McLaren MP4/7A
|
Short description
|
The McLaren MP4/7A was McLaren International's Formula One entry for the season, and a follow-up to their successful MP4/6 from .
|
McLaren MP4/7A
|
Background
|
Background
The Williams-Renault combination was getting faster and more reliable and became a formidable challenger to McLaren's dominance. McLaren used the MP4/6 chassis, now designated MP4/6B for slightly modified front wing aerodynamics, for the first two races of 1992. The all-new MP4/7A was expected for the Spanish Grand Prix, the fourth race of the year. However, due to Williams' speed in pre-season testing (as well as their dominance of the first two rounds of the season), McLaren team principal Ron Dennis made the decision to bring the car out one race early, at the Brazilian Grand Prix. This was one month earlier than expected.

McLaren MP4/7A
|
Design
|
Design
This was the first McLaren to use a semi-automatic transmission; it was a McLaren-designed electro-hydraulic clutch and paddle-shift unit with semi-automatic activation (a semi-automatic transmission had been tested during the previous season with the MP4/6 and was on track during practice for the 1991 Hungarian Grand Prix, but the team elected to retain that car's original manual transaxle for the entirety of that car's use in competition). The team's technology partner Techniques d'Avant Garde (TAG) helped with development. This system allowed the driver to keep his foot on the pedal, without lifting from it since the throttle cable was replaced with an electronic sensor. It also controlled engine speed, rev-matching, and clutch actuation automatically during gear changes.
Source: Autocourse 1992-93, Hazelton Publishing, page 40. The MP4/7A also gained traction control at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
A variant of the car, dubbed MP4/7B, featuring an experimental active suspension system, was introduced in testing for that year's Portuguese Grand Prix, though it proved insufficiently reliable and was not used for the remainder of the 1992 season. The system would, however, be used on the MP4/7A's replacement, 's MP4/8.
With Honda pulling out of Formula One at the end of the 1992 season (after 69 wins as an engine supplier since , 44 of them with McLaren), the team would be forced to use customer Ford V8 engines in 1993, thus the MP4/7A was the last McLaren to use the Japanese engines until the McLaren Honda partnership was renewed prior to the season; the failure of that partnership to produce a race-winning car means the MP4/7A remains the last Honda-powered McLaren Formula One car to win a Grand Prix.

Season summary

Season summary
For the first time since , McLaren failed to capture the Constructors' or Drivers' Championship title. It was, therefore, the first time the team had failed to win the championships with Honda power, as the years to had all been successful in this respect. While the MP4/7A showed that it was able to keep up with the Williams FW14B in a straight line on several occasions, the active suspension on the Williams allowed it to better utilize its aerodynamic package, thus relegating the passively-suspended McLaren to 'best of the rest' status. The MP4/7A also suffered from teething troubles early on: both Senna and Berger dropped out of the car's debut race in Brazil with electrical problems. Defending champion Senna also suffered three straight DNFs during the middle of the season, effectively ending any hopes he may have had at defending his title. Five Grand Prix victories were recorded by the drivers: three for Ayrton Senna, in his fifth season for the team, and two for Gerhard Berger in his third and final season for McLaren before switching back to Ferrari for 1993.

Timeline of Faerûn: Present
– (View AfD)(View log)
Contested prod. WP:NOT for plot summaries, no matter in which format you present them. This and the other timelines are in-universe only. "Wikipedia articles on works of fiction should contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's achievements, impact or historical significance, not solely a summary of that work's plot." It is sourced (or at least, sources are given in the main Timeline of Faerûn article, and are published by the company that produces Forgotten Realms, so they are hardly independent sources anyway), but that's not enough to make it an article fit for Wikipedia. Articles are also not really included into the flow of the Forgotten Realms articles, as they are barely linked. Two of the six timelines are linked to by one relevant article, the other four are linked to by none. The lack of links in itself is not a reason for deletion, but shows that the articles hardly serve any purpose here, and coupled with the clear WP:NOT violation, they should be deleted.

Delete all per nom. No assertion of real world significance. Way too much cruft to merge. MER-C 08:53, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
The reason that was given for the proposal was
"WP:NOT for plot summaries, no matter in which format you present them. This and the other timelines are in-universe only. "Wikipedia articles on works of fiction should contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's achievements, impact or historical significance, not solely a summary of that work's plot." It is sourced, but that's not enough to make it an article fit for Wikipedia."
AFAIK, in modern usage "should" is not "must/has to". Therefore, there is no reason to delete this article.
Also, WP:NOT, heading Plot summaries, second sentence:
"A plot summary may be appropriate as an aspect of a larger topic."
As far as I can see, the abovementioned timelines *are* aspects of a larger topic. — 62.224.109.237 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
But how can you justify a plot summary of this size? MER-C 09:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment One justification is that these plot summaries are just 1-2 sentance summaries of entire books. There just happen to be an amazing number of books. If this could be cleaned up and links added to the books containig this information it could be made into a great guide for the series. Anything with about a hundred books is hard to keep straight without some sort of timeline. Shimaspawn 15:33, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment Well... If this got userfied, do you really think that there would be folk up to the daunting task of heavily reformatting this and adding such notations? As per my comment below, it's not that I don't think that it couldn't be done or is necessarily not worth doing, but I'm certainly daunted. Bitnine 15:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment I'd be wiling to work on it. I've been looking for a reason to crawl through my old novels, and I have an old copy of the offical timeline (circa ~1990's). Shimaspawn 16:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete all per nom. It doesn't help the articles that you have to search elsewhere to find out what they are about, and being all in-universe (nowhere does the first one make it clear that it is a timeline for a video game) hurts them. TJ Spyke 09:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete all for the reasons listed above. I'm afraid the argument on the semantics of the word 'should' is not enough to save the articles. Nuttah68 11:05, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete all. And don't get me wrong, I like Faerûn fine. In fact, the Forgotten Realms setting is interesting and notable as a fictional construct, as it is used as the basis for dozens of video games, a large number of gaming supplements, swarms of novels, and other media as well. If this were just an article - or even a couple - giving information of the setting and showing the placement of the various works in the setting, that would be dandy with me. However, this mammoth in-universe sprawling timeline isn't the way to do that. (I'd say "Merge down and reformat if you have a giant amount of free time and the patience of a saint," but that seems like too much to ask of anyone.) Bitnine 15:42, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep The truth is, this is the timeline for the largest setting of the largest RPG in the world. It has about a hundred novels and close to fifty rule books pertaining to this. The setting has been around for ~20 years and in that time the offical infromation alone has made for a huge timeline. There are 816,000 ghits for Faerûn [], 543,000 for Faerun [] and 3,100,000 for Forgotten Realms (the offical title the setting material is published under) []. Also, Amazon lists 843 books under "Forgotten Realms" []. Cleaning this up won't be easy I admit, but there are a lot of souces that can be used. Short I don't think can be managed though even if we only stick in a sentance or two about a book. Shimaspawn 16:05, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep but needs a huge re-write. --Hobit 16:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete all I don't doubt the importance of Faerun, but no need to have exhaustive plot summaries. This info is probably repeated elsewhere on the internet at a fan site or some such. A link on the main Faerun page would be appropriate. --Daniel J. Leivick 17:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Possible CopyVio I am not concerned with this subject of this article, though I think this is not the best way to do it, but I am concerned that this is a copyright violation. Several websites on the FR do contain this information in the same way, and I do not know whether they took the information from Wikipedia or the information was taken from them. See: Plus there is the possibility that some of this was copied and pasted from the books themselves. However, the subject itself is not inherently objectionable, and would be quite appropriate, especially since it could show the overlaps between various books, adventures, computer and video games and other content if properly done. FrozenPurpleCube 18:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Here's another couple of possibilities —The preceding unsigned comment was added by FrozenPurpleCube (talk • contribs) 18:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC).
Transwiki to Forgottem Realms Wiki This level of detail is inappropriate for an encyclopedia catering to a general audience. Better as an external link in the Faerun article (which already has one by the way). --Polaron | Talk 22:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't think it should be transwiki'ed. For one thing, it seems they already have the content, but for another, I am still doubtful of the copyright status of the pages here. FrozenPurpleCube 00:56, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Short description

Joseph André (14 March 1908 – 1 June 1973) was a Catholic priest of the diocese of Namur, Belgium. He was declared Righteous among the Nations by the government of Israel in 1968.

Early life
|
Early life
After two years (1926–28) with the Jesuits where he could not stay because of his frail health and weak contact with his religion, he entered the seminary of Namur. Ordained priest in 1936, he was teacher in a high school (Floreffe) for a few years before being appointed curate at the parish of St Jean-Baptiste (Namur).

Shelter for Jewish children
|
Shelter for Jewish children
In 1941, with Belgium under German occupation, the parish youth center (located exactly next to the Gestapo 'Kommandantur' of Namur) became the hub of a vast clandestine organization under his leadership, aiming to save Jewish children from deportation and certain death. It was a transit house where children were sheltered - sometime more than 20 together - for as few days as possible before being entrusted to religious institutions or rural families where they could remain in hiding. To feed them, Fr André and his collaborators went about the country, from farm to farm, begging for food, hams, bread, cheese, and on the look out for more shelters for his protégés. With a personal love for Jews and a profound respect for religious freedom, Father André never tried to convert or baptize the children. Though he was occasionally suspected by the Gestapo, and several times interrogated, his center and organization were never uncovered and remained active till the end of the war.

Friend of Israel
After the war he carried out social and charitable activities in connection with the Service social des Juifs of Belgium. Living very poorly by choice, he had an evangelical love for the marginalized and the lost. As Chaplain of the Namur jail from 1957 till his death, he opened a welcome center for ex-convicts, illegal migrants and political refugees: the 'Chateau de Bomel' (Namur). Always interested in the destiny of the Jewish people and fascinated by the mystery of Israel he closely followed the birth of the new state in 1948. In 1967 he received the highest honour of the nation: he was declared "Righteous Among the Nations" and a tree in his name was planted in Yad Vashem.Joseph André at Yad Vashem The following year the frail man, always in a black cassock, was invited to New York City by the United Jewish Appeal and greeted by more than a thousand Jews.

William Clowes Ltd.
|
Short description
|
William Clowes Ltd. is a British printing company founded in London in 1803 by William Clowes. It grew from a small, one press firm to one of the world's largest printing companies in the mid-19th century. The company merged with Caxton Press, operated by William Moore in Beccles, Suffolk in the late 19th century and concentrated its business in the town following World War II. It is one of the UK’s largest manufacturers of directories and reference books and continues to operate out of its large printing factory at Ellough near Beccles as part of the CPI UK group.William Clowes, CPI UK.

History
Clowes established the firm on 21 October 1803 at 2 Villiers Street, London next to the Strand. The company was small in the beginning, having only one printing press and one assistant.Weedon.A (2004a) 'Clowes, William (1779–1847)', Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press (available online), accessed 2011-06-25. Clowes worked for three days and nights to finish his first job, which satisfied the customer. Business soon grew from word of mouth, as customers were impressed with the company's speed and accuracy.

Expansion and steam powered presses

Expansion and steam powered presses
The company expanded in 1823 with the purchase of Northumberland Court and the installation of its first steam-powered presses (made by Applegath and Cowper). However, the new noisy presses disturbed the Duke of Northumberland, whose palace was nearby, and he ordered the company to cease operation. When Clowes refused, the case was tried in court in June 1824, where the printer won with the help of his attorney John Copley.Smiles.S (1884) 'William Clowes: introducer of book-printing by steam' in Men of invention and industry (available online at Project Gutenberg). Retrieved 2011-06-25. Clowes agreed to move the presses though in exchange for a sum paid by the Duke. The exchange proved fruitful for Clowes, as the bankruptcy of Archibald Constable caused a short period of bad business that afflicted the London publishing industry and the Duke's compensation helped offset the large losses Clowes experienced during this time.
In 1826, the company purchased and moved to premises on Duke Street (now Duchy Street), Lambeth. This had previously been occupied by Applegath and Cowper. The firm, which was renamed at William Clowes and Sons in 1839, grew rapidly, and by 1843 was one of the largest printing companies in the world: it operated 24 presses and had its own type and stereotype foundries, 2500 tonnes of stereotyped plates (at the time worth at least 500,000 pounds sterling), and a collection of 80,000 woodcuts. In 1847, Clowes died, and three of his sons, William Clowes the younger (1807–1883), Winchester, and George, took over running the company. In 1851, the company secured a large contract to print half a million catalogues for the Great Exhibition. The project involved the use of 50 tonnes of type, 30,000 reams of paper and three tonnes of ink.Weedon.A (2004b) 'Clowes, William, the younger (1807–1883)', Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, (available online), accessed 2011-06-25.

In 1873, William Clowes the younger's eldest son, William Archibald Clowes (1843–1904), and his nephew William Charles Knight Clowes (1838–1917) entered a partnership with William Moore, who operated the Caxton Press in Beccles, Suffolk. Although Moore suddenly disappeared, leaving a considerable debt, the firm survived and was re-established as Clowes and Clowes. It grew from operating four presses to 15 in just three years. In 1880, Clowes and Clowes merged with William Clowes & Sons to form William Clowes Ltd.

Relocation to Beccles
The company continued operating into the 20th century, but suffered a setback during World War II, when the Blitz destroyed its Duke Street offices. Following the war, the firm decided to concentrate on expanding its presses in Beccles. In the late 1970s, computerised phototypesetting was introduced to the company which has continued to invest in digital technology. The company sold its old Beccles premises in 2003 and moved to a new, custom-built factory at Ellough on the outskirts of Beccles in 2004.Staff call for safe route to work, BBC news website, 2008-02-28.

The attacks
As worshippers were leaving the Buratha Mosque, a historic mosque and Shi'ite holy place in the Karkh district of Baghdad, after Friday prayers, one of three suicide bombers, two out of the three were dressed as women, detonated himself after passing through the women's security checkpoint, and entering the mosque. The second suicide bomber detonated inside the courtyard of the mosque and the third bomber detonated inside the office of Sheikh Jalaluddin al-Saghir, a member of the Iraqi parliament, in an attempt to assassinate him. However, al-Saghir was unharmed in the attack.
In the end the three bombers managed to kill 85 people, and injure 160.

Welcome To The Jungle (2007 film)

Apparent self-promotion for non-notable, unverifiable student/amateur film project. ~Matticus TC 08:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete - No assertion of notability, unknown actors, unknown everything but a pure plot summary. –Pomte 09:03, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete. Unless the author can provide some sources (I can't find any) that this is a legitimate film, and that it's notable in some way, I can't see how we can keep it. The plot is also so stupid that it might actually be a hoax. Not that there haven't been stupid Hollywood action films (which might be the author's point), but there's no indication this is a real film that any legitimate film executive would spare a microsecond for.—Carolfrog 17:29, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete. I couldn't find anything about the film anywhere, appears to be non-notable. --Nehrams2020 18:33, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Usage
Three principal varieties of tungi grow on Saint Helena, but only two are used in the production of Tungi spirit. These are both examples of the largest fruit grown: the "English" (or yellow) fruit and the "Madeira" (or large red) fruit. These are cultivars of Opuntia ficus indica. The small "spiny red" tungi fruits (O. elatior) are not normally used for distillation, despite remaining in season for almost eight months of the year. By comparison with the large varieties, their juice content is low.
