Hello,
I mostly contribute to the Turkish Wikipedia, and I definitely don’t have any other accounts or engage in sockpuppetry. I fully support re-running all IP checks. I’m very passionate about classical music, and on all Wiki platforms I mainly edit articles about classical music. I’m currently a 23-year-old university student in Istanbul. I also founded a Wiki student club at my university, where I organize various events to properly promote Wiki and introduce it to young people. I’m also a Wikimedia Community User Group Turkey member and I'm attending face to face events in person; if needed, I can even share photos from those events via Wikimedia Commons. I have never done paid editing (UPE) and I never will. To prove my innocence, I’m ready to cooperate fully with any investigation, including IP checks and behavior reviews. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions or need any evidence.
Best, Piyanist (talk) 08:36, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

- it's almost four months since Yagmuroglu's last edit, so it's probably stale. Obviously, if a CU thinks it's still worth looking into, they should just overrule my decline. In any case, is there any actual abuse of multiple accounts here, even if they are both operated by the same individual? DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:09, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
Off-wiki evidence suggests Yagmuroglu is UPE. Both users also appear to be of the same nationality. It is certainly possible they are the same individual, or connected IRL. I'll go and poke with a stick, see what happens. DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:13, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

While she fully partakes in her daughters' games, Chilli is much more level-headed and acts as a balance to the chaos. However, she can join in with the chaos when she sees fit. When not playing games, Chilli is depicted as a caring and comforting mother who wants the best for her daughters. While raising Bluey, Chilli, seeing Wendy's daughter Judo being the first to get sit up by herself, initially set herself the goal to get Bluey to walk before Judo could, but she failed, causing her to believe that she was a bad mother. However, she was told by Coco's mum, Bella, that she was doing good nonetheless. Ultimately, Bluey learned to walk when trying to hug Chilli. |

Draft:End turn | AFC submission |
is a goofy brain rot game turn based game that is still WIP (work in progress) ever since its release on April 18th, 2024. It is a single developer project only available to play on the online programming community/website called . The single developers scratch username is umueveys and is a slow rising star game developer who enjoys the hit franchise Dragon Ball Z. He is known to let people know in the changelogs of all updates and timestamps of when he made those changes and is a very reliable developer. The game currently as of May 20th 2025 has only 12 favorites, likes, 5 remixes, and has 167 views. It has a very dedicated fan base with an official fanclub discord server with the developer as a moderator known as the .
Lore
When you first click the green flag and load in you are greeted with 3 options showing you the game mechanics, initiating the actual game, or introducing you to the lore. The lore begins as you are a green circle named Hubert who has suddenly found himself awakened somewhere he has never been before with thoughts racing throughout his mind but his first thought is to escape. With Hubert's mind racing he comes across foes who's ranking and strength are determined by their shapes with hexagons being the strongest and highest ranking and circles being the lowest rank and are fairly weak. So Hubert must fight his way through this mysterious place and find a way out, or he may pay the price thinking he can defeat so many enemies that are mewing.
Gameplay
To begin the game instead of clicking the other two options you must choose the green initiate button. There is a tutorial you may watch in order to learn how to play but you can also skip it if you already know how to play. To fight and heal you click the button with the card deck on it on the bottom left of the screen and choose a red card, green card to heal yourself, grey card to stun the opponent, blue card to buff yourself, and white card for miscellaneous things but in order to do any of these options you need adrenaline. The yellow shield button on the bottom left next to the action button is to parry an incoming attack from the opponent and when you do you gain adrenaline and parrying does not require adrenaline but if the opponent does not attack you are stunned for the next turn. You have a health of 3 bars and can carry 6 adrenaline at max. You can also click the green end turn button without doing any actions giving you 1 adrenaline and skips your current turn.
Conclusion
Is currently approaching popularity this year as more and more players are slowly starting to recognize while TV_WAS_TAKEN and sunnysun600 work hard to advertise the game throughout their areas. It is expected when umueveys finishes he will begin a new game although this information has not been disclosed yet as the owner has not responded to this question yet. |

Service history
The Sirius class were originally constructed as patrol ships for the Government Navy for service in the Dutch East Indies. Upon the outbreak of the Second World War, these ships were militarized and commissioned into the Royal Netherlands Navy. Initially only equipped with a cannon, they received a machine gun as air defense weapon upon their militarization.
HNLMS Sirius patrolled around western Java together with HNLMS Reiger until they were attacked on 28 February 1942 by Japanese bomber aircraft. A near-miss damaged Sirius hull and forced her to retreat to Tandjong Priok harbor. Upon her retreat she was spotted and come under fire again causing her captain to decide to ground the vessel on a nearby beach. The crew was able to escape the sinking vessel. HNLMS Wega was stationed as a patrol ship near Singapore and northern Sumatra. There, she became the target of Japanese bombers on 26 January 1942. While attempting to evade, Wega received three direct hits causing her captain to decide to beach the ship. Before reaching the beach, the order was given to abandon ship, allowing the crew to safely reach shore even though Wega'' sank. |

Starting in 1960, he worked as a musical advisor for LS1 Radio Municipal and later for the EMI Odeón record label until 1983. Among his extensive discography, solo piano records and the recording of Orchestra and Guitar together with Roberto Grela stand out.
In the 1970s, he led his orchestra, Tango All Stars, on a tour through forty cities in Japan, in addition to tours throughout the country and abroad.

He began his professional journey at the travel desk of the Taj group. In 1986, with financial support from Tata Industries, he launched Stallion Travel Services. Tata Group companies were subsequently directed to utilise Stallion’s services for their travel needs.
In 2006, Stallion was integrated into a Taj Hotels subsidiary, leading to Dutta’s appointment as director of the resulting firm, Inditravel. He ranked among the highest-paid executives at Taj during his tenure. The travel services division was later transferred to Tata Capital in 2015, which eventually sold it to Thomas Cook India in 2017. Dutta continued to hold a board seat until 2019, when the business was consolidated under Thomas Cook.
He was also a director of TC Travel Services, an erstwhile affiliate of Thomas Cook. |
Mohini Mohan Dutta | Aftermath Ratan Tata's Demise | Aftermath Ratan Tata's Demise
Mohini Mohan Dutta initially expressed reservations regarding the distribution of Ratan Tata’s estate.
He was unable to legally contest the will due to a “no-contest” clause and agreed to the conditions outlined in the late industrialist’s will, which allocates him one-third of Tata’s residual estate, estimated to be worth approximately Rs 588 crore along with over one lakh shares of Tata Capital. The rest of the residual estate—excluding real estate and shareholdings—will be equally divided between Tata’s two half-sisters, Shireen Jejeebhoy and Deanna Jejeebhoy.
Among the recipients named in the will, Dutta is the only individual outside the Tata lineage to be awarded a share of such magnitude. |

Doubleday Broadcasting Co. | Short description | Doubleday Broadcasting Co. owned and operated radio and television stations throughout the United States over a 20-year period from 1967 to 1986. It grew from a handful of stations in medium and smaller markets to operating major market properties: three AM stations and seven FM stations—the maximum allowed by the FCC at the time. |
Doubleday Broadcasting Co. | Origins | Origins
Doubleday Broadcasting was a wholly-owned subsidiary of publisher Doubleday and Company. In 1967, it acquired the radio and television properties of Texas-based Trigg-Vaughn Stations, Inc. The $14 million purchase price included three television stations and seven radio stations: Trigg-Vaughn retained ownership of radio station KOSA, Odessa, Texas.
KOSA -TV, Odessa-Midland, Texas
KROD AM-TV, El Paso, Texas
KITE AM-FM, Terrell Hills-San Antonio, Texas
KDTV(TV), Dallas, Texas (unbuilt)
KRNO San Bernadino, California
KHOW Denver, Colorado
KDEF AM-FM, Albuquerque, New Mexico
Founder Cecil L. Trigg continued to direct the enterprise as president of Doubleday Broadcasting, but resigned in November 1967. |
Doubleday Broadcasting Co. | Initial expansion | Initial expansion
In early 1968, Doubleday began to make changes in the company's line-up of stations. It acquired KMYR(FM), Denver, for $101,000, to pair with KHOW. The call sign was changed to KHOW-FM, and later, KXKX(FM), then KPKE(FM).
In May 1968, Doubleday announced its offer for the sale of stations KITE, KITE-FM, KROD, and KRNO, evincing a determination to focus on larger markets.
In June 1969, David G. Scribner, vice president and general manager of KITE AM -FM, was named president of the company. Scribner had joined the Trigg-Vaughn group in 1957 and rose through the ranks to become vice-president of radio, and after the Doubleday acquisition, general manager of KITE.
During Scribner's tenure, the company's parent, Doubleday and Co., created two subsidiaries as adjuncts to the broadcasting enterprise: broadcast brokerage firm Doubleday Media., and Doubleday Advertising Co.
In the spring of 1971, Doubleday acquired Station KRIZ, Phoenix, Arizona, for $1 million, from John L. Wheeler and James Manning.
In January 1973, Doubleday acquired KDWB, St. Paul, Minnesota, from Valjon, Inc., for $3.25 million. In April 1973, Doubleday sold KDEF AM-FM and KROD to Desert Horizons, Inc., a subsidiary of publicly-owned group Media Horizons, Inc., for $1,250,000. In September 1973, Doubleday sold KOSA-TV to Forward Communications of Texas, Inc., for $2.25 million. By year's end, Doubleday donated KDTV to Christian Broadcasting Network, Inc., through a gift of stock valued at $2 million. |
Doubleday Broadcasting Co. | Corporate changes and further expansion | Corporate changes and further expansion
In April 1974, Gary Stevens, vice president and general manager of KRIZ, was appointed vice president and general manager of KDWB. Two years later, he was promoted to senior vice president for research and development of Doubleday Broadcasting. In December 1977, Stevens replaced David Scribner as president of Doubleday Broadcasting. Scribner bought KIDN, Pueblo, Colorado, in November 1979, for $780,000.
In expansion mode, in April 1974, Doubleday applied to the FCC to acquire the license of KWK, St. Louis, Missouri, from its trustee in bankruptcy, Curtis L. Mann, for $630,000. Commission approval of the acquisition was delayed until August 1976, pending grant of the KWK license renewal application and removal of a competing application to operate on the frequency.
In September 1974, Doubleday sold KDBC-TV (formerly KROD-TV) to Portal Communications, Inc., a subsidiary of Evening Post Publishing Co., for $5 million. With this, Doubleday exited the television market.
In July 1976, Doubleday acquired an FM companion to KDWB from Fairchild Minnesota for $800,000: WYOO-FM, licensed to the Twin Cities suburb of Richfield, Minnesota. The call sign was changed to KDWB-FM.
In July 1978, Doubleday sold KRIZ to Family Life Broadcasting System for $700,000.
In October 1978, Doubleday sold its San Antonio stations: KITE was sold to Lone Star Radio, Inc. for $750,000. KITE-FM was sold to Lotus Texas Corp. for $750,000.
In February 1979, Doubleday acquired an FM companion to KWK from Charles H. Norman for $2M: WGNU-FM, licensed to Granite City, Illinois. The call sign was changed to WWWK(FM), and later, KWK-FM.Doubleday engaged in a protracted legal battle for the call sign "KWK-FM", to align with KWK. The FCC declined to grant the call sign change on the grounds that Granite City was not contiguous to St. Louis, since it was located across the Mississippi River, the K/W call sign demarcation. The federal appellate court reversed the FCC, noting the Commission had granted many similar exceptions to the rule in the past. Doubleday Broadcasting Company, Inc., v. FCC, 655 F2d 417 (D.C. Cir. 1981).
In July 1980, Doubleday acquired WBFG(FM), Detroit, from Trinity Broadcasting Co., for $8.25 million, a record price for an FM station. The company hailed the purchase as a first step of an asserted effort to double the size of its broadcast holdings, aiming at the top 10 markets. The call sign was changed to WLLZ(FM).
In December 1981, Doubleday sold KHOW to Metromedia, Inc., for $15 million. This marked the sale of the last of the original Trigg-Vaughn stations.
Also in December 1981, Doubleday acquired WAVA-FM, Arlington, Virginia, from WAVA, Ltd., for $8 million.
In March 1982, Doubleday acquired WTFM(FM), licensed to Lake Success in suburban New York City, from Friendly Frost, Inc., for $8.7 million. The call sign was changed to WAPP(FM). |
Doubleday Broadcasting Co. | Multiple ownership | Multiple ownership
In October 1982, Doubleday petitioned the FCC to revise its ownership regulations, which limited a single broadcaster to owning a maximum of seven AM, seven FM, and seven TV stations. Doubleday proposed that the Commission modify the rule to permit ownership of 14 radio stations, whether AM or FM. Broadcasting magazine took an editorial position in favor of the proposal, contending, "The rule of seven never made any sense. It attaches the same value and influence to seven stations in the seven biggest markets and seven stations in the seven smallest." In July 1984, the Commission relaxed the limits to permit ownership of up to 12 stations in each service.Amendment of the Commission's Rules Relating to Multiple Ownership of AM, FM and Television Broadcast Stations, 49 Fed. Reg. 31877 (August 9, 1984) |
Doubleday Broadcasting Co. | Program syndication | Program syndication
In April 1983, Doubleday, in conjunction with Mutual Broadcasting, launched the syndicated weekly radio AOR magazine "Rock USA," which, within two months, was carried on more than 100 stations nationwide. The three-hour program originated in the WAPP studios and was delivered via satellite. Mutual pulled the plug on the program in early 1984 due to apparent poor clearance in major markets. |
Doubleday Broadcasting Co. | Final expansion | Final expansion
In April 1983, Doubleday acquired WMET(FM), Chicago, from Metromedia, Inc., for $9.5 million. This was the company's seventh FM station acquisition, maxing out FM station ownership under FCC regulations, and constituted the zenith of Doubleday's expansion efforts into major market radio. The lineup was:
+ Doubleday FM Markets Rank City Station #1 New York WAPP #3 Chicago WMET #8 Detroit WLLZ #10 Washington DC WAVA #14 Minneapolis-St. Paul KDWB-FM #17 St. Louis KWK-FM #18 Denver KPKE
Doubleday's two AM stations, KDWB and KWK, rounded out the company's portfolio.
Citing underperformance, Doubleday sold KWK and KWK-FM to Robinson Broadcasting in February 1984 for $4.5 million.
In January 1985, Doubleday acquired WHN, New York City, from Mutual Broadcasting, to pair with its WAPP(FM). The $13 million price tag was the largest standalone AM sale of the year. It was the company's final acquisition. In May 1985, Doubleday announced its plans to relocate WHN and WAPP(FM) to the historic Kaufman Astoria Studios in Queens. |
Doubleday Broadcasting Co. | Selloff | Selloff
In November 1985, Doubleday agreed to sell four of its stations to a new entity headed by Robert Sillerman, for $27 million, to help reduce the debt of its parent, Doubleday and Co.Doubleday acquired a controlling interest in the New York Mets in 1980 for a record price of $21.1 million. The team was losing money, an estimated $1 million in 1982 alone. The deal included KDWB AM-FM, WLLZ(FM), and KPKE(FM). That same month, it agreed to sell WMET(FM) to World Class Communications, Inc., for $12.5 million.
In January 1986, Gary Stevens left Doubleday to become a first vice president of investment banking and brokerage firm Wertheim & Co., with a focus on mergers and acquisitions in the communications field. In February 1988, he left Wertheim to form his own brokerage firm, Gary Stevens & Company.
In March 1986, Doubleday agreed to sell WHN/WAPP(FM) and WAVA(FM) to Emmis Broadcasting for a total of $53 million, broken down $15 million for WHN, $21 million for WAPP(FM), and $17 million for WAVA(FM). The deal closed five months later. Emmis changed the WAPP call sign to WQHT. The sale represented Doubleday's exit from radio broadcasting). |

Chicken nanban (Tori nanban, 鶏南蛮, or チキン南蛮) is a Japanese fried chicken dish that originated in the Kyushu region, particularly in Miyazaki Prefecture. |
Draft:Chicken nanban | Overview | Overview
Chicken Nanban is a regional Japanese dish originating from Miyazaki Prefecture in the Kyushu region. It consists of deep-fried chicken that is marinated in a sweet and tangy vinegar-based sauce—known as "nanban sauce"—and typically topped with tartar sauce. The dish blends Western-style frying techniques with Japanese seasoning, creating a unique flavor profile that is both savory and refreshing.
Originally inspired by Portuguese and Western cuisine influences during the Nanban trade period (16th century), Chicken Nanban has become a staple of Kyushu cuisine and is now popular throughout Japan. It is often served as a teishoku (set meal) in restaurants, accompanied by rice and miso soup. While many variations exist, the defining features are the vinegar marinade and creamy tartar topping. |
