Comment Well, that's a lot of good images. However, I'm afraid that they will have to be nominated separately. --KFP (talk | contribs) 23:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Support: 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Oppose: 5. Neutral: 1. Can see: 2 Animal cell can be shown better, namely the chromatin and the neuclous isn't very clear. Sodium channels on #1 need to be labled. I can't see #2. (I also added the number lables for the purpose of identification in the votes) -Fcb981 23:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Please, for the love of God don't vote on these. It'd take a week to close a nom like this. :) --KFP (talk | contribs) 23:56, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Hahaha. lol. Then I'm sorry. --Arad 00:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
I've fixed #2 so it can seen now. —Pengo 08:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
oppose procedurally - there is no community consensus on what to do with a set like this. First of all, they aren't united by a theme. What article do they illustrate? If we let these nominations linger a full week, it will be a nasty burden on whoever has to close the nomination. Let's go to the talk page, hammer out some ideas and then re-nominate.

Oppose as set They illustrate so different things, that I see no reason to bunch them together as an "FP set". This is quite different from the Mandelbrot FP, where the images formed an unbroken sequence. --Janke | Talk 13:15, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

This page is a hoax as player never existed and does not show up in any official list for players on the teams he is listed to play for. The prod has been removed a few times. Djsasso 22:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete as complete hoax. Quick search for ""seth greenstein" +nhl -wikipedia" in Google turns up a document mentioning a lawyer for the Digital Media Association, and no hockey players by that name. Fails WP:A. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 23:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Also, it helps when the hoax person's name isn't just a random actor's name combined with a common suffix for Jewish names. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 06:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete as hoax. Neither hockeydb nor the Hockey Hall of Fame have heard of this individual, and both list every player to have played in the NHL. Resolute 00:08, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Elcho Shield | Short description | The Elcho Shield is an annual long range shooting competition between national teams of eight from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. The trophy holder was originally able to choose the venue of the competition, however, since the NRA's move to Surrey from Wimbledon in 1890, the competition has been held at National Shooting Centre, Bisley in Surrey, England. It is usually contested during the NRA Imperial Meeting.
The 2021 holder of the trophy is England. |
Elcho Shield | Course of Fire | Course of Fire
Each shooter fires fifteen shots at , , and . Unusually, no "sighting" or practice shots are permitted. The shooters may be coached which allows other team members to judge and make necessary adjustments to the shooter's sights. The rules allow each team two hours at each distance to fire all their shots. The match is most regularly held following the national championships in July each year. |
Elcho Shield | History | History
The first match, on Wednesday July 9, 1862, was held over , and solely between Scotland and England. In the event England won by 166 points. Scotland won the trophy for the first time in 1864. As the match was restricted to Volunteers, Ireland was unable to participate - having no Volunteer regiments. After several applications, the NRA permitted the Ulster Rifle Association to send a team and Ireland joined the fray in 1865. Ireland scored their first win in 1873. By this time, the match had become a major sporting event in Victorian England, as important as The Boat Race or the Eton v Harrow cricket match at Lords. Wales did not compete until 1991.
The Elcho Shield is large and distinctive, made from a sheet of iron decorated with repousse scenes to a design by the artist G. F. Watts. It was presented to the National Rifle Association by its founder and president, Lord Elcho. |

Seiçal River | short description | The Seiçal River ( or , ) is a major river in northeastern Timor-Leste. It flows for the most part in a northerly direction from headwaters in Timor's central mountains; after running past the eastern edge of the Baucau Plateau, it discharges into Wetar Strait. |
Seiçal River | Course | Course
left|thumb|View across the Seiçal River to Mount Matebian|alt=View across the Seiçal River to Mount Matebian
The river rises in Timor's central mountains south of the city of Baucau. Its headwaters are at in Ossu administrative post, Viqueque municipality. From there, the river's upper tributaries flow generally northwards, along the border between Viqueque and Baucau municipalities.
The river itself begins at the confluence of the Sauma and Culo Rivers; at first, it similarly flows northwards along the intermunicipal border. Other tributaries rise in some of the south central sucos of Baucau municipality.
At the point where the Saluhada River enters the Seiçal River, still on the border between the two municipalities, the latter river's main channel flows into Baucau municipality, through which it proceeds generally northeastwards, until it discharges into Wetar Strait northeast of Baucau city.
The river is one of Timor-Leste's few perennial streams, and the only one in its immediate vicinity. It is also one of only three such watercourses in the north of the country that can potentially be inhabited by saltwater crocodiles all year round (the others being the Loes and the North Laclo).
The main channel's riverbed is filled with rubble. Its highly unstable floodplain is the most significant in the area, and extends from the central mountains to the strait. Islets in the river are divided by a plethora of braided channels, and adorned with Casuarina. Where the lower reaches of the main channel pass the Baucau Plateau to its west, an escarpment drops down from the plateau to the river's alluvial plain. Near the river mouth, the river is shallow and extremely unstable, and there are many sandbanks, oxbows and scrolls.
In order of entrance, the river's major tributaries include the following:
Aetalabere River: rises in Suco , Ossu administrative post, Viqueque municipality; flows east, and then northeast, to the border between Viqueque and Baucau municipalities; from there, it continues northeast, along that border, until it merges with the Uroassalae River (see below) to form the Sauma River (see below);
Uroassalae River: rises in Suco , Ossu, Viqueque; flows north, through a gorge it has cut between Mount Venilale and , to the border between Viqueque and Baucau municipalities, where it merges with the Aetalabere River (see above) to form the Sauma River (see below);
Sauma River: flows from the confluence of the Aetalabere and Uroassalae Rivers (see above) generally northwards, along the border between Viqueque and Baucau municipalities, until it merges with the Culo River (see below) to form the Seiçal River;
Culo River: rises in the north of Suco Uaibobo, Ossu, Viqueque, and flows generally northwest to the border between Viqueque and Baucau municipalities, where it merges with the Sauma River (see above) to form the Seiçal River;
Saluhada River: rises as the Acanau River in the southwest of Quelicai administrative post, Baucau municipality; flows generally westwards, changing its name to Saluhada River on its way to the border between Baucau and Viqueque municipalities, at which point it merges with a tributary, the Cassaquiar River; continues along that border until it enters the Seiçal River at the point where the latter river flows into Baucau municipality;
Cainame River: rises in the east of Venilale administrative post, Baucau municipality; flows generally eastwards until it enters the Seiçal River a short distance downstream from where the latter river flows into Baucau municipality;
Leulolo River: rises in Suco , Baucau administrative post, Baucau municipality; flows generally northwards until it enters the Seiçal River. |
Seiçal River | Catchment | Catchment

The river's catchment or drainage basin is one of Timor-Leste's 10 major catchments, and is approximately in area.
Timor-Leste has been broadly divided into twelve 'hydrologic units', groupings of climatologically and physiographically similar and adjacent river catchments. The Seiçal River catchment is one of the five major catchments in the Seiçal hydrologic unit, which is about in total area, and covers 10.2% of the country; the others are the catchments of the Uaimuhi, Laivai, Raumoco and Malailada rivers.
The catchment is made up mostly of Bobonaro Scaly Clay, deeply dissected by rivers and rivulets. Areas of scaly clay can generally be easily identified by the scattered Casuarina junghuhniana trees growing within them. Watercourses passing over the scaly clay have caused severe erosion, gullying, landsliding and slumping, and typically flow through V-shaped valleys and rapids.
In the upper reaches of the catchment, the principal natural form of biosystem is casuarina savanna; in the catchment's floodplain, acacia savanna is the dominant natural landscape. Savanna is by far the most common natural ecosystem type not only in the catchment, but also throughout the Lesser Sunda Islands, of which Timor is a part. |

Seiçal River | Cultivation | Cultivation
thumb|Rice harvesting near the village of Seiçal in the floodplain|alt=Rice harvesting near the village of Seiçal River in the river floodplain
The floodplain in the lower reaches of the Seiçal River is near level with a gradient not exceeding 3°. In terms of topography, it is therefore suitable for cultivation, although considerable limitations are imposed by rock outcrops (such as the Baucau Plateau) on its usefulness for that purpose.
Both in the catchment and in Timor more generally, two main types of cultivation have traditionally been practised. The chief type, known locally as , is a form of land rotation combined with fallow periods. It tends to dominate on steep, sandy or stony fields, in recently deforested areas, and in forested areas where the soil is loose and does not require tillage, which is referred to locally as . The other main type of cultivation is , which as its name suggests involves tillage. usually achieves better results, but is feasible only on deep, non-sandy soils. It is also far more labour intensive, with the consequence that Timorese tend to engage in it only when they feel compelled to do so, commonly as a result of population pressure.
The staple crop in the catchment and in Timor is maize, known locally as , which is grown in a number of different varieties distinguished by colour. Maize was probably introduced to Timor by the Portuguese, and is easy to grow there; as early as William Dampier's visit to Timor in 1699, it was already the island's number one crop. Other crops grown in the dryland areas of the catchment include tubers such as cassava (Manihot utilissima), yams (eg Dioscorea alata), taro (including Colocasia esculenta), and sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas), and also dryland rice. Additionally, residents of the catchment practise house or mixed gardening of a diverse range of flora, including fruit trees, bamboos, banana trees, climbing and winding plants, vegetables, tubers, etc.
Especially, but not only, in the alluvial floodplain of the catchment, there are paddy fields for the cultivation of wet rice. At the mouth of the river, the paddy fields are saline; mud flats north of the Baucau–Lautém road are not cultivated due to the risk of incoming seawater during the northwest monsoon. The catchment is also the site of two irrigation schemes in Baucau municipality, the Seiçal Up and the Seiçal Down. As of 2002, however, the former was non-functional due to major intake damage, and the latter only partially functional because of a blocked main canal. |
Seiçal River | Grazing | Grazing
thumb|Cattle grazing near |alt=Cattle grazing near Mount Mundo Perdido
Another agricultural activity in the catchment is livestock grazing. Traditionally, most of the grazing is carried out in the form of relatively uncontrolled free ranging, both of large animals such as buffaloes, horses and Bali cattle or smaller livestock including pigs, goats and sheep.
The top ranking livestock are water buffaloes, which in Timor have traditionally been kept predominantly for prestige and sacrificial purposes, but are also sometimes been used for ploughing or 'treading' rice paddies. Horses are used as mounts and as pack animals, and similarly sometimes in paddy fields. Cattle were introduced to Timor in the early twentieth century, but a system of raising them on government farms was initiated in Portuguese Timor only in 1956. In contrast with the position in West Timor, the ensuing increase in the cattle population was not accompanied by a corresponding decrease in buffalo numbers; that is partly because In eastern Timor cattle do not perform the same function as buffalo, and require more supervision.
In relation to the grazing of large livestock, a difficulty is presented by the dry season in the catchment, during which grasses are withered and have very low nutritive value, and supplementary feeding of hay and silage is little known. To some extent, this difficulty can be addressed by the raising of cattle instead of buffalo, and by the driving of livestock to the area's perennial streams, including the Seiçal River, or to the mountains. However, transhumance is not widely practised in the catchment.
Of the smaller livestock kept in the catchment and in Timor, pigs are of a social significance second only to that of buffaloes, as they, too, are important for traditional sacrifices and ceremonial feasts. East Timorese pigs are usually black, and smaller than their European counterparts. They are scavengers, and therefore useful for keeping village compounds clean; especially at harvest time, pigs are either tethered or kept in sties. Also sometimes used for sacrificial purposes are goats, and to a lesser extent sheep. |

Camille Cazedessus Jr. | Short description | Camille Cazedessus II (born December 8, 1938), also known as "Caz", is an American editor and publisher. Known for his works about Edgar Rice Burroughs and pulp fiction, he has published over 250 periodicals on the topics since 1960 under the titles ERB-dom, The Fantasy Collector and, since 1997, Pulpdom. He has also written about Kit Carson and taught Western history. |
Camille Cazedessus Jr. | Biography | Biography |
Camille Cazedessus Jr. | Early life | Early life
Cazedessus was born December 8, 1938, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the only child of engineer Camille Cazedessus. He graduated from Baton Rouge High School in 1957 and Spring Hill College in 1961. He also attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and New Mexico Highlands College in Las Vegas, New Mexico, and Fort Lewis College, in each case studying American and South West history. |
Camille Cazedessus Jr. | Career | Career
Cazedessus organized and led the first teenage rock and roll band in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in the autumn of 1956: The Dots. He was lead singer and rhythm guitar until the autumn of 1957, when he relinquished the band to Lenny Capella and enrolled in Spring Hill College, Mobile, Alabama.
Later, as fans of the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Cazedessus and Alfred Guillory Jr. launched the fanzine ERB-dom in May, 1960. Following Guillory's death the following year, Caz became the magazine's sole editor and publisher. ERB-dom was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Fanzine in 1964 and 1966, winning the award in 1966. ERB-dom went monthly in January 1970 with full color covers. In 1974 it returned to less frequent publication, and the "final" issue, no. 89, was published in November 1976.
In December 1988, Caz revived his old ad-zine, The Fantasy Collector in Dec 1988 with #201, now reprinting fiction. It retitled as The Fantastic Collector with #228 (March 1991). It would later incorporate ERB-dom in December 1993, with each issue being double named & numbered ("Fantastic Collector #248/ERB-dom #90), and in January 1997 changed the name to Pulpdom, which continued for 75 issues, the last in August 2013.

Comment Well, that's a lot of good images. However, I'm afraid that they will have to be nominated separately. --KFP (talk | contribs) 23:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I remember that we already had a FP set before. --Arad 23:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
True, but these are used in different articles. --KFP (talk | contribs) 23:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Support all EXEPT #2 #2 is on the simple side to be featured, I think. -Fcb981 23:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment I think we need to define what a "set" of featured pictures is. I don't think it applies in this case though since the only commonality is the creator. Oppose procedurally therefore, I'd be up for supporting individual images though. LadyofHats needs more barnstars though. ~ trialsanderrors 00:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Strongly oppose 6, 10, 11, 12: The drawings are great, but following the labels is like watching a tennis match (though at least they're not just numbers). Most of these drawings could use image maps too. I made one for number three just a week ago (after moving the labels slightly). I'm also not sure about having a group of images going through FPC together and oppose procedurally as per Trialsanderrors. —Pengo 00:15, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment I started a discussion on featured sets at WT:FPC. ~ trialsanderrors 00:48, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Oppose as set There is some duplication among these, at least visually, and not all are FP quality, IMO. This is quite different from the Mandelbrot FP, where the images formed an unbroken sequence. --Janke | Talk 13:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Oppose as set per above gren グレン 08:46, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Oppose as set Tomer T 19:10, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
without prejudice. Feel free to renominate if and when featured picture sets become a reality, or individually. MER-C 08:45, 14 March 2007 (UTC) |

Artificial Intelligence (John Cale album) | Use dmy dates | Artificial Intelligence is the tenth solo studio album by the Welsh rock musician John Cale, released on 6 September 1985 by Beggars Banquet Records. |
Artificial Intelligence (John Cale album) | Background and recording | Background and recording
Artificial Intelligence was originally titled Black Rose. The title and some changes to the tracks delayed the album being released for five weeks.
Having produced Nico's sixth and final studio album Camera Obscura (1985), Cale recorded this album in three weeks at Strongroom Studios with her backing band, the Faction, with a couple of additional musicians. The duo of Gill O'Donovan and
Susie O'List who performed backing vocals on this album had previously performed backing vocals on tours with Eurythmics.
Larry Sloman, who had co-written two tracks for Cale's previous studio album, Caribbean Sunset (1984), co-wrote the majority of the lyrics for this album, with "Dying on the Vine" being almost entirely written by him. https://jonimitchell.com/library/print.cfm?id=2755
Graham Dowdall, who played percussion on the album, reflected that "[working on the album was] not a great experience, to be honest. Everyday started productively – until the coke and the champagne hit a certain wall, then it would get horrible. He'd lock us out of the studio. He'd erase really good bits and cover everything with guitar solos. By four in the morning, five in the morning, great tracks had been ruined."https://thequietus.com/interviews/gagarin-interview/
Following the chaotic period during which the album (and the previous two) had been recorded, John and Risé Irushalmi Cale's daughter Eden was born, which promptly caused Cale to kick his addictions to alcohol and cocaine, and to temporarily abandon recording studio albums and performing live in favour of other projects (until 1989's Words for the Dying).
In a 2005 interview, Cale spoke of how he wished that more people had listened to Artifical Intelligence, as he felt that there were "some very good songs on there."https://www.elsewhere.co.nz/absoluteelsewhere/401/john-cale-interviewed-2005-flipping-the-velvet/ |

Artificial Intelligence was released on 6 September 1985 by Beggars Banquet Records, his only release for the label. "Dying on the Vine" was released as a single in the UK and "Satellite Walk" (Remixed by Carl Beatty) in the UK and Germany. The otherwise unavailable instrumental track "Crash Course in Harmonics" was on the B-side of "Dying on the Vine".
Along with Words for the Dying, it one of only two studio albums available for download on Cale's Bandcamp.https://johncale.bandcamp.com/album/artificial-intelligence |

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, critic Stewart Mason described the album as "an encouraging partial return to form." Trouser Press wrote: "Moody and contained, but energetic and occasionally stimulating, A.I. is a reasonable if unspectacular addition to Cale’s extensive catalogue." |

The middle school is no longer considered separate from the high school. It is in the same building as the high school and shares many facilities. This led to the school's change of name.

On the Eve | short description | On the Eve (, Nakanune) is the third novel by Russian writer Ivan Turgenev. It has elements of social comedy but fell foul of radical critics who advocated the need of more overt reform. |
On the Eve | Plot | Plot
The story revolves around Elena Stakhova, a girl with a hypochondriac mother and an idle father, a retired guards lieutenant with a mistress. On the eve of the Crimean War, Elena is pursued by a free-spirited sculptor (Pavel Shubin) and a serious-minded student (Andrei Berzyenev). But when Berzyenev's revolutionary Bulgarian friend, Dmitri Insarov, meets Elena, they fall in love. In secretly marrying Insarov Elena disappoints her mother and enrages her father, who had hoped to marry her to a dull, self-satisfied functionary, Kurnatovski. Insarov nearly dies from pneumonia and only partly recovers. On the outbreak of war Insarov tries to return with Elena to Bulgaria, but dies in Venice. Elena takes Insarov's body to the Balkans for burial and then vanishes. |
On the Eve | Development and reception | Development and reception
Turgenev had long meditated On the Eve, wishing to represent a new type of idealistic but self-sacrificing heroine whom he eventually embodied in Elena. Following its long gestation, the book was written in a few months and first appeared in 1859 in the Moscow magazine The Russian Messenger, where it aroused interest but not universal approval.
Turgenev himself had misgivings about On the Eve and these were strengthened by the adverse reaction of Countess Lambert, to whom he had promised to dedicate the novel. He was on the point of burning the manuscript until a friend dissuaded him.Hisham Matar, “Rereading: On the Eve by Ivan Turgenev”, The Guardian, 30 Dec 2011 The novel’s structural weakness is noted by the Encyclopaedia Britannica, which describes it as “an episodic work, further weakened by the shallow portrayal of its Bulgarian hero”.Richard H. Freeborn, “Ivan Turgenev”
A key contributing circumstance was that the central plot was not of Turgenev’s invention. It derived from a notebook given him by Vassili Karatyeev before leaving for service in the Crimean War, from which the young recruit was not to return. Looking through its pages, Turgenev later recorded, “I found roughly sketched out what afterwards formed the subject of On the Eve, though the story was not completed and broke off abruptly. Karatyeev while in Moscow had become enamoured of a young woman who at first returned his love; later, however, she got to know a Bulgarian, fell in love with him and went away with him to Bulgaria, where he soon died. The story of this love was sincerely but clumsily recorded in the notebook - Karatyeev, indeed, was not born a writer. Only one scene, namely the journey to Tsaritsino, was depicted fairly vividly and I retained its main features.”Gilbert Gardiner, the introduction and appendix to his translation (1950)
According to Edward Garnett in his introduction to the first English translation (1895),University of Adelaide ebook, 2014 this reliance on a plot element based on the experience of another hindered Turgenev from characterising his hero successfully. Insarov was generally judged to be “a figure of wood”, and it was Elena who inspired most critical interest. Indeed, the first French translation of the novel in 1863 was titled simply Éléna, while the German translation of 1871 was similarly titled Helena, although with the Russian title bracketed after (translated as Am Vorabend).Michael Pursglove, Introduction to the 2017 translation |
