Legality and Can Spam Act[edit]
Many phone carriers are enabling amber alerts by default. Is that legal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 19:38, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
Missing sections[edit]
Seems there should be a section for criticisms, statistics for success and failure rates, and also examples of the "scams."
Obviously from this Talk page, there is plenty of controversy, disagreement, lack of clear data, and scamming going on in the country regarding Amber Alert. Yet this doesn't seem to be mentioned in the article.
Evidently there isn't a consensus and there's a problem with whether some sources are legitimate. But shouldn't these things at least be mentioned in the article, with their specifics omitted? I for one have no idea what the controversies and scams are ABOUT. I don't need names and places -- I just need to know the concepts. What is the controversy? Could the scams be described? Tragic romance 04:00, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Also, should an entire underlying concept be removed from an article just because its specifics are unsourced? Or should the specifics be removed, while leaving the concept intact? [For example, you wouldn't delete the entire "Hail Mary" section from the football article just because someone put in unsourced info about players and coaches who used it.]Tragic romance 04:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Requested image[edit]
A photo of an electronic traffic-condition sign displaying an AMBER alert would give the reader a more immediate understanding of what a typical alert consists of and how large a scope the alert actually has. Mrtea (talk) 06:19, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you, Author782! Mrtea (talk) 19:45, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Author782 09:01, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
A new image, Image:Amber1.PNG, was posted by ChrisRy5 on 3-SEP-2006. However, it's actual copyright status is uncertain - it is claimed to be public domain, but without actual source information, it will have to be removed. Kevyn 06:48, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Questions (removed from article)[edit]
I removed this html comment from the article: "When did the national system come online? What is the history of Canada's versions? Did Al Gore have something to do with proposing the U.S. system? (He was mentioned in a previous version of the article, but it was not clear whether the info was accurate)." Mrtea (talk) 19:51, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- I had put those questions in there to accompany the sectstub that was applicable to the History section. Someone squeezed in a new section above the stub and comments last month. I believe the history section is still not much of a history, so I am restoring the stub and will point to the talk page. — mjb 23:28, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Missing White Woman Syndrome[edit]
I removed this link from the see also. The program is used to help find children of a variety of colors and both genders in my area and I am sorry if it is only used to find white females in the area of whoever added it but it is not related to this article. - Kuzain 16:46, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Since Amber Alerts are predominantly concerned with white rich kids, particularly female, certainly the link about "Missing white woman syndrome" is relevant.
Kuzain censored it out because he or she doesn't want anything in the article that conflicts with his or her opinion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nehmo (talk • contribs).
- Can you back up this claim with some facts? If that link is to be there, it needs to be accompanied with properly sourced justification. In my case, the last two Amber Alerts that I've seen were for hispanics. --Bletch 13:34, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
I concur with Kuzain. The Amber Alert system has nothing to do with the cultural phenomenon "Missing White Woman Syndrome." I could see an article on "Missing White Woman Syndrome" referencing the Amber Alert article, but not the other way around.Tragic romance 03:29, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- As the article documents, the Amber Alert system was created in response to – and was promoted by – well-publicized cases of Missing White Girl Syndrome (such as Amber), so saying it "has nothing to do with" it, is simply incorrect. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 11:51, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
Amber Article on 3-01-06 is complete junk[edit]
This article as it was on 3-01-06 is emblematic of what is wrong with Wikipedia. It was an advertisement rather than an impartial encyclopedia-like article. Amber alerts, who issues them, how they are used, how much funding goes to them, and what happens to the funding, are controversial subjects. Promotional writings on Amber alerts deserve a skeptical eye.
There are so many people profiting from child protection scams, particularly the government sponsored ones, that nowadays in America, almost any program or agency claiming to help children should be suspect. Nobody should simply assume these programs or agencies are blossoming from the goodness of someone's heart. — Nehmo 15:06 1 March 2006 (UTC)
- Sign your post with four tildes (~~~~) next time (I added an attribution of your comment for you this time).
- You raise some excellent points, but you also demonstrated some of the other shortcomings of Wikipedia. For one, your attempts to correct the situation consisted of turning the article into a very informally phrased message board post; your contributions belie your frustration, as they sound more like sour grapes than anything academic. Also, the article was actually far more neutral before someone started messing with it on February 19. You should always check the recent history on an article that attracts scam artists because they tend to sneak things in, and they make their last change be a minor edit that causes people checking watchlists to overlook the more drastic changes made on the same day. That's pretty much what happened here (I'm not calling anyone a scammer, I'm just saying there were some less-than-ideal edits that snuck in). For now, I have reverted it to the last 'good' version. This also includes reverting the 'Successful Examples' section that was added by Zappa.jake; in hindsight, I think a discussion of examples should include a mention that unsuccessful examples are rarely publicized, and the likelihood that the 'success' of the system is hard to measure, since many cases are never proven to be abductions. So please review the current article and see what you think is needed, and let's discuss its shortcomings here (see below). — mjb 19:44, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Article changes needed[edit]
I think it's not necessary to elaborate on the criticisms of child protection scams in general, at least not in an article devoted to AMBER Alerts specifically, but I'd like to at least characterize the controversy (i.e., mention that it exists). Would you say that the system's high visibility is thought, by some, to feed into the public's paranoia and hysteria about child abductions? I think I would, but I can't cite a source for that.
What are some of the other criticisms?
Some of the contributions by Nehmo (click) that were removed when reverting the article to the relatively neutral version include the following:
- Who prompts the issuing of alerts? It was speculated that sometimes it is local police departments, and sometimes it is child protection services divisions of state governments, while some erroneously think it is the Dept. of Homeland Security. Who's doing the issuing and at whose behest seems like it should be verifiable info; would someone mind doing some Googling for that?
- It was speculated that an AMBER Alert wouldn't have helped Amber Hagerman, and "Maybe it was just a feel-good the media wanted after the kid's murder". Wikipedia is not the place for such speculation, but there might be ways we can work these points into the article when discussing the intent and justification of the system when it was created.
- Criteria for issuing an alert varies widely, and the state of Maine's criteria was given as an example, along with discussion of how other jurisdictions' criteria may differ. I think this is good stuff and can be restored, but it needs some phrasing cleanup. Did you (Nehmo) author it yourself or did you pull it from somewhere? It was formatted with hard line breaks which makes me think you copy-pasted it from somewhere.
- More examples of successes and failures were given. I like the general idea but it could grow out of hand; we need to first write some prose about the variable measures of 'success' and the fact that failures are not publicized. Then, any examples must have sources cited.
— mjb 19:44, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Nehmo, please adhere to Wikipedia conventions here. Don't split up someone's original comments. If you need to address them point-by-point, then make separate copies what you're responding to, and use indenting (everything at a particular indent level should be attributable to the same person, so they don't have to sign every paragraph). I've reformatted your replies below, and added my own responses. — mjb 11:40, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
I think it's not necessary to elaborate on the criticisms of child protection scams in general, at least not in an article devoted to AMBER Alerts specifically,
- Amber alerts *are* a child protection scam. But I did not elaborate on "child protection scams in general" in the article I posted. You are confusing my comments on the discussion page with the article I posted. -- Nehmo
but I'd like to at least characterize the controversy (i.e., mention that it exists). Would you say that the system's high visibility is thought, by some, to feed into the public's paranoia and hysteria about child abductions? I think I would, but I can't cite a source for that.
- I don't know. But it's a separate issue than anything I discussed. The main issue is that Amber alerts are claiming to be something they are not. A Wikipedia article that parrots what Amber alert promoters say is not an accurate article, and it ignores Wikipedia's neural point of view philosophy. -- Nehmo
What are some of the other criticisms? Some of the contributions by Nehmo that were removed when reverting the article to the relatively neutral version include the following:
- Since you at least read some of what I wrote, you must understand that I would not agree with your characterization of the previous article as "relatively neutral". Indeed, it's grossly biased. It unabashedly presented Amber alerts as benevolent, and it didn't even contain one critical item.
- Moreover, you displayed your own bias this when you choose to include (subsequently removed by Lendu ) as the only example of an Amber alert the vague "successful" example added by Zappa.jake. There were so few details in the story, I couldn't conduct a decent search on it, but I tried [1]. Let me know when you find the story. Actually, Zappa.jake, the original submitter of the example, should provide a cite. If Wikipedia allows submitters to just fabricate examples, biased ones at that, then Wikipedia is less reliable than even the usenet. At least in that case the possibility of a challenge is more likely.
- I provided links for my examples. -- Nehmo
- Pretty much everything you've said above is based on incorrect assumptions. When you started making changes to the article, it was, I agree, in a pretty sorry state. It got that way mainly due to a series of edits made on February 19 by an anonymous user at IP address 22.214.171.124 (this person was attempting to fill in some history details in order to justify removal of the sectstub, but they ended up just adding propaganda), and Zappa.jake's edit on February 21, which added the so-called 'succesful example'. (And all Lendu did was add a link to the Finnish version of the article.) Prior to 126.96.36.199's changes it was actually in pretty good shape, and did not have egregious bias problems. You are completely mistaken when you say that I reverted it to a version that said "She could possibly been rescued shortly after she was abducted. If only there had been a means of spreading her information, the nine-year-old girl could have lived." That text clearly came from 22.214.171.124's ill-advised changes made on February 19.
- Neither did I knowingly "allow speculation to stand for so long" as you ask about below. It was actually not even two weeks. And what happened was this: when I checked my watchlist on the night of Feb. 19, I saw only the very last edit by 18.104.22.168. It was very benign, and I didn't think to check to see if any more drastic edits had been made prior to that. Watchlists only show the most recent change, you know, so when someone follows up a major change with a minor one, it has the effect of "nothing to see here, move along". This is a trick some people use when they make controversial edits. Sometimes it is just an accident. Anyway, that's how it slipped by me and probably everyone else who is watching this article. Then, when I checked my watchlist on the 21st, I saw Zappa.jake's edit. I could see that his edit was rather useless and unverifiable as an example, but it wasn't demanding immediate attention, and I figured it would be dealt with by someone with a greater interest in the article anyway. The next edit was TSP's on Feb. 26, which got buried in my watchlist (which is rather long) and I never saw it. It didn't reflect any bias, though. Then you came along with a ton of changes that, in conjunction with what came before, left the article looking not just "unpolished" but also resembling an informal message board post editorializing in rebuttal to some unseen propaganda. It needed more than copyedits and would have had to be completely rewritten to bring it up to encyclopedic standards. So I reverted it to the pre-chaos version, and then posted here in order to explain the action and start some productive discussion on what this version of the article actually needs in order to be improved.
Who prompts the issuing of alerts? It was speculated that sometimes it is local police departments and sometimes it is child protection services divisions of state governments, while some erroneously think it is the Dept. of Homeland Security.
- I addressed this already, and I could expand on the topic too.
- What I meant, and I provided two explanatory links, was that some people confuse Homeland Security advisories with Amber alerts. They see the words "Amber alert" and they think it's a risk level, which are colored for distinction, and two of the colors are amberish. I don't know of any instance of someone believing Homeland Security issued a missing-kid Amber alert. -- Nehmo
- OK, I see what you are saying (The "AMBER" in AMBER Alert is sometimes mistakenly thought to indicate a risk level in a color-coded system like those used for air quality and national security alerts, whereas it is actually just the name of the type of bulletin issued by agencies participating in this system). If we are careful how we phrase it, we could say this in the article.
It was speculated that an AMBER Alert wouldn't have helped Amber Hagerman, and "Maybe it was just a feel-good the media wanted after the kid's murder". Wikipedia is not the place for such speculation, but there might be ways we can work these points into the article when discussing the intent and justification of the system when it was created.
- The previous article _speculated_ that such an Amber alert back then in Arlington would have helped Amber: "She could possibly been rescued shortly after she was abducted. If only there had been a means of spreading her information, the nine-year-old girl could have lived." Why did you allow that speculation to stand for so long if speculation is inappropriate? -- Nehmo
Criteria for issuing an alert varies widely, and the state of Maine's criteria was given as an example, along with discussion of how other jurisdictions' criteria may differ. I think this is good stuff and can be restored, but it needs some phrasing cleanup. Did you (Nehmo) author it yourself or did you pull it from somewhere? It was formatted with hard line breaks which makes me think you copy-pasted it from somewhere.
- I wrote it myself. I agree, it wasn't in polished form, but the previous version of that section was worse. Even though the section used the qualifiers "most" and "guidelines" It implied those criteria are indeed used.
- The article I changed states "… most alerts follow the following guidelines".
- 1. Since written guidelines or criteria vary widely, how can anyone say they are followed? Just what is being followed?
- 2. Nobody follows the criteria. None of the examples I posted conformed to any criteria. And if you look at the local alerts in your community, you'll see how loosely the criteria in your area are followed. Many cases are girls who left with their boyfriends, foster kids trying to escape, or parents "taking" their own children. These aren't Amber-alert-monsters abducting little kids. -- Nehmo
- OK, well, regarding point #1, the qualifiers made it pretty clear that the four criteria listed were in the ballpark, but were not supposed to be exhaustive. I don't think people reading it would come away with the wrong impression of what the criteria actually are, because it disclaimed away any pretense of the list being anything more than representative. On the second point, though, you are correct, there was no citation provided to verify that most jurisdictions follow the guidelines, and it's plausible, if not verifiable, that they don't. I think TSP's edit today tightens up the language of that section pretty well, and makes good use of scare quotes and a reference to a source. — mjb 11:40, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
More examples of successes and failures were given. I like the general idea but it could grow out of hand; we need to first write some prose about the variable measures of 'success' and the fact that failures are not publicized. Then, any examples must have sources cited.
- I never characterized anything as a success of failure, and it would be simplistic to divide cases into those categories. If, via an Amber alert, a mother gets caught for trying to keep her baby from what she believes are kidnappers, the state government, is her capture a success? In a way it is. It's a successful kidnapping. —Nehmo 16:56 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps, but the article isn't a place for such "food for thought". Any examples must be illustrating an explicitly stated point. I think if you/we can come up with a way to phrase that point as matter-of-fact rather than implying it or editorializing, then those examples might be useful. —mjb 11:40, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Inexperienced editor here, but I have to ask: why is Quebec listed separately from Canada, and Ontario as a subheading under Quebec? 220.127.116.11 (talk) 16:25, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
- Good point; I've fixed it. Thanks, Orange Suede Sofa (talk) 16:29, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
False alarms[edit]
I don't know if this has been noted, but they don't by any means stick to the stated criteria when issuing these alerts. I've seen false alarms. I know of one where none of the criteria was met. --DanielCD 14:54, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- If you can provide any source or citation for this, then it can be included in the article. Wikipedia policies don't, however, allow us to include information based purely on the personal experience of a contributor. TSP 15:43, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, gee. I didn't know that. Duh.
- My point is that mention of this might improve the article, if it's not mentioned already. I didn't say anything about personal experience. --DanielCD 16:09, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, I should have checked out whether you were an experienced editor. I agree that it would improve the article; but I don't know of any particular such instances, and I was wondering whether you had any citations which would allow us to include content on them. The only citations/references we have at the moment are to official sites, so the article is likely to only contain positive material; which is indeed a problem, but attempts to balance it by including uncited material aren't helping. TSP 16:39, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- I'll see if I can find something that can be cited. --DanielCD 18:45, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- There's got to be citable articles on this. A quick scan of Google News turns up all kinds of stories just in the last couple weeks, including some that look pretty critical. Add "false" to that query, for kicks... mjb 11:46, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
In 2005, Scripps Howard News comissioned a study of all Amber Alerts that ocurred in the United States in 2004. Only one-third of the alerts actually met the U.S. Department of Justice's criteria for issuing of alerts. I've written a short section for false alarms, citing and linking the study. Kevyn 05:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- Darn I forgot to get back on this; a lesson to me to keep better track of all the little side projects I get myself into. My thanks to Kevyn and others who helped address the issue. --DanielCD 17:40, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
When is an AMBER Alert issued?[edit]
Amber alerts are issued at the discretion of the city or county emergency manager. Traditional ways of issuing alerts are to send faxes to all media outlets (namely television and radio stations). The Emergency Alert System is the key dissemination instrument. EAS is a FCC-mandated network of radio and television stations, and has by far been the most effective way of distributing AMBER Alerts (called Child Abduction Emergencies [CAEs]). While the EAS system is mandated by the FCC, broadcasting of AMBER Alerts are not- a station is free to choose to not disseminate an alert. While most stations will broadcast an alert for public safety issues and (frankly) good press, there are stations who refuse to interrupt programming for a child abduction alert. Billboards that have marquees dedicated to local emergencies have also been extremely effective ways of distributing alerts. Difficulty arises when the child "abducted" has been taken by a divorced parent- the emergency manager must be selective in issuing AMBER Alerts because he/she does not want to desensitize the local population to serious alerts such as AMBERs. There is no universal protocol for determining when or when not to issue a CAE. —184.108.40.206 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Senior alerts[edit]
Colorado just passed legislation 'to extend Amber Alerts to missing senior citizens'.[2][3][4] It's not 100% clear from the media reports whether this is going to be a separate system or is just a change to the state's existing AMBER Alert criteria. It will apply to 'persons 60 years of age or older with a "verified impaired mental condition" and "whose disappearance poses a credible threat to the safety and health of the person."' I'm not going to try to work it into the article until I know more about it.—mjb 01:16, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
I know Talk pages are not for general discussion about an article's subject, so I apologize if this is a nuisance and I'll understand if it must be deleted, but this is the problem with the way these bureaucrats work. Whether it's Amber Alerts, tax code, higher education, transportation, or any other govt project, they can't resist tinkering with it and tacking on more and more complications. The "crying wolf" desensitization is the biggest threat to the Amber Alert system. It was meant for children. Now people are going to pay even less attention to it. Tragic romance 03:46, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
External link policy[edit]
Since many web sites and services relating to missing kids and AMBER Alert are contentious—it is argued above that they are scams, and previous links have been unceremoniously deleted—I intend to delete any non-authoritative resource links. Official sources and press articles about AMBER Alert are OK, but portals and "keeping your kids safe" sites are not. I encourage others to help enforce this, if they agree.—mjb 19:25, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with you. I've reverted that safekids site in the past. A lot of these AMBER Alert "informational" sites have obvious hidden agendas. Mrtea (talk) 01:31, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- 184.108.40.206 was back at it again tonight, removing the section on the web-based amber alert system , and changing two of the links to authoritative sites to link to scammer sites. I have reverted all changes. Kevyn 05:37, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Why did they choose an indirect naming like AMBER? Why didn't they go for something more clear like "missing child alert"? Wouldn't that be more helpful?--Sonjaaa 03:41, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- Apparently honoring Amber Hagerman's memory is more important than recognition. But then again, it's fairly widely known that an AMBER alert is. --DanielCD 16:59, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Amber Alert History - Sources?[edit]
An anonymous user, with this edit, replaced the paragraph describing who came up with the idea of the Amber Alert with an entirely different story. Can people supporting either version provide any credible an verifiable sources backing up their version? TSP 22:41, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
- That anonymous edit should not be allowed to stand, but since the book it references does exist, we can say something about how the origin of the AMBER Alert system is debated and the fact that this book exists and that his pastor claims to have had the idea first; some say… others say… etc. I hate weasel words, but sometimes there's no avoiding them.—mjb 03:13, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
It's my opinion that the pastor is mistaken, and is trying to generate book sales with his claim that he initially suggested the Amber Alert. In his story, he mentions that the Arlington Police Chief was Dee Anderson and I know for a fact that is absolutely incorrect. Dee Anderson worked for the Arlington Police Dept as a media spokesman *only* at the time of Amber's abduction. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs).
The "History" section is currently in first person and is missing some punctuation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 14:16, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
The True History and facts are Pastor Williams had nothing to do with the Amber alert and sources he quotes will tell you so! I Bruce Seybert ran the Organization from Day one and worked with Richard and Donna's Parents handling all since the Day she was abducted the Media coverage and all related showing all was posted on a Link for http://www.amberalertcreator.com But terrerfan, removed it, it also included all released articles to the press in Jan of 1996, the Amber Alert is Being trademarked right now and with the Media Proof and People involved I am trademarking this the DOJ knows the facts! the Concept of the Amber Alert came from Mark Klaas! TXBad1 aka Bruce Seybert 07:44 August 8th 2008 I Figure I will shed some Light also, Dee Anderson was the Arlington Texas Police Media spokesman at that time and the Chief was David Kunkle and the Mayor was Richard Green, Dee Anderson is a Good Friend and Now Tarrant County sheriff, David Kunkle is now the Dallas Police Chief! Both can Verifie what I say! TXBad1 aka Bruce Seybert 07:44 August 8th 2008 People Posting and editing call the Sources get your Facts straight, do not always believe what you read! the Amber Alert Name Because of abuse and Profiteers is Now Being rightfully Trademarked and will only be allowed for proven non profit use!do to this page and other misinformation with the media proof and facts I Have a Congressional waiver and an assigned Attorney from the Trademark Commission to do this!I Have provided them the proof and what I have posted on here! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Txbad1 (talk • contribs) 12:52, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
I just added a link to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, because I got some of my International Influence information from that site. I don't know for sure, but I hope that that site does not fall into the "spam" category – if it does, that was not my intent. According to the website, it is a private non-profit organization, but it does have corporate sponsors... Jaksmata 00:25, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- NCMEC is entirely appropriate for the context of this article. Kevyn 04:25, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Split off Child Rescue Alert into separate article?[edit]
I think that the section on England's "Child Rescue Alert" system probably merits being split off into its own article, since the program is so separate from the AMBER Alert system in the U.S. and Canada. A new section for "Child alert systems in other countries" with a link to the new article would probably be sufficient. Does anyone object to this? Kevyn 08:14, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
That sounds correct to me. This article is not about "Child alert systems." This is specifically about the "Amber Alert" system. I also agree that the two proposed articles be linked. Tragic romance 03:51, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
MySpace to distribute AMBER Alerts[edit]
Just announced today. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap//ap_on_hi_te/myspace_amber_alerts
Probably should go in the article somewhere.
-PK9 20:27, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Amber Alert Sound[edit]
can someone who had an audio clip of an Amber Alert from North Texas please put it up here on Wikipedia. i mean that they have the EAS sounds on the EAS page but no audio links here. can someone put an audio link up here.
- User:boutitbenza_69_9 23:34, 19 May 2007 (UTC) –
I live in Georgia, and although "Levi's Call" is one form of alert listed official GBI website, when an alert comes on television or via email or on the radio, it's called an "Amber Alert" so it's appropriate to consider deleting the reference to "Levi's Call." 220.127.116.11
"England's Child Rescue Alert system"[edit]
I have several concerns with regard to this section:
- First of all, why isn't it at Child Rescue Alert or Child Rescue Alert System (I'm not sure which is the official name) already? It would seem to be significant enough to have its own article.
- The references to "England" grate horribly. Yes, all the forces mentioned in the article are English, but there is no "English" police or justice system. This BBC News article mentions that the system was at least trialled in North Wales as well. Actually, it mentions the Isle of Man too, which isn't even part of the United Kingdom, let alone England!
- Almost as an afterthought, the final line mentions that an alert issued in 2007 was the first for a long period. The CRA system is nothing like AMBER Alert in terms of frequency of use.
- Related to the above, the CRA scheme also has nothing like the public profile of AMBER Alert. There's a current news story in this country about a missing nine-year-old girl. I have read a fair bit about this story, and have not seen one mention of the CRA, even in a general, "we ought to have that in West Yorkshire" way. Frankly, I doubt many of my British compatriots have ever even heard of CRA.

Success rate[edit]
This article describes what the AMBER Alert system is, and how it operates. The article doesn't mention so much as a single case, where somebody has been recovered safely as a result of this. Does anybody have any information on whether or not it is effective, and how effective it is that can be added? Thanks Guinness (talk) 09:46, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Amber alerts are a publicity stunt. There is no evidence they have ever been effective. They cost a lot of money, cause concern for the public - probably instilling muhc unnecessary and unhelpful fear. And as for the "as of August 2002, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reported that 17 children had been successfully recovered after an Amber alert was issued, including one case in which the abductor released the child after hearing the alert", how many children who had been abducted were killed when the abductors heard the alert? Probably a lot more than one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 01:06, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
History Section changes[edit]
Just a brief explanation of what I did to the history section.
- a) I removed POV, so that the article would more neutrally reflect the events that occured.
- b) I removed excessive detail. This article should not be relating all the details of Amber Hagerman's disappearance and the search for her. Those details belong in the article on Amber Hagerman. Only what is directly relevant to the creation of the AMBER Alert belongs in the article on the AMBER alert.
- c) The history section contained uncited quotations. That is a big no-no on Wikipedia. Quotations should be attributed to reliable sources, which could include newspaper and magazines. It does not include self-published websites.
- d) I rewrote the section so that it had a proper encyclopedic tone.
- e) I also wikified the article, so that it now has wikilinks to let people get more information about different people or concepts mentioned.
Karanacs (talk) 13:44, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
I would say that wikipedia has been called over this, if you want to see the facts there on my website and also I have Donna Norris and Mark klaas's cell phone numbers, were still working on things and , if you want to post facts post the true facts, I am the one that spoke at the media symposium and released the Amber alert, Donna was at work and Richard Hagerman was there with me! and Dee Anderson was a media spokesman for the Arlington Texas police Department at that time and at every city council meeting from the 1st one calling for the Amber Alert from Day 1 before Ambers Body was found! So if Truth and Facts posted not half facts then no editing will be needed! TXBad1 13:00 August 8, 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Txbad1 (talk • contribs) 18:01, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- Txbad1, I am sure that you have the best interests of the article in mind. However, please note that Wikipedia is not your personal website and articles are expected to abide by certain policies and guidelines. Among these are No original research (facts must be verifiable by reliable sources, not people's memories), neutral point of view (meaing we should present facts and let others draw conclusions) and the wikipedia manual of style, which helps us to determine how articles should be written and formatted. Please also note that those with conflicts of interest should be especially careful in their editing practices. This article is on the Amber Alert, NOT Amber Hagerman, and does not need the amount of detail that is here on Amber's tragic kidnapping and murder. Can you please explain to me what had been removed from the first paragraph of "your" version which upset you? Perhaps we can discuss paragraph by paragraph. Karanacs (talk) 18:08, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Many parts of this article need citation of sources, particularly the History section. If you have the sources, post them. Also, the Amber Hagerman article states "President George W. Bush signed the AMBER Alert legislation, making it a national program," (albeit unsourced) yet this is not mentioned in this article. Does anyone know the real facts?

first use of Amber alert[edit]

Levi's Call[edit]
FYI: The first place I ever heard the term "Amber Alert" was when I lived in Georgia. I've never heard "Levi's Call" before in my life. MrBook (talk) 14:08, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Amber Alert Nederland[edit]
I am wondering how much detail the Dutch AMBER Alert should be given, as long as it has not been used yet, thank god there not been any need to do so yet, it does not deserve its own article. It is primarily internet (and mobile phone) based, it's a private & police-undertaking, no legislature involved. The Missing Persons department of the (national) police is the only "user" and uses no abduction condition. ThW5 (talk) 17:10, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Well, it has been used now. 19:18, 13 April 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by ThW5 (talk • contribs)
Use of attack warning/disaster warning tones in US/Canada[edit]
The article needs to add a section, I think, discussing controversy over the fact that the Amber Alert often (if not always) utilizes the local EAS/EAN system (at least this is the case here in North America). Which means the same alert tones intended to notify viewers of nuclear attack warnings, tsunamis, tornadoes, terrorist attack, etc. are also now heard for Amber Alerts. This is extremely dangerous and in fact I know of people who now tune out the EAS tones because either they think it's a test -- or it's "just" an Amber alert. There's already mention of concerns over desensitizing viewers to the Amber Alerts, but I think something should be added regarding concerns over the potential to distract from warning that might affect a much wider range of the population. Surely someone in a reputable source has discussed this issue. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 17:14, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
Canadian spelling[edit]
All of the cited sources for Canada use "Amber Alert" instead of "AMBER Alert". I've changed the spelling in the Canada section to reflect this. Regards, Orange Suede Sofa (talk) 21:58, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
Amber Alert Sound Audio link found[edit]
a few years ago i made a comment about how the Amber Alert has it's own warning tone, well i found a link to it, in fact it's clearly a scary alert tone, but now maybe someone here can at least try to put it on the Amber alert or Emergency Alert System page.

I added a sentence about West Virginia's new Skylar's Law, which made changes to that state's Amber Alert activation criteria. Marla the Mop (talk) 18:01, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
AMBER Alert on Canada News TV[edit]
On CP24, when an AMBER Alert is issued in the GTA or in Ontario, this AMBER Alert tone plays along with a voice that says "This is an AMBER Alert!"
Here's the link to the tone as heard on CP24 when an AMBER Alert gets issued: http://www.missingkids.com/en_US/other/amberalert.wav — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 01:51, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Gaines's Mill, Battle of, June 27, 1862, a Confederate victory in the American Civil War. This battle, part of the Seven Days' Battles of the Peninsular Campaign, is sometimes called the First Battle of Cold Harbor. It was fought eight miles (13 km) northeast of Richmond, Virginia. After stubborn resistance, the outnumbered Union troops (35,000, against 57,000 Confederates) retreated toward Harrison's Landing on the James River. The Union commander was General Fitz-John Porter. The main Confederate attacks were delivered by Generals James Longstreet and A. P. Hill.

Random Blogs
It might as well be spring . . .
or maybe it is, so many love poems keep appearing in the blogs. Love poems are some of the hardest poems to write, or so claimed W. H. Auden. Here are a few classics that have inspired poets and lovers over the years:
America's New Lightning Rod
Charles Wright, America's newly appointed Poet Laureate, succeeds Natasha Tretheway, as "the nation's official lightning rod for the poetic impulse of Americans." The author of many poetry collections and the winner of The Pulitzer Prize, The National Book Award and many other honors, Wright brings a lifetime of of writing, teaching and living poetry to the role. For an introduction to his work, read an essay on his early poetry by Poetryexpress creator, Chuck Guilford.
Poetry in Motion Contest
Dakota Wixom of the Vancouver School of Arts and Academics has started a new contest called "Poetry in Motion." The idea of the contest is that people will submit poems under 100 words, and the winning submission will be turned into an animation. See one of Dakota's poetry videos.
Submissions welcome: http://www.allthingsmotion.net/contests/
Poem #10: Write a "how to" Poem
You could write a poem telling how to eat spaghetti, how to ask for a date, how to sharpen a knife, how to let go of grief, or even how to write a poem. Or you could take it to extremes: how to prevent global warming, how to kiss a snake, how to become dust.Read more ...
Revise Poems
Poetry Response Guidelines
-- the no praise/no blame method
Revision means re-seeing — looking again with fresh vision at what you've previously made. And since we're talking poetry, we might also consider "re-auditing" — re-hearing — the words.Read more ...
A Sense of Form
A poem's form is partly visual: its look on the page. George Herbert's "Easter Wings" is an example of striking visual form, as is e. e. cummings' "r-p-o-p-h-e-s-s-a-g-r." But visual form also works in less obvious ways. The lean, spare look of most Emily Dickinson poems complements her terse style, while the long, sweeping lines of Walt Whitman accentuate his bold, expansive message.Read more ...

MINUTES MINUTES DICOM WG 16 (MR Enhancements) DICOM Standards Committee June 21/22, 1999 PLACE OF MEETING: DATES AND TIMES: Necker Hospital, PARIS, France Monday, June 21st , 1999; 11:00 A.M. Tuesday, June 22nd , 1999; 09:00 A.M. MEMBERS PRESENT Matthias Drobnitzky Thomas Hlaban Robert Nawrocki Kees Verduin Wybo Palstra Mark Day Charles Parisot Luigi Pampana-Biancheri John VanMeter MEMBERS ABSENT David Clunie Roland Faber Clint Heinold Rob van de Geest OTHERS PRESENT Jet van Leent PRESIDING OFFICER Siemens AG, Medizinische Technik GE Medical Systems Picker International, Inc. Philips Medical Systems Philips Medical Systems University of California, San Francisco GE Medical Systems ESAOTE Biomedica Sensor Systems, Inc. Medical Imaging Technologies, Plymouth Siemens AG, Medizinische Technik GE Medical Systems LUMC-university, department of Radiology NNI, Nederlands Normalisatie Instituut Matthias Drobnitzky, Convenor OPENING OF THE MEETING, ROLL CALL OF DELEGATES, AGENDA Opening of the meeting The convenor, Matthias Drobnitzky, opens the fourth meeting of DICOM WG 16 (MR Enhancements) and welcomes the experts to Paris, especially the new member Mr. Pampana-Biancheri. The convenor thanks Mr. Chabriais for his efforts in arranging the meeting room and assisting the secretariat in preparing the meeting. Roll call of delegates Experts from the USA, Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands are present (see list "members present" above). Agenda The agenda is discussed and two items are added: "discussion on applications" (3a) and "raw data blob" (6a). 13 WG16 (Magnetic Resonance) DICOM Standards Committee June 21 - June 22, 1999 1. MINUTES OF THE APRIL MEETING The minutes from the April 15-16, 1999 meeting of WG16 is reviewed and after the following remarks the minutes were approved; At page 9 the last group should be named fMRI instead of SMRI At page 11 the word should be kernel and not kernal At page 11: about the last sentence it is remarked that it does not reflect in an appropriate way the discussion that was held on raw data blobs. Matthias Drobnitzky proposes the following new sentence: "members asked for a formal definition (in the DICOM sense) of the proposal, which until now was made purely from a mathematical perspective". As a result of reviewing the minutes the following remarks were made: Action-list It is decided to work with an action-list that summarises the actions from the minutes as well as the actions indicated in the working document. Jet van Leent will summarise all the actions into the actionlist and Wybo Palstra will take care of the action-indications in the working document Email burster It is remarked that the email-burster of Mark Day works fine, no problems were met until now. The only doubt was on the email address of Ronald Levin; this address will be checked by Mark Day. FTP-side The working group documents are on the private part of the ftp-side. The minutes are on the public part of the ftp-side (with the address: www.nema.org/medical/dicom/minutes): the minutes of the first and third meeting, but not of the second meeting in Delft in January. Since Matthias Drobnitzky did send in April as well as in early May an electronic version of the January minutes to the NEMA, Jet van Leent will check what happened in the following steps of the procedure of counsel review and posting. 2. MULTI FRAME OBJECT Robert Nawrocki reports on checking why the ordering of the elements in the Frame Increment Pointer (0028, 0009) was specified in the Nuclear Medicine definition for the Frame Increment Pointer as "the last tag indicating the most rapidly changing index". The presented information is attached as annex 1. SOP Class options: Do we want to support both, multi frame and single frame, or only multi frame? 1) Different SOP Classes 2) One SOP class The new standard should contain multi frame image that can be scaled to a single image. This avoids the unwanted situation of different possibilities for implementation. During the time until the new standard is there, we need to support both. It is suggested to try option 1 (two SOP Classes) and if there's no success you can always go back to option 2 (one SOP Class). Rectangular prism Need: a review of time items and the overlap between those including their meaning (definitions). Decision: raise back to working group 6 and tell them what times we need to be defined. One can afford not to do the 4th dot (Coil Element Vector and Number of Coil Elements/ Coil Element Sequence/ Coil Element Used): it's a 1% case, it's not common; most times it doesn't change. If you change coil, you change object at that time. A list can contain "baseline objects (static choice of coil)", "in between objects" and "flexible objects". Point 4 is beyond baseline, it belongs to either "in between" or to "flexible". 14 WG16 (Magnetic Resonance) DICOM Standards Committee June 21 - June 22, 1999 Coil description is needed anyway. Flexible Charles Parisot mentions that WG6 doesn't understand very well the scope of what WG16 tries to do; especially with regard to the multidimensional things. Even a little underestimation of the complexity in one of both WG's needs clarification of the misunderstanding. Furthermore, according to Charles Parisot the WG6 members had never in mind to have that amount of dimensions in a multi-frame object. The following lists are established: Baseline: 1. image position (patient) (20,32) 2. Echo number (18,86) /Echo Time (18,81) 3. Acquisition Time (whatever that means) 4. Triggering / cardiac /respiratory phase external synchronisation (waveform: fMRI) Middle tier: (multi angle and basic real time contrast changes) 1. Image Orientation (Patient) (20,37) 2. TR (18,80) 3. Flip Angle (x,x) 4. Inversion time (18,82) Flexible (first implementation) (random order) 1. number of averages (18,83) 2. phase encoding direction (18,1312) 3. number of phase encoding steps (18,89) 4. percent sampling (18,93) 5. pixel bandwith (x,x) 6. pixel spacing (2-value) (28,30) 7. Echo Train Length (18,91) 8. B Value (new) 9. Diffusion Gradient (new) 10. slice thickness (18,50) 11. receiving coil configuration 12. flow sensitisation (new) 13. flow sensitisation direction (new) 14. fat suppression 15. water suppression 16. spatial saturation (moving / on-off) 17. MTC (onn/off) Future imaging frequency (18,84) transmit coil configuration acquisition matrix dB/dt more to be defined... NOT TO BE CHANGED: any object that leads to change of framesize ACTION (everybody): softcopy presentation state: supplement 33 in ballot soon, check if this can handle multiframe The following issue needs more attention: start sending before an object is completed ? This not possible, because the frame vector must be completed. 15 WG16 (Magnetic Resonance) DICOM Standards Committee June 21 - June 22, 1999 Decisions made on the presentation in WG6: the established lists will be introduced and presented by Matthias Drobnitzky. He tries to be available at next Wednesday between 10.00 and 16.00; his availability will be confirmed Charles Parisot and/or Jet van Leent. technical information on vectors (sequence, definition, two choices in the vector) will be presented by Charles Parisot 6. (intro) SPECTROSCOPY As an introduction on the spectroscopy discussions Mark Day presents the information as attached in annex 2. Today as well as tomorrow Spectroscopy will be discussed. It is decided to put the following topic on the WG6 agenda; the module redefinition of MR/spectroscopy (new objects and supplies). It is discussed to restructure the breakdown regarding to overlapping; if attributes overlap for 90% than two slidely overlapping modules is better than two different modules. The current discussion in WG16 will be summarised by Mark Day and presented by Matthias Drobnitzky during the WG6 Paris-meeting next week. 3. APPLICATIONS DISCUSSION / DESCRIPTIVE ATTRIBUTES FOR PULSE SEQUENCES Changes in the part of the working draft document on pulse sequences are reported by Kees Verduin. Kees Verduin gives the yesterday revised working-draft-document to Thomas Hlaban. ACTION Thomas Hlaban: will expend the formal definitions on the attributes and will send the workingdraft-document to Wybo Palstra. ACTION Wybo Palstra: is going to do editorial changes and will send the document out to all experts. 4. IMAGE TYPE The input of John VanMeter on "Additional Derived Image Types" is presented: -statistical: Z-score, r-coefficient, t-statistic, etc. - perfusion: CBF (blood flow), CBV (blood volume), MTT (mean transit time), take-off time, etc. It is assumed that items, like ADC tensor and maps for diffusion, were already covered. ACTION: John VanMeter will send additional information on this to all members (names will be vendor specific). Wybo Palstra will incorporate the information into the workingdraft-document. ACTION: Matthias Drobnitzky will ask about the meaning of "secondary": it requires additional information. 5. COIL ATTRIBUTES Questions raised like "do we need all those attributes with regard to pulse sequence?" and "Are multicoil elements that are used general useful; should we leave it as a private element or try to standardise to a minimal level?". In case of standardising this item a definition is needed on the position and orientation of the coil attributes/elements. Changes in the module C.220.127.116.11.7 were made by Kees Verduin. ACTION: All members think about possible applications of the display of the position of the coil with respect to the patient. Consult with engineering how to solve this and on how to handle different semantics. 6. RAW DATA BLOB AND SPECTROSCOPY 16 WG16 (Magnetic Resonance) DICOM Standards Committee June 21 - June 22, 1999 Spectroscopy This document is a revised version of the document discussed in Washington. The question is how to use the pixel data? Would a specific module fit in the document? We'll discuss this later on. Should the module be optional or conditional? This standard could support 2 dimensions. A remark is made on the technique dependent spatial saturation geometry. ACTION Matthias Drobnitzky (D2): will inform WG6 about our discussion on additional attributes from MR Multiframe Module to support MR spectroscopy multiframe (along the same line as earlier). Description on saturation; at what point you consider something saturated? Intended thickness, how good or bad it is. ACTION Kees Verduin: writes additional information to be presented next meeting. Raw data blob At the Washington meeting Matthias Drobnitzky presented something about this topic. Now we should discuss it again; get feedback on the idea to do something on raw data blob or leave it as a private issue. For both, imaging and spectroscopy, the mechanism of raw data blob can apply. Mark Day and John VanMeter think it worth to continue on this topic. ACTION Matthias Drobnitzky: will collect information for the next meeting for the imaging part, as Mark Day did before for the spectroscopy part. 7. PRESENTATION AND ANNOTATIONS This topic will be discussed during another meeting. 8. IMAGE FUSION This topic is in the scope of WG17. 9. WG16 SCOPE Dean Bidgood could be invited to one of the next meetings; Charles Parisot and Jet van Leent could already announce this to him next week during the WG6 meeting. ACTIONS Matthias Drobnitzky: will ask WG6 supplement number for the document that we are going to make. Furthermore, each three months he will inform the DICOM committee (just for information, not for approval) about the progress and changes in scope and work-items. 10. NEW BUSINESS It is mentioned that the public comment will be given before the official stage; standing agenda item on what has to be done during the public comment stage (email discussion, the author of documents will implement the changes). It is decided to use the version number of the document in the filename as well as in the private ftp. The following time schedule for the Seville-meeting in September 1999 is suggested: September 14 (Tuesday): 8.30-18.00 for WG16. September 15 (Wednesday): 8.30-14.00 (incl. Lunch) for WG16, at 14.00 for WG16 and WG17. After the joint meeting the secretary continues with the WG17 meeting (until Thursday 18.00). Purpose of the joint meeting for WG16 and WG17: to present and discuss the scope of both working groups as well as clarifying the overlap. 11. TIME AND PLACE OF NEXT MEETINGS 17 WG16 (Magnetic Resonance) DICOM Standards Committee June 21 - June 22, 1999 The next meeting will be in Seville, Spain: at the 14th and 15th of September 1999 in Seville (place and time will be announced as soon as possible) The group follows a two-month schedule of two/three-day meetings, of which the third day is optional. Further dates are proposed as follows (based on a frequency of 5 meetings a year): 13th and 14th of December (and the 15th as an optional day) 1999 at NEMA in Washington 2nd and 3rd of March 2000 in Vienna (ECR) NOTE: after the meeting Kees Verduin suggested an extra meeting at the end of April / early May 2000 in Delft, NNI 26th and 27th of June (and the 28th of June in the morning) in San Francisco preceding the CARS (June 28-July 1) September 2000: in Europe, connected to the ESMRMB December 2000: connected to the RSNA The members are grateful to the Necker Hospital for allowing WG16 to use their meeting room and their facilities.

By means of this email I would like to thank you very much for offering us a nice room. It is a great help for the European members of DICOM when in future the DICOM activities can be alternately in the USA and Europe and not only in the USA as in earlier times. This goal will be reached sooner if the European secretariat of DICOM will get such an important assistance in arranging meetings (on a currently still restricted budget) from people like you, Joel Chabriais and Charles Parisot. If we succeed well, the budget will grow with us and will make things easier in the near future. With kind regards, Jet van Leent (European secretariat of DICOM). 20 WG16 (Magnetic Resonance) DICOM Standards Committee June 21 - June 22, 1999

I have made breadsticks before, and though they were tasty and easy to make, I have wanted to pin down a good recipe for yeasted breadsticks. I wanted to get that nice texture that you just can't seem to get with a quickbread (non-yeast) type of recipe. Many recipes for homemade breadsticks are really just elongated dinner rolls, tending towards softness. Truthfully, I like those ... Read More »
Cherry Blueberry Clafoutis
I had it in mind to make a blueberry clafoutis, but much to my chagrin, I found that the berries at the bottom of my small basket were beyond saving, much like the fresh raspberries I have had such bad luck with this year. I ended up adding some frozen black cherries to dish and the combination of fruits was delicious. The recipe is only ... Read More »
Zesty Raspberry Loaf
This is a very beautiful loaf. It has a golden top, an almost white interior and, of course, bright raspberries scattered throughout, making the contrast between white and red all the more obvious.

Red Pepper, Onion and Cheese Omelet
The trick to making an omelet is to practice. The more often you make them, the easier they'll be to do. An omelet is sort of like a large egg pancake, if you've never had one before.

Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches
I had a good time with the two-tone milkshakes that I made last week and decided to use the same effect to make these ice cream sandwiches. And by this, I mean that I made them with half vanilla filling and half chocolate.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are, hands down, the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies I have ever made and probably the best I have ever eaten.

They are fantastic – slightly crispy on the edges ... Read More »

Health Education
Good health is a critical foundation for any society. People around the world are empowering Palestinian communities to build that foundation by supporting ANERA's health education programs.
Together with people just like you, we're training health care professionals in their communities and by remote hookups to leading US medical schools. We're teaching healthy habits to children and administering programs that help parents identify symptoms and treatment options for various diseases.
We're teaching people the importance of rational use of medicine in Lebanon's Palestinian refugee camps and screening thousands of children for intestinal parasites in Gaza.
Together, we're building healthy communities through public health education initiatives like summer camps where children can play and also learn proper hygiene and healthy eating habits.

Design was submitted in december 2013 which is 1 year and half ago, trends change a lot in one year and half. I'd say HTML was approved because the niche is quite small and more variety is welcome in certain niches, but in WP things are different. Overall the design doesn't look up to the standards here, I'd say the hidden "rule" that says psd/ html approved -> wp approved works usually for files that have at most 6 months since they were added.
Check my Sura theme
Hi, you can check my Sura theme. Obviously it's not a clone or have all the features those websites have(as they were custom built) but it's a start.
Open Sans, Raleway, Roboto, Lato, Montserrat, etc. Depends on where & how you want to use them.
Also, make Envato Studio open in a new tab, please.
Since today, I'm seeing a "Start selling" link in the top menu, which is quite weird and confusing. Please remove it for the authors and keep it just for new members, existing authors are definitely not the target of that page.
johnnyborga said
I was having express wordpress installation almost everyday, and now I haven't had any order for almost 2 weeks. I am starting to believe that they are giving priority to the authors of the themes first. I really hope I am not being penalized for having one of my jobs reassigned.
When one of your orders gets re-assigned, the service is automatically removed and you will have to contact them in order to be back. And no, they are not giving priority to theme authors, as I'm a theme author myself and haven't had anything recently.
Haven't had any order in the last days either It's weird, sometimes you get 1-2-3 orders everyday for a couple of days and then boom, nothing, nada. It's like they're using groups of envato studio providers in different periods of the month.
The typography is awful, you have even the most basic problems such as alignment, spacing. Learn the most basic stuff before trying to get something approved here, as you're nowhere near even creating something usable.. even if you'd offer it for free.
The only things that look good in this template are the things that weren't created by you (icons, images), the rest is a big mess, this is hundreds of thousands of miles away from a template here.
Also, please remove the music, we're not in 2000's anymore. If you don't want to remove it, at least don't make it auto-play.
And, NEVER EVER modify the default scroll behaviour.

Awesome Tables!
Gina from Dallas, TX – Verified Buyer– Top 5 Reviewer
I recently bought this item for my daughter who is 2 1/2. I wasn't sure which one to get but after I received this in the mail I definitely picked the right one! The table is perfect. It's wooden so it's very sturdy! It's absolutely gorgeous in person, way better than what the picture displays. I have the Cars wooden table for my sons and they love it just as much as my daughter loves her princess table =]
Have a princess in your home?
Patricia from Las Vegas, NV – Verified Buyer
This is a great item for a little girl that is your princess. My friends granddaughter had a similar one years ago and played with it until she was 11 years old. I purchased this for my friend who is expecting her first granddaughter and she will save it for her. They are so excited and so am I. Love this company and love Wayfair!
Addition to the Princess collection!
Pamela from Plainfield, IN – Verified Buyer
My 2 1/2 year old great-granddaughter is all into the Princess theme in her bedroom. This was a wonderful addition. She colors on it (Princess color books, of course) and it's just her size. Arrived as promised and easy to assemble. Pros: Easy to assemble
title is required
Gabriel from Indianapolis, IN – Verified Buyer
Overall it's a good, sturdy little table. My only issue was with the legs for the chairs. They weren't all 'quite' the same length, so i had to loosen one leg a bit and overtighten another leg a bit to get one of the chairs to sit without being wobbly.
