Professional tennis before the start of the open era
Before the start of the open era and in addition to numerous small tournaments and head-to-head tours between the leading professionals, there were a few major professional tournaments that stood out during different periods:

 * Some survived sporadically because of financial collapses and others temporarily stood out when other important tournaments were not held:
 * Bristol Cup (held at Cannes or at Beaulieu) in the 1920s
 * Queen's Club Pro (in the 1927 and 1928)
 * International Pro Championship of Britain in Southport in the 1930s
 * World Pro Championships in Berlin in the 1930s
 * U.S Pro Hardcourt in Los Angeles, California in 1945 (the only significant professional tournament that year)
 * Philadelphia Pro 1950–1952
 * Tournament of Champions, held in Los Angeles in 1956 and at Forest Hills thereafter (when it was not merged with the U.S. Pro)
 * Masters Pro Round Robin in Los Angeles in 1957 and 1958
 * Australian Pro in 1954, 1957, and 1958
 * Madison Square Garden Pro in 1966 and 1967
 * Wimbledon Pro in 1967
 * There were a few team events modeled on the Davis Cup, such as the Bonnardel Cup in the 1930s and the Kramer Cup from 1961 through 1963.
 * Three traditional "championship tournaments" survived into the open era, often having all the leading players but sometimes having very depleted fields. The most prestigious of the three was generally the London Indoor Professional Championship.  Played between 1934 and 1990 at Wembley Arena in England, it was unofficially usually considered the world championship until 1967. The oldest of the three was the United States Professional Championship, played between 1927 and 1999.  From 1954 through 1962, this tournament was played indoors in Cleveland and was called the "World Professional Championships." The third major tournament was the French Professional Championship, played usually at Roland Garros from 1934 (perhaps before but the data are unclear) through 1968. The British and American championships continued into the open era but soon devolved to the status of minor tournaments.

Because of the instability of the professional tour, the greatest tournaments in a given year could be the three "championship tournaments" (such as in 1964) or other tournaments (such as in 1959 when the greatest tournaments probably were the Forest Hills Pro, the Masters Pro in Los Angeles, and almost all the Australian pro tournaments).

However these three tournaments were considered by some tennis experts as the three tournaments of the professional Grand Slam (until 1967). Some years as in 1948, only one of them was held, the U.S Pro in this case, and even in 1944 none was organized : this explains why professionals players have less impressive records than those of the modern players but it doesn't mean that the banished players of the pre-open era were less great than their open era colleagues.

As with any statistics, those of tennis players should be put into the correct context because:

a) they are mixing performances of the amateur circuit (until 1967), the professional circuit (until 1967), and the open circuit (since 1968)

b) they don't always take into account the greatest events of a given year (such as the 1959 example above).

For instance, Ken Rosewall's amateur successes between 1953 and 1956 were achieved without having to compete against world-class professionals like Frank Sedgman and Pancho Gonzales. Likewise, when Rod Laver captured the amateur Grand Slam in 1962, he did not have to face opponents such as Rosewall, Lew Hoad, Pancho Segura and Andrés Gimeno, all professionals, and therefore his 1962 Grand Slam is not seen as impressive as his 1969 Grand Slam which he won in the open era. In 1967 Laver was omnipotent on fast courts, winning all the greatest pro tournaments that year, Wimbledon Pro (grass), the U.S. Pro (grass), Wembley Pro (indoor wood, fastest surface ever used in tennis) and the French Pro (indoor wood). In the official statistics as published by the ITF or ATP these tournaments are seldom listed because only the amateur tournaments were taken into account. Yet Laver's supremacy in 1967 was undisputed: in his statistics (19 major tournaments) three of the four previous tournaments are listed. The one tournament not chosen is 1967 Wimbledon Pro because it was a one-off event and not a "Grand Slam pro" tournament but it was probably the greatest pro event of the 60s and in particular of 1967. It indicates that the Grand Slam label in the pre-open era is not always attributed to the greatest tournaments of a given year.

In reality to fairly compare pre-open era players' records with open era players, it would be necessary to select from the tennis beginnings the four greatest events of each year, knowing it would change every year (some years it is difficult to choose the four greatest tennis events). Thus, for instance, Ken Rosewall's record of 23 victories, indicated above, would be reduced to about 21 tournaments "equivalent to the modern Grand Slam tournaments": Wembley Pro 1957, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963 – New York City-Madison Square Garden Pro 1966 – French Pro 1958, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966 – French Open 1968 – U.S. Pro 1963, 1965 – US Open 1970 – Australian Open 1971 – WCT Finals 1971, 1972. In that list, on one hand have disappeared all Rosewall's great amateur successes (Australia 1953, 1955 – Roland Garros 1953 – U.S. 1956) and also the 1972 Australian Open without eighteen of the twenty best players, but on the other hand have appeared some pro tournaments which weren't one of the three classic ones (see Ken Rosewall's article).

Most major singles titles
The three professional tournaments (Wembley Pro, French Pro, U.S. Pro) until 1967 are sometimes referred as the professional Grand Slam tournaments by tennis historians, such as Robert Geist or Raymond Lee (in his Greatest Player of All time: A Statistical Analysis article).

The following table includes those major professional titles before the Open Era. The top 13 players of all time are listed as follows which is as of the Australian Open 2020. Grand slam titles are different from the Pro slams and this list comprises winners of both type of titles

Talk:David Eckstein

Untitled
David was never voted most "grittest" this is a complete fabrication. Check into it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:26, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Is he Jewish? If so, he should be listed under Jewish-American athletes.

He is not Jewish (http://espn.go.com/talent/danpatrick/s/2002/0828/1424027.html) but has received accolades for being such.

Size
On the Cardinals' web page, Eckstein is listed as 5'7", which matches what's on the Wikipedia page. But, the "listed" heights in baseball are typically exaggerated.  Based on the players I've met, it seems they are consistently exaggerated by 4 inches.

Eckstein is listed at 5'7", which probably means he's really 5'3".

Can the page include a disclaimer like, "he is listed at 5'7" but likely is shorter" or something like that?

AidanPalmer 15:48, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Speculation over how tall he really is has no place in an encyclopedia, unless you can find a reputable source that suggests he's not actually 5'7".

<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:36, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Small for Professional Sports
"he is... small for professional sports" - I think this is a bit misleading. There are many professional sports where 5'7" isn't particularly small (soccer, equestrianism, etc) he's only small in the context of the major American sports. Blankfrackis (talk) 02:32, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Plattsburgh Air Force Base

Plattsburgh Air Force Base is a former United States Air Force (USAF) Strategic Air Command (SAC) base covering 3,447 acres (13.7 km²) in the extreme northeast corner of New York, located on the western shore of Lake Champlain opposite Burlington, Vermont, in the town of Plattsburgh, New York.

The base closed on 25 September 1995, pursuant to the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Act of 1990 (10 U.S.C. Sec. 2687 note) and the recommendations of the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commission. It is now a civilian airport and industrial complex, operated by the Plattsburgh Air Base Development Authority. The airfield is now known as Plattsburgh International Airport.

Geography
The former air base is bordered by the city of Plattsburgh and the Saranac River to the north and the Salmon River to the south. It lies on the western shore of Lake Champlain on the New York-Vermont border.

Military Presence Before the Base
Plattsburgh was the third oldest military post in the United States. The U.S. has maintained a military presence at the site of the now-closed base since 30 December 1814.

In particular:
 * On 30 December 1814, the Federal Government purchased 200 acres for the construction of the "Plattsburgh Barracks".
 * In 1838, additional parcels of land were acquired and stone barracks were built to house the personnel.
 * During the Civil War, Union troops organized and departed from the base.
 * During the Spanish–American War, the 21st Infantry was transferred from Plattsburgh Barracks to Cuba in June 1898. The troops returned to Plattsburgh in September 1898.
 * During the Interwar period, Plattsburgh Barracks was the home of the 26th Infantry Regiment of the "Iron first " division.
 * In 1944, it was turned over to the United States Navy and became "Camp MacDonough", an indoctrination school for officers.
 * After the World War II, from March 1946 to 1953, the base was used for college student housing for area colleges and extensions schools.

Plattsburgh Air Force Base (PAFB)
In 1953, the site returned to the Federal government and Plattsburgh Barracks were renamed Plattsburgh Air Force Base. The USAF held a ground breaking ceremony for the new strategic base on 29 January 1954, and construction began immediately. The runway was completed and the first aircraft landed on 7 November 1955. However, operational facilities were not completed until 1956 due to several work-stoppages and severe winter weather.

Built during the Cold War, Plattsburgh AFB's runway is large enough to land the Space Shuttle. It was on a list of alternate landing sites for the Shuttle. Space Shuttle Columbia astronaut Michael P. Anderson, born at Plattsburgh AFB, was a USAF pilot at Plattsburgh AFB when he got selected by NASA in 1994.

Major commands to which the base was assigned:
 * Strategic Air Command, 1954 – 1 June 1992
 * Air Mobility Command, 1 June 1992 – 25 September 1995

Major units assigned

 * 308th Bombardment Wing (Wing existed on paper, but was non-operational)
 * 373d Bombardment Squadron (Medium)
 * 374th Bombardment Squadron (Medium)
 * 375th Bombardment Squadron (Medium)
 * 425th Bombardment Squadron (Medium)
 * 380th Bomb Wing
 * 26th Air Refueling Squadron (7 August 1957 – 31 July 1959)
 * 310th Air Refueling Squadron (25 January 1967 – 1 October 1994)
 * 380th Air Refueling Squadron (16 August 1956 – April 1961; 15 September 1964 – 1 October 1994)
 * 528th Bombardment Squadron (11 July 1955 – 1 July 1991)
 * 529th Bombardment Squadron (11 July 1955 – 25 June 1966 and 6 January 1971 – 1 September 1991)
 * 530th Bombardment Squadron (11 July 1955 – 25 June 1966 and 1 July 1986 – 1 July 1991) (later 530th Strategic Bomber Training Squadron, Combat Crew Training Squadron)
 * 531st Bombardment Squadron (1 May 1959 – 1 January 1962)
 * 556th Strategic Missile Squadron: 15 September 1964 – 25 June 1965)
 * 497th Air Refueling Wing (1 January 1963 – 15 September 1964)
 * 26th Air Refueling Squadron (1 January 1963 – 15 September 1964)
 * 380th Air Refueling Squadron (1 January 1963 – 15 September 1964)
 * 820th Strategic Aerospace Division
 * 556th Strategic Missile Squadron

Missile operations

Plattsburgh Air Force Base was designated as one of four major Atlas launching systems in the U.S., the only ICBM missile system deployed east of the Mississippi River.

During the period 1961 and 1963, 12 Atlas-F missile sites were constructed within a 50-mile radius of the base, thus giving the 380th the capability to launch 12 missiles. All sites were in New York state, except for two located on the other side of Lake Champlain in Vermont. The 556th Strategic Missile Squadron, formerly assigned to Dow AFB, Maine, was transferred to Plattsburgh AFB on 1 October 1961, and became completely operational on 20 December 1962. It was inactivated on 25 June 1965.

BRACC 1991 and closure

During the 1991 Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRACC) deliberations, PAFB wound up being pitted against Loring AFB in Limestone, Maine. The people of Maine put up a brief fight but, at the end, PAFB was spared.

Two years later, when BRACC reconvened for another round of closures, PAFB, along with McGuire AFB in New Jersey and Griffiss AFB in Rome, New York, were considered for closing. The local sentiment was that, again, PAFB will be spared mainly because the USAF had plans to transform the base to a major Strategic Air Command base for the Northeast, expanding to add more aircraft and personnel.

It was a hard battle. Rallies were held and a local leadership group, dubbed Team Plattsburgh, was put together to save the base. Testimonies were held, before several BRACC members, to keep PAFB open and give it the intended expansion. At the end, McGuire AFB won over PAFB.

Plattsburgh AFB was officially closed on 30 September 1995, as a result of the 1993 Defense Closure and Realignment actions. The closure ceremony took place on Sept.29, 1995.

Bombardier Transportation established a plant on the site. It has produced standard passenger cars, locomotives, hybrids, light rail cars and subway cars.

Current status

Plattsburgh Airbase Redevelopment Corporation (PARC), led by the nationally known planner, David Holmes, was created to manage the 5000 acre property. Holmes had overseen the redevelopment plan which included a mixed-use solution to overcome the economic shortfall that occurred when the military moved out. Uses included Aviation, Biotechnology, Industrial and Recreation. Ultimately, PARC split up the base into 165 parcels for redevelopment.

While community leaders feared in 1995, at the time of the actual closure, that the North Country's economy would collapse, this did not turn out to be the case; the base actually only accounted for $42 million in economic impact (about 8 percent of the local economy) because it was so isolated. It was anticipated that it would take 20 years to replace the impact. But in 1996, Dave Werlin of Great Northeast productions and PARC's Director of Planning, Nate Sears, devised a way to make up $30 million in 3 days.

On 16 and 17 August 1996, PARC hosted a massive music concert on the runway of the old decommissioned airbase by the band Phish. The concert, known as The Clifford Ball, was attended by 70,000 people and added $30 million to the local economy. The concert was the largest Rock Concert in North America in 1996 and drew attention from The New York Times, MTV and numerous news media world-wide. The concert was possible due to a coalition of entities, including the New York State Police, County Sheriff, City of Plattsburgh, CVPH Medical Center, the Clinton County Health Department and numerous other private and public organizations. Although Phish wanted to return, PARC's Board of Directors declined in a 6-1 vote and subsequent Phish concerts were held at the former Loring Air Force Base in Limestone, Maine, where they generated $25 million and $40 million for the local community, respectively in 1997 and 1998.

NSYNC were scheduled to hold a concert at the former base on June 10, 2001 as part of the PopOdyssey tour, but it was cancelled.

As of 2016, PARC tenants on former airbase properties include:
 * Wood Group
 * Pratt & Whitney Industrial Turbine Services
 * Sikorsky
 * UPS Air Freight
 * FedEx Air Freight
 * PrimeLink
 * Gradient etc.

The site also hosts a number of specialty services on site, including acres of parks, trails and playing fields as well as an 18-hole golf course, a day care center and a gym.

On the original Military Reservation, on the shores of Lake Champlain, is the Old Base Museum Campus. There are five museums within 200 feet of each other – the Clinton County Historical Museum, the Air Force Base Museum, the Champlain Valley Transportation Museum, the Kids' Station Children's Museum and the War of 1812 Museum, all housed in former military buildings. Included on the Museum Campus are edifices built in the 1890s including Officers' Row, the old Headquarters Building and the old fire station. The historic district around the Oval parade ground saw General Leonard Wood's founding of the Plattsburg Idea, a training program started to prepare officers for duty in World War II. There is also a Memorial Chapel, the Clyde A. Lewis Air Park, and the Old Post Cemetery, in which a Spanish American War Medal of Honor recipient is buried. Two of the original structures built just after the War of 1812 are still on Campus – the Old Stone Barracks and the original powder magazine.

The USAF lists Plattsburgh among its BRAC "success stories."

The base's reuse and the circumstances surrounding it were chronicled in Flying High Again: PARC's Redevelopment of Plattsburgh Air Force Base, written by Marian Calabro and published by CorporateHistory.net in 2008.

Environmental problems
It is designated a military superfund site.

Historically, site contaminants originally included volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including trichloroethene (TCE), dichloroethene (DCE), and vinyl chloride, fuel-related compounds (mainly benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene), pesticides, various metals including chromium and cadmium, and lead and munitions waste from an old small arms range and an explosive-ordnance demolition range. As stated in other sections of this site profile, most of the formerly-contaminated areas have been cleaned up. In addition to groundwater contamination, other potential exposures included direct contact with and ingestion of contaminants found in soil. The only known remaining soil contamination at the former base is at the landfills, which have been capped and are fenced off.

Additional potential risk to human health exists due to soil vapor intrusion (SVI) into buildings by VOCs. However, this contaminant pathway has been extensively studied across the entire base, mainly in association with the FT-002 / Industrial Area Groundwater OU. Soil vapor extraction (SVE) systems were installed at 3 buildings in the industrial area of the base where concentrations of VOCs warranted mitigation and/or remediation. In addition, a large portion of the base is covered by a LUC/IC for SVI that requires either mitigation of risk or sampling and evaluation of risk prior to the construction of new buildings or modifications to or change in use of existing buildings. Any sampling and risk evaluations conducted would be reviewed by the Air Force and regulatory agencies, and continued monitoring or mitigation, as necessary, would be required. Affected property owners must also certify compliance annually with the Air Force, which also conducts annual LUC/IC inspections.

Help:Files

Media files such as images, audio, or video often provide an excellent compliment to brilliant prose. Just as with any content that you upload, the copyright status must be compatible for use at Wikibooks. Please see Media for our official licensing restrictions.

Uploading files
Typically, the first step in using an image or other media file is to upload it to Wikimedia Commons. All files that qualify for use at Wikibooks are uploaded to Commons, except for fair use files, which must be uploaded to the English Wikibooks instead. Many media files are copyrighted without permission to redistribute, and cannot be uploaded to either location. See Media for details about which media files can be uploaded. Files on Commons are available for any language version of any Wikimedia project.

The preferred image formats are SVG, PNG, JPEG, and XCF. The preferred sound formats are Ogg (using FLAC, Speex, and Vorbis codecs) and MIDI. Videos must be Ogg files using the Theora video codec.

Choose a good name for the media file before you upload it, as you cannot rename it later. Once the file is uploaded, you should be able to read and make sense of its file page, which describes the file and lets readers see images in their original size.

Uploading a file to Commons is as simple as clicking upload file in the toolbox towards the bottom of the left-hand side menu (below the Wikibooks logo).

If you plan to upload to Wikibooks, follow the steps below. You must be logged in and have permission to upload files to Wikibooks.

 * 1) Visit the local upload page.
 * 2) Browse to the file's location on your computer by clicking the Browse button.
 * 3) Provide a name for the file if it is to be different from the name of the file as stored on your computer.
 * 4) Copy and paste the information template and fill it in:
 * 5) Describe your file.
 * 6) Give the source of the file (preferably a URL). If you took a screenshot, say so and indicate the software or website the screenshot represents.
 * 7) Provide the date the copyrighted work depicted was created or the date the copyrighted file itself was created.  If you are uploading a screenshot, this will be today's date instead.
 * 8) Provide the author of the work.  If the file is a screenshot of a copyrighted piece of software or website, provide the copyright owner.
 * 9) Copy and paste the non-free use rationale template and fill it in with:
 * 10) The page name where the file will be used.  A non-free file must have justification for each of its uses through separate non-free use templates.
 * 11) The copyright holder for the work depicted or the file itself.
 * 12) The source for the file; this will match the source in the information template above.
 * 13) Justification for why this non-free file must be used rather than any freely licensed alternatives.
 * 14) The purpose of this file and why it must be used for the book it is intended to illustrate.
 * 15) Choose the correct type of non-free media from the menu. This automatically inserts a tag such as non-free art or non-free stamp.

File pages
When a file such as an image, video, or sound clip is uploaded to Wikibooks or the Wikimedia Commons, an associated file page is created. The purpose of these pages is to provide information about the file, such as the author, date of creation, who uploaded the file, any modifications that may have been made, an extended description about the file's subject or context, where the file is used, and copyright information. In the case of an image, the file page shows a higher resolution version of the image, if available. To view the file page for an image or video, click on the image itself. For a sound file, click on the information icon,, near the sound clip link.

The description page consists of five parts:
 * The file itself
 * "File summary" - what the image is and is about as well as its origins.
 * "File history" - when a new version of a file is uploaded with the same name, the existing file is replaced and becomes available via file history. See page history.
 * "File links" - a list of pages that embed the file, either directly or through a template.
 * "Metadata" (images only) - technical information about the file and the equipment used to create it (camera model etc.)

The following are example pages for different types of files:
 * Images
 * Video
 * Sound
 * Mixed content (DjVu or PDF)

Using files
This section explains how to insert pictures into Wikibooks pages using wikitext. It describes options for specifying placement, alternate text for screen readers, captions, sizes, and links, and contains advice about panoramas and avoiding image stackups. The same syntax is used regardless of whether a file is from Wikibooks or Wikimedia Commons.

Thumbnails
A typical picture can be inserted with a line " " as shown below. Using " " generates a thumbnail, a picture that is typically sized differently from the original image. Several options can affect a thumbnail's placement and size.

On the left
By default a thumbnail is floated to the right of the page, with the text flowing around it. However, the tall "Wikibooks Help" box on the right of this page might collide with a right-floating picture, so our first example specifies " ", and just below it you can see what the resulting picture looks like:

The above text gives the image file name "Wikipedesketch.png", the image type "thumb" and alignment "left", the alternative text "A cartoon centipede reads books and types on a laptop.", and the caption "The Wikipede edits Using Wikibooks." A Wikibooks reader can click on the thumbnail, or on the small double-rectangle icon below it, to see the corresponding file page which will let the user see the image in its original size.

Although the above text may appear in multiple lines for formatting purposes, the actual image text is on one line, as it uses spaces without any line breaks. The " " and the first " " must be on the same line; other spaces and line breaks are ignored if they are next to " " characters or just inside the brackets. Some parts of the image syntax, such as the " ", do not allow spaces or line breaks, and the easiest way to get it right is to omit unnecessary spaces and line breaks.

Alternative text (alt text) is intended for visually impaired readers. Often the caption or page will describe the image inadequately, and where this is the case you can write alt=caption or alt=see adjacent text. If additional alt text is added, it should be a succinct description. Unlike alt text, a caption can contain wiki markup like " ". The caption text is placed underneath the picture.

Here's the same example again, this time in the context of some colored lorem ipsum dummy text with asterisks (*) showing where the image syntax appears in the text:

**

On the right
The default placement for a thumbnail is on the right:

**

Without flowing text
Although most thumbnails are combined with flowing text and are placed to the right or left, you can also place a thumbnail without text flowing around it. One way is to center it, using " ":

**

You can also place the picture to the left, without flowing text, using " ":

**

Thumbnail sizes
Normally a thumbnail has a width of 220 pixels (px). This width is used by typical readers, who have not logged in or who have not changed their preferences. You can set a different default width for yourself in My preferences under "Appearance:Files". The options are 120px, 150px, 180px, 200px, 220px, 250px, and 300px. Any image narrower than the preferred width is displayed at the narrower width.

The default behavior can make a tall, thin picture come out too large. For example:

**

The " " option can help fix this by informing the Wikibooks layout system that the image should have a narrower width than usual:
 * Upright images

**

The " " option normally creates an image that is about 75% of the width of the default. The exact width is computed by starting with the default thumbnail width, multiplying it by 0.75, and rounding to the nearest multiple of 10. Normally the default width is 220px so an upright image is 170px wide; changing one's default width within the range from 120px to 300px results in upright image widths ranging from 90px to 230px.

If the upright factor 0.75 is too large or too small, it can be specified explicitly. A factor of 1.0 uses the default thumbnail width, which is the same as not specifying " " at all; a factor less than or greater than 1.0 creates an image smaller or larger than the default. For example:
 * Shrinking upright images further

**

Short, wide images sometimes benefit from " " factors greater than 1.0. Factors greater than about 2.5 can generate large images that cause problems with some browsers. Although many image types, such as JPEG and PNG, do not handle enlargement well, SVG images have no problem with it. For example:
 * Short, wide images

**

You can also display an image of a specified width. Typically, if you specify a width in pixels, it should be at least 300px. Widths greater than about 550px may cause problems with some browsers, as stated above.
 * Width in pixels

To specify the exact height of a picture, letting the width scale to match, prefix the height with " ". The following example resizes the image to a height of 60px:
 * Height in pixels

 * Width or height in pixels, whichever makes the image smaller

If you specify both width and height of a picture, it is sized to whichever value would make it smaller. This will cause a picture to fit in a certain area, regardless of the image's actual size. Since the proportions of File:Flag of Scotland.svg are 5×3, specifying a width of 120px generates a 120×72px image, and specifying a height of 60px generates a 100×60px image, so a size field of " " generates the smaller of the two, namely, the 100×60px image:

 * Pixel counts vs. upright factors

Although pixel counts are easier to understand than upright factors, they adjust less well to user preferences. For example, suppose a picture contains some detail and by default is a bit too small, and you want to grow it by about 10%. Although " " and " " do the job equally well for the common case where the default width is 220 pixels, many of the users who set the default width to 300 pixels to work better with their high-resolution screens will be annoyed with " " because it will make the picture a third smaller than their preferred size. In contrast, " " will display the picture to them with a width of 330 pixels, and this is more likely to work well on their displays.

Pixel counts are typically better than upright factors for displaying combinations of pictures, some of which have known and limited sizes, and for displaying tiny icons that are intended to be combined with text.

Replacing " " with " " causes the image to be displayed in its native size, that is, the size that it was originally uploaded with. For example:
 * Native size

Panoramas
Very large pictures should not be put directly into books, as they cause problems in some browser environments. Images wider than 550px or so are often better treated as a panorama, which can be created with the wide image template. For example:

DjVu and PDF files

Images can be excerpted from DjVu or PDF files, with an optional page parameter. For example:

Avoiding stack-ups
One of the problems many users of floating pictures hit is that multiple pictures sometimes stack up vertically, particularly with large screens and wide images. For example, in many browsers the two pictures at the right of this text stack up awkwardly.

Often the best solution to this is simply to add more text, as is done below, but this sometimes is not possible. The following subsections show some other possible solutions to the problem.

Alternating left and right
Perhaps the easiest way is to handle multiple floating pictures is to alternate them left then right; this way they do not come into contact with one another, and so cannot stack up in an unattractive way. This has a disadvantage, though: people with very low screen resolutions (such as those using PDAs or netbooks) may find the result too awkward, albeit still readable.

Co-aligning
It is common to have two pictures that logically should be grouped together. The multiple image template is one way to do this. For example:

The same template can also align pictures vertically:

Galleries
A gallery displays several pictures in an array or similar layout. Perhaps the most flexible method is table syntax. For example:

There are other ways to make a gallery. One simple way is the  tag using the button in the edit toolbar above the editing text box.

 * Images are separated by new lines.
 * Captions are optional.
 * Notice that there are no brackets except for links within captions.
 * The default width and height is 120px.

Unfortunately, the gallery tag does not support alternate text, so it generates pages that are not accessible to visually impaired and other readers who cannot see the images. This can be overcome with the gallery template:

scroll

Forcing a break
As a final resort, you can force the browser to insert a break, making all text and pictures appear below the bottom of the first picture using clear. This can produce rather unattractive gaps, particularly in the accompanying text. Remember that text will flow and wrap differently for other users, based on their chosen browser, screen resolution, default font size, accessibility options, number of toolbars and sidebars (such as instant messaging panes) and more. Do not force page design just so that it looks pretty on your display. Hack only where absolutely necessary. Wherever possible, just use the simplest logical page flow.

Plain pictures
Most pictures in pages are thumbnails, but sometimes more specialized needs require finer grained control. A plain picture with no formatting can be inserted with:

In this plain picture the text " " is not visible as a caption. Instead, it appears as the title text of the image, commonly displayed as a tooltip during a mouseover. In a thumbnail the alt text defaults to empty, but a plain picture's alt text defaults to its title text if given and to the picture's file name if not; this default can be overridden with an explicit " " option. Title text, like alt text, will ignore any Wiki markup.

A plain picture can be placed anywhere in the page, and acts as a big character in the text, so that nearby text does not float or wrap around it. For example:

**

 * Note: To achieve a plain image with a caption, one can use plain image with caption. The caption is automatically added as the image's title and alt text, and any wiki markup used on it will be correctly displayed on the caption, but will be automatically stripped down from the alt and title text. See an example here.

Plain picture sizes
A plain picture defaults to the image's native size. This can be overridden with an explicit size. For example:

**

The " " option causes a plain picture to default to the same size as a thumbnail. As with thumbnails, the default can be adjusted with the " " option. If you use the common default of 220 pixels for thumbnail widths, the following example image's width will be 220 × 0.2 pixels, which rounds to 40 pixels:

**

Border
The " " option adds a one-pixel border, which can be useful when it is important to distinguish image from background. Here is the same picture with and without a border.

This generates "Flag of Japan.svg Flag of Japan.svg".

Horizontal placement
Like thumbnails, plain pictures can be floated left or right with text flowing around them; or centered or put left without text flow. The only difference is that the " " parameter is required to float a plain picture to the right, whereas floating right is the default for thumbnails. For example:

**

Vertical alignment
When a plain picture appears in text, it is aligned so that its vertical middle is roughly where the center of a lower-case "x" would be; if the image is larger than the line is tall, it sticks out both above and below. The vertical alignment syntax provides several options to adjust this. For example, the " " option:

generates "XFlag of Hungary vertical.svg" instead of the default "XFlag of Hungary vertical.svg". Available options for vertical alignment, next to the output that they generate, are , (the default), ,, , , , and .

Links
Normally a picture links to its image page, which describes the image, who created it, and links to the original image at full resolution. You can create a plain picture that links to some other location by using the " " option.

To link to some other page, specify its name in the link option along with an appropriate caption that hints to readers what will happen if they click on the link. This caption serves both as title text for the tooltip, and as alt text for visually disabled readers. For example, " " generates a flag that links to the book French.

To link to an external site, specify its URL in the link option along with an appropriate caption. For example, " " generates a flag that links to the English-language portal of the Belgian government.

A purely decorative image, which conveys no information and does nothing when it is clicked on, can be specified with an empty alt attribute. For example " " generates a flag that is purely decorative.

Image maps
You can link different parts of an image to different locations using an image map. For example, in the image at right, clicking a circle roughly corresponding to the left portrait takes the reader to William Jennings Bryan, clicking the right portrait goes to Arthur Sewall, and clicking anywhere else goes to. This image is generated by the following markup:

This imagemap markup specifies that the title text (tooltips) for the three regions are "William J. Bryan", "Arthur Sewall", and "1896 Democrats", respectively. The alt text for an imagemap region is always the same as its title text; the alt text for the overall image is given in the first line of the imagemap's markup. The underlying image's native dimensions are 3916×1980, and the coordinates are given in these dimensions rather than in the 300px resizing. As described in the image map documentation, regions can be specified as circles, rectangles, and arbitrary polygons, and the blue "i" icon can be moved or suppressed. Also, the image can be specified as a " " or " ", which means it has alt text and a caption in the usual way, with a double-rectangle icon instead of the blue "i" icon.

Linking without displaying
Let us say you want to link to the picture without displaying it. You can take the reader to the image page, where it tells them who uploaded it, when, what the copyright status is, etc.:

 * File:Wikipedesketch.png
 * File:Wikipedesketch.png

You can make the link say anything you want.

 * A cartoon centipede reads books and types on a laptop.
 * A cartoon centipede reads books and types on a laptop.

When the link is clicked the image is displayed with other text information at a reasonable size. The user can click through the resulting medium-sized image to get to the full size highest resolution image.

You can also send the user directly to the image:

 * [[Media:Wikipedesketch.png]]
 * [[Media:Wikipedesketch.png]]

This says " " instead of " ". When the user clicks on the link, the browser goes directly to the image. As before, you can change the text so it says anything you want.

 * [[Media:Wikipedesketch.png|A cartoon centipede reads books and types on a laptop.]]
 * [[Media:Wikipedesketch.png|A cartoon centipede reads books and types on a laptop.]]

This can be awkward if the image is quite large, for the full size image will be displayed when the user clicks the link.

Finally, you can link to one image from a thumbnail's small double-rectangle icon, but display another image using "Displayed image name". This is intended for the rare cases when the Wikibooks software that reduces images to thumbnails does a poor job, and you want to provide your own thumbnail. In the following example, the double-rectangle links to File:Anime stub.svg but the image displayed is File:Anime stub.png:

Galiote River

The Galiote River (French: Rivière Galiote) is a tributary of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, flowing in the municipality of L'Île-d'Anticosti, in the Minganie Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Côte-Nord, in province of Quebec, in Canada.

A forest road (north–south direction) serves the west side of the middle and lower part of this valley, connecting the Grand-Lac-Salé Ecological Reserve, and the main road passing through the center-north of the island.

Forestry is the main economic activity in this area; recreational tourism activities, second.

Geography
The Galiote River originates from the confluence of two mountain streams (altitude: 215 m), located in the south-central part of the island. This source is located in a forest area at:
 * 4.7 km west of Tour-Chicotte;
 * 11.4 km south of Lake Wickenden;
 * 94.7 km east of the town center of the village of Port-Menier;
 * 33.1 km south of the north shore of Anticosti Island;
 * 17.4 km northeast of the south shore of Anticosti Island.

From its source, the Galiote River flows on 17.0 km with a drop of 214 m, according to the following segments:
 * 4.9 m towards the south, collecting a stream (coming from the north-west), a second (coming from the north-east) and a third (coming from the west), up to a bend in the river, corresponding to a stream (coming from the west). Note: The place called Galiote-la-Chute is on the west bank of this bend in the river;
 * 4.2 m eastward in a deep valley, to a bend in the river, corresponding to a stream (coming from the northeast). Note: The place called Galiote-la-Fourche is on the southwest bank of this bend in the river;
 * 6.0 km towards the south in a deep valley, until the discharge (coming from the east) of two lakes;
 * 1.9 km towards the south, passing under the forest road bridge that runs along the southern coast of Anticosti Island, to its mouth.

The Galiote river flows on the east side of Gand lac Salé, Petit lac Salé, Baie des Sables and Côte de la Grande Traversée, on the south shore of Anticosti Island, in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. This confluence is located at:
 * 9.1 km east of Pointe de la Tourbe;
 * 14.6 km east of the mouth of the rivière du Brick;
 * 9.4 km west of the mouth of the rivière aux Rats;
 * 101.5 km east of the village center of Port-Menier.

Toponymy
David Têtu, responsible for the surveillance of wrecked ships from 1870 to 1879, at the Pointe du Sud lighthouse, used “Galiote River” to designate this river on his map. According to the 17th Report of the Geographic Survey of Canada (1922), this watercourse has been designated according to several graphic variations: Galiote River, River Galiotte, Sabotte River and Galti River.

The term "galiote" refers to a sailing ship, with round shapes, used by Dutch navigators. Throughout history, the term "galiote" has also referred to a coaster and a fishing sailboat. However, the origin of the attribution of this toponymic designation remains unknown. It is reasonable to believe that this toponym evokes the shipwreck of a galiote not far from the mouth of this river.

Anticosti Island is nicknamed the “Gulf Cemetery” because more than 400 shipwrecks have been recorded since the island was donated as a fief and seigneury to Louis Jolliet in 1680. On the one hand, this statistic further supports the hypothesis of the origin of the name of the Galiote river. In addition, similar toponyms of the waterways of Anticosti Island, such as Havre du Brick and Pointe à la Goélette, evoke shipwrecks. In 1959, the Commission de géographie du Québec retained the toponymic designation “Rivière Galiote”.

The toponym “rivière Galiote” was made official on December 5, 1968, at the Place Names Bank of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.

Lac-Salé Ecological Reserve
In 1991, the Quebec government established the "Lac-Salé Ecological Reserve" covering approximately 7000 hectares. Briefly, this reserve was delimited by the middle of the rivière du Brick from its confluence with the Honguedo Strait, going up the river to latitude 5,468,000 m N; thence, easterly, to the center of the Galiote river; then south following the center of the latter river, until its confluence with the Honguedo Strait.

Recreational tourism activities
Between kilometers 7 and 11, the Galiote river offers a wild setting with little steep edges. The stony plateau allows walking there if the water is low as if it is an unmarked path on the bottom of the river. In the surroundings, walkers often see hares and deer. The flora of this area includes many rare species.

Albert Clock, Barnstaple

The Albert Clock is a clocktower memorial in Barnstaple in Devon to Albert, Prince Consort, the husband of Queen Victoria. It has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since 1988.

Located in The Square in Barnstaple, the tower was built in 1862 at the suggestion of the then Mayor of Barnstaple, John Norrington, following the death of Prince Albert in the previous year. The tower was paid for by public subscription with some of the money being raised for the provision of a drinking fountain. The original design was for a tower without a clock.

At its solemn dedication ceremony in 1862 surrounded by local dignitaries the clock's pendulum was set to swing at 11.00 p.m., the hour Prince Albert had died. At the same time the water started to flow from the fountain. As Mayor Norrington, a teetotaller, stepped forward to take the first drink from the fountain a man threw a cupful of what was found to be gin into the water. Norrington was outraged at this indignity to himself, to the Queen and to the memory of Prince Albert. An investigation revealed that the mystery man was John Baker, the landlord of the Mermaid Inn and a local Tory councillor.

Designed by local architect Richard Davie Gould (c1816-1900), the tower is constructed with limestone ashlar with dressings of Devon marble and sandstone together with other local stones and patterned tiles. The tower has an octagonal shaft on a broader octagonal base surmounted with a square and corbelled clock chamber with a clock-dial in each face. The summit consists of a small belfry with a leaded spire and weather-vane. The bell is still inside.

The tower's base has a stair doorway on the South side, while on the North side is a water-trough. At the back of the recess is a panel of coloured tiles with a coat of arms in white marble above it. The drinking fountain, given by Sir William Fraser, MP, has been removed. On the East and West sides are pointed arches of moulded red sandstone with above an arch of different coloured local stones. Within the arches are commemorative marble plaques to Prince Albert.

The Albert Clock Tower was restored in 2009 with funding from Barnstaple Town Council and the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Styx (moon)

Styx  is a small natural satellite of Pluto whose discovery was announced on 11 July 2012. It was discovered by use of the Hubble Space Telescope, and is the smallest of the five known moons of Pluto. It was imaged along with Pluto and Pluto's other moons by the New Horizons spacecraft in July 2015, albeit poorly with only a single image of Styx obtained.

Styx is the second-closest known satellite to Pluto, and the fifth discovered. It was discovered one year after Kerberos. Styx is approximately 16 km across its longest dimension, and its orbital period is 20.1 days.

Discovery and observations
Styx was discovered by a team led by astronomer Mark R. Showalter, using fourteen sets of images taken between 26 June and 9 July 2012 by the Wide Field Camera 3 fitted to the Hubble. The discovery was announced on 11 July 2012. Styx is about half as bright as the dimmest previously known object in the system, Kerberos, and about one hundred thousandth as bright as Pluto. It was designated S/2012 (134340) 1, and informally referred to as P5.

The survey work leading to the discovery of Styx was in preparation for the mission of the uncrewed New Horizons spacecraft, which flew by the Pluto system on 14 July 2015. The discovery of another small Plutonian moon heightened concerns that this region of space may harbor more bodies too small to be detected, and that the spacecraft could be damaged by an uncharted body or planetary ring as it traversed the system at a speed of over 13 km/s. Tiny moons, such as Saturn's moon Pallene, tend to be associated with tenuous rings or arcs, because their gravity is unable to hold on to material ejected by meteoroid impacts and such diffuse material represents the chief navigational hazard. However, the New Horizons spacecraft did not detect any smaller moons or rings and it passed through the Pluto system safely.

Origin
The unexpectedly complex moon system around Pluto may be the result of a collision between Pluto and another sizable Kuiper belt object in the distant past. Pluto's moons may have coalesced from the debris from such an event, similar to the early giant impact thought to have created the Earth's Moon. The orbital resonances may have acted as "ruts" to gather material from the collision.

Physical characteristics
Styx was originally estimated to have a diameter of between 10 and 25 km. These figures were inferred from the apparent magnitude of Styx and by using an estimated albedo of 0.35 and 0.04 for the lower and upper bounds, respectively. Measurements made by New Horizons found an elongated shape with dimensions measuring approximately 16 ×. It is thought to have formed from the debris lofted by a collision, which would have led to losses of the more volatile ices, such as those of nitrogen and methane, in the composition of the impactors. This process is expected to have created a body consisting mainly of water ice.

Orbit
Styx orbits the Pluto–Charon barycenter at a distance of 42,656 km, putting it between the orbits of Charon and Nix. All of Pluto's moons appear to travel in orbits that are very nearly circular and coplanar, described by Styx's discoverer Mark Showalter as "neatly nested ... a bit like Russian dolls".

It is in an 11:6 orbital resonance with Hydra, and an 11:9 resonance with Nix (the ratios represent numbers of orbits completed per unit time; the period ratios are the inverses). As a result of this "Laplace-like" 3-body resonance, it has conjunctions with Nix and Hydra in a 2:5 ratio.

Its orbital period of 20.16155 days is about 5.0% from a 1:3 mean-motion resonance with the Charon–Pluto orbital period of 6.387 days. With the other moons Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra, it forms part of an unusual 1:3:4:5:6 (period ratio) sequence of near resonances. In contrast to the orbit, Stygian rotation is chaotic; like the other small Plutonian moons, Styx is not tidally locked, and its rotation varies over short timescales (at a rate of about 3.239 days at the time of the New Horizons flyby).

Naming
Before any of Pluto's moons were discovered, author Edmond Hamilton referred to three moons of Pluto in his 1940 science fiction novel Calling Captain Future, naming them, , and.

Upon discovery, Styx received the minor planet designation S/2012 (134340) 1 because it was the first satellite (S) discovered orbiting the minor planet 134340 Pluto in 2012. It is known informally as "P5", meaning the fifth Plutonian moon to be discovered. The designation S/2012 P 1 has sometimes been used, following the pre-2006 format where Pluto was still considered a planet and given its own single-letter abbreviation.

The convention for naming Plutonian moons is to use names associated with the god Pluto in classical mythology. To decide on names for P4 and P5, Mark Showalter and the SETI Institute, on behalf of the discovery team, conducted a non-binding internet poll in 2013, in which the general public was invited to vote for their favorite names. The public could choose from a selection of Greek mythological names related to the god Pluto, or could propose their own names. After the initial announcement, William Shatner, the actor who plays Captain James T. Kirk in the Star Trek franchise, proposed the names Vulcan and Romulus, ostensibly referring to the fire god Vulcan (a nephew of Pluto), and to Romulus the founder of Rome, but also alluding to the fictional planets of Vulcan and Romulus in the Star Trek universe. The 'Romulus' suggestion was discounted, as there is already an asteroid moon of that name, but Vulcan won the poll after Shatner tweeted about it, with Cerberus (the dog that guards Pluto's underworld) coming second and Styx (the goddess of the river of the same name in the underworld) coming third. The winning names were submitted to the International Astronomical Union. However, Vulcan was unacceptable to the IAU because it was not the name of an underworld figure and had already been used for a hypothetical planet inside the orbit of Mercury, as well as having given its name to the vulcanoids.

On 2 July 2013, the IAU announced that it had formally approved the names Styx for P5 and Kerberos for P4.

Didn't see this in a quick check of other dictionaries. There seem to be a lot of b.g.c. hits, but no consistent use or meaning. (Again, from only a cursory glance.) Is this worth cleaning up (that is, is it correct?)  --Connel MacKenzie 04:31, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Antoñín

Antonio Cortés Heredia (born 16 April 2000), commonly known as Antoñín, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Lugo.

Málaga
Born in Málaga, Andalusia to a Romani family, Antoñín started his career at lowly locals CD 26 de Febrero before agreeing to a four-year deal with FC Schalke 04 in July 2016. However, only days later, he returned to his previous club after failing to adapt to the new country, and joined Málaga CF in February 2017.

On 28 January 2018, Antoñín was loaned to Tercera División side CD El Palo, until June. He made his senior debut just hours later, starting in a 1–0 away loss against Loja CD.

Antoñín scored his first senior goal on 11 March 2018, netting the last of a 2–0 home success over CD Huétor Tájar. On 22 April, he scored a hat-trick in a 3–1 home defeat of UD Ciudad de Torredonjimeno, and finished the season with six goals in 15 matches.

Upon returning from loan, Antoñín was assigned to Málaga's B-team in Segunda División B. He made his first-team debut with the Blanquiazules on 21 September 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Juanpi in a 1–0 loss at Albacete Balompié in the Segunda División championship, and scored his first professional goal on 12 October in a 2–1 home defeat to Cádiz CF.

Granada
On 24 February 2020, Antoñín signed for La Liga club Granada CF until June 2024. He made his debut on 5 March in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, replacing Carlos Neva for the last five minutes of a 2–1 win (elimination on the away goals rule). Following the resumption of the season after the COVID-19 break, he made his top tier debut on 12 June again from the bench in a win by the same score at home to Getafe CF; on 1 July he scored for the first time to open a 2–0 win at Deportivo Alavés, a match in which he was substituted at half time due to a yellow card.

On 2 October 2020, Antoñín returned to the second division after agreeing to a one-year loan deal at Rayo Vallecano. He made his debut as a substitute the next day, and scored the last goal of a 4–0 home win over his former club Málaga.

On 19 August 2021, Antoñín returned to Málaga on a one-year loan deal. On 25 July of the following year, he moved to Portuguese Primeira Liga side Vitória S.C. also in a temporary deal, but finished the season with Cypriot side Anorthosis Famagusta FC.

On 28 August 2023, Antoñín terminated his contract with the Nazaríes.

User:BobRBogle/sandbox

Bob R Bogle (born c1963) is an American novelist whose works explore science, politics and American history, particularly of the American Civil War. His first published novel was Memphis Blues Again (2013), being published episodically by Ouroborous Independent Books. This was proceeded by a literary biography of science fiction author Frank Herbert called Frank Herbert: the Works (2006), currently in its 3rd edition, published under the Hotspur imprint.

Biography and Career
Bogle was born in Yuma, Arizona. He graduated from the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona in 1984 with a BS in Cellular and Developmental Biology. During his time as an undergrad he maintained the culture collection in Bob Hoshaw's Algal Research Laboratory. For about a year he worked in oceanography in the laboratory of Dr Greta Fryxell at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas.

Most of Bogle's professional career has been spent as a Medical Technologist (University of Arizona, 1991), beginning with a sixteen year stint at University Medical Center in Tucson (now Banner University Medical Center Tucson), where he worked in the fields of clinical microbiology, chemistry and histocompatibility testing in support of transplantation. In recent years he's worked as a traveling technologist in Missouri, North Carolina, Washington state and Indiana.

Bogle's primary interests involve science, the American Civil War and the works of James Joyce; he often tweets (Twitter handle @BobRBogle) about these matters. In 2019 he built and uploaded the Vicksburg National Military Park Monuments and Markers Database (VNMPMAMdb) to Google Maps, which seeks to locate every marker and monument, present and past, placed on the grounds of the Vicksburg National Military Park and its immediate surroundings. He has also collected several playlists of Civil War battles on his YouTube channel.

Publications
Bogle's first publication was the exhaustive literary biography Frank Herbert: the Works. In a 2020 interview Bogle said: "I became obsessed with Frank Herbert when I was in high school in the late 70s . . . Around 2004 I decided to re-read all of his works I could get my hands on, fiction and non-fiction, in as close to chronological order as possible. I wanted to read closely, to see how Herbert’s own thinking and writing skills had evolved over time. I compiled extensive notes along the way . . .Turning those notes into a book took a few years. Even so, it was only several years later that I finally published the book." Frank Herbert: the Works was first published in 2012.

Two collections of his short stories also appeared in 2012: Pretty Little Dead Things and Other Stories and Leve non, Lespri and Other Stories.

Episode 1 of Memphis Blues Again appeared in 2013, an ambitious novel of the American South that inter-cuts a century and a half of history with action in the present day. A new writing project has interrupted the progress of Memphis Blues Again. In the 2020 interview Bogle said: "Episode 2 [of Memphis Blues Again] is very nearly complete. The work in progress has kept me busy ever since I started writing the first draft. With some luck the new novel will come out in 2021, and I can get back to finishing Episode 2."

Talk:Gabrielle Solis

Explanation
I added a bit at the beginning explaining she was a fictional character as well as links to the ABC entry and Eva Longoria's. I'm not very good with layouts and templates though, so if anyone else wants to try to fix this mess of an article up in that regard, go for it.

Last name
Gabrielle hasn't changed her last name - she's still refered to as "Gabrielle Solis" by narrator Mary Alice, as well as other characters. She only used her maiden name once after her divorce - when trying to go back to modelling. This could easy be explained by the fact that this was her name during her modelling days - the only name she was know by to the public.

So could an admin please move this article back to Gabrielle Solis? Thanx! :) Pjär80 23:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

But technically she is divorced & the name "Solis" now has nothing to do with her. Therefore her character should be refered to as, Gabrielle "Gaby" Marques (formely Solis). Hiltonhampton 23:31, 20 February, 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but Mary Alice has said in numerous occasions after the divorce that her last name was Solis. A woman doesn't have to change her married surname after her divorce if she doesn't choose to. Gabrielle obviously didn't and just used her maiden name on one occasion when she was modeling. In episode 311 and 312, Gaby is at both times referred to as Solis. We should talk about these things before changing them back. Sfufan2005 02:29, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Addendum I have also provided the following links to support my case: Eva's ABC Biography and any recent ABC press release Sfufan2005 02:37, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

The character herself refers to herself as Gabrielle Marquez. We have not heard her frefer to herself as anything different since that occasion, so we must assume that she is going by Gabrielle Marquez, contrary to what Mary Alice wants to call her. Hiltonhampton 18:46, 25 February, 2007 (UTC)
 * That's original research unless anything further is revealed her name is understood to still be Solis. So, please stop changing her name. Sfufan2005 00:48, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I feel that she will always be mostly known by the viewing audience as Gabrielle Solis, thus this article should most definitely be titled Gabrielle Solis. Flyer22 02:09, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Why "Gabrielle Solis" is the correct title
Irrespective of how she styles herself during season 3 of the show, the character is clearly best known as "Gabrielle Solis". It is a name that was used by and for her all through the first two seasons and for part of the third. Until she has been known and refered to as "Gabrielle Marquez" on the show for long enough that she is thought of by that name by the viewers, a change is premature. It is not the same as keeping a real person under their chosen name, she is a fictional character... For all we know she may remarry Carlos, making the change utterly pointless. WjBscribe 19:35, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree on some level, on the other hand, Bree Van de Kamp is probably better known as such than as Bree Hodge, but we jumped to change that. Sean Hayford O'Leary 23:13, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * As I stated below, this article should be titled Gabrielle Solis. Flyer22 02:09, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Trivia
Its states that she starts screaming dollar amounts when she climaxes. First of all, shouldn't we identify what she is climaxing to & second of all wasn't that unique to that particular situation that she is in in that episode?

Name Change?
Shouldn't Gaby's name be changed for "Solis" to "Lang" since Bree's changed when she got remarried? <IP_ADDRESS>

 * Since there still ain't any official source for Gabrielle changing her last name this article ought to be moved back to Gabrielle Solis until such is made. Pjär80 00:00, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No official source but when Gabrielle got engaged to Victor she was saying to the press 'Soon i'll be Mrs Victor Lang' so that clearly shows she was intending to change her name and, there was no reference made to her changing her mind. Sparhelda
 * Well... Wikipedia isn't about what is "right" but what there is sources for. Are there any sources for Gabrielle Lang? Pjär80 21:33, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I have an idea. We can keep the name at "Gabrielle Solis", but under aliases, we put her married name? Is that OK? <IP_ADDRESS> 05:12, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Not really cause if the character's name has changed in the series then we should do the same i think. Sparhelda

Plz - It hasn't been stated that she have changed her name. This is an encyclopedia, not a DH fan site. Pjär80 17:10, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

I think the name "Solis" should be removed, since she has nothing to do with Carlos now. The title should be "Gabrielle Marquez" because she has been referred as such several times since her divorce. When there is a confirmation that she changed her name to "Lang" it should be "Gabrielle Lang". Canjth 15:20, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

 * We have already had this arguement before.--Hiltonhampton 21:31, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I feel that this article should be titled Gabrielle Solis...because that's her common name. Most people are not going to type in Gabrielle Lang or Gabrielle Marquez Lang when searching for this character, because those names are not her common name. And I'm certain that she is still listed as Gabrielle Solis on most official and unofficial sites, and even if that's not the case, divorced from Carlos or not, she is mostly known as Gabrielle Solis. Flyer22 02:09, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Regardless of her last name, I think this article should be titled "Gabrielle" rather than "Gaby". "Gabrielle" is used just as much as "Gaby", such as when Mary Alice says Gaaaaaabrielle in her narration (lol). Paul730 00:34, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm taking care of that right now. A little more on the name-change matter of this article is addressed in this link. For now, I'll have it changed back from its recent title of Gaby Lang to Gabrielle Lang, but I still feel that all articles on people, real or fictional (and other types of characters), with a name that is so common for them, should be titled as that name. Flyer22 01:40, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I've moved the page from Gaby Lang to Gabrielle Lang. That much seemed uncontroversial. Whether the page ought to be at Gabrielle Lang or Gabrielle Solis is a separate question, which seems slightly less clear. If Gabrielle Solis is really much more commonly recognized, then I'd suggest we put the article there. -GTBacchus(talk) 02:50, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I believe the name should be the one she started with. Lois Lane wasn't moved to "Lois Kent" when she married Clark. You can note that she got remarried in the article, but Wikipedia doesn't deal in continuity, so that fact that she got married--and the same goes for Bree's article--is irrelevant to the fact that the character was originally called Solis.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  03:00, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Similarly, Jean Grey is actually called Jean Grey-Summers, but the article title is Jean Grey. Same with Mary Jane Watson. In Gaby's case I doubt it matters in the long run, since she'll inevitably end up back with Carlos again (and that's just me speculating, not a proper argument I'm using to prove a point).  In Bree's case I'm not so sure; she's frequently referred to as Bree Hodge in the show.  I'm not sure I agree with Bignole that it should always be the original name.  Hypothetically, what would happen if Bree kept Orson's name for a further four seasons, should the article still be called "Van de Kamp" even though that wouldn't be her name for the majority of the show? Paul730 03:17, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

 * That's like saying, what if Jean Grey-Summers keeps "Summers" for the next 20 years, should we change the article name, or simply note that she is currently known as, or has been known as ____ for the past 20 years? ABC doesn't seem to want to correct their own website, as she's listed as Solis on Longoria's bio and "What the show's about". Should we change Susan Mayer's last name because she's recently married? What if you have a character that marries and divorces as often as she changes her underwear? That's why we go with the original name, and make note of the changes, because we aren't here to satisfy continuity issues.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  03:55, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

 * But Jean Grey will still be known as Jean Grey in the films, Ultimate comics, cartoons, and all other adaptations, even if her Earth-616 (that's mainstream Marvel comics for non-geeks) name is Summers. No matter what, the "Greys" will always outnumber the "Grey-Summers".  But with DH, there's only the one version, so with a few more seasons, "Hodge" will equal "Van de Kamp" in terms of usage, at least in-universe.  I don't belive that "Mayer" and "Solis" should be moved to "Delfino" and "Lang" right now, that's recentism.  But in the long run, should we always stick with the first name? Paul730 04:08, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I see both, your side and Bignole's side, on this matter, Paul. It looks as though the three of us — six, if you count three other editors above us in this section — agree that this article should be titled Gabrielle Solis. As for how I feel in general about a name that a character is introduced as, I am more about whether that name is their common name. If it becomes their common name, then I feel that the article should be titled that. If Gabrielle became as well known by Lang to the audience as she is by Solis, then I'd be perfectly fine with her article being titled Gabrielle Lang. To give an example...Kendall Hart...yes, her common name is Kendall Hart, but she is also now commonly known as Kendall Hart Slater, so I feel that it's fitting and fine that her article is titled Kendall Hart Slater. Similar topics about the matter of the change of a woman's common name (real or fictional) can be found with this link and this link, to see what others are feeling about these matters as well. Moving this article back to Gabrielle Solis, though, means that we will most likely have to deal with editors who are unfamiliar with Wikipedia's common name policy moving it back to either Gabrielle Lang, Gabrielle Marquez, or Gabrielle Marquez Lang...unless we get those names protected, as in this article from being moved to any of those alternative names. Flyer22 04:59, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You know this is just the same debate as what happened over at Buffy the Vampire Slayer--it comes down to, "how do you determine what is commonly used?" Is it by how long they've had the name, or by how often that name is used in the culture?   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  11:49, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not so about it being like the Buffy the Vampire Slayer article debate, Bignole. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer article debate was more over which is more notable, the movie or the show of the same name. With this issue, however, I feel it's even far easier to say that Gabrielle Solis is her common name. If we're arguing which is more notable for her, Solis or Lang, which that is probably what you mean in it being like the Buffy the Vampire Slayer debate, then I sort of agree that it's like that debate, but still different enough, and I'd say "Solis" a lot faster here. As for determining, I would say that once a character is often referred to by that name, not only on the show but my the media, as in television critics and such, meaning that that name is the most common for the character or has become the most common for the character, when it's the name that most people think of... And by think of, I mean when it is the name that the character is so referred to, that it is either their only name or has become so much more prominent than any other name they have. Flyer22 17:14, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I agree with you Flyer. Perhaps in a couple of years, we'll all know Gaby as "Lang" (I doubt it) but in any case, her and Susan's pages should be moved back to "Solis" and "Mayer" for now, to avoid recentism.  When moving back, we could put "WARNING - PLEASE DO NOT MOVE PAGE AGAIN WITHOUT DISCUSSING FIRST" or something in the edit summary, that way editors would see it in the move log if they tried to change it?  Paul730 05:13, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * If there's a consensus to go with the more well-known names, then it's an easy matter to make one edit to each redirect located at a more recent name - put it into a redirect category for example - and then anybody trying to move it back will have to go through WP:RM. It sounds kind of devious, but I think it's fair in cases such as this. -GTBacchus(talk) 05:35, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

As many already has said, the big problem here is that the articles keeps moving around without being proceeded by a discussion. Concerning the actual name, I'd prefer Gabrielle Lang, given that that's her current name, but if the general opinion is to have it Gabrielle Solis, I'm OK with that as well. Concering Susan, she introduces herself as Susan Mayer in ep. 4.01 - thus I can't see any reason for any other name of the article. Pjär80 14:54, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm more for GTBacchus' solution in us combating editors from changing this name from Solis than I am in putting a message that they, and I mean the newbie editors more so, are more than likely to ignore. But I'd still prefer us getting those names protected from being used to move this article to. Those names should be locked...until somehow, if ever, Gabrielle becomes just as well-known by them as she is by Solis. And while we're on the subject of moving Gabrielle's article, why is Eva Longoria's article titled Eva Longoria Parker? She is clearly better-known as Eva Longoria, and Wikipedia common name policy states that her article should be titled Eva Longoria. I mean, is she going by Eva Longoria Parker now as her career name? If so, then I can see that being a valid reason for her article being of that title. But if she is not going by that name as a career name, her article should be titled Eva Longoria. Flyer22 17:14, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Eva did legally change her name. She was referred to it publicly on something I was watching, a sporting event this past weekend.  Not that I agree or disagree, I just happened to pick up on the name.  As for Gaby, she's still listed as Solis on IMDB and is referred to as such on the show.  As she's currently having an affair with Carlos, and her marriage is shakey, it doesn't seem likely "Lang" will last long. For anyone's info this is how ABC lists the characters:  From her unique vantage point, Mary Alice sees more now than she ever did alive, and she's planning to share all the delicious secrets that hide behind every neighbor's closed door in this seemingly perfect American suburb.
 * "Desperate Housewives" stars Teri Hatcher as Susan Mayer, Felicity Huffman as Lynette Scavo, Marcia Cross as Bree Van De Kamp, Eva Longoria as Gabrielle Solis, Nicollette Sheridan as Edie Britt, Brenda Strong as Mary Alice Young, James Denton as Mike Delfino, Doug Savant as Tom Scavo, Ricardo Antonio Chavira as Carlos Solis, Andrea Bowen as Julie Mayer, Shawn Pyfrom as Andrew Van De Kamp, Joy Lauren as Danielle Van De Kamp, Rachel Fox as Kayla Huntington, Dana Delany as Katherine Mayfair, Lyndsy Fonseca as Dylan Mayfair, Zane Huett as Parker Scavo and Brent and Shane Kinsman as Porter and Preston Scavo. And that is current because Dana Delany is listed. CelticGreen 23:28, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Just FYI - The press releases ain't all reliable: Neither Rachel Fox nor Joy Lauren star as of the fourth season. Pjär80 14:02, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * That's not a press release above you, it's how ABC lists the characters, past and present seem to be included. As of yet they don't want to give away if or if not Danielle will come back.  Since that's considered spoiler information, it would make perfect sense to include her.  Also, the DVD directs people to the ABC website so logic dictates their names be included.  I noticed last night, Eva's name includes "Parker" at the end and "Mary Alice" still referred to Gaby as Solis.  IrishLass0128 16:24, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * If you want to go by the press releases you will have to argue that Bree is moved to "Bree Van De Kamp" again.
 * However - if Mary Alice has referred to Gaby as Solis during the fourth season (which she might, even though I've missed it), I can't agree with you more - Gabrielle Solis is the proper name for this article. Pjär80 13:49, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, to the individual that said the press release (which it is not a press release) was wrong because Joy Lauren was no longer on was wrong. She's coming back in the next couple of episodes. If you look here Character Bios DH you'll see Solis, and Van de Kamp are correct.  I would never look up Bree any other way than Van de Kamp.  And "Mary Alice" again referred to Gaby as Solis, not Lang.  IrishLass0128 13:33, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I've moved the page, per this discussion, and added redirect categories to Gabrielle Lang and Gabrielle Marquez Lang. Thus, these two pages have a non-trivial edit history, and moving the page to one of those titles would now require administrative assistance. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. -GTBacchus(talk) 20:58, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you, GTBacchus. Flyer22 23:09, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Just now, in the 10/28 episode, her yard workers referred to her as "Mrs. Lang." Does that mean she changed her name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yellowstone County Girl (talk • contribs) 01:12, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I think that her last name has officialy been Lang for a while. Does that mean that we should change this article to Gabrielle Lang? No, because as addressed above, her common name is Gabrielle Solis. She's still mostly listed as Garbrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives-related instances, whether on the internet or merchandise that is being sold. And there's a good chance that her last name will officially again be Solis. Flyer22 01:28, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Juanita Solis (6)???
- Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't Juanita be 5 at the most? 5 years into the future and if I remember well, 5 years ago, Gabrielle wasn't even pregnant.

If this page contained all of Disanto's accomplishments and her controversies I could see including the content I removed. However to simply have a stub page where the majority of the content is meant to hurt the person politically seems to me to go against the spirit of wikipedia as a non-biased source for information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryno35 (talk • contribs) 23:16, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Inaccurate and Innappropriate content
The majority of this content is meant to hurt the subject of this article politically. It is not relevant to the biography of the subject. At least one editor User:Velella thinks the content is appropriate because "when a politician posts material herself that appears to show support for white supremacist views, then that is something very significant". However the social media post in question did not in any way "show support for white supremacist". This is the opinion of User:Velella and shows the political bias they bring to the editing of this article. As it stands now the content is inaccurate. The subject is no longer a member of the South Dakota House or Representatives. Ryno35 (talk) 23:24, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

 * The content, that has been there since 2017, is supported by reliable sources including the Washington Post. A politician and a whip in the state legislature publishing the sort of content that she did is highly notable and has a bearing on her political views and possibly those of the party she represents. The post was withdrawn some time later and an apology was made but there was no denial of the facts. Removing such content amounts to white-washing a relevant history. For the record, I have no political opinions relevant to the United States, nor do I edit Wikipedia with any political agenda. To do so would be an anathema to the principles of Wikipedia.

Beginner Japanese/Kanji

Lesson
are the logographic characters of the Japanese language. They are based on the Chinese Hanzi and to some degree are mutually readable, but there are some major differences as well. In fact, guessing the meaning of a kanji based on its Chinese meaning can be misleading.

The kanji do not convey the entire meaning of a word, but its base meaning. Its grammatical use is determined by the surrounding particles and the following kana determine its tense. Also, Japanese does not have a Kanji for every word, especially ones borrowed from English or other Western languages. Nevertheless, to understand the Kanji is at the heart of understanding the Japanese language, and if you cannot read the Kanji, at least at a basic level, the large numbers of homonyms in Japanese can cause much confusion.

Readings
A single Kanji can be read (pronounced) in many different ways, depending on its context. These readings are categorized into two groups - that of Chinese origin, (On-yomi) and Japanese origin , (Kun-yomi).

It is often the case that a Kanji has more than one reading of Chinese origin. This is because the importing of Chinese letters (with their readings) did not occur just at one time from one region. To help figure out how to pronounce a kanji, kana is printed next to a kanji like in this example:
 * [[Image:Furigana example.png|thumbnail|center|The hiragana over the kanji tell you that this word should be pronounced ふりがな]]

When kana is printed next to a kanji, like above, it is called furigana.

On yomi
, (on yomi) is the Chinese reading, which is most commonly used in compound words and for numbers.

It may be useful to note that in some Kanji databases, the on reading is written in Katakana instead of Hiragana.

, (ichi),, (ni), , (san), , (shi) are the first four numbers and all are , (on yomi).

Kun yomi
, (kun yomi) is the Japanese reading, which can be read as a separate word or can be used in compounds.

This reading generally will be written in Hiragana in Kanji lists.

, (tsuki) and, (hi) are the moon and sun and are in  (kun yomi).

Nanori
(nanori yomi) is the Name reading, which is used for people's names and for places.

The 康 read as やす (yasu; as in 徳川家康) and the 信 read as のぶ (nobu; as in 織田信長) are both written in 名乗り読み (nanori yomi).

Kanji Repetition
The 々, or ノマ (noma) symbol indicates the repetition of a Kanji. An example of a repetition is wareware, which indicates "us" or "our group" and is written as 我々 instead of 我我, although they are both the same. The same is true with, "people".

Hyon Song-wol

Hyon Song-wol (born 1977 ) is a North Korean singer, band leader, and politician. She is the leader of the Moranbong Band and of the Samjiyon Orchestra. She was formerly a featured vocalist for the Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble in the early 2000s, a pop group which found fame in North Korea in the late 1980s and 1990s. She has been a member in the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea since 2017.

Early career
Hyon was a vocalist for the Wangjaesan Light Music Band and Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble. Her biggest hit was the song "Excellent Horse-like Lady", a 1999 song extolling the virtues of a Stakhanovite textile factory worker. The accompanying music video stars Hyon in the role of "the heroine, dashing around a sparkling factory with a beatific smile, distributing bobbins and collecting swatches of cloth at top speed." The lyrics include:

Our factory comrades say in jest, Why, they tell me I am a virgin on a stallion, After a full day's work I still have energy left...

They say I am a virgin on a stallion, Mounting a stallion my Dear Leader gave me. All my life I will live to uphold his name!

Hyon's other best known songs include, "Footsteps of Soldiers", "I Love Pyongyang", "She is a Discharged Soldier" and "We are Troops of the Party".

Marriage and rumors of involvement with Kim Jong-un
Hyon disappeared from public view in 2006 when, according to reports in the Japanese media, she married a North Korean army officer with whom she had a child. She was reported to have known Kim Jong-un, the youngest son of former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, since they were both teenagers. South Korean government sources told the media that Hyon and Kim Jong-un had been romantically involved in the early 2000s after he returned to North Korea from his studies at a public school in Switzerland. His father reportedly disapproved of the relationship and the younger Kim and Hyon broke it off.

Following Kim Jong-il's death in December 2011, Kim Jong-un was thought to have resumed the relationship. According to South Korean intelligence sources, "rumors about the two having an affair have been circulating among Pyongyang's top elite".

In early July 2012, public interest in Kim Jong-Un's personal life increased when Korean Central Television, North Korea's state-run media station, released footage of Kim sitting next to a then-unidentified woman who frequently appeared with him in public events. South Korean intelligence officials initially identified the woman as Hyon. However, on 25 July 2012, North Korean media announced that the woman was Ri Sol-ju.

On 16 November 2023, The Korea Times published an article in which Choe Su-yong, a former official at the National Intelligence Service (NIS), alleges that Hyon is the mother of Kim Jong-Un's eldest child. Choe also alleges that this child is a son known as Il-bong.

Execution rumor
On 29 August 2013, South Korean newspaper The Chosun Ilbo reported that Hyon had been executed by firing squad on the orders of Kim Jong-un along with eleven other performers, including violinist Mun Kyong-jin, both of whom had allegedly made illegal pornographic videos. According to a source quoted by the newspaper, "They were executed with machine guns while the key members of the Unhasu Orchestra, the Wangjaesan Light Music Band and the Moranbong Band as well as the families of the victims looked on".

Pyongyang's state news agency KCNA denied claims that the singer was executed, and a Japanese news magazine reported that she was seen subsequently.

On 16 May 2014, Hyon appeared on North Korean television participating in the National Convention of Artists. However, at the time, some theorized that the government may have used an older video to make it seem as though she were still alive.

Later career
Hyon is the leader of the Moranbong Band and of the Samjiyon Orchestra.

In December 2015, Hyon travelled to Beijing to perform with the Moranbong Band in a series of private concerts.

In 2017, she was appointed to the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea. She participated in talks with South Korea to prepare for North Korea's participation in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. During the Games, she organized concerts by North Korean performers.

Hyon's visibility in North Korean politics increased in 2020, when she made multiple appearances, including her inspection of typhoon-ravaged areas with Kim Jong-Un, in their country. She was re-elected to the Central Committee at the 8th Congress of the WPK.

Talk:Derek Ibbotson

"exactly" 4 minutes???
The article says that in 1958 Derek Ibbotson ran the mile in "exactly" 4:00:00 minutes. This statement is absurd and ridiculous, because time is not neatly divided into hundredths of a second, even if that is the precision to which it is measured by customary race timing devices.

There is an infinity of instants of time within the 1/100 of a second that would cause such a timing device to register 4:00:00, and the probability that Ibbotson ran "exactly" 4:00:00 is exactly zero. (Not to mention that the concept of the exact duration for a runner to run a fixed distance is a fuzzy concept, not amenable to exact times.)

O.K., this is a picayune point, perhaps one that only a mathematician would bother mentioning, but it is still true.Daqu 15:42, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

More to the point how could it have been the first 4-minute mile, if he was fourth in the race? What times did the first 3 run? Is it supposed to be a joke because it was the first 'exactly' 4-minute mile? Feeble if so... —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 10:04, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

It's just a little joke. The official time was 4:00.00 that's all. TheMathemagician (talk) 10:26, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
