Indonesia, officially the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesian: Republik Indonesia), is a nation of 17,508 islands in the South East Asian archipelago, making it the world's largest archipelagic state. With a population of over 200 million, it is the world's fourth most populous country and the most populous Muslim-majority nation. Indonesia is the world's third largest democracy after India and the USA. Its capital is Jakarta and it shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Malaysia.

The Indonesian Archipelago, home of the Spice Islands, has been an important trade destination since Chinese sailors first profited from the spice trade in ancient times. Indonesia's history has been influenced by foreign powers drawn to the archipelago by its wealth of natural resources; Indian-influenced Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms flourished, Muslim traders who spread Islam in medieval times, and Europeans during the Age of Exploration, who fought for monopolization of the spice trade. Indonesia was colonized by the Dutch for over three centuries; however, the nation declared its independence in 1945, which was internationally recognized four years later. Indonesia's post-independence history has been turbulent, with political instability and corruption, periods of rapid economic growth and decline, environmental catastrophe, and a recent democratization process.

Indonesia is a unitary state consisting of numerous distinct ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups spread across its numerous islands. A shared history of colonialism, rebellion against it, a national language, and a Muslim majority population help to define Indonesia as a state. Indonesia's national motto, "Bhinneka tunggal ika" ("Unity in diversity", derived from Old Javanese), reflects the amalgamation of a myriad cultures, languages, and ethnic groups that shape every aspect of the country. Sectarian tensions, however, have threatened political stability in some regions, leading to violent confrontations.

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

Pokémon Ultra Sun (ポケットモンスター ウルトラサン) and Pokémon Ultra Moon (ポケットモンスター ウルトラムーン) are 2017 role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. Part of the seventh generation of the Pokémon video game series, the games are enhanced versions of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, which released the previous year. Announced in June 2017, they were released worldwide on 17 November 2017. They were the final mainline Pokémon games for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, with the series migrating over to the Nintendo Switch the next year.

As with previous installments, the games follow the journey of a young Pokémon Trainer, taking place in the Alola region — based on Hawaii. Differences from Sun and Moon include an alternate storyline and new gameplay features, characters, Pokémon, and Pokémon forms, including new forms of the legendary Pokémon Necrozma as version mascots.

The games received generally positive reception, with critics praising the additional features included over Sun and Moon, although some criticized it for being too similar for a majority of the story. , a combined total of 9.15 million copies have been sold worldwide, ranking them as the ninth-best-selling Nintendo 3DS titles of all time.

Gameplay
Similar to previous games in the series, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are role-playing video games with adventure elements. While set in an alternate version of the Alola region, the mechanics and graphics remain largely the same as Pokémon Sun and Moon, with the primary differences being its modified storyline now including the Ultra Recon Squad. The player character designs are also different, though they remain customizable. "Global Missions", where players across the world work towards a collective goal, also make a return.

New features
Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon introduce some new Ultra Beasts: Stakataka, Blacephalon, Poipole and its evolution, Naganadel. In addition, there are new forms for the legendary Pokémon Necrozma, dubbed "Dusk Mane" and "Dawn Wings" forms, which are achieved by absorbing the legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and Lunala, respectively; it is conceptually similar to Black and White Kyurem from Black 2 and White 2. Also, a new Lycanroc form was added, Dusk Lycanroc. Players can now travel around the Alola region to collect Totem Stickers, which allow the player to receive a Totem-sized variant of a Pokémon. Three new activities have been added: Mantine Surf, which allows the player to surf across the region's seas—it also serves as an alternate way of earning Battle Points; Alola Photo Club, which allows players to take pictures of their player character with Pokémon in various poses; and Ultra Warp Ride, which allows the player to travel through varying Ultra Wormholes and encounter the original seven Ultra Beasts in their own worlds—in addition to finding legendary Pokémon from every game in the series up to that point, up to three times, and an increased chance for shiny Pokémon to appear. New Z-Moves are available for multiple Pokémon, including Solgaleo, Lunala, Lycanroc, Mimikyu and Necrozma. An upgrade to the Rotom Pokédex adds Roto-Loto, which allows the player to use boosts, akin to O-Powers from the previous generation; and Z-Rotom Power, which allows players to use up to two Z-Moves per battle.

Setting
The games put an emphasis on the legendary Pokémon Necrozma which, in these versions, takes Lusamine's place as the primary antagonist of the games. As with Sun and Moon, the games are set in the Alola region which is based on Hawaii. Although largely the same, the new games feature additional buildings and locations in comparison to the first installments. Multiple main characters featured in Sun and Moon, such as Lusamine and her children, return in the game with significant changes. A new group, the Ultra Recon Squad, is introduced with differing characters in the two games. Ultra Megalopolis, a vast city where Necrozma has robbed all of its light sources, is located within Ultra Space and is accessible through the Ultra Wormholes.

Another antagonist group, Team Rainbow Rocket, is featured in a post-game story and includes all of the previous antagonist group leaders featured throughout the series, ranging from Giovanni from Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow to Lysandre from Pokémon X and Y. Legendary Pokémon from previous generations are also included.

Story
Similar to Sun and Moon, the player character is Elio or Selene, who moving to Melemele Island in Alola with their mother. As is tradition, the player has rivals on their journey: Hau, a friendly boy who accompanies the player throughout the story, and Gladion, the estranged son of Lusamine. During their travels in Alola following the region's traditional island challenges, they complete trials which involve battles with powerful Pokémon known as Totem Pokémon, and encounter numerous groups — a villainous one known as Team Skull, led by a man named Guzma; a more charitable one known as the Aether Foundation, led by a blonded woman named Lusamine; and another called the Ultra Recon Squad, who came from a different dimension, the Ultra Megalopolis, where Necrozma has stolen its light. Much of the story revolves around multiple legendary Pokémon: a Cosmog, nicknamed Nebby, who eventually evolves into a Solgaleo in Ultra Sun, or Lunala in Ultra Moon; and Necrozma, who attempts to seize the light from Alola.

During the climax, Lusamine uses Nebby to create a wormhole to the Ultra Megalopolis, where she and Guzma attempt to fight Necrozma for the sake of the Ultra Recon Squad. However, they fail and are thrown back into their dimension later on in the story, with Necrozma following them. Necrozma fights Nebby, now a Solgaleo or Lunala, and prevails. Necrozma then absorbs the legendary Pokémon, gaining its Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings form in the respective version, and unleashes the Ultra Beasts upon Alola before fighting the player. After the player defeats it, Necrozma escapes into the Ultra Megalopolis, taking the world's light with it while the player, with the help of the Ultra Recon Squad, travels on the opposite legendary featured in each game—Lunala in Ultra Sun or Solgaleo in Ultra Moon—through Ultra Space to reach the Ultra Megalopolis. There, the player battles Necrozma, this time in its true form, as Ultra Necrozma, for the fate of the world and to rescue Nebby. The player defeats it once more, bringing light back to Alola. After completing these trials, the player proceeds to battle a newly established Elite Four and later defeats Hau to become the first-ever true Alola Pokémon League Champion.

In the post-game, the player encounters Team Rainbow Rocket, a dimensionally displaced group based on Team Rocket from Red, Blue, and Yellow. The aforementioned group seizes control of the Aether Foundation's headquarters and takes Lusamine hostage. The player stages a counterattack alongside a reformed Guzma, Lillie, and former Team Plasma leader Colress. Battling through villainous team leaders from the past games—Maxie and Archie from Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald; Cyrus from Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Lysandre from X and Y, and Ghetsis from Black, White, Black 2, and White 2—the player finally encounters Giovanni, who leads Team Rainbow Rocket and has a Mewtwo at his disposal. After the player's victory, Giovanni vanishes, wondering "what new world shall [he] unleash [his] evil schemes upon". The player can then explore the Ultra Wormholes, the worlds of the Ultra Beasts, and catch them with the Beast Balls they have acquired. After catching Necrozma at Mount Lanakila, Colress will appear and give the player the N-Solarizer or N-Lunarizer, allowing Necrozma to fuse or separate from Solgaleo or Lunala respectively. Once the player has caught the Ultra Beasts, the Ultra Recon Squad will tell them to defeat or catch Stakataka in Ultra Moon or Blacephalon in Ultra Sun.

Development
Shigeru Ohmori, one of the game's producers, stated that Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were worked on by younger staff members while veterans worked on the upcoming Pokémon games for the Nintendo Switch, although some more experienced members, such as Shigeki Morimoto were assigned to it. He also stated that Game Freak was treating Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as the "culmination of our work with the 3DS system". The development team of 80 was approximately half that of Pokémon Sun and Moon despite Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon having a script twice as long as Sun and Moon. In a separate interview, Ohmori also described an idea to develop the Ultra installments formed late during the development of Sun and Moon, with the titles intended to take advantage of the momentum gained by the Pokémon series following the massively successful release of the mobile game Pokémon Go. Game director Kazumasa Iwao was previously in charge of the battle systems in Sun and Moon.

In the post-game, the games include a tribute to former Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata, mentioning his role in the development of Pokémon Gold and Silver. The games received their first patch in December 2017, fixing several bugs.

Promotion and release
Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were revealed in a Pokémon Direct on 6 June 2017. Initial clerical errors in the Pokémon website showed that the games' release date for the Nintendo Switch were "TBA", although The Pokémon Company later clarified that the games were exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS.

Similar to its predecessor, the game's files were leaked on to the Internet before their official release, allowing software pirates to play the full game and data miners to find previously unannounced information including a new form for Necrozma, a new Ultra Beast, a new mythical Pokémon and more.

Less than a week before the game's release, the mobile game Pokémon Go released an update which enabled its players to customize their in-game avatars in the style of player characters from Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, marking the first time the app had been used to promote a main series game.

Reception
Prior to the release, both games were among the most highly anticipated titles for the Nintendo 3DS in 2017, according to Nielsen.

Critical reception
Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon received "generally favorable" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic. Casey Defreitas in her review for IGN remarked that the games were "full of smart improvements". Other reviewers made similar points, with Kallie Plagge at GameSpot noting that despite similarities with Sun and Moon, "Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon make enough changes to stand apart as the definitive version of the seventh generation games". On the other hand, Allegra Frank of Polygon criticized that the aforementioned changes were only present at the end, with the bulk of the gameplay being the same as its predecessor.

Sales
Following release, the two games sold 1.2 million physical copies—excluding digital copies purchased from the Nintendo eShop—within the first three days on sale in Japan. By the end of the year, the two games had sold over 2 million copies in Japan alone, making it the best-selling video game in the country for 2017. Sales from Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon pushed the cumulative sales of the franchise to exceed the 300 million copies sold milestone. According to Amazon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were their seventh-best selling video games in 2017—however, they drop to 25th for Ultra Sun and 28th for Ultra Moon if other video game-related products and console variations are accounted for. , a combined total of 9.15 million copies have been sold worldwide, ranking them as the ninth-best-selling Nintendo 3DS titles of all time.

Awards
The games were nominated for "People's Choice" at the Italian Video Game Awards, and won the "Excellence Prize" at the Famitsu Awards.

Linguistics/Typology

Overview
Languages can be classified based on different kinds of criteria. The most common are based on phonological, morphological, or syntactical criteria.

An important concept in linguistic typology is a linguistic universal. Universals make statements that are true of all languages, and may either be absolute (no language uses the raspberry sound phonemically) or implicational (languages with trial grammatical number also have dual grammatical number). However, as most of what are called 'universals' have at least a small number of exceptions, it is often more meaningful to talk about tendencies (e.g. SOV languages are very likely to be postpositional). Note that one reason it is worthwhile to preserve dying languages is because many of what we now think are universals may turn out to only be tendencies, thus making us more aware of what can and can't occur in human language.

Phonological typology
Certain phones occur often, while others are much less frequent, and some are more likely to be contrastive, while others usually group together with other phones as a single phoneme.

An example of a common phoneme is /t/. The overwhelming majority of languages possess it, though Hawaiian is an exception.

Morphological typology
There are roughly four kinds of morphologies that languages use: Analytic, Inflectional, Agglutinative, and Polysynthetic. Morphological classifications are made based on how the morphology of the language works, that is, how are words formed, combined, and inflected (if they are).

Analytic languages are not inflected, that is, nouns and adjectives are not declined and verbs are not conjugated. Instead, the order of the words determines grammatical relationships. English is an analytical language, though not perfectly so, because there are some agreement markers, tenses, etc. in English. For example, *he do is incorrect, because to do must be inflected to mark third person singular subject: he does. Chinese can also be said to be an analytic language, though words are so little inflected in Chinese, that some would classify it as a minimal grammar language. This is incorrect, since what languages lack in inflection (or morphology) they must make up in word order, or syntax; in a technical sense, both morphology and syntax are considered to form parts of grammar. Both English and Chinese rely on syntax, word order, to show grammatical relationships, e.g. the subject must be in a certain position relative to the verb (in English, it must precede it).

Inflectional languages are different from analytic languages, because they do inflect (as the name suggests) quite a lot. A good example is Latin, in which most words are marked up and down for all kinds of tenses, moods, cases, agreements, and more. When the words in the sentence are inflected to show agreement with all their subjects, objects, and other arguments, then word order becomes very fluid. Whereas analytical languages rely on strict word order, inflectional languages have flexible word order.

Agglutinative languages are those in which words can be combined easily. For example, instead of saying the shoe of the horse, agglutinative languages say horseshoe. Agglutinative languages include German and Turkish. In these languages, new words are formed by combining old ones, so that words can become very long, but also contain a lot of information. This kind of morphology is called productive, because new words are formed in a predictable manner. Agglutinative languages can have both lots of agreements and inflections, or have rigid word order, such as German.

The last kind of morphological category, polysynthetic languages, is the least understood by linguists, because none of the major written languages in the world today, such as English, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, etc., are polysynthetic. Some Native American languages in North America, such as Navajo, and some Polynesian languages are polysynthetic. Words, especially verbs, in these languages also tend to become very long, because every argument in a sentence is inflected on the verb, but also on other words with an argument structure, such as prepositions. These languages are very difficult to learn, not only because they are not properly understood, but also because one verb has literally hundreds of inflections. For example, the average Navajo verb has about 15 categories of prefixes, and a couple of affixes. These categories in turn, have between six and 200 members. In addition, the affixes can move around and change in agreement with other prefixes.

In reality, no natural language belongs exclusively to one category. Japanese, for example, has analytic pronouns (it uses postpositions to modify the role of nouns in a sentence), but inflectional/agglutinative in its verbs (taberu means to eat; tabenai means to not eat).

Syntactic typology
Syntactic typology distinguishes languages based on their preferred word order. The most commonly considered phrases considered are the subject, object, and verb. This gives six different possible orderings: SOV, SVO, VSO, OSV, OVS, VOS. The most common orders are SOV and SVO, constituting about 40% of languages each, with VSO constituting about 15%. The remaining five percent of languages have the object before the subject.

English and Mandarin Chinese are both commonly-spoken languages with SVO order. In Mandarin, for example, the simple sentence

(1a) Wǒ kàn shū

(1b) I read book

shows the same order as English, with the subject sentence-initial and the direct object following the verb.

By contrast, the about equally-common SOV order is found in languages such as Hindi/Urdu, Japanese, and Korean, among others. In the Japanese sentence

(2a) Watashi-ga hon-o yomimasu

(2b) I.subj book.obj read.polite

the verb appears in final position.

Some linguists have theorized that these orders are generalizations of a more general parameter on headedness. (The head of a phrase is the word which determines its type (e.g. in in the house the head is the word in, which creates a prepositional phrase.) The theory is that the verb serves as the head of a verb phrase containing it and the object, and the subject combines with this phrase to create a sentence. By this logic languages with right-headedness are SOV, and those which are left-headed are SVO.

However, VSO languages, such as Classical Arabic, Welsh, and Tagalog, cause problems for this theory. Consider the Welsh sentence:

(3a) Siaradodd Lloyd y Gymraeg

(3b) speak.past Lloyd DEF Welsh

It is not immediately clear how the verb could combine with the object to form a phrase without also combining with the subject. While more could be said about this, it should be clear that word order typology is important for understanding how sentences are parsed.

St. John's Fort

The St. John's Fort (Kubu St. John) is a historical fort in Melaka City, Melaka, Malaysia.

History
The fort was reconstructed from existing Portuguese fortifications during the Dutch period in the 18th century to guard against landward attacks. It was once a private Portuguese chapel dedicated to St. John the Baptist.

Architecture
The fort is located at the top of St. John's Hill. It was built from Laterite stone and bricks. The fort had only one entrance and its outer walls range between 3-4 meters high.

Exhibitions
The fort has canons that are facing inland because the Dutch feared inland threats from Acehnese and Bugis invaders more than maritime invasions.

Belle Christie Critchett

Belle Christie Ferguson Critchett (c. 1868 - January 6, 1956) was an American social activist and suffragist. Critchett was active in Texas, especially in El Paso and was part of the Texas Equal Suffrage Association (TESA). She worked with suffragist Maude E. Craig Sampson to increase opportunities for Black women voters. Later, she became president of the El Paso chapter of the League of Women Voters.

Biography
Critchett was born in Perthshire, Scotland. When she was two, her family moved to Clinton, Iowa. She attended normal school in Iowa. The family moved to Denver and Critchett worked as a teacher for eight years, teaching in both Pueblo, Colorado and Denver. She also studied music and drawing while in Colorado.

Critchett married Otis A. Critchett in 1901. She and her husband moved to El Paso, Texas in 1902. The couple had one boy, Otis Adams, Jr. who died in childhood. After her son's death, Critchett focused on civic activism.

Critchett became a member of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). She was also the secretary of the First Presbyterian Woman's auxiliary, which was at the time one of the largest women's organizations in the city. Critchett was involved with the El Paso Women's Club, where she discussed women's suffrage issues. She was involved with the Texas Equal Suffrage Association (TESA), acting as the National Committee Member in 1917. She headed the El Paso women's suffrage organization, the Equal Franchise League.

Critchett ran for the El Paso school board in 1918, where she was the only woman candidate. She was defeated by 47 votes. Also in 1918, Critchett attempted to get Black women to serve as county clerks in the upcoming elections, though she and Maude E. Craig Sampson were unsuccessful in the project. Critchett and Sampson, who headed with the El Paso Negro Women's Civic and Enfranchisement League, worked together on women's suffrage in El Paso.

After women earned the right to vote, Critchett became the president of the League of Women Voters in El Paso, a position she was elected to several years in a row.

Critchett died after a long illness on January 6, 1956. She was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in El Paso.

Wikibooks:How to obtain public domain books

There are many resources available on the net that are in the public domain, and therefore freely usable without restrictions for Wikimedia universe (this includes Wikibooks) content.

There are also many copyrighted resources whose licensing terms are liberal enough that they can generally be used as well. For these, see free or semi-free non-Public-Domain information resources and GNU Free Documentation license resources (includes images).

This page is intended as a list of only true public domain text resources. For public domain images, see public domain image resources.

CAVEAT: Because there is no concept of public domain in Japan's copyright law, even though the materials are claimed public domain, there can be some restrictions such as about commercial use, which has a conflict with GFDL. Also, unlike the United States, most English speaking commonwealth countries exert Crown copyright. Please make certain that in any particular jurisdiction government agencies will allow you to copy materials without permission.

India government sites also seem to be copyright by default. Quoting from : ''Unless otherwise stated, copyright and all intellectual property rights in all material presented on the site (including but not limited to text, audio, video or graphical images), trademarks and logos appearing on this site are the property of Government of Maharashtra and are protected under applicable Indian laws. Any infringement shall be vigorously defended and pursued to the fullest extent permitted by law.''

Please don't data dump!
The resources below are valuable, but many are very old, context-dependent, written from biased points of view, and otherwise are not in themselves good encyclopedia articles. The 1911 encyclopedia discussed below is a good example of this - it contains some useful information, but also antiquated writing style and innumerable errors of fact.

So please, if you copy material from these sources, make sure you take some time to verify the actuality of the information, edit, update, introduce, or otherwise produce a good article out of it rather than just dumping it here verbatim. But if you can't do that, put it in anyway because somebody else will come by and tweak it. Wikibooks books are living texts, because everybody has the power to edit them. An entry that starts out incorrect, as a stub or even as something very inane will eventually be tweaked and evolve into something much more sophisticated.

US Government

 * Most publications of the United States Federal Government. Under the Federal Copyright Act material that is originated by the Federal government is not subject to copyright.  In some cases, material may originate with a private contractor which assigns the copyright to the agency.  However, material that is generated by the Federal government which doesn't have a notice can be copied. Entries below marked "(US Federal Govt.)" belong to this category. Note this only applies to the *Federal* government.  United States state governments can copyright materials.

Canadian Government

 * While the Canadian government claims Crown copyright there are images archives at the National Library of Canada that are in the public domain. They include:
 * Early Images of Canada 550 images

 * 1911 Encyclopedia A scanned version of the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica. The OCR quality is not very high. Some articles end in the middle and continue on the next page. The writing style is antiquated and archaic, contains a fair amount of bias, and the material contains many factual errors. Anything taken from here needs extensive fact-checking and editing.

The Jewish Encyclopedia, which recently became part of the public domain, contains over 15,000 articles and illustrations. This online version contains the unedited contents of the original encyclopedia. Since the original work was completed almost 100 years ago, it does not cover a significant portion of modern Jewish History (e.g., the creation of Israel, the Holocaust, etc.). However, it does contain an incredible amount of information that is remarkably relevant today.

 * We are considering inviting the Internet community to help us update the encyclopedia -- if you are interested in volunteering (as a writer, editor, etc.) please join our Mailing List. By putting this important work on the Internet, we hope to improve the quality of Jewish information available online -- and stimulate new discussion. Therefore, we have sections "Discussion Forums" and "Internet Links" which allow our visitors to converse and identify related websites.

 * A Pronouncing dictionary of Biography and Mythology. Contains a large number (10000+) short NPOV biographical entries many of which could be copied and pasted to form stubs (due to its focus it contains information on many 19th and 18th century figures not yet covered in Wikibooks).

Geometry/Vertical Angles

Vertical angles are a pair of angles with a common vertex whose sides form opposite rays. An extensively useful fact about vertical angles is that they are congruent. Aside from saying that any pair of vertical angles "obviously" have the same measure by inspection, we can prove this fact with some simple algebra and an observation about supplementary angles.  Let two lines intersect at a point, and angles A1 and A2 be a pair of vertical angles thus formed. At the point of intersection, two other angles are also formed, and we'll call either one of them B1 without loss of generality. Since B1 and A1 are supplementary, we can say that the measure of B1 plus the measure of A1 is 180. Similarly, the measure of B1 plus the measure of A2 is 180. Thus the measure of A1 plus the measure of B1 equals the measure of A2 plus the measure of B1, by substitution. Then by subracting the measure of B1 from each side of this equality, we have that the measure of A1 equals the measure of A2.

Neverwinter Nights (1991 video game)

Neverwinter Nights was an early graphical multiplayer online role-playing game, which ran from 1991 to 1997 on AOL.

Gameplay
Neverwinter Nights was developed with gameplay similar to previous games in the Gold Box series. Players began by creating a character. After creating the character, gameplay took place on a screen that displayed text interactions, the names and current status of one's party of characters, and a window which displayed images of geography marked with various pictures of characters or events. When combat occurred, gameplay switched to full-screen combat mode, in which a player's characters and enemies were represented by icons which moved around in the course of battle.

Development
Neverwinter Nights was a co-development of AOL, Beyond Software, SSI, and TSR. It was the first multiplayer online role-playing game to display graphics.

Don Daglow and the Beyond Software game design team began working with AOL on original online games in 1987, in both text-based and graphical formats. At the time AOL was a Commodore 64 only online service, known as Quantum Computer Services, with just a few thousand subscribers, and was called Quantum Link. Online graphics in the late 1980s were severely restricted by the need to support modem data transfer rates as slow as 300 bits per second (bit/s).

In 1989 the Beyond Software team started working with SSI on Dungeons & Dragons games using the Gold Box engine that had debuted with Pool of Radiance in 1988. Within months they realized that it was technically feasible to combine the Dungeons & Dragons Gold Box engine with the community-focused gameplay of online titles to create an online role-playing video game with graphics although the multiplayer graphical flight combat game Air Warrior (also from Kesmai) had been online since 1987; all prior online RPGs had been based on text.

In a series of meetings in San Francisco and Las Vegas with AOL's Steve Case and Kathi McHugh, TSR's Jim Ward and SSI's Chuck Kroegel, Daglow and programmer Cathryn Mataga convinced the other three partners that the project was indeed possible. Case approved funding for NWN and work began with the game going live 18 months later in March 1991.

Daglow chose Neverwinter as the game's location because of its magical features (a river of warm water that flowed from a snowy forest into a northern sea), and its location near a wide variety of terrain types. The area also was close enough to the settings of the other Gold Box games to allow subplots to intertwine between the online and the disk-based titles.

America Online closed down the online game world on July 19, 1997. The company also said it would start a new games channel called World Play, which would cost two dollars per hour to play. Neverwinter Nights was the only game in the company's roster which did not make the transition to the new service.

Critical reception
The game was reviewed in 1992 in Dragon #179 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 4 out of 5 stars. Computer Gaming World wrote that "fans of the Gold Box series know what to expect ... and the human element makes it that much better".

According to GameSpy "with hundreds of loyal players all adventuring in the same city between 1991 and 1997 when AOL pulled the plug, politics, guilds, and alliances quickly formed a social community that was far more important than the actual game".

In 2008 Neverwinter Nights was honored (along with EverQuest and World of Warcraft) at the 59th Annual Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards for advancing the art form of MMORPG games. Don Daglow accepted the award for project partners Beyond Software, AOL and Wizards of the Coast.

Commercial performance
The capacity of each server grew from 50 players in 1991 to 500 players by 1995. Ultimately, the game became a free part of the AOL subscriber service. Near the end of its run in 1997, the game had 115,000 players and typically hosted 2,000 adventurers during prime evening hours, a 4,000% increase over 1991.

Legacy
Much of the game's popularity was based on the presence of active and creative player guilds, who staged many special gaming events online for their members. It is this committed fan base that BioWare sought when they licensed the rights to Neverwinter Nights from AOL and TSR as the basis for the later Neverwinter Nights game.

NWN gained incidental media attention from AOL tech and marketing staff by appearing in the Don't Copy That Floppy campaign by the Software Publishers Association.

In 1998, development work began on a fanmade clone of Neverwinter Nights called Forgotten World, which opened for play in 2003. , though its website and forums remain operational, the game server itself was last online in 2015.

An offline, singleplayer version of the game remained available for download, but it does not allow saving progress since the servers were shut down.

After the release of BioWare's non-MMO Neverwinter Nights game in 2002, a group of former Neverwinter Nights players used the Aurora toolset included with the new game to reconstruct the content of the original Neverwinter Nights and host it online as a multiplayer game, albeit with limited player capacity. Neverwinter Nights: Resurrection was modestly successful early on in drawing former Neverwinter Nights players, but player numbers dwindled over the years as online gaming options expanded and the underlying game technology aged. A post on IGN from the game's host revealed that Neverwinter Nights: Resurrection shut down its servers on July 31, 2012.

In 2012 a single-player conversion of Neverwinter Nights was released for Unlimited Adventures after two years of development.

A number of games set in and around the city of Neverwinter were later released: Neverwinter Nights (2002), Neverwinter Nights 2 (2006), and Neverwinter (2013).

Ruth Bowen

Ruth Jean Bowen ( Baskerville, later Bryant or Bowen-Bryant; September 13, 1924 – April 21, 2009) was the first black female talent agent and the president of Queen Booking Corporation, the largest Black-owned entertainment and talent agency in the world. It represented many of the United States' top African-American performers.

Early life and education
Ruth Jean Baskerville was born to Marion Baskerville and Claude Carlton on September 13, 1924, in Danville, Virginia. Her mother was African-American and French and her father was an English-born Irishman. She grew up with three older white half-sisters and her brother James Edward Goode. She attended Westmoreland Elementary School and Langston High School in Danville before moving with her family to Brooklyn, New York, where she attended Girls' High School. She studied at New York University for two years before getting married.

Career
After marrying in 1944, she initially gained hands-on experience in the entertainment industry by handling her husband Billy Bowen's business affairs. A singer, he was one of the original members of The Ink Spots, and toured with them around the country in the 1940s and 1950s.

Bowen really started her career via an introduction to singer Dinah Washington; there are two versions of their first meeting. According to one source, while on tour with her husband and the Ink Spots in Pittsburgh, Bowen spotted Washington's tour bus and her husband introduced them. Another story is that "Major Robinson, a nationally syndicated columnist, introduced Bowen to Dinah Washington in 1945." Both sources seem to agree, however, that this initial meeting is what led to Bowen becoming Washington's personal publicist and manager. While working with Washington and her booking agent, Joe Glaser, Bowen learned a great deal about the entertainment industry in general, and about booking artists more specifically.

Using David Dinkins as her lawyer (he was later elected as mayor of New York City), Bowen got her booking license from the State of New York. Together with Washington, she started a booking agency, Queen Artists, in 1959. By 1964, after the death of Washington, Bowen renamed her company as the Queen Booking Corporation. She handled all types of talent, from "...individual singers to soul-rock groups to gospel choirs to comedians."

QBC represented, among others, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Sammy Davis Jr., the Isley Brothers, Dionne Warwick, The Four Tops, Kool and the Gang, Bobby Womack, and Teddy Pendergrass.

Personal life
Ruth Bowen married William "Billy" Bowen, one of the original members of The Ink Spots, in 1944. They were married until his death in 1982.

She married again, to Clarence "Billy" Bryant. Bowen died at the age of 84 on April 21, 2009, in New York City after battling brain cancer. When she died, she was survived by Bryant, her brother James Edward Goode, and sister-in-law Jean.

ex-Beatles?
I notice some effort underway to "stub un-sort" songs by former Beatles out of this category. As the parent is an oversized category, might it not be useful to explicitly rescope this stub type to include such works? Alai 04:25, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Possibly. Can you raise the question at WT:Beatles? I think it's probably us doing that. It's more likely to get noticed there than here though. + +Lar: t/c 03:09, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Final Fantasy/Archive/9

Articles for the Wikipedia 1.0 project
Hi, I'm a member of the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. We recently began assessing using these criteria, and we are looking for A-class, B-class, and Good articles, with no POV or copyright problems. Can you recommend any suitable articles? Please post your suggestions here. Thanks a lot! Gflores Talk 17:40, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Spira for sure. It's better than good!PiccoloNamek 23:16, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a good one; I just added it to the good articles list. Deckiller 23:17, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Final Fantasy VI was almost featured and List of Final Fantasy titles is a featured list. IMO, these are our best two articles. Final Fantasy is also in pretty good shape. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 23:26, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the replies. I've added them here... Keep the suggestions coming! :) Gflores Talk 23:55, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Does this project not cover lists? --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 12:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I had initially thought no, but it turns out, we do cover lists. Feel free to add them or if you're too busy, I'll add them later today. Thanks. Gflores Talk 19:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Newly added articles
A number of new articles have been added recently to the 'project space'. Please could we ensure the project Index is kept up to date! >Gamemaker 12:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yep, I'll crawl Wikipedia soon and see to about updating that. — Cua HL 17:29, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

WPFF peer review
Hi there. Just a quick question. Do you think the Project is benefitting from the peer review? I mean, no one uses it, and while I've been thinking about the project, I was thinking maybe we could change it into a collaboration of the fortnight/month. Much like what CVG have going on here (gaming collaboration) and here (improvement drive). Maybe if I changed the review into something similar, we could all help each other better? Give me your feedback please. Hope you're all well :D — Cua HL 17:29, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think our Review section gets much 'advertising' - its possible that not all contributors know about it. Perhaps a few more notices/links to it dotted around the project pages might help (the articles listed 'for improvement' on the ToDo page could perhaps be added to Review by default?). Incidentally it would probably make sense to havea means to archive some of the older discussion on the Review page (like the Spira debate) once its concluded; I did some experimental tidy-up over there a while back but that feature's still lacking. >Gamemaker 23:11, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you not think we'd benefit from focusing on one article every 2 weeks? — Cua HL 23:17, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Can everyone please please give an opinion on this. — Cua HL 13:14, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I haven't participated in an 'article drive' so I'm not the best one to comment. I'd say go for it and see how it goes. One possible downside, given the current lull in project activity, might be that the need to debate issues with other editors would require a higher level of participation than people can afford right now. Articles might become the province of whomever can spare the most time rather than whomever could provide the best input. >Gamemaker 13:33, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Final Fantasy XIII article
A user has added a Final Fantasy XIII article. I think this is premature and I have sent it to AfD. Opinions welcome. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 20:59, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Agree - the XII article was enough of a crystal ball last time I looked (I'm not looking anymore as I don't want Spoilers). >Gamemaker 23:10, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I should have said, opinions welcome on the AfD page. ;) --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 23:11, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Review of the Character Class articles
For those who aren't aware, there's a Review in progress on these articles, and its reached the point where input from other users would be of use. Please take a looksee, or another one, if you already have, and see if there's anything you can add - cheers! >Gamemaker 23:46, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

FFX-2 Characters
So long as Gamemaker's bringing up one thing from the "To do" list, I'll bring up another. It was proposed -- apparently some time ago -- that Nooj, Gippal and Shuyin's pages be merged into the List of Final Fantasy X-2 characters page.

Anyone have an opinion on these things? As I've noted on the talk page for the X-2 characters list, I don't really think any of these three have the notability to warrant their own page, especially not Gippal and Nooj. Shuyin's the only one who really might warrant his own page.

Gippal's info could easily be summarized and incorporated into the list page without losing anything relevant, and Nooj's could be shortened easily, as well, despite how big it looks (half of its fancruft that we could chop off and not miss).

The only one I'm hesitant to think about getting rid of is Shuyin's page. There's more to say about him than any of the other new characters in X-2, and there is some good information on his page. That said, so much of his information directly relates to the rest of the cast of X-2 and its main events that all the info can easily be maintained on the character list and the main X-2 page amongst the respective characters and the story summary. That said, if his page were merged, it should be first copied to the FF wiki.

If anyone's got anything to add, please do so on the character list talk page. And now, with all that said, I'll head over to the Job Class pages to see if I can help out any there.

P.S. Don't worry, Cuahl; I'm in no hurry with this particular project. Ryu Kaze 16:14, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree on the idea of a merge - I feel they can all be thrown into one article, and that it would actually be beneficial if they were. — Cua HL 22:01, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, if there's no objections, I'll get on this in the next 12 hours. Ryu Kaze 18:40, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Doesn't look like anyone's out to object :) — Cua HL 21:41, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

 * So it would seem. I've carried out the execution. Ryu Kaze 01:17, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

List of Final Fantasy XI characters
If anyone's interested, can someone please proof List of Final Fantasy XI characters? I've given it a major overhaul, rewriting most paragraphs, tagging sections as stubs, creating a new TOC, alphabetising the list.. etc. If someone could expand the stubs or read through and add something to the quality of the article, that would be great. I'll also throw this on the WPFF Todo. — Cua HL 22:01, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Lunar Cry notice
Someone created a Lunar Cry page...Deckiller 21:16, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hm. I can see the potential reasoning for this.. I might pad this one out if I have time tonight. — Cua HL 21:43, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * No, wait. There'll be nowhere near enough information for an article. Second thoughts suggest an article called List of Final Fantasy VIII terms (ala List of Final Fantasy VII terms) or simply make a big ass List of Final Fantasy terms article? — Cua HL 22:08, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, the Xenosaga games have the following lists: minor characters, protagonists, antagonists, planets, organizations, starships, and other terms. I might be forgetting one or two ^ ^. I think each game in the series should have a list of terms like the List of terms in Xenosaga.
 * This really isn't notable enough for inclusion. The article should be transwikied to the Final Fantasy Wiki and deleted. Send to AfD? or can we transwiki without doing that? --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 22:48, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd say transwiki and redirect. Deckiller 23:28, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It's littered with inaccuracies; if it's going to be transwikied it needs correcting first. >Gamemaker 10:11, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Pretty good idea. Right now, though we only have lists for FFVII and FFX.  I'd consider an FFVI one to be made next (as both Magitek and War of the Magi got merged), but that's just me.  If anyone wants to start this list for any game, by all means go for it. Crazyswordsman 00:40, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Spira
Just thought I'd bring it to the attention of anyone who wasn't aware that there's some folks who are proposing some rather radical changes to the Spira page. One of them comes off as disrespectful in my opinion (Nnfolz), because of how selective his responses are, and it seems to me he's pretty much decided on what he wants to do with the page and like he isn't willing to listen to what anyone else has to say, so... if you're at all interested, stop by. Ryu Kaze 21:28, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

 * There's no reason to make it so personal. I don't agree with the proposals either but I believe they're made in good faith. >Gamemaker 21:39, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm not making it personal, Game. As I said over there, I also think it's in good faith, but good faith does not equte to respectful, nor does it suggest that the proposals are good. I'm just bringing it to the attention of anyone who wants to weigh in on it. Ryu Kaze 21:48, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

By the way, to summarize the matter, they're basically proposing that Spira be made a navigation page for "Blitzball," "Mythology of Final Fantasy X", "Al Bhed language", and a new "List of Final Fantasy X locations" page when we already have a navbox at the bottom of each page that links all those pages together. Ryu Kaze 22:08, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Just to offer an update, the user Flooch has suggested we drop the backstory info on FFX, and just focus on making Spira serve as a location page altogether. In all honesty, despite how much I like that page, I have to agree with him. We're omitting blitzball, religion and language sections on the basis that we've got them adequately described elsewhere, so it is kind of a double-standard to leave a history section in there, loath as I am to admit it.

 * It really would be the only fair thing to do, and it would prevent potential ambiguity that results in these sorts of issues and it would work more toward making the page consistent with the other FF location pages. We also might want to change the name to "List of Final Fantasy X locations" and make "Spira" a redirect. For consistency's sake, and fairness' sake -- as well as sanity's sake -- this might be the right way to go, personal feelings aside.

 * By the way, if we do this, Vana'diel should probably get the same treatment and be renamed "List of Final Fantasy XI locations." Please offer your thoughts. Ryu Kaze 10:23, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The article is supposed to be named what most people will search for it as. Spira is very notable in that way, and renaming it "List of Final Fantasy X locations" doesn't attribute to that guideline. The same goes for Vana'diel. If those two were changed, that would leave Ivalice, which can't be called "List of Final Fantasy XII locations" because its the location of three games in the series. ~ Hibana 23:16, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree with that. At the least, though, we should continue to explore the other suggestions. See the Spira talk page for more. Ryu Kaze 23:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

 * To anyone who has more to add, it seems we're about ready to get into the actual process, so if there's anything else that anyone wants to add, please do so. Ryu Kaze 03:14, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, we've gone ahead and settled up the issue. The backstory info has been removed from Spira, with the "Eternal Calm"/"Spira in the present" info being added to Mythology of Final Fantasy X. The wording in Spira was then tightened into a past tense narrative with events occurring in X or X-2 being identified as such within each location's section. The page name "Spira" has been left intact, and the format of the Mythology page has been adapted to better suit its current status as being the page that bears the history of Spira. If there are any comments or criticisms of these changes, please either place them here, or on the appropriate talk page between the two pages that have been altered. Thanks. Ryu Kaze 22:11, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Ultimecia
When was Ultimecia nominated to be un-merged from List of Final Fantasy VIII characters? Or was it not? If not, some folks -- like Seancdaug -- will know this is probably a bad thing. If there was never a formal nomination, I recommend an immediate redirect. Ryu Kaze 15:42, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. This unmerge was performed without concensous. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 16:15, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Agree. There's also some interesting information that I think could be worthy of preserving on the List, such as the several paragraphs about Ultimecia's motivations, which I never fully understood until now! Flooch 23:57, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Re-merged, although it was very well written and informative so the majority of the text was kept. Kudos to Ceptizzy and <IP_ADDRESS>. Flooch 00:27, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

FFVIII story summary
Hey. Over on the Final Fantasy VIII page, Gamemaker, Deckiller and I discussed revising the story summary so as to allow the Lunar Cry page to better fit there when merged, and we've got a new story summary ready. Check out the page and see if it's to your liking. Ryu Kaze 18:30, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry to say, but for me, it isn't. I sounds like you're plugging the game and using exaggerative language. This should be a section detailing events and not necessarily describing them. The use of words like "warmongering" for example. The other thing it does is introduce the characters, yet the article already does that earlier on. I'm sorry, you must have put some work into tuning this, but it feels so out of context to the article. Sounds nice though — Cua HL  ☺  20:31, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Could you be a little more specific, Cuahl? I think I follow what you mean by "exaggerative" language (flowery adjectives?), and there's a few points where I overdid that, maybe. I'll look through to see if there's any that seem unnecessary to me, and if you can point out some specific ones I miss, that would be helpful too.

 * I think I follow what you mean by "detailing events instead of describing" them, but I only do that -- I think -- with the part where Rinoa's left in space. Everything else is just rather matter of factly saying that these things occurred, seeing as how there's so many events that I'm not even touching on. Things that talk about Squall's changes are integral, however, to both the plot and an understanding of the game. That's as core an aspect -- intentionally so -- as the concept of sorceresses. When the point's even made in-game that "You're going to die, vanish from existance, unless you accept your need for others and believe in that" it's hard -- if not impossible -- to seperate that from a summary of the plot. This FF is unique in that we spend the entire game in Squall's head, making his transitions a consistently-lively part of everything that's happening.

 * But, anyway, take this, for instance:

"With their powerful bonds of friendship and love for one another serving as both their anchor to life and their strength, Squall and his friends unite to defeat Ultimecia once and for all, ending her reign of terror at last."

 * That's not just flowery talk here. That's actually describing the plot. The point is made before the characters attempt to go to Ultimecia's era that they have to focus on each other, on their love for one another, their need for each other, and imagine being together somewhere in order to continue to exist in Time Compression. That's why when they fall in battle with Ultimecia, they'll vanish if they don't get revived soon. Without the reciprocation of focus, the chain is broken where they're concerned, and they drift off, absorbed into Time Compression. In a story that takes love, fate and friendship beyond just being abstract concepts and makes them active forces in what's taking place, it's impossible to distinguish such wording from a summary of the plot.

 * By the way, what do you mean about the section introducing characters already introduced? The characters section comes after the story summary, and was set-up that way before I began editing the article. I'm not sure what you mean, as none of the character's names but Rinoa's pops up before the story summary.

 * Glad that it sounds good, at least, but could you give it another look and give me some more specific feedback, please? In the meantime, I'll see if I can trim some of the fluff. Thanks for the feedback, thus far. Ryu Kaze 21:44, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Deckiller's just informed me he's going to give it a quick run-through, so I'll hold off on doing anything until after he's done. Ryu Kaze 21:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I see where you're coming from. It's a good description, I'm not denying that, its just I feel it could be less flowery (as you said). For example, you said "With their powerful bonds of friendship and love for one another serving as both their anchor to life and their strength, Squall and his friends unite to defeat Ultimecia once and for all, ending her reign of terror at last.".. which could instead be Squall and friends defeat Ultimecia due to their powerful bonds of friendship and lover for one another providing an anchor to reality. I'm not very good at describing what I'm trying to say, but I hope you can see that my rewording is a little more.. matter of fact? I dunno, maybe I should just leave it up to the experts that can actually speak English :D — Cua HL  ☺  22:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I'm gonna read through it in a second. However, the key to the plot summary is to be succinct and describe major events, so while some emotional issues are key plot devices, we have to be careful that we don't explain too many minor events/give the major events excessive covereage. Deckiller 22:08, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay, point taken, Cuahl. Something like that would work much better. See what you can make of it, Deck. Ryu Kaze 22:46, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * How does it look? Deckiller 23:04, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Very well done, man. There's just a few things, I'd change, mainly dealing with wording and breaking the penultimate paragraph in half. Ryu Kaze 23:16, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * To emphasise, it's a lot better like this. Much more what we really want. If it's okay, though, I'll tighten those few points I mentioned. Ryu Kaze 23:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah. I took care of the paragraph, though some of the wording could probably be fixed, I agree. You're the english major, I'm the 17 year old newbie writer :) Deckiller 23:20, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Give yourself more credit than that, man. XD I'd much rather have you as a colleague than some of the people I do work with. Ryu Kaze 23:24, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Lol, thanks ^_^. I'm just glad we have some great writers working for this project. Deckiller 23:26, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Agreed. Count yourself among them. Alright, I've given it another sprucing. See what you make of it, guys. Ryu Kaze 23:35, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Looks great, I think we're set. Now all we have to do is cite some sources and fix the criticism section and we can self-nom this as a GA. Deckiller 00:06, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Perfect. Quality editing, guys :D — Cua HL  ☺  00:11, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks, Cuahl, and thanks again for your quality feedback. I'll try to go through and add references where needed and fix-up the Criticism section sometime soon. Still got to work on that Final Fantasy magic stuff. Ryu Kaze 00:29, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Hey guys, I might have to go underground again for the next day or so as I continue to get my life together. I'm going to be an adult (turning 18) next week, and therefore, I must get a job, finish up college issues, and so on. Deckiller 00:30, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Only for next week? You're lucky, some of us have to be an adult full-time. :D I jest. We all have our real-life things to deal with, so best wishes, and don't forget about us. Even just to say hi on the community talk page :P — Cua HL  ☺  00:41, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Edit: Haha, I just read your "clarification" edit. I was only joking, I assumed it might be your birthday. Best wishes for the day, whenever it may be :D *looks to WPFF Calendar, but remembers no one's birthday's on there* — Cua HL  ☺  01:06, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Lol, ^_^ thanks! Deckiller 02:05, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Good luck with all that, Deck, and -- take it from an adult -- always keep Kid Deck a part of you. Take care and see you around. Ryu Kaze 03:03, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

This is a film project put on by our film production company, these are the basic premises of a new modern/independent film we are making. It is just about college life/discussions in the modern era. It's a project for our school, we thought the ideas/rhetoric of common college students would be educational and deserved to be up on wikipedia.
