Talk:David L. Cunningham

Disputed
A number of claims about this individuals professional history - especially filmography are not sourced, and not found in extensive google searches - except IMDB references which may have been self created by the director, and list no professional credits, save his own.

In addition, a claim that this director has "made 40 documentaries" seems quite dubious.--Boscobiscotti 17:33, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Also see "Path to 9/11 Controversy" section. I would like to dispute the characterization that the film's supporters praised it for "factual accuracy" - It appears they supported the film not for rigourous adherence to fact, but for its overall message, despite "the "fictionalized" nature of the docudrama," see: this supporter's review --Boscobiscotti 17:47, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Background
hey - someone just reverted all of my edits!!!. What gives? they did a major edit change which was incorrect! I provided a linked reference to the fact that the director raised $14,000 seed money for one of his films from contributions by Youth with a mission members. I provided a link, and page number. It appears to be a reputable citation. The reason given is that "this was disproved" but I see absolutely no discussion of this. In addition they reverted many other edits at the same time which led to greater clarity!--<IP_ADDRESS> 07:40, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I think that the statement of the director making "40 documentaries" should be removed. What consitutes a "documentary"? a student film? a home movie? - I can find no reference to this "fact" except on the directors own promotional website, and in fact, no listing of any credited films at all in the director's guild database. The director is in his mid-thirties - has he really been making more than one film a year since he was born?--Boscobiscotti 16:48, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

 * "David began his film career in documentaries, including one about the world's most remote country - Pitcairn Island of "Mutiny on the Bounty" fame.[citation needed]Other films took him to the deserts of Egypt and Australia, and the inner city life of teen prostitutes living on the mean streets of Hollywood.[citation needed]"

What constitutes "beginning a film career"? There is no documentation of this film, and how it was produced. Indeed in the filmography section, this was obviously produced when he was 20 years old. Was this a student film? Are student films typically included in a biography?--Boscobiscotti 16:55, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I removed the following line.

"After directing documentaries in over 40 countries, Again, this points to a self-published website. To include a factual reference it should be something other than a self-published fact about something that, were it notable, many, many people other than the director would have mentioned. 40 countries? that's an awful lot of documentaries without any references at all. These need to not just be made, but be notable.That is, If I decide to film my foot in 40 countries, I could say I "made 40 documentaries" - Sadly, they would not be notable. This is a very exceptional claim. and the only source is a self-published website. see WP:RS --Boscobiscotti 04:06, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

"He helped pioneer indie filmmaking" - this is an exceptional claim. There is no source for it at all. What exactly did he do to "pioneer" - was he the first person to make an independent film in Hawaii?? I dont think so. I suggest this line be removed, or changed to explain what this means.--Boscobiscotti 05:04, 17 April 2007 (UTC)--Boscobiscotti 05:04, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Filmography
For all his work prior to 1998, the only source is IMDB, and it lists no information about these films, other than the fact that Cunningham directed them. Given that it's not difficult to get a film listed on IMDB and these listings look suspicious, I think we need another source. Lagringa 20:50, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I looked up a few of the latter ones randomly and they are legit. Arbusto 22:30, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Where did you find them? Lagringa 23:52, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Various sites searching through google. Arbusto 05:12, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

 * A google search for "The Pitcairn Story: Mutineers in Paradise," for example, turns up 10 hits. All of them are based on IMDB, and none have any info beyond Cunningham's credit. Lagringa 18:11, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

 * This video was produced, it was a documentary, a simple project to highlight the Pitcairn story, just like the title said. Independent films aren't documented as well as studio projects, hence there's little mention of it. There's no need to wonder why IMDB is the only source. Keiko234 00:15, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * How do you know Keiko? I cant find anything on that either?--<IP_ADDRESS> 16:01, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I searched for "pacific mercy ships" which claims to be a TV movie, but there is no reference to it ever having been on TV - however I find this in a google search http://www.marinereach.com/about.aspx?m=main - were these "TV" movies actually ever shown on TV?? I dont think they were in the US, unless maybe as a paid promotion?? if so that should be noted.--<IP_ADDRESS> 22:25, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Here is some more information on an email address for "Mercy Ships" - from the "Domain Directory of Christian Organizations" on the internet. This is apparently a YWAM-related enterprise. If this movie was made with support from Youth With a Mission, it should be so noted. "MercyShips (YWAM) " --Boscobiscotti 17:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Boscobiscotti (talk • contribs) 17:23, 12 April 2007 (UTC).

 * looked up credits for David Cunningham at the directors' guild of america website. (films he is credited with making. Though his name is present, no films are listed there. No agent is listed. I am very curious about this claim of 40 films. If these were student films, or promotional religous films - that should be noted. see

 * I suggest that the following revisions be made- claim of 40 documentaries made be removed, and all films prior to 1998 be removed - and moved to talk page, until any documentation of them can be found. responses?--Boscobiscotti 05:27, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Need for cleaning "references"
news.yahoo.com/s/huffpost/20060909/cm_huffpost/029015 is an opinion column and should not be used as a reference of anything BUT opinion. Kukini 16:51, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm confused - is this a policy of some kind? The fact that a writer chooses to make their point of view explicit shouldn't invalidate the factual information provided. I understand that a highly biased source may be unreliable, but complete objectivity shouldn't be required. In any case, that source contains very little opinion compared to facts. Lagringa 20:16, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Max B used quotes taken out of context to base his article upon. this is the official statement of YWAM and University of the Nations. These statements refute Max's thesis. Youth With A Mission Statement

Youth With A Mission (YWAM) is a non profit, international and interdenominational Christian organization. We are responsible for hundreds of health clinics, orphanages and schools around the world. We have a special emphasis on the developing world and are completely staffed by unpaid volunteers from 150 nations.

We are not affiliated with any American political party and have no political agenda in that or any nation. We had no part in any funding of the ABC mini series THE PATH TO 9/11.

John Dawson, President of Youth With A Mission International Auckland, New Zealand

University of the Nations Statement

University of the Nations is a an international University with campuses in over 100 countries. It is affiliated with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) and has a special emphasis on bringing education to the developing world. Alumnus David Cunningham has opened doors for many of our film students. One of those opportunities was an internship for 6 of our students on the set of the mini series THE PATH TO 9/11. Our students had the privilege to observe parts of the production phase of the movie David directed.

We have not contributed financially at any level to the TV movie THE PATH TO 9/11 and don't have any political affiliations in the many countries where our branches are located.

 * As I stated, I don't see how there is any problem with the original references. The original sources for that article are available in the google cache. The users who are deleting the content have not attempted to defend their position, so I am at a loss to resolve this conflict. Lagringa 00:05, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I reverted the page. An opinion column meets WP:RS. I am a little worried that a new user signed up and seems only focused on removing content rather than improving the article. Arbusto 22:25, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * This is my concern as well. This user, Keiko...appears dead set on deleting others' contributions without appropriate agreement on this talk page. Also, I am not against blogs being used as references, nor of opinion columns, as long as they are cited as such.Kukini 00:27, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I will add another warning and turn this matter over to an admin. Edit warring is not the way to make contributions. The so called "blog" is from Yahoo a WP:RS, but other references like CNN and the organizations tied to Cunningham are also being removed. Arbusto 02:23, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I reverted the changes again. Removing content and notations that the school is unaccredited, and that the film organization has made past claims (that stuff is cached at google still) is not acceptable. Major content changes must be discussed here for consensus. Arbusto 05:09, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

How does Cyrus' view have anything to do with David. People in one office can have different beliefs, and to bring another's comments, especially politically charged ones is quite inappropriate for a biography. This material still belongs to the pages on which the subject is all about. Using links to opinions that directly contradict factual information such as how the movie was intiated is also polictical. I still believe those links should be removed. Keiko234 17:22, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Considering that directing Path the 9/11 is the only thing of note the man has done, it was be strange to leave it out. Based on the changes you have been making, it seems you are perfectly happy to have the topic addressed here, as long as it portrays Cunningham in a completely favorable light. The fact that a topic is political does not mean it should be excluded. The man directed a highly controversial political movie, so of course politics are going to come up in his bio. Lagringa 18:48, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

 * As to the "opinions that directly contradict factual information," all the information you object to is based on reliable sources. If you have factual information based on reliable sources, it can be included as well. Lagringa 18:48, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree with Lagringa. Since he claims it is apolitical and it is referenced than claims the writer made are also worthy of inclusion. Also Keiko234 please read WP:TE. Arbusto 19:38, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I removed the ~tag which was quite misused here, if there's a dispute about the content of the article, please see Resolving disputes. Equendil Talk 00:57, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

According to this section of Wiki, I should be able to delete the quote that indicates Untitled History Project was initiated by YWAM, TFI or David. '' Editors should remove any negative material that is either unsourced or relies upon sources that do not meet standards specified in Wikipedia:Reliable sources from any page, including those concerning living persons and related talk pages, without discussion; this is also listed as an exception to the three-revert rule. This principle also applies to biographical material about living persons found anywhere in Wikipedia. Administrators may enforce the removal of unsourced material with page protection and blocks, even if they have been editing the article themselves. Editors who re-insert the material may be warned and blocked. See the blocking policy and Wikipedia:Libel.'' —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keiko234 (talk • contribs)
 * Are you saying the material is unsourced or just poorly sourced? Addhoc 20:57, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

It is poorly sourced. The comments were taken out of context to "prove" Max's thesis. Those are the comments I want removed <IP_ADDRESS> 21:18, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Ok, you are saying the following material from the article:

 * In a Yahoo.com News opinion column, Max Blumenthal (author for The Nation) reported, in June 2005 Cunningham's TFI announced it was producing its first film, titled "Untitled History Project." From a TFI volunteer's website, members read: "Simply being referred to as: The Untitled History Project, it is already being called the television event of the decade and not one second has been put to film yet." By July 2005 the New York Post noted, "At the moment, ABC officials are calling the miniseries 'Untitled Commission Report' and producers refer to it as the 'Untitled History Project."

 * Isn't supported by this extract:

 * Before The Path to 9/11 entered the production stage, Disney/ABC contracted David Cunningham as the film's director. Cunningham is no ordinary Hollywood journeyman. He is in fact the son of Loren Cunningham, founder of the right-wing evangelical group Youth With A Mission (YWAM). The young Cunningham helped found an auxiliary of his father's group called The Film Institute (TFI), which, according to its mission statement, is "dedicated to a Godly transformation and revolution TO and THROUGH the Film and Televisionindustry." As part of TFI's long-term strategy, Cunningham helped place interns from Youth With A Mission's in film industry jobs "so that they can begin to impact and transform Hollywood from the inside out," according to a YWAM report.

 * Last June, Cunningham's TFI announced it was producing its first film, mysteriously titled "Untitled History Project." "TFI's first project is a doozy," a newsletter to YWAM members read. "Simply being referred to as: The Untitled History Project, it is already being called the television event of the decade and not one second has been put to film yet. Talk about great expectations!" (A web edition of the newsletter was mysteriously deleted yesterday but has been cached on Google at the link above).

 * The following month, on July 28, the New York Post reported that ABC was filming a mini-series "under a shroud of secrecy" about the 9/11 attacks. "At the moment, ABC officials are calling the miniseries 'Untitled Commission Report' and producers refer to it as the 'Untitled History Project,'" the Post noted.

 * Early on, Cunningham had recruited a young Iranian-American screenwriter named Cyrus Nowrasteh to write the script of his secretive "Untitled" film. Not only is Nowrasteh an outspoken conservative, he is also a fervent member of the emerging network of right-wing people burrowing into the film industry with ulterior sectarian political and religious agendas, like Cunningham.

 * Addhoc 21:27, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm saying that the extract has incorrect information that uses quotes out of context. For example, several other references refute the assertion that David recruited Cyrus, or that Cyrus is a right-winger. The article also implies that TFI, David, or YWAM intitiated the project, all of which is false.Keiko234 21:40, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for clarifying. Could you supply references to demonstrate this. Addhoc 21:42, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Keiko234 on this, and think it's ridiculous to have to address Blumenthal's nakedly aggressive accusations as if they are facts. For example, he repeatedly uses POV words such as "secretive" and "mysterious" to insinuate a sinister agenda behind the making of the miniseries - as if a $40 million project on a major network could run under the radar. In fact, as everyone in Hollywood knows, projects are frequently called "Untitled" quite simply because a title has not been decided upon. The New York Post mention of "a shroud of secrecy" (which I don't see sourced) probably refers to the fact that ABC was, at the time, in competition with NBC's own version of a miniseries based on the Commission Report; this is common practice in business competition (Does Macy's tell Gimbel's?) and not evidence of a conspiracy. As Keiko234 points out (and sources) below, Mr. Nowrasteh is not "an outspoken conservative," nor "a fervent member of the emerging network of right-wing people burrowing into the film industry with ulterior sectarian political and religious agendas" (where is Mr. Blumenthal's sourcing for this outrageous and even libelous accusation?), nor was he "recruited" by Mr. Cunningham - he was hired by the producers well before a director was chosen. I will be happy to provide sourcing for this tomorrow when I have more time, but it seems to me that it should be up to Mr. Blumenthal and his supporters to prove his inflammatory allegations first. Actually, Wikipedia shouldn't even be the place to settle the controversy; a balanced DESCRIPTION of the controversy that adheres to the facts should be enough. Bartleby007 07:13, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

These are the errors in Max Blumental's article, I would hope to apply the same principle as baseball, where with three strikes, the player goes to sit down. I would like Max's references and contentremoved from David's biography. My arguements are in bold. 1. TFI intiated the movie project. "ABC is the total funder of the $40 million miniseries, a network spokesperson said. The miniseries lists UHP Productions Ltd. as a producer; the company stands for Untitled History Project and was set up by ABC for bookkeeping purposes. " from Hal Boedeker at Orlando Sentinel 2. Early on, Cunningham had recruited a young Iranian-American screenwriter named Cyrus Nowrasteh to write the script of his secretive "Untitled" film. This has been shown as false information 3. Labeling Cyrus Nowrasteh as right-wing conservative. Refuted by Nowrasteh in a Wall Street Journal article, also included in the references. 4.  Liberty Film Festival responded to Max's article. Jason Apuzzo writes "I’m trying to understand Mr. Blumenthal’s claims of “ulterior sectarian political and religious agendas” when Cyrus is Muslim, Marc Platt and David Horowitz are Jewish, David Cunningham is Christian, Govindini’s Hindu and I’m an agnostic. That’s quite a religious conspiracy!" 5. Just because the TFI referenced the Untitled History Project first, in June 2005, doesn't mean anything more than a family getting excited about a film project that David was working on. Quotes without context often create a different perception than the truth. I respectfully ask that any references to the Untitled History Project be revealed as a title chosen by ABC and that it was not intiated by David, TFI or YWAM. Keiko234 00:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC) edited again by <IP_ADDRESS> 21:18, 22 September 2006 (UTC)Other references are added in the discussion above and in Edward Wyatt's NewYork Times article. I'll get more references, but have to get back to work again.Keiko234 22:40, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Remembering 9/11
I am placing Mr. Cunningham's Filmography before the formerly titled Remembering 9/11 section, because it makes no sense to place the latter before even mentioning that Mr. Cunningham directed The Path to 9/11, nor did the title Remembering 9/11 make sense in this context, so I retitled it "Controversy: The Path to 9/11". I am also introducing Mr. Nowrasteh's article with a mention of the controversy surrounding that film, because otherwise there is no context whatsoever for his article here. I am also providing a citation for the article. Furthermore, I don't believe it's necessary to print the entire article on this page, just the section relevent to Mr. Cunningham. Please discuss here if anyone has objections or would like clarification. Bartleby007 16:22, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I read the above, then noted that nearly the entire article had been deleted and replaced. Feel free to rearrange and add information in. Please be careful about not adding in copyrighted material as well. Kukini 16:44, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Relevance Edits
I moved Filmography before The Path to 9/11 section, for logic's sake. I deleted quite a bit of the The Path to 9/11 section which is not relevant to Cunningham himself (for example, large chunks about the writer Cyrus Nowrasteh, and a comment about how the miniseries was promoted in Europe) and that is already covered very extensively on The Path to 9/11 and Nowrasteh pages; I did, however, rewrite the intro to that section succinctly explaining the controversy and left sections that ARE relevant to Cunningham. And I added a long quotation from Nowrasteh's WSJ article that addresses attacks on Cunningham (someone had previously inserted the entire article, which is irrelevant except for the Cunningham paragraph).
 * Hi. Please don't forget to sign your posts on talk pages. I am not sure I am in agreement with the deletion of that large section, but will leave this up to discussion among the editors here. My vote is to put it back in, as it is the first truely high profile work of Mr. Cunningham, from my vantage point. Kukini 18:01, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * After reading and indenting tht block quote, I replaced the "controversy" half of the controversy section, to allow equity in voices in said controversy. Especially when words like "hysteria" are used in defense of the choices made in the creation of the film. Kukini 18:08, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * IP User <IP_ADDRESS> made a number of large revisions and deletions along the above line with no discussion nor any edit summaries. I have given this editor a brief break from editing to reconsider her/his approach. Kukini 18:23, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I cleaned up the POV spike of the word "mysterious," as I didn't see it prior to now. Kukini 20:21, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

 * "A spokesperson from ABC clarified the network provided the entire funding of $40 million for the miniseries.

Proposal to trim a sentence
Could I suggest the following sentence should be removed as it does provide any meaningful further information:

The Path to 9/11 Controversy
This section seems to talk about Cyrus Nowrasteh as much as it does about Cunningham. This doesn't seem right, especially as it seems to want to push Nowrasteh's spoken positions (or propaganda, to many), which certainly most properly belongs in his article. This article should concentrate on Cunningham, shouldn't it? Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 22:30, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree that this entry should focus on Mr. Cunningham. I completely disagree that it "seems to want to push Nowrasteh's spoken positions (or propaganda, to many)," - on the contrary, the brief summary of Mr. Nowrasteh's statement is in defense of Mr. Cunningham, and so therefore it IS relevant to this page. I fail to see how Mr. Nowrasteh's statement is more propagandistic than Mr. Blumenthal's assertions. Bartleby007 00:43, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

It is clear from your contribution history that you're here to push a bias within a narrow subject area. However, due to Wikipedia rules, I will not engage in political discussions. Since we're referring to this article, I think we can agree that the paragraph should concentrate on Cunningham. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 05:54, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

As I pointed out, but which you ignored, Mr. Nowrasteh's statement regards Mr. Cunningham and therefore is relevant. And I take offense at your accusation that I am "pushing a bias." Go to an administrator with proof that I am pushing a bias or apologize. My contributions have well-reasoned arguments. However, I have noticed that some on Wikipedia quickly resort to accusations of bias when they disagree or don't have well-reasoned responses. Bartleby007 01:06, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Can we discuss the claim that supporters of Path to 9/11 praised its "factual accuracy"? My reading shows they more praised it for "gripping story line" or "call to action". Can someone who supports this claim please source it?--Boscobiscotti 17:40, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Clinton
Why are we trying to put Clinton's biography in this article? A concise statement is all that is needed. Opinions belong on the blogs, this is a POV statement which is out of place here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs)

 * Umm, a counterpoint clause is not a biography. Please stop reverting this important point. Realize that I will not stop adding it, of course, adhering to Wikipedia rules. Stevie is the man!  Talk • Work 18:09, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

The Clinton statement really belongs in other places in the encyclopedia. Having a counter point isn't necessary here. It is sufficient to say there is a controversy, and leave it at that. Including it brings in POV rather than enchancing David's biography.Keiko234 08:04, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Perhaps, but it is peculiar that we're speaking about a full paragraph devoted to Nowrasteh rather than Cunningham. OK, accepting your position, I revised again to remove POV about Clinton administration responses by qualifying what they wanted removed or changed. That should be all right. Stevie is the man!

MedCab
I look, but I don't see. And I'm unfamiliar with the Wikipedia rule that says that "Mediation" means that one group of editors get to decide that parts of an article are not subject to further editing by future editors.

The characterization of Blumenthal's article that was in the article leaves out the actual criticism of Cunningham and TCI--not that they named the film, but that they thought of it as part of their project to advance an extreme ideology. To leave out this information is a violation of WP:NPOV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nareek (talk • contribs)

 * Hi Nareek, ok fair comment, I haven't put up the usual MedCab boiler template. However, the paragraph in question was discussed on this talk page. Regarding your comments, I would remind you this article has to comply with WP:BLP and WP:NPOV. In this context would you explain in more detail your concerns. Thanks, Addhoc 13:25, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

 * My understanding is that with controversial subjects, WP should allow all sides to make their best arguments. With this article, a lot of effort has been put into taking out one side's best arguments--on the grounds that they contain errors of interpretation. (No one is arguing that Blumenthal is fabricating evidence, only that he is misinterpreting it.)

 * One side will always interpret evidence differently than the other--if they didn't, there wouldn't be too sides. Yet here these differences in interpretation have been cited as grounds for eliminating Blumenthal's main point--which is that, in his view, Cunningham is part of an extreme movement that is attempting to promote radical changes in U.S. society by burrowing into the film industry.

 * Now, you're free to think he's all wet. You're not, however, as a Wikipedia editor, free to pretend that he's not making that argument, because his argument is the core of the very vocal and widespread critique of Cunningham's film. It's clearly a valid POV that deserves to be represented as it's actually made, not in a seriously truncated form that's far easier to dismiss.

 * On this basis, I would like to replace the paragraph that provides a dim sense of what Blumenthal is saying with the one that was here earlier that actually spelled out his argument. Nareek 00:29, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I think you have made some good points here. Perhaps there is some way of writing this so it represents moderation between views of editors here? Kukini 00:37, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

This article is becoming more rather than less POV. As it stands now, it is a rebuttal to criticisms made against Cunningham without those criticisms being stated clearly. I'm going to put back the summary of the Blumenthal article that I had put in earlier, and take out the "in reality" paragraph that improperly has Wikipedia taking a side in this debate. I hope this isn't seen as contrary to the "mediation" process. Nareek 14:22, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

 * The version prior to your involvement included these criticisms.Your involvement was initially to remove the Yahoo reference and then remove the relevant sentence on the grounds it wasn't referenced. Again, you appear to have removed the criticism and now are proposing your solution to this 'problem'. In each case the problem is purely of your own devising and the solution is your summary of the Blumenthal article. In future could you be slightly more straightforward in proposing changes. Thanks, Addhoc 14:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I think you're confusing my edits with someone else's. Nareek 15:23, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I too am an unpaid volunteer that is keeping a close eye on this content. I'm not relying on Max's article that is proven to be wrong on several counts. Several points have already been made in this discussion earlier, and they are the reasons religious slander is being removed from David's biography. The assumption all Christians are right-wingers set to take over the country is the worldview I'm getting from some contributors. This is not the place to debate it or to prove it.

Keiko234 19:00, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Whoa, whoa, whoa--The Nation article is certainly not saying that all Christians are right-wingers, it is saying that these particular organizations are part of a movement that has a particular political agenda. It's by removing this crucial background that you can portray Blumenthal as motivated by religious bigotry (ala the WSJ cite) and not by political disagreement.

 * This article has got to accurately and fairly present both sides of the controversy over this director's career. Otherwise it's not a Wikipedia article but rather a PR handout.

 * Could we get a show of hands, please, about how many editors here have a personal connection to the subject of this article? Nareek 19:19, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Ok, I don't have any connection. Addhoc 19:47, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Putting David into the right-wing box is the same principle, assumptions were made. How does his religion constitute his political belief? <IP_ADDRESS> 02:31, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * If you criticize the Berrigan brothers because you don't like the idea of unilateral disarmament, that doesn't make you anti-Christian--even though their views on war are directly connected to their interpretation of Christianity. It's the same principle.

 * It's important to keep in mind that the question for us as editors is not, would we make these criticisms of David Cunningham? The question, rather, is what criticisms have been made.

 * Certainly Wikipedia does not label one side in an argument a "conspiracy theory" while designating the other side as "reality"--as the current edit does.

 * I notice that you're not answering the question of whether you have a direct personal interest in the subject of this article. This is a perfectly valid question, directly related to Wikipedia policy. See WP:VAIN, WP:AUTO. Nareek 10:24, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Neither of those Wikipedia articles apply in this case. Also I'm a volunteer. <IP_ADDRESS> 17:01, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Do they not apply because you don't have a personal connection to David Cunningham, or for some other reason? And a volunteer for what? We're all volunteers here. Nareek 23:55, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * It means that I'm not a paid contributor. As for vanity articles, it refers to autobiographies and that isn't the case here. This statement does not apply to me: "Initial author not to be an owner, employee of, or investor in the company; likewise, an article about a little-known musician or band should preferably not be by the musician, a member, or a manager, roadie, groupie, etc"<IP_ADDRESS> 04:23, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Once again, you fail to answer the question of whether you are David Loren Cunningham or a personal associate. Which more or less answers the question. Nareek 12:30, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

 * That is another assumption. Just believe there are other ways to get information. Such as an investigative journalist.<IP_ADDRESS> 16:33, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Organizing The Film Institute separately makes the distinction that it is a non-profit company. <IP_ADDRESS> 16:46, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

 * The question of whether an editor has a personal stake in an article really is one that Wikipedia has to ask. Since you repeatedly decline to answer this question, other editors do have to draw the natural conclusion and edit accordingly. Nareek 18:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

"Offensive"
The latest justification for removing criticism of David Loren Cunningham is that it is "offensive". There is nothing offensive about criticizing someone's politics; the 1st Amendment was placed in the Constitution for the explicit purpose of allowing us to freely criticize each others' politics. Clearly, no one likes being criticized; they may well be offended by the criticism. That does not make the criticism "offensive".

Here's more on Cunningham and Christian Reconstructionism:

"Covering Their Tracks" by David Neiwert, Orcinus, September 8, 2006.

Nareek 01:52, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

It's not about being offensive, it's about the assumptions. Assuming policital or religious beliefs just because of the movie and the quotes without context is fodder for blogs, not his biography. Religious labeling is all that is happening here. Bringing in Christian Reconstructionism into the biography is based on opinion, not fact, derived from opinions of others. Just because somebody said it, doesn't make it true. Biographies must be right, it has a higher standard than other parts of Wikipedia. There are a lot of holes in the articles discovering a "cover-up." Especially when it comes to the money. ABC certainly started the project, it paid for it, and there's documentation to that effect, just not on the internet. David was hired by ABC as a director. There's no right-wing conspiracy folks, this is just a labeling game.Keiko234 07:44, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi, I should have replied here earlier. For the avoidance of doubt this article should fully comply with WP:BLP. Also, I would comment the legal opinions expressed by Nareek are overly simplistic. Addhoc 13:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

 * You misunderstand how Wikipedia works. It's not our job to determine which side in a controversy we find more persuasive; it's our job to summarize all sides in the controversy. This means the opinions on all sides of the controversy; the fact that positions are "based on opinion" does not mean that they do not belong in Wikipedia. Truth is not the criterion we use for inclusion; verifiability is. (The higher standard of avoiding libel is certainly met here; criticism of a public figure's political associations is wholly protected under the First Amendment.) Nareek 11:19, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

So just because I know about TFI from a distance means I'm in conflict of interest? <IP_ADDRESS> 17:33, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * You repeatedly refuse to answer the question as to whether you have a direct personal connection to the only article that you have edited on Wikipedia. I can only assume that the answer is "yes" and act accordingly. Nareek 18:13, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Does meeting David face-to-face for the first time after the 9/11 film count? I'm more aware of the surrounding issue, not a personal acquaintance. I've done research and learned more. If the shoe was on the other foot, how would you answer the same question you've asked me? I just did the research on Wikipedia to see why your question was valid and felt it didn't need the detail you seem to require.<IP_ADDRESS> 05:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I have to admit that your succession of evasive answers makes me skeptical of a question answered with another question rather than with a statement. Be that as it may, whether you're David Loren Cunningham, a friend of his or merely an acquaintance, you're still obligated to edit on Wikipedia like he's a stranger to you. The goal of a Wikipedia article is not to construct a rebuttal to arguments that we disagree with. The goal of a Wikipedia article is to present both or all sides of the argument fully and fairly. This is especially true when the controversy is one that attracted national attention and became a major political issue. If we don't explain the thinking that lies behind that argument--whether or not we personally believe that thinking to be wrong-headed--then we are remiss in our obligations as Wikipedians. And whether you came here with the intention of serving as an advocate for Cunningham or not, when you started editing Wikipedia you assumed those obligations. Nareek 05:17, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

 * P.S. To answer your question directly, I am not anyone mentioned in the article, I am not acquainted with anyone mentioned in the article, nor have I ever communicated with anyone mentioned in the article. Assuming that you're not mentioned in the article. Nareek 05:23, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

 * This was the earlier answer to your question on who I was: "As for vanity articles, it refers to autobiographies and that isn't the case here [That means I'm not David]. This statement does not apply to me: "Initial author not to be an owner, employee of, or investor in the company; likewise, an article about a little-known musician or band should preferably not be by the musician, a member, or a manager, roadie, groupie, etc"<IP_ADDRESS> 04:23, 9 October 2006 (UTC)" That's the research from the vanity article. I didn't fit into any of those categories, therefore Wikipedia's policy was satisfied. So hopefully your question is now put to rest.<IP_ADDRESS> 06:18, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for providing clarification, your contribution to this article is appreciated. Addhoc 13:11, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

neutrality
What is legitimate criticism? If an untrue statement is written about a person, can that really become verifiable for Wikipedia purposes? Even journalism standards are much higher than that. When an opinion column writes several statements later proven false, it should seen as poorly sourced and removed from the biography.

In a biography, it is important to stay away from putting people in boxes, labeling them with political or religious slang as if it were fact. "Jettison the constitution" is very inflamatory and reveals religious bigotry. Keiko234 19:05, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia recognizes that people have different views of what is true and false, which is why it strives to include multiple points of view rather than leaving editors to limit articles to their preferred viewpoints. The criticism that Keiko seeks to include is notable and deserves to be included. People definitely have strong views, both pro and con, on Christian Reconstructionism, but that's no reason to pretend that it doesn't exist--or to accuse those who think it's important to talk about of religious bigotry.

 * By the way, Blumenthal's piece is not an opinion column--it's a news article for the U.S.'s oldest news magazine. It does have a point of view, which does not disqualify it either from being journalism or from being a source for Wikipedia. Nareek 19:20, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Even in a nationally recognized magazine, there's opinion columns, this is one of them.<IP_ADDRESS> 04:10, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, The Nation has opinion columns, and they're labeled "Comment". Blumenthal's piece is labeled "Article." Compare and . Nareek 16:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I am coming late to this controversy. I am not sure what the talk about religious bigotry is about.I have attempted to add sources which largely include the participants own words. I think that it is important that a person's stated goals about their profession be included. This is a simple recognition that a filmmaker's goals are meaningful in the context of what they produce. Unfortunately it looks like some sources have been removed from the web, such as markandkrista.com, and a YWAM founders statement. In reference to TFI we are left with only a few sources which captured caches of the original, and articles such as Blumenthals. --<IP_ADDRESS> 21:20, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Keiko234
Peace to you. Perhaps some misunderstanding is occuring.

I just added some verifiable references to the David L Cunningham page, and you removed them all with no notes in the talk page. I am not sure, but it appears that you did a massive edit to the page, reverting many, many changes. As far as I know, this is not being a good wikipedian. I think that this massive change should be undone, and if you have any issues, they should be discussed point by point.

here is some information from the wikipedia Revert page: Do

See also Wikipedia policy should follow the spirit of ahimsa

* Reverting is a decision which should be taken seriously. * Reverting is used primarily for fighting vandalism, or anything very similar to the effects of vandalism. * If you are not sure whether a revert is appropriate, discuss it first rather than immediately reverting or deleting it. * If you feel the edit is unsatisfactory, improve it rather than simply reverting or deleting it.

Don't

* Do not simply revert changes that are made as part of a dispute. Be respectful to other editors, their contributions and their points of view. Do not revert changes simply because someone makes an edit you consider problematic, biased, or inaccurate. Improve the edit, rather than reverting it. * Here is a quotation on sourcing. I used a "primary source" - also did changes to mark unsourced comments in this article as uncited. I also put things in a chronological order. I included factual material. I included a first-hand account.

'''Primary Sources are documents or people very close to the situation you are writing about. An eyewitness account of a traffic accident published in a newspaper, and the White House's summary of a president's speech are primary sources. Primary source material that has been published by a reliable source may be used for the purposes of attribution in Wikipedia '''

You appear to have reverted to a version which does not even have the POV check in it! I have edited to insert that. Let us discuss this. Do you agree to revert your massive change, and then discuss what your issues are with this?--Boscobiscotti 08:18, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

one more comment for you keiko '''Removal of sourced edits made in a neutral narrative is disruptive

8) It is disruptive to remove statements that are sourced reliably, written in a neutral narrative, and pertain to the subject at hand.'''--Boscobiscotti 08:47, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

'''Added in references. If you have questions about them, let's talk more. It's hard to research old TV documentaries, but that doesn't mean they aren't real. Seems like IMDB would be considered a source for this information. That was one reason for the revert.Keiko234

 * HI Keiko234 - I removed the section about documentaries in 40 countries. I also asked for additional third party help about the films which are not adequately sourced, and apparently "made" starting when the director was 20. do you know anything about these? were they student films? I think we need someone with experience in film biographies to help. For example, when I was 8 and a child in NY I played Ophelia in a 3rd grade production. If I later become an actor, can I add "Ophelia - Stage production - 1979 - NYC"to my resume? doubtful. I still think these old unsourced titles should be removed. --Boscobiscotti 04:42, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

'''Here are my sources for several films: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Films/List_of_films_without_article/List_of_missing_Canada_Films:K-Q) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Films/List_of_films_without_article/List_of_missing_Canada_Films:R-Z) http://www.dancoplan.com/resume.htm) http://starbulletin.com/2000/05/22/features/story2.html Keiko234

 * Ok lets look at those references one by one. the one with the most useful information is
 * * http://starbulletin.com/2000/05/22/features/story2.html It gives some great information about Beyond Paradise and 'To End all Wars, but it says:

"To End All Wars" is only the second feature film Cunningham has directed. The first, "Beyond Paradise," was a coming-of-age film... So we know that these 'documentaries' were not feature-length, possibly student films, possibly self-financed, and never distributed? * We also have these two at wikipedia: which are lists of films which have not been verified as existing or being notable. This indicates that the films listed are still questionable, and gives evidence that they should not be included yet. Wikipedia:WikiProject_Films/List_of_films_without_article/List_of_missing_Canada_Films:K-Q Wikipedia:WikiProject_Films/List_of_films_without_article/List_of_missing_Canada_Films:R-Z * this one http://www.dancoplan.com/resume.htm is a self-published website listing someones resume again. So, In sum, I am starting to believe these documentaries were short, undistributed, self-financed films. I will change the filmography to note this.--Boscobiscotti 16:51, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Kieko - More information on notability see this:Notability_%28films%29 - It is questionable whether these films are notable under these criteria - However if we properly label them as student films, self-financed, or financed by his father as the case may be, then it improves on the tacit assumption of a casual reader that the films were distributed in some way. and this Wikipedia_talk:Notability_%28films%29 which indicates that IMDB is not a useful source for notability. There are not exact standards - perhaps we can get a moderator with experience in film biography to evaluate? --Boscobiscotti 17:15, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

'''Where's the proof these are self-financed films? I don't see it in the reference. They are mostly like videos used once on television stations, two of them in Canada, hard to know where the others were done. <IP_ADDRESS>
 * Hmm. Ok. Maybe better is "The following are short films about which little is known. There is no record of their existence other than self-published websites. There is no evidence of any public showings. They may be student films, short promotional films financed by Youth With A Mission (Pacific Mercy Ships) or small budget self-financed films, but due to lack of any reliable source, it is clear that they achived no major distribution.--Boscobiscotti 18:26, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Third Opinion on Filmography
I've tried looking up the films listed, and found next to no information on them. The current iteration of the filmography section, which reads: The following are short films about which little is known. There is no record of their existence other than self-published websites. There is no record of any public showings. They may be student films, short promotional films financed by Youth With A Mission (Pacific Mercy Ships) or small budget self-financed films, but due to lack of any source of reliable information about them it is clear that they achived no major distribution:

* Baja 1000 (1996) * Walkabout Australia (1996) (V) * Pacific Mercy Ships (1995) * Passport to the World (1993) * Target World (1992) * The Pitcairn Story: Mutineers in Paradise (1991) ...seems to be a good middle ground between deleting the information altogether and giving it too great an importance. I recommend keeping the article like this. Snuppy 21:11, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

'''Here's a comment from the IMDB website. Seems to point to some distribution with WalkaboutAustralia: Great way to see the outback, 21 November 2000 7/10 Author: homeybobo from Saint Louis This movie (found at my library) did more than show me the outback from a travelers point of view. This movie also showed me the two cultures inhabiting this large country. I am not sure how true to life the people are, cause I have never been there. But it didnt seem too off key in relation too the books descriptions. another plus was the cinamatography was fun. great native critter photography. was worth watching just for these aspects. Keiko234 (second attempt to sign)
 * See this other comment from IMDB website - points to suspcion about these "films" :)
 * I wonder if there's something going on here?, 8 September 2006
 * Author: Bill Minnich from United States
 * So here we see six "films" by David L. Cunningham that were supposed to have been created before :1998. And what do we have? A tagline, and a producer (and sometimes writer), David L. Cunningham.
 * No cast, no crew, no plot, not even a running time.
 * It kind of makes you wonder just how much actual filmwork went into the creation of Mr Cunningham's :ouvre, doesn't it?

So - Keiko - the point is that anonymous forum posts are generally not considered a reliable source of information at wikipedia. Anyone can create an account and post anything. No fact checking. I will search and find a reference for this if you like. There are some facts here. It is true that David L Cunningham claims on his website to have made 40 documentaries. It is true that it has been extremely difficult for you or me to find any independent confirmation of this fact. It is true that some are listed in IMDB. It is also true that wikipedia does not consider IMDB by itself to be a reliable source for notability of a film. I still believe that these titles should be removed. Because even the disclaimer is original research. Please read these articles which give guidelines "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth."Verifiability

WP:NOR.)--Boscobiscotti 16:33, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Just give it time. Most of these will be verified the way Wikipedia wants it...more research is needed. I am friends with people that met David while doing these films, and I can't use their testimony on Wikipedia...so...yup it's going to take some newspaper searching. <IP_ADDRESS>

So whats your whole suggestion here? Saksjn (talk) 19:20, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

2017 Broadway
It had a limited national tour in November 2017. The tour featured Erik Gratton as Buddy, with direction by Sam Scalamoni and choreography by Connor Gallagher. There was also a late 2017 tour until January 14, 2018 in The Lowry theatre in Salford, with Ben Forster as Buddy. On December 24, 2017, it also aired on Channel 5, after being recorded live at The Lowry.

Due to several "potty" words, the show at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora, Illinois in late November 2017 was changed from a rating of G to PG, with Paramount saying it should have been PG "from the beginning." At the time, it was near breaking the theater's attendance records. It also played in Boston.

Starting on December 13, 2017, it began playing at the Madison Square Garden theater, to be held there until December 29, 2017. With George Wendt playing Santa in New York, TimeOut said it was one of the best Christmas shows in New York that year.

Reception
In 2013, the Washington Post said the musical made the movie look "nuanced." The show in 2015 received mixed reviews from professional critics at publications such as The Guardian. The Guardian didn't much like the 2015 performance, but did praise Ben Forster as Buddy for his "anarchic glee." A New York Times critic described the original Broadway production as “tinseled in synthetic sentiment, performed with a cheer that borders on mania, and instantly forgettable.”

The performance in late 2017 in Aurora received a mostly positive review in the Chicago Sun Times, who said the "immense energy" of the show could be overwhelming, with Kyle Adams as Buddy. The Salt Lake City performance received a mixed to positive review from the Deseret News. A review in Broadway World critic praised it in 2017 in Boston, and observed that children in the show seemed to love the production and pay rapt attention, with Erik Gratton in the title role praised for his performance as Buddy. The English production was well-reviewed by the Manchester Evening News in 2017.

Talk:Infinite element method

Dear all, please correct me if I am wrong; but I think the article mixes up two different things: Instead, the infinite elements as discussed by Gerdes amend a finite-element region and have an infinite extend in one (or two) directions. With the latter method one can describe problems in unbound domains (e.g. ext. acoustics) given that the asymptotic behaviour is known. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 08:55, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) The infinite element method as discussed by Ying, Lung-an (ref. 1); this is, according to my understanding, consistent with the given explanation.
 * 2) The infinite element method as discussed by Gerdes (and maybe by Autrique, Magoulès (I haven't read their work though)) is another method which has nothing in common with the first one.

Cleanup
Denis Matsuev is doubtless a brilliant and talented pianist, deserving of high praise. But not here. The article is not enyclopedic but rather a fan rave. Matsuev is a significant person and deserves an article, so this article shouldn't be deleted entirely. But it very badly needs cleanup, as the tags say. Peacock words should be avoided. Do not praise or criticize Matsuev yourself. You may report praise or criticism by established academics or critics, BUT NOT BY YOURSELF. And not too much. With the introduction I have given an example of how the article should be cleaned up. J M Rice (talk) 21:23, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I fully concur with the foregoing remarks. Mr. Matsuev is indeed an impressive pianist. But the article comes across almost as though it was written by his PR agency. It needs to be toned down. Cgingold (talk) 15:27, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm, what kind of Peacock words, can any of you be specific? Like, if a specific news source call him such and such I think its factual information, not biased or anything. Or am I wrong here?--Mishae (talk) 19:37, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Peter Scratchley

Major General Sir Peter Henry Scratchley (24 August 1835 – 2 December 1885) was special commissioner for Great Britain in New Guinea 1884–1885 and defence adviser for Australia.

Biography
Scratchley was born in Paris, thirteenth child of Dr James Scratchley, Royal Artillery, and his wife Maria, née Roberts. He was educated in Paris and at the Woolwich academy and then began a career as an Officer of Engineers in the British Army. Scratchley served in the Crimea and Indian Mutiny and in October 1859 was made a captain. He then had several tours of duty in the Australian colonies advising on defence. In 1860 he was sent to Victoria to plan a system of defence for that colony, but after working on this for over three years his plan was not adopted as a whole. Scratchley had, however, constructed batteries around the coast of Port Phillip by expending a comparatively small sum.

Following the withdrawal in 1870 of British garrison troops from Australia, Major General Sir William Jervois and then Lieutenant Colonel Scratchley were commissioned by a group of colonies to advise on defence matters. They inspected each colony's defences and produced the Jervois-Scratchley reports of 1877. Not surprisingly given their engineering backgrounds and the fear in the colonies of potential enemy fleets, the reports emphasised fortifications against naval attack. The Jervois-Scratchley reports formed the basis of defence planning in Australia and New Zealand for the next 30 years.

Among his achievements in Australia were:
 * Founding of the Corps of Engineers in Victoria in 1860
 * The fort on Bare Island, Botany Bay, New South Wales
 * Fort Scratchley, Newcastle, New South Wales
 * Fort Lytton, Brisbane, Queensland
 * Fort Glanville, South Australia — assisted by Alexander Bain Moncrieff
 * Fort Queenscliff, Queenscliff, Victoria

Scratchley retired with the honorary rank of Major-General on 1 October 1882, but was still employed as defence adviser for Australia by the Colonial Office. He was appointed special commissioner for Great Britain in New Guinea in 1884, and arrived there in August 1885. Port Moresby was made the seat of government, questions of land tenure and the cultivation of the land were examined, and good relations were established with many of the natives and with the missionaries. Scratchley soon contracted malaria and died at sea on aboard the Governor Blackall on 2 December 1885. He was buried in Melbourne and then reinterred to the Old Charlton cemetery in England. He left a widow, two daughters and a son.

Honours
Scratchley was created a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George in June 1885.

Scratchley Road in Port Moresby, Mount Scratchley in the Owen Stanley Range near Kokoda in Papua New Guinea, and Fort Scratchley in Newcastle are named in his honour.

The Groke

The Groke (Swedish name Mårran) is a fictional character in the Moomin stories created by Tove Jansson. She appears as a ghost-like, hill-shaped body with two cold staring eyes and a wide row of white shiny teeth beneath a large and wide triangular nose. In the book Who Will Comfort Toffle?, it is mentioned that she has a tail, but it has never been seen. Wherever she stands, the ground below her freezes, plants and grass die and if she stands in place too long the soil itself will die and nothing will ever grow there again. She leaves a trace of ice and snow when she walks the ground. Anything that she touches will freeze. On one occasion, she froze a campfire by sitting down on it. She seeks friendship and warmth, but she is declined by everyone and everything, leaving her in her cold cavern on top of the Lonely Mountains.

On one occasion in a comic, however, she was hailed as a heroine when she, in her constant search for warmth, extinguished a forest wildfire by sitting on it. In another comic, Sniff has made a magical potion with seemingly random effects. In curiosity, he drips a few drops on an ant which then transforms into the Groke. It is never made clear if this is how the Groke came to be, or if the ant transformed to another creature of the same type.

The Groke is a melancholic and lonely character. Agneta Rehal-Johansson has argued that various other characters, such as Moomintroll or Moominmamma, identify with or are represented by her loneliness.

Books she appears in

 * 3. Finn Family Moomintroll - This is the first appearance of the Groke, and she is generally played as a frightening villain, though Sniff expresses a bit of sympathy for her, at one point moving himself to tears with a speech on how awful it must be to be so alone.
 * 4. The Exploits of Moominpappa - Here, several characters refer to the Groke eating people: the Joxter claims to have a cousin who was eaten by the Groke, and the young Moominpappa saves the Hemulen's Aunt from being eaten by the Groke. She is never actually seen to eat anyone, though, and since the book is written as Moominpappa's memoirs, it's quite possible (and quite in character) that he exaggerated things a little in order to make himself look more heroic.
 * 6. Moominland Midwinter - The Groke makes a couple of cameo appearances, though she comes across as far less villainous and more to be pitied than feared. Too-Ticky even expresses sympathy for her when she wants to warm herself by the fire at the celebration for the sun, and ends up not only scaring everyone away but inadvertently putting out the fire with her own coldness.
 * 8. Moominpappa at Sea - In this work, the Groke keeps on going to Moominpappa's island to beg Moomintroll to show her his lantern flame. This story builds on the new angle of the Groke that Too-Ticky offered in Moominland Midwinter, and is generally seen as the most sympathetic portrayal of her in the books, even containing short passages written from her point of view: constantly craving warmth and light but unable to get either.
 * Who Will Comfort Toffle? - Toffle bites her as he is saving Miffle, though it is not known whether she was holding Miffle hostage or not.
 * Comic strips - While the Groke is not a major character in the strips, she is alluded to several times. The second storyline in the strip, Moomin and the Brigands, features Sniff creating an “Elixir of Life”, which is revealed to turn things into their opposites. After accidentally dumping the potion on a bug, the bug is transformed into a creature resembling the Groke, who chases Sniff before being (presumably) drowned.

Adaptations
There have been various adaptations of the Moomin books on television. The Groke appears differently in the 1969 anime version of the Moomins, where she is depicted as white and depressed. In the Polish Moomin TV series, she is more like the character in the novels, but darker and bestial.

The Japanese-Dutch anime series Moomin includes her as an antagonist. In the Japanese dub, she is referred to as Morran, mirroring her original Swedish name Mårran. She is distinctive from her first appearance in the series for her intimidating appearance and the loud growling sounds that she utters. Dubs in other languages use different growls, as well as different malevolent theme music, which begins to play every time she appears. The Groke's primary introductions were in episode 6, 7 and 22 of the series. It was not until episode 37 that she was presented more sympathetically.

She also appears in the episode "Night of the Groke" in the 2019 series, in which she make a ghostly moaning sound as she slowly slides along, leaving an ice trail behind her as she searches for fire. She is first encountered by Moomintroll, Snufkin, and Sniff, who manage to escape her. Afterwards, the Groke attempts to head to Moominpappa and Moominmamma’s tent, in which they have a fire. Sniff manages to resist his greed and uses a large sheet of ice to put out the fire, but Moomintroll begins feeling sorry for the Groke and leads her out to sea via placing two lanterns on a log.

Clemson University President's Home
The President’s House was built in 1959 to serve as the living quarters for each President at Clemson University. It has been the home to eight different Clemson Presidents and serves as a key location on the University's campus. This is especially the case for new and incoming students because at the beginning of each year, new students are invited to a picnic on the president’s lawn in front of the house. This gives students the chance to meet the President for the first time.

The house is located at 120 Cherry Road in Clemson, South Carolina. When arriving to campus from I-85 (SC) it is the first building people see. Also at night the building has a unique image portrayed on it. Projected on to the building in Clemson Orange is the Tiger Paw logo.

Presidents
Robert Franklin Poole (1940-1958) was the first Clemson president with a degree from the school. He led Clemson through World War II and the difficult times that followed. He is also remembered for laying the foundation for Memorial Stadium to enhance Clemson athletics.

Robert C. Edwards (1958-1979) served the longest term of any of the Clemson presidents. Noted for integrating the school from a military school to a co-educational college. Edwards was first President to live in the President’s House.

Bill L. Atchley (1979-1985) pushed for Clemson to become a more research-oriented institution and laid the ground works for the Strom Thurmond Institute.

Walter T. Cox (1985-1986) was a longtime student affairs administrator who served as president after the resignation of Bill Atchley. Noted for presiding during the NCAA investigation of Clemson football team.

A. Max Lennon (1986-1994) led the university’s first multi-million dollar capital campaign, which was responsible for raising over $101 million dollars to be put towards research.

Phillip H. Prince (1994-1995) was given the task of reconstructing the administrative and academic divisions of Clemson in response to continuous state funding cuts and an effort to redirect funds from administration to academics. Restructured the nine current colleges into five.

Constantine W. Curris (1995-1999) sought to improve the university’s infrastructure by directing resources to information technology, deferred maintenance, and a new energy plant. Led construction of an agriculture biotechnology building and renovations to Fort Hill and the President’s mansion.

James Frazier Barker (1999-2013), the fifth alumnus to serve as president, came to the office with a vision to enhance Clemson’s national reputation and guided the university to its highest national ranking to date (#21 among national public universities in 2013). On-campus facilities added include the Class of 1956 Academic Success Center, the life sciences facility, Rhodes Annex and numerous athletics projects including the WestZone.

James P. Clements (2014- )became Clemson University’s 15th president on December 31, 2013, after serving nearly five years as president of West Virginia University. He succeeded Jim Barker, who retired after 14 years as Clemson’s president. He is also a Professor in the School of Computing, College of Engineering and Science, at Clemson. Clements is a nationally recognized leader in higher education who currently serves as Chair of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities, North America’s oldest higher education association.

=History=

Presidents Home
Built in 1959 to match the design of the Fort Hill Planation, the Mansion is approximately 7,553 square feet. The project, which was funded by the university, was built for the then current president, Robert C Edwards. Built by architects Charles W Fant & Sons Construction Company. The project was finished in fall of 1959 and has been the home to every president of Clemson University ever since its construction. Since its completion, the home has undergone construction in 1976 and 1998. Current President, James P. Clements resides in the home with his wife, Beth, son, Tyler and daughters Hannah, Maggie, and Grace.

Old Presidents Home
The original president’s home was completed in 1893. Originally built by Clemson’s first president, Strode, Craighead was the first to actually live in the house. The second, third, and fourth president’s of Clemson lived in this house, until Walter M. Riggs refused to leave his new, lavish home, for the designated president’s house. After Riggs declined the offer to move into the president’s house, the building was converted to Mell Apartments. In all, the Riggs’ house served as an interim presidential residence for three Clemson presidents (Riggs, Sikes, and Poole. During these years, it was considered faculty housing

Mrs. Poole continued to live in the Riggs’ house, even after her husband passed away. The following president, R. C. Edwards, moved into what is now the current day President’s house. Shortly after Mrs. Poole died, the Riggs’ house was torn down.

Perl Programming/Exercise 5

Temperature Converter
Write a program that takes in a temperature (either Celsius or Fahrenheit) and converts it. The program will know what to convert it to through interpreting the last character in the input string, which will either be an 'F' (for Fahrenheit) or a 'C' (for Celsius). So, for example if the user were to input 10C, the program will output 50F (the output should be to the nearest whole integer). If the end character in the input string is not equivalent to an F or a C, the program should handle the error appropriately.

For extra points, have the program print out its opinion on the temperature. For example, if the user were to input 50F, the program would say "10C, that's cold!".

Sharswood, Philadelphia

Sharswood is a small neighborhood in the North Philadelphia section of the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States. It is located to the east of Brewerytown, north of Girard College, west of Ridge Avenue, east of 24th Street and south of Cecil B. Moore Avenue. It is often grouped with Brewerytown, as in the Brewerytown-Sharswood Community Civic Association, and the Brewerytown-Sharswood NTI Planning Area.

History
In Philadelphia's earliest years, Sharswood had not yet developed as a neighborhood and was part of a larger area of farmland known as the Penn District. Ridge Avenue, which makes up Sharswood's eastern border, was a Lenape trail prior to European settlement.

Sharswood gets its name from Supreme Court of Pennsylvania justice George Sharswood, who once lived in the area. The area was first developed in the 19th century as a streetcar suburb and a home for Irish and German brewery workers who found employment along the banks of the Schuylkill River. The west side of Sharswood was once known as Engelside, because of the Bergner & Engel brewery at 32nd and Thompson Street.

Sharswood took shape as a predominantly African-American neighborhood in the early 20th century, when it experienced population inflows during the Great Migration. A number of notable African-American artists lived in Sharswood, including James B. Davis of The Dixie Hummingbirds and Dox Thrash. Many more artists including Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and Odean Pope frequented the area around Ridge and Columbia Avenue, known for its jazz clubs and nightlife, when visiting or touring in Philadelphia. The Negro Motorist Green Book recommended a number of hotels, restaurants and other establishments in the neighborhood. African-American leaders like Cecil B. Moore and Charles W. Bowser lived in and around the neighborhood.

Sharswood was racially segregated from surrounding white neighborhoods, and it was dangerous for Black residents of Sharswood to travel to neighborhoods like Swampoodle, north of Lehigh Ave, and Fairmount, south of Girard Ave. According to J.M. Brewer's 1934 map of Philadelphia and another map produced by the federal government's Home Owners' Loan Corporation, Sharswood was redlined. According to the area description form that accompanies the 1937 HOLC map of Philadelphia, Sharswood and its adjacent neighborhoods were populated primarily by laborers and mechanics making an average of $900 to $1800 annually ($19,190 to $38,381 in 2023 dollars), with a high number of families on public assistance and a homeownership rate below 10%. Longtime residents say that lawyers, doctors and teachers also lived in the neighborhood. Roberts Vaux Junior High School was built in the neighborhood between 1936 and 1938. Malcolm X briefly lived and worked at a house on the corner of 25th and W Oxford Street for about 6 months in 1954, while serving as the Nation of Islam's minister for Temple 12, located at 1643 North Bailey Street.

The 1964 Columbia Avenue Riot began just north of Sharswood, and spilled over into the neighborhood, devastating local businesses, exacerbating racial tensions and accelerating white flight. In 1967, construction on the Norman Blumberg Apartments was completed between 24th and 22nd, Jefferson, and W Oxford Streets. In 1968, the People's Neighborhood Medical Center opened on 1410 North 24th Street to provide low cost preventative healthcare to low income residents of North Philadelphia. The medical center was founded by Charles P. Vaclavik, a Quaker doctor from Uniontown, Pennsylvania. In the early 1970s, the medical center expanded and employed multiple doctors as well as a dentist. It attracted government funding through the Model Cities Program, as well as other grants. Under Vaclavik's leadership, the medical center took an active role in the community and advocated for addressing the social determinants of health in addition to the practice of medicine.

In the later half of the 20th century, the neighborhood suffered from population decline, deindustrialization and disinvestment, becoming one of the poorest neighborhoods in Philadelphia with a high rate of vacancy and violent crime. Despite endemic poverty in the surrounding neighborhood, the 2400 block of Sharswood Street became renowned in the 1980s for its cleanliness and tight-knit community. An inordinate number of children who grew up on the block went on to find success later in life in a variety of fields. Between 1977 and 1983, Vaux Junior High's chess team, the Bad Bishops, won an unprecedented seven consecutive national junior high school chess championships. In 1979, the team was invited to the White House and attended an international competition in Yugoslavia. Incomes in the neighborhood stagnated during the 20th century. In 1999, Sharswood had a median income of $18,773 ($34,599.45 in 2023 dollars).

The 2013 closure of Roberts Vaux Junior High School and Gen. John F. Reynolds Elementary School further disrupted the neighborhood's social cohesion and exacerbated the socioeconomic problems faced by residents. The closure of Vaux Junior High School was initially meant to be temporary, but plans to reopen it as a public school were scrapped.

Sharswood-Blumberg Neighborhood Transformation Plan
In recent years, the neighborhood has seen significant change under the Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA) Sharswood-Blumberg Neighborhood Transformation Plan. In November 2013, the PHA received a $500,000 grant through the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Choice Neighborhood Initiative to transform the site of the Norman Blumberg Apartments as well as the surrounding Sharswood neighborhood. Condemnation notices for more than 1,300 structures in the greater Sharswood neighborhood were sent out in 2015, and demolitions began shortly after. The PHA refused to complete a federally mandated Section 106 review of historic structures in the project area before issuing demolition orders. Fewer than 150 of the structures condemned in 2015 were occupied. Some occupied properties were wrongly classified by the PHA as vacant. Residents impacted by demolitions complained of rodent infestations as pests fled demolished buildings, as well as dust and vibrations from demolition and construction on adjacent parcels. Some residents also said that they were not given fair compensation for their properties seized through eminent domain, because the PHA did not take into account the cost of interior renovations when appraising the value of residents' homes. The owners of most of the homes seized by the PHA through eminent domain in 2015 did not receive compensation for several years. Many of the properties were appraised by the PHA at values thousands of dollars lower than the city's tax assessment valuation. Owners who contested these valuations had to undergo a lengthy review process.

Reynolds Elementary School was sold, along with four other schools, to the PHA for a total of $3 million in 2014. It has yet to re-open.

Between 2014 and 2016, a group of local gardeners led by Sharswood resident Tommy Joshua had a dispute with the PHA over land near the Blumberg Apartments which they had cleared of debris and turned into a garden called the North Philly Peace Park. The PHA had claimed ownership of the land via eminent domain and intended to build new apartments on it. In 2015, the housing authority fenced off the garden despite protests from residents. In 2016 the gardeners agreed to relocate to a parcel on 22nd and Jefferson Street.

Development in Sharswood began in earnest after the partial demolition of the Blumberg Apartments on March 19, 2016. 500 families were relocated from the Blumberg Apartments prior to demolition, in addition to a number of residents living in the surrounding rowhomes.

In 2016, Philadelphia's School Reform Commission sold the Vaux Junior High School building to the PHA for $2 million. In 2017, Big Picture Learning partnered with the PHA and the School District of Philadelphia to re-open Vaux Junior High School as a charter school offering a non-traditional model of education with a focus on internships and career preparedness for grades 9-12. Though the school is run by an outside education company, its employees are District employees represented by the American Federation of Teachers.

In 2019, the PHA opened a new $45 million headquarters at 2013 Ridge Avenue. Shortly after the new headquarters opened, dissatisfied PHA tenants, neighborhood residents, and others adversely affected by the housing crisis launched #OccupyPHA, a sustained protest outside the Ridge Avenue headquarters. Protestors remained encamped outside the headquarters for five months before disbanding. In 2020, the PHA received another $30 million in federal grants for the redevelopment of the Blumberg site. From June to October, protestors again camped outside of the PHA headquarters, eventually leaving when the PHA agreed to relocate them to nine vacant homes in Strawberry Mansion. The agreement with the protest encampment allowed the PHA to move forward with plans to construct a retail corridor north of its headquarters. An initial proposal for a suburban-style development with a large parking lot surrounding a standalone Save-A-Lot stalled due to disagreements between the developer and its retail tenant over the nature of the development.

In 2022, after the project was redesigned to promote a more walkable, dense environment, a shopping complex which included a Grocery Outlet, a bank and an urgent care facility opened on the parcel at Ridge and 21st. PHA President Kelvin A. Jeremiah said that this was the first grocery store to open in the vicinity of the Sharswood neighborhood since the 1964 Columbia Avenue Riot.

In March 2023, a deputy landlord-tenant officer (a private contractor who was not a sworn law enforcement official) shot Angel Davis, a tenant at the Girard Court Apartments, in the head while serving Davis and her husband with an eviction. Outcry over a string of shootings in 2023 by landlord-tenant officers, including this one, led to a temporary suspension of the landlord-tenant office's contract to serve evictions. During the suspension, evictions were served by the Sheriff's Office.

Kirkstall railway station

Kirkstall was a railway station in Kirkstall, City of Leeds, West Yorkshire. It was located between Kirkstall Forge and Armley Canal Road on the right bank of the River Aire.

History
The station was opened by the Midland Railway in 1860 and closed in March 1965 as part of the Beeching cuts. Originally located south of Kirkstall Bridge next to today's Wyther Lane, it had been moved north of it by 1906. It was demolished after closure and no trace of the station now remains. However, the goods shed, south of Kirkstall Bridge, still exists.

John Briggs West

John Briggs West (August 6, 1852 – March 14, 1922) was an American publisher who founded West Publishing.

Early life
John Briggs West was born in Roxbury, Massachusetts on August 6, 1852. He had four siblings, including a brother, Horatio. His parents were William Carter, a bookkeeper, and Louisa Phoebe West.

Career
In 1870, at the age of 18, West, who was neither a lawyer nor a college graduate, began work as a salesman for the D.D. Merrill Book Store in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Among other books, the store sold law books and West became aware of frontier lawyers' dissatisfaction with the quality and availability of legal publications. In 1872, West went into business for himself as "John B. West, Publisher and Book Seller", reprinting legal treatises, publishing legal forms, and producing a much-appreciated index to the Minnesota statutes.

In 1899, he abruptly left the West Publishing Company and began a competing law publisher, the Keefe-Davidson Law Book Company. He made disparaging remarks about the West key-number digest system, and within a decade his new company lost a major lawsuit and was soon out of business. He retired to southern California.

He died March 14, 1922, and was buried at the Oakland Cemetery in Saint Paul.
