Completely redundant template for a rapper with a few singles to his names; all the links in it are already in the article itself. What we have here is fairly typical K-pop template porn: the article for this Bobby, who's been active for maybe a year, has three templates, and it's hard to imagine a valid use for this template outside of this particular article.

Template:Infobox Russian city district

The result of the discussion was no consensus Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 15:16, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Infobox Russian city district

Unnecessary and unused wrapper of Infobox Russian district (I Subst: the only five uses). Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:38, 28 December 2014 (UTC) Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:38, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Since it was already used in five articles, it can't possibly be considered "unused". As for "unnecessary", there are several hundred city districts in Russia, all of which will ultimately have articles (and use this infobox). The wrapper was created to make using the main district template easier, with its main purpose being the filtration of accidental usage of inapplicable parameters. There is also plenty of potential for adding city district-specific fields (which would not be applicable in the main district template). Test-driving the wrapper in the five articles from which it was so unhelpfully removed is (as it should have been) the first step in the wrapper development.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); December 29, 2014 ; 14:24 (UTC)
 * It is unused, as explained above. It is unnecessary, as the replacement of every instance of it with something that looks identical shows. The existence of hundreds of articles which do not use it are not a reason to keep it, as they can each use the more generic template which it wraps. We never need to create wrappers for "the filtration of accidental usage of inapplicable parameters"; not least because if that is desirable, it can be done by adding a switch to the generic template. And please don't conduct "test drives" in article space. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:02, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Repeating statements unsupported by evidence does not make them any more convincing, I'm afraid. That aside, I do take testing seriously. Test driving an otherwise functional wrapper (one that went through preliminary testing) to catch possible bugs in production is a normal practice, especially if it is contained to only a handful of articles, as was the case here. The absence of any such bugs (as is the case here) indicates that the wrapper can safely be deployed in other articles. As for filtering inapplicable parameters, you must have never had the "pleasure" of cleaning up hundreds of incorrectly filled out instances of a bloaty mess like Infobox settlement, which, by the way, itself has dozens of wrappers whose purpose is, among other things, to suppress inapplicable parameters. I don't see how this situation is different. Nearly all instances of Infobox settlement's wrappers can be replaced with the generic template; is it your belief that they all should go as well? One can pile up various switches in the main template, sure, but that just leads to bloating the main code and makes it harder for people with limited template editing experience to parse, understand, and/or add to, and it also makes it more difficult for people with extensive template editing experience to do maintenance and debugging. As long as the wrapper has a well-defined, distinct purpose (as, again, is the case here), there is little reason to oppose its existence. You surely haven't provided any, apart from the wrapper being "unused" (with your help, no less) and "unnecessary" (for the vague reasons that don't hold). Not cool.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); December 29, 2014 ; 16:42 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you could point to the wrappers of Infobox settlement which, you suppose, exist to surpress parameters, rather than to pre-populate the template? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:09, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I never said those wrappers "exist to suppress parameters"; merely that it is a part of their functionality, or perhaps a beneficial side effect.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); December 29, 2014 ; 17:50 (UTC)
 * Keep, is in use and has potential for further usage.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:50, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete, no longer in use, Andy has shown that it is unnecessary. It is very difficult to see how "filtration of accidental usage of inapplicable parameters" is a good reason for creating or keeping a template. Appropriate copy-and-paste template syntax examples for each usage type (similar to Template:Infobox settlement) can be provided on the template documentation page. — This, that and the other (talk) 10:48, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * For the record: It is in use.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:39, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * In one article; that is true. But I don't think that undermines my argument much. — This, that and the other (talk) 00:34, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It was used in five articles before. Someone (I guess Andy) removed it during the nomination. It is great that Andy (who btw is restricted by the Arbcom in many issues concerning the infoboxes) showed that the template can be removed altogether and replaced by a generic infobox. This is correct for almost every template. However, this is not Andy who writes articles about Russian city districts. This is Ezhiki and I who write them and add the templates. And we find it way more convenient to use the custom infobox with ten fields and not the generic infobox where out of fifty lines thirty do not apply to Russian city districts at all, ten more are prefilled with standard information, and ten more (which need to be found) finally do the job.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:48, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * If you believe that I have breached an arbcom restriction, please report that in the appropriate place, which is not here; otherwise, you are just making an irrelevant ad hominem attack. I replaced the few instances of the template, using Substitutuon before, not during this nomination; and in doing so demonstrated unequivocally that it is utterly redundant. That I was able to do so is not evidence that it is reasonable to do that "for almost every template", since most, unlike this one, are not pointless wrappers of anther template, much less for a duplicate subject-specific infobox. Your reverting one of this substitutions does nothing to refute that. The authorship of the individual articles which use the infobox is not relevant; and such logically-fallacious argument to from authority smacks of Ownership. Your convenience can be assuaged by you having a blank (or part-complete) proforma in your user space; like I do for other templates in my user space, without placing a burden on the wider editing community. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:38, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * How exactly is it "a duplicate subject-specific infobox"? Are you saying that simply because you saw the word "district" used in both templates? That a subset of similar terminology can be used to describe Russian districts and city districts does not make the two concepts "duplicate". It is fortunate that we can make a simple wrapper around the district template to deal with city districts but it does not at all mean they are the same. I also find your ownership accusations unfortunate. We have two editors here who know and appreciate the benefits of this wrapper because they happen to use it and do a lot of work in this subject area. You, with all due respect, know nothing of the subject yet find no problem dictating the content creators which tools they should or should not be using. This is simply sad.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); January 8, 2015 ; 13:07 (UTC)
 * What was I saying, about "such logically-fallacious argument from authority"? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:00, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * question where is the list of articles which were transcluding it before it was orphaned? Frietjes (talk) 00:01, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Tsentralny City District, Sochi, Adlersky City District, Lazarevsky City District, Khostinsky City District, and one more which I do not remember.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:06, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

This was a really cool idea when it was first written, but the introduction of mw:Extension:TemplateSandbox has made it obsolete.

It is also possible to preview what a sandbox template would look like on a page by using User:Jackmcbarn/advancedtemplatesandbox.js.

 * Esoteric file

If it's in scope for Wikipedia, it's in scope for Commons. In essence, this seems to be a request to keep local due to the author's preferences, which makes it redundant to Template:Keep local and Template:Do not move to Commons.

Specifically, this could be accomplished via. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 00:21, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Addendum: if we delete, we should replace the file with the Do not move to Commons equivalent. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 00:25, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. See this and this for the discussions that led to this template's creation. The point of the template isn't to honor the author's preference, but to categorize certain types of files as being unhelpful to move to commons. At the time, do not move to Commons contained a default message about legal issues, so it didn't fulfill this purpose. With its recent change to a blank rationale the tagger would have to fill in, it could fulfill the purpose of esoteric file, but with the many files falling into this category, I think a separate tag that doesn't require filling in that message would be preferred. equazcion   →  00:31, 28 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Also see userspace file which is similar. --Stefan2 (talk) 00:43, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as redundant. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:32, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
 * This template does not seem to serve the same purpose as Do not move to Commons. Do not move to Commons is used to tell that a file probably doesn't satisfy c:COM:L, but this template seems to mean that the file meets all criteria for a Commons file but that moving it there should be of low priority. Do not move to Commons also exempts the file from WP:CSD, but I am not sure if this template comes with the same exemption. --Stefan2 (talk) 21:08, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. This kind of thing fits somewhere in between Do not move to Commons and Keep local.  It basically says "While this is allowed on Commons, it wouldn't be appropriate there, so please don't move it".  This kind of template belongs on images such as File:Jefferson PA municipalities without photos.png, a tracking image that only appears in my userspace; nobody's going to use it elsewhere, and since it should be speedy deleted at some point (explanation will be given if you want it), moving it to Commons would necessitate an unnecessary deletion debate at some point, since they're less open to uploader-requested speedy deletions than we are.  I would support a merger with userspace file, merging that one into this, because this one is also appropriate for non-userspace images.  For an example, see File:Ohio Counties for Stubs.png: when sorting Ohio stubs, we divided the state into several regions and colored the different regions separately, since it makes for simpler descriptions at pages such as Category:Appalachian Ohio school stubs.  Since we used some semi-arbitrary boundaries, the map isn't really useful for any purpose other than Wikipedia stub-sorting, so it shouldn't be moved to Commons.  All of this assumes that the file won't be useful elsewhere.  If someone uploads it to Commons anyway and uses it at some other project's page, we shouldn't complain.  Nyttend (talk) 00:23, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep as wrapper , and perhaps merge userspace file into this one —PC-XT+ 03:50, 4 January 2015 (UTC) 00:24, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: I've seen too many files copied to Commons and then nominated for deletion there without the knowledge of the original uploader to have any faith in the system of moving files from enwp to Commons just because they may be in scope of Commons. This template is clear in its purpose: to indicate that a file has little or no value outside of enwp. Although "userspace files" may be one reason, I have sometimes uploaded screenshots of a part of a page to illustrate a point in article talk. Such screenshots are essential to an understanding of the debate for future reference, but are worthless outside of enwp. I am certainly not going to log onto Commons just to make sure that such files don't get deleted when I can simply carry them on my watchlist here. This template makes life easier for may editors who don't use Commons much and deleting it would cause a net loss to the project. --RexxS (talk) 20:26, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per Nyttend. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:08, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per RexxS. Giano    (talk) 08:08, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge: Clearly a need.  Montanabw (talk)  08:30, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Question: Why do we need:

when we can do:

using Do not move to Commons? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:06, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Convert to wrapper. As shown in the the comparison above, Do not move to commons can fulfill the exact same function. Also as shown in the above comparison, that's a lot of boilerplate text. If we make Esoteric file a wrapper with the pre-filled reason, I believe we can have the best of both worlds. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 10:53, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * That would more clearly exempt from WP:CSD, as well. I'll support that. —PC-XT+ 12:47, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Why would you want to add an F8 exemption to these files? It seems that the uploader only recommends people not to move the file to Commons but that the uploader does not object to deleting the file if it nevertheless has been copied there. If the uploader wouldn't want the file deleted here, the uploader would have used keep local, which is directly designed to be a WP:OWN violation, instead of this template. --Stefan2 (talk) 22:09, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, you're right. It would be more clear, but in the wrong direction. I can no longer support confusion of Do not move to Commons with this template, because it would be better deleted, so I revert to my original !vote. —PC-XT+ 00:24, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Your !vote, as amended, contradicts this statement. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:32, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I was relying on Stefan2's comments for meaning. Let me explain better: This template appears to be a notice that the file probably won't be useful to other projects, but if it is, it can still be moved to commons and deleted here. As long as this template is not found to explicitly exempt from CSD F8 in any way, we should not merge with Do not move to Commons. Deleting this template would be better than trying to shoehorn it into another template. Both would cause loss of this functionality, so I won't support either. —PC-XT+ 22:14, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * WP:CSD#F8 would be reworded accordingly. There is no semantic difference between "This [...] file should not be copied to Wikimedia Commons." and "Do not copy this file to Wikimedia Commons." (and neither is binding in any case). Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:32, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep It serves a specific purpose (the Guild of Copy Editors uses it frequently for housekeeping), and the similar tags are often ignored or misunderstood.  Mini  apolis  19:09, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Why does the Do not move to Commons version, above, not serve that purpose? In what way are "similar tags often ignored or misunderstood"? nd, for that matter, why are the Guild of Copy Editors (a WikiProject concerned with prose quality) interested in the location of image files? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:37, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
 * As I said, the GOCE uses the tag for housekeeping (periodic screenshots of the Copy edit backlog) and it would be inappropriate to move the files to Commons. This tag is specific enough to prevent misunderstanding.  Mini  apolis  03:40, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you. However, I also asked: "Why does the Do not move to Commons version, above, not serve that purpose? In what way are 'similar tags often ignored or misunderstood'?". Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:39, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Brandon Fernandes

Brandon Fernandes (born 20 September 1994) is an Indian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Indian Super League club Mumbai City and the India national team.

Early career
Born in Margao, Goa, Fernandes started playing competitive football at age six when his parents got him into the youth set-up at Fransa-Pax. After Fransa-Pax disbanded, he moved to the youth set-up at Velsao Pale Sports Club where he played for the club's under-14 side as an eight year old. After spending time with Velsao Pale, Fernandes moved to the Goa United Football Academy before being signed by Salgaocar to join their under-14 side. During his time at Salgaocar, he represented the team at the under-14, under-16, and under-19 levels.

After impressive performances for both Salgaocar and the India under-20 side, Brandon was enrolled into the ASD Football Academy in Cape Town, South Africa. While with ASD, Fernandes attracted many scouts from around Europe resulting in trials from three English clubs, Leicester City, Reading, and Sunderland, but could not earn a contract at any of those clubs. Fernandes also played for the ASD Cape Town team in the SAFA Second Division, the third-tier of South African football, where he managed to score 12 goals from 12 matches, 4 of which were free-kicks.

Before playing in the Lusophony Games in 2014, Fernandes was supposed to go on trial with AS Monaco but the trials never materialized. After impressing for Goa during the 2014 Lusophony Games, he rejected offers from seven different I-League clubs, stating that he would like to wait for an offer from a European club.

Sporting Goa
A year after his contract with ASD Cape Town expired, and after saying in the past that he would not play in the I-League, Fernandes returned to India to sign for Sporting Goa. He made his professional debut for the club on 8 February 2015 against Mumbai at the Cooperage Ground, starting the match and playing 23 minutes before being substituted off due to an injury as Sporting Goa drew the match 0–0. he returned from injury to make his second appearance for Sporting Goa against Royal Wahingdoh, coming on as a 68th-minute substitute for Anthony Wolfe, and was booked as Sporting drew 0–0. Brandon scored his first senior professional goal against Salgaocar on 19 April 2015 in a 2–0 win for Sporting Goa

Fernandes then put in a man of the match performance over Bharat on 2 May 2015. Pressuring the Bharat defense throughout his 88 minutes on the pitch, he scored from a free-kick in the 42nd minute to help Sporting Goa win 2–0, their second victory of the season entering the final month of the campaign. After the match, Fernandes was praised by Sporting Goa head coach, Mateus Costa, when he said that "Since Brandon joined our squad, things have really changed. He is very good on the wing and we were lacking that kind of a player. He is also a free-kick specialist and the goal that he scored today was beautiful".

Fernandes then scored another well struck goal on 20 May 2015 against Shillong Lajong. Pouncing on a mistake by Shillong Lajong goalkeeper, Rehenesh TP, in which the keeper miss kicked his clearance, Brandon slotted the ball into the net from more than 30 yards out. Sporting Goa went on to win 2–1. He assisted Sandesh Jhingan in the final round of the season, from a corner, in an eventual 4–0 win for his team, thus helping confirming the status of his team in the top flight for the next I-League season.

Mumbai City
Brandon was picked up in the 2015 Indian Super League draft by Mumbai City during the first round for Rs. 12 lakhs. Having missed the first 7 rounds of the 2015 Indian Super League season through injury, Brandon made his debut against Delhi Dynamos in round 8, coming on as a substitute in a 1–1 draw for his team. On his first start for Mumbai City, which was his second appearance of the season, Brandon was injured and ruled out of the season.

Mohun Bagan (loan)
On 6 January 2016 it was announced that Brandon has signed for reigning I-League champions Mohun Bagan on loan from Mumbai City. He made his debut for Mohun Bagan on 30 January 2016 against DSK Shivajians. He played 60 minutes as Mohun Bagan won the match 2–0. He scored his first goal for the club a month later on 1 March against Sporting Goa. His strike came in the 28th minute but Fernandes had to be taken off the pitch four minutes later due to a knee injury. It was later revealed that Fernandes would most likely require surgery on his knee.

Churchill Brothers
Brandon signed for the newly re-instated I-League club Churchill Brothers for the 2016-17 I-League season. After missing out on large portions of the previous two years through injury, Brandon would have a very active season as he appeared 15 times in the league for Churchill where he would score 3 goals and would finish as the highest provider of assists with 7 assists. The high point of his season would be the game against Chennai City where he would assist 4 times and score once in a 6–1 win for his team. He would also play in the Federation Cup but could not help his team qualify for the semi-finals.

Goa
Fernandes was drafted in by Goa for the 2017–18 Indian Super League season at a cost of ₹2,750,000. He would play 15 times for his club and provide 4 assists during the season in the league, and score twice in the Super Cup as Goa was eliminated by East Bengal in the cup competition. On 24 January 2018, he signed a new contract with FC Goa, keeping him at the club until 2020.

During the 2018–19 season, Brandon was an integral part of the Sergio Lobera's system, playing primarily on the left side of midfield as his team finished second the league on head-to-head ruling. Goa would be defeated in the play-off final by Bengaluru as he ended the season with 3 goals and 4 assists. He was also part of Goa's 2019 Super Cup winning team, where he scored thrice in the competition, including the final.

Fernandes continued with Goa for the 2019–20 season, primarily on the left side of midfield as Hugo Boumous moved to the attacking midfielder role to play behind Coro. He scored twice and assist 7 times in 17 appearances in the season, finishing as the highest assisting Indian player in the league once again.

2020–2021
On 10 April 2021, Fernandes signed a new three-year contract with Goa, keeping him at the club until 2024. On 20 April 2021, Fernandes assisted Edu Bedia to score the first ever goal by an Indian club in the AFC Champions League's group stage, despite his team losing the game against Persepolis. On 26 April 2021, Fernandes again assisted Ortiz for a 1–1 draw in their last AFC Champions League game against Qatari club Al Rayyan.

Return to Mumbai City
On 1 June 2024, Fernandes joined Mumbai City on a three-year contract, with an option to extend by a further season.

International career

Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China

Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China is a 2011 biography about Deng Xiaoping written by Ezra F. Vogel and published by The Belknap Press/Harvard University Press.

Translations
In May 2012 the Chinese University Press of Hong Kong published the first Chinese translation, unabridged, with versions using both Traditional and Simplified characters. In January 2013 Sanlian Publishing House published a Simplified Chinese version for Mainland China. The Mainland version was adopted from the Hong Kong translation, but was subject several minor changes due to censorship; most of the changes were centered on negative descriptions or adjectives describing Chinese leaders.

Publication and reception
The initial reviews praised Vogel's book as detailed and well-grounded, generally favorable, but not without criticism. Jonathan Mirsky of The New York Times described the book as "wide-ranging" and wrote that the coverage of Deng's changes to the Chinese economy is the "most valuable part of" the book. John Knight, a PhD candidate stated that the book "provides much insight into" Deng and that "for those interested in learning more about China's present, Vogel's study is a delightful read." Reviewers also mentioned controversial points. John Pomfret wrote in The Washington Post that Vogel "clearly believes that Deng — known in the West mostly for engineering the slaughter of protesters in the streets near Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989 — has been wronged by history. His tome is an attempt to redress the balance."

In the London Review of Books, Perry Anderson sharply criticized Vogel as "a booster" and the book as "an exercise in unabashed adulation" in which "anything in Deng’s career that might seriously mar the general encomium is sponged away", noting how "Vogel devotes just 30 pages, out of nearly 900, to the first 65 years of Deng’s life". He also critiqued the book for exaggerating the significance of certain events, such as Deng’s "universally forgotten" 1974 speech at the United Nations.

As of 2020, the Mainland Chinese version sold 1,200,000 copies, while the U.S. version sold 45,000 hard copies and 9,400 ebooks.

The book received the Lionel Gelber Prize, a literary award for excellency in literature related to foreign policy.

Talk:David Seals

Untitled
I'm glad I checked the history here. This article was better a few edits ago. -  Kathryn NicDhàna  ♫ ♦ ♫ 05:40, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Category Tags?
According to ethnicity references in this article's footnotes and links, David Seals should be tagged in Categories: "Native American writers"; "Wyandot people"; "Cheyenne tribe". But in the current article body as Seals himself has left it, all claims of Native American status are absent; he is merely an "American Poet". What gives? Should we tag him or not? {Added note: To save later typing, I inserted the Categories in "commented" mode pending discussion. If approved, simply decomment; if disapproved, simply delete.} PhilbertB (talk) 19:00, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Looking through the history, it was an IP editor who removed some of the sources:, and then the reference to Native American subject matter in the authors' works: . -  Kathryn NicDhàna  ♫ ♦ ♫ 01:58, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Followup: upon Googling, found doubts expressed on Net about the ethnic authenticity of this subject. Help Wanted from wiser heads. PhilbertB (talk) 01:51, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Unless I missed something, no claim has been made in the article or cats as to ethnicity, aside from your suggestion to add them. If you want to add statements of ethnicity to the article, the burden is upon the one adding the statements to source them. -  Kathryn NicDhàna  ♫ ♦ ♫ 02:09, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Ethnicity references in the article: (1) "Seals' essays have appeared in... Genocide of the Mind " (footnote shows the subtitle is New Native American Writing), implying Seals is Native American. (2) External Link: "David Seals at Native American Authors Project", same implication in the very title; the linked site itself states that he is Huron, which for Wikipedia Category purposes would be tagged "Wyandot". (3) External Link: "David Seals at Phoenix Examiner", linked site's "My Bio" refers to "his Huron-Cheyenne heritage". So, yes, you missed something, but the question remains, can any of it be trusted? PhilbertB (talk) 07:06, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Genocide of the Mind: "Native American Writing" doesn't indicate what sort of ethnicity, BQ or enrollment, if any, is a requirement for inclusion. Not having the book at hand, I wouldn't presume to interpret how the editors and publishers are defining "Native American Writing".
 * The Native American Authors Project is not a suitable source for biographical data. There are too many entries on that site that have misinformation. However, I consider it usable as a simple list of published works, as that can be confirmed elsewhere. Given the flawed nature of the site, it would be better to find a concise list of publications on another site, if a non-commercial one exists.
 * The Examiner Bio seems more likely an accurate statement from the author, as the author defines himself, as I assume he wrote the bio himself. The statement "Huron-Cheyenne heritage", as well as his statements in the Examiner articles of having "Cheyenne relatives", doesn't necessarily indicate ethnicity or enrollment status.
 * It is not required for WP:BLPs to list ethnicity. I have no attachment to whether it's listed or not. -  Kathryn NicDhàna  ♫ ♦ ♫ 22:57, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Then "When in doubt, leave it out." Or at least leave it commented out, unless it should just be deleted to reduce clutter. (My thought is, if in future the issue is clearly resolved in the affirmative, the tags could still be decommented.) PhilbertB (talk) 23:25, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

As the author says "heritage", perhaps this would be the better category. -  Kathryn NicDhàna  ♫ ♦ ♫ 21:35, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

One-Source Bio Material?
Certain events in this subject's life may be described only in his own "family memoir", Abduction at Roswell. Of the two possible problems using that material, copyright and verifiability (against another source), I think verifiability might be the greater issue. Seals posted a summary blurb here:. Perhaps credibility would be the better word. I don't think we can just take the subject's own uncorroborated word for all that, can we? And... frankly, it raises the question of how much else to take his word for. PhilbertB (talk) 21:50, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * As in any Bio of a living person, and in WP:RS and WP:V, uncontroversial material may be sourced from an author's own statements. If a claim seems controversial, it can be cited for better sourcing, and cut if no WP:V/WP:RS source exists. Unless I missed something, I don't see much of anything in here that looks to be sourced to the Roswell book. "Memoir" leaves room for a certain degree of novelization not inherent in a strict Bio or Autobio. I haven't read the Roswell book, but being familiar with the author's humorous fiction, as well as looking at a description of the Roswell memoir, I am bearing in mind that it may not be intended as a strict autobio. -  Kathryn NicDhàna  ♫ ♦ ♫ 02:05, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Rumours of his death...
Are only rumours until we have a solid source. If someone wants to confirm off-wiki, you can contact me or another admin. Or you can post a link here to any place where a family member or credible close friend has announced it, even if it's not a source we can use in the article. But if people just keep adding unsourced stuff about him being dead, we will have to lock down the article on the chance it's a hoax. I have no wish to cause distress to anyone, but until we confirm what the truth is, I don't want people edit-warring. Thanks. (And my condolences to his loved ones if this is true.) - Co rb ie V    ☊ ☼ 01:02, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

OK, apparently Seals' son has mentioned in a Facebook post that his dad has died. It's not a formal announcement, so there isn't anything that would be appropriate to link to. Though we don't have a WP:RS source yet, I'm not going to revert anyone who adds it. I assume anyone who adds it at this point are friends or family. If you're reading this, just add a link to the formal announcement when one is published. And again, sorry for your loss. - Co rb ie V    ☊ ☼ 01:13, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Plot
It would be excellent if you could help me improve the translation of the plot. My level of English is not very advanced.-- Bradford (Talk) 17:19, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Episodes
I think it would be better to place the total of episodes that Netflix shows, since as things are going, I do not think that Univision will broadcast the 38 episodes.-- Bradford    ✉   16:41, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
 * How are you sure that Univision won't broadcast the 38 episodes? —Telenovelafan215 (talk) 22:32, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Because the audience has been declining, we also need to see if the episodes that Netflix shows are the same as those shown by Univision.-- Bradford    ✉   22:38, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
 * It is too soon to assume that the audience will continue to decline. It has aired for only one week. Maybe wait a few more weeks to see if the audience will grow or decline.—Telenovelafan215 (talk) 22:56, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Also Episodes 1-5 are the same on Netflix and Univision.—Telenovelafan215 (talk) 23:27, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, for now we can only wait. But in case Univision does not transmit the 38 episodes, I will proceed to put Netflix as the original broadcast, which will give a total of 38 episodes, ignoring those that Univision broadcast, but that can be mentioned in the article, in case it happens what I said before. Although it is also a bit predictable that the series consists of 38 episodes, perhaps Netflix has only released part 1, and then put the other episodes. But that is also speculative, they haven't even said anything.-- Bradford    ✉   00:58, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Gabby (film series)

Gabby is a short-lived Max Fleischer animated cartoon series distributed through Paramount Pictures. Gabby debuted as the town crier in the 1939 animated feature Gulliver’s Travels produced by Fleischer. Shortly afterward, Paramount and Fleischer gave Gabby his own Technicolor spinoff cartoon series, eight entries of which were produced between 1940 and 1941. Gabby was voiced by Pinto Colvig, the voice of Walt Disney's Goofy, and Grumpy and Sleepy from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Jack Mercer (the voice of Popeye and King Little, Sneak, Snoop, Snitch, and Twinkle Toes in Gulliver’s Travels) was regularly cast alongside Colvig, as either a king, mayor, snitch, fish, castle worker, fire fighter, or sometimes even as Gabby's humming.

The Gabby cartoons were sold to U.M. & M. TV Corporation in 1955, which later became part of National Telefilm Associates, which became Republic Pictures, and was then sold to Paramount's current parent ViacomCBS (now currently renamed and rebranded as Paramount Global) in 1999. Today, the Gabby cartoons are in the public domain. For official releases, the cartoons are currently syndicated on television by Trifecta Entertainment & Media (inherited from CBS Television Distribution and other companies), original distributor Paramount owns the theatrical rights, and Olive Films owns the DVD rights. However, most Gabby cartoons can be found in faded public domain television prints, usually featuring National Telefilm Associates openings.

Geometry/Points, Lines, Line Segments and Rays

1.1: Points, Lines, Line Segments, and Rays

Points and lines are two of the most fundamental concepts in Geometry, but they are also the most difficult to define. We can describe intuitively their characteristics, but there is no set definition for them: they, along with the plane, are the undefined terms of geometry. All other geometric definitions and concepts are built on the undefined ideas of the point, line and plane. Nevertheless, we shall try to define them.

Point
A point is an exact location in space. A point is denoted by a dot. A point has no size.

Line
As for a line segment, we specify a line with two endpoints. Starting with the corresponding line segment, we find other line segments that share at least two points with the original line segment. In this way we extend the original line segment indefinitely. The set of all possible line segments findable in this way constitutes a line. A line extends indefinitely in a single dimension. Its length, having no limit, is infinite. Like the line segments that constitute it, it has no width or height. You may specify a line by specifying any two points within the line. For any two points, only one line passes through both points. On the other hand, an unlimited number of lines pass through any single point.

Ray
We construct a ray similarly to the way we constructed a line, but we extend the line segment beyond only one of the original two points. A ray extends indefinitely in one direction, but ends at a single point in the other direction. That point is called the end-point of the ray. Note that a line segment has two end-points, a ray one, and a line none. An angle can be formed when two rays meet at a common point. The rays are the sides of the angle. The point of the end of two rays is called the vertex.

Plane
A point exists in zero dimensions. A line exists in one dimension, and we specify a line with two points. A plane exists in two dimensions. We specify a plane with three points. Any two of the points specify a line. All possible lines that pass through the third point and any point in the line make up a plane. In more obvious language, a plane is a flat surface that extends indefinitely in its two dimensions, length and width. A plane has no height.

Space
Space exists in three dimensions. Space is made up of all possible planes, lines, and points. It extends indefinitely in all directions.

N-dimensional Space
Mathematics can extend space beyond the three dimensions of length, width, and height. We then refer to "normal" space as 3-dimensional space. A 4-dimensional space consists of an infinite number of 3-dimensional spaces. Etc.

Conceptual Questions
 Problem 1.1 (Geometry in Real Life) Give the geometric term(s) that is best modeled by each.

a. The location of San Francisco, California b. The surface of a chalkboard c. The tip of a pencil d. A piano chord e. The edge of a desk f. A knot in a rope g. A telephone pole h. Two connected walls i. A partially opened folder

 Problem 1.2 (Name the Plane) Use the appropriate notation to name the following plane in two different ways.

 Problem 1.3 (Name the Line) Use the appropriate notation to name the following line in five different ways.

Ngulu (weapon)

A Ngulu is an execution sword used by the Bantu peoples (including the Ngombe, Doko, Ngala, etc.) of the Congo Basin.

Uses
It resembles the Khopesh, the sickle-sword of ancient Egypt, except that it has a much more massive blade, made of iron, with a non-cutting back and a semi-circular concavity. The handle, often surrounded by metal wire, ended with two large wooden buttons and a smaller one. It could be one or two blades and was used for capital executions by beheading (the condemned was kept seated, head extended and attached to a branch). : ''This design was selected for cult and execution knives. A knife was created which symbolized the inexorableness on the judgment and execution. This execution knife became a symbol of power and, in a few variations became a ceremonial knife for tribal chieftains. At executions, the condemned man was tied to the ground with ropes and poles. His head was fastened with leather straps to a bent tree branch. In this way it was ensured that the man's neck would remain stretched. After the decapitation, the head would be automatically catapulted far away.''

History
The Ngulu beheading was forbidden by the Belgians during the Free State of Congo period (1885-1908). The weapon, deprived of its function, took an even stronger symbolic and ceremonial value. From the 20th century, the Ngulu was worn during the ritual dance known as Likbeti, at the end of which the weapon was used to decapitate a goat whose flesh was then consumed by the whole tribe.

Tax Anti-Injunction Act

The Tax Anti-Injunction Act, currently codified at, is a United States federal law originally enacted in 1867. The statute provides that with 14 specified exceptions, "no suit for the purpose of restraining the assessment or collection of any tax shall be maintained in any court by any person, whether or not such person is the person against whom such tax was assessed".

History
The Anti-Injunction Act was originally enacted as, § 10. The modern equivalent was enacted on August 16, 1954, as section 7421(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (now the 1986 Code).

Analysis
This rule is related to the Flora full payment rule, based in part on the United States Supreme Court decision in Flora v. United States, essentially requiring that in most cases a person resisting the assessment of a U.S. federal tax must first pay the full amount of tax asserted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and then file a formal administrative claim for refund with the IRS.

As a general rule, the courts will not entertain a suit to enjoin (or stop) the government from assessing the tax but will entertain a suit for a tax refund after the IRS has denied the refund claim, or 6 months have elapsed (120 days in bankruptcy cases) since the filing of the claim, whichever is earlier.

For the exception allowing litigation without first paying the tax in bankruptcy cases, see. For income taxes and certain other taxes, the taxpayer may also litigate the tax in the United States Tax Court prior to assessment without first paying the tax.

Impact
In the case of National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, in which the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was at issue, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the mandate imposed under that law. The Court also determined the applicability of the Tax Anti-Injunction Act to the litigation over the law. The Court held that the individual mandate in that statute (codified in Internal Revenue Code section 5000A as a "penalty") does not fall under the Tax Anti-Injunction Act, on the rationale that Congress specifically labeled consequences of the mandate as a "penalty" rather than a "tax", whereas other portions of the Act were labeled as a "tax". The Court also ruled that the nature of the mandate does not preclude the federal courts from hearing the case before a prospective plaintiff has paid such a penalty to the Internal Revenue Service in the year 2015. In this case, the mandate was ruled to be constitutional as a valid exercise of the congressional taxing power.

Public Square Historic District (Sigourney, Iowa)

The Public Square Historic District in Sigourney, Iowa, United States is a 11.9 acre historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The listing included 41 contributing buildings, a contributing structure, and two contributing objects. The district includes work by architects Wetherell & Gage.

The district largely includes commercial buildings that surround the 1911 Keokuk County Courthouse, which is separately listed on the National Register. For the most part the buildings are one or two-story brick structures. Two of the building are three stories. Initially, the buildings built around the square were all wood-frame construction. After the Civil War brick buildings began to replace them, with 1876 being a prominent year for new construction. The change from wood to brick structures continued into the 20th century. There are also two other civic buildings in the district, Memorial Hall (1923; Sigourney City Hall and auditorium), and the post office (1938). Both of these buildings are located just off of the square proper. The contributing structure is a bandstand, and contributing objects are a fountain, and a Civil War Monument. All three are located on the courthouse grounds.

Electrodynamics

This book is going to cover the topic of electrodynamics using vector calculus. We will provide a brief refresher to the topics of vector calculus, but this book does not intend to teach that topic to students who do not have any background in it. For more information about calculus and vector calculus topics, see Calculus and Linear Algebra. Because this book is part of a series of books on Modern Physics, the reader is assumed to have a background in relativity theory, or to be able to concurrently read the Special Relativity book.

This book is going to discuss the electric and magnetic fields and forces, and related subjects. It is intended to be read by advanced undergraduates in the field of physics or engineering.

Wikipedia talk:Recent changes patrol/Archives/2019/June

Suggested improvement: Clicking 'diff' automatically opens contents in a new window
It would save an immense amount of clicking (or fumbling with a mobile screen) if clicking/tapping 'Diff' at Special:RecentChanges automatically opened the contents in a new tab or window, rather than requiring the user to command this.

This is how the WP:NPP feed page operates, and would be a very welcome enhancement. I cannot think of a single situation where I've wanted to check a diff for vandalism and leave the Recent changes feed at the same time, but this happens all the time with a mobile. Quite often, the time it takes to right mouse click and select 'open in a new tab' on my laptop means the live feed has updated, so I end up selecting the wrong row. I imagine this would be a simple fix to implement, but a most welcome one. Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 08:17, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
 * , should probably be added to MediaWiki core software, but until that happens, use User:SD0001/RC-links-new-tab.js. I think it would be ideal to have all links on the changes list (diff, hist, article, creator talk, contribs) open in a new tab? If not, tell me. SD0001 (talk) 20:54, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for doing this. I will give your script a try out very soon. I completely agree with you that it makes sense to have all the links opening as a new tab, not just the diff. I guess I said that simply because that's the one I use, and not the others, but you're right. Many thanks again. Nick Moyes (talk) 21:32, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I've just given it a try-out and it works fine. However, is there any way that a new tab can be opened, but remains inactive in the background, i.e. with the Recent Changes page staying as the active window? I can't speak for others, but I tend to work down the Recent Changes list (perhaps searching on one keyword like 'typo' or 'fixed it') and opening lots of new tabs until I get to the end pf the page. Only then to I leave the RC page and go and check out each newly opened tab in turn. I think this would be a better way of operating if it can be done. Again, many thanks. Nick Moyes (talk) 13:41, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , This isn't technically possible as browsers do not allow such behaviour. Only ways to open a link in a new tab but keep focus on the current tab is by holding down and clicking, or middle-clicking using a mouse. Even simulating such clicks using javascript code tends to make the new tab active. It looks like the decision of which tab to give focus is made by the browser and can't be tweaked.
 * For your workflow, I think using a mouse and middle-clicking would be the most convenient. SD0001 (talk) 14:41, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Bloomin' heck! I wasn't even aware of that keystroke combination, after god knows how many years of working with IT. Thanks - that's a perfect solution to my needs. As my wife says about me: "the simplest things are often the best - that why I married you!" Cheers, Nick Moyes (talk) 14:59, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Fancy Hagood

Jake Hagood (born March 29, 1991), known professionally as Fancy Hagood and formerly known as Who Is Fancy, is an American singer. He co-signed with Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta on Big Machine Label Group and Dr. Luke on Prescription Songs. His single "Goodbye" was released in early 2015, peaking at number 29 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart. Fancy was presented at the iHeartMedia Music Summit, although his identity was kept secret.

Early life
Jake Hagood was born March 29, 1991, in Bentonville, Arkansas. He taught himself to play piano at age eleven. He grew up listening to Christian and Country music. After finishing high school in Arkansas, Hagood moved to Nashville, Tennessee to attend Trevecca Nazarene University. The name, "Fancy", was a nickname given to him by coworkers at Forever 21 during this time.

While attending university, Hagood wrote original music and performed around the Nashville area. He left the university after being discovered by producers Scooter Braun, Scott Borchetta, and Dr. Luke. Hagood is openly gay.

Career
Beginning in January 2015, Hagood, his management team, and his record label, built a viral campaign around the singer and his debut single "Goodbye". The single was released without revealing the person behind the "Fancy" pseudonym. A series of pseudo-music videos and a lyric-only clip were viewed more than 4 million times on YouTube, and with early radio support from stations like New York's Z100, the song reached number 29 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart, number 48 on the Billboard Digital Songs chart, and number 98 on the Billboard Hot 100. Three music videos for the single were released, featuring three different actors lip-syncing to the song. Each video dealt with themes like gender identity and body positivity. A fourth music video featuring the performer himself in the same setting was filmed but never released.

In an interview with USA Today, Hagood said that one of motivations behind the campaign was for people to "know [his] art before they knew [him]". However, the concept met with a mixed response from some of Hagood's friends, including pop singer Meghan Trainor, who says she was vocally against it from the start. "I felt like you're hiding this guy," she told The Canadian Press. "What I loved about (Who is Fancy) was his appearance. He's this bubbly, happy person ... he has the confidence, he has everything, and they just — I don't like what they did."

Hagood finally revealed his identity on April 7, 2015, in an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

To promote his second single "Boys like You", Who Is Fancy performed with collaborators Meghan Trainor and Ariana Grande on Dancing with the Stars on January 23, 2016.

After "Boys Like You" failed to perform on the charts, Hagood parted ways with manager Braun and Republic. In an interview with The Canadian Press, he said that he hoped to relaunch his career in summer 2016.

In 2016, Hagood was featured on Clean/Photograph, a Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran mashup by Nashville singer-songwriter Louisa Wendorff. The mashup received good reviews, and was featured in articles on Billboard, Seventeen, and others.

He later returned to Nashville to re-evaluate his career, taking on the new stage name Fancy Hagood and incorporating new genres such as Country, confessional Pop, and glam rock to his music.

In July 2020, he released his first single under the new moniker, titled "Don't Blink."

Follow-up singles that year included "Another Lover Says" "The Same Thing" and "Forest." Three more singles "Mr. Atlanta" "Good Man" and "Southern Curiosity" were released in 2021 ahead of his upcoming album.

His debut album Southern Curiosity was released on April 9, 2021.

After the release of his album, Hagood released a couple of collaborations with Devon Gilfillian ("Let Me Be" in 2021), Abby Anderson ("Where Did All the Cowboys Go?" in 2022) and Kacey Musgraves ("Blue Dream Baby" in 2022) as well as a solo single "Bored" (in 2022).

Hagood reflected on his experience with a major label, and how they softened his gay persona: "It was everyone wanting to see me win, and they were like, 'Well, maybe you can't win if you're this (type of person),'" he says. "But maybe I could, you know what I mean?"

In Late 2023, Elton John gave praise to Fancy, calling him a "hoot" on Elton's Apple Music Rocket Hour, identifying Fancy's rise as a country music star.

Concert tours
Hagood has opened for both Meghan Trainor's MTrain Tour and Ariana Grande's The Honeymoon Tour.

He opened for Elle King on her "Drunk And I Don't Wanna Go Home" tour in 2022.

Draft:Original research/Language

Language is a form of communication.

Universals
Def. a "form of communication using words either spoken or gestured with the hands, often with a writing system, usually structured with grammar" is called a language.

"Language may refer either to the specifically human capacity for acquiring and using complex systems of communication, or to a specific instance of such a system of complex communication."

Dialects
Def. "[a] variety of a language ... that is characteristic of a particular area, community or group" is called a dialect.

"The difference between a language and a dialect is not always clear, but it is generally considered that people who speak different dialects can understand each other, while people who speak different languages cannot."

Words
Def. "[a] distinct unit of language (sounds in speech or written letters) with a particular meaning, composed of one or more morphemes, and also of one or more phonemes that determine its sound pattern" is called a word.

Communication
Def. "[t]he concept or state of exchanging data or information between entities" is called communication.

Early language
Language is thought to have originated when early hominins started gradually changing their primate communication systems, acquiring the ability to form a theory of other minds and a shared intentionality.

The English word language derives ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dn̥ǵʰwéh₂s "tongue, speech, language" through Latin lingua, "language; tongue", and Old French language.

The Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure, who defined the modern discipline of linguistics, first explicitly formulated the distinction using the French word langage for language as a concept, langue as a specific instance of a language system, and parole for the concrete usage of speech in a particular language.

When speaking of language as a general concept, definitions can be used which stress different aspects of the phenomenon. These definitions also entail different approaches and understandings of language, and they also inform different and often incompatible schools of linguistic theory.

Critical brain size and language
It "is of interest to obtain correlations between brain size, brain complexity, body size, and measures of "intelligence" and neurophysiologic and psychologic variables of interest. In order to find appropriate measures, one must eliminate many expectations and presuppositions about what will be found and what will not be found.1 Let us examine one example—language itself. Primarily we are interested in human language. Can any correlation be found between brain weight, brain-weight to body-weight ratio (or any of the other biological measurements), and the acquisition of a complex language? Several lines of evidence suggest the possibility that at least in the mammalia there may be a critical absolute brain size below which language, as we know it, is impossible and above which language, as we know it, is possible and even probable [7]. In saying "language as we know it," I am referring not to a literal slavish view of the human languages currently extant; I am referring rather to the ability of these languages to transmit, to store, and to carry from one mind to another mind certain kinds of and degrees of complexity of information. This information can contain data related to the past, the present, and the future and expresses to the mind of the receiver (however imperfectly) the state of mind of the sender, his plans, his actions, his problems. Hypothetically, a nonhuman language may use a logic which is totally strange, an apparent external form which may be bizarre to humans, and contain ways of looking at information which are totally unfamiliar."

Beaumont-de-Pertuis

Beaumont-de-Pertuis (, literally Beaumont of Pertuis; Bèumont de Pertús) is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.

Beaumont de Pertuis is a small village situated in the Parc Naturel du Luberon on the border of the Alpes de Haute Provence, the Var and the Bouches du Rhone. A busy road once ran through the middle of Beaumont de Pertuis which was at the time a prosperous medieval market town. In the 14th century, Beaumont could boast more than 1,000 inhabitants and belonged to one of the largest communes in France.

The first reference to Beaumont (Baùmoun, which means "cave" in Provençal dialect) dates back to 1079, a reference to the cave of Eucherius of Lyon. Before becoming archbishop this hermit went on retreat in a cave overhanging la Durance in the town of Beaumont de Pertuis. Later on, this cave became a pilgrimage site and a chapel was carved inside the mountain.

 * Saint Jean Baptiste Church
 * Place de la Colonne

User:Marissadorros/Evaluate an Article

Evaluate an article
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.

 * Name of article: Criticism of technology
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate.

This topic is relevant to what we are learning in IST 431. We recently discussed the positive effects of technology on our lives so I wanted to read about the opposite perspective. The article seems somewhat short despite the broad topic, which indicates room for improvement.

Lead

 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
 * Yes
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * No, but the article only contains an overview, not specific topics.
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * Yes, the article doesn't completely expand upon what is listed in the Lead. For example, there are references to Capitalism as well as certain everyday technologies.
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?
 * The lead is concise. The last sentence is not absolutely necessary but it is helpful that it gives examples of the topic. However, these are not discussed again further on.

Content

 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Yes
 * Is the content up-to-date?
 * The content is up to date but it is an ever-changing topic and could be updated to include even more current information.
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
 * It could be expanded to include critiques of the technologies listed in the Lead and other information like additional negative effects of technology. There are also some areas that should be explained further.

Tone and Balance

 * Is the article neutral?
 * Yes
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * No, the article is neutral and references where/who certain perspectives came from. For instance, this sentence, "Critiques also focus on specific issues such as how technology - through robotics, automation, and software - is destroying people's jobs faster than it is creating them, contributing to the incidence of poverty and inequality" might seem biased, but it is not, as it is providing the viewpoint of critiques.

Cookbook:Traditional Pound Cake

| Dessert | Cake

A traditional pound cake recipe would specify one pound each of flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. These quantities are too great for most modern families, but an excellent cake can be made with half quantities. It is usual to weigh the eggs first and then use the same weights of the other ingredients; with a traditional pair of kitchen scales, the eggs are simply used instead of weights.

Ingredients

 * ½ pound self-raising flour (or rice flour for gluten-free)
 * ½ pound butter
 * ½ pound (4 ea.) eggs
 * ½ pound caster sugar
 * 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
 * ½ pound assorted dried fruit (currants, sultanas, and raisins, with perhaps a lesser quantity of glacé cherries; optional)

Procedure

 * 1) Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F or Gas Mark 4).
 * 2) Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy.
 * 3) Beat in the eggs and add the vanilla extract.
 * 4) Gradually sift in the dry ingredients.
 * 5) Transfer to a greased and floured baking pan.
 * 6) Bake for 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted shows no moist crumbs when removed.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * ½ pound (or lb) is equal to 1 cup or 8 oz or approximately 227 grams (or g). Needless to say, in this recipe, 250 grams of each ingredient could be used.

Talk:Wingham, Ontario

A couple of anonymous users, including most recently <IP_ADDRESS>, have substituted the word "colonial" into the time period with which the North Huron Museum is concerned. I know it sounds weird, but according to the North Huron website, the museum covers the time period starting in the "paleolithic" era (see External Links). If you have different information, please name your source. Thanks. --Freeinfo 01:50, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Before you make these changes again, please read:

downloaded vs. downgraded: As part of a realignment of provincial vs. municipal responsibilities, the provincial government in the 1990's downloaded responsibility for the operation and maintenance of many former provincial highways to local municipalities. Sections of the former Highways 86 and 4 near Wingham were included in this downloading. So please don't change the word downloaded to downgraded.

Schools in Wingham: This should include only those schools physically located in the Wingham Ward (community of Wingham) boundaries.Freeinfo 01:57, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Some minor changes here. First you missed one school, Turnberry located just outside of town by the airport, and second you never mention Doc crankshuick who brought the first radio station to midwestern Ontario. LOL and its my home town. Carl Anson

uh yeah i just added a whole bunch of attractions backed up with links etc trying to flesh out the page a bit, but someone went and deleted them all! So dumb. I'm probably not going to put them back because i dont feel like doing it all again just for someone to go and delete it the next day.

Old train line
On the google map satelite pictures it looks like a train line once ran through Wingham. Is there any information about this line and about the termini of it? [Edit: forgot to sign: <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:55, 10 May 2013 (UTC) ]
