quotation. "The cover was designed by Metallica and Peter Mensch [add a comma] and painted by Don Brautigam" Cambalachero (talk) 16:41, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * First of all, thanks for the suggestions. I think Mustaine has not sued Metallica for using ideas of his own because those things are legally hard to prove. He hadn't done that with "The Four Horsemen" vs "The Mechanix", which is a more obvious copyright violation than this one. Summa summarum, it's just a speculation. I understand "musicianship" as a style of playing/performing, in our case, "aggressive" performance. I'm little puzzled by the "cn" tags because every information is sourced. For example, the first two sentences are sourced with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame biography, including the "aggressive musicianship and vitriolic lyricism". Instead of repeating the cite at two places, I used it at the end of the second. Other notes are under way.--Retrohead (talk) 20:52, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Mustaine couldn't have sued over the earlier songs, because he's credited for them and thus gets royalties (he couldn't legally block them from using the songs). With "Leper Messiah", assuming his claims are true, he'd have to have some kind of proof—a demo recording or something.  If he doesn't, then all he can do is bitch in the press, which he sure loves to do. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 23:34, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know that he's credited and receives royalties for his first songs with Metallica, so there's nothing to complain about (he's not the first guy who left a band and left behind songs written for it). That's why I asked about Leper Messiah, as being the uncredited author of a song sounds like something that could start a legal battle, if it could be proved; and if such a battle took place the article should have talked about it (featured articles must be comprehensive). But, as said, if it didn't go beyond the press, the current coverage is fine. As for the tags, I really don't understand what does "Metallica hired Q Prime's Cliff Burnstein and Peter Mensch" mean. What is Q Prime? It is not clear from the context, and I don't think it has anything to do with Star Trek... Cambalachero (talk) 16:30, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * "Music and lyrics" section. Comments such as "were considered" or "were praised" must detail who thinks those things. ""Battery" is about anger and refers to "battery" in the sense of "assault and battery"", can we rewrite that sentence without using the same word three times? It may be better to link Cocaine dependence than just cocaine, as it's more precise for the context. Cambalachero (talk) 13:51, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Brock Helander is the one who praised the lyricism for its honesty. I could credit him in the prose, but it will sound trite. A search on Google Books will offer you many critics who spoke positively on the lyrics. I could mention the author if you insist, but that would hardly be of any interest to the reader.
 * "Critical reception" main section, I did not notice any problem. Cambalachero (talk) 14:05, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, but the credit there goes to Dan56.
 * "Accolades and legacy" section: you mentioned Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax, and then said "these bands were being called the "Big Four" of thrash metal". Perhaps it is evident from context, but you should clarify that the fourth one is Metallica. Cambalachero (talk) 14:24, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Clarified, mentioned Metallica along with the rest of the big four.
 * "Commercial performance" section: "Master of Puppets became thrash metal's first platinum album and by the early 1990s it successfully challenged and redefined the mainstream of heavy metal." Are we talking about Master of Puppets, or about Metallica? As for the early 1990s (not the mid-1980s), if I remember well the bands that "successfully challenged and redefined the mainstream of heavy metal" were bands like Pantera and Biohazzard, which redefined thrash metal even further; Metallica's black album was a huge success, but not one that redefined the whole of heavy metal as "Master of Pupets" did. Cambalachero (talk) 14:37, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Corrected. The author meant that thrash metal as a genre redefined mainstream heavy metal in the early 1990s, not solely this album or Metallica.
 * "Touring" section: There is a contradiction with the article about Cliff Burton. Here, it says that the driver was charged with manslaughter, there, it says that the driver was determined not at fault for the accident and no charges were brought against him. Which one was it? Besides, you may add File:Clifford Burton Memorial Stone At Crash Site.jpg to the section. Cambalachero (talk) 14:57, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The driver was accused for the accident, but the court found him not guilty.
 * "Live performances" section: add a reference for the claim that "Master of Puppets" is the most played Metallica song (does someone keep the track of those details?) Cambalachero (talk) 16:06, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Does the band's website counts as an appropriate source? I know it's primary, but it's the best one I could found on Google.
 * Lead section: "Many bands from all genres of heavy metal have covered the album's songs, including tribute albums." This seems something interesting to talk about, but it not mentioned later in the article. Perhaps you should add a new paragraph at the "Accolades and legacy" section, talking about this. Cambalachero (talk) 16:06, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * This is likely based on the 2006 edition of Kerrang! ('Accolades and legacy') in which the album was covered by a variety of bands.
 * Metallica was motivated by fans and critics expectations to make successful album. I wanted to ask something: Is it obvious (from the context) that Cliff Burnstein and Peter Mensch are managers working for Q Prime (record label)?--Retrohead (talk) 08:50, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Clarified, nevermind.--Retrohead (talk) 08:01, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Comments by Cptnono (Might take a day or two, putting this in my own queue and asking the coords not to archive this just yet juust in case it looks like its becoming stagnant..Cptnono (talk) 05:59, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Nice overall. I like that it doesn't get too wiki genre warish. Good style. Good writing. I believe most of the above is reletively easy to address. Cptnono (talk) 04:35, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * There is a clarification needed tag in the first paragraph of the body. I can't tell why but it needs to be addressed or removed.
 * Addressed. It was whether Burnstein and Mensch were managers, which I thought was obvious from the context, but clarified anyway.
 * "El Cerrito" should be clarified with California. People outside of the area probably don't know where it is and he article doesn't mention the state beforehand.
 * Done, wrote the state within it.
 * "The recording took longer than the last album because Metallica developed a perfectionist sense and had higher ambitions. for this one " or some other change?
 * For this album, mentioned at the end of the sentence.
 * I wanted a little more about the cover while reading the article. I always assumed the art was more related to Disposable Heroes than Master of Puppets but could be wrong. Regardless, I would still like more info on the background of the art if a source can fill that hole.
 * Will search for more info. Sorry, but major Metallica biographies don't offer larger information on the cover (such as inspiration, creation, etc.) What is in the article is all I can provide.
 * I had a hit on my first try: "Rock and Roll Always Forgets: A Quarter Century of Music Criticism" pg101. Surely there is more out there.
 * "The album was recorded with the following equipment:..." could be its own paragraph. This could maybe be expanded if you felt like it and found sources but is not necessary to reach FA.
 * The equipment information was provided by Curly Turkey (big thanks for that). I don't have the magazines, so this is the best the article can offer.
 * "...who had his arm severed in a car accident." should this read "recently had" or "after he had"? It comes across as trivia otherwise.
 * Time adverbs such as recently are not allowed per WP:RECENTISM. In my opinion, this is less verbose than going with "after he had".
 * I don't think I properly expressed my concern and RECENTISM doesn't apply in the sense that I am getting at. The line needs to be reworked in some way.Cptnono (talk) 04:35, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, got you point. Already fixed.
 * The sentence with "both open with a fast thrasher with an acoustic intro" is hard to follow. Can you edit it to make it clearer (I believe that if I stumbled on it someone who doesn't enjoy the genre will have a harder time).
 * Agree, "thrasher" sounds like a fancruft a bit.
 * There are a couple tags in the "Music and lyrics" section.
 * Addressed, credited the author.
 * ""Battery" is about anger and refers to 'battery' in the sense of 'assault and battery'." Should "the term" be used somewhere in that line?
 * Done, thanks for the advice.
 * I can't read the source but "The theme is cocaine addiction, a topic considered taboo at the time." jumped out. If that is hat the source says then keep it.
 * Yes, that is the exact sentence I used from King's book.
 * Several of the thoughts in the review section look like they need to be in quotes. Maybe the following section, as well.
 * These are largely paraphrased, that's the main reason why they are not in quotes.
 * I don't understand "and offered readers the cover album Master of Puppets: Remastered". Was it on special order through the magazine?
 * The CD was part of the magazine's issue. It was kind of a gift to the readers.
 * "The driver maintained that he hit the patch of black ice, but Hetfield disputed that." What did Hetfield and the charging officers believe? What was the result?
 * The driver was accused, but found not guilty.
 * I understand. Did Hetfield say he was drunk, negligent, reckless, or something else like that?Cptnono (talk) 04:35, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I also think that the article could be a little overkill with nonfree content. Not enough to withhold support but throwing it out there. Speaking of nonfree, some of the writing read like something I would see in a professionally published book instead of a volunteer project like Wikipedia. I could not find any blatant copyright vios from what I could check so I trust that you just did a really nice job. I'm not too worried but do a quick run through to double check close paraphrasing.
 * Thanks for the kind words.
 * Speaking of links, #12 is a dead link.
 * You need to have username on Classic Rock to be able to read their articles. I don't have and that's why I can't access the page on their website. Luckily, I managed to read the article before the staff introduced the new rules.
 * Ref #3 and #5 (I'll let you check the rest) notes pages but instead lists chapters.
 * The counter on Google Books doesn't display the pages, that's the reason why I cited the chapters instead.
 * I believe chapters can be used instead of pages: Template:Cite bookCptnono (talk) 04:35, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Closing comment -- I see no consensus to promote developing after nearly six weeks, nor much recent activity, so I'll be archiving this shortly. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 14:25, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
