Isabella Gordon Mackay

Isabella "Bella" Mackay born Isabella Gordon (1777/8 – 15 November 1850) was a British philanthropist and religious activist. She was the leading light of the Edinburgh Ladies Association and together they funded the education at Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia in the nineteenth century.

Life
Mackay was probably born in Brora in 1777 or 1778. Her parents were landed gentry even if their estate was small. They were Isabella (born McLeod of Geanies) and John Gordon of Carrol.

She married John Mackay of Rockfield on 3 May 1803 and the following year they bought a small estate at Tarbat, Easter Ross which they called "Rockfield". They were the largest landowners in Tarbat. Her husband was briefly in the civil service in India until he was declared blind. He was given a pension and returned to Scotland. They were Presbyterians and their father-in-law was Reverend Thomas Mackay who was a University of Edinburgh graduate and a previous minister of Lairg. They enjoyed a high social status and they lived in a number of places in England in Scotland, including the highlands, Devon and London. In 1823 they returned again to Edinburgh and settled, although they spent their summers at "Rockfield" which they maintained and improved.

In 1832 she appealed to the Edinburgh Ladies' Association to support her interests. She was concerned with supporting the Scottish Presbyterian people in Nova Scotia in Canada. In particular the colony on Cape Breton Island. She and the association acted as one and Mackay would write to prominent Scots for support. The association recruited teachers in Scotland and sent them to Canada to help the children of the island to learn, become good Presbyterians and to learn Gaelic.

In 1837 the Boularderie Academy opened and Mackay is credited with remotely causing this to happen. The academy offered lessons about English grammar, geography, Latin, algebra, and navigation. Moreover, she was arranging bursaries for leading Cape Breton Island students to attend the Free Church College in Halifax. The college would welcome these students as it was Mackay who paid for a third of that college library's costs.

Death and legacy
Mackay died in Edinburgh in 1850. By this time "her" Association was funding three teachers, five ministers, eight catechists and three students in Cape Breton Island.

Laurie Stanley-Blackwell published "The Well-watered Garden: The Presbyterian Church in Cape Breton, 1798-1860" in 1983 which identifies Isabella Gordan Mackey as a "whirlwind".

In 1995 a memorial of thanks was raised to her and the Edinburgh Ladies Association. Thanks to them Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia enjoyed teachers, ministers, an academy, books and bibles to improve their spirits. The stone is at the position of where the academy was. The academy was staffed by a young couple who taught children there and they would write to the association that sent them. Alexander and Catherine Munro were both trained at David Stow's Glasgow Normal School and Catherine was appointed so that the academy could also teach female students. The 1995 memorial (above) mentions particularly the Boularderie Academy calling it the "Boularderie (Munro) Academy".

Talk:Denis Robert

Untitled
The description given on the main article miss the point: Clearstream shall not be considered as a political scandal, but as the name of a compagny (the bank of the banks) in which it is possible to make money travel around the world without leaving any published trace. This is mainly what Denis Robert shows in some of his books.

POV
This article clearly slips out of encyclopedic tone and also shows a clear bias in favor of that section. That section ought to be removed completely or totally rewritten. Cheers V. Joe 20:39, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

POV section removed
The following section shall be read very carefully. It points the finger at a book which is not the heart of Denis Robert's work. The book "Clearstream: L'Enquete" is interesting, but is just a side order and is pushed under the lights be people who do not want the first two investigation books to be well known.

He has written two other books about his investigation of Clearstream: "La Boite Noire" ("The Black Box")in 2002 and "Clearstream: L'Enquete" ("Clearstream: The Investigation)in 2006. The last one focuses on another aspect of the Clearstream scandal, which implicates several high-ranking French government officials. In 2005, an investigative judge received anonymous letters with extensive Clearstream accounts information and records. Some of these accounts seemed to belong to Nicolas Sarkozy, the French Interior Minister, rival of President Jacques Chirac and his protege, Dominique de Villepin, the Prime Minister of France. Furthermore, the accounts were supposed to be the home of illegal bribe money, tied to a secret arms deal with Taiwan (Taiwan-frigates scandal). As the ensuing investigation showed, the records were obtained from Denis Robert under false pretenses by a Clearstream "insider" who had claimed he could help him with his investigation, but really worked for a French intelligence agency. The investigation also shows the documents were falsified and Nicolas Sarkozy was cleared. In a later development, Dominique de Villepin is now under scrutiny for having allegedly ordered an investigation of Nicolas Sarkozy by French intelligence in order to discredit him and eliminate a political opponent. Some even claim that the falsification of the Clearstream records and the anonymous letters were engineered by Matignon (office of the Prime Minister). On the other hand, it was demonstrated that Sarkozy himself had knew long before he publicly admitted it that he was on the list of alleged holders of illegal Clearstream accounts, but pretended to not be in the known in order to make himself appear as a victim.

Interested readers can see the justification of the tag and subsequent removal. V. Joe 20:41, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

partial and incorrect information
The article is totally partial, presenting only the trials lost by Denis Robert, even when these have been reversed by appeal courts. Denis Robert has in fact won nearly all of the trials. The French page looks way more accurate, relating which trials are won, which are still in appeal, which are lost. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 10:36, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

École nationale supérieure d'ingénieurs des systèmes avancés et réseaux

The École Nationale Supérieure d'Ingénieurs des Systèmes Avancés et Réseaux (Esisar) is an engineering school of the Grenoble Institute of Technology.

Higher Institute of Engineering in Advanced Systems and Networks
Grenoble Institute of Technology (Grenoble Institute of Technology) INPG has nine schools, of which Esisar is the most recent. Each year it confers 1000 degrees in engineering, 300 Master's degrees as well as 200 PhD theses. It has 31 research laboratories which are associated with the CNRS (the French National Scientific Research Centre).

Esisar opened in 1995, in a response to business demands. It educates engineers who are seeking master the challenge of putting advanced systems into operation, in the fields of electronics, automation and industrial information technology. Advanced Systems allow more rapid creation of new products (analysis & design), manufacturing at a lower cost while ensuring good quality (by regulation and a constant supervision of the processes), also working on `smart' items and innovative functions.

Esisar was founded in collaboration with Grenoble University of Technology (INPG), the leading French centre for the training of engineers, and of the CCI for the Drôme region.

The teaching method in Esisar combines classic teachings of an engineering school with a practical approach to address the realities of the industrial world. It is the only school that offers fourth year students the opportunity to complete an industrial project, carried out for a client company which defines the content. The INPG/ESISAR engineering diploma was entitled and certified by the National Commission in November 1994.

First and second years
During their first two years, students study electronics, automation and computer science. In addition, early apprenticeship of industrial skills (accountancy, marketing, project management, etc.) is provided, which continues for five years. Mathematics and physics are taught from the first to the fourth year.

Third year
Esisar proposes a multi-disciplinary apprenticeship. Electronics, automation, industrial computing and all industrial equipment are taught this year. For the students who join the school in the third year, their cycle starts off with six weeks of class on technical disciplines, while the students who joined in the first year are on technical training.

Fourth year
In fourth year, all student-engineers may participate in a six-month industrial project organised in teams of three and supported by a study supervisor. This project, commissioned by a client company, is based on a feasibility study, a model or a prototype. It contributes to the creation of a product or a new function, with industrial stakes which are also imposed on the student-engineers. Some projects have led to real successful products.

Fifth year
After following a common programme, the student engineers choose between two "in depth" modules. The ISE module - embedded computer science, is oriented towards software aspects of advanced systems. The ISD module - command and integration of the systems and devices, is oriented towards the material aspects. Conferences led by industrialists and researchers allow students to benefit from high level coaching on the "state of the art" in their future field of activity. The year ends with a six-month industrial project.

Underground hip hop?
How can this group be called underground hip hop? They are NOT underground. They got popular with their debut album and the song "Slam" was extremely popular. They aren't underground at all. The rapper Necro is an example of underground hip hop. Anyways, underground hip hop has NO sources, so we should remove it. Statik N (talk) 19:59, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

 * I don't know how else to get through to you. A single genre is not an all-or-nothing permanent description of an artist or group. They can grow and expand and change. They were unsigned for years, you think that doesn't make them underground when they were performing for like 15 people in empty venues? Look at someone like Everlast (musician), who has unambiguously performed in multiple different genres, sometimes on the same album. Would you say he was never a rapper because "What it's like" was a really popular song? Or would you say he never sang blues because "Jump Around" isn't a blues song? That's ridiculous. Even better, look at Lauryn Hill; she has even more disparate genres. There's thousands of examples of this. I didn't respond initially because I was looking for guidance at the music WikiProject or the MOS for infoboxes, but it's not codified anywhere that more than one genre can exist per artist because it's probably such obvious common sense. JesseRafe (talk) 13:37, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Three 6 Mafia were underground one time and then became really popular. Does that mean they should be labeled as underground hip hop? If your debut album was popular and your early singles were popular, then you aren't underground. Underground hip hop is unsourced. No sources=no being put in the genre field. Calling Onyx underground hip hop is EXTREMELY misleading. And again, no sources=no being put in the genre field, and underground hip hop is unsourced. Statik N (talk) 19:07, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Other stuff exists is not the point, if Three 6 Mafia were underground hip hop then add it there, what's your point? You make no sense. Onyx formed in 1988 and didn't chart until 1993. Were they hugely successful all that time prior? Obviously not. You haven't addressed any of my points and are intent on doing nothing but repeating yourself, a clear case of WP:ICANTHEARYOU. Genres, especially in infoboxes, are almost never sourced as that is both silly and distracting. Please await consensus to make the change that you want, or find a more productive way to contribute to the encyclopedia without edit-warring. JesseRafe (talk) 19:45, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

 * If the music group had mainstream success then they are not underground. Underground hip hop is unsourced anyways. Onyx were very popular when their first album came out. Do not add underground hip hop to the genre field unless you have at least one citation for it. The article calling Onyx "underground hip hop" and then saying they had mainstream success is extremely self-contradicting. It will confuse readers. Statik N (talk) 22:46, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

As long as this discussion is happening on Wikipedia, you both need to refocus your arguments to be in the terms of sourcing. Are there reliable, third party sources that directly label them as "underground hip hop" or not? Sergecross73  msg me  21:54, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

Lone Star (Amtrak train)

The Lone Star was an Amtrak passenger train that ran between Chicago and Houston, or Dallas via Kansas City, Wichita, Oklahoma City, and Fort Worth. The train was renamed from the Texas Chief, which the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway had introduced in 1948. Amtrak discontinued the Lone Star in 1979.

History
The Santa Fe introduced the Texas Chief on April 3, 1948, between Chicago and Galveston, Texas via Kansas City, Wichita, Oklahoma City, Fort Worth, and Houston. It was truncated to Houston in early 1967.

From 1955 until 1968, a section would cut off at Gainesville, Texas to serve Denton, Texas and Dallas.

Santa Fe conveyed the Texas Chief to Amtrak at the latter's inception in 1971. Amtrak changed the train's name from Texas Chief to Lone Star on May 19, 1974, after the Santa Fe determined that Amtrak's trains no longer met its service standards and demanded that Amtrak stop using the "Chief" name.

The train was popular with students of the many colleges and universities along its route, such as the University of Kansas, University of Missouri-Kansas City, Wichita State University and the University of Oklahoma. It provided economical transportation to and from school. In the fiscal year 1976, the train carried 274,448 passengers.

Amtrak considered, but rejected, a Dallas through routing because of concerns over the Dallas station, choosing to instead add a Fort Worth–Dallas section on July 1, 1975. The Dallas through cars were temporarily discontinued between October 1976 and February 15, 1977, during which time the Lone Star was combined with the Chicago–Los Angeles Southwest Limited (itself the successor of another Santa Fe mainstay, the Super Chief) between Chicago and Kansas City.

Due to cuts by Congress as part of the Amtrak Reorganization Act of 1979 – pressed by the US Department of Transportation under the Carter administration – the Lone Star was discontinued on October 8, 1979, leaving Oklahoma without passenger train service until 1999. Chicago–Houston service was retained by adding a Houston section to the Chicago–Laredo Inter-American, which split at Temple. At the time of its discontinuance, the Lone Star was Amtrak's seventh most popular long-distance train. The Houston section remained until 1981, when the Inter-American itself was cut back to San Antonio and renamed the Eagle.

Current service along former route
Of the original Texas Chief/Lone Star route, only the Newton, Kansas–Wichita-Oklahoma City and Temple–Houston-Galveston segments remain without passenger train service. Chicago–Newton is served by Amtrak's Southwest Chief (itself the successor of another Santa Fe mainstay, the Super Chief), while Oklahoma City–Fort Worth is served by Amtrak's Heartland Flyer. While the Newton–Wichita–Oklahoma City portion does not have passenger train service, it has been served by Amtrak Thruway since April 2016 and a revival of Amtrak service is proposed. In June 2021, Amtrak released a plan that would add two more round trips between Oklahoma City and Fort Worth while extending the original round trip to Newton.

Chicago–Dallas service is provided by Amtrak's Texas Eagle via a different route than the Lone Star.

Potential restoration
In June 2021, Senator Jon Tester (D-Montana) added an amendment to the Surface Transportation Investment Act of 2021 which requires the Department of Transportation (not Amtrak itself) to evaluate the restoration of discontinued long-distance routes, such as the Lone Star. The bill passed the Senate Commerce Committee with bipartisan support, and was later rolled into President Biden's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which was passed into law in November 2021. The report must be delivered to Congress within two years. The law also provides $2.4 billion in new funds to Amtrak's long-distance route network.

On October 28, 2022, the Amtrak Daily Long-Distance Service Study was announced by the Federal Railroad Administration. Its purpose is to evaluate the restoration and addition of discontinued and new long-distance passenger services, as well as the upgrading of tri-weekly long-distance services (the Sunset Limited and the Cardinal) to daily operation. The criteria for either restoring or creating new long-distance routes are that they connect large and small communities as part of a "regional rail network", provide economic and social well-being for rural areas, provide "enhanced connectivity" for the existing long-distance passenger trains, and reflect the support and engagement of the locals and region for restored long-distance passenger service. These criteria include the Lone Star, among other trains. The study will take place through 2023, and will engage with stakeholders, the rail companies, and communities as it "evaluates how to better connect people with long-distance rail services".

In June 2023, Oklahoma and Kansas state officials began seeking federal approval and funding to extend the Heartland Flyer from Oklahoma City to Newton. In November 2023, KDOT said the service would start in 2029 if approved, but could begin sooner were the project to be fast tracked.

Equipment
During 1976–1977 when the Lone Star combined with the Southwest Chief between Chicago and Kansas City, the Lone Star consisted of two baggage cars, two Hi-Level coaches, a dormitory bar-lounge, an ex-Santa Fe dining car, two 10-roomette/6-bedroom Pine-series sleeping cars, and a 48-seat single-level coach. One baggage car, one sleeping car, and the single-level coach operated through to Dallas.

Lisp Programming

Lisp is a programming language. It is named after the collapsed phrase List Processing.

If you have programmed before and would like to see a little bit of how Lisp works and is different from other programming languages, you can get an overview.

Dialects
Because Lisp itself is, technically, just seven operators, to become a useful language, much more needs to be implemented atop it. Common Lisp and Scheme are two such designs to create a useful programming language.

Common Lisp is an ANSI standard, and features an extensive array of library functions. It is the more widely used of the two.

Scheme is designed in a minimalistic fashion, with a very small amount of built in functions. This is probably true, but Scheme lacks many of the time-saving built-in functions of Common Lisp.

Emacs Lisp is an implementation of Lisp in Emacs.

newLISP is a Lisp-like, general-purpose scripting language

=Thesis Essay=

I've always been interested in music, and learning about different musical instruments. When I was a kid I played clarinet in the school band, and the clarinet has been around for a long time, longer than the saxophone for instance. But clarinets aren't as old as drums. There are some drums that have been around for longer than we even have written history. Maybe the drum was the first musical instrument. But I was never particularly interested in drumming. I don't have a good sense of rhythm. Other kinds of instruments have also interested me, and eventually I found out that instruments are grouped in families, like there is the string family, which is instruments that have strings that are bowed or plucked. One example is the violin. There have been many famous violin players, and also the violin has spread all around the world. I didn't play violin when I was in school, though, because I played clarinet.

Clarinet is a reed instrument, which is an instrument that has a reed you blow through to make the sound. Instead of a string vibrating, the reed vibrates. Which is different from percussion, where you hit the instrument, like how you hit a drum with a stick. One funny example is the piano, which is a fairly new instrument, going back only to the 1900s. You'd think it was a string instrument, because it has strings in it, but it's a percussion instrument because the strings are hit with little hammers. Also, xylophones are percussion instruments.

One of the weirdest instruments I know of is called the "glass harmonica." It was invented by George Washington. It's a bunch of glasses that make a singing sound. I don't know what ochestra family that would fit under. You don't strike it, you don't play it with a bow, and there's no reeds. I think there's one more family of instruments, too. There are four, and we have talked about three in this essay.

https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demir_Demirkan

We want to change the part of his bio on your page about his Partner.

He used to date Sertab Erener for 18 years but they broke up last year.

Obviously he doesn't want to be mentioned as her partner anymore.

This comes up when you type his name on google and search.

The wikipedia info comes up on the right hand side.

We tried to edit this info but couldn't manage.

Could you guys please help to remove the Partner Sertab Erener statement from his bio.

Many thanks

Suggested edit, adding this quote to page, it clearly defines the difference between him and his Haredi predecessors in the Ministry of Religious Services.

"Addressing the bitter attack issued by haredi MKs against Bennett – when United Torah Judaism MK Ya’acov Litzman said, “He should take off his kippah; he is shaming it” – and the new government last week, Kahana slammed the haredi detractors.

“I ask those MKs, have you ever prayed the Amidah prayer during an [military] ambush, soaked in rain, trembling with cold?” he asked. “Were you strict about ritually washing your hands when you don’t have a sink and vessel next [to] the dining room as in a yeshiva? “Have you worn tzitzit in training exercises when it is the least comfortable thing in the world? Have you prayed to God before going into battle? “Who are you to teach us about fearing Heaven? Who are you to lecture us about sanctifying God’s name? You should be ashamed.

The Canadian Association of University Teachers of German (CAUTG) is a professional, not-for-profit learned society promoting German Studies in Canada. The association was founded by professors from twelve Canadian Universities in 1962. Since then, the CAUTG has enabled faculty, graduate students, and supporters to advance German Studies in higher education. For example, since 1973 the CAUTG has administered the Canadian Summer School in Germany, which enables Canadian undergraduates to travel to Kassel to improve their German. The association also helped run the now-defunct Werkstudentenprogramm (Work-Student Program), which allowed Canadian students to spend their summers working in Germany. The CAUTG hosts an annual conference as part of the Congress of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences, where speakers present research related to German language, literature, culture, and pedagogy. The association also publishes Seminar: A Journal of Germanic Studies through the University of Toronto Press. In 2012, the CAUTG recommended that German departments at Canadian universities update their programs to comply with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Seminar:
Founded in 1965, Seminar publishes scholarship related to German-language material or German-cultural material, and is supported by the CAUTG in conjunction with the German Section of the Australasian Universities Language and Literature Association (AULLA). Seminar has appeared quarterly since 1974, and since the early 2000s has featured special theme issues that often alternate with general issues.

Medieval English wool trade

The medieval English wool trade was one of the most important factors in the medieval English economy. The medievalist John Munro notes that "[n]o form of manufacturing had a greater impact upon the economy and society of medieval Britain than did those industries producing cloths from various kinds of wool." The trade's liveliest period, 1250–1350, was 'an era when trade in wool had been the backbone and driving force in the English medieval economy'.

The wool trade was a major driver of enclosure (the privatisation of common land) in English agriculture, which in turn had major social consequences, as part of the British Agricultural Revolution.

Among the lasting monuments to the success of the trade are the 'wool churches' of East Anglia and the Cotswolds; the London Worshipful Company of Clothworkers; and the fact that since the fourteenth century, the presiding officer of the House of Lords has sat on the Woolsack, a chair stuffed with wool.

Early Middle Ages
During the early Anglo-Saxon period (c. 450–650), archaeological evidence for subsistence-level wool production using warp-weighted looms is extensive. Tools and technologies of spinning and weaving were similar to those of the Roman period; it is likely that fine, white wool continued to be produced from sheep introduced from the Mediterranean region alongside coarser local wools. Dyes included woad for blue and less frequently madder and lichens for reds and purples. Some high-status woollen cloth is found, including gold brocade. New textile types appeared around the tenth century, prominently including diamond twills whose use continued into the thirteenth century. There is little evidence for long-distance trade, but there seems to have been some, presumably of especially rare wools or cloths: the silence of the sources is punctuated by a famous mention of the slipping standards of English cloaks exported to Francia in a letter from Charlemagne to Offa of Mercia. By the eleventh century, however, sheep were numerous in England, and at least some export of their wool by low German merchants was taking place; Peter Sawyer argued that wool was already a major source of wealth and an important export commodity in England at this time.

Later Middle Ages
Subsistence-level production of wool continued, but was overshadowed by the rise of wool as a commodity, which in turn encouraged demand for other raw materials such as dyestuffs; the rise of manufacturing; the financial sector; urbanisation; and (since wool and related raw materials had a high value-to-weight ratio and were easily transported) regional, international, and even intercontinental trade.

English wools, particularly from the Welsh Marches, the South West and Lincolnshire, were the most prized in medieval Europe. It was exported to the emergent urban centres of cloth production of the Low Countries, France, and Italy, where production was promoted by the adoption of the pedal-driven horizontal loom and spinning wheel, along with mechanised fulling and napping.

The English imported more foreign cloth at the start of the 14th century than they exported wool cloth. In the 1330s, imports of foreign cloth collapsed and by the 1340s, imports of foreign cloth had almost disappeared. The onset of war led the English to protect their home industry and impose hindrances on imports of foreign cloth. According to one 1950 study, "war-time needs, war-time diplomatic policy, and war-time fiscal policy, had together given an immense impetus to the development of England's woollen industry" in the 14th century.

In 1280 about 25,000 sacks of wool were exported from England; trade in raw wool peaked around 40,000–45,000 sacks per year, falling to 33,000 in 1355 and 9,706 in 1476 as exports changed to finished cloth. As exports of raw wool fell, exports of cloths rose, from 10,000 cloths per year in 1349–50 to 60,000 in 1446–47, and c. 140,000 in 1539–40. 'By the end of the thirteenth century, the heavily industrialised areas of Europe could not have existed without the export of English wool.'

English wool production declined by a third from the early fourteenth to the mid-fifteenth century.

England's wool-trade was volatile, however, affected by diverse factors such as war, taxation policy, export/import duties or even bans, disease and famine, and the degree of competition among European merchants for English wool. For example, since Continental industry relied on English wool, and export embargoes could 'bring whole areas to the brink of starvation and economic ruin', the wool trade was a powerful political tool. Likewise, taxes on the wool trade financed Edward I's wars and enabled England to conduct the Hundred Years' War with better resources than France. These instabilities led to a boom-bust cycle in prices and exports.

In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the English wool trade was primarily with Flanders (where wool was made into cloth, primarily for sale via the Champagne fairs into the Mediterranean basin), and was dominated by Flemish merchants. But in 1264, the strife in England of the Second Barons' War brought Anglo-Flemish trade almost to a halt and by 1275, when Edward I of England negotiated an agreement with the domestic merchant community (and secured a permanent duty on wool), Italian merchants had begun to gain dominance in the trade. Extending their activities to finance, the Riccardi, a group of bankers from Lucca in Italy, became particularly prominent in English taxation and finance. Among the most famous merchants participating in the English wool trade were Jean Boinebroke of Douai (d. 1286) on the Continental side, and William de la Pole (d. 1366) on the English. During the 14th and 15th century, English merchants brought woollen cloth and other goods to Iceland, trading it mainly for dried fish, but also for Icelandic vaðmál (coarse wool fabric).

Guild organisations seem to have emerged in the textile industry in England in the 12th century. This was earlier than elsewhere in Europe.

Early Modern period
By the sixteenth century, the quality of English wools was in decline, perhaps partly due to a switch in focus to meat production for domestic urban markets, and European supremacy in the production of fine-wool passed to the Iberian peninsula and its merino sheep.

Key statistics
The table charts English woolsack and broadcloth exports, in five-year means, 1281–1545.

Uncharacterized protein C9orf84 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the C9orf84 gene. Uncharacterized protein C9orf84 is also known as C9orf84. C9orf84 is currently poorly understood by the scientific community.

Gene
The chromosomal locus of C9orf84 is 9q31.3. It is located on the negative strand, and it contains 34 exons in humans. There are no aliases for C9orf84.

Homology/Evolution
C9orf84 is the only gene in the human genome with its particular sequence. This gene is found in all vertebrates, including chimpanzees, cows, dogs, mice, rats, and frogs, and some invertebrates. The most distant ortholog detectable by NCBI BLAST is in Nematostella vectensis (starlet sea anemone) .The closest plant ortholog to C9orf84 is the SHOC1 protein in Arabidopsis thaliana. C9orf84 is not very well conserved even among mammals, with sequence identity scored reaching only 60% in less related mammals.

Protein
C9orf84 in humans has 17 isoforms .The primarily used sequence is C9orf84 Isoform 1. This isoform is 1444 aa long, has a predicted molecular weight of 165.190 kDa, and a predicted pI of 5.10.

C9orf84 undergoes several post-translational modifications, including glycosylation and o-linked glycosylation, phosphorylation, and it contains leucine-rich nuclear export signals. The secondary structure of this protein is predicted to be mainly alpha-helices in roughly the first two thirds of the protein, and coils in the last third. It is predicted that this protein is localized in the nucleus.

Expression
C9orf84 is ubiquitously expressed in all most tissues with higher than average expression in the testes, the kidney, the thymus, and the adrenal gland. The promoter for C9orf84 in humans is 639 bp long and overlaps with the 5’ untranslated region of the gene. There are four alternate promoters that promote different transcript variants.

Interactions
Several of the most common and most conserved transcription factor binding sites families that are predicted to be found in C9orf84’s promoter region are ETS1 factors, Ccaat/Enhancer Binding Proteins, and Lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1. ETS1, Ccaat-enhancer-binding proteins, and Lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 are all related to immunity.

C9orf84 has been experimentally determined, through a two hybrid pooling approach, to interact with methionine aminopeptidase, a protein encoded by the maP3 gene in Bacillus anthracis.

Clinical Significance
C9orf84 is highly upregulated in psoriasis patients with lesional skin as opposed to psoriasis patients with non-lesional skin and non-psoriasis patients.

Talk:David Warner (actor)

Early Career Decision
Would it be appropriate to mention the basis of David Warner's early career decision to be an actor? It seems that he had a chance conversation on a train with the actor Charles Kay (RSC Associate Artiste, QV) who suggested that he try for a place at RADA, for which he was accepted.Miletus (talk) 09:54, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I have a black and white photograph of David Warner in full costume as Shakespeare's King Henry VI, taken by me in 1964 at the RSC. He is sitting in the Greenroom (canteen) having a cup of tea and a cigarette. The costume and makeup represent Henry VI having spent many years as a mental patient and he does not look good. I'm a bit hesitant about uploading it, because of this, what do you other wikipedians think?Miletus (talk) 10:11, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Neglected To Mention......Or, Did You Just Not Know?
Actor David Warner has, as we all know (or at least most of us anyways), done numerous voice work in animated television shows. What has not been mentioned is that he has also appeared in a few episodes of Disney's Gargoyles as the character known as "The Archmage" who primarily appeared in the 3 part story arc "Avalon" as the primary antagonist. Here's the proof of that information:

http://www.tv.com/shows/gargoyles/avalon-part-three-48337/cast/

He's also done a few episodes of Spider-Man: The Animated Series as a character known as Dr. Herbert Landon. If you need further proof of that, as well as other shows he has done, then I have provided the links to both his TV.com page as well as his IMDB.com TV filmography page below.

As I have stated on previous wiki-talk pages in the past, I would make these additions myself, but I severely lack the skills in editing pages on Wikipedia when it comes to including links and signatures. I've tried many times to improve or perfect these skills, but I can never get them right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aidensdaddy2k9 (talk • contribs) 19:02, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Since it seems that not many people pay attention to this page, I went ahead and added the information myself, complete with the proper links to the other articles. I am finally getting the hang of this. Aidensdaddy2k9 (talk) 02:15, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Baldurs Gate 2
On the BG2 article, I'm getting push-back that Warner voiced Jon Irenicus in Baldur's Gate II. This isn't even something that I thought would be controversial, but admittedly, there's no citations WRT to Warners voice acting that I can find. Warner is credited in the game itself and in the print manual, but I can't find any way to make a proper reference to this. This seems to be an extreme level of Wikipedia silliness. He's an iconic voice that should be immediately obvious in the same vane as James Earl Jones, John Rhys-Davies or Sean Connery.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:39, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Years Active
Suggest years active be amended to 2020. It appears David's last acting roles were in 2020 (voice only in Teen Titans Go/and for an audio drama of Doctor Who). 2607:FEA8:5CA1:8F40:D18A:8304:DD55:F5BD (talk) 22:51, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

 * It looks like he's recorded more audio work for the 60th anniversary Doctor Who special which is yet to be released, so I would hold off on that. Don't know much about it like when it was recorded, but it was announced by his co-star, Christopher Eccleston: . Jerodast (talk) 08:01, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

 * A few other tidbits of news seem to state the audio series will be called "Once and Future" and released from May to October this year.Jerodast (talk) 05:21, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Looks like someone has already added that, derp. In any case I guess regarding the "years active" question, it's fair to just say 2022 since his work was obviously recorded by then, unless there are guidelines that it should be based on year released rather than year produced.Jerodast (talk) 05:26, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Table formatting
@Jerodast Hey, could you correct the formatting on the filmography table. I am a bit rusty on wiki tables. I realized that SOS Titanic need to be deleted as it was a TV movie, listed elsewhere, but keep screwing up the formatting.--Bellerophon5685 (talk) 19:58, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Computer Architecture Lab/FPGA Hello World Example

When one starts to use a new language or environment the first program written is usually the famous 'Hello World' example. What is the 'Hello World' program in hardware, in an FPGA? The smallest project that produces dynamic output is a blinking LED. We will show the steps for a blinking LED example using Altera/Intel's Quartus and an FPGA board.

Design Flow
All your design files (VHDL and/or Verilog files) make up a project in Quartus. A Quartus II project is defined in Quartus II with just three files: projectname.qpf, projectname.qsf , and projectname.cdf (Close your Quartus II project before editing the files).

Create a New Project
Start Quartus II and create a new project with:

 * 1) File -- New Project Wizard...
 * 2) Select a project directory and select a project name. The project name is usually the name of the top-level design entity. In our case hello_world (make sure to name the project this exactly, or you will have compilation problems).
 * 3) In the next dialog box the VHDL source files can be added to the project. As we have no VHDL files at the moment we will skip this step
 * 4) We have to select the target device. Choose the right family and device depending on your board.
 * 5) We leave the EDA tools settings blank
 * 6) Press Finish at the summary window

Device and Pin Options
At the default setting the unused pins drive ground. As the default settings in Quartus II for a device are dangerous we specify more details for our target device:

 * 1) Assignments -- Device to open the device properties
 * 2) Press the button Device & Pin Options...
 * 3) Important! At the tab Unused Pins select As input tri-stated.
 * 4) The LVCMOS, selected in tab Voltage, is the better IO standard to interface e.g. SRAM devices
 * 5) Close the dialog box and the next with OK

Hello World in Chisel
To get started with Chisel there is a Hello World example in Chisel available at: Chisel Hello World

The following code shows the Hello World hardware in Chisel.

import Chisel._

/** * The blinking LED component. */

class Hello extends Module { val io = new Bundle { val led = UInt(OUTPUT, 1) } val CNT_MAX = UInt(50000000 / 2 - 1);

val cntReg = Reg(init = UInt(0, 32)) val blkReg = Reg(init = UInt(0, 1))

cntReg := cntReg + UInt(1) when(cntReg === CNT_MAX) { cntReg := UInt(0) blkReg := ~blkReg } io.led := blkReg }

/** * An object containing a main to invoke chiselMain * to generate the Verilog code. */ object Hello { def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = { chiselMain(Array("--backend", "v"), => Module(new Hello)) } }

Compile and generate the Verilog hardware description with a simple

make

For FPGA synthesize you can either use your project you setup before or the Quartus project that is part of the Chisel hello world repository.

The Hello World VHDL Example
Add a VHDL file to the project with File -- New... and select VHDL File. Enter the following code and save the file with filename hello_world.

--   --  hello_world.vhd --   --  The 'Hello World' example for FPGA programming. --   --  Author: Martin Schoeberl<EMAIL_ADDRESS>--   --  2006-08-04  created --

library ieee; use ieee.std_logic_1164.all; use ieee.numeric_std.all;

entity hello_world is

port (       clk     : in std_logic;        led     : out std_logic    ); end hello_world;

architecture rtl of hello_world is

constant CLK_FREQ : integer := 20000000; constant BLINK_FREQ : integer := 1; constant CNT_MAX : integer := CLK_FREQ/BLINK_FREQ/2-1;

signal cnt     : unsigned(24 downto 0); signal blink   : std_logic;

begin

process(clk) begin

if rising_edge(clk) then if cnt=CNT_MAX then cnt <= (others => '0'); blink <= not blink; else cnt <= cnt + 1; end if; end if;

end process;

led <= blink;

end rtl;

The not yet famous VHDL 'Hello World' example

Compiling and Pin Assignment
The analysis, synthesize, map, and place & route processes are all started with Processing -- Start Compilation. The compiler did not know that our PCB is already done, so the compiler assigned any pin numbers for the inputs and outputs.

If Full Compilation fails you may try to manually correct the toplevel entity.

However, the pin numbers are fixed for the board. We have to assign the pin numbers for our two ports clk and led. Open the pin assignment window with Assignments -- Pins. Our two ports are already listed in the All Pins window. Double click the field under Location and select the pin number. Enter following assignments:

clk look up in board docu led look up in board docu

With the correct pin assignment restart the compilation with Processing -- Start Compilation (or use the play button) and check the correct assignment in the compilation report under Fitter -- Pin-Out-File. The clk pin should be located at nn and led at mm; all unused pins should be listed as RESERVED_INPUT.

FPGA Configuration
Downloading your hardware project into the FPGA is called configuration. There are several ways an FPGA can be configured. Here we describe configuration via JTAG.

UsbBlaster
This section describes configuration via UsbBlaster connected to the printer port.

 * 1) Connect your UsbBlaster to the PC and FPGA board
 * 2) Start the programmer with Tools -- Programmer
 * 3) Press the button Auto Detect and the programmer window should list the correct device.
 * 4) Double click for the filename of the FPGA device and select hello_world.sof.
 * 5) Select the checkbox under Program/Configure for the FPGA and press the Start button to configure the FPGA

The LED should now blink!

Further Experiments
Play with the code and do following changes:

 * Change the blinking frequency.
 * Have the on shorter than the off time of the LED.

Tips

 * The Chisel or VHDL source files and the project files do not have to be in the same directory. Keeping them in separate directories is a better organization and simplifies reuse
 * Use relative paths wherever possible to enable project sharing
 * In general choose the entity name as filename. However, with different files (and names) for different versions of an entity a project can be easily configured just with different Quartus II projects

Quartus File Types
The most important file types used by Quartus:

 * .qpf: Quartus II Project File. Contains almost no information.
 * .qsf: Quartus II Settings File defines the project. VHDL files that make up your project are listed. Constraints such as pin assignments and timing constraints set here.
 * .cdf: Chain Description File. This file stores device name, device order, and programming file name information for the programmer.
 * .tcl: Tool Command Language. Can be used in Quartus to automate parts of the design flow (e.g. pin assignment).
 * .sof: SRAM Output File. Configuration for Altera devices. Used by the Quartus programmer or by quartus_pgm . Can be converted to various (or too many) different format. Some are listed below.

Advanced Classical Mechanics/Energy and Angular Momentum

Let's start with some basic definitions. First m is the inertial mass of a particle -- we will consider only particles with constant masses (although the physics of rockets provides an important counter-example). A particle for us is something that can be described completely by its position $$\vec{r}$$ and mass (it doesn't have any important internal degrees of freedom).

Momentum and Force
We can define the velocity and momentum of the particle,

$$ \vec{v} = \frac{d \vec {r}}{dt} $$ and $$ \vec{p} = m \vec{v} $$.

Because the acceleration is the rate of change of velocity we have

$$ \vec{F} = m \vec{a} = m \frac{d \vec{v}}{dt} = \frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}, $$

so if the force vanishes, then the momentum is constant in time or conserved.

Angular Momentum and Torque
Let's also define the angular momentum and the torque,

$$ \vec{L} = \vec{r} \times \vec{p} $$ and $$ \vec{N} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F} = \vec{r} \times \frac{d \vec{p}}{d t}. $$

Let's calculate the rate of change of the angular momentum

$$ \frac{d}{dt} \vec{L} = \frac{d \vec{r}}{dt} \times \vec{p} + \vec{r} \times \frac{d \vec{p}}{dt } = \vec{N} $$

so if the torque vanishes, the angular momentum is conserved. Specifically if the force is always directed along the position vector, $$\vec r$$, the torque vanishes and the angular momentum is conserved. This is called a central force.

Work and Energy
We can define the work done on a particle while moving it from position #1 to position #2 to be

$$ W_{12} = \int_1^2 \vec{F} \cdot d \vec{s}. $$

Again let's assume that the mass of the particle is constant so

$$ W_{12} = \int_1^2 \vec{F} \cdot d \vec{s} = m \int_1^2 \frac{d \vec{v}}{dt} \cdot \vec{v} d t = \frac{m}{2} \int_1^2 \frac{d}{dt} \left ( v^2 \right ) dt = \frac{m}{2} \left ( v_2^2 - v_1^2 \right ) = T_2 - T_1 $$

where we have defined the kinetic energy,

$$T=\frac{1}{2} m v^2$$.

If the integral $$W_{12}$$ depends only on the locations of the points 1 and 2 and not the path, then the force or system is conservative. In particular,

$$ \oint \vec{F} \cdot d \vec{s} = 0 $$ for such a system.

This means that the force is the gradient of some other function

$$ \vec{F} = -\vec{\nabla} V(r) $$

call the potential energy $$V$$. In this case we find that

$$ W_{12} = V_1 - V_2 = T_2 - T_1 $$

so

$$ T_1 + V_1 = T_2 + V_2 $$

This is called the conservation of mechanical energy.

Someone who knows, please rearrange this from alphabetical order into a logical order for learning, such as from simplest to most complex.

I think having an alphabetic order for this appendix is OK since it would be used more likely for quick look-ups (learning the tenses from simple to complex should be done with the lessons structure).

I'm going to add all the forms of the typical 1st, 2nd and 3rd conjugation verbs in Spanish: amar, temer and partir. There should also be a page for the irregular verbs. Sabbut 10:20, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Abd Allah ibn Muti

ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muṭīʿ al-ʿAdawī (died 692) was a leading Qurayshi of Medina and governor of Kufa for the anti-Umayyad caliph Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr from April 685 until his ouster by the pro-Alid leader al-Mukhtar al-Thaqafi in August 685. He was a military commander against the Umayyads at the battle of al-Harra and the siege of Mecca in 683. He fought alongside Ibn al-Zubayr in the second siege of Mecca in 692, where he was slain by Umayyad forces.

Origins and family
Abd Allah ibn Muti was born during the lifetime of the Islamic prophet Muhammad (d. 632). He was the son of Muti ibn al-Aswad; they belonged to the Banu Adi clan of the Quraysh tribe of Mecca. His mother was Umm Hisham bint Abi'l Khiyar Abd Yalil ibn Abd Manaf.

Ibn Muti resided in Medina, the political centre of the Caliphate. He owned shared residential property in the city with a companion of Muhammad and poet Zayd ibn Thabit. The two entered into a legal dispute over the property which was arbitrated by Marwan ibn al-Hakam, the governor of the city in 661–668. Ibn Muti also owned property and a well (called the Well of Ibn Muti) which was located between al-Abwa and al-Suqya.

Ibn Muti had seven sons and four daughters from different wives and slave women: with his wife Rayta bint Abd Allah he had his sons, Ishaq and Ya'qub; with his wife Umm Abd al-Malik bint Abd Allah ibn Khalid he had his sons, Muhammad and Imran; with his wife Umm Hakim bint Abd Allah he had a daughter, Fatima, and with his fourth wife Bint Kharash ibn Umayya he had two daughters, Umm Salama and Umm Hisham. With his two slave women he had his sons, Ibrahim, Isma'il and Zakariyya and a daughter, Burayha. His grandson Abd al-Aziz ibn Ibrahim participated in the rebellion of Muhammad al-Nafs al-Zakiyya in 762/763 and was arrested, given lashes and released by the Abbasid caliph al-Mansur.

Military career
In 664 or 665, he was dispatched by Caliph Mu'awiya I at the head of 4,000 soldiers from Medina to reinforce the Arab garrison in Alexandria after the garrison commander of the city complained his troops were numerically insufficient to control its oft-rebellious Greek Christian inhabitants. In 680, he issued a warning to Husayn ibn Ali, the surviving grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and son of Caliph Ali ((r. 656 – 661)), not to leave Mecca for Kufa where sympathizers of his father called for him to claim the caliphate from the ruling Umayyad dynasty. He advised him to take up safe haven in the Ka'aba of Mecca where he could rally supporters from the Quraysh against Caliph Yazid ((r. 680 – 683)). After a short stay in Mecca, Husayn ultimately headed for Kufa and once again encountered Ibn Muti at a watering place along the desert route, where Ibn Muti pleaded with him that he not confront the Umayyads. Husayn ignored his advice and was slain by Umayyad forces at the Battle of Karbala on the outskirts of Kufa. Ibn Muti had attempted to depart Medina as well, but was persuaded by his distant relative Abd Allah ibn Umar to remain in the city and not rebel against the caliph.

When Yazid sent his envoy Nu'man ibn Bashir al-Ansari to warn the inhabitants of Medina in 682 not to rebel against the caliph's rule, Ibn Muti derided him. The people of Medina rose in revolt and Yazid dispatched his Syrian troops led by Muslim ibn Uqba to subdue the city. The Medinese were organized along factional lines and Ibn Muti was made commander of the Quraysh contingent. After the Syrians bested the Medinese, Ibn Muti and many of his Qurayshite fighters fled for Mecca where they were given safe haven by the Qurayshite leader Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr. He later became one of the main commanders of Mecca's defence during the abortive Umayyad siege of the city in 683.

Governorship of Kufa
After Yazid's death, Ibn al-Zubayr gained recognition as caliph in most of the provinces of the Caliphate except parts of Syria. He appointed Ibn Muti as governor of Kufa and its dependencies in April 685, replacing Abd Allah ibn Yazid al-Khath'ami. Upon hearing from his advisers news of Ibn Muti's appointment, the Syria-based Umayyad caliph Abd al-Malik called him "a brave man who has fallen many a time, and a valiant one, how he hates fleeing". Ibn Muti appointed Iyas ibn Mudarib al-Ijli as the head of his shurṭa with orders to severely punish seditious activities in the city. After Iyas raised suspicions of rebellion by the pro-Alid noble al-Mukhtar al-Thaqafi (who fought alongside Ibn Muti against the Umayyads in Mecca), Ibn Muti attempted to summon al-Mukhtar. But al-Mukhtar delayed his appearance before the governor and secretly organized a coup against him by his Kufan partisans.

The Kufan Arab nobility largely supported Ibn Muti, but al-Mukhtar's forces were strengthened with the recruitment of the Kufan grandee Ibrahim ibn al-Ashtar. Ibn al-Ashtar was instrumental in the fighting which ultimately forced Ibn Muti to withdraw from the city. Most of the fighting took place in the streets and alleys of Kufa, with the pro-Alid opponents of the governor led by al-Sa'ib ibn Malik al-Ash'ari and Ibn al-Ashtar ultimately besting Ibn Muti's men and forcing him and a small coterie of supporters to barricade in the city's fortified palace. He was persuaded by his supporter, the Arab noble Shabath ibn Rib'i al-Tamimi, to secretly escape the city alone after refusing an earlier suggestion to formally surrender, which he deemed a betrayal of Ibn al-Zubayr. Ibn Muti praised the Arab nobles on his side and dismissed Mukhtar's supporters as lowly men before evacuating. His supporters then obtained safe conduct in return for giving al-Mukhtar their allegiance. In a different account of events, Ibn Muti departs Kufa after being granted 100,000 silver dirhams and safe conduct by al-Mukhtar.

Later service and death
After leaving Kufa, Ibn Muti established himself in Basra where the Zubayrids remained in control. Ibn Muti returned in 689/90 to Mecca in the company of Mus'ab, Basra's governor and brother of Ibn al-Zubayr. Despite a pardon issued for him by Abd al-Malik, Ibn Muti fought and died alongside Ibn al-Zubayr during the Umayyad siege of Mecca led by al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf in late 692.

 * Suspected sockpuppets

 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

This edit has the same style of complaining and accusing as the sockmaster.

The second IP is nearly copying the argumentation of the sockmaster. This edit proves that he is continuing the earlier dispute about Albiana as an allied power (what they were not).

The third IP echoes the same sentiment of poor Albania not recognised as allied power here.

To me, the pattern of POV-editing and claiming that Albania was an allied power in WW2 is clearly and the IPs use the same sentiment and argumentation as the indefinitely blocked LupinoJacky as most clearly visible in his objections against the block. The Banner talk 12:15, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Addition of IP <IP_ADDRESS>: Part of the habit of LupinoJacky was the ignoring of arguments that were unsuitable for his purposes. The IP does the same. And by answering on a remark directed at <IP_ADDRESS>, he makes clear that they are related. Not to mention its editing history, that fits perfectly in the line of editing of the sockmaster. The Banner talk 12:24, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

In the AN/I discussion Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive269 LupinoJacky complained about personal attacks ( However, since several days, the user The Banner is constantly preventing me (through reverting) from entering information on Allies of World War II, you can see also personal attacks on the talk page. ) and refuses to engage is discussion ( Such a personal aggression is not worth of any further response from my side, since I do not belong to this level of discourse. ). Here dies IP 147 exactly the same: ''Sorry, I do not see how those personal attacks are related to the ongoing discussion in this talk page. As a consequence I am simply ignoring your comment.'' The Banner talk 20:45, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Behaviour

Interesting is also the earlier sockpuppetinvestigation Sockpuppet investigations/LupinoJacky/Archive in which Vanjagenije points at an edit of <IP_ADDRESS> that was later modified by LupinoJacky. SPI-clerk Salvidrim! stated there that it was most likely a case of forgetting to log in by LupinoJacky. All these IPs are from the same range. The Banner talk 20:56, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Here is another example of the behaviour of the block evading IPs, in this case <IP_ADDRESS>. For instance, he is ignoring the facts again by stating that the prior discussion was a stalemate while in fact it was a consensus against him. Beside that, he is claiming that Associated Power is a synonym term for "Allies" or "Allies and Associated Powers" while there is no proof of that. The same as LupinoJacky did here and the same as IP <IP_ADDRESS> did here. The Banner talk 12:05, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Comments by other users

True, there is a content dispute here, which is being carried on in the talk page of the article. The discussion on my side is only dedicated to the historic core of the topic and is based on ethically-correct language and arguments. The opposing editors are using personal accusations and try to block me, because I believe they do not possess relevant arguments for the case. It is true that the opposing party has a majority in number of editors, which is a derivation of the fact that there are significantly more editors with anti-Albanian views than neutral or pro-Albanian views (given that Albania is a tiny country and there are more anti-Albanian users from conflicting countries: Greece and ex-Yugoslavia (Serbia)). This is a politically heated debate and an experienced admin should not fall in the trap of thinking that the truth belongs to the majority of editors (even though I have experienced cases where admins fall in that trap).

Since the issue has moved to a personal dimension, I will personally reply to those editors as well (only for the sake of this investigation). I invite editors to check the core of the topic and the talk page, to see how the anti-Albanian editors persistently try to push their agendas. I can provide with examples of their anti-Albanian theses on other articles:

For instance user Alexikoua is a Greek editors with nationalistic beliefs that promotes Greek nationalistic territorial claims against Albania, such as the "North Epirus" claims http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Northern_Epirus. Please also see how he is obsessed with anti-Albanian theories: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Alexikoua.

The other guy, FkpCascais is a Serbian editor with nationalistic beliefs (see his list of contributions), who even dealt with "non-ethical" issues such as praising the high morale of Serbian soldiers during the atrocities conducted against the Albanian civilians in Kosovo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kosovo_War

Finally, TheBanner has a personal obsession that Albania should be listed as an Axis country and constantly pushes in that direction on every related page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Axis_powers. Unfortunately, he prefers to gang with other anti-Albanian editors and try to block opposing editors through ban requests supported by majority votes on his side, instead of opposing arguments with counter-arguments.

What all those users have in common is that they all frequently deal with Albanian issues, they all have a version of history which conflicts with pro-Albanian historians and they all have NO precedent of ever agreeing with pro-Albanian historians. Is that neutral thinking, I leave it to you to decide?

For me it is perfectly OK for others to have an anti-Albanian thesis, but it is NOT OK to ALWAYS have an anti-Albanian thesis and twist history. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:45, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Up to know you failed to prove your case, but with this edit you confirm your sockpuppetry. The Banner talk 15:59, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

 * What is provable is that you are not allowed to reply to this section, since this area is dedicated to the defense of the accused party, or/and comments of additional users.
 * In my opinion, since there is absolutely no negative behavior on my side, then this issue "is not relevant to sock puppetry" and ranges from "content dispute" up to a "bad faith" conduct by TheBanner. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:50, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Replying here is perfectly acceptable, but let's stick to the sockpuppetry case. Most of the above discussion is irrelevant to this.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  18:48, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

 * @ Vanjagenije  (talk)  You were one of the active editors supporting TheBanner and his anti-Albanian thesis on this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Allies_of_World_War_II. I am worrying if you have the integrity to judge such a dispute?<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:03, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
 * See the Lupino comment on the diff and his comment regarding me here? Same pattern. Absolutelly no doubts it is Lupino. Vanjagenije, I think you should remove your decline since you were already involved in this discussions and for some strange unknown reason you are playing some sort of "good cop" here instead of appliying wiki rules and policies. Please leave it for other checkusers. FkpCascais (talk) 03:25, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * You alredy demonstrated not being able to cope with the disruption of this user when you said this. Your tolerance towards disruption is causing harm and productive editors to loose time. Sorry, but truth. FkpCascais (talk) 03:29, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Its clear case of block evasion. FkpCascais (talk) 02:14, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * - Yes, that is probably Lupino. But, CheckUser may never be used to connect named accounts with IPs, so I'm declining the CU. please, try to find some convincing evidence (show similarities in editing using wp:diffs), so that we may run behavioral investigation.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  18:47, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I declined CU in this case because all the suspected socks are IPs. CheckUser should not be used to connect named accounts with IPs. That is not a question of my involvement, that is a technical question. Any other clerk would decline CU in this case, because CU is always declined in cases when it is requested to connect named account with an IP. Please, cite those "Wikipedia rules and policies" that I'm "not applying".  Vanjagenije  (talk)  14:38, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * The most active IP is blocked. Other three stopped editing more than 10 days ago. Closing the case. If they re-appear, fill the case again.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  23:24, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Elves in Middle-earth/GA1

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

Reviewer: Whiteguru (talk · contribs) 04:18, 17 August 2020 (UTC) Herein begins the review for Good Article nomination. GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Due this being a long article, the GA review shall be broken into the same sections of the Article, in order to make matters manageable.
 * Noted.

Origins

 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * 2) The etymology of Elf (as used in Middle Earth by Tolkien) is short and sharp. The link to Elf handles a longer exploration of the uses of Elf in Germanic languages, along with Old and Middle English.
 * 3) * Noted.
 * 4) The citation of the South English Legendary and its accompanying translation serves to introduce Elves from myth and legend; however I am not so sure that the sub-heading Almost Angels is substantiated by any of this content. It would seem to require some more information to confirm any reference to "almost angels".
 * 5) * Trying to say they're a class of halfway beings, neither fully on Earth like Men, nor fully in Heaven like Angels, both in the South English Legendary and in Tolkien. I suppose 'Halfway beings' will do as a working title; better suggestions welcomed.
 * 6) The inclusion of Galadriel indeed has been expelled from Valinor, presumes the reader has prior information or has read one or another books. In this wise, a reader would be at a loss to understand this particular inclusion.
 * 7) * Added gloss and wikilink for Galadriel (and just above for Valinor also).
 * 8) Elf or Fairy is an excellent excursus into the terminology, its transition in the writings of Tokien and T.H. White (a useful comparison and commentary) its uses in the trenches of WWI along with other applications and the nascent associations the word "fairy" was beginning to attract. Tolkien's essay  On Fairy-Stories wraps up sourcing and etymology of the terms and their origins as far as Tolkien was concerned and his final applications. Good.
 * 9) * Thank you.
 * 10) Reconciling multiple traditions tackles a lot of material by way of conflicting legends and mythologies extant in different sources. The link to In Proper Names provides a very useful context for this section and understanding how different morphologies used the prefix Elf in its various namings. This is quite a useful section exposing the origins of some of the characteristics and skills of Elves. A perception of the many layered impression of depth is achieved.
 * 11) * Thank you.

 Here endeth the review in part, the part being Origins; the next section of the review will be '''Development.

This is a work in progress, not complete. --Whiteguru (talk) 05:27, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Development
 Here endeth the review in part, the part being Development; the next section of the review will be Fictional History.
 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * 2) The influence of J.M.Barrie and the Catholic poet Francis Thompson are noted. The excerpt from Goblin Feet is noteworthy as it gives an appreciation of early alliteration in writing, and what is to come.
 * 3) * Noted.
 * 4) Exposing the influences for The Book of Lost Tales is restrained and well done. Reference to Ljósálfar of Norse mythology is appropriate as this delineates both the evolution and diminution of Elven folk in Tolkien's narratives.
 * 5) * Noted, thank you.
 * 6) References to the Welsh Mabinogion, Arthurian romances and the legends of the Tuatha Dé Danann are salutary and illustrate influences on the evolution of the idea of Elf in this work. The Mabinogion has strong influence as do the narratives of Tuatha Dé Danann. Translation of these into elements of Christian hagiography and eschatology are well known, and in the case of much legendary materials, ultimately destructive in the hands of monks.
 * 7) * Noted.
 * 8) The reference to Tolkien's personal Catholic Theology is important, for few know that Tolkien was brave and inveigled modern legends from Biblical legends. The larger Elves may even be reflected in Genesis 6:4, The Nephilim were in the earth in those days.
 * 9) * Noted.
 * 10) The evolution of the more serious mediaeval Elves from the semi-divine Elf to diminutive Fairy is well illustrated in the dialogue of Galadriel.
 * 11) * Thank you.
 * 12) The reference to Tolkien's comments on the Elves purposes in creating the Three Rings is illustration of both the evolution and the end of the Elves. Well crafted.
 * 13) * Noted.
 * 14) In summary, the matter of tracing the development of Elf in the writings of Tolkien is well handled, with reference to both etymology and sources that had strong influences upon the writing. Much of this influence is mythic, that is, myth that enters the creative mind and emerges in this, that, and the other form with varia names, shapes and sizes as was well noted by Christopher Tolkien, Carpenter and other critics.
 * 15) * Noted.

This is a work in progress, not complete. --Whiteguru (talk) 05:57, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Fictional History

 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * 2) Awakening is a concise summary of the awakening of the 144 and their discovery by Oromë and hints at the development of language.
 * 3) Sundering: a difficult section to make a precis of, for different groups of the Quendi took up so many paths. Citing Dickerson is correct, for the narrative unfolds with Tolkien's skill at developing languages. He is, first, a philologist.
 * 4) Exile is the minor excursus that introduces the Silmarils, and the chicanery of Melkor and his renaming to Morgoth, and leads the reader unto the centenary wars.
 * 5) Wars of Beleriand gives a terse overview of a number of conflicts that lead to the War of Wrath and the defeat of Morgoth. This leads to some reflection on how Tolkien deals with evil, for eventually, the immortals lose the war (on evil) and retreat from Middle Earth.
 * 6) Second and Third Ages traces the beginnings of varia departures to Valinor, hints and the creation of the One Ring and the Three Rings, and the gradual abandonment of Middle Earth.
 * 7) Fourth Age takes up the movements to Valinor in detail, the decline of Elves, the rise of the Age of Men and introduces a signal concept, "rustic folk of dell and cave" which hints at the entire cycle of Elves and their modern depictions in Faerie, as noted by Tolkien. The references are succinct and appropriate.

Noted, thank you.

Characteristics

 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * 2) There is a short account of the life-cycle of Elves, the marriage customs with monogamy, and the lived values of the marriage bond. The division of life tasks, occupations and husbandry is noted, although Tolkien might have a tough time with feminists in this day and age. The Halls of Mandos receive a brief treatment, suggesting that this is not the place for discussion of Purgatory, but rather, the illumination of immortality of Elves and how they retain their bodies, and identity, and perhaps, spirit of place, hinting at the final journey to Valinor.
 * Noted. I've added a 'further' link to Women in The Lord of the Rings, which addresses those issues.

Elvish Languages

 * 1) It is Broad in its coverage?
 * 2) Tolkien said that his stories grew out of his languages. There is little more to say except to link to the full article on Elvish languages
 * Done.

Adaptations
 Here endeth the review in part, the part being from Fictional History to Adaptations. Other matters relating to the review and evaluation will be taken up anon.
 * 1) It is Broad in its coverage?
 * 2) Reference to Peter Jackson's film adaptation is succinct, as this receives more coverage in several other articles.

This is a work in progress, not complete. --Whiteguru (talk) 06:08, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Conclude Review

 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * 2) Notes are succinct and appropriate.
 * 3) Primary References: all from Tolkien and his works.
 * 4) Secondary references were examined, verified and well laid out. Errors noted have been rectified.
 * 5) It is Broad in its coverage.
 * 6) This is actually concise nearly to the point of being terse and laconic. Nonetheless, there is sufficient coverage of the history and development of Elven folk in Tolkien's narratives.
 * 7) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * 8) Coverage is considered neutral; there is no bias nor leaning toward any particular depiction of Elves despite many wars ending in disaster and the departure of most Elves from Middle Earth.
 * 9) Is it stable?
 * 10) This page is very old. It commenced life in 2002 and there have been 597 editors at work on the page. The top 10 editors have made 90% of all edits, and whereas in the past there have been challenges about out of context information, etc, there has been an earlier peer review accepted by editors. At present, the page appears stable, and is having a high number of page views.
 * 11) It is illustrated by images and the (few) images are appropriate and infomative.
 * 12) The talk page takes up in-universe comments (as do previous talk pages, so caution prevails on what gets into the page (it is fantasy).
 * 13) Overall:
 * 14) Pass ✅
 * 1) Pass ✅

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 1 one external link on Dennis Knight. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

C Sharp/First Program

Hello World
Using Visual Studio 2008, we will create the famous "Hello World!" example in a C# console application.
 * Create a new project (File->New->Project)
 * Select Visual C# in Project types
 * Select Console Application from the Visual Studio installed templates
 * Click OK

Now we're ready to write some code. The project should have a file called Program.cs. Open that file to edit the code that will execute.

Program.cs
Note that you don't need the string[] args part of your loop. In fact, you can omit it like so:

Note: In the end of your C# program, for VSCode or Visual Studio, you need to add Console.ReadKey; or else the program will close after executing the last line of code in the static void Main or static void Main(string[] args) loop.

Remarks
Ensures that the program will use the System namespace. The System namespace includes the console class, which is necessary for input/output operations with the console. It is important to note that each line of code terminates with a semi-colon (unless an open curly bracket is used).

Places the following code into the ConsoleApplication1 namespace. Later on the programmer may choose to create a namespace with their name or company name. It is important that this namespace name be unique so that it does not conflict with other namespaces when unintended.

An open curly bracket signifies a block of code. All the code that falls between { and its corresponding } will be affected by the line of code prior to the opening bracket. In this case, these two brackets ensure that all the rest of the code falls within the namespace ConsoleApplication1.

The main entry point into the program. When a console application runs it looks for the method entitled Main(string[] args). After the method is found the program will begin to execute at the first line after the Main entry point.

Console Output
The following code outputs a line of text to the console. This code needs to be inserted just after the entry point of the program.

The code can be compiled and run by pressing F5 or by Debug->Start Debugging. The code will output Hello World! to the console, and then quickly shut down. To pause the program we can ask the program to request that the user hit a key.

Note: Double forward slash (//) is one method for creating comments in the code. Any text after the // is ignored by the compiler until the next line. Comments are used for many reasons. Here we explain the purpose of code that may be unclear just by reading the code.

Congratulations! We've created a fully functional C# program using the console. Check out Where To Go Next to find the next lesson.

Hello World with Windows Forms
'Using Visual Studio 2003, we will create the famous "Hello World!" example in CSharp (Also referred to as C#).'

'''First Create a new project. '''

Do this by following these steps:

1) Start Visual Studio

2) Select the Menu item: "File"

3) Select the Sub-Menu item: "New"

4) Select the Sub-Menu item: "Project"

5) Select Project Types: "Visual C# Projects", Selecting Templates: "Windows Application"

6) For Name: type "HelloWorld", then select the 'OK' button.

Congratulations you have created a new project!

'''Now, let's create our "Hello World!" example.'''

1) In the Solution Explorer on the right, you will notice your "HelloWorld" project has several files. Using your mouse, double-click the Form1.cs file.  You will see that Form1 now displays in your viewer in [Design] Mode.

2) Now Select this [Design] mode Form1 with your mouse. Right-click and select "Properties".

3) You will see a list of what are called Events. These events are messages your windows form can respond to.  Select the "Load" event and double-click this.

4) This will take you to [Code] Mode. You will see the following code displayed after double clicking the "Load" event: 5) in between the two curly braces (ie: "{  }") type the following: 6) Here's what you should see: 7) Run the program to see "Hello World!" by Pressing and holding down the two keys: CTRL F5

8) This will start your program and you will see a message box display "Hello World!"

Congratulations you have made your first C# program! --Darshan Arney 21:58, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
