Donald Harris Date Of U.S. Citizenship
When and why did Wikipedia take down the date, or lack thereof, of Donald Harris obtaining formal citizenship in the United States? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C52:7900:1126:4CE:C62E:C166:1496 (talk) 00:42, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * If this is about the article Donald J. Harris, please see Talk:Donald J. Harris. If the question is not already answered, ask there. —[ Alan M 1  (talk) ]— 01:21, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * In which article, the Kamala Harris article or the Donald J. Harris article? I'm having trouble seeing when and where the dates were present, which would suggest that they weren't there for long.
 * If the information was in Kamala Harris, that's probably because the dates would only be relevant for racist and stupid (even by the standards of racism) conspiracy theory accusing her of being an Anchor baby with the implication that anchor babies somehow aren't really born in the United States.
 * If the information was in Donald J. Harris, the information was probably unsourced. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:22, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Valentine
Changes reverted because they weren't considered "constructive"? Even though I provided corrected information about a person's birth name, parents, etc.? Oh well. I guess it's not really open for discussion. This is why I won't let my students cite Wikipedia as a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:19, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Correct according to whom? You did not cite a reliable source. If you have such a source, please discuss it with the reverting editor,, at Talk:Kathy Valentine. This is how things work here (see WP:BRD). —[ Alan M 1  (talk) ]— 01:24, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * You not only changed her birth name from "Valentine" to "Wheeler", you attributed this information to a source (admittedly, an unreliable source) which clearly gives her birth name as "Valentine". Maproom (talk) 08:29, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Guy Nattiv photos and information.
To whom it may concern, My name is Guy Nattiv. I am an American Academy Award winning writer and director. My short film, "Skin", won the 2019 Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film. I directed four acclaimed feature films, including the feature version of "Skin", which had its world premiere at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival. Recently, I was trying to update info and add photos that are copyright free to my page. I was also trying to update my Biography but unfortunately I was blocked. I need help to update my personal Wiki page with photos that I own. Thank you for your help, Best Guy Nattiv — Preceding unsigned comment added by גיא נתיב (talk • contribs) 02:13, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Please take a thorough look at Autobiography. The subjects of biography articles are strongly discouraged from editing the articles themselves because Wikipedia strives to maintain a neutral point of view. If you have specific problems with the accuracy or coverage of the article, you may point them out on the talk page of the article about you providing references to reliable third-party sources—that is, works written by journalists or scholars published in reputable publications run independently of your associations.
 * Regarding copyright, you indeed appear to have uploaded pictures of you photographed by other people. As a professional artist yourself, you must know that the copyright of photographs, even portraits, belongs to the photographer, not the subject, in most jurisdictions (otherwise Jamie Bell should own your movie). So if you want to upload a picture of you that you own the copyright of, or that the photographer has given permission to release under a free license, you must demonstrate such a fact by sending the relevant information to the OTRS volunteer team. Note that in most circumstances Wikipedia only accepts pictures of living people that have been released under a license that allows others to freely copy, redistribute, modify, and sell them, so you must prove to the volunteer team that you or whoever owns the copyright of the picture(s) have agreed to such terms.

Split an inputed argument into two arguments
Can any one help me solve a technical issue at SelAnnivAbbr? The template is only used in Born and died list/sandbox. I am trying to accommodate a situation that occurs at Selected anniversaries/August 29 (look next to Ingrid Bergman). Basically, I am trying to make it possible to feed in an argument  into Born and died list/sandbox. I want the bar character to be ignored and passed-thru in the first layer (Born and died list/sandbox) but for the second layer (SelAnnivAbbr) I want it to interpreted as two different arguments equal to and. --- C & C ( Coffeeandcrumbs ) 02:58, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk page deletion
Not new to editing here or anything, but I'm not the best at knowing how/where to get certain pages deleted- as well as what can/cannot be deleted or nominated for deletion. I'm looking for Talk:2020 Kids' Choice Sports to be deleted- an IP created the page with just, "August 8, 2020"- and then blanked it. No need for this talk page, as there is no article for it at 2020 Kids' Choice Sports, as Nickelodeon has never announced anything in regards to that awards show airing this year (and is especially unlikely due to COVID...). I also reverted their bogus addition to Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. Thanks in advance. Magitroopa (talk) 05:55, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I tagged it with CSD G8. —[ Alan M 1  (talk) ]— 06:18, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Truganini
The picture on the wikipedia page is not Truganini. This is a photograph of a woman known as Wapperty taken by Hobart photographer Charles Woolley at the same time as photographs of Truganini. Wapperty is an important woman in her own right, the last surviving daughter of Mannalargenna and it is an insult to all Aboriginal people of Tasmania that wikipedia does not bother to distinguish one Aboriginal woman from another. There are several excellent photographs of Truganini. This is not her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:16, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * This is about File:B(1871)_p187_TASMANIA,_THE_LAST_OF_THE_ABORIGINALS_(LADY).jpg, an image stored, and possibly mis-identified, at Wikimedia Commons. The best place to discuss this might be the Commons help desk. Maproom (talk) 08:35, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

new page submission
hi, I made a new page for St Anne Stanley church in Liverpool 2 weeks ago and clicked publish page. I can't see the page yet. How long does it take to go live? Thanks :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheadle13 (talk • contribs) 09:08, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * If you are referring to the content of your sandbox, you have not formally submitted it for review. "Publish changes" should be understood to simply mean "save changes", it does not mean "publish this to the encyclopedia".  I will shortly add the appropriate information to allow you to submit it, but you should not submit it at this time, as it would be rejected quickly.  This is because you have no independent reliable sources with significant coverage to support the content of your draft. Please read Your First Article for more information. 331dot (talk) 09:20, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Hello, what you created is a draft in your sandbox. It will need to be submitted for review (which can currently take up to 8 weeks or more). You can do so by placing  at the top of the markup. However, if you were to do so now it is likely that the draft would be declined as it lacks referencing. Wikipedia will require sourcing to establish notability; please see that page for more information together with WP:NBUILDING. Would also recommend a review of the guide to article creation and the manual of style. Might also suggest looking at pages on similar subjects to see how they are laid out and structured. I will also leave some useful links at your talk page. Please note that pages are not indexed by search engines for 90 days or until they have been patrolled, whichever is the shorter period.  Thank you.

Jai Shree Ram

Jai Shree Ram is not war cry. update your page. Jai Shree Ram is 'hail God Ram'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 10:19, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, please discuss the matter at the article talk page; the varying use of the phrase seems adequately explained within the article. Any ultimate changes will need reliable sources for corroboration. Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 10:29, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

List of 2020-21 NBA Transactions Article
Can you fix 2 of the references i made please. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:00, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Please try to provide more information when asking for help. At Draft:List of 2020–21 NBA Transactions, ref 3 had a newline in the middle of the date parameter. I removed it, as well as some stray periods. Both Mike Miller and Jeff Bower were linked to disambiguation pages (I pointed them to the correct articles). What was the other reference problem you mentioned? —[ Alan M 1  (talk) ]— 22:12, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Map push pin size
I am having trouble reducing the size of the push pin Wisconsin map size for Statue of John Plankinton. Can someone reduce the size by about half so the infobox fits nicely into the article. Thanks. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:21, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Did this edit make it better? If you reduce the map size too much, the pushpin label doesn't fit comfortably within the map. Deor (talk) 20:35, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, great. I went to 175 and that appears to be alright and it fits nicely in article space. Thanks for help.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:43, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

my name is John Pappas and you say I have no page. well type my name on Google and my Wikipedia page comes up. I gave a donation to you yesterday. I have donated many times. I'd to clear this up.
hi my name is John Pappas. I just saw the subject headline above and I realize now that I never got a response to that subject/headline. now my issue is something else. yesterday I made some changes to my page or article in an attempt to clean up some of the language I used in the past and to edit some of the existing items on my wikipedia article. one of your contributors, Eagles 24/7 is the name, is now claiming that my edit wasn't contributing to my article. he claimed a LA Times newspaper article was a mention and not a valid contribution. that article was a full review of my play Increments Of Three, from years ago. it seemed like it had been edited somehow by someone and I don't have any idea who. another article was a review of my play Tribe Of Judah, which also was a full review and now wikipedia says it doesn't exist. well it did exist, what happened to it? there are other items listed that wikipedia claim "does not exist" and they are also untrue. Don McClean "American Pie" artist song doesn't exist, "News Radio" a well known sit-com? doesn't exist and "What's Happening Now" an additional carry over version of the original sit-com "What's Happening" also does not exist. this is wrong.

your contributor Eagles 24/7 is attempting to bump me off wikipedia so he can replace me with an obsolete football player with my name. is that how this works? a contributor who has a enthusiastic pension for football, even calls himself Eagles 24/7 and keeps tabs of college football can attempt to bump off a living actor and playwright so he can replace me with a deceased football player with my name. or maybe the fact that I'm born in Oakland California, home of the Oakland Raiders is another contributing factor in his possible resentment of an actor/playwright having a place in Wikipedia.

John Pappas — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Pappas (talk • contribs) 16:16, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

 * The correct place for you to discuss this is at Articles for deletion/John Pappas (2nd nomination). If you wish to successfully oppose the deletion, I strongly recommend that you restrict yourself to the substance of the article. The points you made here will prejudice other editors against you. The volunteers here do not know or care about your donations, and attacking the motivation of another editor is a bad idea (see WP:AGF). The fact that you are the main contributor to the article also works against you. See WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY. You should not edit that article directly: see WP:COI. To save the John Pappas article, you must find some useful reliable sources that show your notability. I recommend that you read Common sourcing mistakes (notability). -Arch dude (talk) 16:58, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Hello Mr. Pappas. I believe the discussion you're looking for is here: Articles_for_deletion/John_Pappas_(2nd_nomination) which is for the proposal to delete the article John Pappas. You can contribute to the discussion to oppose the article being deleted but I recommend to read these articles first to prepare: Deletion_policy Conflict of interest and Notability. -- occono (talk) 16:59, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

 * you are also correct that Wikipedia does not have pages for the incorrectly-spelled or formatted Don McClean, or “American Pie” or 'News Radio. An editor named "John Pappas" appears to have entered these names incorrectly and then did not check the work. Instead, we have pages for Don McLean and American Pie and News Radio. -Arch dude (talk) 17:31, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , I think you meant to link to NewsRadio, though I could be wrong. :-) YorkshireLad  ✿  (talk) 18:04, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Tangentially, it's an unfortunate problem that if you search for "Foo Bar" (with the quotes to force the exact phrase match), and then click on the link in You may create the page "", ..., it creates the page the quotes in the title. Anyone know if this has been reported as undesirable, since it's almost never correct? —[  Alan M 1  (talk) ]— 22:29, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

How to edit articles that do NOT have a standard, normal "edit' link?
Hello,

How can minor clarifications, corrections be made to subject descriptions in articles that do NOT have standard, normal "edit" links. Not sure how to proceed (?).

On the Wikipedia contact page it states "You can also email the Wikipedia Volunteer Response Team at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>although we may not be able to assist with all suggestions." HOWEVER<EMAIL_ADDRESS>link is useless since it simply returns me back to the original contact page, as a reiterative loop (?)

Thanks for any help or suggestions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NoSnowFlake (talk • contribs) 17:28, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi NoSnowFlake, firstly, please sign all posts on talk pages with 4 tildes ( ~ ) which will add your signature and a timestamp I suspect the page you are having trouble with may be semi-protected, to stop unregistered and very new editors editing it as a way to reduce vandalism.

Red links on English wiki while article exists on Italian wiki
Hi there,

I have a question regarding the jazz album “The Rotterdam Session” which is red linked in the Clifford Jordan Chronology ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Ballads ) as well as the Philly Joe Jones Chronology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_Stop_Listen ). This page does exist on the Italilan wiki (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rotterdam_Session ) and it would be fitting to have it in English as well. What would be wisdom here and is there some kind of “simple conversion process”? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amor68 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The Italian article appears to contain no references, so in that form would not meet the requirements of the English Wikipedia. Please read enwiki's definition of notability.  You can find advice at WP:Translation. David Biddulph (talk) 18:03, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

 * However, you could use an inter-language link. It would still be a redlink, but with a link to the Italian article.  For example,   renders as: The Rotterdam Session

Related
Is there some way to have the inter-language link render not in code? For example, "Italian" instead of "it"? --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:31, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * No, but there are other, non-recommended ways:  renders as Italian:The Rotterdam Session; or slightly less obviously,   becomes it:The Rotterdam Session, but the ill crew will doubtless change it to an approved format. I gave up some time ago. MinorProphet (talk) 16:38, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Hello. This is the Help desk for Wikipedia, and answers questions about editing Wikipedia. We cannot help with anything else. I'm guessing this is about classmates.com, (which I've never heard of)? It looks as if you can get help at https://help.classmates.com/hc/en-us . --ColinFine (talk) 19:40, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I also see the 166 references. I'm referring to the citations. If you click on "References", in edit mode you can see them beginning with "refname=ActionBF1" etc... There are dozens of them. These are "invisible" in read mode, and I cannot figure out how to fix this. Thanks for your assistance! Twofingered Typist (talk) 13:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Drake Hogestyn

Recent changes...
...introduced into the article by me are being wrongly scrutinized by two particular users. Allow me to explain the changes for the benefit of those who may not understand:

1) Days of Our Lives is a soap opera. There is a Wikipedia article on soap operas.  There are some editors who believe that the term is outdated and should be replaced with "daytime drama".  If this were the case, then the Wikipedia article would be called "daytime drama" and not "soap opera".  There is nothing wrong with clarifying this, and I'm glad to see that it has stuck with the successive revisions of this article.

2) Titles of television programs and movies should be italicized. As we all know, this is a Wikipedia guideline found in the Manual of Style.  When I first stumbled upon this article, I noticed Days of Our Lives was not in italics anywhere.  When I fixed this, I was immediately met with resistance from another user.  With the help of an admin, this also has remained correctly in the article.  On that note, there is no need for quotation marks for TV and movie titles when they are in italics (eg. Kelly, Kelly -- that has been fixed).

3) NBC may own a piece of the program, and may lend its Burbank facilities for filming, but when I watch the end credits, the two production companies I see are Corday Productions and Sony Pictures Television -- not NBC. To say that NBC is a co-producer of Days is incorrect.  Again, an error someone stubbornly insists in keeping in the article has been fixed and clarified.

Despite what CelticGreen and IrishLass0128 may think, the article needs to be written and corrected in such a way that will appeal to the Wikipedia community at large, and not just to fans of Days or soaps in general. I stand by my changes, and my reasons for making them. Rollosmokes 07:23, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Let's address this as you seem to be missing the final changes that were made by end of day yesterday and just reverted back to "your" version.
 * 1. The final version said "American soap opera" ~ what's the problem?
 * 2. The titles were italicized including Kelly, Kelly. Again, what's the problem?
 * Regarding the quotation marks, that is because of the linked reference and that general grammar styles dictate in that particular sentence quotation marks be used. It's not all about MOS, it's about good grammar too.
 * 3. NBC does own the show, I have many a Soap Opera Digest that indicates that and can very happily get you a screen cap that shows NBC owning the show. As "Corday Productions" does not have a page and Ken Corday does, the link accurately goes to Ken Corday.  If you read the sentence as it stands, it is correct, Ken Corday is the co-executive producer of the show and he has not, nor has Ed Scott, the other co-executive producer made a statement on Drake's status with the show.

 * I would suggest you read what is there before reverting to YOUR version and not seeing things like the changes you insist weren't there. Daytime drama, soap opera, who cares?  It says soap opera now, so I don't understand the tirade.  The issues you address are resolved but you are not seeing that.  Tampa goes to the Tampa, Florida page, the Seven Brides for Seven Brothers link is in there twice.  One goes to the actual section for the show and one goes to the top of the article, that is not an issue yet you keep reverting that change for no reason.  It goes to the same article, why do you insist on changing it?  It's things like that that confuse me.  Quite honestly, your hostility in the matter also perplexes me.  IrishLass0128 12:58, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Note - I have made considerable changes and added many citations. I removed the tag at the top and sourced to good references material in the article.  I have re-worded the statements regarding "John Black's" character and made additional substantial changes.  Do not revert just for kicks and giggles.  This is an article that needed cleaning up and I have done so regardless of your hostile attitude.  Please show respect and assume good faith something you have indicated is a problem. IrishLass0128 14:41, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

 * How can there be any respect and "good faith" when the same mistakes were made AGAIN?? Not to mention your attempt to twist the truth -- I'm the one who corrected the redirects to Tampa and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.  I also highlighted the incorrect use of quotation marks for the mention of Kelly, Kelly (again, TV shows and movies get italics, not quotations).

 * I've done my part and explained my changes, only to have everything undone again. Compare the edits  and please explain why you continue to revert to your PREFERRED VERSION.  Rollosmokes 16:38, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Since you are PAINFULLY unwilling to behave in a respectful manner based on the above, I'll ask another admin to assist on this. You have stated you refuse to show good faith, therefore it is obvious that it will be impossible for you to work with others.  IrishLass0128 16:42, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Huda Sultan

Huda Sultan or Hoda Sultan (هـدى سلطان, Birth name: Bahiga Abdel'al  (بهيجه عبد العال ), (15 August 1925 – 5 June 2006) was an Egyptian actress and singer. She was also one of the most awarded actress for her roles, especially in musicals in the black and white films where she played secondary and leading roles. Sultan performed in hundreds of films in Egyptian cinema in a 56-year career.

Early life
Huda Sultan was born on 15 August 1925 in the rural Egyptian city of Tanta to a higher class family. She was the third of five siblings; one of her brothers was the renowned artist Mohamed Fawzi. She was born as Bahiga Abd El-Aal, but later adopted her new acting name, Huda Sultan, after many suggestions from prominent Egyptian Cinema producers that her birth name was too rural.

Career
In 1950 she starred in her first film "Set El Hosn" (ست الحسن, "The lady of beauty"); soon after, she married the Egyptian actor Farid Shawqi and the couple had formed a successful duo and acted together in numerous films as well with Egypt's leading actors such as: Salah Zulfikar, Rushdy Abaza and Shoukry Sarhan. Her most notable works are in the films; "El Fetewa" (الفتوة, "The Bully"), Ezz El-Dine Zulficar’s "Emra’a Fel Tareeq" (إمرأة في الطريق, "A Woman in the Road") with Shoukry Sarhan and Rushdy Abaza, "Nessa Muharramat" (Egyptian Arabic: نساء محرمات, "Forbidden Women") with Salah Zulfikar. In 1960, she starred "Serr Imra'a" (Egyptian Arabic: سر امرأة, “Woman's Secret”) with Salah Zulfikar and Emad Hamdy. In 1968, she appeared in “Thalath Nesaa” (Egyptian Arabic: ثلاث نساء, “Three Women”) with Salah Zulfikar, Shoukry Sarhan and Ahmed Ramzy. "Shaye' Fe Sadry" (شئ في صدري, "Something in My Heart") with Rushdy Abaza. Also Youssef Chahine's "El Ekhtyar" (الإختيار, "The Choice") with Soad Hosny. In 1976, she co-starred in "Awdat Al Ibn Aldal" (عودة الابن الضال, "The Return of the Prodigal Son") with Shoukry Sarhan, and "El Wada'a Ya Banobart" (الوداع يا بونبارت, "Adieu Bonaparte") with Salah Zulfikar, Patrice Chéreau and Michel Piccoli. In 1986, Sultan starred in "Min Fadlik Wa Ihsanik" (من فضلك وإحسانك, "Please and Your Kindness") with Salah Zulfikar and Hesham Selim.

Marriages
Sultan married five times: her first husband, Mohamed Naguib, was a prominent Egyptian government official who did not agree to his wife's celebrity status and divorced her soon after her first movie. Her second husband was an Egyptian movie producer, and her third husband was Fowad Al-Atrash (brother of singer Farid al-Atrash and Asmahan), she divorced him in order to marry leading actor Farid Shawqi. She then married director Hassan Abdel Salam.

Children
Sultan had one daughter with her first husband, Mohamed Naguib, called Maha, and two daughters with her second husband Shawki, one of them, Nahed, who is a movie producer. Her granddaughter is actress Nahed El Sebai

Death
In 2006 she died, at the age of 81 years, after a battle with lung cancer, at Dar Al Fouad in 6th of October, Egypt.

Structure and standards
See WP:USRD/STDS for the article standards and structure.

Categories
There are a few guidelines for which categories to put these articles in, but overcategorization is a definite concern. Place Illinois State Route articles in the following categories:

 * Category:State highways in Illinois. Use the following sort keys:
 * 1di and 2di highways:   where xx is the number of the route
 * 3di highways:   where yxx is the number of the route

 * The category for each county the route runs through, i.e. Category:Tazewell County, Illinois.
 * Avoid categories for each individual city on the route. Categories for major cities are acceptable.

Use these for things like Lincoln Highway or Kingery Expressway, not Illinois Route 1.
 * Categories for notable highways but not Illinois state routes

 * Category:Interstate Highways in Illinois
 * Category:U.S. Highways in Illinois
 * Category:Historic trails and roads in the United States

Ceylonese cricket team in India in 1940–41

The Ceylon cricket team visited India in December 1940 and January 1941. Ceylon did not then have Test status, but two three-day unofficial Tests were played: the first was drawn, and India won the second. The tour also included one other first-class match and two minor matches.

It was the second tour abroad by a Ceylonese team, and one of only two international cricket tours to take place during World War II; the other was the Indian tour to Ceylon in 1944-45.

The Ceylon team

 * Sargo Jayawickreme (captain)
 * Alexander Gooneratne
 * Gerry Gooneratne
 * Mervyn Gooneratne
 * Don Jayasundera
 * Mervyn Kelaart
 * Louis Mendis
 * Ben Navaratne
 * Bill Porritt
 * John Pulle
 * Harry Roberts
 * Ranny Solomons
 * Abdul Wahid

Jayawickreme and Kelaart were the only members of the party that had taken part in Ceylon's previous tour in 1932-33.

Wahid, an opening batsman and left-arm spin bowler who played for Moors Sports Club in Colombo, played only in the two minor matches, and never played first-class cricket.

The tour
The tour began with a victory for Ceylon over Madras. The first international match, against an Indian team consisting mostly of players from Bengal, followed in Calcutta; it was drawn after Ceylon had taken a first-innings lead of 121 thanks to an innings of 138 by Jayawickreme. In the second international match three days later in Bombay, India fielded an entirely different team, which overwhelmed Ceylon by an innings and 110 runs. Two minor matches followed; both were drawn.

Akinori Otsuka

Akinori Otsuka (大塚 晶則) (born January 13, 1972) is a Japanese former baseball pitcher who coaches for the Chunichi Dragons in Nippon Professional Baseball. He was formerly the set-up man for the San Diego Padres and the Texas Rangers. He was also the closer for Japan's 2006 World Baseball Classic winning team.

Otsuka threw a low-90's 4-seam fastball (tops out at about 94 mph) that is very straight, along with a hard, late-breaking slider. He employed an unorthodox pitching delivery wherein he lifted his lead leg up very slowly, tapped his glove, then fired to home plate, making his pitches look faster coming out of his hand and thus harder to pick up.

San Diego Padres
Otsuka came to the United States after several years of pitching in the Japanese League when his former team, the Chunichi Dragons, used the posting system to solicit bids from MLB clubs for the right to negotiate with him. The Padres offered the top bid, and signed him to a three-year contract on December 9,.

Otsuka made his major league debut April 6, 2004 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, earning the loss after giving up a walk-off single to Robin Ventura. He struck out Paul Lo Duca for his first major league strikeout.

On January 6,, Otsuka was traded to the Rangers, along with pitcher Adam Eaton and minor league catcher Billy Killian, in exchange for pitcher Chris Young, first baseman Adrián González, and outfielder Terrmel Sledge.

Texas Rangers
Otsuka took over the role as the closer for the Rangers during the 2006 season, replacing Francisco Cordero, and recorded 32 saves while posting a 2.11 ERA. However, on December 19, 2006, the Rangers announced that newly signed Éric Gagné would take over the closer role in, with Otsuka moving back into a set-up role. On January 13, 2007, T. R. Sullivan reported that, in an interview in Japan, Otsuka said "If there is the team which needs me as a closer, I am going to think about (the trade)". Due to Gagné starting the season on the DL, Otsuka began the 2007 season as the closer. With the trade of Gagne to the Boston Red Sox, Otsuka assumed the closer's role again. However, Otsuka went on the DL after experiencing tightness in his throwing shoulder. His stand-in was C. J. Wilson. Otsuka was not offered a new contract by the Rangers and became a free agent on December 12, 2007.

Post MLB and Retirement
On January 10,, Otsuka announced that he would undergo elbow surgery.

Shinano Grandserows
Otsuka was the player-manager of the Shinano Grandserows of the Japanese Baseball Challenge League from 2012 to 2014. The team held his retirement ceremony on September 15, 2014.

Chunichi Dragons
Otsuka returned to the Chunichi Dragons on the 3rd of October 2015 as one of the second team pitching coaches.

In 2016, with first team pitching coach Shinichi Kondoh on leave to have hernia surgery, Otsuka helped lead the first team pitchers in spring camp. He however returned to working with the second team following Kondoh's return. On 26 September, Otsuka was unveiled as the pitching coach for the U-23 Japanese national team for the 2016 WBSC U-23 World Cup.

San Diego Padres
Otsuka rejoined the Padres organization in 2017 when he was announced as the bullpen coach of the El Paso Chihuahuas, the AAA affiliate of the Padres.

Personal life
Otsuka and his wife, Akemi, have one son, Toranosuke, and one daughter, Hikaru.

Economic Classroom Experiments/Ultimatum Bargaining

Summary

 * Level: Any level.
 * Prerequisite knowledge: None.
 * Suitable modules: Any module covering game theory.

Abstract: Students participate in one round of an ultimatum game and one round of the same game in dictator form.

 * Intended learning outcomes: Participants in the experiment will:
 * Familiarise and understand ultimatum and dictator games.
 * See that the ‘responder’ may have preferences that depend on relative earnings rather than purely maximising their pay off.
 * Identify the key conflict faced by the ‘proposer’ to either maximise their payoff or play fairly.
 * By playing the dictator game after the ultimatum game, they will be able to see whether a generous ultimatum offer by the ‘proposer’ is due to altruism or fear of rejection by the ‘responder’, it is almost always because of the fear of rejection.

Students
All students are given 4 forms so that their decisions as both ‘proposer’ and ‘responder’ in both the ultimatum and dictator games can be recorded.

The following PowerPoint slides are shown to the students:

Ultimatum game:
As a ‘proposer’: Decide how much you would ‘propose’ splitting £10 between yourself and another participant. Remember the other participant (the ‘responder’) has the power to reject your offer.

As a ‘responder’: Decide whether to accept or reject the amount of money you have been offered out of the total £10 by the ‘proposer’. If you accept the offer you each keep the proposed amounts, if you reject the offer you both get nothing.

Dictator game:
As a 'dictator': Decide how much you would dictate splitting £10 between yourself and another participant. There is no opportunity for the other participant to reject your decision.

All players are informed that they are playing anonymously throughout the experiment.

Instructors
Running the experiment – Handrun

 * Timing: The experiment takes approximately 30 minutes to run. Discussion of the results/data from the experiment can be done in the next lecture.

 * Preparation: Assign each student in the class with a number, so that their actions can be monitored by the instructor, but they remain anonymous to other participants. Give each student 4 forms (they must all write their assigned student number on every form they receive, so their actions can be monitored):
 * 1) 	An ultimatum proposal form for the participant to fill in how much they plan to keep and give out of £10.
 * 2) 	An ultimatum response form for the participant to fill in what they have been offered out of the £10 by another ‘proposer’ and whether they will accept or reject the offer.
 * 3) 	A dictator proposal form for the participant to fill in how much they plan to keep and give out of £10.
 * 4) 	A dictator response form for the participant to fill what they have been offered by the ‘dictator’, they cannot accept or reject this offer.

The dictator game is performed in the same way, the only difference is that the ‘responder’ has no choice whether to accept or reject the offer.
 * Procedure:
 * 1) 	Once the participants all have assigned numbers and each has the 4 forms, ask the participants to fill in the ultimatum proposal forms.
 * 2) 	Collect all of the ultimatum proposal forms and reassign them so that all participants receive a random ultimatum proposal.
 * 3) 	Ask the participants to fill in the ultimatum response form, based on the proposal they have just received.
 * 4) 	Collect all the ultimatum response forms in. Now choose one of the ultimatum response forms at random and read out to the class what (if any) the 2 players of the game would receive, this allows the participants to see an example of the result of the game.

When analysing the results of the 2 games it may be good to add in demographic variables of the participants (gender, age, degree subject) to see if they have any impact on the participants’ behaviour.
 * Tips: To add interest to the game, give the actual payoffs to the 2 participants who are on the response form randomly selected at the end of each game.

Results and Feedback:

On average, in the ultimatum game the ‘proposers’ were willing to give £3.91 to the other participant, a similar ultimatum experiment carried out by Croson (1996) found the average offer to be £4.50, slightly higher than our findings. In our dictator game, the ‘dictator’ gave £0.58 on average to the other participant. This would suggest that fear of their ultimatum offer being rejected was the key reason for such generous ultimatum offers. Our average ‘dictator’ offer is far lower than has been found in other studies, for example, Forsythe et al. (1995) found that ‘dictators’ gave a mean average share of 20%, which would be £2 in our case.

A similar one-stage ultimatum game study by Schotter, Weiss and Zapater (1996), where the participants had to decide how to split $10, gave similar behavioural patterns for offer frequencies. Shown in the graph below the most popular range of offers for both sets of data is 41-50%.

Comparisons of conditional rejection frequencies for our study and the Schotter study vary quite a lot. From the graph below it appears that the participants in the Schotter study rejected low offers more frequently than was observed in our experiment. This is especially true when comparing the rejection frequencies of offers made between 11-20%, all offers were rejected in the Schotter study, in our study only a third of 11-20% offers were rejected.

We also looked into whether the demographic variables: gender and degree subject, had an impact on the participant’s strategic behaviour and social preferences. Females were far more generous in both ‘proposer’ and ‘dictator’ roles than the males. A previous experiment of a dictator game with double anonymous conditions (Eckel and Grossman (1998)) found that females on average gave twice the amount to their anonymous partners in comparison to males. This outcome was also found in our dictator experiment, female ‘dictators’ on average gave £0.80 and male ‘dictators’ gave £0.39.

When comparing male and female conditional rejection frequencies, it appears that males have higher rejection frequencies for offers up to £2. Offers above £2 surprisingly have higher rejection frequencies from the female participants. The graphs below compare the gender conditional rejection frequencies of our ultimatum experiment and another study by Eckel and Grossman (2001).

Although both studies show consistency of declining rejection frequency when offers increase, there are very few other significant similarities between the two studies results. Only at the percentage offer of 1-10% are there similar female and male conditional rejection frequencies for both our study and Eckel’s study.

On average the economics students were the least generous group as both ‘proposer’, offering £3.25, and ‘dictator’, offering £0.38. Our findings were similar to those found in the study by Carter and Irons (1991) where it was found that economics students were willing to give on average, $3.85 out of $10, in comparison to the non-economists who gave, on average, $4.56 out of $10.

NCAA Division III men's ice hockey tournament Most Outstanding Player

The tournament Most Outstanding Player is an annual award given out at the conclusion of the NCAA Division III Men's Ice Hockey Championship to the player to be judged the most outstanding. The award was first conferred in 1984 but was retired after the 1990 championship. The award was resurrected in 2009 and has been given out annually since (as of 2019).

As of 2020, only one player has won the award multiple times (B. J. O'Brian) who, coincidentally, is also the only player to win the award while not playing for the national champion. The 2020 and 2021 tournaments were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, as a result no tournament Most Outstanding Player was awarded.

==Award winners ==

† Chris Panek was the Tournament MOP in 1987 but the award was rescinded when Plattsburgh State's appearance was vacated as a result of NCAA rules violations. * Player was not a member of the championship team.

Loose Lips (novel)

Loose Lips is a 1999 novel by Rita Mae Brown. It is the third book in her Runnymede series.

Plot synopsis
Brown returns to an earlier time in the annals of the fictional small town of Runnymede and the Hunsenmeir sisters. The year is 1941, the bickering sisters, Wheezie and Juts, are approaching middle age, and dealing with life issues of marriage, motherhood, family relationships and aging. Juts is desperate to have a child, but her husband, Chessy, may be infertile. Among the personal issues faced by the sisters and those surrounding them: Chessy's affair, the return of their long-lost father, Juts' relationship with Josephine, her unforgiving mother-in-law, and the adoption of Nicole by Juts and Chessy.

In the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, the residents of Runnymede face new challenges: civil defense, racism against the only Japanese resident of Runnymede, and other events, both comic and dramatic, such as mistaking migrating Canada geese for German bombers, and how the sisters open the Curl n' Twirl salon to pay off a debt due to damage caused by one of their fiercest fights.

The narrative spans a decade in the life of the sisters and the zany inhabitants of Runnymede, ending in 1950, with Wheezie and Juts feeling older and wiser, and just as dedicated as ever to their fractious relationship.

Characters

 * Wheezie and Juts Hunsenmeir: The continually quibbling sisters, who lead the madcap adventures of the town of Runnymede. Wheezie is upset at reaching the age of forty, while Juts is upset at her inability to have a child.
 * Chessy Smith: Husband of Juts, has an affair with dance teacher Trudy Archer.
 * Nicole "Nickel" Smith: Adopted daughter of Juts and Chessy.
 * Mary: Wheezie's daughter, facing the scandal of teen pregnancy.
 * Cora Hunsenmeir: Mother of Wheezie and Juts, maid and friend of Celeste Chalfonte.
 * Josephine Smith: Juts' judgmental and unforgiving mother-in-law.
 * Hansford Hunsenmeir: Long-lost father of Wheezie and Juts, husband of Cora.
 * Celeste Chalfonte: Beautiful, willful, aristocratic woman, in her middle sixties. In a 39-year relationship with Ramelle.
 * Ramelle Chalfonte: Celeste's long-term partner, and the wife of Celeste's brother, Curtis.

Reception
Chicago Tribune critic, Michael Bolden, celebrates the return to the "fascinating" town of Runnymede. Though he finds the novel to fall flat at times, is forgiving due to the entertainment Loose Lips provides: "Brown's comedy is like a visit with relatives whose behavior both amuses and horrifies you. At times, you can't help but laugh aloud, and when the spectacle ends, you understand the people a little more, even if you think they're crazy." Similarly, the Kirkus review enjoyed the return to the familiar and beloved Runnymede and its "wacky" denizens and found that Loose Lips is filled with "vivid characters and strong women. The frequent one-liners often seem more sitcom than novel material, going nowhere and telling less, but there are still good laughs along the way."

The Denver Post positively describes the Hunsenmeir sisters as women who "insist on grabbing life by the throat. ('Life can't pass us by,' says Juts. 'We ARE life.')," yet finds the characters to be "self-indulgent - more sitcom characters than people you want to like," in spite of Brown's "sharp dialogue." Critic Sybil Downing concludes that "although Loose Lips is light and generally forgettable, Brown's keen observations on life and its comedic side so often edged by tragedy make it worth the read."
