Live in Japan (Sarah Vaughan album)

Live in Japan is a 1973 live album by the American jazz singer Sarah Vaughan, recorded at the Nakano Sun Plaza Hall in Tokyo, Japan.

Release
The two volumes were released separately. A double compact disc set was issued in 1993.

Reception and legacy
The album was praised in the original LP sleeve-notes by jazz critic Nat Hentoff: "There is Sarah's striking sense of design. The basic framework of each song is carefully structured and personalised, and that makes her frequently stunning improvisations ... all the more absorbing. ... Hers is so resonant and rich a sound you feel you can almost touch it ... in sum a nonpareil illustration of a master singer at the peak of her expressive energies."

The Billboard magazine review from December 15, 1973, commented that "Sarah's virtuosity is something constant...she is superb is gliding, floating, soaring, caressing each word, each note, breaking down words into syllables and extracting the true meaning from each phrase." The review described Vaughan's performance of "Wave" as "a soft, delicate experience in which the scales the vocal spectrum."

In his 2003 book Jazz on Record: The First Sixty Years, critic Scott Yanow described Live in Japan as featuring Vaughan at the "height of her powers" and wrote that "Sassy's voice is often heard in miraculous form on this set."

In 2006, the United States Library of Congress honored the album by adding it to the National Recording Registry.

Arabic/Numbers

 Arabic 101: An Introduction to Arabic

Unit: Arabic Numbers

Goal
By the end of this unit, the student should be able to read,  comprehend, and be able to transliterate any/all numbers of the known Arabic alphabet in all forms of each number, whether they are isolated or within larger numbers.

Following along in the textbook

 * Sorry, nothing in the book yet. Maybe some soul would love to add something in there about numbers. Well, if I can get through this course in one piece, then I will myself I suppose. In the meantime, this will serve all the facets of this area. Not too much studying necessary when all the numbers are here.

Numbers

 * 0 — sifr
 * 1 — wāhid
 * 2 — ithnān
 * 3 — thalātha
 * 4 — 'arbaca
 * 5 — khamsa
 * 6 — sitta
 * 7 — sabca
 * 8 — thamāniya
 * 9 — tisca
 * 10 — cashra
 * 11 — 'ahada cashra
 * 12 — ithnā cashra
 * 13 — thalātha cashra
 * 14 — 'arbaca cashra
 * 15 — khamsa cashra
 * 16 — sitta cashra
 * 17 — sabca cashra
 * 18 — thamāniya cashra
 * 19 — tisca cashra

 * 25 — khamsa wa-cishrūn
 * 26 — sitta wa-cishrūn
 * 27 — sabca wa-cishrūn
 * 28 — thamāniya wa-cishrūn
 * 29 — tisca wa-cishrūn
 * 30 — thalāthūn
 * 35 — khamsa wa-thalāthūn
 * 40 — 'arbacūn
 * 42 — 'ithnān wa-'arbacūn
 * 50 — khamsūn
 * 59 — tisca wa-khamsūn
 * 60 — sittūn
 * 66 — sitta wa-sittūn
 * 70 — sabcūn
 * 73 — thalātha wa-sabcūn
 * 80 — thamānūn
 * 84 — 'arbaca wa-thamānūn
 * 90 — tiscūn
 * 91 — 'ahad wa-tiscūn
 * 100 — mi'a
 * 102 — mi'a wa-ithnān
 * 153 — mi'a thalātha wa-khamsūn
 * 1000 — 'alf
 * 1111 — 'alf mi'a 'ahada cashra
 * 1603 — 'alf sitt mi'a wa-thalātha

Grammar: Use of numbers

Numbers in Arabic are quite complicated, there are different rules for the numbers, numbers are declined according to gender. Getting the grip on numbers in order to make practical use of them (few Arabs used numbers correctly), is however reasonably easy. From 21 to 99 you count like this: (example) 24: Four wa-twenty.From 12 to 19 you count like this (example) 15: Five Ten. 11 is slightly slightly diverging. When putting numbers together with nouns you do like this:

1: (example) 1 book is said as simply as "book", "kitâb", you leave 1 out, unless it is very important to emphasise that it is one book. 2: (example) 2 books is a special case, as Arabic not only has singular and plural, but also dual. The rules here are straight, but often omitted by students, who wind up saying "2 books",

ithnân kutub.

That is not correct, and the correct dual for 2 books is

kitâbâni.

3 and up: You place the full form of the number first, immediately followed by the noun: 42 books:

ithnân wa-'arbacûn kutub.

While this is not the correct form, it is OK to say it this way at the present level. If you're curious, this is the correct way for saying 42 books:

ithnân wa-'arbacûn kitâbân.

Assessment

 * Just been improving this article. I think it fits the start-class stage now.--HisSpaceResearch 16:18, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * In fact, I's say I think, given the work I've now done on it, that it's B-class, albeit a very short B-class given that there isn't really all that much I can say about this album.--HisSpaceResearch 18:11, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd like to be able to get this album to GA status, but I don't think there is enough information about it in existence to make that possible. Anyone got an opinion? --HisSpaceResearch 18:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The only other concern I have about it not being up to GA status (besides length as I just mentioned) is a fairly minor one about reliable sources. I mean, George Starostin and Mark Prindle may not be professional music critics, but they're pretty damned close. I'm gonna try for GA anyway.--HisSpaceResearch 19:14, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

As for the album itself
I feel the All Music Guide underrates the album. I rated it on Rate Your Music with 3.5 stars, and although critics have generally given it bad reviews, it'd be interesting to see an album that generally gets poor reviews achieve GA status.--HisSpaceResearch 21:57, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

GA pass
This article is a very short one, but it does have a wealth of information about its subject. It is well-researched and referenced, and remains neutral. However, I would suggest that the citation in the first paragraph that substantiates the release date should be removed, that need not be referenced. Another picture also would not hurt. Overall, however, I feel that this article deserves GA.ErleGrey 15:51, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * If you want to remove that citation yourself, that's your choice if you feel it's appropriate. As for the picture, I can't find any pictures of the band around this stage. As I've stated in the article, this is probably their least known studio recording...--HisSpaceResearch 05:23, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * References come after punctuation with no space [1]) should be )[1], References are also missing details such as publisher (website) date retrieved. The  can help with this. Also don't wikilink solo years such as 1997 M3tal H3ad 07:37, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Civ/Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri/Early Game Strategy

Economics
The very heart and soul of any empire is the economy. It supersedes the army, and even technological research and innovation. Do not misunderstand this. The production of war materials and research are vitally important to your survival and eventual dominance, but an empire's ability to produce quantities of either is driven by the force and stability of that empire's economy. You must understand that players who use a strictly militaristic focus are playing the game from the "Momentum" standpoint. Their key hope is that their program of relentless assault can end the game before some Builder or Hybrid player can build up a strong enough economy to stand against them. Never forget:

 * 1) Your economy is the most versatile tool you have. In times of crisis, you can configure it to crank out massive amounts of cash to fund your war effort (or whatever), and in times of peace you can ratchet your research up through the roof.
 * 2) Contrast that to military units, which are actually only useful in three very specific situations: If you are attacked, if you launch an attack, or if you can make your opponent believe you are about to launch an attack (i.e. feint) (see below on creating turn advantage). Otherwise, they simply take up space on the board. They represent a certain amount of "potential energy." That is to say, the potential to cause harm to another empire or to defend your holdings.
 * 3) Technological advances are likewise "potential energy." By themselves they do nothing for you. You have to actually build something to get anything useful out of them (a new prototype, base facility, secret project...something).

Factors of production on Chiron
You've already been introduced to them, and here they are again, this time, with a slightly different treatment:

Nutrients: Enables your population to expand.

Minerals: Allows you to build stuff.

Energy: Drives your research efforts and puts cash in your pocket. In order to build a healthy economy, attention must be paid to all three.

Your economy is driven by the function of the passage of time acting against the three factors of production listed above. It's like plate tectonics, with time on one side and your productive factors on the other. You can vary your economy's effectiveness versus time (bigger or smaller "quakes" = speeding up or slowing down) by adjusting your three factors of production.

Basic economic theory
The basics of economic theory are intuitive, but are outlined below:

Makin' Big Cities: Maximize nutrient output over time. Note that without controls on growth (i.e., sufficient mineral production to produce anti-drone facilities), your base will suffer chronic rioting.

Makin' Productive Cities: Maximize mineral output over time. Lets you build stuff very quickly. Too much mineral production leads to eco-damage, which in turn, leads to "worm rape" — something you don't want to see.

Makin' Bill Gates Cities (lots of tech and cash): Maximize energy output over time. Generates money and research points very quickly, but comes with the ill effect that it takes a long time to build all the base facilities you need to get to this point (i.e., it will take even longer if you don't balance this with mineral production).

Intermediate economic theory
As I said above, basic management of the factors of productive is intuitive (if you want the base to grow, give them lots of food), but since it is clear that taking any of the factors of production to their extreme is probably detrimental in some way (to say nothing of the inefficiency it creates), it becomes obvious that some balance needs to be struck. He who has a clearer understanding of when to focus on which of the factors of production will almost always be able to create a stronger economy than he who is content to let the computer make production decisions.

Energy production is basically unimportant in the early game. You are starting from scratch. You have nothing. No infrastructure at all. What you need is a good balance of nutrients (to grow your population pretty rapidly), and minerals (to build your first, most basic facilities fairly quickly). Only when that has been accomplished should you begin to worry much over energy production or enhancement. For this reason, planting forests is probably the most important early-game terrain enhancing you can do. Due to mineral and energy restrictions, early forests will produce as much as early mines (and mines take 6-8 turns to build). Two forests (which tend to expand on their own), or one mine? You don't have to be a student of economics to see which is more efficient, and efficiency is the name of the game (and this provides something in the way of a specific explanation of the terraforming choices mentioned earlier in this guide). Of course, in the same breath, do not discount the value of mines and boreholes. Your spare formers should be working on both of these terrain enhancements as soon as you are able, planning for the day when the mineral restrictions come off, and enabling you to instantly shift your supply crawlers around to take advantage of new efficiencies brought about by your increasing tech-level.

Once you get your most essential base facilities constructed you should probably shift into a more balanced mineral/nutrient mix (still not paying terribly much attention to energy) in order to facilitate population growth, while using your selected "focus" to heighten each base's per turn output of one of the factors of production in particular. Here though, certain base facilities can make this more efficient (don't kick up your nutrient harvesting until you finish your Children's Creche, otherwise you're just spinning your wheels). Also, monitor your growth constantly as your bases creep up on their maximum size, and adjust your nutrient output accordingly. You don't want any wasted effort if you can help it. Wasted effort and resource is an opportunity for your opponent to close the gap on you and possibly overtake you.

Secret projects
A number of truly powerful Secret Projects become available amazingly early on in the game, and we'll take a brief look at each of them in turn. Evaluate them against your favored strategy and see which of them fit best with your game. When you have a list of projects that are "essential" to your strategy, pursue them with a vengeance in your games! Understand though (especially in multiplayer games) that you might not get all of the projects you'd like, so the important thing here is not to overcommit. That is to say, if there are currently six Secret Projects available to you, don't start working on all six at once! If you do, and someone beats you to a project, you are stuck with two options, neither of them very good. You can either opt to change the production in your base, losing half of the accumulated minerals you had built up toward that project, or you can have that base continue to build, with plans to switch over to a new project as soon as you get a tech that grants you one. The problem here though, is if you do that, you effectively tie that base up for a number of turns where no further developmental work can be accomplished at that base — not a good thing at all. So, take your project work in small slices, and try to only start a project when you are reasonably sure you can finish it ahead of everyone else.

The very best way to rapidly complete a secret project is to have all the bases in the immediate vicinity of the "Project Base" build Supply Crawlers and have them start harvesting minerals. In all likelihood, you will begin to run some eco-damage, but don't worry, it won't be for long! Remember that each crawler you have costs you a base of 30 minerals. Remember too, that most of the early game projects cost between 200-300 minerals, which means that for a paltry ten crawlers (less than that, in practice), you can complete any of the early game projects! This is one reason why Industrial Automation is so important. Your goal here is to keep building crawlers at an ever increasing rate until you have enough to send them all to the "Project Base" and finish the project. Alternately, you could simply set your nearby bases to building crawlers and shuffle them into the Project base upon completion, but this is slightly less efficient, although the upshot is that you don't have to worry with eco-damage creating fungal blooms and the potential for worm-rape. Also note that, if you have the cash, you can get significantly more "bang for your buck" by spending some cash to upgrade the crawler to a more expensive variant, because when you cash the crawler in toward the Secret Project, you will get its full mineral value; note however that crawler-upgrading is regarded as a cheat in many circles, so check beforehand to make sure that's acceptable, and if not, just use "regular" Crawlers as described above.

Talk:Fundamentals of Music

I'm trying to think of a better way to reclarify the Piano reference in the Treble Cleff section, but I can't come up with any better ways of saying it, keep in mind that we need to assume they know NOTHING about reading music at this point.-Medrin 14:25, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I corrected answer three on the modifiers section. '3. How many sixteenth notes are in a dotted whole note?' The correct answer is 24. H4x5k8 21:15, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Surely there ought to be some diagrams on this page?? - Matt.kaner

 * re: diagrams - working on it --Kittybriton 22:20, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I think the whole Treble Clef section is a little confusing. The information is good, but maybe we could change the order of it. When I'm teaching my kids the treble clef, the most important aspect of the treble clef is it's position of the treble clef compared to the grand staff and which instruments use it. As a choral teacher I add in that Tenors, Altos, and Sopranos use this clef. After that is when I go into that the clef is called the G clef because the curl in the middle wraps around the "G". At this point I would have a diagram/image that shows the letters names that correspond with the clef as opposed to having it written as you do in the next paragraph.

As for the Treble Clef I would just say the right hand of the piano typically uses the treble clef whereas the bass line is played with the left. I think that's basic enough for everyone to understand.

Also I have a ton of worksheets I'd like to eventually add to this page. I haven't done enough research on how to do this but let me know if you think that's a good place for us to go right now. In addition to that, let me know if you have trouble finding images to add.

Diagrams and/or pictures
This article would be much easier to understand for a complete novice like me if pictures and/or diagrams where used. There are several references to note or score symbols and it would be quite helpfull if these symbols were shown and likewise for the references to specific placements. --<IP_ADDRESS> (discuss) 14:45, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Dotted notes
There is a mistake in the text. It says that a dot adds half the value of the note, which is correct. Then it says that a second dot adds half the value of the previous note and dot combined. This is not true. The second dot adds half the value of the first dot. For instance a dotted 8th is equal to the 8th plus a 16th. A double dotted 8th is equal to the 8th plus the 16th plus a 32nd.

Note names
This description uses the American note names. British usage is rather different:

I'm not aware of usage outside these areas, but it should be researched and added so as not to confuse students who live outside the USA. Martin of Sheffield (discuss • contribs) 17:36, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Cookbook:French Fries

| Side dishes

French fries (or chips) are a well-known element of fast food.

Ingredients

 * Potatoes (those with a high dry matter content such as Russet or Maris Piper work best)
 * Cooking oil
 * Salt

Procedure

 * 1) Peel potatoes, and cut into thin straw-like pieces.
 * 2) Wash potatoes well with water to remove excess starch.
 * 3) Place fries in a saucepan with water, and simmer or parboil on the stove for about 15 minutes.
 * 4) Drain the fries, and dry them well.
 * 5) Deep fry in 175°C vegetable oil, lard, or drippings for 4–5 minutes until light golden and crisp.
 * 6) Remove from oil, and place on plate with paper towels to absorb the leftover cooking oil. Transfer to another plate if necessary.
 * 7) Add salt and shake to ensure all French fries are evenly salted.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * You can vary the size of the potato slices. Thick wedge shapes are home-style fries or English-style chips, while thinly julienned potatoes make for shoestring potatoes. Cooking times will need to be adjusted accordingly.
 * Try adding other spices after cooking. Minced garlic is popular in California cuisine.
 * Instead of ketchup, serve with mayonnaise, gravy, barbecue sauce, or salt, hummus, and vinegar.
 * For poutine (a French-Canadian treat), toss cooked fries with cheese curds and smother with gravy.
 * Some cook the fries a single time in a generous amount of oil pre-heated to a temperature around 375 °F (190 °C) until they are golden and slightly crisp.
 * The method recommended by most cookbooks and used by many restaurants, is to cook them in two stages: first at around 350 °F (177 °C) until the fries are nearly cooked but limp and pale; after they have been removed from the oil and allowed to cool, they are briefly fried at a higher temperature of around 375 °F (190 °C) until golden and crisp.
 * A method attributed to the celebrated French chef Joël Robuchon for the home cook says to put the sliced potatoes into a saucepan with just enough cold oil in it to cover the potatoes, then to cook them over high heat until golden, stirring occasionally.

Warnings

 * Do not attempt to extinguish fat fires with water! If the oil becomes too hot, it may catch fire. Do not attempt to extinguish it with water, as this will cause an explosive reaction: oil floats on water, so water will only help the oil move up and get more oxygen. Instead, turn off the stove if possible, try to cover fire with a lid or any other piece of solid, non-flammable material, and use a class B fire extinguisher if the fire is still not under control. If that fails to work, evacuate and call the emergency service.

Pride of America

MS Pride of America is a cruise ship operated by NCL America, a division of Norwegian Cruise Lines, to sail itineraries in the Hawaiian Islands. Construction of the ship began in 2000 in the United States as part of a plan for a US-built and US-flagged cruise ship under Project America, but the project failed and she was eventually purchased by Norwegian Cruise Lines and completed in Germany. She was inaugurated in 2005, and was the first new U.S. flagged, deep water cruise ship in nearly fifty years since the SS Argentina of 1958.

Construction and design
For much of her early build history, Pride of America was known as Project America 1; the first of a pair of 70,000-gross ton cruise ships to be built with heavy federal subsidies. Project America was intended as a means of improving the competitiveness of American shipyards in constructing merchant ships, as well as creating the first US-registered passenger ships of any real size in decades.

The ship was intended to primarily operate in the Hawaiian islands under the revived name of United States Line, and replace the temporary MS Patriot and American Hawaii Cruises aging SS Independence, both American Classic Voyages subsidiary brands. A letter of intent was signed on October 6, 1998, with Litton-Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi to construct two passenger ships for Hawaii inter-island service with options to build up to four additional vessels. The keel was laid down for Project America 1 at the Pascagoula, Mississippi shipyard in October 2000. The ship was to feature a four-deck-high atrium, a 1,060-seat dining room, an 840-seat theater, a 590-seat cabaret lounge, and a "uniquely Hawaiian" outdoor performance stage, with interiors by designer John McNeece and his company.

The Project America program collapsed in 2001. American Classic Voyages, the parent company, filed for bankruptcy in October 2001. Work on the ship would be suspended on October 25, 2001, after the United States Maritime Administration decided to cease all funding for the vessels' construction, leaving the shipyard no choice but to stop production. The ship was 40 percent complete, and 55 percent erected, with 91 percent of the material having already been purchased.

In August 2002, Norwegian Cruise Line Ltd acquired the 40 percent completed hull, along with all the materials and equipment for the Project America vessels. The hull was towed from Litton-Ingalls Shipbuilding to the Lloyd Werft Shipyard in Bremerhaven, Germany for completion as Pride of America for their newly launched NCL America division. In the process, the ship was lengthened from 850 ft to 920 ft, increasing the gross tonnage from 72,000 to more than 80,000.

Under NCL America, the ship was initially slated for completion in 2004, but the delivery date was pushed back to 2005 after a major storm hit the Lloyd Werft shipyard in January 2004 that caused considerable damage to the vessel causing her to sink at her berth. Damage assessments reveal that the ship had suffered no damage to the hull, although extensive work was required to repair and replace equipment and interior fixtures, which were submerged for more than a month. The delay caused Norwegian Cruise Line to reshuffle its fleet, and move the Norwegian Sky to the NCL America brand, renaming it Pride of Aloha, and takeover the Pride of America's original 2004 itineraries.

The Pride of America was repaired, and completed sea trials in May 2005. In June 2005, it left Lloyd Werft Shipyard in Germany, passing the retiring fleet mate SS Norway (which had been used to house workers for Pride of America) and sailed for New York City for its christening.

Service history
The ship was christened at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal on June 17, 2005 by then-United States Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao who released the traditional bottle against the ship's hull. The naming ceremony was significant as the first new U.S.-flagged cruise ship in nearly fifty years, and would fly the American flag donated from the U.S. Capitol Building on its inaugural voyage.

The Pride of America's pre maiden voyage was an East Coast publicity cruise June 18–24, 2005, with Live with Regis and Kelly broadcasting their morning show from onboard the ship. A special platform was built on top of the sports court for Regis and Kelly's morning desk. The voyage sailed from New York City, north to Boston, then headed south for stops in Philadelphia, Norfolk and ending in Miami.

The Pride of America continued its maiden voyage sailing through the Panama Canal, up to San Francisco and then over to Honolulu, where the ship joined its fleet mate, the Pride of Aloha. The ship was assigned to a weekly itinerary around the Hawaiian Islands with roundtrip cruises from Honolulu, and stopping at Kahului, Hilo, Kailua Kona and Nawiliwili.

Pride of America entered a 14-day, $30 million dry dock on 23 March 2013 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The ship's renovations including the addition of 24 ultra-luxurious suites (replacing the former top deck conference center and observation deck); four Studio staterooms and four inside staterooms; a Brazilian-style steakhouse; ship wide wireless internet connectivity; new carpeting throughout; flat screen televisions in all staterooms; updated décor; upgrades to the fitness center; new directional signage; renovations to the gift shop, photo gallery and art gallery.

Pride of America entered a 24-day dry dock period in February 2016, at the BAE Systems San Francisco Ship Repair facility. Normally, the ship uses facilities in Pearl Harbor, but these were already fully booked.

During the COVID-19 pandemic on cruise ships, the Hawaii Department of Transportation reported on 8 April 2020 that six crew members of Pride of America had tested positive for COVID-19. Two of the crew members were taken to a hospital for treatment, while the other patients were isolated on board the ship. Another positive case was later announced, bringing the total number of cases to seven.

Following the suspension of cruise operations to mitigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pride of America did not carry passengers after 14 March 2020, and docked at Honolulu Harbor, her homeport, with a complement of roughly 500 crew members. This number of crew was later reduced to approximately 140, most of whom are the professional mariners needed to keep the ship operational. By June 2021 she was dry docked at Vigor Shipyards in Portland, Oregon with about 200 crew members. In August, 2021, Norwegian Cruise Lines said that the ship would resume service in January, 2022. The first post-pandemic cruise departed on April 9, 2022.

U.S. flagged cruise ship
A special exemption on the part of the U.S. government allowed the modified vessel and the mostly German-built Pride of Hawaii to attain U.S. registry since they had parts that were built in the United States (Pride of Aloha was also given an exemption, despite being completely built in Germany). Since Pride of America is registered in the U.S., she is subject to U.S. labor laws and is staffed by a mostly U.S. crew. This is in contrast to most other cruise ships, which are registered in flag of convenience countries and have mainly foreign crews. In addition, Pride of America has no casino onboard, because she never leaves U.S. waters. The U.S. registry allows the ship to travel solely between U.S. ports, unlike all other foreign flagged cruise ships that must abide by the Passenger Vessel Services Act of 1886.

The professional Deck and Engine officers on the Pride of America are supplied by the Marine Engineer's Beneficial Association, and the M.E.B.A.'s current president (2021-), Adam Vokac, had sailed as First Assistant Engineer onboard.

Paul Whitehead

Paul Whitehead is a British painter and graphic artist known for his surrealistic album covers for artists on the Charisma Records label in the 1970s, such as Genesis and Van der Graaf Generator.

England: Liberty Records and Charisma Records
An art show in London in the mid-sixties led to Whitehead being picked up as an in-house artist for the London office of Jazz record label Liberty Records. Previously, he had been studying at the University of Oxford on an art scholarship. The first record cover he designed was for a repackaged Fats Domino album. This was followed by a series of work for other reissues for the UK market. In 1968, Whitehead became the original art director for Time Out in London magazine, which led him to further commissions for album covers.

After a meeting with producer John Anthony, Whitehead was introduced to Tony Stratton Smith, the founder of Charisma Records. Smith introduced Whitehead to Genesis, and he was hired to do the cover to their 1970 album, Trespass. Charisma Records allowed Whitehead complete creative control over his work. Fruitful work in collaboration with Genesis, Van der Graaf Generator, Lindisfarne, and Peter Hammill followed at Charisma. Additionally, Whitehead is also credited as a performer on the Peter Hammill albums Fool's Mate (drums) and In Camera (percussion).

United States
In 1973, Whitehead moved to Los Angeles, where he continued to work on album covers as a freelancer. He is still most associated with progressive rock, and designed the 2000 logo for NEARfest.

As a founder of the Eyes and Ears Foundation, he conceived of and organised the "Drive Though Art Gallery" Artboard Festival in February 1977, where artists painted on donated billboards. He has also created murals and designed corporate logos. Whitehead was in the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest indoor mural, which he painted at the Vegas World casino (since demolished and replaced by the Stratosphere casino) in Las Vegas.

Against Aristogeiton

Two speeches "Against Aristogeiton" (κατα Αριστογειτονος) are preserved in the corpus of Demosthenes, as speeches 25 and 26. Both purport to come from a prosecution of Aristogeiton initiated by Lycurgus on the grounds that Aristogeiton had initiated prosecutions and made speeches in the assembly when he was disenfranchised. Since the 19th century, the authenticity of both speeches has been doubted.

Background
Not much is known about Aristogeiton other that what is found in the speeches against him. He was a prominent politician in Athens who had already been involved in a number of legal entanglements before the case from which Demosthenes' speeches were given.

The case against Aristogeiton in this suit was that he was a public debtor, and therefore disenfranchised. Aristogeiton had been fined five talents for a charge of graphe paranomon (proposing an illegal decree), and 1,000 drachmas for failing to win one fifth of the jurors' votes in a prosecution he himself had brought. Both of these debts had been doubled, as Aristogeiton had failed to pay them off promptly. Later, these debts had been taken on by his brother, Eunomos, and so Aristogeiton had resumed public life, arguing that he was no longer a debtor to the treasury. His prosecutors argued that, as Eunomos had not finished paying off the debt, Aristogeiton should still be disenfranchised. Aristogeiton also owed a third fine to the treasury, which he had challenged. At the time of the trial, the challenge had not yet been considered; the prosecutors therefore argued that Aristogeiton should still be considered as owing it, and therefore disenfranchised.

The prosecution of Aristogeiton was brought by Lycurgus. The second speech refers to the Battle of Chaeronea, which puts the terminus post quem of the speech at 338 BC; as the trial pre-dates Deinarchos' prosecution of Aristogeiton, it could have been no later than 324 BC.

Content
The first speech against Aristogeiton assumes that the substance of the charges against Aristogeiton have already been proven by the preceding prosecution speakers. Instead of attempting to demonstrate Aristogeiton's guilt, it focuses on attacking him more broadly for his poneria (wickedness). The speaker relates a series of shocking anecdotes about Aristogeiton's conduct, which though not strictly relevant to the charges against him show Aristogeiton in a poor light. Following this, Demosthenes moves on to a more substantial point of law, which he says was not discussed by Lycurgus: he argues that a debt does not cease upon being challenged, but only when that challenge is upheld. The final section of the first speech consists of an examination of pleas which could be made in mitigation, along with an analysis of why they do not apply to Aristogeiton's case.

The second speech is much shorter than the first. Much of the speech discusses the importance of punishing lawbreakers in general – and Aristogeiton, as a prominent politician, in particular. The speech draws parallels with past politicians who were punished for breaking the law.

Authorship
The authorship of both of the speeches against Aristogeiton has long been questioned by scholars. As both are preserved as supporting speeches by Demosthenes at the same trial, and Demosthenes can only have made one such speech, at least one of them must be inauthentic.

The first speech was generally accepted as authentic by ancient authorities – Dionysius of Halicarnassus is the only ancient author to dispute that Demosthenes wrote it. Other ancient authors, including Pliny the Younger and the author of On the Sublime, accept it as Demosthenic. Since the 19th century, however, the authorship has been questioned, primarily on the basis that it makes mistakes about Athenian law which Demosthenes would not have. Additionally, Raphael Sealey challenges the speech on the grounds that it contradicts other sources on Aristogeiton at a number of points. Sealey therefore concludes that the speech was a later rhetorical exercise. Friedrich Blass attributed the speech to Demosthenes, but considered it "repetitive, confused and disorderly" and therefore suggested that it was drafted, but never delivered, by him. More recently, Douglas MacDowell has argued that Against Aristogeiton I is correctly attributed to Demosthenes.

The second speech is generally considered not have been written by Demosthenes. Both Sealey and MacDowell consider it to have been written at the time of the trial, but by a different author. Sealey argues on stylistic grounds that it cannot have been written by Demosthenes – the high number of tribrachs (three consecutive short syllables) was generally avoided by Demosthenes. MacDowell argues that it "lacks the strength of expression" that the first speech has, and is therefore less likely to have been authored by Demosthenes.

Template:Year article/doc

Year article outputs the title of the article in which a year appears.

Usage
The template requires one parameter: the year, supplied as an integer. Positive numbers are AD; negative numbers are BC. An optional offset may be given as a number of years. The output is the title of the article in which the year appears. (If the year is has no article then the output is the title which might be expected, e.g. AD 5678 or 5678 BC.) Year zero with an offset is treated as if the year were inserted between 1 BC and AD 1.

Examples

 * → (there being no year zero)
 * → (420 being a disambiguation page)
 * → ( being a redirect from the subtopic)
 * → (Five years after where year zero would have been had it existed)

Northwest Airlines Flight 2

Northwest Airlines Flight 2 was a Lockheed Super Electra aircraft, registration NC17388, which crashed into the Bridger Mountains in Gallatin County, Montana, about 12 mi northeast of Bozeman, on January 10, 1938. All ten on board were killed in the accident, which was the first fatal crash of a Lockheed Super Electra and of a Northwest Airlines aircraft.

Flight 2 was en route eastbound from Seattle to Chicago, with intermediate stops at Spokane, Butte, and Billings, Montana. The Monday afternoon flight had just left Butte and was flying over Belgrade when it diverted to the north to avoid a dust storm over Bozeman Pass. The first officer contacted the Northwest Airlines radio operator at 3:05 PM MST to advise that Flight 2 had reached the cruising altitude of 9000 ft at 2:53 PM. Ground witnesses reported that as it passed over the Bridger Mountain range (which at the point the aircraft passed over an elevation of approximately 8500 ft above sea level) the aircraft immediately dropped, went into a stall, glided for a short time, then spun into the ground. The wreckage burst into flames, and all ten aboard died immediately.

The next day's edition of The New York Times carried the story on the top of its front page and reported in part: "BOZEMAN, Mont., Jan. 10 — A Northwest Airlines transport plane crashed on a snow-covered peak high in the Bridger Mountains fourteen miles northeast of here late today, carrying to their deaths ten persons listed as being aboard. Sheriff Lovitt I. Westlake of Bozeman, who led a party on bobsleds to the crash scene, said he counted nine bodies and they were charred beyond recognition. Northwest Airlines officials reported eight passengers and a crew of two were aboard. The fuselage of the plane was burned into a twisted mass of steel. Sheriff Westlake said that the plane appeared to have plunged nose first into the mountainside in a small clearing. Two ranchers, cutting wood on the rugged mountain slope, said they saw the plane burst into flames as it hit the ground."

Investigators with the Civil Aeronautics Authority (CAA), a predecessor organization of both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), determined that both vertical fins and both rudders were missing from the twin-tailed aircraft. They believed that the empennage had failed due to flutter. Weather reports from surrounding communities as well as the existence of the dust storm in Bozeman Pass led investigators to believe that the aircraft likely encountered severe to extreme turbulence which may have initiated the flutter.

Within 24 hours of the accident, the Department of Commerce (governing authority of the CAA) ordered that all Lockheed Super Electras be immediately grounded and that tests be performed to confirm that the figures obtained in the aircraft's original vibration tests were accurate. It was discovered that the machine used by Lockheed (and authorized by the Department of Commerce) to measure the natural vibration periods of the component parts of the aircraft had given Lockheed engineers misleading results. The Department ordered that the rudders of all Super Electras be modified so as to eliminate the possibility that flutter would cause an in-flight break-up.

Northwest had been the first U.S. airline to take delivery of the Super Electra, but sold most of its remaining Electra fleet in 1939 after three subsequent accidents called the airworthiness and commercial potential of the aircraft into question. One Electra crashed in southern California while in the process of being delivered to the airline in Minnesota, and the other two in eastern Montana. The second, Flight 4, crashed in Billings after the pilot stalled the aircraft on takeoff. The third, Flight 1, crashed shortly after takeoff from Miles City after a design and manufacturing error allowed an intense fire to develop in the cockpit.

Flight 2 was piloted by Nick Mamer, a well-known aviation pioneer in the Pacific Northwest who had flown over a million miles (1.6 million km). The first officer (co-pilot) was Fred West, and two of the passengers were employees of the airline.

In 1939, a large Moderne clock tower was erected at Felts Field in Spokane, Washington, as a memorial to the victims of the Flight 2 crash in Bozeman. Bridger Bowl Ski Area is just south of the crash site.

Let's get our ASSES[sment] in gear! CQ 01:18, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

methodology
Well, we should structure this a little more. When we reduce it down to just a number, we at least must guide the users a little, otherwise we can have "wrong" values. E.g. one user has probs with internet connection. When (s)he now gives a very bad grade only because of this, how would we know?

We can use quality models for this. Here is a FCM picture (no panic, we can build also a simple one, see below :-) ), how this can be structured in general: Factor: Qualitätsmerkmal Criterion: Qualitäts-Teilmerkmal Metrics: Qualitäts-Indikatoren

There are quality models already available, like ISO 9126 (this is specific for software). So we need to build our own quality model with GQM (Goal, Question, Metric). Erkan Yilmaz (evaluate me!, discussion ) 19:01, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Juliane Wedel Jarlsberg

Juliane Cathrine Wilhelmine Wedel Jarlsberg (1818–1872) was a Norwegian court official. She served as the overhoffmesterinne for Queen Louise of Norway.

Life
She was the daughter of Norwegian baron Ferdinand Carl Maria Wedel-Jarlsberg (1781–1857) and Juliane Wilhelmine von Benzon (1783–1853). In 1851, she married the Norwegian nobleman Frederik (Fritz) Joachim Wedel Jarlsberg (1819–1880). She was the mother of Fritz Wedel Jarlsberg.

Her parents served at the Norwegian court, where her father was head of the court of king Oscar I and her mother as statsfru (lady-in-waiting) to queen mother Désirée Clary.

Prior to her marriage, Juliane Wedel Jarlsberg served as hoffrøken (maid of honour) to queen Josephine of Sweden and Norway under Fanny Løvenskiold. After her marriage, she was appointed overhoffmesterinne or principal lady-in-waiting to Queen Louise of Norway, who became queen in 1859. Her spouse was in parallel appointed be the hoffmarskalk (chamberlain) of the spouse of queen Louise, king Charles IV of Norway.

During the Union of Sweden and Norway, the Royal family mainly stayed in Sweden, and the Norwegian court staff served during their visits in Norway: during their visits in Norway, the royal family left their Swedish entourage at the border and was welcomed by their Norwegian court staff, and turned over their duties to their Swedish equivalents, and she thus shared her duties with her Swedish equivalent Wilhelmina Bonde in this fashion.

The queen's Norwegian household was however much smaller than her Swedish household: in 1869, Juliane Wedel Jarlsberg's Swedish equivalent Wilhelmina Bonde had three married ladies-in-waiting (statsfru) and three maids-of-honour (hovfröken) under her, while Juliane Wedel Jarlsberg had only one statsfru (Josephine Sparre) and one maid-of-honour (Alexandra Morgenstierne).

Wikipedia talk:The Most Important Thing Possible

Background
Since JesseW went and created this page, I might as well explain where the text in it came from.

There was a thread on the Administrators' noticeboard about two editors who were involved in a fairly massive, far-flung edit war over such weighty issues as... date formats. Nandesuka wryly observed that this was "of course, the most important thing possible that these editors could be working on". GTBacchus noted the way at least one of the editors had been breaking promises and running roughshod over policy, observing "I guess it's the fact that whether or not dates are linked is the most important thing in the world that makes it necessary to flout the opinions of other editors." I happened by, liked the phrasing that Nandesuka and GTBacchus had both used, wondered if we had a page along the lines of The Wrong Version about it, and coughed out a first draft (originally here). —Steve Summit (talk) 19:08, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Earlier comments
When it was originally posted on WP:AN (see above), this essay drew a couple of comments which it's worth reproducing here. (Note that I'm copying them with signatures intact, but that Syrthiss, Talrias, and JesseW the juggling janitor made their comments at the Administrator's Noticeboard earlier in March, not here now.) —Steve Summit (talk) 19:08, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

corollary
The corollary to this then should be: If you feel something is wrong, you are likely not the only person to see that it is wrong. If you cannot fix it, you can take comfort that you are not the single point of failure. Either some other editor will eventually correct it, or some other editor may eventually convince you that it was not wrong. --Syrthiss 20:52, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

serious or satire?
I'm trying to work out whether this is serious or satire. Or, more precisely, I'm wondering how many people would think what's written above is actually quite sensible advice. Talrias (t | e | c) 02:36, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Satire. I'm afraid of how many people would treat this as good advice.  Sort of like MPOV.  In any case, I've made a page for it The Most Important Thing Possible... Someone should come up with a nice WP:WP for it. Enjoy. JesseW, the juggling janitor 10:44, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Reducing confusion
I realise that the point of this page is to encourage people not to be stressed by policy, however, in the interests of having a basic level of civilisation/order I added a suggestion to people about deciding whether they would cause more harm/confusion than good by going blindly into their action. Not sure if it is something that will be questioned however as this is a humorous essay anyway. Ans e ll 11:12, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, actually I just reverted this addition because this is a humorous page :) --Duplode (talk) 00:49, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Talysh-Mughan Autonomous Republic

Talish
Im half Azeri and half Talish (dad's side) and maybe the Talysh-Mughan Republic flag but its not the Talish flag, which is: http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/images/a/az%7Dtnm.gif

As far as I know the Talish consider themselfs as Azeris and the last time a TMR speech was held, the holder of that speech got banned from the district because he wanted to separate Talsih from Azerbaijan. Im trying to say that the TMR has almost no support at all. Baku87 00:47, 21 March 2006 (UTC)Baku87

 * As far as I know, Iran's Azeris (my father included) consider themselves Iranians and the last time the separatists held another rally using Babek's commemoration as an excuse, they had zero support...most Iranian Azeris do not want to separate Azeri provinces from Iran...Azerbaycan bizim torpaqimizdi, Iran ise vetenimizdi...period.

I was talking about Talish who life in Azerbaijan not Iran. I know whoever lives in Iran is manipulated to think they are Iranians rather then Azeris. But other ethnic groups such as Persians and Kurds do believe they are first Kurds/Persians then second Iranians. South Azeris have been manipulated to think in refurse. Baku87 14:00, 10 April 2006 (UTC)Baku87

 * From what I've read, the Talysh were even organized in their own Khanate at the time Russia had conquered the region. I've also read that they went through intense persecution under Stalin who denied them autonomy in the Azerbaijan SSR.  I believe that the Talysh are a distinct Indo-European ethnic group.  They are neither Azeris or Iranians.  To call the Talysh "South Azeris" would be like calling the Kurds "Mountain Turks" or the Ukrainians "Little Russians." -- Clevelander 14:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Problems
For Golbez: First, what is it supposed to mean "learn from NK page"? I have the same question to you too.

Second, TMR was not a "state", it was an entity or to go by it's semi-official name, autonomous republic -- it lacked everything that a state needs, from popular support (that's why it fell so easily, and in fact, never picked up from the ground despite Azerbaijan being extremely weak at the time) to state legitimacy to even basic state attributes aside for a flag (which is the easiest attribute - even football clubs have theirs).

Moreover, how and why anyone can claim here that it was supposed to be independent, and not an autonomous republic within Azerbaijan, like Naxcivan? That's what Alikram Gumbatov said many times and that's the "official" name of the "republic" - Talysh-Mughan AUTONOMOUS Republic.

Thirdly, there were several other edits, such as about the fact that it was not simple "turmoil", but civil war, and that the TMAR had tacit support from Russia and Iran. Furthermore, TMAR could never have been "reincorporated" into Azerbaijan -- it never either was recognized or de facto independent. Instead, it were several politicians and military, led by Col. Gumbatov, who made the declaration -- and several people died during that "declaration of independence". Why shoulnd't these be mentioned?

If one wants to edit anything, he or she should know what he/she is doing and what is he/she talking about. I do, and that's why I edit, and I demand the same from anyone else who edits too, much less reverts my edits. --AdilBaguirov 20:21, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I will also add the Azerbaijani flag and coat of arms which is fully warranted and appropriate as it was a self-declared autonomous republic that aimed to remain as part of Azerbaijan. --AdilBaguirov 20:23, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I have a couple of questions, Adil. If this was so, then why did the government in Baku completely dissolve it instead of leaving it as n autonomous republic, if it was one at all?  And why did they jail its leaders?  How come the Talysh people have no autonomy in Azerbaijan today?  Also, does the title "autonomous republic" autonmatically imply that the Talysh still wanted to be part of Azerbaijan?  If this is so, then why did its leaders decide to completely distance themselves from Baku?  Also if they wanted to be part of Azerbaijan then why are they members of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO)?  -- Clevelander 19:39, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Clevelander -- before we go into this complex issue, who are "they"? If you mean the Talysh people in general, then the point is that they were never represented by either Alikram Humbatov or any other ethnic Talysh wanting to be seen as the sole leader or leader of the majority. Thus, who are members of the UNPO? Just because there are a few separatists or dissenters or otherwise unhappy people among Talysh, even if they constitute double digits of the entire Talysh population, does it give you or anyone else the right to present them as the legitimate spokesmen for the Talysh ethnos? No. Talysh are well integrated into the Azerbaijani society - many businessmen, government officials, Majlis (Parliament) members, party leaders, religious leaders, etc., are Talysh. There are well over 5,000 various ethnic groups in the world -- does it mean there should be that many states? Of course not. Azerbaijan has about 70 different ethnic groups, some of them very small, hundreds or few thousand representatives. Just like Canada, USA or India for that matter, with bunch of small ethnoses.

 * Then let us not forget that there are perhaps more Talysh in Iran than in Azerbaijan -- so why no autonomy for them there? Or for Kurds, Lurs, Ahwazi, Turkmen, etc., not to mention Azerbaijanis?

 * Then, once more, the so-called TMAR was never either legitimate or popular - it was never "dissolved" per se, do you have any Azerbaijan government decrees to show its dissolution? Of course not, as there are none, since there was nothing to dissolve, there were only separatists or otherwise elements that were anti-state, who were to be dealt with, arrested. Neither could Azerbaijan "leave it as an autonomous republic" -- once again, just because a few like-minded individuals get together and cease their chance to declare something amid chaos and civil war, it doesn't make it either legitimate or real. Clevelander, imagine if a groups of Kenyans (for example) get together in your home town of Cleveland, OH (for example), and declare they foundation of a Kenyan Autonomous Republic. They also draw their flag, as well as coat of arms, structure of their government, tax rates, give themselves loud titles such as President, Speaker, Minister, etc., and then defy the orders of the police or FBI or National Guard. What would have happened to them? Judging from what happens to anyone who does such things in any Western or other strong state, they would be jailed or killed instantly on the spot. So what is the grievance with Azerbaijan? The TMAR was not an expression of the popular will -- had it been such, there would be no way for the Baku authorities to do anything at least in 1993, when Azerbaijan was at its weakest point in decades. Can you imagine if all or even 1/4 of the 200,000+ Talysh supporting this demand? I can not only imagine, but know what happens in the Caucasus when 50,000 people come at once to the streets -- Rose Revolution in Georgia is a fresh example. Hundreds of Talysh died in the hands of Armenian aggressors in Karabakh, defending the freedom and integrity of their country, Azerbaijan - why would they suddenly want to separate, or even create an autonomous entity? Maybe if you look more scrupulously at who harbors them and where, and where are all those newspapers printed, and conferences held, you would see that it is not that simple, and there are "third forces" "helping" Talysh (or others) to "better understand" their "aspirations". Anyways, once again, had such demands been legitimate and popular, and not personal ambitions and greed of certain people, there would be no way central authorities could have done anything -- Azerbaijan was simply too weak and bleeding in the early 1990s. --AdilBaguirov 13:23, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Talysh-Mughan AUTONOMOUS Republic, not just TMR
It is important to change the page's name to reflect this important term: it was a self-declared AUTONOMOUS republic that styled itself to be part of Azerbaijan, it did not want to ceede from Azerbaijan! All Talysh sources correctly attribute the term, as do authoritative English-language sources: "Alikram Gumbatov was the leader of the self-declared Talysh Mugan Autonomous Republic which existed briefly in the south of the country at a time of political instability in 1993." BBC, Why was this information omitted in Wikipedia? Who created this page and "forgot" to mention this "little detail" about it being autonomous? --AdilBaguirov 20:30, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The article was started by User:Punkmorten, an administrator (who is neither Talysh or Azeri) and most of its content, prior to your edits, was from http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/az_taly.html. -- Clevelander 19:30, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for fixing it! --AdilBaguirov 13:25, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * ...for fixing what? -- Clevelander 20:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I thought you fixed the title and added the autonomous to it, but I guess it was someone else. --AdilBaguirov 22:44, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * No, that was Grandmaster. -- Clevelander 01:37, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * "Who created this page and "forgot" to mention this "little detail" about it being autonomous?" Such a comment is not helpful in the least. Stop trying to irritate people, or find haters where none exist. --Golbez 15:46, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It would be more helpful if you were to criticize the person who created the page and omitted such a "small" detail, and not me. Irritation is not a prerogative of any one person -- I'm not very excited about having to spend time arguing about fixing glaring errors and having to explain that UN's or State Dept's word, for one, is more important than some biased author's or their websites. --AdilBaguirov 16:40, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually Talysh-Mughan (Talyshia) wanted to cede form the Republic of Azarbaijan (Arran) and many of its leaders have been jailed as seperatists or traitors to the state. International NGOs and organizations have protested their treatment, such as the Council of Europe. Here is an article about how sperartist leaders of Talysh-Mughan were let of prison; http://www.cacianalyst.org/view_article.php?articleid=2691&SMSESSION=NO . Talysh-Mughan has on several days were declared or tried to declare itself an independent republic from Baku, such as the most notable one on June, 1993.
 * <IP_ADDRESS>

Anon, not quite clear what you wanted to say by your post above -- no, neither Alikram Gumbatov nor other leaders of the TMAR wanted to ceede from Azerbaijan. There are several Russian-language admissions of this from Gumbatov himself. There is also a letter from him to the Prosecutor-General of Azerbaijan saying that he is ready to serve his lifetime sentence because he does not want to have his issue damage Azerbaijan's image and standing in the world. And Azerbaijan (and not Azarbaijan) is not Arran - that is only one of the historic provinces, located on the right bank of Kura river, and thus encompassing at best half of Azerbaijan Republic. I understand that some Iranians have trouble with understanding this reality, but these are facts. Alikram Gumbatov was charged with multiple counts, such as illegal possession of weapons, treason, attempt of coup d'etat, activity leading to death of people and abuse of authority (and he was a Colonel of the Az. Army, thus military law applied to him). International NGOs protest far more against Iran and its treatment of minorities of Iran, should I provide a few links about that? Anyways, as I said, it is unclear what you tried to say or oppose with your above post, and how it dispoves even 1% of what I wrote. Let's speak with facts and knowledge, not emotions and biases. --AdilBaguirov 18:33, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Firstly, you have just proven that you are misinformed, becuase Gumbatov was pardoned.

 * Secondly, I refer you to the report from the COuncil of Europe on the lack of democracy and mistreatment of Prisoners in the Republic of Azarbaijan, that talks about Gumbatov. It also verified that it was a Republic and not an Autonomous Republic.

 * Thirdly, he was declared primarily an enemy of the state. What for?

 * Lastley, please do not attack me, keep your comments directed towards edits and discussion not other editors. Yes, I agree with you let us speak with facts and knowledge not emotions and bias.

 * Please review your sources or do not misrepresent the facts, because Talysh-Mughan (Talyshia/Talyshistan) wanted to brake away and I have even offered one source for you. <IP_ADDRESS>

 * BBC is a more accurate source. It says that it was called autonomous republic.

 * And note the following. The leaders of this coup say that they did not want to break away from Azerbaijan:

 * However, those involved - all members of the Talysh minority - say they always envisaged the republic as a constituent part of Azerbaijan.

 * And I see no personal attack on part of Adil whatsoever. Stick to facts, and you will have no problems discussing things with other editors. Grandmaster 09:34, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

 * There is obviously a personal attack, when he brings up Iran out of no where. Please to do not lie moore than you already do GM, becuase it is uncivil and your behaviour is beginning to get very bad. By stating that he has nt made a personal attack against me you are in fact lying and anyone who reads this talk page will be aboe to see that. <IP_ADDRESS>

 * Now this is a clear personal attack. You accuse me of lying without any proof, while I clearly shown that you have very poor knowledge of the subject of this article and Adil said the same thing, which was not a personal attack, but simple statement of an obvious fact. Bringing up Iran is not a personal attack, you are not the French king Louis XIV who said that his state was him. If you think it was a personal attack, keep on bringing the issue up to various admins like you do and see what happens. Grandmaster 07:06, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Kurds
Ali, please add only relevant info to the article. Kurds have nothing to do with Talysh, and their case is not illustrative. Their autonomy was created by Stalin to promote Kurdish separatism in Turkey and Iran. Later Stalin changed his mind, abolished Kurdish autonomy and deported Kurds from Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia to Kazakhstan. Azerbaijan had absolutely nothing to do with it, and this information is not relevant to the articles about other ethnic groups, such as Azerbaijanis, Talysh, etc. If you need sources on this, I can provide them. You know that I always do. Grandmaster 10:18, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

 * The many people in the republic of Azerbaijan were forefully assimilated during the USSR era. is not irrelevant in general. Then it talks about Kurds.  According to a good variety of sources, the republic of Azerbaijan writes down Talysh as Azeris in their card.. Of course I did not want to write about such issues but unfortunately some people lately have done similar things with Iran related topics.  --alidoostzadeh 10:43, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Soviet bureaucracy favored bigger ethnicities and tried to merge small ethnic groups with bigger ones. It was envisaged that the smaller groups would merge with bigger ones, and bigger ones would form a new Soviet nation. Such policy was implemented not only in Azerbaijan, but in other regions of former USSR, such as Russia, or Central Asia (Tajikistan, for example). As for Kurds, here’s an interesting article in a Russian newspaper. It describes how USSR was promoting Kurdish separatism in Turkey and Iran. It also describes the short-lived Kurdish autonomy in Azerbaijan, which was created and then eliminated by the Soviet authorities. I also don’t want to focus on negative info, but you see what’s going with Azerbaijan related articles for quite some time now. Some people are not happy that we manage to overcome our differences and try to make the articles the source of accurate info. Grandmaster 11:07, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

 * That is in interesting article.. Of course the policy of USSR was to promote separatism when it was in its interest.. pretty much unfortunately like many governments of the region.  --alidoostzadeh 08:28, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

COE
That is selective quoting. The source is talking about the Framework Convention adopted by Azerbaijan, but goes on to say:

-''The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and its consequences have considerably hampered efforts to implement the Framework Convention. Despite the general spirit of tolerance in Azerbaijan, the continued occupation of large parts of Azerbaijani territory and the displacement of a high number of people have caused tensions which have resulted in disconcerting manifestations of intolerance. It is to be hoped that a lasting and peaceful solution to the existing conflict will be found and that efforts to that effect will be accelerated. The eventual solution should protect the rights of all persons concerned, in conformity with the territorial integrity of the country and other principles of international law;

- ''Certain general human rights issues - including concerns as regards freedom of expression and the process of registration of non-governmental organisations - have an impact also on the protection of national minorities and need to be addressed by the authorities as a matter of priority;

- ''Despite certain positive legislative initiatives, there are a number of shortcomings in the legislation pertaining to the implementation of the Framework Convention. The 2002 Law on the State Language contains regrettable reductions in the legal guarantees relating to the protection of national minorities. These put at risk, for example, certain commendable practices in the field of electronic media. The process of amending the said law should be pursued further with a view to making it compatible with the Framework Convention;

- ''There is a need to couple the Law on the State Language with improved legal guarantees for the protection of national minorities in such fields as minority language education and use of minority languages in relations with administrative authorities, with a view to consolidating and expanding the positive practices that exist. Priority should be given to the adoption of a new law on the protection of national minorities, providing the necessary guarantees for the implementation of the relevant minority language standards; ''

 * The quote is not selective. It provides information with regard to the situation with ethnic minorities in Azerbaijan. Instead of removing referenced info, which is a violation of wiki rules, you can add info that you consider appropriate for the article. Grandmaster 04:27, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Ok then, we will just elaborate on the quote from the same source.Azerbaijani 18:20, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
