Interupting - but that fact that I advised Ottava through diffs that he needs to back off - whilst openly admitting I have no time for you either WMC would seem to put me at the very centre of neutral. Also as I am an admin closing a thread on ANI that was not related to my actions and was not in need of admin input is perfectly fine. Next ? Chat " | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Deletion discussion about Whatever, Linda ==
Hello, Bearcat,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Whatever, Linda should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whatever, Linda .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks,

I'll edit and add something to this, too, in a few hours after Eloquence has had a turn. There are many different views on this, which should be properly ventilated - 04:49, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
"==Slogan==
The slogan is ""That's why mums go to Iceland"" - I just saw an ad on TV. But who is the celebrity? Is it a pop singer?
Its former pop star Kerry Katona
Maybe that's the slogan they use now, but there is no doubt the slogan they used back in the day was ""That's why Mum's gone to Iceland"".
Still is - I went to an Iceland this morning and this slogan is still plastered everywhere (April 2007)
Copyright issues
A lot of this article is directly copied from the Iceland website:
http://www.iceland.co.uk/ice/instore.nsf/(websearch)/theicelandstory
as indicated by the fact that there are still asterisks inserted which do not relate to anything within the article, but rather to notes on the original page. Is it possible that Iceland have approved this copy?
Almost certainly not. If it was, there'd be some WP:OTRS tag on this page or something else saying that it was legit. As it is I've removed it for its blatancy.
Name change
It's my understanding that the overall name ""Iceland.co.uk"" was dropped as a result of the dotcom bubble bursting - the suggestion being that associating a company so totally with t'internet around 2001-2 was stock market poison.
Fair use rationale for Image:Iceland Shop Logo.gif
:Image:Iceland Shop Logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
Iceland International Stores
I started out on this search knowing, without question, that there was an Iceland supermarket on the road between Mijas costa and Mijas pueblo in the Costa del sol in Spain. While merely ""knowing"" isn't good enough, it does permit of a longer search and of asking the company about non-UK/Ireland stores. This is what I was sent by email upon asking the company directly through its website:
I can confirm that Iceland do have a number of franchises overseas. However, we do not hold this information for these stores here. Please feel free therefore to visit www.overseas.es for further information.
I have fixed the internet address from the preceding paragraph to . Click the ""Store Locater"" tab and, eventually 4 stores in Spain (notwithstanding the text disclaimer at the top of the page referring only to stores in Tenerife) will appear on a map of Spain.
Refs
Both references are identical. Surely only one is needed?
Ballyfermot store
Is there anyone here who knows the story with the Iceland store in Ballyfermot, Dublin? I know it reopened in November '08, but this article said that it closed in April '09, something which has been removed. Can someone please verify what should be put on this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

New Title for this article?
Help please. This scholar always refers to himself as Johannes Bronkhorst. But this name is already taken by a Dutch painter, so we need a disambiguation page. Unfortunately this is beyind my skill in Wikipedia at the present time. Could somebody help? Due to the fact that his name is not given in full, people cannot find the page, for example see:

As posting in other users' name in order to defame them is a severe violation of wikipedia policy the IP should be blocked indefinitely.

Furthermore, as I have done nothing wrong and no evidence of any wrongdoing has been presented, I protest my block. A cynic remark about someone who abused his admin powers in no way justifies a one week block. The user blocked in spite of a conflict of interest and in spite of the fact that I had not violated the rule as he claimed.

From User talk:Jimbo Wales I wonder if you might consider...
I wonder if you might consider simply removing your political/religious/etc. userboxes and asking others to do the same. This seems to me to be the best way to quickly and easily end the userbox wars.
Userboxes of a political or, more broadly, polemical, nature are bad for the project. They are attractive to the wrong kinds of people, and they give visitors the wrong idea of what it means to be a Wikipedian.
I think rather than us having to go through a mass deletion (which is what is likely to happen if the userbox fad doesn't go away), it will be better to simply change the culture, one person at a time. Will you help me?
From WikiEN-l [...]
The current situation with these things being in the main Template namespace, and promoted as if healthy and normal in the Wikipedia namespace, is that they are damaging to our culture. They are attracting the wrong sort of people, and giving newcomers the wrong idea of what it means to be a Wikipedian.
That's why they need to go. Not to censor people's self-expression, but to make it clear that as a whole the community considers these things to be divisive and inappropriate. Jimmy Wales (jwales at wikia.com)

A lot of people fought for Israeli independence the fact that this person passed on intelligence doesn't indicate that he's any more widely regarded as notable than any others.

I can see it both ways. On the one hand, we can find 2 substantial RSs for every substantial building, if we really check all possible newspaper sources, including trade papers. Sooner or later, they'll all be in GoogleNews/googlebooks; at the very least , for every building erected or planned before 1920. If we're going to hold to the GNG, we have several choices A. use an increasingly stringent definition of what we consider RSs for WLOCAL such as requiring regional sources, but that wont have any effect in large cities B. Make a special provision about LOCAL requiring more than RSs, such as RSs showing notability in particular ways C. Abandon or supplement GNG in favor of distinct criteria that would exclude such articles, such as hotel rating level. D. Use combination articles E. Accept the articles, but require substantial content F. Simply accept the articles . G Use a WikipediaTwo or WikipediaLocal project as a supplement to Wikipedia.
The GNG was originally adopted as a restrictive measure. This is no longer the case. The increase in easily available reliable web information has killed it's usefulness this way. It is now a rule that will increasingly work the other way around. Many deletionists try to elevate it into what they consider a basic policy on principles that are not specifically exclusionary, but rely on confusion of WP:N with WP:V ; many deletionists and others think that in principle it is the only logically defensible way of having a guideline I wonder whether they will stick with it when it yields the opposite result to what they really want, or yield a result that contradicts their own intuition?
What I really want in G, above, a supplement that will maintain WP:V and WP:NPOV and other foundation principles, but not have a WP:N barrier. The inclusionists will be able to get in essentially everything, the deletionists will be able to remove a good bit of borderline content from the present Wikipedia. (and, btw, I do not consider Wikia an equivalent, for even if we had one that did not fail WP:V and WP:NPO, I remain committed to a free encyclopedia, free in particular from advertising either in the articles or surrounding them.
But we have to deal with the present structure and the present question . Whatever may have been said elsewhere which I am deliberately not looking atwhat Himalayan says above makes sense to me: it is a combination of my choices C and E aboverely on ratings level, and work for better content. Covent Garden Hotel is at present a very low quality articlethe AfD seems based on the possibility of there being a better article. The present one does, in my opinion, violate NOT TRAVEL and NOT PROMOTIONAL. I would have had to support keeping it however, because that is fixable. I would have said weak keep, as Peterkingiron did for the same reason. '''''' ( talk ) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Well, Tiamut, you replaced the existing source with this, it is reasonable that it be tested. As for Arafat, I imagined you were trying to write a comprehensive and neutral article, with all facts of interest to the reader. And bunking with Arafat is at least as interesting as the chain smoking bit. Regarding the book:
1. The organization he belongs to published it with a publisher that is, at the least, affiliated with it.
2. SELFPUB applies to organizations as well as individuals.
3. It is the sole source for this quote. Note the part in WP:SELFPUB where it talks about if a fact is truly significant, it would be included in another, more reliable source.
4. Corrie is only peripherally the subject of the book, and many of the statements in there are opinionated and unsourced. In fact, we don't even know what the source, footnote 26 is, it doesn't seem to be included in the Google Books version. Do you have a hard copy?
5. The quotation is at variance with the language quoted in the HRW report. While HRW is not a RS either, it is a bit odd that there is this variance. Do we even know what language the autopsy was in? They might be saying the same thing. After all, rocks falling on you is mechanical pressure.
We need to find a better source. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Armenian Genocide
Peres' denial of the genocide should be noted in this article, failing to do so makes it more of a hagiography than a biography. His shortcomings must also be mentioned in addition to his feats like winning the noble prize. Do you think it'd fit better in political views? In anycase it must, and will, be mentioned somewhere. How about adding this in his political views segment:
Peres' foreign policy outlook is markedly realist. For example, to placate Turkey, the only significant Muslim country in the region that is friendly towards Israel, Peres has explicity denied the Armenian genocide, which caused an uproar among genocide scholars.(citation)
Peres made these statements in 2001, when he was foreign minister. Clearly, he was caving in to Turkish pressure. Israel has very few friends and cannot afford to lose them, so basically it is not free to take the position that would seem to mesh with its outlook and history, which is to recognize that the Armenians were murdered en mass. Now he is president, an honorary position, not a political one, and his ""views,"" whatever they may have been back then, are worth about as much as mine are. I have no problem with mentioning this ""view"" in the section on his political outlook, but a separate section on this one utterance gives it undue importance and distorts the picture.
sumac opening sentence
I don't know what the right wording is, but do you see the problem with ""Sumac (also Rhus) is a genus of approximately 250 species of flowering plants in the family Anacardiaceae""? First of all, there is no reason to italicize Sumac. Secondly, it is not accurate to say ""Sumac is a genus"" because there is no genus called Sumac (but there is one called Rhus).

Anons concerns cont'd
On the grav-locked, red dwarf planet:
Note that a planet gravitationally locked to its star will have tidal heating like Io, so it's not as if everything will freeze on the night side. The great advantage of a grav-locked planet is its stability. I think it's fair to say that stability is easier for life to deal with than instability. If you look at the stability of Jupiter's great red spot (400 years and posited to be permanent), weather on a grav-locked planet should be relatively stable, I presume a convection rising at the ""sun pole"" and falling at the ""dark pole"", with terrain eddies, of course. Such a planet will have no axial tilt, no day/night cycleI don't even think it can have an eccentric orbit, but I'm unsure. This greatly reduces the complexity of an organism's job: for example a plant doesn't need the night ""mode"" earth plants need; they would not have to drop leaves for winter. These seem like advantages to me.
Based on the best information I can find on the US Dept. of Energy site (solar information), what plants get on a clear equinox day is about 8 kWH/m^2, peaking at 1 kW/m^2. The vast majority of that power comes in the middle 8 hours, less than 1 kWH/m^2 is in morning and evening. The night is essentially 0 kWH/m^2not absolutely, no, but to the 2 digit accuracy I was using, yes. (Compare visual magnitudes of sun vs. moon.) This varies by latitude and season, of course. Now let's plug this into the supposedly horrible 60-200% variation of a red dwarf. Instead of roughly 1/3 time at 1 kW (yes, it really is close to that), equivalent energy would be all the time at 1/3 kW. Thus, the variation would be 1/5 kW during minimums (=60% of 1/3 kW) and, of course, 200% is 2/3 kW. Thus, ignoring frequency, the red dwarf plant has an easier time. The lower power of red dwarfs just pull the HZ in. Considering Earth shade plants, which live on far less than 1 kW/m^2, the HZ is where the total solar and gravitational energy are right for water.
Organizationally, perhaps the best thing would be to treat Earth-like planets in the main flow of the article: then discuss tidally-locked red dwarf planets, with a note that thinking on the issue is in flux; and note that chemosynthsis biospheres would be possible even around brown dwarfs or outlying moons, like Titan and Europa. Perhaps (keeping original numbers):
1 Suitable star systems
1.1 Spectral class
3.1 Binary systems (since all but the closest binaries are ok, put it here)
1.2 A stable habitable zone
2 Planetary characteristics
2.1 Mass
1.3/2.2 Acceptable energy variation (as I hope I showed about, ""low"" isn't really necessary; include the case of Jovian moons in the HZ)
1.4 High metallicity (it comes from system formation but it's a planet property)
2.3 Geochemistry (maybe combine with metallicity?)
3 Alternative biologies
3.2 Red dwarf systems (tidally locked; low light?)
NEW Chemosynthesis-based biology.
4 on, no changes.
I should add, this is a really good article. Maybe I'm trying to gild the lily.
Mistake ?
I am not a specialist but ""Mars, by contrast, is nearly (or perhaps totally) geologically dead and has lost much of its atmosphere [10]."" (mass paragraph) seems doubtful to me. I mean, Mars still has volcanoes (Mount Olympus for example) so it sees strange to me that it's geologically dead, but once again I am no specialist.
Mars does have volcanoes, but as far as I know, they're not really active, so nothing is really ""powering them"" and geological activity isn't really showing up.
Luna, Earth's Moon has volcanoes, and it's accepted as geologically dead. The presence of volcanoes doesn't mean ACTIVE volcanoes.
That's basically what I was trying to say, I guess I just never made it really clear.
Picture Size
Can a larger size by found for the Habitability Zone picture? I'd like to use it as a background, but it won't scale up.
I downloaded it here: http://library.thinkquest.org though I can't remember the exact spot on the site. An image search for habitable zone turns it up first thing, but only at 19k...
Earth's geological activity
I am pretty sure that the earth isn't geologically active simply because of its large mass/surface area ratio. From what I have read, I believe that planets are probably heated mostly by radioactive decay, and/or tidal for | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

No, I'm afraid I am not, there is nothing in that phrase that can be qualified in anyway as warrant to a warning. And where have I used the everybody is doing it? To the contrary, I am ready to pay the price, but THIS, does not warrant any warning, and I advice you to submit that phrase to any administrator and see what he/she has to say. As for your adminsitrator abilities, I judge what I see, it is my right to question it, you should not dump every critics, when they are in ones talk page, as incivility and justify a block. Now you tell me how am I supposed to assume good faith when you single me out on the middle of discussions that when my 'incivilities' are compared to what is done else, it is nothing, while you appear to totally ignore those, I simply request common sense. Being administrator should assume that you know that the most important thing is what Wikipedia is, it is an encyclopedia and articles are the most important thing. You as an administrator are above all a user like any other user, administrative privilages should only be used when a user is disturbing, so for you to warn me, you should justify how telling someone that he refuse to listen, when he really refuse to listen warrant to a warning, or how am I disturbing. It is to you to convince me now that your blocking of a contributor a Wikipedian as much as you is not disturbing. Also, that you refuse to accept your mistake on the face of the obvious doesn't give a good opinion of you. But I am sure, that is the last of your worries. Just consider that everyone make mistakes, whatever or not they recognize it is what matters. (ix) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |

I have two sources that state that al-Khwarizmi is an Arab, you deleted it and kept Muslim, since you don't have sources to prove he's Persian. In the al-Biruni page, when I gave two more sources and cited one in the article, it got prominently deleted, why? Is it because you have a problem with proof that he could've been Arab?

This is about religion and the future of Indian civilization. Race has nothing to do with it. Don;t cloud the issue with meaningless tripe.
Hindutva is no more fascist than Zionism. Only anti-Semites and terrorists say that Zionism is fascism. | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |

How can the Shadowrun books possibly be a creditable source for Dumpshock when the same people who wrote the books run the site? That's like citing yourself as a creditable source, which is the best example of a conflict of interest. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
"::To:User:Martin Hogbin: Look. I would do it if it were true to my knowledge and/or there existed some reliable sources to confirm that. The saveur.com article, the only source against my claim that I consider at least semi-reliable, says ""It can also be eaten before it is allowed to ferment"". Do you think this confirms the existence of unfermented kimchi against all sources I gathered? Someone might like to have a bite of Sauerkraut before it is fermented.
I don't want to argue with you or something, but I have heard that beer is made from only malt, hops, and water in Germany (as it should be). Unfortunately, at least in Korea, Japan, and the U.S., most beer includes rice, potato, corn starch, and many other ingredients I think unnecessary. At least they have ingredient lists on the bottles, and there are a lot of official documents on those additional ingredients.
But kimchi is a different story. Like I said, I have never seen any packaged/jarred kimchi labeled ""unfermented"", maybe except for Japanses ""kimuchi"" which is more like pickled vegetables. And both traditional and contemporary kimchi is fermented. (they are not much different anyway.) Nevertheless, I am willing to temper my claim if editors can find even a couple of reliable sources that say some kimchi is unfermented.

French invented cricket
That's very interesting but, as the Independent article that you cite says: ""From the tantalising reference in the French national archives, it is unclear precisely what game was being played at Liettres in October 1478."" It certainly could have been cricket, but equally it might have been some other game entirely. conceivably an ancestor of croquet. So I think you need to put in some more qualifiers, such as ""it is possible that"" or ""it has been claimed that"". JH (talk page) " | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

This list is a work in progress. The in-line lists should indeed be moved off to their own pages, for consistency's sake. The various disambig page contents should be imported, to the extent that they are initialisms and symbols however, not all disambig entries are of this nature, and disambig pages do not attempt exhaustiveness (which is the hope of these lists). I do think that large entries (such as AA) are best handled by simply sending the reader to the page (""See entry"").

Possible Original Research:
I only skimmed through on these parts, but it seems to me that most of this needs to be cited - either for verification, or simply for the sake of further reading.
1. French people often refer to Metropolitan France as L'Hexagone (The ""Hexagon"") because of the geometric shape of its territory.
Unless it was a Frenchman or Frenchwoman who added that in, how can we know for certain that they really do? Is this self-made nickname for that region so internationally renowned that it's a surefire fact? Unless one can respond in the affirmative to either question, It needs a citation.
2. There are various theories as to the origin of the name of the Franks. One is that it is derived from the Proto-Germanic word frankon which translates as javelin or lance as the throwing axe of the Franks was known as a francisca.
Another proposed etymology is that in an ancient Germanic language, Frank means free as opposed to slave. This word still exists in French as franc, it is also used as the translation of ""Frank"" and to name the local money, until the use of the Euro in the 2000s.
However, rather than the ethnic name of the Franks coming from the word frank, it is also probable that the word is derived from the ethnic name of the Franks, the connection being that only the Franks, as the conquering class, had the status of freemen. In German, France is still called Frankreich, which literally means ""Realm of the Franks"". In order to distinguish from the Frankish Empire of Charlemagne, Modern France is called Frankreich, while the Frankish Realm is called Frankenreich.
Now here we're talking about cite-cite-cite-for-crying-out-loud-cite! Some of this might not only be original research, but speculation, also! Two Wikipedia-no-nos riddled into one! It seems like you only walk one paragraph or two down the article and bam! The poor thing is literally kissed with original research! Something has to be done!

I've unprotected the page but I do note that the article needs cleaning for WP:OVERCITE issues. Rather than putting 13 sources behind one sentence, these should be interspersed throughout the article and/or reduced to about 3 sources. It also needs some cleaning for consistency. Article subjects should be referred to by their last name throughout the article and in the article there are sentences that refer to Garner by her last name and by Connie.

Fourth Examination, 17th December, 1455. [Additional statements.]
The sum of a thousand pounds, or crowns, was given by the King of England for the surrender of the Maid; and an annuity of 300 pounds to the soldier of the Duke of Burgundy who had captured her.
I was appointed notary in the Trial, together with a certain Guillaume Boisguillaume.
The copy of the Process was shown to me is the true Copy made. I acknowledge my own and my companion's signatures, and that it is the truth. Two other copies were made. One was given to the Inquisitor, one to the King of England, and one to the Bishop of Beauvais. This Process was made from a certain Minute written in French, by my own hand, which was given up to the Judges, and was afterwards translated from the French into Latin by Monsieur Thomas de Courcelles and myself, in the form in which it now stands, as well and as faithfully as possible, long after the death and execution of Jeanne. As for the Act of Accusation and other parts of the Process, Maitre Thomas de Courcelles had very little to do with these, nor did he greatly interfere with them.
With regard to the word Nota, written above certain Articles in the Minute, there was, on the first day of the Inquiry, a great tumult in the Chapel of the Castle at Rouen, where, that day, the interrogation was held, so that Jeanne was interrupted at almost every word, while she was speaking of her apparitions: Certain secretaries were there-two or three-of the King of England, who registered, as they chose, her words and depositions, omitting all her defense and all which tended to exonerate her. I complained of this, saying it was irregular, and that I would not be responsible, as clerk, in this matter: and, therefore, on the morrow, the place of meeting was changed and convened in a certain hall of the Castle, near the Great Hall, while two English were placed to keep order. When there were difficulties as to Jeanne's answers, and some said she had not replied as I had written, I wrote Nota at the top, in order that the questions might be repeated and the difficulties removed. Although it is mentioned in the Process that the Judges stated they had received preliminary evidence, I do not remember to have seen or heard of it; but I know that, if it had been produced, it would have been inserted in the Process.
Jeanne was brought to Rouen and not to Paris, because, as I think, the King of England and the principal people of his Council were there.
At the beginning of the Process, I was sent for to attend a meeting held at a certain house near the Castle, at which were present the Bishop of Beauvais, the Abbe' of Fecamp, Maitre Nicolas Loyseleur, and many others. The Bishop told me it was necessary that I should serve the King: that they meant to bring a fine case against this said Jeanne, and that I was to recommend another greffier to assist me. I therefore nominated Boisguillaume.
I met Lohier in the Church, on the day after the Bishop had asked him to give an opinion on the Process, and inquired what he you ght of it. He replied, that the Process was of no value, and could not be maintained, because it was conducted in the Castle and not in a legal court; that it concerned many who were not summoned; that Jeanne had no Counsel: and for many other reasons. He added that, in his opinion, it was their intention to put her to death.
A certain Maitre Nicolas de Houppeville was summoned to attend the Trial; and was in great danger, because he refused. Maitre Jean Lemaitre, Sub-Inquisitor, delayed as long as possible his attendance at the Trial, and was much vexed at being compelled to attend.
One day, when Jeanne was being questioned, Jean de Chatillon spoke in her favor, saying that she was not compelled to reply to the question put to her, or to that effect. This much displeased the Bishop of Beauvais and his following, and there was a great tumult at his words. The Bishop ordered him to be quiet, and to let the Judges speak.
On another occasion, when some one was advising and directing Jeanne on the question of submission to the Church, the Bishop said, ""Hold your tongue, in the devil's name!"" I do not remember the name of him who was thus spoken to.
One day, some one, whose name I do not remember, having spoken of Jeanne in a way which did not please the Earl of Stafford, the latter followed him, sword in hand, to some place of sanctuary; and, if they had not told Stafford that that place was sacred, he would have slain him.
Those who seemed to me most affected [against Jeanne] were Beaupere, Midi, and de Touraine.
One day, I went with the Bishop of Beauvais and the Earl of Warwick to the prison where Jeanne was, and we found her in irons. It was said that at night she was fastened with iron chains; but I did not see her so fas | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |

I blieve the translation from the press office is very good. For someone who is not German this may not be clear, but the first paragraph states intentions, not facts. In Germany there are still people who physically hurt other people and (very few) state authorities who do not act against this, so I believe using is may be confusing. If you want to do a literal translation, the upper version is closer to the original, while the press office version is closer to the meaning.
Diverse errors and unencelopedic context use
I would like to ask this whole article to be checked through. While most of it seems all right, there are passages that make no sense, lack imporatant information or are plain wrong. Examples: First paragraph of Drafting process is
The outbreak of the racial fanaticism in Germany cost humanity approximately 62 million people, or 2.5% of the world population. About 60% of all casualties were civilians, who died as a result of disease, starvation, genocide (in particular, the Holocaust), massacres; and aerial bombing.
While the numbers may or may not be correct, what is the purpose of this paragraph? The people who died and especially the people who did not die because of the war but because of the Holocaust are very important for the way to Grundgesetz was written. But there is no connection made. The next paragraph does not make reference to this and mentions the necessity to keep history from repeating itself in a much more neutral way. Later on:
Any war could and should be categorised as an ""atrocity"" but the war that Nazi Germany started brought a scale of atrocity never previously known and the statistics of World War II clearly qualify it, by far, as the most heinous atrocity in all recorded history....
Unverified claim, clearly anti-German. The figures I heard suggest that both Stalin and Mao had a higher death toll than Nazi-Germany. Correct, most of their dead were in their own country, but I do not see how that would make it any better.
...and created thereby in Germany the legal situation within which any association of persons that, by reason of their aims or the behaviour of their members or adherents, seek to undermine or abolish this constitutional order is simply illegal, and which assigns to all Germans the absolute right and duty** to resist any person seeking to undermine or abolish this constitutional order, because this demand makes on the entire German people the memory of the 62 million casualties which brought the outbreak of the racial fanaticism in Hitler’s Germany.
While it is unclear where this text comes from, it does not seem to be a quote. I do not believe that this demand makes on the entire German people the memory of 62 million casualties is something that should be claimed in Wikipedia if it is not a direct or indirect quote of some political, moral or other authority. There is also context missing the the right and duty to resist. Violence by the people is only intended as a last resort and is illegal if there is functional police or military loyal to the consitution to deal with the situation.
Directly below the list with senseless emphasis, there is the claim that the German consitution contains blasphemy. Huh? The preamble contains a direct reference to god, other than that there is a rule that religion and state must not interfere in each others buisiness. I am not seeing any blasphemy there. At that time, Germany was a fairly religious state. To sum it up: I believe there was some editor here that wanted to make modern Germany look bad by applying non neutral wording and some unverified claims. The german version of this article seems much better and (logically) is checked much more often than this one. I suggest either having someone who not only read the whole Grundgesetz, but also has significant political and historical knowlege check this article for further inaccuracies or using the german version, which I believe is often checked by people who know the subject, to check this one through. There should be sources to every claim and despite the atrocities in the third reich, wording should be neutral and the crimes of the Nazis should only be mentioned in a context where it makes sense.

It's impossible that the population drop in 1 year about 7 000 persons, because Romania's population had increased since the 2002 census. I don't believe the 2002 census, simply because there are too low figures (ex. Roma population of Romania was 500 000 at the census, in reality is about 1.5 mil). Open your mind, Polaron, and read others sources than you provide, becuase not just yours are credible. Here is the official site of the Romanian tourism: [].

SSB,
A while back you had offered to be an intermediary for SqueakBox and I, as we had mutually agreed not to post to each others' talk pages (an agreement of which I am still abiding at least). Well, I would like to ask his assistance with a little Wikipedia-related ... project. I need the help, it may be a little fun for him, and I am totally in good faith (and need) wanting to enlist his assistance.
If you might communicate to him that I would like to run an idea past him, I would appreciate it. If so, I'll do it as he wishes; on his talk page or on mine. If not, that's fine too and my feelings won't be hurt.

More history?
The following was added to the intro at Telescope. I am moving it here because it seems to deal with specifically Optical telescopes. I am putting it in talk because some of it does not have much to do with telescopes (camera obscura, pinhole lenses, ect.), and it is full of un-cited claims.
Crystal Balls were used in China and India as lenses (possibly in the form of a camera obscura) to see at a distance as early as 400 BCE. Around 1000 CE, the Arabian astronomer and mathematician, Ibn al-Haytham, expanding and scientifically testing theories of Euclid, Ptolomey, and Aristotle, wrote about both pinhole lenses and concave lenses in his mathematical book on vision. Roger Bacon wrote about combining lenses to see at a distance in the 13th century, as did the 16th Century Italian spectacle maker, Giambattista della Porta (1538-1615), and a host of others. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Probably mostly modesty. Some people would be mortified if their friends and co-workers were to find out they had been snipped, because they confuse their fertility with their virility.

Leave in Greenfield, MA 350.org Event Incident
Since there are a whole list of *future* ""positive"" things listed, such as kids making pretty things, people on bikes with fancy armbands, and people planting trees, I thought it would not be out-of-line to list a negative event that *actually* occurred at a 350.org demonstration. It's hard on the one hand to say that this event wasn't related to 350.org but then include all these other events that are just as related. There are plenty of mentions of negative signs in the articles on Tea Party and 9/12 demonstrations. Did the organizers of those events intend for those signs to be there? No. Are they worth mentioning? Yes. It's pretty notable that one of these events featured a threat to a person. Bounties on private citizens don't go up every day. This article is a lot like an ad, but I guess that's the intent of the most persistent Wikipedia editors. If it puts them in a positive light, it's totally relevant and notable. If negative, it's not notable and totally tangential. " | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
