Talk:Waiheke Island

Wine Industry
How can you have that much information about Waiheke Island (particularly local politics) in an international online encyclopaedia, and not mention the wine industry?JonathanG
 * Please add information on the Waiheke wine industry.-gadfium 18:55, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * My knowledge is at least 8 years out of date. It would be best written by a local. JonathanG
 * I agree this information would be valuable, but I'm unfortunately unqualified as well. Perhaps a local wine expert could help? --RobbieBurns (talk) 01:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Where are the weblinks to musicians? Potters?
Lots of local musicians, potters and sculpters on the island (including me: http://www.solharris.com) - have a look at www.waiheke.co.nz

Cheers Sol Harris

 * Well, unless they are individually notable (wouldn't know), there should not be a LIST on here at all. But if you have for example a website listing many Waiheke island artists (or a website covering Waiheke art, preferably not too limited on a very few people), we would certainly like to link to something like that. MadMaxDog 09:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Correcting myself, after learning a lot more about Wikipedia in the meantime, we could only link to something like that under certain circumstances - such as the link being non-commercial and relatively wide in application. MadMaxDog 08:21, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I suggest a link to http://waihekepedia.com/Main_Page as this site extends wikipedia down to the next level of detail including notable residents etc. Avowkind (talk) 06:54, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Foot & Mouth
Does this really belong/need to be here? The event lasted approximately one week and was not much more than a news item, nothing that has had a lasting impact on the island. Seems strange to have something of significant impact to the island (Matiatia redevelopment) followed by something who's long term effects (or interest) are about nil. Countrymike 18:22, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Be Bold and condense it. Or expand other parts. MadMaxDog 03:31, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I also vote for removing this, because it's essentially a news item, from 2005.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 08:11, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Waiheke Pronunciation
There needs to be a pronunciation at the beginning of the article. I looked up the exact pronunciation on an NZ forum, and found two Waiheke residents offering 2 different pronunciations: one was "Why-HECK-ee" and one was "Why-HICK-ee". Then, on the radio, I heard the news-caster (from Auckland) say "WHY-hick-ee" (notice the emphasis on WHY). Is this because of differing accents? I've even heard Americans/Aussies calling it "Why-HEE-key", and am thoroughly confused now.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 08:14, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Its going to be hard to get an OFFICIAL reference for any one pronounciation, I guess. Ingolfson (talk) 05:19, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Actually, the New Zealand Oxford Dictionary provides both correct Maori pronunciation, and typical vernacular pronunciation for. Firstly, as Maori exhibits syllable timing (that is no real syllable stress), any pronunciation with emphasis on the second syllable is wrong, so the news-caster is closest to being correct. Secondly, the second and third syllables should be the same (because they're written the same). Thus, it should be something like Why-heh-keh. Your observation about Americans (who say it like it rhymes with Waikiki in Hawaii) matches my observations. I'll add the IPA to the article. --Limegreen (talk) 11:28, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Main Beaches (work on this section here)
Here is a proposed beaches section/list. Please expand it until it's ready to be posted:

 * Oneroa Beach - (pronounced: "OH-ner-oh-uh) the main beach on Waiheke Island, located along the northern side of the town Oneroa.
 * Little Oneroa Beach - a small, secluded beach at the east end of Oneroa Beach, separated by a protruding cliff wall.
 * Palm Beach - (add description)
 * Blackpool - (add description)
 * Surfdale Beach
 * Onetangi Beach - a 1.87km long, north-facing ocean beach. For many years it has been the site of the Onetangi Beach Races.

Meaning of the name Waiheke
I have removed the "translation" and explanation of the word that names the island. First, a read of Williams Dictionary (the most definitive authority other than native) will show far more meanings to the words "Wai" and "Heke" than ebbing waters. Wai is also a form of memory, and Heke is a migrant or party of migrants, and one "meaning" that circulates the island is that it is a place of migrants remembering who they are... which given the number of new-age people who come to the island might be more accurate, albeit just as fanciful.

The story I deleted (that it came from a Maori urinating on the beach) is umm, a bit strange when one thinks about it. Unlike the prudish Victorian Englishman, for Maori peeing on the beach would hardly merit naming an island. The story also tends to be demeaning, the sort of thing an unhappy person might quote not out of historic accuracy, but to be mildly insulting.

However, what is more important is that the local historian, Paul Monin, conducted extensive research of the extant documents (in NZ the Maori court records are an invaluable source of historical documentation) and concluded that the devastation wreaked by Hone Heke on the local Maori (Heke got guns and his utu [revenge] was fatal) resulted in any Maori who would have known the naming origin to have been killed before records were collected. He writes: "Sadly, much of the traditional history perished along with the Ngati Paoa elders who fell victim to the ravages of disease introduced by Europeans about 1975 or to Ngapuhi aggression during an early round of the musket wards in 1821. The chain of oral transfer from generation to generation, critical for the survival of Maori heritage, suffered major fracture and the damage was not reduced by European failure to promptly record knowledge extant during the first half of the nineteenth century" (page 14-15, Waiheke Island - a history by Paul Monin 1992 ISBN 086469-158-0

The fact that some more recent sources, like Reed, repeat made up stories does not give them sufficient standing to be quoted in Wikipedia. Other stories say it was named after the cascading waters of Whakanewha Regional Park. Another says it was a stream at Onetangi. See http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nzlwihs/History/FunMap1948/TheStoryOfWaiheke.html that quotes a 1940's tourist map "The Maori name for the Island is “Te-Motu-Arai-Roa” meaning “The Long Sheltering Island”. They also called it “Motu-nui” or “Great Land”. The name “Waiheke” comes from a stream at Onetangi where seamen were accustomed to call for fresh water. It means “Cascading Waters”." (Note: Motu means island, not land. And Heke does not mean cascading)

According to the historical society (http://www.waihekemuseum.org.nz/) "The “long sheltering island” was already known by Maori as Waiheke when European visitors first asked for a name. The full name, Motu-Wai-Heke means island of trickling waters, or descending waters. (The Maori word for cascade is hukere). The deep forest litter absorbed the heaviest rains to be slowly released in trickling streams of pure clear filtered water. The island was widely known among Maori for its abundant water. In 1820, James Downie, the master of the store ship HMS Coromandel made a chart of the Tamaki Strait and the Coromandel coast. He labeled the island Motu Wy Hake, spelling the name as he heard it."

If there is a need to explain the name, the Historical Society's account is probably the most likely, but unless it is documented, it still may not meet the standard of an encyclopedia. Akonga (talk) 00:13, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Māori–Pākehā relations
"The local marae is on ancestral Māori land that had been promised to be set aside as Maori Reserve land and returned to Ngāti Pāoa, but remained owned by Waiheke County Council. "

This appears to be propaganda as opposed to historic fact. The marae was begun in 1981 by a collaboration of Pākehā and Māori at a time when there were few Māori on Waiheke, but significant respect for them by the local peoples. Subsequently, in 1984, a different action was taken in regard to the Waiheke Station on the eastern end in which locals (again predominately Pākehā) confronted central government over disposition of the Scott Farm, which had been taken for unpaid debts. The locals asserted it should be returned to tangata whenua (the term "mana whenua" was not used in those days), but as the subsequent part of the paragraph explains, Ngati Paoa was unknown.

How can the land owner, Waiheke County Council promise the land to Ngāti Pāoa when (a) Ngāti Pāoa was not known and (b) in 1981 the Waitangi Tribunal was effectively inoperative. The Tribunal did not become active until 1984, three years after the Piritahi marae began.

The marae's web page explains: "Piritahi Marae stands on a Auckland Council reserve and was built through the hard work of many in the Waiheke community including both Maori and Pakeha. The Marae is a nga hau e wha in that it welcomes peoples from all the fours winds and is not a tribal Marae. Due recognition and is respect is paid to Ngati Paoa as Mana Whenua and the interests of the wider Pare Hauraki iwi. It is a relatively recent Marae that has been developed and built as a community Marae with its first building starting construction in 1981.

I have just placed a "citation needed" comment for now, but unless it can be proven, it reads like propaganda not historical fact.

Akonga (talk) 22:03, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The current wording was added by an anonymous (IP) editor on 4 February 2022. Previously it said "The local marae was not ancestral Māori land held in Māori title but belonged to the Waiheke County Council." You can restore that text if you believe it to be more accurate.- gadfium 00:05, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Cotter Tunnel

The Cotter Tunnel is a railroad tunnel just outside Cotter, Arkansas. It brings the Missouri and Northern Arkansas Railroad under a ridge, over which U.S. Route 62 (US 62) travels. The tunnel is 1034 ft in length, and is hewn through solid rock in a northwest–southeast orientation. The southeastern portal is finished in sprayed concrete, while the northeastern portal is unfinished. The tunnel was built in 1903–04 by the White River Division of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and formed a vital transportation link to the area at that time. The rail line continues to see active freight service.

The tunnel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.

Peter Kenilorea Jr.

Peter Kenilorea Jr. is a Solomon Islander politician. He is the son of Peter Kenilorea, and was elected to the National Parliament of Solomon Islands in 2019.

Early life and education
Peter Kenilorea Jr. was born around 1973. His father Peter Kenilorea was the first Prime Minister of Solomon Islands. Kenilorea Jr. attended Su’u National Secondary School on Malaita, then transferred to Wesley College, Auckland, in New Zealand. Upon the completion of secondary education, Kenilorea Jr. pursued a Bachelor of Laws at the University of Waikato, followed by a Master of Laws in international law at the University of Nottingham.

Career
Kenilorea began his legal career with Jennifer Corrin Barrister & Solicitor in 1994. He began working for the Attorney General of the Solomon Islands in 1996, and left his government position for the United Nations in 2000. Kenilorea held several roles at the UN, returning to the government of Solomon Islands in 2017 as permanent secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and External Trade. Kenilorea contested the 2019 general election on behalf of the United Party, and was elected a member of parliament for East ꞌAreꞌare. Supporters of Kenilorea's predecessor, Andrew Manepora'a, filed a petition against Kenilorea alleging corruption in May 2019. In March 2020, the petition was dismissed.

The United Party supported Kenilorea's candidacy for head of government, an office won by Manasseh Sogavare. Soon after Sogavare's fourth cabinet took office, his government chose to end diplomatic relations with the Republic of China. Kenilorea sharply criticized the establishment of bilateral relations with the People's Republic of China. He offered public support to John Maneniaru, who described the diplomatic switch as the government serving "new Chinese masters" in October 2019. Through May 2020, Kenilorea petitioned for a change in leadership. As the Solomon Islands government took action against the COVID-19 pandemic in Oceania, Kenilorea continued bringing attention to Taiwan's humanitarian aid. He urged the government to serve Solomon Islanders, and regularly questioned government efforts regarding COVID-19.

Big Lonely Doug

Big Lonely Doug is a large Coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) tree located in the Gordon River Valley, 10km north of Port Renfrew on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. It is the second largest Douglas-fir tree in Canada after the Red Creek Fir in nearby San Juan Valley.

History
The tree was seeded sometime around 1000 CE.

In 2011, logger Dennis Cronin discovered the enormous tree while surveying a patch of forest that was to be logged for timber. He wrapped green ribbon around the tree with the words "Leave Tree" repeated along the ribbon, saving it from being felled. In 2014, photographer and activist T.J. Watt happened upon the tree and named it "Big Lonely Doug", a play on the tree's species name and its relative isolation amid the clearcut. The tree has since become a symbol of nature conservation in Canada, and was featured in the 2018 book Big Lonely Doug: The Story of One of Canada's Last Great Trees by journalist Harley Rustad.

Dimensions
These measurements were made by forest ecologist Andy MacKinnon on behalf of the Ancient Forest Alliance and University of British Columbia on 18 April 2014. The results were published the following week on 24 April 2014.

Stephanie Forrester (The Bold and the Beautiful)

Stephanie Forrester is a fictional character from The Bold and the Beautiful, an American soap opera on the CBS network. Stephanie is known for her marriage to the famed fashion designer Eric Forrester, and for her rivalries with Brooke Logan, who at first was a serious competitor for Eric's love, and later was involved with her two sons Ridge and Thorne. She had also rivalries with other women that were competitors for Eric's love, such as Margo Lynley, Beth Logan, Sheila Carter, Sally Spectra, Maggie Forrester, Lauren Fenmore, Jackie Marone and Donna Logan, but with some of them, she also developed friendships (like Brooke, Sally, Maggie, Lauren and Jackie). She had also rivalries with Deveney Dixon, who pretended to be her daughter Angela, and also was involved with her son Thorne, and Morgan DeWitt who was involved with her son Ridge, and also had a good friendship with her daughter-in-law Taylor Hayes (that out of respect for friendship with Stephanie, was involved with Eric only after her death). She has been portrayed since the show's inception in 1987 by Emmy-winning actress Susan Flannery. Stephanie's lung cancer diagnosis played a central role in the series, and the character died of the disease on November 26, 2012.

Casting and creation
The role of Stephanie was created for actress Susan Seaforth Hayes (who played Julie Olson Williams on Days of Our Lives) but Hayes turned it down. The producers then contacted Hayes' former Days co-star, Susan Flannery, and she eventually won the role. Hayes did, however, appear in 2003 and 2005 as Joanna Manning, the mother of Lauren Fenmore. Flannery initially did not want the role and the producers had to ask her three times to come in and talk about the role. Jane Elliot had been contacted by producer Gail Kobe for the Stephanie role, but lost to Flannery at the behest of creator William J. Bell. Stephanie was played from the show's beginning in 1987 by Flannery, who also directed some of the show's episodes. In September 2007, Flannery asked for a medical leave, as she had fibromyalgia.

Flannery, along with John McCook as Eric Forrester, Katherine Kelly Lang as Brooke Logan and Ronn Moss as Ridge Forrester were referred to as the "core four", having been in the series from the start. However, on August 11, 2012, it was announced that after twenty-five years, Moss would be leaving the show, breaking up the core four, and leaving Flannery, Kelly Lang, and McCook as the sole remaining characters from the show's inception. On October 10, 2012, it was announced that Flannery had decided to quit the show also, after twenty-five years. During a 2012 interview with TV Guide, Bradley Bell announced that Stephanie's character would die of cancer. Bell said: "It is huge. And amazing. I knew this day was coming but I've been in denial about it. I've been loving and treasuring every one of these last few days we have with Susan." Flannery signed a contract that would allow the show to build a storyline surrounding her exit. Stephanie departed on November 26, 2012, and reappeared in video recordings on December 7 and 10, 2012.

On February 9, 2018, Flannery returned for a cameo as the voice of Stephanie on Brooke and Ridge's wedding day.

Character development
Bradley Bell said that Stephanie: "has always been a woman of great strength and character." She is known for her long-running feud with Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang). However, in recent times, it has calmed down and they are extremely close. Bell has stated that: "Stephanie and Brooke are the true supercouple of B&B."

During a confrontation with Brooke, Stephanie collapsed. On September 24, 2010, after being taken to the hospital, Stephanie was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Brooke became the only person to know this secret; instead of "rejoicing" that her nemesis and arch-rival may soon be out of the picture, she became a confidant and motivator to Stephanie. At first, Stephanie refused treatment. Head writer and executive producer of The Bold and the Beautiful, Brad Bell, said that this was because she felt that her family and the family company (Forrester Creations) no longer needed her. Bell also said that "She'd rather die than be the center of attention." When asked about the development of the storyline, Flannery said that the advice she offered head writer Brad Bell—having survived through colon cancer herself—was for Stephanie to keep her sense of humor while diagnosed with Cancer. Stephanie then created a goofy bucket list; Bell said that this was all a part of her denial, and wanting to focus on something else other than her cancer.

In a second-level to the story, Stephanie meets a young woman, Dayzee Leigh (Kristolyn Lloyd) who gives her a new lease on life, and convinces her to undergo treatment. Dayzee lived on skid row in Los Angeles; Stephanie wanted to survive her cancer to advocate for poverty after learning more about it. Stephanie has since overcome her cancer. Prior, there was much speculation that Flannery was leaving the show, and that Stephanie would be killed off. During an interview with TV Guide in February 2011, she explained: When word first got out at CBS, a lot of people came over from The Young and the Restless — which shoots just across the hall from us — and they were saying, "Susan, are you really leaving the show? Is Brad nuts?" And I said, "Well, you never know what's going to happen in this business! The storyline not only raised awareness about cancer, it also raised awareness about the Union Rescue Mission through Dayzee's character. In 2012, she was diagnosed again, and according to Bell: "She receives the diagnosis that the cancer has spread and that there is no chance for survival." Stephanie decided to throw a party which would be the last time she sees her loved ones.

Storylines
Stephanie Douglas Forrester is the matriarch of the Forrester fashion dynasty and the mother of five children: Ridge, Thorne, Kristen, Felicia, and Angela. Eventually her husband Eric Forrester became interested in other women such as Margo Lynley and his former college love, Beth Logan. Eric dated Beth years earlier in college but left her when Stephanie became pregnant. Eric found Beth catering a party one night and reconnected with her. Stephanie decided against an affair with gigolo Clarke Garrison, whom Stephanie had hired to date Kristen. Stephanie was also enraged when Ridge began romancing Beth's daughter Brooke. Stephanie had mysterious absences. It was revealed she was visiting a comatose brain damaged girl; It was Angela, the daughter Stephanie had, who she said died at birth. The couple grew closer over Angela. However, it was revealed that the doctor hired an actress to play Angela to get money from the Forresters; and the real Angela had in fact died. The fake Angela escaped. Stephanie also had to deal with her warring sons, Thorne and Ridge, who were both in love with Caroline Spencer, Thorne's wife.

Stephanie lost it when her other son, Thorne, got involved with Brooke. Stephanie terrorized Brooke at the Big Bear cabin with a fire poker before punching her and trying to strangle her. But Thorne proposed to Brooke, and Stephanie had a stroke. In the hospital, Stephanie again tried to choke Brooke. The stroke made Eric reevaluate his feelings for Stephanie, and he remarried Stephanie at her bedside. Brooke tried to make inroads with the wheelchair-using Stephanie by massaging Stephanie's feet. Brooke and Thorne's ex-wife, Macy Alexander, were battling over Thorne and got into a car accident, where Macy died in an explosion. Macy's mother, Sally, exposed Thorne's continuing involvement with Brooke at Macy's funeral, and Stephanie had a second stroke. Stephanie softened toward Brooke a bit when Brooke gave Stephanie a photo album documenting Stephanie's life.

Years before, Stephanie had forced teenaged Morgan DeWitt to abort Ridge's baby. Morgan came back and befriended Ridge's wife, Taylor, in a scheme to again carry Ridge's child. Morgan faked a series of e-mails between Ridge and Taylor to make it seem like Taylor gave Ridge "permission" to impregnate Morgan. After Taylor found out and Morgan lost the baby, Morgan kidnapped Taylor's daughter, Steffy Forrester, and imprisoned Taylor. Morgan escaped after Ridge rescued Taylor and Steffy, but showed up as a clown for a Forrester kiddie party. Morgan fell into the pool and Stephanie left her to drown, but later Morgan tried to drown Stephanie in her bathtub. Stephanie survived, and later mended fences with her daughter, Kristen, after Kristen got involved with the HIV-positive Antonio Dominguez.

Massimo Marone, Stephanie's childhood friend and first love, came back to romance Stephanie, who wasn't interested. But when Ridge lost blood in an accident, it turned out that Ridge and Eric's blood types didn't match, and Massimo was revealed as Ridge's father. Stephanie hid the truth from Eric and Ridge. Meanwhile, Brooke, who couldn't have Ridge, had an affair with Deacon Sharpe, her daughter's husband. Stephanie was outraged, but later, Stephanie tried to help Brooke turn over a new leaf and even helped deliver baby Hope at the Big Bear cabin with Bridget.

Stephanie and Massimo saved Amber after Sheila kidnapped Amber to make way for Sheila's daughter, Erica Lovejoy. But when Taylor died in an altercation with Sheila, Stephanie was devastated, and the repercussions included Ridge, who'd been told of his paternity by Massimo, considering a relationship with Bridget, which forced the issue of Ridge's paternity. Stephanie finally told Eric that Massimo was Ridge's father, and Eric walked out on her. Stephanie warned Jackie Marone to stay away from Eric, although Stephanie encouraged Jackie's son, Nick Marone, to be with Brooke, and arranged for Nick and Brooke to be stranded on an island together. After Sally and Stephanie, who had become friends, drowned their sorrows, a soused Sally gave Stephanie a sloppy haircut. For Christmas, Stephanie gave Sally a locket with both their pictures inside.

Stephanie and Brooke bonded briefly when Ridge was believed to be dead. Later, when Thorne defected to Spectra, Stephanie apologized for having always played favorites with Ridge. Stephanie worried when Ridge claimed he had seen Taylor, but Taylor was indeed alive, having been spirited away from the hospital by Prince Omar, who healed Taylor in his palace and held her prisoner. Stephanie paid off a doctor and faked a heart attack to manipulate Ridge into returning to Taylor. The ploy worked, but when Brooke uncovered it, the entire Forrester family turned their backs on Stephanie.

Stephanie was about to leave Los Angeles when she found papers in Eric's safe that said Stephanie was the true owner of Forrester Creations. When it came out that Eric had known about it for decades, Stephanie kneed Eric in the groin, fired him, and installed Thorne as president. Meanwhile, Bridget was hurt when Brooke moved on with Bridget's ex-husband, Nick. Stephanie responded by giving Brooke a gift-wrapped gun with which to shoot herself. Instead, Brooke fired at Stephanie, but missed. Stephanie was stunned when Eric remarried Brooke to keep her away from Nick. But Eric and Stephanie drew together and remarried for the sake of their daughter, Felicia, who had cancer. Felicia "died," but Stephanie secretly forced an unconscious Felicia to have chemotherapy against Felicia's wishes, and the treatment was successful.

The low point of the Forrester-Logan feud was when Stephanie convinced Ridge to go for full custody of Ridge Jr and Hope Logan. Stephanie was convinced that Brooke would get in bed with a guy because he was available and Brooke was easy. So after following Brooke Logan to a bar she told a stranger, Andy, Brooke was lonely and needed company. When the stranger seemed hesitant, Stephanie let it be known that Brooke was a girl from the Valley and revealed Brooke kept a house key under the doormat. Within a week Brooke was raped when Andy used the house key. Ridge dropped the custody case. When Eric, Ridge, and Brooke found out Stephanie's role in Brooke's attack, Stephanie left town, to coincide with Susan Flannery's medical leave. Stephanie came back to ask for forgiveness and everyone soon learned about Brooke being raped and Stephanie's hand in it. In the end, Stephanie would be shot at the end of Forrester Creations Fashion show by Storm Logan, who had suppressed years of anger and resentment toward his father for abandoning his family decades earlier.

After Eric had an affair with Donna Logan he divorced Stephanie and married Donna then forced Stephanie out of Forrester Creations. Stephanie became a partner at Jackie M Designs. Stephanie attended the reading of the will of her good friend Bill Spencer. Bill's daughter Karen Spencer delivered a note that offered his respect to Stephanie over the years and asked that she mentor Karen just as she did Karen's twin sister Caroline. Stephanie enacted her revenge on Eric and Donna via a webcast titled The Logan Chronicles at Spencer Publications by working with Bill Spencer, Jr. Bill eventually took over Forrester Creations obeying his father's final wishes to avenge Stephanie. Ridge's daughter Steffy regained control of Forrester Creations by nearly seducing him and split the ownership between Ridge, Eric, Stephanie, and Taylor. Stephanie felt compelled to leave Jackie M and return to Forrester. Eric let Stephanie stay at the Forrester mansion, where she encountered Donna's mother, Beth, who was suffering from the latter stages of Alzheimer's disease. Stephanie and Beth had an argument at the Forrester pool that resulted in Beth drowning after Stephanie walked away. Donna wanted Stephanie arrested, a conflict which ended Donna and Eric's marriage and sent Eric back to Stephanie. Stephen tried to avenge Beth by seducing Stephanie's sister Pam into going off her medication. Stephen put a gun in Pam's hand and pushed for Pam to shoot Stephanie, but Stephanie got the gun away from Pam and shot Stephen instead.

Stephanie fought for her granddaughter Steffy's marriage to Liam Cooper, who was revealed to be Bill Spencer, Jr.'s son, warning him to think carefully but to finally choose between Hope and Steffy. Eric was looking for a way to celebrate 50 years with Stephanie, so when Sally's old friend, Gladys Pope (Phyllis Diller), arrived as a gardener who could also perform marriages, Stephanie remarried Eric in an impromptu and very informal ceremony at the Forrester mansion. In October 2012, Doctor Lewis told Stephanie that her lung cancer has returned. Despite the desperate pleas of her family and friends, Stephanie refused to accept treatment; she decided instead that she would like to enjoy her final days. An Irish-themed party was thrown in her honor. She was last left under Brooke's care after saying good-bye to all her loved ones. On November 26, 2012, Stephanie died of cancer lakeside at Big Bear cabin after asking Brooke to sing her to sleep in her arms.

Reception
In 2022, Charlie Mason from Soaps She Knows placed Stephanie first on his ranked list of The Bold and the Beautiful’s Best of the Best Characters Ever, commenting "Never in the history of daytime television, much less the history of The Bold and the Beautiful, has any character stung quite as hard as three-time Emmy winner Susan Flannery’s queen bee. Eric can hang whomever’s portrait he wants in the living room, but for our money, that space now and always shall belong to his first wife." In 2024, Mason from included Stephanie in his list of the worst mothers in American soap operas, calling her a "domineering mama" who would "grizzly lie to son Thorne that she loves all her kids equally — even though we all know that Ridge was her favorite. Followed by Felicia, the blonde girl, Angela, Fake Angela and then, finally, Thorne."

Talk:Walter E. Meshaka Jr.

Meshaka is the leading authority on exotic amphibians and reptiles in North America and has almost 200 publications. That makes him a pretty signficant herpetologist and scientist.
 * While making no comment on the subject's notability, "Leading authority" is according to a CNAH press release, of which Meshaka is a board member, and thus hardly a reliable, third-party source. Phrases like these, unless widely verified by reliable independent sources, are considered subjective peacock terms, and should not be used when more straightforward facts can more clearly inform. Neither should fluff like "has an extensive knowledge" or "known for his enthusiasm", which are equally true and trivial for any scientist in their field. --Animalparty-- (talk) 19:02, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * All academics publish. What counts is whether those publications made an impact and were noted. This has to be verifiable in reliable sources. The article contains several peacock terms that are either not sourced or sourced to book blurbs and such. If all this fluff is necessary to make this person appear notable, that actually makes me start doubting notability.. --Randykitty (talk) 19:19, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

OxGaurd_Grizzlygrips has known me for years, and thinks me to be of both "sound mind", and "swift judgement".

Midjet21 is cool too.

My interest include firearms, guitars, and Israeli affairs. I believe the IDF is the most effective military force in the world.

I will have those blocks to the right that indicate my interests as soon as I figure out how to implement them.

Hürrem Pasha

İskenderpaşazade Hürrem Pasha (died 28 August 1526), known in Arabic as Khurram ibn Iskandar Pasha, was an Ottoman statesman who served as beylerbey (governor-general) of Damascus Eyalet in 1523–1524 and afterward as beylerbey of Karaman Eyalet. He was killed in office during a battle to route rebel tribesmen in the province. His brother-in-law, Grand Vizier Ibrahim Pasha, erected a tomb for him the mausoleum complex of Rumi in Konya.

Life
Hürrem was one of at least two sons of the veteran Ottoman statesman and commander Skender Pasha, the other being Mustafa Pasha. He was the brother-in-law of Sultan Suleiman's grand vizier Ibrahim Pasha, who was once a slave of Iskender Pasha's family and married Hürrem's sister Muhsine Hatun.

Hürrem was appointed the beylerbey (governor-general) of Damascus Eyalet in 1523. He led a punitive expedition against the Druze of the Chouf subdistrict in Mount Lebanon led by the Ma'n family on 27 October 1523. The expedition ended with his burning of forty-three villages and the killing of at least four hundred Druze. He launched a second expedition in 1524 when his subashis (superintendents) were killed by the Druze. In the second campaign, thirty villages were burned, at least three hundred Druze were killed and three hundred Druze women and children were taken captive. His campaigns were celebrated by the Sunni Muslim scholars and poets of Damascus.

Hürrem was later appointed beylerbey of the Kayseri-based Karaman Eyalet in Anatolia. He was killed in the plain of Kayseri on 28 August 1526 attempting to suppress rebellious Turkmen tribes, who had launched a revolt in Anatolia that year. Hürrem's troops consequently fled and the rebels captured the horses, weapons and treasure of Hürrem's camp. On their way to join the kizilbas rebels in Azerbaijan, they were routed and massacred in Diyarbakir by Ottoman troops led by Hüsrev Pasha, the beylerbey of Aleppo Eyalet.

Death and tomb
Hürrem was buried in Konya. Ibrahim Pasha erected a mausoleum for him in the mausoleum complex of Rumi, known as the Mevlana Museum. The domed tomb, which has an octagonal plan in the classic Ottoman style, is on the east side of the kitchen. Inside the tomb is Hürrem's marble tombstone, alongside the marble tombstone of Haci Bey, an Ottoman statesman who served during Suleiman's reign.

Talk:Historical Introduction to Philosophy/Epistemology

im curious as to why this barely touched on a priori and posteriori?

am i missing something mrs. rogers?

Please fix this or take it out. To leave out Hume and jump to Kant is to leave the heart and soul of Epistemology out of the piece. Wikipedia does not usually waste my time like this.
