If we were really the ethical, moral country that people claim that we were, we would have invested far more funding and resources into rebuilding the country after we destroyed it. The "success stories" that conservatives like to trot out aside, the country is sliding downhill; not only is the physical infrastructure decaying, but there is a brain drain occurring on a scale that will be difficult, if not impossible to recover from over the coming decades.
So all that being said, the pathetic mantra from the right that the military's job is to "win wars" should be completely removed from political discourse. The idea that blowing shit up is effective military policy is pathetic, not reflective of the real missions in a post-superpower nuclear era, and generally indicative of an outdated, outmoded perspective on the world.
But you're right... to withdraw completely tomorrow is not constructive, nor is staying there for the next twenty years. This is a wicked problem, and there's no clear answer here. And on top of it all, we don't have leadership at the top that seems willing to actually address the problems on the ground.
That's okay, Annie. Nobody cares what you think.
So you're against immediate or premature withdrawal? So please tell us, at what point can we withdraw?
You'll be thrilled to know that we're going to be in Iraq for many, many more years. Congratulations.
We'd still be fighting in Vietnam according to your warmongering. Why don't you ask the Vietnamese how they'd feel about that?
Don't the majority of Iraqis want us out? Hasn't their parliament voted for us to leave only to be thwarted by a procedural trick? Doesn't it matter what they want?
By the way, we "lost" this war before the first bomb fell.
Wake up Annie. Here is a report ftom our own goverment on our idiot policies.
"Learn from the fall of Rome, US warned
By Jeremy Grant in Washington
Published: August 14 2007 00:06 | Last updated: August 14 2007 00:06
The US government is on a burning platform of unsustainable policies and practices with fiscal deficits, chronic healthcare underfunding, immigration and overseas military commitments threatening a crisis if action is not taken soon, the countrys top government inspector has warned.
David Walker, comptroller general of the US, issued the unusually downbeat assessment of his countrys future in a report that lays out what he called chilling long-term simulations.
These include dramatic tax rises, slashed government services and the large-scale dumping by foreign governments of holdings of US debt.
Drawing parallels with the end of the Roman empire, Mr Walker warned there were striking similarities between Americas current situation and the factors that brought down Rome, including declining moral values and political civility at home, an over-confident and over-extended military in foreign lands and fiscal irresponsibility by the central government.
Sound familiar? Mr Walker said. In my view, its time to learn from history and take steps to ensure the American Republic is the first to stand the test of time.
Mr Walkers views carry weight because he is a non-partisan figure in charge of the Government Accountability Office, often described as the investigative arm of the US Congress."
I have nothing nice to say.
Thanks for being honest about it, either way, Annie. I get tired of the same old black-and-white political arguments, which are really convenient in terms of rhetoric but simply don't cut it (as we've seen) in terms of real policy in the real world.
Yeah, thanks Annie for posting your opinion without suggestions, a plan or any facts to back it up.
Hell, you could be the Secretary of Defense at this point.
If George Orwell was alive today, what would he say about this American liberal Doublespeak? :
"I have no idea whether Baird is sincere or not, but I was against the invasion and I still think immediate or premature withdrawal is the most idiotic idea on the table. Im completely sincere, and I dont have any conservative constituents to woo. So its possible."
I'd be surprised if Annie responded to anybody. She's shown us this know-it-all attitude before, and it was disgusting. You disgust me, Annie. Disgust.
What a worthless post. So Annie thinks that "immediate or premature withdrawal is the most idiotic idea", but Annie doesn't share her reasoning. Nor does she define what "premature" is.
If wars aren't undertaken with the intention of winning, what is the intention?
I realize that it's sort of a stylistic hallmark of the Stranger, but one really wearies of constantly being told to "shut up" because we are "stupid" and "idiotic," particularly when the writer doing this isn't really offering any new ideas or special insight. It was obnoxious before the war started and it's obnoxious now.
I get it that you are a very smart person. We all get it. Congratulations. That's no reason to be a jerk about it.
What everyone keeps forgetting is there is a Real War that we're fighting.
Unfortunately, it's against the Wahhabi fanatics from Saudi Arabia and their buddies from Pakistan and Afghanistan.
It never had anything to do with Iraq. Iraq is just a convenient way for them to commute a short distance to kill Americans, using the very dollars we send them by buying oil from them.
We're losing that war. But the Iraq sideshow - yeah, we're losing that too, and will keep doing so until we get OUT of Iraq.
Sad to say many of us with military experience were predicting this - and getting shouted at by "pro-troops" Republicants - before we even invaded Iraq.
The War has been over for years. We won. You're talking about The Occupation, and there's no winning or losing an occupation. All talk of progress is meaningless because there are no military goals to progress toward, so there's no way to determine whether withdrawal is premature or not. The only thing at stake now is the amount of our money the offshore corporations can extract from the process. They've had enough. Time to go home.
Didn't we already win the war? We captured the heads of the previous administration, defeated the standing military, and established a government operating under our auspices. If that's not winning a war, what the hell would qualify as winning? Anything we're doing in Iraq now is part of an extended, brutal, bloody police action, not a 'war'.
(That's leaving aside that Congress has never officially declared war. The Congress hasn't officially declared war since 1942. Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf -- not *legally* wars. You could make a pretty decent argument that that speaks volumes about the moral cowardice and/or hypocrisy of the post-war American state, but that's neither here nor there.)
And from a humanitarian standpoint, I think Annie's right. Pulling out of Iraq now helps us -- it stops the loss of *American* lives -- but it absolutely fucking screws the Iraqis over. Maybe that's the best we can hope for, now that we've kicked the anthill, but the inevitable vicious chaos that's going to explode in Iraq when we leave (as opposed to the fairly-vicious pseudo-chaos that's exploding there now) is going to leave millions of people dead and one of the oldest civilizations in the world an absolute wasteland.
All of which is a result of our starting this war in the first place. You could say that we never should have invaded in the first place (and it makes me sick that this was both such a transparently aggressive war and such a botched one), and that's a legitimate complaint, but to talk about pulling out like it's going to *save* lives is pretty callous.
And slamming someone for noting that fact -- albeit with fairly stiff language -- for not having a solution to an insoluble problem is good theater, but bad politics. (Leaving aside that there *is* a plan for an extended stay! The Iraqi Study Group did *not* call for an immediate departure from Iraq! Neither did it call for a troop escalation without any region building consensus -- it's *possible* to want to stay in Iraq until some sort of sustainable society is reestablished and *not* be a jingoistic nutjob.) How did this get to be a two-option debate?
Comment on Josh's post instead of starting your own pointless crap post. We have already lost in Iraq because the "decider" knows no more than you do and neither of you seems to know anything about history. Look up the American Revolution and see why the insurgents (us) won.
Annie Wagner is French for fucking idiot.
Hopefully the left will be the party that decides what to do with this mess and if we're going to any better than the right we need to not act like the right: ie anybody who disagrees is an idiot an unpatriotic.
@14 Right fucking on. Best post I've read on this subject EVER. And the Rome comparison is spot-on.
In 1996 a couple of my social studies teachers put on a seminar at my high-school on revolutions and the fall of big empires. Historians have outlined 5 things that have to happen in any empire/country before a revolution is sure to take place. At that time the US already had 4 out of 5. I can't remember what the 5 points were but I'm pretty sure we have all 5 now.
There is no such thing as "premature withdrawal" at this point (much as I love the allusion to coitus interruptus). Consider, for example, the comparison that many people are making to the American occupation of Vietnam: when the United States pulled out there was a terrible war, an invasion, and a series of bloody battles. But all that eventually ended, and now we're buying clothes from Vietnam. If we're going to talk about the so-called bloodbath that marked the end of the American occupation of Vietnam, it should be compared to the human cost of the 25 year French/American occupation that preceded it. The bloodbath was happening in any case. The difference is that the one that took place after we withdrew actually settled something.
Extremism is a reaction to oppression. Today's Vietnam is much less extremist than the Vietnam of the late '70s, '80s or early '90s. To the extent that our goal in Vietnam was a relatively moderate government that allowed us to trade in Southeast Asia, that goal was achieved by leaving them alone and letting the situation reach its own equilibrium.
History clearly suggests that the occupation of Iraq is never going to lead to a lessening of regional tensions there, and none of the opponents of withdrawal have suggested a strategy for altering the occupation that would result in such a lessening of tensions. Given that, the only question is when will the "bloodbath" begin? Given that it is, basically, inevitable then the sooner we withdrawal, the sooner it can happen, end, and we can hope to see some stability in that region.
Yes, but you see--people don't want it anymore. And Annie--can I call you Annie?--brace yourself for the worst of it all: this country still moves by the will of its people. And we are very, very fucked-up people now.
I didn't want this war, either. I really, really don't want to stay, and there is nobody who I trust and respect to can lead me to do the thing that's right and that will work.
Annie, why don't you join the Army? They could really use your help with the war. Or the not-war. Your help with not winning and not losing this war/not-war.
Whatever it is that the Army has its hands so full with, they need more people like you who support doing it. Go help them.

As Jews we can be for the war and for being against the war. I personally was against the war but I'm for the occupation. Judaism allows for this kind of dissonance because it's a sophisticated religion.
Ignorant Christian goi and their shiksa should stick to their video games. Israel needs this war for her security, and it's going to take a long time. The Christian goi should stand out of the way and allow their superiors decide what is best for America and Israel.
Ignorant Christian goi and their shiksa should stick to their video games. Israel needs this war for her security, and it's going to take a long time.
This war isn't improving Israel's security any more than it's improving the US's -- as evidenced by the growing anti-Semitism that compels people to post snarky fake-Jew messages on comment threads.
Is annie a jew? Is that why she likes the occupation of Iraq?
Annie, if immediate withdrawal is "the most idiotic idea on the table", please let us know
a) what you hope will be accomplished by leaving our troops parked in harm's way
b) what goals must be met before it's no longer idiotic to leave
c) how long you think it's worth hemmoraging American blood and money to achieve these goals
@24&25: Please don't feed the troll.
The point being she's NOT Secretary of Defense and she's allowed to feel CONFLICTED about the whole thing. Jesus. Everyone freaked out when Bush turned certainty into a moral virtue... Don't chide Annie for allowing that there are perhaps shades of grey in this whole business.
Calling those who want to get out of Iraq "idiotic" is "allowing shades of gray?" What shade of gray is that?
I believe when you call people who disagree with you idiots, you are speaking from a place of smug certainty.
By the way, soldiers call each other names like idiot and meat head and faggot all the time. It's the military way. So somebody who liked belittling the opposition would be comfortable in the Army. ...Annie? I'm just saying.
@29: Pardon, I didn't call anyone an idiot. I said an idea, a plan ("immediate or premature withdrawal") was idiotic. I also said a certain "notion" was "stupid." I'm not hurling invective at anyone, just in your general direction.
I see. Their plan is idiotic, but they are not idiots.
So if they are not idiots, what is wrong with them? Nothing? It's hard to see how you can call something they believe in idiotic without casting serious aspersions on them.
Anyway. That's fine. You've discovered that the plan to get out of Iraq sooner rather than later is a shade of, uh, gray, known as 'idiotic gray.' Cool. Have you thought about joining the Army? Staying in Iraq for the long haul means they could really use the help.
So... not to be all, "Me me me," about this, but do you actually have any responses to any of the topical points raised in the comments, or just the ones that accuse you of invective?
Topical points regarding this post would pertain to a) the relative possibility or impossibility of winning and/or losing the war, or b) the relative possibility or impossibility of holding in good faith that a continuing occupation might be better for the Iraqi population and for the United States as a world power while remaining a partisan Democrat. I do not have time to argue about whether, in fact, it IS better to continue to occupy Iraq--though the discussion is extremely interesting, complicated, and difficult--because this is press day and I'm responsible for getting my section and movie times out to the printer. Sorry to disappoint.
Annie, you powderpuff. Seriously though, are you Jewish?
She's not Jewish. She's high. On paint fumes.
I'm glad SOMEBODY at this paper is making some degree of sense.
Fine: it's impossible to win this war because the "war" has no achievable goals.
Insofar as the traditional definition of "losing" a war has involved a counterattack, often followed by an occupation, it is also astronomically unlikely that we will lose the war in the traditional sense.
For purposes of any discussion on the topic, losing the war can (and indeed must) be redefined as, "failure and or refusal to withdrawal in the absence of a successful plan for achieving the goals and objectives of the occupation."
I guess I shouldn't be surprised to hear a Leftist refer to the Cambodian Holocaust as a "so-called bloodbath"...
Or another insist that "the idea that blowing shit up is effective military policy is pathetic"
Curious how you gents intend to handle Iran. 12 more years of feckless UN resolutions? Another Oil for Food scam? Bribe them with reactors if they "promise" to stop WMD development?
We're using the military to blow stuff up now ONLY because the peace-at-any-price weasels and "soft power" diplomats failed. For 12 years.
it's impossible to win this war because the "war" has no achievable goals.
No, there are achievable goals, you simply fail to see them. We are still in Iraq because one of our goals is to sheppard in an Arab Democracy. A free prosperous Iraq will have a cascade effect into the surrounding regions of the ME, much like West Berlin did for the Warsaw Pact. Its the only long term solution to defeating radical Islam. Give the suicide bomber something to live for. Reform his civilization or he will tear down yours. We are racing against time - WMD proliferation in the hands of radical theocrats.
You'd think a party that claims to stand for things like woman's suffrage, separation of church and state, homosexual rights, civil liberties, etc would be willing to actually defend those principles. Or would you prefer Sharia Law?
Iraq will be the model arabs look too. Yes, its a huge risk that may fail, but again, its the only long term solution for fighting radcial Islam thats been put on the table. If anyone from the Left has a better idea, lets hear it.
Mr Walker warned there were striking similarities between Americas current situation and the factors that brought down Rome, including declining moral values and political civility at home, an over-confident and over-extended military in foreign lands and fiscal irresponsibility by the central government. Sound familiar? Mr Walker said
Actually it does sound familiar. He makes a valid argument, but I read something just like it back in the 1970's during the Cold War.

I may be using this phrase incorrectly, but I believe you're begging the question. Annie did not write that there was anything wrong with anyone, only that a particular plan was an extremely poor one.
It's hard to see how you can call something they believe in idiotic without casting serious aspersions on them.
It's not hard for me. I do it all the time with people who buy lottery tickets or believe in gods -- they're just indoctrinated with idiotic nonsense, and I don't fault them for it. What are you, an idiot?

Oh, I'm sorry, did you think you were addressing a political party? Wrong room, sir. No one has mentioned or implied any party affiliation in this discussion.
Fen, I'm guessing you are the type who responds to any criticism of current U.S. government policy by beginning with, "Oh yeah? Well Clinton did blah blah blah. You liberals always blah blah blah."
This isn't a patisan issue. Lay off the cable T.V. news.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised to hear a Leftist refer to the Cambodian Holocaust as a "so-called bloodbath"...
Yeah, show me where I said that, fucknut.
I'm not sure you're aware of this, but Vietnam and Cambodia are actually two different countries. I talked about the U.S. invasion of Vietnam. In the context of Vietnam, our withdrawal enabled the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia that removed the Khmer Rouge -- the party responsible for the Cambodian genocide -- from power. Insofar as it was our carpet bombing of the Ho Chi Minh trail that was partly responsible for ascendancy of Pol Pot and the KR in the first place, I'd very much like you to explain how the U.S. withdrawal caused the Cambodian genocide.
We are still in Iraq because one of our goals is to sheppard in an Arab Democracy.
I'm aware of that goal being advanced by the supporters of the war, but it's a completely unrealistic goal for the same reason that it was unrealistic in SE Asia: regions that have been the subject of extensive colonial occupation cannot be reformed by a "benevolent" nation-building occupation like the one we're trying in Iraq. It pushes too many buttons with the locals to see people who don't speak their language or respect their religion driving around in armored vehicles telling people what to do. So again: not an achievable goal.

The IU Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences offers both the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degree programs. Both programs are designed to provide students with a strong liberal arts education and a solid scientific foundation for graduate study in speech-language pathology or audiology.
The department is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
Graduates of the bachelors program may be eligible for entry-level positions as assistants to speech-language pathologists in some states. However, the masters degree is generally required for practice as a speech-language pathologist; the doctorate of audiology (AuD) is required to practice audiology. Additional licensure and certification is often required as well.
An undergraduate degree in speech and hearing sciences can lead to a range of other career choices in addition to speech-language pathology or audiology. Graduates may find positions in the field of social and human services, for example, behavior management technician, case manager, child-care worker, community outreach worker, gerontology aide, group home staff, mental health technician, occupational therapist technician, psychiatric aide, residential counselor, social service assistant, and youth worker. Other positions in the field of business include account representative, business consultant, general manager, marketing researcher, project manager, recruiter, and sales representative.
Further information on the programs offered in speech and hearing, including course information, can be found in the College Bulletin.

McCardel, 28, gave up the attempt after 11 hours in the water due to a "severe debilitating jelly fish sting," her support team said in a statement.
"Chloe is now on one of the support vessels heading to Key West. She will spend the next 24 hours recuperating before deciding on her plans going forward," the statement said.
McCardel, who plunged into a calm, crystal-clear sea early on Wednesday, had hoped to swim through the Straits of Florida in about 60 hours and reach Key West on Friday night.
She had a team of scientists in the United States to help guide her through the powerful and unpredictable current that has stymied many previous attempts, and was aware of the hazards posed by jellyfish.
Her swim was timed with the season and moon phase to minimize the presence of the venomous box jellyfish, which had plagued previous swimmers, including American Diana Nyad who was stung repeatedly in August on her fourth failed attempt at the crossing. It was not immediately clear what species of jelly fish ended McCardel's bid.
Only one person, Australian Susie Maroney in 1997, has completed the Cuba-U.S. swim, but she used a shark cage, which helps cut through the water.
Last summer, British-born Australian Penny Palfrey got tantalizingly close to the Florida Keys but could not finish when she swam into a Gulf Stream eddy that pushed her in the wrong direction.
Just before jumping into the sea from a promontory at Havana's Hemingway Marina, McCardel had been sure enough of her success to invite the commodore of the marina to a party in Key West on Friday night.
"(I'm) as confident as I can be ... I think it's all going to work out well," she said.

I stressed that right after the [seventh] game in Boston, how much I think our team needed to improve, personnel-wise and as a team."

Since joining the Cavs, the University of Alabama NBA product has averaged 18.0 points and 4.0 assists while relieving James of the burden of being the team's principle ball handler. His ability to hit clutch shots has also given LBJ more room to operate than ever before. "I finally have something complementary to myself and to this team that we needed and we haven't had since I got here: a point guard that can create for himself and create for others," James has said.

I use Gamepress for multiple sites, NONE of which have anything to do with games. I DO use the "video" and "review" post type, though.
I don't care what the post type is called, but I DO wabt it to appear as "reviews" NOT "game reviews".
Now, I know I can change the code: it's under /admin/widgets, and takes two minutes to change, but I have to do that every time a new version is released. Annoying.
I also know that I can create a child theme to get around this, but it seems like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
I can't be the only non-gamer using this excellent theme?
Can't we have these titles as part of the theme settings? ie customisable?

Useless and overused (reprise)
How are we supposed to find articles in serious need of attention if people use it try and get things improved from a "C" to a "B" (talk:TLC)? Could we get some guidelines that articles with this tag have to have some serious, and specific, problems? Kappa 00:36, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- While I do support more vigorous guidelines on when to use the template, I fail to see how overuse makes it useless. If you come across an article that isn't that bad, it only takes a couple minutes to skim through it, look over the talk page, and move on. That's a lot better to me than not having the template at all. Let's not indulge in hyperbole.
- -- Hinotori(talk)|(ctrb) 01:36, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- The more it's over-used, the more I have to waste my time skimming articles that don't need cleanup, instead of cleaning up articles that do need it. If I can't quickly find something that needs actual cleanup, its useless and I'll do something else. Kappa 19:20, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- "Overused", "misused", and "useless" are all different terms. I think this is "misuse" more than "overuse". --AySz88^-^ 19:31, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- I'm unsure how semantics really help in this at all, but for what it's worth, I think it's "overuse." Almost any article on Wikipedia could be cleaned up a little more and, without solid guidelines on when to use the template, an article "needing" to be cleaned up is firmly in the realm of subjectivity. At the moment, people tend to be loosely interpretting when the template is needed, which leads to people like Kappa wasting their apparently precious time and threatening to take their ball and go home, so obviously some guidelines would be useful.
- -- Hinotori(talk)|(ctrb) 03:15, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- The problem is more fundamental. Unlike the rest of Wikipedia, this template focuses on what contributors should do in the future, rather than describing the current state of an article or effort. This is the crux of my criticism and the reason why this template will never solve more problems than it causes. --Bk0 (Talk) 03:43, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- "Overused", "misused", and "useless" are all different terms. I think this is "misuse" more than "overuse". --AySz88^-^ 19:31, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- I don't see how giving contributors a heads up for what needs to be done on an article makes this more of a problem than an aid. Judging from your previous posts on this page, it seems like the real crux of your criticism is that you're assuming that editors be bold which is a great policy, but isn't the case for all editors (or even the majority of them), and never will be. People have real lives to attend to and being able to differentiate between articles that are badly in need of cleaning and articles that are mediocre but passable is an asset. Granted, when that line is blurry, the effectiveness of the template is decreased, and that's why I support clear guidelines. I disagree that this template in any way discordant with the nature of the rest of Wikipedia, at least, no more so than the expansion template, or any of the other template messages for that matter. Templates alert users as to what needs to be changed, and change is a future process, whether it be five seconds from when the template is put up or five months. It may seem distressing that many articles have these templates slapped on them for very long periods of time, but that's the nature of the beast; Wikipedia is huge, and many articles just won't be gotten to in a short amount of time. I think if this template didn't exist, you'd see such articles sit in their former format for even longer, or even forever.

- Your feeling that editors' time is not valuable is obviously part of the problem. You want to leave this tag on articles indefintely, attracting any number of nonspecialist editors who will waste a few minutes skimming and walking away, just hoping that eventually someone with specialist knowledge will find it. Kappa 05:55, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- First off, I'd appreciate it if you didn't presume to know what I "feel" or "want," especially when we both know no one feels or wants any of those things. I feel that editors' time is VERY valuable; why else would I be in favor of clearer guidelines? I don't want to leave this tag on articles "indefinitely." I want to be able to tag the article at all. Articles that aren't tagged have a much higher chance of remaining in their current state indefinitely than those that are. As for "specialists," I don't think that has much to do with this issue at all. This is a request for cleanup, NOT a request for expansion. In my mind, "cleanup" means fixing prose, grammar, and spelling as well as wikification and organization. That doesn't require any "specialist" knowledge other than a competency with the English language and an understanding of style.
- -- Hinotori(talk)|(ctrb) 06:14, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- OK we can agree that this template needs stricter guidelines. If it gets them, it won't matter if it's useful or not without them. Kappa 06:40, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, we have agreed on that since the beginning. However, if the template does not receive stricter guidelines, I still would support it as being useful, hence our difference (at least, initially). If I can make some time later, I might try my hand at drafting a sample set of guidelines that users can refer to.
- -- Hinotori(talk)|(ctrb) 16:24, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure what it is that people want to change, exactly. We can't wave a magic wand and change ten thousand editors' ideas about what "cleanup" means, but we could change the wording of the template and hope people read it. We could also draw a distinction between major and minor problems to help editors more easily find the types of problems they enjoy solving. Do we need a "cleanup-minor" tag? "cleanup-major"? I have futher strengthened the wording; it now actively recommends leaving a note on the talk page. Perhaps this will help cleanup editors zero in on problems quickly.
I would certainly recommend removing cleanup tags from articles where you do not see a problem, and leaving a note on the talk page asking for clarification if it is going to be re-added. Either the article will not be re-tagged and editors move on to other articles, or we will get more specific guidance and hopefully move things forward. -- Beland 07:13, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- I added a mention about more-specific tags. --AySz88^-^ 15:33, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- As per my comment above, I think if someone drafted a set of guidelines to be placed at the top of the talk page and we voted on it, that would be somewhat effective. At least there would be something consistent for users to refer to.

- I have a connection to 20Q and have spent time updating, correcting and cleaning up the article about 20Q on Wikipedia. I check back regularly, and have been advised to create a username, which I've done. Now that I've cleaned up the article, how can I arrange to have the clean up tag at the top removed. Believe me, my corrections are authentic. I've been married to the inventor since before he invented 20Q, and am now the owner of 20Q.net Inc., and I regularly visit Wikipedia to make sure the information is accurate. Please inform me if there is a process I can undertake to have the clean up tag removed. Thank you. my email address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Considering that the template is so well-known as to have [www.cafepress.com/wikipedia/530286 a Wikimedia shirt], it might be preferable to reword the first line and retain something close to the original wording, as long as it doesn't lose meaning. Maybe something like "This article or section needs to be cleaned up to conform to Wikipedia's standards of quality." --AySz88^-^ 06:45, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- I was bold and changed it. Feel free to revert and discuss. --AySz88^-^ 19:28, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- That's a remarkably weak argument for discarding the changes discussed here. I feel that emphasis on quality standards is important for this template and the wording should reflect that. They should change the shirt, or perhaps not create a shirt which can be so easily made obsolete. --Bk0 (Talk) 23:52, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- Huh? I don't think I discarded the changes? I thought the significant change was changing "higher standard" to "Wikipedia's standards of quality". The shirt was just an example of how well-known the previous wording was. What is the difference between "This article or section needs to be cleaned up to conform to Wikipedia's standards of quality." and "To meet Wikipedia's quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup."? --AySz88^-^ 00:18, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- I actually prefer the AySz88-version, as it reads better, and don't think the template needs to highlight quality control. The AySz88-version makes it clear that cleanup is requested, without condemning the content of the article. -- Ec5618 00:49, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Keeping templates synchronized
I don't know much about writing MediaWiki templates, so forgive me if this is an ignorant question, but is there a way to modify the family of cleanup templates (cleanup, cleanup-date, cleanup-section, etc) so that they share the core wording/formatting? Modifications to this template, for instance, will propagate to all the others in the family. This would make maintainance easier. --Bk0 (Talk) 23:56, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- This isn't a MediaWiki template, I think. But anyway, it is possible to use templates within templates ("meta-templates"), but they supposedly are supposed to be avoided. --AySz88^-^ 03:32, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Attention merger
It is proposed that {{attention}} be merged with this template. Please see Category talk:Pages needing attention for rationale and discussion. "cleanup" will remain for remedial work only; suggested improvements to intact articles should be tagged {{expansion}} or {{expert}} if necessary. But all articles tagged for cleanup will hopefully soon be sorted by topic. (See Wikipedia:Cleanup process/Cleanup sorting proposal; volunteers wanted.) -- Beland 04:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Rewrite as a WikiTable
I've re-coded the template using wiki table format. I used Help:Table and its links as a reference guide. Cwolfsheep 00:31, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
I tried recoding it with the right color. Still gets rejected. Cwolfsheep 18:53, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Actually the darker indigo color makes the text more difficult to read, the narrowness of the box causes the text to take up four lines and waste space to the left and right, and the gray margin is completely unnecessary. --CharlotteWebb 18:57, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- Any way to make it look better using Wikitable? Cwolfsheep 20:31, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Anyone have an opinion on whether this template should be subst'ed? It makes sense to me because it makes it more obvious if the template gets removed before time, but opinions would be nice! EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 20:19, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- No. If somebody subst the wrong version it could take a while to fix. --CharlotteWebb 15:36, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- huh? "removed before time"? Is this template going to be removed? I'm still a little confused by this where it says "please use cleanup-date instead", and wondering why "cleanup-date" wasn't made in this very same template just adding an optional parameter instead. Anyway, I think that advice already used about using "{subst:Cleanup-now}", should be the first thing on the description, if that's what you meant. --Caue (T | C) 13:07, Tuesday 2006-10-31 (UTC)
- That advice might just confuse people. If everybody just used {{cleanup}} with no date it would be no loss, since there are bots that quickly change it to {{cleanup-date}}, usually before the month changes... unless it's like the last day of the month (like today is) which would still be no big deal. — CharlotteWebb 18:15, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- hehe, I think I was already so confused that I said something that looked like an advice. I was talking about changing the disposition of the advices that are already there. One way or the other, your point is stated. Things around here does confuse people, just as myself! :P --Caue (T | C) 20:14, Tuesday 2006-10-31 (UTC)

Used without talk!
I find it very annoying when I come accross this template and it says "further details are available on the talk page". In fact every time I've seen this there has been no mention on the talk page. We either need to make sure all using this tag put something on the talk page or at least remove that phrase! Flutefluteflute 12:05, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- It is now possible for the display of certain parts of the template to depend on whether the corresponding talk page exists yet, if that would help. On the other hand, due to the wide variety of specific {{cleanup-issue}} templates, actual clarification on the talk page is usually only needed in complex cases. — CharlotteWebb 18:18, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Template is broken
See the category tag at the start of Periodic table (standard).

Editorial templates should be placed on talk pages
I think editorial templates like this belong on the talk page of an article not on the article page. After all "A Wikipedia article is a page that has encyclopedic information on it" and the "standard talk pages are used to discuss an article" (see [[Wikipedia:What is an article?]] and Wikipedia:talk page)
If a person was to write on the an article page "This page is rubbish it should re-written" the edit that created it would probably be reversed with a comment of "rvv". But for some reason some people think that by putting such comments into grammatically correct sentences and then wrapping them up in coloured boxs justifies putting them on to the article page. Templates that warn a reader of an article that the information is not accurate like {{unreferenced}} are in my opinion useful encyclopedic information for the reader of an article and should be placed in the appropriate section(s) on the article page, but all templates like this one, which are there just to inform an editor of blemishes in the page, should only appear on the talk page because they add nothing to the encyclopedic information on the article page and are essentially the type of information that the talk pages are there to discuss.--Philip Baird Shearer 12:39, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- I agree in essence, but would phrase it a little differently: Only templates warning that an article may be misleading (self-contradiction, non-neutrality, spam, etc.) should be allowed on the article page itself. All others should be restricted to the talk page. And in my opinion, even templates warning of inadequate documentation (unreferenced, original research, etc.) should not be considered eligible for the "misleading" category unless the claims in question are actually controversial.
- Also, the generic cleanup tag, in particular, is so vague that it adds nothing even to the talk page, and should never be used. And although discussions of the cleanup tag place a great deal of importance on the possibility of giving specific reasons for its placement, I don't recall ever having seen it used that way; nearly all uses in practice seem to be of the generic tag. It would be better to avoid its use altogether, in favor of just describing any problems in plain prose on the talk page.

After she saw that he was not following she started crying even harder.
Another block after this he ran up and grabbed her arm very aggressively. I continued on.

Run by ~Vermontster This candid moment captured from the street looks as a frame from a movie. Mood, atmosphere, character and angle give to the image a great visual impact. ( Suggested by PatrickMonnier and Featured by myraincheck )
awesome shot
I'm thinking about framing it, that's how good it is
oh!!! I never told you that is beautiful! Forgive me!
and congratulations in delay
and congratulations in delay
It is rare to capture such raw emotion in a photo and have all of the other elements (focus, frame, atmosphere) work as well! Fantastic work!
Wow, very dramatic shot. Well captured. Fabulous framing, as well.
this photo is great
Great work and congrats Mark!
Hurray! Big Congrats my friend!
Bravo, bis !
well done mate, congrats!
Thanks Noah! When you come to NYC we will go find her.
Certainly has the look of one of Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Stills
Congratulations Mark on your well deserved DD!
Your shot has been among my favorites for a while now.
Congrats on the DD!
Have a nice day!

Congrats on your well deserved DD, Mark!
Really beautiful work! Very interesting composition! I love it!
Woot Mark! Congratulations on the DD!! Very well deserved!!!
Mate, this is well spotted .. priceless expression in her face I guess she is not your MRS!
Thanks Noah! Not the Mrs., afraid that would be cradle robbing. She was very attractive, but a bit rough around the edges. She was crying quite hard when I shot this, and she had just had a fight with a very rough looking guy. I just happened to walking along the same section of street as this all unfolded. Eventually he tracked her down and grabbed her very aggressively. It was rather sad, and I had seen enough. Here is another from a bit earlier. fav.me/d6b2mvf
.. a bit rough around the edges?
great thing about this photograph is that if someone doesn't read the story below it, they can see different kind of expressions such as she's just having some tan on a sunny day in combination with some eccentric kind of meditation or praying et cetera
very well done, i love it!
Instant classic!
great image
Man! you nailed it. What a wonderful capture! Hats off to you my friend.

In light of a growing interest in contemplative practices such as meditation, the emerging field of contemplative science has been challenged to describe and objectively measure how these practices affect health and well-being. While "mindfulness" itself has been proposed as a measurable outcome of contemplative practices, this concept encompasses multiple components, some of which, as we review here, may be better characterized as equanimity. Equanimity can be defined as an even-minded mental state or dispositional tendency toward all experiences or objects, regardless of their origin or their affective valence (pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral). In this article, we propose that equanimity be used as an outcome measure in contemplative research. We first define and discuss the inter-relationship between mindfulness and equanimity from the perspectives of both classical Buddhism and modern psychology and present existing meditation techniques for cultivating equanimity. We then review psychological, physiological, and neuroimaging methods that have been used to assess equanimity either directly or indirectly. In conclusion, we propose that equanimity captures potentially the most important psychological element in the improvement of well-being, and therefore should be a focus in future research studies.

The Nebraska City School Board voted Monday night to sell District 17 (McCartney School) as part of of overall plan to sell the district's excess and unused property.
Board member Bret Allgood, who serves on the Buildings and Grounds committee, informed the board that the district holds the legal deed to the school. "We are within our legal rights to make this move," Allgood said. The school is located at 5797 H Road west of Nebraska City.
An auction to sell off other excess property owned by the district, including tables, desks and several vehicles, is set for Saturday, July 25 in the High School parking lot.

'No Bed-Wetting'
David Plouffe's call to arms.
Even as President Obama makes a show of political modesty after losing Massachusetts, Congressional leaders are trying to rekindle the cinders left among the health-care ashes. Plan B still seems to be to dragoon enough panicking House Democrats into passing the Senate's Christmas Eve bill, and to that end the White House reactivated campaign manager David Plouffe over the weekend.
"No bed-wetting," Mr. Plouffe declared in a Washington Post op-ed. As a call to arms this leaves something to be desired, though it does suggest the political unreality that still prevails among Democratic leaders.
A new poll released yesterday by the Pew Research Center on the public's priorities reveals the real reasons ObamaCare is in intensive care. Jobs and rehabilitating the economy understandably top the list, with 81% and 83% of voters rating these as a "top priority." Reducing health-care costs (57%) fell from 69% in 2008, and is now behind terrorism (80%), education (65%), deficit reduction (60%) and even Medicare (63%) and Social Security (66%).
Our guess is that this decline is because Democrats have tipped their hand in the last year about how they plan to reduce those costs via ObamaCare—namely through central planning and price controls that would limit access to care. Meanwhile, health insurance reform clocked in at 49%, which at least makes it far more popular than the Administration's cap-and-tax global-warming agenda. A mere 28% ranked climate change as a political priority.
This collapsing public support is what's eroding ObamaCare's chances in Congress. Scott Brown's election in Massachusetts is looking like an excuse for many Democrats to do what they have probably wanted to do for months anyway. The toxic political environment became even clearer yesterday with Beau Biden's announcement that he will not run for his dad's old Delaware Senate seat this year (despite reports to the contrary from the Vice President's office on Sunday). Arkansas Democrat Marion Berry also announced that he'll retire this year after seven terms, telling local media that the current health-care debate looks a lot like 1994 to him.
Wednesday's State of the Union may reveal whether the White House is going to stick with its so-crazy-it-just-might-work strategy to save ObamaCare. It would be wiser to pack it in and start over.

Integration applications
Let's now use our significant arsenal of integration techniques to tackles a wide variety of problems that can be solved through integration!
By integrating the difference of two functions, you can find the area between them.
We don't need calculus to figure out the average value of a linear function over an interval, but what about non-linear functions? Luckily, integral calculus comes to the rescue here. In this tutorial, we'll understand what "average value" of a function over an interval means. We'll also connect that notion to the Mean Value Theorem we first learned in differential calculus.
We'll now use integration to find the arc length of a curve. As we'll see, it is based on the same idea of summing up an infinite number of infinitely small line segments.
We will now leverage the definite integral to find volumes of figures where we know what the cross sections look like. It is surprisingly fun.
You know how to use definite integrals to find areas under curves. We now take that idea for "spin" by thinking about the volumes of things created when you rotate functions around various lines.
You want to rotate a function around a vertical line, but do all your integrating in terms of x and f(x), then the shell method is your new friend. It is similarly fantastic when you want to rotate around a horizontal line but integrate in terms of y.
There's no reason to limit ourselves to cartesian coordinates. When a curve is defined with polar coordinates, and we want to find the area between the curve and the origin, so to speak, we use the method taught in this tutorial.
You may already be familiar with finding arc length of graphs that are defined in terms of rectangular coordinates. We'll now extend our knowledge of arc length to include polar graphs.

How to minify JS and CSS on the fly / runtime, so that I can keep the original code structure in my servers if its minified on the runtime / fly.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.

There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I think your question should actually be: How can I reliably and repeatably update my live servers? What you need is an automatic deployment script. Personally I prefer Fabric, but there are other tools are available.
An automatic deployment script will allow you to run a single command which will go to live servers and update the source code, run any deployment steps (such as minifying javascript) and restart the webserver.
You really don't want to be minifying javascript or css files on the fly, you should do that once at deployment and then have a variable in your code that specifies whether this is a live deployment or not. If the variable is true then your links to the files should be links to the minimized version, if it's false then they should be to the normal versions.
There are a number of programs which perform minimization, one that hasn't been mentioned yet is JSMin.
After a lot of searching and sites optimizations i really recommend to use this script for CCS files:
It compress all css files into one and past it into html, reducing the number of additional requests to zero. You can also make your own compressed.css file if you prefer this than pasting styles into html.
HTML5 Boilerplate comes with a handy build script that compresses JS, CSS, images and much more. Check it out!
As explained in the other answers, "real" on-the-fly minification (dynamically compress a file every time it's requested) wouldn't be a very good idea.
If I may speak so freely;
Minifying a JS/CSS file would have as goal that it parses more quickly ( and also use up less disk space). By minifying it at runtime, that benefit would be completely lost.
Perhaps I am mistaken in your final goal, but this is what comes to my mind at first.
Edit: post by @Ant clarified it for me.
Assetic is a nice project that helps in organizing resources such as CSS and Javascript including minification. See here for an introduction.
Generally runtime minification should always be combined with solid caching on the server side and the usage of client and proxy caches along the way to the browser.
If your goal is to make your JavaScript slightly less readable, and do this at runtime, you could keep it very, very, simple. With just three lines of code you can get a long way toward total minification within a few milliseconds.
This does not do any syntax checking whatsoever. Code can become invalid after using this. Check the end of the lines in your JS, is a ';' missing somewhere?
You need to
$ java -jar yuicompressor-x.y.z.jar
Thats is exactly what WebUtilities (for J2EE) does. Here is the link.
It does the minification and merging on the fly. It also has caching to avoid reruning the minification or reprocessing of a resource if resource not modified. It also helps with following optimizations.
Please have a look in case you find it interesting.
If you have full control of your Apache / Ngnix configuration, a great option (in general) would be to enable the PageSpeed module, in your case with
I am doubtful that this minification craze really makes that big of a difference if the JS is sent with zlib compression.
First, white space compresses extremely well, so the reduced filesize that results from minification is probably only a major issue with large libraries such as jQuery (which probably should be served from a CDN unless you need a hacked version).
Seconfly, JS is usually cached by the client so unless you use a lot of different scripts on different pages, most page loads it is not going to make a difference.
The problems with minification and why I do not do it (except with things like jQuery): A) It strips out comments, so unless you re-add them, things like copyright notices are lost. This could result in a license violation, since even many OSS licenses require the copyright be intact.
B) When there is a problem, it is nice to see the actual code the server is serving just in case it happens to be different than your working copy. Minified code does not do well in that respect.
My personal opinion - zlib compress on the fly, yes. minify - only for really large files.
Performance parsing the JS into the interpreter - maybe if the browser is running on an Apple Performa with 32MB of RAM. I do not buy that it makes a real world difference with most scripts. Pages that are slow are usually slow because of too much inefficient code running at same time or are making too many requests to overloaded servers. (IE do you really need to check availability of username as I type each letter? Can't you check when I change to a different field or when I click submit ??? ;)
