The Fortunes of Richard Mahony

The Fortunes of Richard Mahony is a three-part novel by Australian writer Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson under her pen name, Henry Handel Richardson. It consists of Australia Felix (1917), The Way Home (1925), and Ultima Thule (1929). It was collected in 1930 under the title by which it is now best known. Its publisher, William Heinemann Ltd, claimed on the jacket to the 1965 edition, "This is now recognized as one of the greatest novels in the English language." It was acclaimed for its rich characterizations and then-startling depiction of mental illness attacking an otherwise respectable person, while his much-younger wife, who does not think herself clever, must become resourceful with a high-level of uncomfortable capability. In recent years, it has been recognised as a graphic description of the onset and evolution of young onset dementia caused by neurosyphilis, the condition from which her father died.

The book is based, at least in outline, on events in the life of Richardson's parents, Walter Lindesay Richardson and Mary Bailey, though it should not be considered a biography, as many major and minor changes were made. The publisher originally balked at publishing the third volume (after the first two had modest sales) without persuasion from Richardson's husband. Only when the third volume appeared was it hailed as a great novel. Ultima Thule won the Australian Literature Society Gold Medal for 1929.

An early American edition of the book contained an introduction by Sinclair Lewis in which he erroneously claimed that Richardson's true name was Henrietta, with no mention of Ethel. A new 3-volume edition was released by Australian Scholarly Publishing in December 2007. A new one-volume edition, with a new introduction by Peter Craven, was issued in Australia by Text Publishing in its Text Classics series in 2012.

Australia Felix
Australia Felix was originally published as The Fortunes of Richard Mahony: Australia Felix, with the subtitle appearing only on the title page.

"Australia Felix" is a description used by explorer Major Thomas Mitchell in 1836 for the lush plains he discovered between the Murray River and the south coast of Victoria, including the area that later became the site of Ballarat.

Part One
Nine chapters and a prologue introducing us to Dr. Richard Townshend-Mahony, F.R.C.S., M.D., Edinburgh, for two years the proprietor of Diggers' Emporium in Ballarat township, near Melbourne, which he runs with his assistants Long Jim and Ebenezer Hempel. He came to the goldfields in 1852 based on advertising that made gold seem easy to acquire. He was accompanied by his best friend, Purdy Smith, an Englishman with whom he has little in common, but is more refined than typical diggers like old lawyer Ocock and his son, Tom, and later, his older son, Henry. The fact that Mahony refuses to partake of alcohol on even a social level often causes others to dislike him.

A large portion of the first part deals with Mahony's courtship of fifteen-year-old Polly Turnham, who works as a servant at the Beamish Hotel, and with his sleeping with the two plump Beamish sisters, Tilly and Jinny. The sisters are virtually indistinguishable save for their eye color, and they insist on mispronouncing Richard's surname "Ma-hon-y", though the accent is supposed to be on the first syllable. After working with her brother, Ned, and facing a battery of questions from her elder brother, John, Richard is able to marry Polly. John and his beautiful wife Emma are unable to attend when the latter falls ill. Also arriving for the wedding is Polly's older sister, Sarah.

Part Two
Eight chapters. The store unprofitable, Polly is displeased with the dirt floor shack Richard calls home. Richard takes up medicine at Polly's prompting and she helps Richard build a successful practice in Ballarat. John has gone temporarily mad when his wife's illness leads to her death. He was so devoted to her that he needs the children removed from his home while he recovers from his grief. Polly miscarries, and is more than happy to take in the children, Emma (Trotty, later Emmy), Johnny, and Jerry, along with Sarah. Sarah takes on a new name, Sara "(spoken Sahra)". Mahony & Polly move to a new house.

Part Three
Eleven chapters. Mahony begins a longstanding habit of shutting himself away reading religion and philosophy, starring with Lamarck and De Maillet, coming from a baseline of Irish Protestantism, and wanting to release God from the "dead-letterism from which the centuries had accumulated about Him" to reveal a God of mercy. Henry Ocock courts Agnes Glenidinning, whose father is in an asylum for trying to kill her. Sara is so sick of her name being mispronounced that she changes it to Zara for a more French feel. John recovers and takes toward politics with great success, and takes the children back in.

Part Four
Twelve chapters. Ned takes to wife another Polly, so his sister begins using her real name, Mary, feeling she has outgrown the name Polly. Mahony has become rather successful as a physician, but Henry Ocock has been even more successful, which bothers Richard, who believes his relative refinement should be reflected in his earnings. Mahony does indeed become more and more successful, and Mary becomes deeply involved in the preparations for a gala to raise money for a statue of Burke and Wills. John sends his children to boarding school. The more successful Mahony gets, the more he longs to return to England. Tempted by the gold that was falsely promised, he had been wanting to extricate himself forever from Australia's soil, and he sells the house to pay for the journey, desiring to set up a country practice in a country where the apples grow red on all sides.

Proem
Richard is more sociable than Mary has ever seen him during the sea voyage home, and he does not appear to be as aloof and arrogant as he often was, but treating his fellow passengers sociably, many whose memories of England were dim if any, much like Mary's.

Part One
Eight chapters. Richard settles on the town of Buddlecombe, near Glasgow. He selects a more pleasant house a little farther, and uphill from the main part of town. Business is slow to develop. There is only one other doctor in town, and he is a drunk. Richard begins to hold the suspicion that the fact that he has practised in Australia is being held against him. Such suspicions are confirmed, when this Doctor Robinson is forced to call upon him for aid, Robinson gets all the credit. And when Mary is mistakenly delivered an invitation to a party at "the Hall", the finest house in the town, that was intended for a woman living in a shanty down the road, he becomes convinced that he can have no success in England, and decides he must return again to Australia.

Part Two
Nine chapters. Despite being fêted on their return to Ballarat, and its rise to "second city of Victoria" status, Richard has decided that he is the sort of person that cannot remain settled in one place, and decides that he is going to establish a practice in Melbourne, which is reasonable close enough to allow frequent contact with family and friends. He becomes wealthy through shares/dividends and no longer needs to work. He calls his new home, that he believes will be his last, Ultima Thule. Zara decides to marry Ebenezer Hempel, despite his age, for the sake of being married, as her worldly ways had gotten in the way of her finding a younger husband. Emmy spends more time with the Mahonys and Richard grows close to her. Purdy has now decided to marry Tilly. Agnes Ocock falls while holding her baby and he dies. Mahony's fortunes become so great that he lives on occasional consulting to the hospital and can afford all the books he has ever desired. He cocoons himself away with books he is constantly having special ordered from London. Mary can never respect his wishes not to be disturbed, never getting past the point of view that books are to pass the time, not essential mental exercise as they are to Richard. She is displeased that he becomes unsociable, yet he does go out on occasion. At one party in particular, he meets Lizzie Timms-Kelly, a young contralto. He is so impressed, that he brings John to meet her, who becomes smitten. Much to the distress of Emmy, John and Lizzie are married. Richard becomes much distressed at his wife's seeming illness, but it turns out that, at long last, they are to have a child. Richard, though he had wanted children before, is now less than enthusiastic about the intrusion onto his reading time, but does his best to accommodate the idea, and the child is baptized Cuthbert Hamilton Townshend-Mahony.

Part Three
Ten chapters. "Cuffy"'s birth is followed by twin girls known as the Dumplings, later identified as Lallie (Alice) and Lucie. The Dumplings are an inseparable pair. Cuffy is clearly as introverted as his father, which is seen as quite bothersome. He is very modest and hates being changed in front of others. He also gets distraught when his parents leave, despite the presence of nannies and servants. John becomes ill and passes, and Lizzie has full charge of his assets so long as she lives in his home and does not remarry, which causes Emmy's animosity, coupled with Lizzie's attention to her own biological child, to grow. Richard regrets having ever introduced them. Richard considers it important for the children's development for them to see Europe, but in order to do so, he sells the house for some inexplicable reason. He can afford to live off a great investment and eventually return, having disliked England so much on his previous visit, but his new broker, Wilding, absconds with the funds, and the Mahonys must immediately make their way back to Australia.

Ultima Thule
Ultima Thule was a medieval geographic term to denote a distant place located beyond the "borders of the known world". Mahony named his house in Melbourne Ultima Thule, but the house was sold in The Way Home and was not returned to in this book, emphasizing how prematurely he had named it.

Part One
Ten chapters. Now forty-nine years old, Richard Mahony is broke and has to start his life over again. He salvages 3,000 pounds, but gets into debt unbeknownst to Mary still in Europe, by building a too large new house for the family to return to. His practice in Melbourne doesn't work out and he hears of a good practice at Barambogie. Chapter Five consists of letters to Mary by Richard, staying in Barambogie. He goes to the neighboring towns and eventually establishes that he wants to lease a house near a lagoon there. The house has a hall full of doors that Cuffy particularly likes, though it is near a mill where many foreigners work, and there are some concerns about security, plus the mill whistle screeches every morning at 6am. The town is largely made up of these foreigners, who consider Richard snooty for not socializing with them in taverns. Emmy stays with the Mahonys and Cuffy and the Dumplings insist on having her go over the story of the death of her stepbrother Jacky, who died in infancy, as Cuffy was denied much information when it occurred despite his care and concern.

Emmy becomes interested in Reverend Mr. Angus, who shows her a dead donkey in a pit near the lagoon that Cuffy can't wait to see, even though he is not allowed. In this, he loses an expensive new hat, so Mary sends Emmy back to Lizzie, and a governess must be hired. A Baron visits, playing works by Schumann, and offers to be Cuffy's mentor and music teacher, but Mary refuses, despite Richard's insistence that Cuffy has a great ear that she cannot help any longer. Cuffy's memory fades, leaving only his play cry "Shooh, woman!" developed with the Dumplings. He discovers that eating the kernels of green almonds are a tasty treat, and invites the Dumplings to do so. All of them get very sick, but Cuffy quickly recovers, and Lallie does not come out of it. Even bringing in another doctor fails to help her. The funeral for Alice Mary Townshend-Mahony makes Christmas for the other children a financial hardship.

Part Two
Ten chapters. Mary in deep grief takes the children on a seaside holiday at Tilly's invitation. Richard is left at home alone. Richard becomes obsessed with the idea that he has seen Lallie's spirit visit him, and that she informed him about her expensive wax doll with a nose melted in a fire. This information is true, but Mary insists that Richard already knew about it and had forgotten. He continues to become more and more interested in spiritualism. His practice virtually ends and he wonders why he had ever left Melbourne. His dislike of black armbands, an apparent obsession of the locals for funerary customs, and his dislike of prayers for the children invoking "Gentle Jesus" in favor of prayers to a universal God blessing all are seen as rather heathenistic. Mary returns after some concerning letters from Richard who is not coping in her absence. She learns of their debt and sets to work to revive Richard's ailing practice. A visit from the local bishop, even though it doesn't go well creates a boost for business. Hempel having died, Zara is installed as new governess. Richard believes his end is near and advises Cuffy to look after Mary and Lucie after he is gone, but Cuffy seems too young to understand. He is called to help a boy without being told that they suspect a broken leg, and he makes do with the equipment he has brought. At a public gathering, he is asked to speak before the Bishop, who is planning to speak on "Our glorious country: Australia". This peeves Richard so much that he goes into a diatribe that ultimately ends with reiterating the story about Lallie's doll, and gets himself ridiculed as a drunk. Mary considers blasphemous his claim that his ideas are facing the persecutions of the early Christians.

Mr. Nankivell, father of the boy he put in splints, claims that his leg is significantly shorter because he fixed it wrong, and is suing him for malpractice, claiming that he operated while drunk. All Mahony can argue is that he should go to another doctor to have it corrected, as it's not an exact science, he was working under less than optimal conditions, and surgery was never his greatest strength as a physician. Richard experiences surrealistic nightmares in which he watches himself prattle on in court like a drunken fool. He has an odd spell, ranting about things like "the Ultimate Plan" He attempts to take his own life and Mary takes matters in hand, including their finances and they leave Barambogie "like a hunted man". Mary wants him to go to Narrong, but Dr. Bowes-Smith advises that he go to Shortlands, which he believes will be better suited for the benefit of his mental health. The entire estate is sold while Richard is away making the arrangements.

Part Three
Ten chapters. The job at Shortlands requires him to board a ship in the harbor whenever a flag is raised. This involves being rowed out to the ship and climbing a rope ladder to get aboard. On his first venture, he needs to remain and spend several minutes simply resting before he makes the descent. He thinks he is too old to be able to do the job, or soon would be. Richard had previously said that he would not allow Mary to take in boarders as long as he lived, but says that because this is a resort town, it's the normal thing to do, which gives Mary the idea that he is now proclaiming that it was his idea. The town proves to be his idea, and the claim that it is respectable to take in boarders proves false. Dr. Barker, the only doctor in town, despite being semi-retired and not working nights, still gets all the business. Once summer hits in December, they are led to believe that it will grow. Cuffy deals with papa being called "cranky". Cranky in these times is being crazy. Knowing her husband's eccentricities, she thinks this is a natural product of him getting older. Even Mary has to resort to Dr. Barker when Richard gets into unexplainable fits. Tilly had stowed away 8,000 pounds in secret from her husband, and gave Mary 150 pounds at her request in her time of need. Richard has to be institutionalized—his status as a doctor getting a fifty percent discount—and Mary is advised to go to work as a postmistress, though it involves mingling with a lower class of people. She contacts Henry Ocock, Agnes's husband for advice and he arranges a postmistress job for her. For this she has to move to Gymgurra "in the Western District, some two hundred miles from Melbourne; to be reached either by night's sea voyage--round Cape Otway and along the wild coast--or by a combined train and coach journey". Mary can no longer afford Richard's accommodation at the private hospital and is persuaded to send Richard to the state mental institution. After settling in her postmistress job, Mary saves up for a trip to Melbourne to pay a surprise visit to the hospital to determine the sort of care Richard is receiving. Along the way, she meets Mrs. Bowman, whose son has been injured in tree-felling and is likely to die.

Upon reaching the hospital, she is told that "Patient 97 B" is kept in solitary confinement on the grounds that he may "corrupt" the other prisoners. She learns that his personal foibles have not been attended to: he has been throwing his meals back at his keeper because they are served to him on tin plates rather than china. Feeling he can never get well in such conditions, she asks Henry Ocock to arrange for her to remove him from the hospital and takes him to their new home at the post office, hiring Mrs. Bowman as a caregiver. He recognises Mary but does not recognize his children at their age, and wonders where his twin babies are. Cuffy begins to resent having to take him out for walks each night. Finally, he is confronted with the murderous nightmare, an image to long haunting his dreams and memories, such that seeing any body stretched out face down in the road could send him into fits, when he and Lucie are unable to stop a fall from which Richard cannot get up, and gets him laughed at for drunkenness by a passerby. Home in bed, gangrene sets in, and quickly renders the lower half of his body completely useless. Mary sits by the bedside as "Bowey" takes over the kitchen chores. Richard, finally tells Mary "not grieve...for me. I'm going...into Eternity...Dear wife". "He died at dawn, his faint breaths fluttering to rest.". Cuffy feels a mixture of relief, albeit guilty, and upset, then begging for his return, even though his experience with Lallie made clear to him that he wasn't. Richard's small funeral includes Tilly, Jerry, the parson, and the Bank manager. A small cross rose is placed on his grave, but is eventually neglected, toppled by weeds, and removed. "And thereafter, his resting-place was indistinguishable from the common ground. The rich and kindly earth of his adopted country absorbed his perishable body, as the country itself had never contrived to make its own his wayward, vagrant spirit."

Adaptations
MGM announced plans to film the novel in 1946 with Greer Garson and Gregory Peck pencilled in as stars to be produced by Pandro S. Berman, but no movie resulted.

The book was adapted for radio on the ABC in 1949 by Edmund Piers Barclay.

For decades, Phillip Adams has wanted to bring Richard Mahony to the screen, and has often spoken about it with director Bruce Beresford. A television miniseries was announced around 1985 and is mentioned on the jacket of Karen MacLeod's Henry Handel Richardson: A Critical Study.

One of the characters in David Williamson's play, Emerald City (1987), mocks the production's failure to find funding. The same character's summary of the screenplay is "Doctor's marriage goes bad, he goes to the goldfields, gets gangrene and dies", "a real downer".

in 2002 Currency Press published a theatrical adaptation of the novel, written by Australian playwright Michael Gow.

Category talk:American non-fiction crime writers

Untitled
it seems this should be merged with true crime writers. looking at the true crime page, the definition seems to be non-fiction crime writing. For example, in the main article on the "true crime" page", Truman Capote is listed specifically as a true crime writer, yet he is listed on this list as a non-fiction crime writer. I think true crime should remain since it is a more commonly used term, and will be more "findable" that way.  Scarykitty 04:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC) "True crime" is tabloidese.

Talk:US Festival

Pronunciation
Is it pronounced Us, as in "it belongs to us", or U.S. as in USA?--Richy 12:26, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I believe they called it the US festival because they successfully blended Rock and Roll, which was on it's way down, with Heavy Metal, which was hot, with New Wave which was about to take over the music industry. The music was for all of us, not just one genre, in fact they had country music the following weekend. I went there a rocker and three days later went home a fan of the New Wave. Some of those New Wave bands were really unique and very good, especially Flock of Seagulls. They looked pretty weird but the sound was unique and cutting edge. At the time few of us ever heard of those New Wave bands, but now, they are considered pioneers of that sound. William Babishoff (talk) 20:33, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Its pronounced like the pronoun "us". (I was there!)

I was at the first one. There should be some mention of the spore that was kicked up in the clay dust of the site, causing many cases of "valley fever." —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:53, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

If memory serves correct, they moved the `83 festival to earlier in the year to minimize Valley Fever and avoid the big heat. But it was actually hotter at US`83! I don't know how many people got sick but I know my hangover wasn't from any spores! William Babishoff (talk) 20:40, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

If it was pronounced "U.S." there would be the period before and after the S, genius!

I was stoned at the time of the spore. But I remember coughing half to death, and I thought it was from the weed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:20, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

It may have been from the weed, that was just before Sunk Buds from Mendocino county first appeared in SoCal and most everyone was still smoking that nasty Mexican brick weed sprayed with paraquat! — Preceding unsigned comment added by William Babishoff (talk • contribs) 20:43, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

First large concert to use video screens?
I know for a fact, that Led Zeppelin used them during the 70's. Would that have been considered a large concert? --Richy 20:47, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

van halen
I had heard van halen parachuted on to the stage. is this an urban legend? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 07:19, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Forget parachuting onto the stage; I was there, and David Lee Roth absolutely sucked. I waited all day in the blistering heat to see Van Halen, and could not have been more disappointed. Roth ran around the stage like a drunken madman, singing like shit, leaving out lines of lyrics, and coming back in every now and then when he remembered what he was supposed to be singing. It was one of the worst performances I've ever seen, and the most forgettable. Roth totally ruined Van Halen's set that day. He stole 1.5 million, that's for sure.

While it's true David Lee Roth ruined Van Halen's performance with his overt drunkenness, he did get the biggest applause of the night when he insulted the Clash and took about half that whiskey bottle down in one gulp! William Babishoff (talk) 20:00, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

 * This is surely an urban legend because they would not have been given permission to skydive onto the stage surrounded by a thick crowd. The configuration did not allow scope for error: if the skydiver missed his target by a small and unforgiving margin, he would have crashed into the crowd risking injury to himself and anyone underneath him. The small area of the stage would have been cluttered with instruments and equipment and extremely dangerous to land on. The skydiver would certainly have been injured, and possibly killed in the attempt. No responsible skydiving club would have supported such a lunatic and illegal stunt. I know something about this because I have a personal skydiving history. — O'Dea  (talk) 08:20, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Van Halen ostensibly skydived into Anaheim Stadium in 1978 for Summerfest. It wasn't the band, but a group of lookalikes who landed just outside the gate while the band came running on stage wearing parachute gear. Hoof Hearted (talk) 15:03, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Losing money
I heard at the time Steve Wozniak lost a ton of money but I had no idea how much. There were some people making huge amounts of cash, profiting on the 115 degree heat. The guys selling water atomizers at $5 a piece, quite a high price in 1983 for an empty Windex bottle! William Babishoff (talk) 19:53, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

The Clash blew it
I remember The Clash making their political extortion attempt on the promoters. It was a self fulfilling moment that backfired. The Clash lost many fans that night. I happily sold my ticket for $10 and boycotted their show. I could hear the boo's from 1/2 mile away. I've never listened to their albums since. William Babishoff (talk) 20:19, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Reader comment entered in section: Home video releases
I am moving the following comment by User:2601:200:4204:C8E0:ED62:34FA:627D:97F0 from within the Home video releases section of the article to this talk page. It is not proper article text, but a comment. Perhaps the information in it is useful.

 * The above is not correct: the exact same footage aired on Showtime back when it was a recent event, with MORE footage (If memory serves: they included a tune or two from Quiet Riot and FOR SURE a few from Van Halen's headlining set (Dave was obviously intoxicated, which might be why it was left off this edition). Motley Crue was missing from the original program as well (a licensing issue I assume). Not sure about the other days, but I do recall watching INXS and others from the first day as well, and pretty sure Showtime aired all 4 days in different segments.

Talk:Obsolete Serbian units of measurement

The units in this article look dubious
The units presented in this article look dubious. "Archine" is probably meant to be aršin. "Drachm" is who knows what. "Oka" was definitely used in Serbia, but this was a legacy of the Ottoman Empire. That is, Serbia used the Turkish oka. There was no such thing as a Serbian oka. Who knows what a "litra" is? I've looked at the reference: Clarke, F.W. (1891). Weights Measures and Money of All Nations. New York: D. Appleton & Company, and this article seems to faithfully copy that reference book. But I question the usefulness and truthfulness of the reference source itself. This article needs a lot of rework by someone who speaks Serbian and who has access to Serbian sources.

Emergency medical responder (EMR)/Primary survey

C-spine control
In the event of an alleged fall / trauma an EMR should always treat for the worst and hope for the best and deligate C Spine control to your partner or someone of equal or higher training, by placing both hands on either side of Pt.head and esuring that there is no movement during the primary assessment. Later when the neck is being examined a Cervical collar must be applied. Remember to size correctly. Treat for the worst and hope for the best.

Level of consciousness
Level of Consciousness is important because it can help eliminate other medical conditions. If a patient is conscious and talking to you, than they have a patent airway and are breathing. It is also safe to say that they have a pulse and know about their injuries. This doesn't mean you don't do a patient assessment. However, your Airway, Breathing, Circulation, mechanism of injury portions of the exam are progressed. On the other hand, if a patient is completely unresponsive the medic knows that the patient could be in severe trouble.

The patient's level of consciousness must be analysed using the Glasgow coma scale. To asses the patient using the Glasgow coma scale, the EMR must assess three elements of the patients response to stimuli (how the patient responds with his/her eyes, how the patient responds verbally, and how the patient responds physically with his/her motor functions). The total of the points scored on each will give the patients score. A score of 15 is the highest possible score, while a 3 is the lowest possible score.

Eye response

 * 4 points: Eyes open spontaneously.
 * 3 points: Eyes open to the sound of speech.
 * 2 points: Eyes only open as a response to pain.
 * 1 point: Patient does not open eyes at all.

Verbal response

 * 5 points: Alert and oriented.  The patient is aware of Person (who he/she is, name, age), Place (where he/she is and why), Time (what day or month it is), and Event (what happened which required the EMR to attend).
 * 4 points: Confused.  The patient is coherent but not entirely aware of person, place, time, and event.
 * 3 points: Inappropriate speech.  The patient uses random or exclamatory articulated speech, but no conversational exchange.
 * 2 points: Inappropriate sounds.  The patient grunts, groans, moans, or makes other sounds without using any actual words.
 * 1 point: None.  The patient does not make any noises with the exception of noises made by a partial airway obstruction (i.e. snoring, wheezing, and gurgling).

Motor response

 * 6 points: Obeys commands.  The patient obeys commands for movement (i.e. squeezes fingers on command, moves feet on command).
 * 5 points: Localizes to pain.  The patient makes purposeful movement to reduce pain.
 * 4 points: Withdrawal from pain.  Patient pulls away from painful stimuli.
 * 3 points: Abnormal flexing.  Decorticate response
 * 2 points: Abnormal extension.  Decerebrate response
 * 1 point: No motor response.

Airway
Check to make sure the airway is clear. If the casualty is conscious, you can see if their airway is clear simply by asking them a question and see if they're able to speak.

If the casualty is unconscious, attempt to give a rescue breath.
 * If the breath goes in (the chest rises with the breath), then the airway is cleared. Check for a gag reflex by rubbing the tip of the patient’s eye lashes, if the patient’s eyelid does not twitch than no gag reflex should present. Insert an oropharyngeal airway to ensure the tongue does no slide back, blocking off the airway.
 * If the breath does not go in, there is an obstruction. First try to clear the airway by using the jaw thrust maneuver if C-spine control has been taken or by the head tilt chin lift maneuver if C-spine control was not required.  Try to give ventilation again.
 * If a second attempt at ventilation is unsuccessful, begin chest compressions to attempt to dislodge the obstruction. Give thirty chest compressions and then try again to give a breath. Repeat until you are able to get the chest to rise.

Breathing
Check to make sure the casualty is breathing. If the casualty is conscious, you can check their breathing simply by asking them a question and see if they're able to speak and asking if they're having difficulty breathing.

If the casualty is unconscious, hover your ear a few inches above the casualty's mouth and feel/listen for air. At the same time, watch their chest to see if it rises. If the casualty is not breathing, use a pocket mask or bag-valve mask to breath for them.

A normal rate of breathing should be as follows:
 * Adult – 12-20 Breaths per minute
 * Child – 15-30 Breaths per minute
 * Infant – 25-50 Breaths per minute

Circulation
Check the patients rate, rhythm and quality of circulation by palpating both the distal and carotidian pulse at the same time. Palpate for fifteen seconds and then multiply the number of beats by four to determine rate (beats per minute).

Note the rhythm of the pulse, is it normal or "offbeat"?

Note the quality of the pulse, is it strong and bounding, is it weak and thready, or is it some other variation?

XML - Managing Data Exchange/Recursive relationships

Introduction
Recursive relationships are an interesting and more complex concept than the relationships you have seen in the previous chapters. A recursive relationship occurs when there is a relationship between an entity and itself. For example, a one-to-many recursive relationship occurs when an employee is the manager of other employees. The employee entity is related to itself, and there is a one-to-many relationship between one employee (the manager) and many other employees (the people who report to the manager). Because of the more complex nature of these relationships, we will need slightly more complex methods of mapping them to a schema and displaying them in a style sheet.

The one-to-one recursive relationship
Continuing with the tour guide model, we will develop a schema that shows cities that have hosted the Olympics and the previous host city. Since the previous host is another city and only one city can be the previous host this is a one to one recursive relationship.
 * [[Image:xml_host.png|Recursive ]]

host.xsd (XML schema for a one-to-one recursive model)
Exhibit 1: XML schema for Host City Entity

host.xml (XML document for a one-to-one recursive model)
Exhibit 2: XML Document for Olympic Host City

The one-to-many recursive relationship
A hypothetical sports team is divided into squads with each squad having a captain. Every person on the team is a player, regardless of whether they are a squad captain. Since a squad captain is a player, this situation meets the definition of a recursive relationship—a squad captain is also a player and has a one-to-many relationship with the other players. This is a one-to-many recursive relationship because one captain has many players under him/her. See the example below for how to model the relationship.

team.xsd (XML schema for a one-to-many recursive model)
Exhibit 3: XML schema for Team Entity

team.xml (XML document for a one-to-many recursive model)
Exhibit 4: XML Document for Team Entity

Natural one-to-many recursive structure
A more natural approach for most one-to-many recursive relationships is to use XML's hierarchical nature to directly represent the heirarchy. Consider Locations:

The many-to-many recursive relationship
Think you're getting a feel for recursive relationships yet? Well, there is still the third and final relationship to add to your repertoire — the many-to-many recursive. A common example of a many-to-many recursive relationship is when one item can be comprised of many items of the same data type as itself, and each of those sub-items may belong to another parent item of the same data type. Sound confusing? Let's look at the example of a product that can consist of a single item or multiple items (i.e., a packaged product). The example below describes tourist products that can be packaged together to create a new product.

product.xsd (XML schema for a many-to-many recursive model)
Exhibit 5: XML schema for Product Entity

product.xml (XML document for a many-to-many recursive model)
Exhibit 6: XML Document for Product Entity

Summary
When the child has the same type of data as its parent in a parent-child type data relationship, this is a sign of the existence of a recursive relationship. The xsd:ID and xsd:IDREF elements can be used in a schema to create primary key-foreign key values in an XML document.

Electronics/RC

Introduction
An RC circuit is short for 'Resistor-Capacitor' circuit. A capacitor takes an infinite amount of time to discharge through a resistor, which varies with the values of the resistor and capacitor. A capacitor acts interestingly in an electronic circuit, practically speaking as a combination of a voltage source and a variable resistor.

Basics
Below is a simple RC circuit: There is a capacitor in parallel with the resistor and current probe. The way the capacitor functions is by acting as a very low resistance load when the circuit is initially turned on. This is illustrated below: Initially, the capacitor has a very low resistance, almost 0. Since electricity takes the path of least resistance, almost all the electricity flows through the capacitor, not the resistor, as it has considerably higher resistance. As a capacitor charges, its resistance increases as it gains more and more charge. As the resistance of the capacitor climbs, electricity begins to flow not only to the capacitor, but through the resistor as well: Once the capacitor's voltage equals that of the battery, meaning it is fully charged, it will not allow any current to pass through it. All the electricity eventually flows through the resistor. A capacitor's resistance becomes higher and higher as it becomes more charged. Once it is fully charged, for all practical reasons, it has infinite resistance (an open connection). Once the voltage source is disconnected, however, the capacitor acts as a voltage source itself: As time goes on, the capacitor's charge begins to drop, and so does its voltage. This means less current through the resistor: Once the capacitor is fully discharged, you are back to square one:

If one were to do this with a light and a capacitor connected to a battery, what you would see is the following:

 * 1) Switch is hit. Light does not light up.
 * 2) Light gradually becomes brighter and brighter...
 * 3) Light is at full luminosity.
 * 4) Switch is released. Light continues to shine.
 * 5) Light begins to fade...
 * 6) Light is off.

This is how a capacitor acts. However, what if you changed the values of R1? C1? The voltage of the battery? We will examine the mathematical relationship between the resistor, capacitor, and charging rate below.

The Time Constant
In order to find out how long it takes for a capacitor to fully charge or discharge, or how long it takes for the capacitor to reach a certain voltage, you must know a few things. First, you must know the starting and finishing voltages. Secondly, you must know the time constant of the circuit you have. Time constant is denoted by the Greek letter 'tau' or τ. The general formula for percentage change is:

Bourne Shell Scripting

Hi there! Welcome to this Wikibook on the wonderful world of Bourne Shell Scripting!

This book will cover the practical aspects of using and interacting with the Bourne Shell, the root of all shells in use in the Unix world. That includes interacting with the shell on a day-to-day basis for the purposes of operating the computer in normal tasks, as well as grouping together commands in files (scripts) which can be run over and over again. Since it's not practical to talk about the Bourne Shell in complete isolation, this will also mean some short jaunts into the wondrous world of Unix; not far, just enough to understand what is going on and be able to make full use of the shell's very wide capabilities.

There are also some things this book won't do for you. This book is not an in-depth tutorial on any kind of programming theory -- you won't learn the finer points of program construction and derivation or the mathematical backings of program development here. This book also won't teach you about Linux or any other type of Unix or Unix itself or any other operating system any more than is necessary to teach you how to use the shell. Nothing to be found here about Apache, joe, vi, or any other specific program. Nor will we cover firewalls and networking.

We will cover the Bourne Shell, beginning with the basic functionality and capabilities as they existed in the initial release, through to the added functionality specified by the international POSIX standard POSIX 1003.1 for this shell. We will have to give you some programming knowledge, but we hope that everyone will readily understand the few simple concepts we explain.

Having said that, the authors hope you will find this book a valuable resource for learning to use the shell and for using the shell on a regular basis. And that you might even have some fun along the way.

Terror (emotion)

 * The result of the discussion was keep. --BDD (talk) 19:17, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Terror (emotion) → Fear (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Terror_(emotion)&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

I think it might be better at Horror and terror but I am uncertain about this. Mr. Guye (talk) 23:44, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per the lead sentence of primary topic Terror, which makes sense to me. Steel1943  (talk) 23:55, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Terror (disambiguation) lists Fear as "an emotional response..." while Horror and terror is just called (literary and psychological) "concept" (in Terror (disambiguation)) or "techniques" (in Horror).  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 07:50, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 00:46, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

🕷

 * The result of the discussion was keep. This seems to be the emerging consensus for such Unicode symbols. Besides the discussion Gorobay linked to, there was also that for the snowman symbol even more recently. --BDD (talk) 19:45, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * 🕷 → Spider (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%F0%9F%95%B7&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Implausible. Mr. Guye (talk) 23:42, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * In what operating system does this character appear as a spider? Steel1943  (talk) 23:58, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * This character is . It should appear as a spider in every operating system. It was added to Unicode less than a year ago so few fonts include it. Cf. a similar discussion at Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 June 11. Gorobay (talk) 00:34, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * ...that is to say, in every operating system that supports the Unicode Supplementary Multilingual Plane and has fonts including this Emoji/Pictograph. Si Trew (talk) 03:54, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak keep per Gorobay. On the other hand, it could also be used to redirect to a unicode page that describes the characters, if such a page exists (if not, then the redirect to spider is the best choice if the redirect is to exist). -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:42, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. The relevant unicode block is Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs, and almost all the characters in that table go to the depicted subject, e.g. 👩 → Woman, 🐪 → Dromedary, 🔧 → Wrench, 💤 → Sleep. If we want to change that, we should do so as part of a general discussion about rather than picking them off individually. I do note though that the U+1F57x block is not linked in that table (none of the characters in that row are in my font set so I can't easily tell where they should go). Thryduulf (talk) 22:05, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Jusik hoesa

 * The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 19:16, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Jusik hoesa → Corporation (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jusik_hoesa&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Vague. Seems to have something to do with Korea. Mr. Guye (talk) 23:04, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOTDICT, Wikipedia is not a translation dictionary. further the topic has no particular affinity for Korean. If we have a corporation article for Korea specifically, maybe retarget to it. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:43, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete, per 70.50. Si Trew (talk) 18:54, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * delete per above. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 01:34, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Chusik hoesa

 * The result of the discussion was delete. Indeed, this might be worth its own article at some point; compare to Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung. --BDD (talk) 19:16, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Chusik hoesa → Corporation (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chusik_hoesa&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Vague. Seems to have something to do with Korea. Mr. Guye (talk) 23:04, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete to encourage article creation. It seems to be the Korean counterpart to the American corporation. However, there might be some notable differences between the two. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 00:09, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOTDICT, Wikipedia is not a translation dictionary. further the topic has no particular affinity for Korean. If we have a corporation article for Korea specifically, maybe retarget to it. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:45, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Publicly quoted companies

 * The result of the discussion was retarget to Public company. --BDD (talk) 19:14, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Publicly quoted companies → Corporation (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Publicly_quoted_companies&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

A company being publicly quoted does not make it a corporation. Also just implausible. Mr. Guye (talk) 23:01, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to public company. Si Trew (talk) 04:33, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Public company which is essentially synonymous. ~ Ningauble (talk) 19:54, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Munificence

 * The result of the discussion was retarget to Generosity. No prejudice against a new discussion for Liberality. While it does mean generosity, there's definitely some potential for confusion, and its redirect was added after most editors had already put their say in. --BDD (talk) 19:35, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Munificence → Liberalism (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Munificence&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

 * Liberality → Liberalism (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Liberality&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]  added Si Trew (talk) 06:52, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Possible WP:SURPRISE. Though merriam-web does say: " characterized by great liberality or generosity" as a definition of "munificent". Mr. Guye (talk) 22:54, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Generosity. Its only use in an article, at Mehmed I, has that as the intended meaning (a king can hardly endow liberalism in its political sense).
 * Liberality also redirects to Liberalism, and perhaps should be taken together with this nom. Its only use in an article is at Tomás mac Muircheartaigh Ó Ceallaigh, in a quote, where generosity (or altruism) would seem to be the intended meaning. Si Trew (talk) 04:53, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Retarget to generosity per WP:ASTONISH -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:46, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Generosity. This is a misleading redirect because "liberal" has distinct meanings, and "Munificence" corresponds to the one but not the other. ~ Ningauble (talk) 20:01, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Added Liberality to nom. Si Trew (talk) 06:52, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think that should have been added. It would have a different target discussion, thus should be a separate RfD -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:26, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Criticism of conservatism

 * The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 19:12, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Criticism of conservatism → Conservatism (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Criticism_of_conservatism&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Not particularly helpful because there is no specific section in the article to redirect to that discusses specifically about criticism of conservatism. Mr. Guye (talk) 22:50, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:RFD, "confusion". Searching for "Conservative critics" gives good results, and I imagine this would if allowed to. A special:search for "Criticism of conservatism" reveals administration discussions at Administrators'_noticeboard/3RRArchive19 (section 37) and Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-06-13 Conservatism (section 1), of 12 and 13 June 2006, centring on repeated deletions/reverts of the section to which Mr. Guye would have it go, were it to exist. Si Trew (talk) 05:05, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete perhaps it's better off red until a proper section or article is drafted. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 00:47, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Secular politics

 * The result of the discussion was retarget to Secularism. --BDD (talk) 19:32, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Secular politics → Politics (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Secular_politics&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Possibly POV. Mr. Guye (talk) 22:31, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Retarget to Secularism. Not currently used anywhere. Si Trew (talk) 17:48, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Democratic movements

 * The result of the discussion was retarget to History of democracy. --BDD (talk) 19:30, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Democratic movements → Politics (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Democratic_movements&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Just does not seem to be accurate. Mr. Guye (talk) 22:31, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * When I created it it was pointing to Political movement. I suggest restoring my original redirect. I agree that the current redirect just to politicss is too broad. Another alternative would be history of democracy. Or just democracy. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 23:05, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget this and singular Democratic movement to History of democracy, which mentions "social movements" and "democracy movements".
 * Social movement is possible, social movements is to there. But perhaps that's over-specific.
 * Democratic movement, singular, is an R to the general topic Democracy.
 * Democracy movement, singular, is an R to the general topic Democracy. Democracy movements is red.
 * Whatever the decision, I think this, Democratic movement and Democracy movement should redirect to the same target. Si Trew (talk) 04:37, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment I note the only use of Democratic movements in an article is the hatnote in Democracy: ""Democratic movement" redirects here. For politics in general, see Democratic movements. (So it would become circular if thence retargeted, the solution of course being to remove the hatnote.) It's a bit odd, though, to hatnote through a redirect: why not just say "For politics in general, see Politics (duh!)".
 * It's also used at Talk:Constitution of May 3, 1791/Archive 1, where social movements would probably have been better anyway, but there's not much we can do about that (otherwise we could never change any thing referred to by an archive without its version). Si Trew (talk) 06:58, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Mosaic faith

 * The result of the discussion was Keep. (non-admin closure) Natg 19 (talk) 18:16, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Mosaic faith → Judaism (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mosaic_faith&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

POV or possibly non-unique redirect. Mr. Guye (talk) 22:14, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Mosaic, as in "of Moses". Ivanvector (talk) 00:36, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep since a simple search on the scholarly Google books proves from multiple WP:RS & WP:V & WP:N works and authors beyond a shadow of a doubt that the term "Mosaic faith" has always predominantly and exclusively referred to Judaism and as the faith of the Jews, thus the redirect is more than valid. The nominator has not specified any real reason or policy beyond a vague sense of WP:IDONTLIKEIT & WP:IJUSTDONTLIKEIT and one gets a feeling that the real intention may perhaps be to set the stage for some historical revisionism because there are some pseudo-scholars who think that the term can be used in any number of very bizarre and whacky contexts none of which is in keeping with the accepted classical usage of this term. Thank you. IZAK (talk) 06:20, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Judaism-related deletion discussions. 06:20, 12 February 2015 (UTC)  IZAK (talk) 06:20, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment add a hatnote for syncretism if this is kept as is, or retarget to that. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:48, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't think so. Why would anyone use the word "mosaic" (as in the artistic sense) for a belief system? Please provide evidence that anyone uses the adjective "mosaic" in this context. JFW | T@lk  13:48, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I can't provide evidence, only my personal anecdote: I had no idea that Mosaic was an adjectival form of Moses. Before reading far enough into this discussion, something akin to syncretism was what I was imagining the term meant. I'm happy to have learned something today, but as I consider myself a fairly literate person, I think I'm not the only one who would make the same mistake when seeing the term for the first time. Lady  of  Shalott  17:28, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Nor I; I had to google it. Syncretism defines a belief system formed from a patchwork of other religions, which brings to mind an artistic mosaic. However this usage isn't apparent in sources; in fact the reverse is true: "mosaic syncretism" appears commonly in scholarly sources referring specifically to a belief system with Jewish and Christian components. Ivanvector (talk) 05:36, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a poetic name for Judaism and has no alternative meanings. Currently no arguments provided as to what alternative meanings would need to be addressed. JFW | T@lk  13:46, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep An archaic term that doesn't stand on its own but is an appropriate redirect. Looking through the sources in Google books, as has done, I'm not seeing any meaningful uses of the term to mean anything other than Judaism, nor does this mainspace search for uses of the term "mosaic faith" turn up anything meaningful other than references to Judaism as the predominant use of the term. Alansohn (talk) 15:41, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is a new term for me, but I have been convinced by the information given by Ivanvector and IZAK. Lady  of  Shalott  17:28, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 01:35, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. I kinda knew that "Mosaic" was an adjective, but it was refreshing to be reminded, and I agree that not knowing that is not a surefire indicator of stupidity. Si Trew (talk) 04:41, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per IZAK's search demonstrating that the term is used to refer to Judaism, and the absence of a comparable demonstration that the term is used to mean syncretism (as opposed to people thinking it could mean syncretism if you interpreted "mosaic" like the tile thing instead of Moses). –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 00:51, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Amon Twyman

 * The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 19:01, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Amon Twyman → Transhumanist politics (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Amon_Twyman&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

The subject as mentioned in the redirect's target is not mention in the target's article. Thus, The connection is not clear and possibly misleading since it does not identify the subject of the redirect in the target article. Steel1943 (talk) 18:38, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I improved the redirect. Deku-shrub (talk) 20:24, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I see that the target has been changed to Transhumanist politics, where the subject is mentioned and there is a link to this redirect, but the subject is not really mentioned in detail there to identify the person. However, it does seem that he is somewhat notable. So, I now think that this redirect should be deleted per WP:REDLINK. Steel1943  (talk) 22:55, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - I tend to disagree that the person is notable, having not been able to find anything written about him, only by him. However, that might indicate that he's notable within the field of transhumanism, or whatever field that is. Deleting the redirect encourages creation of an article. Ivanvector (talk) 00:38, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete If the person is notable, which I doubt, there should be an article--making a redirect or everyone quoted as speaking for an organization is absurd, as absurd as redlining their name. WP remains searchable by google etc.    DGG ( talk ) 16:59, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

The Dude with the Tude who can ruin your weekend

 * The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 18:57, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * The Dude with the Tude who can ruin your weekend → Death (personification) (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Dude_with_the_Tude_who_can_ruin_your_weekend&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

While technically correct (although I don't know what a tude is) this seems like an unlikely search term. kelapstick(bainuu) 13:32, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - I believe that "tude" is short for "attitude", actually meaning "bad attitude". Nevertheless, I don't really expect anyone to search for this term. Lady  of  Shalott  18:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment'. dictionary.com has it as "'tude", with the leading apostrophe. As you see, WP doesn't, nor tude (WP:NOTDIC, of course). Si Trew (talk) 07:13, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - as far as I understand scripture, Death is not gendered, has no personality, and has no regard for human time constructions. Ivanvector (talk) 20:56, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as nonsense. Besides, Death is a totally swell guy. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 00:12, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per search engines, this phrase is used to refer to a character by the name of "Mr. Grimm" in the Twisted Metal video game series, but that character is not mentioned there. If mention of that character was added to Twisted Metal, then this could be redirected to the section representing that character, but my guess is that the character is not notable enough to be able to overcome being called a WP:NOTWIKIA violation if added to the article. Steel1943  (talk) 00:54, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Reading rainbow dude

 * The result of the discussion was keep. --BDD (talk) 18:55, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Reading rainbow dude → LeVar Burton (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Reading_rainbow_dude&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Implausible typo. Very funny, but... Can't speedy as it wasn't recently created. Dweller (talk) 13:11, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete was going to nominate for very much the same reason. --kelapstick(bainuu) 13:33, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. LeVar Burton was the host of Reading Rainbow for 23 years (1983 - 2006). That could make him the "Reading rainbow dude" for many people who grew up during that time period. Not sure if that warrants a redirect or not. Natg 19 (talk) 18:10, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, however I can't see someone searching Wikipedia for the host of the show by searching for Reading Rainbow dude rather than simply Reading Rainbow, and what LadyofShalott said as well.--kelapstick(bainuu) 18:19, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - while Burton undoubtedly is the "Reading Rainbow dude", to type that phrase, you must spell out reading rainbow, which gives you an article containing that information and pointing to LeVar Burton. So, while amusing, this redirect is not necessary. Lady  of  Shalott  18:17, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - longstanding redirect that gets readers where they want to go and is doing no harm. A user typing "reading rainbow" would get to a different article. Ivanvector (talk) 20:47, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Question How many people (are there any at all?) type that phrase? We do have that data, don't we? Lady  of  Shalott  21:30, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, that info is always linked in the header of an Rfd nomination (see "stats" above) as long as the tool is working, which it often isn't. The answer in this case is zero. However we typically don't delete redirects unless there's some good reason to, because redirects are cheap. Ivanvector (talk) 00:40, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Looking back as far as May of 2014, which is as far as the tool would let me go, the highest number of hits for this redirect was 158 in one month (and as low as 11). The 158 was in May of 2014, highest day was on 29 May with 69. That is not surprising as Burton launched the Kickstarter campaign on 28 May.--kelapstick(bainuu) 14:27, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep per the closing statement at Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 May 28, this redirect's previous RfD nomination. Basically, it's old and harmless. Steel1943  (talk) 23:53, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep' per Steel1943, plausible search term -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:52, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, correct, old, harmless and most importantly used. Thryduulf (talk) 22:19, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Plausible search term, redirects are cheap. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 00:55, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

King of Antarctica

 * The result of the discussion was retarget to Antarctica. --BDD (talk) 18:52, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * King of Antarctica → Harald V of Norway (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=King_of_Antarctica&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

He's not the King of Antarctica. DrKiernan (talk) 08:32, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - misleading redirect and BLP violation. Ivanvector (talk) 20:48, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * A major Norwegian newspaper, Verdens Gang, has explicitly nicknamed him King of Antarctica. As a result, millions are now permanently introduced to this nickname and relate it to him. The visit was also a significant political and historical event, and this nickname has to be seen and understood in the said context, which gives it a special importance. This is the new folkekongen in spe! All this justifies a redirect from King of Antarctica (nickname) to Harald V of Norway (name). If a knowledge-seeking Wikipedia reader is looking for 'King of Antarctica', he/she will be guided to His Majesty's biography and learn that Harald was the first monarch being present there, that he has this nickname etc. No More 18 (talk) 21:12, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * No, this redirect specifically implies that he is the King of Antarctica; he is not, and there is no such ruler. If this incident was notable enough to be included either in King Harald's article or in the article on the Norwegian tabloid, then we could retarget there, but it is not. Wikipedia is not a tabloid. Ivanvector (talk) 21:35, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete patently false information does not merit an assumption of good faith. ~ Ningauble (talk) 21:19, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Antarctica which explains that it has no political leader, king or otherwise (although Norway is the only country with a terratorial claim in the Antarctic to currently have a King). If the nickname were mentioned on Harald V's article then I'd suggest retargetting it to the relevant section, but as it isn't there is no non-misleading way to point it there. Thryduulf (talk) 22:26, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget per Trhryduulf or Delete as there is no king -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:21, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget per Thryddulf is probably better. I have "speedy" retargeted the redirect to deal with the BLP issue but this thread can stay open. Ivanvector (talk) 05:27, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate with some or all of:
 * King Range (Antarctica), named by US-ACAN for Cdr. James P. King, USN, staff meteorological officer on Deep Freeze operations, 1962-64. (There is a DAB at King Range, these words I scraped from the article not that DAB)
 * King Peak (Antarctica), named for Clarence King, the first director of the USGS, 1879–81. (There is a DAB at King Peak, these words I scraped from the article not that DAB)
 * Unfortunately, King's association with Antarctica is not mentioned in his bio – perhaps it should be. RS here:
 * Territorial claims in Antarctica, though it does not mention any king.
 * Antarctic Treaty System, also discussing how claims are sorted out.
 * British Antarctic Territory, claimed 1908 under King Edward VII of the United Kingdom.
 * Antarctic Plateau, previously named:
 * King Edward VII Plateau in 1909 by Shackleton, for King Edward VII of the United Kingdom
 * Haakon VII Plateau in 1911 by Amundsen, for King Haakon VII of Norway
 * List of Antarctic features named after Norwegian royals - note the names there are in Norwegian, and redirect to English names for the places. Probably the English names should be given in the list, too.
 * Prince Harald Coast, where Harald V of Norway made a recent visit.
 * I know there are too many blue links there: for your convenience. This 2015 claim by Norway could be considered under WP:NOTNEWS, but I agree that if it's mentioned frequently in the Norwegian or international press then it would be imprudent to "suppress" it. Unfortunately my brief search for news outside of Norway doesn't turn up much. Si Trew (talk) 05:00, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't see any of them as good entries on a dab for the phrase "King of Antarctica" ("King, Antarctica" would catch a couple but not all). If Clarence King were called "King of Antarctica" (cf Lawrence of Arabia) it would make a good target/dab entry but I can't find any evidence he is/was. Thryduulf (talk) 11:16, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Understanding women

 * Understanding women → Feminism (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Understanding_women&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Simply not the same concept. Mr. Guye (talk) 02:20, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * The heading was requested in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Social_sciences#Sociology which I have seen on December 13th, 2014. Using my expertise in gender, I decided that what the requester wanted would be either Sociology of Gender or Feminism (since the request was posted on the Social Sciences - Sociology section of Requested Articles). Sociology of Gender is simply not good enough for such a wide topic / title. Feminism, on the other hand, provides a lot of useful information as well as links and references and is built around and by an active Wikipedia community. Hence the redirect. The redirect here suggests equivalence in content and substance, not sameness. Mehmetaergun (talk) 02:25, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete, per nom, not the same. -- Amaryllis Gardener  talk 02:51, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete or Weak Retarget to Women's studies -- Lenticel ( talk ) 00:15, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per comments above, and because I don't think it's possible for there to be a NPOV target for this. I think that women's studies is a poor choice of target for the same reasons. Ivanvector (talk) 00:43, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is an innacurrate target, and targeting a valid target that is not the title of a published work would essentially be a WP:NOTGUIDE violation. Steel1943  (talk) 00:48, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's just too vague. As a published guide, "Understanding women" would be handy (I'd buy one), but without one it's not encyclopaedic. The phrase could also mean "compassionate women" or, at a push, woman understudies or assistants, using "understand" in the archaic sense of being inferior or supporting. As well as lots of junk columns in the meeja, there is actually a book by this title that has good enough sales possibly to be notable (but not very):
 * However what we'd need to make that into an article is RS reviews of it: I can't find any. Nor much on the publisher New Tradition Books: self-published? Si Trew (talk) 05:42, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * There is also a guide in the Haynes Manuals series ("Haynes Family Manuals"):
 * These "Haynes Family Manuals" publications were perhaps launched slightly tongue-in-cheek (they are famed ih Britain for their car repair manuals, mostly bought by men) but with the serious intent of getting men interested in women's health etc., something usually restricted to women's magazines and perhaps considered taboo, so are not entirely frivolous. (That's just my opinion, of course.) Si Trew (talk) 05:50, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Chemical and Biological Warfare

 * The result of the discussion was retarget to Warfare. --BDD (talk) 18:48, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Chemical and Biological Warfare → Weapon of mass destruction (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chemical_and_Biological_Warfare&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

We can't redirect to both Chemical warfare AND Biological warfare so should we:

 * A: Keep as redirect to Weapon of mass destruction because on both Chemical warfare and Biological warfare they are stated as types of weapons of mass destruction, or;

 * B: Delete entirely because we have no good target to link to,

 * or some other option? Mr. Guye (talk) 00:53, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as is, Weapon of mass destruction is better than nothing. -- Amaryllis Gardener  talk 02:52, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Warfare, which summarizes the topic and links to both. Ivanvector (talk) 20:50, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget per Ivanvector. the two are commonly discussed together so this is a plausible search term. Thryduulf (talk) 22:37, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Warfare per Ivanvector -- Lenticel ( talk ) 01:38, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. I scanned NBC suit, Nuclear, Biological, Chemical (R to CBRN defense), Biological and Chemical Defence Review Committee and Chemical and Biological Arms Control Institute in the hope of finding something more specific, but can't. Si Trew (talk) 06:39, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Pussy power

 * Pussy power → Feminism (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pussy_power&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

The definition of Pussy power looking on Google seems to be more about a woman's dominance over a man post-sexual intercourse. Not at all feminism. Er. . .well it also just looks very shady. Mr. Guye (talk) 00:45, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. Again, *sigh* -- Amaryllis Gardener  talk 02:50, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
