Talk:Guitar

Comments from 2004
I beg to differ on the statement that very few pieces are written specifically for the classical guitar, and that most are originally written for the lute and piano. You are referring mostly to music from the baroque period. There are now many classical works which are written for the guitar, including concertos, such as those by Rodrigo. Villa-Lobos, Barrios, etc, all wrote for the classical guitar.

Title should be more specific, e.g. "Rudimentary Guitar" -- Daniel

Hehe, yeah, I didn't know where I was going with it when I created it. It looks, though, like it's going to (attempt to) be a complete reference from a learner's perspective, rather than be a lesson-oriented book. I haven't settled on a title yet, myself, but of course anybody is welcome to suggest one.

BTW, do you really think we need a chapter on standard notation? The whole idea of standard notation is that it's not limited to guitar (in fact, it was rather designed for piano, IIRC), and very little of it is specific to guitar. Usually standard notation is presented along with tablature in music books for guitar, so the necessary information can probably be presented there. Because standard notation is not trivial to explain, either, I don't think it belongs here. Perhaps somebody could start a music theory book and include it there, and our book can link to it.

--Furrykef 11:14, 1 May 2004 (UTC)

I see your point, but I still think there should be chapter explaining standard notation, even if no further use of it is made in this book. As you say yourself, standard notation applies to all music, not just guitar, which makes it extra useful to learn, not less so; learning guitar means learning about music, and a large proportion of the skills and knowledge here transfer directly to other instruments, which is a good thing. For instance, almost all of this guitar book applies to bass guitar as well (I was considering adding little comments explaining where something does not apply to bass, and pointing out in the intro that this book also teaches bass). Furthermore, even for guitar itself it's extremely useful: you've referred to classical guitar a number of times and that will always require an understanding of standard notation, plus in many contexts outside of pop-rock guitar it's an essential skill. I haven't changed the text back to include the stub for standard notation, I'll wait till we finish discussing it, but I really, really think it belongs here and should be explained.

--Daniel 19:14, 1 May 2004 (UTC)

 * How about we rename the tablature chapter to something like "Music notation", and on the TOC add a note saying "tablature and standard notation"? I agree with you that the learning of standard notation is essential, but it's a bit of a separate problem than learning to play the guitar. Of course, as you pointed out, it's still important regardless, but this leaves us with a dilemma: the inevitable duplication of information. Somebody else might write a book about the violin, and then somebody starts writing about the piano, then yet another person starts writing about music theory. All of these should have some information on standard notation -- but we don't want to say the same things in different places, because it takes more effort for no gain. So I'm saying we should find a common place to put it and then cross-reference it instead of putting it in the guitar book. See what I mean?

 * --Furrykef 00:29, 2 May 2004 (UTC)

 * I'm fine with that. So let's have a "Music notation" chapter, which can be essentially what the tablature chapter is now, and we'll add at the bottom a (very) brief explanation of standard notation with a reference to a more general-purpose lesson on standard notation (which can be created later). Sound good?

 * --Daniel 10:46, 2 May 2004 (UTC)

"Advanced techniques"? I'd classify them all as "beginner" techniques; intermediate at a stretch. -- Jimregan 21:43, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

I started writing the music theory book.

--Furrykef 22:21, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

Im the one who started Guitar:Philosophy thread, mostly as a non-technical idea, to fill in the gaps that the other book does not cover. You can get a sense of that from the outline. Me: Ive been playing guitar for about 20 years, I have perfect pitch, and am more into structured jamming, going into differring styles of play. I dont read notation, but I do well with chord charts, and short notated motifs and phrases.

I have lots of other interests, but the book idea seems like a good one. I didnt mean to imply a replacement for the existing text, I just had some thoughts and insights as to what might be a good way to frame the idea of being a guitar player. -Slide 16:40, 27 May 2004 (UTC)

Lesson oriented book?
Sorry to start a new discussion here, but are there plans for a lesson orientated book? The guitar book in its current form seems like little help to a complete novice. Heres a layout that might make a good start for an absolute beginners book:

The Guitar -> Acoustic -> Electric -> Further Reading (links to History of Guitar, How guitars make noise, Famous Guitarists. etc) Holding the Guitar -> Left Hand Position -> Right Hand Finger Picking Position -> Right Hand Holding the Pick Music Theory: Notes -> Notes -> Notes on the fretboard -> Tips to help eventually memorize all the notes on the fretboard Song Notation -> Tab -> Classic Practice Songs -> Simple songs constructed of notes (this will be hard due to copyrights) -> Suggestions of good tabs on the internet Music Theory: Chords -> Basic Chord theory (should link to Music Theory for more information) copy -> Basic Chords (and how to finger them) -> A maj, C maj, D Maj, G Maj, E Maj, C min, D min, E min, A min Practice Songs -> Simple songs using Chords (again, hard to find good stuff due to copyrights) -> Suggestions of good tabs on the internet Further Learning (reference to a sequal wikibook, Music Theory, Favorite Guitar Books) Conclusions Pep talk closing speech.

Again this would focus on only the very basics, emphasis on trying to get the learning playing some simple songs, without fear that they're method is incorrect. This book would hint at things like scales and chord construction techniques and rythm, without going into detail. These topics would be covered in follow up material.

I haven't started any information because I would hate to 'fork' the guitar book project. What are your opinions on this book layout?

 * I myself like the idea, and do not think that a fork is that bad an idea. I actually was about to do the same thing, when I read your post.  The lesson-oriented book, called "guitar lessons" or something, would more complement this book than fork it.  They would cross-reference each other whenever possible, and though they would unavoidably repeat much of the same information (which isn't a wiki-sin) the lesson book would be much more oriented towards learning and ordered differently.  While there are good lesson sites out there already, none of them are wikis, and many have a slant towards one genre.  Also, it would be nice to have a lesson book, that, if good, would eliminate the need to wade through the "trial/pay lessons" and money shams (there are a lot of them).  The wiki could link to good lessons elsewhere on the net.

 * That said, we would not have to rewrite this book, and we can link to this book whenever it makes sense.

 * Assuming there is decent support for it, I will continue. If someone decides to make one, I will contribute a lot.  But I'd rather someone else started one.

It exists already a guitar course with complete very detailed and beginner-friendly lessons on the German Wikibooks. I had offered months before already my assistance, but it did not seem to exist any interest. You only would have to transferred these lessons only into the English (by Alta Vista babel fish),  and after this  you need a stylistic revise. I would crib myself from in response with you, as their it makes better, and surly I could brush up my English. on the other hand you could still fill my gaps, and I can copy your ideas for the German.Example1, Example 2 Songs without copyright ... You can contact me, if it are interested in a co-operation with germany. I could likewise use each assistance for the German project. user Mjchael de.wikibooks.org --Mjchael 13:26, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. I can't read any of it, but it looks detailed and complete.  I haven't checked this place in a while because noone responded.  I can see right now that Babelfish will not help much at all, the page makes no sense, so we will have to write it all over again anyway.  I'll work on it some more now (I'd forgotten about it) and we can fact-swap so that both the English and German versions have all the information in them.  I know about six words in german, so I can't really translate anything, nor can I navigate the page.  But, we can do it somehow.  Soon enough, this book will be on par with all the other lesson sites on the internet, hopefully.

Guitar woods
I believe there should be some info on specific guitar constructions and materials, because these offer vastly different sounds for the guitar. Guitarists and potential luthiers would both appreciate the addition. --Alexnye 06:42, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Styles
I added a 'Styles' section to the main page. I thought the book needed one. I put them in alphabetical order. Feel free to add whatever other genres you think could use a page ( as if I needed to tell you that!), but I think it would be best if the categories were kept broad.

Images
In my opinion, this book seriously lacks images and schemes - how to grab guitar, play certain chords etc. Take a look at German book - they have many graphics. If you like graphics there, please move them to Commons. If you don't know how - no problem, I can help. You can also check some photos already being there on Guitar page and category. --Derbeth talk 20:01, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

 * One step further, find a bilingual german/english Wikipedian and a Wikipedian whose native language is the opposite of this Wikipedian (so a German who speaks English and a native English speaker, or vice versa; two bilinguals of opposing native languages works best) that will volunteer to do an exhaustive quality check. Read the whole of both books, discuss them, eliminate the weaknesses from both and combine their strengths, and make each a direct translation of the other.  Doing this with two bilinguals will actually produce the best results. --Bluefoxicy (talk) 03:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Electric guitar mods
I recently started learning to play the guitar and wound up grabbing a large amount of equipment for cheap, including:

 * $150 Epiphone Les Paul Special 2
 * New push-pull pots (500k,500k to replace 300k,500k)
 * New pickups
 * Two capacitors (0.022uF, 0.047uF)
 * New tuning machines (locking)

I have a number of things I can play with now, such as:

 * 1) Cap mod:  Pull tone pot to switch from 0.022uF to 0.047uF
 * 2) Split coil:  Pull vol pot to switch from Humbucker to Single Coil
 * 3) Series mode:  Pull vol pot to place the coils in series instead of parallel
 * 4) Phase switch:  Pull vol pot to switch the phase on one pickup
 * 5) High protection:  Add 560pF cap and 300k resistor in parallel across the hot leads of vol pot

Mod (1) uses the tone pot, and mod (5) stands on its own; mods (2), (3), and (4) use the Vol pot and I can only do one.

Mod (1) will allow a mode where the tone pot kills more of the highs, giving a darker sound when pulled.

Mod (2) will give a single-coil sound, but eliminate the noise removal.

Mod (3) will give a mode that produces a brighter sound.

Mod (4) may produce a unique, "nasal" sound; or it may just cancel the sound.

Mod (5) protects high frequencies. When turning up the volume, the higher frequencies sometimes do not increase in volume as fast as the lower frequencies (my pickups specifically cause this situation); the RC circuit here prevents this, so the volume control works more smoothly across all frequencies instead of leaving the highs behind.

After a lot of googling, I will probably go with mods (1), (4), and (5); yet I have not quite determined how mods (2), (3), and (4) will actually affect the instrument. A section of the Wikibook devoted to explaining the guitar's internal electronics and how they affect sound, along with possible modifications controlled by various switches, may prove interesting. Not so much of a list of possible projects, but more a list of more general theory like what phase switching does and how the impedance of multiple coils affects their interaction; what various capacitors do; what changing the vol and tone pots does (500k vol + 1M tone == brighter sound than 500k + 500k, where a 1M + 1M might just cause noise if the pickup won't handle the 1M vol pot...).

I also threw on some locking tuners and some locking strap holders. Not quite sure how this fits in with the above but it's fascinating. --Bluefoxicy (talk) 03:48, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Feel free to create a page about guitar modification, I'm sure other readers would be interested in reading/contributing their knowledge on the subject. --NickPenguin (talk) 02:21, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

How can I play the B chord (Blues)?
I'm sorry, but I can absolutely not spread my fingers so that I could play the a string at the second and the d string at the sixth fret simultaneously (the the section about Blues). Does anyone have tips for me how I could manage it? Which fingers shall I use? The other chords, A and E, are no problem, but this one (B) is very tricky for me... --Jayk (talk) 19:34, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Your question is old, however: you could take B7. It's no barree chord! On http://chords.buschhausen.eu/vol1/ you can look at the fingering. Barree chords in the I. and II. fret are not easy for beginners. I let my students start barree playing with chords in the V. fret... http://chords.buschhausen.eu/vol2/ sorry, written in my native language but the PDF tablature and the playalong MP3 file are international.

Just one comment from a nobody...
This book is very very very blues and rock oriented. Leaving aside that rock guitar may not be the best way of teaching guitar to a novice regardless of the guitar style he's aiming at (I'm not a teacher and I don't know nothing about teaching, I personally think that a classic guitar player will easily learn to play rock music whereas a rock player will learn classical pieces with extreme difficulties), it should at least be mentioned at the beginning of the book that what is presented here is at the moment the most popular way of approaching guitar playing, but by no means the best.

The Guitar handbook by Denyer
It would be great if this wikibook can be improved to the level of the book

The-Guitar-Handbook-Ralph-Denyer

.Condmatstrel (discuss • contribs) 04:10, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

 * It is an excellent book and contains a vast amount of information that would be useful to any gutarist . Contains information ranging from stringing and cleaning guitars to scale theory. However I've removed the Amazon link for the simple reason of allowing the student to source the book themselves. E-bay, second-hand bookshops, discount book stores, etc. All of these may prove to be cheaper. I feel it is only fair not to guide any reader to a single "buy site" site regardless of the reason that the editor who provided the original link may have had.

--Sluffs (discuss • contribs) 13:15, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Having myself thoroughly reviewed over 400 guitar methods, I respectfully disagree that The Guitar Handbook by Ralph Denyer is a good reference here. The current Guitar Wikibook is already similar: a compilation of a bunch of reference topics that would be better left to Wikipedia. What we need is actual pedagogy, and both Denyer's book and 99% of the current Wikibook are atrocious for that. Aside from the German Wikibook mentioned above, another decent resource that is compatibly licensed (it is CC-BY) and could be incorporated here is: the Connexions Guitar Course Backfromquadrangle (discuss • contribs) 00:11, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

External links and Advertising - Analysis
I'm going to use this section to do a comparative study of the featured books. Today I looked at three other featured books and noticed they all had no external links to commercial sites on their main entry page (contents page, cover page or whatever you wish to call it). I have a feeling that the Guitar book may be suffering from commercial interests occupying the front cover. Below is a list of featured books and alongside each title I will detail whether commercial or non-commercial external links are present or not.

I will use a numerical key system:

 * 0 = no external links
 * 1 = external links to commercial sites
 * 2 = external links to non-commercial sites
 * 3 = mixed external links (commercial and non-commercial)

I started and then thought why not just remove all the external links from the front page and see how the community reacts. I cannot see any purpose in having these "adverts" placed on the front of the Guitar book. They are profiteering from this placement and when did all these sites disappear from Google or the net therefore they are already available to readers through search engines. They have an online presence so do we need them to further their internet presence at the expense of the Guitar book.

I'll remove them now and if you feel differently then restore them and leave a reason here. Before you do restore them bear in mind that the argument that "they are resources that help readers" is just another way of saying "why not let Google and these sites profit from our non-profit endeavors as well as profit from our readers". Please note that all Wikibook editors work for nothing and our readers pay nothing.

This action applies only to the sites that carry adverts.

Sluffs (discuss • contribs) 19:58, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

I removed the external links to the chord finder software sites. You know the type where they show you the fingerboard and you have a chord menu and you select the chord you want and the dots appear. These auto-generated chords are terrible and most of the time you wouldn't be able to use them fluently since they are not designed to teach you how to move from chord to chord. There's some exercises in the Jazz section which though advanced should illustrate this point. In Jazz Movement Exercise One your little finger should be on the B note (4th fret G string) and if you follow the exercise you will notice that your little finger stays on that string and just moves one fret out then back in and then back out. You don't need to remove or lift the little finger of the string. This is a Jazz approach (Classical guitar as well) - Jazz guitarists are expected to play at fast tempos and if they were to use all six strings they would soon falter. So from the early days of the guitar they adopted an "economical" movement to their chord changes. Jazz Movement Exercise One in the Jazz section goes G - C (2nd inversion - basically you're keeping the G in the bass for ease of movement) - G7 (the chord finders I've removed from the external links section on the front page of this book will show this chord as a four note chord but notice that in the exercise the 5th, the D note of the G7, is omitted - once again to aid movement). This is why I've removed the links to these auto-chord finders - they just cause problems in positioning and fluency. Why do it the hard way?

Tip: musicians exploit a very human trait - basically audiences will fill out the missing notes (harmony) if need be - try singing the "Star Spangled Banner" and pay careful attention to what your mind is really creating - when a familiar melody is presented to the mind without chordal accompaniment the mind creates the harmonic framework for understanding the relationship that exists between the melodic notes. As a further example of this - audiences may not know anything about key changes or how to use a pivot chord to change key but they will know you've changed key.

Hopefully you'll agree that these chord finders, though great pieces of software or applets, are not good for positioning and fluency.

Jean Jones (artist)

Jean Verity Jones (5 July 1927 – 28 April 2012) was an English painter who spent the majority of her life living in Oxford, Devon and Primrose Hill. She produced over 400 artworks, including a variety of landscapes, portraits, self-portraits and still lifes, which engage varyingly with the legacies of Expressionism and Post-Impressionism. Her paintings are particularly noted for their "poetic" and "lyrical" qualities, providing a "diary" of her geographical, emotional and psychological development.

Throughout her life, Jones suffered from mental illnesses including bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. Her difficulties with mental health severely limited the progression of her artistic career, and she was twice sectioned – with the GP on the occasion of her second sectioning describing her as "a woman who wears man's clothes". Nonetheless, her talents were recognised throughout her lifetime. Jones had a solo exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum in 1980, as well as notable reviews from David Carritt and K.J. Garlick. The British novelist and philosopher Iris Murdoch even claimed that Jones would one day be 'as famous as Van Gogh'.

Biography
Jones was born in London on 5 July 1927 to Ella and Samuel Robinson, "a successful but modest senior civil servant". Her only brother, John Armstrong Robinson also became a civil servant, serving most notably as Head of Britain's European Integration Department from 1968 to 1970, and Assistant Under-Secretary of State from 1971 to 1973.

After leaving school, Jones briefly attended Saint Martin's School of Art in London, where she studied under the tutelage of Ruskin Spear, before opting to put aside her passion for painting, and matriculating at Girton College, Cambridge, where she read English. She later married John Jones, a Fellow of Merton College, Oxford and later the 38th Oxford Professor of Poetry (1978–83) and moved to Oxford with her new husband immediately, taking up residence in Holywell Cottage on St Cross Road. The marriage produced two children, Jeremy and Janet.

In the early 1960s, after reading the letters of Vincent van Gogh, Jones was inspired to resume her interest in painting. Jones's work is deeply engaged in the significant places of her life, in particular her surroundings in Primrose Hill, Oxford and the Devon countryside. David Carritt has described her "as an Expressionist, albeit a most restrained, unstrident Expressionist," identifying in her work a characteristic array of "lyrical feelings – usually of happiness, sometimes of melancholy." Jones's work often features the same settings, which 'she paint[ed] again and again, noting every change wrought by light and season but recording, too, the emotion which these changes awaken in her" and documenting "a world of becoming, not being".

Jones's work was the subject of a 1980 solo exhibition at Oxford's Ashmolean Museum. She also exhibited at the Bear Lane Gallery in Oxford and with the New Grafton and Boundary Galleries. In 1999, Duncan Campbell Contemporary Art held a studio sale of her work. During her lifetime, those in possession of Jones's work included the Tolkien family, the Golding estate, as well as the critic John Carey, the Bishop John Oliver, the mathematician Harry Pitt, the literary agent and publisher Hilary Rubinstein, the novelist and academic Rachel Trickett, the American author and critic Diana Trilling and academics Andrew Wallace-Hadrill and J.M. Wallace-Hadrill.

In October 2020, a team led by Jones's grandson organised the first exhibition of her work in over twenty years at The Brownston Gallery, Modbury.

Barefoot Songs

Barefoot Songs (Barfotasånger) is a large song cycle for voice and piano by Allan Pettersson.

Background
The 24 songs in Swedish were composed between 1943 and 1945. At this time, Pettersson was violist at the Stockholm Concert Society. The text of the songs was written by Pettersson himself and is partly autobiographical. The main topic of the song cycle is his youth in poverty. The diatonic songs were kept simple, but the text is not easy to understand and uses a highly poetic and cryptic language. Pettersson wrote over 100 poems, but only 24 were set to music. The Swedish Broadcasting Corporation and his publisher Nordiska Musikförlaget initially refused to publish the songs. The cycle was first published in 1976. Musicologist Andreas Krause has posited that the name Barefoot Songs is a reminiscence and tribute to Schubert's Winterreise. "Barefoot on the ice" is a quotation from the 24th and last song Der Leiermann. Some songs are reminiscent of ballads or romances, folk songs or hymns and Schubert's Winterreise.

Synopsis

 * 22) Vännen i Söndagslandet (The Friend in Sunday Land)
 * 23) Mens flugorna surra (While the Flies are Buzzing)
 * 24) Han ska släcka min lykta (He Will Extinguish My Light)

Quotations
Pettersson quoted songs from his 24 Barefoot Songs in several of his larger scale compositions. His 6th Symphony cites the song Han ska släcka min lykta (He Will Extinguish My Light), the 14th Symphony cites Klokar och knythänder (Wise Men and Clenched Hands) and Violin Concerto No. 2 cites Herren går på ängen (The Lord Walks in the Meadow).

Orchestration

Perl Programming/Exercise 4

Documenting your program
Using a technique called "Plain old Documentation" (POD), take one of your Perl programs, and write about what it does, how it works, and what options it accepts. You will need to write the documentation in the same file as the Perl program, using the special POD markup language

Check that your program still runs correctly with the documentation embedded in it.

Using the pod2text tool, create a text-file help file for your program, and check that it's nicely formatted and easy to read. (You will need to run a conversion program to extract the documentation from your program into a text-file)

Creating HTML documentation
Using the POD toolkit, extract the documentation from your Perl program into an HTML file. Open the HTML file with your browser and check it's nicely formatted and easy to read.

If you like to use LaTeX or man, try compiling your documentation as LaTeX or Troff files, respectively.

Writing a test-suite
Find a testing framework which will allow you to write tests for your Perl program, to automatically test its functionality. Taking a complex program from a previous exercise, write tests which check for correct behaviour in each part of your program.

Insert a deliberate error in the program being tested, and check that the error is spotted by the test-suite. See whether you can make the program display incorrect results and still pass the test-suite. (if so, modify the test-suite to detect this incorrect version of the program)

Re-write the program from scratch using a different method for some of the functions. Check that the new program passes your test-suite.

Putting it all together
Write a program which scans a Perl script and displays the size of the program, the number of comments, and calculates the density of the program (number of statements divided by lines of code)

Display the value of the program by looking-up an estimate of how much it costs per line of code to develop a program in industry.

Display the estimated number of errors in the program by looking-up the expected number of errors per thousand lines of code for an average program.

Write the documention and test-suite for your new program.

Download a random perl script from the internet, and see how it matches up on your code-quality meter.

Talk:Department of Justice (Canada)

DOJ Canada vs DOJ (Canada)
I had changed the article name to Department of Justice Canada from Department of Justice (Canada). However, seeing some discussion about it from a year ago I decided to change it back for safe. Still, I'm curious what is the reason for naming it "Department of Justice" over "Departement of Justice Canada"? I've read a number of more recent documents by and about the department of justice and they all refer to it as "Department of Justice Canada". It appears to be a frequently used title. Any insight, anyone? --PullUpYourSocks 23:39, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

The legal name for the DOJ is the Department of Justice. The applied name is Department of Justice Canada, sometimes shortened to Justice Canada. Information on this can be found on the Treasury Board website at http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/pubs_pol/sipubs/tb_fip/titlesoffedorg1-eng.asp.

Organic Chemistry/Alkanes/Ethane

=Ethane= << Methane | Propane thru decane >>

Ethane (/ˈɛθeɪn/ or /ˈiːθeɪn/) is a chemical compound, or hydrocarbon with a chemical formula of C2H6. At standard temperature and pressure, ethane is a colorless, odorless gas. Ethane is isolated on an industrial scale from natural gas, and as a byproduct of petroleum refining. Its chief use is as petrochemical feedstock for ethylene production. It could be described as two methane molecules attached to each other, less two hydrogens.

Number of hydrogens to carbons
This equation describes the relationship between the number of hydrogen and carbon atoms in alkanes:

 * H = 2C + 2

where "C" and "H" are used to represent the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms present in one molecule. If C = 2, then H = 6.

Many textbooks put this in the following format:

 * CNH2N+2

where "CN" and "H2N+2" represent the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms present in one molecule. If CN = 3, then H2N+2 = 2(3) + 2 = 8. (For this formula look to the "N" for the number, the "C" and the "H" letters themselves do not change.)

Unreferenced article about a city street, with no indication of anything that would satisfy WP:ROADOUTCOMES. All this contains is a description of the road's physical characteristics, a list of buildings that happen to be on it, and a brief biographical sketch of the person that it happens to have been named for (an otherwise non-notable daughter of the person who previously owned the land it's located on.) Every road in every city is not automatically eligible to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists -- but there's no indication of any political, social or historical context that would make its existence noteworthy, and no evidence of any strong reliable source coverage about the road.

 * Weak Keep - It is does seem to be a historic street dating back to the 1830s, is somewhat noteworthy as a visitor destination and described as, "was one of the major commercial thoroughfares of the Plateau". --Oakshade (talk) 23:46, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * We need much better sourcing for a claim like that than just a Fodor's tourist guide (which is prone to just repeating marketing claims that may not actually be accurate.) Bearcat (talk) 18:45, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:GNG or WP:RS makes no discrimination against "tourist guides" as long as there is editorial control over content as is the case with Fodor's which has a long reputation of fact-checking. There does need to be proof of "repeating marketing claims," otherwise that's just an ironic claim.  I don't see how a place having been a major commercial thoroughfare in the past and not presently is a "marketing claim" anyway.--Oakshade (talk) 19:01, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * "Come see our district! It has history! (Don't ask us to actually back that up with documented proof, though, and never mind that "has stores on it" isn't actually an encyclopedic notability claim in and of itself...just take our word for it!)" Bearcat (talk) 19:38, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * That's a straw man argument as the source doesn't say anything like that and is independent of the topic. I'm also independent of the topic and have no relation to it whatsoever. --Oakshade (talk) 23:48, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, do go ahead and enlighten me as to where there's a difference between being a neighbourhood's commercial thoroughfare and being a neighbourhood street that had stores on it — because that difference certainly isn't found in what any of the words mean. And then find me some sources that actually substantiate its significance as a neighbourhood commercial street rather than just glancingly asserting it, which is the real point here. Bearcat (talk) 03:20, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * You were claiming that Fodor's was somehow the actual neighborhood promoting itself, but providing no evidence to that claim. And then to demand that the reliable source provide another reliable source is just silly game playing.--Oakshade (talk) 04:02, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * No, I was not; I was claiming (correctly) that Fodor's was not necessarily going to research or fact-check a PR claim handed to it by the neighbourhood BIA or tourist office. Regardless, the basis for handing it wikinotability as a commercial district would not be just a contemporary Fodor's travel guide simply asserting the fact in a glancing fashion in a source not otherwise about the street itself, but substantive coverage in a variety of sources about its noteworthiness as a commercial district, which hasn't been shown here at all. Bearcat (talk) 14:28, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * If you can provide any evidence that the long reputable couple Fodor's didn't do any research and simply repeated a "PR claim", then we'll talk. Otherwise you're only providing blind original research speculation.  And I'll repeat, we don't understand how some undefined local organization touting a past accolade and not the present is somehow "PR." If you'd like more sources, fine.  But your Fodor's-is-lying claim with no evidence whatsoever is ignorable. --Oakshade (talk) 15:56, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It's not my responsibility to prove a negative — it's your responsibility to prove the affirmative. And at any rate, what we're talking about is one glancing namecheck of a purported historical status not confirmed by multiple reliable sources, when passing WP:GNG requires multiple sources (not just one) to address the topic in depth (not just namechecking its existence). So regardless of which one of us is right or wrong about whether Fodor's independently researched the claim or just regurgitated a press release, we still require more than just one source before we can consider the street notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. Bearcat (talk) 16:06, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The "affirmative" has been provided and you're just blindly claiming it's a "PR Claim" with zero evidence. You need to prove that.  I noticed the same source also says the area is now "more run down."  How is it a "PR Claim" to be "run down"? --Oakshade (talk) 16:20, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * No, you haven't "proven" the affirmative; you've simply asserted that I'm wrong, which isn't the same thing. And we still need more than just one source to deem this notable — regardless of who's right or wrong about how Fodor's did or didn't assess the claim's publishability, it still takes more than just one source to make a street notable enough for inclusion. Bearcat (talk) 16:36, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The reliable source regarding the past importance of this topic has been provided - the "affirmative." That's not just "asserting" you're wrong.  You've been repeatedly claiming that source is a "PR claim" by some un-named entity but providing zero evidence for your claim.  And how is the source calling a topic "run down" a "PR claim"? --Oakshade (talk) 16:48, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * A tourist guide making an assertion without showing evidence of that != proof. If it had half the historic importance as a commercial district as you seem so sure it does, that would track in other sources as well — such as the archives of the Montreal Gazette — but it completely fails to do so at all. (P.S. if I wasn't clear enough about this before, I checked.) And we still require more than just one source to deem a street notable. Bearcat (talk) 01:45, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Again, you're just demanding that a reliable source supply its own reliable source. That's just you.  The New York Times references Fodor's all the time.  If it's good enough for the NYT, it's good enough for us.  Well most us, but not you.  Fine. And we're still waiting for your answer; how does the source saying the topic is "run down" a repeated "PR claim"? --Oakshade (talk) 19:27, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I never said that "has become run down" was a PR claim; I have no responsibility to answer for words that you're putting in my mouth. And we're also still waiting for your response to the fact that Wikipedia requires multiple reliable sources, not just one, before we can deem a topic notable enough to have an article. WP:GNG requires substantive coverage in multiple reliable sources, not just one half-page blurb in one tourist guide. Bearcat (talk) 14:46, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * You claimed that when Fodor's stated ""was one of the major commercial thoroughfares of the Plateau" it was a "PR claim handed to it by the neighbourhood BIA or tourist office" with zero evidence. Fodor's also states in the same paragraph that the street is "run down."  How is Fodor's making a "PR claim handed to it by the neighbourhood BIA or tourist office" when they also state it's "run down"?--Oakshade (talk) 16:24, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * It is entirely possible for Fodor's to take one piece of information from a piece of PR bumf, and combine it with other information gleaned from its own personal observations rather than the PR, within the same piece of writing — so saying that one part of the blurb sounds more like PR bumf than properly substantiated evidence of notability is not disproven by some other part of the blurb that I did not apply that judgement to. There is no evidence that Fodor's dug into decades-old newspaper archives to research whether it had any historic significance as a commercial thoroughfare — which is still not the same thing as "had stores on it". And Wikipedia still requires multiple sources, not just one — a point which you still seem reluctant or unable to address. Bearcat (talk) 16:47, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * A single anonymous Wikipedia user making a "It is entirely possible" "PR claim" charge holds no weight against a reliable source. Demanding a reliable source provide another reliable source to their content is just silly grabbing at straws.  If this article is deleted, it will probably be because of the request for more in-depth coverage by more sources, not your groundless claim that a reliable source is, well I guess you mean sometimes since you're now contradicting yourself, repeating a "PR claim."--Oakshade (talk) 00:26, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

It certainly pre-dates the legends here, and the young attraction between Peter and Wendy when contrasted with Captain Hook's evil is all too similar a theme in The Hook mythology.2601:281:C204:6170:5DF7:F593:4CF1:887A (talk) 06:13, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

George Pettibone

George A. Pettibone (May 1862 – August 3, 1908) was an Idaho miner. Pettibone was best known as a defendant in trial of three leaders of the Western Federation of Miners for the 1905 assassination by bombing of Frank Steunenberg, former governor of Idaho.

Biography
Pettibone was convicted of contempt of court and criminal conspiracy in the Coeur d'Alene labor strike of 1892.

He was later implicated in the 1905 assassination of Frank Steunenberg, ex-governor of Idaho, by a confession and testimony from Harry Orchard.

Western Federation of Miners (WFM) general secretary Bill Haywood and WFM president Charles Moyer were also implicated. Haywood was represented by Clarence Darrow, the most renowned defense lawyer of the day, who obtained an acquittal. Pettibone was tried after Haywood, and was defended by Orrin N. Hilton of Denver. Pettibone was also acquitted, and charges against Moyer were dropped.

Pettibone fell ill with cancer during his trial.

After his acquittal he returned home to Denver, Colorado. On August 1, 1908, Pettibone underwent surgery for stomach cancer in Denver. Surgeons pronounced Pettibone terminal following the operation and he died in Denver two days later.

USS Birgit

USS Birgit (AKA-24) was an Artemis-class attack cargo ship named after the minor planet 960 Birgit, which in turn was named after a daughter of Swedish astronomer Bror Ansgar Asplind. USS Birgit served as a commissioned ship for 16 months.

Birgit (AKA 24) was laid down on 22 February 1944 at Providence, R.I., by Walsh-Kaiser Co., Inc., under a Maritime Commission contract (MC hull 1885); launched on 18 July 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Ella A. Cunard; and commissioned on 28 October 1944.

1944
Following fitting out at Boston, Mass., the attack cargo ship sailed for the Chesapeake Bay in mid-November. After shakedown training, the new attack cargo ship entered the Norfolk Navy Yard late on 4 November for repairs and alterations. This work was completed at the end of the month, and she sailed for Bayonne, N.J. on 30 November. There, the ship loaded cargo and embarked passenger, before sailing for the Pacific on 6 December. Escorted by USS Haas (DE-424), Birgit steamed to Panama, transiting the canal on the 12th and leaving the Canal Zone very early on the 13th. Proceeding singly to Hawaii, the ship reached Pearl Harbor on Christmas Day 1944, after having paused en route to render medical aid to SS S. B. Hunt on the 21st.

1945
After disembarking her passengers and discharging her cargo, the ship shifted to Honolulu on 5 January 1945 and immediately began loading cargo for the Army's 752d Anti Aircraft (AA) Battalion. On the 7th, she embarked 235 soldiers attached to the unit, and sailed independently for the Marshall Islands on the 8th. Reaching Eniwetok on the 16th, Birgit tarried there for a week, topping off her fuel bunkers from USS Chotauk (IX-188) before leaving the lagoon on the 23d for a round-trip voyage to Saipan and back. The attack cargo ship made Saipan on the 27th and returned to Eniwetok on 3 February. At this point, turbine damage forced Birgit to return to Hawaii for repairs. She set sail alone on 5 February, reached Oahu on the 15th, and entered the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard on the 19th.

Following this availability, Birgit trained near Maui, practicing amphibious landings and tactical maneuvers between 24 March and 29 March. The attack cargo ship then returned to her cargo hauling duties, taking on board freight at Honolulu on the 30th and embarking 235 soldiers on 1 April. Sailing that afternoon for the Marshalls and Marianas, Birgit visited Eniwetok from 10 April to 11 April and Saipan from 14 April to 28 April before she discharged her remaining cargo at Guam on the 28th. This task completed, she sailed for Eniwetok and, for almost four months, served the Commander, Marshalls Gilberts Area, making interisland cargo runs to such places as Eniwetok, Kwajalein, Majuro, and Tarawa.

While Birgit performed the prosaic, but vital, cargo-carrying tasks in the rear areas, the Allied war effort came to a victorious conclusion, sped along by two atomic bombs. V-J Day found Birgit at Eniwetok atoll. On 22 August, after taking on fuel from USS Meredosia (IX-193), the attack cargo ship got underway for the Philippines as part of 5th Fleet's Amphibious Group 8 and arrived at Guiuan Roadstead off Samar on the 29th. She then sailed for Manila on 4 September and reached that port late on the 6th.

Three days later, Birgit sailed for Lingayen Gulf, routed via Subic Bay, and anchored off Aringay Point on 10 September. There, she loaded 785 tons of ammunition, vehicles, gasoline, and rations, completing the evolution early on the 15th. She then embarked 225 men of the Army's 33d Infantry Division. Birgit took part in a landing rehearsal at Aringay Point on the 17th and then sailed for Japan on the 20th.

Birgit navigated the 600 yard swept channel passing through Kii Suido between Shikoku and Honshū and arrived off Wakayama before dawn on 25 September. Reaching her assigned position off the beachhead at 06:23, Birgit lowered her landing craft, getting them all waterborne within 10 minutes. Then, she proceeded to the inner anchorage area, where she anchored at 10:25. An hour later, she started discharging cargo, using her landing craft. Still, lack of lighterage kept the unloading moving slowly for the balance of the day. The supply of boats improved on the 26th and Birgit's cargo operations speeded up correspondingly. By 17:30, she had unloaded her cargo and disembarked her troops.

Birgit's part in the occupation completed, she weighed anchor on the 27th, sailing for Leyte in company with USS Duplin (AKA-87), USS Washburn (AKA-108) and USS Henninger (DE-476). Routed via Subic Bay, Birgit reached Leyte's San Pedro Bay on 5 October, tarrying there briefly before shifting south to Mindanao, anchoring in Davao Gulf on the 8th. There, the attack cargo ship embarked 135 men of the Army's 21st Regimental Combat Team and loaded 795 tons of cargo. Clearing Davao Gulf on 15 October, Birgit headed back to Japan, arriving at Hiro Wan, off Honshū, on late the 21st. She unloaded her cargo and disembarked her troops at Matsuyama early on the 23rd.

At that point in time, Birgit joined the armada of ships assigned to Operation "Magic Carpet" duty, as she lay in Hiro Wan. Sailing for Okinawa on the 30th, she reached Buckner Bay on 1 November and embarked 407 returning servicemen the following afternoon. She weighed anchor for the United States shortly thereafter and arrived at San Francisco on 17 November. After repairs at the Kaiser dockyard at Richmond, California, Birgit sailed for the Philippines on the 25th, making Guiuan Roadstead at Samar on 13 December. Two days later, Birgit sailed for San Francisco once more with 478 homeward bound men and reached her destination on New Year's Day 1946.

Decommissioning
Released from "Magic Carpet" duty on arrival in San Francisco, the attack cargo ship was soon authorized for disposal. Sailing from the west coast on 28 January 1946, Birgit headed for the Gulf Coast and inactivation. Clearing the Panama Canal on 11 February 1946, she finally reached Orange, Texas, on 10 March 1946via New Orleans. Birgit was placed out of commission at Orange on 15 March 1946, and her name was struck from the Navy list on 21 May 1946. The ship was delivered to the Maritime Commission on 1 July 1946 at Mobile, Alabama, for further disposition. She was broken up during 1971 at New York.

Stavich Bike Trail

The Stavich Bike Trail is a National Recreation Trail located in Mahoning County, Ohio and Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. The rail trail is 9.9 miles long and goes from Lowellville to Union Township in Lawrence County, traveling directly through Lowellville. It was constructed on the former Penn-Ohio Electric System trolley line along the Mahoning River in 1983, adjacent to the CSX New Castle Subdivision tracks. Considered an early example of rail-trails, its 1983 construction was dependent on a donation from the Stavich family, who ran many aluminum mills in the Youngstown area.

History
From the late 19th century through the 1940s, it was very common to find streetcars and trolleys throughout much of Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio. Originally, many of these streetcar lines were built by numerous companies, but merged into the Mahoning & Shenango Railway and Light System in 1905. The company changed its name to the Penn-Ohio Electric System in 1920. The company provided service through much of the area known as the Mahoning Valley, having both local streetcar lines and interurban trolleys. The main line, between New Castle and Youngstown, opened in 1902. Part of that line is now the Stavich Bike Trail.

The Penn-Ohio trolley system began its downfall once the rise of the automobile began, as well as the Great Depression. Ridership reportedly fell by 45% between 1930 and 1931. This caused the main line to be converted to buses between 1931 and 1932, the first in the Penn-Ohio system to do so. Subsequently, numerous other interurban trolleys and local streetcars in the Mahoning Valley were converted to buses. The last of which to be converted were the local streetcars in New Castle, which were converted to buses in 1941, forming the Shenango Valley Transportation Company.

Bicycle trail
In 1983, thanks to a donation from the Stavich family, who were a local aluminum tycoon, construction commenced on the nearly 10-mile long trail between the two cities. It opened later that year. Since then, numerous emergency repairs have had to be completed on the trail after intense Spring storms wash parts of the trail away.

Additionally, the Lawrence County Department of Planning & Community Development has proposed new trails connecting to Stavich Bike Trail in its 2017 Greenways Plan. One of which includes improving the trail connection from the Stavich Bike Trail to Downtown New Castle. The department's ideal option is to create a separate trail option into the city along Penn Power's right-of-way. It also plans for improvements at the crossing at Covert Road, which was identified as the most dangerous along the trail. Another proposed route continues the trail along the CSX railroad tracks info Mahoningtown, although this is a lower priority to the downtown connection.

Royal Manchester College of Music

The Royal Manchester College of Music (RMCM) was a tertiary level conservatoire in Manchester, north-west England. It was founded in 1893 by the German-born conductor Sir Charles Hallé in 1893.

In 1972, the Royal Manchester College of Music amalgamated with the Northern School of Music to form the Royal Northern College of Music.

History
The Royal Manchester College of Music was founded in 1893 by Sir Charles Hallé who assumed the role as Principal. For a long period of time Hallé had argued for Manchester's need for a conservatoire to properly train the local talent.

The RMCM opened in 1893 in a former club building on the corner of Ducie Grove and Ducie Street, near Oxford Road. The building was adapted for use as a college by the architects Salomons and Steinthal, and contained a 400-seat concert hall lined with walnut wood panelling, classrooms, a library and offices. According to the Manchester Guardian, instead of a formal opening ceremony, donors were invited to a conversazione with Sir Charles Hallé and other musicians on Saturday October 7, 1893. Students were admitted in October 1893.

In 1888 German violinist Willy Hess became leader of The Hallé Orchestra, a role he held until 1895. From its opening in 1893 he was also the principal professor of violin at the Royal Manchester College of Music.

In 1954 the Principal of the RMCM, Frederic Cox, started to explore the issue of amalgamation with the Northern School of Music. This took until 1972 when the amalgamation resulted in the founding of the Royal Northern College of Music.

All in the Family (Body of Proof)

"All in the Family" is the seventh episode of the first season of the American medical drama Body of Proof. It was originally broadcast in the United States on ABC on 3 May 2011. The episode was directed by John Polson and written by Sam Humphrey.

In this episode, Megan Hunt (Dana Delany) and Peter Dunlop (Nicholas Bishop) investigate when a stay at home father is found by his wife Jen (Molly Price), stabbed to death at their house. With the help of Detectives Bud Morris (John Carroll Lynch) and Samantha Baker (Sonja Sohn) they investigate, with all the evidence pointing towards the victims son, Mike (Jake O'Connor). Whilst the case is on-going, Megan receives flashbacks to her childhood. Meanwhile, Kate Murphy (Jeri Ryan) is asked by Megan's lawyer ex-husband Todd Fleming (Jeffrey Nordling) to help him with a case.

The episode received positive reviews, and was watched by 10.20 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings, on the Tuesday night it aired in the United States. Critics called the episode both "dishearting" and "engaging" saying that "these characters and this episode was a winner for Body of Proof". They also praised the partnership between Kate and Curtis Brumfield (Windell Middlebrooks), calling the scenes "hysterical" and "funny".

Plot
Megan Hunt (Dana Delany) and Peter Dunlop (Nicholas Bishop) arrive at the scene of Ed Russell (David Shumbris), a stay at home father, who is found by his wife Jen (Molly Price) stabbed to death at their house, whilst their baby daughter Sophie is at home. When Detective Bud Morris (John Carroll Lynch) goes to tell Ed's son Mike (Jake O'Connor) about his father's death, Megan stops him, telling Bud to let his mother tell him. Megan has a flashback to when she was younger, focussing on when a young Megan (Madeline Milne) receives the news of her father's death from a policeman, as the police did not know where her mother, Joan (Joanna Cassidy), was at the time. Jen admits that she cleaned up some footprints; she thought they were Mike's. The attack on Ed was personal and after Detective Samantha Baker (Sonja Sohn) concludes that the attack on Ed was personal after she finds evidence to suggest Mike did indeed kill his father, such as negative emails. Mike protests his innocence, and Ethan Gross (Geoffrey Arend) finds evidence which makes Mike innocent. Throughout the day, Megan tries to rebuild her relationship with Lacey (Mary Mouser), carpooling Lacey and her friends, Sarah (Teresa Celentano) and Betsy (Anna Friedman).

Megan's lawyer ex-husband Todd (Jeffrey Nordling) arrives at Megan's work, needing forensic testing for evidence that his client Manny Santos (Carlos Apostle), is a juvenile. Kate Murphy (Jeri Ryan) greets him, and she asks Curtis Brumfield (Windell Middlebrooks) to help examine him. Curtis finds evidence which suggests Manny has received recent trauma to ribs and other body parts, suggesting that he's being abused. Curtis explains to Todd that Manny is a juvenile, but he will not be able to be released back to his former home, as he is being abused there. Meanwhile, the evidence for the murderer fits a partial match to Mike, so Megan concludes that Ed is not Mike's father. She goes to visit Jen; however she slams the door in her face. Megan walks into her house and finds Mike's real father Tim (Timothy Devlin), holding Ed's and Jen's baby daughter hostage. Tim takes Jen into the garden when the police arrive, so Bud shoots him in the leg and arrests him and Jen is reunited with Sophie and Mike.

Production
"All in the Family" was written by Sam Humphrey and directed by John Polson, most known for founding Tropfest, the world's largest short film festival, which first took place in Australia. Daniel Licht who has worked on the series since its inception, returned to compose the music for the episode.

Critical response
This episode received positive reviews. Christine Orlando from TV Fanatic said she found the episode both "dishearting" and "engaging", as well as later adding that it was "sad" and "frightening" when Jake O'Connor was accused of murdering his father. Writing about the final scene which shows Megan enter the Russell's house, she said that she wanted to "smack" Megan for doing so, saying "What was she thinking? She knew Scanlon had committed the murder and that Jen was acting strangely when she wouldn't let her in. Yet, she went back to find the door open and walked right in. Megan's intelligent enough to know that something wasn't right but she's unarmed and untrained to handle the situation. For some reason she seemed incapable of making the smart decision to wait for the real police". Orlando said of the flashback scenes that she hopes in future episodes they "delve deeper" into Megan's father's death, saying that it was "certainly a turning point for the character and I'd love to know more". She said it was "nice" to see scenes between Peter and Megan and said of the carpooling storyline, "Snacks for carpool didn't seem like a bad idea but they could have used a couple of healthier options to go with the chocolate". Of Curtis and Kate's examining Manny Santos, she said that their expressions were "hysterical" and "funny" when they decided whether Manny was a juvenile, adding that it gave "a much needed moment of comic relief in an otherwise heavy episode". She finished in saying that the episode "grabbed her attention", finishing, "These engaging characters and this episode was a winner for Body of Proof". In the carpooling storyline it featured Tastykake's products, a line of snack foods based in Philadelphia. Such products which were mentioned were Krimpets and KandyKakes, with the ABC saying they were the "best".

Amboyna cuckoo-dove

The Amboyna cuckoo-dove (Macropygia amboinensis) is a dove in the genus Macropygia found in the Moluccas and New Guinea. It was one of three new species defined when the slender-billed cuckoo-dove was split up in 2016 and retains the Latin binomial of the former species.[1]

Taxonomy
In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the Amboyna cuckoo-dove in his six volume Ornithologie based on a specimen collected on Ambon Island, one of the Maluku Islands of Indonesia. He used the French name La tourterelle d'Amboine and the Latin Turtur amboinensis. Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the binomial system and are not recognised by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his Systema Naturae for the twelfth edition, he added 240 species that had been previously described by Brisson. One of these was the Amboyna cuckoo-dove which he placed with all the other pigeons in the genus Columba. Linnaeus included a brief description, coined the binomial name Columba amboinensis and cited Brisson's work. The species is now placed in the genus Macropygia was introduced in 1837 by the English naturalist William John Swainson.

The Amboyna cuckoo-dove was formerly considered as conspecific with the sultan's cuckoo-dove (Macropygia doreya). The species was split based on an analysis of the vocalisations published in 2016.

Nine subspecies are recognized:
 * M. a. amboinensis (Linnaeus, 1766) - Central Moluccas: Buru, Seram, Ambon and Seram Laut
 * M. a. admiralitatis Mayr, 1937 - Admiralty Island
 * M. a. carteretia Bonaparte, 1854 - Bismarck Archipelago (except Admiralty Islands). Includes M. a. hueskeri (Mayr & Diamond, 2001)
 * M. a. keyensis Salvadori, 1876 - Kai Islands
 * M. a. maforensis Salvadori, 1878 - Numfor Island
 * M. a. griseinucha Salvadori, 1876 - Mios Num
 * M. a. meeki Rothschild & Hartert, 1915 - Manam Island
 * M. a. cinereiceps Tristram, 1889 - D'Entrecasteaux Islands. Includes M. a. goldiei and kerstingi (Mayr 1941, Mees 1982)
 * M. a. cunctata Hartert, 1899 - Louisiade Archipelago (Misima, Tagula and Rossel Islands)

Description
The Amboyna cuckoo-dove is typically about 35 - 37 cm long. Males tend to have a slight rose/green colouration on their nape and neck. In Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, many subspecies have whitish underparts, fine dark barring below and/or a whitish cap.

The call of this dove is a very loud "whoop-a whoop" with some differences depending on the subspecies involved.

Distribution and habitat
The Amboyna cuckoo-dove inhabits rainforest, woodland, scrubland and rainforest regrowth areas.

Behaviour and ecology
The doves can often be seen in pairs or groups. Its diet consists of berries from both native plants and introduced weed species. They can be nomadic, depending on the supplies of food. They tend to fly short distances and low to the ground with great strength.

Breeding occurs in spring and summer. The nest is a flat platform of sticks and vines, either in a fork of a tree or on top of a low tree. One, creamy white, egg is laid.
