Talk:Gastonia (dinosaur)

Details on display?
"... the first Polacanthine dinosaur to have been mounted for display." Details? -- Writtenonsand 11:35, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * That seems odd; I went to the DMNH in 2002, and they had Gargoyleosaurus but not Gastonia. J. Spencer 14:18, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Gastonia has never been mounted for display at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Carpenter, Kenneth (talk) 22:27, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Dorsal spikes
There are some skeletals and restorations of Gastonia from the past few years that lack dorsal spikes (Gregory Paul's Feld Guide, Scott Hartman, Ken Carpenter's restoration in The Complete Dinosaur II, etc.). Is there anything in print about this change? J. Spencer (talk) 17:10, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Well, in: Loewen, Mark A.; Kirkland, James I. Kirkland & You Hailu, 2014, "Armored dinosaur evolution during the Mid-Mesozoic" In: Jim Kirkland, John Foster, ReBecca Hunt-Foster, Gregory A. Liggett, and Kelli Trujillo (eds), Mid-Mesozoic: the Age of Dinosaurs in Transition, April 30 – May 5, 2014 Fruita, Colorado & Green River, Utah p. 67-68, Kirkland (e.a?) still referred to "grooved shoulder spines and upright thoracic spines" as typical for the Polacanthidae, in which group he included Gastonia. Of course the presumed vertical spines were in 1998 not reported as articulated and their flatness and strong curvature might be seen as indications that they actually were lateral structures.--MWAK (talk) 18:25, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

 * On this note, I'm going to modify this old restoration that was removed due to the beak being inaccurate: Anything else you see that could be fixed, ? I at least think I'll have to shorten the tail, modify the limbs, and the spikes could maybe also need some work... FunkMonk (talk) 06:02, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Well, Carpenter in 2016 stated: "The body armor includes laterally projecting tetrahedron osteoderms that are grooved along the posterior sides, dorsoventrally compressed triangular plates along the sides of the body, and coossified pelvic shield of large, raised osteoderms surrounded by rosettes of smaller osteoderms". He acknowledges the existence of "spineous osteoderms", i.e. osteoderms consisting of a broad flat plate that projects into a very long pointed keel but finds it equally plausible to have them situated on the sides.

 * Apart from this issue the image has a number of other issues:

 * 1) The back is not flat enough.
 * 2) Hands and feet are way too large.
 * 3) The skull should not show a supraorbital rim. It's not a derived ankylosaurid, after all.
 * 4) The skull should be flatter.
 * 5) The eye should be set lower.
 * 6) The upper profile of the skull should show a continuous convex curve.
 * 7) The tail should indeed be shorter, given the perspective.
 * 8) The back should be largely covered by large flat oval plates, not by long spines.
 * 9) Whatever their location, the spines are much too massive. They should be thinner and pointier, clearly off-set from a surrounding flat base.

 * So, that's a lot of problems...--MWAK (talk) 21:08, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Haha, yeah, that sure is a lot... I'll give it a try, anyway, fixing these images is kind of an interesting challenge... Even though it would probably take less effort to just make new ones... FunkMonk (talk) 04:26, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
 * You think this Greg Paul skeletal would be a sufficient reference, ? Also, doesn't this leave all our skeletal mount photos wrong? Or they're perhaps just alternate interpretations which are equally as likely? FunkMonk (talk) 13:57, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

 * For the general shape and proportions of the animal, it's a good reference. The experts are in disagreement over the presence of large dorsal spines, so pictorially all alternatives are open! Museum mounts naturally tend to choose the more sensational option.--MWAK (talk) 16:29, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I've tried to force the proportions into something more accurate, haven't worked on the spikes yet, and of course I have to "connect the dots" between severed body-parts, but any thoughts about the current direction, ? FunkMonk (talk) 09:25, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

 * The torso shape is much better now and the skull looks like the real one. A lifted shorter tail also gives a more realistic impression. Nice work!--MWAK (talk) 09:52, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
 * We got a nice new photo of a mount in the taxobox, and I modeled the rest of the drawing partially on that, but it isn't 100% like any previous reconstruction. Any thoughts, ? FunkMonk (talk) 12:14, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

 * If you keep high spikes on the shoulders, you might want to give the top of the torso a clear division in three parts: spikes in front, oval plates behind them and a pelvic shield on the rear half.--MWAK (talk) 13:32, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Do you know of an image that shows how this could look? FunkMonk (talk) 14:22, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

 * This should be familiar to you :o): Polacanthus foxii.jpg

 * Just reduce the midline spike series to two front elements. Or perhaps one.--MWAK (talk) 20:58, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Haha, that's a blast from the past! I even just pasted Nocsa's original drawing of the hip armour onto it... So you mean the spikes between the dorsal and lateral spikes should be flat, or also the dorsal spikes after the two first dorsal rows? FunkMonk (talk) 23:01, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

 * The latter. Most of the body must have been covered by oval plates. There is a plausible reason for having front spikes: to protect the neck, the animal could have bent it below the front torso between the shoulder spikes, lowering the front limbs. A Utahraptor-type attacker might have tried to use its sickle claw as a can-opener between the cervical halfrings but would have been forced to bring its own torso above that of the ankylosaurian to bring it into play. The predator would then himself become very vulnerable to a sudden jutting up movement from the herbivore, driving elongated spikes into its breast, neck or head. That might be the reason that the spikes were so drawn-out and pointy. Not just looking cool to the ladies :o).--MWAK (talk) 10:12, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * , I've now tried to flatten most of the spikes other than the front two middle dorsal rows, I've shortened the two behind rather than flattened them completely, though, to give it a more gradual decrease towards the flatter osteoderms. Isn't too far from that old Polacanthus. FunkMonk (talk) 08:04, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Sorry for answering so late: for some reason the pinging failed. It definitely looks better now. What remains to be done, is a reduction of width of the dorsal spikes. Now they look like some gigantic teeth. They must show a distinction between the broad plate base and a slender point that clearly must be apparent as an edged keel. Presently, they are still too much caricature.--MWAK (talk) 09:04, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Hehe, as long as we're slowly getting somewere, step by step! I'll try to rework them soon. Seems they should also be somewhat laterally flattened ? FunkMonk (talk) 16:36, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Indeed: it's not the absolute size that's a problem but the relative transverse width of the keel part.--MWAK (talk) 17:00, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Here are some reworked osteoderms, shape based on the taxobox mount, is it closer, ?
 * Pinging again, seems like the earlier one didn't work because I forgot to sign the comment? FunkMonk (talk) 10:37, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Yes, pinging failed again... But I doubt your forgetting to sign is the problem. Anyway, the dorsal spikes are now a lot more realistic. Obviously, the horn sheath that probably covered them, can be variably interpreted so there is considerable artistic freedom.--MWAK (talk) 16:50, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Should I upload the image, or is there one last tweak you can think of? FunkMonk (talk) 16:54, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, and here's a ping,, just in case... FunkMonk (talk) 19:08, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

 * This time I was just tardy :o). For all works of art, there is a moment to decide they are finished and stop tweaking.--MWAK (talk) 19:18, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The deed is done! FunkMonk (talk) 19:36, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

south Utah Green River Gastonia sp. ?
http://scienceblogs.com/grrlscientist/2006/06/04/giant-armored-dinosaur-discove/

I know the fossil remains were sparse, but did anything come from this, yet?<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:15, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The specimen is from one of the Falcarius sites. There was not much collected, but it is very large based on the vertebrae. Carpenter, Kenneth (talk) 22:30, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Guitar/Playing With Others

Almost as soon as you start playing the guitar, you start to meet many other guitarists. Eventually, you will wind up playing with some of them, in some sort of informal jam sessions, where friends play anything that tickles their fancy.

Playing with others is helped incredibly by having some basic knowledge of music theory along with some amount of talent or skill. This is especially true if you intend to improvise a melody or chord progression. this section will provide the basics of considerate playing, along with some tips on how to keep playing interesting.

The Makeup of a Band
Even if you never intend to play in a large group, it's still important to know the basic divisions of a band, because you never know what might happen tomorrow. Learning about how a band works can also help you learn new songs from popular groups, as well as improve your knowledge of general music theory, and your appreciation for music.

As explained in the lead guitar and rhythm guitar section, guitar playing essentially breaks down to two, somewhat overlapping categories; rhythm and lead (sometimes called melody). In a band, the rhythm guitar is more generally associated with the drums, bass, background vocals and less prominent instruments, while the melody guitar would be related to the lead vocals or any other lead instrument.

Thus, when you are playing only with two people, almost immediately one player provides the chords and groove of a song, while another play contributes a melody that complements the song's progression. With more people playing, this division becomes less strict, and players can shift from playing more of less prominent parts.

In general, it is almost always better to play with more than two people, because with more people, whatever piece you are playing is less likely to fall apart when the first person screws up. If you only play with one other person, consider including a metronome or a mp3 drum track in the background. Electronic accompaniment helps you keep a steady pace, and helps you learn to not "rush" or "drag" in the group.

Proper Playing Attitudes
The most important thing to remember about playing with others can be learned by carefully listening to any piece of recorded music: Every player contributes to the song with an appropriate tone and volume, and never plays in excess of that. Essentially this just means you shouldn't try to outplay and outshine everyone else in the group, because no one likes a showoff. It doesn't matter how good you are (or think you are), you should never play so much that it drowns everyone else out.

If not overplaying is the most important thing about jamming, then the second most important is listening. The key to improvisation is to listen to the interplay of all the other instruments, and to add to that whatever sounds best. Listening is, unfortunately, a very neglected skill among beginning musicians, and really, most musicians in general.

A common tendency, especially among those who have just begun to get a solid foundation in scale theory and technique, is to noodle around aimlessly on the fretboard with little or no regard for the shape of the song that is being played, or the structure of the arrangement. This is a huge mistake, and it leads to music that no one wants to listen to; worse yet, it does nothing to develop the musician who plays it.

Pay attention to the music that is being played around you. Add to it only when it is necessary. You should begin to hear the lines that you want to play before you play them. What you are shooting for here is something akin to the old koan about sculpting: the figure is already in the marble, and you are just trying to release it.

It is also important to make sure that you do not take up too much "space" in the arrangement, which is to say, do not play so loudly that other instruments must fight to be heard. This is especially a problem for rhythm guitarists in jam sessions, who must be careful not to drown out soloists.

Staying in the Right Key
Perhaps the most important thing to do when playing with others is to remember what key you are in. The "key" of a piece is essentially the scale of notes that the song uses, but it also affects what the correct chords are to play on each note. Suppose there is only yourself and another guitarist playing, and the other guitarist is playing rhythm. The chord progression they are playing determines the key of the song, which naturally suggests certain notes for you, the lead guitarist.

Even if you have absolutely no knowledge of music theory, everyone can generally tell when you play a wrong note. Although advanced players can often add in "wrong" notes for colour (known in music theory as an accidental), for beginners it is important to know what notes are in what keys, so they can use the most appropriate notes.

For example, the rhythm guitarist might be playing a three chord blues riff in the key of B minor. Even if you didn't know the key, often the first and last chord of a progression can be good indicators of commonly used keys. At the very least, the general tone of the progression will be enough to indicate if it is a major or minor key. in this case, once you knew the key, you could immediately start soling in any B minor scale, such as the B minor pentatonic scale. However, since music is creative, it is impossible to be "limited", and you also have available a number of other soloing scales, like the pentatonic scale or any of the modes. For example, the Phrygian mode has traditionally been the "Spanish scale". Modes are much more complex and require knowledge of music theory to get the most benefit from them.

Improvising
There is also a basic approach to improvising which is more simple than playing over a chord accompaniment. It also predates Western tuning systems and chords. It is produced by playing a moving melody on one higher-pitched string, while leaving a lower note ringing on another "open", or lower-pitched (unfretted) string. The static bass note is referred to as a "pedal tone". The lower note or stays the same and the upper note moves, creating both simple harmonic and melodic motion. Traditional instruments which have fewer strings and a smaller range than the guitar use this technique. It can be heard in many musical styles in both Eastern and Western musical traditions including those with guitar.

This technique can be found both within Western tuning systems which use 12 semitones per octave as well as beyond in more complex Eastern tuning systems. Therefore before attempting to improvise a solo over a chord progression or a series of chords in a particular key, it is useful to practice playing simple melodies on one (upper) string to familiarize your ear with the intervals, or distances between those fretted notes and a static open, un-fretted (lower) string below it which is sounding simultaneously. Another advantage of this is that with each pair of notes you play, different intervals are sounded. Your ear begins to detect these and this is a basic form of ear training.

User:Alettaka

I am a biologist, specialized in molecular plant virology. I just learned about the wiki concept very recently (march 2004), and am fascinated with it. I have started to write about plant virology for the Botany/Microbes chapter of the botany textbook. Originally from the Netherlands, I have been living in Basel, Switzerland since 1996. I did my PhD and a postdoc here, but am currently at home looking after our daughter and expecting a second child. Contributing here may help me to keep my neurons exercised ;-)

Almost 20 years after the message above... I did find other venues to exercise my neurons. I have been active as a health coach in the past decade, and currently I am studying medical informatics.

Never Give Up (video game)

Never Give Up is a 2D platform game developed by Massive Monster and Tasselfoot and published by Armor Games on August 13, 2019. The game follows a stick figure man named Blue who awakes in a strange facility and tries to escape it. The main gameplay consists of several level "sets", each of which contain several increasingly difficult iterations on the same level. The game is a reboot of the Give Up series, also published by Armor Games, and includes full voice acting by Arin Hanson of Game Grumps.

Gameplay
Never Give Up is divided into different worlds each containing different levels leading up to a boss battle. The levels consist of several versions of the same basic room layout, increasing in difficult as the player progresses through them by adding additional hazards and lengthening the level. After dying enough times within a level, players can skip past it by selecting a "give up" option.

Reception
Never Give Up was received generally well by critics. It was praised for its difficulty and the satisfaction of overcoming its challenges, although critics noted its lack of originality and its tendency to be outdated.

Geometry/Inductive and Deductive Reasoning

There are two approaches to furthering knowledge: reasoning from known ideas and synthesizing observations. In inductive reasoning you observe the world, and attempt to explain based on your observations. You start with no prior assumptions. Deductive reasoning consists of logical assertions from known facts.

Basic Terms
Before one can start to understand logic, and thereby begin to prove geometric theorems, one must first know a few vocabulary words and symbols.

Conditional: a conditional is something which states that one statement implies another. A conditional contains two parts: the condition and the conclusion, where the former implies the latter. A conditional is always in the form "If statement 1, then statement 2." In most mathematical notation, a conditional is often written in the form p ⇒ q, which is read as "If p, then q" where p and q are statements.

Converse: the converse of a logical statement is when the conclusion becomes the condition and vice versa; i.e., p ⇒ q becomes q ⇒ p. For example, the converse of the statement "If someone is a woman, then they are a human" would be "If someone is a human, then they are a woman." The converse of a conditional does not necessarily have the same truth value as the original, though it sometimes does, as will become apparent later.

AND: And is a logical operator which is true only when both statements are true. For example, the statement "Diamond is the hardest substance known to man AND a diamond is a metal" is false. While the former statement is true, the latter is not. However, the statement "Diamond is the hardest substance known to man AND diamonds are made of carbon" would be true, because both parts are true.

OR: If two statements are joined together by "or," then the truth of the "or" statement is dependent upon whether one or both of the statements from which it is composed is true. For example, the statement "Tuesday is the day after Monday OR Thursday is the day after Saturday" would have a truth value of "true," because even though the latter statement is false, the former is true.

NOT: If a statement is preceded by "NOT," then it is evaluating the opposite truth value of that statement. The symbol for "NOT" is For example, if the statement p is "Elvis is dead," then ¬p would be "Elvis is not dead." The concept of "NOT" can cause some confusion when it relates to statements which contain the word "all." For example, if r is "¬". "All men have hair," then ¬r would be "All men do not have hair" or "No men have hair." Do not confuse this with "Not all men have hair" or "Some men have hair." The "NOT" should apply to the verb in the statement: in this case, "have." ¬p can also be written as NOT p or ~p. NOT p may also be referred to as the "negation of p."

Inverse: The inverse of a conditional says that the negation of the condition implies the negation of the conclusion. For example, the inverse of p ⇒ q is ¬p ⇒ ¬q. Like a converse, an inverse does not necessarily have the same truth value as the original conditional.

Biconditional: A biconditional is conditional where the condition and the conclusion imply one another. A biconditional starts with the words "if and only if." For example, "If and only if p, then q" means both that p implies q and that q implies p.

Premise: A premise is a statement whose truth value is known initially. For example, if one were to say "If today is Thursday, then the cafeteria will serve burritos," and one knew that what day it was, then the premise would be "Today is Thursday" or "Today is not Thursday."

⇒: The symbol which denotes a conditional. p ⇒ q is read as "if p, then q."

Iff: Iff is a shortened form of "if and only if." It is read as "if and only if."

⇔: The symbol which denotes a biconditonal. p ⇔ q is read as "If and only if p, then q."

∴: The symbol for "therefore." p ∴ q means that one knows that p is true (p is true is the premise), and has logically concluded that q must also be true.

∧: The symbol for "and."

∨: The symbol for "or."

Deductive Reasoning
There are a few forms of deductive logic. One of the most common deductive logical arguments is modus ponens, which states that:
 * p ⇒ q
 * p ∴ q

 * (If p, then q)
 * (p, therefore q)

An example of modus ponens:
 * If I stub my toe, then I will be in pain.
 * I stub my toe.
 * Therefore, I am in pain.

Another form of deductive logic is modus tollens, which states the following.

 * p ⇒ q
 * ¬q ∴ ¬p

 * (If p, then q)
 * (not q, therefore not p)

Modus tollens is just as valid a form of logic as modus ponens. The following is an example which uses modus tollens.

 * If today is Thursday, then the cafeteria will be serving burritos.

 * The cafeteria is not serving burritos, therefore today is not Thursday.

Another form of deductive logic is known as the If-Then Transitive Property. Simply put, it means that there can be chains of logic where one thing implies another thing. The If-Then Transitive Property states:

 * p ⇒ q

 * (q ⇒ r) ∴ (p ⇒ r)

 * (If p, then q)

 * ((If q, then r), therefore (if p, then r))

For example, consider the following chain of if-then statements.
 * If today is Thursday, then the cafeteria will be serving burritos.
 * If the cafeteria will be serving burritos, then I will be happy.

 * Therefore, if today is Thursday, then I will be happy.

Inductive Reasoning
Inductive reasoning is a logical argument which does not definitely prove a statement, but rather assumes it. Inductive reasoning is used often in life. Polling is an example of the use of inductive reasoning. If one were to poll one thousand people, and 300 of those people selected choice A, then one would infer that 30% of any population might also select choice A. This would be using inductive logic, because it does not definitively prove that 30% of any population would select choice A.

Because of this factor of uncertainty, inductive reasoning should be avoided when possible when attempting to prove geometric properties.

Truth Tables
Truth tables are a way that one can display all the possibilities that a logical system may have when given certain premises. The following is a truth table with two premises (p and q), which shows the truth value of some basic logical statements. (NOTE: T = true; F = false)

Talk:Preston and Wyre Joint Railway

Maudland Bridge or Maudland station
Does anybody know about a station called Maudland Bridge or Maudland?

According to a map of Preston dated about 1855 (published in Town and City Maps of the British Isles 1800-1855, by Ashley Baynton-Williams, 1992, ISBN 1 85891 039 0), there was a Maudland station at the junction of the Preston & Wyre line and the Preston & Lancaster line, and which appears to have been a terminus on the Fleetwood line.

Another WP editor has included Maudland Bridge on the Preston and Longridge Railway, which also joined the main line at that same junction (some time after 1855), with a station closure date of 1885.

I can't find any more information over the internet. --Dr Greg 13:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Well it's in the station list for Preston and Longridge Railway. Maudland is a district of Preston, marked in present day OS maps. The junction on the main line where the Blackpool line diverges used to be called Maudland Junction. The 1849 OS 6 inch map shows the station. Quick, normally painstakingly exhaustive says:

 * Preston Maudlands opened 16 July 1840 on the Preston and Wyre Railway; closed 11 February 1844; service then diverted to main station; in practice most trains already using it; later excursion use.

 * Preston Maudland Bridge; opened 1 July 1857; terminus; closed 2 June 1930.

 * Preston Maudlands temporary station was used 9 and 10 March 1991 during bridge repairs. Afterbrunel (talk) 18:18, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the review Deunanknute. I look forward to the debate on the possible deletion, but hope to have an opportunity to hear/read any concerns and or suggestions for edits as necessary (Though, I think I have conformed to Wikipedia policies). Further, there is still a list of additional original source material (mostly press coverage not available to link to online) not yet included in the current Wikipedia article on Mike Fyshe from 1998 and 2001 (Globe and Mail Newspaper, Marketing Magazine, Strategy Magazine, Financial Post Newspaper, National Post Business Magazine, Financial Post Magazine). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ckuilman (talk • contribs) 02:19, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 * None of the online references impart any notability, and I was unable to find copies of those offline. He is still active and working in the same/similar field, yet there are no online sources of notability? Do you have any online sources that will help? Deunanknute (talk) 07:34, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 * All of the referenced articles, both online and offline, are from major Canadian news magazines and respected industry journals (and after carefully reviewing, do conform to the Wikipedia guidelines). For pre-web publications, what proof is required? (I can provide scans from the original hardcopies). It concerns me that pre-web publication/documentation is somehow 'less' valid. FYR, of the offline articles, versions (text) for The National Post Business magazine (Nov 1999), Canada's corporate elite 1999, is available in Canadian Business & Current Affairs Reference on proquest.com (but only via subscription - mine was Toronto Library). Financial Post Magazine (Nov 1998), Top 200 CEOs, is listed in Canadian Business & Current Affairs Reference but not accessible (possibly via subscription). Ckuilman (talk) 15:04, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 * There is nothing wrong with the references themselves. The problem is that they do not indicate any notability of Mike Fyshe. They indicate notability of BBDO. Scans aren't required, but would be helpful, if the subject is Mike Fyshe. Offline sources are perfectly valid, just sometimes trickier to verify. To clarify from before, zero online references of somebody still alive and active is not an article killer in and of itself, but it seems uncommon. Deunanknute (talk) 15:29, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 * The 1998 and 1999 articles are of the CEOs themselves, plus the Lara Mills articles (Marketing Magazine) spotlight the man, who happens to be from BBDO. In this light, the other references included for the article all support notability (eg..."Canada's big-agency leader still contributing"). References are all verifiable and independent sources of sufficient depth. Of the more current references, I've added two this AM. Some others do not meet the Wikipedia guidelines and were not included. Fermanmain (talk) 15:48, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Her case was actually politicized by leftist media, when earlier this month she received an award from the current Minister of Education Mrs Nike Kerameos, of the right-wing party New Democracy. I am not sure if she is "encyclopaedic" in english, but the Greek left and liberal media are making a party. --Skylax30 (talk) 18:33, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Total false claim In.grKathimerinithe same arguments from right wing newspapers. Αντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 08:09, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Not quiet. You link to an opinion article by a certain Tsitsinis in Kathimerini. The article focuses more an the "systemic deficit" (συστημικό έλλειμμα) of the greek media, not entering into details about Antoniadou. The article is more of a (rightful) comment on the self-promoted personas of the media. He actually says that "the scandalism may be exagerated". By the way, as you know this morning I was insulted (idiot etc) and threatened (legal threats) by an anonymous user, who claims to be an academic and believes that I care about politics (and especially PASOK), which I don't. He was funny enough to question me about the laboratory conditions (temperature, solutions etc) during the construction of the synthetic trachea! If he is really an academic, my opinion is that the systemic deficit is not mostly in the media.--Skylax30 (talk) 13:50, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Total untrue claims. ALL the Greek media says the same Lifo (central right magazine)], Protagon(central right magazine)].Proto Thema ( a popular right or far-right newspaper) Greek English speaking newspaper of Greek Immigrants in USA (right politics) You made a statement you have the duty to prove it. It is nothing but your personal opinion and ONLY your personal opinion. You can't even find one person in Greek/English language with the same arguments as you. It is your personal beliefs and nothing more. I don't care to discuss a single Wikipedia user beliefs. If you manage to find anyone in the Press/Tv we can discuss it then. Until then ...you can talk for ...legal threats and academy and other weird staffΑντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 23:41, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

 * What is relevant here is not my personal opinion but how the article presents the case. I added some publications to show that this person is not a "pan-ignorant", as an extraparliamentary left scientist claimed, who is cited by all those sources you mentioned above. Btw, the "Proto Thema" (First theme) is cleverly called "Proto Psema" (First lie) by leading left n.papers, when they don't like it's articles (e.g. EfSyn ). I think I did my duty in the article and I quit this discussion. You can have the last word.--Skylax30 (talk) 15:40, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

AfD
Delete. She does not have any "fame". There are Greeks, with 2 Master's and 3 PhDs. She has 6 publications, she is "first author" only in three publications, she has an h-factor of 7. Nothing special. She was, also, general secretary in the Youth Section of the political party PASOK. Of course, these "achievements" do not qualify her as a "scientist". Scientist is someone who has at least a PhD. She is just a scammer.--2A02:587:3F2D:6F00:28F1:1BC1:C815:D1AD (talk) 23:54, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Prod
Hi, I am inclined to de-prod the article as this would probably warrant a deeper AfD discussion, though that would be the third one. I believe at the time (in 2017) there was merit in deleting the article for BLP issues, however the story has changed. We don't quite know yet how the latest revelations will play out, but the alleged NASA "hoax" is widely covered internationally. This itself is probably BLP1E, however the participation that led the the transplantation scandal could be considered another E - although even her role in that one is now disputed. There are factors to be considered in aggregate: i) coverage of the transplantations, ii) other work since then, iii) the "crowning" by having a special edition Barbie doll modelled after her, iv) the award presented by the Greek education minister and the resulting "hoax" allegations. I'm not saying the article is inevitably a keeper, but will probably need more evaluation than a PROD can offer. The article definitely needs more work... I'm also including and  from the AfD discussion back then. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 08:14, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Check HereΑντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 08:17, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * No worries - as I said in my nom, I wasn't quite sure about it myself. I do think it is borderline at AfD, but I would tend to go with the fact that it is WP:BIO1E. I'll let another reviewer take a look at it.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:34, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what this article is about--it's negative BLP information combined with a resume-style list of publications. I do not know if User:Cinadon36 thinks that this is how you achieve balance: it is not. Drmies (talk) 13:59, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The "Publications" section was added to the article by user Skylax30, not by Cinadon36. He had done the same thing before @ el/WP, and this contribution of his has been called into question by myself, remarking that WP articles are not CVs. Obviously this addition was concieved by Skylax30 as a "possitive" counter-balance to what he thinks is a false negative image of Antoniadou created on purpose as such by supposedly left-winger Greek Wikipedians following a call from political parties and media opposing the right-wing Greek government (besause Antoniadou recently recieved an award for her scientific "achievements" from the Greek Minister for Education, who called her an outstanding NASA scientist etc.) as user Skylax30 commented above: I am not sure if she is "encyclopaedic" in english, but the Greek left and liberal media are making a party, and so are some Greek wikipedists in the discussion of the greek article (this is the original version of it, before the "lifting" he performed, because of the negative reactions against it and him for this @ the Village Pump of el/WP; I myself is one of those "certain greek WPdians" who "misunderstood and misrepresented" poor Skylax30). ǁ ǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 16:56, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , I need you to look at this., , and whoever else is available (, you up yet?), you too. I am beginning to think of deleting this on the spot as a serious BLP violation. First of all, it is STILL a clear issue of BLP1E. Second, it's a hit job: one could write up all kinds of stuff, including the Barbie and all that, but the author chose not to do this. (I see now that the subject's resume was introduced by another editor, here). What says is correct, that there is more to this than the allegations and may warrant an AfD, and thus User:onel5969 PROD could be removed--but at the bottom, I believe this is a BLP violation. I'd love to hear some more admins look at this; if I look at the article one more time I might just end up nuking it myself and that will cause more trouble than I want to handle on Sunday morning. Drmies (talk) 14:14, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Awake and reporting for duty, . In its current form, the article is a BLP violation and when did the fact that a biography has been changed on another language Wikipedia become worthy of mention on English Wikipedia, cited to that other Wikipedia ? The tone is really poor: reported this, reported that, scrutiny, misrepresentation and so on. Is a doll sales website a good source? Obviously not.

 * On the other hand, I believe that there is sufficient coverage in reliable sources going back quite a few years that I conclude that she is notable, and I think it goes beyond BLP1E. Any acceptable biography would need to be written with great sensitivity and care. This isn't it. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  16:34, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Who prodded the article after two previous AfDs? Don't do that. Also, president of EHP and model for a special edition Barbie doll indicate clear notabiity. Once notable, always notable. It's unfortunate that, after she's become a public figure, there's all this negative material that now needs to be included, but it doesn't make her less notable. And it is not a BLP violation to have negative material included in an article, as long as it is properly sourced. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:42, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

BLP violations can be fixed. did a fine job improving the article. (well done Jake for removing Bild as non-RS, to Pontiki is not RS either, maybe we should remove it as well). Also, it is clear that Antonidou meets WP:GNG. Cinadon36 19:12, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

 * I have looked at all the material here, including the Google translation of the Greek WP. I consider this a notable group of hoaxes. I do not consider this BLP1E, because she seems to have bene involved in several separate deceptions, all of which have now received reliable international publicity. Quite apart from the deceptions, she is notable because oft he claims originally made about her. Basically, I agree, as I almost always do, with David E.
 * I consider the current version  as revised by Jake B, not to be a BLP violation, though I do not consider it yet to be a really adequate article--it's much too sketchy. It would be better to build on it than to remove it.  DGG ( talk ) 19:19, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , that is a version I might could live with., if had tagged this version of yours as an attack page I would have granted it. Drmies (talk) 21:29, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Point taken. This version of mine was certainly unbalanced, something that was more evident after the edits by other users. Nevertheless, I wouldnt call it an attack. It is what RS are claiming. At least, it wasn't my intention to attack E.A. I get it thought that some may view it as an attack. Anyway, the problem has been sorted out. I invite you to my talk page to discuss it any further if you wish. Cinadon36 06:52, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

False claims
Should we mention her false claims? These are the main issues her story reached world class media. It could be an independent paragraph, something like:

According to Kostas Kallergis, four claims of Antoniadou were heavily critisized: a)taking part in a successful trachea transplantation, the results were disastrous though, b) she was employed by NASA while she just attended a summer school. c) Antoniadou claimed she was awarded with a PhD (she only holds two master degrees). d)Antoniadou claimed her enterprise (Transplants without Donors) was successful, while there is no activity of it.(citing this article)

I understand there might be concerns regarding BLP policies, so I 'd like your comments. Most probable a rewording is warrant. Cinadon36 07:12, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

PS-More informative article on her false claims regarding trachea transplantation, by Huff.Post (Greece). Cinadon36 07:39, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * IMO the sourcing about E.A. is a bit all over the place. It seems at the heart of this are allegation that various bodies did not properly check her background when talking about her, giving awards, etc. So I'd approach this from a position of extreme scepticism when looking at sources, specially those dated pre Sept 2019. The revelations now may be perceived as "just" counterclaims. This is complicated further by political bias claims. Are there any reliable investigative sources that actually confirmed all those claims by Kallergis? At the moment, this is very much "he said, she said" territory - unless there are some sources I did not find or understand as they are in Greek. I appreciate the article needs more work - the quick fixes I made over the weekend were never meant to turn this into a finely crafted article, but into minimum viable stub that carefully reflects the ambiguity of sources.
 * Having said that, I believe your proposal is too "definitive" and POVvy. Do we even know, e.g. she actively claimed to have a viable company? This interview sounds more cautious... pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 08:19, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * See this (The National Herald; May 30, 2019). ǁ ǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 08:36, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Actually she said about the company that "It is a startup, in the prototype phase" (2016). She didn't claim that the company is active. The article in National Herald is of 2019, not citing E.A. but probably re-serving her previous interview as the author understood it. Companies open and close, and even when they "open" are not yet open for business. All the fuss is mostly about other peoples claims and not about what she claimed. --Skylax30 (talk) 08:44, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Ok, I understand your skepticism on various claims that are spinning around but I think the case of E.A. highlighters the importance of WP's policy on RS. Her myth was built mostly by media that, wouldn't fit for being RS. So if it is on BBC, and if no other media as reliable as BBC (or somewhat less reliable) tells a different story, it is enough for me. As for the political bias, there is non of it. , thanks for the link, proves a lot, there is an interesting comment dated 31st of May and the title is a little bit funny.

Black Madonna (novel)

Black Madonna is a novel by Carl Sargent and Marc Gascoigne published by Roc Fantasy in 1996.

Plot summary
Black Madonna is a Shadowrun novel featuring the characters Sutherland, Serrin and Geraint in their third novel.

Reception
Andy Butcher reviewed Black Madonna for Arcane magazine, rating it a 6 out of 10 overall. Butcher comments that "Black Madonna is a cut above the Shadowrun novels from other authors in terms of its characters. But it also suffers from the overly intricate plotting of the earlier stories."

Lynn Harrison Cohick is an American-born New Testament scholar, early Christianity historian, international speaker and lecturer, higher education executive administrator, and author who has written widely on early Christian matters as well as Christian biblical texts. She presently serves as the Provost/Dean of Denver Seminary in Littleton, CO.

Biography

Cohick was born 24 August 1962 in Pittsburgh, PA, to Dr. C. Scott and Sally Harrison, who together founded CURE International in 1996. She is the first-born of three: the late Ann Louise Harrison and Christopher Scott Harrison. Her father was in the military, and after serving in Vietnam as an army surgeon he returned to the US in 1966; the family then moved to different locales in the US as he completed his surgical residency and fellowships. Most of Cohick’s elementary through high school years were spent in south-central PA, in communities on the West Shore of the Susquehanna River near Harrisburg, PA. In 1981 she married Jim Cohick. She attended Messiah College in Grantham, PA, receiving her undergraduate degree in Biblical Studies in 1984. She studied one semester at the Lutheran Seminary in Gettysburg, PA, before beginning her studies at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) in Philadelphia, PA, where she studied under Dr. Robert Kraft and Dr. Ross Kraemer. While pursuing her dissertation at UPenn, Cohick did requisite work as a teaching assistant and lecturer. Cohick then taught as an adjunct lecturer at Messiah College in the mid-1990s. Her PhD in New Testament/Christian Origins was conferred by the UPenn in 1996.

In 1997, Cohick, her husband, Jim, and their two children, CJ (Charles) and Sarah (both elementary school aged at that time), moved to Kijabe, Kenya, East Africa. There with CURE International her husband led a team to start and run the first children’s hospital of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa. During the three years she lived in Kenya, Cohick was invited and served as professor of New Testament at the Nairobi Graduate School of Theology (NEGST) located in Karen, Kenya, teaching New Testament courses and serving as a reader for graduate students who attended NEGST from over a dozen sub-Saharan African countries.

In 2000, Cohick joined the faculty at Wheaton College in Wheaton, IL, as professor of New Testament. She served on numerous committees throughout her 18 years at Wheaton, was elected by her peers as Vice-Chair of the Faculty in 2015, served as Chair of the Bible Department in 2016, and held the post as Interim Dean of Humanities and Theology in 2017. In 2018, she was invited to join Denver Seminary as the Provost/Dean.

Writings and Speaking

Cohick’s dissertation from her PhD work at UPenn led to her first book, The Peri Pascha Attributed to Melito of Sardis: Setting, Purpose and Sources (Brown Judaic Studies) published in 2000. Her focus on the life of Christians – especially women – in the early centuries of the Common Era, along with her writings about the Pauline epistles, have been a main focus on her written works and speaking engagements. Notable efforts in the writing arena include: co-authoring the first edition of The New Testament in Antiquity (Zondervan) with Dr. Gary Burge and Dr. Gene Green, two colleagues who overlapped with her time at Wheaton College; Women in the World of the Earliest Christians (Baker Academic), a book providing details and perspectives about women from the first and second centuries; a follow-up work was a collaborative effort with Dr. Amy Hughes – Christian Women in the Patristic World: Their Influence, Authority, and Legacy in the Second through the Fifth Centuries (Baker Academic) - was published in 2017; she is serving as associate editor on the Story of God Commentary series (Zondervan Publishers), and Dictionary of Paul and His Letters, 2nd ed. (InterVarsity Press); she has authored commentaries on Romans, Ephesians, and Philippians, the latest effort being Ephesians in New International Commentary on the New Testament (Eerdmans) slated to become available later in 2020.

Cohick has been honored and continues to be an invited speaker and lecturer at various venues and occasions. Highlights to date include: Eric Liddle Inaugural Address for Brisbane School of Theology (formerly Crossway Bible College) in Brisbane, Australia (2011); Annual Leon Morris Lecture and Plenary lectures for the Evangelical Women in Academia Conference for Ridley College in Melbourne, Australia (2017); Plenary lectures for the Annual New Testament Lecture Services held at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) in Deerfield, IL (US) (2016); Australia and New Zealand Association of Theological Schools (ANZAT) annual conference held in Adelaide, Australia (2017); Keynote Address for Women’s Physicians in Christ annual conference held in Hilton Head, SC (US) (2016); Plenary lectures for Regent College in Vancouver, Canada (2015), for Lanier Theological Library in Houston, TX (US) (2015), Tabor College of Higher Education in Millswood, Australia (2017). She has presented papers at multiple conference settings including the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) annual conference, International Conference on Patristic Studies (Oxford), and Wheaton Theology Conference (held annually each spring, pre-COVID pandemic).

Service to the Academy and Other Christian Ministry

Cohick is a founding member of the Christian Leaders of Africa (CLA) organization and served as its President of the Board, which acts as a US-based fund-raising arm supporting NEGST (now a part of Africa International University). She serves on the US board of the Langham Partners International (formerly Jon Stott Ministries). She has been a member of Institute for Biblical Research (IBR), serving for a period of time as the board Secretary, and was elected as the organization’s President of the Board at the end of 2019. Cohick is a long-standing member in both Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) and Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) serving on various committees over her tenure in each organization. Cohick is also on the editorial boards of Journal or the Study of Paul and His Letters, Biblical Research, Library of New Testament Studies, and Bulletin of Biblical Research.
