Afzal Khan Shirazi

Mullah Shukrullah Shirazi (1570–1639), known by the royal title Afzal Khan, was a Mughal courtier during the reigns of Jahangir and Shah Jahan. He achieved fame as a scholar and rose to become Grand Vizier of the Mughal Empire.

Early life
Afzal Khan was born in Shiraz in Safavid Iran where his father was a petty revenue collector in Fars. Two of his father's brothers held financial positions in Iran, whilst two others were engaged in trade between Iran and India. Afzal Khan had a brother named Amanat Khan, who would later accompany him to India and become renowned for designing the calligraphic inscriptions on the Taj Mahal. Afzal Khan was educated in the secretarial arts, such as calligraphy, accounts, and prose composition. One of his early teachers was the scholar Taqi al-din Muhammad Shirazi.

Safavid administrator
Afzal Khan first entered the world of politics in the late 1580s/early 1590s, when he journeyed to Qazvin and began working under the brothers Farhad Khan Qaramanlu and Zulfikar Khan Qaramanlu, members of a prominent Safavid political family. He carried out administrative and diplomatic responsibilities. However, Farhad Khan fell out of favour in the Safavid court and was executed in 1598, as a result of which Afzal Khan withdrew from political life and relocated to Hamadan.

Mughal administrator
Following a period of study and wandering in Hamadan, Afzal Khan emigrated to India around the year 1608. Upon arriving at the port of Cambay he travelled to Burhanpur, an important Mughal city in the Deccan. Here he entered the service of Mughal noble Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khanan for three years, becoming one of his favoured companions. Khan-i-Khanan repeatedly recommended Afzal Khan to the Mughal Emperor Jahangir, who eventually granted Afzal Khan a mansab and reassigned him to the position of divan under then-prince Shah Jahan. By 1615, Afzal Khan emerged as one of the chief diplomatic figures in service of the prince. In December 1616, he was additionally made deputy governor of Lahore Subah.

When Shah Jahan rebelled against his father Jahangir, Afzal Khan continued to be in his employ. However, in mid-1624 he began to work increasingly for the emperor himself, and in 1626 was appointed the prestigious post of mir-i-saman by Jahangir. Following Jahangir's death in 1627, Afzal Khan supported Shah Jahan in the succession struggle, becoming one of his key allies. After Shah Jahan became emperor, Afzal Khan was elevated to the position of wazir, or prime minister. He was praised for his intellect, administrative abilities and mysticism, and his dedication to "maximising economic productivity and the affluence of the people."

He died at Lahore in 1639. His body was brought to Agra and he was laid to rest in a tomb now known as Chini Ka Rauza.

War of Qi's succession

The war of Qi's succession was a civil war in the State of Qi from 643 to 642 BCE, as the sons of Duke Huan of Qi fought against each other for the throne. Their struggle led to chaos in Qi and the intervention of several outside powers, until Duke Huan's intended heir, Prince Zhao (later known as Duke Xiao), emerged victorious. Nevertheless, four of Prince Zhao's rival brothers remained at large and continued to conspire for the throne, leading to a succession crisis that plagued Qi for decades. As a result, the succession war and its consequences greatly weakened Qi, which lost its status as China's predominant state.

Background
The state of Qi was a regionally powerful polity during the Western Zhou period (1046–771 BC), and as the Zhou dynasty's authority collapsed at the Spring and Autumn period's beginning, Qi grew into the dominating power of eastern China. As result, Qi was in an ideal position to expand its influence when Zheng's short-lived dominance over China declined. Nevertheless, Qi's development into China's predominant state was not just because of this favorable situation, but due to the efforts of two highly capable individuals: Duke Huan and his chancellor and advisor Guan Zhong. Under their leadership, Qi was reformed and became primus inter pares among the Chinese states, with Duke Huan rising to Hegemon of China. Toward the end of Huan's long reign (685–643 BC), however, Qi's dominance began to crumble. A military alliance led by Qi failed to stop the growth of the expansionist state of Chu, and even suffered defeat against it during the Battle of Loulin. Duke Huan's authority over the other states declined, a development accelerated by Guan Zhong's death in 645 BC. Having grown ill, the elderly duke also proved to be no longer able to keep the various political factions in his own realm under control.

These factions were led by six of his sons: Zhao, Wukui, Pan, Shangren, Yuan, and Yong. Since all of them were the children of different concubines instead of Duke Huan's three main wives (who bore him no sons), each of these six considered himself entitled to the throne. The officially designated heir was Prince Zhao, and Duke Huan and Guan Zhong even charged the ruler of neighboring Song, Duke Xiang to ensure his succession. With Guan Zhong's death and the old duke of Qi's health worsening, however, Wukui, Pan, Shangren, Yuan, and Yong increasingly voiced their opposition to Zhao's position as designated heir. Their pleas to make one of them the next ruler failed to sway Duke Huan, but he could not prevent them from plotting against each other. In consequence, the brothers gathered followers and prepared for the inevitable showdown between them.

Wukui's ascendancy and chaos
Duke Huan finally died in late 643 BC. According to the Guanzi and some other texts from the Warring States period, he was starved to death by four conspiring officials. Other notable sources for these events, such as the Zuo Zhuan and the Records of the Grand Historian, do not mention this. With the duke dead, the situation at the court escalated. The factions of crown prince Zhao and his rival brothers all took up arms against each other, and the capital city of Linzi descended into violent chaos. Wukui, however, had two powerful allies at the court: Diao, chief of the eunuchs, and Wu (also called Yiya), the chief cook. The Guanzi claims these two were among the conspirators who murdered Duke Huan. A party led by Diao and Wu managed to take control of the palace and murdered all rival officials they could capture; the other princes fled for their lives. On 11 November 643 BC, Wukui was crowned the new duke of Qi. Only then was the late Duke Huan finally encoffined; according to different accounts his corpse had laid unattended in his bedchamber for between seven days and three months due to the prevailing chaos, and already began to rot.

Despite his coronation, however, Wukui's rule proved far from secure. While Pan, Shangren, Yuan, and Yong all remained at large, it was Zhao who presented the greatest threat as he had fled to Duke Xiang of Song and asked for assistance. The ruler of Song promptly assembled an alliance against Wukui, consisting of Song, Cao, Wey, and Zou. The armies of these states, led by Duke Xiang and Prince Zhao, proceeded to invade Qi in March 642 BC. Wukui, on the other side, had won the support of the state of Lu, which sent an expeditionary army in order to aid him against the invaders. In the end, however, Wukui was murdered before the conflict could be decided on the battlefield. Growing fearful upon hearing about the Song-led invasion, the people of Qi revolted and put the usurper to death so that they could to welcome Prince Zhao as new duke.

Battle of Yan
As the news about Wukui's death spread, it was assumed that Zhao's ascendancy to throne had become inevitable, whereupon Cao, Wey and Lu withdrew their armies from Qi. In truth, however, the crown prince's position was not yet secured: As he was about to be enthroned by the people in the capital, Pan, Shangren, Yuan, and Yong returned with their adherents and attacked his party. Thus, Zhao was again forced to escape from Linzi as his rival brothers took control of the government and formed an alliance against him. The crown prince fled to Duke Xiang of Song who still remained in Qi with his army, and requested his help. Meanwhile, the united army of the four brothers sallied forth from Linzi in order to drive the troops of Song from Qi. The two forces met on the battlefield at Yan (modern-day Licheng District, Jinan), where the army of Song won a decisive victory. The four brothers fled from Qi, while Duke Xiang of Song enthroned Zhao at Linzi; from then on, Zhao became known as Duke Xiao of Qi. With the succession war seemingly concluded, the army of Song returned home.

Pan, Shangren, Yuan, and Yong were still active, however, and continued to conspire against the newly crowned duke. Soon after their defeat at Yan, the Beidi invaded and ravaged Qi, probably in order to aid the four brothers. This was not enough to weaken Duke Xiao, however, and Qi was restabilized. Soon after the Beidi attack, the situation had become calm enough for late Duke Huan to be finally buried with a proper ceremony, months after his death.

Aftermath
After his ascendancy to the throne, Duke Xiao attempted to restore Qi's former predominance in China. This led to a rift in his relationship with Duke Xiang of Song, as he too wanted to become hegemon. Though the two former allies even went to war over this issue, both failed in their efforts and Duke Wen of Jin became the next hegemon. Duke Xiao's line would also not last on Qi's throne, as his son and heir was murdered. The succession crisis thus continued until Prince Yuan took the throne in 608 BC. His descendants would rule Qi until 386 BC, when they were toppled by the Tian clan.

Latin/Lesson 5-Perfect Indicative

Latin Perfect Active Tense
The perfect tense is used for action that has already been completed. English has two corresponding constructions: present perfect and simple past. The present perfect uses the present of "to have" plus the past participle. ("I have sailed to Athens twice." "These women have spoken the truth.") The simple past is a separate verb form that indicates a completed action. ("I came, I saw, I conquered.") Another related form, which uses "did" as an auxiliary, is used for emphasis, negation or interrogation. ("I did see you at the Forum, didn't I?")

In Latin, the perfect indicative is equivalent to all of these.

The perfect endings:

(1) There is an alternative third person plural ending, -ēre, used mainly in poetry. For example, amāvēre = amāvērunt.

Although these endings apply to all Latin verbs, each verb's stem changes differently in the perfect tense. To find the stem, use the third principal part, which is the first person singular perfect active indicative form of that verb.

 * To conjugate the perfect present, attach the personal ending to the perfect stem.

Example

 * amō, amāre, amāvī, amātum; to love, like
 * Note that amāvī is the first person singular perfect active indicative. Drop the -ī to get the stem, which is amāv-, then add personal endings.

Singular:
 * amāv- + -ī = amāvī  (I have loved.)
 * amāv- + -istī = amāvistī (You have loved.)
 * amāv- + -it = amāvit  (He/She/It has loved.)

Plural:
 * amāv- + -imus = amāvimus  (We have loved.)
 * amāv- + -istis = amāvistis (You have loved.)
 * amāv- + -ērunt = amāvērunt (They have loved.)

Basically, the Perfect indicative active is the perfect tense under a flash name.

Rules for Finding the Perfect Stem
The perfect stem can often be guessed by knowing the verb's first person singular and infinitive. Here are some rules that perfect stems often follow.

avian
The fantasy sense: "A part-bird, part-human creature." Seems to be restricted to a set of games. Dmcdevit·t 07:39, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No, it actually is used across the genre of fantasy and also science-fiction. --EncycloPetey 20:00, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * True, but the sense varies; in Star Trek: Enterprise, for example, Avians are an alien race. Also, I'm not sure why, but there's a non-F&SF use of the noun to refer to birds (see e.g. b.g.c:"avians" for a range of uses). I think we should simply have four senses, two adjective and two noun: "Pertaining to birds"; "Pertaining to bird-like or flying creatures"; "A bird"; "A bird-like or flying creature". I don't think there's more information we can give without delving into the details of specific fictional universes. —RuakhTALK 21:12, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed. The sci-fi/fantasy usages are really an extension of the "bird-like" definition. --EncycloPetey 22:22, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

RFV failed. Additional senses added as discussed here. —Ruakh TALK 20:37, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Table of Ranks

Page needs better name
Table of Ranks is a poor title for this page. First of all each title should stand alone so it should be something like Table of ranks in Imperial Russia. I don't know enough about this subject to know if this is a good title or not and I don't want to do a page move only to have to have it moved again. Second, Wiki capitalization rules on page titles is that only the first word and proper nouns are capitalized.

 * Tabel o Rangakh (The Table of Ranks) is the name of the table as given by Peter I, so the capitalization is correct, as per Wiki capitalization rules. I think a more specific title would help, though - something like "Table of Ranks (Imperial Russia)" should work. [06-07-2006]
 * "Table of Ranks (Imperial Russia)" format of title is pointless. There is no other thing called Table of Ranks. Original article title restored. `'mikkanarxi 18:22, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Not true, in 1675, Louis instituted the ordre du tableau (Table of Ranks) making power dependent on rank and seniority (not noble birth).

Recheck a few specific titles
After I did some editing to clean up this table's appearance, I began to think it would be good for an expert to make certain I hadn't changed the proper column positions. I know very little of Peter's system and I specifically wondered about Court Councilors and Privy Councilors, which both sound to me more like court ranks than civil ranks. Thank you.

John Sinclair 09:29, 4 June 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saltlakejohn (talk • contribs)

 * They were both civil ranks. The names are a bit confusing :) Bazuz (talk) 23:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

 * I've just checked the background for надворный and it actually refers to a system of civil courts of justice (Надворный суд) with jurisdiction over the lower social estates, which originated in 1719 and are similar to the reichshofrat system of the Holy Roman Empire. These courts were led by a Hofrat, a Court Concillor; this was later made into a general beaurocratic rank and survives in Austria to this day. The Privy Councillor similarily originates from Geheimrat, a German successor to the Hofrat rank. So these two titles have originated from German judicial ranks, not English court or civil ranks. I have changed the wikilinks to somehow reflect this.
 * BTW I made ; I had to cross-translate many specialty titles from German to English, so some errors could remain and a check-up would be appreciated. --Dmitry (talk •contibs ) 19:51, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Personal nobility
It seems that the _personal_ nobility was _not_ given from the lowest (14th) rank, as the page currently says. Even Russian Wikipedia says:

"По манифесту 11 (23) июня 1845 года[9] право на потомственное дворянство приобреталось с производством в штаб-офицерский чин (8-й класс) или в чин 5-го класса гражданской службы при условии, что эти чины присвоены не при выходе в отставку. Личное дворянство чиновник получал только с 9-го класса, служащие в более низких чинах имели право на статус личных почетных граждан. В военной службе личное дворянство давали так называемые обер-офицерские чины (не выше 9-го класса)."

Basically, since 1845 you'd need 8th grade at military and 5th grade of civil service (not assigned at retirement) to get heredial nobility; personal nobility was assign from 9th rank, below that gives you a honoured citizen status. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:908:C38:B080:E4CB:2286:4684:D5B8 (talk) 19:31, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

The Next War (board game)

The Next War: Modern Conflict in Europe is a board wargame published by Simulations Publications, Inc. (SPI) in 1978 that simulates a hypothetical Warsaw Pact invasion of Western Europe.

Description
The Next War is a two-player game in which one player invades Western Europe with Warsaw Pact forces in the late 1970s, while the other player defends with NATO forces. The basic game is used for short scenarios. More complex rules allow for weather, supply lines, chemical or nuclear warfare, air and naval operations, airborne troops, amphibious landings, special forces, and electronic warfare. A campaign game of three scenarios covers the first 60 days after an invasion.

Game components
The game box contains:
 * three 22 x map sheets with a scale of 14 kilometres per hex
 * a 6 x and a 10 x map extension
 * 2400 die-cut 1/2" counters,
 * 32-page rulebook
 * 40-page "Scenarios and Situation Briefing" book
 * two identical 4-page "Charts & Tables" folders
 * Air Allocation Display

Publication history
The Next War was designed by James F. Dunnigan, with artwork and graphic design by Redmond A. Simonsen, and was published by SPI in 1978. The game was a bestseller for SPI. A month before publication, it appeared at number 2 on SPI's Top Ten list just on the basis of preorders. When the game was released in July 1978, it rose to #1 and stayed in SPI's Top Ten for a year.

Reception
In Issue 46 of Moves, Thomas Pratuch noted that "Next War is another 'supergame' from SPI with enough basic and optional rules to keep any gamer studying it for a long time."

In The Guide to Simulations/Games for Education and Training, Richard Rydzel commented, "This is an interesting but complex game. There are so many possible die modifications on attacks that each attack may require ten or fifteen minutes to compute the right odds. Also, keeping track of all the air and antiaircraft units is a burden and subtracts from the game's playability." Ryzdel concluded, "If one wishes to spend the time and effort on this game, it is a good simulation that seems to cover most areas of such conflict."

Awards
At the 1979 Origins Awards, The Next War was a finalist for a Charles S. Roberts Award in two categories: "Best Twentieth Century Game of 1978", and "Best Graphics and Physical Systems of 1978."

Talk:Spanish/Verb Tenses

Ugh. I have spent hours and hours on this page trying to make the presentation as simple and meaningful as possible. I think it makes sense to present the list of tenses in more than one way because it shows the relationships of the parts. Should they be on the same or different pages ? Is the way I have ordered them the most meaningful ? Someone who is a true linguist, please help me out here. -- Karl Wick

 * I'm a little confused about a couple of names. For example, the "potencial" would be called "condicional" (at least in Spain, I don't know if it's the same in Latin America).
 * As for the order of the tenses, in First_conjugation_verb_(Spanish), I made a table on the simple tenses of a typical verb (in this case, amar). I would suggest leaving subjunctive towards the end. Maybe...
 * INDICATIVO: presente - imperfecto - pretérito perf. simple - futuro - condicional + the corresponding composite tenses
 * SUBJUNTIVO: presente - imperfecto - futuro + the corresponding composite forms.
 * I'd note that pretérito perfecto compuesto (hube estudiado) is rare, and futuro de subjuntivo (estudiare) and futuro perfecto de subjuntivo (hubiere estudiado) are almost archaic and used only in law. Even so, I think a link to the last two forms would be useful. Not for people who don't know Spanish at all, but maybe for lawyers who would like to work in Spanish-speaking countries ^^ Sabbut 20:15, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

This page requires some serious work. I added the present subjunctive page, but there are many tenses that have not been addressed yet. I think that the archaic tenses should be on a separate page of "rare tenses," but that's just a thought. -Fenoxielo 5/18/05

I added a bit to the imperative section. It should probably be edited, but at least now there's something useful there.

Spanish vs. English Headings
It is hard for me to browse through this page and get what I need from it because all the names of the tenses are in Spanish. And I even know enough Spanish to read a book or newspaper or to have a simple conversation. What do others think about this? Would it be okay for me to add the English in addition to the Spanish? --Think Fast 14:04, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Potencial vs. Condicional
Is it more correct to say potencial or condicional for the conditional tense? Also, is the conditional a tense or a mood? --Think Fast 14:05, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Most historical event
I say Neil Armstrong stepping on the moon is the most historical event in my opinion as he became the first person to step on a celestial body for the first time in human history. For all of human history prior to this, people can only witness celestial body when looked up at the sky, that is how celestial was termed, after the Latin word for sky. Give us what you think is the most historical event, whether it be Apollo 11, Columbus discovering America, or even the beginning of agriculture. Planet Star  03:43, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Visually spectacular future
I saw the movie Valerian where it takes place centuries in the future and it's very spectacular visually. It makes me wonder that we may see a Valerian-like future in real life with space colonies like the Alpha Station seen in the film or beauties of aliens and of alien planets. Would you agree that future (esp. centuries from now) will be more visually spectacular than present times? Planet Star  03:43, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * No. Space, for the most part, is empty and black.  Not visually appealing.  Also, for those back on Earth, many forests and "amber waves of grain" may be gone in the future, replaced with factory produced food via hydroponics, etc.  The only natural thing which I expect to be more attractive in the future is more algal blooms, some of which are dramatic, but deadly.  I suppose global warming could also make some pretty things, like more and bigger hurricanes and flowers in the arctic.  As for alien life, the most likely form of alien life we would find would be brown sludge.  StuRat (talk) 03:51, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * It's people, Stu? Soylent Green is people?  Your dystopian leftist nonsense is nonsense Stu.  From 1900 to 2000 the almost entirely deforested US east of the Mississippi was reforested due to improvements in technology.  Meanwhile, the Eastern Block had the worst pollution in Europe, except where population loss allowed regrowth of areas like the Pripyet Marshes around Chernobyl.  I don't know how beautiful the future will look, but Shanghai is Spectacular, while Democrat-run Detroit is a cesspool. μηδείς (talk) 04:50, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * You put a weird political spin on the Q. I didn't say anything about communism or capitalism.  Increasing population on Earth will increase demand for resources, which leads to deforestation.  Sure, a few spots will be kept pretty, but large areas, like the Amazon, will suffer.  This is simply an extrapolation of current trends.

 * And Detroit was until quite recently run by the Republican governor, via an Emergency City Manager. (Flint, Michigan had the same honor, leading to the Flint Water Crisis.)

 * As for China, air pollution often makes the larger cities rather gray, which is not visually appealing at all: . StuRat (talk) 03:16, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Hat per Jayron's rational, this is a request for opinion μηδείς (talk) 05:46, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * That would be rationale. But it's rather odd to reply to a Q and then hat it.  StuRat (talk) 03:18, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Stu, I hatted the thread because I have the ability to think better of my earlier actions.

I'll point out that according to your "following current trends" statement is the usual nonsense of the activist environmentalists. According to the trend from 1850 to 1920, according to this government map, the US would be entirely void of trees at this point. Yet much of the east is reforested. According to trends, we should be knee-deep in flies by this time last year. Such scientific/market ignorant arguments are used by the left (and some on the right) to argue "we need a department of X!" That is political.

But the bottom line is that we have a horrible record of predicting the future over just a decade or two. And there's no non-opinion answer to this question. That's why I followed User:Jayron32's reasoning and hatted this post. I won't respond again, but you are free to post a question within the guidelines, such as one about trend-based predictions. μηδείς (talk) 19:50, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * If you rethought it, I'd expect you to have removed your post. The link you provided does not show, as you claim, that there were predictions of total deforestation of the East Coast of the US.  The top 3 pics show decline in old growth forest, while the larger pic shows current trees.  There's no incompatibility in the decline in old growth forests and a continuing population of new trees.  Did you, by any chance, get that link from a right-wing site which misrepresents the data ?  As for the extrapolation of current trends, the world population will continue to grow, barring a nuclear or biological war.  Those people will need things, many of which require wood (housing, furniture, fuel), and others of which require cleared land to produce (food, cotton, fuel).  Most of the new population will be poor, so high-tech solutions will be out of reach to them.

 * I would agree that extrapolating only a decade or two of human population data is iffy. But we have human population numbers going back thousands of years, and it has only had a few declines, such as due to the Black Plague, in all that time.  The trend remains ever upwards.

Equatorial Guinea airlines
List of air carriers banned in the European Union says that all airlines based in Equatorial Guinea are banned from entering the airspace of any EU country. However, CEIBA Intercontinental apparently has scheduled direct flights to and from Madrid. Does this mean that CEIBA Intercontinental is not actually banned? The article on the airline says only that it "was" on the banned list. --Viennese Waltz 09:28, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Nope, CEIBA Intercontinental is still (or was 4 months ago) explicitly on the list of banned airlines. Not sure how they've had flights to Madrid since 2012. Perhaps the flight is operated by another airline? No longer a penguin (talk) 12:58, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * As reported in this Voice of Africa article, on March 15 this year Equatorial Guinea's aviation minister announced that his country was coming off ICAO's blacklist according to audits given and received, and that it would "go to the European Union to request that they are coherent with respect to international agreements, by taking our country off their famous blacklist in order that our airlines can operate in European countries." On this government website's page, from the same time period a few months ago, he announces that lawyers are dealing with the matter and that flights to Madrid will be resumed, and also says the European Union would have nothing more to say in that matter (this despite the EU, not ICAO, being the body who decides who is on and off the list). I found nothing more recent regarding the EU's blacklist ---Sluzzelin talk  13:31, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * There does seem to be a flight [//www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/c2500]. I'm not sure how it gets around the ban other than the possibility of being operated by someone else as suggested by Nlap. Most sources suggest the aeroplane used is a 777-200ER aalthough FlightRadar24 also suggests a 737-800 may be used. If you look at CEIBA Intercontinental, it lists both of these as operated by White Airways. Nil Einne (talk) 18:24, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Using this info I found, these Spanish and Portugese sources . Machine translation suggests they confirm White Airways is operating the Malabo to Madrid route for CEIBA Intercontinental. Nil Einne (talk) 18:32, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The route is operated by CEIBA.  Our article White Airways suggests the aircraft are leased to provide the service on behalf of CEIBA.   They are likely painted in CEIBA colours (White's slogan is "WHITE, coloured by you").   The relevant sentence of the source says

"Já no mercado fora da Europa, a faturação foi obtida no mercado 'charter', na aviação executiva e na prestação de serviços à companhia de aviação da Guiné Equatorial CEIBA Intercontinental, para a qual a White assegura uma ligação regular a Madrid, além de voos 'charter' e assessoria técnica."

 * [Now in the market outside Europe, a business was obtained in the charter market, in executive aviation and in the offering of services to the company of aviation of Equatorial Guinea CEIBA Intercontinental, for which White assures a regular link to Madrid, as well as charter flights and technical assistance.] — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:41, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm sure they are painted in CEIBA colours, but your translation suggests the opposite of your first sentence. It suggests White Airways is operating the route on behalf of CEIBA. Actually your second sentence also seems to say this too. I presume CEIBA is doing all the selling, etc and branding it as their route, but White Airways is actually operating it, hence how this flight exists despite the EU ban. From the EU's POV it's fine since White Airways is operating the route so responsible for the important safety related stuff like maintaining the aeroplanes, and ensuring the personnel are competent etc. Nil Einne (talk) 17:58, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

 * The large number of banned airlines from some nations, like 55 from Indonesia, makes me suspect that once listed, an airline just changes it's name. To avoid this, the EU should instead ban all airlines from such nations, except for those they white-list.  Such airlines could, of course, then attempt to register in another nation, but either that nation would apply proper safety standards to any airline trying to register there, or they would also find themselves on the list. StuRat (talk) 14:55, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

 * I think they're on top of that one.  The article cited by the OP says, for Indonesia:

All except Airfast Indonesia, Premiair, Garuda Indonesia, Citilink, Batik Air, Lion Air and Indonesia AirAsia
 * Yeah, I don't really understand why this question even came up since it originated from a question relating to the fact all airlines from Equatorial Guinea are banned. The list StuRat seems to be referring to is quite clear on the point too. For example  and . The reasons for listing each individual known air carriers isn't clearly stated, but there are obvious ones why it may be considered better to list known air carriers as far as resonably possible. Nil Einne (talk) 18:09, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The flight number is CEIBA.  As far as the general public knows, it's just a regular flight by the state airline. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:01, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure but this question was explicitly not about what the general public knows but about how CEIBA manages to have a flight to Madrid despite being banned by the EU. The answer to that is that it's not a regular flight by the airline, but instead is a flight operated by White Airways on behalf of CEIBA and therefore is not, we assume given that it's allowed, in violation of EU rules. BTW, I should mention that this type of arrangement is called a wet lease, someone in the comment section seems to confirm it's how the Madrid flight operates here . (One thing I admit I'm not sure if whether it's a wet lease or damp/moist lease. I would assume that the cabin crew are important enough to safety that CEIBA can't directly provide them either hence my earlier comment about personnel, but I don't know for sure.) Our article explicitly notes one reason such an arrangement may be used is to allow an airline to have a flight into a place they're forbidden from operating. Incidentally, it's unclear to me that CEIBA is a state airline [//www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/40763-french-court-orders-ceiba-intercontinental-b777-released]. Also this source [//www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/53176-spanish-courts-approve-seizure-of-ceiba-777-over-debt-saga] suggests that the reason the 777 isn't generally used on the route is due to fears it will be seized. It does seem that there was a break in the flights for some reason, unfortunately that source is subscription only and I couldn't find any others saying what exactly happened, whether it was a problem with their wetlease arrangement, or they tried to operate without the wetlease arrangement given what was noted in the first few comments, or it had something to do with their plane seizure risk. Nil Einne (talk) 06:54, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Both aircraft are currently used on the Madrid route.  The rest of this reply was prepared after reading your 06:56 post but before reading your 07:00 post:

The plot thickens. The Boeing 700-200LR aircraft, according to our White Airways article, is part of the White fleet and used to service one of CEIBA's routes. So how was it "seized from Equatoguinean carrier CEIBA Intercontinental"? CEIBA is the national airline, it is a company and the State of Equatorial Guinea owns 100 per cent of it. What is the exact meaning of the phrase in the article "as well as on lease on behalf of other airlines"? The CEIBA article says "As of August 2016, CEIBA Intercontinental operates the following passenger aircraft". It then lists the two Boeings which ply the Madrid route noting "operated by White Airways." The two claims are contradictory.
 * I don't see any clear evidence CEIBA Intercontinential is state owned. Sure some sources say it is, but if it was so clear, the we can presume CBGE wouldn't have failed to prove ownership to a French court. This source from 2013 likewise claims Equatorial Guinea does not have a national airline [//centreforaviation.com/insights/analysis/air-cemac-moves-closer-to-launch-in-partnership-with-air-france-121978]. (It calls CEIBA Intercontinential a Flag carrier, but as our article notes, that doesn't necessarily mean it's state owned.) This source says "Initially formed by the government of Equatorial Guinea" which leaves open the question of what happened afterwards.  In most cases, if a company is state owned both the government and company are happy to say that but I'm not seeing clear evidence for that here. (There are of course cases besides ones like this where this isn't the case. E.g. companies connected to intelligence agencies, or companies buying submarines or stuff that the government isn't allowed to buy.) It may be that the government is intentionally being murky about the ownership structure of CEIBA Intercontinential because of the disputes and seizure attempts. Or it may be something else has happened. There may be better sources in Spanish and perhaps French, but I speak neither.  Equatorial Guinea isn't exactly known for having a free press where reporters are able to ask questions like 'who owns this airline and where did their money come from and if the money came from the government but we don't actually own it anymore, how did that happen and what did we get in return?' And while there's some limited international interest, it's the sort of thing probably not easy to find. Plus since it's the sort of thing of limited general interest but possible business interest, a lot of sources are like the ones earlier and need payment or subscription e.g.   . (I mean despite it being an obvious question, it's not like there were tons of sources noting how they managed to operate a flight to Madrid.)  It doesn't help that the official website is under construction. They do have an official Facebook [//www.facebook.com/pg/Official.ceiba.intercontinental] and Twitter [//twitter.com/OficialCeiba], but these don't seem to mention ownership anywhere that I noticed, although as in Spanish. (But the Facebook about seems to just be a standard T&C/you give permission.) Also it seems like there is possibly another 777 which operates as the presidential jet to further confuse matters. (I'm not certain about this as some sources mention a 777 as the Presidential jet   (comments section, also some of the earlier souces) while others suggest it's CEIBA owned but regularly used by the president [//www.africaintelligence.com/LCE/alert-lce/2016/10/04/obiang-s-boeing-seized-in-lyons,108184055-ART] but yet others seems to imply this is a sham possibly because there are already 10 or so presidential jets, but it's also possible that this was was initially intended and then for whatever reason the president decided they didn't actually need a 777 and let CEIBA actually use it for service at least some of the time .  One obvious point as those and other sources e.g. [//www.africaintelligence.com/LCE/business-circles/2016/03/09/amac-aerospace-enhances-obiang-s-air-force-one,108133675-ART] hint at is the configuration of a jet for regular passenger service probably doesn't fit well what a VVIP expects. Especially a president with the history of Obiang. So I'm not quite sure how well sharing would work. It also doesn't seem good for an airline if you regularly have to randomly use a different plane whenever the president wants it, but I'm far less sure anyone involved cares about that angle other then those in White and elsewhere who have to deal with the crap that results, and any passengers affected. Definitely the sources and others like ( suggest there's a lot of weird history with at least one 777 owned by CEIBA. And that's not even counting it being seized or under threat of seizure once or twice a year  (+ earlier links or others e.g. )  I eventually found  which is French and seems to be a letter from someone in CEIBA to a journalist or paper disputing a story. if I can trust the translation, the person says that the article noted CEIBA Intercontiential is "national company" (I presume whatever term was used it means state owner) and it doesn't look like whoever wrote the reply is disputing this, still even if the original French does strongly imply whoever wrote the reply is agreeing that CEIBA is state owned, it does seem definitive evidence.  Incidentally, I also finally found  which seems to confirm the suspension of the service earlier this year was related to the legal dispue, although I'm still not sure how they were able to continue. Your point about both does seem right. I was initially unsures since last time I looked, I'm pretty sure while FlightRadar showed both 737 and 777s on the route, only the 737 seemed to have actually flight data (the others were just unknown), but this time it's the opposite, only the 777 have flight data.  I don't quite understand your White Airways point. I've seen some sources suggesting CEIBA did own a 777 at one point in time. Some sources like   (well not visible there but in a Google search result) [//www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/29361-ceiba-intercontinentals-first-portuguese-registered-b737-arrives]  (and I think some of the earlier ones) seem to imply it was "transferred" (or similar wording) to White Airways. There's a fair chance that CEIBA still owns the 777 despite this transfer which was just done to enable White Airways to wet lease it back to CEIBA i.e. operate it on their behalf, one of the earlier sources  has simila rcomments. In that case, a court may very well consider that it can be seized as CEIBA is the ultimate owner regardless of it being registered as a White Airways plane. (Of course this also requires that the Spanish court was either sufficiently convinced that CEIBA or at least the plane is state owned, or for some reason is willing to allow non state owned assets of Equatorial Guinea to be seized. Although I'd note that this seems to have been some sort of preliminary ruling allowing a case to go ahead. It may very well have been the case would have ended up like the French one, or maybe it did, but CEIBA thought it too risky to try.) And I'd note that as Portugese company, it's unlikely White Airways could simply hide or lie to a Spanish court about what's actually going on with the airplane. (Whereas by comparison, it probably be harder to get people in the government and people in CEIBA to accurately testify as to who actually own's CEIBA hence possibly the problems in France.)  Again, I'm not sure how this was resolved. The Facebook suggests they begun the flights again on June 29 which I note seems to be 9 days+1 week after the Minister of Foreign Affairs was sent to Spain to deal with the problem as per the earlier source . The timing makes me think there was probably some degree of political involvement. But it's possible that was unrelated and CEIBA convinced the Spanish court, like they did with the French court, that their state ownership is unclear. Maybe CEIBA convinced the court that the plane onwership is unclear. Maybe there's something else going on, e.g. White Airways is now using another 777 and the CEIBA 777 is either in storage or being used somewhere else where CEIBA isn't afraid of seizure. Maybe the 777 was seized somewhere again so it became a moot point.  There are probably some public sources, but frankly I'm not really that interested in the murky dealings of Equatorial Guinea to find out why it seems unclear who owns CEIBA, and what the latest is on their apparently many court trivials of CEIBA and their planes or even how many 777s they actually have. I am fairly confident that the answer to the original question is as initially stated, CEIBA has a flight from Malabo to Madrid because it's actually operated by White Airways on their behalf. In the form of a wet-lease arrangement. Actually I just noticed the EU source linked early on specificially notes wet lease aircrafy can be used [//ec.europa.eu/transport/sites/transport/files/modes/air/safety/air-ban/doc/list_en.pdf].

Buildings in Raffles Place, Marina Centre, Marina Bay Sands, Bugis and Kallang have height restrictions of up to 280 meters because they're too close to an Air Force base. Maybe if the base was further away this complex wouldn't have been dispersed into 3 towers and Singapore wouldn't have so many 919 foot towers tied for tallest building in the country. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 04:04, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Though, as of last year, they're tied in 2nd place. The Tanjong Pagar Centre's developers obtained special permission to construct a building measuring 290 m (951 ft). See also list of tallest buildings in Singapore. ---Sluzzelin talk  12:30, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Bengal famine of 1943/1

Bengal famine of 1943

 * • [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Good_article_reassessment/Bengal_famine_of_1943/1&action=watch Watch article reassessment page] • Most recent review
 * Result: Delisted Kept. Another month has passed and no new comments. It was passed originally as a Good Article and the editor who objected to it being passed as well as another editor that conducted one of the more thorough reviews here agree it now meets the criteria. This is probably as good as we get here at community reviews. AIRcorn (talk) 09:05, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Knock knock. reverted Legobot. I don't mind. I'm not angry. But I think it's out-of-process. I believe he also stated that he is currently uninterested in participating in the reviewing process. Which is also fine (and if he participated, that would be fine too). In short, this is a bit confused. Perhaps you folks should hash it out... OH PS If I may make a personal appeal to whoever reads this page: I hope you will not take up the issue of whether the reversion of Legobot was out-of-process. It was. But just pretend that never happened. Please treat this as a straightforward community GAR and review the article on its merits or lack thereof. Thank you. ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 20:44, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * This article embraces an extraordinary range of topics. It is about one of the great tragedies of the 20th century, the bewilderingly complex and multifarious roots of the tragedy, the unfolding of the tragedy, the attempts at ameliorating the tragedy, and the lessons and legacy of the tragedy. Scholars of extraordinary range, such as Amartya Sen have built their careers by analyzing the tragedy.
 * This article is starkly different from the great majority of articles that routinely achieve FA status on Wikipedia. If you are a reviewer here considering contributing a review and your review will be limited to grammar and punctuation, please consider doing something else on Wikipedia. If you are are a reviewer that is not willing or able to discuss in some detail why the article satisfies GA criteria 3 and 4, then don't bother to review the article. You very likely have nothing to offer in this reassessment. It may be that qualified reviewers will not appear immediately, but it will be worth the wait.   Fowler&fowler  «Talk»  12:40, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * PS In fact, I would urge reviewers to skip grammar and punctuation entirely. This article has been worked on for so long by so many competent editors (for example at three FACs) that grammar and punctuation is very likely a marginal issue.  Fowler&fowler  «Talk»  12:51, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * PPS Lingzhi: Sorry I didn't realize it was out of process. I was, however, pointing out a greater inequity, the GA-fate of an article of such range and depth pivoting on the words of just one reviewer.  This is not one of those hurricane or movie articles, littering the FAs, with hackneyed templates and rudimentary sourcing, that anyone can write or review.   Fowler&fowler  «Talk»  13:21, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * No, a reassessment needs to look at all of the GA criteria, and the recommendation that people ignore any of them should itself be ignored. Everything should be on the table, and I think it would be helpful if Fowler&fowler stopped giving directions to potential participants and sit back and allow the GAR process to run its course, the more because we want all of the criteria to be met, not just the two they happen to feel need work, though those naturally will need to be addressed. This is a GA reassessment, and FA criteria and reviews are irrelevant here. Finally, the GA criteria and process are the same for all articles, however structured; this may be a flaw in the process, but it does not change the fact that the GAN does of its design rely on a single reviewer, and if an editor feels the reviewer has gone astray or insufficiently deep, GAR is the (perhaps also flawed) backstop. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:28, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Dear I apologize, of course, and defer to your considered judgment. (I'm assuming you have some position of authority in the GA process.)

I do understand your point about reassessment and agree with what you have stated, and also with your calling out my error. But, with respect, the previous reviewer said not a peep about criteria 2 c, d, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Not a peep, in return, was heard from anyone before its promotion, nor after. That is, other than me. I do understand that going around monitoring every GA is not any part of your charge, but you have to understand my concern. All too often reviews are only about grammar, or about perfunctorily affixing the green cross six times against the GA criteria. How often do reviewers explain their choices? Anyway, now that I'm reassured you are watching, I will step away. Best regards,  Fowler&fowler  «Talk»  23:13, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Have to agree with Fowler on this. The article has already been heavily copy edited during its FACs, and anyway it was never a major concern in those reviews, with a general view that it is quite well written. Would prefer if review efforts focused on more substantial matters. Ceoil  (talk) 04:19, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Vami's review
In reviews I conduct, I may make small copyedits. These will only be limited to spelling and punctuation (removal of double spaces and such). I will only make substantive edits that change the flow and structure of the prose if I previously suggested and it is necessary. For replying to Reviewer comment, please use ✅,, , ❌, , or , followed by any comment you'd like to make. I will be crossing out my comments as they are redressed, and only mine. A detailed, section-by-section review will follow. — ♠Vami _IV†♠  05:10, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Update: As per Fowler&fowler's comment(s) above, I'll (mostly) keep my review to GA criterion 3 & 4 (Broadness and Neutrality, respectively). The nominee, other reviewers, and readers should note that I know little about the topic at hand but am an experienced editor. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  19:10, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I: As a pre-reading note (to myself), this article is really big (164,134 bytes at time of writing), and "Broadness" will probably mean "what can safely be condensed, removed, or better yet moved to another article". – ♠Vami _IV†♠  19:20, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * II: Many of my comments will be made with the intention of reducing the article's size, if this was not already made clear. Prepare to see more "axes" than you'd find in a lumberjack's lodge. I will also make comments on grammar and style, but they won't necessarily be my focus. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  00:50, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Lead

 * Footnote A: I could probably park a car on Footnote A, it's so big. It should reduced to just the various figures and the sources espousing them. Apply this to all footenotes.
 * I trimmed about 110 words from footnote [A]. Alas, trimming it further would be counter-productive. There's a specific Wikipedia-related reason why that particular footnote (about mortality count) goes into detail: the mortality count is perhaps the biggest target of drive-by "improvement" by "helpful editors". It's also a target of talk page soap-boxing. Details help maintain article stability. ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 23:23, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * This is good. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  01:18, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The Bengal famine of 1943 [...] was a major famine of the Bengal province in British India during World War II. I have a suggestion and an error to point out. The latter first. The use of "of" and "in" are erroneous here. The subject matter, an event concerning a locality, happens in that locality. Next, it is correct to say that the Bengal province was in British India, but it's a piece of that body, like how an arm is a limb of the human body. Thus, The Bengal famine happens in the Bengal province of British India during World War II. Now the suggestion: replace this non-current text (Bengal province of British India) with the current information in Footnote B (The area now constitutes [...]), thereby reducing it. Let the rest of the article explain that this used to be a British possession – the lead is for brevity.
 * I envision this: The Bengal famine of 1943 (Bengali: পঞ্চাশের মন্বন্তর pônchasher mônnôntôr) was a major famine in modern-day Bangladesh and the Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura, and Orissa. Footnote B should be deleted once this is affected; the cyclone mentioned on 10 April 1943 does not occur again in the article.
 * I removed mention of the Orissa cyclone, and swapped "in" and "of". I'm afraid that your further suggestions would create an anachronism, since the famine did not occur in Bangladesh, since Bangladesh did not yet exist. Trust me, that wording would be reverted in FAC. I know because an excellent image that very clearly illustrates the effects of smallpox File:Smallpox child.jpg was the subject of ongoing consternation in an earlier FAC, until I finally gave in and removed it. ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 06:59, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Carry on. I hope I've been and will continue to be the most hassle-free of your reviewers. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  10:34, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I am deeply grateful for your patience and courteous good will. ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 15:28, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Footnotes C, D, & E: Keep recommendations for further reading to "Further reading"; axe these.
 * I deleted a sentence from [C] that suggests further reading, although it broke my heart to do so & did it under protest. I think giving useful information to readers is a primary goal... changed [D] to an sfn. ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 07:12, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Footnote F: Convert this into a citation. The quotation could be kept by using the |ps= parameter in Template:sfn.
 * I think I did all these, or as much as I saw. If you see another that can be converted, please let me know. ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 04:12, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Footnote G: The first sentence of this footnote is redundant and should be axed.
 * I think that footnote is used twice, and the first sentence is not redundant in the second use... ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 04:12, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, carry on then. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  13:30, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Background

 * Footnote L: The harvardref at the end should be moved to the beginning of the note to match all prior footnotes citing the Famine Inquiry Commission.
 * done
 * Footnote O would be best located at three diverse economic and social groups: or at the end of the sentence to which it is attached.
 * ((ping|Vami_IV}} I moved it behind "particularly in Bengal,"... I think I'm caught up with your comments. Thank you for your attention ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 14:09, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Footnote R should either receive a reliable citation or be axed outright.
 * Sourced, tks. ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 03:33, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I think the terms for the social classes should be more often utilized; it would reduce prose size and make it easier for the reader to know who's who.
 * I just now re-read the Background section and it's all quite clear to me. But perhaps that's because I am familiar with the content. What part were you referring to specifically? Tks ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 12:33, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Nevermind; it is quite clear, and having read ahead now there's not really a lot of opportunity to use the Persian/Urdu terms. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  13:27, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Make the current thumbnail text for the image of the Sundarbans its alt-text; it's a bit long for something that is already obvious to whoever can see the image.
 * Shortened thumbnail text; just made previous thumbnail text the alt text ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 13:43, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * The flooding of fallow fields Is this flooding during the crisis or from regular monsoons?
 * added "annual" ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 19:16, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Pre-famine shocks and distress

 * one million Indians My understanding of India, though minimal, is that it is a country of many ethnicities, not to mention two or three major religions. I am therefore confused by the use of "Indians" here.
 * Yes, and the two biggest are Hindu and Muslim. But since AFAIK everybody from India ran for India, the collective term "Indians" is applicable ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 19:21, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
 * [...], even as the beginning of a food crisis began to become apparent. This could be reduced; even as a food crisis began.
 * As a second prong, a "boat denial" policy How about The second prong?
 * Done
 * Footnote AN: This is generally not the place to bash a scholar's work.
 * rm "incorrectly" ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 13:18, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * If it's incorrect information, why should it stay? – ♠Vami _IV†♠  01:19, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * To guard against the (admittedly unlikely, in this case, because it isn't attention-grabbing like the mortality figures) event that anyone tries to "correct" it by citing the erroneous figure. Actually, there are even bigger errors about other dates in other sources. Some errors left unmentioned in this article are "yuge" (as in, off by a year, screwing up the whole timeline, potentially confusing everyone who is paying any attention at all). So I guess if you really wanna delete this we can. I'll do it now. ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 01:36, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Footnotes & references
Why are footnotes containing the content of a cited passage present in the article? Are the existing citations and the prose they support not reliable enough without them? – ♠Vami _IV†♠  09:53, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I believe the total number of footnotes has been reduced from 63 to 47, but I am starting to run out of opportunities to reduce them by converting to . ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 15:28, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Ó Gráda's 2010 article Revisiting the Bengal Famine of 1943–44 is not cited.
 * Moved to "Further reading" ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 13:21, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

 * The Government of India 1945 citation is broken.

Famine, disease, and the death toll
That footnote is already a named footnote. It is used in the lede and used in the infobox. So you wanna use it three times? Fine with me... ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 14:29, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
 * The figures for the death toll are not discussed here?
 * Well yeah, this section discusses what groups of people died, what regions had higher mortality rates, and what causes of death were most frequent... the totals are discussed in the very first footnote very early on.. I suppose we could get rid of that footnote and move that text to this section. .. Actually I dunno why I never thought of that; it seems reasonable... That would make the article a little longer.... and what would I do in the infobox to verify the figures? ... but it could be done. BTW, a LOT LOT LOT of this article has been trimmed away. If you want to see the whole poopdy scoopdy (including a couple errors that were caught by myself and others later), you can look at this ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 11:43, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
 * MMmmm, no, on second thought, the detailed details in the detailed footnote are too detailed. They don't fit with body text. I can try to add one summary sentence copied from the lede... ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 14:10, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
 * For once I'm not saying to outright obliterate a section of the article. Hell, you could economically use that first Footnote again with some sums of fatalities in summary via a named footnote, like Footnote G. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  14:22, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I slept on it and realized my suggestion was dumb since the article prose is supposed to expand on the lead content. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  08:02, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Go with the idea you responded to this inquiry, but maintain the first Footnote. Move the majority of its content out of it and into a paragraph under this section, and have that Footnote refer to this paragraph, or better yet link to it with the anchors/bookmarks you use elsewhere in the article.
 * To be honest, I still think "Dyson had this number, Greenough had that number" is too detailed for body text...I tried to add the total mortality, the footnote, and beef up the text.. actually, I've sorta kinda reordered that entire section. Please give it a look and let me know what you think. Tks! ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 09:40, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Works for me. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  23:48, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Economic and political effects

 * Replace the period at the end of the the last sentence of the first paragraph with a colon or add a citation to it.
 * I tweaked it to make it clear that it referred to the table. ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 11:43, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Causation
A better name for this section would be "Historiography", as "Background" and "Pre-famine shocks and distress" already give the causes while this section discusses what historians thought the cause was. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  12:52, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Done ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 13:39, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

GA(R) Progress
This review, though it will be slow in coming, is in progress.

Comments by Lingzhi2

 * and all others.. I'm gonna try to stand back and avoid bothering/interrupting folks. I don't wanna be a nuisance... But I do wanna make one general statement about the prose size of the article. This topic is huge in more ways than one. It genuinely merits the prose size it is given... The size, at 72 kb, would put it somewhere around 165th from the top on a descending list of GA articles by prose size and somewhere around 80th (give or take a few) among FAs. (See this thread for a table of the top 20 or so..Oh and don't get confused by looking at the table for alt text size.. the prose size table is lower on the page I think). Moreover, there have been several comments made by FAC people that the "Size guideline" section of WP:TOOBIG might need to be revised or simply kinda mostly ignored, in many cases, when the topic merits the size... This one does. Amartya Sen's analysis of it marked a turning point in the research area of famines (as Fowler&fowler suggested), and of course it is an epochal catastrophe. ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 04:16, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I generally agree that this topic is a major topic, and that the usual rules of WP about article size not be applied stringently to it. The Famine Commission of 1945 said it all. See the quote box.   Fowler&fowler  «Talk»  17:50, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * indeed. Ceoil  (talk) 20:30, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I would like to add that I'll be taking a vacation from Wikipedia very soon. After this rigorous GAR, I expect the article will go to its well-deserved FAC.  I won't be here, but please consider this post an expression of my Support for promotion to FA.  The article has seen major improvements since I opposed it at an earlier FAC.  May I take this opportunity also to express my thanks,  admiration, and congratulations to  for persevering with this article through thick and thin.  All the best,  Fowler&fowler  «Talk»  00:39, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

This is Triple Crown material if I ever saw it. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  08:36, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you muchly, Vami_IV, for such a diligent review. Ceoil  (talk) 02:57, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Next steps
Now that Vami_IV is satisfied that the article now meets the GA criteria, as this is a community reassessment, other editors need to weigh in as to whether they think the article meets the criteria and retains its GA listing, or if it doesn't and should be delisted: During the reassessment discussion, consensus must decide if the article has improved enough to meet the good article criteria. When the reassessment discussion has concluded, any uninvolved editor may close it. It should not be unilaterally closed by any involved editor, even Vami_IV, though they have done excellent work in reviewing the article on the basis of the criteria, and merit great thanks. I have reopened the GAR so it can continue and conclude in the prescribed manner. Thanks to anyone who weighs in going forward. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:20, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carey Martin (2nd nomination)

The result was redirect to The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. Salvio 11:28, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Carey Martin
AfDs for this article:
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (biographies) Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant English-language coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. The keep from 2013 was because  of the two votes, one stating that 'a character that appeared in 83 episodes is notable' and another 'keep per'. Sigh. I think our standards are a bit higher now. (Oh, this is also totally unreferenced... and pure WP:OR/WP:PLOT). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:44, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Fictional elements-related deletion discussions. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here  02:44, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep. This nomination is so erroneous, citing Notability (biographies), which applies only to actual living people, on a page whose subject is a fictional character, giving rise to serious question as to whether the nominator has read ad understood the article and guideline in question. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.  Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong! (talk) 04:27, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry I linked the wrong guideline, a copy paste typo. I did properly categorize the AfDs, fortunately. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:36, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, alright, nomination has a problem. WP:NOTBURO applies, as that doesn't change the fact that this article is completely unsourced, meaning the character is clearly not notable, as they fail WP:GNG. The article currently fails WP:PLOT as well. Devonian Wombat (talk) 10:55, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * That's not a good redirect target at all. The character appeared in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody but then also appeared in the spin-off and, I think, in the TV movie as well. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 16:02, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Well those are clearly supplementary media, meaning that the original TV show is clearly the best redirect target. Of course, if you do not think that is a good redirect target I would be fine deleting the article without one. At the moment, no-one has given any reason for her being notable besides “well she appeared in lots of episodes”. Devonian Wombat (talk) 23:06, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The character appeared in two series so you need to cover both in the information on the character but it wouldn't be appropriate to include information about the second series in the first series' article. That's why a separate character article exists. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 05:48, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - If you are going to nominate something for deletion, please don't make up things. At no time did anyone say "a character that appeared in 83 episodes is notable". This is the second time the nom has used this. In fact the series had 87 episodes and the character subsequently appeared as a recurring character in the spin-off. Also, there were 3 keeps, not 2. Misrepresenting the number of keeps is something the nom has done at another AfD. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 16:02, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Seriously this is what you yourself said in the past AfD, it's right there at top: "The character is a major character in a televison series that spanned 87 episodes and has had a significant role in another. The character is clearly notable". As for the number of keep, sure, three. All with very bad rationales not based on policy, and all should be disregarded back then just as they should be right now. Fortunatley, our standards are improving. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:38, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Where did I say 83? This is the same number that you've used in two AfDs and it's been wrong in both cases. You failed to mention the other appearances of the character and you misrepresented the voting in the AfD. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 05:44, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 83, 87... it's splitting the hair. And totally irrelevant to the fact that this article fails WP:V and WP:GNG. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:17, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The term is "splitting hairs" and no, it's not. You have made this error in multiple AfDs. In one you somehow mixed 158 with 83. When you start an AfD you need to be accurate and not misrepresent facts, which is what you have been doing. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 06:43, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete the article is even totally unreferenced so it fails WP:V as well as WP:GNG - GizzyCatBella  🍁  04:48, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect. With the exclusion of the guideline mistake, the nomination is completely sound, so nitpicking on the minor details is pointless. The article completely fails WP:GNG, and not a single source has been shown to exist in either AfD. TTN (talk) 20:54, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The guideline mistake AND the number of episodes AND misrepresentation of the previous AfD !votes. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 01:44, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * You're ultimately going down the wrong train of thought. Trout the nominator all you want, it doesn't really change the article's issues. Anything after the guideline issue is small potatoes not worth bothering with unless you're really that much of a stickler about having them to fully clarify and correct what you'd consider an error. TTN (talk) 02:02, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the show's article. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 19:33, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Suite Life of Zack & Cody as it's a plausible search term Spiderone  10:12, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete / redirect due to a lack of reliable sources with significant coverage. Procedural criticisms aside, the nomination is completely accurate, and we can't keep this article without WP:SIGCOV. Jontesta (talk) 15:05, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:ZZZZZ

For anyone interested, this is the alphabetically last article in Wikipedia. —Cuivi é nen 07:22, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

That's why I came here! Glad somebody else is interested in this kind of useless trivia (although I guess you'd have more of an excuse)! The alphabetically first, incidentally, for anyone who may stumble across this (well, alphabetically second, because A is alphabetically first and that's a bit of a boring answer), is either A. A. AbouTaleb or Aa!, depending on whether or not you count spaces. Additionally, if we take more than just letters into accounts, and allow in punctuation, digits, special characters, and the rest, the last alphabetically is ∞-topos and the first is !!!. And, lastly, if we consider all (mainspace) pages, not just articles (redirects, disambigs, and the rest get a look-in), the first page is ! (a redirect to Exclamation mark) and the last is %F3%A0%81%BE (a redirect to Tags (Unicode block), and a nightmare to link to). That's very purposefully taking all characters into account there since other we'd just have the pretty boring answer that they're just redirects to their own article equivalents. Anyway, I've already rambled on way too long and officially speaking I'm not sure if we're supposed to be using talk pages in this way so I'll stop now. --StrexcorpEmployee (talk) 01:17, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
