Wikipedia:Copyright problems/Log

These are the logs of Copyright problems. The page did not change to a transcluded daily subpage until August 21 2005 but at that point, several days were already cleared and difficult to obtain from the history so the early parts of the logs have gaps in them. Additionally, the first few days of subpages may have had some entries removed from them before the change to transclusion and so may be incomplete. Entries from September 17 2005 onwards were created entirely under the daily subpage system and so are complete. Since September 18 2005, the daily subpage transclusions have been handled by User:Uncle G's 'bot which is run by User:Uncle G.

Public Pupil Pizza Project/Pre-Algebra and Spreadsheets

'''Note: The development of this concept has moved to the Effective Education Project. This page is being left for archive purposes.'''

Introduction
PizzaPre-Algebra and Spreadsheets is a standards-based curriculum that is being developed to create a more effective pre-algebra course than traditional curriculums. It will include a textbook, lesson plans, handouts, and additional online resources.

From an educational perspective, the teaching of mathematics has two primary purposes. One is to give students mathematical tools that can benefit them in their lives and careers, and the other is to help students learn to think logically. The Pizza Pre-Algebra curriculum goes beyond traditional curriculums in both of these areas.

Most pre-algebra curriculums emphasize the mechanics of the mathematics, but only show part of how it can be applied. And the applications that are shown are fragmented from each other. Pizza Pre-Algebra and Spreadsheets helps learners to see direct real world uses of pre-algebra while at the same time learning correct mechanics, and this is demonstrated through a consistent set of real world examples. Students also will learn how to enhance their mathematical skills through the use of spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel or Open Office Calc.

Pizza Pre-Algebra and Spreadsheets also helps to train students’ minds to think logically. Traditionally this is not emphasized in pre-algebra but only taught in higher mathematics when the concept of a proof is introduced. In the Pizza Pre-Algebra curriculum students will continually see examples of data-guided decision making, and apply this same principle to all the work they do. By doing this they will continually get practice in the critical thinking skills that can help them not stay competitive in the 21st global job market, both in business and in science. These critical thinking skills are also a solid foundation for students to be able to understand higher mathematics including proofs and/or enter into higher education.

Further this course teaches some important topics that are missing from traditional curriculums, including a discussion of binary, hexadecimal, and Boolean algebra. These concepts are critical to understanding how computers operate, and thus are important to anyone who wants to become a computer programmer, technician, web page designer, or database administrator. Statistics will also be emphasized more than in a traditional pre-algebra class.

The curriculum is divided into units which correspond to the lifecycle of a small business. These include the planning process of opening a business, operating the business, making an e-business by having a website, and improving the business through analyzing the data and doing business intelligence. Through these stages students will learn all of the areas of mathematics that California has set in its 6th Grade and 7th grade mathematics standards.

Sample Lessons
Note: This section should be moved into WikiBooks once the Units get Outlined

Lesson 1 – Introducing Jane

Jane has always dreamed of opening her own pizza parlor. She LOVES pizza. She has been eating pizza since she was a kid, and started cooking her own pizzas while a teenager. As an adult she decided that she would start her own business.

Like any potential business owner she wanted her business to succeed. She realized in order to succeed in business she needed to have the right tools, and know how to use them. Very early on in the process, Jane realized that she was going to need to know a lot more about math in order to successfully start her business. Through this book we will be following her life, and learning along with her about the mathematics required in this type of venture.

You will also be planning your own imaginary restaurant in the process, following some of the examples you learn from Jane’s business. You will also learn how to apply these mathematical tools to other parts of your life. In your future, you may not opt to ever create your own business, but by better understanding the process of how business works, you will be able to be a more capable employee, and have more power over your personal life.

Jane realized that in order to succeed in business she needed to make sure that she made good decisions. But she quickly realized that she wouldn’t truly know whether a decision was good or bad until after she made it. She knew that was about as good as gambling and that there must be a method she could use to help make sure her decisions were good.

Jane started reading business books about how to start her own company, and found out about the idea called data guided decisions. The concept was very simple, before making a decision a person should try to gather as much relevant information as possible and analyze that information to try and figure out which decision would be the most likely to lead to success. This concept of understanding a business and its environment is also often called Business Intelligence or BI for short.

Throughout this textbook you will see examples of how data can guide the decision making process. This is basically the scientific process, but used for business.

Jane also knew that she didn’t want to do all the mathematics by hand. So she bought a computer, and put a spreadsheet program on it. A spreadsheet program is basically a very advanced calculator that allows you to put information in a grid, and calculate automatically different entries in that grid. Microsoft Excel and OpenOffice Calc are two very popular spreadsheet programs. In this book we will try to use examples that will work in nearly any spreadsheet program. In the back of this book you will find a CD that contains OpenOffice that you can install on your home computer if you wish. Lesson 1 Questions:

1. Describe what “Data Guided Decision Making” means: 2. Why might you want to use a spreadsheet program? 3. Start thinking about what type of imaginary restaurant you might want to open. Write down several different ideas you may have: 4. Do you think Data Guided Decision Making can help out in personal decisions as well as business decisions? Explain your answer.

Lesson 2 – Thinking up a Name

Engineering Mechanics

Engineering mechanics is the application of mechanics to solve problems involving common engineering elements.

The goal of this Engineering Mechanics course is to expose students to problems in mechanics as applied to plausibly real-world scenarios. Problems of particular types are explored in detail in the hopes that students will gain an inductive understanding of the underlying principles at work; students should then be able to recognize problems of this sort in real-world situations and respond accordingly.

Further, this text aims to support the learning of Engineering Mechanics with theoretical material, general key techniques, and a sufficient number of solved sample problems to satisfy the first objective as outlined above.

Distinction between branches of physics

As you see in the diagram mechanics is the first and most fundamental branch of physics, supporting Thermodynamics and Electricity, and including Statics, Dynamics (= Kinematics + kinetics); all of which are highly applicable in engineering. but the most important part of them is statics (study of body at rest) which is not only a base for all others, but also have the highest engineering application. Physics also involve optics, waves, quantum, and relativity theory, which have no fundamental engineering application yet.

Distinction between classic and modern physics
Classical physics generally includes the old theories in physics that are often used to describe the states of physical phenomena in the macroscopic scale e.g. laws governing the laws of motion of masses usually larger than atoms and molecules. Modern physics on the other hand deals with the more recent theories which govern physical phenomena. Two broad branches of modern physics include quantum physics and relativity. These modern theories surfaced as a result of probes into what happened to matter at much more microscopic and abstract states. Hence, classical theories of physics are often classified as theories dating before the 1900s, while modern physics include theories propounded in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Distinction between Physics and Engineering physics

 * Difference of pure and applied science

Prerequisites
This book assumes familiarity with high school physics and calculus, although the mathematics used is fairly elementary.

Statics
We describe the motion of bodies using Newton's second law of motion

\text{Force = Mass * Acceleration} \mathbf{f} = m~\mathbf{a} \, $$

Statics deals with the situation where the acceleration ($$\mathbf{a}\,$$) is zero - which happens when a body is at rest, or moving with constant velocity. That means that the total force on a body at rest or with constant velocity must be zero. In other words, the sum of the forces on the body must equal zero.

\text{Sum of Forces = 0} \qquad \text{or} \qquad \sum \mathbf{f} = \mathbf{0} $$

Free body diagram: a tool for understanding and solving
Engineers typically draw what is called a "free body diagram" to show all forces on a body at rest. These forces are then broken down into vectors consistent with a useful coordinate system and summed in sets (components parallel to each basis vector) which are then set to zero to meet the static constraint of no acceleration being present.

This typically results in sets of equations which can be solved using simple linear algebra techniques or even simple algebra and substitution.

Truss
Forces act along the members, and there are no shear forces or moments. A truss is therefore defined as a system composed entirely of two-force members, which only carry axial loads. The ends of a truss are pinned, so that they don't carry moments. The only reactions at the ends of a truss member are forces. External forces on trusses act only on the end points. Truss problems are solved by the method of sections, where an imaginary cut is made through the member(s) of interest, and global equilibrium of forces and moments are used to determine the forces in the members, or by the method of joints, in which a single joint is isolated and analyzed and the resulting forces (not necessarily with a numerical value) are transferred to adjacent joints, where the process is repeated. The resulting set of equations can then be solved by linear algebra, or substitution.

Chains and Cables
Chains and cables are attached at end points and have a continuous load on them due to their own weight (body forces) or external loads. Let a cable of length $$L\,$$ have a load of $$w\,$$ acting per unit distance between the supports. If the tension in the cable at any point is $$T(x)\,$$, then we have, for an infinitesimal length of the cable making an angle $$\theta(x)\,$$ with the horizontal,

\begin{align} \cfrac{d}{dx}[T~\cos\theta] = 0 \\ \cfrac{d}{dy}[T~\sin\theta] = w  \end{align} $$

Thus, we have,

\begin{align} T~\cos\theta = \text{constant} = K \\ T~\sin\theta = \int w~dx + C_1 \end{align} $$

or

\tan\theta = \cfrac{1}{K}~\left[\int w~dx + C_1 \right] $$

Now

\tan\theta = \cfrac{dy}{dx} ~. $$

So we have a differential equation for $$y\,$$ in terms of $$x\,$$:

\cfrac{dy}{dx} = \cfrac{1}{K}~\left[\int w~dx + C_1 \right] $$

Solving for $$y\,$$,

y = \cfrac{1}{K}~\left[\int \left(\int w~dx\right)~dx + C_1~x + C_2 \right] $$

If $$w\,$$ is a constant, then we have,

y = \cfrac{1}{K}~\left[\cfrac{w~x^2}{2} + C_1~x + C_2 \right] $$

which is the equation of a parabola.

For a rope where the loading is given in terms of the length of the rope (much more common), i.e., $$ T \equiv T(s) $$ and $$ \theta \equiv \theta(s) $$, we have,

\begin{align} \cfrac{d}{ds}[T~\cos\theta] & = 0 \\ \cfrac{d}{ds}[T~\sin\theta] & = w(s) \end{align} $$

where

ds = \sqrt{dx^2 + dy^2} $$

Dynamics
Simply said, dynamics means that an object is in motion with some speed when a force is applied on it. Eg: a car is moving on the road with some velocity.

While statics deal with the part of mechanics where all objects are stationary, dynamics deals with objects or structures with a non-zero acceleration.

Dynamics may be broken down into kinematics and kinetics. Kinematics deal with displacement, velocities and accelerations without concern for the forces involved. Kinetics deal with the forces and moments involved in making the body move along with the measurement of various parameters describing the motion.

Dynamics
Dynamics is a branch of mechanics that deals with the study of bodies in motion.

Branches of dynamics
Dynamics is divided into two branches called kinematics and kinetics.

Kinematics is a branch of mechanics that describes the movement of a particle or body that does not cause force.

Kinetics is a branch of mechanics that combines the force acting on the body with its mass and acceleration.

Symbols and Notations

 * s = distance
 * x = horizontal displacement
 * y = vertical displacement
 * v = velocity
 * vf = final velocity
 * vi = initial velocity
 * a = acceleration
 * g = acceleration due to gravity
 * t = time

The Author of the master article listed a/the common tuning notes of C6 as "C-E-G-E-C-A"; But I think he intended to say C-E-G-A-C-E (1-3-5-6-1-3). I've never seen the author's version before, so am assuming it's a typo.

The 6th tuning (1-3-5-6-1-3) for any root note is a barn door to broad capability on Steel and Slide Guitars, ...in any style of Music.

Linked below is the largest and broadest discussion of C6 that I'm aware of, ...and I've searched far and wide over the last 17 years. It's also an excellent discussion of how scales and chords are navigated with a Steel Guitar's or Slide Guitar's open tuning; And covers all styles of music (well, not opera and hip-hop!): http://www.steelguitarforum.com/Forum2/HTML/003549.html. Although the online lesson site that sparked the discussion is intent on making the navigation of non-pedal Steel's scales and chords easy to understand (requires some basic music theory knowledge, ...with a theory briefer / refresher also provided); That discussion gets quite advanced, ...so here is an index that sorts out entries in the discussion relative to subject and experience level: http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum8/HTML/002238.html

Linked below is the largest community of Steelers on the planet, ...and great folks they are; An indexed treasure trove of information / discussions about pedal and non-pedal Steel Guitar, their Artists, their Music, learning resources, technical discussions and gear discussions: http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/index.php

Aloha, Denny T~. Author of the Lessons discussed.

Anyone notice that the picture on the title card is actually of a Pedal Steel? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 08:08, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

<IP_ADDRESS> 10:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC) --- I think Roy Smeck used an A7 tuning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:49, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Notable Players
When people feel compelled to insert these lenghty lists of players into these articles, it sure would be nice if the list was alphabetized. Just sayin'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 09:38, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I second this. Moreover, I question whether a list of "notable players" is really necessary in every article about an instrument.  There are articles all over Wiki that are nothing but lists, and it would be neater, and -- I think -- more appropriate to generate these lists as separate articles, and then simply link to them in the main article about the instrument.  This would make for greater consistency among the instrument articles, as currently some of them have such lists included (e.g., guitar, bass), whereas others do not (e.g., crumhorn, baryton).  It would also keep what are often hotly contested arguments over who should and should not be on the lists, out of the main article.  Something to think about, anyway.
 * <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:11, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * In perusing this list, the question arises as to what is meant by "notable player" with regards to the central theme of the article: Lap Steel Guitar?  It seems to me that a central criterion for membership in any such list should be that someone is primarily notable for playing that particular instrument.
 * Instead, I see a lot of people who have on various occasions indeed played lap steel, and who are indeed "notable", but who are primarily notable for things other than their lap steel playing. From just a quick sampling I would put Jeff Beck, Chuck Berry, Jerry Garcia, David Gilmour, Steve Howe, John Paul Jones, John Lennon, Jimmy Page, and probably several others into this latter category, and remove them from the list.  For example, while John Lennon has indeed played the instrument, when most people hear the name John Lennon, "lap steel guitar" is not the first (or even the third) thing that pops into their head.  Ditto for Jerry Garcia and the others.
 * Favor deleteting the heading "notable players" because it often turns it to a free-for-all contest over who is notable. --Eagledj (talk) 13:18, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

History
I added some references to the History section. While doing so I found that I question the mention of the theremin in this section. It's not a stringed instrument, nor is it the earliest electronic instrument, and it really has nothing whatsoever to do with the lap steel guitar (or any kind of guitar, for that matter). I left it in, but some consideration should be given as to whether it really needs to be there, and if so, whether some further explanation is in order. @<IP_ADDRESS> -- I also alphabetized the list of players. :) <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:02, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Merge proposal
We currently have two articles, "Lap steel guitar" and "Lap slide guitar" which seem to be essentially about the same instrument. It has been this way for over a decade, but reading the two, it does not appear that there is any real reason to have two articles; both tread the same ground and do not draw any real distinction. We really should consider merging both to the most common term (being "lap steel guitar") and giving them some rewriting. Any objections with a reason why this would be a bad idea? -- Jayron 32 17:55, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Don't Merge, but do some serious cleanup to both articles to make the distinction clearer. Please correct me if I am mistaken about the most common uses of either or both terms, but my understanding has been: Lap steel guitar mostly refers to a specific instrument (generally electric, with a short scale, tiny body, very high action); Lap slide guitar most often indicates a playing technique that could be done with other kinds of guitars.— Theodore Kloba (☎) 19:58, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that distinction exists. The term is used both for the instrument and the technique.  Indeed, lap steel guitar seems to be the preferred term (see here)  Google ngram (which searches print sources only) has literally no mentions of the phrase "lap slide guitar".  lap steel guitar gets 487,000 ghits, while lap slide guitar has less than 10% of that number.  Where I can find the term, it tends to be used interchangeably with "lap steel guitar", or not used in any way as to be distinct from it.  A very few sites occasionally use the term to refer only to modified standard acoustic guitars which have a nut and bridge extender to allow them to be played steel style (see for instance this one, but that distinction does not seem widespread.   -- Jayron 32 20:27, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Maybe it would be better to turn Lap slide guitar into a disambiguation pointing either to Lap steel guitar and Slide guitar— Theodore Kloba (☎) 20:42, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Don't Merge--I have worked on the article "slide guitar" recently and have included the lap slide guitar in the article, trying to make distinctions clearer. To the extent that I succeed, I would vote to make "lap slide guitar" into disambiguation with a redirect to "Slide guitar", because both styles are blues-style music and their terminologies fit better, both using the word "slide" Think of it as substituting the word "blues" when you hear the word "slide"; whereas "steel" typically refers to any non-blues style, Hawaiian, country,  jazz, etc. On the other hand, "lap steel guitar" is a distinct instrument (as stated by others above). A redirect from lap "slide" to lap "steel" would not be wrong, but might miss the mark because of the mixed genres. The problem being that blues players; i.e., "slide guitarists", represent a different world than steel players and we have to somehow reconcile the differences in their terminology for which there are few reliable sources.--Eagledj (talk) 19:58, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean by "disambiguation with a redirect". If it's a disambiguation, it will have links to multiple pages.  If it's a redirect, it can only go to one place. As I mentioned above, I favor disambiguation. — Theodore Kloba (☎) 19:37, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Then I'd vote to delete "lap slide guitar" and redirect to "slide guitar" which in the same genre and covers both. "Lap slide guitar", as it stands, totally without sources, will take a lot of work to bring up to standards—only to be duplicated in another article. Even its first four words are misleading about what the actual subject is. --Eagledj (talk) 15:41, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete "Lap slide guitar" – It's a little used phrase that could be used for a slide guitar played on the lap. There's no usable (or referenced) information here that would benefit "lap steel guitar" (a distinct, well-known instrument). As a redirect, "slide guitar" would be the better choice, but I don't think it's a useful search term. It amazes me that so many of these instrument articles have existed for years without any reliable sources and full of personal opinions/original research.  They cast a bad light on WP. —Ojorojo (talk) 22:46, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree that slide guitar would be the better choice for a redirect. It wouldn't hurt to put a redirect hatnote there saying Lap slide guitar redirects here. For [concise description of what a lap steel guitar is] see lap steel guitar. It seems we're more or less at a consensus.  Maybe temporarily put the content from lap slide guitar into a subpage of this Talk in case any of it proves to be worth saving for the merge.— Theodore Kloba (☎) 16:50, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I think we're at a pretty good consensus to get rid of "Lap slide guitar" in some way. I'll go ahead and set it as a redirect, if some of the content is needed to be merged, we can get it from the page history.  It looks like the consensus is to redirect it to Slide guitar so I'll go do that.  -- Jayron 32 17:50, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Relationship to the chitra veena
hi, I was wondering about writing/researching some stuff about this being related to chitra veena, as explained in for example http://www.ravikiranmusic.com/chitravina.htm. it's atleast worth mentioning that there existed older instruments with the characteristic playing technique and that there is some evidence of influence (should that be correct) right? ~🐈🐈~ ♪ ~何? 14:25, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Unsourced material
For years, this article existed in Wiki without any citations. I have tried to improve it recently by adding considerable referenced content. I am looking for input regarding deletion of some unsourced material. I've abbreviated "Tunings" to serve as a broad overview and left out some of the the detail that only sophisticated devotees would really understand; see NOTTEXTBOOK. Also, the "Notable Players" section is a quagmire where everyone has his favorite player and adding them becomes a free-for-all (as I stated 3 years ago on this page, see above). Many players played both lap steel and pedal steel (Buddy Emmons). I propose deleting "Notable players" or putting it as a list on a separate page not in the main article. Eagledj (talk) 21:09, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Having not heard any comments to the contrary, I have deleted "Notable players" section. Why do we need "Manufacturers" to be in the article? Just asking. Eagledj (talk) 22:28, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * "Manufacturers" list deleted, sound files added. Eagledj (talk) 17:58, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Serious omission
Shouldn't this article state in which year the first solid-body electric lap steel guitar was introduced to the public? How could someone have written an article on this subject and failed to mention this information, which anyone visiting this article would expect to find here? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:10, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Muhieddine Itani

Muhieddine Abdul Razzak Itani (محي الدين عبد الرزاق عيتاني; 6 September 1929 – 5 August 2015), also known as Tabello (طابللو), was a Lebanese footballer who played as a full-back.

In the early 1950s, Itani began his senior club career at Nejmeh, helping the team gain promotion to the Lebanese Premier League. In 1959, he moved to Racing Beirut, who won the league in the 1964–65 season, before playing for Tadamon Beirut. He then returned to Nejmeh, where he was the top goalscorer in the Lebanese Premier League in the 1968–69 season. Itani also played for Lebanon at international level, representing the country in the Arab Cup in the 1960s.

Itani was known for his technique and agility, as well as for his skill in controlling the ball in unconventional ways. He was an ambidextrous, offensive full-back who was capable of playing on both flanks. Despite being only 1.61 m tall, Itani could jump to reach high balls. He was also known for his off-field antics; he would play practical jokes, especially on trips abroad with his teams.

Early life
Muhieddine Itani was born in Ras Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon, on 6 September 1929. In the winters, he spent time fishing with his father Abdul Razzak and in the summers he went swimming. His father would send him to Sheikh Mohammed Itani to learn to read, write, and memorize the Quran. Itani, however, often ran away from school to spend time playing football in the Nejmeh Stadium. Itani was expelled from school multiple times, remaining illiterate throughout his life.

Every afternoon while training at Nejmeh, Itani would see an Englishman called Chance watching him and his teammates train. One day, Chance asked Itani to train in private with him; Itani did "not hesitate to accept his offer". Itani trained at least four hours a day with Chance. Itani said that his training sessions with Chance developed him as a footballer and he learned the fundamentals of the sport.

Club career
Itani began his senior club career in the early 1950s with Nejmeh under coach Salah Itani. He helped Nejmeh gain promotion to the 1953–54 Lebanese Premier League for the first time after winning the Lebanese Second Division in 1952. Itani's first game in the Premier League ended in a 3–0 win against Racing Beirut in which he scored a penalty kick.

In 1959, Racing Beirut purchased Itani, who was paid £L20,000, an Audi car, and a Vespa scooter, and secured a job at the Regie Company. He was part of the team that won the 1964–65 Lebanese Premier League. In the 1960s, Itani moved to Tadamon Beirut, before rejoining Nejmeh. He was the Lebanese Premier League's top goalscorer of the 1968–69 season, scoring 15 goals.

International career
Despite playing in the Lebanese Second Division with Nejmeh in the early 1950s, Itani attracted the attention of the Lebanese national team coach and was called up. On 17 May 1961, he represented Lebanon in an unofficial friendly against Brazil. Itani was part of the team that played in the 1963 Arab Cup, which was held in Lebanon; he played in the opening game of the tournament, a 6–0 win over Kuwait, and scored an own goal for Tunisia in a game that ended in a 1–0 defeat.

Itani's most memorable game was a 1–0 win against Libya on 8 March 1964, at the 1964 Tripoli Fair Tournament. He scored the game's only goal through a penalty kick in the final minute. Muhieddine stated he deceived the goalkeeper by "looking at the referee as if [he] was talking to him"; the goalkeeper was "busy looking at the goalposts" and "only noticed that the goal was scored when the crowd started cheering".

Style of play
Due to his ambidexterity, Itani played both as a left-back and a right-back. He was a penalty-kick specialist who was noted for his technique and his movements. He controlled the ball in unique ways, stopping it with both feet or with his lower back. Despite his short stature of 1.61 m, Itani had a high elevation, which enabled him to reach higher balls. Although he played in a more defensive role, often Itani used fast offensive breaks. Once he had already dribbled an opponent, he would often go back to dribble him again because "the spectators enjoyed it". He was also known for his shooting skills.

After football
After retiring from football, Itani was a long-distance swimmer who was considered to be the only swimmer in Lebanon to participate in every national race, competing symbolically during his old age. In the 2008 annual Christmas race held by the Al Jazeera Sporting Club, at the age of 80, he was the eldest of the 112 participants.

Personal life
Itani was nicknamed Tabello (طابللو) and was known for his humility and eagerness to help. He was also famous for his pranks, which he especially perpetrated on trips abroad with his football teams. During the 1961 Pan Arab Games, held in Morocco, the national team manager Joseph Nalbandian promised each player he would receive US$3 for every day spent in the tournament. Following the tournament, because the players had not received their tournament bonus, Itani and his teammates came up with a plan. Itani stripped naked in front of a balcony on the third floor of the University of Casablanca, where the national team was residing during the tournament. Passers-by who overlooked the balcony would complain about Itani's nakedness to the hotel manager. The manager spoke to Nalbandian, who asked Itani to "wear his clothes", giving him the money.

Itani traveled with the Lebanese national team to Tunis, Tunisia, to play a friendly game on 9 June 1963 against the Tunisian national team. The Lebanese team was well-received by the local Tunisians; among whom was a mizmar player wearing a skirt. The Lebanese players were annoyed by the mizmar player and asked Itani to ask him to leave. Itani started dancing next to him and put his hand below the musician's skirt. The mizmar player continued to play while jumping up and down; the players were overwhelmed with laughter.

In 1959, as part of his transfer to Racing Beirut, Itani was hired by the Regie Company. In 1970, Itani established a fish shop in the Commodore area of Hamra, Beirut; in the 1990s he moved to the city's Karakas neighborhood and opened a fish shop called "Al Kalaa Fishery" (مسمكة القلعة). Itani's favourite players were Mahmoud Berjawi and Mardek Chabarian in Lebanon, and Pelé globally. His favourite coach was Ion Bogdan during his time at Racing Beirut.

Itani, who had eight children, died on 5 August 2015 aged 85.

Beneath the Sky

Beneath the Sky was an American metalcore band from Cincinnati, Ohio. The band originally formed in 2004 and disbanded in 2014, having released 3 studio albums through Victory Records.

Background
Beneath the Sky formed in mid-2004 after the collapse of their previous bands Makeshyft and Blind Judgment. Through constant promotion and regional touring, Beneath The Sky have gained fans across the United States and in other parts of the world, including Lithuania. In January 2005, Beneath The Sky released a four-song demo that distributed over 5000 copies before its retirement in late 2005.

Beneath The Sky completed work on a new album at Track Six Recording, Inc. in Cleveland, Ohio with producer Don Debiase and producer/mixer/engineer Brandon Youngs.

Towards the end of 2007, Beneath The Sky were nominated for a Cincinnati Music Award in the Hard Rock/Metal category by CityBeat Magazine.

On March 22, 2008 in a MySpace blog, the band confirmed the addition of two new members, guitarist/vocalist Kevin Stafford and drummer Bryan Cash, who both replaced guitarist Chris Profitt and drummer Brandon Sowder. The blog confirmed the departure of keytarist Matt Jones. The band's second album was released on June 24, 2008.

On August 15, 2008 in a Myspace blog, the band announced that they had broken up. The band was signed to Victory Records until 2008.

As of March 13, 2009, Beneath The Sky had been separated due to a problem with their finances but, in a MySpace blog, confirmed that they had reunited and are set to start touring again.

On May 11, 2010, they released their album, "In Loving Memory."

A post on their Facebook page on August 1, 2011 stated that they have nothing to report: "There is nothing to update unfortunately. No new album in the works. But we still like you guys and hopefully you guys still like us! so let's keep posting and sharing good stuff!"

They played a reunion show on January 26, 2013, and according to Chris, there are so far 6 new songs in the works. He said that if a new album is not right for the band, then they will simply release the songs online. The band posted a video of the first test post hiatus, the video shows some members of the original lineup. On July 23, 2014, however, they shared a statement by Chris from the day before via their Facebook page, announcing a breakup and a farewell show in Covington, Kentucky set for September 20.

I am quick-failing this review as there are far too many unsourced paragraphs, and at 78K of prose, it's too long - in particular the post-split career probably wants to be trimmed down, with the main focus on the prime time 1974-82 career.

European History/Napoleon Bonaparte and the Rise of Nationalism

In a better attempt to prevent freely elected royalists from taking control of the Directory in 1799, members of the bourgeois sent Napoleon Bonaparte and his army to defend the Directory and the annulment of the elections. However, Napoleon took advantage of this situation and in the Coup of Brumaire took control of the nation.

The Consulate 1799-1804
In the early nineteenth century, the newly-crowned emperor Napoleon Bonaparte implemented a set of laws known as as the  Napoleonic Codes. These laws ensured equal legal rights for all men; however they also restricted many areas of women’s lives. The Napoleonic Codes created a fair tax and hiring system that abolished exemptions based on social status, repealing the three estates system from feudal times. Primogeniture, hereditary nobility, and class privileges were also repealed. With these codes, the upper class, known as the former first and second estates, no longer enjoyed tax exemptions. The codes improved France by enforcing religious toleration, improving working conditions, and creating middle-class education in the form of “lycées”.

Although Napoleon’s global wars resulted in increased nationalism and foreign trade, they also led to his downfall at the scorched earth in Russia. Napoleon implemented secret police along with increased censorship in order to suppress anyone who questioned the legitimacy of his rule. Those who disagreed with Napoleon’s laws were prosecuted. The codes also reinstituted slavery in French colonies in order to boost France’s economy and profits at the expense of free labor, marking a setback in the French abolition movement.

In France, these codes impacted women negatively due to patriarchal restrictions. Napoleon openly stated that “the wife [owes] obedience to her husband,” implying that women were inferior to men. As a result, women lost control over property, money, and their own children. They could not initiate a lawsuit without permission from their husbands; however they could be prosecuted without their husbands’ permission. If women divorced their husbands or vice versa, men received complete ownership over the children, and if women committed adultery, they faced the death penalty, a penalty not applicable to men. The implementation of the Napoleonic Codes halted the feminist movements of Mary Wollstonecraft and Marquis Concordat and, undoing the progress made. In “Rights— for Women?” author Rosalind Miles summarizes the treatment of women under the Napoleonic Codes: “by marrying they were signing up to a lifetime ban on even going out to buy food at the market unless their husbands agreed”.

The Empire 1804-1814
In 1804, Napoleon declared himself French Emperor and became a military dictator. Napoleon was mostly undefeated against his three main continental enemies: Austria, Russia, and Prussia. By 1806, he had taken control of large parts of central and southern Europe. However, Napoleon failed to subdue England thanks to Admiral Nelson of the British Royal Navy and his victory at the Battle of Trafalgar. As a result of this military defeat by Britain, Napoleon created the Continental System, a method of economic warfare. He prohibited trade with the British by blockading all coasts of Europe, preventing European ports from importing British products. Unfortunately for Napoleon, this failed because the British were able to smuggle goods into Europe and were also able to trade with their colonies in Asia and the United States. Napoleon eliminated the Holy Roman Empire, and in 1806 consolidated it into 40 states, naming it the Confederation of the Rhine. In 1808, Napoleon invaded Spain and forced Spanish King Charles IV to abdicate. British troops joined the Spanish army in resisting this invasion, and the joined forces used guerrilla tactics and small groups of fighters to deter and eventually defeat the 200,000-strong French invasion force by 1814.

After Alexander I of Russia withdrew from the Continental System, Napoleon invaded Russia in June of 1812 with an army of roughly 600,000 and a declared goal of freeing Poland from Russian power. Napoleon’s invasion failed, mainly due to the Russian army’s use of scorched-earth tactics, which enabled the otherwise evenly matched Russian army to defeat Napoleon's army. The scorched-earth policy prevented the French army from replenishing supplies from captured territory, forcing the French army to retreat during the winter. After dealing with a mix of cold, starvation, and battles with the Russian army, only 40,000 of the original 600,000 French soldiers returned home. Back in France, Napoleon quickly raised a new army, but the Quadruple Alliance of England, Austria, Russia, and Prussia defeated this army at the Battle of Nations/Leipzig in 1813. In 1814, the Quadruple Alliance exiled Napoleon to the island of Elba and forced him to abdicate, but he managed to escape from the island and return to France in 1815, a period known as the Hundred Days. During the Hundred Days, Napoleon raised another army, but Quadruple Alliance forces, led by the British General Wellesley (Duke of Wellington), defeated this new army at the Battle of Waterloo. Following his defeat at Waterloo, the Quadruple Alliance exiled Napoleon to the island of Saint Helena, where he died in 1821. The Napoleonic Wars had a significant impact on the political history of Europe, leaving borders changed and having forced the collaboration of many European powers to defeat Napoleon.

The Congress of Vienna 1814-1815
The Quadruple Alliance assembled at the Congress of Vienna to create a post-Napoleonic Europe. Their representatives were Castlereagh of England, who assembled the Quadruple Alliance, Talleyrand of France, Metternich of Austria, and Alexander I of Russia.

The Congress of Vienna was incredibly lenient toward France. It simply restored the old boundaries and restored Louis XVIII to the throne. It imposed no reparations. This was done because the allies desired a stable, prosperous France that would not threaten them with revolution or invasion.

The Restoration of Louis XVIII Bourbon
Louis XVIII did not wipe out the gains of the Revolution. Rather, out of fear of revolution, he signed the Charter of 1814 that provided legal equality, offices open to all men, a two chamber parliament, Napoleonic civil code, and the abolition of feudalism.

A Shift in Foreign Policy
After Napoleon's fall, European foreign policy took a major shift. While preserving the balance of power was still important, now much more prominently featured in war would be advocates of liberalism (revolutionaries, republicans, nationalists) versus conservatism or the "Old Regime" (the monarchy, aristocrats, clergymen).

Old Regime monarchs, led by Klemens Wenzel von Metternich of Austria, used the Congress System, also known as the Concert of Europe, to prevent revolution and war. At the Congress System the leading of nations of Europe worked together to prevent the outbreak of revolution in each nation.

A New Nationalism
Many of the territories occupied by Napoleon during his Empire began to feel a new sense of nationalism. During the occupation, Napoleon destroyed and disallowed many nations' individual cultures, and the people of these nations greatly resented this. As a result, Napoleon's conquests spurred a new nationalism in the occupied nations, particularly in Germany and Italy, at a level that had never previously existed.

Tarlac River

The Tarlac River is a river in Central Luzon Philippines, it is the longest tributary of the Agno River with a total length of 95.2 km covering a drainage area of 1900 km2 traversing the provinces of Tarlac and Pangasinan. The river originates around the vicinity of Mount Pinatubo and empties itself into the Agno River at Poponto Swamp located between the boundaries of Tarlac and Pangasinan. It was formerly the site of traditional balsa or bamboo raft riding, until the river was heavily silted by sticky lahar or mud flow brought by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo on June 15, 1991, filling the river with over 10 ft of lahar. Its main tributary is the O'Donnel River in Santa Lucia, Capas, Tarlac.

The Tarlac River is dammed at Barangay Tibag in Tarlac City where its water is used for irrigation and distributed to the northern and central regions of Tarlac, the rest of the river is now a bed of sand. The river was once a good source of fish and water used for irrigation, the irrigation system now takes just about "all" of the remaining water and distributes it to barangays in Tarlac City such as Matatalaib and Maliwalo. The river bed is also being used as a source of sand and stones that can be used as construction materials.

Good hols, I hope. Very few substantive points to raise. Not much to cause alarm and despondency there. If you attend to these minor points we can proceed to the ribbon-cutting ceremony,  Tim riley  talk    20:00, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * There are some single quotes that should be double to conform with the Wikipedia manual of style.
 * There is inconsistent capitalisation of dukedoms and earldoms - "earl of Norfolk to Duke of Norfolk" in the lead and many similar inconsistencies in the main text - earl of Arundel, Earl of Cambridge, earl of Worcester etc. The MoS ruling as I understand it is that it's the Duke of Placename, but dukes of Placename and when unplacenamed just the duke or dukes. Ditto for other peers.
 * Your ulc policy has gone berserk in the subheadings: "With the duke of Gloucester" and "Under henry VI".
 * In the Character section the mention of M's "most recent biographer" calls out for her name to be added inline.
 * HOPE in citation one should be in ulc.
 * Thanks, I will attend to them 'on the morrow'- but, quickly- "ulc policy"? Can you remnd me...? Cheers, — fortuna  velut luna  20:05, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah- something to do with upper / lower case? — fortuna  velut luna  20:07, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The manual of style bids us change words in ALL CAPITALS to upper and lower case (ulc). TIME Magazine comes up a lot, and some of its devotees bridle at demoting the caps to ulc.  Tim riley  talk    20:15, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I think that I have addressed your points ... The only question being as to whether to your satisfaction! Thanks for doing this, — fortuna  velut luna  08:55, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Splendid. No difficulty with this review...

Copyright issues ?

 * I notice much of the material in the article is taken directly from, although the article doesn't mention weither it has permission to use the material. MadMax 22:32, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I belive we are clear of CV. The facts have been rewritten sufficiently that the expression is no longer in conflict with the copyrighted material. RJFJR 18:43, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I did the article and im sorry i didnt know there would be any copywright violations and yes i copied it almost verbatim from that site my bad im sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Curefreak (talk • contribs)

Due to the copyright violation issues, and an OTRS complaint, I have deleted the article. If an editor is willing to completely from-scratch rewrite the sections which were originally lifted from http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix3/shamrockcoc.htm cleanly then the article is restorable or recreatable without further ado, but it MUST have the copyright violation content removed if you do that. Georgewilliamherbert 08:15, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Mutant?
The Marvel Comics Presents tale was fairly clear when suggesting that Shamrock's powers were actually supernatural. Do we have any source to cite for the statement that she's actually a mutant? --Mrph 20:33, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Deleted!
Oops! Looks like previous editor(s) had borrowed a little too much from the Marvel Universe Appendix site and got this one deleted. I'll re-write it eventually (if no one else gets to it first), this time without using that site at all. :) BOZ 20:20, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, it is done. I did not copy anything from her Appendix profile, so hopefully this time it will be uncontroversial. BOZ 17:35, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:David Navarro (footballer)

Untitled
This is hughly bias against Navarro. I watched the game and Burdisso was asking to be punched by his persistant aggressive behaviour after the whistle. I'm not so sure the running away signifies cowardice either. These are all emotional actions, not premeditated. Furthermore, just because Mancini said it it does not mean 1) it is true, or 2) it needs to be quoted on this page. Only a person in bias against Navarro would add the "coward" quote to this page, and therefore, in the interests of fairplay it really ought to be removed. Many peopel say many derogatory things about others every single day but they should not be put in an ENCYCLOPEDIA. Why do I even have to point this out?(<IP_ADDRESS> 14:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC))

Saint Patrick, Bishop of Ireland

Saint Patrick, Bishop of Ireland is a 1746 painting by Giambattista Tiepolo, produced for the Canons Regular of the Lateran at the church of San Giovanni di Verdara, who venerated him as a member of their own order. It is now in the Musei civici di Padova.

It shows Saint Patrick in the vestments of a bishop, standing on a marble pedestal and raising his left hand as he cures an invalid. The artist had difficulty with the composition - a group of pen and ink drawings survive showing possible compositions of him healing a young man, preaching or exorcising a demon.

Amusing removal of well-sourced material -- midsentence!
User:Justanonymous added the entire Bernard Harcourt quotation on Halbrook to the article with the edit summary ''per WP:BLP we have to be discrete here about exactly what was said. Took the actual quote and source., but User:Capitalismojo removed it, saying "remove unrelated neo-nazi material from BLP''". This is some extremely funny stuff. Removing part of a quotation mid-sentence because it contains "unrelated neo-nazi material"! And he is backed up by User:Gaijin42. The patent abuse of WP:BLP policy here is simply boggling. — goethean 21:50, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

 * So your interpretation of BLP is that the part of a sentence NOT talking about Halbrook is relevant in an article about Halbrook? Gaijin42 (talk) 22:10, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

 * My interpretation is straight-forward. There's no reason to chop up a quotation — in the middle of a clause! — because you personally dislike the contents of that clause. There's no other reason to remove a few words. The sentence doesn't even make sense now that you've butchered it — one of the dashes is now missing. Let's just excise a few words out of the middle of a clause because we don't like that they discuss our favorite gun control ideologue in connection with a controversial figure. — goethean 22:22, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

 * The conflation of an unrelated white-power neo-nazi with a prominent attorney in a quote adds nothing to this BLP. The opinion of one professor/lawyer concerning another former professor/lawyer is a barely defensible addition to a BLP without the unrelated junk included. Capitalismojo (talk) 17:02, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Utter nonsense. There is nothing in the Harcourt material which comes close to violating BLP. Your chopping up a sentence and sticking it back together in an ungrammatical and unreadable way does not improve the article and should be reverted. — goethean 18:05, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

 * You have not provided an independent Reliable Source to verify all the text you added. The Washington Post article does not verify the statements in the text.  SPECIFICO  talk  02:59, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback. The Washington Post article combined with the amazon.com page verify most of the statements in the text. I believe the Independent Institute profile verifies the rest--or is that one questionable as an independent reliable source? Dante 2001 (talk) 13:48, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Furthermore, the statement primarily summarizes the topics of his articles and books, most of which are self-evident merely from reading their titles which are listed further down on the Wikipedia page. Dante 2001 (talk) 13:54, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Washington Post to the extent it verifies, AOK. Amazon not a secondary editorially vetted source.  Independent Institute is related and not a good independent secondary reference in this context.  Please try to find more like WaPo.  SPECIFICO  talk  16:54, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

The cv statement lists out topics on which he had published books. Amazon sells these books, therefore they exist. How can it get any clearer? (Obviously the articles are another matter.) I really can't tell if you're being serious or just messing with me. Be nice--I'm new to editing (as you may be able to tell). Dante 2001 (talk) 20:43, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
