Gravity holds the galaxy together. The same applies to groups and clusters of galaxies, such as our [[Local Group]] where the Milky Way is, and the [[Virgo Cluster]], a collection of more than 1,000 (might even be 2,000) galaxies. The gravitation is produced by the matter and energy in a galaxy or group of galaxies. Everything in a galaxy moves around a [[centre of mass]], which is also an effect of gravity.
There are various types of galaxies: [[Elliptical galaxy|elliptical]], [[Spiral galaxy|spiral]] and [[lenticular galaxy|lenticular]] galaxies, which can all be with or without [[Barred spiral galaxy|bars]]. There are also [[Irregular galaxy|irregular]] galaxies.

Retrieved 2010-05-06]{{Dead link|date=September 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> (10<sup>14</sup>) stars, all orbiting the galaxy's [[center of mass]]. Galaxies may contain many multiple star systems, [[star cluster]]s, and various [[interstellar cloud]]s. The [[Sun]] is one of the stars in the [[Milky Way]] galaxy; the [[Solar System]] includes the Earth and all the other objects that orbit the Sun.
[[Star cluster]]<nowiki/>s are not galaxies, they are inside galaxies. [[Globular clusters]] are spherical-shaped star clusters which are part of the outer [[halo]] of the Milky Way. One of the largest (and oldest) known star clusters, [[Messier 15]], has several million stars, packed closely together, with a [[black hole]] at its centre. The stars are too closely packed to get an accurate count, but it certainly has more stars than some of the smaller galaxies.
Within [[galaxy cluster]]s, galaxies move relative to other galaxies. They sometimes collide. When this happens, the stars generally move past each other, but gas clouds and dust interact, making a [[Starburst galaxy]] with a burst of new stars. Gravity pulls both galaxies into somewhat new shapes, forming bars, rings or tail-like structures.
[[File:NGC 2997 ESO.jpg|thumb|270px|NGC 2997, a spiral galaxy in the [[constellation]] Antila, produces new stars at a rate of 1 or 2 stars per year.]]
Many galaxies continue to form new generations of stars. The Milky Way, and all spiral shaped galaxies like it (see right side image of NGC 2997), produce new stars at a rate of one or two stars per year. This [[star formation]] happens in the vast interstellar clouds that account for about 1% to 10% of the mass of these galaxies. Globular star clusters, on the other hand, are not currently forming stars because this activity happened billions of years ago and then stopped once all of the gas and dust clouds were used up.
In the [[astronomy|astronomical]] [[literature]], the word 'Galaxy' with a capital ''G'' is used for our galaxy, the [[Milky Way]]. The billions of other galaxies are written as 'galaxy' with a lowercase ''g''. The term ''Milky Way'' first came out in the English language in a poem by [[Geoffrey Chaucer|Chaucer]].
{{Quote|
:"See yonder, lo, the Galaxyë<br /> Which men clepeth the Milky Wey,<br /> For hit is whyt".<ref name=cox1 /><ref>Geoffrey Chaucer. ''The House of Fame'', ~1380.{{Cite web

When [[William Herschel]] wrote his [[wikt:catalogue|catalogue]] of deep sky objects, he used the name ''spiral [[nebula]]'' for objects like the [[Andromeda Galaxy]]. 200 years later astronomers discovered that they are made of stars as the Milky Way is, so the term 'nebula' is now only used for [[diffuse]] structures in a galaxy.
== Types ==
[[File:Hubble sequence photo.png|thumb|270px|Hubble Sequence.]]
There are two main kinds of galaxies, [[spiral galaxy]] and [[elliptical galaxy]]. They are classified according to the [[Edwin Hubble|Hubble Sequence]].
=== Spiral galaxy ===
[[File:Hubble2005-01-barred-spiral-galaxy-NGC1300.jpg|thumb|270px|[[NGC 1300]] is a [[barred spiral galaxy]].]]
A '''spiral galaxy''' is a galaxy that has a [[spiral]] shape. Most of the galaxies in the universe observed by [[astronomer]]<nowiki/>s are spiral galaxies (about 77%).<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.space.com/22382-spiral-galaxy.html|title=Spiral Galaxy Facts & Definition|newspaper=Space.com|access-date=2018-01-28}}</ref>
They are divided into two :
* Barred spiral galaxy (classified as "SB")
* Unbarred spiral galaxy (classified as "SA")
[[NGC 1300]] and [[NGC 1672]] are examples of barred spiral galaxies. The [[Whirlpool galaxy]] and [[Messier 81]] are examples of unbarred spiral galaxies.
The identifying characteristics of a spiral galaxy are disk-shaped rotating, spiral arms, and a bulge in the galactic core. The spiral arms are where new hot stars are born. "Bulge" in the galactic core has old stars. This feature is common to the most spiral galaxies.
=== Elliptical galaxy ===
[[File:ESO 325-G004 in galaxy cluster Abell S0740 (STScI-PRC2007-08).jpg|thumb|270px|[[ESO 325-G004]] is an [[elliptical galaxy]].]]
An '''elliptical galaxy''' is a galaxy that has a [[ellipsoid]] (3D of [[ellipse]]) shape. This type of galaxy are dominant in [[universe]], especially in [[galaxy cluster]]<nowiki/>s. The shape ranges from circle, ellipse, and cigar-shaped. In Hubble Sequence, this shape can be represented as class :
* E0 (circle-shape)
* E53 (ellipse-shape)
* E7 (cigar-shaped)
Elliptical galaxies have a large range in size. The giant elliptical galaxy can be over a more 1 million [[light year]]s and the smallest (know as "dwarf elliptical galaxy") are less than one-tenth the size of Milky Way<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://cas.sdss.org/dr6/en/proj/basic/galaxies/ellipticals.asp|title=Elliptical Galaxies|website=cas.sdss.org|access-date=2018-01-28}}</ref> The [[effective radius]] defines the area from which half its light comes. The mass of elliptical galaxy is also large. A giant elliptical galaxy can have mass of 10<sup>13</sup> (many trillions) of solar masses.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/cosmos/E/Elliptical+Galaxy|title=Elliptical Galaxy {{!}} COSMOS|website=astronomy.swin.edu.au|language=en|access-date=2018-01-28}}</ref>
=== Other kinds of galaxies ===
[[File:Busy bees.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Lenticular galaxy]] [[NGC 5308]].]]
A '''lenticular galaxy''' is a galaxy seen as a disc shape. The shape of a lenticular galaxy is between spiral galaxy and elliptical galaxy. The shape can be known by looking at the bulge of the [[galactic center]]. If the bulge is very bright, it is a spiral galaxy.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://cas.sdss.org/dr2/en/proj/basic/galaxies/lenticular.asp|title=Lenticular Galaxies|website=cas.sdss.org|access-date=2018-01-30|archive-date=2018-12-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181202092440/http://cas.sdss.org/dr2/en/proj/basic/galaxies/lenticular.asp|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In this system, the official name of the [[Quebec City|capital is Québec]] in both official languages. The Quebec government renders both names as ''Québec'' in both languages.</ref> is a [[province]] in the eastern part of [[Canada]] located between the [[Hudson Bay]] and the [[Gulf of Saint Lawrence]]. It is the biggest of [[Provinces and territories of Canada|Canada's 10 provinces]] by [[size]]. It also has the second-largest [[population]], after [[Ontario]]. Most of Quebec's inhabitants live along or near the banks of the [[Saint Lawrence River]]. Not many people live in the north of the province. Quebec borders the Canadian [[provinces]] of [[Newfoundland and Labrador]] and [[New Brunswick]] and the U.S. [[states]] of [[New York (state)|New York]], [[Vermont]], [[New Hampshire]], and [[Maine]].
Unlike the other provinces, most people in Quebec speak [[French language|French]] ([[Canadian French]]), which is the only [[official language]]. There is a strong French-language [[culture]], which includes French-language [[newspaper]]s, [[magazine]]s, [[movie]]s, [[television]] and [[radio]] shows. Their culture and language, however, is quite different from that of [[France]], mainly because of Quebec's isolation from France since the 17th-century and the separate evolutions of the French language in Quebec and in France. The Quebec culture is also influenced by [[English language|English]]-speaking Canada.
The [[government]] of Quebec has its offices in the capital, [[Quebec City]], which is one of the oldest cities in [[North America]]. The city with the most people in the province is [[Montreal]], which is also the second-largest city in Canada.
Quebec has many [[natural resource]]s that are used to create [[job]]s. Quebec also has many [[company|companies]] that create products for [[Information technology|information]] and [[communication]] technologies, [[Aerospace engineering|aerospace]], [[biotechnology]], and [[Health care|health]] [[Industrialization|industries]]. It has also developed close relations with the [[Northeastern United States]].
== Leaving Canada ==
Quebec was part of [[New France]] until 1760, which then became under [[British Empire|British control]]. Quebec became a province in the Canadian Confederation in 1867.
Since then, some people in Quebec have wanted to leave Canada. Since Quebec is mainly French-speaking, most of its people feel that it is very different from the rest of Canada and want to keep it that way. Some feel that for this to happen, Quebec must [[Secession|leave Canada]] and become its own [[country]]. However, the people of Quebec are divided as to its place in Canada.
Quebec held [[Democracy|democratic]] [[vote]]s in 1980 and 1995 to decide whether to leave Canada. In 1995, the people of Quebec chose to stay in Canada by a 1% margin.
== History ==
[[Native American|Aboriginal]] people and [[Inuit]] groups were the first peoples who lived in what is now Québec. The Aboriginal people lived by [[hunting]], gathering, and [[fishing]]. Some of the Aboriginal people, called [[Iroquoian]]s, planted [[Squash (plant)|squash]] and [[maize]]. The Inuit fished and hunted whales and seals for fur and food. Sometimes, they [[war]]red with one another.
[[Viking]]s came in [[longboat]]s from [[Scandinavia]] in 1000 AD. [[Basque Country (greater region)|Basque]] whalers and fishermen traded furs with Aboriginal people throughout the 1500s.
The first [[France|French]] explorer to reach Quebec was [[Jacques Cartier]]. He sailed into the St. Lawrence River in 1534 and established a [[colony]] near present-day Quebec City.
[[Samuel de Champlain]] came from France and to the [[Saint Lawrence River]]. In 1608, he founded [[Quebec City|Quebec Citty]] as a permanent [[Fur trade|fur trading]] outpost. Champlain signed trading and military agreements with Aboriginal people. Voyageurs, coureurs des bois, and Catholic [[Missionary|missionaries]] used river [[canoe]]s to explore the interior of the [[North America|North American]] continent.
After 1627, King [[Louis XIII|Louis XIII of France]] made a rule that only Roman Catholics could go to live in New France. [[Jesuit]] [[cleric]]s tried to [[Religious conversion|convert]] New France's [[Native American|Aboriginal people]] to Catholicism. New France became a royal province of France in 1663, and its [[population]] grew from about 3,000 to 60,000 people between 1666 and 1760. Colonists built farms on the banks of the [[Saint Lawrence River]].
In 1753, France began building a series of forts in the British [[Ohio River]] Country. Britain asked the French to remove the forts, and the French refused. By 1756, France and Britain were at war. In 1758, the British attacked New France by sea and captured the French fort at Louisbourg.
In 1759, British General James Wolfe defeated General Louis-Joseph de Montcalm outside Quebec City. France ceded its North American land to Great Britain at the [[Treaty of Paris (1763)]]. In 1764, New France was renamed the [[Province of Quebec (1763–1791)|Province of Quebec]].
In 1774, the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|British Parliament]] passed the Quebec Act, which recognized French law, the [[Roman Catholicism in Canada|Catholic religion]], and the [[French language]] in the colony and gave the Quebec people their first charter of [[rights]]. That angered American colonists angry, which was one reason that launched the [[American Revolution]]. A 1775 [[invasion]] by the [[Continental Army|American Continental Army]] was stopped at Quebec City. In 1783, Quebec gave the territory south of the [[Great Lakes]] to the new [[United States|United States of America]]. In 1837, disputes between English-speakers and French-speakers helped causew the Patriots' Rebellion in which over 100 died, and thousands were hurt. In 1867, the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]] passed the British North America Act, which united some of the [[British North America|British North American]] provinces.
== Quiet Revolution ==
The [[Conservatism|conservative]] government of Maurice Duplessis dominated Quebec [[politics]] from 1944 to 1959 with the support of the Catholic Church. After he died, the Quiet Revolution was a period of social and political change.The newly-elected Liberals passed laws in which the English Canadians lost their control over the Quebec [[economy]], the Roman Catholic Church became less important, and the Quebec government took over the [[Hydroelectricity|hydro-electric]] companies.
In 1963, a [[terrorist]] group that became known as the Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) began [[bombing]]s, [[Robbery|robberies]], and attacks on government offices. In 1970, the FLQ kidnapped [[James Cross]], the British trade commissioner to Canada. The FLQ also [[Kidnapping|kidnapped]] and [[assassination|assassinated]] Pierre Laporte, the Quebec Minister of Labour and Deputy Premier. Laporte's body was found in the trunk of Paul Rose's car on the South Shore of [[Montreal]] on October 17 1970. [[Prime Minister of Canada|Canadian Prime Minister]] [[Pierre Trudeau]] invoked the War Measures Act, and 497 people were arrested.
The Quiet Revolution was so named because it was not marked by many [[protest]]s or much violence.
In 1977, the newly-elected [[Parti Québécois]] government of [[René Lévesque]] introduced the Charter of the French Language. Often known as Bill 101, it defined [[French language|French]] as the only official language of Quebec.
==Government==
The government is based in the provincial capital, Quebec City. The government is led by a lieutenant-governor (pronounced "lef-") who represents the Crown. As of 2024, she is [[Manon Jeannotte]]. The political leader of the province is the premier. He is [[François Legault]] of the [[Coalition Avenir de Quebec]] (CAQ), elected in 2018.

[[File:Handshake.jpg|thumb|right|300px|A contract is a legal [[agreement]] or [[promise]] between two or more people.]]
A '''contract''' is an [[agreement]] or [[promise]] that the law can enforce.<ref name="UOL1">{{cite web |title=What is contract law? |last1=Longstaff |first1=Grant |url=https://www.law.ac.uk/resources/blog/what-is-contract-law/ |publisher=The University of Law |access-date=6 June 2026 |language=en |date=16 June 2025}}</ref> The law will enforce some agreements but not others. For example, in most places, if a parent promises to take a child to get ice cream, the law will not enforce that promise as a legal contract.
The legal rules about which promises are enforced by the law can be different in different places (or [[jurisdiction]]s), but a contract is usually enforced only if it is made by people or groups who want it to be enforced and who know what they are doing.
Sometimes, a contract is [[writing|written]] down and [[signature|signed]] by the [[wikt:people|people]] agreeing to it, but it does not always need to be. People usually sign a contract when something important or costly is being done. For example, when people take a [[job]], they will sometimes sign a contract with their [[employer]]s. The contract will show what the person must do as part of the job and how much they will be paid. The person and the employer will sign the contract, and it will become a [[law|legal]] [[promise]].
If someone breaks a contract, another person might [[lawsuit|sue]] him or her. In a lawsuit about a contract, the court will look at the contract, listen to what the people who made the contract say about it, and then make a decision about what the contract means.

When people say "the '''world'''" they usually mean [[Earth]], especially in a cultural and geopolitical sense. [[Human|Humans]] and all other known living things live in this world. Sometimes "world" means another [[planet]].
Before people discovered that Earth is a planet, they often used "World" to mean "[[Universe]]". They still sometimes use it to mean all humans or all [[civilization]].
Sometimes they mean a small part of Earth such as [[Western world]], [[third world]], [[new world]] or [[ancient world]]. Kingdom Of Dharmadom Island is the smallest country in the world. Its area is 0.02 km sq

When people say "the '''world'''" they usually mean [[Earth]], especially in a cultural and geopolitical sense. [[Human|Humans]] and all other known living things live in this world. Sometimes "world" means another [[planet]].
Before people discovered that Earth is a planet, they often used "World" to mean "[[Universe]]". They still sometimes use it to mean all humans or all [[civilization]].
Sometimes they mean a small part of Earth such as [[Western world]], [[Islamic world]], [[third world]], [[new world]] or [[ancient world]]. Kingdom Of Dharmadom Island is the smallest country in the world. Its area is 0.02 km sq

'''''Buffy the Vampire Slayer''''' is an [[United States|American]] [[television]] [[Television programme|series]] about a girl who fights [[vampire]]s and other [[monster]]s. It was written by [[Joss Whedon]]. He based it on the script that he wrote for a [[movie]] with the [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (movie)|same title]]. The movie came out in 1992 and stars [[Kristy Swanson]], [[Luke Perry]], [[Donald Sutherland]], and [[Paul Reubens]]. The television series has many [[wikt:fan|fans]]. It was originally shown from March 10, 1997 until May 20, 2003.
The main [[idea]] of the series is the opposite of what is the normal [[Hollywood]] idea about [[horror]]. In [[tradition]]al [[Hollywood]] horror stories, the young blonde girl is always the weakest character, the one who needs to be saved, and often the first one to [[die]]. In ''Buffy'', Whedon changed that. He changed that girl into the person with all the power. He changed her into the [[hero]]. Many of the monsters and storylines on the series are [[symbol]]s of real-life problems faced by [[teenager]]s. As Whedon has said, "Highschool is a [[horror movie]]."<ref>[http://www.shebytches.com/SFSaidgb.html Interview with Joss Whedon] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100512141258/http://www.shebytches.com/SFSaidgb.html |date=2010-05-12 }} by SF Said at Shebytches.com</ref>
''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' was first shown on March 10, 1997 on [[the WB]] [[television network|network]]. It was a very important part of the [[Warner Bros.]] [[television network]] in its early years.<ref>See: Kaiser Family Foundation "[http://www.kff.org/entmedia/upload/Speaker-Biographies-Generation-M-Media-in-the-Lives-of-8-18-Year-olds.pdf#search=%22%20Dawson's%20Creek%2C%20Buffy%20is%20often%20associated%20with%20the%20early%20success%20of%20the%20Warner%20Brothers%20Network.%22 Generation M: Media in the Lives of 8–18 Year Olds] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120804080910/http://www.kff.org/entmedia/upload/Speaker-Biographies-Generation-M-Media-in-the-Lives-of-8-18-Year-olds.pdf#search=%22%20Dawson's%20Creek%2C%20Buffy%20is%20often%20associated%20with%20the%20early%20success%20of%20the%20Warner%20Brothers%20Network.%22 |date=2012-08-04 }}", ''Kff.org'' (March 9, 2005), Schneider, Michael & Adalian, Josef, "[http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117946199?cs=1&s=h&p=0 WB revisits glory days]", ''Variety.com'' (June 30, 2006).</ref>
After five seasons, the series left the WB and went to the United Paramount Network ([[UPN]]) for its last two seasons. In the [[United Kingdom]], the entire series was shown on [[Sky One]] and [[BBC2]]. The BBC showed the series at two different times. A [[family]]-friendly [[version]] with [[wikt:violence|violence]] and bad [[language]] cut out was shown early in the evening and an unedited version was shown later at night.<ref>Burr, Vivien, "[http://slayageonline.com/essays/slayage8/Burr.htm Buffy vs the BBC: Moral Questions and How to Avoid Them] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927234420/http://slayageonline.com/essays/slayage8/Burr.htm |date=2007-09-27 }}" ''Slaye.tv'' (March 2003), p1.</ref> Sky One did something similar. It showed an edited version in the afternoon and the uncut version in [[prime time]]. From the fourth season onwards, the BBC showed the series in [[anamorphic]] 16:9 [[widescreen]] format, but Whedon said that ''Buffy'' was never supposed to be watched this way.<ref>"[http://www.homemediamagazine.com/news/iangeli-creator-joss-whedon-sees-evolution-tv-shows-dvd-5243 Angel Creator Joss Whedon Sees Evolution of TV Shows on DVD]" ''Video Store Mag'' (August 28, 2003).</ref>
==The Slayer==
The Slayer or Chosen One is a girl who [[kill]]s vampires. She had [[superhuman]] [[strength]] and [[speed]]. She also [[heal]]s very fast. It is her [[Fate|destiny]] to fight [[evil]] [[demon]]s, mainly vampires. When the Slayer [[death|dies]], a new girl is chosen. That girl gets all of the powers of the Slayer. Potentials (girls who might be chosen - "[[potential]] slayers") are trained from an early age by a "[[Watcher (btvs)|Watcher]]". In this series, Buffy Summers, Kendra Young, and Faith Lehane were the main slayers.
==Plot==
The main [[Fictional character|character]] was [[Buffy Summers]]. She was played by [[Sarah Michelle Gellar]]. Buffy was an ordinary [[high school]] [[student]] in the [[fictional]] city of Sunnydale, [[California]], except for being a "[[vampire]] slayer." Buffy's Watcher was a [[United Kingdom|British]] man named Giles. With the help of Giles and her friends, Xander and Willow, Buffy fought a different monster every episode. (aside from the main villains of each season).
Buffy and her friends went to [[school]] at Sunnydale [[High school|High School]]. They appear normal to their [[family|families]] while killing vampires and monsters at night.
Not all vampires were evil in the series. One vampire was named [[Angel (vampire)|Angel]]. He was given his [[soul]] back by a [[gypsy]] [[curse]]. The curse would make him lose his [[soul]] and become evil again if he became really happy. He and Buffy fell in [[love]]. The curse took his soul away when they had [[sexual intercourse]] for the first time. This caused Angel to become evil (losing his soul). When Angel got back his soul, he knew that he and Buffy could not be together because he might lose it again. Angel left Sunnydale and went to [[Los Angeles]]. The television series ''[[Angel (TV series)|Angel]]'' tells the story of what happened to him after he left.
==Notable episodes==
*'''"Earshot"''' (Season 3): This episode was not shown when it was first supposed to. The episode dealt with a school violence. It was first scheduled to be shown just after the [[Columbine High School massacre|shootings at Columbine]] happened. Because of this, they did not show it in the [[United States]] until the summer after the season had ended.
*'''"Hush"'''(Season 4): Nearly all of the episode was done with no talking at all. For 29 minutes, the characters could not say anything. Joss Whedon created the episode after he heard that that the most important part of the series was the [[wikt:dialogue|dialogue]]. The episode was nominated for an [[Emmy Award]].
*'''"The Body"''' (Season 5): This episode had no [[music]]al [[soundtrack]] at all. The episode was about the death of Buffy's mother, Joyce Summers.
*'''"Once More, With Feeling"'''(Season 6): The entire episode was done as a [[musical]]. Every scene included the characters singing. They usually were also dancing. The episode was nominated for an Emmy Award.
==Characters==
===Major characters===
====Buffy Summers====
Buffy Anne Summers (played by [[Sarah Michelle Gellar]]) is "the Slayer," one in a long line of young women chosen to fight evil. She is blonde and beautiful and she is a normal cheerleading girl at the start of the movie. Being the Slayer gave her increased strength, endurance, agility and healing. She also had greater intuition, and some [[ability]] of [[clairvoyance]], usually in the form of [[dream]]s that tell the [[future]]. She was born January 19, 1981 and grew up in [[Los Angeles, California]]. Buffy died two times in the normal series. There have also been [[magic]]al times that she died in, but these periods of time were stopped and do not affect normal times. The first time she died, she [[drown]]ed and was brought back to life with [[CPR]]. The second time, magic was used to bring her back to life.
====Rupert Giles====
Rupert "Ripper" Giles (played by [[Anthony Stewart Head]]) is Buffy's Watcher. He was an [[England|English]]man. He was Buffy's second Watcher. Her first watcher was killed in the movie version of the story but this fact is not talked about in the series. Unlike most slayers, it was not known that Buffy was a potential slayer at an early age. When she was chosen, the Watcher's council sent a watcher to help her. When he died, the Council sent Giles to Sunnydale to become her watcher. In the past, Giles used magic and had a lot of [[knowledge]] about demons and vampires.
====Willow Rosenberg====
Willow Rosenberg (played by [[Alyson Hannigan]]) was Buffy's [[school]]mate and best friend. She was very smart and good with [[computer]]s. During the series, she learned more and more about magic. She found out that she is very good at magic and became a powerful [[witch]]. While in highschool, she had a boyfriend named Oz, who was a guitarist in a local band called Dingoes Ate My Baby, and he was also a werewolf. After Oz left in college, Willow fell in love with another witch, Tara Maclay. When Tara was killed, Willow tried to destroy the world, but Xander stopped her. Later on, at the end of season seven, she developed a relationship with a potential slayer named Kennedy.
====Xander Harris====
Alexander Lavelle "Xander" Harris (played by [[Nicholas Brendon]]) was another good friend of Buffy. During season 4, Xander becomes romantically involved with an ex-vengeance demon, Anya (Anyanka), whom he later became engaged to, but left during the wedding in the episode "Hells Bells". It was said many times during the series that Xander was the person in the group who had no special powers at all, but still fought as much as everyone else, and, in season 7 ("Potential") Xander is named the "Seer" because he sees everything that is going on, because he's never actually in the spotlight, just next to it. Xander was often the character the writers used for [[comedy|comic]] moments. Xander was a major character in the series and saved the world (from Willow) at the end of Season 6, by telling her he loved her repeatedly, accessing the human love inside of her "evil" persona, created by [[Tara Maclay]]'s death.
====Dawn Summers====
Dawn Summers (played by [[Michelle Trachtenberg]]) was a magical energy (The Key) that was turned into a person and Buffy's sister. At first, Dawn had the special ability to open the way to a hell dimension (with her blood). After Buffy's death closed that way, Dawn's only special [[ability|abilities]] was being very good with languages and a very fast learner. She could have made a very good Watcher.
====Anya Jenkins====
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins, or Anyanka, or Aud (played by [[Emma Caulfield]]) was an 1100 year old [[vengeance]] demon. She was born with the name Aud somewhere in [[Scandinavia]] during the [[9th century]]. She became a vengeance demon after casting a magic spell on her [[love]]r, Olaf. The spell turned him into a [[troll]]. Anya spent the next 1100 years as Anyanka. As a vengeance demon, she would use magic to give a [[wish]] to a woman who had been treated wrong by a man. Anyaka lost her powers during a wish she cast for Cordelia Chase. When the wish was ended, Anyanka was trapped in the [[human]] [[body]] of 17 year old Anya. Anya and Xander got together after graduation and later were engaged. But Xander left her at the wedding, realising he was not ready to get married, but still loved her. She then got her vengeance powers back from D'Hoffryn (head of vengeance) but later lost them again after she realized how unfulfilling maiming human men was (her human side).
====Angel====
Angel (played by [[David Boreanaz]]) was an [[Ireland|Irish]] vampire first named Liam. He was born in 1727, in Galway, Ireland. After being turned into a vampire in 1753, he spent the next 145 year creating [[Fear|terror]] as "Angelus" ([[face]] of an [[angel]]). In 1898, he killed the daughter of [[gypsy|gypsies]]. As [[punishment]], the Gypsies returned Angelus human soul to him. This caused him to have to feel all the pain he had caused. Angel went to the [[United States]] and lived on the streets. He stopped killing people to drink their blood because with a soul he knew it was wrong. He lived a very poor life drinking the blood of [[rat]]s until a [[messenger]] from the Powers That Be took him to [[California]] to show him Buffy. He fell in love with her and changed his life so he could help her. Buffy fell in love with Angel but he turned evil after she gave him one true moment of happiness (after they had sex). Then he turned into Angelus and when he was finally changed back (after months, by Willow), Buffy stabbed him in order to once again save the world by closing acathla (against her feelings of love for him).
====Cordelia Chase====
Cordelia "Cordy" Chase (played by [[Charisma Carpenter]]) went to Sunnydale High with Buffy. She was a [[cheerleader]] who only thought of herself. She would help Buffy every now and then, but most often was the one that needed help. During her senior year of high school, all the money Cordelia's parents had was taken away by the government because Cordy's dad had not fully paid his family's taxes. Cordy had to get a job at a dress store to pay for a dress for her senior prom.
Although Cordelia started off as a self-involved character, she grew throughout the first three seasons, learning to love others (spawning a relationship with [[Xander Harris]], above). After Season 3 of ''Buffy'', Cordelia moves away to L.A. to become an actress. After having little luck, she meets [[Angel]] and they work together in the [[detective]] business- [[Angel Investigations]]. Cordelia's character grows even further throughout ''Angel'' as well, and by Season 4/5 of ''Angel'', she seems to be a completely different person.
====Spike====
Spike, or William the Bloody, (played by [[James Marsters]]) was an [[England|English]] vampire. He was born in [[London]] around 1853. He was turned into a vampire in 1880 by Drusilla, a pretty vampire created by Angelus. He spent the next 20 years with Angelus, Drusilla and Darla as they killed throughout [[Europe]] and [[Asia]]. After Angelus got his soul back and left, Spike and Drusilla continued for 100 years before going to Sunnydale to try and find him. Later, Spike fell in love with Buffy. He fought a demon (initially to get his chip removed) and got his soul back and helped save the world in the last episode ("[[Chosen]]"). He was sent, by the amulet he wore, to Angel. (Stars in the final season of ''[[Angel]]'').
====Faith Lehane====
Faith Lehane (played by [[Eliza Dushku]]) was a vampire slayer. Buffy's first death caused Kendra Young to be chosen as the Slayer. When Kendra died, Faith was chosen. Faith is in many ways the opposite of Buffy. While Buffy had family and friends for support, Faith was alone. Faith tried to fight evil, but later chose to be evil instead. In the end, Faith learns from her mistakes and helps Buffy in her fight.
====Oz====
Daniel "Oz" Osborne (played by [[Seth Green]]) was a musician and [[werewolf]]. He was Willow's first [[boyfriend]]. For three nights each [[month]], Oz would change shape. If he was not put into a cage or locked up, he would roam Sunnydale from the time the [[sun]] set until it came up again in the morning. Being a werewolf gave him increased strength, endurance and healing. As a werewolf, his mind was similar to an animal and not a human.
====Riley Finn====
Riley Finn was a member of a [[secret]] part of [[United States|American]] [[military]].
During the day, he was a helper to a [[professor]] at Sunnydale University. At night, he led a military team that hunted and captured demons. He had increased strength and endurance, but he was not as strong as Buffy. He gave Buffy an ultimatum and at the last minute she decided on him. But when she got to his helicopter they had already taken off and he did not see her. When he comes back in a later episode Buffy finds out that he is married.
'''Tara Maclay'''
Tara was a member of the [[Wicca]] group Willow joined in her first year in [[college]]. Willow and Tara started as friends. Over time, they became [[love]]rs. When Tara is first introduced, she is very shy. Tara has a very obvious [[stuttering|stutter]] in her first season. Through season five, Tara becomes more confident. Eventually, her family comes back to take Tara home, but she (with Buffy and the gang's help) stands up to them. She became more and more confident until Glory took her sanity. Willow got it back in the season five finale, and Tara was sane again.
In season 6, Willow used dark magic (magic that hurt other people) more and more. Eventually, she used it to make Tara forget a [[argument|fight]] they had had. Tara broke up with Willow. Tara came back when Willow stopped using dark magic. A very short time later, Tara died after being hit by a [[bullet]] meant for Buffy.

*'''Andrew Wells''': Andrew was a [[obnoxious]], possibly [[bi-sexual]] [[nerd]]y member of the Trio. He has a [[talent]] for [[language]]s and [[summon]]ing demons.
*'''Jenny Calendar''': Jenny was the high school [[computer]] teacher. She was also a member of the same [[gypsy]] [[clan]] that [[curse]]d Angel. She was in Sunnydale to watch Angel. She had a [[Love|romance]] with Giles. Angelus broke her [[neck]], killing her.
===Villains===
*'''The Master''': The Master was one of the oldest living vampires. He was the first major [[villain]] that Buffy faced in Sunnydale. The Master was the leader of a vampire [[cult]] called the [[Order of Aurelius]]. The cult included Darla who The Master turned into a vampire. Buffy killed the Master in season 1.
*'''Darla''': Darla was a very old vampire. She was turned into a vampire in 1609. She was a prostitute who was dying of [[syphilis]], when the Master turned her into a vampire. She was the vampire who sired Liam turning him into Angelus (Angel). Darla was killed by Angel in season 1 of ''Buffy''. She was later brought back to life on the spin-off ''Angel''.
*'''Drusilla''': Drusilla is a vampire created by Angelus around 1860. Angelus made her [[insane]] before turning her into a vampire. She has the ability to see the future and [[Hypnosis|hypnotize]] people. Drusilla created Spike in 1880. It is not known if Drusilla has been killed or if she still lives.
*'''Mayor Richard Wilkins III''': Wilkins was the [[mayor]] of Sunnydale. He first came to the area in the [[19th century]] to search for [[gold]]. He is the [[wikt:founder|founder]] of Sunnydale. Wilkins made a deal with demons. He created the town so that demons would have a place to feed and the demons said they would turn him into a pure demon. It would take over 100 years to turn into a demon. Wilkins turned into a giant [[snake]] at Buffy's [[graduation]]. She killed him by blowing up the school with him inside it. Wilkins was the major villain in season 3.
*'''Adam''': Adam was a [[cyborg]]. He was made out of parts of [[human]]s, demons, and [[Electronics|electronic]] [[machine]]s. Adam was created in [[The Initiative]]'s [[laboratory|lab]] 314. He was the major villain in season 4. Buffy killed Adam by taking his [[power source]] out of his [[chest]].
*'''Glorificus''': Glorificus, or Glory, was an [[evil]] [[deity|goddess]] from a different [[dimension]]. She was trapped in the body of a baby boy named Ben. Many years later, she began to take control of the body. After a while she could take full control and change the body into that of her own form for a short time. Glory was trying to find the key that would let her go back to her own dimension. Buffy stopped her. She beat her very badly and Glory was trapped inside Ben again. Knowing that she would become strong enough to come back one day, Giles killed Ben which also killed Glory. Glory was the main villain of season 5.
*'''The First''': The First, or The First Evil, is the creator of evil itself. The First has no body (incorporeal) and can not physically affect things. It can look like anyone who has ever died. This includes dead humans (Buffy's mother Joyce), vampires (Drusilla, Spike), and even Buffy herself. The First had an [[army]] of very very old vampires called [[Turok-Han]] and a cult of humans called [[The Bringers]] that did things for it because it could not do them itself. The First can not be killed. Its army and cult were destroyed in the final episode of the series and its plans were stopped. The First was the main villain in season 7.
==Whedon's Trademarks==
Joss Whedon uses several [[theme]]s throughout his works. These are often found in the writing done for ''Buffy''.
*'''Strong female characters''': As a supporter of [[feminism]], Whedon likes to create teenage girls with [[superpower]]s. Many of the most powerful characters in the series are female. Buffy and Willow are examples.
*'''Homosexuality''': Whedon uses [[Homosexuality|gay]] characters both for major parts (Willow and Tara) and for minor parts (Larry Blaisdall and Scott Hope).
*'''Witty dialogue''': The dialogue in Joss Whedon's series and movies is [[wikt:notable|notable]]. It often has [[rapid-fire]] [[wit]] and [[pop culture]] [[references]]. Some are easy to notice others are more difficult.
*'''Death''': No one is safe in a story written by Whedon. Major characters can die at any time. Minor characters die more often. In a world with magic, not all deaths are forever though. Buffy herself died at least four times and was brought back to life twice. Tara Maclay, Jenny Calender, Joyce Summers, and [[Principal]] Snyder were all regular characters that died and did not return. Other characters such as Harmony Kendall died and came back as vampires.
*'''Relationships''': A good [[Love|romantic]] [[Intimate relationship|relationship]] makes for a bad story. Whedon does not like relationships that have a happy ending. Every relationship in the series ended badly.
:Angel and Buffy: Angel loses his soul and turns evil.
:Spike and Buffy: Spike later tries to [[rape]] Buffy, but she stops him. At the end of the series, Spike dies to save the world.
:Willow and Tara: Tara is shot and killed.
:Xander and Anya: They almost got married, but Xander leaves Anya at the [[marriage|altar]]. They never get back together. Anya dies at the end of the series.
*'''Family''': In a Whedon story, family is not who you were born to. Family is who you chose to be with. In ''Buffy'', Buffy, Giles, Willow and Xander, as well as the others with them, were more of a family than any of their [[Biology|biological]] families.
*'''Fatherhood''': Fathers in Whedon's stories are almost always shown badly. Buffy's father left her mother and her. He is rarely talked about or seen in the series. Xander's father is always shown as being [[abuse|abusive]]. [[Father figure]]s replace the [[traditional]] father in the same way Whedon replaced the traditional family. Giles takes the place of the father in ''Buffy''. At times, even he is shown badly in the [[role]].

Jackson had a three and a half [[octave]] [[vocal range]].<ref>{{cite web|date=2011-03-04|title=Michael Jackson 'chemically castrated' as child: doctor - Health & Families - Life & Style|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/michael-jackson-chemically-castrated-as-child-doctor-2231967.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140209093336/http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/michael-jackson-chemically-castrated-as-child-doctor-2231967.html|archive-date=2014-02-09|work=The Independent|agency=Agence France-Presse|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref> He is the best-known musician to use the 'vocal hiccup'. He first used it in 1973 on ''It's Too Late to Change the Time'' on The Jackson 5's ''G.I.T.: Get It Together'' album. Jackson also sang 'come on' wrongly on purpose so that it sounded like 'shamone'.
==Personal life==
Jackson lived a well-publicized personal life, even though he tried to stay private. He was often in celebrity and [[tabloid]] [[Magazine|magazines]]. Later in his life, he was in magazines because of his personal life more than for his music.
===Marriages and children===
In 1994, Jackson married [[Lisa Marie Presley]], the daughter of rock musician [[Elvis Presley]]. He [[Divorce|divorced]] her in 1995 and married [[nurse]] [[Debbie Rowe]] in 1996.

===Bubbles===
In the 1980s, Jackson bought a [[chimpanzee]] from a Texas research facility. He named it Bubbles and used it for a [[pet]].
Bubbles frequently traveled with Jackson, who had a strong attachment to the animal.

=== Claims of sexual abuse ===
{{Main|1993 Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations}}
In 1993, he was accused of child molestation, but there was no trial; the case was [[Settlement (litigation)|settled]] out of court.
In 2003, he was accused a second time of child molestation. In a TV documentary called ''[[Living with Michael Jackson]],'' Jackson held hands with a 12-year-old boy called Gavin Arvizo and said that he shared his bed with children.''<ref>{{cite web|author=James Sullivan, Chronicle Pop Culture Critic|date=2003-02-05|title=The never-ending thriller / British press goes nuts over Jackson's confessions in documentary|url=http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/The-never-ending-thriller-British-press-goes-2636547.php|work=San Francisco Chronicle|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>'' When he was 13, Gavin Arvizo accused Jackson of [[Sexual abuse|sexually abusing]] him.

== Appearance and health ==
{{Main|Health and appearance of Michael Jackson}}
=== Hair ===
Over the years, Jackson's [[face]] and [[Human skin colour|skin color]] changed. This attracted a lot of attention.
However, when he was filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984, Jackson got second-degree [[Burn|burns]] to his [[scalp]]. These were extremely painful, and Jackson started taking painkillers.
In his later years Jackson always wore a hairpiece or [[wig]] that blended with his natural hair. His autopsy found that his scalp was [[Tattoo|tattooed]] black so that it blended in with his wigs.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref>
=== Face ===
Jackson's face appeared to go through major changes during his career.
People especially talked about Jackson's nose. Jackson had an [[Immune system|immune]] condition called [[discoid lupus]]. According to Dr. Richard Strick, Jackson had an immune condition called discoid lupus that "destroyed part of the skin of his nose".<ref>{{cite web|title=Geraldo: The Truth Behind MJ's Plastic Surgery, Vitiligo Secrets Revealed|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxyRGJ1latc|via=YouTube|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
Jackson denied having plastic surgery to his face on more than a few occasions. When people pointed out that his face changed, he said that [[puberty]], weight loss and his [[vegetarian]] [[Diet (nutrition)|diet]] were at fault.<ref>Jackson, pp. 229–230</ref> But the change was so drastic that few people believed him.
Jackson's autopsy found that his lips were [[Tattoo|tattooed]] pink.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":0">{{cite web|date=12 October 2011|title=Medical Expert Testifies on Conrad Murray's Care of Michael Jackson - News from|url=http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/3182-medical-expert-testifies-on-conrad-murrays-care-of-michael-jackson|publisher=InsideEdition.com|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
=== Skin color ===
Jackson's skin color varied a lot during the course of his career. It seemed to get lighter over time. People accused Jackson of wanting lighter skin and bleaching his skin to make it that way.
[[File:Vitiligo2.JPG|thumb|Like Michael Jackson did, this person has [[vitiligo]].]]
In truth, Jackson had [[vitiligo]], a rare skin condition that creates light spots on the skin. (The skin around these spots keep their normal color.) Large areas of Jackson's body were very pale. He used makeup and medication to try to make his skin color look the same all over his body. This made it look like his skin tone was getting lighter.
Jackson first revealed that he had vitiligo in a 1993 television interview with [[Oprah Winfrey]]. Later, his autopsy confirmed that Jackson did have vitiligo, with large sections of white or lightened skin on his body.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref> It also noted that Jackson used a skin-bleaching cream called [[Monobenzone|Benoquin]] to treat his vitiligo.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref>
=== Substance abuse ===
Jackson was allegedly [[Addiction|addicted]] to [[prescription]] drugs. In fact, he died of a [[drug overdose]]. In 2009 his personal [[physician]], [[Dr. Conrad Murray]], gave him [[Intravenous therapy|intravenous]] [[Propofol]] for his [[insomnia]]. The insomnia was actually a [[side effect]] of Jackson's addiction to [[Demerol]].<ref name=":1">{{cite web|date=2011-11-04|title=Michael Jackson's Secret World: Willing Doctors, Hospital-Grade Sedatives|url=http://abcnews.go.com/US/Conrad_Murray_Trial/michael-jacksons-secret-world-doctors-hospital-grade-sedatives/story?id=14881055|publisher=ABC News|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref> While Murray was out of the room, Jackson's [[Cardiac arrest|heart stopped]] and he died.

=== Controversies ===
Aspects of Jackson's personal life, including his changing appearance, personal relationships, and behavior, generated [[controversy]]. He was [[1993 Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations|accused of child sexual abuse]] in 1993, but the case was settled out of court. In 2003, Jackson was charged with child sexual abuse by Gavin Arvizo. In 2005, Jackson was found not guilty of all charges.

The chimp, for example, was permitted to use Jackson's personal toilet.<ref name="Monkey business in the loo">{{Cite web|date=May 12, 2005|title=Monkey business in the loo|url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/People/Monkey-business-in-the-loo/2005/05/12/1115843291343.html|work=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]]|accessdate=April 3, 2009}}</ref> As a result, people started to see Jackson as an eccentric.

=== Claims of sexual abuse ===
{{Main|1993 Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations}}
In 1993, he was accused of child molestation, but there was no trial; the case was [[Settlement (litigation)|settled]] out of court.
In 2003, he was accused a second time of child molestation. In a TV documentary called ''[[Living with Michael Jackson]],'' Jackson held hands with a 12-year-old boy called Gavin Arvizo and said that he shared his bed with children.''<ref>{{cite web|author=James Sullivan, Chronicle Pop Culture Critic|date=2003-02-05|title=The never-ending thriller / British press goes nuts over Jackson's confessions in documentary|url=http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/The-never-ending-thriller-British-press-goes-2636547.php|work=San Francisco Chronicle|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>'' When he was 13, Gavin Arvizo accused Jackson of [[Sexual abuse|sexually abusing]] him. This time Jackson was [[Trial of Michael Jackson|tried]] in court, and in 2005 he was found not [[Guilt (law)|guilty]] of fourteen [[Indictment|criminal charges]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Staff |first=Guardian |title=Michael Jackson: the verdicts in full |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2005/jun/14/michaeljackson.michaeljacksontrial |work=[[The Guardian]] |date=14 June 2005 |access-date=31 May 2026}}</ref>
In May 2013, on the ''Today'' show, a dancer called [[Wade Robson]] alleged that Jackson sexually abused him for 7 years. Prior to this, Robson had vehemently defended Jackson, including twice under [[oath]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://edition.cnn.com/2013/05/16/showbiz/jackson-sex-accuser/ |title=Wade Robson calls Michael Jackson 'a pedophile' |date=16 May 2013 |publisher=CNN |accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
== Appearance and health ==
{{Main|Health and appearance of Michael Jackson}}
=== Hair ===
Over the years, Jackson's [[face]] and [[Human skin colour|skin color]] changed. This attracted a lot of attention.
However, when he was filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984, Jackson got second-degree [[Burn|burns]] to his [[scalp]]. These were extremely painful, and Jackson started taking painkillers.
In his later years Jackson always wore a hairpiece or [[wig]] that blended with his natural hair. His autopsy found that his scalp was [[Tattoo|tattooed]] black so that it blended in with his wigs.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref>
=== Face ===
Jackson's face appeared to go through major changes during his career.
People especially talked about Jackson's nose. Jackson had an [[Immune system|immune]] condition called [[discoid lupus]]. According to Dr. Richard Strick, Jackson had an immune condition called discoid lupus that "destroyed part of the skin of his nose".<ref>{{cite web|title=Geraldo: The Truth Behind MJ's Plastic Surgery, Vitiligo Secrets Revealed|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxyRGJ1latc|via=YouTube|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
Jackson denied having plastic surgery to his face on more than a few occasions. When people pointed out that his face changed, he said that [[puberty]], weight loss and his [[vegetarian]] [[Diet (nutrition)|diet]] were at fault.<ref>Jackson, pp. 229–230</ref> But the change was so drastic that few people believed him.
Jackson's autopsy found that his lips were [[Tattoo|tattooed]] pink.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":0">{{cite web|date=12 October 2011|title=Medical Expert Testifies on Conrad Murray's Care of Michael Jackson - News from|url=http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/3182-medical-expert-testifies-on-conrad-murrays-care-of-michael-jackson|publisher=InsideEdition.com|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
=== Skin color ===
Jackson's skin color varied a lot during the course of his career. It seemed to get lighter over time. People accused Jackson of wanting lighter skin and bleaching his skin to make it that way.
[[File:Vitiligo2.JPG|thumb|Like Michael Jackson did, this person has [[vitiligo]].]]
In truth, Jackson had [[vitiligo]], a rare skin condition that creates light spots on the skin. (The skin around these spots keep their normal color.) Large areas of Jackson's body were very pale. He used makeup and medication to try to make his skin color look the same all over his body. This made it look like his skin tone was getting lighter.
Jackson first revealed that he had vitiligo in a 1993 television interview with [[Oprah Winfrey]]. Later, his autopsy confirmed that Jackson did have vitiligo, with large sections of white or lightened skin on his body.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref> It also noted that Jackson used a skin-bleaching cream called [[Monobenzone|Benoquin]] to treat his vitiligo.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref>
=== Substance abuse ===
Jackson was allegedly [[Addiction|addicted]] to [[prescription]] drugs. In fact, he died of a [[drug overdose]]. In 2009 his personal [[physician]], [[Dr. Conrad Murray]], gave him [[Intravenous therapy|intravenous]] [[Propofol]] for his [[insomnia]]. The insomnia was actually a [[side effect]] of Jackson's addiction to [[Demerol]].<ref name=":1">{{cite web|date=2011-11-04|title=Michael Jackson's Secret World: Willing Doctors, Hospital-Grade Sedatives|url=http://abcnews.go.com/US/Conrad_Murray_Trial/michael-jacksons-secret-world-doctors-hospital-grade-sedatives/story?id=14881055|publisher=ABC News|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref> While Murray was out of the room, Jackson's [[Cardiac arrest|heart stopped]] and he died.

=== Controversies ===
Aspects of Jackson's personal life, including his changing appearance, personal relationships, and behavior, generated [[controversy]]. He was [[1993 Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations|accused of child sexual abuse]] in 1993, but the case was settled out of court. In 2003, Jackson was charged with child sexual abuse by Gavin Arvizo. In 2005, Jackson was found not guilty of all charges.

=== Memorial service ===
A two-hour [[Funeral|memorial service]] was held at the [[Crypto.com Arena|Staples Center]] in downtown Los Angeles on July 7, 2009.

[[Mariah Carey]] sang "[[I'll Be There (Jackson 5 song)|I'll Be There]]" at the memorial service, followed by a speech given by [[Queen Latifah]]. [[Lionel Richie]] performed "Jesus is Love". [[Berry Gordy]], Motown founder, spoke next, offering condolences. [[Kobe Bryant]] and [[Magic Johnson]] also spoke, with Magic describing the event as a "celebration of Jackson's life and works" rather than a funeral.

[[Jennifer Hudson]] sang "[[Will You Be There]]" accompanied by a music video. Reverend [[Al Sharpton]] then gave a speech about how Jackson kept rising and "never stopped".

[[Jermaine Jackson]], Jackson's older brother, then performed [[Smile (Charlie Chaplin song)|Smile]], Michael's favorite song written by comic drama legend [[Charlie Chaplin]].

[[Usher (musician)|Usher]] then sang "[[Gone Too Soon]]", followed by a [[Montage (filmmaking)|montage]] of old videos of Jackson himself.

The service ended with speeches by members of Michael's family, including [[Jermaine Jackson|Jermaine]], [[Marlon Jackson|Marlon]] and daughter [[Paris Jackson|Paris]].

Jackson had a unique voice. Between 1971 and 1975, it changed from boy [[soprano]] to spinto [[tenor]].
Jackson had a three and a half [[octave]] [[vocal range]].<ref>{{cite web|date=2011-03-04|title=Michael Jackson 'chemically castrated' as child: doctor - Health & Families - Life & Style|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/michael-jackson-chemically-castrated-as-child-doctor-2231967.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140209093336/http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/michael-jackson-chemically-castrated-as-child-doctor-2231967.html|archive-date=2014-02-09|work=The Independent|agency=Agence France-Presse|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref> He is the best-known musician to use the 'vocal hiccup'. He first used it in 1973 on ''It's Too Late to Change the Time'' on The Jackson 5's ''G.I.T.: Get It Together'' album. Jackson also sang 'come on' wrongly on purpose so that it sounded like 'shamone'.
==Personal life==
Jackson lived a well-publicized personal life, even though he tried to stay private. He was often in celebrity and [[tabloid]] [[Magazine|magazines]]. Later in his life, he was in magazines because of his personal life more than for his music.
===Marriages and children===
In 1994, Jackson married [[Lisa Marie Presley]], the daughter of rock musician [[Elvis Presley]]. He [[Divorce|divorced]] her in 1995 and married [[nurse]] [[Debbie Rowe]] in 1996.

Bigi Jackson was born on February 21, 2002. Jackson never said who the mother was. He is better known as Blanket.

===Bubbles===
In the 1980s, Jackson bought a [[chimpanzee]] from a Texas research facility. He named it Bubbles and used it for a [[pet]].
Bubbles frequently traveled with Jackson, who had a strong attachment to the animal.

=== Claims of sexual abuse ===
{{Main|1993 Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations}}
In 1993, he was accused of child molestation, but there was no trial; the case was [[Settlement (litigation)|settled]] out of court.
In 2003, he was accused a second time of child molestation. In a TV documentary called ''[[Living with Michael Jackson]],'' Jackson held hands with a 12-year-old boy called Gavin Arvizo and said that he shared his bed with children.''<ref>{{cite web|author=James Sullivan, Chronicle Pop Culture Critic|date=2003-02-05|title=The never-ending thriller / British press goes nuts over Jackson's confessions in documentary|url=http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/The-never-ending-thriller-British-press-goes-2636547.php|work=San Francisco Chronicle|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>'' When he was 13, Gavin Arvizo accused Jackson of [[Sexual abuse|sexually abusing]] him.

== Appearance and health ==
{{Main|Health and appearance of Michael Jackson}}
=== Hair ===
Over the years, Jackson's [[face]] and [[Human skin colour|skin color]] changed. This attracted a lot of attention.
However, when he was filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984, Jackson got second-degree [[Burn|burns]] to his [[scalp]]. These were extremely painful, and Jackson started taking painkillers.
In his later years Jackson always wore a hairpiece or [[wig]] that blended with his natural hair. His autopsy found that his scalp was [[Tattoo|tattooed]] black so that it blended in with his wigs.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref>
=== Face ===
Jackson's face appeared to go through major changes during his career.
People especially talked about Jackson's nose. Jackson had an [[Immune system|immune]] condition called [[discoid lupus]]. According to Dr. Richard Strick, Jackson had an immune condition called discoid lupus that "destroyed part of the skin of his nose".<ref>{{cite web|title=Geraldo: The Truth Behind MJ's Plastic Surgery, Vitiligo Secrets Revealed|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxyRGJ1latc|via=YouTube|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
Jackson denied having plastic surgery to his face on more than a few occasions. When people pointed out that his face changed, he said that [[puberty]], weight loss and his [[vegetarian]] [[Diet (nutrition)|diet]] were at fault.<ref>Jackson, pp. 229–230</ref> But the change was so drastic that few people believed him.
Jackson's autopsy found that his lips were [[Tattoo|tattooed]] pink.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":0">{{cite web|date=12 October 2011|title=Medical Expert Testifies on Conrad Murray's Care of Michael Jackson - News from|url=http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/3182-medical-expert-testifies-on-conrad-murrays-care-of-michael-jackson|publisher=InsideEdition.com|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
=== Skin color ===
Jackson's skin color varied a lot during the course of his career. It seemed to get lighter over time. People accused Jackson of wanting lighter skin and bleaching his skin to make it that way.
[[File:Vitiligo2.JPG|thumb|Like Michael Jackson did, this person has [[vitiligo]].]]
In truth, Jackson had [[vitiligo]], a rare skin condition that creates light spots on the skin. (The skin around these spots keep their normal color.) Large areas of Jackson's body were very pale. He used makeup and medication to try to make his skin color look the same all over his body. This made it look like his skin tone was getting lighter.
Jackson first revealed that he had vitiligo in a 1993 television interview with [[Oprah Winfrey]]. Later, his autopsy confirmed that Jackson did have vitiligo, with large sections of white or lightened skin on his body.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref> It also noted that Jackson used a skin-bleaching cream called [[Monobenzone|Benoquin]] to treat his vitiligo.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref>
=== Substance abuse ===
Jackson was allegedly [[Addiction|addicted]] to [[prescription]] drugs. In fact, he died of a [[drug overdose]]. In 2009 his personal [[physician]], [[Dr. Conrad Murray]], gave him [[Intravenous therapy|intravenous]] [[Propofol]] for his [[insomnia]]. The insomnia was actually a [[side effect]] of Jackson's addiction to [[Demerol]].<ref name=":1">{{cite web|date=2011-11-04|title=Michael Jackson's Secret World: Willing Doctors, Hospital-Grade Sedatives|url=http://abcnews.go.com/US/Conrad_Murray_Trial/michael-jacksons-secret-world-doctors-hospital-grade-sedatives/story?id=14881055|publisher=ABC News|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref> While Murray was out of the room, Jackson's [[Cardiac arrest|heart stopped]] and he died.

=== Controversies ===

===Bubbles===
In the 1980s, Jackson bought a [[chimpanzee]] from a Texas research facility. He named it Bubbles and used it for a [[pet]].
Bubbles frequently traveled with Jackson, who had a strong attachment to the animal. The chimp, for example, was permitted to use Jackson's personal toilet.<ref name="Monkey business in the loo">{{Cite web|date=May 12, 2005|title=Monkey business in the loo|url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/People/Monkey-business-in-the-loo/2005/05/12/1115843291343.html|work=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]]|accessdate=April 3, 2009}}</ref> As a result, people started to see Jackson as an eccentric.

=== Claims of sexual abuse ===
{{Main|1993 Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations}}
In 1993, he was accused of child molestation, but there was no trial; the case was [[Settlement (litigation)|settled]] out of court.
In 2003, he was accused a second time of child molestation. In a TV documentary called ''[[Living with Michael Jackson]],'' Jackson held hands with a 12-year-old boy called Gavin Arvizo and said that he shared his bed with children.''<ref>{{cite web|author=James Sullivan, Chronicle Pop Culture Critic|date=2003-02-05|title=The never-ending thriller / British press goes nuts over Jackson's confessions in documentary|url=http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/The-never-ending-thriller-British-press-goes-2636547.php|work=San Francisco Chronicle|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>'' When he was 13, Gavin Arvizo accused Jackson of [[Sexual abuse|sexually abusing]] him. This time Jackson was [[Trial of Michael Jackson|tried]] in court, and in 2005 he was found not [[Guilt (law)|guilty]] of fourteen [[Indictment|criminal charges]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Staff |first=Guardian |title=Michael Jackson: the verdicts in full |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2005/jun/14/michaeljackson.michaeljacksontrial |work=[[The Guardian]] |date=14 June 2005 |access-date=31 May 2026}}</ref>
In May 2013, on the ''Today'' show, a dancer called [[Wade Robson]] alleged that Jackson sexually abused him for 7 years. Prior to this, Robson had vehemently defended Jackson, including twice under [[oath]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://edition.cnn.com/2013/05/16/showbiz/jackson-sex-accuser/ |title=Wade Robson calls Michael Jackson 'a pedophile' |date=16 May 2013 |publisher=CNN |accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
== Appearance and health ==
{{Main|Health and appearance of Michael Jackson}}
=== Hair ===
Over the years, Jackson's [[face]] and [[Human skin colour|skin color]] changed. This attracted a lot of attention.
However, when he was filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984, Jackson got second-degree [[Burn|burns]] to his [[scalp]]. These were extremely painful, and Jackson started taking painkillers.
In his later years Jackson always wore a hairpiece or [[wig]] that blended with his natural hair. His autopsy found that his scalp was [[Tattoo|tattooed]] black so that it blended in with his wigs.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref>
=== Face ===
Jackson's face appeared to go through major changes during his career.
People especially talked about Jackson's nose. Jackson had an [[Immune system|immune]] condition called [[discoid lupus]]. According to Dr. Richard Strick, Jackson had an immune condition called discoid lupus that "destroyed part of the skin of his nose".<ref>{{cite web|title=Geraldo: The Truth Behind MJ's Plastic Surgery, Vitiligo Secrets Revealed|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxyRGJ1latc|via=YouTube|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
Jackson denied having plastic surgery to his face on more than a few occasions. When people pointed out that his face changed, he said that [[puberty]], weight loss and his [[vegetarian]] [[Diet (nutrition)|diet]] were at fault.<ref>Jackson, pp. 229–230</ref> But the change was so drastic that few people believed him.
Jackson's autopsy found that his lips were [[Tattoo|tattooed]] pink.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":0">{{cite web|date=12 October 2011|title=Medical Expert Testifies on Conrad Murray's Care of Michael Jackson - News from|url=http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/3182-medical-expert-testifies-on-conrad-murrays-care-of-michael-jackson|publisher=InsideEdition.com|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
=== Skin color ===
Jackson's skin color varied a lot during the course of his career. It seemed to get lighter over time. People accused Jackson of wanting lighter skin and bleaching his skin to make it that way.
[[File:Vitiligo2.JPG|thumb|Like Michael Jackson did, this person has [[vitiligo]].]]
In truth, Jackson had [[vitiligo]], a rare skin condition that creates light spots on the skin. (The skin around these spots keep their normal color.) Large areas of Jackson's body were very pale. He used makeup and medication to try to make his skin color look the same all over his body. This made it look like his skin tone was getting lighter.
Jackson first revealed that he had vitiligo in a 1993 television interview with [[Oprah Winfrey]]. Later, his autopsy confirmed that Jackson did have vitiligo, with large sections of white or lightened skin on his body.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref> It also noted that Jackson used a skin-bleaching cream called [[Monobenzone|Benoquin]] to treat his vitiligo.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref>
=== Substance abuse ===
Jackson was allegedly [[Addiction|addicted]] to [[prescription]] drugs. In fact, he died of a [[drug overdose]]. In 2009 his personal [[physician]], [[Dr. Conrad Murray]], gave him [[Intravenous therapy|intravenous]] [[Propofol]] for his [[insomnia]]. The insomnia was actually a [[side effect]] of Jackson's addiction to [[Demerol]].<ref name=":1">{{cite web|date=2011-11-04|title=Michael Jackson's Secret World: Willing Doctors, Hospital-Grade Sedatives|url=http://abcnews.go.com/US/Conrad_Murray_Trial/michael-jacksons-secret-world-doctors-hospital-grade-sedatives/story?id=14881055|publisher=ABC News|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref> While Murray was out of the room, Jackson's [[Cardiac arrest|heart stopped]] and he died.

=== Controversies ===
Aspects of Jackson's personal life, including his changing appearance, personal relationships, and behavior, generated [[controversy]]. He was [[1993 Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations|accused of child sexual abuse]] in 1993, but the case was settled out of court. In 2003, Jackson was charged with child sexual abuse by Gavin Arvizo. In 2005, Jackson was found not guilty of all charges.

[[Jennifer Hudson]] sang "[[Will You Be There]]" accompanied by a music video. Reverend [[Al Sharpton]] then gave a speech about how Jackson kept rising and "never stopped".

[[Usher (musician)|Usher]] then sang "[[Gone Too Soon]]", followed by a [[Montage (filmmaking)|montage]] of old videos of Jackson himself.

==Personal life==
Jackson lived a well-publicized personal life, even though he tried to stay private. He was often in celebrity and [[tabloid]] [[Magazine|magazines]]. Later in his life, he was in magazines because of his personal life more than for his music.

===Bubbles===
In the 1980s, Jackson bought a [[chimpanzee]] from a Texas research facility. He named it Bubbles and used it for a [[pet]].

In 1993, he was accused of child molestation, but there was no trial; the case was [[Settlement (litigation)|settled]] out of court.
In 2003, he was accused a second time of child molestation. In a TV documentary called ''[[Living with Michael Jackson]],'' Jackson held hands with a 12-year-old boy called Gavin Arvizo and said that he shared his bed with children.''<ref>{{cite web|author=James Sullivan, Chronicle Pop Culture Critic|date=2003-02-05|title=The never-ending thriller / British press goes nuts over Jackson's confessions in documentary|url=http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/The-never-ending-thriller-British-press-goes-2636547.php|work=San Francisco Chronicle|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>'' When he was 13, Gavin Arvizo accused Jackson of [[Sexual abuse|sexually abusing]] him.

== Appearance and health ==
{{Main|Health and appearance of Michael Jackson}}
=== Hair ===
Over the years, Jackson's [[face]] and [[Human skin colour|skin color]] changed. This attracted a lot of attention.
However, when he was filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984, Jackson got second-degree [[Burn|burns]] to his [[scalp]]. These were extremely painful, and Jackson started taking painkillers.
In his later years Jackson always wore a hairpiece or [[wig]] that blended with his natural hair. His autopsy found that his scalp was [[Tattoo|tattooed]] black so that it blended in with his wigs.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref>
=== Face ===
Jackson's face appeared to go through major changes during his career.
People especially talked about Jackson's nose. Jackson had an [[Immune system|immune]] condition called [[discoid lupus]]. According to Dr. Richard Strick, Jackson had an immune condition called discoid lupus that "destroyed part of the skin of his nose".<ref>{{cite web|title=Geraldo: The Truth Behind MJ's Plastic Surgery, Vitiligo Secrets Revealed|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxyRGJ1latc|via=YouTube|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
Jackson denied having plastic surgery to his face on more than a few occasions. When people pointed out that his face changed, he said that [[puberty]], weight loss and his [[vegetarian]] [[Diet (nutrition)|diet]] were at fault.<ref>Jackson, pp. 229–230</ref> But the change was so drastic that few people believed him.
Jackson's autopsy found that his lips were [[Tattoo|tattooed]] pink.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":0">{{cite web|date=12 October 2011|title=Medical Expert Testifies on Conrad Murray's Care of Michael Jackson - News from|url=http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/3182-medical-expert-testifies-on-conrad-murrays-care-of-michael-jackson|publisher=InsideEdition.com|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
=== Skin color ===
Jackson's skin color varied a lot during the course of his career. It seemed to get lighter over time. People accused Jackson of wanting lighter skin and bleaching his skin to make it that way.
[[File:Vitiligo2.JPG|thumb|Like Michael Jackson did, this person has [[vitiligo]].]]
In truth, Jackson had [[vitiligo]], a rare skin condition that creates light spots on the skin. (The skin around these spots keep their normal color.) Large areas of Jackson's body were very pale. He used makeup and medication to try to make his skin color look the same all over his body. This made it look like his skin tone was getting lighter.
Jackson first revealed that he had vitiligo in a 1993 television interview with [[Oprah Winfrey]]. Later, his autopsy confirmed that Jackson did have vitiligo, with large sections of white or lightened skin on his body.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref> It also noted that Jackson used a skin-bleaching cream called [[Monobenzone|Benoquin]] to treat his vitiligo.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref>
=== Substance abuse ===
Jackson was allegedly [[Addiction|addicted]] to [[prescription]] drugs. In fact, he died of a [[drug overdose]]. In 2009 his personal [[physician]], [[Dr. Conrad Murray]], gave him [[Intravenous therapy|intravenous]] [[Propofol]] for his [[insomnia]]. The insomnia was actually a [[side effect]] of Jackson's addiction to [[Demerol]].<ref name=":1">{{cite web|date=2011-11-04|title=Michael Jackson's Secret World: Willing Doctors, Hospital-Grade Sedatives|url=http://abcnews.go.com/US/Conrad_Murray_Trial/michael-jacksons-secret-world-doctors-hospital-grade-sedatives/story?id=14881055|publisher=ABC News|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref> While Murray was out of the room, Jackson's [[Cardiac arrest|heart stopped]] and he died.

Jackson had a three and a half [[octave]] [[vocal range]].<ref>{{cite web|date=2011-03-04|title=Michael Jackson 'chemically castrated' as child: doctor - Health & Families - Life & Style|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/michael-jackson-chemically-castrated-as-child-doctor-2231967.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140209093336/http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/michael-jackson-chemically-castrated-as-child-doctor-2231967.html|archive-date=2014-02-09|work=The Independent|agency=Agence France-Presse|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref> He is the best-known musician to use the 'vocal hiccup'. He first used it in 1973 on ''It's Too Late to Change the Time'' on The Jackson 5's ''G.I.T.: Get It Together'' album. Jackson also sang 'come on' wrongly on purpose so that it sounded like 'shamone'.
==Personal life==
Jackson lived a well-publicized personal life, even though he tried to stay private. He was often in celebrity and [[tabloid]] [[Magazine|magazines]]. Later in his life, he was in magazines because of his personal life more than for his music.
===Marriages and children===
In 1994, Jackson married [[Lisa Marie Presley]], the daughter of rock musician [[Elvis Presley]]. He [[Divorce|divorced]] her in 1995 and married [[nurse]] [[Debbie Rowe]] in 1996.
Three months after Rowe and Jackson's marriage, she gave birth to a son, Prince Michael Jackson. The next year, she gave birth to a daughter, [[Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson]]. The couple divorced in April 2000.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/doc/422108417.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Sep%206,%202006&author=Jessica%20Garrison&pub=Los%20Angeles%20Times&edition=&startpage=&desc=Case%20Reopens%20Debate%20on%20Private%20Judges;%20Michael%20Jackson's%20clash%20with%20ex-wife%20heads%20for%20county%20court%20as%20officials%20seek%20to%20reform%20system |title=Los Angeles Times: Archives - Case Reopens Debate on Private Judges |publisher=Pqasb.pqarchiver.com |date=2006-09-06 |accessdate=2014-06-24 |archive-date=2016-03-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306212717/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/doc/422108417.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS%3AFT&type=current&date=Sep%206%2C%202006&author=Jessica%20Garrison&pub=Los%20Angeles%20Times&edition=&startpage=&desc=Case%20Reopens%20Debate%20on%20Private%20Judges%3B%20Michael%20Jackson%27s%20clash%20with%20ex-wife%20heads%20for%20county%20court%20as%20officials%20seek%20to%20reform%20system |url-status=dead }}</ref>
Bigi Jackson was born on February 21, 2002. Jackson never said who the mother was. He is better known as Blanket. When Blanket was 8 months old, Jackson held him over a [[balcony]] with a towel over Blanket's head. At the time, people did not know that he was called Blanket. Jackson made a public apology after people got upset.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/2494249.stm |title=Entertainment | Jackson: Baby stunt was 'mistake' |work=BBC News |date=2002-11-20 |accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
After Jackson died, his mother Katherine was made the guardian of his children.

===Bubbles===
In the 1980s, Jackson bought a [[chimpanzee]] from a Texas research facility. He named it Bubbles and used it for a [[pet]].
Bubbles frequently traveled with Jackson, who had a strong attachment to the animal. The chimp, for example, was permitted to use Jackson's personal toilet.<ref name="Monkey business in the loo">{{Cite web|date=May 12, 2005|title=Monkey business in the loo|url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/People/Monkey-business-in-the-loo/2005/05/12/1115843291343.html|work=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]]|accessdate=April 3, 2009}}</ref> As a result, people started to see Jackson as an eccentric.

=== Claims of sexual abuse ===
{{Main|1993 Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations}}
In 1993, he was accused of child molestation, but there was no trial; the case was [[Settlement (litigation)|settled]] out of court.
In 2003, he was accused a second time of child molestation. In a TV documentary called ''[[Living with Michael Jackson]],'' Jackson held hands with a 12-year-old boy called Gavin Arvizo and said that he shared his bed with children.''<ref>{{cite web|author=James Sullivan, Chronicle Pop Culture Critic|date=2003-02-05|title=The never-ending thriller / British press goes nuts over Jackson's confessions in documentary|url=http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/The-never-ending-thriller-British-press-goes-2636547.php|work=San Francisco Chronicle|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>'' When he was 13, Gavin Arvizo accused Jackson of [[Sexual abuse|sexually abusing]] him.

In May 2013, on the ''Today'' show, a dancer called [[Wade Robson]] alleged that Jackson sexually abused him for 7 years. Prior to this, Robson had vehemently defended Jackson, including twice under [[oath]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://edition.cnn.com/2013/05/16/showbiz/jackson-sex-accuser/ |title=Wade Robson calls Michael Jackson 'a pedophile' |date=16 May 2013 |publisher=CNN |accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
== Appearance and health ==
{{Main|Health and appearance of Michael Jackson}}
=== Hair ===
Over the years, Jackson's [[face]] and [[Human skin colour|skin color]] changed. This attracted a lot of attention.
However, when he was filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984, Jackson got second-degree [[Burn|burns]] to his [[scalp]]. These were extremely painful, and Jackson started taking painkillers.
In his later years Jackson always wore a hairpiece or [[wig]] that blended with his natural hair. His autopsy found that his scalp was [[Tattoo|tattooed]] black so that it blended in with his wigs.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref>
=== Face ===
Jackson's face appeared to go through major changes during his career.
People especially talked about Jackson's nose. Jackson had an [[Immune system|immune]] condition called [[discoid lupus]]. According to Dr. Richard Strick, Jackson had an immune condition called discoid lupus that "destroyed part of the skin of his nose".<ref>{{cite web|title=Geraldo: The Truth Behind MJ's Plastic Surgery, Vitiligo Secrets Revealed|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxyRGJ1latc|via=YouTube|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
Jackson denied having plastic surgery to his face on more than a few occasions. When people pointed out that his face changed, he said that [[puberty]], weight loss and his [[vegetarian]] [[Diet (nutrition)|diet]] were at fault.<ref>Jackson, pp. 229–230</ref> But the change was so drastic that few people believed him.
Jackson's autopsy found that his lips were [[Tattoo|tattooed]] pink.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":0">{{cite web|date=12 October 2011|title=Medical Expert Testifies on Conrad Murray's Care of Michael Jackson - News from|url=http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/3182-medical-expert-testifies-on-conrad-murrays-care-of-michael-jackson|publisher=InsideEdition.com|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
=== Skin color ===
Jackson's skin color varied a lot during the course of his career. It seemed to get lighter over time. People accused Jackson of wanting lighter skin and bleaching his skin to make it that way.
[[File:Vitiligo2.JPG|thumb|Like Michael Jackson did, this person has [[vitiligo]].]]
In truth, Jackson had [[vitiligo]], a rare skin condition that creates light spots on the skin. (The skin around these spots keep their normal color.) Large areas of Jackson's body were very pale. He used makeup and medication to try to make his skin color look the same all over his body. This made it look like his skin tone was getting lighter.
Jackson first revealed that he had vitiligo in a 1993 television interview with [[Oprah Winfrey]]. Later, his autopsy confirmed that Jackson did have vitiligo, with large sections of white or lightened skin on his body.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref> It also noted that Jackson used a skin-bleaching cream called [[Monobenzone|Benoquin]] to treat his vitiligo.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref>
=== Substance abuse ===
Jackson was allegedly [[Addiction|addicted]] to [[prescription]] drugs. In fact, he died of a [[drug overdose]]. In 2009 his personal [[physician]], [[Dr. Conrad Murray]], gave him [[Intravenous therapy|intravenous]] [[Propofol]] for his [[insomnia]]. The insomnia was actually a [[side effect]] of Jackson's addiction to [[Demerol]].<ref name=":1">{{cite web|date=2011-11-04|title=Michael Jackson's Secret World: Willing Doctors, Hospital-Grade Sedatives|url=http://abcnews.go.com/US/Conrad_Murray_Trial/michael-jacksons-secret-world-doctors-hospital-grade-sedatives/story?id=14881055|publisher=ABC News|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref> While Murray was out of the room, Jackson's [[Cardiac arrest|heart stopped]] and he died.

=== Controversies ===
Aspects of Jackson's personal life, including his changing appearance, personal relationships, and behavior, generated [[controversy]]. He was [[1993 Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations|accused of child sexual abuse]] in 1993, but the case was settled out of court. In 2003, Jackson was charged with child sexual abuse by Gavin Arvizo. In 2005, Jackson was found not guilty of all charges.

=== Memorial service ===
A two-hour [[Funeral|memorial service]] was held at the [[Crypto.com Arena|Staples Center]] in downtown Los Angeles on July 7, 2009. It began with [[Smokey Robinson]] reading comments by [[Nelson Mandela]], [[Diana Ross]] and other close friends of Jackson's who could not attend the memorial.<ref>{{cite news |first=Jesse |last=Washington |title=Jackson casket on stage |url=http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iJN6FHrmT75HzSZChIb2PDzFEDXgD999OGF83 |agency=[[Associated Press]] |date=7 July 2009 |accessdate=7 July 2009 |archive-date=10 July 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090710131936/http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iJN6FHrmT75HzSZChIb2PDzFEDXgD999OGF83 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
[[Mariah Carey]] sang "[[I'll Be There (Jackson 5 song)|I'll Be There]]" at the memorial service, followed by a speech given by [[Queen Latifah]]. [[Lionel Richie]] performed "Jesus is Love". [[Berry Gordy]], Motown founder, spoke next, offering condolences. [[Kobe Bryant]] and [[Magic Johnson]] also spoke, with Magic describing the event as a "celebration of Jackson's life and works" rather than a funeral.
[[File:Michael Jackson Memorial.jpg|thumb|A memorial to Michael in [[Munich, Germany]]]]
[[Jennifer Hudson]] sang "[[Will You Be There]]" accompanied by a music video. Reverend [[Al Sharpton]] then gave a speech about how Jackson kept rising and "never stopped". [[John Mayer]] played the guitar as he did in Michael Jackson's song [[Human Nature (Michael Jackson song)|Human Nature]]. This was followed by [[Brooke Shields]] speaking.
[[Jermaine Jackson]], Jackson's older brother, then performed [[Smile (Charlie Chaplin song)|Smile]], Michael's favorite song written by comic drama legend [[Charlie Chaplin]].

(This was a reminder to people who accused Jackson of unproven [[Child sexual abuse|child molestations]]). She also said that Jackson's [[Humanitarianism|humanitarian]] efforts should be praised.
[[Usher (musician)|Usher]] then sang "[[Gone Too Soon]]", followed by a [[Montage (filmmaking)|montage]] of old videos of Jackson himself. Shamim sang next, with [[Kenny Ortega]] introducing him afterward. Kenny Ortega explained that Michael Jackson saw the Staples Center as his home, which is why the funeral service was held there. Ortega then sang a tribute to Jackson, including "[[We Are the World]]" and "[[Heal the World]]".
The service ended with speeches by members of Michael's family, including [[Jermaine Jackson|Jermaine]], [[Marlon Jackson|Marlon]] and daughter [[Paris Jackson|Paris]]. Paris began to cry and said that "Daddy was the best father anyone could have." She added "I will miss him" before leaving the microphone and turning into [[Janet Jackson]]'s arms.

===Bubbles===
In the 1980s, Jackson bought a [[chimpanzee]] from a Texas research facility. He named it Bubbles and used it for a [[pet]].

In 1993, he was accused of child molestation, but there was no trial; the case was [[Settlement (litigation)|settled]] out of court.
In 2003, he was accused a second time of child molestation.

== Appearance and health ==
{{Main|Health and appearance of Michael Jackson}}
=== Hair ===
Over the years, Jackson's [[face]] and [[Human skin colour|skin color]] changed. This attracted a lot of attention.
However, when he was filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984, Jackson got second-degree [[Burn|burns]] to his [[scalp]]. These were extremely painful, and Jackson started taking painkillers.
In his later years Jackson always wore a hairpiece or [[wig]] that blended with his natural hair. His autopsy found that his scalp was [[Tattoo|tattooed]] black so that it blended in with his wigs.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref>
=== Face ===
Jackson's face appeared to go through major changes during his career.
People especially talked about Jackson's nose. Jackson had an [[Immune system|immune]] condition called [[discoid lupus]]. According to Dr. Richard Strick, Jackson had an immune condition called discoid lupus that "destroyed part of the skin of his nose".<ref>{{cite web|title=Geraldo: The Truth Behind MJ's Plastic Surgery, Vitiligo Secrets Revealed|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxyRGJ1latc|via=YouTube|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
Jackson denied having plastic surgery to his face on more than a few occasions. When people pointed out that his face changed, he said that [[puberty]], weight loss and his [[vegetarian]] [[Diet (nutrition)|diet]] were at fault.<ref>Jackson, pp. 229–230</ref> But the change was so drastic that few people believed him.
Jackson's autopsy found that his lips were [[Tattoo|tattooed]] pink.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":0">{{cite web|date=12 October 2011|title=Medical Expert Testifies on Conrad Murray's Care of Michael Jackson - News from|url=http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/3182-medical-expert-testifies-on-conrad-murrays-care-of-michael-jackson|publisher=InsideEdition.com|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref>
=== Skin color ===
Jackson's skin color varied a lot during the course of his career. It seemed to get lighter over time. People accused Jackson of wanting lighter skin and bleaching his skin to make it that way.
[[File:Vitiligo2.JPG|thumb|Like Michael Jackson did, this person has [[vitiligo]].]]
In truth, Jackson had [[vitiligo]], a rare skin condition that creates light spots on the skin. (The skin around these spots keep their normal color.) Large areas of Jackson's body were very pale. He used makeup and medication to try to make his skin color look the same all over his body. This made it look like his skin tone was getting lighter.
Jackson first revealed that he had vitiligo in a 1993 television interview with [[Oprah Winfrey]]. Later, his autopsy confirmed that Jackson did have vitiligo, with large sections of white or lightened skin on his body.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref> It also noted that Jackson used a skin-bleaching cream called [[Monobenzone|Benoquin]] to treat his vitiligo.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Michael Jackson’s Autopsy|url=https://documents.latimes.com/michael-jackson-autopsy/|access-date=2024-09-30|website=Documents Related to Michael Jackson's Death|publisher=The Los Angeles Times}}</ref>
=== Substance abuse ===
Jackson was allegedly [[Addiction|addicted]] to [[prescription]] drugs. In fact, he died of a [[drug overdose]]. In 2009 his personal [[physician]], [[Dr. Conrad Murray]], gave him [[Intravenous therapy|intravenous]] [[Propofol]] for his [[insomnia]]. The insomnia was actually a [[side effect]] of Jackson's addiction to [[Demerol]].<ref name=":1">{{cite web|date=2011-11-04|title=Michael Jackson's Secret World: Willing Doctors, Hospital-Grade Sedatives|url=http://abcnews.go.com/US/Conrad_Murray_Trial/michael-jacksons-secret-world-doctors-hospital-grade-sedatives/story?id=14881055|publisher=ABC News|accessdate=2014-06-24}}</ref> While Murray was out of the room, Jackson's [[Cardiac arrest|heart stopped]] and he died.

=== Controversies ===
Aspects of Jackson's personal life, including his changing appearance, personal relationships, and behavior, generated [[controversy]]. He was [[1993 Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations|accused of child sexual abuse]] in 1993, but the case was settled out of court. In 2003, Jackson was charged with child sexual abuse by Gavin Arvizo. In 2005, Jackson was found not guilty of all charges.

=== Memorial service ===
A two-hour [[Funeral|memorial service]] was held at the [[Crypto.com Arena|Staples Center]] in downtown Los Angeles on July 7, 2009. It began with [[Smokey Robinson]] reading comments by [[Nelson Mandela]], [[Diana Ross]] and other close friends of Jackson's who could not attend the memorial.<ref>{{cite news |first=Jesse |last=Washington |title=Jackson casket on stage |url=http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iJN6FHrmT75HzSZChIb2PDzFEDXgD999OGF83 |agency=[[Associated Press]] |date=7 July 2009 |accessdate=7 July 2009 |archive-date=10 July 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090710131936/http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iJN6FHrmT75HzSZChIb2PDzFEDXgD999OGF83 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
[[Mariah Carey]] sang "[[I'll Be There (Jackson 5 song)|I'll Be There]]" at the memorial service, followed by a speech given by [[Queen Latifah]]. [[Lionel Richie]] performed "Jesus is Love". [[Berry Gordy]], Motown founder, spoke next, offering condolences. [[Kobe Bryant]] and [[Magic Johnson]] also spoke, with Magic describing the event as a "celebration of Jackson's life and works" rather than a funeral.
[[File:Michael Jackson Memorial.jpg|thumb|A memorial to Michael in [[Munich, Germany]]]]
[[Jennifer Hudson]] sang "[[Will You Be There]]" accompanied by a music video. Reverend [[Al Sharpton]] then gave a speech about how Jackson kept rising and "never stopped".

[[Jermaine Jackson]], Jackson's older brother, then performed [[Smile (Charlie Chaplin song)|Smile]], Michael's favorite song written by comic drama legend [[Charlie Chaplin]]. Next to speak were [[Martin Luther King III]] and [[Bernice King]]. Congresswoman [[Sheila Jackson Lee]] followed them, claiming "people are innocent until proven guilty." (This was a reminder to people who accused Jackson of unproven [[Child sexual abuse|child molestations]]). She also said that Jackson's [[Humanitarianism|humanitarian]] efforts should be praised.
[[Usher (musician)|Usher]] then sang "[[Gone Too Soon]]", followed by a [[Montage (filmmaking)|montage]] of old videos of Jackson himself. Shamim sang next, with [[Kenny Ortega]] introducing him afterward. Kenny Ortega explained that Michael Jackson saw the Staples Center as his home, which is why the funeral service was held there. Ortega then sang a tribute to Jackson, including "[[We Are the World]]" and "[[Heal the World]]".
The service ended with speeches by members of Michael's family, including [[Jermaine Jackson|Jermaine]], [[Marlon Jackson|Marlon]] and daughter [[Paris Jackson|Paris]]. Paris began to cry and said that "Daddy was the best father anyone could have." She added "I will miss him" before leaving the microphone and turning into [[Janet Jackson]]'s arms.
===Burial===
At first, Michael Jackson's custom-made quarter-million dollar golden [[Coffin|casket]], [[nickname]]d "The [[Prometheus|Promethean]]," was not expected to appear at the memorial service. However, due to a change in the family's plans, the casket did appear.<ref>{{cite news|first=Jesse|last=Washington|title=Michael Jackson's casket to be taken to memorial|url=http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iJN6FHrmT75HzSZChIb2PDzFEDXgD999LPBO0|agency=[[Associated Press]]|date=7 July 2009|accessdate=7 July 2009|archive-date=10 July 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090710135501/http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iJN6FHrmT75HzSZChIb2PDzFEDXgD999LPBO0|url-status=dead}}</ref>

'''Chicken''' refers to the domesticated subspecies of the [[red junglefowl]]. It is raised in many places for its [[meat]] and [[egg (food)|egg]]s.<ref>{{Cite encyclopedia |url= http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/110675/chicken |title=chicken (bird) -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia |encyclopedia=britannica.com |accessdate=1 May 2010}}</ref> They are usually kept by humans as [[livestock]]. Some breeds of chickens can fly for a short distance. Some sleep in trees (if there are trees around).
A [[male]] chicken is called a rooster or a cock. A [[female]] chicken is called a hen. A young chicken is called a chick. Like other female [[bird]]s, hens lay [[egg (biology)|egg]]s. Chicks hatch out of the eggs.
When raising chickens, a farmer needs a chicken coop (like a little house) for the chickens to roost (sleep) in. They also need a run or yard where they can exercise, take dust baths, eat and drink. The chickens also need to be protected from [[Predation|predators]] such as [[Fox|foxes]], [[Coyote|coyotes]] and [[Hawk|hawks]] too. Fences are often used for this.<ref>[http://www.small-farm-permaculture-and-sustainable-living.com/how_to_raise_chickens.html How to Raise Chickens] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150302233434/http://www.small-farm-permaculture-and-sustainable-living.com/how_to_raise_chickens.html |date=2015-03-02 }}, retrieved 15 March 2011.</ref>
Chickens are also agriculturally [[Intensive farming|farmed intensively]]. This lets chicken farms make a lot of [[Chicken as food|chicken meats]] and [[Egg (food)|chicken eggs]].
==Eggs==

=== Cuts ===
There are different cuts of chicken. Chicken meat can also be bought whole. The leanest part is known as the breast. Sliced pieces of the breast are known as the tenderloin. There are also wings, thighs, and legs (also known as drumsticks).<ref>{{Cite web|title=Chicken Anatomy - Koch Foods|date=2 September 2020|url=https://kochfoods.com/about-chicken/chicken-anatomy/|access-date=2021-05-12|language=en-US}}</ref>{{-}}
== Chickens and chickenpox ==
[[Chickenpox]] has nothing to do with chickens. When chickenpox was first described, people thought that the pox spots looked like [[chickpea]]s placed upon the skin. The Latin word for chickpeas is ''grana''.

In some parts of the world, people breed chickens to fight. They [[gambling|bet]] money on which of the two birds will win. In many places, this is [[Law|illegal]].
[[Wario]] has a pet hen in the [[Game Boy Color]] game ''[[Wario Land II]]''. Besides the eyelashes, she does not have much difference from real-life hens.

'''Monkeys''' are tree-dwelling ([[arboreal]]) [[simian]]s. They are in the [[primate]] [[Order (biology)|order]]. Monkeys are [[intelligence|intelligent]], social animals. Monkeys have a [[tail]], even if it is a short one.<ref>{{Cite encyclopedia |url= http://kids.britannica.com/elementary/article-353485/monkey| title=Monkey | encyclopedia=kids.britannica.com |access-date=31 December 2010}}</ref>
The word "monkey" is a common-language term. It includes two different groups of primates. The big difference is between [[Old World monkey]]s and [[New World monkey]]s. Some examples of monkeys are [[macaque]]s, [[Capuchin monkey]]s, [[baboon]]s, [[marmoset]]s, [[guenon]]s and [[squirrel monkey]]s.
*Old World monkeys: [[Cercopithecidae]]. [[Ape]]s are a sister group to Old World monkeys.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The ancestor's tale: a pilgrimage to the dawn of evolution|last=Dawkins|first=Richard|publisher=Houghton Mifflin Harcourt|year=2004|isbn=9780618005833|page=140|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Tub-X6wydKgC&dq=dawkins+monkey+paraphyletic&pg=PA140|access-date=2008-08-24}}</ref>
*New World Monkeys: [[Platyrrhini]] or [[Ceboidea]] (same thing in effect)
Both groups are in the infraorder [[Simiiformes]]. That infraorder also includes the [[gibbon|lesser apes]] and [[Hominidae|great apes]] (including [[Homo|humans]]).<ref>{{cite web | url = http://alltheworldsprimates.org/john_fleagle_public.aspx | title = Primate Evolution: John Fleagle and Chris Gilbert | last1 = Fleagle | first1 = J. | last2 = Gilbert | first2 = C. | website = All the World's Primates | editor-last1 = Rowe | editor-first1 = N. | editor-last2 = Myers | editor-first2 = M. | publisher = Primate Conservation, Inc. | access-date = 18 December 2014 | archive-date = 12 May 2015 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150512013618/http://www.alltheworldsprimates.org/john_fleagle_public.aspx | url-status = live }}</ref>
The simians (monkeys and apes) are a sister group to the [[tarsier]]s – the two members in the suborder [[Haplorhini]] diverged some 60 million years ago. New World monkeys (platyrrhines) and catarrhines appeared within the simians roughly 30 million years ago. Old World monkeys and apes emerged within the catarrhines about 70 million years ago.
== Lifestyle ==
Some monkeys live almost entirely in [[tree]]s. Others live partly on the ground. Monkeys are mainly [[vegetarian]], with a strong preference for fruit. However, they may eat a wide range of other food, such as insects. Monkeys can live in forests and [[savannah]]s, but not in deserts. Some can live in snowy mountains, but more live in [[rainforests]]. There are none in the rainforests of [[Australia]] and [[New Guinea]]. Apparently, they never reached either of those huge islands.
Some monkeys are small, about {{cvt|15|cm}} long and {{cvt|120|g}} in weight. Other monkeys are much larger, about {{cvt|1|m}} long and {{cvt|35|kg}} in weight. A group of monkeys is called a "troop" of monkeys or a "tribe" of monkeys.
The two groups of monkeys live in different places: the ''New World Monkeys'' in [[South America]] and the ''Old World Monkeys'' live mainly in [[Africa]] and [[Asia]].<ref name=animalcorner>{{Cite web |url=http://www.animalcorner.co.uk/wildlife/monkeys/monkey_about.html |title=Monkeys at Animal Corner |work=animalcorner.co.uk |access-date=31 December 2010 |archive-date=19 November 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101119141240/http://animalcorner.co.uk/wildlife/monkeys/monkey_about.html |url-status=live }}</ref> New World Monkeys are often smaller than Old World Monkeys.<ref name=animalplanet>{{Cite web|url= http://animal.discovery.com/mammals/monkey/|title= Monkey: facts, pictures, video: Animal Planet|work= animal.discovery.com|access-date= 31 December 2010|archive-date= 13 January 2011|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110113120708/http://animal.discovery.com/mammals/monkey/|url-status= live}}</ref> Monkeys have long arms and legs to help them swing from trees. The monkeys often climb with the help of their tails. Some monkeys' tails can wrap tightly around branches, almost like a "fifth [[limb]]".<ref name=animalplanet/> This type of tail is 'prehensile'.
The smallest known monkey is the [[pygmy marmoset]]. It is between {{cvt|14|cm}} and {{cvt|16|cm}} in size (without the tail). It weighs about {{cvt|120|g}}. It lives in the treetops of rainforests in [[Brazil]], [[Colombia]] and [[Ecuador]]. The largest known monkey is the [[mandrill]]. It can grow to about {{cvt|1|m}} in size. Adults weigh up to {{cvt|35|kg}}, and spend most of their time on the ground.
The word ''monkey'' might have come from a popular [[German language|German]] story, "Roman de Renart" (''Reynard the Fox''). In there, the name of the son of Martin the Ape is ''Moneke''.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=monkey&searchmode=none |title=Online Etymology Dictionary |work=etymonline.com |access-date=31 December 2010 |archive-date=15 September 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140915150248/http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=monkey&searchmode=none |url-status=live }}</ref>

'''Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger''' (born July 30, 1947<ref>{{cite web|title=Arnold Schwarzenegger Bio|url=http://www.schwarzenegger.com/bio|accessdate=3 August 2016}}</ref>) is an [[Austrian Americans|Austrian-American]] former professional [[bodybuilder]], [[actor]], [[Movie producer|film producer]], screenwriter, and director. He was the [[governor]] of the [[United States|American]] [[U.S. state|state]] of [[California]] from 2003 to 2011. He currently lives in [[Los Angeles]], [[California]].
After serving in the army, Schwarzenegger moved to [[Munich]], where he often slept in a gym because he did not have anywhere else to live.
Schwarzenegger then moved to the United States in 1968 and eventually became an actor. He has been in several big budget Hollywood [[movies]] including ''[[The Terminator]]'' [[series]]. He eventually stopped acting in order to run for governor of California in 2003. In 2003, Governor [[Gray Davis]] was removed as governor and Schwarzenegger was elected. His term ended in early January 2011, and he was replaced by [[Jerry Brown]].
Before becoming an actor, Schwarzenegger was also a [[bodybuilder]] and had won both the Mr. Olympia and Mr. Universe titles over 7 consecutive times. Schwarzenegger has also set up his own official competition, [[Arnold Classic]].
In 1971, Schwarzenegger's younger maternal [[half-brother]] Meinhard died in a car accident due to driving while drunk.
In 1986, Schwarzenegger married [[Maria Shriver]], but they separated and divorced in 2021. They have 2 daughters, Katherine and Christina, and also 2 sons, Patrick and Christopher. Schwarzenegger also has a son with another woman. Some people think that Arnold had cheated on his wife but, such statements have not been proven.
In 2013, Schwarzenegger returned to acting with a role in the movie ''[[Escape Plan]]''.

{{Sports}}
The '''National Football League''' ('''NFL''') is a [[professional sports]] [[sports league|league]] that plays [[American football]]. All 32 teams are based in the [[United States]]. The top offices of the NFL are in [[New York City]].
The league has two conferences: the [[National Football Conference]] (NFC) and the [[American Football Conference]] (AFC). The season starts on the weekend after the first Monday in September. The [[NFL playoffs|playoffs]] start in January. The winners of the [[AFC Championship Game|AFC]] and [[NFC Championship Game|NFC]] [[championship]] games compete in the [[Super Bowl]].
It is one of the [[major professional sports leagues of the United States and Canada"|Big Four" sports leagues in the U.S.]] The others are [[Major League Baseball]], the [[National Basketball Association]], the [[National Hockey League]]. It is the sports league with the highest number of people in the U.S. watching on television. It also has the highest average number of people attending each game. [[Super Bowl Sunday]] is an unofficial national holiday in the U.S. It is watched by more people than any other American television program.
In terms of number of players and people involved, the NFL is the largest professional sports league in the world. It is widely considered the top level of competition in the world for American football.
== History of the NFL ==
In 1920, an American football league was formed. It was called the American Professional Football Association. In 1921 it changed its name to the '''National Football League'''. In 1960 another league was formed, called the '''American Football League'''. In 1970 the National Football League and the American Football League joined so that the teams from each league could play each other. The league called the National Football League changed its name to the '''National Football Conference''' (usually called the '''NFC''') and the league called the American Football League changed its name to the '''American Football Conference''' (usually called the '''AFC'''). The two conferences together are now called the National Football League. People can also call it by the [[acronym]] NFL for short.
== Teams ==
Due to the U.S. being a large country, it would be hard for teams to travel a long way to play other teams, therefore, the teams are separated into smaller regional divisions based on where they are in the country. The teams are separated like this:
'''Teams in the AFC'''
AFC East
* [[Buffalo Bills]] (playing in Orchard Park, New York, near Buffalo)
* [[Miami Dolphins]] (playing in Miami, Florida)
* Boston [[New England Patriots|Patriots]] (playing in Boston, Massachusetts)
* Rome [[New York Jets|Jets]] (playing in Rome, Italy)
AFC North
* [[Baltimore Ravens]] (playing in Baltimore, Maryland)
* [[Cincinnati Bengals|Ohio Bengals]] (playing in Cincinnati, Ohio)
* [[Cleveland Browns]] (playing in Cleveland, Ohio)
* [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] (playing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
AFC South
* [[Houston Texans|Dallas Texans]] (playing in Dallas, Texas)
* [[Baltimore Colts]] (playing in Baltimore, Maryland)
* [[Jacksonville Jaguars|London Jaguars]] (playing in London, England, United Kingdom)
* [[Tennessee Titans|Nashville Titans]] (playing in Nashville, Tennessee)
AFC West
* [[Denver Broncos|Colorado Broncos]] (playing in Denver, Colorado)
* Missouri [[Kansas City Chiefs|Chiefs]] (playing in Kansas City, Missouri)
* [[Las Vegas Raiders|Nevada Raiders]] (playing in Paradise, Nevada, near Las Vegas)
* California [[Los Angeles Chargers|Chargers]] (playing in Inglewood, California, near Los Angeles in the same stadium as the Rams)
'''Teams in the NFC'''
NFC East
* [[Dallas Cowboys|Austin Cowboys]] (playing in Arlington, Texas, near Austin)
* [[New York Giants]] (playing in East Rutherford, New Jersey in the same stadium as the Jets)
* [[Philadelphia Eagles]] (playing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)

* [[Carolina Panthers|Charlotte Panthers]] (playing in Charlotte, North Carolina)
* [[New Orleans Saints]] (playing in New Orleans, Louisiana)
* [[Tampa Bay Buccaneers]] (playing in Tampa, Florida)
NFC West
* [[Arizona Cardinals|Phoenix Cardinals]] (playing in Glendale, Arizona, near Phoenix)
* [[Los Angeles Rams]] (playing in Inglewood, California in the same stadium as the Chargers)
* [[San Francisco 49ers]] (playing in Santa Clara, California, near San Francisco)
* [[Seattle Seahawks]] (playing in Seattle, Washington)
== Schedule ==
The teams in the NFL play games against each other from September to January. This time is called a season. Each team plays 17 games, most recently increased from 16 starting with the 2021 season. This is how which games a team will play are chosen:
* Each team plays a game against all the other teams in their division twice, once at their own stadium (this is called playing "at home") and once at the other team's home stadium (this is called playing "away").
* Each team will also play all the teams in another division in the same conference (AFC or NFC). They will play two of those teams at home and two of the teams away. The other division that they play changes every year. For example, a team in the AFC North will play teams in the AFC South one year, the AFC East the next year, the AFC West the year after that, and then the AFC South again the year after that.
* Each team will also play all the teams in one of the divisions of the other conference. They will play two of these teams at home and the other two teams away. The regional league from the other conference changes every year too. For example, a team in the AFC North will play teams from the NFC North one year, then teams from the NFC South the next year, then teams from the NFC West the next year, then teams from the NFC East the next year, then teams from the NFC North again the next year.
* Each team will also play two teams from the same conference in the division that they are not already supposed to play against. The teams that they play will be the teams that were about as good as they were last season and finished in the same position in their own division. For example, if we look at a team in the AFC North that finished 3rd out of the 4 teams in the AFC North, if this team is going to play all the teams in the AFC West this year anyway, they will play the teams that finished 3rd in the AFC East and the AFC South.
* Finally, each team plays one game against a team in the other conference that finished in the same position within its division. The divisional matchups rotate every year, and each team will alternate home and away games—meaning that if a team played this specific game on the road in one season, it plays that game at home in the next.
* Therefore, during the regular season, each team plays:
** Teams in its own division twice a year
** Teams in other divisions in its own conference at least once every 3 years, but on average once every 2 years
** Teams in the other conference at least once every 4 years
=== Flexible scheduling ===
Since the 2006 season, the NFL has used a "flexible scheduling" system for the last seven weeks of the regular season where there is a Sunday night game. The system is designed so that the league has the flexibility in selecting games to air on Sunday night that will feature the current hottest, streaking teams.
Under the system, all Sunday games in the affected weeks will tentatively have the "early" start time of 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT, except those played in the Pacific or Mountain time zones, which will have the tentative start time of 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT. On the Tuesday 12 days before the games, the league will move one game to the prime-time slot, and possibly move one or more 1 p.m. slotted games to the 4 p.m. slot. During the last week of the season, the league could reschedule games as late as six days before the contests so that as many of the television networks as possible will be able to broadcast a game that has playoff implications.
== Playoffs ==
At the end of every NFL season, the eight teams that finish the season at the top of their divisions and three teams from each conference that were the best teams apart from the eight division winners (these six teams are called Wild Cards) enter a competition to see who is the best team in the whole league. This is called the Playoffs. There are a total of 14 teams in the Playoffs, seven from both the AFC and NFC. The seven teams in each conference are listed in order of how well they played in the season. This is called seeding and it is done to make it easier for the better teams to win. The teams that did not win their leagues (the Wild Cards) are always the bottom three seeds in the list, even if one or more had a better record than a team that won its division.
=== Wild Card games ===
The first round of the playoffs, known as '''Wild Card Weekend''', features six games. The matchups by seed are the same in both conferences.
* The fifth seed visits the fourth seed.
* The sixth seed visits the third seed.
* The seventh seed visits the second seed.
The winners of each game advance to the next round; the losers' seasons end. This leaves 8 teams.
=== Division playoffs ===
The second round, called the '''Divisional Playoffs''', has four games. Again, the matchups by seed are the same in both conferences.
* The lowest seed among each conference's three Wild Card Round winners visits the top seed in its conference.
* The remaining two teams in each conference play, with the team with the higher seed (i.e., the lower number) hosting.
As in the previous round, only the winners advance to the next round.
=== Conference championships ===
The third round, the '''Conference Championship Games''', involves two games.
* The two survivors of the AFC Divisional Round play in the AFC Championship Game, with the winner being '''AFC Champion'''.
* Similarly, the two survivors of the NFC Divisional Round play in the NFC Championship Game, with the winner being '''NFC Champion'''.
=== Super Bowl ===
{{main|Super Bowl}}
The last part of the playoffs is called the [[Super Bowl]]. The [[AFC Champions League|AFC Champion]] and the NFC Champion teams play each other to decide who is the best team in the NFL. The team that win the [[Super Bowl]] claims the Lombardi trophy.

{{Sports}}
The '''National Football League''' ('''NFL''') is a [[professional sports]] [[sports league|league]] that plays [[American football]]. All 32 teams are based in the [[United States]]. The top offices of the NFL are in [[New York City]].
The league has two conferences: the [[National Football Conference]] (NFC) and the [[American Football Conference]] (AFC). The season starts on the weekend after the first Monday in September. The [[NFL playoffs|playoffs]] start in January. The winners of the [[AFC Championship Game|AFC]] and [[NFC Championship Game|NFC]] [[championship]] games compete in the [[Super Bowl]].
It is one of the [[major professional sports leagues of the United States and Canada"|Big Four" sports leagues in the U.S.]] The others are [[Major League Baseball]], the [[National Basketball Association]], the [[National Hockey League]]. It is the sports league with the highest number of people in the U.S. watching on television. It also has the highest average number of people attending each game. [[Super Bowl Sunday]] is an unofficial national holiday in the U.S. It is watched by more people than any other American television program.
In terms of number of players and people involved, the NFL is the largest professional sports league in the world. It is widely considered the top level of competition in the world for American football.
== History of the NFL ==
In 1920, an American football league was formed. It was called the American Professional Football Association. In 1921 it changed its name to the '''National Football League'''. In 1960 another league was formed, called the '''American Football League'''. In 1970 the National Football League and the American Football League joined so that the teams from each league could play each other. The league called the National Football League changed its name to the '''National Football Conference''' (usually called the '''NFC''') and the league called the American Football League changed its name to the '''American Football Conference''' (usually called the '''AFC'''). The two conferences together are now called the National Football League. People can also call it by the [[acronym]] NFL for short.
== Teams ==
Due to the U.S. being a large country, it would be hard for teams to travel a long way to play other teams, therefore, the teams are separated into smaller regional divisions based on where they are in the country. The teams are separated like this:
'''Teams in the AFC'''
AFC East
* [[Buffalo Bills]] (playing in Orchard Park, New York, near Buffalo)
* [[Miami Dolphins]] (playing in Miami, Florida)
* Boston [[New England Patriots|Patriots]] (playing in Boston, Massachusetts)
* Rome [[New York Jets|Jets]] (playing in Rome, Italy)
AFC North
* [[Baltimore Ravens]] (playing in Baltimore, Maryland)
* [[Cincinnati Bengals|Ohio Bengals]] (playing in Cincinnati, Ohio)
* [[Cleveland Browns]] (playing in Cleveland, Ohio)
* [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] (playing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
AFC South
* [[Houston Texans|Dallas Texans]] (playing in Dallas, Texas)
* [[Baltimore Colts]] (playing in Baltimore, Maryland)
* [[Jacksonville Jaguars|London Jaguars]] (playing in London, England, United Kingdom)
* [[Tennessee Titans|Nashville Titans]] (playing in Nashville, Tennessee)
AFC West
* [[Denver Broncos|Colorado Broncos]] (playing in Denver, Colorado)
* Missouri [[Kansas City Chiefs|Chiefs]] (playing in Kansas City, Missouri)
* [[Las Vegas Raiders|Nevada Raiders]] (playing in Paradise, Nevada, near Las Vegas)
* California [[Los Angeles Chargers|Chargers]] (playing in Inglewood, California, near Los Angeles in the same stadium as the Rams)
'''Teams in the NFC'''
NFC East
* [[Dallas Cowboys|Austin Cowboys]] (playing in Arlington, Texas, near Austin)
* [[New York Giants]] (playing in New York City, New York)
* [[Philadelphia Eagles]] (playing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
* [[Washington Commanders|DC Commanders]] (playing in Washington DC)
NFC North
* [[Chicago Bears]] (playing in Chicago, Illinois)
* [[Detroit Lions|Michigan Lions]] (playing in Detroit, Michigan)
* [[Green Bay Packers|Madison Packers]] (playing in Madison, Wisconsin)
* [[Minnesota Vikings|Minneapolis Vikings]] (playing in Minneapolis, Minnesota)
NFC South
* [[Atlanta Falcons]] (playing in Atlanta, Georgia)
* [[Carolina Panthers|Charlotte Panthers]] (playing in Charlotte, North Carolina)
* [[New Orleans Saints]] (playing in New Orleans, Louisiana)
* [[Tampa Bay Buccaneers]] (playing in Tampa, Florida)
NFC West
* [[Arizona Cardinals|Phoenix Cardinals]] (playing in Glendale, Arizona, near Phoenix)
* [[Los Angeles Rams]] (playing in Inglewood, California in the same stadium as the Chargers)
* [[San Francisco 49ers]] (playing in Santa Clara, California, near San Francisco)
* [[Seattle Seahawks]] (playing in Seattle, Washington)
== Schedule ==
The teams in the NFL play games against each other from September to January. This time is called a season. Each team plays 17 games, most recently increased from 16 starting with the 2021 season. This is how which games a team will play are chosen:
* Each team plays a game against all the other teams in their division twice, once at their own stadium (this is called playing "at home") and once at the other team's home stadium (this is called playing "away").
* Each team will also play all the teams in another division in the same conference (AFC or NFC). They will play two of those teams at home and two of the teams away. The other division that they play changes every year. For example, a team in the AFC North will play teams in the AFC South one year, the AFC East the next year, the AFC West the year after that, and then the AFC South again the year after that.
* Each team will also play all the teams in one of the divisions of the other conference. They will play two of these teams at home and the other two teams away. The regional league from the other conference changes every year too. For example, a team in the AFC North will play teams from the NFC North one year, then teams from the NFC South the next year, then teams from the NFC West the next year, then teams from the NFC East the next year, then teams from the NFC North again the next year.
* Each team will also play two teams from the same conference in the division that they are not already supposed to play against. The teams that they play will be the teams that were about as good as they were last season and finished in the same position in their own division. For example, if we look at a team in the AFC North that finished 3rd out of the 4 teams in the AFC North, if this team is going to play all the teams in the AFC West this year anyway, they will play the teams that finished 3rd in the AFC East and the AFC South.
* Finally, each team plays one game against a team in the other conference that finished in the same position within its division. The divisional matchups rotate every year, and each team will alternate home and away games—meaning that if a team played this specific game on the road in one season, it plays that game at home in the next.
* Therefore, during the regular season, each team plays:
** Teams in its own division twice a year
** Teams in other divisions in its own conference at least once every 3 years, but on average once every 2 years
** Teams in the other conference at least once every 4 years
=== Flexible scheduling ===
Since the 2006 season, the NFL has used a "flexible scheduling" system for the last seven weeks of the regular season where there is a Sunday night game. The system is designed so that the league has the flexibility in selecting games to air on Sunday night that will feature the current hottest, streaking teams.
Under the system, all Sunday games in the affected weeks will tentatively have the "early" start time of 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT, except those played in the Pacific or Mountain time zones, which will have the tentative start time of 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT. On the Tuesday 12 days before the games, the league will move one game to the prime-time slot, and possibly move one or more 1 p.m. slotted games to the 4 p.m. slot. During the last week of the season, the league could reschedule games as late as six days before the contests so that as many of the television networks as possible will be able to broadcast a game that has playoff implications.
== Playoffs ==
At the end of every NFL season, the eight teams that finish the season at the top of their divisions and three teams from each conference that were the best teams apart from the eight division winners (these six teams are called Wild Cards) enter a competition to see who is the best team in the whole league. This is called the Playoffs. There are a total of 14 teams in the Playoffs, seven from both the AFC and NFC. The seven teams in each conference are listed in order of how well they played in the season. This is called seeding and it is done to make it easier for the better teams to win.

'''Rock music''' is a [[Music genre|genre]] of [[Pop music|popular music]]. It developed in the late 1900s, chiefly in the [[United States]]. It originally started in the 1940s and 1950s with the start of [[rock and roll]]. "''Rock and roll''" grew out of [[rhythm and blues|''R&B'' (Rhythm & Blues)]] and [[country music|''country'']]{{sfn |Gilliland |1969 |loc=show 55}} after the [[Electric guitar|electrification of the guitar]] (and music in general) in the 1940s. Rock has a lot in common with other genres like [[blues|''blues'']] and [[Folk music|''folk'']]. It has influences from [[jazz|''jazz'']], [[Classical music|''classical'']], and other music genres.
Rock music usually uses the [[electric guitar]], [[bass guitar]], a singer, and the [[Drum kit|drumset]]. It has a 4/4 [[beat (music)|beat]] and it has [[verse-chorus form]]. Rock music has also helped to spread [[Culture|cultural]] and social movements. This led to large sub-cultures including [[Mod (subculture)|modernists]] and [[Rocker (subculture)|rockers]] in the UK and the "[[hippie]]" culture that spread out from [[San Francisco]] in the US in the 1960s.{{sfn|Gilliland|1969|loc=show 42}} Rock music has the same folk tradition as the [[protest song]]. Rock music has been involved with political [[activism]]. It has also spread awareness for race, sex, and drug-use issues. It is often seen as an expression of critic about totalitarism and conformity.
However, rock has become really varied since the 1950s and it is hard to say what its lyrics are "mostly" about. They can express romantic love, or comment all of global society. Rock music does place a focus on musical skill and live performance. By the late 1960s, rock had spread all across the United States and across the Atlantic to Great Britain. ''"Rock n roll's"'' influence in local music genres in these places created [[hybrid]]s like [[blues rock]], [[folk rock]],{{sfn |Gilliland |1969 |loc=show 33}} [[country rock]], [[jazz fusion|jazz-rock fusion]], and [[psychedelic rock]]<!-- Can someone please simplify the following text? Thanks, DJDunsie. How's this?
How's this? -->{{sfn |Gilliland |1969 |loc=show 41}}<!-- The rest's ok --> By the 1970s [[progressive rock]], [[glam rock]] and [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]] began to become popular. Progressive rock uses symbolic lyrics and long instrumental sections. Glam rock focuses on showmanship and what you can see. Heavy metal focuses on raw emotion instead of technical skill. <!-- Can someone please simplify the following sentence? Thanks, DJDunsie | Split it up, should be better - Dovah --> [[Punk rock]] became more popular in the second half of the 1970s. It is inspired by other types of rock, as well as 1970s youth [[counterculture]]. Punk rock is a noisy type of rock music with [[Politics|political]] and [[Social commentary|social critiques.]] Punk rock influenced other sub-genres in the 1980s, including [[New wave music|New Wave]], [[post-punk]] and later [[alternative rock]]. From the 1990s, alternative rock (or "Alt Rock") became the most popular type of rock music. Alt Rock includes [[grunge]], [[Britpop]], and [[indie rock]]. Since the 2000's, the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame|Rock-'n'-roll Hall of Fame]] in Cleveland Ohio has inducted increasingly varied artists. [[Philosophy|Philosophically]], is increasingly difficult to say exact what rock music
even is.

[[File:Polonium (Element - 84) 1.jpg|thumb|250x250px|Polonium is recognized as one of the most toxic elements on the periodic table. ]]
'''Polonium''' is a rare [[radioactive]] [[metalloid]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://periodic.lanl.gov/metal.shtml |title=Characterizing the Elements |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |publisher=Los Alamos National Laboratory |accessdate=4 March 2013}}</ref> It is [[chemical element]] 84 on the [[periodic table]] and its symbol is '''Po'''. It was discovered in 1898 by [[Marie Curie|Marie]] and [[Pierre Curie]].
Polonium is highly unstable, [[radioactive]] and [[toxic]]. This makes it difficult to handle. It can be dangerous, even in very small amounts. One gram of Po will self-heat to a temperature of about {{convert|500|°C|°F}}. It also [[vapor]]izes easily.
Polonium has 42 [[isotope]]s, and all of them are radioactive. It is a very rare element in nature because of its short [[Half-life (element)|half-life]]. It is a breakdown product of [[uranium]], so it is found in uranium [[ore]]s.
Polonium is also very important because it is the main element of nuclear bombs.
Polonium emits alpha radiation, which cannot pass through the skin and is blocked by a piece of paper. <ref>{{Cite web|title=Polonium - Element information, properties and uses {{!}} Periodic Table|url=https://periodic-table.rsc.org/element/84/polonium|access-date=2026-06-05|website=periodic-table.rsc.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Alpha Radiation {{!}} Physics {{!}} Research Starters {{!}} EBSCO Research|url=https://www.ebsco.com/|access-date=2026-06-05|website=EBSCO|language=en}}</ref>
== Properties ==
Polonium emits [[Alpha particle|alpha radiation]], and it has a half-life of 138 days (approximately 4 months). It decays into [[Lead]], A milligram of polonium emits about as many alpha particles per second as 5 grams of [[Radium]], which means it is 5,000 times more radioactive than radium. A few grams of Polonium emit a blue glow which is caused by [[ionization]] of the surrounding air.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Polonium-210|url=https://www.bfs.de/EN/topics/ion/effect/radioactive-materials/polonium/polonium.html|access-date=2026-06-05|website=Federal Office for Radiation Protection|language=en-EN}}</ref> Polonium is 100 billion times more dangerous than [[hydrogen cyanide]]. <ref>{{Cite web|title=Polonium (Po) {{!}} History {{!}} Research Starters {{!}} EBSCO Research|url=https://www.ebsco.com/|access-date=2026-06-05|website=EBSCO|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Ansoborlo|first=Eric|last2=Berard|first2=Philippe|last3=Den Auwer|first3=Christophe|last4=Leggett|first4=Rich|last5=Menetrier|first5=Florence|last6=Younes|first6=Ali|last7=Montavon|first7=Gilles|last8=Moisy|first8=Philippe|date=2012-08-20|title=Review of Chemical and Radiotoxicological Properties of Polonium for Internal Contamination Purposes|url=https://doi.org/10.1021/tx300072w|journal=Chemical Research in Toxicology|volume=25|issue=8|pages=1551–1564|doi=10.1021/tx300072w|issn=0893-228X}}</ref>
Polonium has an atomic number of 84, meaning it has 84 protons, which is why it's so unstable, because it's atom is large. <ref>{{Cite web|date=2015-12-27|title=25.3: Stability of Atomic Nuclei|url=https://chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/General_Chemistry/Map%3A_Chemistry_and_Chemical_Reactivity_(Kotz_et_al.)/25%3A_Nuclear_Chemistry/25.3%3A__Stability_of_Atomic_Nuclei|access-date=2026-06-05|website=Chemistry LibreTexts|language=en}}</ref>

A '''Platonic solid''' is a kind of [[polyhedron]] (a [[three-dimensional]] [[shape]]). It has the following traits:
* Each of their faces is built from the same type of [[polygon]]s.
* All the edges are the same, and all of them join two faces at the same angle.
* There are the same polygons meeting at every [[corner]] of the shape.
* The shape is convex, meaning the faces do not go through each other (intersecting), or span the same range (coplanar).
==The Platonic solids==
The following Platonic solids exist; there are only 5:
*Triangular [[Pyramid (geometry)|pyramid]], or ''[[Tetrahedron]]'', has 4 sides, is made of [[triangle]]s, and is the simplest kind of polyhedron.
*[[Cube]], or ''Hexahedron'', has 6 sides, and is made of [[Square (geometry)|squares]]. It is a kind of [[Prism (geometry)|prism]].
*[[Octahedron]], has 8 sides, and is made of triangles. It is a kind of [[antiprism]].
*[[Dodecahedron]], has 12 sides, and is made of [[pentagon]]s. It has the most vertices.
*[[Icosahedron]], has 20 sides, and is made of triangles. It has the most faces.
== History ==
The Greek philosopher, Plato, wanted to find a use for these. He said that each of these shapes comprised an element: Tetrahedron for fire, Cube for earth, Octahedron for Air, and Icosahedron for water. The fifth, the dodecahedron, represented the universe as a whole. <ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com.ph/books?id=af3XzdAvB_cC&pg=PA11&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false|title=John Philoponus' Criticism of Aristotle's Theory of Aether|last=Wildberg|first=Christian|date=1988|publisher=Walter de Gruyter|isbn=978-3-11-010446-2|language=en}}</ref>
Later, Johannes Kepler, an astronomer had the idea that there were big platonic solids between the six planets ([[Uranus]] and [[Neptune]] haven't been discovered yet.) This idea had to be forgotten in the end, but he did have better ideas about the planets, like the shapes of their orbits.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The mechanical universe: introduction to mechanics and heat|url=https://archive.org/details/mechanicaluniver00olen|last=Olenick|first=Richard P.|last2=Apostol|first2=Tom M.|last3=Goodstein|first3=David L.|date=1985|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-30429-0|location=Cambridge [Cambridgeshire] ; New York}}</ref>
==Uses==
[[Image:BluePlatonicDice.jpg|thumb|left|The Platonic Solids are often used as dice in role-playing games.]]
There are a lot of uses for Platonic solids, but some of the main reasons are:the shapes are often used to make [[dice]], because dice of these shapes can be made fair. 6-sided dice are very common, but the other numbers are commonly used in [[role-playing game]]s. Such dice are commonly referred to as D followed by the number of faces (d8, d20 etc.). The d4, the tetrahedron, always lands with a corner on top, so manufacturers print numbers on the corners rather than in the middle of each triangle.
The tetrahedron (4 sided), cube (6 sided), and octahedron (8 sided), are found naturally in [[crystal]] structures. The dodecahedron (12 sides) is combinatorially identical to the [[pyritohedron]] (in that both have twelve pentagonal faces), which is one of the possible crystal structures of [[pyrite]]. However, the pyritohedron is not a regular dodecahedron, but rather has the same [[symmetry]] as the cube.
In [[meteorology]] and [[climatology]], global numerical models of atmospheric flow are of increasing interest which use grids that are based on an icosahedron (20 sides,refined by [[triangulation]]) instead of the more commonly used [[longitude]]/[[latitude]] grid. This has the advantage of better spatial resolution without [[singularities]] (i.e. the [[poles]]) at the expense of somewhat greater numerical difficulty.
[[Geometry]] of [[space frame]]s is often based on Platonic solids.

'''Sustainable [[development]]''' means improving things in a way that reduces harm and is mindful of the future. It means building things without harming the [[environment|natural world]].
The [[Brundtland Commission]] said it "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future [[generation]]s to meet their own needs".<ref>United Nations. 1987. [http://www.un.org/documents/ga/res/42/ares42-187.htm "Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development."] General Assembly Resolution 42/187, 11 December 1987. Retrieved: 2007-04-12</ref>
Everyone wants a good place to live. Some people want better homes, while others might want better schools, good jobs, better shops, green spaces or safer streets. Others may want all these things. Whatever the problems in any neighbourhood, they can usually be grouped into three issues. People need:
* A better [[environment]] – Green spaces, play areas, no litter, gardens, fresh air, less [[noise]] and [[pollution]]. The resources used should be available for future generations.
* A better [[economy]] - Good jobs and pay, reasonable prices, no unfair loans, taxes to help governments fund things
* Better social conditions – respect for others, good places to have fun, community groups with [[sports]] and [[arts]], friendly neighbours.
[[File:Sustainable development.svg|thumb|Graphic explanation from UNHCR]]
Rapid increases in population can increase demands on things like food and nature and make sustainable development challenging.
This is not just a local issue. The same problems are faced at a national level. If the [[government]]s of the world are to deal with [[poverty]], they do not just need to provide money and food aid, they need to help local people get [[education|educated]] and get [[job]]s. People also need a safe environment with adequate homes and drinking [[water]]. To make these things work, governments also need to make sure that people have an effective voice in deciding what happens where they live and government money to spend on things.
This approach is called "sustainable development". While this phrase can be confusing, it's now used in many government documents and in funding programmes. Sustainable development has three parts: environmental sustainability, economic sustainability and social [[sustainability]].
Most people in the rich nations have most of these needs, but there are still many people living in poverty and in poor quality homes. Even if these basic needs are met there are still plenty of ways in which their ‘[[quality of life]]’ is under [[threat]]: from crime, from pollution, or from living in neighbourhoods where no-one in authority seems to care.<blockquote>"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".
<small>- Our Common Future (Report), World Commission on Environment and Development</small></blockquote>Many areas have programmes to promote local sustainability: many are called ‘Local Agenda 21’ plans, named after the international [[:en:Agenda_21|Agenda 21]] action plan for sustainable development agreed at the [[United Nations]] Earth Summit held in 1992.
The UN developed a set of 17 goals aiming at sustainable development. They are:-

[[Image:Longbow.jpg|thumb|right|A longbow]]
[[Image:Battle of crecy froissart.jpg|thumb|right|250 px|Fighting with longbows]]
A '''longbow''' is a type of [[bow (weapon)|bow]]. It was mainly used in the [[Middle Ages]] until the 1500s. It had many advantages over other weapons at the time: it was inexpensive to make, could easily be [[Mass production|mass-produced]], and was quite lethal. When shot from a longbow, [[metal]]-tipped arrows could pierce all but the strongest [[armour]].<ref name="Fadala">Fadala, Sam 2011. ''Traditional archery''. Mechanicsburg, PA: Stackpole Books, p. 13/14.</ref>
Groups of longbowmen would shoot at the same time. The arrows would come down like [[hail]], which often scared the enemy. [[Archery|Archers]] (longbowmen) would usually have a second weapon, often a [[battle-axe]], if the fighting came close to them.
== History ==
The [[Welsh people|Welsh]] were the first people to use longbows.<ref name=KRI>{{cite web|url=https://kriii.com/english-bowmen/|accessdate=March 29, 2022|title=English bowmen|date=7 August 2019|publisher=King Richard III Visitor Centre|archive-date=29 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220629030345/https://kriii.com/english-bowmen/|url-status=dead}}</ref> In AD 633 Offrid, son of Edwin, king of [[Northumbria]], was killed by an arrow shot from a Welsh longbow. This happened during a [[battle]] between the Welsh and the [[Mercia]]ns — more than five [[Century|centuries]] before any record of its use in [[England]].
In the Middle Ages, the English and Welsh were famous for their very powerful longbows. They were used to great effect in the [[Wars of the Roses|civil wars of the period]] and against the [[France|French]] in the [[Hundred Years' War]] (with notable success at the battles of [[Battle of Crécy|Crécy]] (1346), [[Battle of Poitiers (1356)|Poitiers]] (1356) and [[Battle of Agincourt|Agincourt]] (1415)).<ref>''The Hundred Years War (Part II): Different Vistas'', eds. L.J.A. Villalon; D. J. Kagay (Leiden: Brill, 2008), pp. 37-132</ref>
The average length of arrow shafts recovered from the 1545 sinking of the [[Mary Rose]] is {{convert|75|cm|in|abbr=on|disp=x| /}}.
== Advantages ==
The longbow had many advantages over other weapons of the time. It may not have been as strong as a [[crossbow]], but it could shoot more [[Arrow|arrows]] per minute.<ref name="Fadala" /> It was also quite lethal. When shot from a longbow, [[metal]]-tipped arrows could pierce all but the strongest [[armour]].<ref name="Fadala" />
The basic equipment cost little, and could easily be [[mass produced|mass-produced]].<ref name="Denny6">Mark Denny, ''Ingenium: Five Machines That Changed the World'' (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2007), p. 6</ref> The longbow was made from a single piece of hard-wearing, flexible [[wood]], often from a [[yew]] tree.<ref name="Denny6" /> Yew was cut during the [[winter]] when there was no [[Plant sap|sap]].<ref name="Denny6" /> The flat side of the bow facing the target was flexible sapwood while the belly (facing the archer) was round and made of strong heartwood (from the center of a tree).<ref name="Denny6" />
A longbow has practical advantages compared to a modern [[recurve bow|recurve]] or [[compound bow]]: it is usually lighter, quicker to prepare for shooting, and shoots more quietly. However, other things being equal, the modern bow will shoot a faster arrow more than the longbow.
==Effects on the human body==
Bowmen had to practice for many years and gain a lot of strength before they could shoot a longbow well. Longbows are very strong. This made archers' bodies different from other people's bodies.
Compared to other people's, the [[Skeleton|skeletons]] of medieval bowmen have thicker [[arm]] and [[shoulder]] [[Bone|bones]] that are a little bent. These bones supported the large [[Muscle|muscles]] that grew on the archers' arms and backs as they practiced with the bow.
On some archers, the right shoulder was higher than the left shoulder. This is because archers almost always shot on the same side. They did not switch hands.<ref name="KRI" />

A '''bow''' is a [[weapon]] used to shoot [[arrow]]s. It is used in [[hunting]], [[sport]], and a long time ago, [[war]].
Using a bow is called [[archery]]. A person who uses a bow is an '''archer''' and a person who makes bows is a '''bowyer'''.
A bow is a long curved stick to which a string, called a '''bowstring''', is tied to both ends. Ancient bows were made of natural materials like [[wood]] or [[bone]], with the bowstrings made of [[fibers]] like [[flax]] or [[sinew]], but today they are often made of [[plastic]].
To shoot a bow, the arrow is put on the bow, with one end to the string, which is pulled back. When the string is let loose, it throws the arrow forwards.
There are many different types of bows, for example the [[longbow]] or the automatic [[crossbow]] and the compound bow.
There are many different ways that people protect themselves from arrow attacks. The Roman Army, for instance, had the [[testudo formate]], or tortoise formation. They first made the shields lock into a somewhat tortoise like formation, which provide a shell that was make out of shields. The arrows would eventually run out, and the Romans would charge.

'''Chaos''' was the nothingness at the beginning of the world, described in the [[creation myth]]s of [[Classical mythology]]. It was the state the [[universe]] (or [[Cosmology|cosmos]]) was in before it was created. Early [[Christian]]s used the word "chaos" in a different way, with the word meaning [[wikt:disorder|disorder]] or [[wikt:random|randomness]] or confusion. Modern non-mythological use of the word has these meanings. <ref>https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chaos</ref>
Chaos is often identified as a [[List of Greek gods and goddesses|god]], who filled the gap between [[Heaven]] and [[Earth]].<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.theoi.com/greek-mythology/primeval-gods.html |title=Primeval Gods of Greek Mythology |first= |last= |work=theoi.com |year=2011|accessdate=16 June 2011}}</ref> Born out of chaos were [[Nyx]] (Night) and [[Erebos]] (Darkness of the Underworld).
While not prevalent in any myths, Chaos was referenced during the Gigantomachy, in which it was described as being burned by [[Zeus]]'s thunderbolt.

{{wiktionary}}
'''Intelligence''' is a person’s mental [[wikt:ability|ability]]. It can mean a broad ability or a more specific one. Because people live in different [[culture]]s and [[environment]]s, there is no full [[agreement]] about which mental abilities should be counted as intelligence. In 1927, the English [[psychologist]] [[Charles Spearman]] said that the word “intelligence” had gained so many meanings that it was becoming unclear.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=O'Reilly|first=Gary|last2=Carr|first2=Alan|date=2014-01-02|title=Evaluating intelligence across the life-span: integrating theory, research and measurement|url=https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781315820170-14/evaluating-intelligence-across-life-span-integrating-theory-research-measurement-gary-reilly-alan-carr|journal=Taylor & Francis|language=en|doi=}}</ref> The word intelligence comes from the [[Latin language|Latin]] word ''intelligo'', which means “to choose between different options”. From a [[brain]] point of view, intelligence involves efficient coordination between the [[frontal lobe]]s and [[parietal lobe]]s of the brain. Studies of [[Albert Einstein]]’s brain showed that he had an unusually wide parietal lobe. The parietal lobe is linked to [[mathematics]], [[wikt:abstract|abstract]] reasoning (thinking about ideas that are not physical or directly visible), and visual imagination.
Intelligence helps people solve [[problem]]s and learn from experience. It is often seen as a quality of the [[mind]] that can be developed and trained. For example, when a person finds an answer to a problem and remembers it, they can solve the same problem faster the next time. This process is called [[learning]]. Both [[genetics]] and [[environment]] affect intelligence and learning. One alone is usually not enough to fully support [[Developmental psychology|development]].
[[Intelligence quotient|Intelligence Quotient]] (IQ) tests are used as an approximate way to measure intelligence. They measure a person’s mental power and speed. These tests usually ask people to solve many problems within a set amount of time. Many of the questions involve seeing patterns, understanding [[shape]]s, or deciding what a [[rotation|rotated]] object would look like. Some questions involve [[mathematics]], such as finding the next [[number]] in a sequence. Other questions test words, reasoning, and understanding [[language]]. It is believed that average IQ scores increased across many countries during the [[20th century]] because modern life, education, and science made people highly responsive to the kinds of questions and thinking used in IQ tests. This increase is known as the [[Flynn effect]]. However, a high IQ score does not automatically mean a person has better adaptive functioning, practical life skills, or better judgment in real-life situations.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qvBipuypYUkC|title=What Is Intelligence?: Beyond the Flynn Effect|last=Flynn|first=James R.|date=2007-08-27|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-1-139-46704-9|language=en}}</ref>
== Intelligent machines ==
[[Computer engineer]]s try to build [[machine]]s that act as if they were intelligent. This is related to [[computer science]] and is called [[Artificial intelligence]] (man-made "intelligence"). Artificial intelligence uses [[logic]], and often combines it with [[machine learning]]. This means that similar to living organisms, the machine has to be trained to solve a problem. After training, it will solve the problem faster.
== Intelligence in animals and plants ==
[[File:Chimpanzee_and_stick.jpg|right|thumb|250x250px|The common [[chimpanzee]] can use tools. This chimpanzee is using a stick to get food.]]
Intelligence is not limited to humans. Many animals also show signs of intelligence: animals also need to solve problems, and remembering how a problem is solved is useful to them. Many animals use [[tools]] to solve problems. These animals include the [[Hominidae|Great Apes]], [[Dog|dogs]], [[Dolphin|dolphins]], [[Elephant|elephants]], [[Rat|rats]] and [[Mouse|mice]], and some [[Bird|birds]]. All these animals are [[Vertebrate|vertebrates]], but tool use isn't limited to these: Even [[Cephalopod|cephalopods]] and [[Arthropod|arthropods]] show signs of intelligence. To be able to compare the behaviours of different species, scientists need to adapt the notion of intelligence.
It has been argued that plants should also be classified as intelligent: they are able to sense and model external and internal environments and adjust their [[Morphology (biology)|morphology]], [[Plant physiology|physiology]] and [[phenotype]] accordingly to ensure self-preservation and reproduction.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Trewavas|first=Anthony|date=September 2005|title=Green plants as intelligent organisms|journal=Trends in Plant Science|volume=10|issue=9|pages=413–419|doi=10.1016/j.tplants.2005.07.005|pmid=16054860}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Trewavas|first1=A.|year=2002|title=Mindless mastery|url=https://archive.org/details/sim_nature-uk_2002-02-21_415_6874/page/840|journal=Nature|volume=415|issue=6874|pages=841|doi=10.1038/415841a|pmid=11859344|s2cid=4350140}}</ref> A counter argument is that intelligence is commonly understood to involve the creation and use of persistent memories.
Opposed to this are computations that only occur once, and that do not involve learning. If this is accepted as part of the definition, then it includes the artificial intelligence of robots capable of "machine learning", but excludes those purely autonomic sense-reaction responses that can be observed in many plants. Plants are not limited to automated sensory-motor responses, however, they are capable of discriminating positive and negative experiences and of 'learning' (registering memories) from their past experiences. They are also capable of communication, accurately computing their circumstances, using sophisticated [[cost–benefit analysis]] and taking tightly controlled actions to mitigate and control the diverse environmental stressors.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Goh|first1=C.

From a [[brain]] point of view, intelligence involves efficient coordination between the [[frontal lobe]]s and [[parietal lobe]]s of the brain. Studies of [[Albert Einstein]]’s brain showed that he had an unusually wide parietal lobe. The parietal lobe is linked to [[mathematics]], [[wikt:abstract|abstract]] reasoning (thinking about ideas that are not physical or directly visible), and visual imagination.
Intelligence helps people solve [[problem]]s and learn from experience. It is often seen as a quality of the [[mind]] that can be developed and trained. For example, when a person finds an answer to a problem and remembers it, they can solve the same problem faster the next time. This process is called [[learning]]. Both [[genetics]] and [[environment]] affect intelligence and learning. One alone is usually not enough to fully support [[Developmental psychology|development]].
[[Intelligence quotient|Intelligence Quotient]] (IQ) tests are used as an approximate way to measure intelligence. They measure a person’s mental power and speed. These tests usually ask people to solve many problems within a set amount of time. Many of the questions involve seeing patterns, understanding [[shape]]s, or deciding what a [[rotation|rotated]] object would look like. Some questions involve [[mathematics]], such as finding the next [[number]] in a sequence. Other questions test words, reasoning, and understanding [[language]]. It is believed that average IQ scores increased across many countries during the [[20th century]] because modern life, education, and science made people highly responsive to the kinds of questions and thinking used in IQ tests. This increase is known as the [[Flynn effect]]. However, a high IQ score does not automatically mean a person has better adaptive functioning, practical life skills, or better judgment in real-life situations.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qvBipuypYUkC|title=What Is Intelligence?: Beyond the Flynn Effect|last=Flynn|first=James R.|date=2007-08-27|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-1-139-46704-9|language=en}}</ref>
== Intelligent machines ==
[[Computer engineer]]s try to build [[machine]]s that act as if they were intelligent. This is related to [[computer science]] and is called [[Artificial intelligence]] (man-made "intelligence"). Artificial intelligence uses [[logic]], and often combines it with [[machine learning]]. This means that similar to living organisms, the machine has to be trained to solve a problem. After training, it will solve the problem faster.
== Intelligence in animals and plants ==
[[File:Chimpanzee_and_stick.jpg|right|thumb|250x250px|The common [[chimpanzee]] can use tools. This chimpanzee is using a stick to get food.]]
Intelligence is not limited to humans. Many animals also show signs of intelligence: animals also need to solve problems, and remembering how a problem is solved is useful to them. Many animals use [[tools]] to solve problems. These animals include the [[Hominidae|Great Apes]], [[Dog|dogs]], [[Dolphin|dolphins]], [[Elephant|elephants]], [[Rat|rats]] and [[Mouse|mice]], and some [[Bird|birds]]. All these animals are [[Vertebrate|vertebrates]], but tool use isn't limited to these: Even [[Cephalopod|cephalopods]] and [[Arthropod|arthropods]] show signs of intelligence. To be able to compare the behaviours of different species, scientists need to adapt the notion of intelligence.
It has been argued that plants should also be classified as intelligent: they are able to sense and model external and internal environments and adjust their [[Morphology (biology)|morphology]], [[Plant physiology|physiology]] and [[phenotype]] accordingly to ensure self-preservation and reproduction.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Trewavas|first=Anthony|date=September 2005|title=Green plants as intelligent organisms|journal=Trends in Plant Science|volume=10|issue=9|pages=413–419|doi=10.1016/j.tplants.2005.07.005|pmid=16054860}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Trewavas|first1=A.|year=2002|title=Mindless mastery|url=https://archive.org/details/sim_nature-uk_2002-02-21_415_6874/page/840|journal=Nature|volume=415|issue=6874|pages=841|doi=10.1038/415841a|pmid=11859344|s2cid=4350140}}</ref> A counter argument is that intelligence is commonly understood to involve the creation and use of persistent memories.
Opposed to this are computations that only occur once, and that do not involve learning. If this is accepted as part of the definition, then it includes the artificial intelligence of robots capable of "machine learning", but excludes those purely autonomic sense-reaction responses that can be observed in many plants. Plants are not limited to automated sensory-motor responses, however, they are capable of discriminating positive and negative experiences and of 'learning' (registering memories) from their past experiences. They are also capable of communication, accurately computing their circumstances, using sophisticated [[cost–benefit analysis]] and taking tightly controlled actions to mitigate and control the diverse environmental stressors.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Goh|first1=C.

The two biggest are called [[Ashkenazi Jews|Ashkenazi]] (who have historically lived in Central and Eastern Europe) and [[Sephardi Jews|Sephardic]] (who have historically lived in lands around the [[Mediterranean Sea]], particularly Spain and Portugal). Jews from the Middle East, the Caucasus, and Central Asia are called [[Mizrahi Jews]]. There are also Ethiopian Jews, Indian Jews (Bene Israel) and Chinese Jews (Kaifeng Jews). Many of these groups have moved from one place to another. For example, many Ashkenazi Jews live in the United States, and many Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews live in France.<ref name="EJ572">{{cite encyclopedia|last1=Schmelz|first1=Usiel O.|first2=Sergio |last2=DellaPergola|editor=Fred Skolnik|encyclopedia=Encyclopaedia Judaica|title=Demography|edition=2|year=2007|publisher=Thomson Gale|volume=5|location=Farmington Hills, Mich.|isbn=978-0028660974|pages=571–572}}</ref>
Jews speak the languages of the countries where they live. [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] is the language of Judaism because it is the language in which the Bible was written. It is still used for prayers. In Israel, Ivrit, which is the name for the new Hebrew language, is the common language. There are also other Jewish languages such as [[Yiddish]] and [[Ladino language|Ladino]] which are still spoken and written by some Jews.
==History==
===Origin===
Judaism began with a [[man]] named ''Abram'' who lived in the [[city]] of [[Ur]] in modern-day [[Iraq]]. As per the [[Midrash]], Abram strongly believed that the people in Ur were wrong to pray to different [[gods]] and statues. He believed that there was really only one [[god]] who was not a statue. The [[Torah]] tells that God spoke to Abram and told him to leave Ur with his family and move to [[Canaan]], where he started a new [[religion]]. God told him that his name would be changed to [[Abraham]]. The Midrash also says that [[angel]]s taught Abraham a new holy language, which Jews believe is the language today known as [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]]. Hebrew continues to be the language of Judaism. Abraham's grandson [[Jacob]] is said to be the one who first had the name of "[[Israel]]".<ref name="A2">

The Bible says that the people of Israel were slaves in Egypt. [[God in Judaism|God]] helped [[Moses]] to set them free. After this, Moses met God on [[Mount Sinai]] and received the [[Torah]] from God.<ref name="A2" /><ref name="B" />
===Bronze age===
The Hebrews, or [[Israelites]], began a country called Israel in Canaan. They fought many wars against other peoples in the area. One of them were the [[Philistines]]. After the death of King [[Solomon]] who was the son of King [[David]], the Israelite kingdom split into two: ten tribes in a new kingdom of [[Kingdom of Israel|Israel]] and the other two tribes in a new [[Judah|Kingdom of Judah]].<ref name="A2" /><ref name="B" /> Judah continued the monarchy of the old Israel. The 2 tribes that made Judah were Judah and Benjamin. The name ''Jew'' comes from the name of one of these tribes, [[Judah]].<ref name="A2" /><ref name="B" />
A country called [[Assyria]] later conquered the Northern Kingdom, and most of the 10 tribes would be deported and exiled, and to this day it is not known where they are. Some stayed and mixed with foreigners and became the [[Samaritans]]. Others fled to Judah where they adopted the everyday life of those who lived in Judah. Judah was subsequently conquered by [[Babylonia]] and its people were taken captive to [[Babylon]].<ref name="A2" /><ref name="B" /> This is called the Babylonian exile, because they were exiled (taken away) from Judah. They were allowed to go back to Judah again when Babylon was conquered by the [[Persian Empire]]. The Israelites that were in the exile then became known as Jews because their religion and culture went through some changes that were suited to Judahites. Some Jewish people stayed in Babylon (now Iraq) and others also lived in other countries.<ref name="A2" /><ref name="B" />
===Classical antiquity===
By 50 BC, Judah (then called Judea) was ruled by the [[Roman Empire]]. During this time, the main language of Judea was [[Aramaic]]. The Jews did not like the Roman government or customs, and often made trouble for the Romans. In 70 AD, after a revolt against the government by the Jewish community, the Romans destroyed Judea's capital city, [[Jerusalem]], and its temple, which was made when the Jews returned from Exile. In 135 AD, a man called Simon Bar Kokhba leads another revolt against the Romans. The Romans then decided the Jews were too much trouble. The Romans destroyed all of Judea and killed many Jews. They destroyed Jerusalem and renamed it to Aelia Capitolina. And they renamed Judea to Syria Palaestina in order to offend them. Palaestina means the land of Philistines. They were the enemy of the Israelites. They sent the remaining Jews into exile in the rest of the Empire. The Jews weren't allowed to return.
The [[Jewish]] people lost their country. They became a small minority in almost every place they lived. This time is called the [[Diaspora]], when [[Jews]] spread around the world. They lived in many other countries. [[Jews]] living in [[Spain]] and [[Portugal]] used the language [[Ladino language|Ladino]] (also called ''Judeo-Spanish''). Jews living in [[Germany]], [[Poland]], [[Russia]], and other countries in Central-Eastern [[Europe]] spoke the language [[Yiddish]]. Jews living in North Africa spoke Judeo-Arabic or [[Haketia]], the local name for Ladino. Jews have lived in most, but not all, places in the world, including India, China, Yemen, and Ethiopia. Even today, Jews who do not live in Israel are often said to live "in the Diaspora". In some places, like [https://www.israel365news.com/380571/indias-lost-jewish-tribe-of-menashe-celebrates-chanukah/ India] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231217001222/https://www.israel365news.com/380571/indias-lost-jewish-tribe-of-menashe-celebrates-chanukah/ |date=2023-12-17 }}, Jews lived without any problems. In other places, like most of Europe and Islamic countries, there was [[bigotry]] or even [[wikt:hatred|hatred]] against Jews and they lived under discriminatory laws. Sometimes Jews suffered from outright persecution (that is: systematic hatred and violence), sometimes they were forced to dress in special, ugly clothes, pay higher taxes than others, were not allowed build houses that were higher than others, not to ride a ][Horse]] or [[Donkey]], wear certain badges etc. A lot of [[Christian]]s especially in [[Europe]] in the [[Middle Ages]] thought that [[Jews]] were responsible for the death of [[Jesus]]. The [[Christian]]s persecuted the [[Jews]] en masse. The [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholic Church]] also forbade [[Christians]] from lending money against interest, some [[Jews]] worked as bankers and money-lenders, and became known as skillful bankers.:.
===Middle Ages===
One [[Nomadic people|nomad]] nation, the [[Khazars]], converted to Judaism in the 8th or 9th century. The Khazar khanate, which was in the modern [[Ukraine]] and [[Caucasus|southern Russia]], was the only independent [[Jewish]] state before modern day [[Israel]]. The Khazar state was destroyed by the Kievan [[Russians]]' in 969. The [[Jews|Jewish people]] have always believed that they have a special mission from God. They do things in their own ways, such as having special rules about [[Kosher|food and eating]], not working on [[Shabbat]], keeping their own holidays, and not marrying people from other [[religions]]. Because of this, people in many different times and countries have thought that the Jews were strange, and maybe dangerous. Many countries made laws that the [[Jews]] could not work in some jobs or live in some places. Sometimes [[Jewish]] people were killed because of their religion. The word "[[antisemitism]]" means the hatred for [[Jews]].:.
===20th century===
====The Holocaust====
During the 1930s and 1940s, the [[Nazi]], or ''National Socialist'' government of [[Germany]] conquered most of [[Europe]]. They did terrible things to the Jewish people. The Nazi government killed more than six million Jewish people.<ref name=YadVashemnumbers>{{cite book |author=Benz, Wolfgang |year=1996 |title=Dimension des Völkermords.

====Cold War====
In 1948, after [[World War II]], the [[United Nations]] made the country of [[Israel]] for the Jews in [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]], which is in the same place as the original Israel, in the [[Middle East]]. The land had been part of the [[Ottoman Empire]] before [[World War I]]. [[Britain]] then controlled the area under the oversight of the [[United Nations]]. Many Jews moved back to Israel, then called Palestine, starting in the late 1800s. When the country of Israel was made in 1948, there were about 600,000 Jews in it. Today there are about [[:en:Demographics_of_Israel|7,181,000]] Jews in Israel. When Jews moved back to Palestine, there were some people living there now. Most of them did not want to live in a Jewish country. This was the beginning of the Israeli-Arab or Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which continues today. Jews have come to Israel from all over the world, bringing different languages, music, food, and history to create a unique culture. Israel is the only country in the world where a majority of people are Jews and where Hebrew is the main language.
===Today===
[[Jewish]] history continues today in both [[Israel]] and the Diaspora. Outside of [[Israel]], there are many Jews in the [[United States]]; [[Great Britain]]; [[France]], [[Germany]], [[Russia]], [[Ukraine]], [[Argentina]], [[Brazil]], and [[Australia]]. There are smaller numbers of Jews living in other parts of the world. Some of the major problems faced by the Jewish people today include resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and dealing with high rates of assimilation (loss of Jewish identity) in some countries, like the [[United States]].:.

All ethnic (non-convert) Jews have genetic heritage from the Levant (the region now known as [[Israel]] and/or [[Palestine]]).<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/.premium-75-percent-of-jews-trace-ancestry-to-mideast-1.5327994|title=DNA Tester: 75 Percent of Jews Trace Ancestry to Middle East|first=Judy|last=Maltz|date=13 November 2014|publisher=|newspaper=Haaretz}}</ref> Within all of the world's Jews, there are Jewish [[ethnic group]]s. The two biggest are called [[Ashkenazi Jews|Ashkenazi]] (who have historically lived in Central and Eastern Europe) and [[Sephardi Jews|Sephardic]] (who have historically lived in lands around the [[Mediterranean Sea]], particularly Spain and Portugal). Jews from the Middle East, the Caucasus, and Central Asia are called [[Mizrahi Jews]]. There are also Ethiopian Jews, Indian Jews (Bene Israel) and Chinese Jews (Kaifeng Jews). Many of these groups have moved from one place to another. For example, many Ashkenazi Jews live in the United States, and many Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews live in France.<ref name="EJ572">{{cite encyclopedia|last1=Schmelz|first1=Usiel O.|first2=Sergio |last2=DellaPergola|editor=Fred Skolnik|encyclopedia=Encyclopaedia Judaica|title=Demography|edition=2|year=2007|publisher=Thomson Gale|volume=5|location=Farmington Hills, Mich.|isbn=978-0028660974|pages=571–572}}</ref>
Jews speak the languages of the countries where they live. [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] is the language of Judaism because it is the language in which the Bible was written. It is still used for prayers. In Israel, Ivrit, which is the name for the new Hebrew language, is the common language. There are also other Jewish languages such as [[Yiddish]] and [[Ladino language|Ladino]] which are still spoken and written by some Jews.
==History==
===Origin===
Judaism began with a [[man]] named ''Abram'' who lived in the [[city]] of [[Ur]] in modern-day [[Iraq]]. As per the [[Midrash]], Abram strongly believed that the people in Ur were wrong to pray to different [[gods]] and statues. He believed that there was really only one [[god]] who was not a statue. The [[Torah]] tells that God spoke to Abram and told him to leave Ur with his family and move to [[Canaan]], where he started a new [[religion]]. God told him that his name would be changed to [[Abraham]]. The Midrash also says that [[angel]]s taught Abraham a new holy language, which Jews believe is the language today known as [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]]. Hebrew continues to be the language of Judaism. Abraham's grandson [[Jacob]] is said to be the one who first had the name of "[[Israel]]".<ref name="A2">

The Bible says that the people of Israel were slaves in Egypt. [[God in Judaism|God]] helped [[Moses]] to set them free. After this, Moses met God on [[Mount Sinai]] and received the [[Torah]] from God.<ref name="A2" /><ref name="B" />
===Bronze age===
The Hebrews, or [[Israelites]], began a country called Israel in Canaan. They fought many wars against other peoples in the area. One of them were the [[Philistines]]. After the death of King [[Solomon]] who was the son of King [[David]], the Israelite kingdom split into two: ten tribes in a new kingdom of [[Kingdom of Israel|Israel]] and the other two tribes in a new [[Judah|Kingdom of Judah]].<ref name="A2" /><ref name="B" /> Judah continued the monarchy of the old Israel. The 2 tribes that made Judah were Judah and Benjamin. The name ''Jew'' comes from the name of one of these tribes, [[Judah]].<ref name="A2" /><ref name="B" />
A country called [[Assyria]] later conquered the Northern Kingdom, and most of the 10 tribes would be deported and exiled, and to this day it is not known where they are. Some stayed and mixed with foreigners and became the [[Samaritans]]. Others fled to Judah where they adopted the everyday life of those who lived in Judah. Judah was subsequently conquered by [[Babylonia]] and its people were taken captive to [[Babylon]].<ref name="A2" /><ref name="B" /> This is called the Babylonian exile, because they were exiled (taken away) from Judah. They were allowed to go back to Judah again when Babylon was conquered by the [[Persian Empire]]. The Israelites that were in the exile then became known as Jews because their religion and culture went through some changes that were suited to Judahites. Some Jewish people stayed in Babylon (now Iraq) and others also lived in other countries.<ref name="A2" /><ref name="B" />
===Classical antiquity===
By 50 BC, Judah (then called Judea) was ruled by the [[Roman Empire]]. During this time, the main language of Judea was [[Aramaic]]. The Jews did not like the Roman government or customs, and often made trouble for the Romans. In 70 AD, after a revolt against the government by the Jewish community, the Romans destroyed Judea's capital city, [[Jerusalem]], and its temple, which was made when the Jews returned from Exile. In 135 AD, a man called Simon Bar Kokhba leads another revolt against the Romans. The Romans then decided the Jews were too much trouble. The Romans destroyed all of Judea and killed many Jews. They destroyed Jerusalem and renamed it to Aelia Capitolina. And they renamed Judea to Syria Palaestina in order to offend them. Palaestina means the land of Philistines. They were the enemy of the Israelites. They sent the remaining Jews into exile in the rest of the Empire. The Jews weren't allowed to return.
The [[Jewish]] people lost their country. They became a small minority in almost every place they lived. This time is called the [[Diaspora]], when [[Jews]] spread around the world. They lived in many other countries. [[Jews]] living in [[Spain]] and [[Portugal]] used the language [[Ladino language|Ladino]] (also called ''Judeo-Spanish''). Jews living in [[Germany]], [[Poland]], [[Russia]], and other countries in Central-Eastern [[Europe]] spoke the language [[Yiddish]]. Jews living in North Africa spoke Judeo-Arabic or [[Haketia]], the local name for Ladino. Jews have lived in most, but not all, places in the world, including India, China, Yemen, and Ethiopia. Even today, Jews who do not live in Israel are often said to live "in the Diaspora". In some places, like [https://www.israel365news.com/380571/indias-lost-jewish-tribe-of-menashe-celebrates-chanukah/ India] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231217001222/https://www.israel365news.com/380571/indias-lost-jewish-tribe-of-menashe-celebrates-chanukah/ |date=2023-12-17 }}, Jews lived without any problems. In other places, like most of Europe and Islamic countries, there was [[bigotry]] or even [[wikt:hatred|hatred]] against Jews and they lived under discriminatory laws. Sometimes Jews suffered from outright persecution (that is: systematic hatred and violence), sometimes they were forced to dress in special, ugly clothes, pay higher taxes than others, were not allowed build houses that were higher than others, not to ride a ][Horse]] or [[Donkey]], wear certain badges etc. A lot of [[Christian]]s especially in [[Europe]] in the [[Middle Ages]] thought that [[Jews]] were responsible for the death of [[Jesus]]. The [[Christian]]s persecuted the [[Jews]] en masse. The [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholic Church]] also forbade [[Christians]] from lending money against interest, some [[Jews]] worked as bankers and money-lenders, and became known as skillful bankers.:.
===Middle Ages===
One [[Nomadic people|nomad]] nation, the [[Khazars]], converted to Judaism in the 8th or 9th century. The Khazar khanate, which was in the modern [[Ukraine]] and [[Caucasus|southern Russia]], was the only independent [[Jewish]] state before modern day [[Israel]]. The Khazar state was destroyed by the Kievan [[Russians]]' in 969. The [[Jews|Jewish people]] have always believed that they have a special mission from God. They do things in their own ways, such as having special rules about [[Kosher|food and eating]], not working on [[Shabbat]], keeping their own holidays, and not marrying people from other [[religions]]. Because of this, people in many different times and countries have thought that the Jews were strange, and maybe dangerous. Many countries made laws that the [[Jews]] could not work in some jobs or live in some places. Sometimes [[Jewish]] people were killed because of their religion. The word "[[antisemitism]]" means the hatred for [[Jews]].:.
===20th century===
====The Holocaust====
During the 1930s and 1940s, the [[Nazi]], or ''National Socialist'' government of [[Germany]] conquered most of [[Europe]]. They did terrible things to the Jewish people. The Nazi government killed more than six million Jewish people.<ref name=YadVashemnumbers>{{cite book |author=Benz, Wolfgang |year=1996 |title=Dimension des Völkermords.

====Cold War====
In 1948, after [[World War II]], the [[United Nations]] made the country of [[Israel]] for the Jews in [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]], which is in the same place as the original Israel, in the [[Middle East]]. The land had been part of the [[Ottoman Empire]] before [[World War I]]. [[Britain]] then controlled the area under the oversight of the [[United Nations]]. Many Jews moved back to Israel, then called Palestine, starting in the late 1800s. When the country of Israel was made in 1948, there were about 600,000 Jews in it. Today there are about [[:en:Demographics_of_Israel|7,181,000]] Jews in Israel. When Jews moved back to Palestine, there were some people living there now. Most of them did not want to live in a Jewish country. This was the beginning of the Israeli-Arab or Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which continues today. Jews have come to Israel from all over the world, bringing different languages, music, food, and history to create a unique culture. Israel is the only country in the world where a majority of people are Jews and where Hebrew is the main language.
===Today===
[[Jewish]] history continues today in both [[Israel]] and the Diaspora. Outside of [[Israel]], there are many Jews in the [[United States]]; [[Great Britain]]; [[France]], [[Germany]], [[Russia]], [[Ukraine]], [[Argentina]], [[Brazil]], and [[Australia]]. There are smaller numbers of Jews living in other parts of the world. Some of the major problems faced by the Jewish people today include resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and dealing with high rates of assimilation (loss of Jewish identity) in some countries, like the [[United States]].:.

'''Johann Strauss II''' (born [[Vienna]], October 25, 1825; died [[Vienna]] June 3, 1899) was an [[Austria]]n [[composer]], [[Conductor (music)|conductor]] and [[violin]]ist. His father, also called Johann, was also a very famous composer, and is now known as [[Johann Strauss I]] (or Johann Strauss Sr) while his eldest son is called Johann Strauss II (or Johann Strauss Jr). Strauss became very famous for his [[Waltz (music)|waltz]]es. He was known as the “King of the Waltz”. His most famous one was called ''[[Blue Danube Waltz|An der schönen, blauen Donau]]'' (known in English as ''The Blue Danube'').<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Johann-Strauss-II|title=Johann Strauss II {{!}} Biography, Compositions, & Facts|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|language=en|access-date=2020-05-24}}</ref>
== Early life ==
His father wanted him to go in for [[bank]]ing, but the young Johann took violin lessons in [[secret]] from a man called Franz Amon who was the [[concertmaster|leader]] of his father’s orchestra. He continued his violin studies with Anton Kohlmann, a violinist who helped [[ballet]] dancers to learn the music they had to dance to. He was still only 18 when he got his own orchestra together and gave his own [[concert]] which included six of his own waltzes and some of his father’s. He was soon becoming more famous than his father.
After his father died in 1849, the two orchestras joined into one and the young Johann was their conductor. He was given the title “k.k.Hofballmusikdirektor” (meaning; musical director of the Court Ball). He was always especially busy during [[Carnival]] time when there were lots of [[ballroom|balls]] in Vienna. He toured most of Europe with his orchestra, even going to [[Russia]] where he conducted some music by [[Tchaikovsky]]. Johann Strauss II was becoming the “king of the waltz”, the most famous musician in Austria.
== Career ==
Johann Strauss II wrote two [[opera]]s: ''Die Fledermaus'' (''The Bat'') and ''Zigeunerbaron'' (''Gypsy Baron''). They are full of fun: lively music and jokes which can sometimes be made different in each performance: the singers can put in their own jokes about modern times. Sometimes they are called [[operetta]]s because they are so light-hearted. They are a mixture of [[Hungary|Hungarian]] and Viennese atmosphere.
Together with his brothers Josef and Eduard, Johann had complete control of the balls and concerts in the houses of the rich people in Vienna. Wherever he went he was surrounded by lots of admirers. His waltzes are still as popular as ever, and millions of people in different countries hear them on [[television]] on [[New Year's Day]] when they are played by the [[Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra]] at their traditional New Year’s Day concert.

'''Western Europe''' is a [[geographic]] [[region]] of [[Europe]]. This term does not have an exact [[definition]]. Some definitions include countries like [[Spain]] and the [[United Kingdom]], while some don't. Its use has changed over time. During the [[Middle Ages]], the European parts of the [[Western World]] included those countries following [[Catholicism]] or [[Protestantism]]. During the [[Cold War]], ''Western Europe'' was a geographic and socio-political concept. It meant the democratic [[Europe]]an countries of the [[First World]], which are also vaguely defined. It was and still is distinguished from [[Eastern Europe]] by differences of [[economics]], [[politics]], and [[religion]].
It includes at least the following 23 countries:

#[[File:Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists-M.svg|23px]] [[OUN-M]]
Countries:
Many, such as Norway, are also in [[Northern Europe]] or in [[Central Europe]] or [[Southern Europe]].
Today, the term "Western Europe" has to do with geography and with economics. The concept is commonly associated with [[liberal democracy]], [[socialism]] and also with the [[European Union]], though that also has some countries of Eastern Europe.
Most of the countries in the region share [[Western culture]], and many have economic, and political ties with countries in [[North America|North]] and [[South America]] and [[Oceania]].
In addition, Western Europe is commonly associated with [[social democracy]] and [[democratic socialism]] and remains fairly [[neutral]] throughout international disputes. The [[Iberian Peninsula]], the most western part of Europe is similarly closely linked to the [[Americas]].
It is a monotonous area with long and irregular coastlines.

== History ==
The party was officially formed in 1906, just after the [[general election]], as a successor of the Labour Representative Committee formed in 1900. In 1918, the party made a new [[constitution]] with the commitment to [[socialism]], or the socialization of the industry. This could be found in Clause 4.
The Labour Party won the general election in 1945 for the first time. From 1951 Labour was in opposition for thirteen years, during which there were serious fights between the left and right wings of the party. The leader of the left wing was [[Aneurin Bevan]]. His supporters were called the ''"Bevanites"''. They wanted a less confrontational policy in foreign affairs and more socialist actions. The leaders of the right wing were [[Clement Attlee]] and [[Hugh Gaitskell]]. They believed that Western capitalism had changed a lot and that socialism and public ownership was not so important. Gaitskell tried to remove Clause 4 from the party constitution at the 1959 conference, but he could not.
In 1994, [[Tony Blair]] forced the Labour Party to drop Clause 4. This was an important step to change the party into '''"New Labour"'''.
In 2015, [[dark horse]] candidate Jeremy Corbyn announced his candidacy for the leadership of the Labour Party. At the beginning, he was thought of as a socialist fringe candidate, but he later became the lead candidate in polls and got the support of the majority of trade unions affiliated to the Labour Party, along with those of three non-affiliated unions. On 12 September 2015, he was elected Leader of the Labour Party, with a majority vote of 59.5% in the first round of the ballot.

'''Spiro Theodore Agnew''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|p|ɪər|oʊ|_|ˈ|æ|g|n|juː}}; November 9, 1918 – September 17, 1996)<ref>{{Cite web|title=Bioguide Search {{!}} Spiro Agnew|url=https://bioguide.congress.gov/search/bio/a000059|access-date=2026-05-08|website=bioguide.congress.gov}}</ref> was an American politician who served as the 39th [[Vice President of the United States|vice president of the United States]] under [[Richard Nixon]] from 1969 until his resignation in 1973. Before becoming vice president, he was the 55th [[governor of Maryland]] from 1967 to 1969. He was the first Greek American vice president and the second of the second vice president to resigned from office since [[John C. Calhoun]] in 1832.<ref name="britannica" />
Agnew's fall began around 1973, where he caused a scandal being federal investigation into his [[extortion]], [[corruption]], [[bribery]], and [[tax evasion]]. It was reported that he accepted bribes as Maryland governor and it continued into his vice presidency. Agnew was accused of receiving, and failing to pay taxes on over ($100,000) during his time as Baltimore County executive and governor of Maryland.
Later the [[United States Attorney for the District of Maryland|U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland]] fined him of ($10,000) and placed on three years of probation as part of a deal with the [[United States Department of Justice|Justice Department]] to avoid prison, Agnew resigned from his vice presidency for failing to report ($29,500) of his income in 1967.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Agnew Quits Vice Presidency And Admits Tax Evasion In '67; Nixon Consults On Successor|url=https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/big/1010.html|access-date=2026-05-08|website=archive.nytimes.com}}</ref>
==Early life==
Spiro Agnew was born in [[Baltimore]], in the state of [[Maryland]]. His father was Theodore Spiros Agnew, a [[Greece|Greek]] immigrant. He shortened his name from Anagnostopoulos when he moved to the USA (which was between 1897 and 1902).<ref name="ussenate">{{cite web|url=http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/generic/VP_Spiro_Agnew.htm|title=U.S. Senate - Art & History - Spiro T Agnew, 39th Vice President}}</ref><ref name="britannica">[http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9004048/Spiro-T-Agnew Spiro T. Agnew - Encyclopedia Britannica] (accessed 2007-10-13)</ref> He married Margaret Akers, a native of [[Virginia]]. He joined the US Army and served in both [[World War II]] and the [[Korean War]].
==Career==
[[File:1966 Maryland gubernatorial election results map by county.svg|thumb|Results of the 1966 Maryland gubernatorial election]]
[[File:Spiro Agnew (MD).png|thumb|Agnew as [[Maryland]]'s Governor]]
After holding a number of political offices in Baltimore, he ran for Baltimore County Executive in 1962. In a race that was thought to go to the Democratic Party Agnew surprisingly won. While executive he was known for outlawing racial segregation. He ran for Governor in 1966. His opponent was George Mahoney, who ran on a racist and pro segregationist platform. Agnew won after many Democrats voted for him. While governor he passed tax reform, justice reform, anti pollution laws, and civil rights laws. He also took a tough stand against the black power movement. This angered many civil rights leaders who had supported him.
Agnew was chosen as [[Richard Nixon]]'s running mate in 1968. Nixon wanted to do better in the Southern States. Agnew, a moderate, could get Democrats to vote for him. He was chosen as vice presidential candidate at the convention over [[George Romney]]. Agnew supported "law and order" a policy of enforcing the law strictly. Agnew took a hard stand against the anti-war movement. His sometimes dirty attacks led him to be called Nixon's "hatchet man". However he did speak out against the Kent State Shooting, where national guard troops shot protestors to death in Ohio.
Agnew enjoyed the privileges of being vice president. He was well liked by Nixon supporters, and made it onto the Republican national ticket again in 1972. In 1973, it became clear that Agnew had been very corrupt in his career as governor and was facing several felony charges. He cut a plea deal and narrowly got out of having to serve a long time in prison.
=== Resignation, disgrace, and death ===
He resigned in disgrace in October 1973, and never spoke to Richard Nixon again (Nixon would himself resign in 1974 over a [[Watergate scandal|similar scandal]]). Agnew became a disgraced figure and never was very much involved in politics after that. His portrait was taken down in the Maryland Governor's Mansion and his bust was not put up as a former vice president. When both were put on display, many criticized the decision to display them. He died in 1996 of [[Leukemia|leukaemia.]] He was not given a state funeral of any kind and had a small funeral service. He was buried at a cemetery in Maryland.

'''YouTube''' is a free [[video sharing]] website that lets people upload, view, and share contents. Contents can be rated with a like or dislike, most contents can be commented on if logged in to an account, and the number of times a video has been watched (known as "views") is put on the site. Users who have accounts can also subscribe to channels. At the moment, [[Google]] (a search engine company) owns and operates YouTube. Many different types of videos can be put onto the website, such as educational content, animations, and funny stuff. YouTube was founded on February 14, 2005 by six or seven former workers of [[PayPal]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Whois Record for YouTube.com|url=http://whois.domaintools.com/youtube.com|work=whois.domaintools.com|accessdate=7 March 2016}}</ref><ref>

== Banning ==
YouTube is blocked in many schools because it allows children to search for videos online that would otherwise distract them from their lessons, much like how other social networking sites and game sites are blocked for the same purpose. But at a higher level than schools (and in workplaces), even some governments have blocked YouTube access to their country's public, but their reasons can vary. {{cn|date=January 2012}}
=== Iran ===
On [[December 3]], 2006, the [[Islamic Republic of Iran|government of Iran]] blocked YouTube and several other sites in an attempt to stop films and music from other countries from being seen.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/iran/story/0,,1963166,00.html|title=Censorship fears rise as Iran blocks access to top websites|date=[[November 4]], [[2006]]|accessdate = 2006-12-17}}</ref>
=== Turkey ===
Turkey blocked YouTube on [[March 6]] 2007 for letting videos that were insulting or discriminating to Turks and [[Mustafa Kemal Atatürk|Atatürk]], who is the founder of modern Turkey, to be shown, because of a "virtual war" between Greeks, Armenians, Kurds and Turks on YouTube, with people from each side posting videos to hurt the other.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/turkey/story/0,,2028543,00.html|title=Turkey pulls plug on YouTube over Ataturk 'insults'|date=[[March 7]], 2007|accessdate = 2007-03-07}}</ref> The video that caused banning alleged [[Turkey|Turks]] and Atatürk to be 'gay'.

During the week of [[March 8]], YouTube was blocked in Thailand.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.2bangkok.com/blockedyoutube.shtml|title=YouTube seems blocked in Thailand 2bangkok.com|date=[[March 10]], [[2007]]|accessdate = 2007-03-10}}</ref> Many bloggers (people who have a "diary" online) believed the reason YouTube was blocked was because of a video of the former Prime Minister [[Thaksin Shinawatra]]'s speech on [[CNN]]. However, the government did not confirm or give reasons for the ban. YouTube was accessible from [[March 10]].
On the night of [[April 3]], YouTube was again blocked in Thailand.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://facthai.wordpress.com/2007/04/04/youtube-blocked-again/|title=YouTube Blocked Again|date=[[April 04]], [[2007]]|accessdate = 2007-04-04}}</ref> The government said it was because of a video on the site that it said was "insulting" to King [[Bhumibol Adulyadej]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bangkokpost.co.th/topstories/topstories.php?id=117871|title=For some users, YouTube disappears|date=[[April 04]], [[2007]]|accessdate = 2007-04-04}}</ref> The Ministry of Information and Communication Technology claimed that it would unblock YouTube in a few days, after websites containing references to this video are blocked instead of the entire website.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bangkokpost.com/News/07Apr2007_news03.php|title=YouTube to help block web access to pages insulting King|date=[[April 07]]}}</ref> Communications Minister Sitthichai Pookaiyaudom said, "When they decide to withdraw the clip, we will withdraw the ban."<ref>{{cite news | first = | last = | coauthors = | title =Whose Tube? | date =[[2004-04-14]] | publisher = | url =http://economist.com/world/international/displaystory.cfm?story_id=E1_JDTPVRG | work =[[The Economist]] | pages =71 | accessdate =2007-04-16 | language = | archive-date =2007-10-17 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20071017234704/http://economist.com/world/international/displaystory.cfm?story_id=E1_JDTPVRG | url-status =dead }}</ref> Soon after this incident the internet technology blog Mashable was banned from Thailand over the reporting of the YouTube clips in question.<ref>

=== Brazilian model lawsuit and banning that came after ===
YouTube is being sued by [[Brazil]]ian model and MTV VJ Daniela Cicarelli (better known as [[Ronaldo]]'s ex-fiancée) on the grounds that the site is making available a video footage made by a paparazzi, in which she and her boyfriend are having sex on a Spanish beach. The lawsuit says that YouTube has to be blocked in Brazil until all copies of the video are removed. On Saturday, [[January 6]], [[2007]], a legal injunction ordered that filters be put in place to prevent users in Brazil from going to the website.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.totalsecurity.com.br/article.php?sid=2768&order=0 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2007-06-07 |archive-date=2012-07-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120723112727/https://totalsecurity.com.br/article.php?sid=2768&order=0 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.radiofandango.com.br/archive/valor.php?noticia=3720 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2007-06-07 |archive-date=2007-02-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070210102300/http://www.radiofandango.com.br/archive/valor.php?noticia=3720 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
The effectiveness of the measure has been questioned, since the video is not available only on YouTube, but rather has become an [[Internet phenomenon]]. On Tuesday, [[January 9]], [[2007]], the same court overturned their earlier decision, ordering the filters to be taken down, even though the footage was still forbidden, but without technical support for its blockage.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://tecnologia.terra.com.br/interna/0,,OI1337815-EI4802,00.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=2007-06-07 |archive-date=2012-12-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121209232734/http://tecnologia.terra.com.br/interna/0,,OI1337815-EI4802,00.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
=== Morocco ===
On May 25, 2007 the state-owned company Maroc Telecom blocked all access to YouTube.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.globalvoicesonline.org/2007/05/26/morocco-blocks-access-to-youtube/ |title=''Morocco blocks access to YouTube'' |accessdate=2007-05-27 |format= |work=globalvoicesonline.org }}</ref> There were no reasons given why YouTube was blocked. But the guesses are that it might have something to do with some pro-separatist group Polisario clips (Polisario is the Western Sahara independence movement) or because of some videos that criticized King Mohammed VI. This block did not concern the other two private internet-providers, Wana and Meditel. YouTube became accessible again on May 30th, 2007 after ''Maroc Telecom'' unofficially announced that the denied access to the website was only a "technical glitch".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=22322 |title=''YouTube again accessible via Maroc Telecom'' |accessdate=2007-05-30 |format= |work=rsf.org }}</ref>

'''YouTube''' is a free [[video sharing]] website that lets people upload, view, and share contents. Contents can be rated with a like or dislike, most contents can be commented on if logged in to an account, and the number of times a video has been watched (known as "views") is put on the site. Users who have accounts can also subscribe to channels. At the moment, [[Google]] (a search engine company) owns and operates YouTube. Many different types of videos can be put onto the website, such as educational content, animations, and funny stuff. YouTube was founded on February 14, 2005 by six or seven former workers of [[PayPal]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Whois Record for YouTube.com|url=http://whois.domaintools.com/youtube.com|work=whois.domaintools.com|accessdate=7 March 2016}}</ref><ref>

== Banning ==
YouTube is blocked in many schools because it allows children to search for videos online that would otherwise distract them from their lessons, much like how other social networking sites and game sites are blocked for the same purpose. But at a higher level than schools (and in workplaces), even some governments have blocked YouTube access to their country's public, but their reasons can vary. {{cn|date=January 2012}}
=== Iran ===
On [[December 3]], 2006, the [[Islamic Republic of Iran|government of Iran]] blocked YouTube and several other sites in an attempt to stop films and music from other countries from being seen.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/iran/story/0,,1963166,00.html|title=Censorship fears rise as Iran blocks access to top websites|date=[[November 4]], [[2006]]|accessdate = 2006-12-17}}</ref>
=== Turkey ===
Turkey blocked YouTube on [[March 6]] 2007 for letting videos that were insulting or discriminating to Turks and [[Mustafa Kemal Atatürk|Atatürk]], who is the founder of modern Turkey, to be shown, because of a "virtual war" between Greeks, Armenians, Kurds and Turks on YouTube, with people from each side posting videos to hurt the other.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/turkey/story/0,,2028543,00.html|title=Turkey pulls plug on YouTube over Ataturk 'insults'|date=[[March 7]], 2007|accessdate = 2007-03-07}}</ref> The video that caused banning alleged [[Turkey|Turks]] and Atatürk to be 'gay'.

The ban was strongly criticized. YouTube lawyers sent documentary of removal to court and users could access the website again on [[March 9]] [[2007]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/Technology/Turkey-revokes-YouTube-ban/2007/03/10/1173167025391.html|title=Turkey revokes YouTube ban|date=[[March 9]], [[2007]]|accessdate = 2007-03-09}}</ref>
=== Thailand ===
During the week of [[March 8]], YouTube was blocked in Thailand.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.2bangkok.com/blockedyoutube.shtml|title=YouTube seems blocked in Thailand 2bangkok.com|date=[[March 10]], [[2007]]|accessdate = 2007-03-10}}</ref> Many bloggers (people who have a "diary" online) believed the reason YouTube was blocked was because of a video of the former Prime Minister [[Thaksin Shinawatra]]'s speech on [[CNN]]. However, the government did not confirm or give reasons for the ban. YouTube was accessible from [[March 10]].
On the night of [[April 3]], YouTube was again blocked in Thailand.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://facthai.wordpress.com/2007/04/04/youtube-blocked-again/|title=YouTube Blocked Again|date=[[April 04]], [[2007]]|accessdate = 2007-04-04}}</ref> The government said it was because of a video on the site that it said was "insulting" to King [[Bhumibol Adulyadej]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bangkokpost.co.th/topstories/topstories.php?id=117871|title=For some users, YouTube disappears|date=[[April 04]], [[2007]]|accessdate = 2007-04-04}}</ref> The Ministry of Information and Communication Technology claimed that it would unblock YouTube in a few days, after websites containing references to this video are blocked instead of the entire website.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bangkokpost.com/News/07Apr2007_news03.php|title=YouTube to help block web access to pages insulting King|date=[[April 07]]}}</ref> Communications Minister Sitthichai Pookaiyaudom said, "When they decide to withdraw the clip, we will withdraw the ban."<ref>{{cite news | first = | last = | coauthors = | title =Whose Tube? | date =[[2004-04-14]] | publisher = | url =http://economist.com/world/international/displaystory.cfm?story_id=E1_JDTPVRG | work =[[The Economist]] | pages =71 | accessdate =2007-04-16 | language = | archive-date =2007-10-17 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20071017234704/http://economist.com/world/international/displaystory.cfm?story_id=E1_JDTPVRG | url-status =dead }}</ref> Soon after this incident the internet technology blog Mashable was banned from Thailand over the reporting of the YouTube clips in question.<ref>

=== Brazilian model lawsuit and banning that came after ===
YouTube is being sued by [[Brazil]]ian model and MTV VJ Daniela Cicarelli (better known as [[Ronaldo]]'s ex-fiancée) on the grounds that the site is making available a video footage made by a paparazzi, in which she and her boyfriend are having sex on a Spanish beach. The lawsuit says that YouTube has to be blocked in Brazil until all copies of the video are removed. On Saturday, [[January 6]], [[2007]], a legal injunction ordered that filters be put in place to prevent users in Brazil from going to the website.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.totalsecurity.com.br/article.php?sid=2768&order=0 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2007-06-07 |archive-date=2012-07-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120723112727/https://totalsecurity.com.br/article.php?sid=2768&order=0 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.radiofandango.com.br/archive/valor.php?noticia=3720 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2007-06-07 |archive-date=2007-02-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070210102300/http://www.radiofandango.com.br/archive/valor.php?noticia=3720 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
The effectiveness of the measure has been questioned, since the video is not available only on YouTube, but rather has become an [[Internet phenomenon]]. On Tuesday, [[January 9]], [[2007]], the same court overturned their earlier decision, ordering the filters to be taken down, even though the footage was still forbidden, but without technical support for its blockage.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://tecnologia.terra.com.br/interna/0,,OI1337815-EI4802,00.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=2007-06-07 |archive-date=2012-12-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121209232734/http://tecnologia.terra.com.br/interna/0,,OI1337815-EI4802,00.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
=== Morocco ===
On May 25, 2007 the state-owned company Maroc Telecom blocked all access to YouTube.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.globalvoicesonline.org/2007/05/26/morocco-blocks-access-to-youtube/ |title=''Morocco blocks access to YouTube'' |accessdate=2007-05-27 |format= |work=globalvoicesonline.org }}</ref> There were no reasons given why YouTube was blocked. But the guesses are that it might have something to do with some pro-separatist group Polisario clips (Polisario is the Western Sahara independence movement) or because of some videos that criticized King Mohammed VI. This block did not concern the other two private internet-providers, Wana and Meditel. YouTube became accessible again on May 30th, 2007 after ''Maroc Telecom'' unofficially announced that the denied access to the website was only a "technical glitch".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=22322 |title=''YouTube again accessible via Maroc Telecom'' |accessdate=2007-05-30 |format= |work=rsf.org }}</ref>
=== Australia ===
In Australia, some schools, including all secondary schools in [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], have YouTube blocked from student access, after fights have been posted on YouTube.

{{nihongo|'''''One Piece'''''|ワンピース|Wan Pīsu|lead=yes}} is a [[manga]] and [[anime]] series created by [[Eiichiro Oda]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.apricot.com/~fuu/paradise3/oda/index.html |title=Eiichiro Oda |accessdate=2012-12-18}}</ref>
''One Piece'' follows the story of the Straw Hat [[Pirate]]s, led by captain Monkey D. Luffy, on their adventures in Grand Line. The main theme is Monkey D. Luffy's dream to find the One Piece, a grand treasure that the king of the Pirates, Gold D. Roger left behind. One Piece takes place in a world with one [[continent]], many different [[island]]s, and a vast and large [[sea]] filled with [[monster]]s, [[pirate]]s and treasure. ''One Piece'' is serialized in ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]''. The most successful ''One Piece'' movies are ''One Piece Film: Red'', ''One Piece Film: Z,'' and ''One Piece: Stampede''.
== Characters ==
* Monkey D. Luffy - the main character and captain of the ''Straw Hat Pirates''. He is also known as 'Straw Hat Luffy'. He ate a ''Devil Fruit'' called the "Gomu-Gomu No Mi" when he was 7 years old, giving him the ability to stretch like [[rubber]]. His Straw hat was given to him by ''Shanks''. His older brothers are ''Ace'' and ''Sabo''.
* Roronoa Zoro - a former pirate [[hunter]]. He was the greatest [[warrior]] in his [[dojo]], next to ''Kuina'', the his teacher's daughter. They then make a promise to one another that one of them will be the greatest swordsman. The very next day Kuina dies. Zoro takes her sword so he can fulfill their dream.
* Sanji - A [[martial artist]] and cook that falls in love with almost every girl he sees. His dream is to find 'The All Blue', a sea where ingredients from all over the world can be found, and as a cook he reveres his hands greatly.
* Nami - A [[thief]] who stole from pirates and a member of the ''Arlong'' pirates. She is the [[navigator]] of the ''Straw Hat Pirates'' now.
* Usopp - A [[sniper]], coward and liar. ''Luffy'' officially made him the crew's sniper after he had perfect aim on his first try at shooting a [[cannon]], destroying an island in one blow.
* Tony Tony Chopper - A blue-nosed [[reindeer]] who ate a fruit which gave him the ability to become partly [[human]]. He is the [[Physician|doctor]] of the ''Straw Hats'' crew, and has a habit of "hiding behind objects" in a way where he is completely visible.
* Nico Robin - A former member of the [[Crime|crime organization]] ''Baroque Works'', joins the crew after being saved by ''Luffy''. She ate the ''Hana-Hana no mi'' (Flower-Flower fruit) which lets her create replications of her body parts on any surface she wants, including [[living organisms]].
* Franky - A [[cyborg]] and a ship breaker. His body runs on [[Cola]], although using other drinks results in a shift in [[personality]] like when he was given [[tea]] and became more wise.
* Brook- A living [[skeleton]] who used to be a part of ''Gol D. Roger's'' crew. Brook ate the Yomi-Yomi no mi (Revive-Revive fruit) which allowed him a second life after his death as a [[skeleton]]. Brook gained full control over his powers which allows him to create a 'freezing aura' around his weapon. He is the ship's [[musician]].
* Jinbe-Formerly the leader of the ''Fishman Pirates'' and one of the ''Seven Warlords of the Sea'', he joined ''Luffy's'' crew at ''Marineford''. He uses ''Fishman [[karate]]''.
== Stories ==
=== Romance Dawn (The start of adventure) ===
Once upon a time, "The King of Pirates", ''Gol. D. Roger'' attained all things the world had to offer. As he was being executed by the Marines, he gave a speech regarding his treasure, which he left on an island in the Grand Line called the "One Piece". Many pirates wish to claim the ¨One Piece¨. This has caused what is called "The Great Pirate Era". Then, a boy living in Foosha Village, ''Monkey. D. Luffy'', made friends with "''Red-Haired" Shanks''. ''Shanks'' is a powerful pirate, given the title of ''Yonko'' (Four Emperors, consisting of four of the strongest pirates) staying in the town. One day, ''Luffy'' ate a ''Devil Fruit'' that ''Shanks''´ crew had stolen from a Marine ship, called the "''Gomu-Gomu no Mi''" (Gum Gum/Rubber Rubber fruit), giving him the ability to stretch like rubber, in exchange for taking away his ability to swim. At one point ''Luffy'' had gotten angry at some bandits for insulting ''Shanks'' and attacked them. The leader of the bandits was going to kill ''Luffy'', but ''Shanks'' helped save him by defeating the bandits. This angered ''Higuma'' (the leader of the bandits) so he threw ''Luffy'' into the sea. ''Luffy'' was nearly eaten by a ''Sea King'', a [[sea monster]] similar to a [[Sea serpent|Sea Serpent]], but ''Shanks'' helped him, losing his arm in the process. When ''Shanks'' left Foosha Village, he gave Luffy his straw hat. In exchange, ''Luffy'' had promised ''Shanks'' to become the ''King of the Pirates'' and deliver him his straw hat.
=== East Blue Saga ===
After 10 years of training, ''Luffy'' leaves his home, ''Foosha Village'', to begin his journey to become the ''king of pirates''. But soon, his boat got stuck in a [[whirlpool]], and he jumped inside a [[barrel]] to survive. He eventually ends up at ''Alvida´s'' base where he meets ''Koby''. ''Koby'' is a [[chore boy]] on ''Alvida´s'' crew. ''Koby's'' dream is to be a ''marine'', but unfortunately, he is forced to stay on ''Alvida's'' crew in exchange for his life. ''Luffy'' ends up telling ''Koby'' that he would do anything to achieve his dream, and ''Koby'' is inspired. This gives ''Koby'' enough courage to stand up to ''Alvida'' with ''Luffy''. ''Luffy'' ends up defeating ''Alvida'' and sails to ''Shell Town'' with him because it is the nearest ''Marine'' base.
==== Shell Town (part of East Blue saga) ====
In Shell Town, Luffy meets ''Roronoa Zoro'', the legendary pirate hunter, who is tied to a post in a naval base. ''Zoro'' has been tied up for the crime of killing ''Helmeppo´s'' (The local captain´s son) dog because they were about to attack a little girl. ''Helmeppo'' promises ''Zoro'' if he can go after he is tied to the post for 30 days without food or water. However, ''Luffy'' overhears ''Helmeppo'' telling his Marine [[bodyguard]]s that they´ll [[execute]] ''Zoro'' tomorrow and break his promise. ''Luffy'' becomes enraged over this and punches ''Helmeppo'', who runs to go tell his father, [[Captain]] ''Axe-Hand Morgan'' to get him to beat ''Luffy'' up, but Captain ''Morgan'' is too busy raising a statue of himself on top of the base. Luffy accidentally breaks the statue, and Captain ''Morgan'' orders his guards to kill ''Luffy.'' ''Luffy'' grabs ''Helmeppo'' to find out where ''Zoro´s'' swords are located and ''Koby'' starts untying ''Zoro'' from the post; which gets him shot in the armpit by Captain ''Morgan''. ''Zoro'' and ''Luffy'' join up to defeat Captain ''Morgan''. All the Marines are happy because Captain ''Morgan'' was a [[tyrant]]. Koby asks Luffy if they can always be friends even though he´s joining the Marines, and ''Luffy'' promises to always be friends with ''Koby''. ''Luffy'' ends up getting ''Zoro'' to join his crew, and they set sail.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Shells Town|url=https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Shells_Town|access-date=2025-01-21|website=One Piece Wiki|language=en}}</ref>
==== Baratie ====
Luffy and Usopp are testing out the new cannons on their ship by firing at an island. Usopp destroys the island first try and Luffy makes him their sniper. They are then jumped by a [[bounty hunter]] named Yosaku because the island they destroyed was where he was resting. However Yosaku sees Zoro and stops attacking and calls him 'Big Bro', a title of friendship between them. Yosaku then explains his predicament that his bounty hunting partner is sick with a mysterious disease.

'''Tetrapods''' ([[Greek language|Greek]] ''tetrapoda'' = four feet) are [[vertebrate]] [[tetrapodomorph|four-legged]] land [[animal]]s. This kind of [[locomotion]] is called [[quadrupedal]].
[[Amphibian]]s, [[reptile]]s, [[bird]]s, and [[mammal]]s are all tetrapods. Even though [[snake]]s, [[Caecilian|caecilians]] and [[Whale|whales]] do not have any limbs, they are tetrapods because they [[evolution|evolved]] from animals with four limbs.
The earliest tetrapods evolved from the [[Sarcopterygii]] (lobe-finned fish) into [[air]]-breathing amphibians, perhaps in the Upper [[Devonian]] period.<ref name="Jenny">[[Jennifer Clack|Clack, Jennifer]] 2012. ''Gaining ground: the origin and early evolution of tetrapods''. 2nd ed, Bloominton, Indiana: Indiana Umiversity Press, 127, 143 et seq. {{ISBN|978-0-253-35675-8}}, ({{Google books|6Ztrhm8uLQ0C }})</ref> This means the transition took place in fish, before the land was the main habitat. This is typical of [[transitional fossil]]s undergoing [[mosaic evolution]].
==Evolution==
=== Fishapods ===
Clear fossil tetrapod [[Animal tracks|tracks]] from the mid-[[Devonian]] predate previous tetrapod records by 18 million years.<ref>Janvier, Phillipe and Clément, Gaël 2010. Muddy tetrapod origins. ''Nature'' '''463''', p40/41. [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v463/n7277/full/463040a.html]</ref> These tracks are from the Middle Devonian of [[Poland]], nearly 400 million years ago. The footprints were made in the mud of a [[tropical]] [[lagoon]], and no animal of that time could have made the tracks except a tetrapod. The find strongly suggests that the animals were [[fish]], not [[amphibia]], when the transition to [[limb]]s occurred. The term '''fishapod''' is sometimes used. They would have been derived from lobe-finned fish ([[Sarcopterygii]]), but of a [[genus]] whose body fossil has not yet been found. The Polish team suggest the fish to tetrapod transition might have taken place as early as the Lower Devonian.<ref>Niedzwiedzki G. Szrek P. Narkiewitcz K & M and Ahlberg P.E. 2010. ''Nature'' '''463''', p43/48. [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v463/n7277/full/nature08623.html]</ref>
The earliest tetrapods lived entirely in [[water]].<ref name=Jenny/> They could not live on land. Earlier, it was believed that fish had first moved onto land – either looking for [[food]] (like modern [[mudskipper]]s) or to find water when the [[pond]] they lived in dried out. It was believed that they later evolved legs, lungs, and other body parts to live better on land.
Nine [[genera]] of Devonian tetrapods have been described. These earliest tetrapods were not terrestrial. They lived in swampy habitats like shallow [[wetland]]s, [[coast]]al [[lagoon]]s, brackish [[river delta]]s, and even shallow [[Ocean|marine]] [[sediment]]s. There is much to suggest that these are the kind of [[environment]]s in which the tetrapods evolved. Also, because fossils of early tetrapods are found widely in the [[Old Red Sandstone]] continent,<ref>formed by the joining of North America and northwestern Europe</ref> they must have spread by following the coastal lines. This means they could not have lived only in freshwater.
Still, they may have spent brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud. The earliest confirmed terrestrial forms are known from the early [[Carboniferous]] deposits, some 20 million years later.
Tetrapods adapted to terrestrial environments over time and spent longer periods away from the water. They also spent more of their juvenile stage on land before returning to the water for the rest of their life. It is also possible that the adults started to spend some time on land to bask in the sunlight, close to the water's edge. The first true tetrapods that were adapted to moving on land were small. Only later did they increase in size.
=== Romer's gap ===
Between the lobe-finned fish tetrapods and the first [[amphibia]] and [[amniote]]s in the Middle [[Carboniferous]] lies a gap of 30 million years, with few satisfactory tetrapod fossils. This, noted in the early 1950s by Alfred Romer, is Romer's gap.<ref>Romer A.S. 1949. ''The Vertebrate Body.'' Saunders, Philadelphia. 2nd ed. 1955; 3rd ed. 1962; 4th ed. 1970</ref> Some new fossils were found in the 1990s, such as ''[[Pederpes]]'', right in the middle of the Romer Gap. The gap still hides details of the transition from fish to tetrapod, but not so much as before.
So far, only two fossil sites from the Tournasian (earliest [[Carboniferous]]) are known. One is Horton Bluff Formation at Blue Beach, [[Nova Scotia]].<ref>Carroll R.L. ''et al.'' 1972. Excursion A59, Vertebrate palaeontology of Eastern Canada. In 24th Int. Geol. Congr. 1–113.</ref><ref>Clack J.A. & Carroll R.L. 2000. in (eds) Heatwole H. & Carroll R.L. ''Amphibian Biology'', vol 4, 1030–1043. Surrey Beatty.</ref> Much of this material has not yet been scientifically described.
The only other place a Tournasian tetrapod was found is near [[Dumbarton]] in the [[West of Scotland]]. The articulated (connected) skeleton of ''[[Pederpes]]'' was found there.<ref>Clack J.A. 2002. An early tetrapod from ‘Romer’s Gap’. ''Nature'' '''418''', 72–76.</ref><ref>Clack J.A. & Finney S.M. 2005. ''Pederpes finneyae'', an articulated tetrapod from the Tournaisian of western Scotland. ''J. Syst. Palaeontol''. '''2''', 311–346.</ref> Now comes news of new finds from this formation in five places in the [[Scottish Borders]].<ref name="five">Clack J.A. ''et al.'' 2016. Phylogenetic and environmental context of a Tournaisian tetrapod fauna. ''Nature Ecology & Evolution'' '''1'''. [http://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-016-0002]</ref> The paper describes five new Tournaisian tetrapods, with information about their habitat.<ref>Briggs, Helen 2016. Scottish fossils tell story of life on land. ''BBC News'' Science & Environment. [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-38186397]</ref>
:"Our analysis shows that the Tournaisian included a rich and diverse assemblage of [[taxa]], which included close relatives of some Devonian forms on the tetrapod stem and [[basal]] members of the [[amphibian]] stem".<ref name=five/>
The authors say
:"Although an [[extinction event]] at the end of the Devonian saw the demise of many archaic fish groups,<ref>Sallan L.C. & Coates M.I. 2010. End-Devonian extinction and a bottleneck in the early evolution of modern jawed vertebrates. ''Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA'' '''107''', 10131–10135.</ref> our studies provide new perspectives on the recovery and diversification of surviving groups that went on to found the basis of modern vertebrate diversity".
Apparently, the split between the [[amphibians]] and the [[amniotes]] came soon after the extinction event as the tetrapods began to recover. "This accords with most molecular dates for the split, which place it at an average of 355 my ago, a date only 4 myr after the end-Devonian".<ref>Hedges S.B. ''et al.'' 2015. Tree of Life reveals clock-like speciation and diversification. ''Mol. Biol. Evol''. '''32''', 835–845.</ref>
=== The cleidoic egg ===
Whereas amphibia lay their eggs in water, all other tetrapods (the [[amniote]]s) lay [[cleidoic egg]]s. These eggs are like private little ponds, protecting and nourishing the embryo until it grows into a hatchling. This was a key evolutionary 'invention', which allowed the amniotes to invade the land. Once the amniotes were truly land animals, there followed a huge [[adaptive radiation]]. This was one of the most significant advances in vertebrate evolution.
=== Stem tetrapods ===
Stem tetrapods are difficult to classify because they lack some or all of the key characteristics of the standard groups.
*Land-dwelling stem tetrapods
Descendants of fishapods which at first lived an amphibious life-style. The amniotes and later amphibia are their descendants. Features: able to support their body on land for long periods; had five fingers and toes (pentadactyl limb) in contrast to their fishapod ancestors. Have not yet developed the characteristic features of the main tetrapod groups.
*Stem tetrapods evolved into:
**[[Amphibia]] > present-day [[Lissamphibia]]
**[[Amniota]]
***[[Sauropsida]] > present-day reptiles and birds
***[[Synapsida]] > present-day mammals
=== Early fossils of stem tetraopds ===
* ''[[Pederpes]]'', an early [[Mississippian]] tetrapod, 359–345 million years ago (mya).
* ''[[Westlothiana]]'', from 350mya, either an early [[amniote]] or a sister group to the amniotes
* ''[[Casineria]]'', from 340 mya, a basal [[amniote]].
* ''[[Protoclepsydrops]]'', from the middle [[Pennsylvanian]], 314 mya, probable earliest [[synapsid]]
* ''[[Hylonomus]]'', from 312 mya, early [[anapsid]] [[sauropsid]]
* ''[[Paleothyris]]'', 312–304 mya, another early [[anapsid]] [[sauropsid]]
* ''[[Archaeothyris]]'', from 306 mya, an early [[synapsid]]
* ''[[Petrolacosaurus]]'', from 302 mya, the first [[diapsid]] [[sauropsid]]
== The tetrapod clade ==
The tetrapod [[clade]] separated from fish in the [[Devonian]]. The amniotes were the earliest to lay cleidoic eggs. The Synapsids (> mammals) and the Sauropsids (> reptiles) are sister clades, and in particular, reptiles did ''not'' give rise to mammals.

=== Living tetrapods ===
[[File:MetoposaurusDorsal.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Flat skull of a typical early amphibian, ''Metopsaurus''.]]
There are three main groups of living ("[[crown group]]") tetrapods. Each group also includes many [[extinct]] groups:
;[[Amphibian|Amphibia]] : [[frog]]s and [[toad]]s, [[salamander|newts and salamanders]], and [[caecilian]]s
;[[Sauropsida]] : [[bird]]s and modern [[reptile]]s
;[[Synapsida]] : [[mammal]]s
[[Snake]]s and other legless reptiles are tetrapods because they are evolved from [[ancestor]]s who had four limbs. This is also true for [[caecilian]]s and [[aquatic]] mammals.

'''''Spider-Man''''' is a 2002 American [[superhero movie]] based on the [[Marvel Comics]] character [[Spider-Man]]. Directed by [[Sam Raimi]] from a screenplay by [[David Koepp]], it's the first movie in Raimi's [[Spider-Man (2002 movie series)|''Spider-Man'' trilogy]] (2002-2007). Produced by [[Columbia Pictures]] and [[Laura Ziskin Productions]] in association with [[Marvel Enterprises]], it stars [[Tobey Maguire]], [[Willem Dafoe]], [[Kirsten Dunst]], [[James Franco]], [[Cliff Robertson]], and [[Rosemary Harris]]. The movie's plotline follows [[Peter Parker (Sam Raimi movie series)|Peter Parker]], an timid teenager who gains his superhuman abilities after he was being bitten by a genetically engineered spider. He adopts the masked persona "Spider-Man" and begins to fight crime in [[New York City]], facing the malevolent [[Norman Osborn (Sam Raimi movie series)|Green Goblin]] in the process.
Development of a live-action Spider-Man movie began in 1975, but it stalled for nearly 25 years due to licensing and financial issues. [[Columbia Pictures]] finally licensed the project for a worldwide release in 1999. Koepp was hired to craft a working screenplay, which was eventually rewritten by [[Scott Rosenberg]] and refined by [[Alvin Sargent]]. Various directors were considered before Raimi was hired in 2000. Filming took place in Los Angeles and New York City from January to June 2001. [[Danny Elfman]] composed the musical score, while [[Sony Pictures Imageworks]] handled the visual effects.<ref name="imageworks">{{cite web |title=About |url=https://www.imageworks.com/about |access-date=February 8, 2019 |website=[[Sony Pictures Imageworks]] |publisher=[[Sony Pictures|Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc.]] |archive-date=February 4, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190204073242/https://www.imageworks.com/about |url-status=live }}</ref>

Maguire and Dafoe later reprised their respective roles in ''[[Spider-Man: No Way Home]]'' (2021), which explores in the concept of the [[Multiverse (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|multiverse]] and links up the Raimi trilogy to the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]].
== Plot ==
[[Peter Parker (Sam Raimi movie series)|Peter Parker]] is a very smart [[teenager]], who lives with his [[Aunt May]] and [[Uncle Ben]] Peter has loved his next-door neighbor, Mary Jane since they were children. Peter is bullied at school by the other teenagers, but is defended by his best friend Harry Osborn. On a school trip, Peter is bitten by a [[spider]] that has been mutated by scientists. Tired, he runs home and goes straight to bed.
Meanwhile, Harry's father Norman Osborn is in trouble. Norman is the leader of his own company, named Oscorp. Oscorp does science studies and makes equipment for the military. They are working on a device that will allow someone to fly, as well as a new chemical formula that will make a person stronger. Norman is ready to test the formula on humans, but his fellow scientists say that the formula is still too dangerous. With no test subjects to work with, Norman decides to test the formula on himself. The formula mames Norman stronger and faster, but it drives him insane.
After waking up, Peter discovers that his eyesight has been fixed over night. He also finds out that his body has become much more muscular, and is happy to see such a sudden change. After being late for the bus, he easily catches up to it with his new super speed, and his hand sticks to a banner on the bus, accidentally ripping it off.
At school, Peter is eating lunch in the school cafeteria, but discovers that a fork is stuck to his wrist. While trying to get it off, he accidentally shoots a web from his wrist, sticking onto a lunch tray. He pulls it back, and it hits his bully Flash Thompson. Peter quickly leaves, but is attacked by Flash. However, Peter easily defeats him, and beats him up. Harry is amazed that Peter stands up for himself, but Mary Jane is shocked.
Later, the executive board of Oscorp kicks Norman from the company, saying he could ruin Oscorp. Norman steals the flying device and becomes the Green Goblin, attacking rival companies with his new powers. However, he begins to suffer from hallucinations, and a voice in his speaks to him as the Green Goblin, influencing Norman to do evil things.
Peter later signs up to enter a wrestling match to win a large cash reward, wanting to buy a car to impress Mary Jane. Uncle Ben tells Peter that with great power comes great responsibility. Peter ignores Uncle Ben and uses his powers to win the wrestling competition, However, the owner does not pay Peter the full amount, and Peter leaves in anger. A criminal steals all of the owner's money and runs off. Peter does not try to catch the criminal, as revenge for not getting paid as much as he wanted.
Outside, Peter notices a crowd, only to find Uncle Ben shot. Happy to see his nephew, Uncle Ben dies in Peter's arms. Peter angrily sets off to capture the killer, chasing him to an abandoned warehouse. He is horrified to find out that the man who killed Uncle Ben is the same criminal he refused to stop. The criminal falls through a window and dies, and Peter escapes.
After making a costume, Peter becomes [[Spider-Man]] and vows to fight crime, using Ben's words to their fullest. Peter takes a job as a photographer at the ''Daily Bugle,'' selling photos to [[J. Jonah Jameson]], who hates Spider-Man and makes him look bad in the paper. Peter takes photos of himself in his costume and sells them to Jonah, who is more than happy to take them from Peter.
Later, Peter attends a parade as a photographer for the Bugle, but the Green Goblin attacks, and kills the Oscorp board members. Spider-Man shows up and defeats the Goblin, sending his glider out of control, and him into the distance. Spider-Man rescues Mary Jane from falling, and she asks who he is. He tells her that he's your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, before leaving.
Later, the Green Goblin attacks the Daily Bugle and demands that Jonah tell him who takes Spider-Man's photos. Jonah lies and tells him he doesn't know, until Spider-Man shows up. The Green Goblin uses a gas to knock him out, and brings Spider-Man to a rooftop. After he wakes up, he tells Spider-Man that they should work together, and that despite his heroic actions, the city will eventually hate Spider-Man. He leaves, after giving Spider-Man a choice to work with him, or die.
A building goes up in fire, and a woman screams that her baby is still inside. Spider-Man rescues the baby and goes to leave, before being stopped by a police officer, who goes to arrest Spider-Man. He goes to arrest him, but lets Spider-Man go to save another person from the building. The person turns out to be the Green Goblin in disguise, and he demands that Spider-Man give him an answer to his request for a partnership. Spider-Man refuses, and the two fight. After getting cut, Spider-Man leaves the building.
Later, Norman, Harry, Mary Jane and Aunt May meet at Peter's apartment for [[Thanksgiving]]. Peter arrives late and enters through his window as Spider-Man, but hides from his friends and family as they enter his room. Peter later joins them for dinner, and they go to say prayers. However, Norman notices a cut on Peter's arm, identical to one given by the Green Goblin. Norman realises that Peter is Spider-Man, and leaves in a hurry.
He attacks Aunt May in her home and scares hee so badly that she has to go to the [[hospital]]. There, Peter realizes that the Green Goblin knows he is Spider-Man and that he Mary Jane, knowing he will attack her next. When Peter calls her on the phone, the Green Goblin reves he has already taken her, and tells Peter to meet him at a bridge. Spider-Man goes to the bridge and finds the Green Goblin has Mary Jane in one arm and a group of kids in a cart in the other hand. The Green Goblin forces Spider-Man to choose between saving the person he loves or saving the innocent children. He then drops both at once. Spider-Man grabs Mary Jane first and uses his webbing to save the kids at the last second. The Green Goblin is angry and attacks Spider-Man, but a crowd of New Yorkers start to protect Spider-Man, throwing trash and knocking the Green Goblin off balance. The Green Goblin then grabs Spider-Man and throws him into an abandoned building.
The Green Goblin is brutal, and visciously beats up Spider-Man, cutting and bruising him, as well as setting off an explosion in fromt of him. Spider-Man spins a web to trap the Green Goblin, but it does nothing. After being knocked into a wall, Spider-Man tries to shoot another web, but his hand is stood on by the Green Goblin. He tells Spider-Man that after killing him, he'll make sure that Mary Jane suffers a slow and painful death. He then takes his glider and attempts to stab Spider-Man with it, but he resists, and throws the Green Goblin back. Spider-Man beats him up and pulls down a brick wall on him. Angry beyond measure, Spider-Man punches the Green Goblin over and over again, but the Goblin reveals that he is Norman Osborn.
Norman distracts Peter, and secretly presses a button on his suit, making his glider slowly rise up behind him. Trying one last time to make Spider-Man his partner, Norman pleads for Peter to be a son to him. Spider-Man refuses, saying his father was Ben Parker. Norman then tries to kill Peter by sending the glider flying into him, but using his spider-sense, Peter senses the glider and dodges it, causing it to crash into Norman, stabbing him through the waist. Groaning in pain, Norman asks that Peter not tell Harry he was the Green Goblin, and dies.
During the Norman's funeral, Harry swears to Petwe that Spider-Man will die, believing that Spider-Man killed his father. Mary Jane tells Peter that she loves him, but fearing that his enemies will attack her again, he refuses her confession. Leaving, Peter resolves that he is Spider-Man and swings through the city as its new protector.

== Production ==
A trailer containing original footage was shown for screenings of the 2002 movie [[Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within]]. The trailer shows a group of bank robbers flying in a helicopter and land on a giant web between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. The trailer was later taken down following the [[September 11 attacks]]. As a response, a scene where New Yorkers throw food at the Green Goblin and wave their flags while yelling "You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us" was added for reshoots, to emphasise unity following the attack.
== Reception ==
After the movie was kept from being made for almost 25 years, it was shown in [[movie theatre|theaters]] on May 3, 2002. [[movie critic|Critics]] liked it a lot and it broke many movie records. It made more money than any other movie in 2001. Two sequels have been made, ''[[Spider-Man 2]]'' (2004) and ''[[Spider-Man 3]]'' (2007).

== Plot ==
On a high school field trip, [[Peter Parker (Sam Raimi movie series)|Peter Parker]] visits a [[Columbia University]] genetics laboratory with his best friend, [[Harry Osborn (Sam Raimi movie series)|Harry Osborn]], and his love interest, [[Mary Jane Watson (Sam Raimi movies)|Mary Jane Watson]]. There, he is bitten by a [[Genetic engineering|genetically engineered]] spider, and falls ill upon returning home. Meanwhile, Harry's father, [[Norman Osborn (Sam Raimi movie series)|Norman Osborn]], tests a performance-enhancing chemical on himself in an attempt to secure a military contract for [[Oscorp]], the company he founded. The chemical gives him superhuman strength but causes him to go insane and kills one of his own scientists.
The next day, Peter develops spider-like abilities, including enhanced strength, senses, agility, and speed; organic webbing in his wrists; and the ability to cling to walls. Hoping to buy a car to impress Mary Jane, Peter enters into an underground wrestling event and wins his first match, but is swindled out of his earnings. Soon after, Peter's [[Uncle Ben]] is killed by a [[Burglar (comics)|thief]] who robbed the event, and whom Peter let escape. Peter pursues the thief, who eventually falls to his death. Meanwhile, a crazed Norman sabotages a project test by an Oscorp rival and kills several people.
Upon graduating, Peter begins to use his abilities in fighting crime, donning a costuming and adopting the alias [[Spider-Man]]. [[J. Jonah Jameson (2002 movie series character)|J. Jonah Jameson]], the publisher of the ''[[Daily Bugle]]'' newspaper, hires Peter as a freelance photographer, since he can provide high-quality images of Spider-Man. When Oscorp's board of directors decides to oust Norman and sell the company, Norman uses a disguise to assassinate them during the Unity Day festival. As Spider-Man, Peter fends off Norman and rescues Mary Jane. Afterwards, Jameson bestows the name the [[Green Goblin]] upon the mysterious masked killer.
Norman offers Peter a place at his side, but Peter refuses. They fight, and Peter flees after he's being wounded. Peter's [[Aunt May]] invites Mary Jane, Harry, and Norman for Thanksgiving dinner. However, Norman notices Peter's injury and deduces that he's Spider-Man. Later, Norman attacks and injures May, who is hospitalized. Unfortunately, Peter is still unaware of the Goblin's identity, but realizes that the Goblin is targeting on his loved ones. While visiting the hospital, Mary Jane confesses to Peter her infatuation with Spider-Man, who has rescued her twice. Harry, who is dating Mary Jane, sees her holding Peter's hand and assumes she has feelings for him. A distraught Harry tells his father about Peter's infatuation with Mary Jane.
That night, Norman captures Mary Jane and a [[Roosevelt Island Tramway]] car full of children. He tells Peter to choose whom to rescue, then drops them both from the [[Queensboro Bridge]]. Peter saves everyone, then lowers them onto a nearby barge for safety. An enraged Norman throws Peter into a nearby abandoned building, then brutally beats him. After Norman reveals his intentions to kill Mary Jane, Peter finds the strength to fight back. Norman reveals his identity and begs forgiveness, discreetly preparing to impale Peter with his glider. Warned by his spider-sense, Peter dodges the attack, and the glider fatally skewers Norman instead. Before dying, Norman begs Peter not to reveal his identity to Harry. Peter takes Norman's body to the Osborn house, where Harry confronts him, but Peter escapes.
At Norman's funeral, Harry vows revenge on Spider-Man, whom he mistakenly believes killed his father. Mary Jane confesses to Peter that she loves him. However, Peter feels that he must protect her from his enemies, so he hides his true feelings and tells her that they can only be friends. As Peter leaves, he recalls his uncle's words: "[[With great power comes great responsibility]]."

== Plot ==
On a high school field trip, [[Peter Parker (Sam Raimi movie series)|Peter Parker]] visits a [[Columbia University]] genetics laboratory with his best friend, [[Harry Osborn (Sam Raimi movie series)|Harry Osborn]], and his love interest, [[Mary Jane Watson (Sam Raimi movies)|Mary Jane Watson]]. There, he is bitten by a [[Genetic engineering|genetically engineered]] spider, and falls ill upon returning home. Meanwhile, Harry's father, [[Norman Osborn (Sam Raimi movie series)|Norman Osborn]], tests a performance-enhancing chemical on himself in an attempt to secure a military contract for [[Oscorp]], the company he founded. The chemical gives him superhuman strength but causes him to go insane and kills one of his own scientists.
The next day, Peter develops spider-like abilities, including enhanced strength, senses, agility, and speed; organic webbing in his wrists; and the ability to cling to walls. Hoping to buy a car to impress Mary Jane, Peter enters into an underground wrestling event and wins his first match, but is swindled out of his earnings. Soon after, Peter's [[Uncle Ben]] is killed by a [[Burglar (comics)|thief]] who robbed the event, and whom Peter let escape. Peter pursues the thief, who eventually falls to his death. Meanwhile, a crazed Norman sabotages a project test by an Oscorp rival and kills several people.
Upon graduating, Peter begins to use his abilities in fighting crime, donning a costuming and adopting the alias [[Spider-Man]]. [[J. Jonah Jameson (2002 movie series character)|J. Jonah Jameson]], the publisher of the ''[[Daily Bugle]]'' newspaper, hires Peter as a freelance photographer, since he can provide high-quality images of Spider-Man. When Oscorp's board of directors decides to oust Norman and sell the company, Norman uses a disguise to assassinate them during the Unity Day festival. As Spider-Man, Peter fends off Norman and rescues Mary Jane. Afterwards, Jameson bestows the name the [[Green Goblin]] upon the mysterious masked killer.
Norman offers Peter a place at his side, but Peter refuses. They fight, and Peter flees after he's being wounded. Peter's [[Aunt May]] invites Mary Jane, Harry, and Norman for Thanksgiving dinner. However, Norman notices Peter's injury and deduces that he's Spider-Man. Later, Norman attacks and injures May, who is hospitalized. Unfortunately, Peter is still unaware of the Goblin's identity, but realizes that the Goblin is targeting on his loved ones. While visiting the hospital, Mary Jane confesses to Peter her infatuation with Spider-Man, who has rescued her twice. Harry, who is dating Mary Jane, sees her holding Peter's hand and assumes she has feelings for him. A distraught Harry tells his father about Peter's infatuation with Mary Jane.
That night, Norman captures Mary Jane and a [[Roosevelt Island Tramway]] car full of children. He tells Peter to choose whom to rescue, then drops them both from the [[Queensboro Bridge]]. Peter saves everyone, then lowers them onto a nearby barge for safety. An enraged Norman throws Peter into a nearby abandoned building, then brutally beats him. After Norman reveals his intentions to kill Mary Jane, Peter finds the strength to fight back. Norman reveals his identity and begs forgiveness, discreetly preparing to impale Peter with his glider. Warned by his spider-sense, Peter dodges the attack, and the glider fatally skewers Norman instead. Before dying, Norman begs Peter not to reveal his identity to Harry. Peter takes Norman's body to the Osborn house, where Harry confronts him, but Peter escapes.
At Norman's funeral, Harry vows revenge on Spider-Man, whom he mistakenly believes killed his father. Mary Jane confesses to Peter that she loves him. However, Peter feels that he must protect her from his enemies, so he hides his true feelings and tells her that they can only be friends. As Peter leaves, he recalls his uncle's words: "[[With great power comes great responsibility]]."

'''''Spider-Man''''' is a 2002 American [[superhero movie]]. It was made from the story of the [[Marvel Comics]] [[superhero]], [[Spider-Man]]. It was the first in the ''Spider-Man'' movie series. It was [[Screenplay|written]] by David Koepp and [[movie director|directed]] by [[Sam Raimi]]. [[Tobey Maguire]] stars as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. [[Kirsten Dunst]] plays the girl Peter loves, [[Mary-Jane Watson]] and [[Willem Dafoe]] plays the bad guy, Norman Osborn; the [[Green Goblin]].
== Plot ==
[[Peter Parker (Sam Raimi movie series)|Peter Parker]] is a very smart [[teenager]], who lives with his [[Aunt May]] and [[Uncle Ben]] Peter has loved his next-door neighbor, Mary Jane since they were children. Peter is bullied at school by the other teenagers, but is defended by his best friend Harry Osborn. On a school trip, Peter is bitten by a [[spider]] that has been mutated by scientists. Tired, he runs home and goes straight to bed.
Meanwhile, Harry's father Norman Osborn is in trouble. Norman is the leader of his own company, named Oscorp. Oscorp does science studies and makes equipment for the military. They are working on a device that will allow someone to fly, as well as a new chemical formula that will make a person stronger. Norman is ready to test the formula on humans, but his fellow scientists say that the formula is still too dangerous. With no test subjects to work with, Norman decides to test the formula on himself. The formula mames Norman stronger and faster, but it drives him insane.
After waking up, Peter discovers that his eyesight has been fixed over night. He also finds out that his body has become much more muscular, and is happy to see such a sudden change. After being late for the bus, he easily catches up to it with his new super speed, and his hand sticks to a banner on the bus, accidentally ripping it off.
At school, Peter is eating lunch in the school cafeteria, but discovers that a fork is stuck to his wrist. While trying to get it off, he accidentally shoots a web from his wrist, sticking onto a lunch tray. He pulls it back, and it hits his bully Flash Thompson. Peter quickly leaves, but is attacked by Flash. However, Peter easily defeats him, and beats him up. Harry is amazed that Peter stands up for himself, but Mary Jane is shocked.
Later, the executive board of Oscorp kicks Norman from the company, saying he could ruin Oscorp. Norman steals the flying device and becomes the Green Goblin, attacking rival companies with his new powers. However, he begins to suffer from hallucinations, and a voice in his speaks to him as the Green Goblin, influencing Norman to do evil things.
Peter later signs up to enter a wrestling match to win a large cash reward, wanting to buy a car to impress Mary Jane. Uncle Ben tells Peter that with great power comes great responsibility. Peter ignores Uncle Ben and uses his powers to win the wrestling competition, However, the owner does not pay Peter the full amount, and Peter leaves in anger. A criminal steals all of the owner's money and runs off. Peter does not try to catch the criminal, as revenge for not getting paid as much as he wanted.
Outside, Peter notices a crowd, only to find Uncle Ben shot. Happy to see his nephew, Uncle Ben dies in Peter's arms. Peter angrily sets off to capture the killer, chasing him to an abandoned warehouse. He is horrified to find out that the man who killed Uncle Ben is the same criminal he refused to stop. The criminal falls through a window and dies, and Peter escapes.
After making a costume, Peter becomes [[Spider-Man]] and vows to fight crime, using Ben's words to their fullest. Peter takes a job as a photographer at the ''Daily Bugle,'' selling photos to [[J. Jonah Jameson]], who hates Spider-Man and makes him look bad in the paper. Peter takes photos of himself in his costume and sells them to Jonah, who is more than happy to take them from Peter.
Later, Peter attends a parade as a photographer for the Bugle, but the Green Goblin attacks, and kills the Oscorp board members. Spider-Man shows up and defeats the Goblin, sending his glider out of control, and him into the distance. Spider-Man rescues Mary Jane from falling, and she asks who he is. He tells her that he's your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, before leaving.
Later, the Green Goblin attacks the Daily Bugle and demands that Jonah tell him who takes Spider-Man's photos. Jonah lies and tells him he doesn't know, until Spider-Man shows up. The Green Goblin uses a gas to knock him out, and brings Spider-Man to a rooftop. After he wakes up, he tells Spider-Man that they should work together, and that despite his heroic actions, the city will eventually hate Spider-Man. He leaves, after giving Spider-Man a choice to work with him, or die.
A building goes up in fire, and a woman screams that her baby is still inside. Spider-Man rescues the baby and goes to leave, before being stopped by a police officer, who goes to arrest Spider-Man. He goes to arrest him, but lets Spider-Man go to save another person from the building. The person turns out to be the Green Goblin in disguise, and he demands that Spider-Man give him an answer to his request for a partnership. Spider-Man refuses, and the two fight. After getting cut, Spider-Man leaves the building.
Later, Norman, Harry, Mary Jane and Aunt May meet at Peter's apartment for [[Thanksgiving]]. Peter arrives late and enters through his window as Spider-Man, but hides from his friends and family as they enter his room. Peter later joins them for dinner, and they go to say prayers. However, Norman notices a cut on Peter's arm, identical to one given by the Green Goblin. Norman realises that Peter is Spider-Man, and leaves in a hurry.
He attacks Aunt May in her home and scares hee so badly that she has to go to the [[hospital]]. There, Peter realizes that the Green Goblin knows he is Spider-Man and that he Mary Jane, knowing he will attack her next. When Peter calls her on the phone, the Green Goblin reves he has already taken her, and tells Peter to meet him at a bridge. Spider-Man goes to the bridge and finds the Green Goblin has Mary Jane in one arm and a group of kids in a cart in the other hand. The Green Goblin forces Spider-Man to choose between saving the person he loves or saving the innocent children. He then drops both at once. Spider-Man grabs Mary Jane first and uses his webbing to save the kids at the last second. The Green Goblin is angry and attacks Spider-Man, but a crowd of New Yorkers start to protect Spider-Man, throwing trash and knocking the Green Goblin off balance. The Green Goblin then grabs Spider-Man and throws him into an abandoned building.
The Green Goblin is brutal, and visciously beats up Spider-Man, cutting and bruising him, as well as setting off an explosion in fromt of him. Spider-Man spins a web to trap the Green Goblin, but it does nothing. After being knocked into a wall, Spider-Man tries to shoot another web, but his hand is stood on by the Green Goblin. He tells Spider-Man that after killing him, he'll make sure that Mary Jane suffers a slow and painful death. He then takes his glider and attempts to stab Spider-Man with it, but he resists, and throws the Green Goblin back. Spider-Man beats him up and pulls down a brick wall on him. Angry beyond measure, Spider-Man punches the Green Goblin over and over again, but the Goblin reveals that he is Norman Osborn.
Norman distracts Peter, and secretly presses a button on his suit, making his glider slowly rise up behind him. Trying one last time to make Spider-Man his partner, Norman pleads for Peter to be a son to him. Spider-Man refuses, saying his father was Ben Parker. Norman then tries to kill Peter by sending the glider flying into him, but using his spider-sense, Peter senses the glider and dodges it, causing it to crash into Norman, stabbing him through the waist. Groaning in pain, Norman asks that Peter not tell Harry he was the Green Goblin, and dies.
During the Norman's funeral, Harry swears to Petwe that Spider-Man will die, believing that Spider-Man killed his father. Mary Jane tells Peter that she loves him, but fearing that his enemies will attack her again, he refuses her confession. Leaving, Peter resolves that he is Spider-Man and swings through the city as its new protector.
== Production ==
A trailer containing original footage was shown for screenings of the 2002 movie [[Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within]]. The trailer shows a group of bank robbers flying in a helicopter and land on a giant web between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. The trailer was later taken down following the [[September 11 attacks]]. As a response, a scene where New Yorkers throw food at the Green Goblin and wave their flags while yelling "You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us" was added for reshoots, to emphasise unity following the attack.

== Plot ==
{{Plot|date=June 2026}}
[[Peter Parker (Sam Raimi movie series)|Peter Parker]] is a very smart [[teenager]], who lives with his [[Aunt May]] and [[Uncle Ben]] Peter has loved his next-door neighbor, Mary Jane since they were children. Peter is bullied at school by the other teenagers, but is defended by his best friend Harry Osborn. On a school trip, Peter is bitten by a [[spider]] that has been mutated by scientists. Tired, he runs home and goes straight to bed.
Meanwhile, Harry's father Norman Osborn is in trouble. Norman is the leader of his own company, named Oscorp. Oscorp does science studies and makes equipment for the military. They are working on a device that will allow someone to fly, as well as a new chemical formula that will make a person stronger. Norman is ready to test the formula on humans, but his fellow scientists say that the formula is still too dangerous. With no test subjects to work with, Norman decides to test the formula on himself. The formula mames Norman stronger and faster, but it drives him insane.
After waking up, Peter discovers that his eyesight has been fixed over night. He also finds out that his body has become much more muscular, and is happy to see such a sudden change. After being late for the bus, he easily catches up to it with his new super speed, and his hand sticks to a banner on the bus, accidentally ripping it off.
At school, Peter is eating lunch in the school cafeteria, but discovers that a fork is stuck to his wrist. While trying to get it off, he accidentally shoots a web from his wrist, sticking onto a lunch tray. He pulls it back, and it hits his bully Flash Thompson. Peter quickly leaves, but is attacked by Flash. However, Peter easily defeats him, and beats him up. Harry is amazed that Peter stands up for himself, but Mary Jane is shocked.
Later, the executive board of Oscorp kicks Norman from the company, saying he could ruin Oscorp. Norman steals the flying device and becomes the Green Goblin, attacking rival companies with his new powers. However, he begins to suffer from hallucinations, and a voice in his speaks to him as the Green Goblin, influencing Norman to do evil things.
Peter later signs up to enter a wrestling match to win a large cash reward, wanting to buy a car to impress Mary Jane. Uncle Ben tells Peter that with great power comes great responsibility. Peter ignores Uncle Ben and uses his powers to win the wrestling competition, However, the owner does not pay Peter the full amount, and Peter leaves in anger. A criminal steals all of the owner's money and runs off. Peter does not try to catch the criminal, as revenge for not getting paid as much as he wanted.
Outside, Peter notices a crowd, only to find Uncle Ben shot. Happy to see his nephew, Uncle Ben dies in Peter's arms. Peter angrily sets off to capture the killer, chasing him to an abandoned warehouse. He is horrified to find out that the man who killed Uncle Ben is the same criminal he refused to stop. The criminal falls through a window and dies, and Peter escapes.
After making a costume, Peter becomes [[Spider-Man]] and vows to fight crime, using Ben's words to their fullest. Peter takes a job as a photographer at the ''Daily Bugle,'' selling photos to [[J. Jonah Jameson]], who hates Spider-Man and makes him look bad in the paper. Peter takes photos of himself in his costume and sells them to Jonah, who is more than happy to take them from Peter.
Later, Peter attends a parade as a photographer for the Bugle, but the Green Goblin attacks, and kills the Oscorp board members. Spider-Man shows up and defeats the Goblin, sending his glider out of control, and him into the distance. Spider-Man rescues Mary Jane from falling, and she asks who he is. He tells her that he's your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, before leaving.
Later, the Green Goblin attacks the Daily Bugle and demands that Jonah tell him who takes Spider-Man's photos. Jonah lies and tells him he doesn't know, until Spider-Man shows up. The Green Goblin uses a gas to knock him out, and brings Spider-Man to a rooftop. After he wakes up, he tells Spider-Man that they should work together, and that despite his heroic actions, the city will eventually hate Spider-Man. He leaves, after giving Spider-Man a choice to work with him, or die.
A building goes up in fire, and a woman screams that her baby is still inside. Spider-Man rescues the baby and goes to leave, before being stopped by a police officer, who goes to arrest Spider-Man. He goes to arrest him, but lets Spider-Man go to save another person from the building. The person turns out to be the Green Goblin in disguise, and he demands that Spider-Man give him an answer to his request for a partnership. Spider-Man refuses, and the two fight. After getting cut, Spider-Man leaves the building.

A '''cockatoo''' is any of the 21 [[species]] belonging to the bird [[family (biology)|family]] Cacatuidae, the only family in the superfamily Cacatuoidea. Along with the Psittacoidea ([[true parrots]]) and the Strigopoidea ([[New Zealand parrot]]s), they make up the [[order (biology)|order]] Psittaciformes (parrots).
The name ''cockatoo'' comes from the [[Malay language|Malay]] name for these birds, ''kaka(k)tua'', via the [[Dutch language|Dutch]] ''kaketoe''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cockatoo |work=American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language. 4th ed |publisher=Houghton Mifflin Company |year=2000 |url=http://bartleby.com/61/42/C0444200.html |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050405170358/http://bartleby.com/61/42/C0444200.html |archivedate=2005-04-05 |accessdate=30 June 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Cockatoo |work=Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary |publisher=Merriam-Webster |url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cockatoo?show=0&t=1372604385 |accessdate=30 June 2013}}</ref>
Cockatoos are recognisable by the showy [[Crest (feathers)|crests]] and curved and strong [[beak|bills]]. Their [[plumage]] is generally less colourful than that of other parrots, being mainly white, grey or black and often with coloured features in the crest, cheeks or [[tail]]. On average they are larger than other parrots; however, the [[Cockatiel]], the smallest cockatoo species, is a small bird.
==Distribution and habitat==
Cockatoos have a much more restricted range than the true parrots, occurring naturally only in [[Australasia]].<ref name ="ian">{{Cite book |first=Ian |last=Rowley |editor1=del Hoyo, Josep|editor2=Elliott, Andrew| editor3=Sargatal, Jordi |contribution=Family Cacatuidae (Cockatoos) |title= Handbook of the Birds of the World.

Interestingly, no cockatoo species are found in [[Borneo]] (despite their presence on nearby [[Palawan]] and [[Sulawesi]]) or many Pacific islands, although fossil remains have been recorded from [[New Caledonia]].<ref name=Steadman06>{{Cite book |last=Steadman |first=D |authorlink= |title=Extinction and Biogeography of Tropical Pacific Birds |url=https://archive.org/details/extinctionbiogeo0000stea |publisher= University of Chicago Press |year=2006 |location =Chicago |page =[https://archive.org/details/extinctionbiogeo0000stea/page/348 348] |isbn=978-0-226-77142-7 }}</ref>

Cockatoos occupy a wide range of [[habitat]]s, from [[forest]]s in [[subalpine zone]]s to [[mangrove]]s. However, no species is found in all types of habitat. The most widespread species, such as the Galah and Cockatiel, are open-country specialists that feed on grass seeds. Other cockatoo species, such as the Glossy Black Cockatoo, inhabit [[woodland]]s, [[rainforest]]s, [[Scrubland|shrubland]]s and even forests with an alpine [[climate]]. The [[Philippine Cockatoo]] inhabits mangroves. Several species have adapted well to human modified habitats and are found in agricultural areas and even busy cities.<ref name = "Temby">{{cite conference |first=Ian |last=Temby |year=1999 |title=Urban wildlife issues in Australia |conference=Proceedings of The 4th International Symposium On Urban Wildlife Conservation |conference-url=http://cals.arizona.edu/pubs/adjunct/snr0704/ |editor=Williams Shaw, Lisa Harris & Larry Vandruff. |publisher=University of Arizona |location=Tucson, Arizona |url=http://cals.arizona.edu/pubs/adjunct/snr0704/snr07041d.pdf |accessdate=1 July 2013 |archive-date=27 September 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927063500/http://cals.arizona.edu/pubs/adjunct/snr0704/snr07041d.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>
==Taxonomy==
The cockatoos were first defined as a subfamily Cacatuinae within the parrot family Psittacidae by the English naturalist [[George Robert Gray]] in 1840, with ''Cacatua'' the first listed and type [[genus]].<ref name="Gray1840">{{cite book |last =Gray |first=George Robert |title =A List of the Genera of Birds, with an indication of the typical species of each genus |volume= |publisher = |location = |year =1840 |page=53 | isbn = }} Available on line in [https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/13668970 Biodiversity Heritage Library]</ref> This group has alternately been considered as either a full family or a subfamily by different authorities. The American ornithologist [[James Lee Peters]] in his 1937 ''Check-list of Birds of the World'', [[Charles Sibley|Sibley]] and [[Burt Monroe|Monroe]] in 1990 maintained it as a subfamily, while parrot expert [[Joseph Forshaw]] classified it as a family in 1973.<ref name="harvnb">{{cite book |last1 =Christidis |first1=Les |last2=Boles |first2=Walter |title =Systematics and taxonomy of Australian birds |volume= |publisher=CSIRO Pub |location=Collingwood, VIC, Australia |year =2008 |pages= | isbn=978-0-643-06511-6 }}</ref> Subsequent molecular studies indicate that the earliest offshoot from the original parrot ancestors were the New Zealand parrots of the family [[Strigopidae]], and following this the cockatoos, now a well-defined group or [[clade]], split off from the remaining parrots, which then radiated across the southern hemisphere and diversified into the many species of parrots, parakeets, macaws, lories, lorikeets, lovebirds and other [[true parrots]] of the family Psittacidae.<ref name="White">{{cite journal|title=The evolutionary history of cockatoos (Aves: Psittaciformes: Cacatuidae)|journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution|year=2011|volume=59|pages=615–622|author=Nicole E.

==Morphology==
[[File:Callocephalon fimbriatum (pair) -NSW -Australia-8.jpg|thumb|left|A pair of [[Gang-gang Cockatoo]]s in NSW, Australia (male with red head feathers).|alt=Two grey cockatoos on a lichen-covered tree branch. The red crested male is on the left.]]
The cockatoos are mostly medium to large parrots with a heavy, compact body. They range from {{convert|30|–|60|cm|in|abbr=on}} in length and {{convert|300|–|1200|g|lb|abbr=on}} in weight. However, one species, the Cockatiel, is considerably smaller and slimmer than the other species, being {{convert|32|cm|in|abbr=on}} long (including its long pointed tail feathers) and {{convert|80|–|100|g|lb|abbr=on}} in weight.<ref name=Cam1 />
The movable [[Crest (feathers)|headcrest]], which is present in all cockatoos, is spectacular in many species; it is raised when the bird lands from flying or when it is aroused.
Cockatoos share many features with other parrots, including the characteristic curved beak shape and a [[zygodactyl]] foot, with the two middle toes forward and the two outer toes backward.<ref name=Cam2>{{Cite book |last=Cameron |first=Matt |title =Cockatoos | publisher =CSIRO Pub |location=Collingwood, VIC, Australia |year=2007 |pages=67–69 |isbn=978-0-7641-0688-0 }}</ref> They differ however in a number of characteristics, including the presence of a [[gallbladder]], some other anatomical details and their lack of the structures in the feathers which cause the bright blues and greens seen in true parrots.<ref name=Cam1 />
Like other parrots, cockatoos have short legs and strong [[claw]]s,<ref name=Cam1/> and often use their strong bill as a third limb when climbing through branches. They generally have long broad wings used in rapid flight, with speeds up to {{convert|70|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} being recorded for galahs.<ref name=Cam2 /> The members of the genus ''Calyptorhynchus'' and larger white cockatoos, such as the [[Sulphur-crested Cockatoo]] and [[Major Mitchell's Cockatoo]], have shorter, rounder wings and a more leisurely flight.<ref name=Cam2 />
==Behaviour==
[[File:Cacatua tenuirostris -Joondalup-8-3c.jpg|left|thumb|Feral [[Long-billed Corella]]s in [[Perth, Western Australia|Perth]]. The bird on the right is using its long beak to dig for food in short grass.|alt=Two mainly white-plumaged cockatoos on what appears to be a lawn. One cockatoo is standing upright and has a long upper mandible and orange-pink feathers its face and chest. The other cockatoo has its head in the grass with its bill not visible.]]
Cockatoos are active mainly during the day and require [[daylight]] to find their food. They eat a range of mainly vegetable food items. [[Seed]]s form a large part of the [[Diet (nutrition)|diet]] of all species; these are opened with their large and powerful bills. The Galahs, corellas and some of the black cockatoos feed primarily on the ground; others feed mostly in trees.
Like most parrots, the cockatoos are made their [[Bird nest|nests]] in holes in trees,<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Nesting habitat of the glossy black-cockatoo in central New South Wales |url=https://archive.org/details/sim_biological-conservation_2006-02_127_4/page/402 |journal=Biological Conservation|year= 2006| first=M|last =Cameron| volume=127 |issue=4|pages=402–10 |doi=10.1016/j.biocon.2005.08.019}}</ref> which they are unable to excavate themselves. These [[:wikt:hollow|hollows]] are formed from decay or destruction of wood by branches breaking off, [[Fungus|fungi]] or insects such as [[termite]]s or even [[woodpecker]]s where their ranges overlap. In many places these holes are scarce and the source of competition, both with other members of the same species and with other species and types of [[animal]].<ref>{{Cite journal|title= Overlap and competition for nest holes among eclectus parrots, palm cockatoos and sulphur-crested cockatoos|url= https://archive.org/details/sim_australian-journal-of-zoology_2003_51_1/page/81|journal=Australian Journal of Zoology|volume=51|issue=1|pages=81–94 |doi=10.1071/ZO02003|year= 2003|last1= Heinsohn|first1= Robert|last2= Murphy|first2= Stephen|last3= Legge|first3= Sarah}}</ref> In general, cockatoos choose hollows only a little larger than themselves, hence different-sized species nest in holes of corresponding (and different) sizes.
The female lays two white eggs on small pieces of wood. The young, which is born naked and blind, is fed by the adults with partially [[Digestion|digested]] food for about three months.
===Status and conservation===
[[File:Cacatua haematuropygia -two captive-8a.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Red-vented Cockatoo]] is a [[critically endangered species]] endemic to the [[Philippines]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/speciesfactsheet.php?id=1403 |publisher=BirdLife International |title=Philippine Cockatoo – BirdLife Species Factsheet |accessdate=1 July 2013 |archive-date=13 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110513235423/http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/speciesfactsheet.php?id=1403 |url-status=dead }}</ref>|alt=Two mainly white-plumaged cockatoos in a cage]]
According to the [[IUCN]] and [[BirdLife International]], seven species of cockatoo are considered to be [[Vulnerable species|vulnerable]] or worse and one is considered to be [[Near Threatened|near threatened]]. Of these, two species—the [[Philippine Cockatoo]] (or Red-vented Cockatoo) and the [[Yellow-crested Cockatoo]]—are considered to be [[Critically endangered species|critically endangered]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/speciessearchresults.php?reg=&cty=&cri=&fam=67&gen=0&spc=&cmn=cockatoo&hab=&thr=&bt=&rec=N&vag=N&hdnAction=ADV_SEARCH&SearchTerms= |title=Data Zone: Search Species: Cockatoo |accessdate=1 July 2013 |publisher=Birdlife International |year= |archive-date=12 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120112203834/http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/speciessearchresults.php?reg=&cty=&cri=&fam=67&gen=0&spc=&cmn=cockatoo&hab=&thr=&bt=&rec=N&vag=N&hdnAction=ADV_SEARCH&SearchTerms= |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/speciessearchresults.php?reg=&cty=&cri=&fam=67&gen=0&spc=&cmn=corella&hab=&thr=&bt=&rec=N&vag=N&hdnAction=ADV_SEARCH&SearchTerms= |title=Data Zone: Search Species: Corella |accessdate=1 July 2013 |publisher=Birdlife International |year= |archive-date=12 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120112203856/http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/speciessearchresults.php?reg=&cty=&cri=&fam=67&gen=0&spc=&cmn=corella&hab=&thr=&bt=&rec=N&vag=N&hdnAction=ADV_SEARCH&SearchTerms= |url-status=dead }}</ref>
The principal threats to cockatoos are [[habitat loss]] and the [[trade]] in [[:wikt:wild|wild]] animals. All cockatoos nest in trees, and are vulnerable to their loss. Also, many species have specific habitat requirements or live on small islands and have naturally small ranges, making them especially vulnerable.<ref>{{Cite journal|title= Agricultural change and paddock tree loss: Implications for an endangered subspecies of Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo| journal=Ecological Management & Restoration| year=2005|first=M|last=Maron |volume=6|issue=3|pages= 206–11|doi=10.1111/j.1442-8903.2005.00238.x}}</ref>
Cockatoos are popular as pets and the capture and trade has threatened some species; between 1983 and 1990, 66,654 recorded [[Salmon-crested Cockatoo]]s were exported from [[Indonesia]], a figure that does not include the number of birds caught for the domestic trade or that were exported illegally.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Density and distribution of the endemic Seram cockatoo ''Cacatua moluccensis'' in relation to land use patterns |url=https://archive.org/details/sim_biological-conservation_2003-02_109_2/page/227 |journal=Biological Conservation|year=2003|volume=109 |issue=2 |pages=227–35 |doi= 10.1016/S0006-3207(02)00150-7 |last1=Kinnaird |first1=Margaret F. |last2=O'Brien |first2=Timothy G. |last3=Lambert |first3=Frank R. |last4=Purmiasa |first4=David }}</ref> The capture of many species has subsequently been banned but the trade continues illegally. Not only are the rare species smuggled out of Indonesia but also common and rare cockatoos alike are smuggled out of Australia.
All species of cockatoo except the Cockatiel are protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora ([[CITES]]), which restricts import and export of wild-caught parrots to special licensed purposes. Five cockatoo species (including all subspecies)—the Tanimbar Corella (''Cacatua goffiniana''), Philippine Cockatoo (''Cacatua haematuropygia''), Moluccan Cockatoo (''Cacatua moluccensis''), Yellow-crested Cockatoo (''Cacatua sulphurea'') and Palm Cockatoo (''Probosciger aterrimus'')—are protected on the CITES [[CITES#Appendix I|Appendix I]] list. With the exception of the Cockatiel, all remaining cockatoo species are protected on the CITES [[CITES#Appendix II|Appendix II]] list.<ref>CITES (27 April 2011).

The '''Outer Hebrides''', often called the '''Western Isles''',<ref>Although officially known by the [[Scottish Gaelic|Gaelic]] name, '''''Na h-Eileanan Siar''''', this name is not understood in English.</ref> make up an [[island]] chain off the west coast of [[Scotland]]. It is also a parliamentary constituency. The northern island is [[Lewis and Harris]]. South of Lewis and Harris is a series of islands, such as [[South Uist]], [[Benbecula]] and [[North Uist]]. The Outer Herides includes a number of even smaller islands.
The isles form part of the [[Hebrides]], and are separated from the Scottish mainland and from the [[Inner Hebrides]] by the stormy waters of the [[Minch]], the [[Little Minch]] and the Sea of the Hebrides.
Formerly the dominant language of the Islands, Scottish Gaelic remains spoken even though it has now been largely supplanted by English in some parts.
Sea [[transport]] is crucial and a variety of [[ferry]] services operate between the islands and to mainland [[Britain]].
== History ==
The Western Isles became part of the ''Suðreyjar'' kingdom of the [[Norse]], who ruled for over 400 years until sovereignty was transferred to Scotland by the [[Treaty of Perth]] in 1266. Control of the islands was then held by clan chiefs.
== Geology & geography ==
Most of the islands have a bedrock formed from ancient [[Metamorphic rock|metamorphic]] rocks and the [[climate]] is mild and [[oceanic climate|oceanic]]. The [[Gulf Stream]] runs nearby. The 15 inhabited islands have a total population of about 26,500 and there are more than 50 substantial uninhabited islands.
===Flora and fauna===
Much of the archipelago is a protected habitat including both the islands and the surrounding waters. There are 53 [[Site of Special Scientific Interest|Sites of Special Scientific Interest]] (SSSI) of which the largest are Loch an Duin, North Uist at {{convert |15100|ha|acre}} and North Harris, which is {{convert |12700|ha|acre}} in extent.<ref>[http://www.cne-siar.gov.uk/cxdir/strategiespolicies/witps/appendix1.asp "Western Isles transitional programme strategy"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629195106/http://www.cne-siar.gov.uk/cxdir/strategiespolicies/witps/appendix1.asp |date=2011-06-29 }} Comhairle nan Eilean Siar.

It is prohibited for Jews to say or write it.{{fact|date=August 2023}} Most experts agree that it is to be reconstructed as "''Yahweh,''"{{fact|date=August 2023}} but the [[Hebrew Bible]] came before the [[Hebrew language]] was written with vowels. "Jehovah" is considered an inaccurate.{{fact|date=August 2023}}
== Jewish Tradition ==
Traditionally, religious Jews today do not say the name aloud because they believe that it is too holy to be spoken. However, they often use substitutes when referring to the name of their God. For example, they use "''HaShem''" (lit: ''The Name'') or "''Shem HaMeforash''" (lit: ''The Indescribable Name'').<ref>Stanley S. Seidner,"HaShem: Uses through the Ages." Unpublished paper, Rabbinical Society Seminar, Los Angeles, CA, 1987.</ref>
== About Jehovah ==
A very common [[pronunciation]] of '''YHWH''' is "Jehovah," used most commonly by [[Jehovah's Witnesses]], though they are not the only Christian denomination to use it. However, it is generally rejected as an [[Anachronism|ahistorical]] way to say it and comes from a misunderstanding.{{fact|date=August 2023}}
When it became taboo for Jews to recite YHWH and a system of [[niqqud]] had been added to the Hebrew script, the vowel signs for "Adonai" (''Lord'') were often substituted by scribes as a reminder for the readers to say that instead.{{fact|date=August 2023}} Because of this, any reader who was not aware of the substitution would read the divine name as "''Yehowah''," which is why the [[Tyndale Bible]] reads "''Iehouah''."{{fact|date=August 2023}} The I became J and the U became V, making "Jehovah."
In 2008, the [[Holy See]] reiterated a directive that the name should not be pronounced in Catholic liturgy out of respect for the Jews who never pronounce it.<ref>[http://www.catholic.org/ae/music/story.php?id=29022 Catholic online], 26/8/2008</ref>
== The Names of God ==
Nowadays, the three largest [[Abrahamic religions]] ([[Judaism]], [[Christianity]], and [[Islam]]) believe that there is [[Monotheism|only one God]]. There are many titles used to refer to God in the [[Hebrew Bible]] (like ''Elohim''), but God is most often referred to by his personal name: YHWH.{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} In most English translations, this is rendered as "''the Lᴏʀᴅ.''"

== Jewish Tradition ==
Traditionally, religious Jews do not say the name aloud because they believe that it is too holy to be spoken.

[[File:ModenaBiblEstenseCodGr1Fol11vMatt.jpg|thumb|250px|right|St Matthew writing his gospel. Picture from a Medieval [[Bible]].]]
The '''Gospel of Matthew''' (or ''Gospel according to Matthew'', also ''Matthew'') is a gospel in the [[New Testament]] that tells the story of the life and teachings of [[Jesus]]. It is called one of the [[Synoptic Gospels]] because much of its parables and language are shared by the [[Gospel of Mark]] and the [[Gospel of Luke]].
It is ''not'' thought to have been written by the [[Matthew the Evangelist|Matthew]], who was one of the [[Twelve Apostles]], though it is possible that one of its sources could be attributed to him.{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}}
This gospel was written mainly to show the [[Jew|Jewish people]] that Jesus was the [[Messiah]] spoken of in the [[Torah]]{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} and often quotes from it.

[[File:Wycliffe John Gospel.jpg|thumb|150px|right|This is one of the oldest English translations of the Gospels, and was made in the 1300s. It was translated by [[John Wycliffe]].

The Gospel of John mentions a "''disciple whom Jesus loved''" as its source or author,{{sfn|Burkett|2002|p=214}} and most scholars argue that [[John the Apostle]] wrote the gospel.{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} He was probably the youngest of the [[Twelve Apostles]].{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}}
John lived a long life and was imprisoned on the Island of Patmos in his old age. He also wrote the [[Book of Revelation]].{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} There is some disagreement on whether the letters of John, the Gospel of John, the [[Book of Revelation]] have the same author.{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}}
The Gospel of John is unique and different from the [[Synoptic Gospels]]. All four Gospels tell stories about Jesus, but John has more abstract [[Idea|ideas]] about Jesus and God.{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} Scholars say the Gospel is more [[Theology|theological]].{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} For example, the Gospel begins by calling Jesus "the Word" and "the light that came into the world." The author says that Jesus was born of God and that believers can also become "children of God."
== Summary and content ==
=== Prologue (1:1-1:19) ===
In the first verse, the author makes Jesus equal with God.{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} The book begins, "''In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.''" (John 1:1, NASB). The author writes that all things were created through the Word. The author also calls Jesus the life and light of men. The author explains that the light came into the world and that Word became flesh and that the disciples saw his glory. The author claims all who believe in the Word can be born of God and become sons of God.
=== Public ministry (1:19-12:50) ===
The author goes on to describe the ministry of [[John the Baptist]] and the [[baptism of Jesus]]. Unlike the other Gospels, John calls Jesus the "''Lamb of God''" ([https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John.1.36&version=NRSVUE John 1:36, NRSVUE]). The book then describes Jesus calling his disciples.
The first miracle that Jesus performs is turning water into wine at a wedding. Afterwards, Jesus enters the Jewish temple and chases out the money changers, calling himself the temple of God. Jesus tells the people, "''Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up''” ([https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%202%3A19&version=NRSVUE John 2:19, NRSVUE]). The book says Jesus was talking about his own body.{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}}
Nicodemus, a Pharisee and Jewish leader, comes to Jesus at night and questions Jesus. Jesus says one most be born again with the Holy Spirit to see the kingdom of God. Jesus tells Nicodemus, “''God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life.''" (John 3:16, NIrV). Jesus says God wants to save the world through Jesus. Jesus says he is the Light of the world, but that people love darkness (evil). Jesus comes to judge the world, because they do not believe and do evil. The passage calls Jesus the Son of God the Father. John the Baptist says that Jesus is greater than him.
The Gospel writes about the healing miracles of Jesus. The text says Jesus was making himself equal with God. According to John, Jesus said he is one with the Father and that the Father loves him. Jesus also said both the Father and Son give life and that he comes in the name of the Father. Jesus claims Moses and the Scriptures all speak about Jesus. The Gospels goes on to narrate two miracles: Jesus feeding the five thousand and Jesus walking on water.
According to John, Jesus says he is the bread of life from heaven. Jesus says an "I am" statement. It reads, “''I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry. And whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.''" (John 6: 35, NIrV). Jesus promises that all who believe will have eternal life and that he will raise them from the dead. In the book, Jesus says he gives his flesh as bread for the world. John writes that many disciples left Jesus when he said that they must eat his flesh and drink his blood to live.
Jesus later goes to the Festival of Tabernacles (Sukkot) secretly. He teaches there in the temple courts. Some leaders want to arrest Him, but no one does. There are different reactions to Jesus. Some people think he is [[Demonic possession|demon-possessed]], but others think he is the [[Messiah]]. Some ask if a prophet can come from [[Galilee]]. Jesus again calls himself the light of the world. The pharisees question Jesus about his [[testimony]]. Jesus claims that he and the Father are both [[Witness|witnesses]] to his testimony. Jesus claims that all who obey him will never see death. Jesus also claims he existed before Abraham. He says “''Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am''” (John 8:58, NASB). Here, Jesus is indirectly saying he is God and the people try to stone him because he said it. Jesus goes on to heal a blind man and the Pharisees investigate the healing.
Jesus uses [[Metaphor|metaphors]] to talk about himself and his disciples. He says, “''Truly, truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep''" (John 10: 7, NASB). He also says, “''I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep''" (John 10:11, NASB). These are both "I am" statements. He also says that he knows his sheep and that they know him. He promises that no one can take the sheep away. Jesus later says that "''I and the Father are one.''" The people try to seize and stone Jesus, becaue they believe Jesus [[blasphemy|blasphemed]]. The book writes that many believed Jesus.
The following miracle is considered the final sign of Jesus. It is the resurrection of Lazarus. The event also contains another "I am" statement. Jesus says to Mary, the sister of Lazarus, "''I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies.''" (John 11: 25, NASB). Chapter 11 contains the shortest verse in the Bible, "''Jesus wept''" (John 11:35). John describes how Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. John explains that the chief priests and Pharisees are trying to kill Jesus. Jesus goes to the [[wilderness]] to hide himself.
John describes how Mary of Bethany, the sister of Lazarus, [[Anointing|anoints]] Jesus. Then the text describes Jesus entering [[Jerusalem]]. The people of the city put [[Palm tree|palm]] branches out to celebrate Jesus' coming. Jesus predicts his own death. Jesus says that whoever hates his life, will have eternal life. He says that the Father will honor those who serve Jesus. John says many believed Jesus, but also that many did not believe Jesus. Jesus says the Father commanded him to say all he says.
=== Farewell Discourse (13:1-17:26) ===
The next main part of the book is Jesus' farewell discourse (final talk) to his disciples. Jesus goes on to wash his disciples' feet like a servant. According to John, Jesus predicts Judas' [[betrayal]] and Peter's denial. Jesus says Peter will deny him three times before a rooster crows. These [[Prediction|predictions]] bother the disciples. Jesus comforts them and says another "I am" sentence. He says, “''I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me''" (John 14:6, NASB).
Another "I am" sentence comes afterward. Jesus says, “''I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser''" (John 15; 1, NASB). Jesus calls his disciples the branches and himself the vine. The branches can only bear fruit if they are connected to the vine (Jesus). Branches that don't bear fruit are burned. Branches that remain in the vine (Jesus) bear fruit. Jesus says they will have joy and love.
Jesus gives his disciples a commandment, “''Love one another, just as I have loved you. No one has greater love than the one who gives their life for their friends''" (John 15:12-13, NirV). Jesus calls his disciples friends and says that he choose them. Jesus says that the world hates his disciples, because they hate Jesus. Jesus promises the coming of the Helper, the Spirit, when he leaves. He says that the Spirit shows the world their wrongs ([[sin]]). Jesus promises that the Spirit will guide his disciples.
Jesus goes on to predict his death and resurrection in [[Figure of speech|figures of speech]] (not directly). He says he will go to the Father shortly. His disciples will be sad for a time and the world will be happy. Jesus says he will come again and that the disciples will have joy again. Jesus says no one can take this joy away. He says his disciples can have peace. Jesus also says there will be hardship in the world, but that he has "''overcome the world''" (John 16:33, NASB).
Jesus then prays to the Father before he is arrested. Jesus asks the Father to glorify him with the Father so he can give eternal life. Jesus says he has shown who God is to his disciples. He has given the disciples the Father's words. The disciples have heard the Father's words and believed Jesus. He prays the Father would keep them safe in his name. He prays the Father will protect them from evil and from [[Satan]]. He also prays they would be set apart to be one with God. He asks they remain in God’s truth. He prays they all be one, just as he and the Father are one. Jesus prays for future disciples to be one in the Father's love. He prays the love and unity of his followers would show the world God’s glory.
=== Passion and resurrection (18:1–21:25) ===
In the rest of the book, John writes about the [[betrayal]], [[arrest]], [[trial]], [[crucifixion]] (Roman [[execution]] on a cross) and reported [[resurrection]] of Jesus. Jesus is arrested at the Garden of [[Gethsemane]] at night. Judas comes with a group of [[Roman Empire|Roman]] soldiers. Jesus asks who they are looking for and they say they are looking for Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus says "''I am he''." John says that the men all fell down at the words of Jesus.
The soldiers and Judas bring Jesus to Annas. Peter follows Jesus from a distance and some people question Peter. According to John, Peter denies Jesus three times before a rooster crows and Peter weeps. The leaders send Jesus to Caiaphas and to Pilate. Pilate questions Jesus and asks if he is the king of the Jews. Jesus says his kingdom is not from this world. He says his disciples would otherwise fight for him with weapons. Jesus says, "''You say that I am a king. In fact, that’s the reason I was born. I was born and came into the world to be a witness to the truth. Everyone who is on the side of truth listens to me.''” (John 18:37, NIrV). Pilate says he believes Jesus is innocent. Pilate asks the Jews if he should let Jesus go. Pilate is afraid and gives into the crowd. He gives Jesus over to the soldiers.
The text describes Jesus' [[death]] on the cross and [[burial]]. Jesus carries his own cross to the place of the skull, called Golgotha. The place is outside the city of Jerusalem. There are two [[Crime|criminals]] crucified with Jesus. A sign above the cross of Jesus reads, "''JESUS THE [[Nazarene (title)|NAZARENE]], THE KING OF THE JEWS''.” Soldiers cast lots for the robe of Jesus. Jesus' last words are "''It is finished''" before he gives up his spirit and dies. Several followers of Jesus care for the body of Jesus.
The final chapters talk about his reported [[resurrection]]. The resurrection happens on the first day of the week, [[Sunday]]. Mary Magdaline, Peter and John the Apostle are the first to see the empty [[tomb]]. Jesus appears to his disciples, including Mary Magdaline. Thomas first doubts it is Jesus. Jesus eats breakfast with his disciples. Jesus commands Peter to feed and take care of his sheep three times. Peter says Jesus knows everything and says he loves Jesus.
Near the end, the author says why he wrote book. The author writes, "''Jesus performed many other signs in front of his disciples. They are not written down in this book. But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. If you believe this, you will have life because you belong to him''" (John 20:30-31, NIrV). The book ends with the line, "''Jesus also did many other things. What if every one of them were written down? I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.''" (John 21:25, NIrV).
== Structure ==
Most scholars say there are four sections (parts) in the Gospel of John. First, there is a prologue (1:1–18). Second, there is an account of Christ's ministry. This is often called the "Book of Signs" (1:19–12:50). Third, there is a part on Jesus's final night with his disciples and the passion and resurrection. Scholars sometimes call this part the "Book of Glory" or "Book of Exaltation" (13:1–20:31). Fourth, there is a conclusion (20:30–31). More scholars believe the text is one [[Literature|literary]] unit. This means the different parts of the book agree with one another.
There are repeated events and sentences in the "Book of Signs." For instance, there are seven signs or miracles in this part. There are also seven "I am" sentences. The number seven is significant for [[symbolism]].

== Relation to other texts ==
=== Gospel of John and other Gospels ===
The Gospel of John is very different from the [[Synoptic Gospels]] (Matthew, Mark, Luke). It selects different material. it is more theological. It has a different order of events. There is a different writing style. There are also some disagreements in the texts. These disagreements lead to [[Contradiction|contradictions]]. These differences are also common in [[Biography|biographies]] from this time period.
There are several events or themes only in John and not in the other Gospels:
* John's prologue is unique and not found in other Gospels.
* The Wedding at Cana and turning water into wine.
* Nicodemus talking with Jesus.
* Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well.
* The healing at the pool of Bethesda.
* The healing of the man born blind.
* The raising of Lazarus.
* The High Priestly Prayer of Jesus.
* Thomas doubting Jesus after his resurrection.
* Jesus restoring Peter after his denial.
* "I AM" statements not found in other gospels.
* John has almost no parables unlike the other gospels.
* John has long theological discourses, not just story-telling.
* John openly describes Jesus as messiah unlike the other Gospels.
* John has no mention of hell unlike the other Gospels.
=== Gospel of John and the Hebrew Bible ===
The Gospel of John refers to books in the [[Hebrew Bible]]. The beginning of John uses language from Genesis 1:1 (in the beginning). The book of Exodus uses "I AM" as a name for God. In Exodus 3:14, God gives his name "I AM who I AM" to Moses. In John, Jesus uses several "I AM" sentences for himself. Jesus talks about a story about Moses and a serpent. Jesus says he is like the serpent in Numbers 21:8-9 and that he must be lifted up. Jesus refers to the law about testimonies. He says he and the Father make two testimonies. This refers to Deuteronomy 19:15. It says that two testimonies are true. The Gospel of John also writes about Jewish festivals from the Hebrew Bible.
The book claims to fulfill passages from the Old Testament. The text claims Jesus is the fulfilled [[Messiah]] of the Old Testament. The Jewish people were waiting for a Messiah to save the Jews. Jesus says that Moses wrote about him. The text says certain events fulfill [[Prophecy|prophecies]] of the Old Testament. One event is Jesus riding on a donkey. Another is Jesus not breaking any bones on the cross. Another is that soldiers cast lots for Jesus' clothing. The author believes the death of Jesus fulfills the Old Testament. The Gospel refers to books of Psalms and Isaiah.
== In popular culture ==
The phrase "born again" comes from the third chapter, and was the title of a book by [[Chuck Colson]] who was a lawyer for [[President Nixon]] but after being in jail became a prison reformer. The phrase was used later for any person who had a dramatic change in their life.
Chapter 3, verse 16 is perhaps the best known verse in the entire New Testament. "For God loved the world so much that He gave his only son (Jesus), so that whoever believed in Him, would not die but live forever". This verse was searched on the internet by millions of people after [[Tim Tebow]], an American football player wrote "Jn 3:16" on his face in an important football game. The verse also appears on the bottom of cups at In-N-Out Burger and on shopping bags from Forever 21.

His disciples will be sad for a time and the world will be happy. Jesus says he will come again and that the disciples will have joy again. Jesus says no one can take this joy away. He says his disciples can have peace. Jesus also says there will be hardship in the world, but that he has "''overcome the world''" (John 16:33, NASB).
Jesus then prays to the Father before he is arrested. Jesus asks the Father to glorify him with the Father so he can give eternal life. Jesus says he has shown who God is to his disciples. He has given the disciples the Father's words. The disciples have heard the Father's words and believed Jesus. He prays the Father would keep them safe in his name. He prays the Father will protect them from evil and from [[Satan]]. He also prays they would be set apart to be one with God. He asks they remain in God’s truth. He prays they all be one, just as he and the Father are one. Jesus prays for future disciples to be one in the Father's love. He prays the love and unity of his followers would show the world God’s glory.
=== Passion and resurrection (18:1–21:25) ===
In the rest of the book, John writes about the [[betrayal]], [[arrest]], [[trial]], [[crucifixion]] (Roman [[execution]] on a cross) and reported [[resurrection]] of Jesus. Jesus is arrested at the Garden of [[Gethsemane]] at night. Judas comes with a group of [[Roman Empire|Roman]] soldiers. Jesus asks who they are looking for and they say they are looking for Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus says "''I am he''." John says that the men all fell down at the words of Jesus.
The soldiers and Judas bring Jesus to Annas. Peter follows Jesus from a distance and some people question Peter. According to John, Peter denies Jesus three times before a rooster crows and Peter weeps. The leaders send Jesus to Caiaphas and to Pilate. Pilate questions Jesus and asks if he is the king of the Jews. Jesus says his kingdom is not from this world. He says his disciples would otherwise fight for him with weapons. Jesus says, "''You say that I am a king. In fact, that’s the reason I was born. I was born and came into the world to be a witness to the truth. Everyone who is on the side of truth listens to me.''” (John 18:37, NIrV). Pilate says he believes Jesus is innocent. Pilate asks the Jews if he should let Jesus go. Pilate is afraid and gives into the crowd. He gives Jesus over to the soldiers.
The text describes Jesus' [[death]] on the cross and [[burial]]. Jesus carries his own cross to the place of the skull, called Golgotha. The place is outside the city of Jerusalem. There are two [[Crime|criminals]] crucified with Jesus. A sign above the cross of Jesus reads, "''JESUS THE [[Nazarene (title)|NAZARENE]], THE KING OF THE JEWS''.” Soldiers cast lots for the robe of Jesus. Jesus' last words are "''It is finished''" before he gives up his spirit and dies. Several followers of Jesus care for the body of Jesus.
The final chapters talk about his reported [[resurrection]]. The resurrection happens on the first day of the week, [[Sunday]]. Mary Magdaline, Peter and John the Apostle are the first to see the empty [[tomb]]. Jesus appears to his disciples, including Mary Magdaline. Thomas first doubts it is Jesus. Jesus eats breakfast with his disciples. Jesus commands Peter to feed and take care of his sheep three times. Peter says Jesus knows everything and says he loves Jesus.
Near the end, the author says why he wrote book. The author writes, "''Jesus performed many other signs in front of his disciples. They are not written down in this book. But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. If you believe this, you will have life because you belong to him''" (John 20:30-31, NIrV). The book ends with the line, "''Jesus also did many other things. What if every one of them were written down? I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.''" (John 21:25, NIrV).
== Structure ==
Most scholars say there are four sections (parts) in the Gospel of John. First, there is a prologue (1:1–18). Second, there is an account of Christ's ministry. This is often called the "Book of Signs" (1:19–12:50). Third, there is a part on Jesus's final night with his disciples and the passion and resurrection. Scholars sometimes call this part the "Book of Glory" or "Book of Exaltation" (13:1–20:31). Fourth, there is a conclusion (20:30–31). More scholars believe the text is one [[Literature|literary]] unit. This means the different parts of the book agree with one another.
There are repeated events and sentences in the "Book of Signs." For instance, there are seven signs or miracles in this part. There are also seven "I am" sentences. The number seven is significant for [[symbolism]].

== Relation to other texts ==
=== Gospel of John and other Gospels ===
The Gospel of John is very different from the [[Synoptic Gospels]] (Matthew, Mark, Luke). It selects different material. it is more theological. It has a different order of events. There is a different writing style. There are also some disagreements in the texts. These disagreements lead to [[Contradiction|contradictions]]. These differences are also common in [[Biography|biographies]] from this time period.
There are several events or themes only in John and not in the other Gospels:
* John's prologue is unique and not found in other Gospels.
* The Wedding at Cana and turning water into wine.
* Nicodemus talking with Jesus.
* Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well.
* The healing at the pool of Bethesda.
* The healing of the man born blind.
* The raising of Lazarus.
* The High Priestly Prayer of Jesus.
* Thomas doubting Jesus after his resurrection.
* Jesus restoring Peter after his denial.
* "I AM" statements not found in other gospels.
* John has almost no parables unlike the other gospels.
* John has long theological discourses, not just story-telling.
* John openly describes Jesus as messiah unlike the other Gospels.
* John has no mention of hell unlike the other Gospels.
=== Gospel of John and the Hebrew Bible ===
The Gospel of John refers to books in the [[Hebrew Bible]]. The beginning of John uses language from Genesis 1:1 (in the beginning). The book of Exodus uses "I AM" as a name for God. In Exodus 3:14, God gives his name "I AM who I AM" to Moses. In John, Jesus uses several "I AM" sentences for himself. Jesus talks about a story about Moses and a serpent. Jesus says he is like the serpent in Numbers 21:8-9 and that he must be lifted up. Jesus refers to the law about testimonies. He says he and the Father make two testimonies. This refers to Deuteronomy 19:15. It says that two testimonies are true. The Gospel of John also writes about Jewish festivals from the Hebrew Bible.
The book claims to fulfill passages from the Old Testament. The text claims Jesus is the fulfilled [[Messiah]] of the Old Testament. The Jewish people were waiting for a Messiah to save the Jews. Jesus says that Moses wrote about him. The text says certain events fulfill [[Prophecy|prophecies]] of the Old Testament. One event is Jesus riding on a donkey. Another is Jesus not breaking any bones on the cross. Another is that soldiers cast lots for Jesus' clothing. The author believes the death of Jesus fulfills the Old Testament. The Gospel refers to books of Psalms and Isaiah.

The '''Battle of Stalingrad''' '''(1942-1943)''' was fought during the [[Second World War]] between [[Nazi Germany]] led by [[Adolf Hitler]] and the [[Soviet Union]] led by [[Joseph Stalin]]. They were fighting for control of the city of [[Stalingrad]]. [[Nazi Germany|Germany]] got support from [[Kingdom of Italy|Italy]], [[Kingdom of Hungary (1920–1946)|Hungary]], [[Independent State of Croatia|Croatia]] and [[Kingdom of Romania|Romania]]. The battle was fought between 23 August 1942 and 2 February 1943. It was one of the most important battles of the war because it marked the end of Germany's advances. Hitler even blamed his defeat partly on Stalingrad. The Battle of Stalingrad has often been recorded as an example of how brutal a war can be. It is reported that, due to limited supplies, soldiers and [[civilian]]s had to resort to eating rats, mice, and even [[cannibalism]].
Stalingrad, now [[Volgograd]], was a city on the [[Volga River]]. It was an important industrial city, and the Volga was an important transport route. Hitler also wanted to capture Stalingrad because it was named after [[Josef Stalin|Joseph Stalin]], the leader of the Soviet Union, thus it would embarrass him.
In June 1942, Adolf Hitler launched an attack in southern Russia. By the end of July the German army had reached Stalingrad. With bombs and fire the German [[Luftwaffe]] turned the city into ruins. However, the rubble made hiding places from which [[Russians|Russian]] [[sniper]]s could attack the Germans. Hitler and Stalin sent in large numbers of soldiers. They both ordered that anyone who retreated would be [[Execution|shot on the spot]] for [[treason]].
On 19 November 1942, the Red Army launched an attack which surrounded the Stalingrad area, pinching off the German [[Salients, re-entrants and pockets|salient]]. Hitler ordered the army to stay there. The [[German air force]] tried to supply them by air. By February 1943, the German forces in Stalingrad had no ammunition and food. Rather than freeze, they surrendered, knowing the Soviets were usually cruel to their prisoners.
The battle lasted five months, one week, and three days. 1.6 million people dead or wounded in battle were reported. There were more Russian deaths than German, but it was a victory for the Russians. They had killed so many Germans that Hitler's overall plan to conquer the Soviet Union, started with [[Operation Barbarossa]], was seriously weakened. Also, the Germans failed to get control of Russian [[oil field]]s.
About one quarter of the German Sixth Army's soldiers were Eastern European volunteers called HIWIs. The Battle of Stalingrad was the largest and deadliest battle in the history of warfare.
== Background ==
By the spring of 1942, the German [[Operation Barbarossa]] did not defeat the [[Soviet Union]]. The war was still going well for the Germans: the [[U-boat]] offensive in the [[Atlantic]] had been very successful and [[Erwin Rommel|Rommel]] had just captured [[Tobruk#Capture of Tobruk|Tobruk]].<ref name="Kershaw2000">Kershaw, (2000)</ref>{{Rp|p.522|date=June 2011}}
In the east, they had captured land including [[Leningrad]] in the north and [[Rostov-on-Don]] in the south. There were a number of places where Soviet attacks had pushed the Germans back (to the northwest of [[Moscow]] and south of [[Kharkov]]) but this did not threaten the Germans. Hitler was confident that he could beat the [[Red Army]] after the winter of 1941. Even though [[Army Group Centre]] had heavy losses near Moscow the previous winter, 65% of its [[infantry]] had not fought and had been rested and given new equipment. Army Groups North and South had also not had a hard time over the winter.<ref name="TaylorClark1974">Taylor and Clark, (1974)</ref> Stalin was expecting German summer attacks to again be directed against Moscow.
The Germans decided that their summer campaign in 1942 would be directed at the southern parts of the Soviet Union. The Germans wanted to destroy Stalingrad's industries. [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]] also saw the city of Stalingrad as a key city to capture due to it holding [[Joseph Stalin|Joseph Stalin's]] name in it. The Germans also wanted to block the [[Volga River]]. The river was a route between the [[Caspian Sea]] and northern Russia. Capturing the river would make it hard for the Soviets to use the river to transport goods such as oil which Germany had been lacking due to their main supply, coming from the Soviets being stopped after [[Operation Barbarossa]] commenced.
The German operations were initially very successful. On July 23, 1942, Hitler changed the goals for the 1942 attack. He made occupying Stalingrad one of the goals. The city was important, because it was named after Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union. The Germans thought that if they captured Stalingrad, it would help the northern and western parts of the German armies to attack [[Baku]]. The Germans wanted to capture Baku because it had a lot of oil.<ref name="Kershaw2000"/>
The Soviets were aware of the German plan to attack. The Soviets ordered that anyone strong enough to hold a rifle be sent to fight.<ref>McDonald (1986)</ref>

On the 23 of August the 6th Army reached the edge of Stalingrad. They were following the [[62nd Army (Soviet Union)|62nd]] and 64th Armies, which had gone back into the city. [[Paul Ludwig Ewald von Kleist|Kleist]] later said after the war:<ref name="Clark, Lloyd 2011, page 157">Clark, Lloyd, ''Kursk: The Greatest Battle: Eastern Front 1943'', 2011, page 157</ref>
<blockquote> The capture of Stalingrad was [a place] where we could block an attack...by Russian forces coming from the east.<ref name="Clark, Lloyd 2011, page 157"/></blockquote>
The Soviets had enough warning of the German attack to move all the city's grain, cattle, and railway cars across the Volga. But most civilian residents stayed in the city. The city lacked food even before the German attack. The ''[[Luftwaffe]]'' air attacks made the Soviets unable to use the River Volga to bring supplies into the city. Between 25 and 31 July, 32 Soviet ships were sunk in the River Volga.<ref name="bergstrom2007">Bergström, Christer, (2007)</ref>{{Rp|p.69|date=May 2009}}

By the end of August, Army Group South (B) had reached the Volga. By 1 September, the Soviets could only supply their forces in Stalingrad by crossing the Volga under constant bombing by artillery and aircraft.
On 5 September, the Soviet 24th and [[66th Army|66th]] Armies organized an attack against XIV Panzer Corps. The ''Luftwaffe'' helped stop the attack by attacking Soviet artillery and soldiers. The Soviets had to pull back. Of the 120 tanks the Soviets had sent into battle, 30 were lost to air attack.<ref name= Bergstrom2007/>
The Soviets were always being attacked by the ''Luftwaffe''. On 18 September, the Soviet [[1st Guards Army (Soviet Union)|1st Guards]] and [[24th Army (Soviet Union)|24th Army]] attacked VIII Army Corps . ''[[8th Air Corps (Germany)|VIII. Fliegerkorps]]'' sent [[Stuka]] dive-bombers to prevent the Soviets from advancing. The Soviet attack was stopped. The Stukas destroyed 41 of the 106 Soviet tanks that were destroyed that morning. German [[Bf 109]]s destroyed 77 Soviet aircraft.<ref name=Bergstrom2007/>{{Rp|p.80|date=May 2009}}
In the wrecked city, the Soviet [[62nd Army|62nd]] and 64th [[Army (Soviet Army)|Armies]], which included the Soviet [[13th Guards Rifle Division]], used houses and factories to hide in.
Fighting in city was very violent. Stalin's Order No. 227 of 27 July 1942 decreed that all commanders who retreated without being told to do so would have to go to a military tribunal.<ref name=Beevor/><sup>84-5</sup> "Not a step back!" was the slogan. The Germans attacking Stalingrad had many dead and wounded.
===Germany reaches the Volga===
After three months of slow advance, the Wermacht finally reached the river banks. The Germans captured 90% of the ruined city and split the Soviet forces into two parts. Ice on the Volga river made it impossible for the Soviets to bring in supplies by boat.
==Soviet counter-offensives==
[[File:RIAN archive 44732 Soviet soldiers attack house.jpg|thumb|250px|Soviet soldiers attack a house, February 1943]]
German troops were not ready for fighting during the winter of 1942. The [[Stavka]] did a number of attacks between November 19, 1942 and February 2, 1943. These operations started the Winter Campaign of 1942-1943 (19 November 1942 – 3 March 1943), which involved 15 armies.
=== Operation Uranus: the Soviet offensive ===
{{main|Operation Uranus}}
[[File:Map Battle of Stalingrad-en.svg|thumb|right|upright=1.1|The Soviet counter-attack at Stalingrad]]
In autumn, the Soviet generals [[Georgy Zhukov]] and Aleksandr Vasilevsky gathered their soldiers in the north and south of the city. The northern side was defended by Hungarian, and Romanian troops. The Don River had never been defended well by the German side. The Soviet plan was to attack and surround the German forces in the Stalingrad region.
The operation was code-named "Uran". It started with Operation Mars, aimed at [[Army Group Center]].<ref>Maps of the conflict. [http://www-cgsc.army.mil/carl/resources/csi/drea2/Maps.html#map17 Leavenworth Papers No. 2 Nomonhan: Japanese-Soviet Tactical Combat, 1939; MAPS] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090408133447/http://www-cgsc.army.mil/carl/resources/csi/drea2/Maps.html#map17 |date=2009-04-08 }}. Retrieved 5 December 2009.</ref>
On 19 November 1942, the [[Red Army]] launched Operation Uranus. The attacking Soviet units under the command of Gen. Nikolay Vatutin consisted of three armies. This included a total of 18 infantry [[Division (military)|divisions]], eight tank [[brigade]]s, two [[motor]]ized brigades, six [[cavalry]] divisions and one anti-tank brigade. The Soviets pushed past the Romanian Third Army. The response by the ''Wehrmacht'' was disorganized. Bad weather prevented air attacks against the Soviets.
On 20 November, a second Soviet offensive (two armies) was launched to the south of Stalingrad against the Romanian [[4th Army Corps (Romania)|4th Army Corps]]. The Romanians were overrun by large numbers of tanks. The Soviet forces moved west and made a ring around Stalingrad.<ref name="Shirer1990">Shirer (1990)</ref>{{Rp|p.926|date=June 2011}}

There were 210,000 Germans on 19 November 1942. There were also around 10,000 Soviet civilians and several thousand Soviet soldiers the Germans had taken captive during the battle. Not all of the 6th Army was trapped; 50,000 were not surrounded. Of the 210,000 Germans surrounded, 10,000 remained to fight, 105,000 surrendered, 35,000 left by air and the remaining 60,000 died.
The Red Army formed two defensive groups. Field Marshal [[Erich von Manstein]] told Hitler not to order the 6th Army to break out. Manstein thought that he could break through the Soviet troops and free the 6th Army.<ref name="Weinberg">Weinberg, Gerhard 2005. ''A world in arms'', Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.</ref><sup>p451</sup><ref>Murray, Williamson & Millet, Alan 2000.

Manstein was told to attack Stalingrad in Operation Winter Storm (''Unternehmen Wintergewitter''). He thought that this attack could work if the 6th Army was supplied through the air.<ref name=Manstein/><ref name=Weinberg/>
[[Adolf Hitler]] had said on 30 September 1942 that the German army would never leave the city. At a meeting shortly after the Soviets formed a ring around the Germans, the German army chiefs wanted to try to escape to the west of the [[River Don|Don]]. Hitler thought that the [[Luftwaffe]] could supply the 6th Army with an "air bridge". This would allow the Germans in the city to fight while a new force was assembled. A similar plan had been used a year earlier at the Demyansk Pocket.
The director of ''Luftflotte'' 4, [[Wolfram von Richthofen]], tried to get this decision stopped. The forces under 6th Army were almost twice as large as a regular German army unit, plus there was also a corps of the 4th Panzer Army trapped in the city. The maximum {{convert|117.5|ST|t|abbr=on}} they could deliver a day was far less than the minimum {{convert|800|ST|t|abbr=on}} needed.
To add to the limited number of [[Junkers Ju 52]] planes the Germans used other planes like the [[Heinkel He 177]] . General Richthofen told Manstein on 27 November that the Luftwaffe could not supply 300 tons a day by air. Manstein now saw the problems of a supply by air. The next day he made a report which said that the supply by air would be impossible. He said the Sixth Army should try to escape. He said that giving up Stalingrad would be a difficult loss, but that it would keep the Sixth Army intact.<ref>Kehrig, Manfred 1974. ''Stalingrad''. Stuttgart: Deutsche Verlags Anstalt, pages 279,311-312,575.</ref> Hitler said that the Sixth Army would have to stay at Stalingrad and that the air force would supply it until the Germans could attack the Soviets.
The ''Luftwaffe'' was able to deliver an average of {{convert|94|ST|t|abbr=on}} of supplies per day. The most successful day, 19 December, delivered {{convert|289|ST|t|abbr=on}} of supplies in 154 flights. In the early parts of the operation, more fuel was shipped than food and ammunition because the Germans thought they could escape from the city. Transport airplanes also flew out sick or wounded men from the city. The German attack did not reach the 6th Army. The air supply operation continued. The 6th Army slowly starved. 160 German transport aircraft were destroyed and 328 were heavily damaged. Some 266 Junkers Ju 52s were destroyed.
== Final stages ==
=== Operation Winter Storm ===
Soviet forces grouped together around Stalingrad. Violent fighting to attack the Germans began. Operation Winter Storm (''Operation Wintergewitter''), the German attempt to rescue the trapped army from the south, was at first successful. By 19 December, the German Army had pushed to within 48 km (30 mi) of Sixth Army's positions. Some German officers asked Paulus go against Hitler's orders and try to escape out of the Stalingrad. Paulus refused. On 23 December, Manstein's forces had to defend themselves from new Soviet attacks.
=== Operation Little Saturn ===
[[File:OperationLittleSaturn.PNG|thumb|right|upright=1.4|Soviet wins (shown in blue) during Operation Little Saturn]]
On 16 December, the Soviets launched Operation Little Saturn. It attempted to make a hole through the Axis army (mainly Italians) on the Don and capture [[Rostov-on-Don|Rostov]]. The Germans set up a defence of small units. 15 Soviet divisions—supported by at least 100 tanks—attacked the Italian Cosseria and Ravenna Divisions.<ref>{{cite book| last = Paoletti| first = Ciro| title = A Military History of Italy| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=Uz8eiwzEMHQC&pg=PA182| accessdate = 4 December 2009| year = 2008| publisher = Praeger Security International| location = Westport, CT| isbn = 978-0-275-98505-9| page = 177 }}</ref> The Soviets never got close to Rostov because of the Italian defence.
The German attempt to break through to Stalingrad was stopped and Army Group A was told to come back from the Caucasus.
The 6th Army could no longer hope to escape. The 6th Army did not have enough fuel. As well, the German soldiers have found it very hard to break through the Soviet lines on foot in the cold winter conditions.

The Germans were now not only starving, but running out of ammunition. They continued to fight because they thought the Soviets would execute any Germans who surrendered. A Soviet group (Major Aleksandr Smyslov, Captain Nikolay Dyatlenko and a trumpeter) carried an offer to Paulus: if he surrendered within 24 hours, he would receive a guarantee of safety for all prisoners, medical care for the sick and wounded, prisoners allowed to keep their personal belongings, food rations, and be sent to any country they wanted after the war.

Four Soviet armies attacked the remaining northern group. On 2 February, General Strecker surrendered.

Out of the nearly 110,000 German prisoners captured in Stalingrad, only about 6,000 ever returned. They were sent to prisoner camps and later to [[labour camp]]s all over the Soviet Union. Some 35,000 were eventually sent on transports, of which 17,000 did not survive. Some were kept in the city to help rebuild.
Some senior officers were taken to Moscow and used for propaganda purposes. Some of them joined the [[National Committee for a Free Germany]].

===Casualties===

Counting how many people were killed and wounded in the battle of Stalingrad is hard. One way is to only count the fighting within the city and suburbs. Another way of counting is to count all the fighting on the southern part of the Soviet-German front from the spring of 1942 to the winter of 1943. Different scholars have made different estimates depending on how widely you consider the battle.
The Axis had from 500,000 to 850,000 casualties (killed, wounded, captured) among all branches of the German armed forces and its allies<ref>Rayfield (2004)</ref>{{Rp|p.396|date=June 2011}} and only 5-6,000 returned to Germany by 1955.

On 2 February 1943, the fighting of Axis troops in Stalingrad stopped. Out of the 91,000 prisoners taken by the Soviets, 3,000 were Romanian.
The Red Army had a total of 1,129,619 total casualties;<ref name="autogenerated1">[http://www.hrono.info/sobyt/1900sob/1942stal.html Сталинградская битва] {{in lang|ru}}.

===Scope of the battle===
[[File:stalingrad aftermath.jpg|thumb|The aftermath of the Battle of Stalingrad]]
In the original 1942 plan, the occupation of Stalingrad had not been a goal. Based on the military successes of the Germans in the first month of the attacks, Hitler decided to expand the military goals. Hitler thought that the Soviet forces across the Don river were weak. The new goals included Stalingrad and even capturing the Volga.
Once the Armies began to fight in the for the city, both sides began to feel that it was very important to win. The Germans sent a lot of troops into the city. This meant that their side did not control the Don river and the Soviet bridges. The German side made steady progress in the fighting and eventually held about 90% of the city.
The German focus on the city made them not think of the weakness of their defenses along the Don and the massive buildup of Soviet forces on their sides. After the Soviet breakthrough, the Germans were very disorganized. The 6th Army was eventually reorganized in time for the [[Battle of Kursk]], but was made up mostly of new soldiers and was never as strong as it had once been.<ref name=Craig73/>{{Rp|p.386|date=May 2009}}
Germany failed at Stalingrad because they expanded the goals in the second half of July. After one month of success, the Germans started believing they could win the battle. Hitler ordered too many goals and he did not think Soviet reserves were as strong as they were. To the south of Stalingrad, Army Group A was trying to capture the oilfields. Then its goals were expanded to include the whole of the [[Black Sea]] coast.<ref name="walsh2000">Walsh, Stephen. (2000). ''Stalingrad 1942–1943 The Infernal Cauldron''. London, New York: Simon & Schuster. {{ISBN|978-0-7432-0916-8}}.</ref>
Stalingrad was a turning point in the war. It also showed the discipline and determination of both the German ''[[Wehrmacht]]'' and the Soviet [[Soviet Army|Red Army]]. The Soviets first defended Stalingrad against a strong German attack. Newly arrived Soviet soldiers often died in less than a day. Soviet officers often died in three days.
Historians have talked about how much terror there was in the Red Army. Beevor noted the bravery of the Soviet soldiers.<ref name="Beevor1998"/>{{Rp|p.154–168|date=June 2011}} Richard Overy says that some people think that in the "summer of 1942 the Soviet army fought because it was forced to fight,” but he says this is not true<ref>Overy, Richard.

For the heroism of the Soviet defenders of Stalingrad, the city was awarded the title [[Hero City]] in 1945. Twenty-four years after the battle, in October 1967,<ref>Historical Memorial Complex "To the Heroes of the Stalingrad Battle" at Mamayev Hill. [http://mamayevhill.volgadmin.ru/00_n.htm Official web site] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080926113201/http://mamayevhill.volgadmin.ru/00_n.htm |date=2008-09-26 }}. Retrieved 17 July 2008.</ref> a monument, [[The Motherland Calls]], was built on [[Mamayev Kurgan]], the hill overlooking the city. The hill actually used to be much larger, but had been flattened due to constant artillery fire. The statue forms part of a war memorial that includes ruined walls from the battle. The Grain Silo, as well as [[Pavlov's House]] can still be visited.
Many women fought on the Soviet side, or were under fire.<ref>Bellamy (2007), 520-521.</ref> At the beginning of the battle there were 75,000 women and girls from the Stalingrad area who had finished military or medical training, and all of whom were to serve in the battle.<ref>Pennington, pp. 180–182.</ref> Women staffed a great many of the anti-aircraft batteries that fought not only the Luftwaffe but German tanks.<ref>Pennington, p. 178.</ref> Soviet nurses not only treated wounded men under fire but brought wounded soldiers back to the hospitals under enemy fire.<ref>Pennington, pp. 189–192.</ref> Many of the Soviet wireless and telephone operators were women who often suffered heavy injuries and deaths.<ref>Pennington, pp. 192–194.</ref> Though women were not usually trained as infantry, many Soviet women fought as machine gunners, mortar operators, and scouts.<ref name="Pennington p.197">Pennington, p. 197.</ref> Women were also snipers at Stalingrad.<ref>Pennington, pp. 201–204.</ref> Three air regiments at Stalingrad were entirely female.<ref name="Pennington p.197"/> At least three women won the title [[Hero of the Soviet Union]] while driving tanks at Stalingrad.<ref>Pennington, pp. 204–207.</ref>
The German Army showed a lot of discipline after being surrounded. Many German soldiers starved or froze to death. Yet, discipline was continued until the very end. General Friedrich Paulus obeyed Hitler's orders and did not attempt to escape out of the city. German ammunition, supplies, and food became scarce. Generals from both sides suffered from massive stress because of the battle and also because of the fact that they had to report to the most brutal leader in their nation's history. Many generals suffered health problems because of their stress.
Paulus followed his orders and fought to the very end. He asked for permission to surrender, but it was denied. Hitler promoted him to the rank of ''[[Generalfeldmarschall]]''. No German field marshal had ever surrendered, and the implication was clear. Hitler believed that Paulus would either fight to the last man or commit suicide.<ref>Bellamy (2007), 549.</ref> Paulus was taken prisoner.<ref>Beevor, p. 381</ref><ref group="Note">''Für so einen Schweinehund wie den böhmischen Gefreiten erschieße ich mich nicht!''

After his capture, Paulus told the Soviets that he had not surrendered. He refused to issue an order for the Germans to surrender.<ref>Beevor, p. 390</ref><ref>Bellamy (2007), 550.</ref>

The events of the battle for Stalingrad have been shown in several movies of [[Stalingrad (film)|German]], Russian,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4562967572164209056&q=duration%3Along+is%3Afree+genre%3AMOVIE_FEATURE|title=The Great Battle on the Volga (1962)|accessdate=12 November 2010|archive-date=28 June 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110628181553/http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4562967572164209056&q=duration:long+is:free+genre:MOVIE_FEATURE|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Enemy at the Gates|British and American]] origin.
The battle is described in many books.
In the novel ''The Book Thief'', one character was presumed to have died or been captured in The Battle of Stalingrad.
In the 2011 video game [[Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad]], the game shows famous locations of the battle, such as [[Pavlov's House]], the Red October Factory and Mamayev Kurgan, among others.
The 2013 game, [[Company of Heroes 2]], showed the battle in certain missions.

The '''Battle of Stalingrad''' '''(1942-1943)''' was fought during the [[Second World War]] between [[Nazi Germany]] led by [[Adolf Hitler]] and the [[Soviet Union]] led by [[Joseph Stalin]]. They were fighting for control of the city of [[Stalingrad]]. [[Nazi Germany|Germany]] got support from [[Kingdom of Italy|Italy]], [[Kingdom of Hungary (1920–1946)|Hungary]], [[Independent State of Croatia|Croatia]] and [[Kingdom of Romania|Romania]]. The battle was fought between 23 August 1942 and 2 February 1943. It was one of the most important battles of the war because it marked the end of Germany's advances. Hitler even blamed his defeat partly on Stalingrad. The Battle of Stalingrad has often been recorded as an example of how brutal a war can be. It is reported that, due to limited supplies, soldiers and [[civilian]]s had to resort to eating rats, mice, and even [[cannibalism]].
Stalingrad, now [[Volgograd]], was a city on the [[Volga River]]. It was an important industrial city, and the Volga was an important transport route. Hitler also wanted to capture Stalingrad because it was named after [[Josef Stalin|Joseph Stalin]], the leader of the Soviet Union, thus it would embarrass him.
In June 1942, Adolf Hitler launched an attack in southern Russia. By the end of July the German army had reached Stalingrad. With bombs and fire the German [[Luftwaffe]] turned the city into ruins. However, the rubble made hiding places from which [[Russians|Russian]] [[sniper]]s could attack the Germans. Hitler and Stalin sent in large numbers of soldiers. They both ordered that anyone who retreated would be [[Execution|shot on the spot]] for [[treason]].
On 19 November 1942, the Red Army launched an attack which surrounded the Stalingrad area, pinching off the German [[Salients, re-entrants and pockets|salient]]. Hitler ordered the army to stay there. The [[German air force]] tried to supply them by air. By February 1943, the German forces in Stalingrad had no ammunition and food. Rather than freeze, they surrendered, knowing the Soviets were usually cruel to their prisoners.
The battle lasted five months, one week, and three days. 1.6 million people dead or wounded in battle were reported. There were more Russian deaths than German, but it was a victory for the Russians. They had killed so many Germans that Hitler's overall plan to conquer the Soviet Union, started with [[Operation Barbarossa]], was seriously weakened. Also, the Germans failed to get control of Russian [[oil field]]s.
About one quarter of the German Sixth Army's soldiers were Eastern European volunteers called HIWIs. The Battle of Stalingrad was the largest and deadliest battle in the history of warfare.
== Background ==
By the spring of 1942, the German [[Operation Barbarossa]] did not defeat the [[Soviet Union]]. The war was still going well for the Germans: the [[U-boat]] offensive in the [[Atlantic]] had been very successful and [[Erwin Rommel|Rommel]] had just captured [[Tobruk#Capture of Tobruk|Tobruk]].<ref name="Kershaw2000">Kershaw, (2000)</ref>{{Rp|p.522|date=June 2011}}
In the east, they had captured land including [[Leningrad]] in the north and [[Rostov-on-Don]] in the south. There were a number of places where Soviet attacks had pushed the Germans back (to the northwest of [[Moscow]] and south of [[Kharkov]]) but this did not threaten the Germans. Hitler was confident that he could beat the [[Red Army]] after the winter of 1941. Even though [[Army Group Centre]] had heavy losses near Moscow the previous winter, 65% of its [[infantry]] had not fought and had been rested and given new equipment. Army Groups North and South had also not had a hard time over the winter.<ref name="TaylorClark1974">Taylor and Clark, (1974)</ref> Stalin was expecting German summer attacks to again be directed against Moscow.
The Germans decided that their summer campaign in 1942 would be directed at the southern parts of the Soviet Union. The Germans wanted to destroy Stalingrad's industries. [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]] also saw the city of Stalingrad as a key city to capture due to it holding [[Joseph Stalin|Joseph Stalin's]] name in it. The Germans also wanted to block the [[Volga River]]. The river was a route between the [[Caspian Sea]] and northern Russia. Capturing the river would make it hard for the Soviets to use the river to transport goods such as oil which Germany had been lacking due to their main supply, coming from the Soviets being stopped after [[Operation Barbarossa]] commenced.
The German operations were initially very successful. On July 23, 1942, Hitler changed the goals for the 1942 attack. He made occupying Stalingrad one of the goals. The city was important, because it was named after Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union. The Germans thought that if they captured Stalingrad, it would help the northern and western parts of the German armies to attack [[Baku]]. The Germans wanted to capture Baku because it had a lot of oil.<ref name="Kershaw2000"/>
The Soviets were aware of the German plan to attack. The Soviets ordered that anyone strong enough to hold a rifle be sent to fight.<ref>McDonald (1986)</ref>

On the 23 of August the 6th Army reached the edge of Stalingrad. They were following the [[62nd Army (Soviet Union)|62nd]] and 64th Armies, which had gone back into the city. [[Paul Ludwig Ewald von Kleist|Kleist]] later said after the war:<ref name="Clark, Lloyd 2011, page 157">Clark, Lloyd, ''Kursk: The Greatest Battle: Eastern Front 1943'', 2011, page 157</ref>
<blockquote> The capture of Stalingrad was [a place] where we could block an attack...by Russian forces coming from the east.<ref name="Clark, Lloyd 2011, page 157"/></blockquote>
The Soviets had enough warning of the German attack to move all the city's grain, cattle, and railway cars across the Volga. But most civilian residents stayed in the city. The city lacked food even before the German attack. The ''[[Luftwaffe]]'' air attacks made the Soviets unable to use the River Volga to bring supplies into the city. Between 25 and 31 July, 32 Soviet ships were sunk in the River Volga.<ref name="bergstrom2007">Bergström, Christer, (2007)</ref>{{Rp|p.69|date=May 2009}}

By the end of August, Army Group South (B) had reached the Volga. By 1 September, the Soviets could only supply their forces in Stalingrad by crossing the Volga under constant bombing by artillery and aircraft.
On 5 September, the Soviet 24th and [[66th Army|66th]] Armies organized an attack against XIV Panzer Corps. The ''Luftwaffe'' helped stop the attack by attacking Soviet artillery and soldiers. The Soviets had to pull back. Of the 120 tanks the Soviets had sent into battle, 30 were lost to air attack.<ref name= Bergstrom2007/>
The Soviets were always being attacked by the ''Luftwaffe''. On 18 September, the Soviet [[1st Guards Army (Soviet Union)|1st Guards]] and [[24th Army (Soviet Union)|24th Army]] attacked VIII Army Corps . ''[[8th Air Corps (Germany)|VIII. Fliegerkorps]]'' sent [[Stuka]] dive-bombers to prevent the Soviets from advancing. The Soviet attack was stopped. The Stukas destroyed 41 of the 106 Soviet tanks that were destroyed that morning. German [[Bf 109]]s destroyed 77 Soviet aircraft.<ref name=Bergstrom2007/>{{Rp|p.80|date=May 2009}}
In the wrecked city, the Soviet [[62nd Army|62nd]] and 64th [[Army (Soviet Army)|Armies]], which included the Soviet [[13th Guards Rifle Division]], used houses and factories to hide in.
Fighting in city was very violent. Stalin's Order No. 227 of 27 July 1942 decreed that all commanders who retreated without being told to do so would have to go to a military tribunal.<ref name=Beevor/><sup>84-5</sup> "Not a step back!" was the slogan. The Germans attacking Stalingrad had many dead and wounded.
===Germany reaches the Volga===
After three months of slow advance, the Wermacht finally reached the river banks. The Germans captured 90% of the ruined city and split the Soviet forces into two parts. Ice on the Volga river made it impossible for the Soviets to bring in supplies by boat.
==Soviet counter-offensives==
[[File:RIAN archive 44732 Soviet soldiers attack house.jpg|thumb|250px|Soviet soldiers attack a house, February 1943]]
German troops were not ready for fighting during the winter of 1942. The [[Stavka]] did a number of attacks between November 19, 1942 and February 2, 1943. These operations started the Winter Campaign of 1942-1943 (19 November 1942 – 3 March 1943), which involved 15 armies.
=== Operation Uranus: the Soviet offensive ===
{{main|Operation Uranus}}
[[File:Map Battle of Stalingrad-en.svg|thumb|right|upright=1.1|The Soviet counter-attack at Stalingrad]]
In autumn, the Soviet generals [[Georgy Zhukov]] and Aleksandr Vasilevsky gathered their soldiers in the north and south of the city. The northern side was defended by Hungarian, and Romanian troops. The Don River had never been defended well by the German side. The Soviet plan was to attack and surround the German forces in the Stalingrad region.
The operation was code-named "Uran". It started with Operation Mars, aimed at [[Army Group Center]].<ref>Maps of the conflict. [http://www-cgsc.army.mil/carl/resources/csi/drea2/Maps.html#map17 Leavenworth Papers No. 2 Nomonhan: Japanese-Soviet Tactical Combat, 1939; MAPS] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090408133447/http://www-cgsc.army.mil/carl/resources/csi/drea2/Maps.html#map17 |date=2009-04-08 }}. Retrieved 5 December 2009.</ref>
On 19 November 1942, the [[Red Army]] launched Operation Uranus. The attacking Soviet units under the command of Gen. Nikolay Vatutin consisted of three armies. This included a total of 18 infantry [[Division (military)|divisions]], eight tank [[brigade]]s, two [[motor]]ized brigades, six [[cavalry]] divisions and one anti-tank brigade. The Soviets pushed past the Romanian Third Army. The response by the ''Wehrmacht'' was disorganized. Bad weather prevented air attacks against the Soviets.
On 20 November, a second Soviet offensive (two armies) was launched to the south of Stalingrad against the Romanian [[4th Army Corps (Romania)|4th Army Corps]]. The Romanians were overrun by large numbers of tanks. The Soviet forces moved west and made a ring around Stalingrad.<ref name="Shirer1990">Shirer (1990)</ref>{{Rp|p.926|date=June 2011}}

There were 210,000 Germans on 19 November 1942. There were also around 10,000 Soviet civilians and several thousand Soviet soldiers the Germans had taken captive during the battle. Not all of the 6th Army was trapped; 50,000 were not surrounded. Of the 210,000 Germans surrounded, 10,000 remained to fight, 105,000 surrendered, 35,000 left by air and the remaining 60,000 died.
The Red Army formed two defensive groups. Field Marshal [[Erich von Manstein]] told Hitler not to order the 6th Army to break out. Manstein thought that he could break through the Soviet troops and free the 6th Army.<ref name="Weinberg">Weinberg, Gerhard 2005. ''A world in arms'', Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.</ref><sup>p451</sup><ref>Murray, Williamson & Millet, Alan 2000.

Manstein was told to attack Stalingrad in Operation Winter Storm (''Unternehmen Wintergewitter''). He thought that this attack could work if the 6th Army was supplied through the air.<ref name=Manstein/><ref name=Weinberg/>
[[Adolf Hitler]] had said on 30 September 1942 that the German army would never leave the city. At a meeting shortly after the Soviets formed a ring around the Germans, the German army chiefs wanted to try to escape to the west of the [[River Don|Don]]. Hitler thought that the [[Luftwaffe]] could supply the 6th Army with an "air bridge". This would allow the Germans in the city to fight while a new force was assembled. A similar plan had been used a year earlier at the Demyansk Pocket.
The director of ''Luftflotte'' 4, [[Wolfram von Richthofen]], tried to get this decision stopped. The forces under 6th Army were almost twice as large as a regular German army unit, plus there was also a corps of the 4th Panzer Army trapped in the city. The maximum {{convert|117.5|ST|t|abbr=on}} they could deliver a day was far less than the minimum {{convert|800|ST|t|abbr=on}} needed.
To add to the limited number of [[Junkers Ju 52]] planes the Germans used other planes like the [[Heinkel He 177]] . General Richthofen told Manstein on 27 November that the Luftwaffe could not supply 300 tons a day by air. Manstein now saw the problems of a supply by air. The next day he made a report which said that the supply by air would be impossible. He said the Sixth Army should try to escape. He said that giving up Stalingrad would be a difficult loss, but that it would keep the Sixth Army intact.<ref>Kehrig, Manfred 1974. ''Stalingrad''. Stuttgart: Deutsche Verlags Anstalt, pages 279,311-312,575.</ref> Hitler said that the Sixth Army would have to stay at Stalingrad and that the air force would supply it until the Germans could attack the Soviets.
The ''Luftwaffe'' was able to deliver an average of {{convert|94|ST|t|abbr=on}} of supplies per day. The most successful day, 19 December, delivered {{convert|289|ST|t|abbr=on}} of supplies in 154 flights. In the early parts of the operation, more fuel was shipped than food and ammunition because the Germans thought they could escape from the city. Transport airplanes also flew out sick or wounded men from the city. The German attack did not reach the 6th Army. The air supply operation continued. The 6th Army slowly starved. 160 German transport aircraft were destroyed and 328 were heavily damaged. Some 266 Junkers Ju 52s were destroyed.
== Final stages ==
=== Operation Winter Storm ===
Soviet forces grouped together around Stalingrad. Violent fighting to attack the Germans began. Operation Winter Storm (''Operation Wintergewitter''), the German attempt to rescue the trapped army from the south, was at first successful. By 19 December, the German Army had pushed to within 48 km (30 mi) of Sixth Army's positions. Some German officers asked Paulus go against Hitler's orders and try to escape out of the Stalingrad. Paulus refused. On 23 December, Manstein's forces had to defend themselves from new Soviet attacks.
=== Operation Little Saturn ===
[[File:OperationLittleSaturn.PNG|thumb|right|upright=1.4|Soviet wins (shown in blue) during Operation Little Saturn]]
On 16 December, the Soviets launched Operation Little Saturn. It attempted to make a hole through the Axis army (mainly Italians) on the Don and capture [[Rostov-on-Don|Rostov]]. The Germans set up a defence of small units. 15 Soviet divisions—supported by at least 100 tanks—attacked the Italian Cosseria and Ravenna Divisions.<ref>{{cite book| last = Paoletti| first = Ciro| title = A Military History of Italy| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=Uz8eiwzEMHQC&pg=PA182| accessdate = 4 December 2009| year = 2008| publisher = Praeger Security International| location = Westport, CT| isbn = 978-0-275-98505-9| page = 177 }}</ref> The Soviets never got close to Rostov because of the Italian defence.
The German attempt to break through to Stalingrad was stopped and Army Group A was told to come back from the Caucasus.
The 6th Army could no longer hope to escape. The 6th Army did not have enough fuel. As well, the German soldiers have found it very hard to break through the Soviet lines on foot in the cold winter conditions.

The Germans were now not only starving, but running out of ammunition. They continued to fight because they thought the Soviets would execute any Germans who surrendered. A Soviet group (Major Aleksandr Smyslov, Captain Nikolay Dyatlenko and a trumpeter) carried an offer to Paulus: if he surrendered within 24 hours, he would receive a guarantee of safety for all prisoners, medical care for the sick and wounded, prisoners allowed to keep their personal belongings, food rations, and be sent to any country they wanted after the war.

Four Soviet armies attacked the remaining northern group. On 2 February, General Strecker surrendered. Around 91,000 tired, ill, wounded, and starving prisoners were taken, including 3,000 Romanians (the survivors of the 20th Infantry Division, 1st Cavalry Division and "Col.

Out of the nearly 110,000 German prisoners captured in Stalingrad, only about 6,000 ever returned. They were sent to prisoner camps and later to [[labour camp]]s all over the Soviet Union. Some 35,000 were eventually sent on transports, of which 17,000 did not survive. Some were kept in the city to help rebuild.

===Casualties===
{{For|civilian casualties in the battle|Battle of Stalingrad's impacts on civilians}}
Counting how many people were killed and wounded in the battle of Stalingrad is hard. One way is to only count the fighting within the city and suburbs. Another way of counting is to count all the fighting on the southern part of the Soviet-German front from the spring of 1942 to the winter of 1943. Different scholars have made different estimates depending on how widely you consider the battle.
The Axis had from 500,000 to 850,000 casualties (killed, wounded, captured) among all branches of the German armed forces and its allies<ref>Rayfield (2004)</ref>{{Rp|p.396|date=June 2011}} and only 5-6,000 returned to Germany by 1955.

On 2 February 1943, the fighting of Axis troops in Stalingrad stopped. Out of the 91,000 prisoners taken by the Soviets, 3,000 were Romanian.
The Red Army had a total of 1,129,619 total casualties;<ref name="autogenerated1">[http://www.hrono.info/sobyt/1900sob/1942stal.html Сталинградская битва] {{in lang|ru}}.

===Scope of the battle===
[[File:stalingrad aftermath.jpg|thumb|The aftermath of the Battle of Stalingrad]]
In the original 1942 plan, the occupation of Stalingrad had not been a goal. Based on the military successes of the Germans in the first month of the attacks, Hitler decided to expand the military goals. Hitler thought that the Soviet forces across the Don river were weak. The new goals included Stalingrad and even capturing the Volga.
Once the Armies began to fight in the for the city, both sides began to feel that it was very important to win. The Germans sent a lot of troops into the city. This meant that their side did not control the Don river and the Soviet bridges. The German side made steady progress in the fighting and eventually held about 90% of the city.
The German focus on the city made them not think of the weakness of their defenses along the Don and the massive buildup of Soviet forces on their sides. After the Soviet breakthrough, the Germans were very disorganized. The 6th Army was eventually reorganized in time for the [[Battle of Kursk]], but was made up mostly of new soldiers and was never as strong as it had once been.<ref name=Craig73/>{{Rp|p.386|date=May 2009}}
Germany failed at Stalingrad because they expanded the goals in the second half of July. After one month of success, the Germans started believing they could win the battle. Hitler ordered too many goals and he did not think Soviet reserves were as strong as they were. To the south of Stalingrad, Army Group A was trying to capture the oilfields.

Stalingrad was a turning point in the war. It also showed the discipline and determination of both the German ''[[Wehrmacht]]'' and the Soviet [[Soviet Army|Red Army]]. The Soviets first defended Stalingrad against a strong German attack. Newly arrived Soviet soldiers often died in less than a day. Soviet officers often died in three days.
Historians have talked about how much terror there was in the Red Army. Beevor noted the bravery of the Soviet soldiers.<ref name="Beevor1998"/>{{Rp|p.154–168|date=June 2011}} Richard Overy says that some people think that in the "summer of 1942 the Soviet army fought because it was forced to fight,” but he says this is not true<ref>Overy, Richard.

For the heroism of the Soviet defenders of Stalingrad, the city was awarded the title [[Hero City]] in 1945. Twenty-four years after the battle, in October 1967,<ref>Historical Memorial Complex "To the Heroes of the Stalingrad Battle" at Mamayev Hill.

The German Army showed a lot of discipline after being surrounded. Many German soldiers starved or froze to death. Yet, discipline was continued until the very end. General Friedrich Paulus obeyed Hitler's orders and did not attempt to escape out of the city. German ammunition, supplies, and food became scarce. Generals from both sides suffered from massive stress because of the battle and also because of the fact that they had to report to the most brutal leader in their nation's history. Many generals suffered health problems because of their stress.
Paulus followed his orders and fought to the very end. He asked for permission to surrender, but it was denied. Hitler promoted him to the rank of ''[[Generalfeldmarschall]]''. No German field marshal had ever surrendered, and the implication was clear. Hitler believed that Paulus would either fight to the last man or commit suicide.<ref>Bellamy (2007), 549.</ref> Paulus was taken prisoner.<ref>Beevor, p. 381</ref><ref group="Note">''Für so einen Schweinehund wie den böhmischen Gefreiten erschieße ich mich nicht!''

The battle is described in many books.
In the novel ''The Book Thief'', one character was presumed to have died or been captured in The Battle of Stalingrad.
In the 2011 video game [[Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad]], the game shows famous locations of the battle, such as [[Pavlov's House]], the Red October Factory and Mamayev Kurgan, among others.
The 2013 game, [[Company of Heroes 2]], showed the battle in certain missions.

The '''Pauline epistles''' are thirteen letters in the [[New Testament]] that most Christians believe were written by [[Paul the Apostle]],<ref name=":0">While seven of the letters traditionally attributed to Paul (Romans, 1-2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, and Philemon) are routinely accepted as authentic in modern scholarship, Ephesians, Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, 1-2 Timothy, and Titus remain disputed. For a relatively recent overview, see MacDonald, Margaret T. "The Deutero-Pauline Letters in Contemporary Research," in The Oxford Handbook of Pauline Studies (New York: Oxford University Press, 2014), 258-279.</ref> and they are the earliest [[Christian]] documents.{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} They show many of the beliefs and controversies within early Christianity,{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} since most of them are addressed to churches.
The [[First Epistle to Timothy]] (1 Timothy), the [[Second Epistle to Timothy]] (2 Timothy) and the [[Epistle to Titus]] (Titus), are known as the '''Pastoral epistles''' or '''Pastorals'''. These are the most debated epistles other than [[Second Epistle to the Thessalonians|2 Thessalonians]].<ref name=":0" />
== Order and Authorship ==
This is the traditional order that they appear in:
*[[Epistle to the Romans]]<ref name="undisputed">Most [[scholar]]s think this letter was written by Paul.</ref>
*[[First Epistle to the Corinthians]]<ref name="undisputed" />
*[[Second Epistle to the Corinthians]]<ref name="undisputed" />
*[[Epistle to the Galatians]]<ref name="undisputed" />
*[[Epistle to the Ephesians]]<ref name="maybepaul">Scholars do not know if this letter was written by Paul. Many believe, that it was probably not written by Paul; they say the language is very different to that used by Paul. Those who say that Paul was the author say that this letter fits in very well with the other letters written by Paul.</ref>
*[[Epistle to the Philippians]]<ref name="undisputed" />
*[[Epistle to the Colossians]]<ref name="evenlydivided">Modern scholars do not know if this letter was written by Paul. About half of them believe it was, the other half beileve it was not.</ref>
*[[First Epistle to the Thessalonians]]<ref name="undisputed" />
*[[Second Epistle to the Thessalonians]]<ref name="evenlydivided" />
*[[First Epistle to Timothy]]<ref name="maybepaul" />
*[[Second Epistle to Timothy]]<ref name="maybepaul" />
*[[Epistle to Titus]]<ref name="maybepaul" />
*[[Epistle to Philemon]]<ref name="undisputed" />
Scholars are only confident that seven of these epistles (''[[Epistle to the Romans|Romans]], [[First Epistle to the Corinthians|1 Corinthians]], [[Second Epistle to the Corinthians|2 Corinthians]], [[Epistle to the Galatians|Galatians]], [[Epistle to the Philippians|Philippians]], [[First Epistle to the Thessalonians|1 Thessalonians]], [[Epistle to Philemon|Philemon]]'') were actually written by Paul, while there is even divide for two of them (''[[Epistle to the Colossians|Colossians]], [[First Epistle to the Thessalonians|1 Thessalonians]]'').<ref name=":02">While seven of the letters traditionally attributed to Paul (Romans, 1-2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, and Philemon) are routinely accepted as authentic in modern scholarship, Ephesians, Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, 1-2 Timothy, and Titus remain disputed. For a relatively recent overview, see MacDonald, Margaret T. "The Deutero-Pauline Letters in Contemporary Research," in The Oxford Handbook of Pauline Studies (New York: Oxford University Press, 2014), 258-279.</ref> The remaining letters (''[[First Epistle to Timothy|1 Timothy]], [[Second Epistle to Timothy|2 Timothy]], [[Epistle to Titus|Titus]], [[Second Epistle to the Thessalonians|2 Thessalonians]]'') have the least scholarly support for being written by Paul, and most scholars consider them to be [[Pseudepigrapha|pseudepigraphic]].<ref name=":03">While seven of the letters traditionally attributed to Paul (Romans, 1-2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, and Philemon) are routinely accepted as authentic in modern scholarship, Ephesians, Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, 1-2 Timothy, and Titus remain disputed.

The '''Battle of the Bulge''' (16 December 1944 – 25 January 1945) was a major [[Nazi Germany|German]] attack near the end of [[World War II]], in [[Belgium]], [[France]] and [[Luxembourg]]. The attack surprised [[Allies of World War II|Allied forces]]. It was the worst battle in terms of [[Casualty (person)|casualties]] for the United States. It also used up huge amounts of Germany's war-making resources.
[[File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg|thumb|right|250px|Map showing the swelling of "the Bulge" as the German offensive progressed]]
The German attack was supported by several other operations. Germany's goal was to split the British and American [[Allies of World War II|Allied]] line in half, capture [[Antwerp]], and then encircle and destroy four Allied armies. They hoped this would force the [[Western Allies|Allies]] to make a [[peace treaty]] with Germany. If they did this, Hitler could focus on the [[Eastern Front (World War II)|eastern front of the war]].
The attack was planned in secret. Germany moved troops and equipment in the dark. United States [[Intelligence agency|intelligence staff]] predicted a major German attack, but this still surprised them. The Allied forces were focused on their own attack plans, and their [[aerial reconnaissance]] was poor.
The Germans attacked a weakly defended section of the Allied line. They attacked during bad weather. This was because the Allies could not use [[Airplane|planes]] if the weather was bad. Violent resistance blocked German access to important roads. The thick [[Forest|forests]] helped the defenders. This slowed the German advance and gave the Allies time to add new troops. Better weather conditions permitted air attacks on German forces, which led to the failure of the attack.
After the defeat, many experienced German units lacked men and equipment. The battle involved about 610,000 American men,{{sfn|Cirillo|2003|p=53}} of whom some 89,000 were casualties,{{sfn|Miles|2004}} including 19,000 killed.{{sfn|Miles|2004}}{{sfn|MacDonald|1998|p=618}} It was the largest and most deadly battle fought by the United States in World War II.<ref name="bloodiest">{{cite web | url = http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2008/12/a_time_to_remember_clifford_va.html | title = A time to remember: Clifford Van Auken remembers Battle of the Bulge, World War II's bloodiest U.S. battle | work = The Flint Journal | publisher = Michigan Live LLC | date = 16 December 2008 | accessdate = 21 February 2010 | archive-date = 12 May 2013 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130512134625/http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2008/12/a_time_to_remember_clifford_va.html | url-status = dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite video | people = McCullough, David |year=2005 | title = American Experience – The Battle of the Bulge| medium = Videotape }}</ref><ref>{{citation | first = Stephen E. | last = Ambrose | year = 1997 | title = Americans at War | publisher = University Press of Mississippi | page = 52 | isbn = 978-1-57806-026-9 }}</ref><ref>{{citation | first = Donald L. | last = Miller | year = 2002 | title = The Story of World War II | publisher = Simon & Schuster | page = 358 | isbn = 978-0-7432-1198-7 }}</ref><ref>{{citation | first = Jane | last = Penrose | year = 2009 | title = The D-Day Companion | publisher = Osprey Publishing | page = 267 | isbn = 978-1-84176-779-6 }}</ref>{{sfn|Delaforce|2004|p=211}}
== Background ==
After moving from [[Normandy landings|Normandy]] at the end of July 1944 and landing in southern France on 15 August 1944, the Allies advanced toward Germany more quickly than expected.{{efn|Operation Overlord planned for an advance to the line of the Seine by the 90th day following [[D-Day]] and an advance to the German frontier sometime after D+120.}} Allied troops were tired from weeks of continuous fighting and supplies were very low. The [[military logistics|supply]] situation improved in October but the lack of troops was still a major problem.
General [[Dwight D. Eisenhower|Eisenhower]] and his staff chose the [[Ardennes]] region, held by the First United States Army, as an area that could be held by as few troops as possible. The Ardennes were chosen because the terrain offered good defence and there were not many roads.<ref name="Fabianich">{{cite web | url = https://www.benning.army.mil/monographs/content/wwii/STUP2/FabianichKeith%20P.%20MAJ.pdf | title = The Operations of the 3rd Battalion, 395th Infantry (99th Infantry Division) Prior to and During the German Counter-Offensive, 10 November – 24 December 1944 (Ardennes Campaign) (Personal Experience of a Company Commander and Battalion Operations Officer) | last = Fabianich | first = Maj.

The speed of the Allied advance and a lack of [[deep-water port]]<nowiki/>s made it hard for the Allies to supply their troops.{{sfn|Shirer|1990|pp=1088–1089}} Beach supply operations using the Normandy landing areas could not supply enough provisions. The only port the Allies had captured was [[Cherbourg-Octeville|Cherbourg]], near the original invasion beaches,{{sfn|Shirer|1990|pp=1088–1089}} but the Germans had wrecked and [[Naval mine|mine]]<nowiki/>d it. It took the Allies many months to build up their ability to move cargo. The Allies captured the port of [[Antwerp]], Belgium, fully intact, in the first days of September, but it was not working until 28 November. The [[Scheldt|Scheldt River]] had to be cleared of both German troops and [[naval mine]]s.{{sfn|Shirer|1990|p=1086}}
The limitations led to disagreements between General [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] and Field Marshal [[Bernard Law Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein|Bernard Montgomery]] over whether Montgomery or American General [[Omar Bradley]] in the south would get access to supplies.{{sfn|Ryan|1995|p=68}}
German forces remained in control of several major ports on the [[English Channel]] coast until May 1945. The destruction of the French [[Rail transport|railway]] system before [[D-Day]] made it hard for the Germans to respond to the invasion. It was also a problem for the Allies, as it took time to repair the tracks and bridges.
A [[Truck|trucking]] system brought supplies to front-line troops, but transportation took huge amounts of [[fuel]] to reach the front line near the Belgian border. By early October the Allies stopped major attacks to improve their supply lines.{{sfn|Shirer|1990|pp=1088–1089}} Montgomery and Bradley both asked for delivery of supplies to their armies so they could continue to attack the Germans. Gen. Eisenhower wanted Montgomery's northern forces to open the port of Antwerp and capture the [[Ruhr area]], the industrial part of Germany.{{sfn|Shirer|1990|pp=1088–1089}}
With the Allies paused, German Field Marshal [[Gerd von Rundstedt]] was able to reorganize the German armies into an organized defense.{{sfn|Shirer|1990|pp=1088–1089}}
[[Field Marshal]] Montgomery's [[Operation Market Garden]] only achieved some of its goals. Its gains in territory left the Allied supply situation worse than before. In October the [[Canadian First Army]] fought the [[Battle of the Scheldt]], opening the port of Antwerp to shipping. As a result, by the end of October the supply situation got better.
Despite a pause in fighting after the Scheldt battles, the Germans had serious problems. While operations continued in the autumn, notably the [[Lorraine Campaign]], the [[Battle of Aachen]] and [[Battle of Hürtgen Forest|fighting in the Hürtgen Forest]], the situation in the west changed little.
The Allies were [[Operation Queen|slowly pushing towards Germany]], but they did not get there. The Western Allies already had 96 [[Division (military)|divisions]] at or near the front, with ten more divisions coming from the United Kingdom. Additional Allied airborne units remained in England. The Germans had a total of 55 divisions.{{sfn|Cole|1964|p=1}}
Adolf Hitler promised his generals 18 [[infantry]] and 12 [[Armoured vehicle|armored]] or mechanized divisions. The plan was to use 13 infantry divisions, two [[parachute]] divisions and six [[panzer]] divisions from [[Reserve|reserves]]. On the [[Eastern Front (World War II)|Eastern Front]] the Soviets' [[Operation Bagration]] during the summer had destroyed much of Germany's [[Army Group Center]]. The operation ended only when the advancing [[Soviet Army|Red Army]] forces ran out of supplies. By November, Soviet forces were preparing for a winter attack.{{sfn|Shirer|1990|p=1085}}
Meanwhile, the Allied air attacks of early 1944 had made the [[Luftwaffe|German Air Force]] unable to fly. This meant that the German Army had little [[battlefield intelligence]] and no way to stop Allied supplies. The daytime movement of German forces was easily noticed and stopping supplies combined with the bombing of the [[Petrochemical industry in Romania|Romanian oil fields]] meant Germany had no [[oil]] and [[gasoline]].
One of the few advantages held by the German forces in November 1944 was that they were no longer defending all of Western Europe. Their front lines in the west had been shortened and were much closer to the German borders. This reduced their supply problems despite Allied control of the air. Their [[telephone]] and [[Telegraphy|telegraph]] network meant that [[Radio|radios]] were no longer necessary for [[Communication|communications]], which lessened the effectiveness of Allied [[Enigma machine|Ultra]] code breaking. Nevertheless, some 40—50 coded messages were sent per day by ULTRA. They recorded the quadrupling of German fighter forces and noticed that an attack was planned. ULTRA also picked up information about a lot of rail and road movements in the region.{{sfn|Parker|1994|pp=122–123}}
=== Drafting the offensive ===
German leader [[Adolf Hitler]] felt that his mobile reserves allowed him to do one major attack. Although he realised nothing could be accomplished in the [[Eastern Front (World War II)|Eastern Front]], he still believed an offensive against the Western Allies could succeed.{{sfn|Weinberg|1964}} Hitler believed he could split the Allied forces and make the Americans and British to settle for a separate peace, independent of the Soviet Union.{{sfn|Shirer|1990|p=1091}} Success in the west would give the Germans time to design and produce more advanced weapons (such as [[jet aircraft]], new [[U-boat]] designs and [[super-heavy tank]]s) and permit the build-up of forces in the east. {{sfn|Shirer|1990|p=1092}} Given the reduced manpower of their land forces, the Germans believed that it was better to attack in the West against the smaller Allied forces rather than against the vast Soviet armies. Even the destruction of entire Soviet armies would still have left the Soviets with more soldiers. Several senior German military officers, such as Field Marshal [[Walter Model]] did not think the attack would work. They offered different plans, but Hitler would not listen. The plan needed bad weather, including heavy [[fog]] and low-lying [[cloud]]<nowiki/>s, which would make it hard for Allied planes to fly.{{sfn|Shirer|1990|p=1090}} Hitler originally set the attack for late November, before the start of the [[Vistula-Oder Offensive|Russian winter offensive]].
[[File:82nd Grave.jpg|thumb|The U.S. 82nd Airborne Div. dropping on Grave, during [[Operation Market Garden]].]]
In the west supply problems began slowing down Allied operations, even though the opening of the port of Antwerp in late November improved the situation. The positions of the Allied armies stretched from southern France all the way north to the [[Netherlands]]. The Germans wanted to attack the thin line of Allied forces. They thought this would stop Allied advances on the Western Front. Several plans for major Western attacks were prepared. A first plan was for an attack on the U.S. forces around [[Aachen]], to encircle the [[U.S. Ninth Army]]. A second plan was for a ''[[blitzkrieg]]'' attack through the weakly defended [[Ardennes Mountains]]. This aimed at splitting the armies along the U.S.—British lines and capturing [[Antwerp]].
Hitler chose the second plan. He liked the idea of splitting the Anglo-American armies. There were many disputes between Montgomery and Patton. Hitler hoped he could make use of these disagreements. If the attack captured Antwerp, four complete armies would be trapped without supplies behind German lines. Both plans aimed at attacks against the American forces. Hitler believed the Americans were not able to fight well. He thought that the American people would lose hope upon hearing of an American loss.
''[[Generalfeldmarschall]]'' (Field Marshal) [[Walther Model]] and Field Marshal [[Gerd von Rundstedt]] were ordered to lead the attacks. Model and von Rundstedt both believed aiming for Antwerp was too difficult, given Germany's lack of resources in late 1944. At the same time they felt that being just defensive would only delay defeat. They developed plans that did not aim to cross the [[Meuse River]]; Model's being ''[[Operation Herbstnebel (Northwest Europe)|Unternehmen Herbstnebel]]'' (Operation Autumn Mist) and von Rundstedt's ''[[Fall Martin]]'' ("Plan Martin"). The two field marshals showed their plans to Hitler, who rejected them in favor of his "big solution".{{efn|''Die Ardennenoffensive'' was also named ''Runstedtoffensive''.

=== Operation names ===
The phrase "Battle of the Bulge" was made up by contemporary press to describe the way the Allied front line bulged inward on wartime news maps.{{sfn|Cirillo|2003|p=4}}{{efn|{{harvnb|Eggenberger|1985}} cites the official name as Ardennes-Alsace campaign; David Eggenberger describes this battle as the ''Second Battle of the Ardennes''.}}{{sfn|Stanton|2006|p= }} It is also called the '''Ardennes Offensive''' or '''Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein'''. After the war ended, the [[United States Army|U.S. Army]] issued the Ardennes-Alsace medal to units that took part in operations in northwest Europe. The medal covered the Ardennes sector where the battle took place and units further south in the [[Alsace]] sector.

[[File:German Wacht Am Rhein Offensive Plan.png|thumb|upright=1.8|The German plan]]
OKW decided by mid-September, on Hitler's orders, that the attack would be started in the Ardennes, as was done [[Battle of France|in 1940]]. Many German generals objected, but the attack was planned and carried out. In 1940 German forces had passed through the Ardennes in three days before attacking the enemy, but the 1944 plan called for battle in the forest. The main forces were to advance westward to the [[Meuse|Meuse River]], then turn northwest for Antwerp and [[Brussels]]. The thick forests of the Ardennes would make movement difficult. There was open ground beyond the Meuse where the Germans could move quickly to the coast.
Four armies were selected for the operation. First was the [[6th Panzer Army|Sixth Panzer Army]], under SS General [[Sepp Dietrich]]—newly created on 26 October 1944, it used the most senior and the most experienced ''[[Waffen-SS]]'': the [[Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler|1st SS Panzer Division ''Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler'']] as well as the [[SS Division Hitlerjugend|12th SS Panzer Division ''Hitlerjugend'']]. The 6th Panzer Army was the northernmost attack force. It was ordered to capture [[Antwerp]]. The [[5th Panzer Army|Fifth Panzer Army]] under General [[Hasso von Manteuffel]] was ordered to capture [[Brussels]]. The [[7th Army (Wehrmacht)|Seventh Army]], under General [[Erich Brandenberger]], was ordered to the southernmost attack. This Army was made up of only four infantry divisions, with no armoured groups. As a result, they made little progress throughout the battle. Also participating in a secondary role was the [[15th Army (Wehrmacht)|Fifteenth Army]], under General [[Gustav-Adolf von Zangen]]. It was located on the far north of the Ardennes battlefield. It was ordered to hold U.S. forces in place. It could also attack if conditions were right.
For the attack to be successful, four elements were needed: the attack had to be a complete surprise; the weather conditions had to be poor to stop Allied [[air superiority]];{{sfn|Parker|1994|p=118}} the progress had to be rapid. Allied fuel supplies would have to be captured because the [[Wehrmacht]] was short on fuel. The General Staff estimated they only had enough fuel to cover one-third to one-half of the ground to Antwerp.
The plan originally called for just under 45 divisions, including a dozen [[panzer]] and [[panzergrenadier]] divisions forming the [[armored spearhead]] and various infantry units to form a defensive line. By this time, however, the German Army suffered from a manpower shortage and the force had been reduced to around 30 divisions. Although it retained most of its armor, there were not enough infantry units because of the defensive needs in the East. These 30 newly rebuilt [[division (military)|divisions]] used some of the last reserves of the German Army. Among them were ''[[Volksgrenadier]]'' units formed from a mix of veterans and recruits formerly regarded as too young or too old to fight. Training time, equipment and supplies were inadequate during the preparations. German fuel supplies were inadequate. Materials and supplies that could not be transported by rail had to be [[Horse-drawn carriage|horse-drawn]] to conserve fuel. The mechanized and panzer divisions would depend heavily on captured fuel. As a result, the start of the attack was delayed from 27 November to 16 December.
Before the offensive the Allies were not aware of German troop movement. During the liberation of France, the [[French resistance]] had provided information about German movements. Once they reached the German border, this information was not available. In Germany such orders were typically transmitted using telephone and [[teleprinter]], and a special [[radio silence]] order was made on all communications about the attack.{{sfn|MacDonald|1984|p=40}} The major crackdown in the ''Wehrmacht'' after the [[20 July plot]] to kill Hitler resulted in much tighter security and fewer information leaks. The foggy autumn weather also prevented Allied reconnaissance aircraft from seeing the Germans on the ground. German units in the area were given [[charcoal]] instead of wood for cooking fires to cut down on smoke and reduce chances of Allied observers realizing a troop build up was underway. {{sfn||Cole|1964|p=21}}
Allied High Command considered the Ardennes a quiet sector. Allied intelligence services said that the Germans were unable to launch any major attacks this late in the war. The Allies thought that the Germans were getting ready for defence. The Allies thought that a new defensive army was being formed around [[Düsseldorf]] in the northern Rhine. The Germans tricked the Allies by increasing the number of [[flak]] [[Artillery battery|batteries]] in the area and making more radio transmissions in the area.
The attack, when it came, completely surprised the Allied forces. The U.S. Third Army intelligence chief, Colonel [[Oscar Koch]], the U.S. First Army intelligence chief and the [[Kenneth Strong|SHAEF intelligence officer]] had warned that the Germans might attack the U.S. VIII Corps area. These warnings were ignored by the U.S. 12th Army Group.<ref>{{citation | last = Dougherty | first = Kevin | year = 2002 | url = http://www.fas.org/irp/agency/army/mipb/2002_04.pdf | title = Oscar Koch: An Unsung Hero Behind Patton's Victories | journal = Military Intelligence Professional Bulletin April–June 2002 | pages = 64–66 | volume = 28 | issue = 1 | postscript = . }}</ref> Because the Ardennes was considered a quiet sector, the Allies used it as a training ground for new units and a rest area. The U.S. units deployed in the Ardennes thus were a mixture of inexperienced troops (such as the U.S. [[99th Infantry Division (United States)|99th]] and [[106th Infantry Division (United States)|106th "Golden Lions" Division]]s), and [[veteran]] troops sent to that sector to rest (the [[U.S. 28th Infantry Division|28th Infantry Division]]).
Two major [[special operations]] were planned for the attack. By October it was decided that [[Otto Skorzeny]], the German [[commando]] was to lead a task force of English-speaking German soldiers. These soldiers were to be dressed in American and British [[uniform]]s. They would go behind American lines and change signposts, misdirect traffic, cause disruption and seize bridges across the Meuse River between [[Liège (city)|Liège]] and [[Namur (city)|Namur]]. By late November, another special operation was added: [[Col.]] [[Friedrich August von der Heydte]] was to lead a ''[[Fallschirmjäger (Nazi Germany)|Fallschirmjäger]]'' (paratrooper) ''[[Kampfgruppe]]'' in [[Operation Stösser]], a night-time [[Paratrooper|paratroop]] drop behind the Allied lines aimed at capturing an important road near [[Malmedy]].{{sfn||MacDonald|1984|pp=86–89}}{{sfn||Toland|1999|p=16,19}}
German intelligence had set 20 December as the expected date for the start of the [[Vistula–Oder Offensive|upcoming Soviet attack]].
After the [[20 July plot]] attempt to kill Hitler's life, and the advance of the [[Red Army]], Hitler and his staff left the [[Wolfsschanze]] headquarters in [[East Prussia]]. After a brief visit to [[Berlin]], Hitler travelled on his [[Führersonderzug|''Führersonderzug'' (train)]] to [[Giessen]] on 11 December, taking up residence in the [[Adlerhorst]] command complex at [[Kranzberg|Kransberg]] Castle.
Von Rundstedt set up his operational headquarters near [[Limburg an der Lahn|Limburg]], close enough for the generals and Panzer Corps commanders who were to lead the attack to visit Alderhost.
In a personal conversation on 13 December between [[Walther Model]] and [[Friedrich August Freiherr von der Heydte|Friedrich von der Heydte]], who was put in charge of [[Operation Stösser|Operation ''Stösser'']], von der Heydte gave Operation ''Stösser'' less than a 10% chance of succeeding. Model told him it was necessary to make the attempt.{{sfn|Parker|2004|p=132}}
== Initial German assault ==
[[File:Western Front Ardennes 1944.jpg|thumb|Situation on the Western Front as of 15 December 1944]]
On 16 December 1944, at 5:30 am, the Germans began the attack with a 90-minute artillery attack using 1,600 artillery pieces.{{sfn|Quarrie|1999|p=}} The Americans thought was that this was an attack resulting from the Allies' recent attack in the [[Wahlerscheid]] sector to the north. In the northern sector [[Sepp Dietrich|Dietrich]]'s 6th Panzer Army was held up for almost 24 hours by a single platoon and four U.S. [[artillery observer|Forward Artillery Observers]]. They then attacked [[Losheim Gap]] and [[Elsenborn Ridge]] to get through to [[Liège]] and Antwerp. Heavy snowstorms occurred in the Ardennes area. This kept the Allied aircraft grounded, but it also slowed the German advance. There were massive traffic jams and fuel shortages. [[Hasso von Manteuffel|von Manteuffel]]'s [[5th Panzer Army|Fifth Panzer Army]] attacked towards [[Bastogne]] and [[St. Vith]]. In the south, [[Erich Brandenberger|Brandenberger]]'s [[7th Army (Wehrmacht)|Seventh Army]] moved towards [[Luxembourg]].
Only one month before 250 members of the Waffen-SS had tried to recapture the town of [[Vianden]] from the [[German occupation of Luxembourg in World War II|Luxembourgish resistance]] during the [[Battle of Vianden]]. The SS lost.
== Attack on the northern shoulder ==
{{Wikisource|The Ardennes: Battle of the Bulge/Chapter V|The Sixth Panzer Army Attack}}
The battle for [[Elsenborn Ridge]] was an important part of the Battle of the Bulge.{{sfn||MacDonald|1984|p=410}} The attack was led by one of the best equipped German divisions on the western front, the [[1st SS Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler|1st SS Panzer Division]]. The division made up the lead unit for the entire German [[6th Panzer Army]]. [[Waffen-SS|SS]] [[Obersturmbannführer]] [[Joachim Peiper]] led [[Kampfgruppe]] Peiper, consisting of 4,800 men and 600 vehicles.{{sfn|Cole|1964|p=age needed|date=October 2010}}
[[File:Battle of the Bulge 6th.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8|[[Sepp Dietrich]] led the Sixth Panzer Army in the northernmost attack route.]]
The attacks by the Sixth Panzer Army's infantry units in the north did badly because of strong resistance by the U.S. 2nd and 99th Infantry Divisions. On the first day, a German battalion of 500 men was held up for 10 hours. The infantry of the 9th Fallschirmjaeger Regiment, [[3rd Parachute Division (Germany)|3rd Fallschirmjaeger Division]] had been ordered to attack the village first. A single 18-man platoon from the [[99th Infantry Division (United States)#Most decorated platoon of World War II|99th Infantry Division]] and four Forward Air Controllers held up the battalion of about 500 German paratroopers until sunset causing 92 casualties among the Germans. This stopped the German advance. Kampfgruppe Peiper, at the head of the [[Waffen-SS|SS]] [[Oberstgruppenführer]] [[Josef Dietrich|Sepp Dietrich]]'s [[6th Panzer Army|Sixth Panzer Army]] had been ordered to take the Losheim-Losheimergraben road.{{sfn||Cole|1964|p=83}} Peiper did not begin his advance until nearly 4:00 pm, more than 16 hours behind schedule. Kampfgruppe Peiper reached Bucholz Station in the early morning of 17 December and captured portions of the 3rd Battalion of the 394th Infantry Regiment. They seized a U.S. fuel depot at [[Büllingen]], where they refuelled before continuing westward.
To the north, the [[277th Volksgrenadier Division (Germany)|277th Volksgrenadier Division]] attempted to break through the U.S. [[99th Infantry Division (United States)|99th Infantry Division]] and positions of [[2nd Infantry Division (United States)|2nd Infantry Division]]. The [[12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend|12th SS Panzer Division]], reinforced by additional infantry (Panzergrenadier and Volksgenadier) divisions, took [[Büllingen|Losheimergraben]] and attacked the villages of Rocherath and Krinkelt.
[[File:GERMAN TROOPS ADVANCING PAST ABANDONED AMERICAN EQUIPMENT.jpg|thumb|German troops advancing past abandoned American equipment]]
Their intention was to control the villages of Rocherath-Krinkelt which would clear a path to [[Elsenborn Ridge]]. This would give the Germans control of the roads to the south and west and ensure supply to Kampfgruppe Peiper's armored force.
The American defense prevented the Germans from reaching the supplies near the Belgian cities of [[Liège]] and [[Spa, Belgium|Spa]].{{sfn||Cole|1964|pp=259–260}} After more than ten days of battle, they pushed the Americans out of the villages, but were unable to move them from the ridge. The [[V Corps (United States)|V Corps]] of the [[1st Army (United States)|First U.S. Army]] prevented the German forces from reaching the roads to their west. The 99th Infantry Division was outnumbered but it caused a lot of German dead and wounded. The division lost about 20% of its strength, including 465 killed and 2,524 evacuated due to wounds, injuries or fatigue. German losses were much higher. In the northern sector, this included more than 4,000 deaths and the destruction of sixty tanks and big guns.<ref name="dean">{{cite web | url = http://www.militaryhistoryonline.com/wwii/articles/hofendefense.aspx | title = Why the Bulge Didn't Break: Green Troops Grew Up Fast to Become Heroes of Hofen | last = Dean | first = Rob | work = American Forces in World War II | publisher = Military History Online | accessdate =17 March 2009 | archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20090225230026/http://www.militaryhistoryonline.com/wwii/articles/hofendefense.aspx| archivedate= 25 February 2009 | url-status= live}}</ref> Historian [[John Eisenhower|John S.D.

Following the Malmedy massacre, on New Year's Day 1945, after having previously received orders to take no prisoners,{{sfn|Schrijvers|2005|p=303f}} American soldiers shot sixty German prisoners of war near the Belgian village of [[Chenogne]] (8 km from [[Bastogne]]).{{sfn|Sorge|1986|p=147}}
=== Germans advance west ===
By the evening the Germans had pushed north to fight the U.S. 99th Infantry Division. Peiper's forces were late because of the American resistance and because when the Americans fell back, they blew up bridges and emptied fuel storage. Peiper's unit was delayed and his vehicles needed fuel. They took 36 hours to advance from [[Eifel]] to [[Stavelot]].

Kampfgruppe Peiper attacked Stavelot on 18 December but was unable to capture the town before the Americans emptied a large fuel depot.{{sfn|Bouwmeester|2004|p= }} Three tanks attempted to take the bridge, but the lead tank was disabled by a mine. 60 [[Grenadier|grenadiers]] advanced forward but were stopped by American fire. After a tank battle the next day, the Germans entered the village when Peiper rushed toward the bridge at [[Trois-Ponts]], leaving the most of his force in Stavelot. When they reached it at 1130 on 18 December, retreating U.S. engineers blew it up.{{sfn|Bouwmeester|2004|p= }}{{sfn|Toland|1999|p=103,104}} Peiper went north. At [[Cheneux]], he was attacked by American fighter-bombers, destroying two tanks and five [[halftracks]]. The group got moving at dusk at 1600. Of the two bridges now remaining between Kampfgruppe Peiper and the Meuse, the bridge over the [[Lienne]] was blown by the Americans as the Germans approached.
Peiper turned north and stopped his forces in the woods between La Gleize and [[Stoumont]].{{sfn|Bouwmeester|2004|p= }} He learned that [[Stoumont]] was strongly held and that the Americans were bringing up new troops from Spa. To Peiper's south, the advance of Kampfgruppe Hansen had stopped. SS Sturmbannführer Knittel crossed the bridge at Stavelot, but the Americans recaptured Stavelot. Peiper and Knittel both were at risk of being cut off.{{sfn|Bouwmeester|2004|p= }}
=== German advance halted ===
At dawn on 19 December, Peiper attacked the American defenders of Stoumont. He sent infantry from the 2nd SS Panzergrenadier Regiment in an attack and a company of Fallschirmjäger. He followed this with a Panzer attack, gaining the eastern edge of the town. An American tank battalion arrived but Peiper finally captured Stoumont at 1030. Knittel joined up with Peiper and reported the Americans had recaptured Stavelot to their east.{{sfn|Bouwmeester|2004|p= }} Peiper ordered Knittel to retake Stavelot. He thought Kampfgruppe did not have enough fuel to cross the bridge west of Stoumont. On the same evening the U.S. [[82nd Airborne Division]] under Maj. Gen. [[James M. Gavin|James Gavin]] arrived at La Gleize. Kampfgruppe Sandig, which had been ordered to take Stavelot, launched another attack without success. Sixth Panzer Army commander SS-[[Oberstgruppenführer]] [[Sepp Dietrich]] ordered [[Hermann Prieß]], commanding officer of the I SS Panzer Corps, to help Peiper's Kampfgruppe, but Prieß was unable to break through.{{sfn|Bouwmeester|2004|p= }}
Small units of the U.S. 2nd Battalion of the 119th Regiment attacked the Kampfgruppe Peiper during the morning of 21 December. They were pushed back and a number captured, including their battalion commander, Maj. Hal McCown. Attempting to withdraw from Cheneux, American paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division engaged the Germans in violent fighting. The Americans shelled Kampfgruppe Peiper on 22 December. Although the Germans had run out of food and had no fuel, they continued to fight. A Luftwaffe resupply mission went badly, parachuting supplies to American troops in Stoumont.{{sfn|Bouwmeester|2004|p= }} In La Gleize, Peiper set up defences. He decided to break through back to the German lines on 23 December. The men of the ''[[Kampfgruppe]]'' abandoned their vehicles and heavy equipment.{{sfn|MacDonald|1984|p=461,463}}
=== Operation Stösser ===
Operation Stösser was a paratroop drop into the American rear in the [[High Fens]] area. The goal was the "[[Baraque Michel]]" crossroads. {{sfn|Goldstein|Dillon|Wenger|1994|p=88}} It was the German paratroopers' only nighttime drop during World War II. The [[2nd Parachute Corps (Germany)|II Parachute Corps]] sent 100 men from each of its regiments.{{sfn|Parker|2004|p=130}} They had little time to train together. The parachute drop was a failure. Von der Heydte ended up with around 300 troops. Their force was too small and too weak to counter the Allies. They withdrew towards Germany and attacked the rear of the American lines. Only about 100 of his tired men finally reached the German rear.{{sfn|Parker|2004|p=137}}
=== Wereth 11 ===
Another, much smaller massacre was committed in [[Wereth]], Belgium, on 17 December 1944. Eleven black American soldiers, after surrendering, were tortured and then shot by men of the [[1st SS Panzer Division]], belonging to Kampfgruppe [[Gustav Knittel|Knittel]]. Men from Third Company of the Reconnaissance Battalion were responsible.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.wereth.org/_en/en_history.php | title = Remembering the invisible soldiers of the Battle of the Bulge | publisher = U.S. Wereth Memorial website | date = 29 June 1944 | accessdate = 12 July 2011 | archive-date = 28 July 2011 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110728173150/http://www.wereth.org/_en/en_history.php | url-status = dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | first = Steven | last = Hoover | url = http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=33014 | title = Wereth 11 Remembered in Ceremony | publisher = Defense.gov | accessdate =12 July 2011 }}</ref>

[[File:Battle of the Bulge 5th.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8|[[Hasso von Manteuffel]] led Fifth Panzer Army in the middle attack route]]
The Germans did better when the Fifth Panzer Army attacked positions held by the U.S. [[28th Infantry Division (United States)|28th]] and 106th Infantry Divisions. The Germans lacked the strength that they had in the north, but they still had more troops and weapons than the 28th and 106th divisions. They surrounded two regiments (422nd and 423rd) of the 106th Division and forced their surrender.{{sfn|Liddell Hart|1970|p=653}}
The official U.S. Army history states: "At least seven thousand [men] were lost here and the figure probably is closer to eight or nine thousand."{{sfn|Cole|1964|p=170}}
=== Battle for St. Vith ===
In [[Saint-Vith|St. Vith]], it was hard for von Manteuffel's and Dietrich's forces. The defenders resisted the German attacks. This slowed down the German advance. Montgomery ordered St. Vith to be evacuated on 21 December. U.S. troops got into [[Trench|trenches]], which made the German advance hard. By 23 December, U.S. troops were ordered to [[Withdrawal (military)|retreat]] west of the [[Salm River]]. Since the German plan called for the capture of St. Vith by 18:00 on 17 December, they were behind schedule.{{sfn|Cole|1964|p=407}}
=== Meuse River bridges ===
[[File:British Sherman Firefly Namur.jpg|thumb|left|British [[Sherman Firefly|Sherman "Firefly"]] tank in Namur on the Meuse River, December 1944]]
To protect the river crossings on the Meuse, Montgomery ordered units to hold the bridges on 19 December. The German advance in the center was the most successful. Fifth Panzer Army was led by the 2nd Panzer Division while [[Panzer Lehr Division]] came up from the south. The [[Ourthe River]] was passed at [[Ourtheville]] on 21 December. Lack of fuel held up the advance for one day, but on 23 December the attack continued towards the towns of [[Hargimont]] and [[Marche-en-Famenne|Marche]]. Hargimont was captured the same day, but Marche was defended by the American [[84th Division (United States)|84th Division]]. Gen. [[Heinrich Freiherr von Lüttwitz|Lüttwitz]], commander of the [[XLVII Panzer Corps (Germany)|XXXXVII Panzer Corps]], ordered the Division to turn west towards [[Dinant]] and the Meuse. 2nd Panzer Division was still advancing quickly. On 22/23 December the woods of [[Foy-Notre-Dame]] were reached, near Dinant. On 24 December the furthest point was reached. Panzer Lehr Division took the town of [[Celles, Houyet|Celles]]. Farther north, parts of 2nd Panzer Division were close to the Meuse. An Allied force prevented the German forces from approaching the Dinant bridge. By late Christmas Eve the advance in this sector was stopped by Allied forces.{{sfn|Zaloga|2004|pp=76–83}}
=== Operation Greif and Operation Währung ===
{{Wikisource|The Ardennes: Battle of the Bulge/Chapter XI|The 1st SS Panzer Division's Dash Westward, and Operation Greif}}
For Operation Greif, Otto Skorzeny got English-speaking Germans in American uniforms behind the Allied lines. Although they failed to take the bridges over the Meuse, they caused confusion and rumors spread quickly.{{sfn|Shirer|1990|p=1092}} Even General [[George S. Patton|George Patton]] was worried and described the situation to General [[Dwight D. Eisenhower|Dwight Eisenhower]].
[[Checkpoint|Checkpoints]] were set up all over the Allied rear, greatly slowing the movement of soldiers and equipment. [[Military Police|American MPs]] at these checkpoints asked troops about things that every American was expected to know. {{sfn|Shirer|1990|p=1092}}<ref>{{cite book |title=Decisive Battles: From Yorktown to Operation Desert Storm |author=Jonathon Riley |date=11 August 2010 |publisher=[[Bloomsbury Publishing]] |page=171}}</ref> The tightened security made things very hard for the German soldiers to move about, and a number of them were captured. Even during interrogation, they spread lies. when asked about their mission, some of them claimed they had been told to go to Paris to either kill or capture General Dwight Eisenhower.{{sfn|Shirer|1990|p=1090}} Security around the general was greatly increased, and Eisenhower was kept in his headquarters.
Because Skorzeny's men were captured in American uniforms, they were executed as [[Espionage|spies]].{{sfn|Shirer|1990|p=1092}}<ref>{{cite book |title=Men of Steel: I SS Panzer Corps: The Ardennes and Eastern Front, 1944-45 |author=Michael Reynolds |date=1 February 2006 |page=58 |publisher=[[Casemate Publishers]] |isbn=1-9320-3351-3 }}</ref> This was the standard practice of every army at the time.<ref>{{cite book |title=Substantive and Procedural Aspects of International Criminal Law:The Experience of International and National Courts |editor=Gabrielle McDonald |date= 1 May 2000 |page=1951 |publisher=[[Springer Publishing|Springer]] |isbn=9-0411-1135-2 }}</ref> Skorzeny said that he was told by German legal experts that as long he doesn't order his men to fight in combat while wearing American uniforms, such a tactic was a legitimate trick.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Law of Armed Conflict: International Humanitarian Law in War |url=https://archive.org/details/lawarmedconflict00soli |author=Gary D.

In Operation Währung, a small number of German agents went behind Allied lines in American uniforms. They tried to bribe rail and port workers to cause problems with Allied supply operations. However, this operation was a failure.
== Attack in the south ==
[[File:Battle of the Bulge 7th.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8|[[Erich Brandenberger]] led Seventh Army in the southernmost attack route]]
Further south attacking divisions crossed the [[River Our]]. The [[112th Infantry Regiment (United States)|112th Infantry Regiment]] kept German troops from using the Our River bridges around Ouren for two days, before withdrawing.

The 109th and 110th Regiments of the 28th Division did badly. They had so few troops that the Germans got around their positions. Both resisted and slowed down the German schedule by several days. Panzer groups captured villages and advanced near [[Bastogne]] within four days. The battles for the villages and American [[strongpoint]]s, and transport confusion on the German side, slowed the attack down. This allowed the [[101st Airborne Division]] to reach Bastogne on 19 December. The defense of Bastogne made it impossible for the Germans to take the town. The ''panzers'' went past on either side, cutting off Bastogne on 20 December. In the south, Brandenberger's three infantry divisions were stopped by divisions of the [[U.S. VIII Corps]]. Only the [[5th Parachute Division (Germany)|5th Parachute Division]] of Brandenberger's command was able to move forward.
Eisenhower and his commanders realized by 17 December that the fighting in the [[Ardennes]] was a major offensive and not a small attack, and they ordered many new troops to the area. Within a week 250,000 troops had been sent. Gen. Gavin of the [[82nd Airborne Division]] ordered the 101st to hold Bastogne. The 82nd had to battle the SS Panzer Divisions.
=== Siege of Bastogne ===
By the time the senior Allied commanders met on 19 December, the town of Bastogne and its 11 roads had been held by the Germans for several days. Two separate westbound German columns got stopped by defensive positions up to ten miles from the town.
[[File:German soldier Ardennes 1944.jpeg|thumb|left|upright|A German machine gunner marching through the Ardennes in December 1944.]]
Gen. Eisenhower realized that the Allies could destroy German forces much more easily when they were out in the open. Patton had ordered his staff to prepare three plans for a northward turn.{{sfn|Ambrose|1998|p=208}} On 20 December, Eisenhower removed the First and Ninth U.S. Armies from Gen. Bradley's [[12th Army Group]] and placed them under Montgomery's [[British 21st Army Group|21st Army Group]].{{sfn|MacDonald|1984|p=422}}
[[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-J28589, Kriegsgefangene amerikanische Soldaten.jpg|thumb|U.S. [[Prisoner of War|POWs]] on 22 December 1944]]
By 21 December the Germans had surrounded [[Bastogne]], which was defended by the [[101st Airborne Division]] and Combat Command B of the [[10th Armored Division (United States)|10th Armored Division]]. Conditions inside the town were tough. Food was scarce, and by 22 December artillery ammunition was restricted to 10 rounds per gun per day. The weather cleared the next day, however, and supplies (ammunition) were dropped over four of the next five days.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.history.army.mil/books/wwii/Bastogne/bast-17.htm | title = History.army.mil | publisher = History.army.mil | accessdate = 12 July 2011 | archive-date = 14 January 2011 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110114082547/http://www.history.army.mil/books/wwii/Bastogne/bast-17.htm | url-status = dead }}</ref> Despite German attacks, the town held.

Both 2nd Panzer and Panzer Lehr moved forward from Bastogne after 21 December. The 26th VG received one panzergrenadier regiment on Christmas Eve for its attack the next day. Because it lacked troops and those of the 26th VG Division were tired, the XLVII Panzer Corps concentrated its attack on several locations on the west side. The attack was defeated and all the tanks destroyed. The next day, 26 December, Gen. Patton's 4th Armored Division broke through and opened a passage to Bastogne.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.history.army.mil/books/wwii/Bastogne/bast-21.htm | title = History.army.mil | publisher = History.army.mil | accessdate = 12 July 2011 | archive-date = 14 January 2011 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110114082602/http://www.history.army.mil/books/wwii/Bastogne/bast-21.htm | url-status = dead }}</ref>
== Allied counteroffensive ==
[[File:Battle of the Bulge progress.svg|thumb|upright=1.6|The original objectives are outlined in red dashed lines. The orange line indicates their furthest advance.]]
On 23 December, the weather conditions started improving, allowing the Allied air forces to attack. They bombed the German supply points in their rear. [[P-47 Thunderbolt]]s started attacking the German troops on the roads. Allied air forces also helped the defenders of Bastogne, dropping [[medicine]], food, [[Blanket|blankets]], and [[ammunition]]. A team of volunteer [[surgery|surgeon]]s flew in by [[military glider]] and began operating.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.historynet.com/world-war-ii-pathfinders-resupply-101st-airborne-division-troops-in-bastogne-via-daring-parachute-drop.htm | title = Historynet.com | date = 12 June 2006 | publisher = Historynet.com | accessdate =12 July 2011 }}</ref>
By 24 December, the German advance was stopped near the Meuse. Units of the [[XXX Corps (United Kingdom)|British XXX Corps]] were holding the bridges at Dinant, [[Givet]], and [[Namur (city)|Namur]] and U.S. units were about to take over. The Germans had no supplies, and shortages of fuel and ammunition were becoming serious. Up to this point the German losses had been light, especially in armor, which was almost unharmed with the exception of Peiper's losses. On the evening of 24 December, General [[Hasso von Manteuffel]] recommended to Hitler a stop to all operations and a withdrawal. Hitler said no.
However, confusion at the Allied command prevented a strong response. In the center, on Christmas Eve, the [[2nd Armored Division (United States)|2nd Armored Division]] attempted to attack the 2nd Panzer Division at the Meuse. The [[4th Cavalry Regiment (United States)|4th Cavalry Group]] attacked the 9th Panzer Division at Marche. As result, parts of the 2nd Panzer Division were cut off. On 26 and 27 December the trapped units of 2nd Panzer Division made two break-out attempts. Further Allied attacks near Marche led the Germans to know that no further action towards the Meuse was possible.{{sfn|Zaloga|2004|pp=84–86}} In the south, Patton's Third Army was battling to help the US troops in Bastogne. At 16:50 on 26 December, the [[U.S. 37th Armor Regiment|Company D, 37th Tank Battalion]] of the [[U.S. 4th Armored Division|4th Armored Division]], reached Bastogne, ending the siege.
== German counterattack ==
On 1 January, in an attempt to keep the offensive going, the Germans launched two new operations. At 09:15, the ''Luftwaffe'' launched ''[[Unternehmen Bodenplatte]]'' (Operation Baseplate), a major campaign against Allied [[Airfield|airfields]] in the [[Low Countries]]. Hundreds of planes attacked Allied airfields, destroying or severely damaging some 465 aircraft. However, the ''Luftwaffe'' lost 277 planes, 62 to Allied fighters and 172 mostly because of an unexpectedly high number of Allied [[flak]] guns, set up to protect against German [[V-1 flying bomb]] attacks and using [[proximity fused]] shells, but also by [[friendly fire]] from the German flak guns that were uninformed of the pending large-scale German air operation. The Germans suffered heavy losses at an airfield named [[Asch Airfield|Y-29]], losing 24 of their own planes while downing only one American plane. While the Allies recovered from their losses in just days, the operation left the ''Luftwaffe'' weak and ineffective for the remainder of the war.{{sfn|Weinberg|1995|p=769}}
On the same day, German [[Army Group G]] (''Heeresgruppe G'') and [[Army Group Oberrhein (Germany)|Army Group Upper Rhine]] (''Heeresgruppe Oberrhein'') launched a major offensive against the thinly stretched, {{convert|70|mi|km}} line of the Seventh U.S. Army. This offensive, known as ''[[Operation Nordwind|Unternehmen Nordwind]]'' (Operation North Wind), was the last major German offensive of the war on the Western Front. The weakened Seventh Army had, at Eisenhower's orders, sent troops, equipment, and supplies north to reinforce the American armies in the Ardennes, and the offensive left it in dire straits.
By 15 January, Seventh Army's [[U.S. VI Corps|VI Corps]] was fighting on three sides in [[Alsace]]. With casualties mounting, and running short on replacements, tanks, ammunition, and supplies, Seventh Army was forced to withdraw to defensive positions on the south bank of the [[Moder (river)|Moder River]] on 21 January. The German offensive drew to a close on 25 January. In the bitter, desperate fighting of Operation Nordwind, VI Corps, which had borne the brunt of the fighting, suffered a total of 14,716 casualties. The total for Seventh Army for January was 11,609.{{sfn|Cirillo|2003|p=53}} Total casualties included at least 9,000 wounded.{{sfn|Clarke|Smith|1993|p=527}} First, Third and Seventh Armies suffered a total of 17,000 hospitalized from the cold.{{sfn|Cirillo|2003|p=53}}{{efn|A footnote to the U.S. Army's official history volume "Riviera to the Rhine" makes the following note on U.S. Seventh Army casualties: ''As elsewhere, casualty figures are only rough estimates, and the figures presented are based on the postwar "Seventh Army Operational Report, Alsace Campaign and Battle Participation, 1 June 1945" (copy CMH), which notes 11,609 Seventh Army battle casualties for the period, plus 2,836 cases of trench foot and 380 cases of frostbite, and estimates about 17,000 Germans killed or wounded with 5,985 processed prisoners of war. But the VI Corps AAR for January 1945 puts its total losses at 14,716 (773 killed, 4,838 wounded, 3,657 missing, and 5,448 nonbattle casualties); and Albert E. Cowdrey and Graham A. Cosmas, "The Medical Department: The War Against Germany," draft CMH MS (1988), pp. 54–55, a forthcoming volume in the United States Army in World War II series, reports Seventh Army hospitals processing about 9,000 wounded and 17,000 "sick and injured" during the period. Many of these, however, may have been returned to their units, and others may have come from American units operating in the Colmar area but still supported by Seventh Army medical services.''}}
=== Allies prevail ===
[[File:Infantry near Bastogne.png|thumb|left|American infantry fire on the enemy near [[Bastogne]], December 1944]]
[[File:p41(map).jpg|thumb|Erasing the Bulge—The Allied counterattack, 26 December – 25 January]]
While the German offensive had ground to a halt, they still controlled a dangerous [[salient]] in the Allied line. Patton's Third Army in the south, centered around Bastogne, would attack north, Montgomery's forces in the north would strike south, and the two forces planned to meet at [[Houffalize]].
The temperature during January 1945 was extremely low. Weapons had to be maintained and truck engines run every half-hour to prevent their oil from [[congealing]]. The offensive went forward regardless.
Eisenhower wanted Montgomery to go on the counter offensive on 1 January, with the aim of meeting up with Patton's advancing Third Army and cutting off most of the attacking Germans, trapping them in a pocket. However, Montgomery, refusing to risk underprepared infantry in a [[snowstorm]] for a strategically unimportant area, did not launch the attack until 3 January, by which time substantial numbers of German troops had already managed to fall back successfully, but at the cost of losing most of their heavy equipment.
At the start of the offensive, the First and Third U.S. Armies were separated by about {{convert|25|mi}}. American progress in the south was also restricted to about a kilometer a day. The majority of the German force executed a successful fighting withdrawal and escaped the battle area, although the fuel situation had become so dire that most of the German armor had to be abandoned. On 7 January 1945, Hitler agreed to withdraw all forces from the Ardennes, including the ''SS Panzer'' divisions, thus ending all offensive operations. However, considerable fighting went on for another 3 weeks; St. Vith was recaptured by the Americans on 23 January and the last German units participating in the offensive did not return to their start line until 25 January.
[[Winston Churchill]], addressing the House of Commons following the Battle of the Bulge said, "This is undoubtedly the greatest American battle of the war and will, I believe, be regarded as an ever-famous American victory."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.army.mil/botb/overview.html |title=Overview – Battle of the Bulge – The United States Army |publisher=Army.mil |date=16 December 1944 |accessdate=16 June 2013 |archive-date=7 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130507014043/http://www.army.mil/botb/overview.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
== Controversy at high command ==
[[File:Bernard Law Montgomery.jpg|thumb|upright|Field Marshal [[Bernard Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein|Montgomery]]]]
[[File:Dwight D. Eisenhower as General of the Army crop.jpg|thumb|upright|General [[Dwight David Eisenhower|Eisenhower]]]]
As the Ardennes battles began, Montgomery commanded the American First and Ninth armies. This was approved by Eisenhower, as the northern armies had lost all communications with [[Bradley,]] who was based in [[Luxembourg]].{{sfn|Urban|2005|p=194}} The northern side had lost all communications with the US command and with nearby units. Without radio or telephone communication Montgomery managed to improvise a way of communicating orders.
This change of leadership did not become known until a message was released.<ref>Whiting p198</ref>
Montgomery asked Churchill if he could explain the situation. On the same day as Hitler's withdrawal order, 7 January, Montgomery held his press conference.{{sfn|Gallagher|1945}} Montgomery praised the "courage and good fighting quality" of the Americans. He also praised Eisenhower. Then Montgomery described the battle for a half-hour. Coming to the end of his speech he said he had used the whole power of the British Group of Armies. He called the battle "the most interesting, I think possibly one of the most interesting and tricky battles I have ever handled."{{sfn|Bradley|1951|p=58}}{{sfn|Ryan|1995|pp=204–205}} Despite his positive remarks about American soldiers, the Americans thought he took credit for the success of the campaign. They thought he made it sound like he had rescued the Americans.
Patton and Eisenhower both felt he did not describe the share of the fighting played by the British and Americans in the Ardennes. They thought that he did not tell about the part played by Bradley, Patton and other American commanders. Montgomery did not mention of any American general beside Eisenhower. This was seen as insulting. Montgomery saw his error and later wrote: "I think now that I should never have held that press conference." Bradley and Patton both threatened to resign unless Montgomery's command was changed. Eisenhower had decided to fire Montgomery. Eisenhower allowed Montgomery to apologize.
== Aftermath ==
[[File:Mardasson Memorial Bastogne.JPG|thumb|The [[Mardasson Memorial]] in [[Bastogne]], Belgium]]
Casualty estimates from the battle vary widely. The official U.S. account lists 80,987 American casualties, while other estimates range from 70,000 to 108,000. According to the [[United States Department of Defense|U.S. Department of Defense]] the American forces suffered 89,500 casualties including 19,000 killed, 47,500 wounded and 23,000 missing.{{sfn|Miles|2004}} An official report by the [[United States Department of the Army]] lists some 108,347 casualties, including 19,246 killed, 62,489 wounded and 26,612 captured and missing.{{sfn|Dept of the Army|1953|p=92}} The Battle of the Bulge was the most violent battle that U.S. forces experienced in World War II; the 19,000 American dead were unsurpassed by those of any other engagement.<ref name="bloodiest" /> British losses totaled 1,400.
The German High Command's official figure for the campaign was 84,834 casualties, and other estimates range between 60,000 and 100,000.{{sfn|MacDonald|1998|page=618}}
The Allies continued to push on in the battle. In early February, the Allies launched an attack all along the Western front: in the north under Montgomery toward [[Aachen]]; in the center, under [[Courtney Hodges]]; and in the south, under Patton.
The German losses in the battle were serious in several ways. The last of the German reserves were now gone, the [[Luftwaffe]] had been destroyed and the remaining German forces in the West were being pushed back to the defenses of the [[Siegfried Line]].
The initial success of Hitler's Ardennes offensive, launched 16 December 1944, caused Churchill to ask Stalin on 6 January 1945 for Soviet help by launching a Soviet attack. {{sfn|Sandler|2002|p=101}} On Friday, 12 January, the Soviets began the [[Vistula–Oder Offensive]], planned to begin on 20 January.{{sfn|de Senarclens|1988|p=39}}
During World War II, most U.S. black soldiers still served only as [[Truck driver|truck drivers]] and as [[stevedores]]. {{sfn|Blumenson|1972|p=127}} In the midst of the Battle of the Bulge, General Eisenhower was short of replacement troops so he allowed African American soldiers to join the white military units to fight in combat for the first time.{{sfn|Blumenson|1972|p=127}} More than 2,000 black soldiers had volunteered to go to the front.{{sfn|Young|Young|2010|p=534}} This was an important step toward a [[racially integrated]] United States military. A total of 708 African Americans were killed in combat during World War II.<ref>Michael Clodfelter.

The '''Afrotheria''' is a group of [[mammal]]s, (a [[superorder]] or a [[clade]]). It includes the [[golden mole]]s, [[elephant shrew]]s, [[tenrec]]s, [[aardvark]]s, [[hyraxes]], [[elephant]]s and [[manatee]]s.
Biologists made this group based on [[DNA]] [[sequence analysis]].<ref>Stanhope M.J. ''et al'' 1998. Molecular evidence for multiple origins of Insectivora and for a new order of endemic African insectivore mammals. ''Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences'' '''95''' (17): 9967–9972. [http://www.pnas.org/content/95/17/9967]</ref> Afrotheria are one of four major groups in the [[Eutheria]] ([[placental]] mammals). Afrotheria means "African animals", "afro" for [[Africa]] and "theria" for [[animalia|animals]].
More recent [[genomics]] suggests that Afrotheria and [[Xenarthra]] are sister [[taxa]] at the base of the placental mammal [[Adaptive radiation|radiation]].<ref>Prasad A.B; Allard M.W; NISC Comparative Sequencing Program and Green E.D. 2008. Confirming the phylogeny of mammals by use of large comparative sequence data sets. ''Mol Biol Evol'' '''25''': 1795–1808</ref>

The words "'''good'''" and "'''bad'''" are a basic way of talking about [[value]] or [[ethics]].<ref name=Schroeder2016>{{cite encyclopedia|last=Schroeder|first=Mark|title=Value Theory|encyclopedia=The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy|date=5 February 2008 |edition=Fall 2016|editor-last=Zalta|editor-first=Edward N.|url=https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/fall2016/entries/value-theory/ }}</ref> They are often used in different ways to talk about things, [[people]], [[idea]]s, or actions as being either good or bad. Many questions about the [[concept]]s of "good" and "bad" are studied by [[philosophers]].<ref name=Schroeder2016/> There are many different beliefs about what is good or bad, or about what the two words really mean. These differences can often be seen in different [[culture]]s and [[religion]]s.
== Good ''for something'' and good ''in itself'' ==
In [[philosophy]], goodness is generally understood in two main kinds: either a thing is good {{em|for something}} or it is good {{em|in itself}}.<ref name=Schroeder2016/><ref name=ZimmermanBradley2019>{{cite encyclopedia|last1=Zimmerman|first1=Michael J.|last2=Bradley|first2=Ben|title=Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Value|encyclopedia=The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy|date=22 October 2002 |edition=Spring 2019|editor-last=Zalta|editor-first=Edward N.|url=https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/spr2019/entries/value-intrinsic-extrinsic/ }}</ref> For example, eating properly may be good {{em|for staying healthy}} (provable) but eating properly may not be a good {{em|in itself}} (unprovable). This also applies to things that are called bad. The belief that there are such things as good {{em|in itself}} and bad {{em|in itself}} has been a main part of [[Western philosophy]] since [[Plato]].<ref name=ZimmermanBradley2019/><ref name=Dienstag2001>{{cite journal|last=Dienstag|first=Joshua F.|title=Nietzsche's Dionysian Pessimism|url=https://archive.org/details/sim_american-political-science-review_2001-12_95_4/page/923|journal=American Political Science Review|volume=95|issue=4|year=2001|pages=923–937|doi=|jstor=3117722}}</ref> However, some philosophers have rejected this belief.<ref name=ZimmermanBradley2019/>
A relative good is something that is good because people say it is good. An absolute good is something that is good because of something in itself. It is good even if there is no one around to see it. For example, an [[economist]] may say that the [[Mona Lisa]] is a very valuable economic good because it can be sold for a lot of [[money]]. A [[Philosophy|philosopher]] may say that the painting is good because of how it is painted. The economist sees relative good, because people may later not want to pay for it. The philosopher sees absolute good, because it will always be painted well.{{cn}}
== Good and evil ==
Good and [[evil]] are [[Antonym|opposites]].
And [[people]] have [[opinion]]s on what things are good and what things are evil. For example, a [[Street art|street artist]] might think it is good to draw a graffiti on a public building wall, but the owner of this building might consider it evil.
Therefore,the concept of good and bad in general is flexible.

[[File:Newgrange Entrance.jpg|thumb|Newgrange entrance.]]
'''Newgrange''' is a [[Megalithic]] [[Passage Tomb]] at Newgrange, [[County Meath]], [[Republic of Ireland]].<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.knowth.com/newgrange.htm|title = Knowth|first =|last =|website = Newgrange Neolithic Passage Tomb|publisher =|accessdate = 2016-06-29}}</ref> It was built about 3200 BC. The [[circular]] mound covers an area of over one [[acre]], 83 metres in diameter and 13 metres in height, and is surrounded by 97 kerbstones, some of which are decorated with megalithic [[art]]. The 19 metre long inner passage leads to a [[cruciform]] chamber with a corbelled roof. It is estimated that the construction of the Passage Tomb at Newgrange would have taken a work force of 300 at least 20 years.{{fact|date=April 2009}}
The passage and chamber of Newgrange are lit up by the winter solstice sunrise. A shaft of sunlight shines through the roof box over the entrance and penetrates the passage to light up the chamber. The dramatic event lasts for 17 minutes at dawn on the Winter Solstice and for a few mornings either side of the Winter Solstice.
Admission to the Newgrange chamber for the Winter Solstice sunrise is by lottery, application forms are available at the Brú na Bóinne Visitor Centre. For the 2007 draw 28,106 applications were submitted. In [[September]] each year, 50 names are drawn with 2 places are awarded to each name drawn.
==Megalithic mounds==
Megalithic mounds such as Newgrange entered [[Irish mythology]] as sídhe or fairy mounds. Newgrange was said to be the home of [[Oenghus]], the god of love. The Passage Tomb at Newgrange was re-discovered in 1699 by the removal of material for road building. A major [[excavation]] of Newgrange began in 1962; the original [[facade]] of sparkling white [[quartz]] was rebuilt using stone found at the site.
==World heritage site==
Newgrange has been designated a [[World Heritage Site]] by [[UNESCO]] and attracts 200,000 visitors per year.{{fact|date=April 2009}} There is no direct access to the Passage Tomb at Newgrange, access is by guided tour from the Brú na Bóinne Visitor Centre located close to the village of Donore, Co. Meath. The last tour of Newgrange is 90 minutes before closing time of the Visitor Centre.
==Newgrange chamber==
Images from inside the chamber at Newgrange including the tri-spiral design on orthostat C10 which is probably the most famous Irish Megalithic symbol. It is often referred to as a [[Celt]]ic design, but it was carved at least 2500 years before the Celts reached Ireland. At 12 inches in diameter the tri-spiral design is quite small in size, less than one-third the size of the tri-spiral design on the entrance stone.

'''''Happy Feet''''' is a 2006 American-Australian [[Computer animation|computer-animated]] [[musical movie]]. It was made in Australia. The movie was [[movie director|directed]] and [[screenwriter|co-written]] by [[George Miller (director)|George Miller]]. It was released in [[North America]] in November 2006. While it is mostly animated, some scenes do include [[live-action]]. ''Happy Feet'' won the [[Academy Award]] for Best Animated Feature but did not win the [[Annie Award]] for Best Animated Feature. There is [[Happy Feet Two|a sequel]] to ''Happy Feet'' released in 2011.
''Happy Feet'' was dedicated to the following people: [[Nick Enright]], [[Michael Jonson]], [[Robby McNeilly Green]], and [[Steve Irwin]].
== Plot ==
''Happy Feet'' is set in an [[Emperor Penguin]] colony, where each penguin must sing a [[song]] called a "Heartsong" to find a mate. Two penguins, Norma Jean and Memphis, are attracted to each other by their songs, and they start a family. While Norma Jean is fishing in the ocean, Memphis is left with the [[egg (biology)|egg]], and he accidentally drops it on the ice, exposing it to the cold temperatures of the [[Antarctica|Antarctic]]. The young penguin chick who hatches out of this egg has a terrible singing voice and later discovers he has no "Heartsong." However, he does have a talent for [[tap dancing]].
While Mumble's mother, Norma Jean, thinks this little habit is cute, his father, Memphis, says it "just ain't penguin." Besides, they both know that, without a "Heartsong", Mumble may never find true love. As fate would have it, his one friend, Gloria, happens to be the best singer around. Mumble and Gloria have a connection from the moment they hatch, but she struggles with his strange "hippity-hoppity" ways. Mumble is just too different; especially for Noah the Elder, the stern leader of the colony, who ultimately casts him out of the community.
Away from home for the first time, Mumble meets a group of different penguins—the Adelie Amigos. Led by Ramón, the [[Adelie Penguin|Adelies]] instantly accept Mumble's tap-dancing skills and invite him to party with them. In the home of the Adelies, Mumble seeks the counsel of Lovelace the Guru, a [[Rockhopper penguin]] who claims he will answer any of life's questions for the price of a [[pebble]]. In their conversation, Lovelace mentions "aliens," which interest Mumble as he finds a frozen [[vehicle]] in a [[glacier]]. He decides to find the "aliens."
Returning home, Mumble and his friends find Gloria in the center of attention as her "Heartsong" is very attractive to the other penguins. However, she is not interested in the other males' "Heartsongs", but is excited when Mumble persuades her to sing in time with his tap-dance [[rhythm]]. The other penguins become interested and begin dancing. However, Noah the Elder feels that the recent lack of [[fish]], the penguins' main food, is a punishment sent from their [[deity|god]] in order to punish them for allowing Mumble's dancing. He therefore [[exile]]s Mumble from the colony, but before he leaves, Mumbles tells them that he will find the real cause of the [[famine]].
With Lovelace and the Amigos, Mumble travels many [[mile]]s and through many obstacles, which include an attack by [[killer whale]]s. Finally, they see a lot of [[commercial trawlers]], ships that are fishing in the Antarctic waters, and Mumble follows them. Eventually, he is caught and put on display in a [[marine park]] [[exhibit]]. He attempts to communicate with the "aliens" ([[human]]s) who are surrounding him, but fails. After nearing going mad with the [[confinement]], a small child taps on the glass of his enclosure. Mumble is excited and begins tap-dancing. After a large crowd gathers to watch him, he is released back to the wild with a [[tracking device]] and leads the humans back to his colony.
Later on, a research team arrives to study the penguins, and the humans discover they are [[overfishing]] the ocean, which had resulted in the lack of fish. Fishing the Antarctic is banned, and the fish population returns and thrives. In the end, the Emperors and Amigos are shown dancing and celebrating.

'''''Happy Feet''''' is a 2006 American-Australian [[Computer animation|computer-animated]] [[musical movie]]. It was made in Australia. The movie was [[movie director|directed]] and [[screenwriter|co-written]] by [[George Miller (director)|George Miller]]. It was released in [[North America]] in November 2006. While it is mostly animated, some scenes do include [[live-action]]. ''Happy Feet'' won the [[Academy Award]] for Best Animated Feature but did not win the [[Annie Award]] for Best Animated Feature. There is [[Happy Feet Two|a sequel]] to ''Happy Feet'' released in 2011.
''Happy Feet'' was dedicated to the following people: [[Nick Enright]], [[Michael Jonson]], [[Robby McNeilly Green]], and [[Steve Irwin]].
== Plot ==
''Happy Feet'' is set in an [[Emperor Penguin]] colony, where each penguin must sing a [[song]] called a "Heartsong" to find a mate. Two penguins, Norma Jean and Memphis, are attracted to each other by their songs, and they start a family. While Norma Jean is fishing in the ocean, Memphis is left with the [[egg (biology)|egg]], and he accidentally drops it on the ice, exposing it to the cold temperatures of the [[Antarctica|Antarctic]]. The young penguin chick who hatches out of this egg has a terrible singing voice and later discovers he has no "Heartsong." However, he does have a talent for [[tap dancing]].
While Mumble's mother, Norma Jean, thinks this little habit is cute, his father, Memphis, says it "just ain't penguin." Besides, they both know that, without a "Heartsong", Mumble may never find true love. As fate would have it, his one friend, Gloria, happens to be the best singer around. Mumble and Gloria have a connection from the moment they hatch, but she struggles with his strange "hippity-hoppity" ways. Mumble is just too different; especially for Noah the Elder, the stern leader of the colony, who ultimately casts him out of the community.
Away from home for the first time, Mumble meets a group of different penguins—the Adelie Amigos. Led by Ramón, the [[Adelie Penguin|Adelies]] instantly accept Mumble's tap-dancing skills and invite him to party with them. In the home of the Adelies, Mumble seeks the counsel of Lovelace the Guru, a [[Rockhopper penguin]] who claims he will answer any of life's questions for the price of a [[pebble]]. In their conversation, Lovelace mentions "aliens," which interest Mumble as he finds a frozen [[vehicle]] in a [[glacier]]. He decides to find the "aliens."
Returning home, Mumble and his friends find Gloria in the center of attention as her "Heartsong" is very attractive to the other penguins. However, she is not interested in the other males' "Heartsongs", but is excited when Mumble persuades her to sing in time with his tap-dance [[rhythm]]. The other penguins become interested and begin dancing. However, Noah the Elder feels that the recent lack of [[fish]], the penguins' main food, is a punishment sent from their [[deity|god]] in order to punish them for allowing Mumble's dancing. He therefore [[exile]]s Mumble from the colony, but before he leaves, Mumbles tells them that he will find the real cause of the [[famine]].
With Lovelace and the Amigos, Mumble travels many [[mile]]s and through many obstacles, which include an attack by [[killer whale]]s. Finally, they see a lot of [[commercial trawlers]], ships that are fishing in the Antarctic waters, and Mumble follows them. Eventually, he is caught and put on display in a [[marine park]] [[exhibit]]. He attempts to communicate with the "aliens" ([[human]]s) who are surrounding him, but fails. After nearing going mad with the [[confinement]], a small child taps on the glass of his enclosure. Mumble is excited and begins tap-dancing. After a large crowd gathers to watch him, he is released back to the wild with a [[tracking device]] and leads the humans back to his colony.
Later on, a research team arrives to study the penguins, and the humans discover they are [[overfishing]] the ocean, which had resulted in the lack of fish. Fishing the Antarctic is banned, and the fish population returns and thrives. In the end, the Emperors and Amigos are shown dancing and celebrating.

The party started from [[Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan|Jamaat-e-Islami]], made by Abul A'la Maududi in 1941. Before, [[Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan]] did not want [[Bangladesh]] to be free from [[Pakistan]].
When Bangladesh became free in 1971, the new government stopped Jamaat-e-Islami and all religion-based parties. After [[Sheikh Mujibur Rahman]] was killed in 1975, the ban was removed. In 1979, [[Ziaur Rahman|Ziaur Rahman’s]] government allowed Jamaat-e-Islami to do politics again.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2024-08-01|title=Why Jamaat-e-Islami banned?|url=https://en.prothomalo.com/bangladesh/kpukorucpi|access-date=2025-02-21|website=[[Prothom Alo]]|language=en}}</ref>
In the 1980s, Jamaat joined a group of parties to bring back democracy against [[Hussain Muhammad Ershad]]. Later, it worked with the [[Bangladesh Nationalist Party]] (BNP), and its leaders became ministers in BNP governments (1991-1996 and 2001-2006). Awami League also worked with Jamaat in 1996 to get power.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2014-01-05|title=Then with AL, now with BNP|url=https://www.thedailystar.net/then-with-al-now-with-bnp-5490|access-date=2025-02-21|website=[[The Daily Star (Bangladesh)]]|language=en}}</ref>
In 2008, Jamaat won two out of 300 seats in Parliament. In 2010, the [[Awami League]] government started trials for war crimes from the 1971 war. By 2012, two BNP leaders, one Jatiya Party leader, and eight Jamaat leaders were accused of war crimes. By March 2013, three Jamaat leaders were found guilty.
On 1 August 2013, the [[Supreme court|Supreme Court]] of [[Bangladesh]] said Jamaat-e-Islami cannot join elections. On 1 August 2024, [[Sheikh Hasina|Sheikh Hasina’s]] government fully banned the party.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2024-08-01|title=Jamaat condemns ban on its activities, says govt wants to ‘divert attention from student movement’|url=https://www.tbsnews.net/bangladesh/politics/jamaat-condemns-ban-its-activities-says-govt-wants-divert-attention-student|access-date=2025-02-21|website=The Business Standard|language=en}}</ref> But on 28 August 2024, after Sheikh Hasina’s government fell, the new government removed the ban.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2024-08-28|title=Govt issues gazette lifting ban on Jamaat, Shibir|url=https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/politics/news/govt-issues-gazette-lifting-ban-jamaat-shibir-3688551|access-date=2025-02-21|website=[[The Daily Star (Bangladesh)]]|language=en}}</ref>
==History==
=== Hindustan Period (1941 - 1947) ===
'':See [[Jamaat-e-Islami Hind]]''
=== Pakistan Period (1948 - 1971) ===
'': See: [[Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan]]''
In 1947 [[Bangladesh#History|East Bengal]] became part of Pakistan ([[Bangladesh#History|East Pakistan]]) - and the Jamaat-e-Islami was divided into separate Indian and Pakistani parties. The Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh originates from the East Pakistani party. The Jamaat were against [[Bangladesh]] becoming independent from Pakistan as they thought it was against Islam. However the Jamaat were unable to stop Bangladesh becoming independent of Pakistan.
=== Bangladesh Period (1978 - present) ===
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami was banned after independence of Bangladesh. Jamaat was banned in Bangladesh due to its opposite stand against independent Bangladesh during independence war. Jamaat wished to see united Pakistan. After independence of Bangladesh, the top leaders of Jamaat moved to [[West Pakistan]] where Jamaat-e-Islami was born. [[Sheikh Mujibur Rahman]], the first president of Bangladesh, also cancelled the citizenship of [[Golam Azam]], the leader of Jamaat. Azam then moved to London, and some other leaders moved to the [[Middle East]]. However [[Sheikh Mujibur Rahman]] was assassinated in 1975 and army chief [[Ziaur Rahman]] seized power. Rahman allowed the Jamaat to be a political party again. Rahman also allowed Azam to return to Bangladesh as the leader of Jamaat.

== Protecting White Supremacy? ==
Hello, we have the page [[white supremacy]]. I would like to suggest we fully protect the page, for 1-2 years, after which the protection is re-evaluated. My reasoning behind this is the following:
*I edit-protected the page today (for six months), after finding that most of the edits ot the page are vandalism, or reverting vandalism- there is little "content work"
*In 2023,2025, and now 2026, there was at least one long term protection of the page
*The talk page remains open, and unnmed/unconfirmed editors can still suggest changes.
The page gets an average of 427 views per month (or a bit over 10 per day). What do other people think? [[User:Eptalon|Eptalon]] ([[User talk:Eptalon|talk]]) 14:51, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
:What I mean is: people wanting to edit need to be auto confirmed [[User:Eptalon|Eptalon]] ([[User talk:Eptalon|talk]]) 15:57, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
:I support long term semi-protection for this page. I think you are correct that it is difficult for us to keep up with the level of vandalism we are seeing. The vandalism is mostly from temp and new accounts, so semi-protection is a proportional response. I'd say let's protect it for 12 or 18 months and then let it open and see if the vandalism starts again. [[User:Garsh2|Garsh ]] ([[User talk:Garsh2|talk]]) 16:51, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
:We should probably start being more lenient about semi-protecting pages. While it's certainly a good idea, that in general everyone should be able to edit a project, times have changed a lot in the past 20 years. Nowadays, there is much more vandalism. Other projects, such as enwiki, have introduced the extended confirmed protection for large parts of the project. I think we should start using the semi-protection more frequently and for longer on problematic topics. We are too few people to really keep track of all types of vandalism, especially clever vandalism, where incorrect data is inserted into our articles and often goes unnoticed. I think we could make things easier by protecting pages more often and for longer. -[[User:Barras|<span style="color:blue; font-family:Bookman Old Style">'''Barras'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Barras|<span style="color:red; font-family:Bookman Old Style">'''talk'''</span>]] 21:15, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
::The page is currently semi-protected, for six months. I was tempted to use a longer protection, but wanted to get community input. I can think of a few other pages where we likely have similar problems [[User:Eptalon|Eptalon]] ([[User talk:Eptalon|talk]]) 21:49, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
:::If nobody objects, go ahead and do what you feel is best. [[White Americans]] has been one of many targets of the same vandal(s) as [[White supremacy]]. [[User:Garsh2|Garsh ]] ([[User talk:Garsh2|talk]]) 00:18, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
::Maybe we consider more leniency with protecting sensitive topics. These could be political figures, race, current events, etc. A lot of vandalism seems to concentrate in these areas. A unfortunate part of it doesn’t get caught or takes some time before it does. [[User:Garsh2|Garsh ]] ([[User talk:Garsh2|talk]]) 00:16, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
::I think our current protection policy is fine to allow that. We can currently only use protection if it is the {{tq|only option left available to solve the problem of vandalism of the page}}, but if lots of sneaky vandalism is going undetected on multiple occasions, it surely ''is'' the only option left to solve the vandalism. I don't want us to start encouraging protection again as I and other admins have been undoing long protections (see [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=protect&user=&page=&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype=unprotect&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist&excludetempacct=1]) and good results have came of it pretty much every time. I should also mention the "honeypot" effect - if a page is closely watched, then vandalism on it will not last very long (and it is very unlikely a reader will come across it in that state) so in a case like that, protection just isn't necessary and pushes them onto parts of the wiki less watched so is actually counterintuitive. --[[User:Ferien|Ferien]] <small>([[User talk:Ferien|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[User:Ferien/TBA|join TBA!]])</small> 13:35, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
:::I definitely see this side of things too. There is a line between protecting the integrity of the project and overprotecting such that it violates the nature of our mission, and the latter seems to have been done in the past. I will say, it is very frustrating sometimes for those of us who look through recent changes to see the same vandalism repeated by the same LTAs for months. It seems to me that some vandals are only interested in vandalizing certain pages, and it's not a guarantee that they will move along to others. I do agree that permanent protection, especially full protection, shouldn't really be done on content pages. Also, create protection should only be applied to problematic titles that could never really have a legitimate article created (repeated recreations of RfD deletions, hoaxes, etc). I am still in support of medium term protection though as Eptalon is suggesting, especially when shorter terms have not been shown to work. [[User:Garsh2|Garsh ]] ([[User talk:Garsh2|talk]]) 05:42, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
:i think it should be indefinitely semi. '''''[[User:Fr33kman|<span style="color: darkgreen">fr33k</span>]][[User talk:Fr33kman|<span style="color: navy">man</span>]]''''' 12:30, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
::Thank you all for the inputs; following this discussion, I have changed the protection to expire a year from now. After the year, we can assess how well this has worked. I would laso suggest, that if people noriuce other pages with a similar editing history, that they start a discussion on ST.

:A example on how to properly attribute your en wiki translation to a simple english article's talk page is [[Talk:Billy Zane]]. Use the attribution template, link the en wiki article and the version number (which can be found on the URL of the latest page revision on the article's history on enwiki).

::Hello, I would say, an example workfolow could be:
::*Create the article here, andcopy over the lede from enwp; If you don't use the translation tool, add some mention on the talk page, to say that tis article is based on the EnWP version
::*Without much delay, go over the section, and simplify; for example split sentences into shorter ones; If you have references that occur multpile time, re-use them
::*Look that the eork generally follows our style guide
::*If it isn't already there, add an interwii link to enwp.
::*Fix categories, see if you find a good image to illustrate
::Once this has been done, you can do that with the next section, if you like. Also note: More controversial subjects need more thought, to give a balanced view. [[User:Eptalon|Eptalon]] ([[User talk:Eptalon|talk]]) 12:29, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

== Decades BC ==
I recently noticed that in categories of BC decades that are a multiple of 100, (ex., [[:Category:300s BC]], [[:Category:200s BC]], [[:Category:100s BC]], [[:Category:400s BC]], etc. the link at the top of the page, "This [[help:categories|category]] is for topics specifically related to the [[300s BC|300s]]." Links to the wrong page, linking to the AD version instead of the BC version. This also happens in English Wikipedia, strangely enough. The issue is caused by the template for the page. Does anyone know the cause of this issue? <span style="border-radius:7em;padding:1.5px;background-color:#e3e3e3;">[[User:MrMeAndMrMe|<span style="color:#000000;">'''MrMeAndMrMe'''</span>]]</span><sub>[[User talk:MrMeAndMrMe|<span style="color:darkblue;">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sub> 18:51, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
:There are others who are far better at templates than I am, but from what I can see, it has to do with [[Template:Decade link]] (also used by enwiki) which is used by [[Template:Year category header/core]]. Basically, the header template uses [[Module:Year category type]] to detect which kind of category it is based on the title. The core subtemplate pulls this value and then modifies what the template header says. It uses the decade link template because the 100 multiple decades need to be disambiguated to distinguish from their respective century pages. That template makes no account for AB vs BC. The header/core does distinguish between the two, but only to add "BC" in the text of the header, not in the wikilink. I suppose one solution could be to fork a second template that would work for the BC categories and then use it in the decade_bc part of [[Template:Year category header/core]]. Some more experienced people should have a look. [[User:Garsh2|Garsh ]] ([[User talk:Garsh2|talk]]) 05:41, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

== Simple English Wikipedia pools? ==
Hello Wikipedia administrators and other Wikipedians! I was wondering if we can add pools to the Simple English Wikipedia, just like how in the English Wikipedia we have [[:en:Wikipedia:Pools|pools]] in which people make guesses about various future milestones for English Wikipedia, i think we may also add that in the Simple English Wikipedia in which well people make guesses about various future milestones for the Simple English Wikipedia (like for example: the people can make a guess on when will the Simple English Wikipedia reaches 300,000 articles). And that's it i guess - [[User:Wikipedian2025|Wikipedian2025]] ([[User talk:Wikipedian2025|talk]]) 14:28, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
:Interesting, Is Pool(s) only meant for guessing future milestones? Also, wouldn’t it be a bit unnecessary here? SEW doesn’t have as many active editors as enwiki, so participation would likely be quite limited. <span style="font-family:serif;">[[User:Erakilos|Erakilos]]</span> 𐤀 14:39, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
::Hello! But anyways, pools would be only meant for guessing future milestones. Just like English Wikipedia's [[:en:Wikipedia:Pools|pools]]. And the reason why we should add pools to SEW is because why not, i feel like this should have pools. And about participation... Well... Since there are less users on SEW than on the English Wikipedia does NOT mean that there is going to be completely no participation in the pools. Like some users on SEW might find these pools and well place their predictions on when will SEW will reach these certain milestones (like when will SEW will reach 300,000 articles) and yeah - [[User:Wikipedian2025|Wikipedian2025]] ([[User talk:Wikipedian2025|talk]]) 14:55, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
:I understand where the idea comes from, but I'm not convinced that this would have much meaningful participation here. We don't have that many editors here, so editor time is more valuable. I don't think this is the best way to spend it. [[User:Garsh2|Garsh ]] ([[User talk:Garsh2|talk]]) 05:12, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
== Article guidance enabled for the experimentation phase ==
Dear Wikipedians,
The Article guidance team is pleased to announce that the [[Special:NewArticle|Article guidance feature]], which supports editors, especially less experienced ones, in creating new articles aligned with community practices through community-tailored guidance, has been enabled on this Wikipedia as part of an A/B test. As part of the launch, we have collected initial feedback over the last few days and [[phab:maniphest/query/HHh7LVAxSJti/#R|resolved several issues]] based on community comments, and are now officially announcing the launch after addressing the primary issues highlighted. This milestone builds on the communications and collaborations with the community (see previous communications links: [[Wikipedia:Simple talk/Archive 173#h-Invitation to try the Article guidance feature in a test environment-20260403023500|1]] [[Wikipedia:Simple talk/Archive 174#h-Invitation to adapt the Article guidance outlines-20260429233800|2]] ). We appreciate everyone who tested the feature, reviewed and adapted outlines, responded to questionnaires, participated in office hours, and shared feedback. Your insights have shaped this feature at every stage.
The feature is primarily aimed at helping junior editors to create good quality articles that follow the community practices (and detect earlier cases where the intended article is not suited for the wiki). Although the focus is on junior editors, the involvement of more experienced editors is also key. In this experimentation phase, the feature is also being surfaced to experienced contributors so they can use it, raise any issues they find, and become familiar with it. Also, more experienced editors can refine the [[Wikipedia:Article Guidance|outlines]] and create additional ones tailored to the type of article outlines they think junior editors will need. Additionally, we want to ensure the feature can also help experienced editors by automating tedious tasks such as [[phab:T421250|Wikidata connections]]. Hearing from experienced editors is really important also to make sure that the new feature doesn't get in their way (and identify early potential issues to fix them). As we get the results of the experiment, we will be able to compare the impact of the feature on both groups to make sure that improvements for one don’t come at the expense of negatively affecting the other group..
Experienced contributors who want to skip creating a new article with the guidance provided in the feature will soon be able to do so once the improvement captured in [[phab:T426382|this ticket]] is implemented. It can be done by clicking on "Edit without community guidance", option at the bottom of the screen, see image below. This option will only be available to experienced contributors once they provide a title for the article in the feature.
[[File:"Edit without community guidance" screenshot.png|thumb|left|A screenshot showing the "Skip assistance. Edit without community guidance" option in the Article guidance feature]]
The experiment is currently running for a subset of editors creating new articles. It will measure whether guided article creation improves the 30-day survival rate of new articles as the key metric among [[phab:T414503|other measurements]]. This group will see the feature automatically as part of their article-creation workflow.
Experienced contributors can continue creating outlines for specific article types as needed for new contributors. As a reference, [[Wikipedia:Article Guidance|over 30 outlines are available]] that can be useful as a starting point to define other outlines. Feel free to create outlines tailored to your Wikipedia’s practices and incorporate the tags and markups as they appear in the reference outlines. You can find a quick guide to markups used in outlines on [[mw:Article_guidance/Test_feature_guide#Markups_in_outlines|this page]].
Since this feature is new, we are implementing [[phab:maniphest/query/TX1YrGEYdFbS/#R|improvements identified by contributors]] and will continue to rely on more feedback to refine it. If you notice something that does not work as expected, please report it and share your feedback on [[mw:Talk:Article_guidance|the project talk page]].
We will continue to share updates as the experiment progresses.

:Basically, you search for the article name in the search box, and if it exists, you are redirected there, if it doesn't, you get a red-link to click on, thats one of the way to create articles.

== Adding more examples to the article Words to avoid in Simple English ==
(Please let me know if I have made any mistakes here. This is my first time posting on talk pages. I am also new to wikipedia). I have added a discussion about this in the talk page for the article [[Wikipedia:Words to avoid in Simple English]]. Currently, there is only one word in this list. I am going to try to add more words to the list. It would be great to have more people help as well. It would also be great to start discussions on the talk page about which words should be on the list. I really love what this wikipedia is trying to do. I want to help people learn how to make changes to articles. [[User:SuddenArtichokes|SuddenArtichokes]] ([[User talk:SuddenArtichokes|talk]]) 09:14, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

'''Dan Kelly''' (1 June 1861 – 28 June 1880) was an [[Australia]]n [[bushranger]] and [[outlaw]]. He was the youngest brother of bushranger [[Ned Kelly]]. Dan and his brother killed three policemen. They formed the Kelly Gang with two friends. Dan Kelly died during the famous [[siege|capture]] of [[Glenrowan, Victoria|Glenrowan]].
More books have been written about the Kelly Gang than any other subject in Australian history. The Kelly Gang were the subject of the world's first full-length feature [[movie]], ''[[The Story of the Kelly Gang]]'', made in 1906. They robbed banks, took over whole towns, and kept the people in [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]] and [[New South Wales]] [[wikt:fright|frightened]]. For two years the Victorian police searched for them and locked up their friends and families, but could not find them.
==Early life==
[[File:Beveridge Kelly1 imp.jpg|thumb|220px|right|The Kelly house at Beveridge]]
Dan Kelly's father was named John "Red" Kelly. John was an [[Irish people|Irish]] [[convict]] who had been sent to [[Van Diemen's Land]] in 1842.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|74}} He would have been kept in the convict [[gaol]] at [[Port Arthur, Tasmania|Port Arthur]].
In 1848, after his time in gaol, Red Kelly moved to Victoria, and began working as a farmer around [[Beveridge, Victoria|Beveridge]]. There he built a simple wooden house.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ironoutlaw.com/html/writings_webb_01.html |title= Kelly Beveridge house|accessdate=2008-08-13 |work= Iron Outlaw }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nedonthenet.com/kelly_house.htm |title=John Kelly house |accessdate=2008-08-13 |work=nedonthenet |archive-date=2008-11-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081121184727/http://www.nedonthenet.com/kelly_house.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> The house in Kelly Street is still standing.<ref name="bh">{{cite web|url=http://www2.visitvictoria.com.au/displayObject.cfm/objectid.00069136-45E9-1E5C-BF8280C476A90000/vvt.vhtml|title=Ned Kelly touring route|work=Bushranger History|publisher=Tourism Victoria|accessdate=2010-02-13|archive-date=2010-02-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100205155934/http://www2.visitvictoria.com.au/displayObject.cfm/objectid.00069136-45E9-1E5C-BF8280C476A90000/vvt.vhtml|url-status=dead}}</ref> The original three rooms were added to over the years, and the house now has 11 rooms.<ref name="jkh">{{cite web|url=http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/vhd/heritagevic#detail_places;149|title=John Kelly's Former House|work=Heritage Places and Objects|publisher=Heritage Council of Victoria|language=|accessdate=2010-02-27}}</ref>
Red married an Irish girl, Ellen Quinn, in [[Melbourne]] in 1850.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|74}} They had seven children: Annie (1853), Edward "Ned" (1854), Maggie (1856), Jim (1859), Dan (1861), [[Kate Kelly|Kate]] (1862) and Grace (1863).<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|75}}<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|9}}
===Greta===
In 1864, Dan Kelly's family moved north to a farm at [[Avenel, Victoria|Avenel]]. Red Kelly [[wikt:stole|stole]] a [[cattle|calf]] and was sent to gaol for six months.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|75}} Dan was in trouble with the police when he was five years old because they believed he had stolen a horse.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|75}} Dan's father died in 1866, and in 1867, his mother, Ellen Kelly, moved the family to a small farm near [[Greta, Victoria|Greta]] in north east Victoria.<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|30}} Ellen Kelly's two sisters, Catherine and Jane Lloyd, were living at Greta, and her two brothers, John and James Quinn, had moved to the area in 1864.<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|30}} The Quinn family were well known to the police. Dan Kelly was in trouble with the law again when he was 10 years old. He and his twelve-year-old brother Jim were [[wikt:arrest|arrested]] by Constable Flood for riding a horse that did not belong to them. Jim was working for a local farmer and had taken the horse to ride home on. Flood did not believe them, and the boys were forced to spend two nights in a prison cell.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|82}}
In 1875, like many other young men in north east Victoria, Dan Kelly and his [[cousin]]s, the Lloyds, went to New South Wales to look for [[season]]al farm work in the [[Riverina]] area and on the [[Monaro (New South Wales)|Monaro High Plains]].<ref name =mcm/>{{rp|59}} His group of friends were known as "the Greta mob".<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|59}} They went out together to hotels, dances and horse races. By 1876, they were well known for their visits to nearby towns such as [[Wangaratta, Victoria|Wangaratta]], [[Beechworth, Victoria|Beechworth]] and [[Benalla, Victoria|Benalla]].<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|59}}
On one visit to Benalla in 1876, Dan was arrested for stealing a [[saddle]]. The police let him go when they could not get enough [[wikt:evidence|evidence]].<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|59}} Dan and his cousins got into trouble with the police in October 1877. They had gone to a shop to pick up food and other supplies, but the shop was shut. When the owner refused to open the shop, Dan Kelly broke down the door.<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|52}} They were charged with violent [[assault]], [[wikt:damage|damage]] to [[property]] (the door), breaking into houses and stealing things worth [[Pound (currency)|£]]113. The boys went into hiding, and the police spent three weeks looking for them. Constable Alexander Fitzpatrick told Ned Kelly to get them to give themselves up.<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|52}} In court, the police were not able to prove most of the charges, but Dan went to prison for one month for damaging property worth £10.<ref name =mcq>{{cite book | last =McQuilton | first =John | authorlink = | title = The Kelly Outbreak, 1878 — 1880| publisher =Melbourne University Press | date =1979 | location =Melbourne, Australia | pages = | url =https://archive.org/details/kellyoutbreak1870000mcqu| doi = | id = | isbn = 0-522-84180-5}}</ref>
On 15 April 1878, Constable Fitzpatrick went to the Kelly's house to arrest Dan Kelly for stealing horses. Dan had been seen in [[Chiltern, Victoria|Chiltern]] riding a stolen horse.<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|52}} What happened at the house is now called the "[[Ned Kelly#The Fitzpatrick Incident|Fitzpatrick incident]]". There was a fight with Fitzpatrick, and he said the Kelly family had tried to kill him. Dan and Ned went into [[the bush]] to hide. Ellen Kelly was sent to gaol for three years for attempted [[murder]]. Maggie's husband, William Skillion, and a [[wikt:neighbour|neighbour]], William Williamson, were sent to gaol for six years.<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|63}}
==The Kelly Gang==
Ned and Dan Kelly went into the bush to a place in the Wombat Ranges. Dan Kelly had built a small hut some time earlier on Bullock Creek, where he had cleared an area of about {{convert|20|acre|ha|0|lk=on|abbr=on}} to keep horses.<ref name="kgcs">{{cite web|url=http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/vhd/heritagevic#detail_places;104595|title=Kelly Gang Camp Site|work=Heritage Places and Objects|publisher=Heritage Council of Victoria|language=|accessdate=2010-02-27}}</ref> He had also built a small [[still]] for making [[alcohol]].<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|89}} The brothers spent their time searching for [[gold]] in the creek.<ref name=kgcs/>
During the months they were [[wikt:hide|hiding]] at Bullock Creek, they were often visited by their friends including [[Steve Hart]], [[Joe Byrne (bushranger)|Joe Byrne]], [[Aaron Sherritt]] and the Lloyds.<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|78}} The police took the charge of attempted murder very seriously. A [[reward]] of £100 was offered for the capture of the two Kelly boys.<ref name="adb"/> The police thought the brothers were hiding in the Wombat Ranges. In October 1878, they sent two search groups out to find them. One group travelled south from Greta, and the other started from [[Mansfield, Victoria|Mansfield]] and travelled north.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|90}}
===Stringybark Creek===
[[Image:Stringybark creek1.JPG|thumb|220px|right|Stringybark Creek]]
The Mansfield group was led by [[Sergeant]] Michael Kennedy, with three [[policeman|policemen]]: [[Constable]]s Thomas McIntyre, Thomas Lonigan, and Michael Scanlan. They set up a camp at [[Stringybark Creek]] in a thick forest area.<ref name="scs">{{cite web|url=http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/vhd/heritagevic#detail_places;13107|title=Stringybark Creek site|work=Heritage Places and Objects|publisher=Heritage Council of Victoria|language=|accessdate=2010-02-27}}</ref> Kennedy and Scanlon went searching for the Kellys, while Lonigan and McIntyre remained at the camp.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|95}} The Kellys were living in a hut close by at Bullock Creek. They heard noises and discovered the police camp. They decided to capture the policemen and take their guns and horses. Ned and Dan, and friends Joe Byrne and Steve Hart, went to the police camp and told them to [[wikt:surrender|surrender]].<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|96}}
Constable McIntyre put his arms up, but Lonigan got out his gun. Ned Kelly shot him dead.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|96}} When the other two police came back to camp, McIntyre told them to surrender. Scanlon went for his gun but Ned shot him dead.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|97}} Kennedy ran shooting from tree to tree with Ned chasing him. During the shooting, Kennedy was shot and was badly wounded. Ned shot him in the chest to end his suffering.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|97}} McIntyre was able to escape during the [[wikt:confusion|confusion]]. It was later reported in the newspapers that it was Dan who had shot Kennedy.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|98}} Dan was wounded during the shooting.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|100}}
===Outlaws===
The Victorian government passed a law on 30 October 1878, making the Kelly Gang [[outlaw]]s; they no longer had any legal rights. They could be shot by anyone, at any time, without [[wikt:warning|warning]].<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|103}} Anyone who could [[wikt:capture|capture]] one of the Gang, alive or dead, would be paid a [[reward]] of £500, or £2,000 for the four men.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|103}} The bushrangers were seen at several places around north east Victoria. They had tried to cross the [[Murray River]] into New South Wales, but the water was too deep. The police had several large groups hunting for them. On 10 December, the Kelly Gang robbed the bank at [[Euroa, Victoria|Euroa]].<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|110}} In February 1879, they went to [[Jerilderie, New South Wales]]. They locked the town's policemen in the police station cells, and kept many people prisoner in the Royal Mail Hotel for three days. Dan Kelly and Steve Hart kept the people in the hotel, while Ned Kelly and Joe Byrne robbed the bank.<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|121}} After the bank robberies, the reward was increased to £2,000 for each man, or the larger amount of £8,000 for the Gang.<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|128}}
Over the next 18 months many policemen were sent to north-east Victoria to search for the Kelly Gang.<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|140}} The police could not find the bushrangers because they were badly led and they did not know how to live in the bush. However the Kellys were experts in living in the bush and they had the support of the local people.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|151}}
===Murder===
In June 1880, the Kelly Gang came out of hiding. They knew that Joe Byrne's friend, Aaron Sherritt, had been giving [[wikt:information|information]] to the police. Four policemen were living at Sherritt's house, near Beechworth, to protect him. Dan Kelly and Byrne went to Sherritt's house late at night and knocked on the door. When Sherritt opened the door, Byrne shot him dead.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|155}} The policemen were hiding under the bed. Kelly and Byrne rode quickly back to Glenrowan where Ned Kelly and Hart had forced many of the town people into a hotel, the Glenrowan Inn.<ref name=ghp/> They also had forced railway workers to pull up the train tracks. They knew that more police would be sent by train to Beechworth to find them. They wanted the train to crash when it reached the place where tracks had been removed near Glenrowan.<ref name="ghp">{{cite web|url=http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/vhd/heritagevic#detail_places;4073|title=Glenrowan Heritage Precinct|work=Heritage Places and Objects|publisher=Heritage Council of Victoria|language=|accessdate=2010-02-27}}</ref> The bushrangers, wearing homemade [[armour]], would then capture any of the policemen that were alive after the crash.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|153}} With the police out of the way, the Kelly Gang would then go into Benalla and rob the bank.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|153}} The captured police would be [[wikt:release|released]] when Ellen Kelly, William Williamson, and William Skillion, were let out of gaol.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|153}}
The plan did not work because the four policemen did not come out of Sherritt's house until the next morning.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|156}} This meant that the news of the murder did not reach Melbourne as quickly as the Kelly Gang had hoped. The people held prisoner in the hotel became restless. Ned organised music and Dan joined in dancing to keep the people in the hotel entertained.<ref>{{cite book | last =Sheppard | first = Barrie| authorlink = | title =Ned Kelly | publisher = Heinemann Library| date =2000 | location = Melbourne, Victoria| page =23 | url = | doi = | id = | isbn =1-86391-971-6 }}</ref> Dan also organised some sporting games including [[long jump]] and [[triple jump|hop, step and jump]].<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|160}} Dan wanted to leave Glenrowan when they knew the plan was not going to work because the train was late.<ref name="dk">{{cite web|url=http://www.ironoutlaw.com/html/gang.html|title=Dan Kelly|work=The Kelly Gang|publisher=Iron Outlaw|language=|accessdate=2010-02-28|archive-date=2011-07-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110709163817/http://www.ironoutlaw.com/html/gang.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> Ned Kelly let [[Thomas Curnow]], the school teacher, go home to his wife. Dan told his brother not to [[wikt:trust|trust]] Curnow, and to keep him at the hotel.<ref name=dk/> Instead of going home, Curnow went to the railway and about 3.00am he was able to stop the train before it reached the broken rails.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|158}} The police quickly left the train and placed themselves around the hotel so that the Kelly Gang was trapped inside.<ref name=ghp/>
===Glenrowan===
[[File:Glenrowan inn.JPG|thumb|220px|right|Site of the Glenrowan Inn]]
[[Image:Benalla cemetery Cherry.JPG|thumb|220px|right|Grave of Martin Cherry, killed during the siege at Glenrowan.]]
When the bushrangers heard the train pull into the station, they knew their plan to destroy the train had failed. They put on their suits of armour and went on to the [[verandah]] of the hotel to wait for the police.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|159}} In the first few shots, police Superintendent Hare, Ned Kelly and Joe Byrne were wounded, and Jack Jones, son of the hotel owner was killed. Ned Kelly, who was dressed in his armour, was able to leave the hotel and kept shooting at the police. The police fired their guns into the hotel building for seven hours. It is [[wikt:estimate|estimated]] that 15,000 [[bullet]]s were fired during the shooting.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/ned-kelly-bullets-found/story-e6frf7kx-1111116251401 |title=Bullets from Ned Kelly's shoot-out at Glenrowan found |first= |last= |work=heraldsun.com.au |date=2008-05-05 |accessdate=2011-04-25 |archive-date=2011-08-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110809100129/http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/ned-kelly-bullets-found/story-e6frf7kx-1111116251401 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Byrne died after being shot in the [[groin]]. Ned Kelly went back to the hotel but could not find Dan or Steve Hart who were hiding in a back room. He again left and tried to find his horse. Ned Kelly was shot in the legs as he searched outside for his brother.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|162}} The police were then easily able to capture him.
At 10.00 am there was a large crowd of people watching the action. Police Inspector Sadleir was forced to stop the shooting to allow many of the hostages to escape. He would not let Dan's sister Maggie, or a [[Catholic]] priest Father Gibney, go into the hotel to tell the men to give themselves up. Instead, he ordered that a [[cannon]] be sent from Melbourne so that they could destroy the hotel.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|162}}
At 2.30pm, the police set fire to the building to try and make the rest of the Kelly Gang leave the building.<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|189}} Father Gibney ignored the police and went into the burning building.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|162}} He found Dan Kelly and Steve Hart dead in a back room of the hotel. He said their bodies were lying side by side, their heads resting on blankets.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|162}} Byrne's body was dragged out of the hotel, but the bodies of Hart and Kelly were badly burned during the fire. People who saw the burned and blackened bodies were unable to tell which was Dan Kelly and which was Steve Hart.<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|30}} They were placed on sheets of bark from a tree and [[photograph]]ed. Three Glenrowan people held prisoner inside the hotel died during the siege.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|159-163}}
Family members, including his sisters, Kate and Maggie, and friends took the bodies back to Greta.<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|195}} The police tried to get the bodies back, and sent a group of 16 policemen to Greta, but they became worried that this would start another fight and they went back to Benalla.<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|208}} Dan Kelly and Steve Hart were buried in unmarked [[grave]]s at Greta, on 30 June 1880.<ref name=mcq/>{{rp|164}} About 100 people were at the [[funeral]], with Dan's cousin, Tom Lloyd, as the [[undertaker]], and a Greta farmer, Daniel O'Keefe, acting as a [[preacher]]. After the graves were filled in, the whole area was [[plough]]ed over to keep the site of the graves hidden.<ref name=mcm/>{{rp|206}} The family was worried that the police would still try to get the bodies.
After Glenrowan, Dan Kelly and Steve Hart's armour was taken by the police and kept at Benalla.<ref name="ae">{{cite news|url=http://www2.slv.vic.gov.au/about/news/focus_on/kelly.html|title=Kelly Armour Exchange, State Library of Victoria|first=|last=|work=State Library of Victoria News|issue=21|year=2003|accessdate=2011-04-26|archive-date=2011-03-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110327132805/http://www2.slv.vic.gov.au/about/news/focus_on/kelly.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> Ned Kelly's armour was sent to Melbourne to be used at his trial.

== Plot ==
Two years after [[Norman Osborn (Sam Raimi movie series)|Norman Osborn]]'s death,{{efn|name=SM1|As depicted in ''[[Spider-Man (2002 movie)|Spider-Man]] (2002)}} [[Peter Parker (Sam Raimi movie series)|Peter Parker]] struggles to balance his personal life with his crime-fighting as Spider-Man. He juggles multiple jobs and faces overdue rent and schoolwork as his [[Aunt May]] is being evicted. ''[[Daily Bugle]]'' editor [[J. Jonah Jameson]] criticizes Spider-Man in the paper, and Peter's best friend, [[Harry Osborn (Sam Raimi series character)|Harry Osborn]], blames Spider-Man for his father's death and resents Peter for not revealing Spider-Man's identity. To protect her from his enemies, Peter has distanced himself from [[Mary Jane Watson (Sam Raimi series character)|Mary Jane Watson]], despite their mutual romantic feelings. Tired of Peter's secrecy, Mary Jane gets engaged to Jameson's son [[John Jameson (comics)|John]].
Now a leader at [[Oscorp]], Harry funds the development of a [[fusion power]] machine created by nuclear scientist [[Otto Octavius (movie character)|Otto Octavius]], who befriends and mentors Peter. During a public demonstration, Octavius uses a harness with four mechanical tentacles controlled by artificial intelligence (AI) to interact with the machine. However, the fusion reaction destabilizes, threatening mass destruction, but Octavius refuses to shut it down. As a result, the harness becomes fused to his body, and the inhibitor chip restricting the tentacles' AI is destroyed. Octavius is taken to a hospital where doctors attempt to surgically remove the harness, but the tentacles violently defend themselves. Octavius flees off to a derelict harbor warehouse, where he plans to rebuild the machine. While robbing a bank to fund his plan, Octavius takes May hostage, but Peter rescues her.
Overwhelmed by stress, exhaustion, and the conflict between wanting an normal life and his responsibilities as Spider-Man, Peter's powers begin to fade. He gives up being Spider-Man and embraces his civilian life, excelling at university and watching Mary Jane perform in an [[off-Broadway]] play. Peter confesses his inadvertent role in Ben's death to May. Though initially shocked, she forgives him. Despite his lost powers, Peter saves a child from a burning building, but another person dies. Believing he could have saved them both as Spider-Man, Peter concludes that his responsibilities as Spider-Man outweigh his personal happiness.
Meanwhile, Octavius completes his new machine and confronts Harry, demanding the rare isotope [[tritium]] to fuel it. Harry agrees in exchange for Octavious delivering him Spider-Man, instructing Octavius to find Peter and use him to exact Spider-Man's location. Realizing that she does not love John, Mary Jane meets with Peter at an café to confess her feelings, but he lies that he doesn't reciprocate. Octavius attacks them and kidnaps Mary Jane in order to coerce Peter into finding Spider-Man. Peter's powers fully return, and as Spider-Man, he fights Octavius atop a [[New York City Subway]] train. Octavius sabotages the train, forcing Peter to use all his strength to stop it from plunging into the [[New York Harbor]]. Despite the passengers' efforts to protect him, Octavius captures the weakened Peter and brings him to Harry.
Harry unmasks Spider-Man, discovering Peter's true identity. Peter persuades Harry to help him save Mary Jane, leading him to Octavius's lair. The larger fusion reaction destabilizes again, and Peter unmasks himself to convince Octavius to resist the tentacles' influence and help him. Octavius, acknowledging his folly, sacrifices himself to drown the machine in the bay. Peter rescues Mary Jane, who now knows his secret, and admits that while he loves her, he cannot be with her. Meanwhile, Harry sees a vision in a mirror of Norman demanding vengeance. Harry refuses to hurt Peter and shatters the mirror, revealing a storeroom of Norman's [[Green Goblin]] equipment.
On her wedding day, Mary Jane abandons the ceremony and runs to Peter's apartment, telling him her choice to be with him despite the risk. Their kiss is interrupted by police sirens, and Mary Jane encourages him to go help as Spider-Man.

== Plot ==
Two years after [[Norman Osborn (Sam Raimi movie series)|Norman Osborn]]'s death,{{efn|name=SM1|As depicted in ''[[Spider-Man (2002 movie)|Spider-Man]] (2002)}} [[Peter Parker (Sam Raimi movie series)|Peter Parker]] struggles to balance his personal life with his crime-fighting as Spider-Man. He juggles multiple jobs and faces overdue rent and schoolwork as his [[Aunt May]] is being evicted. ''[[Daily Bugle]]'' editor [[J. Jonah Jameson]] criticizes Spider-Man in the paper, and Peter's best friend, [[Harry Osborn (Sam Raimi series character)|Harry Osborn]], blames Spider-Man for his father's death and resents Peter for not revealing Spider-Man's identity. To protect her from his enemies, Peter has distanced himself from [[Mary Jane Watson (Sam Raimi series character)|Mary Jane Watson]], despite their mutual romantic feelings. Tired of Peter's secrecy, Mary Jane gets engaged to Jameson's son [[John Jameson (comics)|John]].
Now a leader at [[Oscorp]], Harry funds the development of a [[fusion power]] machine created by nuclear scientist [[Otto Octavius (movie character)|Otto Octavius]], who befriends and mentors Peter. During a public demonstration, Octavius uses a harness with four mechanical tentacles controlled by artificial intelligence (AI) to interact with the machine. However, the fusion reaction destabilizes, threatening mass destruction, but Octavius refuses to shut it down. As a result, the harness becomes fused to his body, and the inhibitor chip restricting the tentacles' AI is destroyed. Octavius is taken to a hospital where doctors attempt to surgically remove the harness, but the tentacles violently defend themselves. Octavius flees off to a derelict harbor warehouse, where he plans to rebuild the machine. While robbing a bank to fund his plan, Octavius takes May hostage, but Peter rescues her.
Overwhelmed by stress, exhaustion, and the conflict between wanting an normal life and his responsibilities as Spider-Man, Peter's powers begin to fade. He gives up being Spider-Man and embraces his civilian life, excelling at university and watching Mary Jane perform in an [[off-Broadway]] play. Peter confesses his inadvertent role in Ben's death to May. Though initially shocked, she forgives him. Despite his lost powers, Peter saves a child from a burning building, but another person dies. Believing he could have saved them both as Spider-Man, Peter concludes that his responsibilities as Spider-Man outweigh his personal happiness.
Meanwhile, Octavius completes his new machine and confronts Harry, demanding the rare isotope [[tritium]] to fuel it. Harry agrees in exchange for Octavious delivering him Spider-Man, instructing Octavius to find Peter and use him to exact Spider-Man's location. Realizing that she does not love John, Mary Jane meets with Peter at an café to confess her feelings, but he lies that he doesn't reciprocate. Octavius attacks them and kidnaps Mary Jane in order to coerce Peter into finding Spider-Man. Peter's powers fully return, and as Spider-Man, he fights Octavius atop a [[New York City Subway]] train. Octavius sabotages the train, forcing Peter to use all his strength to stop it from plunging into the [[New York Harbor]]. Despite the passengers' efforts to protect him, Octavius captures the weakened Peter and brings him to Harry.
Harry unmasks Spider-Man, discovering Peter's true identity. Peter persuades Harry to help him save Mary Jane, leading him to Octavius's lair. The larger fusion reaction destabilizes again, and Peter unmasks himself to convince Octavius to resist the tentacles' influence and help him. Octavius, acknowledging his folly, sacrifices himself to drown the machine in the bay. Peter rescues Mary Jane, who now knows his secret, and admits that while he loves her, he cannot be with her. Meanwhile, Harry sees a vision in a mirror of Norman demanding vengeance. Harry refuses to hurt Peter and shatters the mirror, revealing a storeroom of Norman's [[Green Goblin]] equipment.
On her wedding day, Mary Jane abandons the ceremony and runs to Peter's apartment, telling him her choice to be with him despite the risk. Their kiss is interrupted by police sirens, and Mary Jane encourages him to go help as Spider-Man.

'''''Spider-Man 3''''' is a 2007 American [[superhero movie]] based on the [[Marvel Comics]] character [[Spider-Man]]. Produced by [[Columbia Pictures]], [[Marvel Entertainment]], and [[Laura Ziskin Productions]], and distributed by [[Sony Pictures Releasing]], it was directed by [[Sam Raimi]] from a screenplay he co-wrote with his brother [[Ivan Raimi|Ivan]] and [[Alvin Sargent]]. It is the final movie in Raimi's [[Spider-Man (2002 movie series)|''Spider-Man'' trilogy]] (2002–2007). The movie stars [[Tobey Maguire]] as [[Peter Parker (Sam Raimi movie series)|Peter Parker]], alongside [[Kirsten Dunst]], [[James Franco]], [[Thomas Haden Church]], [[Topher Grace]], [[Bryce Dallas Howard]], [[James Cromwell]], [[Rosemary Harris]], and [[J. K. Simmons]]. Set a year after the events of ''[[Spider-Man 2]]'', the movie's plotline follows Peter as he prepares for his future with his girlfriend [[Mary Jane Watson (Sam Raimi series character)|Mary Jane Watson]], while facing the [[Sandman (Marvel Comics)|Sandman]], [[Venom (character)|Venom]], and his vengeful friend [[Harry Osborn (Sam Raimi series character)|Harry Osborn]].
After the successful release of ''Spider-Man 2'' in 2004, development immediately began on ''Spider-Man 3'', with the aim of a 2007 release. During preproduction, Raimi wanted two villains, Harry and Sandman. At the request of producer [[Avi Arad]], he added Venom to the list, and the producers also requested the addition of [[Gwen Stacy]]. [[Principal photography]] for the film began in January 2006 and took place in Los Angeles and [[Cleveland]] before moving to New York City from May until July 2006. Additional pick-up shots were made after August, and the film wrapped in October 2006. During post-production, [[Sony Pictures Imageworks]] created over 900 [[visual effects]] shots. [[Christopher Young]] was hired to compose the score of ''Spider-Man 3'' after [[Danny Elfman]], who had scored the two previous films, declined to return due to the creative differences and conflicts with Raimi. With an estimated production budget of $258–350 million, ''Spider-Man 3'' was the [[List of most expensive movies|most expensive movie ever made]] at the time of its release.
''Spider-Man 3'' premiered on April 16, 2007, in Tokyo, and was released in the United States in both conventional and [[IMAX]] theaters on May 4. The film grossed $895.9 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film of the trilogy, the [[2007 in movie#Highest-grossing movies|third-highest-grossing movie of 2007]] and the [[List of highest-grossing movies|tenth-highest-grossing movie of all time]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/world/|title=All Time Worldwide Box Office Grosses|website=Box Office Mojo|date=June 30, 2007|access-date=April 9, 2024|archive-date=June 30, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070630074011/http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/world/|url-status=bot: unknown}}</ref> at the time of its release. It was also the [[List of highest-grossing films#Highest-grossing franchises and movie series|highest-grossing Spider-Man movie]] until it was surpassed by ''[[Spider-Man: Far From Home]]'' in 2019. Unlike the previous movie in the trilogy, ''Spider-Man 3'' received mixed reviews from critics. A sequel, ''Spider-Man 4'', was set to be released in 2011, but it was cancelled.
== Plot ==
[[Peter Parker (Sam Raimi movie series)|Peter Parker]] plans to propose to [[Mary Jane Watson (Sam Raimi movie series)|Mary Jane Watson]], who has made her [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] debut. While he is on a date with her in [[Central Park]], an extraterrestrial [[Symbiote (comics)|symbiote]] oozes out of a fallen [[meteorite]] and attaches to his moped. [[Harry Osborn (Sam Raimi movie series)|Harry Osborn]], knowing that Peter is Spider-Man, seeks to avenge the death of his father, [[Norman Osborn (Sam Raimi movie series)|Norman]]. He uses his father's performance-enhancing gas and [[Green Goblin]] technology to battle Peter, but falls off from his glider and develops partial amnesia. Meanwhile, police pursue the escaped convict [[Flint Marko]], who visits his wife and sick daughter before fleeing. He falls into a [[particle accelerator]] which fuses his body with sand, turning him into [[Sandman (Marvel Comics)|Sandman]] and granting him the ability to reform his body at will.
During a ceremony honoring Spider-Man, Peter kisses [[Gwen Stacy]] to please the crowd, which angers Mary Jane. Soon afterwards, Marko robs an armored truck and fights Spider-Man, then flees. Police captain [[George Stacy]], Gwen's father, informs Peter and [[Aunt May]] that Marko is [[Uncle Ben]]'s true killer; [[Burglar (comics)|the initial suspect]] was simply Marko's accomplice. When Peter falls asleep in his Spider-Man suit, the symbiote integrates into the suit. Peter awakens atop a building, discovering that the symbiote has turned his suit black, enhanced his powers, and heightened his aggression.
Peter battles Marko in a subway station. Realizing that water weakens him, Peter opens a pipe, which turns Marko into mud and washes him away. Peter's new arrogant attitude alienates Mary Jane, who kisses Harry before quickly regretting it. A hallucination of his father prompts Harry to recover from amnesia, and he forces Mary Jane to break up with Peter. Harry tells Peter that he's dating Mary Jane, which leads Peter to fight him while under the symbiote's influence. During the fight, Harry's face is disfigured by one of his own [[Pumpkin Bombs|pumpkin bombs]].
At the ''[[Daily Bugle]]'', Peter exposes the misconduct of rival photographer [[Eddie Brock]], whose fake photos falsely incriminate Spider-Man. Outraged, publisher [[J. Jonah Jameson (2002 movie series character)|J. Jonah Jameson]] fires Brock and promotes Peter to staff photographer. Peter brings Gwen to a jazz club where Mary Jane now works, hoping to make her jealous. Offended by Peter's actions, Gwen apologizes to Mary Jane and leaves. Peter assaults the bouncers and accidentally hits Mary Jane, before realizing how deeply the symbiote is corrupting him. He retreats to a church bell tower, where he discovers that the sound of clanging metal weakens the symbiote. Using the sound of the church bell, Peter detaches it from himself. Brock witnesses the event, then becomes the symbiote's new host and turns into [[Venom (character)|Venom]].
Brock and Marko join forces against Spider-Man, kidnapping Mary Jane to get Peter's attention. After Harry declines to help Peter rescue Mary Jane, Harry's butler reveals that Norman's death wasn't Spider-Man's fault. As Brock and Marko move in closer to killing Peter, Harry arrives and helps Peter subdue Marko. Brock attempts to impale Peter with Harry's glider, but Harry jumps in the way and is impaled instead. Remembering the symbiote's weakness, Peter uses metal pipes to create a sonic attack, which allows him to detach the symbiote from Brock. Peter throws a pumpkin bomb at the hostless symbiote, but not before Brock, now addicted to its influence, rushes towards the symbiote, which causes him to be destroyed along with it.
Marko explains to Peter that Ben's death was an accident and that everything Marko has done was to help his daughter. Peter forgives Marko and allows him to escape. Harry reconciles with Peter before he dies from his injuries. After Harry's funeral, Peter visits Mary Jane at the jazz club, where they share a dance.

Chinese herbology is the study or practise of using herbs, some being Chinese, or used in [[China]] traditionally. However, Chinese herbs are not limited to growing in China. In the right [[climate]] and [[soil]] types, many of the herbs used can be grown overseas. People all over the world use Chinese herbs for their features. The features (or effects) can be helpful and are trusted by Chinese herbalists to help people, but can also not be helpful in some cases, and to lower the negative effects or risk the herb the herb is well studied. Other things that might be done are using the correct dose, and not mixing herbs together which do not interact well.
Plants used in Chinese herbology have been used and studied for thousands of years. Traditionally, Chinese people took herbs for their effects on the [[human body]], the [[Organ (biology)|organs]] in the body or mental (mind) and the energy (Qi).
An example of a herb that is grown overseas is [[American Ginseng|American ginseng]]. It is grown in the [[State of Wisconsin]] in the [[United States of America]]. The name for extract of American Ginseng is shenyuan.<ref>{{Cite web|title=MeSH Browser|url=https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=C000588932|access-date=2026-04-26|website=meshb.nlm.nih.gov}}</ref> Other ginseng include Korean Ginseng, Red Korean Ginseng, which the [[Korean people|Koreans]] sometimes call Ninjin.<ref>{{Cite web|title=MeSH Browser|url=https://meshb-prev.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D005894|access-date=2026-04-26|website=meshb-prev.nlm.nih.gov}}</ref> [[Chinese people]] call ginseng jîn-sim (人蔘) or rénshēn in [[Mandarin Chinese|Mandarin]].
The raw herbs available in [[retail]] have natural or [[Organic food|organic]] features. Some might look like:
* Part of a plant (root, leave, seed, flowers, branch for example)
* Unprocessed except being cut, sliced, and cleansed of dirt
* Dried (because the dried form weighs less and can be stored longer)
Some herbs can be eaten after boiling because they turn soft. Most herbs cannot be eaten however, for they remain very coarse after boiling. Herbs in general do not taste good. Most taste bitter and earthly. Some taste neutral. A few taste even sweet.
Herbs may be inexpensive except for a few like Ren Shen 人參, Chuan Bei Mu 川貝母, or Dong Chong Xia Cao 冬虫夏草.
Chinese herbs can be taken as tablets, which contain powder of herbs or extract(s) powder. The essence of Chinese herbs includes Jing (精), and alongside [[Qi]] and [[Shen]] is one of the three treasures.
== Herbal tea ==
People take Chinese herbs by eating them or drinking them in [[tea]]. Raw herbs are usually taken orally by extracting the essence and chemicals (like oils, tannins and [[Flavinoids|flavonoids]]) out of them. The natural way being practiced since ancient time is to boil and brew the herbal package in water to get a dark brown solution called herb tea that never tastes good. Honey or sugar may be added to make it taste less bad. The herbal package can be conveniently modified by changing some ingredients to make it work to the individuals [[taste]].
People often like that a herbal tea made from Chinese herbs is tailor made (specially for them), and the interaction.
== Tablet form ==
Raw herbs can be dried and grounded into a powder then compressed into a tablet.
== Capsule form ==
Raw herbs can be made into capsules at home. By turning it into fine powder with a powerful grinder, and put the powder into empty gel capsules. The [[Human digestive system|digestive system]] has to extract the essence out of the raw herb powder. Drinking herb tea is different, because the essence extraction is already done after brewing. The herbal solution will readily be absorbed by the body. Furthermore, the herb tea has a history spanning over two thousand years compared to other methods.
== Healing properties ==
Chinese herbs are said to have many useful properties:
* Some are used for healing
** Some herbs are supposed to have natural healing effects on organs, blood, and various unhealthy conditions
* In contrast to Western pharmaceuticals, which are mainly designed to fix or suppress certain health conditions, herbs have additional enhancing and strengthening values on the body
* Due to their strengthening and enhancing values, herbs can also be used for preventive measures
* The herbal effects are natural and mild, with little adverse side effects
* Each herb has multiple effects on the body, in addition to one major effect
* Herbs do not work singly because the effects of one herb are too gentle
* The effects of herbs rely on synergies because of their overlapping multiple effects. Therefore, an herbal package of different herbs put together can deliver a much greater effect than a single herb of equal weight
* How to create synergy for an herbal package is an essential [[knowledge]] and experience that distinguish a good herbalist from a mediocre one

(1)The terms used here reflect typical TCM usage (as translated literally from individual Chinese characters), and may not reflect their meanings in TCM, namely, meanings that are normative, figurative or metaphorical when read in context. The meanings of these terms are therefore different from that in common English usage. In particular, they are not to be used for purposes of self-diagnosis, much less for self-medication. For example, "Xia Huo" means "To reduce fire", but "fire" here does not refer to combustion involving [[oxygen]]. Even within TCM, there are various meanings of "fire", and it can refer to "real" or "false" fire. The 3 herbs mentioned above cannot be used to reduce "false fire", or fires of yin deficiency in the zhang organs.
(2) An example of the non-literal use of transliterated characters is "long gu" which literally means "dragon bones". This term cannot possible refer to Chinese dragons, since they do not exist. However, one can easily buy "long gu" from any TCM herbal shop. Another term that cannot be taken literally is "di long" which literally means "earth dragon".
(3) Although the above herbs are common in TCM prescriptions, they cannot be purchased if we refer only to their Latin names. One likely reason is that TCM pharmacists rarely, if ever, use the Latin names of the herbs. The Chinese names, or the transliterated names (pinyin) should be used instead. For example, if we ask for "flos Lonicerae" we will almost certainly get a blank look. However, if we ask for "Jin Yin Hua" or '''金银花''' we will connect immediately, even though the pharmacist may speak any of the large number of Chinese dialects (such as Cantonese, where the herb is known as "Kum Gen Fa", or Golden Silver Flower, in Hong Kong). Wherever possible, use the written form (金银花) to avoid miscommunication and/or mis-pronunciation, since there is no dialect form of the written language.
(4) There are a large number of synonyms of the herb names, in both Chinese, English and Latin. This makes it even more essential to use the written form of the Chinese names to ensure accuracy.
(5) Some herbs are prone to adulteration, substitution, or both. For example, Ling Zhi Cao (Cordyceps) can be substituted with an inactive form of the herb. If an extract is first made with water, the herb will be tasteless when dried and re-used/recycled. On the other hand, the genuine Ling Zhi tastes bitter, but few consumers would know the difference, especially if the herb is mixed in a prescription and boiled together with other herbs. The pharmacists themselves may not be aware, as some may trust their suppliers implicitly, and do not conduct regular testing.
(6) Animal-based "herbs" are prone to substitution or adulteration, including Xiong Dan (bear bile / [[gall bladder]]) which looks very much like Niu Dan (bovine bile /gall bladder) when the gall bladder is dried, although Niu Dan is far less bitter in taste. Some are simply unavailable because they are banned in many countries. These include tiger parts, such as Hu Gu (tiger bone) which is substituted by bobcat bone, and Chuan San Jia (scales of the pangolin) which has no animal-based substitute. Niu Huang (bovine gallstone) is unavailable in many Western countries and Singapore because of its potential impact on pregnant women, although Niu Huang Pills with about 2% of Niu Huang are available in many Asian countries.

'''Junglefowl''' are the four living species of [[bird]] from the genus '''''Gallus''''' in the [[pheasant]] family. They occur in [[India]], [[Sri Lanka]] and Southeast Asia.
These are large birds, with colourful male plumage. They are difficult to see in the dense vegetation they live in.
The junglefowl are seed-eaters, but [[insect]]s are also taken, particularly by the young birds.
One of the species in this genus, the [[red junglefowl]], is of historical importance as the ancestor of the [[chicken]].

In [[World War II]], '''the Battle of France''', also called the '''Fall of France''', was the [[Nazi Germany|German]] [[invasion]] of [[France]] and the [[Low Countries]] from 10 May 1940 that ended the [[Phoney War]]. The battle was made up of two parts.
In the first part, called ''Fall Gelb'' in [[German language|German]] ("Case Yellow" in [[English language|English]]), German [[tank]] units pushed through the [[Ardennes (forest)|Ardennes]] to circle the [[Allies of World War II|Allied]] units that moved into [[Belgium]]. Most of the British Expeditionary Force and many French [[soldier|soldiers]] escaped to [[England]] from [[Dunkirk]] during [[Operation Dynamo]].
The second part of the battle, called ''Fall Rot'' in German ("Case Red" in English), started on 5 June, when German armed forces circled the [[Maginot Line]] to attack the rest of France. [[Italy]] got into the war and started its own invasion of France, in the southeast of the country, on 10 June. The French [[government]] left [[Paris]] for [[Bordeaux]], and the Germans took Paris on 14 June. After the French Second Army Group's surrender on 22 June, [[Philippe Pétain]] signed an [[armistice]] on 25 June.
The campaign was a major victory for the [[Axis Powers]].<ref>{{citation |last=Keegan |first=John |title=The Second World War |place=Glenfield, Auckland 10, New Zealand |publisher=Hutchinson |year=1989}}.</ref>
The [[French Third Republic]] ended. France was split into a German-occupied part in the north and west, a small Italian-occupied part in the southeast, and a [[satellite state]] part in the south that was called [[Vichy France]]. Southern France was invaded by Germany on 10 November 1942.
France began to be freed by the Allies at the [[Battle of Normandy]] in 1944. The Low Countries were freed later in 1944 and in 1945.

She is the second child and only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. She is the only sister of King Charles III. Anne is 16th in the line of succession to the British throne. She has been Princess Royal since 1987.
Anne was born at [[Clarence House]] in London. She married Captain Mark Phillips in 1973, and had two children, [[Peter Phillips]] and [[Zara Phillips]]. They separated in 1989 and later divorced. The Princess married Commander Timothy Laurence [[Royal Navy|RN]] in 1993.
Ian Ball tried to kidnap (take) the Princess in 1974, but was stopped by her bodyguard and the public. Ball was not sent to prison, but to a mental hospital. Anne is 16th in line to the [[throne]] of the [[United Kingdom]], after the two younger brothers, six nieces and nephews, two grand-nephews, and one grand-niece. She is often called the hardest-working member of the [[British Royal Family]].

[[File:Turbojet operation-axial flow-en.svg|thumb|right|]]
A '''turbojet''' is a kind of [[jet engine]] that works by squeezing air into a small space, mixing it with [[fuel]], and setting it on fire.<ref> A Dictionary of Aviation, David W. Wragg. {{ISBN|9780850451634}}, 1st Edition Published by Osprey, 1973 / Published by Frederick Fell, Inc., NY, 1974 (1st American Edition.)</ref><ref name=Mair77.78>W. Austyn Mair, ''Aircraft Performance'' (Cambridge; New York: Cambridge University Press, 1992), pp. 77–78</ref> The mixture of fuel and air goes out the back of the engine and pushes it forward. As it leaves the engine it spins a [[turbine]] which turns a [[gas compressor]] at the front which sucks in more air and compresses it.
'''Turbofan''' engines are more complex. They are more common today because they can make more [[Power (physics)|power]], for the same amount of fuel, than a turbojet.<ref name=Mair77.78/> They also make less noise. [[Supersonic]] aircraft still use the simpler kind.
== Parts ==
[[File:Gasturbine1หลักการ.JPG|thumb|right|]]
* The air intake is the part at the front of the engine. The intake is where the air goes into the engine.
* The air compressor squeezes the air to make it smaller. This makes the pressure and temperature higher. The air compressor is made out of spinning blades called rotors, and blades that do not move, called stators.
* The combustion chamber is where the air is burnt. Fuel is injected by several tubes, and the fire heats up the air.
* After passing the combustion chamber, the air pushes a turbine fan. This turbine fan is connected to the compressor. The air pushing on it makes the rotors of the compressor turn.
* The nozzle is where the air comes out of the engine. The speed of the air is bigger than the speed at the air intake. This bigger force makes the vehicle move towards the front.
* Some planes have an afterburner. The afterburner is like a combustion chamber, but is attached behind the nozzle. It has tubes which inject fuel and burns the air again. The afterburner is used in order to increase speed of the vehicle, but the use of fuel is very high. This makes it used rarely, for example on [[supersonic]] airplanes.

The '''App Store''' is an online market used on Apple's [[iOS]], [[macOS]], and [[iPadOS]], managed by [[Apple Inc.]] The App Store lets users view and download applications that were made with the iOS [[Software development|Software Development]] Kit. Apps can be downloaded onto an iOS device directly, or onto a computer using [[iTunes]] or Finder (also managed by Apple).
Apps in the App Store are made mainly for iOS devices, such as [[iPhone]]s and [[iPad]]s. Some apps can be downloaded for free while others have a cost. Some have "in-app purchases", which are purchases made within the app. These are sometimes done to remove ads or to add features to an app. 30% of all profit made through apps goes to Apple, while 70% goes to whoever made the app.<ref>[http://www.cnet.com/news/apples-app-store-an-economy-for-1-percent-of-developers/ Apple's App Store: An economy for 1 percent of developers]. [[CNET]]. Retrieved July 9, 2014.</ref>
Apple [[iOS 11]] App Store is the current eleventh major release of the iOS [[mobile operating system]] developed by Apple Inc. It was announced and the first beta version released to developers at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference on June 5, 2017.
==History==
In July 2008, the App Store opened with a change to [[iTunes]]. Apple could now control app quality and add extra pricing to the already set cost of an app. A day later, the [[iPhone 3G]] was launched and it came with iOS 2.0.1. This version had App Store support, and was soon made available for older iPhones and the iPod Touch.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2008/06/09iphone.html |title=Apple Introduces the New iPhone 3G |publisher=Apple Inc. |date=June 9, 2008 |access-date=September 16, 2009}}</ref> {{As of|2012|February|10|df=US}}, there are over one million apps on the App Store.<ref name="ASE20110606"/>
As of January, 2011, the App Store had nearly 10 [[billion]] app downloads, which the company said using the "10 Billion App Countdown".<ref>[https://www.apple.com/itunes/10-billion-app-countdown/ "10 Billion App Countdown"] Apple January 14, 2011.</ref> At 10:26 am ([[GMT]]) on January 22, 2011,<ref>[http://www.setteb.it/?p=10452 10:26 AM GMT on Saturday, January 22, 2011] setteB.IT January 22, 2011.</ref> the 10 billionth app was downloaded from Apple App Store. As of July that year, 200 [[million]] users downloaded over 15 billion apps from the store.<ref name="15billion" /><ref>{{cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2011/07/07/apples-app-store-crosses-15b-app-downloads-adds-1b-downloads-in-past-month/ |title=Apple's App Store Crosses 15B App Downloads, Adds 1B Downloads In Past Month |publisher=TechCrunch |date=July 7, 2011 |access-date=2014-06-20}}</ref>

Average profit per app is about US$8,700, but Apple does not let the public view this data.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2010/06/full-analysis-of-iphone-economics-its-bad-news-and-then-it-gets-worse.html |title=Full Analysis of iPhone Economics – it is bad news. And then it gets worse |publisher=Communities Dominate Brands |date=June 22, 2010}}</ref> In May 2011, Apple approved its 500,000th app.<ref>{{cite web|last=Wehner |first=Mike |url=https://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technology-blog/apple-approves-500-000th-app-care-160140999.html |title=Apple approves its 500,000th app, but do you care? | Technology News Blog — Yahoo News |publisher=News.yahoo.com |date=May 24, 2011 |access-date=2014-06-20}}</ref>
The success of the App Store led other companies to release their own "app stores", and now any similar service for mobiles are sometimes called app stores.

In February 2011, Apple announced a new subscription-based service, which will allow developers to set the length and price of subscriptions. Previously, new magazine or news releases were sold as its own release. The new feature allowed publishers to sell content directly through their apps, allowing users to receive new content over specified periods of time.<ref>{{cite news |title=Apple rolls out subscription service |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/technology/tech-news/apple-rolls-out-subscription-service/article1907736/ |work=Globe and Mail |date=February 15, 2011 |access-date=February 15, 2011 |location=Toronto |first=Paul |last=Thomasch |archive-date=February 18, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110218011802/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/technology/tech-news/apple-rolls-out-subscription-service/article1907736/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

When the [[iPhone 5]] was launched, Apple changed the look of the App Store, as well as the [[iTunes Store]] and iBookstore, as part of [[iOS 6]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://images.apple.com/iphone/from-the-app-store/images/fromtheappstore_hero.png|title=Picture of the new App Store running on iPhone 5|access-date=2017-09-17|archive-date=2013-07-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130729055215/http://images.apple.com/iphone/from-the-app-store/images/fromtheappstore_hero.png|url-status=dead}}</ref>
On January 7, 2013, Apple announced that there have been over 40 billion apps downloaded from their iOS App Store, with about half of those coming in 2012.<ref>Lomas, Natasha. January 7, 2013.

In September 2013, Apple announced at its Worldwide Developers Conference the addition of a Kids category to the App Store with the launch of [[iOS 7]]. The category is split by age range and apps made for children under 13 must follow the Children's Online [[Privacy]] Protection Act (COPPA).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cultofmac.com/246490/apple-adds-kids-section-to-app-store/ |title=Apple Adds Kids Section To App Store |publisher=Cult of Mac |date=September 20, 2013 |access-date=2014-06-20}}</ref>
As of the end of 2013, App Store users spent over US$10 billion in 2013, and users downloaded almost three billion apps in December 2013. This was the most successful month in App Store history, and developers have earned over $15 billion since the making of the App Store.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2014/01/27Apple-Reports-First-Quarter-Results.html|title=Apple Reports on the App Store |publisher=Apple |access-date=June 20, 2014}}</ref>
==Number of launched applications==
On July 10, 2008, Apple CEO [[Steve Jobs]] told ''[[USA Today]]'' that the App Store contained 500 non-Apple applications for the iPhone and the iPod Touch, and of these 25 percent were free.<ref name="engadget">{{cite web|url=https://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/jobs-app-store-launching-with-500-iphone-applications-25-free/|title=Jobs: App Store launching with 500 iPhone applications, 25% free|date=July 10, 2008|publisher=[[Engadget]]|access-date=June 5, 2010}}</ref> These applications range from business to game applications, entertainment to educational applications, and many more. On July 11, 2008, the store opened, allowing users to buy applications and put them on an iPhone or iPod Touch with iOS 2.0. Ten million applications were downloaded the first weekend.<ref name="ApplePress1">{{cite press release |url=https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2008/07/14appstore.html|title=iPhone App Store Downloads Top 10 Million in First Weekend|date=July 14, 2008|publisher=[[Apple Inc.]]|access-date=November 10, 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20081123022026/http://www.apple.com./pr/library/2008/07/14appstore.html| archive-date= November 23, 2008 | url-status= live}}</ref>

==Application ratings==
Apple rates apps worldwide based on their content, and gives the app an age group for which is appropriate. The following are the ratings that Apple has detailed:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Rating
! Description
|-
| style="background:green;"|'''4+'''
| All app content should be child-friendly.
|-
| style="background:lime;"|'''9+'''
| May contain occasional appearances of cartoon, fantasy or realistic violence, and occasional mature or horror-themed content which may not be good for children under 9.
|-
| style="background:yellow;"|'''12+'''
| May contain frequent cartoon, fantasy or realistic violence, mature or suggestive themes, may sometimes have bad language, and simulated gambling. These may not be suitable to children under 12 years of age.
|-
| style="background:#EC0000; color:white;"|'''17+'''
| May contain frequent and intense realistic violence, internet access without restriction, frequent and intense mature, horror, and suggestive themes; also strong sexual content, nudity, harsh language, alcohol, tobacco, and drugs which may not be suitable for children under the age of 17. When an app of this rating is requested for download, a message will appear on the device, asking if the user is 17 or older, before starting the download.
|}
==App approval process==
Apple must review all applications before they can enter the App Store for users to download.
{{Asof|2013}}, Apple used a method of reviewing apps which had flaws, and this meant that some bad apps could get past the review process.<ref>{{cite web|last=Cox |first=John |url=http://www.networkworld.com/news/2013/081913-jekyll-test-attack-sneaks-through-272947.html |title="Jekyll" test attack sneaks through Apple App Store, wreaks havoc on iOS |publisher=Network World |date=August 18, 2013 |access-date=2014-06-20}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Talbot |first=David |url=http://www.technologyreview.com/news/518096/remotely-assembled-malware-blows-past-apples-screening-process/ |title=Remotely Assembled Malware Blows Past Apple's Screening Process | MIT Technology Review |publisher=Technologyreview.com |date=August 15, 2013 |access-date=2014-06-20}}</ref>
According to Apple statistics<ref>{{Cite web|last=Bansal|first=Nikhil|date=2026-01-06|title=iOS Apple App Store Statistics 2026|url=https://www.apptunix.com/blog/apple-app-store-statistics/|access-date=2026-05-26|website=Apptunix Blog|language=en}}</ref> 62% of common app rejections occur due to the regular non-compliance with the main Apple guidelines.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cleveroad.com/blog/app-store-optimization-google-play-store-and-apple-app-store|title=App Store Optimization: Google Play Store and Apple App Store|website=Cleveroad Inc. - Web & App development company|access-date=2018-09-05|archive-date=2020-09-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200920210047/https://www.cleveroad.com/blog/app-store-optimization-google-play-store-and-apple-app-store|url-status=dead}}</ref>
==Controversial apps==
Many times, Apple has removed apps because they did not follow the Apple policies for apps.
In November 2012, Boyfriend Maker, a dating sim game, was removed due to "reports of references to violent sexual acts and paedophilia"<ref name="polygon BFM-pulled">{{cite web|title=Boyfriend Maker gets pulled from App Store for references to paedophilia|url=http://www.polygon.com/2012/11/26/3692230/boyfriend-maker-gets-pulled-from-app-store-for-references-to|last=Gera|first=Emily|website=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]]|access-date=December 26, 2013|date=November 26, 2012}}</ref> which were not appropriate to Boyfriend Maker's age rating of 4+. A modified version named Boyfriend Maker Plus was approved by Apple in April 2013.<ref>{{cite web|last=Andrew|first=Keith|title=With a new age rating, 'sexually explicit' Boyfriend Maker makes App Store return: Rebranded as Boyfriend Plus|url=http://www.pocketgamer.biz/r/PG.Biz/Boyfriend+Plus/news.asp?c=50304|publisher=Pocket Gamer|access-date=December 26, 2013|date=April 23, 2013}}</ref>
On March 11, 2013, HiddenApps was approved and appeared in the App Store. This app allowed access to special developer-only menus, could allow built-in apps to be hidden, and an option to turn off iAds, Apple's ad system.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://akufu.com/hiddenapps-iads-opt-out-jailbreak/ |title=HiddenApps Allows iAds Opt-Out Without Jailbreak |publisher=akufu.com |access-date=March 13, 2013 |archive-date=March 13, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130313230415/http://akufu.com/hiddenapps-iads-opt-out-jailbreak/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
==National limitations==
While Apple wants the App Store to be available worldwide, their market is restricted to country borders. Different countries have slightly different app stores. Some apps may only be available on the app stores of a few countries, while others can be available in many countries. Trying to use an app store of one country while in another may be a problem: Apple warns that "one of the risks of creating a German account while you are in Greece is, our system may able to detect it and it may put restrictions on your account (German) that will prevent you from using the iTunes Store".
==Similar services for other devices==
Other mobile devices have other app stores available for them. Some of these are made by the company that made the device, but not all are that way. [[Amazon.com]] has the Amazon Appstore for all [[Android (operating system)|Android]] users. The [[Google Play]] store (was known as Android Market) is the official store for Google's Android devices. In 2010, [[Microsoft]] created the Windows Phone Store, an online market for their [[Windows Phone]] devices. In October 2012, the [[Windows Store]] was made for [[Windows 8]] and [[Windows RT]] computers.
[[Nokia]] also has the Ovi Store,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://store.ovi.com/ |title=Ovi Store |publisher=Store.ovi.com |access-date=December 2, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091201184030/http://store.ovi.com/ |archive-date=December 1, 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref> for Nokia devices. [[BlackBerry]] has an app store named BlackBerry World.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10188400-1.html |title=RIM store crowned BlackBerry App World |publisher=[[CNET]] |date=March 4, 2009 |access-date=March 8, 2009 |archive-date=October 26, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121026113330/http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10188400-1.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> BlackBerry 10 users do not have to use BlackBerry World, they are allowed to use other app stores as well.
Game consoles, such as the [[Nintendo DSi]], also have their own online stores. The DSi has the "DSi Shop", while the Sony PSP ([[PlayStation Portable]]) and the [[PlayStation Vita]] have the [[PlayStation Store]].

'''Jesus''' (or ''Jesus Christ'', or ''Jesus of Nazareth'') was a Jewish preacher and reformer of religion and the central figure of [[Christianity]].

==Name==
The name ''Jesus'' came from the [[Greek language|Greek]] ''Iesous'', from [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] ''Yeshua,'' meaning "[[YHWH|Yahweh]] is [[Salvation (Christianity)|salvation]] (or deliverance)." In the early first century, this was a popular name.
The words "''Christ''" and "''Messiah''" both mean the same thing. The first one comes from the Greek word "''Christos''," which means "''Anointed One''," and the last one comes from the Hebrew word "''Mashiach''," which also means "''Anointed One.''"<ref>{{cite book| title = GCSE Religious Studies: Complete Revision and Practice| url = https://archive.org/details/gcsereligiousstu0000pars| date = 2009| publisher = Coordination Group Publications| isbn = 978-1-84762-406-2| page = [https://archive.org/details/gcsereligiousstu0000pars/page/105 105] }}</ref>
In Jewish tradition, the King of Israel was anointed to show that they were chosen.{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} Hence, "Messiah" and "Christ" are also terms that mean "King of Israel" in the context of the Bible.{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}}
==Life according to the Gospels==<!---Do NOT shorten this heading--->
===Birth===
[[File:Giotto - Scrovegni - -18- - Adoration of the Magi.jpg|thumb|250px|Matthew tells that wise men from the East came to bring precious gifts to the baby Jesus (painted by [[Giotto]] in 1300).]]
The [[Gospel of Matthew]] and the [[Gospel of Luke]] claim that Jesus had parents named Mary and Joseph, and that Mary was [[Arranged marriage|betrothed]] to Joseph. They say that Mary and Joseph were made aware by the [[Gabriel|angel Gabriel]] that Jesus was going to be the King of Israel promised to the Jewish people.<ref>Matthew 1:18-23</ref><ref>Luke 1:26-38</ref><ref>Luke 1:41-45</ref> When Joseph and Mary go to Bethlehem, Mary gives birth to Jesus and lays him in a manger. Eight days after his birth, Jesus was [[circumcised]].
Most Christians celebrate the day that Jesus was born, which is the [[Christmas]] holiday. The Gospels do not say what day Jesus was born, but the date of December 25 was eventually chosen because there was already a [[Saturnalia|Roman holiday on that day]].<ref>{{cite book| last1 = Ehorn| first1 = Lee Ellen| last2 = Hewlett| first2 = Shirely J.| last3 = Hewlett| first3 = Dale M.| title = December Holiday Customs| date = September 1, 1995| publisher = Lorenz Educational Press| isbn = 978-1-4291-0896-6| page = 1 }}</ref>
=== Baptism and Temptation ===
In the Gospels, [[John the Baptist]] knows about Jesus. When he baptizes Jesus, the Spirit of God descends upon Jesus like a dove,<ref>The Gospel of Luke specifies "in bodily form," but none of the other gospels do this. In the Gospel of John, John the Baptist is explicitly mentioned as a witness to these events, but the other gospels only note that Jesus saw it happen.</ref> and a voice from heaven is heard. Then Jesus is led into the wilderness by the Spirit where he fasted and was tested by the accuser, though Jesus resisted his attempts.
Jesus went into Galilee, settled in Capernaum, and began to preach about the Kingdom of God.
=== Ministry ===
Jesus taught in [[Parables of Jesus|parables]]. He said that people should love God and love each other as the [[Old Testament|scriptures]] tell them to do, and he taught his followers [[Lord's Prayer|how to pray]]. Jesus performed [[Miracles of Jesus|miracles]] as signs of God's power, such as giving hungry people food and wine, healing sick people, and raising the dead. He also set people free from evil spirits.
[[File:Giotto Scrovegni 26 entry into Jerusalem detail.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Jesus riding into [[Jerusalem]] is greeted by crowds of people who use their cloaks and branches to make a carpet for him (painted by Giotto, 1300).]]
Jesus gathered together twelve men, known as the ''[[Twelve Apostles]]'', whom he chose and trained to spread his message. He had female disciples, but they could not travel far on their own because of Jewish customs.{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}}
The Bible says Jesus became famous. He went to [[Jerusalem]], where many were visiting the city for [[Passover]]. When they heard that he was coming, they greeted him as if he was a king. They thought he would free them from the Roman rule, but Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey as a sign that he came in peace.
Jesus did certain things that upset the [[Pharisees]]. They thought that he showed disrespect for the customs that the Jews had kept for many centuries, such as the [[Sabbath]]: in the [[Gospel of John]], when Jesus heals a crippled man lying on a mattress, he tells the man to pick up the mattress and go home, but carrying the mattress on the Sabbath was against religious custom because it was a kind of labor, so the religious leaders argued with Jesus about it. They then watched everything he did, and remembered all the things that were against the religious customs.
In the [[Gospel of Mark]], it says that Jesus went to the Jewish temple when he arrived in Jerusalem. He became angry because there were sellers and money lenders who were cheating poor people. Jesus chased them away and accused the chief priests and scribes of turning the temple into a den of thieves because they were making money from the poor and taking away homes from poor women who had no other way to pay for the temple worship.<ref>Mark 11:17,18 and Mark 12:40</ref>
=== Crucifixion, Burial, and Resurrection ===
The Gospels say that the temple leaders were angry and wanted to kill him. The Pharisees wanted to crucify him because he claimed to be the Son of God. [[Pontius Pilate]], the governor of Roman Judea, thought that Jesus should be set free, but the Jewish leaders said: "''If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar.''"
Pilate sentenced him to death because his followers claimed that he was the king of the Jews. The Roman soldiers killed Jesus by [[crucifixion]]. He was nailed up to a high [[Christian cross|cross]] by his hands and feet. This was a common way for the [[Ancient Romans|Romans]] to kill rebels and criminals.
The body of Jesus was buried in a tomb that belonged to one of his followers. On the day after the Sabbath, early in the morning, women went to treat the body with [[spice]] and [[perfume]]d oil. But when they got to the tomb, the body of Jesus was missing, though they saw him alive afterward.
Some people, like the disciple [[Thomas the Apostle|Thomas]], said, "''Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.''" The Bible claims that five hundred people, including Thomas, saw Jesus alive again. There are many stories in the Gospels about what Jesus did after he was resurrected.
According to the [[Gospel of Luke]], Jesus took his disciples to a hill where he blessed them and told them to spread his teaching through all the world. Then clouds came down, and he was lifted up to heaven.
Most Christians celebrate the time that the Gospels say he died and was raised from the dead as the holiday of [[Easter]].<ref group="note">Easter is not held on the same date every year, because Jesus' death is always remembered on a Friday called "[[Good Friday]]". Easter is celebrated the first Sunday following the first full moon after the Spring [[Equinox]]. This means it can be celebrated in March or April. Western churches, like the [[Roman Catholic Church]], use the [[Gregorian calendar]] and [[Eastern Christianity|Eastern churches]], like the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]], use the [[Julian calendar]]. Because of this, the date of Easter celebrations is different for these two types of churches even though the way they calculate the date is the same.</ref>
== The Epistles ==
In the [[New Testament]], there are letters (''epistles'') written from 1st-century to the 2nd-century,{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} though none of them were written by Jesus. Most of them were written by [[Paul the Apostle|Paul]], an apostle who used to persecute Christians but converted to Christianity after witnessing the resurrected Jesus.{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} The [[Pauline epistles|ones that were written by Paul]] were addressed to churches and intended either to praise them for their faithfulness or to correct their mistakes.{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}}
A few of these letters, like the [[Epistle to Titus]], probably weren't written by Paul, even though they are traditionally attributed to Paul.{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}}
There are other letters in the New Testament by other writers including Peter, James, and John, but their authorship is debated.{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} These letters all help to build the beliefs that modern Christians have.
'''See section''': [[#Other views about Jesus|Other views about Jesus]]
=== Jesus as God in nature ===
[[File:Christ pantocrator daphne1090-1100.jpg|thumb|This [[mosaic]] from 1100, [[Athens]], shows Jesus as Judge of the Earth.]]
Whether or not Jesus is God in nature, and in what sense, has been the subject of much debate for a long time. Many Christians, including those from the [[Catholicism|Catholic]], [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodox]], and [[Protestantism|Protestant]] denominations, believe that Jesus was both God in nature and Human in nature. Jesus is described in different parts of the [[New Testament]] as being "the Word," "the Son of God," and "the Son of Man," though these can all (excluding "the Word") be interpreted as different titles for the King of Israel.
These teachings, which are believed by most Christians, are not believed by many other people. The Islamic teaching is that Jesus was a [[prophet|human prophet]], but he was not part of God or the "Son of God." In Jesus's own time, many Jews became very angry at Jesus for saying that he was the "Son of God" and also because his followers said he was the "Messiah." Most Jews do not believe this.
These Bible verses are often interpreted as supporting [[Trinity|Trinitarianism]]:
:''"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."'' [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%201%3A1&version=NRSVUE John 1:1-2, NRSVUE]
:''"And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's only son, full of grace and truth."'' [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%201%3A14&version=NRSVUE John 1:14, NRSVUE]
:
:"''The Father and I are one.''" [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2010%3A30&version=NRSVUE John 10:30, NRSVUE]
:''"To them belong the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, comes the Christ, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen."'' [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%209%3A5&version=NRSVUE Romans 9:5, NRSVUE]
:''"while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ."'' [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Titus%202%3A13&version=NRSVUE Titus 2:13, NRSVUE]
:''"For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily"'' [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%202%3A9&version=NRSVUE Colossians 2:9, NRSVUE]
Jesus is also referred to as "the Son of God".
:''"but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom he also created the worlds. He is the reflection of God's glory and the exact imprint of God's very being, and he sustains all things by his powerful word. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high"'' [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%201%3A2-3&version=NRSVUE Hebrews 1:2-3, NRSVUE]
:''"And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life."'' [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20John%205%3A20&version=NRSVUE 1 John 5:20, NRSVUE]
Many Christians believe that these verses say Jesus is God in nature, and all Christians believe that Jesus's death on the cross allows all people to be forgiven by God for their sins. Most Christians believe that if a person asks God to forgive them, he will do so, and they will get to live forever with him in heaven.<ref name="religioustolerance1">{{Cite web |url=http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_savj2.htm |title=SALVATION: WHAT DID THE GOSPEL WRITERS AND PAUL SAY? |access-date=2008-04-25 |archive-date=2008-10-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081015132553/http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_savj2.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref>
=== God in human form ===
[[File:Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn 048.jpg|thumb|Jesus painted by [[Rembrandt]], Dutch, 1600s. Rembrandt used a Jewish man as his model.]]
Many Christians believe that Jesus was not only truly God but also truly human, and that this was part of God's plan to bring humans closer to understanding him. People who do not have Christian beliefs have different ideas about Jesus.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.religionfacts.com/jesus/religious_views.htm |title=Comparison Chart: Religious Views of Jesus |first= |last= |work=religionfacts.com |year=2014 |accessdate=12 July 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url =http://www.vatican.va/jubilee_2000/magazine/documents/ju_mag_01031997_p-29_en.html|title=Christ and the other religions|first= Michael | last=Fitzgerald|work=Commission for Interreligious Dialogue|year=2014|accessdate=12 July 2014}}</ref>
Verses from the Bible:-
:"''And the Word became flesh and lived among us"'' [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%201%3A14&version=NRSVUE John 1:14, NRSVUE]
In the [[Gospel of Matthew]], Jesus is often called "the Son of Man," which is a Hebrew expression that just refers to a person (i.e., ''son of Adam''). Matthew has borrowed these words from the [[Old Testament]],{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} where they are often used to show that humankind is very far from God. In the Bible, God is often praised and thanked for helping ordinary humans, who are called "sons of man." In the [[Psalms|Book of Psalms]], the Psalmist asks God: ''"what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?"''<ref group="note">Paraphrased</ref>
Jesus says, in the Gospel of Matthew, ''"Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see 'the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven' with power and great glory."'' Like the Psalmist, Jesus is making a difference between his ordinary human life and his great power as the ''Son of God''.
=== "The Good Shepherd" ===
One of the best-loved parts of the [[Old Testament]] is a song called Psalm 23. It starts:
:''"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters."''<ref group="note">This is one of many songs or "psalms" are believed to have been written by David, a shepherd boy who became the King of Israel and was a great musician. Matthew's Gospel shows that Jesus' father was the direct descendant of King David.</ref>
In the Gospels, Jesus often spoke about himself as being like a shepherd, caring for sheep. He called himself the "Good Shepherd" who would even give his own life, to protect his sheep. He told the Jewish people, referring to non-Jewish or ''Gentile'' believers, that he had "other sheep" that do not belong to this flock. ([https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2010%3A16&version=NRSVUE John 10:16, NRSVUE]). In one of his last conversations with his disciple Peter, he told him, ''"Feed my sheep!"'', in other words ''"Take care of my people."''.
=== "The Holy Saviour" ===
In [[Judaism]], from ancient times, people are seen as [[sin]]ful or bad,{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} in need of forgiveness from God. They believed that there were two ways to get God's forgiveness, by [[prayer]] and by [[:wikt:sacrifice|sacrifice]].{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} Prayer could be done anywhere, but sacrifices were done at the temple. A person would bring an animal, often a lamb, or if they were poor, a [[dove]]. They would put their hands on the animal to lay their sins on it. Then the animal would be killed, as a punishment for the sin. This type of sacrifice continued until the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 71 AD. Paying money to the temple was also a sort of sacrifice. When Jesus drove the traders out of the temple, they were the people who sold lambs and doves, and the people who exchanged Roman money into special temple money.
[[File:Torso stgeorg detail.jpg|thumb|A broken statue of Jesus crucified, from [[Germany]] about 1000 AD]]
Part of Christian belief is that Jesus Christ did not just come as a human person so that he could teach a better way of life. Christians also believe that Jesus was the ''ultimate'' sacrifice for the sin of humankind, that Jesus is the "Saviour" who came to [[Salvation (Christianity)|save]]. Christians believe that, unlike ordinary people, Jesus was completely pure and free from sin, but that when he died on the cross, he took on himself all the sins of every person who would believe in him, like the lamb sacrificed in the temple.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_savj3.htm |title=Religious Tolerance- ''Salvation'' |access-date=2008-04-25 |archive-date=2008-11-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081120034948/http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_savj3.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref>
Based on the [[Gospel of John]], the Christian teaching is that the death and resurrection of Jesus are the sign of his power to forgive the sins of any person who turns to him and truly asks for forgiveness.<ref name="religioustolerance1"/> The Bible says that sinners who are forgiven should try to live a ''new life'' and not go back to their sinful behaviour. Christians believe that knowing about God's love helps people to live a new and better life.
These are three verses from the Bible that are important in this Christian belief:
''"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." [[John 3:16]].''
''Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."'' ''[[John 14#Verse 6|John 14:6]]''.
''"If we say we have no sins, we are fooling ourselves and not telling the truth. But if we tell our sins humbly to God, then He has promised to listen and to forgive our sins and make us clean from all our badness."'' from the [[First Epistle of John|First Letter of John]].

== Other views about Jesus ==
=== Jesus as a teacher ===
Some people who are not Christians believe that Jesus lived at the time that the Gospels say, but do not believe that Jesus was the "Son of God" or "Savior". They believe that Jesus was an ordinary, but very good person, a teacher, or a [[prophet]].
[[Mohandas Gandhi]] said, "I am a Muslim, and a Hindu, and a Christian, and a Jew," even though he was born a [[Jainism|Jain]].
=== Muslim beliefs about Jesus ===
Muslims believe [[Isa Masih|Jesus]] was the second-to-last Prophet (messenger of God). They call Him "Isa", the Arabic name for Jesus. They believe that [[Muhammad]] was the very last Prophet. They believe that both Jesus and Muhammad were ordinary men, chosen by God to be his servant and teach the word of Islam.
Muslims do not believe that Jesus was God or "the Son of God". Islam is strictly [[monotheism|monotheistic]]: it says that there is only one God. Muslims believe that Jesus cannot be part of God, because there is only one God. If someone other than God is worshiped, it is thought to be [[polytheism]] (belief in more than one God). It is also thought to be [[idolatry]]: idolizing someone other than God.
Islam teaches that Jesus did not die on the cross, but another man disguised as him went on the cross for Isa ([[Qur'an]] 4:157).<ref>{{cite web|title=Quran translation Comparison {{!}} Al-Quran Surah 4. An-Nisaa, Ayah 157 {{!}} Alim|url=http://www.alim.org/library/quran/ayah/compare/4/157|access-date=2020-12-14|website=www.alim.org|language=en|archive-date=2020-10-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201026192435/http://www.alim.org/library/quran/ayah/compare/4/157|url-status=dead}}</ref> This is very different from Christianity. Jesus' death is a very important part of the Christian belief about salvation. Muslims always say "peace be upon him" after saying Jesus' name as a sign of respect in short and Arabic a.s.
Muslims also accept some other teachings about Jesus. These teachings say that Jesus will return to the earth in the End Of Days; he will then destroy the false messiah or [[Anti-christ]] before the day of judgment. Muslims also accept Jesus' claims to be a healer. They believe in the many miracles he is said to have performed, like raising the dead to life and giving sight to the blind. They believe that all his miracles were granted to him from God.
The [[Qur'an]] (like the [[Bible]]), mentions the [[virgin birth of Jesus]] but then it says other things about Mary (Islamic-Maryam). The Bible says that Joseph helped Mary give birth to Jesus, but in Islam there is no Joseph. Instead, Mary walked the desert alone in labor and found a tree. The angel [[Gabriel]] (Jibril) asked if she was hungry, then told her to shake the tree and dates fell for her to eat. Then he asked if she was thirsty, and he said look down at your feet and there was water and there she gave birth to Jesus. (Qur'an 19) This is why Muslims [[fasting|fast]] and how they break their fast. Mary knew she had to go back to her town and when she did, with Jesus in her arms, the people were shouting at her for [[adultery]]. Mary wanted to explain herself, but the Angel told her not to speak.
=== Jewish beliefs about Jesus ===
Even though Jesus was a Jew, and his teaching came out of the Jewish religion, most Jewish people do not believe that Jesus was the ''Messiah'' that is promised in the [[Old Testament|Jewish Scriptures]].
In the Gospels, it tells that Jesus made the Jewish teachers very angry with his teachings. It says that part of their anger was because he told them they were "hypocrites" which means that they externally made themselves appear to be living a holy life, but internally their hearts were far from God's.
In the Gospels, the other reason that they became angry was that Jesus acted as if he was the ''Messiah'', and said he was the "Son of God". This meant that he was either a terrible liar, that he was mad and just imagined it, or that it was true. But Jesus did not seem to be mad. So that left only two choices. If Jesus was lying, then he was doing something badly against the Jewish religion. It was because of the claims that Jesus was the "Son of God" that some of the Jewish leaders wanted him killed and they handed him to the Roman rulers. The Romans did not care if Jesus said something that was against the Jewish beliefs. But they knew that people had also said that Jesus was "King of the Jews". The Jewish leaders claimed this was against the Roman Government's laws. Although the Roman leaders did not agree, they had him killed to prevent a possible riot.
Although, today and through history, most Jews do not believe what Christians say about Jesus, there are some Jews who do believe that Jesus was the ''Messiah'' promised in the Jewish Scriptures. Jews who believe this are called Jewish Christians.
== How the Gospels were written ==
Nearly all modern scholars, both Christian and non-Christian, agree that Jesus was a real person. Both Christian and non-Christian scholars base their studies of him on the Gospels. They are believed to have been written between 60-90 AD.<ref>[http://www.markdroberts.com/htmfiles/resources/gospelsreliable.htm Mark D. Roberts, ''Are the New Testament Gospels Reliable?'']</ref>
By tradition, ''the Gospels'' were written by four men, [[Saint Matthew|Matthew]], [[Saint Mark|Mark]], [[Saint Luke|Luke]] and [[John the Apostle|John]] who gave their names to these books.
This is the order in which they are arranged in the New Testament of the Bible, but scholars think that it is not the order in which they were written. ''The Gospel of Mark'' was probably written before ''the Gospel of Matthew''. The four Gospels all tell the story of the Life of Jesus, but they do it from four different points of view, because they were written by different people and each writer had reasons to tell it in a different way.
Other scholars have said that leaders in the Early Christian Church made changes to the Gospel writings. These changes are said to have happened at different times, in different ways and for different reasons. For example, one story was left out of many old versions of the Gospels. It is about Jesus rescuing a woman who had committed [[adultery]] (had sex outside marriage) and was about to be killed. [[St. Augustine of Hippo]], (354-430 AD) wrote that this was probably left out because some church leaders thought the story might cause people to act in a sinful way.<ref>Augustine, ''De Adulterinis Conjugiis 2:6–7'', Cited in Wieland Willker, ''A Textual Commentary on the Greek Gospels, Vol. 4b, p. 10.''</ref> This story is in all modern Bibles and is thought to contain very important teaching for Christians.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.bibleodyssey.org/en/passages/related-articles/Manuscript-History-and-John |title=Manuscript History and John 8:1-8:11 |access-date=2022-11-18 |archive-date=2022-11-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221118131024/https://www.bibleodyssey.org/en/passages/related-articles/Manuscript-History-and-John |url-status=dead }}</ref> Other differences that can be found in versions of the Gospels are mostly small and do not make a difference to what is known about the life of Jesus and his teaching.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.biblegateway.com/resources/encyclopedia-of-the-bible/Text-Manuscripts-New-Testament | title=Text and Manuscripts of the New Testament - Encyclopedia of the Bible - Bible Gateway }}</ref>

=== About Mark ===
{{See also|Gospel of Mark}}
Mark's Gospel, which is thought by many biblical scholars to be the earliest, has the name of a young disciple of the apostle Paul who is mentioned several times in the [[Acts of the Apostles]] and Paul's Letters. The Gospel was probably written in [[Rome]] and is thought by scholars to be from the memories of Jesus' follower or ''disciple'', [[Saint Peter|Peter]].<ref name="JPH">James Patrick Holding, ''The New Testament- Gospel Dates, Gospel Authors, Gospel Freedoms'',[http://tektonics.org/ntdocdef/gospdefhub.html] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070814064916/http://tektonics.org/ntdocdef/gospdefhub.html|date=2007-08-14}}</ref> It does not tell about Jesus' birth; it starts when he was 30 years old, at the time when the disciples got to know him. It shows Jesus as a man of action: going around the country, teaching and healing people.
=== About Matthew ===
{{See also|Gospel of Matthew}}
Matthew's Gospel was written next. Matthew was one of Jesus' disciples. He was a Jewish man that was hated by other Jews because he worked for the Roman rulers as a [[tax]] collector. Matthew tells that one day Jesus saw him sitting at his desk in the [[market place]] and said "Follow me".<ref name="JPH"/>
Most Biblical scholars believe that Matthew had read Mark's Gospel and decided to fill in some things that Mark left out, because, while Mark wrote his Gospel for the Church of Rome, Matthew wanted to write for Jewish Christians all over the Roman Empire.<ref name="JPH"/> Matthew was a well-educated Jew, so he knew the Jewish Scriptures, (which Christians also use and call the Old Testament of the Bible). Matthew knew the scripture teachings that the Messiah, or God's anointed one would come. In his Gospel, he often mentions these teachings. He also starts off by giving a list of Jesus' ancestors because this was important to Jewish readers.
=== About Luke ===
{{See also|Gospel of Luke}}
[[File:Nuestra_Señora_de_Czestochowa.jpg|thumb|220px|Black Madonna of Czestochowa with Jesus as a child]]
[[File:Icon 01011 Bogorodica Kazanskaya.jpg|thumb|220px|Jesus as a child, with his mother, Mary. This picture is called "Theotokos of Kazan".]] The apostle Luke was Greek and a friend of the apostle [[Saint Paul|Paul]]. He was a doctor. Luke came to know about Jesus from the ''disciples''. Luke writes about the birth and the childhood of Jesus and he says, "Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them."<ref name="JPH"/>
Luke was not a Jew, and he writes in a way that is easy for other people who are not Jews to understand. He explains Jewish customs and laws. He wrote a second book called the ''[[Acts of the Apostles]]'' which tells what the disciples did after Jesus had left them.
=== About John ===
{{See also|Gospel of John}}
It is believed by scholars of the Bible that John was a ''disciple'' of Jesus and was probably the youngest of the twelve men who were Jesus' main followers.<ref name="JPH"/> He lived to be an old man and, because of his teaching about Jesus, he was sent to a small island, called [[Patmos]].
John writes with one particular idea in mind. He wants to prove to the reader that Jesus is God's way of saving humans from the terrible problem of [[sin]] or ''evil''. John starts by telling the reader that Jesus was and is God. John says that Jesus is God's ''Living [[Communication]]'' (or ''Living Word''). Every part of ''John's Gospel'' is written to show that Jesus came from God, taught the ''Message of God'' and is the way for people to understand ''God's Love''.<ref name="religioustolerance1"/>
== Teaching with stories ==
{{main|Parables of Jesus}}
The Gospels tell many of the stories that Jesus told when he was teaching people about the way that God loved them and the way they should live. These are called parables. They include the following:
[[File:Johns 10.JPG|thumb|417x417px|A church window with the story of The Good Samaritan]]
=== The Good Samaritan ===
{{main|Parable of the Good Samaritan}}
In this story from chapter 10 of [[Gospel of Luke|Luke's Gospel]], Jesus shows what it means to be a good neighbour. Near the Jews lived the people called [[Samaritan]]s. They did not agree with each other about religious teaching and were considered enemies. One day, a Jewish man was walking, when some robbers beat him up, robbed him, and left him naked and almost dead, by the road. A Jewish priest came along and saw him. He thought, "If I touch that naked bleeding man, I will be unclean and I will not be able to go to the Temple!" So, he pretended that he had not seen him. Another Jew, a Holy Man, came along and acted in the same way. At last, a Samaritan came along with a donkey. When he saw the wounded man, he stopped. He washed his wounds with wine and olive oil. Then he put him on his donkey and took him to the nearest inn. He paid the innkeeper and said, "Keep him until he is well, and whatever is owed, I will pay when I come back this way." Jesus said to the people who were listening "Which one of these people acted like a good neighbour?" They said, "He that stopped and helped." Jesus said, "You go and act the same way."
=== The Prodigal Son ===
{{main|Parable of the Prodigal Son}}
Jesus told listeners that a sinner who changes his mind makes angels face joy. In the last story of chapter 15 of [[Gospel of Luke|Luke's Gospel]], Jesus tells how a rich man had two sons. They would both get a share of his money when he died, but he was still alive. The younger son said, "Father, give me my money now, so I can go and enjoy myself, while I'm young." He took the money to another place and wasted it on pleasure. Soon he had none left to feed himself and was ashamed. He got a job caring for pigs, an unholy meat to eat, just keep himself from starving. He said to himself, "I'll go home to my father, and I will say, 'Father, I have sinned! Please let me be a servant in your house!'" When his father saw him coming, he ran along the road to put his arms around his son. The father said, "Bring the finest clothes! Kill the fattest calf to make a feast!" When the elder brother heard about the feast, he was angry and said, "I'm a good son to you, but you never even gave me one little calf to have a feast with my friends!" The father said, "You have always been with me. I love you greatly, and all I have is yours, but my son who was lost is now found! Your brother who seemed to be dead is alive! Be happy with me!"

The '''United States of America''' ('''USA'''), also known as the '''United States''' ('''U.S.''' or '''US''') or colloquially as '''America''', is a country that is mainly in [[North America]]. It is made of [[U.S. state|50 states]], 1 federal district ([[Washington, D.C.]], the District of Columbia), and some [[Territories of the United States|other territories]] and [[Insular area|insular areas]]. Forty-eight of the states are connected ([[Contiguous United States]]), and they [[Borders of the United States|are bordered]] by [[Canada]] to the north and [[Mexico]] to the south. The state of [[Alaska]] is in the northwestern area of the continent near [[Asia]] ([[Russia]]) and is separated from the other 48 states by Canada making it an [[exclave]]. Alaska is bordered by Canada to its east. The state of [[Hawaii]] is a [[Archipelago|set of islands]] in the Pacific located within [[Polynesia]] and is about 2,200 miles (3,500 kilometers) from the continent. The [[capital city]] is Washington, D.C. and the largest city by population is [[New York City|New York]], in the [[New York (state)|State of New York]], with a population of 8.8 million people.
With a population of 340.1 million people and an area of 3.79 million square miles (9.83 million km<sup>2</sup>), the United States is the third most populated country in the world, after China and [[India]] and the fourth-largest country in the world by total area.
The land that would one day become the United States was first settled by the ancestors of the [[Native Americans|Native American Tribes]]. British colonization began in the 16th and 17th century. Several European nations set up colonies in North America, which the British and Dutch set up colonies in present-day United States.
The [[Thirteen Colonies|thirteen colonies]] of [[Kingdom of Great Britain|Great Britain]] along the [[East Coast of the United States|Atlantic coast]] declared independence as a nation on July 4, 1776. They issued the [[United States Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]], which announced their independence from Great Britain and their creation of a cooperative union.

The [[Bill of Rights]], making up ten [[List of amendments to the United States Constitution|constitutional amendments]] guaranteeing many basic civil rights and freedoms, was approved in 1791.
In the 19th century, the United States had a policy of [[manifest destiny]] where they believed that it was their right to expand across the North American continent. They conquered and took over native lands and bought territory from [[Louisiana Purchase|France]], the [[United Kingdom]], [[Mexican–American War|Mexico]], and [[Alaska Purchase|Russia]], and [[Annexation|annexed]] the [[Republic of Texas]] and Hawaii.
Political arguments over the growth of the [[Slavery in the United States|institution of slavery]] led to the [[American Civil War]]. In 1861, the southern states separated from the union and founded the [[Confederate States of America]]. The Union's victory over the Confederacy prevented a split of the country and led to the [[Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|end of legal slavery]] in the United States.

The coastal plain of the [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]] seaboard gives way further inland to [[deciduous]] forests and the rolling hills of the Piedmont. The [[Appalachian Mountains]] divide the eastern seaboard from the [[Great Lakes]] and the grasslands of the [[Midwestern United States|Midwest]]. The [[Mississippi River|Mississippi]]–[[Missouri River]], the world's fourth longest river system, runs mainly north-south through the heart of the country. The flat, fertile [[prairie]] of the [[Great Plains]] stretches to the west, interrupted by [[U.S. Interior Highlands|a highland region]] in the southeast.
The [[Rocky Mountains]], at the western edge of the Great Plains, extend north to south across the country, reaching altitudes higher than 14,000 feet (4,300 m) in [[Colorado]]. Further west is the rocky [[Great Basin]] and deserts such as the Chihuahua and [[Mojave Desert|Mojave]]. The [[Sierra Nevada (U.S.)|Sierra Nevada]] and [[Cascade Range|Cascade]] mountain ranges run close to the [[West Coast of the United States|Pacific coast]], both ranges reaching altitudes higher than 14,000 feet. The [[Alaska Range|Alaskan Range]] passes through much of [[Alaska]] and is home to [[Denali]] which stands at a height of 20,310 ft (6,190 m) above sea level and is the tallest mountain in the United States and in North America. Denali is in fact the tallest mountain in the World on land from base to summit standing at about 18,000 ft (5,490 m), which is about 4,000 ft (1,220 m) higher than [[Mount Everest]] which sits at a height of about 14,000 ft (4,270 m) from base to summit.
The United States, with its large size and geographical variety, includes most climate types. To the east of the 100th [[meridian]], the climate ranges from [[Humid continental climate|humid continental]] in the north to [[Humid subtropical climate|humid subtropical]] in the south. The southern tip of [[Florida]] is tropical, as is Hawaii. The Great Plains west of the 100th meridian are semi-dry. Much of the western mountains are [[Alpine climate|alpine]]. The climate is dry in the Great Basin, desert in the Southwest, [[Mediterranean climate|Mediterranean]] in [[coastal California]], and [[Oceanic climate|oceanic]] in coastal [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] and southern Alaska. Most of Alaska is subarctic or polar. Extreme weather is not unusual—the states bordering the [[Gulf of Mexico]] are prone to [[hurricanes]], and most of the world's [[tornado]]es happen within the country, mainly in the Midwest's [[Tornado Alley]].<ref>{{cite news|author=Perkins, Sid|date=May 11, 2002|title=Tornado Alley, USA|work=Science News|url=http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20020511/bob9.asp|url-status=dead|access-date=October 11, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070701131631/http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20020511/bob9.asp|archive-date=July 1, 2007}}</ref>

In 1492, [[Italians|Italian]] explorer [[Christopher Columbus]] from [[Genoa]], under contract to the Spanish crown, reached some Caribbean islands, making the first Contact with the native people. On April 2, 1513, Spanish [[conquistador]] [[Juan Ponce de León]] landed on what he called "[[History of Florida|La Florida]]" — the first recorded European coming on what would become the U.S. mainland. Spanish settlements in the area were followed by ones in the present-day [[southwestern United States]] that drew thousands through Mexico. French [[fur trade]]rs established outposts of [[New France]] around the [[Great Lakes]]; France eventually claimed much of the North American interior, down to the Gulf of Mexico. The first successful English settlements were the [[Colony of Virginia]] in [[Jamestown, Virginia|Jamestown]] in 1607 and the [[Pilgrim]]s' [[Plymouth Colony]] in 1620. The 1628 chartering of the [[Massachusetts Bay Colony]] resulted in a wave of relocation; by 1634, [[New England]] had been settled by some 10,000 [[Puritans]]. Between the late 1610s and the American Revolution, about 50,000 convicts were shipped to Britain's American colonies.<ref>{{cite web|year=1896|title=British Convicts Shipped to American Colonies|url=http://www.dinsdoc.com/butler-1.htm|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020602194900/http://www.dinsdoc.com/butler-1.htm|archive-date=June 2, 2002|access-date=August 16, 2019|work=American Historical Review 2|publisher=Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History}}</ref> Beginning in 1614, the Dutch settled along the lower [[Hudson River]], including [[New Amsterdam]] on [[Manhattan Island]].
=== Independence and expansion ===
{{main|American Revolution|American Revolutionary War|Manifest destiny}}
[[File:Declaration independence.jpg|thumb|''[[United States Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]]'', by [[John Trumbull]], 1817–18]]
Tensions between American colonials and the British during the [[American Revolution|rebel period]] of the 1760s and early 1770s led to the [[American Revolutionary War]], fought from 1775 through 1781. On June 14, 1775, the [[Second Continental Congress|Continental Congress]], a meeting in [[Philadelphia]], established a [[Continental Army]] led by [[George Washington]]. The Congress said that "all men are created equal" and are born with "certain [[Rights|natural rights]]," and adopted the [[Declaration of Independence]], written mostly by [[Thomas Jefferson]], on July 4, 1776. That date is now celebrated every year as America's [[Independence Day (United States)|Independence Day]]. In 1777, the [[Articles of Confederation]] established a weak federal government that operated until 1789. [[Morocco]] was the first country in the world to recognize America’s independence (As in they let American trade boats into the country).<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://allthingsliberty.com/2018/05/the-first-countries-to-diplomatically-recognize-the-united-states/ |title=The First Countries to Diplomatically Recognize the United States |date=10 May 2018 |access-date=2020-10-03 |archive-date=2020-09-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200930053341/https://allthingsliberty.com/2018/05/the-first-countries-to-diplomatically-recognize-the-united-states/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=U.S. Relations With Morocco|url=https://www.state.gov/u-s-relations-with-morocco/|access-date=25 February 2024|website=[[United States Department of State]]|language=en}}</ref>
After the [[Siege of Yorktown|British defeat]] by American forces helped by the [[France|French]], Great Britain [[Treaty of Paris (1783)|recognized the independence of the United States]] and the states' [[sovereignty]] over American land west to the [[Mississippi River]]. A [[Constitutional Convention (United States)|constitutional convention]] was organized in 1787 by people who wanted to establish a stronger national government, with powers of taxation. The [[United States Constitution]] was approved in 1788, and the new republic's [[1st United States Congress|first Senate, House of Representatives]], and [[President of the United States|President]] (George Washington) took office in 1789. The [[Bill of Rights]], forbidding federal restriction of personal freedoms and certifying a range of legal protections, was adopted in 1791.
Attitudes toward [[Slavery in the United States|slavery]] were shifting; a [[Article One of the United States Constitution#Section 9: Limits on Congress|clause in the Constitution]] protected the African slave trade only until 1808. The northern states permanently stopped slavery between 1780 and 1804, leaving the [[slave state]]s of the south as defenders of the "peculiar institution." The [[Second Great Awakening]], beginning about 1800, made [[evangelicalism]] a force behind different social [[Reform|reform movements]], including [[abolitionism]].
[[File:U.S. Territorial Acquisitions.png|thumb|Land-based purchases by date]]
Americans' eagerness to expand westward caused a long series of [[Indian Wars]] and an Indian removal policy that removed native peoples from their land. The [[Louisiana Purchase]] of French-claimed land under President Thomas Jefferson in 1803 almost doubled the nation's size. The [[War of 1812]], declared against Britain over different complaints and fought to a draw, strengthened U.S. [[nationalism]]. A series of U.S. military invasions into Florida led [[Adams–Onís Treaty|Spain to give up]] it and other Gulf Coast territory in 1819. The United States took over the [[Republic of Texas]] in 1845. The idea of [[Manifest destiny]] became popular during this time.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Slavery and the American West: The Eclipse of Manifest Destiny and the Coming of the Civil War|last=Morrison|first=Michael A.|publisher=University of North Carolina Press|year=1999|isbn=0807847968|location=Chapel Hill|pages=13–21}}</ref> The 1846 [[Oregon]] Treaty with Britain led to U.S. control of the present-day American Northwest. The U.S. victory in the [[Mexican–American War]] resulted in the 1848 [[Mexican Cession|cession]] of [[California]] and much of the present-day [[Southwestern United States|American Southwest]]. The [[California Gold Rush]] of 1848–49 further encouraged western relocation. New railways made relocation easier for settlers and increased conflicts with Native Americans. Over a half-century, up to 40 million [[American bison]], or buffalo, were killed for skins and meat and to ease the railways' spread. The loss of the buffalo, which were valuable to the [[plains Indians]], caused many native cultures to become gone forever.

Tensions between slave and [[Slave and free states|free states]] mounted with arguments over the relationship between the [[States' rights|state and federal governments]], as well as [[Bleeding Kansas|violent conflicts]] over the spread of slavery into new states. [[Abraham Lincoln]], a candidate of the antislavery [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]], was elected president in 1860. Before he took office, seven slave states declared their [[secession]] and formed the [[Confederate States of America]]. With the Confederate [[Battle of Fort Sumter|attack upon Fort Sumter]], the [[American Civil War]] began and four more slave states joined the Confederacy. Lincoln's [[Emancipation Proclamation]] committed the [[Union (American Civil War)|Union]] to end slavery. Following the Union victory in 1865, three changes to the U.S. Constitution [[Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|secured freedom]] for the nearly four million [[African Americans]] who had been slaves,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/1860a-02.pdf|title=1860 Census|publisher=U.S. Census Bureau|access-date=July 28, 2019|archive-date=August 24, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080824013501/http://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/1860a-02.pdf|url-status=live}} Page 7 lists a total slave population of 3,953,760.</ref> [[Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|made them citizens]], and [[Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|gave them voting rights]].

After the war, the [[assassination of Abraham Lincoln]] was followed by the [[Reconstruction era]], where policies were put together directed at getting back and rebuilding the Southern states while securing the rights of the newly freed slaves. The resolution of the disputed [[1876 United States presidential election|1876 presidential election]] by the [[Compromise of 1877]] ended this era, and the [[Jim Crow laws]] soon began to negatively affect many African Americans. In the North, urbanization and a never-before-seen [[Immigration|inflow of immigrants]] from [[Southern Europe|Southern]] and [[Eastern Europe]] made the country's [[industrialization]] grow rapidly. The wave of immigration, lasting until 1929, provided labor and changed American culture. High tax protections, national infrastructure building, and new banking laws also encouraged growth. The 1867 [[Alaska Purchase]] from Russia completed the country's mainland expansion. The [[Wounded Knee Massacre]] in 1890 was the last major armed conflict of the [[Indian Wars]]. In 1893, the [[Ancient Hawaii|native monarchy]] of the Pacific [[Hawaiian Kingdom|Kingdom of Hawaii]] was ended in a secret and successful plan led by American residents. The United States took over the archipelago in 1898. Victory in the [[Spanish–American War]] the same year proved that the United States was a [[world power]] and led to the addition of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the [[Philippines]]. The Philippines gained independence fifty years later. Puerto Rico and Guam are still U.S. territories.

{{main|Federal government of the United States}}
The United States is the world's oldest surviving [[federation]]. It is a [[constitutional republic]] and [[representative democracy]], "in which [[majority rule]] is tempered by [[minority rights]] protected by [[Law of the United States|law]]."<ref>Scheb, John M., and John M. Scheb II (2002). ''An Introduction to the American Legal System''. Florence, KY: Delmar, p. 6. ISBN 0-7668-2759-3.</ref> The government is controlled by a system of [[separation of powers|checks and balances]] from the [[United States Constitution]]. The constitution is the country's main legal [[document]]. There are three branches. They are the ''[[executive branch]]'', the ''[[legislative branch]]'', and the ''[[judicial branch]]''. State governments and the federal government work in very similar ways. Each state has its own executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The executive branch of a state government is led by a [[governor]], instead of a president.
=== Executive branch ===
The [[executive branch]] is the part of the government that enforces the law. Members of the [[U.S. Electoral College]] elect a [[President of the United States|president]] who is the leader of the executive branch, as well as the leader of the [[armed forces]]. The president may [[veto]] a bill that Congress has passed, so it does not become a law. The President may also make "executive orders" to ensure that people follow the law.
The president is in charge of many departments that control much of the day-to-day actions of the government. For example, the [[Department of Commerce]] makes rules about trade. The president chooses the heads of these departments and also nominates federal judges. However, the [[Senate]], part of the legislative branch, must agree with all of the people the president chooses. The president may serve two 4-year terms.
=== Legislative branch ===
[[File:USCapitol.jpg|thumb|right|The west side of the [[United States Capitol]], which is home to the [[United States Congress]]]]
The [[legislative branch]] makes laws. The legislative branch is called the [[United States Congress]]. Congress is divided into two "houses".
One house is the [[United States House of Representatives|House of Representatives]]. The Representatives are each elected by voters from set areas within the states. The number of Representatives a state has is based on how many people live there. Representatives serve two-year terms. The total number of representatives today is 435. The leader of the House of Representatives is the [[Speaker of the House]].
The other house is the [[United States Senate|Senate]]. In the Senate, each state is represented equally, by two senators. Because there are 50 states, there are 100 senators. The President's [[treaty|treaties]] or appointments of [[official]]s need the Senate's approval. Senators serve six-year terms. The Vice President of the United States serves as president of the Senate. In practice, the vice president is usually absent from the Senate, and a senator serves as president [[pro tempore]], or [[wikt:temporary|temporary]] president, of the Senate.
Representatives and senators [[proposal|propose]] laws, called "[[bill (law)|bill]]s", in their respective houses. A bill may be voted upon by the entire house right away or may first go to a small group, known as a [[committees of the United States Senate|committee]], which may recommend a bill for a vote by the whole house. If one house votes to pass a bill, the bill then gets sent to the other house; if both houses vote for it, it is then sent to the president, who may sign the bill into law or [[veto]] it. If the president vetoes the bill, it is sent back to Congress. If Congress votes again and passes the bill with at least a two-thirds [[majority]], the bill becomes law and cannot be vetoed by the president.
Under the American system of [[federalism]], Congress may not make laws that directly control the states; instead, Congress may use the promise of federal funds, or special circumstances such as national [[emergency|emergencies]], to encourage the states to follow federal law. This system is both complex and unique.
=== Judicial branch ===
The [[judicial branch]] is the part of government that interprets what the law means. The Judicial Branch is made up of the [[Supreme Court of the United States|Supreme Court]] and many lower courts. If the Supreme Court decides that a law is not allowed by [[Constitution|the Constitution]], the law is said to be "struck down" and is no longer a [[validity|valid]] law.
The Supreme Court is made up of nine [[judge]]s, called justices, who are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. One of these justices, called the [[Chief Justice of the United States|chief justice]], heads the court. A Supreme Court justice serves until he or she dies or [[resignation|resigns]]. When that happens, the president nominates someone new to replace the justice who left. If the Senate agrees with that choice, the person becomes a justice. If the Senate does not agree with the president's choice, then the president must nominate someone else.
Famous court cases such as ''[[Marbury v. Madison|Marbury v Madison]]'' (which was decided in 1803) have firmly established that the Supreme Court is the [[Interpreter|ultimate interpreter]] of the [[United States Constitution]] and has the power to strike down any law that [[conflict]]s with it.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.landmarkcases.org/marbury/home.html |title=Street Law, Inc |access-date=2008-10-14 |archive-date=2008-12-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205025613/http://www.landmarkcases.org/marbury/home.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

[[File:Political System of the United States.svg|thumb|The political system of the United States]]
The United States of America consists of [[States of the United States|50 state]]s, 5 territories, and 1 district ([[Washington D.C]].). States can make laws about things inside the state, but only federal laws can apply to more than one state or dealing with other countries. In some areas, if the federal government makes laws that say different things from the state laws, people must follow the federal law. Each state has a constitution of its own, different from the federal (national) constitution. Each of these is like the federal constitution because they say how each state's government is set up, but some also talk about specific laws.
The federal and most state governments are dominated by two [[Political party|political parties]]: the [[United States Republican Party|Republicans]] and the [[United States Democratic Party|Democrats]]. There are many smaller parties; the largest of these are the [[Libertarian Party (United States)|Libertarian Party]] and the [[Green Party (United States)|Green Party]]. People help in political [[campaign]]s that they like. They try to persuade politicians to help them; this is called [[lobbying]]. All Americans are allowed to do these things, but some have and spend more money than others, or in other ways do more in politics. Some people think this is a problem, and lobby for rules to be made to change it.
The USA's large [[Culture|cultural]], economic, and military influence has made the [[foreign policy of the United States]], or relations with other countries, a topic in American politics, and the politics of many other countries.
The [[2026 United States elections]] are scheduled for November.<ref>https://www.vg.no/nyheter/i/8pm20E/trump-om-ikke-vi-vinner-mellomvalget-blir-jeg-stilt-for-riksrett. Retrieved 2026-01-07</ref>
== Political divisions ==
{{main|U.S. state}}
=== States ===
{{see also|List of U.S. states}}
The United States [[Invasion|conquered]] and [[Purchase|bought]] new lands over time, and grew from the original 13 colonies in the east to the current 50 [[U.S. state|states]], of which 48 of them are [[Contigny|joined together]] to make up the [[Continental United States|contiguous United States]]. These states, called the "lower 48", can all be reached by [[road]] without crossing a [[border]] into another country. They go from the Atlantic to the east to the [[Pacific Coast|Pacific]] in the west. There are two other states which are not joined to the lower 48 states. [[Alaska]] can be reached by passing through [[British Columbia]] and the [[Yukon]], both of which are part of Canada. [[Hawaii]] is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
[[Washington, D.C.]], the national capital, is a [[federal district]] that was split from the states of [[Maryland]] and [[Virginia]] in 1791. Not part of any US state, it used to be in the shape of a [[square]], with the land west of the [[Potomac River]] coming from Virginia and the land east of the river coming from Maryland. In 1846, Virginia took back its part of the land. Some people living in DC want it to become a state, or for Maryland to take back its land, so that they can have the [[right to vote]] in Congress.
=== Territories and possessions ===
{{see also|Territories of the United States}}
The United States territories and possessions consist of sixteen lands that do not state, many of which are [[Colony|colonial]] [[Territory|territories]]. None of them have any land [[border]]s with the rest of the US. People live in five of these places, which are ''[[de facto]]'' American:
*[[Puerto Rico]]
*[[American Samoa]]
*[[Guam]]
*[[U.S. Virgin Islands]]
*[[Northern Mariana Islands]]
The [[Philippines]] was a [[possession]] of the United States. [[Palau]], the [[Federated States of Micronesia]], and other [[Pacific Islands|Pacific island]] nations were governed by the United States as a United Nations "Trust Territory". All of these places have become [[independence|independent]]: the Philippines in 1946, Palau in 1947, and Micronesia in 1986.
The [[U.S. armed forces]] has [[Military base|base]]s in many countries, and the [[U.S. Navy]]'s base at [[Guantanamo Bay]] was rented from [[Cuba]] after that country had a [[Communist]] revolution.
=== Counties and cities ===
{{see also|List of United States cities by population}}
All the states are divided into [[Administrative division|administrative subdivisions]]. Most of them are called [[County|counties]], but [[Louisiana]] uses the word "[[List of parishes in Louisiana|parish]]," and [[Alaska]] uses the word "[[borough]]."
There are many [[City|cities]] in the United States. One city in each state is the [[List of U.S. state capitals|state capital]], where the government of the state meets and the [[governor]] works. This city is not always the largest in its state. For example, the city with the most people living in is [[New York City]] in [[New York (state)|New York State]], but the state capital is [[Albany, New York]]. Some other big cities are [[Los Angeles]], [[California]]; [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]]; [[Seattle]], [[Washington (state)|Washington]]; [[Miami]], [[Florida]]; [[Indianapolis]], [[Indiana]]; [[Las Vegas]], [[Nevada]]; [[Houston]] and [[Dallas]], [[Texas]]; [[Philadelphia]] and [[Pittsburgh]], [[Pennsylvania]]; [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]]; [[Denver]], [[Colorado]]; [[St. Louis]], [[Missouri]], [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]], [[Tennessee]], [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], [[San Francisco]], [[California]], [[San Diego]] and [[Detroit]], [[Michigan]].

== How we will see unregistered users ==
<section begin=content/>
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].
We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you.

Hi Bsadowski1, I came across this user {{userlinks|Faris Ram}} after they recently created [[Zumrud Mirzaeva]] on en-wiki. Upon cross-checking here on simple-wiki, I noticed it was created by user {{userlinks|Umarkhan UZ}} around two weeks ago. Faris Ram also created [[Maria Dovnar]] yesterday, which was earlier created by user {{userlinks|Razetka}}. Both users were CU blocked by you. Faris Ram's last edit here was in September last year, so I'm not sure if it's still possible to run another check. However, I highly suspect he belongs to the same sockfarm. Could you please take a look? Thank you.

== Invitation to Participate in a Research Study on Simplifying and Expanding Health Articles on Wikipedia ==
Dear Bsadowski1,
We are researchers at the University of Washington conducting an interview study about health related information on the Simple English edition of Wikipedia. We hope to bridge the gap between expert-level content and the needs of the broader public, making high-quality health information more understandable and usable for everyone.We are interested in your experiences with editing health related articles and how we might improve coverage of health information in the Simple English edition.
If you are 18 years old or older and would consider letting us interview you, please complete our screening survey https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfwYZHyGgjuhq2NnPPGbv8d_jl-CndWvBC12Zljgz8sBDdWfw/viewform which will help us gather some basic information and follow up with further details. Our Wikimedia Meta project page is: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Improve_the_coverage_and_quality_of_health-related_articles_in_the_Simple_English_edition
Your participation will contribute to our understanding of how LLMs can be used to enhance the quality and accessibility of health information on Wikipedia. We would be thrilled to have your input.
Thank you for considering this invitation, and I look forward to hearing from you.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Greetings,
The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee|Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C)]] seeks candidates for the 2026 election. The U4C is the global committee responsible for overseeing enforcement of the [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]]. Elections are held annually, if elected a committee member serves for two years.
This year the U4C requires candidates to hold administrator rights on at least one wiki, which is why you are being contacted as you appear to hold this right. There are other requirements, such as candidates must be at least 18 years old and may not be employed by the Wikimedia Foundation or other related chapters and affiliates. You can find more information in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Election/2026#Call_for_Candidates|call for candidates on Meta-wiki]]. Additionally, the committee's working language is English; some ability to communicate in English is required.
The election opens on 18 May, if you are eligible and interested you have until 10 May to submit your candidacy. There will be a week in between for candidates to answer questions from the community. Voting takes place privately in [[m:Special:MyLanguage/SecurePoll|SecurePoll]], successful candidates must receive at least 60% support. More information is available on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Election/2026|the 2026 Elections page]], including timelines and other candidacy information. If you read over the material and consider yourself qualified, please consider submitting your name to run for the committee. If you think someone else in your community might be interested and qualified, please encourage them to run.

== How we will see unregistered users ==
<section begin=content/>
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].
We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you.

Hi Bsadowski1, I came across this user {{userlinks|Faris Ram}} after they recently created [[Zumrud Mirzaeva]] on en-wiki. Upon cross-checking here on simple-wiki, I noticed it was created by user {{userlinks|Umarkhan UZ}} around two weeks ago. Faris Ram also created [[Maria Dovnar]] yesterday, which was earlier created by user {{userlinks|Razetka}}. Both users were CU blocked by you. Faris Ram's last edit here was in September last year, so I'm not sure if it's still possible to run another check. However, I highly suspect he belongs to the same sockfarm. Could you please take a look? Thank you.

Dear Bsadowski1,
We are researchers at the University of Washington conducting an interview study about health related information on the Simple English edition of Wikipedia. We hope to bridge the gap between expert-level content and the needs of the broader public, making high-quality health information more understandable and usable for everyone.We are interested in your experiences with editing health related articles and how we might improve coverage of health information in the Simple English edition.
If you are 18 years old or older and would consider letting us interview you, please complete our screening survey https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfwYZHyGgjuhq2NnPPGbv8d_jl-CndWvBC12Zljgz8sBDdWfw/viewform which will help us gather some basic information and follow up with further details. Our Wikimedia Meta project page is: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Improve_the_coverage_and_quality_of_health-related_articles_in_the_Simple_English_edition
Your participation will contribute to our understanding of how LLMs can be used to enhance the quality and accessibility of health information on Wikipedia. We would be thrilled to have your input.
Thank you for considering this invitation, and I look forward to hearing from you.

You can find more information in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Election/2026#Call_for_Candidates|call for candidates on Meta-wiki]]. Additionally, the committee's working language is English; some ability to communicate in English is required.
The election opens on 18 May, if you are eligible and interested you have until 10 May to submit your candidacy. There will be a week in between for candidates to answer questions from the community. Voting takes place privately in [[m:Special:MyLanguage/SecurePoll|SecurePoll]], successful candidates must receive at least 60% support. More information is available on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Election/2026|the 2026 Elections page]], including timelines and other candidacy information.

== How we will see unregistered users ==
<section begin=content/>
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].
We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you.

Hi Bsadowski1, I came across this user {{userlinks|Faris Ram}} after they recently created [[Zumrud Mirzaeva]] on en-wiki. Upon cross-checking here on simple-wiki, I noticed it was created by user {{userlinks|Umarkhan UZ}} around two weeks ago. Faris Ram also created [[Maria Dovnar]] yesterday, which was earlier created by user {{userlinks|Razetka}}. Both users were CU blocked by you. Faris Ram's last edit here was in September last year, so I'm not sure if it's still possible to run another check. However, I highly suspect he belongs to the same sockfarm.

== Invitation to Participate in a Research Study on Simplifying and Expanding Health Articles on Wikipedia ==
Dear Bsadowski1,
We are researchers at the University of Washington conducting an interview study about health related information on the Simple English edition of Wikipedia. We hope to bridge the gap between expert-level content and the needs of the broader public, making high-quality health information more understandable and usable for everyone.We are interested in your experiences with editing health related articles and how we might improve coverage of health information in the Simple English edition.
If you are 18 years old or older and would consider letting us interview you, please complete our screening survey https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfwYZHyGgjuhq2NnPPGbv8d_jl-CndWvBC12Zljgz8sBDdWfw/viewform which will help us gather some basic information and follow up with further details. Our Wikimedia Meta project page is: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Improve_the_coverage_and_quality_of_health-related_articles_in_the_Simple_English_edition
Your participation will contribute to our understanding of how LLMs can be used to enhance the quality and accessibility of health information on Wikipedia. We would be thrilled to have your input.
Thank you for considering this invitation, and I look forward to hearing from you.

== You may be an eligible candidate for the U4C election ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Greetings,
The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee|Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C)]] seeks candidates for the 2026 election. The U4C is the global committee responsible for overseeing enforcement of the [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]]. Elections are held annually, if elected a committee member serves for two years.
This year the U4C requires candidates to hold administrator rights on at least one wiki, which is why you are being contacted as you appear to hold this right. There are other requirements, such as candidates must be at least 18 years old and may not be employed by the Wikimedia Foundation or other related chapters and affiliates. You can find more information in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Election/2026#Call_for_Candidates|call for candidates on Meta-wiki]]. Additionally, the committee's working language is English; some ability to communicate in English is required.
The election opens on 18 May, if you are eligible and interested you have until 10 May to submit your candidacy. There will be a week in between for candidates to answer questions from the community. Voting takes place privately in [[m:Special:MyLanguage/SecurePoll|SecurePoll]], successful candidates must receive at least 60% support. More information is available on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Election/2026|the 2026 Elections page]], including timelines and other candidacy information. If you read over the material and consider yourself qualified, please consider submitting your name to run for the committee. If you think someone else in your community might be interested and qualified, please encourage them to run.

== How we will see unregistered users ==
<section begin=content/>
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].
We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you.

Hi Bsadowski1, I came across this user {{userlinks|Faris Ram}} after they recently created [[Zumrud Mirzaeva]] on en-wiki. Upon cross-checking here on simple-wiki, I noticed it was created by user {{userlinks|Umarkhan UZ}} around two weeks ago. Faris Ram also created [[Maria Dovnar]] yesterday, which was earlier created by user {{userlinks|Razetka}}. Both users were CU blocked by you. Faris Ram's last edit here was in September last year, so I'm not sure if it's still possible to run another check. However, I highly suspect he belongs to the same sockfarm. Could you please take a look? Thank you.

== Invitation to Participate in a Research Study on Simplifying and Expanding Health Articles on Wikipedia ==
Dear Bsadowski1,
We are researchers at the University of Washington conducting an interview study about health related information on the Simple English edition of Wikipedia. We hope to bridge the gap between expert-level content and the needs of the broader public, making high-quality health information more understandable and usable for everyone.We are interested in your experiences with editing health related articles and how we might improve coverage of health information in the Simple English edition.
If you are 18 years old or older and would consider letting us interview you, please complete our screening survey https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfwYZHyGgjuhq2NnPPGbv8d_jl-CndWvBC12Zljgz8sBDdWfw/viewform which will help us gather some basic information and follow up with further details. Our Wikimedia Meta project page is: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Improve_the_coverage_and_quality_of_health-related_articles_in_the_Simple_English_edition
Your participation will contribute to our understanding of how LLMs can be used to enhance the quality and accessibility of health information on Wikipedia. We would be thrilled to have your input.
Thank you for considering this invitation, and I look forward to hearing from you.

'''Mannerism''' is a style of art that was created in the Late [[Renaissance]] period, from about 1520 until about 1600. The Mannerist style of [[painting]] or [[sculpture]] often shows figures that are "elongated" (made longer) and "distorted" (made into strange shapes").<ref name=White>Anthony White and Kay Sutton, ''Harrap's Illustrated Dictionary of Art and Artists'', Harrap Books Ltd., (1990) {{ISBN|0245546928}}</ref> The aim of the Mannerist artist was usually to make art that looked "elegant".<ref name=Gardner/>
The Mannerist style began in [[Italy]], where the artists were influenced by the figures that [[Michelangelo]] painted on the ceiling and in the "[[Last Judgement]]" in the [[Sistine Chapel]].<ref name=Gardner>Helen Gardner, Gardner's Art through the Ages, (1970) Harcourt, Brace and World, {{ISBN|0155037528}}</ref> During the Renaissance, artists like [[Leonardo da Vinci]] and [[Raphael]] had tried very hard to learn from nature, and to paint things in a way that was very realistic. These two famous painters both died around 1520. Many artists then decided that they were going to use the art of painting to "express themselves". They were not going to follow the rules of [[anatomy]] and [[Perspective (graphical)|perspective]] in the way that Leonardo and Raphael did.<ref name=Gardner/> Mannerist paintings are often full of figures that seem to be twisting, writhing or fighting. The faces of the figures often show strong emotions such as sadness, fear, hatred or sexual feelings.
Not all the painters who were working during the Mannerist period painted in the Mannerist style. Many artists continued to work in the style of the High Renaissance.<ref name=White/> Painters in the Mannerist style were [[Tintoretto]], Jacopo Pontormo, Agnolo Bronzino, Parmigianino and Rosso Fiorentino. Giambologna and Benvenuti Cellini were Mannerist sculptors. [[Giulio Romano]] was a Mannerist [[architect]].<ref name=Wolf>Robert Erich Wolf and Ronald Millen, ''Renaissance and Mannerist Art'', Harry N. Abrams, (1968)</ref>
Mannerism spread from Italy to [[France]], [[Germany]] and [[Spain]]. One of the most famous Mannerist painters was [[El Greco]] who worked in Spain.<ref name=Gardner/> Some other artists who worked in the Mannerist style are the French sculptor Jean Goujon, the Dutch painter Abraham Bloemaert and the German painter Bartolomeus Spranger. Possibly the strangest paintings from this time were by Giuseppe Arcimboldo who did pictures in which people's faces seem to be made from fruit, flowers, fire and even fish.<ref name=Wolf/>

{{Race}}
'''White people''' are people with light skin. Most white people are of [[Europe|European]] origin. In [[American English]], the term "Caucasian" is used to mean "white people."<ref name=":0" /> Outside of North America, it refers to people or things from the [[Caucasus Mountains]].<ref name=":0">{{Citation|last=Butterfield|first=Jeremy ButterfieldJeremy|title=Caucasian|date=2015-06-18|url=https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/acref/9780199661350.001.0001/acref-9780199661350-e-764|work=Fowler’s Dictionary of Modern English Usage|editor-last=Butterfield|editor-first=Jeremy|publisher=Oxford University Press|language=en|doi=10.1093/acref/9780199661350.001.0001|isbn=978-0-19-966135-0|access-date=2023-10-15}}</ref>
Before the modern age, Europeans did not think of themselves as "white." They defined their [[Race (biology)|race]], [[Ancestor|ancestry]] or [[Ethnic group|ethnicity]] in terms of [[nationality|what place or culture they were from]], for example [[Greek people|Greek]] or [[Ancient Rome|Roman]].<ref>{{cite book|last1= Painter|first1= Nell Irvin|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=F-GFUyty3SAC&q=The+History+of+White+People|title= The History of White People|date= 18 April 2011|publisher= W. W. Norton & Company|isbn= 978-0-393-07949-4}}</ref>
The idea of a single white race came into use starting in the 17th century. The term white was invented during American slavery to make European Americans seem different from enslaved [[African Americans|African American]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/race/000_About/002_04-background-02-09.htm|title=The Origin of the Idea of Race|website=[[PBS]] |access-date=2024-04-19|archive-date=2016-04-13|archive-url=https://archive.today/20160413173026/http://www.pbs.org/race/000_About/002_04-background-02-09.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://nmaahc.si.edu/learn/talking-about-race/topics/historical-foundations-race|title= Historical Foundations of Race}}</ref> The people who were the strongest supporters of the white race being [[White supremacy|supreme]] in 20th century Europe were [[Fascism|fascist]] [[Italy]] and [[Nazi Germany]]. They felt that some European peoples such as [[Slavs]] as a different race even though they were white. This was just for [[Politics|political]] purposes.

'''Vitoria-Gasteiz''' is the capital of the [[Basque Country (autonomous community)|Basque Country]]. It is in the north of [[Spain]] and was a little town until 1950. Since 1950 the city has changed a lot because of important industrialization.
The official name of the city is Vitoria-Gasteiz. People usually call it simply Vitoria or Gasteiz. In [[Basque language|Basque]] it is called Gasteiz, and some Basque speakers call it Vitorixe.
[[File:El Caminante (Eguizabal).jpg|right|thumb|The Walker, one of the city's most well-known symbols]]
==Population==
In 2010, Vitoria-Gasteiz had a population of more or less 240,000. Between 1960 and 1970, the city grew quickly as people arrived to work at the new and great industrial companies. Statistics say the population doubled between these dates, and this is the motive for a great transformation, not only demographic but social.
Later, in 1980, Vitoria-Gasteiz was named the [[Basque Country]] [[Capital (city)|capital]], and the new public institutions, the Basque Government and Basque Parliament were located in Vitoria. This was an important impetus for the tertiary sector. This, together with the great industrial firms were responsible for a big social change in the city.
There has been another change in the population as people have come from other countries in recent years to work in building and industry. This happened later in Vitoria-Gasteiz and the Basque Country than in other areas. Today, non-EU ([[European Union]]) newcomers form 5.8% of the population in Vitoria-Gasteiz, 5% in Araba and 3.4% in the Basque Country. The main motive why Vitoria-Gasteiz has more of these [[immigrants]] is because recently there was a lot of jobs in building, a sector where Basque people won't work.
The inhabitants in Vitoria-Gasteiz live in [[apartment]]s, and there are not many [[House#Detached house|detached houses]] like in other towns in Europe. There are nice [[neighbourhood]]s, some with big squares, trees and parks where young people and families with children live, and other older neighbourhoods with beautiful and narrow [[street]]s and where older people walk.
==Industrialization==
Vitoria-Gasteiz became an industrial city in the second half of the twentieth century. There had been some companies already. For example, Bartolome Riego set up a printing press in the town for the first time in 1722.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.vitoria-gasteiz.org/we027/http/html/en/0102.shtml | title=''A little bit of history...'' | publisher=Vitoria-Gasteiz Council | accessdate=December 22, 2010 | archive-date=April 15, 2009 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090415161617/http://www.vitoria-gasteiz.org/we027/http/html/en/0102.shtml | url-status=dead }}</ref>
Industries began on the outskirts of the city, away from the centre, special areas for making objects. Companies from Biscay (Bizkaia) and [[Gipuzkoa]] moved to Vitoria because land was cheaper there. Between 1950 and 1977, 833 companies started in the city.
The largest effects of this was that the city grew quickly, with many immigrants and a mixture of cultures. Between 1950 and 1975 the population grew from 53,000 to 173,000.{{Fact|date=January 2012}} In 1975, only 41.8% of the population had been born in the city.{{Fact|date=January 2012}}
==History==
===Medieval origins===
Vitoria-Gasteiz is a very old city. It was founded in 1180 by the Navarrese King Sancho VI, who conquered the small hill village of Gasteiz and decided to call it New Victoria.
Only nineteen years later the city fell into the hands Castille´s King Alfonso VIII. The new king enlarged the city with three new streets on the west side of the hill. (Correría, Zapatería, Herrería)
In 1202 a terrible fire almost destroyed the town.
The city prospered quickly it was on the shortest way between the Court of Castille and northern Europe.
===Between the 15th and 18th centuries ===
In 1443 another terrible fire affected the western part of the city.
After that, new houses had to be built of stone and adobe.
In 1492 the expulsion of Jews had an negative impact and caused a long period of decline.
===19th century===
In this century the customs house was moved from Vitoria to the coast, seriously affecting the local economy. However, the effect was softened with the development of the services sector. In 1813 Spanish forces with their allies defeated France in the Battle of Vitoria, ending the French invasion.
===20th century===
With the turn of the century come the first modern factories. They were small family businesses. Now there are also multinationals, for example Mercedes Benz and Michelin.
Between 1950 and 1975 the city tripled its population and new districts were built.
In 1980 the Basque Parliament chose Vitoria-Gasteiz as the capital of the Basque Country.
===21st century===
The city is characterized as green and sustainable.
We could define the current Vitoria-Gasteiz as a city designed and planned to live in.
==Buildings==
[[File:Ajuria Enea.jpg|thumb|Ajuria Enea, the lehendakari (president)'s residence]]
Vitoria-Gasteiz has several important buildings. Its medieval quarter is in the highest part of the city.
Its streets are narrow. There are several historic houses : Montehermoso, Villasuso, Escoriaza, Esquíbel, etc. There are also the [[Archaeology]] and Card [[Museum]]s.
Other buildings are the Cordon House, and the Portalon, where there is a famous restaurant.
In Senda Avenue is Ajuria-Enea, the house of the President of the Basque Country.
Opposite it is the Ruiz de Austri Palace, now the Fine [[Art museum|Art Gallery]].
The [[Architect]] Olaguibel designed the Arquillos building, the most important in the City.
==Environment==
Vitoria - Gasteiz will be European Green Capital in 2012. The European Green Capital Conference in Stockholm gave the award to Vitoria on 21 October 2011; Other cities competed, for example Barcelona, Malmo, Nantes, Nuremberg and Reykjavik. In the end Vitoria, the second smallest city, was champion.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://ec.europa.eu/environment/europeangreencapital/green_cities_submenu/awardwinner_2012.html | title=''Vitoria-Gasteiz – European Green Capital 2012 '' | publisher= European Commission | accessdate=January 2, 2010 }}</ref>
Vitoria has a green ring around the city, with more than 11000 hectares (27,000 acres) of trees and different species of animals. There is also over 160km of tracks for walking and cycing.
Water usage is another reason why Gasteiz won the award, because it is one the cities of Europe than wastes less water - only 10%, and its inhabitants are reasonable consumers. Other towns lose 50%. 25% of domestic rubbish is recycled, but it is possible to improve.
It is true that a lot of inhabitants use public transport (trams and buses) and bike to move in the city but there are too many people who use cars.
The prize is very important for the city because its population has been working on improving its environment for the last 30 years. With the green capital prize the environment is the future for Vitoria and its inhabitants.

[[File:The Hun leader Atilla, 470 AD.jpg|thumb|upright|470 AD, portrait of Attila, drawn by Marina the Monk.<ref>[https://www.onaltiyildiz.com/?haber,1376 Historical documents of Hungary]</ref>]]
'''Attila''', or '''Attila the Hun''' (406-453), was a leader of the [[Huns]] from 434 [[CE|AD]] until he died in 453 AD. He was one of the most common ruler.
Attila led the [[Hunnic Empire]], and was known as a feared military commander. He invaded [[Gaul]], and nearly captured the city of Aurelianum. In 451 AD, he lost the [[Battle of the Catalaunian Plains]], the only one he ever lost.<ref>[http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/42236/Attila/466/Invasion-of-Gaul Article on Britannica].</ref> He also invaded [[Italy]] and attacked and looted several towns.
Attila died in 453. The traditional account of his death is that it happened the night after his marriage to a woman named Ildiko. The Huns declined in the years immediately after Attila's death.

The '''Second Battle of El Alamein''' was a great turning point in the [[Western Desert Campaign]] of the [[Second World War]]. The battle lasted from 23 October to 5 November 1942. The [[First Battle of El Alamein]] had stopped the [[Axis powers|Axis]] from attacking deep into [[Egypt]] further. Thereafter, [[Lieutenant general|Lieutenant-General]] [[Bernard Montgomery]] took command of the British Eighth Army in August 1942. In the second battle he took the [[Offensive (military)|offensive]], with great success.
The Allied victory turned the tide of the [[North African Campaign]]. It ended [[Axis countries|Axis]]' hopes of occupying Egypt, taking control of the [[Suez Canal]], and reaching the [[Middle East]]ern [[oil field]]s.
The battle forced [[Erwin Rommel]] and his [[Afrika Korps]] to retreat back to the former French fortifications in the Mareth Line in the border between [[Tunisia]] and [[Libya]].

After 1919, titles of nobility were formally abolished in Austria, thus in official use the "von" disappeared before Habsburg. The same applied after Habsburg became a German citizen (see ''Printausgabe der deutschen Wochenzeitung die Zeit'' of 21 July 2011, p. 36). By courtesy, he would also be referred to by the European royal and princely courts by his former style and title, i.e. as ''His Imperial and Royal Highness Archduke Otto of Austria''. In the Austrian republic the authorities referred to him from 1919 as Otto Habsburg-Lothringen, a name he never used himself. Otto did not live in Austria after 1919, and his citizenship there was revoked by Adolf Hitler in 1941, making him stateless. His Austrian citizenship was only restored in 1965. Otto later became a citizen of Germany (in 1978) and Croatia (in 1990) and was issued passports of these countries, where his official name was ''Otto von Habsburg''.

'''Ronald Joseph Radke''' (born December 15, 1983) is a [[Euro Indigenous|Euro-Indigenous]] [[United States|American]] [[singer]]. He was the founder and singer in the band [[Escape the Fate]] from 2004 to 2008. As of December 2008, he is the founder and singer in the band [[Falling in Reverse]].
== History ==
{{Unreferenced section|date=June 2023}}
Ronald Joseph Radke was born on December 15, 1983 at Saint Rose Hospital, Las Vegas, Nevada. Is of [[European Americans|European-American]] and [[Native American|Native-American]] heritage. His mother left him at a very young age, but later in life he was able to meet her. She was working as a dog groomer at this point. She ended up leaving him again due to her troubles with addiction. He was raised by his father who also had a drug problem but later became a born again Christian, and sober. Around this time his father also became the president of a motorcycle club.
Radke grew up very poor. Focusing was a struggle for him during school. He often wore girls' jeans with his friend Mich because his favorite skateboarders wore similar clothes. Ronald has stated that he got them mostly from girls' houses.
He learned to skateboard, and he can still ride to this day. In high school, he was bullied by the kids for his unique style of wearing tight clothes and very small shirts. Despite this he also got along with some of his classmates because of his interest in rapping. Radke dropped out of [[high school]] twice.
Radke started forming bands during his high school years. His first band was called 3.0. The logo of this band was made in Microsoft Paint and resembled the Ninja Turtles logo. His second band, named Lefty (with Robert Ortiz), competed in the high school talent contest. While on stage, Radke's microphone fell and Max Green (who was in a band called Almost Heroes at the time) picked it up for him and they almost instantly became friends. Together, they formed a band called True Story. Their interest shifted out of the pop punk scene and got into bands like Trice. Radke started playing [[piano]] and guitar. He played left-handed guitar, but still played a normal right-handed guitar when he played Blink 182 songs. At age 21, Radke along with Max Green founded the band [[Escape the Fate]]. He made two [[albums]] with the band and two EPs. The more popular was ''Dying Is Your Latest Fashion'', it was released September 26, 2006. In late 2008 Radke left Escape the Fate. Radke then founded the band [[Falling in Reverse]] and continues to make music. He has several lead singles from the album ''The Drug In Me is You'' released.

'''Line notation''' is a [[text]]-[[wikt:based|based]] [[notation]] system using [[ASCII]] [[Character (computing)|characters,]] where an entire chemical structure is written in a sequence of characters on a single line. It is most often used for [[IUPAC nomenclature|chemical nomenclature]].
Line notation allows for [[Computer|computers]] to quickly understand what chemicals are being represented. The computer converts the strings into [[2D|two-dimensional]] or [[3D|three-dimensional]] drawings of [[Molecule|molecules]].
Line notation can also be a word and symbol [[description]] of an [[electrochemical cell]] used in [[chemistry]].

The Jats are a diverse community in the [[Indian subcontinent]], ranging from simple landowning [[Peasant|peasants]] to wealthy and influential Zamindars.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Migrations in medieval and early colonial India|last=Ramaswamy|first=Vijaya|date=2016|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-138-48854-0|location=London}} <q>Out of the 45 parganas of the sarkars of Delhi, 17 are reported to have Jat Zamindars.

The origin of Jats is heavily disputed.

Although the Jats had far more boats than Mahmud, their fleet was set ablaze and destroyed. |archive-date=11 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240511080711/https://books.google.com/books?id=7eiWDwAAQBAJ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>Al-Biruni, India:Translated by Kayamuddin, Published by National Book Trust, India, 1997 page-176</ref>

[[File:Qila Mubarak.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Main entrance of Qila Mubarak. The Palace fort was built in 1763 by Ala Singh. The present day palace was rebuilt by his grandson Maharaja Amar Singh between 1765-1782.]]
'''Patiala''' was a [[princely state]] that lasted from 1714 to 1948. Its rulers were descended from a a King named Phul (1627-1689) who was a Sidhu Sikh from Mehraj village of Bathinda District of [[Punjab region|Punjab]]. The other Sikh states, such as [[Jind State|Jind]] and Nabha, were also the descendants of Phul. Its capital was in the Malva region of Punjab, but its territory expanded from Bathinda to present-day Mohali. They were known as the Phulkian (Patiala) Dynasty.
The House of Phul, was a Sikh of Sidhu Clan, belonging to the Malva Region of Punjab. Their ancestors had converted to Sikhism in the early 1600s. They claim to be the descendants from the sidhu jats, who ruled in the 11th century. The migrated to the Malva region of Punjab, establishing themselves at present day Bathinda District of Punjab.
The Sidhus and the Bhullars of the Bathinda district, never got along with each other, They were at war. But later Nanu Bhullar, got his daughter married in the house of these Sidhus, the ancestors of the Patiala State.
They were known as the Phulkian (Patiala) Dynasty. Ahmed Shah Abdali, Afghan Ruler and Maharaja Ala Singh became friends, the Sikh Chieftains of Punjab did not Like this so the Dal Khalsa met at Akal Takhat in Amritsar in 1765, in which it was decided that Patiala should be kicked out of the Dal Khalsa. And it will not be part of the 12 Sikh Confederacies, it was also the year when Ala Singh died and his son Amar Singh had become the next ruler. Ahmed Shah Abdali, bestowed upon Maharajah Amar Singh, the title of Raja-i-Rajgan, and he also was allowed to strike his own coins. But the Sikh Nation was not to happy about this, and in years to come they the Phulkians would be traitors to the Khalsa Panth, and helping the British to attack the Sikh interior of Punjab.
Even when Sardar Hari Singh Dhillon (r.1746-1764), the Sikh Bhangi Misl Maharaja of Amritsar, Tarn Taran Sahib and Lahore, found out about Ahmed Shah Abdali being in the Patiala Kingdom, he marched with a big army of dashing looking Sikh soldiers from the Majha, where the holy city of Amritsar is located, on Patiala Kingdom to chase the Ahmed Shah away, but on the way he was killed, by someone. Years later his younger son Sardar Ganda Singh Dhillon (d. 1776), the Maharajah of Lahore and Amritsar, married of his daughter Bibi Rattan Kaur, to Maharajah Sahib Singh of Patiala in 1787, the marriage took place at Amritsar. Five years later he remarried Bibi As kaur, the daughter of Sardar Gurdas Singh Chatha. It is As kaur, who's Sons and Grandsons ruled on.
From 1809-1947, the Phulkian State, had good relations with the British Government, the Patiala State, royal family, were not Orthodox Sikhs, but very secular/mixed rulers. Very mixed with the [[East India Company]]. A time when the Sikh Kingdoms did not like British, visiting their Land, Patiala, was the first to call the British, In his territory. The later royal family became Congress, an Indian party, after the break up of Dynasty.
== Rajasthani Paintings within Patiala ==
Patiala State, was different from other Sikh States, as it did not support Sikh religion, and not following the Sikh rules. But still the State religion was Sikhism. The Later Patiala Maharajahs (Karam Singh) introduced Hindu Paintings of Hindu Gods within their Qila Mubarak palace in Patiala, it can still be seen, on the Palace Walls. Showing great respect to all religions. Rajput Hindu Paintings were very famous in Patiala from 1800s, The Maharajahs got them selves painted in Rajput Styles. And even had relations with the Royal Hindu States of [[Rajasthan]].
== Relations with other States ==
They also had relationship with the Hindu Jat Rulers of Royal Bharatpur State in Rajasthan of Sinsinwar Clan. As Maharajah Narinder Singh, in 1859, married of his third daughter Maharani Bishan Kaur, to Rajah Jaswant Singh, (1851-1893), Jat ruler of Bharatpur State. Intermarriage between the Phulkian Jatts, and Rajasthani Royal Hindu Jatts, was very common, During the 19th Century.

For this article to say "Today, all three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) say that there is only one god," is not accurate, and is a false doctrine that caused the great persecution when Rome threw the Gods and Lords into the lion's dens and gladiator's rings of Rome. In English it says, "I said, you are Gods, sons of the Highest of all!" Psalm 82:6 Jesus also said the same in John 10:34-36. The ten commandments say that we are to have no other God before Yahweh because there are other Gods, there is only one Yahweh, but many Gods and Lords.
“Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is Yahweh's your God, and the earth with all that therein too. Only Yahweh had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day. Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. For Yahweh your God is God of Gods, and Lord of Lords, eldest God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regards not persons, nor takes reward. He does execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loves the foreigner, in giving him food and raiment. Love you therefore the foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. You shall fear Yahweh your God, him shall you serve, and to him shall you cleave, and swear by his name.”
Deuteronomy 10:14-20

I've never seen such contentious wording in a WP article before. [[User:Downstrike|Downstrike]] ([[User talk:Downstrike|talk]]) 02:39, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
:Seems like most of the problematic text was introduced in a single edit by another editor. I have reverted the article to an earlier version.

== Vatican Word ==
Why is the word '''"Vatican"''' bolded and in quotes? [[User:KevinTernes|KevinTernes]] ([[User talk:KevinTernes|talk]]) 01:48, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
== Length ==
The article seems to be too long, especially some bullet points in the lower part of the article, which should have been better summarised and shortened to a readable extent for readers on this site. I guess those who are experts can have a look.[[User:Steven1991|Steven1991]] ([[User talk:Steven1991|talk]]) 16:03, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
:@[[User:Steven1991|Steven1991]] Agreed, I've tagged the article so hopefully that will get some eyes on it, My only solution would be to gut the entire article but I can't help but think it wouldn't be entirely helpful for this particular article as it's not full of crap - just overdetailed stuff really, –[[User:Davey2010|<span style="color: blue;">'''Davey'''</span><span style="color: orange;">'''2010'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Davey2010|<span style="color: navy;">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sup> 16:19, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

{{subst:Pgapropose|Olivia Rodrigo|The article has been a GA for over a year and since then it has been worked on by other editors and kept up to date. The article is still well sourced with up to date sources and is still rather simple. I've done some light simplification work from what I could see. There's no redlinks and some of the tricky words (few in my opinion) have been linked ti wikitionary or have blue links directing them to articles here. The article is fleshed out and covers the subject in great detail. Here's a run through of the requirements for an article to be a very good article:
* The article must be about a subject that belongs in Wikipedia. There is no use improving articles that do not belong here, and better fit another wiki, like Wikibooks, Wikispecies, Wiktionary, etc. {{tick}}
* The article must be comprehensive. A comprehensive article is one which does not miss any major facts and details. {{tick}}
* The article should be several kilobytes long, not including infoboxes, images, references, other websites, interwiki, and categories. However, this is not a strict rule. {{tick}}
* The article must have gone through a few revisions, possibly by different editors. No one writes perfect articles. {{tick}}
* The article must be placed in the appropriate category. It must have at least one interwiki link. {{tick}}
* The article should be stable. It should not have many recent big changes or any current change wars. {{tick}} ''(note: recently there hasn't been any change wars, just vandal reverts)''
* All important terms should be linked and there must be no red links left. Red links point to articles that do not exist yet. Usually the important word or phrase is only linked the first time it occurs. {{tick}}
* If there are any illustrations, they must be related to the article. They must also be properly labelled. {{tick}}
* There must be no templates pointing to the fact that the article needs improvement. These templates include <nowiki>{{complex}}, {{cleanup}}, {{stub}}, {{unreferenced}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{wikify}}</nowiki>. The article also should not need them. {{tick}}
* Content that is from books, journal articles or other publications needs to be referenced. This can either be done with <nowiki><ref>..</ref><references/></nowiki> tags, or as a list of publications. For articles that have references or external links on the English Wikipedia, there must be at least one in the Simple English article as well. {{tick}}
I am always open for feedback and ways to improve the article of VGA status. As stated, I've simplified the article over the years an done my best to link/simplify complex words but if there's any suggestions to simplify the article further, please let me know as I value all your feedback :) Thank you for your consideration. --~~~~}}

==Early life==
Born and raised in [[Brussels]], his father enrolled him in a [[Shotokan]] [[karate]] school at the age of ten, which led Van Damme to earn his black belt in [[karate]] at the age of eighteen, and the rank of 2nd-[[Dan (rank)|dan]] black belt.<ref>https://screenrant.com/jean-claude-van-damme-fighting-martial-arts-style/#:~:text=Jean%2DClaude%20Van%20Damme%20has,the%20time%20he%20was%2018.</ref><ref>[http://www.jeanclaudevandamme.net/articles.htm Karate black belt] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060405094621/http://www.jeanclaudevandamme.net/articles.htm |date=5 April 2006 }}</ref><ref>https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jean-claude-van-damme-earned-film-role-knocking-martial-artist.html/</ref> He competed in several karate and [[kickboxing]] competitions, and was a member of the [[Belgium]] Karate Team when it won the European Karate Championship on 26 December 1979.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://movieweb.com/jean-claude-van-damme-real-martial-artist-black-belt/ | title=How Jean-Claude van Damme Became a Real Martial Artist and Black Belt | date=13 March 2023 }}</ref><ref name=StarSystem1>[http://www.starsystemkickboxing.net/Pages/JeanClaudeVanDamme.aspx "Standardized Tournaments And Ratings System Historic Kickboxing Ring Records"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120801014538/http://www.starsystemkickboxing.net/Pages/JeanClaudeVanDamme.aspx |date=1 August 2012 }}.

==Acting career==
With the desire of becoming an actor, he moved to the [[United States]] in 1982, where he worked on several films, until he got his break as the lead in the martial arts film ''Bloodsport'' (1988). The film introduced his trademark splits and spinning 360˚ heel kick to an American audience.<ref>https://www.coachweb.com/exercises/celebrity-workouts/2116/jean-claude-van-damme-expendables-2-interview</ref> Van Damme became a popular action film star and followed up with commercially successful films such as ''[[Cyborg (film)|Cyborg]]'' (1989), ''Kickboxer'' (1989), ''Lionheart'' (1990), ''Death Warrant'' (1990), ''[[Double Impact]]'' (1991), ''Universal Soldier'' (1992), ''Nowhere to Run'' (1993), ''Hard Target'' (1993), ''[[Timecop]]'' (1994), ''[[Street Fighter (1994 film)|Street Fighter]]'' (1994), ''Sudden Death'' (1995), ''The Quest'' (1996), which marked his [[Film director|directorial]] debut, and ''Maximum Risk'' (1996). At the height of his career, he was one of the biggest action movie stars in the world, and one of the most successful martial arts actors of the 1980s and 1990s, alongside [[Steven Seagal]].<ref>https://www.thethings.com/jean-claude-van-damme-affair-with-kylie-minogue/</ref><ref>https://movieweb.com/jcvd-vs-seagal-better-career/</ref>
Van Damme was also considered a [[sex symbol]].<ref>https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jean-claude-van-damme-get_b_141745/amp</ref><ref>https://brightside.me/articles/former-sex-symbol-jean-claude-van-damme-has-posted-a-topless-pic-of-him-at-62-that-is-nothing-but-hot-815507/</ref>
During the late 1990s and early 2000s, his popularity declined. He mostly appeared in limited theatrical releases or direct-to-video films. During this time, he starred in ''Replicant'' (2001), for which he was nominated for a Video Premiere Award for Best Actor. The film is considered the best outing from within Van Damme's direct-to-video career.<ref>https://readfilm.co/2018/02/16/obscure-movie-villains-torch-replicant/amp/</ref> He returned to prominence with the critically acclaimed crime drama ''JCVD'' (2008). After ''JCVD'', he began mixing things up, starring in comedies, and voicing kids animations, all the while keeping the action going.<ref name="hollywoodreporter.com">https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/jean-claude-van-damme-interview-darkness-of-man-1235253293/</ref> His big return to the action genre was in ''[[The Expendables 2]]'' (2012), in which he starred as the villain, opposite Sylvester Stallone.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.mtv.com/news/gpfv7m/jean-claude-van-damme-expendables-2-interview |title=Archived copy |website=[[MTV]] |access-date=2024-02-23 |archive-date=2024-04-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240405001953/https://www.mtv.com/news/gpfv7m/jean-claude-van-damme-expendables-2-interview |url-status=dead }}</ref> From thereon Van Damme continued starring in action films and doing extensive voice work.

Van Damme achieved [[sex symbol]] status through publicity venues in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Unlike his major rivals in action film, such as [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]], [[Sylvester Stallone]], Steven Seagal, and [[Bruce Willis]], Van Damme was nominated by the ''[[National Enquirer]]'' as number one on their "Top Ten Sexiest Men in the World" list, being the only action film star listed.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ttxW9ZoE7mwC&dq=Van+Damme+produced+himself+as+an+erotically+charged+persona+and+achieved+sex+symbol+status+through+publicity+venues+in+the+late+1980s+and+early+1990s&pg=PA39 | title=Detecting Men: Masculinity and the Hollywood Detective Film | isbn=978-0-7914-8138-7 | last1=Gates | first1=Philippa | date=February 2012 | publisher=State University of New York Press }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jean-claude-van-damme-get_b_141745|title=Jean-Claude Van Damme Gets "Raw" in JCVD|date=December 7, 2008|website=HuffPost}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://brightside.me/articles/former-sex-symbol-jean-claude-van-damme-has-posted-a-topless-pic-of-him-at-62-that-is-nothing-but-hot-815507/|title=Former Sex Symbol Jean-Claude Van Damme Has Posted a Topless Pic of Him at 62 That Is Nothing but Hot|date=September 28, 2023|website=Bright Side — Inspiration.

'''Electronic [[waste]]''' or '''e-waste''' are electronics that have been discarded. This includes any electronics e.g., computers, power tools etc.
E-waste is a concern for every country in the 21st century. Over time, people throw away their old devices, either due to their technology breaking down and becoming unusable, or due to advances in technology causing people to buy new. This creates a large amount of e-waste, some of which can still be used and others that are unusable. Some countries have e-waste [[recycling]] companies and e-waste recycling programs to ensure proper disposal of electronic devices. Due to the way electronics are made, there are some parts that can be reused if disposed of properly. However, many people do not recycle their electronics properly, and toxic substances from those electronics can enter the [[environment]] when not disposed of correctly.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Electronic waste (e-waste)|url=https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/electronic-waste-(e-waste)|access-date=2025-08-25|website=www.who.int|language=en}}</ref>
Adding up the billions of computer users in the world, over 30 million tons of e-waste is created nearly every year.

'''Russell's paradox''' is a [[paradox]] in [[naive set theory]] that is named after [[Bertrand Russell]], who described it in 1901. German mathematician [[Ernst Zermelo]] discovered it in 1898 but did not publish the idea. The paradox highlights some problems that set theory had at the time. When [[Georg Cantor]] developed the theory in the 1880s, he already suspected that his theory would lead to such problems.
The paradox is described as follows: Consider a set. This set contains ''all'' sets which do not contain themselves. Because this set is also a set, it must be considered whether or not this set contains itself. If it does not, then it is eligible to be placed in itself. If it does, then it should not be included. Thus, a paradox is observed.
This paradox, stemming from a simple set definition, exposed a flaw in set theory and led mathematicians to introduce restrictions on set creation, as described in [[axiomatic set theory]].
About 20 years later, Russell came up with the [[Barber paradox]], which is a way of describing the same problem in a different way. The Barber paradox says: "Suppose there is a barber who shaves all adult men who do not shave themselves." In this case, answering the question of whether the barber shaves himself is impossible. If he does, then he would not, because he "shaves all men who do not shave themselves." Similarly, if he does not, then he would. This leads to a paradox.
== Informal presentation ==
Most sets are not members of themselves. A set is "normal" if it is not a member of itself. A set is "abnormal" if it is a member of itself.
Every set must be either normal or abnormal.
'''Example 1:''' The set of all squares on a flat plane. This set is not itself a square, so it is not inside itself. That means it is a '''normal''' set.
'''Example 2:''' the set of everything that is ''not'' a square on the plane. This set is not a square either, so it belongs to itself. That makes it an '''abnormal''' set.
Now think about the set of all normal sets ''and call it: R''.
We ask: Is ''R normal or is it abnormal?''
* If ''R is normal: then it should be a inside the set of all normal sets - which means inside itself. But that would make it abnormal''
* if ''R is abnormal: then its not inside the set of all normal sets - which means not inside itself. But that would make it normal''
So ''R would have to be both normal and abnormal, which would be impossible. This contradiction is called for Russels paradox.''

'''Kaira''' ({{lang-tr|Kayra}}; [[Altai language|Altai]]: ''Кайра'', {{lang-ota|كايرا}}) is the supreme Deity, king of the [[Deity|gods]], and ruler of the universe in [[Turkic peoples|Turkic]] and Altai [[Mythology|mythologies]]. He is the god of [[Creation myth|creation]] and the creator of heaven, earth, and everything. In Turkic beliefs, Kaira is described as possessing androgynous qualities and is often called both Father and Mother.
Kaira sits on the 17th floor of the heavens and determines the [[fate]] of the universe. His role is synonymous with the older sky god [[Tengri]], whose relationship with Kaira varies as either father and son, manifestation, or outright synonymous. He created the other gods and existed before the creation of the universe. He planted a tree with nine boughes.<ref>Türk Mitolojisi Ansiklopedik Sözlük, Celal Beydili, Yurt Yayınevi (Page-305, Kayrakan)</ref> This tree connects the sky and earth, and nine human [[Race (sociology)|races]] are descended from the tree. His sons are ''[[Ulgan]]'', ''Kyzaghan'' and ''Mergen''.<ref>Türk Söylence Sözlüğü (Turkish Mythology Dictionary), Deniz Karakurt, Language: Turkish</ref>
In ancient Turkic beliefs, Kaira is a white [[goose]] that flies over an endless water. Ak Ana (Holy Mother) appears and tells him to create. Kaira is also described as omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent; He is the most powerful Deity and reigns above all other gods.
The word (Kaira) means [[wikt:gracious|gracious]] or [[wikt:benevolent|benevolent]].

The [[:wikt:title|title]] of '''Tsarevich of Russia'''{{efn|Sometimes written in other languages as ''Cesarevich'' or ''Caesarevich''}} was traditionally used by the [[heir apparent]] or [[heir presumptive]] in the [[Russian Empire]]. The title was used with the [[:wikt:style|style]] ''[[Imperial Highness]]''. The title was usually only used by males due to females being prevented from succeeding the [[throne]] after [[Catherine the Great]].
== Usage ==
It is often confused with "tsarevich", which is the title for any son of a [[tsar]].<ref name="dimitry">{{cite journal|last=Macedonsky|first=Dimitry|date=June 2005|title=Hail, Son of Caesar! A Titular History of Romanov Scions|journal=European Royal History Journal|publisher=Arturo E. Beeche|volume=8.3|issue=XLV|pages=19–27}}</ref> Normally, there was only one ''tsesarevich'' at a time (an exception was Grand Duke [[Constantine Pavlovich]], who was accorded the title until death, even though law gave it to his nephew), and the title was used exclusively in Russia.
The title came to be used together with the formal style "[[:wikt:Successor|successor]]" (''Naslednik''), as in "His Imperial Highness the Successor Tsesarevich and Grand Duke". The wife of the ''Tsesarevich'' was the '''Tsesarevna'''.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia| title = Cesarevich| encyclopedia = LoveToKnow Free Online Encyclopedia| url = http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Cesarevich| accessdate = 2006-10-26 }}</ref>
==Examples==
*[[Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich of Russia|''His Imperial Highness'' Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich of Russia, Grand Duke of Russia]]. He used the title all his life. He never succeeded his father and was murdered in [[1918]].
*[[Nicholas II of Russia|''His Imperial Highness'' Tsarevich Nicholas]]. He used the title from 1868 till the death of his father in 1894. The future Nicholas II of Russia. He was the last [[Russia|Russian]] Tsar.
*[[Tsarevich Alexei Petrovich of Russia]], son and heir of [[Peter I of Russia|Peter the Great]] who never succeeded.

==Early life and political career==
[[File:Mahathir Mohamad in his schooldays, 1939.jpg|150px|left|thumb|Mahathir in his schooldays, 1939]]
Mahathir born on 10 July 1925, in [[Alor Setar]], [[Kedah]],<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-07-10|title=Turning 96, Dr Mahathir prays Malaysia will be developed by all parties|url=https://www.astroawani.com/berita-malaysia/turning-96-dr-mahathir-prays-malaysia-will-be-developed-all-parties-307764|access-date=|website=www.astroawani.com}}{{Dead link|date=March 2026 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> became politically active after [[World War II]]. He protested against the Malayan Union's decision to grant citizenship to non-Malays.
Mahathir excelled in his studies and became a medical doctor. He joined UMNO (United Malays National Organisation) and entered Parliament in 1964. After serving one term, he lost his seat and was expelled from UMNO due to disagreements with Prime Minister [[Tunku Abdul Rahman]].
During his time away from mainstream politics, Mahathir wrote his first book, ''[[The Malay Dilemma]]'', advocating for affirmative action for Malays in education and society. The book criticized the government led by Tunku Abdul Rahman and was banned upon publication.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Kamm|first=Henry|last2=Times|first2=Special To the New York|date=1981-08-26|title=MALAYSIA ENDS BAN ON PREMIER'S BOOK|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/26/world/malaysia-ends-ban-on-premier-s-book.html|access-date=|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

Mahathir returned to UMNO and Parliament after Tunku Abdul Rahman resigned. He was appointed to the Cabinet and became Deputy Prime Minister by 1976. In 1981, Mahathir was sworn in as Malaysia's Prime Minister, a position he held for over two decades.

==First term as prime minister (1981-2003)==
[[File:Mahathir 1984.jpg|thumb|centre|Mahathir visited the [[United States]] in 1984 on an official trip]]
Mahathir became Prime Minister on July 16, 1981, when he was 56 years old.<ref>{{Cite web|date=1981-07-16|title=New prime minister in Malaysia|url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1981/07/16/New-prime-minister-in-Malaysia/1323364104000/|access-date=|website=UPI|language=en}}</ref> In his early years as leader, he worked to strengthen his position in UMNO and won the [[1982 Malaysian general election|1982 general election]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Milne & Mauzy|1999|p=28}}</ref><ref>{{Harvnb|Sankaran & Hamdan|1988|pp=18–20}}</ref>
Economically, Mahathir supported privatization, thinking the government shouldn't be in business. He privatized airlines, utilities, and telecom firms, averaging about 50 a year by the mid-1990s. This improved conditions and made good money for the government.
During this time, Mahathir led the building of the [[North–South Expressway|North-South Expressway]], a big highway from [[Thailand]] to [[Singapore]]. He also started Proton, a car company with [[Mitsubishi Motors|Mitsubishi]]. Proton faced problems at first but became the biggest car maker in [[Southeast Asia]] by the late 1980s, helped by tariffs.

In 1989, Mahathir had a heart attack<ref>{{cite book|last=Cheah|first=Boon Keng|title=Malaysia: the making of a nation|year=2002|publisher=Institute of Southeast Asian Studies|isbn=981-230-154-2|page=219}}</ref> but got better and led Barisan Nasional to win the [[1990 Malaysian general election|1990 election]].<ref>{{cite book|author=Kim Hoong Khong|title=Malaysia's general election 1990: continuity, change, and ethnic politics|url=https://archive.org/details/malaysiasgeneral0000khon|year=1991|publisher=Institute of South-East Asian Studies|isbn=981-3035-77-3|pages=[https://archive.org/details/malaysiasgeneral0000khon/page/15 15]–17}}</ref> When the Malaysian New Economic Policy ended in 1990, Mahathir made [[Wawasan 2020|Vision 2020]].

In the 1990s, Mahathir started important projects to make Malaysia better. He created the [[MSC Malaysia|Multimedia Super Corridor]] to help technology and business. Mahathir also built [[Putrajaya]] as Malaysia's main place for government offices. Additionally, he made the [[Petronas Towers|Petronas Twin Towers]], which became symbols of Malaysia growing and getting stronger during his time as leader. In 1997, there was a big problem with haze in Southeast Asia caused by [[1997 Indonesian forest fires|fires in Indonesian forests]]; Mahathir started a firefighting operation across borders to help deal with it.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tan |first=Esther |date=8 November 1997 |title=Malaysia, Indonesia signing pact to curb haze |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1309&dat=19971108&id=cLBOAAAAIBAJ&pg=5399,1353 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220414165918/https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1309&dat=19971108&id=cLBOAAAAIBAJ&pg=5399,1353 |archive-date=14 April 2022 |access-date= |website=New Straits Times}}</ref>

During the [[1997 Asian financial crisis|Asian financial crisis]] in 1997, Mahathir didn't follow advice from the [[International Monetary Fund|IMF]] and his deputy, [[Anwar Ibrahim]]. Instead, he spent more money and made Malaysia's money stay the same as the [[United States dollar|US dollar]]. This helped Malaysia recover faster than other countries nearby. In September 2003, five years after Malaysia introduced capital controls following the financial crisis, the IMF agreed that Malaysia was correct to make its own decisions.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2003-09-04|title=Malaysia was right, says IMF|url=https://www.klik.com.my/item/story/1400037/malaysia-was-right-says-imf-hl-|access-date=|website=New Straits Times}}</ref>

Mahathir criticized the 2003 U.S.-led [[Iraq War|Iraq invasion]] and accused Halliburton, once led by Vice President [[Dick Cheney]], of making billions in profits. He said Halliburton's stock price rose from $10 before the war to about $46 after winning Iraq contracts worth nearly $20 billion.

Mahathir knew industrialization and exports were key. Under him, Malaysia tried to diversify its economy and move away from traditional sectors. Manufacturing, especially electronics, cars, and textiles, became important. His government encouraged foreign investment, gave incentives for industry, and improved infrastructure to support new businesses.<ref name="Oscar-inning">{{Cite web|last=Jasmi|first=Mohd Azad|date=2024-03-27|title=How Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad Catapulted Malaysia into the Asian Tiger Economy|url=https://threehundredth.com/how-tun-dr-mahathir-mohamad-catapulted-malaysia-into-the-asian-tiger-economy/|access-date=|website=300th|language=en}}{{Dead link|date=May 2026 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> He successfully raised Malaysia's profile on the world stage and made it one of the leading Asian economies in the 1990s.<ref name="tatler">{{Cite web|last=Asia|first=Tatler|title=Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad|url=https://www.tatlerasia.com/people/mahathir-mohamad|access-date=|website=Tatler Asia|language=en}}</ref>
Mahathir led the modernization of Malaysia by building the [[North–South Expressway|North-South Expressway]] and promoting major infrastructure projects like the [[Kuala Lumpur International Airport]] and the [[Petronas Towers|Petronas Twin Towers]]. These achievements and more have earned him the title of Malaysia’s ''Father of Modernization'' (''Bapa Pemodenan'').<ref name="tatler"/>
In 1998, Malaysia faced a serious economic crisis due to external and internal problems. Mahathir took strong actions to stabilize and recover the economy. His government set up capital controls, fixed the [[Malaysian ringgit|ringgit]]’s value to the US dollar, and made major reforms to fix weaknesses in the financial system and corporate governance.<ref name="Oscar-inning"/>

He was the [[Prime Minister of Malaysia]] from May 2018 to March 2020. He was also the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia. He held the job for 22 years from 1981 to 2003. This made him Malaysia's longest-serving Prime Minister. His political career lasted for almost 70 years.
Mahathir was born and grew up in [[Alor Setar]], [[Kedah]]. He did well in school and studied medicine at the [[National University of Singapore|King Edward VII College]] of Medicine in [[Singapore]]. He worked as a doctor before entering politics. Mahathir became active in the [[United Malays National Organisation]] (UMNO). In 1964, he was elected to the [[Parliament of Malaysia]] as the Member of Parliament for Kota Setar Selatan. He lost his seat in 1969 and was expelled from UMNO after disagreeing with Prime Minister [[Tunku Abdul Rahman]]. In 1970, he wrote a book called ''[[The Malay Dilemma]]''. After Tunku resigned, Mahathir returned to UMNO and to Parliament, representing Kubang Pasu. He served as Minister of Education from 1974 to 1978, and as Minister of Trade and Industry from 1978 to 1981. In 1976, he became [[Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia|Deputy Prime Minister]]. In 1981, he became the Prime Minister of Malaysia.
During his first time as Prime Minister from 1981 to 2003, Malaysia experienced strong economic growth and many changes. His government supported privatisation and built many large projects. These included the [[North–South Expressway]], the [[MSC Malaysia|Multimedia Super Corridor]], and the [[Petronas Towers|Petronas Twin Towers]]. Mahathir led the country through the [[1997 Asian financial crisis]] by introducing capital controls and other measures, which helped Malaysia recover faster than some neighbouring countries. Mahathir won five general elections, in [[1982 Malaysian general election|1982]], [[1986 Malaysian general election|1986]], [[1990 Malaysian general election|1990]], [[1995 Malaysian general election|1995]], and [[1999 Malaysian general election|1999]], and remained a central figure in Malaysian politics during this period.

==Early life and political career==
[[File:Mahathir Mohamad in his schooldays, 1939.jpg|150px|left|thumb|Mahathir in his schooldays, 1939]]
Mahathir born on 10 July 1925, in [[Alor Setar]], [[Kedah]],<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-07-10|title=Turning 96, Dr Mahathir prays Malaysia will be developed by all parties|url=https://www.astroawani.com/berita-malaysia/turning-96-dr-mahathir-prays-malaysia-will-be-developed-all-parties-307764|access-date=|website=www.astroawani.com}}{{Dead link|date=March 2026 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> became politically active after [[World War II]]. He protested against the Malayan Union's decision to grant citizenship to non-Malays.
Mahathir excelled in his studies and became a medical doctor. He joined UMNO (United Malays National Organisation) and entered Parliament in 1964. After serving one term, he lost his seat and was expelled from UMNO due to disagreements with Prime Minister [[Tunku Abdul Rahman]].
During his time away from mainstream politics, Mahathir wrote his first book, ''[[The Malay Dilemma]]'', advocating for affirmative action for Malays in education and society. The book criticized the government led by Tunku Abdul Rahman and was banned upon publication.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Kamm|first=Henry|last2=Times|first2=Special To the New York|date=1981-08-26|title=MALAYSIA ENDS BAN ON PREMIER'S BOOK|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/26/world/malaysia-ends-ban-on-premier-s-book.html|access-date=|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

Mahathir returned to UMNO and Parliament after Tunku Abdul Rahman resigned. He was appointed to the Cabinet and became Deputy Prime Minister by 1976. In 1981, Mahathir was sworn in as Malaysia's Prime Minister, a position he held for over two decades.

==First term as prime minister (1981-2003)==
[[File:Mahathir 1984.jpg|thumb|centre|Mahathir visited the [[United States]] in 1984 on an official trip]]
Mahathir became Prime Minister on July 16, 1981, when he was 56 years old.<ref>{{Cite web|date=1981-07-16|title=New prime minister in Malaysia|url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1981/07/16/New-prime-minister-in-Malaysia/1323364104000/|access-date=|website=UPI|language=en}}</ref> In his early years as leader, he worked to strengthen his position in UMNO and won the [[1982 Malaysian general election|1982 general election]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Milne & Mauzy|1999|p=28}}</ref><ref>{{Harvnb|Sankaran & Hamdan|1988|pp=18–20}}</ref>
Economically, Mahathir supported privatization, thinking the government shouldn't be in business. He privatized airlines, utilities, and telecom firms, averaging about 50 a year by the mid-1990s. This improved conditions and made good money for the government.
During this time, Mahathir led the building of the [[North–South Expressway|North-South Expressway]], a big highway from [[Thailand]] to [[Singapore]]. He also started Proton, a car company with [[Mitsubishi Motors|Mitsubishi]]. Proton faced problems at first but became the biggest car maker in [[Southeast Asia]] by the late 1980s, helped by tariffs.

In the 1990s, Mahathir started important projects to make Malaysia better. He created the [[MSC Malaysia|Multimedia Super Corridor]] to help technology and business. Mahathir also built [[Putrajaya]] as Malaysia's main place for government offices. Additionally, he made the [[Petronas Towers|Petronas Twin Towers]], which became symbols of Malaysia growing and getting stronger during his time as leader. In 1997, there was a big problem with haze in Southeast Asia caused by [[1997 Indonesian forest fires|fires in Indonesian forests]]; Mahathir started a firefighting operation across borders to help deal with it.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tan |first=Esther |date=8 November 1997 |title=Malaysia, Indonesia signing pact to curb haze |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1309&dat=19971108&id=cLBOAAAAIBAJ&pg=5399,1353 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220414165918/https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1309&dat=19971108&id=cLBOAAAAIBAJ&pg=5399,1353 |archive-date=14 April 2022 |access-date= |website=New Straits Times}}</ref>

During the [[1997 Asian financial crisis|Asian financial crisis]] in 1997, Mahathir didn't follow advice from the [[International Monetary Fund|IMF]] and his deputy, [[Anwar Ibrahim]]. Instead, he spent more money and made Malaysia's money stay the same as the [[United States dollar|US dollar]]. This helped Malaysia recover faster than other countries nearby. In September 2003, five years after Malaysia introduced capital controls following the financial crisis, the IMF agreed that Malaysia was correct to make its own decisions.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2003-09-04|title=Malaysia was right, says IMF|url=https://www.klik.com.my/item/story/1400037/malaysia-was-right-says-imf-hl-|access-date=|website=New Straits Times}}</ref>

==Legacy==
[[File:Mahathir Mohamad bust in Sarajevo.jpg|thumb|180px|In 2020, a statue of Mahathir was put up in [[Sarajevo]], the capital of [[Bosnia and Herzegovina|Bosnia]].]]
Mahathir knew industrialization and exports were key. Under him, Malaysia tried to diversify its economy and move away from traditional sectors. Manufacturing, especially electronics, cars, and textiles, became important. His government encouraged foreign investment, gave incentives for industry, and improved infrastructure to support new businesses.<ref name="Oscar-inning">{{Cite web|last=Jasmi|first=Mohd Azad|date=2024-03-27|title=How Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad Catapulted Malaysia into the Asian Tiger Economy|url=https://threehundredth.com/how-tun-dr-mahathir-mohamad-catapulted-malaysia-into-the-asian-tiger-economy/|access-date=|website=300th|language=en}}{{Dead link|date=May 2026 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> He successfully raised Malaysia's profile on the world stage and made it one of the leading Asian economies in the 1990s.<ref name="tatler">{{Cite web|last=Asia|first=Tatler|title=Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad|url=https://www.tatlerasia.com/people/mahathir-mohamad|access-date=|website=Tatler Asia|language=en}}</ref>
Mahathir led the modernization of Malaysia by building the [[North–South Expressway|North-South Expressway]] and promoting major infrastructure projects like the [[Kuala Lumpur International Airport]] and the [[Petronas Towers|Petronas Twin Towers]]. These achievements and more have earned him the title of Malaysia’s ''Father of Modernization'' (''Bapa Pemodenan'').<ref name="tatler"/>
In 1998, Malaysia faced a serious economic crisis due to external and internal problems. Mahathir took strong actions to stabilize and recover the economy. His government set up capital controls, fixed the [[Malaysian ringgit|ringgit]]’s value to the US dollar, and made major reforms to fix weaknesses in the financial system and corporate governance.<ref name="Oscar-inning"/>

'''Marjane Satrapi''' (22 November 1969 – 4 June 2026) was a writer and artist. She was born in [[Rasht]], [[Iran]]. She lived in [[Paris]], [[France]]. Satrapi wrote [[comics]] about her life, notably the autobiographical comic [[Persepolis_(comics)|Persepolis]]. She drew the pictures herself. She also drew pictures for other children’s books.<ref>"Marjane Satrapi." Authors and Artists for Young Adults, vol. 55, Gale, 2004. Biography In Context. Accessed 10 May 2018.</ref>
== Education and early life ==
Satrapi's parents were educated, and taught Satrapi to think for herself. She went to high school at Lycee Francais in Tehran, Iran. When she was 14, Satrapi's parents sent her to Vienna, [[Austria]] to learn in a freer country. When Satrapi was 19, she moved back to Iran to study decorative arts at the Tehran School of Fine Arts. The change from the [[western world]] to Iran was difficult for her. In 1994, Satrapi moved to Strasbourg, France to study art for 3 years. She now lives in Paris, France.<ref>"Marjane Satrapi." ''Authors and Artists for Young Adults'', vol. 55, Gale, 2004. ''Biography In Context'', <nowiki>http://link.galegroup.com/apps/doc/K1603001160/BIC?u=palo88030&sid=BIC&xid=e61cf85f</nowiki>.

She was the only child of [[Marxist]] parents.{{Citation needed|reason=The main en page describes her parents as leftists, specifically opposed to the the Shah. More nuance and a specific source would be helpful here. |date=June 2026}}
== Beliefs ==
Satrapi thinks countries should not spend money on [[weapon]]s. She thinks they should spend money for kids to go to school in different countries. She thinks that studying in different countries helps people understand each other better.
In RandomHouse.com, Satrapi said, "I believe there are ways to solve the world's problems. Instead of putting all this money to create [[Weapon|arms]], I think countries should invest in [[scholarship]]s for kids to study abroad [other countries]. Perhaps they could become good and knowledgeable [[professor]]s in their own countries. You need time for that kind of change, though."<ref>"Marjane Satrapi." ''Authors and Artists for Young Adults'', vol. 55, Gale, 2004. ''Biography In Context'', <nowiki>http://link.galegroup.com/apps/doc/K1603001160/BIC?u=palo88030&sid=BIC&xid=e61cf85f</nowiki>. Accessed 13 May 2018.</ref>
== Writing and the War ==
Iran's [[Islamic Revolution]] against the [[Mohammad Reza Pahlavi|Shah]], the country’s [[dictator]], started in 1979. Satrapi’s uncle was put in [[prison]] by the Shah, then [[murder]]ed by people who supported the war.
Satrapi wrote a popular series of [[comics]] called ''Persepolis''. ''Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood,'' tells about Satrapi's life, the [[discrimination]] she faced, and moving to [[Europe]]. She later wrote a [[sequel]] to ''Persepolis'' that talked about how she was treated badly for years when she went back to Iran.
Satrapi’s most famous book is called ''Persepolis''.<ref>Spurgeon, Thomas. "Comics." ''World Book Advanced'', World Book, 2018.</ref>
Persepolis is the old Persian capital. The [[comic book]] is about Satrapi’s childhood in Iran during the war. This time was when country wanted to end the Shah’s cruel rule. She has written three [[comic books]] relating to her life. The first and second are about her childhood. The third is about her study in different countries. She was planning to write a fourth book about her return to Iran.<ref>"Marjane Satrapi." ''Authors and Artists for Young Adults'', vol. 55, Gale, 2004.

'''Marjane Satrapi''' (22 November 1969 – 4 June 2026) was a writer and artist. She was born in [[Rasht]], [[Iran]]. She lived in [[Paris]], [[France]]. Satrapi wrote [[comics]] about her life, notably the autobiographical comic [[Persepolis_(comics)|Persepolis]]. She drew the pictures herself. She also drew pictures for other children’s books.<ref>"Marjane Satrapi." Authors and Artists for Young Adults, vol. 55, Gale, 2004. Biography In Context. Accessed 10 May 2018.</ref>
== Education and early life ==
Satrapi's parents were educated, and taught Satrapi to think for herself. She went to high school at Lycee Francais in Tehran, Iran. When she was 14, Satrapi's parents sent her to Vienna, [[Austria]] to learn in a freer country. When Satrapi was 19, she moved back to Iran to study decorative arts at the Tehran School of Fine Arts. The change from the [[western world]] to Iran was difficult for her. In 1994, Satrapi moved to Strasbourg, France to study art for 3 years. She now lives in Paris, France.<ref>"Marjane Satrapi." ''Authors and Artists for Young Adults'', vol. 55, Gale, 2004. ''Biography In Context'', <nowiki>http://link.galegroup.com/apps/doc/K1603001160/BIC?u=palo88030&sid=BIC&xid=e61cf85f</nowiki>. Accessed 13 May 2018.</ref><ref>"Marjane Satrapi." ''Gale Student Resources in Context'', Gale, 2008. ''Student Resources In Context'', <nowiki>http://link.galegroup.com/apps/doc/EJ2181100279/SUIC?u=palo88030&sid=SUIC&xid=1771f93d</nowiki>. Accessed 13 May 2018.</ref>
She was the only child of [[Marxist]] parents.{{Citation needed|reason=The main en page describes her parents as leftists, specifically opposed to the the Shah. More nuance and a specific source would be helpful here. |date=June 2026}}
== Beliefs ==
Satrapi thinks countries should not spend money on [[weapon]]s. She thinks they should spend money for kids to go to school in different countries. She thinks that studying in different countries helps people understand each other better.
In RandomHouse.com, Satrapi said, "I believe there are ways to solve the world's problems. Instead of putting all this money to create [[Weapon|arms]], I think countries should invest in [[scholarship]]s for kids to study abroad [other countries]. Perhaps they could become good and knowledgeable [[professor]]s in their own countries. You need time for that kind of change, though."<ref>"Marjane Satrapi." ''Authors and Artists for Young Adults'', vol. 55, Gale, 2004. ''Biography In Context'', <nowiki>http://link.galegroup.com/apps/doc/K1603001160/BIC?u=palo88030&sid=BIC&xid=e61cf85f</nowiki>. Accessed 13 May 2018.</ref>
== Writing and the War ==
Iran's [[Islamic Revolution]] against the [[Mohammad Reza Pahlavi|Shah]], the country’s [[dictator]], started in 1979. Satrapi’s uncle was put in [[prison]] by the Shah, then [[murder]]ed by people who supported the war.
Satrapi wrote a popular series of [[comics]] called ''Persepolis''. ''Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood,'' tells about Satrapi's life, the [[discrimination]] she faced, and moving to [[Europe]]. She later wrote a [[sequel]] to ''Persepolis'' that talked about how she was treated badly for years when she went back to Iran.
Satrapi’s most famous book is called ''Persepolis''.<ref>Spurgeon, Thomas. "Comics." ''World Book Advanced'', World Book, 2018.</ref>
Persepolis is the old Persian capital. The [[comic book]] is about Satrapi’s childhood in Iran during the war. This time was when country wanted to end the Shah’s cruel rule. She has written three [[comic books]] relating to her life. The first and second are about her childhood. The third is about her study in different countries. She was planning to write a fourth book about her return to Iran.<ref>"Marjane Satrapi." ''Authors and Artists for Young Adults'', vol. 55, Gale, 2004.

The '''Ram Pickup''' (previously '''Dodge Ram''') is a full-size [[pickup truck]] made by [[Chrysler]]. They used to be made by [[Dodge]].
The name ''Ram'' was first used in 1981 on the redesigned Dodge trucks. These trucks are named for a ram hood ornament.

Unencumbered by CAFE ([[Corporate average fuel economy|Corporate Average Fuel Economy]]) restrictions, DaimlerChrysler's Mexican subsidiary developed a three-door [[SUV]] version of the Ram, called the Ramcharger as was its predecessor. It debuted in 1998, but was never available in the United States.<ref name="SS03">{{Cite journal|date=2002|editor-last=Mazur|editor-first=Eligiusz|title=Katalog Samochody Świata 2003|trans-title=World Car Catalogue 2003|journal=Samochody Świata|location=Warsaw, Poland|publisher=Print Shops Prego|page=217|issn=1234-8198|ref=SS03}}</ref>

The Dodge Ram 6500/7000 chassis cab was offered in both Regular Cab and Crew Cab configurations. The Regular Cab seats up to three passengers, continuing the long lineage of 2-door medium-duty enclosed cab trucks, including models such as the Hansen Horse Drawn Winona Freight Wagon, [[Packard|1905-1919 Packard 3-Ton Truck Chassis with Enclosed Cab and Doors]], [[Brockway Motor Company|Brockway T 2-Door Enclosed Cab Truck (1920-1924)]], [[Brockway Motor Company|1925 Brockway Model K2 1/2 to 3 Ton 2-Door Enclosed Cab Truck]], [[Brockway Motor Company|1926 Brockway Model R 3 1/2-4 Ton 2-Door Enclosed Cab Truck]], [[Dodge|1928-1929 Graham Brothers 2-Door All-Steel Enclosed Cab Dual Rear Wheel Chassis Truck]], [[Dodge|1930-1932 Dodge 1½-Ton Enclosed Cab Dual Rear Wheel Chassis Truck (F-30)]], [[Dodge|1933 Dodge Brothers 1.5 Ton 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge|1934 Dodge Brothers 1.5 Ton 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge|1935 Dodge Brothers 1.5 Ton 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge L, M and R "Fore-Point" Trucks|1936 Dodge 1.5 Ton 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge L, M and R "Fore-Point" Trucks|1937 Dodge 1.5 Ton 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge L, M and R "Fore-Point" Trucks|1938 Dodge 1.5 Ton 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge T-, V-, W-Series|1939 Dodge T-Series Medium-Duty 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge T-, V-, W-Series|1940 Dodge V-Series Medium-Duty 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge T-, V-, W-Series|1941-1947 Dodge W-Series Medium-Duty 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge B series|1948-1950 Dodge B-Series Medium-Duty 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge B series|1951 Dodge B-Series Medium-Duty 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge B series|1952 Dodge B-Series Medium-Duty 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge B series|1953 Dodge B-Series Medium-Duty 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge C Series|1954 Dodge C Series ''Job-Rated Medium Duty'' 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge C Series|1955 Dodge C-Series ''Job-Rated Medium Duty'' 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge C Series|1956 Dodge C Series ''Job-Rated Medium Duty'' 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge C Series|1957 Dodge C Series ''Job-Rated Medium Duty'' 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge C Series|1958 Dodge D-700 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge C Series|1959 Dodge D-700 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge C Series|1960 Dodge D-700 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge D Series|1961–1964 Dodge D-600 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge D Series|1965–1967 Dodge D-600 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge D Series|1968–1971 Dodge D-600 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], [[Dodge D Series|1972–1978 Dodge D-600 2-Door Regular Cab Truck]], and [[Dodge|DeSoto PD 700 AS 2-door standard cab truck]], while the Crew Cab offers two rows of seating and can accommodate up to six. The specific cab choice impacts the truck's overall length and bed size options. The range included a 3500 and 4000 with the 5.9-liter V8 with {{cvt|245|hp|kW|0}} at 4,000 rpm and a four-speed manual transmission; these look quite similar to the US version, albeit on a heftier chassis.<ref>{{citation|title=Ram 3500/4000 Custom 2000: La Nueva Dodge|date=1999-07-15|url=http://dodgeram.org/ki4cy/ram_picts/mexram/r3540.pdf|trans-title=The New Dodge|type=brochure|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100616125827/http://dodgeram.org/ki4cy/ram_picts/mexram/r3540.pdf|location=Mexico|language=es|archive-date=2010-06-16|via=DodgeRam.org}}</ref> Payloads are {{cvt|3041|and|3274|kg|lb|0}} respectively.<ref>{{citation|title=Dodge Ram 3500/4000 Custom 2-puertas chasís cabina|date=2000|url=http://dodgeram.org/ki4cy/ram_picts/mexram/ram3500.pdf|trans-title=2-door chassis cab|type=brochure|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101117081117/http://dodgeram.org/ki4cy/ram_picts/mexram/ram3500.pdf|location=Mexico|language=es|archive-date=2010-11-17|via=DodgeRam.org}}</ref> The much larger 6500 and 7000 have a bigger engine, available to run on LPG.

'''Mdakra''' (Arabic: المذاكرة) are a Moroccan predominantly Arab and Berber tribe, traditionally forming part of the Chaouia tribal confederation. Their primary administrative and economic centers are the towns of [[:en:El_Gara|El Gara]] and [[:en:Benslimane|Benslimane]].

Origins Historically, the Mdakra were composed of two distinct ethnic elements: a Berber element, represented by the Mellila fraction, and a majority Arab element comprising the Ahlaf, Oulad Sabbah and Ouled Ali fractions. The Mellila and Houara Ancestry are historically linked to the Houara branch, descending from Meld, the brother of Houar and son of Aurigh. During the [[Muslim conquests]], the Houara tribes were located in Tripolitania (modern Libya). They migrated westward through Tunisia and across the Maghreb. [[Ibn Khaldun]] notes that while they were once a proud and independent people, the vicissitudes of history and taxation led to their dispersal and impoverishment across various regions of [[North Africa]]. The Ahlaf and Maqilian Origins The Ahlaf are attributed to a Maqilian lineage, originally established in northeastern Morocco.
This group was divided into two main branches: the [[Amarna]] and the Mounbat. Their arrival in the Tamesna region (modern Chaouia) remains a subject of historical study. Ibn Khaldun describes certain Ahlaf factions as nomadic desert-dwellers who controlled caravan routes and Saharan settlements.
'''The Ouled Sabbah / Sabih''', their identity is a focal point of historiographical debate.
While the work Al-Istiqsa classifies them as [[:en:Banu_Hilal|'''Hilalians''']] of the Riyah branch via the '''[https://tribes-of-mena.fandom.com/fr/wiki/Banu_al-Akhdar Banu Akhdar] (بنو الأخضر)''' , other analysis suggests this was an administrative categorization based on geographic location. Conversely, Ibn Khaldun firmly attaches them to the [[:en:Maqil|'''Maqil''']] Arabs, a view corroborated by their close affiliation with the '''Ouled Ali''', a predominantly Maqilian tribe.
Originally from the banks of the Moulouya River, they have been affiliated with the Banu Maqilv(Jafarids, descendants of [[:en:Ja'far_ibn_Abi_Talib|Ja'far ibn Abi Talib]]). They claim kinship with the Banu Hassan, as supported by genealogical records, the noble warrior branch of the Maqil. Historical Precision: The Akhdar branch is not indigenous to the Banu Hilal.
In reality, their ancestral identity Akhdar is not of Hilalian origin. Historically, the [https://tribes-of-mena.fandom.com/fr/wiki/Banu_al-Akhdar '''Banu Akhdar'''] (بنو الأخضر) refers to a '''[[:en:Alids|Sharifian (Alid)]]<nowiki/>descent'''. Following the collapse of the '''[[:fr:Banu_al-Ukhaïdhir|Banu al-Ukhaidhir]]''' (Ukhaydirid) state in Arabia from the 9th to mid-11th century, these lineages integrated with the Bedouins of Maqilian migrations for political survival.
Thus, historically their lineage trace back to '''Muhammed ibn Yusuf Al-Ukhaydir''', known as '''"Amir Al-Akhdar."''' [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitab_al-Ibar] Settlement on the banks of the [[Moulouya River]] marked their definitive integration into the [[Maqil]] confederation, where they maintained their status as '''"Chorfa"''' (nobles) while assuming leadership roles within the tribal alliances of Eastern Morocco and the [[Chaouia]].<ref name="Talat" />
History Formation and Early Influence (11th – 18th Century) The Mdakra emerged from a "superposition" of peoples. The original inhabitants of the Tamesna plains were the Berghouata (a Masmouda tribe). Following the Almoravid and [[Almohad]] persecutions in the 12th century, the Berghouata vanished as a political entity, coinciding with the arrival of Arab tribes. Elements of Berghouata heritage remain within the Ouled Salah fraction. Conflict with the Mzab In the 18th century, the Mdakra occupied the territories of Mqarto and Ziou. During a conflict between the Ouled Bou Rezq and the Ouled Bou Atiya, the Mdakra were betrayed by their temporary allies, the Mzab.
This led to a retreat westward, causing the Mdakra to displace the Ziyaïda and Ouled Zian tribes. Resistance Against French Colonization (1907–1914) The Mdakra were among the most bellicose tribes of the Chaouia, participating in every major engagement against French forces. They were the last tribe to submit during the pacification of the region. A notable engagement was the Battle of Fakhakha (February 28, 1908), described as one of the bloodiest of the campaign.
Tribal Organization The tribe is divided into two primary geographic and sociological groups: 1. People of the Plains (Moualine Louta) Predominantly of Arab origin, led historically by figures such as Abdelkader ben Al-Hajj Al-Ma'ti Ould Al-Farjiya.
* '''Ouled Sabbah:''' This fraction includes the sub-groups of Zbirat, Ouled Atiya, Ouled Faida, Ouled Zidane, and Ouled Qorra.
* '''Ouled Ali:''' A major fraction closely associated with the Ouled Sabbah through shared Maqil ancestry.
2. People of the Forest (Moualine Lghaba) Of [[Arab-Berber]] origin, known for their semi-nomadic lifestyle and historical independence from the central government (the [[Makhzen]]).
* '''Ahlaf:''' Of Arab origin, consisting of the branches Ouled Hassan, Ouled Ljich, and Zzkama.
* '''Mellila:''' Of Berber (Houara) origin. This group includes the Ouled Salah, who are considered the descendants of the ancient Berghouata.
Territory The Mdakra territory covers approximately 70,000 hectares in the Chaouia plain. It is bordered by the Ziyaïda to the north, the Ouled Hriz to the west, the Zaers to the east, and the Mzab to the south. The Ouled Sabbah lands are noted for being exceptionally fertile and highly developed for agriculture. Notable Figures and Families The tribe has a rich tradition of Sufi saints and scholars, though many historical details were lost during the transition from oral to written records.
== Prominent Sufi Shrines ==
* '''Ouled Sabbah:''' Sidi Moussa Ben Ayed, Sidi Ahmed Ben 'Olayan, and Sidi Mass'oud Sabahi.
* '''Ahlaf:''' Sidi Bou'bid, Lalla Aïcha, and Sidi Qassim.

He is popularly known as '''Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj'''. Shivaji was born in the Shivneri Fort in [[Maharashtra]] on 19 February 1630 to mother Jijabai and father Shahaji bhosale. It is said that mother Jijabai to goddess Shivai on Shivneri fort for a brave son and kept her son name as ''Shivaji''.{{fact|date=February 2021}}
At 15 years, he conquered the Torna Fort. The Chakan fort and the Kondana Fort were taken by bribing the Adil Shahi governor. Afzal Khan tried to attempt treachery with Raje Shivaji, Shivaji killed him with Tiger claws. He became the biggest enemy of [[Mughal dynasty|Mughal]] [[Aurangzeb|Emperor Aurangzeb]]. He was arrested in Agra Fort by Aurangzeb, but he escaped by using great wits. In 1674 he was coronated.
In late March 1680, he fell ill with fever and [[dysentery]](blood from excrement), dying around 3–5 April 1680 at the age of 52, on the eve of [[Hanuman Jayanti]]. Rumors followed his death, with Muslims believing he had died because of a curse from [[Jan Muhammad of Jalna]]{{fact|date=February 2021}}. Some also believe that his second wife, [[Soyarabai]], poisoned him so that his crown might pass to her 10-year-old son [[Rajaram Chhatrapati|Rajaram]]{{fact|date=February 2021}}.
After his death, the widowed Soyarabai made plans with various ministers of the administration to crown her son Rajaram rather than her prodigal stepson Sambhaji. On 21 April 1680, ten-year-old Rajaram was installed on the throne. However, Sambhaji took possession of the [[Raigad Fort]] after killing the commander. On 18 June, he acquired control of Raigad, and formally ascended the throne on 20 July.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Truschke |first1=Audrey |title=Aurangzeb: The Life and Legacy of India's Most Controversial King |date=2017 |publisher=Stanford University Press |isbn=978-1-5036-0259-5 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oUUkDwAAQBAJ |language=en}}</ref>

Leigh has said that she and her husband have a pact in which the person who guesses the baby's sex correctly gets to choose the name.

'''''Sausage Party''''' is a 2016 adult 3D [[computer]] [[animation|animated]] adventure and [[comedy]] [[movie]]. It is a spot of [[VeggieTales]] and it's distributed by [[Columbia Pictures]].
==Plot==
Frank is one of the [[sausage]]s who dreams of living with his [[hot dog]] bun girlfriend, Brenda. When Frank and Brenda's packages are chosen by a woman named Camille Toh to leave a [[supermarket]] called Shopwell's, a returned [[jar]] of Bickle's [[culinary mustard|honey mustard]] unsuccessfully warns the groceries that their [[afterlife]] called The Great Beyond is a noble lie. Frank fails to stop Honey Mustard from committing suicide. This causes the two carts to crash each other, while Brenda, Frank and some groceries end up leaving the cart. The [[douche]] plots revenge against Frank and Brenda, after getting his nozzle bent. Teresa, a [[taco]], falls in love with Brenda right after meeting her. Barry becomes frightened, when he discovers Camille preparing to cook the other purchased foods. Barry escapes from a window. When Frank separates from his friends, who disapprove of him being skeptical of the Great Beyond, he finds a cookbook behind the freezer section. When Frank reveals the contents for the rest of the groceries and before the humans return to the supermarket, the groceries choose to not believe Frank, despite his warning.

'''''Valiant''''' is a 2005 animated war [[comedy movie]] produced by [[John H. Williams (movie producer)|John H. Williams]] and directed by Gary Chapman. It is the first feature movie by American animation studio [[Vanguard Animation]], which features an [[Ensemble cast|ensemble voice cast]] including [[Evan McGregor]], [[Ricky Gervais]], [[Tim Curry]], [[Jim Broadbent]], [[Hugh Laurie]], [[John Cleese]], [[John Hurt]], [[Pip Torrens]], [[Rik Mayall]], and [[Olivia Williams]]. Set in May 1944, the movie tells the story of an group of [[war pigeons]] during [[World War II]]. From a screenplay by Jordan Katz, George Webster, and George Melrod, it was inspired by true stories of hundreds of pigeons that helped the soldiers in the war.
''Valiant'' was released in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2005, and in the United States on 19 August. It received mixed reviews in critics, and grossed $62 million against a $35 million budget.
== Plot ==
In May 1944, during [[World War II]], three Royal Homing Pigeon Service (RHPS) [[war pigeon]]s led by Mercury are flying across the [[English Channel]] carrying a vital message to [[Great Britain]] where they are ambushed by [[Nazi Germany|German]]-affiliated [[peregrine falcon]] named General Von Talon, who kills Mercury's comrades and takes him as a [[prisoner of war]].
In West Nestington, a small [[Common Wood Pigeon|wood pigeon]] named Valiant watches an [[Allies of World War II|Allied]] propaganda film at his local bar with his best friend and barman, a [[seagull]] named Felix, before a [[war hero]] named Wing Commander Gutsy arrives to announce signups for the RHPS will begin the next day in [[Trafalgar Square]]. Valiant encounters an uncouth pigeon named Bugsy en route to the square, and in order to escape from a pair of [[magpie]] thugs he cheated in a [[shell game]], Bugsy signs up too. The pair are assigned to Squad F along with an intellectual red pigeon named Lofty and two muscular yet dimwitted brothers named Toughwood and Tailfeather. At the [[recruit training]] facility, they are placed under Sergeant Monty's command and Valiant develops a crush on the camp's nurse, a dove named Victoria. Meanwhile, Von Talon and his falcon minions Cufflingk and Underlingk torture Mercury into revealing the message was sent from Saint Pierre in France.
Gutsy informs Monty the recruits must leave before their training is complete. Bugsy deserts, fearing for his life, but returns as Squad F departs. Their plane is damaged in an [[Anti-aircraft warfare|anti-aircraft attack]] and the squad bail outs. A technical malfunction traps Gutsy on the plane as it crash-lands.
In France, Squad F meets Charles de Girl and Rollo, two mice from the [[French Resistance]]'s Mouse Division, who lead them to Saint-Pierre. They are ordered to deliver the same message, but Von Talon's forces attack, capturing Bugsy. Unaware that Squad F followed him to his bunker hideout, Von Talon imprisons Bugsy, intending to kill him after he delivers the message to the [[Führer]]. As Squad F reunites with Gutsy, Valiant uses his short stature to infiltrate Von Talon's bunker and rescue Bugsy and Mercury. The falcons discover them during their escape, but Squad F, Mercury, and Gutsy hold off Cufflingk and Underlingk while Valiant flies to London to deliver the message, pursued by Von Talon.
With Felix and his fellow West Nestington residents' help, Valiant subdues Von Talon and successfully delivers the message, which inspires the Allies to change their invasion plans and [[Normandy landings|land in Normandy]]. Squad F receives the [[Dickin Medal]] and celebrates at the West Nestington bar, where Valiant shares a kiss with Victoria. A message is then displayed commending the animals that saved thousands of lives during World War II.

==Director==
Gary Chapman made his directorial debut with ''Valiant''. Initially Chapman was hired for character and production design during project development before he was attached to direct the movie after extensive work with story development, writers, and producers. Chapman was subsequently storyboard artist, designing characters for the Vanguard Animation movie ''[[Space Chimps]]''.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1369705/ Gary Chapman], IMDb. Retrieved 2014-01-28.</ref>
===Animation===
The movie, on a tight budget and with a relatively small group of animators, was created in 106 weeks,<ref name="Times" /> in what ''[[The Times]]'' described as "a piece of guerrilla film-making" in comparison to the other CGI animated movies created by major studios.<ref name="Times" /> At least 5 computer animators worked together for every scene of the 76-minute movie, working on effects such as color, movement and shading.<ref name="Times part two">{{cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/article424665.ece?token=null&offset=12&page=2 |title= Where pigeons dare: Part 2 |newspaper=[[The Times]] |date= 2005-03-20 |access-date= 2010-01-10}}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> As a result of the low number of animators, some critics called the film's animation "amateurish-looking",<ref name="LA Times">{{cite news|author= Carina Chocano |url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-aug-19-et-valiant19-story.html |title= Style flies the coop in lifeless 'Valiant'|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date= 2005-08-19 |access-date= 25 November 2019}}</ref> but other reviewers stated that the movie was "nicely animated".<ref name="RTÉ">{{cite web|author= Linda McGee |url= http://www.rte.ie/arts/2005/0323/valiant.html |title= Valiant (G) |publisher=[[RTÉ]]|access-date= 2010-01-10}}</ref>
Tom Jacomb, line producer for Vanguard Animation, said that the biggest difficulties whilst making the movie was the detail required for the birds' feathers. He stated that "most — no, all — our problems were feathers",<ref name="Telegraph" /> and described them as a "misery in computer animation".<ref name="Telegraph" /> Director Gary Chapman insisted that each bird must look distinctive,<ref name="Telegraph" /> and as a result, the pigeons came in various colors, including beige, blue, yellow, red and grey. He also requested that each bird be dressed in clothing,<ref name="Telegraph" /> and clothing accessories appear throughout the film on characters, usually [[hat]]s, [[Belt (clothing)|belts]], and [[Military Medal|military medals]] and, in the case of the villainous Von Talon, a black leather [[cape]]. However, before Valiant, Bugsy, Lofty Thaddeus Worthington, Tailfeather, Toughwood complete their military training, they appear entirely clothes-free, equipped with no military regalia.
[[C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures]] also provided animation work on the movie.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Vlessing|first1=Etan|title=Toronto FX giant C.O.R.E.

=== Casting ===
By December 2003, Ewan McGregor joined the cast<ref>{{cite web | title=Hot McGregor to Voice Valiant Lead | url=https://www.awn.com/news/hot-mcgregor-voice-valiant-lead }}</ref> along with [[Ben Kingsley]], [[Jim Broadbent]], [[Rupert Everett]], [[Hugh Laurie]], [[John Hurt]] and [[Ricky Gervais]]. In April 2004, [[John Cleese]] and [[Tim Curry]] joined in. Olivia Williams joined in the cast. Kingsley and Everett later dropped out of the film.
=== Distribution ===
In 2002, [[Walt Disney Studios (division)|the Walt Disney Studios]] signed a four-picture deal with Vanguard, with ''Valiant'' being the first under the deal. The deal would allow Disney to secure North American distribution and home video rights to the film, and worldwide licensing rights.<ref>{{cite web | title=Disney Looks to Vanguard for Future CG Slate | url=https://www.awn.com/news/disney-looks-vanguard-future-cg-slate }}</ref>
== Soundtrack ==
The musical score was composed by [[George Fenton]] and mostly performed by the [[Royal Philharmonic Orchestra]].<ref name="CD soundtrack">{{cite web |title=Valiant Soundtrack CD |url=http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/6921901/a/Valiant.htm |access-date=2010-01-17 |publisher=CD Universe}}</ref> The orchestral music is in keeping with the military theme of the film, such as through "March of the R.H.P.S.", performed by [[The Central Band of the RAF|The Central Band of the Royal Air Force]].<ref name="CD soundtrack" /> Tracks were recorded at [[Air Lyndhurst|AIR Recording Studios]] and at [[Angel Recording Studios]] in [[London]] and at [[MSR Studios|Right Track Studios]], [[New York City|New York]].<ref name="CD soundtrack" /> The only track not composed by Fenton is "[[Shoo Shoo Baby (song)|Shoo Shoo Baby]]", performed by [[R&B]] girl group [[Mis-Teeq]],<ref name="CD soundtrack" /> originally sung by the popular American wartime group, the [[Andrews Sisters]]. Although "Shoo Shoo Baby" was the only track on the album containing lyrics, it was not the only lyrical track used in the film – "[[Non, je ne regrette rien]]" by [[Édith Piaf]] is played in one scene in the film, despite it being recorded in 1960, 16 years after 1944, when the film was set.<ref>{{cite web |title=Goofs for Valiant (2005) |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361089/goofs |access-date=2010-01-17 |publisher=[[IMDb]]}}</ref>

=== Box office ===
The movie grossed $19,478,106 in the U.S. and $42,268,782 internationally, which puts it at a worldwide total of $61,746,888. The film held the record for lowest box office of a CGI animated movie, until this record was later beaten in [[2006 in movie|2006]] by ''Doogal'', the American re-dubbed version of ''[[The Magic Roundabout (movie)|The Magic Roundabout]]''.<ref name="BOM">{{cite web |title=Valiant (2005) |url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=valiant.htm |access-date=2009-03-10 |website=[[Box Office Mojo]]}}</ref>

==Director==
Gary Chapman made his directorial debut with ''Valiant''. Initially Chapman was hired for character and production design during project development before he was attached to direct the movie after extensive work with story development, writers, and producers. Chapman was subsequently storyboard artist, designing characters for the Vanguard Animation movie ''[[Space Chimps]]''.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1369705/ Gary Chapman], IMDb. Retrieved 2014-01-28.</ref>
===Animation===
The movie, on a tight budget and with a relatively small group of animators, was created in 106 weeks,<ref name="Times" /> in what ''[[The Times]]'' described as "a piece of guerrilla film-making" in comparison to the other CGI animated movies created by major studios.<ref name="Times" /> At least 5 computer animators worked together for every scene of the 76-minute movie, working on effects such as color, movement and shading.<ref name="Times part two">{{cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/article424665.ece?token=null&offset=12&page=2 |title= Where pigeons dare: Part 2 |newspaper=[[The Times]] |date= 2005-03-20 |access-date= 2010-01-10}}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> As a result of the low number of animators, some critics called the film's animation "amateurish-looking",<ref name="LA Times">{{cite news|author= Carina Chocano |url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-aug-19-et-valiant19-story.html |title= Style flies the coop in lifeless 'Valiant'|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date= 2005-08-19 |access-date= 25 November 2019}}</ref> but other reviewers stated that the movie was "nicely animated".<ref name="RTÉ">{{cite web|author= Linda McGee |url= http://www.rte.ie/arts/2005/0323/valiant.html |title= Valiant (G) |publisher=[[RTÉ]]|access-date= 2010-01-10}}</ref>

'''''Valiant''''' is a 2005 animated war [[comedy movie]] produced by [[John H. Williams (movie producer)|John H. Williams]] and directed by Gary Chapman. It is the first feature movie by American animation studio [[Vanguard Animation]], which features an [[Ensemble cast|ensemble voice cast]] including [[Evan McGregor]], [[Ricky Gervais]], [[Tim Curry]], [[Jim Broadbent]], [[Hugh Laurie]], [[John Cleese]], [[John Hurt]], [[Pip Torrens]], [[Rik Mayall]], and [[Olivia Williams]]. Set in May 1944, the movie tells the story of an group of [[war pigeons]] during [[World War II]]. From a screenplay by Jordan Katz, George Webster, and George Melrod, it was inspired by true stories of hundreds of pigeons that helped the soldiers in the war.
''Valiant'' was released in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2005, and in the United States on 19 August. It received mixed reviews in critics, and grossed $62 million against a $35 million budget.
== Plot ==
In May 1944, during [[World War II]], three Royal Homing Pigeon Service (RHPS) [[war pigeon]]s led by Mercury are flying across the [[English Channel]] carrying a vital message to [[Great Britain]] where they are ambushed by [[Nazi Germany|German]]-affiliated [[peregrine falcon]] named General Von Talon, who kills Mercury's comrades and takes him as a [[prisoner of war]].
In West Nestington, a small [[Common Wood Pigeon|wood pigeon]] named Valiant watches an [[Allies of World War II|Allied]] propaganda film at his local bar with his best friend and barman, a [[seagull]] named Felix, before a [[war hero]] named Wing Commander Gutsy arrives to announce signups for the RHPS will begin the next day in [[Trafalgar Square]]. Valiant encounters an uncouth pigeon named Bugsy en route to the square, and in order to escape from a pair of [[magpie]] thugs he cheated in a [[shell game]], Bugsy signs up too. The pair are assigned to Squad F along with an intellectual red pigeon named Lofty and two muscular yet dimwitted brothers named Toughwood and Tailfeather. At the [[recruit training]] facility, they are placed under Sergeant Monty's command and Valiant develops a crush on the camp's nurse, a dove named Victoria. Meanwhile, Von Talon and his falcon minions Cufflingk and Underlingk torture Mercury into revealing the message was sent from Saint Pierre in France.
Gutsy informs Monty the recruits must leave before their training is complete. Bugsy deserts, fearing for his life, but returns as Squad F departs. Their plane is damaged in an [[Anti-aircraft warfare|anti-aircraft attack]] and the squad bail outs. A technical malfunction traps Gutsy on the plane as it crash-lands.
In France, Squad F meets Charles de Girl and Rollo, two mice from the [[French Resistance]]'s Mouse Division, who lead them to Saint-Pierre. They are ordered to deliver the same message, but Von Talon's forces attack, capturing Bugsy. Unaware that Squad F followed him to his bunker hideout, Von Talon imprisons Bugsy, intending to kill him after he delivers the message to the [[Führer]]. As Squad F reunites with Gutsy, Valiant uses his short stature to infiltrate Von Talon's bunker and rescue Bugsy and Mercury. The falcons discover them during their escape, but Squad F, Mercury, and Gutsy hold off Cufflingk and Underlingk while Valiant flies to London to deliver the message, pursued by Von Talon.
With Felix and his fellow West Nestington residents' help, Valiant subdues Von Talon and successfully delivers the message, which inspires the Allies to change their invasion plans and [[Normandy landings|land in Normandy]]. Squad F receives the [[Dickin Medal]] and celebrates at the West Nestington bar, where Valiant shares a kiss with Victoria. A message is then displayed commending the animals that saved thousands of lives during World War II.

* [[Jonathan Ross]] as Big Thug
== Themes ==
''Valiant'' takes the [[Second World War]] as its backdrop, and thus the movie has various factual references to World War II. McGregor himself called it "a good old-fashioned [[war movie]]".<ref name="Valiant DVD">{{cite AV media notes |title=Valiant |title-link=Valiant (film) |orig-year=2005 |others=Gary Chapman |type=Making of Featurette |publisher=[[Vanguard Animation]] |location=London |id=EDV9307 |year=2005}}</ref> The movie's use of World War II imagery is apparent throughout; for instance, the villainous characters in the film hold obvious links to the [[Nazis]], although Nazism is never specifically mentioned, nor are Nazi symbols ever overtly visually depicted. Edited symbols are, however, discreetly inserted; for example, General Von Talon wears a large [[Reichsadler]] badge that depicts the German eagle, taken from the [[coat of arms of Germany]]. Yet this version, unlike the Hoheitszeichen (Nazi Germany's national insignia), has the eagle grasping two bones,<ref name="Valiant DVD" /> whereas the Hoheitszeichen depicts the eagle clutching a [[swastika]]. Furthermore, the film's primary [[antagonist]], Von Talon, holds specific links to [[Adolf Hitler]]. For example, Von Talon states whilst holding Mercury as a prisoner of war that he would not eat Mercury, as he is a [[vegetarian]], a direct reference to [[Adolf Hitler's vegetarianism]].<ref name="Washington Post">{{cite news |last=O'Sullivan |first=Michael |title='Valiant' Flies Over Wee Heads |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/18/AR2005081800550.html |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |date=2005-08-19 |access-date=2010-01-20}}</ref>

{{Nihongo|'''Matsuyama Kiminori'''|松山 公紀|Matsuyama Kiminori}} is a Japanese [[economist]]. He is a professor of economics at [[Northwestern University]] and, since December 2018, the chief scientific adviser of [[:en:Tokyo Foundation|the Tokyo Foundation for Policy Research]].[1] He is also an international senior fellow at the Canon Institute of Global Studies.[2] He was awarded the [[Nakahara Prize]] from the [[:en:Japanese Economic Association|Japanese Economic Association]] in 1996 and was elected a fellow of the [[:en:Econometric Society|Econometric Society]] in 1999, and a fellow of the Society for the Advancement of Economic Theory[3] in 2011.
==Early Life and Education==
Born on November 19, 1957, Matsuyama grew up in [[Bunkyō, Tokyo|Bunkyō]]-ku, [[Tokyo]]. After graduating from Seishi Elementary School, and then from [[:en:Azabu High School|Azabu High School]], he enrolled in Science Division-I of the [[University of Tokyo]], in 1976. Among those in his class in the Division was Makoto Gonokami ([[physicist]] and current president of the University of Tokyo). Matsuyama later switched to International Relations. Among those in his class there were Toyohisa Kozuki (current [[ambassador]] to [[Russia]]), [[:en:Jun Yamazaki|Jun Yamazaki]] (current ambassador to [[Singapore]], former ambassador to the [[United Nations]] and [[Sweden]]) and former LDP Diet member [[:en:Seiji Hagiwara|Seiji Hagiwara]]. It was through his studies in international relations that he came across economics for the first time. Although he passed the advanced-level [[:en:Civil service of Japan|civil service examination]] of the Japanese government in his senior year, he chose to continue his studies in economics.
After receiving his [[:en:Bachelor of Arts|BA]] in International Relations in 1980, he enrolled in the [[:en:Doctorate|doctoral]] program at the University of Tokyo’s [[Graduate school|Graduate School]] of Economics, where he studied with Ryūtarō Komiya, [[:en:Koichi Hamada|Kōichi Hamada]], [[:en:Takashi Negishi|Takashi Negishi]], and Tsuneo Ishikawa, as well as, briefly, with Motoshige Itō,[4] [[:en:Katsuhito Iwai|Katsuhito Iwai]], and Kiyohiko Nishimura.
From October 1982, he also worked as a research assistant for economist Masahiro Okuno, who was then a [[:en:Visiting scholar|visiting fellow]] at the [[Bank of Japan]]’s Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies.[5]
Matsuyama enrolled in [[Harvard University|Harvard University’s]] doctorate program in September 1983, where he studied under [[Jeffrey Sachs]], [[:en:Lawrence Summers|Lawrence Summers]], and [[:en:Greg Mankiw|Greg Mankiw]]. Classmates included [[:en:Philippe Aghion|Philippe Aghion]], [[Abhijit Banerjee]] (2019 recipient of the [[Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences]]), [[:en:Mathias Dewatripont|Mathias Dewatripont]], [[:en:Miles Kimball|Miles Kimball]], and [[Alan Krueger]]. He received a PhD in economics from Harvard in 1987.
==Career==
Matsuyama became an assistant professor of economics at Northwestern University in September 1987, associate professor in September 1991, and professor in September 1995. He spent 1991 at the [[:en:Hoover Institution|Hoover Institution]] of [[Stanford University]] as a National Fellow. He received the Nakahara Prize from the Japanese Economic Association in 1996 and became a Fellow of the Econometric Society in 1999. In addition to teaching at the [[University of Chicago]] as a visiting professor in 1993 and at [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]] in 2008,[6] he has visited many [[University|universities]] and research institutes around the world and has been invited to deliver plenary lectures and keynote speeches at various international conferences.
In 2014, he became an international senior fellow of the Canon Institute for Global Studies,[7] and in December 2018 he was appointed chief scientific adviser of the [[:en:Tokyo Foundation|Tokyo Foundation for Policy Research]]
== Research ==
Matsuyama’s main fields of research are [[international trade]] and [[macroeconomics]].[8] His thesis for a BA in [[international relations]] at the University of Tokyo was on [[foreign direct investment]] and [[multinational corporation]]s. He wrote his doctoral dissertation at Harvard University on the intertemporal approach to the current account and the game-theoretic analysis of the [[political economy]] of international [[monetary policy]] coordination and of trade and industrial policies. After joining the Northwestern faculty, he has worked extensively on such topics as international trade, [[:en:Economic growth|economic growth]], [[:en:Economic development|economic development]], [[:en:Economic inequality|income inequality]], [[:en:Structural change|structural change]], and [[:en:Goodwin model (economics)|endogenous economic fluctuations]]. He is, in his own words, “interested in understanding the mechanisms behind macroeconomic instability, structural transformation, as well as inequality across countries, regions, and households, and how they interact with credit market imperfections and product market innovations.”[9]

{{expand section}}
==== Secret court agreement ====
In 2008, Epstein had a secret agreement with court that he would get a lower court penalty. Along with a shorter jail sentence, he was allowed "custody with work release", which means that he was allowed to be outside of prison for up to 16 hours per day.<ref name="independent1" />
Epstein spent 13{{Spaces}}months in jail. After he was released, he served one year of [[house arrest]] with [[probation]], until August 2010. While he was on probation, he was allowed to travel in his plane to his private homes in [[Manhattan]] and his private island on [[Little Saint James, U.S. Virgin Islands|Little Saint James]], [[U.S. Virgin Islands]]. He was also allowed long shopping trips and to walk around [[Palm Beach, Florida|Palm Beach]] "for exercise".<ref name="county">{{cite news|url=https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/article219494920.html|work=[[Miami Herald]]|first=Julie K.|last=Brown|author-link=Julie K.

Epstein told the judge that his "main" home was in the [[U.S. Virgin Islands]]. Still, the judge ordered him to check in with the [[New York Police Department]] every 90{{Spaces}}days. Even though Epstein had been a level-three registered sex offender in New York since 2010, the New York Police Department never enforced the 90-day regulation, despite the fact that not following these rules is considered against the law.<ref name="jta.org">{{cite web|url=https://www.jta.org/2019/07/11/united-states/alan-dershowitz-helped-jeffrey-epstein-secure-his-controversial-plea-deal-he-has-no-regrets|title=Alan Dershowitz helped Jeffrey Epstein secure his controversial plea deal.

Epstein spent 13{{Spaces}}months in jail. After he was released, he served one year of [[house arrest]] with [[probation]], until August 2010.

==== Secret court agreement ====
In 2008, Epstein had a secret agreement with court that he would get a lower court penalty. Along with a shorter jail sentence, he was allowed "custody with work release", which means that he was allowed to be outside of prison for up to 16 hours per day.<ref name="independent1" />
Epstein spent 13{{Spaces}}months in jail. After he was released, he served one year of [[house arrest]] with [[probation]], until August 2010.

In July 2025, the [[Second presidency of Donald Trump|Trump Administration]] provided a lengthy video of the area outside Epstein's room around the time of his death. The video shows that nobody entered the room. [[Pam Bondi]] was asked about the "missing minute". She [[reasoning|explained]] that the [[CCTV]] system resets every night. Therefore, she stated, there is nothing to worry about concerning the missing video.<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5390069-pam-bondi-explains-epstein-video/ Bondi explains missing minute in Epstein video].

== History ==
The Prezi project (or Prezi.com) was created with the help of Kitchen Budapest and Magyar Telekom.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Prezi launched also on US market|url=https://www.telekom.hu/about_us/press_room/press_releases/2009/july_21|access-date=2026-06-06|website=www.telekom.hu}}</ref> Immediately after its launch, the company entered the international market.
During the first year, the company had virtually no funding. After 18 months in April 2009, Prezi launched in Budapest, and 5 months later opened an office in [[San Francisco]]. The founders of the company won a prize in the European competition of [[Startup company|startups]] The Europas in the nomination "Best founder and co-founder of a startup". Among investors — Sunstone Capital, TED Conferences, and Accel Partners.
A Prezi iPhone app was launched in late 2012.
In March 2014, Prezi pledged $100M in free licenses to Title 1 schools as part of the Obama administration's ConnectED program<ref>{{Cite web|last=Farr|first=Christina|date=28 February 2014|title=Adobe & Prezi commit $400M to President Obama's digital literacy program|url=https://venturebeat.com/2014/02/28/adobe-prezi-commit-400m-to-president-obamas-digital-literacy-program/|access-date=27 March 2017|website=venturebeat.com|archive-date=26 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190526012723/https://venturebeat.com/2014/02/28/adobe-prezi-commit-400m-to-president-obamas-digital-literacy-program/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
Prezi for [[Android operating system|Android]] was launched in 2015, and in June 2016.
== Products ==
Prezi is developed on [[Adobe Flash]], Adobe AIR and Django,<ref>{{Cite news|last= Halacsy|first=Peter|date=1 July 2014|title=How and why Prezi turned to JavaScript - and why it took four years|publisher=Prezi|url=https://medium.com/prezi-engineering/how-and-why-prezi-turned-to-javascript-56e0ca57d135|access-date=4 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714200200/https://medium.com/prezi-engineering/how-and-why-prezi-turned-to-javascript-56e0ca57d135|archive-date=14 July 2014}}</ref> but since 2014 it is also possible to work on [[JavaScript]].
The product has become extremely popular in education systems and among [[University|universities]]. It is used, in particular, by [[The Guardian]] and the [[TED (conference)|TED]] conference.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Prezi in the classroom|url=http://calendar.oregonstate.edu/event/63614|access-date=24 July 2012|publisher=Oregon University State University calendar|archive-date=4 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140104060322/http://calendar.oregonstate.edu/event/63614|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=3 November 2009|title=zoomintoprezi - Latest - How to create a good prezi - World Economic Forum|url=http://blog.prezi.com/2009/11/03/how-to-create-a-good-prezi-for-the-world-economic-forum/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120402080411/http://blog.prezi.com/2009/11/03/how-to-create-a-good-prezi-for-the-world-economic-forum/|archive-date=2 April 2012|access-date=5 June 2012|publisher=Blog.prezi.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=14 September 2010|title=Chris Anderson: How YouTube is driving innovation|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_962757&feature=iv&src_vid=X6Zo53M0lcY&v=LnQcCgS7aPQ|access-date=6 May 2015|via=YouTube}}</ref>
=== Platforms ===
The company runs on the [[Freemium]] model, so free users should publish their presentations publicly on the Prezi website. There is a paid service that avoids this.
Prezi Viewer is a program designed for the [[iPad]] that allows you to view presentations created on the Prezi Desktop. Up to 10 users can participate in Prezi Collaborate at the same time.
=== Nutshell ===
The entertainment application Nutshell for [[iPhone]] allows you to glue photos into a [[comics]] with moving elements.
Nutshell creates a small square clip based on three images, which can then be posted to [[Instagram]] or [[Twitter]].

== Search engine ==
When the company was created, it used [[Yahoo!]], [[Microsoft Bing]], and Wikimedia's technology. Yahoo! served as advertisements. Soon in 2018, Ecosia said it would be a privacy-friendly search engine. In the [[Privacy]] Policy it states that it would not permanently store data or use tracking services. When a search is made to a partnered website, a [[Euro]] is donated to tree replant services. From September 2023, Ecosia will be partnering with new search providers to keep improving your search experience and to have an even greater positive climate impact. From now on, you will be getting search results from both [[Microsoft Bing]] and [[Google Search|Google]], to improve your search experience.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Content and privacy changes - Ecosia Help Center|url=https://ecosia.helpscoutdocs.com/article/505-new-search-providers|access-date=2024-01-25|website=ecosia.helpscoutdocs.com|archive-date=2024-07-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240713091559/https://ecosia.helpscoutdocs.com/article/505-new-search-providers|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Ecosia was officially launched on December 7, 2009 as a search engine to plant and replant trees. By 2011, €250,000 was raised. Ecosia spent it funds in 2014 donating to the Plant a Billion Trees program. On January 23, 2020, Ecosia spent all of its funds to ReForestNow.

[[Google Chrome]], [[Firefox]], [[Safari]], [[Microsoft Edge]], and a few other browsers have the Ecosia extension that allows it to become the default search engine. Ecosia is available as an app for [[Android (operating system)|Android]] and [[iOS]].
On April 22, 2024, Ecosia launched its own Chromium-based [[web browser]] for desktop users. The company also started to promote affiliate links to collect revenue from user purchases on sites such as Amazon.

For thirty-five years he was a deputy, a member of the Chamber of Deputies (the lower house of the French [[Parliament]]). His department was [[Eure-et-Loir]]. He was twice the president (head) of the Chamber: from 1898 to 1902, and again from 1912 to 1920. From 1899 he was one of the forty members of the [[Académie française]]. On 17 January 1920 he was elected the tenth [[President of France|President of the Republic]]. He won one day after [[Georges Clemenceau]] dropped out of the race. Deschanel had beaten him in the test vote of the political groups. But soon his mind became ill. He suffered from fear and deep sadness, made worse by overwork. On 21 September of the same year he resigned (gave up the office). He had been President for only about seven months. Only [[Jean Casimir-Perier]] (1894-1895) was President for a shorter time. In January 1921 Deschanel was elected to the Senate (the upper house). He died the next year.
Most people remember him for one strange event. In the night of 23 to 24 May 1920 he fell from the presidential train, wearing only his pajamas. Newspapers and songwriters made fun of him. Later books told false stories about him. Because of this, a long and important political career was almost forgotten. But Deschanel was one of the best public speakers of his time. He was a thinker of a moderate and social Republic, and an expert in foreign policy (relations with other countries). With [[Raymond Poincaré]] and [[Louis Barthou]], he was one of the leaders of the moderate republicans, called ''progressistes''. His story shows how the [[French Third Republic|Third Republic]] worked. It also shows how hard public memory can be on men whose careers end suddenly.
== Birth and family ==
[[File:Émile Deschanel by Pierre Petit.jpg|thumb|upright|Émile Deschanel, his father, writer and politician]]
Paul Deschanel's father, Émile Deschanel (1819-1904), was a teacher and writer. His mother was not married. A lawyer, probably his real father, did not give him his name. But he paid for his education. At school Émile was a friend of the young [[Charles Baudelaire]]. He became a strong republican. When [[Napoleon III|Louis-Napoléon]] took power by force on 2 December 1851, Émile had to leave France. He went to [[Belgium]].
So Paul was born in Schaerbeek, near Brussels, in a small house in the rue de Brabant. He was born among French republicans living in exile (sent away from their country). For them, this birth was a sign of hope. [[Victor Hugo]] had asked again and again for "the little Deschanel". [[Edgar Quinet]] called the baby "the first-born of the exile". Paul spent his first four years among these men. They lived on the memory of France and on the hopes of 1848.
In 1859 Napoleon III let the exiles come back, after his victory in Italy. Émile started teaching and writing again. But he refused to promise loyalty to the Empire. So he could not teach in public schools. Paul grew up knowing that he was born outside France because of the Empire. In his home, politics, writing and the memory of exile were always present. His father's notebooks show a quick, happy and independent boy. When the Republic came, Émile was elected to the Chamber of Deputies (February 1876). So the son grew up among the politicians of the young Republic. Public speaking was his father's gift. It became the main tool of his whole career.
== Education and first government work ==
[[File:P. Deschanel 1893.png|thumb|upright|Deschanel as a young deputy (1893)]]
Paul studied literature and law. He spent a year in the army in 1873. He studied at the École libre des sciences politiques. He received his two law degrees in July 1874 and December 1875. Very young, he published serious articles: on [[François Rabelais|Rabelais]] in the ''Revue bleue'' (1875), then on [[Denis Diderot|Diderot]] and Quinet in the ''Journal des débats'' (1877). Like his father, he loved both writing and politics. He decided to keep both.
In January 1878, at twenty-two, he became ''sous-préfet'' at [[Dreux]]. (A sous-préfet represents the government in a small town.) His father's friends had helped him. Dreux is in Eure-et-Loir. This department would later send him to Parliament for thirty-five years. His letters show a young Parisian in a cold, unknown town. There he learned the political trade. He talked to farmers and landowners, and tried to win them over to the Republic. After Dreux he worked at [[Melun]] (1879). Then he was sous-préfet at [[Brest, France|Brest]] (end of 1879) and [[Meaux]] (1881). He did not enjoy this work much. His real wish was a seat in the Chamber.
In August 1881 he left government service. He ran at Dreux against Gatineau, the sitting deputy. His program was moderate: small changes to the basic laws, a return to voting by department lists, and more power for local areas. He lost. In the next years he traveled: [[Italy]] in 1880, [[Germany]] in 1884-1885. He published books about foreign questions, such as ''La Question du Tonkin'' (1883) and ''La Politique française en Océanie'' (1884). These books made him known as an expert in foreign policy.
== Deputy for Eure-et-Loir (1885-1920) ==
Two facts gave him his chance: the return of voting by department lists, and the death of Gatineau in July 1885. In October 1885 the republicans of Eure-et-Loir put the young man on their list. He was elected to the Chamber at thirty. In all, the voters elected him nine times, from 1885 to 1919. From 1889 his district was [[Nogent-le-Rotrou]]. There his support was almost complete. His opponents got very few votes. Only Dr Poupon, in 1910, gave him a real fight. Even then, Deschanel won more than 71% of the votes.
This safe seat had a strange side. He had no house in the department. He was never a mayor. From 1895 he was only a quiet member of the department council. But this position let him give all his time to national questions. His fame in Paris also helped his district. He looked after its farming interests in the hard years at the end of the 1800s.
One thing makes his story special: he was never a minister. (A minister is the head of one part of the government.) He received offers more than once. His "no" was a clear choice. He said that a failure as a minister would have "broken him at one blow". He was sure of one thing: the road to the presidency meant making no political enemies. So he chose the role of a judge between the parties, not of a man of action. Writers of his time, like [[Joseph Caillaux]], said this. Historians, like Jean-Jacques Becker, say the same: his whole career pointed toward the [[Élysée Palace|Élysée]] (the home of the President).
== His political ideas ==
[[File:Paul Deschanel 1908.jpg|thumb|upright|Deschanel in 1908]]
Deschanel was one of the moderate republicans. They were the strongest group in the Chamber in the 1890s. He was against [[socialism]] (a system in which property is owned in common). He was against the program of the Radical party. But his social ideas were very open. The left-wing newspaper ''La Petite République'' even called him in 1897 "a socialist of the property-owning classes".
The heart of his social thought was mutual help. He believed in societies where workers put money together. This money supported them in sickness, in old age and in hard times. He led national organizations of this kind. At the end of 1899 he outlined a complete program. It included free offices for finding work. It included mutual societies for schoolchildren, mothers and women. It also included insurance and old-age pensions. On taxes, he accepted a tax on yearly income. But it had to replace older taxes. It had to be measured by outward signs of wealth, such as a man's house and way of living. The smallest incomes had to be free of tax. The number of children had to be counted. Paying taxes, he said, is an act of respect for the nation.
In trade, he wanted taxes on foreign goods when French farming or industry seemed in danger. In 1891 he attacked free trade and the trade agreement of 1860 with [[England]]. In April 1897, with Raymond Poincaré, he started a national committee of trade and industry. Before it, he said France had to stop the decline of its foreign trade. It had to renew its education and use its colonies. He was a friend of the small farm. The power of a country, he said, comes from a balance between small and large property.
He also had ideas about government itself. In 1908 he proposed a written list of the rights and duties of the people who work for the government. From his first program in 1881 he wanted more power for local government. He supported proportional voting (a system that gives every party its fair share of seats). A writer said of him in 1898: "He represents almost no group but himself." That fact became his strength when the time came to be a judge over all the parties.
His greatest interest was foreign policy. "It is not power I am looking for: it is foreign policy that attracts me," he said in 1893. He traveled to see things with his own eyes. In 1891 he was in the [[United States]], sent by the government to study its political system. He visited England, [[Spain]], [[Greece]] and North [[Africa]]. In April 1912 he was in the Balkans. There King Ferdinand of [[Bulgaria]] told him his ideas about [[Constantinople]]. Even his opponents, like Caillaux, later said he had seen clearly on the questions of the East and of central [[Europe]].
== Head of the Chamber of Deputies (1898-1902) ==
[[File:M. Paul Deschanel. Président de la Chambre des députés - btv1b53237919z.jpg|thumb|upright|Deschanel as president of the Chamber of Deputies]]
The president of the Chamber held one of the most important offices of the Republic. He organized the work of the house. He played an important part in planning its business. He decided questions of order and doubtful votes. He kept debates regular and gave punishments when needed. At every government crisis, the President of the Republic asked his advice. After the President, he was the second man of the country. He was re-elected every January, so the house always kept him under its eye. Deschanel loved the ceremony of the office. This first made the deputies smile. But it was also a sign of his high idea of the office. In his secret thoughts, the chair was the doorway to the Élysée.
He had been a vice-president of the Chamber for a year and a half. Then the elections of May 1898 made his party the largest in the house. Poincaré and [[Charles Dupuy]] said no, so he was put forward. His opponent was [[Henri Brisson]], an old Radical leader and the last president of the Chamber. The vote was one of the strangest ever seen at the Palais-Bourbon. On 1 June he was elected temporary president by one vote. The count was so doubtful that he himself asked for a new vote. He won again the next day. On 9 June 1898 he was elected full president of the Chamber, by 287 votes to 277. He was forty-three. In his first speech from the chair, on 13 June, he gave his rule: "The man called to the role of a judge must silence his own preferences and rise above his very faith."<ref name="b1898">The numbers of the votes of 1, 2 and 9 June 1898 come from the newspapers of the time. They are given in Thierry Billard, ''Paul Deschanel. Le président incompris'', Perrin, Tempus, 2022, chapter 7, pages 146-152 (named below: Billard).</ref>
His first years in the chair came in the middle of the [[Dreyfus affair]]. This was the great fight about [[Alfred Dreyfus]], an army officer from a [[Jews|Jewish]] family. He had been sent to prison for a crime he did not do. The Chamber was split in two. Privately, Deschanel was against a new trial. His reason was fear for the army and for national unity, not hatred of Jews. But he never said this in public. He took no part in the attacks against Jews. He kept the rule of the chair: no opinion.
For this, both sides attacked him. Left-wing papers said his way of presiding was "shockingly one-sided". ''La Libre Parole'', [[Édouard Drumont|Drumont]]'s paper, was full of hatred against Jews. It claimed he had been paid by "the Jewish party". Others made fun of his love of ceremony, his black dress-coat, and his care to be first at every public event. Still, the Chamber re-elected him every January, with bigger and bigger numbers. In 1902 nobody even ran against him. In those years he presided over hard times. President [[Félix Faure]] died. [[Émile Loubet|Loubet]] was elected. The Dreyfus case was tried again at Rennes. The [[Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau|Waldeck-Rousseau]] government came to power. But the elections of 1902 gave power to the left. On 1 June 1902 [[Léon Bourgeois]] took the chair from him, by 303 votes to 267. The blow was hard. For him, that chair had been the last step before the Élysée.
== Writer, marriage and family ==
[[File:Paul Deschanel à l'Académie française.jpg|thumb|upright|Deschanel in the green coat of the Académie française]]
Deschanel was also a man of high society and letters, a famous name of the Paris of the [[Belle Époque]]. His elegant clothes caused much humor in the house. His friends included [[Anna de Noailles]], [[Pierre Loti]], [[Anatole France]], [[Camille Saint-Saëns|Saint-Saëns]] and [[Pierre Bonnard|Bonnard]]. In 1899, while head of the Chamber, he was elected to the Académie française. (This society of forty writers is the highest honor for a French writer.) His rivals were Émile Faguet and René Bazin. Unfriendly papers said his books were thinner than his art of pleasing. His father, a greater writer, had never been elected. In 1914 he also joined the Académie des sciences morales et politiques.
In February 1901, at forty-six, he married Germaine Brice, aged twenty-five. She was the daughter of René Brice, a deputy and businessman. The first ceremony was on 13 February, his birthday. The two witnesses were the President of the Republic, Émile Loubet, and the old writer Ernest Legouvé. The church ceremony was on 16 February at Saint-Germain-des-Prés. It was the society event of the year. The marriage was also, as often in his party, a meeting of the moderate Republic and the world of money. It brought him a million francs and a yearly income. Before, he had lived on his pay as a deputy.
They had three children: Renée-Antoinette (1902), Émile-Jean (1904) and Louis-Paul (1909). Deschanel worked hard, getting up at six every day, and watched closely over their education. Émile-Jean became a deputy for Eure-et-Loir in 1932. After 1944 he was banned from public life for voting full powers to Marshal [[Philippe Pétain|Pétain]] in 1940. Louis-Paul became a historian. He was one of the first Frenchmen killed at the front, in September 1939.
== 1913 and the return to the chair ==
After 1902 came ten quieter years. He gave big speeches on social questions and foreign policy. But the Chamber was now controlled by the left, and it was not much moved. His first real attempt at the presidency came in January 1913, at the end of [[Armand Fallières|Fallières]]'s term. At the test meeting of the left groups he received only 83 votes, far behind Poincaré, Pams and Dubost. He withdrew. Poincaré's opponents then made him an offer: to be a second candidate at Versailles. He refused a political game he found shameful. Poincaré was elected President on 17 January 1913. The pain was deep. "Fate has been mean and unfair to me," Deschanel said that summer. Newspaper attacks on both sides made things worse. For a time, they hurt his old friendship with Poincaré.<ref name="b1913">The numbers of the votes of January 1913 are from Billard. He takes them from the private papers of Alexandre Ribot and of Gheusi.</ref>
One comfort had come the year before. In May 1912, after the death of Henri Brisson, the Chamber elected him president again. He kept the chair, re-elected every January, until 1920, through the whole of [[World War I|the Great War]].
== The Chamber in the Great War ==
[[File:Affiche des discours de Paul Deschanel et Georges Clemenceau à la Chambre des Députés le 18 octobre 1918 - A15041.jpg|thumb|upright|Public print of the speeches given by Deschanel and Clemenceau at the Chamber, 18 October 1918]]
The war changed the office. Deschanel became more than a keeper of order. He defended the rights of the Chamber against a government and an army command that wanted to act alone. He wanted strong control of the war by Parliament. In January 1915 he said: "If Parliament had dared more, if it had known more, France would be better off." This separated him a little from Poincaré, who had more doubts about the houses touching army questions. From June 1916 he presided over the secret meetings of the Chamber. There the deputies learned the truth about the failed attacks. In 1917 they discovered the price in blood of General [[Robert Nivelle|Nivelle]]'s operations. It was his job to control their anger. He also spoke the words of last respect for the deputies killed at the front, from [[Émile Driant|Driant]], killed at [[Battle of Verdun|Verdun]], to Abel Ferry. And he wrote the Chamber's words of respect for the airman [[Georges Guynemer|Guynemer]], who was not a deputy.
He was one of the great public voices of the war. From 1914 to 1918 his speeches and writings spoke of national unity, of [[Alsace-Lorraine]], and of the pain of Belgium. In 1915 he spoke out against the [[Armenian genocide|mass killing of the Armenians]]. After the war these speeches were collected in a book, ''La France victorieuse''. One newspaper called him "the very voice of the fatherland". But his private notes were dark. He saw how unready France had been before 1914. He also kept deep doubts about the [[Treaty of Versailles]]. After his presidency he prepared an attack on the way the treaty had been made. Death stopped him from giving it in the Senate.
== Elected President (January 1920) ==
[[File:17-1-20, Congrès de Versailles (salle des séances) - btv1b53036083v.jpg|thumb|The two houses meeting at [[Versailles]] for the vote, 17 January 1920]]
The elections of 16 November 1919 gave France a Chamber of the right and the center. It was called "bleu horizon", after the color of the soldiers' coats. The Senate, one third of which was renewed in January 1920, stayed more to the left. It chose Léon Bourgeois as its head. Poincaré's term was ending. Most people expected Georges Clemenceau to become President. He was the old head of the war government, the "Father of Victory". But many were against him. The [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] deputies feared this old enemy of the church. A story was quietly going around, kept alive by [[Aristide Briand]]: President Clemenceau might one day be buried without a church ceremony. Part of the Radical party could not forgive his attacks on Caillaux and Malvy. The socialists were all against him. And many deputies and senators were tired of his hard ways and sharp words.
Deschanel seemed the right man for houses that wanted, with peace, to go back to the old ways. He was elected temporary head of the new Chamber on 18 December 1919. He was elected full head on 13 January 1920, in a meeting where his friends cried "À Versailles!". He played his cards quietly and well, with Briand's active help. He was kind to everyone. He had never been a "strike-breaker" (he had never sent force against striking workers). He supported fair voting systems. He gave the left of [[Édouard Herriot|Herriot]] and [[Léon Blum|Blum]] soft, unclear words about new relations with the [[Vatican City|Vatican]] (the seat of the [[Pope]]). At the same time, he let the Catholic deputies believe the opposite. On 16 January 1920, at the test meeting of the republican groups, he came out ahead of Clemenceau. Clemenceau at once withdrew. The next day, at Versailles, the two houses elected Deschanel President of the Republic, with 734 votes. No President had ever received so many. The newspapers saw national unity. Historians, with Jean-Jacques Becker, see something else: the choice of a decorative President, in the line of Fallières. It was the sign, in Becker's words, that the spirit of the Bloc national was "dead at birth". Clemenceau, deeply hurt, resigned at once. [[Alexandre Millerand]] formed the new government.<ref name="b1920">On the vote of January 1920, see Jean-Jacques Becker, ''Victoire et frustrations'', and Billard, chapter 11. The visit of Herriot and Blum is at page 281. The number of 734 votes and the words of ''Excelsior'' of 18 January 1920 are given by Billard.</ref>
== Seven months as President ==
[[File:Investiture Deschanel fév. 1920.jpg|thumb|Deschanel takes up the office of President, February 1920]]
=== A tired and sad man ===
Deschanel entered the Élysée in February 1920. He was sixty-five and worn out. Eight years at the head of a Chamber at war had been too much for his nerves. So had the fight for the Élysée, and the writing of his book on [[Léon Gambetta|Gambetta]], which had taken all his free hours. Then came a discovery. The laws of 1875, as used since [[Jules Grévy|Grévy]], gave the President almost no real power. He had pointed his whole life at this office. Now he saw that he could do almost nothing. Dark thoughts followed: he felt he was betraying the trust of Parliament. Then came physical signs: pressure on the chest, a racing heart, fear. He himself called it "a flame inside my chest".
Still, the first months were full. He presided over the meetings of Millerand's ministers, in a spring of big strikes by railway and coal workers. He went on presidential journeys. Crowds loved his simple, warm and open way. He supported a careful new start of relations with the Vatican, and later said this had been one of his own acts. But the journey to the south, in April 1920, gave a sad picture. People near him saw a man crushed by ceremony and police protection, kind one minute and fearful the next. He was a man of ideas and words. The gap between the dream of a life and the small real power of the office hurt him directly.
=== The fall from the train near Montargis (night of 23-24 May 1920) ===
[[File:Le Petit Parisien 25 mai 1920 (cropped).jpg|thumb|upright|The front page of ''Le Petit Parisien'', 25 May 1920, on the President's fall]]
The event that fixed his place in memory came on a journey to [[Montbrison, Loire|Montbrison]]. He was going there to open a monument to Reymond, a senator and airman killed in the war. Deschanel had influenza and at first refused the journey. On Sunday 23 May, at night, the special train left the Gare de Lyon. The President took a calming medicine and went to bed. The carriage was overheated. The night was stormy. His sleep was broken. About 23:10, half asleep, his mind unclear, he got up for air. With difficulty, he opened the window of his room on the train. It was a window that slides up and down, very low, with nothing to hold on to. At that moment the train slowed to about fifty kilometers per hour, because of works on the line. Deschanel leaned out and fell. He landed on the stones of the track, at kilometer 110.9, before [[Montargis]].
His face was bloody, but he had no deep wound. He walked along the rails. There he met a railway worker, André Radeau, on his night round. "I am the President of the Republic and I have fallen from the train," he said. Radeau thought he was drunk. But he took him to the house of another railwayman, Gustave Dariot. Mme Dariot washed his cuts. She only guessed that the unknown man was "a Monsieur" (a gentleman), "because his feet are clean". The train went on. At the stop of Moulins, the fifty-three people of the President's party were counted. All were there. But nobody dared to wake the fifty-fourth, the President himself. So his absence only became clear in the morning, when telegrams from the local stations caught up with the train. The government examined the facts and said it was an accident. The design of the presidential carriages had made it easier. Poincaré said the same in public, before the Senate.<ref name="bfall">The story of the fall comes from Jean Clair-Guyot (''Miroir de l'Histoire'', March 1953) and Louis Lesueur (''Historia'', May 1976). It is given again in Billard, chapter 12, together with the government statement read by Millerand.</ref>
The damage to his image was great. Some papers truly feared for the President's health. But the satirical papers (papers that make fun of people) had a great time. ''[[Le Canard enchaîné]]'' printed the song title "Mais n'te promène donc pas en pyjama" ("Do not go walking in your pajamas"). ''L'Action française'' suggested a pajama in the national colors. Singers made songs about the railwayman and the President's nightwear. A cruel remark was credited to Clemenceau: "That does not surprise me. M. Deschanel was always in a hurry to arrive." Almost the only public voice on his side was Poincaré. He said the "highest judge" of the nation should be left out of these attacks. Deschanel presided over the ministers' meeting the very next day. But he now knew that he needed complete rest. He offered to resign. Millerand refused, sure that a few months of quiet would be enough.<ref name="bpress">The words given to Clemenceau are not certain: Billard says only that they were put in his mouth, like many others. The newspaper reactions are in the same chapter; the "pajama in the national colors" is at page 308.</ref>
=== Rambouillet and the end (September 1920) ===
The summer brought no improvement. After family days in [[Normandy]], the President rested from July at the castle of [[Rambouillet]]. There his sadness grew deeper. He knew that people were saying he was mad. On 10 September 1920, at dawn, he went down into the park, half dressed. He walked into the water of a pond, up to his waist, without knowing what he was doing. A man who saw it said: "You could see he was thinking too much." The story got out at once. Some journalists protested against this hunting of a sick man. But this time, Millerand said yes.
On 21 September 1920 the President's message was read to the Chamber by Raoul Péret, and to the Senate by Léon Bourgeois. Resigning, he said, was the most cruel and the most necessary act of all. The houses sent him their respect and their good wishes. They called him a true servant of the country. On 23 September, the houses met at Versailles and elected Alexandre Millerand in his place. The laws of 1875 had no rule for a President too ill to continue. Deschanel's own free act answered the question. Whatever some books say, he was never removed from office by force.<ref name="bres">The statement of 21 September 1920 is printed in Billard, opening pages and chapter 12.</ref>
== His illness: true and false stories ==
For decades, books and papers told wild stories about the sick President. He climbed trees in front of politicians, they said. He received a foreign ambassador wearing only the red band of the [[Legion of Honour|Légion d'honneur]]. He signed government papers with the name "Napoléon". Searches were made in the national archives, under the direction of Jean Favier. They never found any such paper, any witness, or any serious print from the time. The stories are inventions. They were born after the events, and they grew from book to book.<ref name="blegend">The searches in the national archives, under Jean Favier, are given in Billard, chapter 13; see also, by the same writer, "Paul Deschanel : un fou à l'Élysée ?", ''L'Histoire'', April 1988.</ref>
The medical facts point another way. A medical thesis by Gérard Milleret (Dijon, 1981) and the work of Pierre Rentchnick on the illnesses of leaders reach the same answer. Deschanel suffered from severe anxiety and depression, caused by overwork. There was no sign of madness. The events of Montargis and Rambouillet came from short periods of mental confusion. The causes were his worn-out condition and his medicines. A paper written in 1950 by one of his doctors says the same. Deschanel himself told the abbé Mugnier that his illness was anxiety. It was made worse by the fact that "the President of the Republic can do nothing". And he got well. Three months of rest at the sanatorium (rest home) of [[Rueil-Malmaison]] put him back on his feet. [[Georges Feydeau]] and [[Maurice Ravel]] had stayed there before him. He understood very well what the event had cost him. Someone told him that being ill is nothing to be ashamed of. He answered: "For other men, no. But for a President of the Republic, yes!"<ref name="bmed">Gérard Milleret, ''Une chute peut en cacher une autre'', medical thesis, Dijon, 1981; Pierre Rentchnick, ''Ces malades qui font l'Histoire''; the doctor's paper of 10 March 1950; the private diary of the abbé Mugnier, 27 September 1921. All are taken up in Billard.</ref>
== Senator and death (1921-1922) ==
[[File:Paul Deschanel 31-12-1920.jpg|thumb|upright|Deschanel on 31 December 1920, his first public appearance after his illness]]
Well again, he refused a quiet old age. He returned to his seats at the two academies. Then he ran for the Senate in Eure-et-Loir. His first public appearance was on 31 December 1920, before the voters. The papers noted the force and clarity of his words: "From the day a cruel illness made me give up the presidency of the Republic, I have lived apart from the world. I wanted my first visit to be for you." On 9 January 1921 the department sent him to Parliament for the tenth time. This time he was a senator.
There he prepared his real comeback: a great public questioning (interpellation) of the government on foreign policy. Poincaré, now head of the government, accepted it at the end of March 1922. The text was published after his death by the ''Revue des Deux Mondes''. It was a hard attack on the way the peace had been made. Four men, he wrote, had taken into their own hands the future "of France, of Europe and of the world". They had shut the door on the smaller allied nations. This went against the very idea of open government by Parliament. The text also answered the British government of [[David Lloyd George|Lloyd George]], which painted France as a danger to peace. The fear of this speech was great. The Senate's session was closed quickly at the start of April 1922. The speech was put off for months. Deschanel never gave it. He died in Paris on 28 April 1922, of a chest illness that followed an operation. He was sixty-seven.<ref name="bsenat">The questioning was accepted by Poincaré in a letter of 30 March 1922. The text was published after his death by the ''Revue des Deux Mondes'', and discussed by Charles Maurras in ''L'Action française'' of 14 June 1922. See Billard, chapter 14.</ref>
[[File:Tombe Paul Deschanel.jpg|thumb|upright|His grave at Montparnasse, Paris]]
His funeral was on 3 May 1922, with military honors, at the church of Saint-Honoré-d'Eylau. The government was present, with Poincaré, Marshals [[Ferdinand Foch|Foch]] and Franchet d'Esperey, foreign representatives, and a large, quiet crowd. By his own wish, not one word was spoken over his grave at [[Montparnasse Cemetery|Montparnasse]]. One of the great voices of the Republic went to his grave without a single speech.
== His voice and his books ==
His fame came first from his voice. His father, himself a public lecturer, trained him from childhood. His way of speaking was rich and flowery, always carefully prepared. It was at its best on great occasions, and sometimes too much for everyday debates. A paper of 1893 described this child "nursed on eloquence", working in a room watched over by the busts of [[François-René de Chateaubriand|Chateaubriand]] and [[Voltaire]]. He was a man of letters and a politician in one.
His books follow his two interests. On foreign policy, he published early articles on [[Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord|Talleyrand]] and [[Frederick the Great|Frederick II]]. Then came ''La Question du Tonkin'' (1883), ''La Politique française en Océanie'' (1884), and works on French interests in the Pacific. On social questions and government, he published ''La République nouvelle'' and ''La Question sociale'', both in 1898, and speeches on local government, mutual help and the reform of government. The war produced ''La France victorieuse'', the collection of his war speeches (1914-1919). The years before his presidency went into his ''Gambetta''. This was the biography of one of the founders of the Republic. In Gambetta he saw a model of eloquence and love of country. The Académie française elected him in 1899 less as a great writer than as the perfect example of the lettered public man of the Third Republic.
== His place in history ==
His place in memory was built backwards. For twenty-five years he was one of the first names of French political life. He led the Chamber in the hardest hours of the Republic. But common memory now keeps another picture. He is the President who fell from a train. He is the man people said was mad. He is the main character of a funny song about a railwayman. At every presidential election, the same stories return, and most of them are false. His whole life is seen through the glass of those seven months of 1920. He had seen the danger himself: the power of ridicule to end a public man. It had ended Mac-Mahon and Félix Faure before him.
Newer work has corrected much of this. Thierry Billard's book calls Deschanel, in its subtitle, a ''président incompris'' (a misunderstood president). It took the false stories apart one by one. It gave back the picture of the able man of Parliament, the thinker of a moderate and social Republic, the head of the Chamber in two testing periods (1898-1902 and 1912-1920). The general histories of the Third Republic keep the political meaning of the vote of 1920. By choosing Deschanel instead of Clemenceau, the deputies and senators made a decision. They closed the war years. They returned to the idea of a quiet President. The crisis of September 1920 showed the weak points of that choice. So did the forced resignation of Millerand in 1924. Deschanel stood between two ages: the Republic of men of letters and position, and the democracy of the masses. He is, in the end, a special case: a man who gave his life to winning an office whose weight broke him in a few months. And history keeps, against his wish, the fall more than the long rise.

'''''Rastamouse''''' (also known as '''Rastamouse's After School Club''' since series 4) is a British animated [[children's television series|children's television programme]] on [[CBeebies]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/shows/rastamouse|access-date=26 December 2020|website=www.bbc.co.uk|title=Rastamouse - CBeebies - BBC}}</ref> The programme ran from 31 January 2011 to 15 June 2015. The show was produced by Three Stones Media and The Rastamouse Company in association with Dinamo, Little Roots, [[DHX Media]] and [[Rainbow S.p.A.]] for CBeebies.
In 2021, for the show's 10th anniversary, the official [[Facebook]] account revealed that a movie is in development and will be made in collaboration with [[DreamWorks Animation|DreamWorks]] and [[Disney]], with Reggie Yates, Sharon Duncan Brewster, William Vanderpuye, Cornell John and Lenny Henry reprising their roles from the TV series.
In May 2025, Riley Mitchell announced 4 Rastamouse video games. In that same month, he announced that a reboot will come to [[Disney+]] in October 2026. However, as of January 2026, it is currently unknown if the video games will still be released but it is possible that they are cancelled.
On 9 December 2025, a fourth series (titled 'Rastamouse's After School Club') was announced for a 2026 release, with Yates, Duncan-Brewster, Vanderpuye, John and Henry reprising their roles from the TV series.
On 22 January 2026, it was confirmed that the video games are still happening. The game will have five playable characters. The three starting characters are Rastamouse, Scratchy and Zooma. Additionally, Gladstone the Rhino and Skully the Lion are unlockable characters. The game will have three worlds, with two levels in each one.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Wheel of Names|url=https://wheelofnames.com/|access-date=2026-01-22|website=wheelofnames.com}}</ref>
On 9 February 2026, Rastamouse's After School Club released its first episode on CBeebies and [[BBC iPlayer]].<ref>{{Citation|last=MMVDBO|title=Breaking a radio.|date=2026-02-11|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItqcEWdhCfo|access-date=2026-02-12}}</ref>
In the opening credits of Rastamouse's After School Club, the [[Rainbow S.p.A.]] logo is misspelt 'Ranbow' and uses the name 'Rainbow S.r.l.' instead of 'S.p.A.'.
At the end of the first six episodes, a [[frog]] character called Julian Frogface (voiced by Lenny Henry) bursts through the Rainbow S.r.l. logo in the end credits to say his signature line: 'Howdy, y'all, I'm Julian the Eggplant, and I'm gonna be in Rastamouse's new movie!' He wears a teal marching uniform and a matching shako.
On 16 February 2026, Julian Frogface made his last appearance, saying his last line: 'It looks like there's no response available for this search. Try asking something else.'
On 17 February 2026, Julian was removed from the show in honour of [[Shrove Tuesday]].
On 19 February 2026, Rastamouse and Scratchy got married. Julian Frogface was one of the many attendees at the wedding, along with Zooma as best man, Wensley Dale as the officiant, Da Likkle Orphans as flower children, Missy D, Mixie Mouse and Signora G as bridesmaids and Bagga T, Fatz and Bandulu as groomsmen. Other attendees included Gladstone the Rhino, Skully the Lion, Gladstone Brie, Super, Frank, Half Pint, Sasha and even Zick and Elena from Monster Allergy.
On 23 February 2026, whilst Julian was on his holiday to [[Africa]], he was replaced with a [[platypus]] character called 'Marchy' (also voiced by Henry). He wears the same outfit as Julian. He shouts 'NEED A LOAN?!' at the end of every episode onwards.
On 13 April 2026, Julian Frogface returned to the end credits.
On 21 April 2026, on the final episode of Series 1, Julian said 'Onward toward Season 2!'
On 2 May 2026, Julian fell in love with Ribbit from [[The Amazing Digital Circus]].
On 11 May 2026, Julian went on holiday to Butlins in [[Bognor Regis]].
In May 2026, Julian burst through all the production logos, shouting: 'Howdy, y'all, I'm Julian the Eggplant, and I burst through every single logo because I'm the biggest star in Rastamouse's new movie!'
On 6 July 2026, Series 5 will be released and will have 52 episodes.

[[File:AirFryer Basket.jpg|thumb|Air fryer basket|175x175px]][[File:Air_fryer_interior.jpg|thumb|175px|Heating element of an air fryer]]
An '''air fryer''' is a small [[convection]] [[oven]]. It is used in a similar manner as [[deep frying]] to fry food without using as much oil.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Is Air-Frying Healthy? Here's What a Dietitian Says|url=https://www.eatingwell.com/article/7898639/is-air-frying-healthy-heres-what-a-dietitian-says/|access-date=2023-12-07|website=EatingWell|language=en|archive-date=2023-12-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231207203844/https://www.eatingwell.com/article/7898639/is-air-frying-healthy-heres-what-a-dietitian-says/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
Air fryers usually have a removable cooking basket, tray or mesh shelves where the food is placed. Air frying differs from traditional baking as it uses rapid air technology to transfer the heat from a heating element around the oven faster. This makes the cooking process quicker than normal convection ovens.<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|last=D’Costa|first=Roja|date=2021-03-11|title=What Is An Air Fryer? - Types Of Air Fryer - All Kitchen Reviews|url=https://allkitchenreviews.com/what-is-an-air-fryer-types-of-air-fryer/|access-date=2024-02-05|website=allkitchenreviews.com|language=en-US}}</ref>
Air fryers cook food that would normally be cooked in oil or roasted. The air fryer's cooking chamber [[Radiation|radiates]] heat from a [[heating element]] near the food. A fan then moves the hot air around the food. The temperature in an air fryer varies depending on the model, but the heating chamber of a typical commercial air fryer can reach 250 degrees Celsius (482 degrees Fahrenheit).<ref name="auto"/>
Air fryers have become a useful [[Kitchenware|kitchen appliance]]. With them people can make many different foods. These includes [[French fries]] and [[chicken wing]]s. This is done with about 80 percent less oil than deep frying.<ref name="auto"/>
Air fryers are increasingly popular in India for allowing cooking with much less oil, while still roasting, grilling, and baking food with good texture and flavor.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Air Fryer in India|url=https://www.dealivore.in/blog/best-air-fryer|access-date=2025-10-06|website=Dealivore|language=en-in}}</ref>
== Types of air fryers ==
There are several types of air fryer on the market today for household use.
=== Paddle ===
In this type, a paddle machine moves throughout the heating chamber to move the air around more evenly. This is more convenient for the user because other types of air fryers require manual stirring throughout to ensure that all sides are fully cooked.<ref name="auto1">{{Cite web|title=4 Types of Air Fryers|url=https://kitcheninfinity.com/kitchen/tool/appliance/air-fryer/types/|access-date=2024-02-05|website=Kitchen Infinity|language=en-US|archive-date=2024-02-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240205230918/https://kitcheninfinity.com/kitchen/tool/appliance/air-fryer/types/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
=== Cylindrical basket ===
A cylindrical basket is a small, single function air fryer that includes a drawer with a removable basket. A fan circulates from the top, and the food is cooked through holes in the basket.<ref name="auto"/> It can accommodate three quarts (2.8 liters) of food or less on average. Because of its compact size, it preheats faster than other types of air fryers.<ref name="auto1"/>
=== Countertop convection oven ===
Countertop convection ovens come with an air frying feature that work the same way as basket type air fryers.<ref name="auto"/> They usually have multiple trays or racks, so multiple things can be cooked at the same time. They hold twenty-six quarts (23.7 liters) of food on average. They are more versatile than single function type because they have multiple features like baking, rotisserie, grilling, frying, broiling, and toasting.<ref name="auto1"/>
=== Halogen ===
This type of air fryer cooks food with a [[halogen]] light from above. The heat is spread evenly throughout with a fan like other types of air fryers. This type usually looks like a large glass bowl with a hinged lid because the clear glass works as an easy and fast [[Heat conduction|heat conductor]].<ref>{{Cite web|author1=Cynthia Lawrence|date=2022-11-26|title=Air fryer vs halogen oven — which is cheaper?|url=https://www.tomsguide.com/face-off/air-fryer-vs-halogen-oven-which-is-cheaper|access-date=2024-02-05|website=Tom's Guide|language=en}}</ref>
=== Oilless turkey fryer ===
These are large, barrel shaped air fryers used to cook whole turkeys and other large amount of meat. They circulate air around the drum to cook the turkey evenly.<ref name="auto"/>[[File:Maxson's Sky Plate.png|thumb|181x181px|A frozen dinner cooked by William Maxson's Sky Plate]]
== Invention ==
=== William Maxson ===
In 1945, William Maxson partnered with the United States Navy to prepare frozen meals on passenger planes. His "Sky Plate" cooked up to six meals at the same time and weighed 35 pounds. His design used convection oven technology to circulate hot air around the food. He patented his design in 1949.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zt4DAAAAMBAJ&dq=Maxson+Food+Systems%2C+Inc.&pg=PP1|title=Popular Mechanics|last=Magazines|first=Hearst|date=April 1947|publisher=Hearst Magazines|language=en}}</ref>
=== Fred van der Weij ===
Fred van der Weij, an inventor from the Netherlands, started developing the modern air fryer in 2005 building on William Maxson's invention.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Luoma|first=Gene|date=2022-01-04|title=Who Invented the Air Fryer?|url=https://zipitclean.com/inventions-inventors/who-invented-the-air-fryer/|access-date=2023-11-29|website=Zip It Clean Inventing|language=en-US}}</ref>He took three years to develop a prototype, and his fryer, produced by [[Philips]], was introduced in 2010 at the IFA Berlin (Internationale Funkausstellung), a major consumer electronics fair in [[Berlin]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Morales|first=Christina|date=2022-01-25|title=How the Air Fryer Crisped Its Way Into America's Belly|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/25/dining/air-fryer.html|access-date=2023-09-28|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> In 2008, Weij requested a patent on his invention which was granted in 2012.<ref>{{Cite patent|number=US8299404B2|title=Apparatus for preparing food and air guide member therefor|gdate=2012-10-30|invent1=Weij|inventor1-first=Fedde Van Der|url=https://patents.google.com/patent/US8299404B2/ar}}</ref>

The '''beefalo''' is a [[fertility|fertile]] [[hybrid (biology)|hybrid]] of domestic [[cattle]] (''Bos taurus''), usually a male in [[Breeding programs|managed breeding programs]], and the [[American bison]] (''Bison bison''), usually a female in managed breeding programs.<ref name="Porter2008">{{cite book|last=Porter|first=Valerie|title=The Field Guide to Cattle|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=N6CSqgpIC0YC&pg=PA70|access-date=14 May 2015|year=2008|publisher=Voyageur Press|isbn=978-0-7603-3192-7|page=70}}</ref><ref name="Drew et al 1989">{{cite book|last1=Drew|first1=K.

Beefalo are primarily cattle in [[genetics]] and appearance, with the breed association defining a full Beefalo as one with three-eighths (37.5%) bison genetics, while animals with higher percentages of bison genetics are called "bison hybrids".<ref>{{Cite web|title=Breeds - Beefalo|url=https://www.thecattlesite.com/breeds/beef/97/beefalo/|access-date=2020-10-29|website=The Cattle Site|language=en}}</ref>
== History ==
Accidental crosses were noticed as long ago as 1749 in the [[Southern United States|Southern states]], during [[British Colonization of America|British colonization]]. Cattle and bison were first intentionally [[Crossbreed|crossbred]] during the 19th century.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Dafoe|first1=John W.|title=Domestication of the Buffalo|journal=Popular Science Monthly|date=April 1889|volume=34|url=https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Popular_Science_Monthly/Volume_34/April_1889/Domestication_of_the_Buffalo|access-date=21 March 2018}}</ref> The first deliberate attempts to cross breed bison with cattle was made by Colonel Samuel Bedson, warden of [[Stony Mountain Institution|Stony Mountain Penitentiary]], [[Winnipeg]], in 1880. Bedson bought eight bison from a captive herd of James McKay and inter-bred them with [[shorthorn|Durham cattle]]. The hybrids raised by Bedson were described by naturalist [[Ernest Thompson Seton]]:<ref name="Brower2008">{{cite book|last=Brower|first=Jennifer|title=Lost Tracks: National Buffalo Park, 1909-1939|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QGA2K51m_YQC&pg=PA132|access-date=14 May 2015|year=2008|publisher=Athabasca University Press|isbn=978-1-897425-10-7|pages=132–133}}</ref>{{quote|''The hybrid animal is [claimed] to be a great improvement on both of its progenitors, as it is more docile and a better milker than the Buffalo, but retains its hardihood, while the robe is finer, darker and more even, and the general shape of the animal is improved by the reduction of the hump and increased proportion of the hind-quarters.''}}
After seeing thousands of cattle die in a [[Kansas]] [[blizzard]] in 1886, [[Charles "Buffalo" Jones]], a co-founder of [[Garden City, Kansas|Garden City]], [[Kansas]], also worked to cross bison and cattle at a ranch near the future [[Grand Canyon National Park]], with the hope the animals could survive the harsh winters.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kshs.org/portraits/jones_charles.htm |title=Charles Jesse "Buffalo" Jones |publisher=Kshs.org |access-date=2009-10-02}}</ref> He called the result "cattalo" in 1888.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/magazine/jf05/indepth/ |title=The Story of Cattalo |publisher=canadiangeographic.ca |date=May 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050901164141/http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/magazine/jf05/indepth/ |archive-date=2005-09-01 }}</ref> [[Mossom Martin Boyd]] of [[Bobcaygeon]], [[Ontario]] first started the practice in Canada, publishing about some of his outcomes in the [[Journal of Heredity]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Boyd|first=M.

It was found early on that crossing a male bison with a domestic [[cow]] would produce few offspring, but that crossing a domestic [[bull]] with a bison cow apparently solved the problem. The female offspring proved [[Fertility|fertile]], but rarely so for the males. Although the cattalo performed well, the mating problems meant the breeder had to maintain a herd of wild and difficult-to-handle bison cows.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}}
In 1965, Jim Burnett of [[Montana]] produced a [[hybrid]] bull that was fertile.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}} Soon after, Cory Skowronek of [[California]] formed the World Beefalo Association and began marketing the hybrids as a new breed. The new name, Beefalo, was meant to separate this hybrid from the problems associated with the old cattalo hybrids. The breed was eventually set at being genetically at least five-eighths ''Bos taurus'' and at most three-eighths ''Bison bison''.
== Nutrition characteristics==
A [[United States Department of Agriculture]] study found Beefalo meat, like bison meat, is lower in [[fat]] and [[cholesterol]] than regular beef cattle.<ref name =aba>[http://www.motherearthnews.com/homesteading-and-livestock/beefalo-facts-zmaz81mazraw.aspx Beefalo Facts]</ref>
== Registration ==
In 1983, the three main Beefalo registration groups reorganized under the American Beefalo World Registry. Until November 2008, there were two Beefalo associations, the American Beefalo World Registry<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.abwr.org |title=ABWR |publisher=ABWR |access-date=2009-10-02| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20091012195541/http://www.abwr.org/| archive-date= 12 October 2009 | url-status= live}}</ref> and American Beefalo International.

== Cattalo ==
The term "cattalo" is defined by United States law as a cross of bison and cattle which have a bison appearance.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/cfrassemble.cgi?title=200409 |title=Code of Federal Regulations (9CFR352.1) rev 2004. — "Catalo or Cattalo means any hybrid animal with American bison appearance resulting from direct crossbreeding of American bison and cattle." |publisher=Access.gpo.gov |access-date=2009-10-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090826093000/http://www.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/cfrassemble.cgi?title=200409 |archive-date=August 26, 2009 }}</ref> In [[Canada]], however, the term is used for hybrids of all degrees and appearance.{{fact|date=October 2020}}
In some American states, cattalo are [[Regulation|regulated]] as "[[exotic animals]]", along with pure bison and [[deer]]. However, in most states, bison and hybrids which are raised solely for livestock (meat and sale) purposes similar to cattle, are considered [[domestic animals]] like cattle, and do not require special [[Permit|permits.]]{{cn|date=August 2020}}

[[File:Child with Apple iPad.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|A child using a [[Tablet computer|tablet]]. Circa: 2011]]
'''Generation Alpha''' ('''Gen Alpha''' for short) are the [[demography|demographic]] cohort succeeding [[Generation Z]] and are loosely defined as being born between the early 2010s to 2020s, with the exact date range currently being disputed among researchers.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2025-10-05|title=Generation Alpha {{!}} Years, Characteristics, & Facts {{!}} Britannica|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Generation-Alpha|access-date=2025-10-27|website=www.britannica.com|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2024-7-26|title=New Data from our Study on Gen Alpha

Most members of Generation Alpha are the children of late [[Generation X]] (Xennial micro– generation cuspers) and [[Millennials]].
==Definition==

==Use of media technology==
Most members of Generation Alpha are growing up using [[smartphone]]s and [[tablet computer]]s for their childhood entertainment. Many are exposed to such devices as soothing distractions or [[education]]al aids.<ref>{{cite web|title=Here's Who's Coming After Generation Z|publisher=Business Insider|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/generation-alpha-2014-7-2|access-date=August 8, 2021}}</ref> Screen time with [[baby|babies]], toddlers and preschoolers became far more popular in the mid 2010s.

===Parental Internet usage===
Generation Alpha are also being surrounded with adult [[Internet]] use starting shortly after their lives begin. The parents of Generation Alpha, mostly Millennials, are very heavy [[social media]] users.

Since they came to power again in 2021, the Taliban have reduced the freedom of women. This has affected the possibility of women to work, or to attend schools, or higher education.

[[Health care|Healthcare]] also became worse.

== Reactions ==
[[File:ProstestaMelilla2.jpg|link=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ProstestaMelilla2.jpg|thumb|Spanish people protested the incident on the street]]
Faced with the informative silence throughout the day of the events and the leaking of videos and photographs of several unconscious, neglected, bloody, crowded and dead migrants in police custody, the situation took on a lot of international media coverage. The Prime Minister of the [[:en:Government of Spain|Government of Spain]], [[:en:Pedro Sánchez|Pedro Sánchez]] ([[:en:Spanish Socialist Workers' Party|PSOE]]) justified the intervention and pointed out that “it is necessary to recognize the extraordinary work that the Moroccan Government has done in coordination with the security forces of the State of Spain for try to avoid a violent assault, it has been well-resolved by the two security forces", in addition to recognizing and thanking" the importance of having [[:en:Morocco–Spain relations|relations]] with a strategic partner such as Morocco "and pointing out the mafias as the only culprits of the events that occurred".<ref>{{Cite web|date=March 6, 2022|title=Spanish minister defends police accused of brutality at Melilla border|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/06/spanish-minister-defends-police-accused-brutality-melilla-border|access-date=June 27, 2022|website=the Guardian|language=en}}</ref> Several of the actions condemned by human rights organizations have also occurred in Spanish jurisdiction and not only in Morocco, as initially pointed out.<ref>{{Cite web|last=España|first=Amnistía Internacional|title=Amnistía Internacional: Nuevo salto con violaciones de derechos humanos en Melilla|url=https://www.es.amnesty.org/en-que-estamos/noticias/noticia/articulo/amnistia-internacional-nuevo-salto-con-violaciones-de-derechos-humanos-en-melilla/|access-date=June 27, 2022|website=www.es.amnesty.org|language=es-ES}}</ref> The [[:en:Civil Guard (Spain)|Spanish Civil Guard]] denied in statements to [[:en:Agence France-Presse|France Presse]] that it knew anything about this matter. According to Moroccan police sources, it was an action measured "by the use of very violent methods" by migrants and that they died "only by the avalanche of people" while crossing it.
Algerian President [[:en:Abdelmadjid Tebboune|Abdelmadjid Tebboune]] publicly accused Morocco of having committed "a carnage" in Melilla.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Efe|first=Agencia|title=El presidente argelino Abdelmadjid Tebboune cesa al ministro de Finanzas|url=https://www.eldebate.com/espana/20220614/presidente-argelino-cesa-ministro-finanzas.html|access-date=June 27, 2022|website=El debate}}</ref> President-elect of Colombia [[:en:Gustavo Petro|Gustavo Petro]] expressed his solidarity with the families of the "massacred victims". He also reaffirmed his commitment "to all African peoples fighting hunger and for life." Due to media pressure, the [[:en:Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Morocco|Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs]] convened an emergency meeting with representatives of African states to justify the actions alleging the violence by migrants when crossing the prison. In the case of the [[European Commission]], its spokeswoman for Foreign Affairs and Security, [[:en:Nabila Massrali|Nabila Massrali]], postulated that the European authorities had contacted the Moroccans to try to understand the event, but avoided demanding any report or research commission.
10 NGOs requested the identification and return of the remains to their families instead of a swift burial in the Sidi Salem cemetery near Nador.<ref name="elfaro" />
On June 26, hundreds of people demonstrated in Madrid, Barcelona and other Spanish cities against the "massacre" of at least 37 migrants.

He attended Loyola Academy in Illinois and graduated from the [[Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences]] at [[Northern University]],<ref name=WCoAS>{{cite web|last=Deneen|first=Nancy|title=The Animated Life of John Musker, Class of 1975|url=http://www.weinberg.northwestern.edu/alumni/crosscurrents/archive/2008-2009-fall-winter/musker.html|publisher=Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences|access-date=October 30, 2013|date=2008|archive-date=October 20, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161020173203/http://www.weinberg.northwestern.edu/alumni/crosscurrents/archive/2008-2009-fall-winter/musker.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> where he then majored in English and drew cartoons for the ''Daily Northwestern'',<ref>{{Cite book |title=Animation and America |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jhgXnXaOvlwC |publisher = Edinburgh University Press |date=2002-01-01 |isbn=978-1853312038 |language=en |first=Paul |last=Wells}}</ref> After that, he obtained his Master of Fine Arts at CALARTS, [[California Institute of the Arts]] in Santa Clarita. There he served a two-year apprenticeship with famed animator [[Frank Thomas (animator)|Frank Thomas]], a supervising animator of Disney movies such as ''[[Peter Pan (1953 movie)|Peter Pan]]'' (1953), ''[[Lady and the Tramp]]'' (1955), and ''[[The Aristocats]]'' (1970).
==Career==
Musker met Ron Clements during the production of ''[[The Fox and the Hound]]'' in 1981, where he worked as a character animator under Clements and Cliff Nordberg. Musker teamed up with Clements as story artists on ''[[The Black Cauldron (movie)|The Black Cauldron]]'' before they were removed from the project.{{sfn|Thomas|1997|p=117}}
Following the [[greenlight]]ing of Clements's pitch for an adaptation of the children's book series ''[[Basil of Baker Street]]'' by [[Eve Titus]] into an animated feature, Musker and fellow story artist [[Burny Mattinson]] were assigned as the original directors while Dave Michener was brought in as an additional director. Due to a shortened production schedule and multiple story rewrites, [[Roy E. Disney]] assigned Mattinson to serve as director/producer while Ron Clements was brought in as another director.<ref>{{cite news |last=Korkis |first=Jim |title=How Basil Saved Disney Feature Animation: Part One |url=http://travel.usatoday.com/alliance/destinations/mouseplanet/post/2011/02/How-Basil-Saved-Disney-Feature-Animation-Part-One/144296/1|newspaper=[[USA Today]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140712004433/http://travel.usatoday.com/alliance/destinations/mouseplanet/post/2011/02/How-Basil-Saved-Disney-Feature-Animation-Part-One/144296/1|date=February 23, 2011 |archive-date=July 12, 2014 |access-date=December 28, 2015}}</ref>
While working on ''[[The Great Mouse Detective]]'', newly appointed Disney CEO and chairman [[Michael Eisner]] and [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]] issued invitations to the animation staff for their first held "gong show" session. Demanding only five new ideas, Clements pitched an adaptation of [[Hans Christian Andersen]]'s ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' and a [[high-concept]] idea of ''[[Treasure Planet|Treasure Island in Space]]'', which were both rejected by Katzenberg and Eisner. The next morning, Katzenberg approached Clements and asked him to expand his initial [[Movie treatment|treatment]].{{sfn|Stewart|2005|p=95}}<ref name="icmag">{{cite web|url=https://indie-cinema.com/2024/09/interview-with-film-director-and-animation-legend-john-musker/|work=Indie Cinema Magazine|author=Diana Ringo|title=Interview with film director and animation legend John Musker|date=September 8, 2024}}</ref>
With ''The Little Mermaid'' in production in 1986, Musker joined Clements in expanding the original treatment into a twenty-page rough script, eliminating the role of the mermaid's grandmother and expanding the roles of the Merman King and the sea witch,<ref>{{Cite AV media|title=Treasures Untold: The Making of Disney's "The Little Mermaid"|medium=Documentary film|location=''The Little Mermaid: Platinum Edition'' DVD|publisher=Walt Disney Home Entertainment|year=2006}}</ref> and were later joined by [[Off-Broadway]] musical composers [[Howard Ashman]] and [[Alan Menken]] who collaborated on the song and musical score.{{sfn|Stewart|2005|p=}} Released in November 1989, ''[[The Little Mermaid (1989 movie)|The Little Mermaid]]'' was praised as a milestone in rebirth of Disney animation by movie critics and collected a domestic gross of $84 million,{{sfn|Thomas|1997|p=120}} cumulatively receiving $184.2 million worldwide.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?view2=worldwide&yr=1989&p=.htm|title=1989 Worldwide Grosses|work=[[Box Office Mojo]]|access-date=December 28, 2015}}</ref>
When work on ''The Little Mermaid'' was wrapped, Clements and Musker re-developed their idea for ''Treasure Planet'',<ref name="treasure">{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-dec-06-fi-treasure6-story.html|last1=Verrier|first1=Richard|last2=Eller|first2=Claudia|title=Disney's 'Treasure Planet' an Adventure in Losing Money|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=December 6, 2002|access-date=December 28, 2015}}</ref> but the studio still expressed disinterest. Instead, the two directors were offered three projects in development: ''[[Swan Lake]]'', ''[[The Lion King#Development|King of the Jungle]]'', and ''[[Aladdin]]''.<ref>{{cite interview|url=https://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/13/aladdin-roundtable|interviewer=Josh Labrecque|title=Everything you ever wanted to know about Aladdin|subject1=Ron Clements|subject2=John Musker|date=October 13, 2015|access-date=December 28, 2015}}</ref> The directors eventually chose the latter, desiring a wacky, faster-paced, and more contemporary mood separate from the previous Disney animated movies.<ref name="aladdin">{{cite news|last=Rhodes|first=Joe|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-11-08-ca-4-story.html|title=COVER STORY : What Would Walt Say? : The credits read Disney, but 'Aladdin' is a brand-new 'toon, an irreverent high-stakes gamble that veers sharply from tradition|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=November 8, 1992|access-date=December 28, 2015}}</ref><ref name="icmag"/>
Working from Ashman and Menken's treatment and musical score, the two delivered a [[Storyboard#Animatics|story reel]] to Katzenberg in April 1991, which was strongly disapproved.<ref name="aladdin" /> Jettisoning multiple characters and story ideas and adding [[Ted Elliott (screenwriter)|Ted Elliott]] and [[Terry Rossio]] as co-screenwriters, the production team restructured the entire story in eight days.<ref>{{Cite video | people = John Musker, Ron Clements, Eric Goldberg, Amy Pell, Ed Gombert, Terry Rossio, Ted Elliot | title = Reflections On Black Friday | location=''Aladdin: Platinum Edition''| medium = DVD | publisher = Walt Disney Home Video |date = 2004}}</ref> Released in November 1992, ''[[Aladdin (1992 Disney movie)|Aladdin]]'' received positive reviews from critics, and became the first animated movie to gross over $200 million domestically.<ref>{{cite news|last=Fox|first=David J.|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-04-21-ca-25327-story.html|title='Aladdin' Becomes a $200-Million Genie for Disney|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=April 21, 1993|access-date=December 28, 2015}}</ref>
Following work on ''Aladdin'', Clements, along with Musker, resumed their work on ''Treasure Planet'', which was again turned down by Katzenberg in 1993, who disapproved of setting the adaptation of a classic adventure tale in outer space.<ref name="treasure" /> A deal was struck with the two directors to create another commercial movie before he would approve ''Treasure Planet''. Rejecting projects in development such as ''[[Don Quixote]]'', ''[[The Odyssey]]'', and ''[[Around the World in Eighty Days]]'', they were later informed of animator Joe Haidar's pitch for a ''Hercules'' feature, and signed onto the project.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.laughingplace.com/News-PID115030-115034.asp | title=Who the hell do we get to play Hades?|publisher=Jim Hill Media|date=April 5, 2001|access-date=December 28, 2015}}</ref>
During production on ''[[Hercules (1997 movie)|Hercules]]'', in 1995, Clements and Musker signed a seven-year contract deal with the studio which stipulated following ''Hercules'', the studio would produce ''Treasure Planet'' or another project of their choosing.<ref name="treasure" />
With ''Treasure Planet'' completed in 2002, Clements and Musker later inherited ''Fraidy Cat'', which was originally a project developed by Dutch animation director Piet Kroon.<ref>{{cite news|title=Bad day in the barnyard|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-apr-05-et-lowe5-story.html|work=Los Angeles Times|date=April 5, 2004|access-date=December 28, 2015}}</ref> ''Fraidy Cat'', however, never saw its light of day, as [[David Stainton]], then-president of Walt Disney Feature Animation, refused to green-light the project.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2005/08/18/662.aspx| last=Hill | first=Jim | title=Why was the head of WDFA afraid to put "Fraidy Cat" into production?|publisher=Jim Hill Media| date=August 17, 2005 | access-date=December 28, 2015}}</ref> It was soon followed with Clements and Musker's resignation from Walt Disney Feature Animation in September 2005.<ref>{{cite web|last=Sito|first=Tom|author-link=Tom Sito|title=The Late, Great, 2D Animation Renaissance — Part 2|url=http://www.awn.com/animationworld/late-great-2d-animation-renaissance-part-2|work=[[Animation World Network]]|date=March 14, 2006|access-date=December 28, 2015}}</ref>
When [[John Lasseter]] was appointed [[chief creative officer]] over Walt Disney Feature Animation in February 2006, he invited Clements and Musker back to Disney to oversee production on ''The Frog Princess'',<ref>{{cite interview|title=An Interview with John Musker and Ron Clements|url=http://www.dvdizzy.com/princessandthefrog-interview.html|subject1=Ron Clements|subject2=John Musker|interviewer=Luke Bannano|work=DVD Dizzy|date=March 11, 2010|access-date=December 28, 2015}}</ref><ref name="icmag"/> and were officially confirmed as directors in the following July.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.awn.com/news/comic-con-sees-stars-2d-officially-back-disney|title=Comic-Con Sees Stars, 2D Officially Back at Disney|work=Animation World Network|date=July 23, 2006|access-date=December 28, 2015}}</ref> Later re-titled ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]'', the movie received positive reviews and grossed $267 million worldwide.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=princessandthefrog.htm|title=The Princess and the Frog (2009)|work=[[Box Office Mojo]]|publisher=[[Internet Movie Database|IMDb]]|access-date=December 28, 2015}}</ref>
After directing ''The Princess and the Frog'', Clements and Musker started working on an adaptation of [[Terry Pratchett]]'s ''[[Mort]]'',<ref>{{cite news|last=Connelly|first=Brendon|title=What Disney's Film Of Terry Pratchett's Mort Might Have Looked Like...

CAM (also know as Crassulacen Acid Metabolism) is a form of [[carbon fixation]] in which not much [[water]] is lost and it is a special survival strategy used by plants that live in hot and dry place.
While othe plants open their pores during the day to breathe, CAM plants do the opposite, they open their pores at night to breathe and close them during the day to save water, this allows them to survive in deserts and other places that "normal" plants would die
== water ==
All plants need carbon dioxide to make food from the air in photosynthesis, to get that plants have tiny openings in their leaves called stomata, however when these openings are open, water escapes and go to the air, in hot climates, keeping stomata open during the day causes a plant to lose their water too quickly, CAM plants solve this conflict by separating the process of gathering carbon dioxide from the process of using sunlight to make food
== How this works ==
the CAM cycle is separated in two main parts that happen at different times of the day
=== Nighttime ===
At night the air is cooler and more humid, which means less water is lost, they open their stomata to let carbon dioxide in, inside the leaf, an enzyme called PEP carboxylase grab that carbon dioxide and turns it into acid (usually malic acid), the plant stores this acid in a special storage are called the vacuole, this is similar to charging a battery
=== Daytime ===
When the sun comes up, the plant closes it's stomata tightly to lock the moisture inside, even though the pores are closed, photosynthesis can still happen, the plant take the acid stored during the night and breaks it down to release carbon dioxide inside the leaf, another enzyme called RuBiScO, then uses that carbon dioxide and energy from the sunlight to create sugars for the plant to grow, and because of this the plant can make its food without losing water
== Common CAM plants ==

- [[Pineapple]]
- [[Aloe vera|Aloe Vera]]
- [[Orchid|Orchids]]
- [[Snake Plants]]

<div style="text-align:left; padding: .4em;">
The '''First Universal Races Congress''' met in 1911 for four days at the University of London as an early effort at anti-racism. Speakers from a number of countries discussed race relations and how to improve them. The congress, with 2,100 attendees, was organised by prominent humanists of that era.

'''Updates for editors'''
* From January, edit filters [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:AbuseFilter/Access flags|can be set]] to automatically suppress their details such as rules and list of attempted edits and actions. This will help oversighters use edit filters to prevent doxxing or other suppressible material. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T290324]
* The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 12 January 2026 because of the end of year holidays. Thank you to all of the translators, and people who submitted content or feedback, this year.
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:16}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:16|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, the crash that occurred when tapping "First Steps" in the Wikipedia Android Year in Review has now been fixed, and the feature opens as expected. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T411546]
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Interface elements such as diffs and categories generated by MediaWiki used to have the attribute <code dir=ltr>data-mw="interface"</code> to distinguish from wiki content. The attribute has been replaced with <code dir=ltr>data-mw-interface=""</code>, to avoid potential conflicts with other <code dir=ltr>data-mw</code> attributes, which are generated by Parsoid. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T409187]
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.

<div style="text-align:left; padding: .4em;">
The '''Somaliland War of Independence''' was a rebellion waged by the Somali National Movement (SNM) against the ruling military junta in Somalia led by General Siad Barre lasting from its founding on 6 April 1981 and ended on 18 May 1991 when the SNM declared what was then northern Somalia independent as the Republic of Somaliland. The conflict served as the main theater of the larger Somali Rebellion that started in 1978. The conflict was in response to the harsh policies enacted by the Barre regime against the main clan family in Somaliland, the Isaaq, including a declaration of economic warfare on the clan-family. These harsh policies were put into effect shortly after the conclusion of the disastrous Ogaden War in 1978.

<div style="text-align:left; padding: .4em;">
'''Pietro Lauro''', conosciuto anche come Pietro Lauro Modonese o Pietro Lauro da Modona (Modena o dintorni, 1510 circa – Venezia, 1568 circa) è stato un traduttore, scrittore e divulgatore scientifico italiano. Nonostante non si conosca gran parte della sua biografia, fu uno dei poligrafi italiani più conosciuti del Cinquecento. La sua produzione raccoglie traduzioni dal latino, dal greco e dallo spagnolo e riguardano opere di autori classici, stranieri e protestanti. Lauro si dimostrò abile nel trattare testi con temi molto diversi, come la filosofia, l'architettura, la medicina, il giardinaggio, l'agronomia, le scienze biologiche, la storia, la teologia e l'astronomia. Si cimentò anche nella scrittura di un poema cavalleresco sullo stile di quelli spagnoli, il Polendo, sua magnum opus in questo senso.
Aderente alla Riforma protestante, sebbene le sue trasposizioni siano state oggetto di critiche già degli autori a lui contemporanei, che le giudicarono troppo letterali, rozze e imparziali, a Lauro si deve il merito di aver ultimato la traduzione in lingua volgare di numerosi testi sia classici, sia scientifici, sia epistolari. I suoi lavori ebbero una notevole diffusione, non solo tra i letterati veneziani della sua epoca, ma in tutta Italia, tanto che alcune sue traduzioni vengono ancora oggi ristampate in nuove edizioni.

* [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|The Global Watchlist]] is a MediaWiki [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalWatchlist|extension]] that lets you see your watchlists from different wikis on the same page. It was recently updated to look more like the regular [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlist]], such as preparing it for temporary accounts in IP masking (including rerouting user links to contributions pages), making page titles bold, and opening links in edit summaries and tags in new browser tabs.

Il '''volto di Palazzo Vecchio''' (conosciuto anche come L'importuno o L'inopportuno) è un incisione su pietraforte attibuita a Michelangelo Buonarroti, scolpita in una delle pietre di Palazzo Vecchio a Firenze.
Secondo le varie leggende, il profilo sarebbe stato realizzato come graffito dall'artista toscano, con soggetto un suo importunatore, un debitore, un condannato a morte o se stesso. Nel 2020, gli studiosi hanno ipotizzato possa invece trattarsi di un ritratto di Francesco Granacci, pittore amico di Michelangelo.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The tray shown on [[Special:Diff|Special:Diff]] in mobile view has been redesigned. It is now collapsed by default, and incorporates a link to undo the edit being viewed, making it easier for mobile editors and reviewers to take action while keeping the interface uncluttered. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T402297]
* [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|The Global Watchlist]] lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on one page. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalWatchlist|extension]] continues to improve — it now automatically determines the text direction (ensuring correct display of sites with unusual domain names) and shows detailed descriptions for log actions. Later this week, a new permanent link for page creations and CSS classes for each entry element will be added.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* As mentioned in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/44|October 2025 deprecation announcement]], MediaWiki Interfaces team will begin sunsetting all transform endpoints containing a trailing slash from the MediaWiki REST API the week of January 26. Changes are expected to roll out to all wikis on or before January 30th. All API users currently calling them are encouraged to transition to the non-trailing slash versions. Both endpoint variations can be found, compared, and tested using the [https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RestSandbox REST Sandbox]. If you have questions or encounter any problems, please file a ticket in Phabricator to the [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/6931/ #MW-Interfaces-Team board].
* Interactive reference documentation for the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia REST API|Wikimedia REST API]] has moved. Requests to API docs previously hosted through [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/RESTBase|RESTBase]] (e.g.: <code dir=ltr>https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/</code>) are now redirected to the [[w:en:Special:RestSandbox|REST Sandbox]].
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata Platform|WMF Wikidata Platform team]] (WDP) has published its [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Wikidata Platform team/Newsletter|January 2026 newsletter]]. It includes updates on the legacy full-graph endpoint decommissioning, the User-Agent policy change, the monthly Blazegraph migration office hours, and efforts to reduce regressions caused by the legacy endpoint shutdown.

'''Raffaello Kobayashi''', nato Raffaele Sanzio (Bari, 14 gennaio 1917 – Yokohama, 1 aprile 2011), è stato un militare italiano naturalizzato giapponese.
Sommergibilista durante la Seconda guerra mondiale, prestò servizio per tutte e tre le principali Potenze dell'Asse: Regno d'Italia, Germania nazista e Impero giapponese. Alla fine della guerra si nascose in Giappone per evitare di subire l'internamento in un campo di prigionia, divenendo poi cittadino nipponico e cambiando il proprio nome.
Prese parte all'affondamento della HMS Calypso nel 1940, primo successo italiano in campo navale nel corso del conflitto mondiale. Con l'abbattimento di un bombardiere statunitense il 22 agosto 1945, otto giorni dopo il discorso di resa del Giappone alle potenze alleate della seconda guerra mondiale, a bordo del Comandante Cappellini, sarebbe stata l'ultima persona in assoluto a mettere fuori combattimento un velivolo degli Alleati nella stessa guerra.

* Wikimedia Foundation invites comments on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Year1 Reflections and Proposed Way Forward 2026 Update|proposed future]] of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council|Product and Technology Advisory Council]] until 28 February.
* All users with registered accounts can now use passkeys for [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Two-factor authentication|two-factor authentication]] (2FA). Passkeys are a simple way to log in without using a second device. They verify the user's identity using a fingerprint, face scan, or a PIN code. To set up a passkey, first set up a regular 2FA method. Currently, to log in with a passkey, users must also use a password. Later this quarter, passwordless login will allow users to log in with a single click and a passkey. Users with advanced rights will also be required to have 2FA enabled. This is part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Account Security|Account Security]] project.
* Unregistered contributors on blocked IPs or blocked IP ranges can now interact on-wiki to appeal a block by creating a temporary account to appeal a block on the user talk page, unless the "prevent this user from editing their own talk page" is enabled. This solves the problem of logged-out users unable to use the default unblock process via user talk page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T398673]

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T332385]
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* A new AbuseFilter variable, <code>account_type</code>, has been added to provide a reliable way to determine the account type being created in the <code>createaccount</code> and <code>autocreateaccount</code> actions. As part of this change, the variable <code>accountname</code> has been renamed to <code>account_name</code>, and <code>accountname</code> is now deprecated. Edit filter managers should update any filters that use hardcoded account type checks or the deprecated variable. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T414049]
* Image thumbnails that are requested in non-standard sizes, and using non-standard methods such as direct requests to <code dir=ltr><nowiki>upload.wikimedia.org/…</nowiki></code> will stop working in the near future. This change is to prevent ongoing external abuse by web-scrapers and bots. Some users with custom CSS/JS, Interface Admins who can fix gadgets and local skins, and Tool-authors, will need to update their code to use standard thumbnail sizes. [[phab:T414805|Details, search-links, and examples of how to fix them, are available in the task]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[File:Maki-gift-15.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] Logged-in contributors who manage large or complex watchlists can now organise and filter watched pages in ways that improve their workflows with the new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Watchlist labels|Watchlist labels]] feature. By adding custom labels (for example: pages you created, pages being monitored for vandalism, or discussion pages) users can more quickly identify what needs attention, reduce cognitive load, and respond more efficiently. This improves watchlist usability, especially for highly active editors.
* A new feature available on [[Special:Contributions|Special:Contributions]] shows [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] that are likely operated by the same person, and so makes patrolling less time-consuming. Upon checking contributions of a temporary account, users with access to temporary account IP addresses can now see a view of contributions from the related temporary accounts. The feature looks up all the IPs associated with a given temporary account within the data retention period and shows all the contributions of all temporary accounts that have used these IPs. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts#February 2026: Improvements to the patroller tooling|Learn more]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415674]
* When editors preview a wikitext edit, the reminder box that they are only seeing a preview (which is shown at the top), now has a grey/neutral background instead of a yellow/warning background. This makes it easier to distinguish preview notes from actual warnings (for example, edit conflicts or problematic redirect targets), which will now be shown in separate warning or error boxes. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T414742]
* The [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|Global Watchlist]] lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on one page. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalWatchlist|extension]] continues to improve — it now properly supports more than one Wikibase site, for example both [[d:|Wikidata]] and [[testwikidata:|testwikidata]]. In addition, issues regarding text direction have been fixed for users who prefer Wikidata or other Wikibase sites in right-to-left (RTL) languages. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415440][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415458]
* The automatic "magic links" for ISBN, RFC, and PMID numbers have been [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic links|deprecated in wikitext since 2021]] due to inflexibility and difficulties with localization. Several wikis have successfully replaced RFC and PMID magic links with equivalent external links, but a template was often required to replace the functionality of the ISBN magic link. There is now a new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#isbn|built-in parser function]] <code dir=ltr><nowiki>{{#isbn}}</nowiki></code> available to replace the basic functionality of the ISBN magic link. This makes it easier for wikis who wish to migrate off of the deprecated magic link functionality to do so. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T145604]
* Two new wikis have been created:
** a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia}} in [[d:Q35401|Jju]] ([[w:kaj:|<code>w:kaj:</code>]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T413283]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* A new global user group has been created: [[{{int:grouppage-local-bot}}|{{int:group-local-bot}}]]. It will be used internally by the software to allow community bots to bypass rate limits that are applied to abusive [[w:en:Web scraping|web scrapers]]. Accounts that are approved as bots on at least one Wikimedia wiki will be automatically added to this group. It will not change what user permissions the bot has.

'''Meetings and events'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Spring 2026|MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference, Spring 2026]] will be held March 25–27 in Salt Lake City, USA.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2026/08|Translations]] are available.
'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Site Reliability Engineering|SRE Team]] will be performing a cleanup of Wikimedia's [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Etherpad|Etherpad]] instance, the web-based editor for real-time collaborative document editing. All pads will be permanently deleted after 30 April, 2026 – if there are still migration projects in progress at that point the team can revisit the date on a case by case basis. Please create local backups of any content you wish to keep, as deleted data cannot be recovered. This cleanup helps reduce database size and minimize infrastructure footprint. Etherpad will continue to support real-time collaboration, but long-term storage should not be expected. Additional cleanups may occur in the future without prior notice. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415237]
'''Updates for editors'''
* The Information Retrieval team will be launching an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Information Retrieval/Phase 1|Android mobile app experiment]] that tests hybrid search capabilities which can handle both semantic and keyword queries. The improvement of on-platform search will enable readers to find what they’re looking for directly on Wikipedia more easily. The experiment will first be launched on Greek Wikipedia in late February, followed by English, French, and Portuguese in March. [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2026/01/08/semantic-search-making-it-easier-to-find-the-information-readers-want/ Read more] on Diff blog. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Readers/Information_Retrieval]
* The Reader Growth team will run [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/WE3.10.2 Mobile Table of Contents|an experiment]] for mobile web users, that adds a table of contents and automatically expands all article sections, to learn more about navigation issues they face. The test will be available on Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Indonesian, and Vietnamese Wikipedias.
* Previously, site notices ([[{{ns:8}}:Sitenotice]] and [[{{ns:8}}:Anonnotice]]) would only render on the desktop site. Now, they will render on all platforms. Users on mobile web will now see these notices and be informed. Site administrators should be prepared to test and fix notices on mobile devices to avoid interference with articles. To opt out, interface admins can add <code dir="ltr">#siteNotice { display: none; }</code> to [[{{ns:8}}:Minerva.css]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138572][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T416644]

For example, an issue on [[Special:RecentChanges|Special:RecentChanges]] has been fixed. Previously, clicking hide in the active filters caused the "view new changes since…" button to disappear, though it should have remained visible. The button now behaves as expected. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T406339]
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* New documentation is now available to help editors debug on-site search features. It supports troubleshooting when pages do not appear in results, when ranking seems unexpected, and when you need to inspect what content is being indexed, helping make search behavior easier to understand and analyze. [[mw:Help:CirrusSearch/Debug|Learn more]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T411169]

<div style="text-align:left; padding: .4em;">
L''''elefante di Cremona''' (Asia, prima del 1228 - Parma, gennaio 1248) fu un esemplare di elefante donato nel 1228 a Federico II di Svevia da parte del sultano ayyubide al-Malik al-Kamil durante gli incontri che porteranno alla Pace di Giaffa. Usato principalmente per le manifestazioni trionfali del sovrano, l'elefante è citato da numerosi cronachisti e testimoni dell'epoca ed è noto per aver trainato il Carroccio dopo la grande vittoria delle armate di Federico II nella battaglia di Cortenuova del 1237. Rimasto a lungo nell'immaginario popolare collettivo, l'animale venne ucciso durante alcuni scontri occorsi nelle settimane immediatamente precedenti alla battaglia di Parma.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/Reference Check|Reference Check]] has been deployed to English Wikipedia, completing its rollout across all Wikipedias. The feature prompts newcomers to add a citation before publishing new content, helping reduce common citation-related reverts and improve verifiability. In A/B testing, the impact was substantial: newcomers shown Reference Check were approximately 2.2 times more likely to include a reference on desktop and about 17.5 times more likely on mobile web. [https://analytics.wikimedia.org/published/reports/editing/reference_check_ab_test_report_final_2025.html]
'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:InterwikiSorting|InterwikiSorting extension]], which allowed for the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Interwiki sorting order|sorting of interwiki links]], has been undeployed from Wikipedia. As a result, editors who had enabled interwiki link sorting in non-compact mode (full list format) will now see links reordered. The links moving forward will be listed in the alphabetical order of language code. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T253764]
* Later this week, people who are editing a page-section using the mobile visual editor, will notice a new "Edit full page" button. When tapped, you will be able to edit the entire article. This helps when the change you want to make is outside the section you initially opened. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T387175][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T409112]
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience|The Reader Experience team]] is inviting editors to assess whether dark mode should still be considered "beta" on their wiki, based on their experience of how well it functions on desktop and mobile. If the feature is deemed mature, editors can update the interface messages in <code dir=ltr>MediaWiki:skin-theme-description</code> and <code dir=ltr>MediaWiki:Vector-night-mode-beta-tag</code> to indicate that dark mode is ready and no longer considered beta.
* The improved [[mw:Wikimedia_Apps/Team/iOS/Activity_Tab|Activity tab]] which displays user-insights is now available to all users of the Wikipedia iOS app (version 7.9.0 and later). Following earlier A/B testing that showed higher account creation among users with access to the feature, it has been rolled out to 100% of users along with some updates. The Activity tab now shows your edited articles in the timeline, offers editing impact insights like contribution counts and article view trends, and customization options to improve in-app experience for users.
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:21}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:21|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|Global Watchlist]] lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on one page. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalWatchlist|extension]] that makes this possible continues to improve. The latest upgrade is the inclusion of a [[mw:Extension:GlobalWatchlist#hook|new hook]], <code dir=ltr>ext.globalwatchlist.rebuild</code>, which fires after each watchlist rebuild. This allows you to run gadgets and user scripts for the Special page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275159]

The '''Treaty of the Danish West Indies''' (Danish: Vestindiens traktat), officially the Convention between the United States and Denmark for cession of the Danish West Indies (Danish: Konventionen mellem USA og Danmark), was a 1916 treaty transferring sovereignty of the Danish West Indies from Denmark to the United States in exchange for a sum of US$25,000,000 in gold ($722 million in 2024) and a declaration from the United States that it would "not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland". It is one of the most recent permanent expansions of United States territory.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Wikipedia 25 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 25/Easter egg experiments|Birthday mode]] is now live on Betawi, Breton, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English, French, Gorontalo, Indonesian, Italian, Luxembourgish, Madurese, Sicilian, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese Wikipedias! This limited-time campaign feature celebrates 25 years of Wikipedia with a birthday mascot, Baby Globe. When turned on, Baby Globe is shown on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 25/Easter egg experiments/article configuration|~2,500 articles]], waiting to be discovered by readers. Communities can choose to turn Birthday mode on by getting consensus from their community and asking an admin to enable the feature and customize it via [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 25/Easter egg experiments#Community Configuration Demo|community configuration]] on the local wiki.
'''Updates for editors'''
* [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|Sub-referencing]], a new feature to re-use references with different details has been released to Swedish Wikipedia, Polish Wikipedia and [[:phab:T418209|a couple of other wikis]]. You can [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#test|try the feature]] on these projects or on testwiki and [https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmcloud.org/wiki/Sub-referencing betawiki]. Learnings from the first pilot wiki German Wikipedia have been [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing/Learnings|published in a report]]. Reach out to the Wikimedia Deutschland team if you are [[:m:Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#Pilot wikis|interested in becoming a pilot wiki]].
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#Paste check|Paste Check]] will become available at all Wikipedias this week. The feature prompts newcomers who are pasting text they are not likely to have written into VisualEditor to consider whether doing so risks a copyright violation. Paste Check [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/Tags|tags]] all edits where it is shown for potential review. Local administrators can configure various aspects of the feature via [[{{#special:EditChecks}}]]. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/Paste Check#A/B Experiment|Research]] across 22 wikis found that Paste Check resulted in an 18% decrease in relative reverted-edits compared to the control group. Translators can [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&group=ext-visualeditor-ve-mw-editcheck&filter=&optional=1&action=translate help to localize] this and related features.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience|Reader Experience team]] will be standardizing the user menu in the top right for all mobile users so that it is closer to the desktop experience. Currently this user menu is only visible to users with Advanced Mobile Controls (AMC) turned on. The only change is that a couple buttons previously in the left-side menu will move to the top right for users who do not have AMC turned on. This change is expected to go out March 9 and seeks to improve the user interface. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T413912]
* Starting in the week of March 2, the emails sent out when an email address was added, removed, or changed for an account will switch to a substantially nicer and clearer HTML email from the prior plaintext one. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T410807]
* Notifications are currently limited to 2,000 historic entries per user, and extend back to 2013 when the feature was released. This is going to be changed to only store Notifications from the last 5 years, but up to 10,000 of them. This will help with long-term infrastructure health and help to prevent more recent notifications from disappearing too soon. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T383948]
* The [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|Global Watchlist]] which lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on a single page continues to see improvements. The latest update improves label usage experience. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalWatchlist|extension]] now allows activating the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Language#Fallback languages|language fallback system]] for Wikidata items without labels in the viewed language, and showing those labels in the user’s preferred Wikidata language if no <code dir=ltr>uselang=</code> URL parameter is provided. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373686][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T416111]
* The Wikipedia Android team has started a beta test of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Information Retrieval/Phase 1|hybrid search]] on Greek Wikipedia. Hybrid search capabilities can handle both semantic and keyword queries enabling readers to find what they’re looking for directly on Wikipedia more easily.
* For security reasons, members of certain user groups are [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Mandatory two-factor authentication for users with some extended rights|required to have two-factor authentication]] (2FA) enabled. Currently, 2FA is required to use the group, but not to be a member of it. Given that this model still has some vulnerabilities, the situation will [[phab:T418580|gradually change in March]]. Members of these groups will be unable to disable last 2FA method on their account, and it will be impossible to add users without 2FA to these groups. Users will still be able to add new authentication methods or remove them, as long as at least one method is continuously enabled. In the second half of March, users without 2FA will be removed from these groups. This applies to: CentralNotice administrators, checkusers, interface administrators, suppressors, Wikidata staff, Wikifunctions staff, WMF Office IT and WMF Trust & Safety. Nothing will change for other users. See the linked task for deployment schedule. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T418580]

For example, the issue preventing users from creating an instance in [https://www.wikibase.cloud/ Wikibase.cloud] has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T416807]
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* To help ensure [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Product Insights/Responsible Reuse|fair use of infrastructure]], over the next month the Wikimedia Foundation will implement global API rate limits across our APIs. In early March, stricter limits will be applied to unidentified requests from outside Toolforge/WMCS and API requests that are made from web browsers. In April, higher limits will be applied to identified traffic. These limits are intentionally set as high as possible to minimise impact on the community. Bots running in Toolforge/WMCS or with the bot user right on any wiki should not be affected for now. However, all developers are advised to follow updated best practices. For more information, see [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits]].
* The Wikidata Query Service Linked Data Fragment (LDF) endpoint will be decommissioned in February. This endpoint served limited traffic, which was successfully migrated to other data access methods that were better suited to support existing use cases. The hardware used to support the LDF endpoint will be reallocated to support the ongoing backend migration efforts. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415696]
* The new Parsoid parser [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Updates|continues to be deployed to additional wikis]], improving platform sustainability and making it easier to introduce new reading and editing features. Parsoid is now the default parser on 488 WMF wikis (268 Wikipedias), now covering more than 10% of all Wikipedia page views.
* The process and criteria for [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Enterprise#Access|requesting exceptional access]] to the high volume feed of the ''Wikimedia Enterprise'' APIs (at no cost for mission-aligned usecases), [[m:Talk:Wikimedia Enterprise#Exceptional access criteria|have now been published]]. This is to provide more thorough and clearer documentation for users.
* [https://techblog.wikimedia.org/ Tech Blog], the blog dedicated to the Wikimedia technical community [https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2026/02/24/a-tech-blog-diff/ will be migrating] to [[diffblog:|Diff]], the community news and event blog. The migration should be complete in April 2026, after which new posts will be accepted for publishing. Readers will be able to access posts – old and new – on the landing page at https://diff.wikimedia.org/techblog.

'''Steens Mountain''' is a large fault-block mountain in the northwest United States, located in Harney County, Oregon. Stretching some fifty miles (80 km) north to south, on its east side it rises from the Alvord Desert at an elevation of about 4,200 feet (1,280 m) to 9,738 feet (2,968 m) at the summit. Steens Mountain is not part of a mountain range but is properly a single mountain, the largest of Oregon's fault-block mountains.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2026/11|Translations]] are available.
'''Weekly highlight'''
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|All wikis will be read-only]] for a few minutes on Wednesday, 25 March 2026 at [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1774450800 15:00 UTC]. This is for the datacenter server switchover backup tests, [[wikitech:Deployments/Yearly calendar|which happen twice a year]]. During the switchover, all Wikimedia website traffic is shifted from one primary data center to the backup data center to test availability and prevent service disruption even in emergencies.
* Last week, all wikis had 2 hours of read-only time, and extended unavailability for user-scripts and gadgets. This was due to a security incident which has since been resolved. Work is ongoing to prevent re-occurrences. For current information please see the [[m:Steward's noticeboard#Statement on Meta about today's user script security incident|post on the Stewards' noticeboard]] ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Product and Technology/Product Safety and Integrity/March 2026 User Script Incident|translations]]).
'''Updates for editors'''
* Users facing multiple blocks on mobile will now see the reasons for each block separately, instead of a generic message. This helps them understand why they are blocked and what steps they can take to resolve the issue. For example, users affected for using common VPNs (such as [[Special:MyLanguage/Apple iCloud Private Relay|iCloud Private Relay]]) will receive clearer guidance on what they need to do to start editing again. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T357118]
* Later this week, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Suggestion Mode|Suggestion Mode]] will become available as a beta feature within the visual editor at all Wikipedias. This feature proactively suggests various types of actions that people can consider taking to improve Wikipedia articles, and learn about related guidelines. The feature is locally configurable, and can also be locally expanded with custom Suggestions. Current settings can be seen at [[Special:EditChecks]] and there are [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Suggestion mode#For administrators %E2%80%93 local customization|instructions for how administrators can customize]] the links to point to local guidelines. The feature is connected to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check|Edit check]] which suggests improvements while someone is writing new content. In the future, the Editing team plans to evaluate the feature's impact with newcomers through a controlled experiment. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T404600]
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:23}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:23|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, the issue where the cursor became misaligned during the use of CodeMirror’s syntax highlighting, which makes wikitext and code easier to read, has now been fixed. This problem specifically affected users who defined a font rule in a custom stylesheet while creating a new topic with DiscussionTools. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T418793]
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* API rate limiting update: To help ensure [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Product Insights/Responsible Reuse|fair use of infrastructure]], global API rate limits will be applied this week to requests without a compliant User-Agent that originate from outside Toolforge/WMCS and to unauthenticated requests made from web browsers. Higher limits will be applied to identified traffic in April. Bots running in Toolforge/WMCS or with the bot user right on any wiki should not be affected for now. However, all developers are advised to follow updated best practices. For more information, see [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits]].
* The new GraphQL API has been released. The API was developed as a flexible alternative to select features of the Wikidata Query Service (WDQS), to improve developer experience and foster adaptability, and efficient data access. Try it out and [[d:Wikidata:Wikibase GraphQL#Feedback and development|give feedback]]. You can also [https://greatquestion.co/wikimediadeutschland/GraphQLAPI/apply sign up for usability tests].
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Unsupported Tools Working Group|PTAC Unsupported Tools Working Group]] continued improvements to [[commons:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Video2commons#|Video2Commons]] in February, with fixes addressing authentication errors, large-file handling, task queue visibility, and clearer upload behavior. Work is still ongoing in some areas, including changes related to deprecated server-side uploads. Read [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Unsupported Tools Working Group#February 2026|this update]] to learn more.
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.46/wmf.19|MediaWiki]]
'''In depth'''
* The Article Guidance team invites experienced Wikipedia editors from selected [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance/Pilot wikis and collaborators#Collaborators|pilot wikis]] and interested contributors from other Wikipedias to fill out this questionnaire which is available in [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfmLeVWnxmsCbPoI_UF2jyRcn73WRGWCVPHzerXb4Cz97X_Ag/viewform English], [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd6rzr4XXQw8r4024fE3geTPFe13M_6w7Mitj-YJi0sOlWTAw/viewform?usp=header Arabic], [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdok3-RfB18lcugYTUMGkpwmqG_8p760Wv4dCXitOXOszjUDw/viewform?usp=header Bengali], [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjTfYp4jEo0akA4B1e-Nfg3QZPCudUjhJzHzzDi6AHyAaMGA/viewform?usp=header Japanese], [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScteVoI29Aue4xc72dekk-6RYtvmMgQxzMI900UOawrFrSTWg/viewform?usp=header Portuguese], [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSetdxnYwL3ub2vqA7awCg5hJZPMIYcDPaiTe12rY9h0GYnVlw/viewform?usp=header Persian], and [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScNvfJF-Ot-4pzA4qAN771_0QDJ4Li19YcUsaTgSKW8Nc7U_Q/viewform?usp=header Turkish].

It probably wasn't best to close that discussion immediately, or in the way you closed it. Remember that RfD is based on comments and isn't a clear-cut vote. Looking at the comment now, it isn't really made on any good evidence, MSPowerUser source appears to be the only source with any actual significance, the Opentools.ai isn't really a reliable source that would relate to GNG and the Studyflix source seemingly has no relevance to the subject at all. --[[User:Ferien|Ferien]] <small>([[User talk:Ferien|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[User:Ferien/TBA|join TBA!]])</small> 12:18, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

[[File:Great hornbill (Buceros bicornis) Photograph by Shantanu Kuveskar.jpg|300px|center]]
<div style="text-align:left; padding: .4em;">
A '''casque''' is an anatomical feature found in some species of birds, reptiles, and amphibians. In birds, it is an enlargement of the bones of the upper mandible or the skull, either on the front of the face, the top of the head, or both. The casque has been hypothesized to serve as a visual cue to a bird's sex, state of maturity, or social status; as reinforcement to the beak's structure; or as a resonance chamber, enhancing calls.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2026/12|Translations]] are available.
'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror|{{int:codemirror-beta-feature-title}}]] beta feature, also known as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror 6]], has been used for wikitext syntax highlighting since November 2024. It will be promoted out of beta by May 2026 in order to bring improvements and new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror#Features|features]] to all editors who use the standard syntax highlighter. If you have any questions or concerns about promoting the feature out of beta, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help talk:Extension:CodeMirror|please share]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T259059]
* Some changes to local user groups are performed by stewards on Meta-Wiki and logged there only. Now, interwiki rights changes will be logged both on Meta-Wiki and the wiki of the target user to make it easier to access a full record of user's rights changes on a local wiki. Past log entries for such changes will be backfilled in the coming weeks. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T6055]
* On wikis using [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Flagged Revisions|Flagged Revisions]], the number of pending changes shown on [[{{#Special:PendingChanges}}]] previously counted pages which were no longer pending review, because they have been removed from the system without being reviewed, e.g. due to being deleted, moved to a different namespace, or due to wiki configuration changes. The count will be correct now. On some wikis the number shown will be much smaller than before. There should be no change to the list of pages itself. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T413016]
* Wikifunctions composition language has been rewritten, resulting in a new version of the language. This change aims to increase service stability by reducing the orchestrator's memory consumption. This rewrite also enables substantial latency reduction, code simplification, and better abstractions, which will open the door to later feature additions. Read more about [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2026-03-11|the changes]].
* Users can now sort search results alphabetically by page title. The update gives an additional option to finding pages more easily and quickly. Previously, results could be sorted by Edit date, Creation date, or Relevance. To use the new option, open 'Advanced Search' on the search results page and select 'Alphabetically' under 'Sorting Order'. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T403775]
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:28}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:28|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, the bug that prevented UploadWizard on Wikimedia Commons from importing files from Flickr has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T419263]
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* A new special page, [[{{#special:LintTemplateErrors}}]], has been created to list transcluded pages that are flagged as containing lint errors to help users discover them easily. The list is sorted by the number of transclusions with errors. For example: [[{{#special:LintTemplateErrors}}/night-mode-unaware-background-color]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170874]
* Users of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror|{{int:codemirror-beta-feature-title}}]] beta feature have been using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror]] instead of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeEditor|CodeEditor]] for syntax highlighting when editing JavaScript, CSS, JSON, Vue and Lua content pages, for some time now. Along with promoting CodeMirror 6 out of beta, the plan is to replace CodeEditor as the standard editor for these content models by May 2026. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help talk:Extension:CodeMirror|Feedback or concerns are welcome]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T419332]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror]] JavaScript modules will soon be upgraded to CodeMirror 6. Leading up to the upgrade, loading the <code dir=ltr>ext.CodeMirror</code> or <code dir=ltr>ext.CodeMirror.lib</code> modules from gadgets and user scripts was deprecated in July 2025. The use of the <code dir=ltr>ext.CodeMirror.switch</code> hook was also deprecated in March 2025. Contributors can now make their scripts or gadgets compatible with CodeMirror 6. See the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror#Gadgets and user scripts|migration guide]] for more information. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373720]
* The MediaWiki Interfaces team is expanding coverage of REST API module definitions to include [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:REST API/Extensions|extension APIs]]. REST API modules are groups of related endpoints that can be independently managed and versioned. Modules now exist for [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T414470 GrowthExperiments] and [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T419053 Wikifunctions] APIs. As we migrate extension APIs to this structure, documentation will move out of the main MediaWiki OpenAPI spec and REST Sandbox view, and will instead be accessible via module-specific options in the dropdown on the [https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RestSandbox REST Sandbox] (i.e., [[{{#Special:RestSandbox}}]], available on all wiki projects).
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto|Scribunto]] extension provides different pieces of information about the wiki where the module is being used via the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual|mw.site]] library. Starting last week, the library also provides a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#mw.site.wikiId|way]] of accessing the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Wiki ID|wiki ID]] that can be used to facilitate cross-wiki module maintenance. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T146616]

'''Etruscan sculpture''' was one of the most important artistic expressions of the Etruscan people, who inhabited the regions of Northern Italy and Central Italy between about the 9th century BC and the 1st century BC. Etruscan art was largely a derivation of Greek art, although developed with many characteristics of its own. Given the almost total lack of Etruscan written documents, a problem compounded by the paucity of information on their language—still largely undeciphered—it is in their art that the keys to the reconstruction of their history are to be found, although Greek and Roman chronicles are also of great help. Like its culture in general, Etruscan sculpture has many obscure aspects for scholars, being the subject of controversy and forcing them to propose their interpretations always tentatively, but the consensus is that it was part of the most important and original legacy of Italian art and even contributed significantly to the initial formation of the artistic traditions of ancient Rome.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Wikimedia site users can now log in without a password using passkeys. This is a secure method supported by fingerprint, facial recognition, or PIN. With this change, all users who opt for passwordless login will find it easier, faster, and more secure to log in to their accounts using any device. The new passkey login option currently appears as an autofill suggestion in the username field. An additional [[phab:T417120|"Log in with passkey" button]] will soon be available for users who have already registered a passkey. This update will improve security and user experience. The [[c:File:Passwordless_login_screencast.webm|screen recording]] demonstrates the passwordless login process step by step.
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|All wikis will be read-only]] for a few minutes on Wednesday, 25 March 2026 at [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1774450800 15:00 UTC]. This is for the datacenter server switchover backup tests, [[wikitech:Deployments/Yearly calendar|which happen twice a year]]. During the switchover, all Wikimedia website traffic is shifted from one primary data center to the backup data center to test availability and prevent service disruption even in emergencies.
'''Updates for editors'''
* Wikimedia site users can now export their notifications older than 5 years using a [[toolforge:echo-chamber|new Toolforge tool]]. This will ensure that users retain their important notifications and avoid them being lost based on the planned change to delete notifications older than 5 years, as previously announced. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T383948]
* Wikipedia editors in Indonesian, Thai, Turkish, and Simple English now have access to Special:PersonalDashboard. This is an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Moderator Tools/Dashboard|early version of an experience]] that introduces newer editors to patrolling workflows, making it easier for them to move from making edits to participating in more advanced moderation work on their project. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T402647]
* The [[Special:Block]] now has two minor interface changes. Administrators can now easily perform indefinite blocks through a dedicated radio button in the expiry section. Also, choosing an indefinite expiry provides a different set of common reasons to select from, which can be changed at: [[MediaWiki:Ipbreason-indef-dropdown]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T401823]
* Mobile editors [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments#Logged-out|at several wikis]] can now see an improved logged-out edit warning, thanks to the recent updates from the Growth team. These changes released last week are part of ongoing efforts and tests to enhance [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments|account creation experience on mobile]] and then increase participation. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T408484]
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:36}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:36|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, the bug that prevented mobile web users from seeing the block information when affected by multiple blocks has been fixed. They can now see messages of all the blocks currently affecting them when they access Wikipedia.
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Images built using Toolforge will soon get the upgraded buildpacks version, bringing support for newer language versions and other upstream improvements and fixes. If you use Toolforge Build Service, review the recent [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/cloud-announce@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EMYTA32EV2V5SQ2JIEOD2CL66YFIZEKV/ cloud-announce email] and update your build configuration as necessary to ensure your tools are compatible.

* The [https://api.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page API Portal] documentation wiki will shut down in June 2026. API keys created on the API Portal will continue to work normally. api.wikimedia.org endpoints will be deprecated gradually starting in July 2026.

'''Pulse''' was a gay bar, dance club, and nightclub in Orlando, Florida, founded in 2004 by Barbara Poma and Ron Legler. On June 12, 2016, the club was the scene of the second-deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman in U.S. history, and the second-deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil since the September 11 attacks. Forty-nine people were killed and 58 other people were injured.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Beta version of [[abstract:|Abstract Wikipedia]] a new Wikimedia project which is language-independent, was launched last week. The project allows communities to build Wikipedia articles in their native language, which can be readily accessed by other users in their own languages. The wiki is powered by instructions from Wikifunctions and also based on structured content from Wikidata. [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2026-03-26|Read more]].
'''Updates for editors'''
* The Growth team is running an A/B test to evaluate a clearer, more user-friendly message that promotes account creation on wikis. Currently when logged-out mobile users begin editing, they see a jarring warning message that can feel abrupt and discouraging. This also presents temporary account editing as the default rather than encouraging account creation. The test is running on ten Wikipedias, including Arabic, French, Spanish and German. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments#2. Improve logged-out warning message (T415160)|Read more]].
* The Wikimedia Apps team is inviting feedback on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Future of Editing on the Mobile Apps|how editing should work on the Wikipedia mobile apps]]. The discussion focuses on improving how users access editing tools when they tap "Edit". This is part of a broader effort to convert readers who develop an interest in editing, to access a more user-friendly pathway to start contributing.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]] now includes a new group goal-setting feature, enabling organizers to set and track event goals such as the number of articles created and participating contributors in real time. Similarly, participants can work toward shared targets and see their collective impact as the event unfolds. The feature is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Learn more in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Registration/Collaborative contributions#Goal setting|the documentation]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|sub-referencing feature]], which lets editors add details to an existing reference without duplicating it, will be gradually rolled out to [[phab:T414094|more wikis]] later this year. Wikis using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reference Tooltips|Reference Tooltips]] gadget are encouraged to update their version (typically at [[m:MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js|MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]] as shown [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1344408362 here]) to ensure compatibility. Other reference-related gadgets may also be affected. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T416304]
* All Wikinews editions will be closed and switched to read-only mode on 4 May 2026. Content will remain accessible, but no new edits or articles can be added. This closure was approved by the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation following extended discussions. [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Board noticeboard#Board of Trustees Approves Closure of Wikinews|Read more]].
* The [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Action API|Action API]] has had several formats for requested output. One of them, <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>format=php</nowiki></code></bdi>, is being removed soon.

A '''very-low-calorie diet''' (VLCD), also known as semistarvation diet and crash diet, is a type of diet with very or extremely low daily food energy consumption. VLCDs are defined as a diet of 800 kilocalories (3,300 kJ) per day or less. Modern medically supervised VLCDs use total meal replacements, with regulated formulations in Europe and Canada which contain the recommended daily requirements for vitamins, minerals, trace elements, fatty acids, protein and electrolyte balance.

* Following the recent implementation of global API rate limits on unidentified traffic, the Wikimedia Foundation will continue efforts to ensure [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Product Insights/Responsible Reuse|fair use of infrastructure]] by applying global limits to identified API traffic beginning the last week of April. These limits are intentionally set as high as possible to minimise impact on the community. Bots running in Toolforge/WMCS or with the bot user right on any wiki should not be affected for now. However, all developers are advised to follow updated best practices. For more information, see [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits/FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]].
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Attribution API|Attribution API]] is now available as a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Stability policy|beta]]. The API fetches information for crediting Wikimedia articles and media files wherever they are used. Reference documentation is available through the REST Sandbox special page available on all Wikimedia wikis (such as the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?api=attribution.v0-beta&title=Special%3ARestSandbox REST sandbox on English Wikipedia]). Share your feedback on the [[mw:Talk:Attribution API|project talk page]].
* There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

[[File:Platypus spur.JPG|300px|center]]
<div style="text-align:left; padding: .4em;">
The platypus is one of the few living mammals to produce venom. The venom is made in venom glands that are connected to hollow spurs on their hind legs; it is primarily made during the mating season.[1] While the venom's effects are described as extremely painful, it is not lethal to humans. Many archaic mammal groups possess similar tarsal spurs, so it is thought that, rather than having developed this characteristic uniquely, the platypus simply inherited this characteristic from its ancestors. Rather than being a unique outlier, the platypus is the last demonstration of what was once a common mammalian characteristic, and it can be used as a model for non-therian mammals and their venom delivery and properties.

'''Updates for editors'''
* There is a change in how new users are autoconfirmed that will improve anti-vandalism protection. Currently, users who have had an account for a few days and made a few edits are automatically added to the [[{{int:grouppage-autoconfirmed/{{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}}}|{{int:group-autoconfirmed}}]] group. This configuration tends to be exploited by some vandals, who create accounts and start to use them only after some time. To mitigate this, the configuration will be updated next week so that – for the purpose of becoming autoconfirmed – the account age will be counted from their first edit, instead of registration date. The numeric value of the age threshold will remain the same. This change will be deployed only to wikis which require at least one edit as part of the autoconfirmation conditions. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T418484]
* All Wikipedia users with new accounts and those who activated the "automatically enable most beta features" option in their preference can now use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/WE3.3.4 Reading lists|reading lists]] beta feature to save articles for later reading. This helps organize reading interests in one place for convenient access.

== You may be an eligible candidate for the U4C election ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Greetings,
The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee|Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C)]] seeks candidates for the 2026 election. The U4C is the global committee responsible for overseeing enforcement of the [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]]. Elections are held annually, if elected a committee member serves for two years.
This year the U4C requires candidates to hold administrator rights on at least one wiki, which is why you are being contacted as you appear to hold this right. There are other requirements, such as candidates must be at least 18 years old and may not be employed by the Wikimedia Foundation or other related chapters and affiliates. You can find more information in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Election/2026#Call_for_Candidates|call for candidates on Meta-wiki]]. Additionally, the committee's working language is English; some ability to communicate in English is required.
The election opens on 18 May, if you are eligible and interested you have until 10 May to submit your candidacy. There will be a week in between for candidates to answer questions from the community. Voting takes place privately in [[m:Special:MyLanguage/SecurePoll|SecurePoll]], successful candidates must receive at least 60% support. More information is available on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Election/2026|the 2026 Elections page]], including timelines and other candidacy information. If you read over the material and consider yourself qualified, please consider submitting your name to run for the committee. If you think someone else in your community might be interested and qualified, please encourage them to run.

The '''Kuwait National Assembly Building''' is the building that housed the National Assembly of Kuwait.
Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon in 1972, it was completed in 1982 under the direction of his son Jan. The structural design was by Max Walt. The building was seriously damaged in February 1991 when retreating Iraqi troops set it on fire but has since been restored.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance|Article guidance]] team invites experienced editors of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance/Pilot wikis and collaborators|pilot Wikipedias]]—Arabic, Bangla, Japanese, Portuguese, Persian, Turkish, Simple English, Spanish, and French—to help translate and adapt [https://b24e11a4f1.catalyst.wmcloud.org/wiki/Category:Pages_using_article_guidance sample outlines]. These outlines will guide editors in creating clear, well-structured, and policy-compliant articles when using [https://b24e11a4f1.catalyst.wmcloud.org/wiki/Special:NewArticle the feature] once it is launched in May 2026. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance#Adapting a sample outline in a Wikipedia|Simple instructions]] on how to translate and adapt the outlines are available.
'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council|Product and Technology Advisory Council]] has published [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/May 2026 draft PTAC recommendation for feedback|draft recommendations]] on a model that affiliates can follow when contributing to the technical space. Community members are invited to provide feedback on the recommendation until May 8th [[:m:Talk:Product and Technology Advisory Council/May 2026 draft PTAC recommendation for feedback|on the talk page]].
* The number of available thumbnail size preferences in MediaWiki is being reduced to three standardized options—Small (180px), Regular (250px), and Large (400px), as part of ongoing efforts to improve performance and reduce strain on thumbnail services. As a result, existing preferences will be mapped to the nearest new size (for example, smaller selections like 120px or 150px will render at 180px, while larger ones like 300px or 360px will render at 400px). The preferences interface will soon be updated to reflect these changes, and users who wish to opt out or provide feedback can do so. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T424909]
* From now on, even when a permission expires automatically, users will receive an Echo notification similar to the standard notification for permission changes. There is a difference between this and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Global reminder bot|Global reminder bot]] in that the latter reminds users a week ''before'' the rights are due to expire, so that they can renew the rights.
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:32}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:32|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, the problem where the ULS language selector in [[m:Special:Translate|Special:Translate]] would scroll vertically when it shouldn't, has been resolved. Previously, when users opened the "Translate to English" dropdown and typed certain inputs, the dialog would scroll vertically by a few pixels even when there was enough space to display all results. The dropdown no longer shifts unnecessarily when filtering languages. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T358864]
* The [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|Global Watchlist]], which lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on a single page, continues to improve. For example, watchlists for Wikibase sites such as [[:d:|Wikidata]] now support [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:EntitySchema|EntitySchema]] elements for better tracking. The Live Updates mode now refreshes the special page every 60 seconds to comply with the updated [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|global API rate limits]] for improved real-time responsiveness. Additionally, a directionality bug that displayed links as "changes 3" instead of "3 changes" in mixed-direction lists has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415450][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T424422][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T418091]
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The second phase of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|global API rate limits]] has been rolled out to reduce the [[diffblog:2026/03/26/quo-vadis-crawlers-progress-and-whats-next-on-safeguarding-our-infrastructure/|impact of AI crawlers]] and ensure fair, sustainable access to Wikimedia resources, prioritising human and mission-aligned traffic. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits#Limits|Limits]] have been shifted from per-hour to per-minute, producing smoother traffic patterns and more predictable API load. Community users are not expected to be affected, and no action is required. Early indications show some User-Agent-based requestors are adjusting behaviour, and around 64% of automated API traffic has been identified. Monitoring continues, and Wikimedia Enterprise remains available for commercial support.

The effort supports broader goals of helping readers save and organize articles for later reading, while encouraging habits that could lead to future Wikipedia contributions.
* To support a bookmark button in the Reading List beta feature, the "Tools > Action" menu has been updated to display icons, including the watch star indicator that helps editors identify temporarily watched articles. The icons now also match those used on mobile, improving consistency across platforms. The change is currently limited to the actions menu and mainly affects editors with privileged user rights.

* On English, French, Japanese, and a few other Wikipedias, there was a [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|trial of hCaptcha]], a third-party bot detection service. The trial showed that hCaptcha effectively detects and deters some bad-faith automated activity, on its own and by giving [[w:en:Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 225#Introducing SuggestedInvestigations|checkusers and stewards]] signals to look into. Because the results were positive, hCaptcha will be rolled out across all wikis over the next few weeks. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha|See the hCaptcha project page]] for technical information about the implementation and privacy protections. [[diffblog:2026/05/04/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha-part-2/|Learn more]].
* The latest Community Tech update is now available, with progress across several Community Wishlist initiatives, including Reading Lists expansion from the mobile app to the website, new language support for "Who Wrote That" and the Personal Dashboard, improvements to 3D rendering and Charts, and upcoming work on talk page sorting, audio playback, and editing workflows. The update also shares current priorities, wishlist status trends, and opportunities for community feedback on future focus areas and the Wikimedia Foundation’s 2026–2027 Annual Plan.

The Reverend '''Griffith Hughes''' (1707 – c.1758), FRS, was a Welsh naturalist, clergyman, and author. Hughes wrote The Natural History of Barbados, which included the first description of the grapefruit (also known as "The Forbidden Fruit"). His work was praised by Linnaeus, but it has also been considered a "scientific fraud".

<section begin="technews-2026-W22"/><div class="plainlinks">
Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2026/22|Translations]] are available.
'''Weekly highlight'''
* Following a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments#LOWM|successful account creation experiment]], an improved logged-out edit warning message will be deployed to all Wikimedia wikis in the first week of June. The change will only affect logged-out users on mobile web who open an editing session. The updated experience is designed to encourage account creation more clearly, while still allowing users to edit with temporary accounts. Results from the experiment showed a significant increase in account creation, with a 27% relative lift among users shown the updated message. As expected, as more people funnel into account creation, temporary accounts decreased by a relative 16%. The experiment did not show any significant changes in constructive edit rates or other monitored contributor metrics. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T424595]
'''Updates for editors'''
* For security reasons, members of certain user groups are [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Mandatory two-factor authentication for users with some extended rights|required to have two-factor authentication]] (2FA) enabled. Members of these groups will be unable to disable the last 2FA method on their account, and it will be impossible to add users without 2FA to these groups. Users will still be able to add new authentication methods or remove them, as long as at least one method is continuously enabled. In the next few weeks, users without 2FA will be removed from these groups. Notably, this applies to bureaucrats. See the linked tasks for deployment schedules. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T423119][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T423120]
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes|WMDE Technical Wishes]] will run an [[w:en:A/B testing|A/B test]] on [[:phab:T415904|10 wikis]], testing [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/References/Reference Previews|potential improvements for Reference Previews]]. The experiment will run for ~2 weeks at the end of May / beginning of June and will affect 10% of desktop readers on the participating wikis.
* After two successful experiments, the Reader Growth team is rolling out an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Image Browsing|Image Browsing]] beta feature for all Wikipedias on mobile on May 25. This means that anyone who has all beta features on by default will start to see this feature, and others can check the box to turn it on in their preferences. The beta feature will include a carousel of all an article's images at the top of the article, with controls for editors to [[mw:Readers/Reader_Growth/Image_Browsing#Phase_2.1_beta_feature|exclude images from the article's carousel or to exclude an article from the feature entirely]].
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:30}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:30|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, three dimensional STL files were being rendered incorrectly by the media viewer 3D extension which is now fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T416723]
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The legacy CSS classes <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>tleft</nowiki></code></bdi> and <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>tright</nowiki></code></bdi> have been replaced with <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>floatleft</nowiki></code></bdi> and <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>floatright</nowiki></code></bdi> as the former do not work consistently across all MediaWiki platforms, notably mobile web and mobile apps. Projects relying on these classes are encouraged to review related usage and plan for migration. Please note that <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>floatleft</nowiki></code></bdi> and <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>floatright</nowiki></code></bdi> may also be deprecated in future, although there are currently no plans to do so.

'''Umuganda''' is a national holiday in Rwanda taking place on the last Saturday of every month for mandatory nationwide community service from 08:00 to 11:00. Participation in Umuganda is required by law; failure to participate can result in a fine.
The program was most recently re-established under President Paul Kagame in 2009, having resulted in a notable improvement in the cleanliness of Rwanda. Also, there are other informal Umuganda day activities that occur in the middle of the month. These activities are initiated by either society or the government.

* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience|Reader Experience team]] is conducting an experiment to show the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists|reading lists]] feature, which is still in development, to logged-out mobile readers to test whether it encourages account creation at a higher rate compared to the watchstar button. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists#Experiment timeline|experiment]] was launched on May 18th on German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, and Urdu wikis, and it will run for a month.
* The Wikimedia Apps team released [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Explore Feed Refresh/Phase 1|Phase 1]] of the redesigned Home Feed to the Android Beta app. The new Home Feed includes a refreshed "Community" tab and a personalized "For You" tab featuring daily updated reading recommendations. The redesign is part of a broader effort to improve content discovery and create more engaging learning experiences in the Wikipedia apps.

The '''Mediterranean and Middle East theatres of World War II''' were major [[Theatre (warfare)#Theatre of operations|theatres of operations]] during the [[Second World War]].
== History ==
=== 1940 – 1941 ===
On the 10th of June 1940, [[Benito Mussolini]] (the dictator of [[Fascist Italy|Italy]]) declared war on [[French Third Republic|France]] who at that time [[Battle of France|was at war with Germany]], but France would surrender to the Axis powers and a German puppet known as [[Vichy France]] was established.
In exile, [[Charles de Gaulle]] (a French general) proclaimed [[Free France]], an Allied government-in-exile part of the Allied powers against Germany with de Gaulle as chairman of the National Committee.
On the African front, Italy invaded [[Anglo-Egyptian Sudan|Sudan]], and it did not succeed. Italy then invaded [[British Somaliland]], and succeeded. Then, Italy invaded [[Kingdom of Egypt|Egypt]] (starting the [[North African Campaign]]) and it did not succeed. After this, Italy attempted to [[Greco-Italian War|invade]] [[Kingdom of Greece|Greece]] but failed. When 1941 began, British and [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] forces invaded [[Italian East Africa]] and that would succeed (the Italian invasion of British Somaliland and the Allied invasion of Italian East Africa were both parts of the [[East African campaign (World War II)|East African campaign]]).
Meanwhile [[Kingdom of Hungary (1920–1946)|Hungary]], [[Kingdom of Romania|Romania]] and [[Tsardom of Bulgaria|Bulgaria]] [[Tripartite Pact|joined the Axis]]. [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]] joined too, but a coup had overthrown the government, so [[Nazi Germany|Germany]], [[Fascist Italy|Italy]] and [[Kingdom of Hungary (1920–1946)|Hungary]] [[Invasion of Yugoslavia|invaded Yugoslavia]], and in 10–20 days, Yugoslavia and Greece surrendered. There would be resistance all over [[Yugoslav Partisans|Yugoslavia]] and [[National Liberation Front (Greece)|Greece]] in the next 4 years, the British had sent more troops from Egypt and Greece, so Axis forces moved deeper into the Egyptian territory, but an [[Siege of Tobruk|Australian force at Tobruk]], prevented supplies from reaching the Axis army’s.
[[Kingdom of Iraq|Iraq]] set up an Axis government, so the British and [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] forces [[Anglo-Iraqi War|invaded]] Iraq (they also [[Syria–Lebanon campaign|invaded]] Vichy French-controlled [[First Syrian Republic|Syria]] and [[Lebanon]].)
On the 22nd of June 1941, [[Operation Barbarossa|Germany invaded the USSR]]. The British made a supply line to the [[Eastern Front (World War II)|Eastern Front]], but [[Pahlavi dynasty|Iran]] (a country in the supply line) supported the Axis, so [[United Kingdom|Anglo]]–[[Soviet]] forces [[Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran|invaded]] Iran.
On the 7th of December 1941, [[Attack on Pearl Harbor|Japan bombed Pearl Harbour]], which would bring the [[United States]] into the war.{{Refn|The [[United States]] entered the war in Europe and the Mediterranean when the European Axis powers declared war on the US on 11 December 1941.}}
=== 1942 – 1943 ===
In Egypt, the Axis forces were pushed back, then the Allied forces were pushed back, then after a battle at [[El Alamein]], Allied forces and the new American forces [[Operation Torch|landing]] in [[North Africa]] pushed the Axis forces out of Africa and [[Vichy France]] was invaded by the [[Axis powers]].
On the 9th of July 1943, [[Allied invasion of Sicily|Allied forces invaded Sicily]], they would [[Allied invasion of Italy|reach the main land in September]]. Meanwhile, Mussolini was ousted from power and [[Kingdom of the South|Italy]] surrendered on the 8th of September, and German forces in Italy occupied Italy and established a German puppet state, the [[Italian Social Republic]], and the [[Italian Civil War and Campaign (World War II)|Italian civil war]] began. (Germany also invaded every Italian-held area in Axis-occupied [[Europe]], including [[German occupation of Albania|Albania]], [[Montenegro]] and the Italian occupied areas of [[Hellenic State (1941–1944)|Greece]] and [[Independent State of Croatia|Croatia]].)
=== 1944 – 1945 ===
On the 17th of January 1944, [[Battle of Monte Cassino|the Battle of Monte Cassino]] began, and it lasted for 4 months with Rome liberated in June. The Allies would march up the Italian mainland, in August, Allied forces [[Operation Dragoon|landed in southern France]] and marched up in southern France, leaving the Mediterranean theatre to link up with the [[Operation Overlord|other Allied forces]] on the [[Western Front (World War II)|Western Front]] in the [[European theatre of World War II]]. Meanwhile, [[Kingdom of Romania|Romania]] changed sides on the 24 of August as well as [[Tsardom of Bulgaria|Bulgaria]] on the 9th of September.
On the 30th of September, Soviet soldiers crossed into [[Yugoslavia]], helping the [[Yugoslav Partisans|partisans]] [[Liberation of Yugoslavia|liberating Yugoslavia]]. In October, the [[United Kingdom|British]] landed in southern [[Kingdom of Greece|Greece]] to liberate the country from occupation. Meanwhile, [[Albanian partisans]] liberated Albania in November and formed a [[Democratic Government of Albania|provisional government]]. In December, [[EAM|Greek partisans]] started revolts in [[Athens]]. But the partisans would loose the British and anti-communist Greeks.
The [[Axis powers|Axis forces]] in northern Italy made a defence line called the [[Gothic Line]] to prevent the [[Western Allies|Western Allied]] forces in Italy to liberate more territory in the north. the line would be useful in some battles like the [[Battle of Garfagnana]], where [[Italian Social Republic|fascist Italian]]-[[Nazi Germany|German]] forces beat allied forces in the north-west of the country.
In March 1945, the [[Democratic Federal Yugoslavia|Yugoslavs]] formed the [[Provisional Government of the Democratic Federal Yugoslavia]] and the [[Yugoslav People's Army]]. In April, the Yugoslavs started the last offensive against the Axis, they liberated [[Sarajevo]] on the 6th of April and advanced to [[Zagreb]]. In the same month, [[Spring 1945 offensive in Italy|Allied forces advanced into Italian territory]], Mussolini tried to escape to [[Switzerland]], but he was caught by [[Italian partisans]] and was executed on the 28th, two days later, [[Hitler]] committed suicide to prevent being caught by [[Red Army|the Soviet army]] [[Battle of Berlin|surrounding Berlin]]. On the 1st of May, [[Race for Trieste|the Yugoslavs liberated Trieste]] and linked up with the [[Western Allies]] at [[Monfalcone]], that same day, the National Republican Army (the army of the [[Italian Social Republic|RSI]]) surrendered. The next day, on the 2nd, the other [[Axis powers|Axis]] forces in Italy surrendered, and on the 8th, [[German Instrument of Surrender|Germany would surrender]], ending World War II in the Mediterranean and Middle East{{Refn|[[Nazi Germany|Germany]] unconditionally surrendered on 8 May 1945 but [[Independent State of Croatia|Croatia]] still fought until the end of the [[Battle of Odžak]] on 25 May.}}.

[[File:Henry George.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Henry George]]
'''Henry George''' was an American economist who lived during the 19th century. He was born in [[Philadelphia]] in 1839 and died in [[New York City]] in 1897. George is best known for his book "[[Progress and Poverty]]", which had a big impact on economic thought and politics in America and around the world.
In "Progress and Poverty", George argued that land should be owned by the community as a whole, rather than by individuals. He believed that if land were treated as a common resource, rather than a commodity to be bought and sold, it would benefit everyone, not just the wealthy.
George's ideas became known as [[Georgism]], and they continue to be influential in modern discussions about economics and [[social justice]]. Georgism proposes a tax on the unimproved value of land, which would replace other forms of taxation and create a more equitable society.
Aside from his economic work, George was also involved in politics. He ran for mayor of [[New York City]] in 1886 on the [[United Labor Party]] ticket, and received over 30% of the vote. His campaign focused on issues of [[economic inequality]] and corruption in government.
George's ideas and legacy continue to be debated and studied to this day. His work has influenced figures as diverse as [[Winston Churchill]], [[Sun Yat-sen]], and [[Martin Luther King Jr.]]

They ended the rule of the Assad family in [[Syria]]. After the overthrow, they set up a transitional government.

== Historical Context ==
[[Ahmed al-Sharaa]] was originally part of Al-[[Al-Qaeda|Qaeda]] in Iraq. In 2012, he was the former leader of Jabhat al-Nusra, and became the leader of HTS in 2017. <ref name=":4">{{Cite journal|last1=Keser|first1=Ahmet|last2=and Fakhoury|first2=Fareed|date=2025-01-02|title=Hay'at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) from an Insurgent Group to a Local Authority: Emergence, Development and Social Support Base|url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.1080/1057610X.2022.2082833?needAccess=true&|journal=Studies in Conflict & Terrorism|volume=48|issue=1|pages=46–66|doi=10.1080/1057610X.2022.2082833|issn=1057-610X}}</ref> HTS emerged as one of the most powerful armed factions during the [[Syrian civil war]].<ref name=":4" /> Their affiliation with other [[Terrorism|terrorist]] groups made them known for their effectiveness in battle and for brutal acts. Jabhat al-Nusra (which HTS was part of) played a key role in major offensives against the Assad regime, especially in northwestern Syria, and was involved in the seizure of territory, including parts of Aleppo and later Idlib. <ref>{{Citation|last=Khalifa|first=Dareen|title=Idlib and the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham Conundrum in Syria|date=2023-07-15|url=https://academic.oup.com/book/56006/chapter/440498589|work=The Rule is for None but Allah|pages=249–264|editor-last=Cook|editor-first=Joana|edition=1|publisher=Oxford University Press|language=en|doi=10.1093/oso/9780197690390.003.0012|isbn=978-0-19-769039-0|access-date=2025-05-01|editor2-last=Maher|editor2-first=Shiraz}}</ref> The group became known for its bombings, its use of suicide attacks, and its efforts to dominate rival opposition factions through force. In 2016, the group rebranded as Jabhat Fatah al-Sham in an attempt to cut formal ties with al-Qaeda and present itself as a more locally focused Syrian movement, distancing itself from the global [[Jihad|jihadist]] image that had made it a target of Western powers. This shift was strategic, aimed at consolidating local support, reducing international pressure, and gaining legitimacy among other rebel groups and the [[civilian]] population. <ref>{{Cite book|last1=Maoz|first1=Moshe|last2=Yaniv|first2=Avner|date=2013-11-26|title=Syria Under Assad (RLE Syria)|url=https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315818948|doi=10.4324/9781315818948 |isbn=978-1-317-81839-7 }}</ref> The rebranding lead up to the formation of HTS in 2017, a merger of Jabhat Fatah al-Sham with several smaller Islamist groups.
== Leadership and Structure ==
[[File:Ahmed al-Sharaa in July 2025 (cropped).jpg|thumb|193x193px|Ahmed Al-Sharaa 2025]]
HTS is led by Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, also known as Abu Mohammad al-Julani, which is his fighter name. <ref>{{Cite magazine|last=Abouzeid|first=Rania|date=2012-12-25|title=Interview with Official of Jabhat Al-Nusra, Syria's Islamist Militia Group|language=en-US|magazine=Time|url=https://world.time.com/2012/12/25/interview-with-a-newly-designated-syrias-jabhat-al-nusra/|access-date=2025-05-01|issn=0040-781X|archive-date=2017-11-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171110212219/http://world.time.com/2012/12/25/interview-with-a-newly-designated-syrias-jabhat-al-nusra/|url-status=dead}}</ref> He is HTS´s founder and Syria's current political leader.

Overtime, HTS underwent several internal transformations distancing itself from its transnational jihadist roots to focus on local governance.<ref name=":3">{{Cite book|url=https://academic.oup.com/book/56006|title=The Rule is for None but Allah: Islamist Approaches to Governance|date=2023-07-15|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-769039-0|editor-last=Cook|editor-first=Joana|edition=1|language=en|doi=10.1093/oso/9780197690390.001.0001|editor-last2=Maher|editor-first2=Shiraz}}</ref> This shift was exemplified by the establishment of the [[Syrian Salvation Government]] (SSG) in Idlib in 2017. With its own ministries and departments, the civilian technocratic administrative body oversees governance in HTS controlled areas.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Keser|first1=Ahmet|last2=Fakhoury|first2=Fareed|date=2025-01-02|title=Hay'at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) from an Insurgent Group to a Local Authority: Emergence, Development and Social Support Base|url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1057610X.2022.2082833|journal=Studies in Conflict & Terrorism|language=en|volume=48|issue=1|pages=46–66|doi=10.1080/1057610X.2022.2082833|issn=1057-610X}}</ref> Structurally, HTS is divided into military and administrative arms, while the military and intelligence branches are firmly under HTS´s control. Their governance model, although conservative, is not extremist.<ref name=":3" /> HTS Islamist governance emphasizes the application of [[Sharia|Sharia law]] but claims to not enforce radical interpretations. In efforts to portray a more inclusive image HTS states to protect rights of non-Muslim citizens and religious minorities.<ref name=":2" />
== Relations with Internal and External Actors ==
As Syria’s current government, al-Sharaa’s administration has maintained complex relationships with both domestic and international actors, with its policies viewed as either progressive or regressive depending on the context. One major turning point in these relations occurred in 2017, when HTS bombed Damascus which killed mainly Iraqi Shia Muslims. Since then, many nations have categorized HTS as a terrorist group.<ref name=":12">{{Cite web|date=2024-12-12|title=The de facto authority in Syria is a designated terrorist group: What happens now? {{!}} UN News|url=https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/12/1158126|access-date=2025-05-01|website=news.un.org|language=en}}</ref> Most countries do not recognize or support HTS, such as the United States, [[European Union]], [[United Kingdom]].<ref name=":02" /><ref>{{Cite news|last=Furlong|first=Ray|title=Western Countries Face Dilemma Over Syria's Blacklisted New Rulers|language=en|work=RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty|url=https://www.rferl.org/a/syria-hts-terrorism-designation-west/33232662.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com|access-date=2025-05-01}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Furlong|first=Ray|title=Western Countries Face Dilemma Over Syria's Blacklisted New Rulers|language=en|work=RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty|url=https://www.rferl.org/a/syria-hts-terrorism-designation-west/33232662.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com|access-date=2025-05-01}}</ref> The United Nations (UN) also categorized HTS as a terrorist group in 2018 in a key Security Council resolution.<ref name=":12" />
Meanwhile, regional actors have continued to affirm their influence over Syria’s complex political and military landscape. Turkey, seeing an opportunity to expand its influence, backed the [[Syrian National Army]] (SNA) and continued its military operations against the Kurdish-led [[Syrian Democratic Forces]] (SDF), while offering to train Syria’s future armed forces. <ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kardaş|first=Şaban|date=2025|title=Turkey's Long Game in Syria: Moving beyond Ascendance|url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/mepo.12807|journal=Middle East Policy|language=en|volume=32|issue=1|pages=22–37|doi=10.1111/mepo.12807|issn=1475-4967}}</ref> <ref>{{Cite web|date=2025-02-13|title=The talks shaping Syria's new constitution will exclude Kurdish forces, organizers say|url=https://apnews.com/article/syria-national-dialogue-ahmad-alsharaa-hts-sdf-10e445388360ff5abe9f6bd99131302e|access-date=2025-05-01|website=AP News|language=en}}</ref> Israel intensified its presence by occupying areas in southern Syria, including the United Nations (UN) [[buffer zone]] and Mount Hermon.

Marking a notable political shift, HTS cooperates with the SDF under a March 2025 agreement, integrating SDF into national institutions. This marks a major shift from past conflict and suggests HTS is working with some parts of the broader opposition, especially against common threats like [[Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant|ISIS]]. <ref name=":02" /> However, HTS continues to clash with Turkey-backed SNA forces, particularly because of ongoing Turkish-SDF tensions.

== Current Status and Developments ==
[[File:Syrian Civil War map (August 7, 2024).svg|thumb|Military situation before the opposition offensives in late 2024, showing areas controlled by Tahrir al-Sham (white) and the Assad regime (red).]]
On the 8<sup>th</sup> of December 2024 the Assad government was removed by a group of rebel forces led by Hay ’at Tahrir al-Sham.<ref name=":0" /> Factors that influenced the collapse of the dictatorship were the Turkish support for the rebels, Russia’s attention shift to the war in Ukraine and Israeli attacks weakening Iran and Hezbollah. After these events HTS set up a transitional government and dissolved the Syrian parliament, which was dominated by the [[Baathist party]]. In January 2025 it named Ahmed al-Shaara as its interim President.<ref name=":0" /> Key demands are a new Syrian constitution, the integration of non-state armed groups into Syria's official forces, including the SDF and reunifying of Syrian territories and administrative bodies under centralized state control.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2025-02-13|title=The talks shaping Syria's new constitution will exclude Kurdish forces, organizers say|url=https://apnews.com/article/syria-national-dialogue-ahmad-alsharaa-hts-sdf-10e445388360ff5abe9f6bd99131302e|access-date=2025-05-01|website=AP News|language=en}}</ref> However HTS faces major challenges. First, there is a lack of international and national credibility and a global reluctance to engage with an HTS-led government'''.'''<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2025-03-21|title=1|url=https://doi.org/10.46632/jemm/11/1|journal=REST Journal on Emerging Trends in Modelling and Manufacturing|volume=11|issue=1 march 2025|doi=10.46632/jemm/11/1}}</ref> Secondly, Syria is still divided. Other powerful groups, like the Kurdish-led SDF and Turkish-backed rebel forces, reject HTS control over Syria. Thirdly, after years of civil war and sanctions, it has led to the economy being damaged. The future of HTS´s government therefore remains uncertain as it struggles to gain legitimacy, rebuild a fractured nation, and navigate regional and international dynamics.

==Career==
===Positions held===
Alcoff was an assistant professor of philosophy at Kalamazoo College for a year, then moved to [[Syracuse University]]. There, she taught for the next ten years. She became associate professor in 1995 and full professor in 1999. She worked in several jobs at [[Cornell University]] (1994–1995), Aarhus University (November 1999), Florida Atlantic University (Fall 2000), and Brown University (Spring 2001). She took a position as professor of philosophy and [[women's studies]] at Stony Brook University in 2002.

In February 2018, Alcoff became president of the board of directors of Hypatia, Inc.<ref name=search23Feb2018/><ref name=Weinberg24July2017/>
===Research===
Alcoff has explored various topics, including Foucault's ideas, sexual violence, [[epistemology]] politics, gender, race identity, and Latino issues.<ref name=CV/> She has authored four books: ''Real Knowing: New Versions of Coherence Theory'' (1996), ''Visible Identities: Race, Gender and the Self'' (2006), ''The Future of Whiteness'' (2015), and ''Rape and Resistance'' (2018).<ref name=CV/> Additionally, she has edited ten volumes, written numerous peer-reviewed articles, and contributed to many book chapters and encyclopedia entries.<ref name=CV/> Her article "The Problem of Speaking for Others" (1991) in ''Cultural Critique'' has been widely cited, with nearly 3000 citations according to [[Google Scholar]].<ref name=GSc>{{cite web|title=Google Scholar|url=https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=8bOBag4AAAAJ|access-date=June 21, 2020}}</ref>
In her book ''Visible Identities: Race, Gender and the Self'', Alcoff tried to give a detailed understanding of [[social identity]] by integrating her previous work in epistemology, metaphysics, and ethnic, racial, and gender politics.<ref name="ndpr1">{{cite journal|last=Sundstrom|first=Ronald|title=Visible Identities: Race, Gender and the Self (Review)|url=http://ndpr.nd.edu/news/visible-identities-race-gender-and-the-self/|journal=Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews|date=June 22, 2006}}</ref> She told that geographic location significantly influences social identity beyond other factors, although she doesn't see it as deterministic.<ref name=ndpr1/>
In her article "The Problem of Speaking for Others," Alcoff studied the difficulties of representation when someone speaks on behalf of others, using concepts from social epistemology like social location and identity. She proposes "four sets of interrogatory practices" to guide speaking for others across different social positions: firstly, individuals should question their own motives to ensure they aren't driven by a desire for control. Secondly, they should be aware of the importance of context and location, and they should know how shifting words to another context alters their meaning. Thirdly, accountability and openness to criticism are important. Lastly, individuals must consider the real effects of their words on the discourse and material conditions of those represented.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Alcoff |first1=Linda |date=Winter 1991–1992 |title=The Problem of Speaking for Others |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/1354221 |journal=Cultural Critique |volume=20 |issue=20 |pages=5–32 |doi=10.2307/1354221 |jstor=1354221 |access-date=June 14, 2021}}</ref>
==Awards and recognitions==
Alcoff got various awards, including an honorary doctorate from the University of Oslo in September 2011. She got the Frantz Fanon Prize for her book ''Visible Identities: Race, Gender and the Self'' from the Caribbean Philosophical Association in 2009. In 2005, she was recognized as a Distinguished Woman in Philosophy by the Society for Women in Philosophy. Additionally, she held the Meredith Professorship for Excellence in Teaching at Syracuse University from 1995 to 1998.<ref name=CV/> Her work in philosophy was further acknowledged when she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2023.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.amacad.org/new-members-2023 |title=New Members |author=<!--Not stated--> |date= |website=American Academy of Arts & Sciences |publisher= |access-date=2023-04-23 |quote=}}</ref>

The '''[[Balkans|Balkan]] region in [[World War II]]''' had many nations involved including [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]], [[Kingdom of Greece|Greece]], [[Kingdom of Hungary (1920–1946)|Hungary]], [[Kingdom of Romania|Romania]], [[Kingdom of Bulgaria|Bulgaria]], [[World War II by country|and other countries]] on both the [[Allies of World War II|Allied]] and [[Axis powers|Axis]] sides.
== History ==
=== 1940-1941 ===
{{Main|Greco-Italian War|Invasion of Yugoslavia}}
[[Kingdom of Greece|Greece]] was invaded by [[Kingdom of Italy (1861–1946)|Italy]] in October of 1940, but the Greeks counterattacked, and pushed through [[Albania]]. Not long after in November, [[Kingdom of Hungary (1920–1946)|Hungary]] and [[Kingdom of Romania|Romania]] joined the [[Axis powers|Axis]]. [[Kingdom of Bulgaria|Bulgaria]] joined in March.
[[Kingdom of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]] joined the Axis in March of 1941, but left after a coup, so [[Invasion of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia was invaded]] by the Axis powers. Both fell to the invasion shortly after, and resistance was formed.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2024-09-09|title=World War II - Central Europe, Balkans, 1940-41 {{!}} Britannica|url=https://www.britannica.com/event/World-War-II/Central-Europe-and-the-Balkans-1940-41|access-date=2024-09-09|website=www.britannica.com|language=en}}</ref>
=== 1944-1945 ===
The [[Soviets]] invaded Romanian territory in March 1944, and in August, [[Kingdom of Romania|Romania]] capitulated, with [[Bulgaria]] following in September. The Soviets helped the [[Yugoslav Partisans]] [[Liberation of Yugoslavia|liberate Yugoslavia]], and the British landed in Greece to liberate the country. In November, [[LANÇ|Albanian partisans]] liberated [[Albania]], and set up a [[Democratic Government of Albania|provisional government]]. Soviet forces also invaded [[Kingdom of Hungary (1920–1946)|Hungary]]. At this point, Hungary wanted to join the war against Germany, but a pro-axis coup (Operation Panzerfaust) removed [[Miklós Horthy]] (regent of Hungary) from power. And a [[Government of National Unity (Hungary)|puppet government]] was established. The fighting caught up to the Hungarian capital city, [[Budapest]], and the Soviets [[Budapest offensive|encircled]] the city and a few months later, Budapest was under control of the Soviet Union.{{Refn|Around the same time Budapest was encircled, a {{ill|Provisional National Government (Hungary)|lt=pro-soviet government|ru|Временное национальное правительство (Венгрия)}} in Hungary was formed that controlled all the areas the Soviet controlled.}}
In March, the [[Democratic Federal Yugoslavia|Yugoslavs]] formed a [[Provisional Government of the Democratic Federal Yugoslavia|Provisional Government]]. In April, the Soviets and Partisans launched a final offensive into Axis territory. [[Sarajevo]] was liberated on the 6th, and the Soviets entered [[Austria]] and entered [[Vienna]]. On the 8th of May, [[Nazi Germany|Germany]] officially surrendered. <ref>{{Cite web|title=German Surrender|url=https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/timeline-event/holocaust/1942-1945/german-forces-surrender-to-the-allies|access-date=2024-11-24|website=encyclopedia.ushmm.org|language=en}}</ref>{{Refn|The last axis forces surrendered 17 days later at the end of the [[battle of Odžak]].}}

He is the Archbishop of [[Archdiocese of Katowice|Katowice]].
== Early life ==
Wiktor Skworc was born on 19 May 1948 in [[Bielszowice]], [[Poland]]. He became a [[priest]] on 19 April 1973.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title=SKWORC Wiktor (1997-2011)|url=https://diecezja.tarnow.pl/index.php/biskupi|access-date=2024-08-01|website=diecezja.tarnow.pl|language=pl-pl|archive-date=2024-08-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240804051518/https://diecezja.tarnow.pl/index.php/biskupi|url-status=dead}}</ref>
== Career ==
In 1998, Pope [[John Paul II]] made him the [[Bishop]] of [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Tarnów|Tarnów]]. In 2011, he became the Archbishop of Katowice.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />
== Controversies ==
In 2002, Bishop Skworc handled a case involving a priest named Stanisław P. This priest was accused of [[Child sexual abuse|sexually abusing children]]. Bishop Skworc removed him from his position and sent him on leave. Later, he sent the priest to work in [[Ukraine]]. He did not inform the [[Vatican City|Vatican]] or the [[police]]. The priest abused more children in Ukraine. When he returned in 2008, Bishop Skworc gave him a job in [[Krynica-Zdrój]], where he worked with children again. In 2010, after more accusations, the bishop suspended (he could not perform his duties as a priest) the priest and banned him from working with children. In 2013, the Vatican found the priest guilty and [[Punishment|punished]] him. Bishop Skworc asked the [[Marek Jędraszewski|Archbishop of Kraków]] to investigate his actions. In 2021, the Vatican finished the investigation and found Bishop Skworc had made mistakes. He asked for a [[coadjutor bishop]] (an auxiliary [[bishop]] with the right to succeed him) and gave up some of his roles. Skworc resigned in May 2023. In December 2021, [[Pope Francis]] appointed [[Adrian Galbas]] as the coadjutor bishop.<ref>{{Cite web|last=|title=Abp.

It is produced by [[20th Century Animation]] and distributed by [[20th Century Studios]]. It will serve as a sequel to ''[[Ice Age: Collision Course]]'' (2016), the seventh overall installment in the ''[[Ice Age (franchise)|Ice Age]]'' movie series. [[Ray Romano]], [[John Leguizamo]], [[Denis Leary]], [[Simon Pegg]], and [[Queen Latifah]] will reprise their roles from the previous movie. It will be the first theatrical ''Ice Age'' movie not to be produced by [[Blue Sky Studios]], after it closed on April 10, 2021.
''Ice Age: Boiling Point'' is scheduled to be released in the United States on February 5, 2027.
== Cast ==
* [[Ray Romano]] as Manny, a [[woolly mammoth]] and the leader of the Herd.
* [[John Leguizamo]] as Sid, a [[ground sloth]] and the founder of the Herd.

== Production ==
On the possibility of a potential sequel to ''[[Ice Age: Collision Course]]'' in June 2016, co-director Galen T. Chu said that there were some ideas for the sixth, seventh installment of the ''Ice Age'' series. In July 2016, ''Bustle'' noted that the potential of ''Ice Age: Boiling Point'' being produced was relatively high even though it could mostly depend on the box office performance of the fifth movie.
In February 2017, ''PopWrapped'' commented on the subject of a sequel, pointing out the fifth movie's poor reception and how the sequels "do not quite connect on an emotional level like the original", suggesting that the sixth film should return to its roots by reintroducing the humans from the first film.
In February 2022, producer Lori Forte discussed the possibility of a sequel while promoting ''The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild'', saying, "I think it's a little premature. We hope that people will respond to this, and that will promote us to be able to do another movie. If the audiences want it, we've got plenty of ideas. There's no end to ideas and adventures and characters, so we're ready if they're ready."
In September 2024, [[John Leguizamo]], the voice of Sid in the ''Ice Age'' movies, revealed that the sixth movie was in development. By November 2024, during D23 in Brazil, the movie was officially announced to be in production with [[Ray Romano]], Leguizamo, [[Denis Leary]], [[Simon Pegg]], and [[Queen Latifah]] reprising their roles from the previous movies. On August 30, 2025, Disney revealed that the movie was titled ''Ice Age: Boiling Point''.<ref name="Variety">{{cite magazine |last=Dunn |first=Jack |title='Ice Age 6' Titled 'Ice Age: Boiling Point,' Sets 2027 Release |url=https://variety.com/2025/film/news/ice-age-boiling-point-release-date-disney-1236503113/ |website=Variety |accessdate=September 3, 2025 |date=August 30, 2025}}</ref>

'''''Ice Age: Boiling Point''''' (also called '''''Ice Age 6: Boiling Point''''' or simply known as '''''Ice Age 6''''') is an upcoming 2027 American animated adventure comedy movie. It is produced by [[20th Century Animation]] and distributed by [[20th Century Studios]]. It will serve as a sequel to ''[[Ice Age: Collision Course]]'' (2016), the seventh overall installment in the ''[[Ice Age (franchise)|Ice Age]]'' movie series. [[Ray Romano]], [[John Leguizamo]], [[Denis Leary]], [[Simon Pegg]], and [[Queen Latifah]] will reprise their roles from the previous movie. It will be the first theatrical ''Ice Age'' movie not to be produced by [[Blue Sky Studios]], after it closed on April 10, 2021.
''Ice Age: Boiling Point'' is scheduled to be released in the United States on February 5, 2027.
== Cast ==
* [[Ray Romano]] as Manny, a [[woolly mammoth]] and the leader of the Herd.
* [[John Leguizamo]] as Sid, a [[ground sloth]] and the founder of the Herd.
* [[Denis Leary]] as Diego, a [[saber-toothed cat]] and the co-leader of the Herd.
* [[Queen Latifah]] as Ellie, a female woolly mammoth and Manny's wife.
* [[Simon Pegg]] as Buck, a one-eyed [[weasel]] and a dinosaur hunter.
== Production ==
On the possibility of a potential sequel to ''[[Ice Age: Collision Course]]'' in June 2016, co-director Galen T. Chu said that there were some ideas for the sixth, seventh installment of the ''Ice Age'' series. In July 2016, ''Bustle'' noted that the potential of ''Ice Age: Boiling Point'' being produced was relatively high even though it could mostly depend on the box office performance of the fifth movie.
In February 2017, ''PopWrapped'' commented on the subject of a sequel, pointing out the fifth movie's poor reception and how the sequels "do not quite connect on an emotional level like the original", suggesting that the sixth film should return to its roots by reintroducing the humans from the first film.
In February 2022, producer Lori Forte discussed the possibility of a sequel while promoting ''The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild'', saying, "I think it's a little premature. We hope that people will respond to this, and that will promote us to be able to do another movie. If the audiences want it, we've got plenty of ideas. There's no end to ideas and adventures and characters, so we're ready if they're ready."
In September 2024, [[John Leguizamo]], the voice of Sid in the ''Ice Age'' movies, revealed that the sixth movie was in development. By November 2024, during D23 in Brazil, the movie was officially announced to be in production with [[Ray Romano]], Leguizamo, [[Denis Leary]], [[Simon Pegg]], and [[Queen Latifah]] reprising their roles from the previous movies. On August 30, 2025, Disney revealed that the movie was titled ''Ice Age: Boiling Point''.<ref name="Variety">{{cite magazine |last=Dunn |first=Jack |title='Ice Age 6' Titled 'Ice Age: Boiling Point,' Sets 2027 Release |url=https://variety.com/2025/film/news/ice-age-boiling-point-release-date-disney-1236503113/ |website=Variety |accessdate=September 3, 2025 |date=August 30, 2025}}</ref>

[[File:Penteract-q1q4-q3q5.gif|thumb|A rotating penteract (5-cube projection in 3D). A combination of 2 [[Tesseract|Tesseracts]].]]
A '''penteract''' (also called a '''5-cube''') is a five-dimensional [[hypercube]], and the 5D analogue of a [[cube]] and [[tesseract]]. It belongs to the infinite family of n-dimensional cubes (n-cubes).
== Overview ==
The penteract exists in 5D Euclidean space and is defined as all points whose coordinates are either 0 or 1 in five dimensions. It is built by extending a [[tesseract]] into a fifth dimension.
It is represented by the Schläfli symbol {4,3,3,3}.
== Elements ==
The structure contains:
* [[File:Penteract-q4q5.gif|thumb|A Rotating penteract projection undergoing a simple rotation.]]32 vertices (2⁵)
* 80 edges
* 80 square faces
* 40 cubic cells
* 10 tesseract 4-faces
Each vertex connects to 5 edges, one per dimension.
== Construction ==
A penteract is formed by recursively extending lower-dimensional shapes: point → [[line]] → [[square]] → [[cube]] → [[tesseract]] → penteract.
Each step doubles the number of vertices, following the pattern of the [[hypercube]] family.
== Properties ==
Like all hypercubes, it is highly symmetric and regular. It generalizes the structure of the [[square]] (2D), [[cube]] (3D), and [[tesseract]] (4D).
== Visualization ==
A true 5D object cannot be visualized directly. Instead, it is studied using:
* 3D projections
* 4D slices
* animated rotations of wireframes
These projections distort structure but preserve connectivity.
== Applications ==
Penteracts appear in:
* [[Geometry|higher-dimensional geometry]]
* [[theoretical physics]]
* [[machine learning]] (high-dimensional spaces)
* [[computer science]]
== See also ==
* [[Hypercube]]
* [[Cube]]
* [[Tesseract]]
* 5-orthoplex
* n-cube

''Michael'' received negative reviews from critics, who praised Jaafar's performance but criticized the story as "sanitized". A sequel is in development.
== Plot ==
=== Childhood and the Jackson 5 ===
The movie opens in 1966 with steel mill worker [[Joe Jackson|Joseph Jackson]] ([[Colman Domingo]]) ruthlessly pushing his five young sons into a musical act. Child actor [[Juliano Valdi|Juliano Krue Valdi]] plays the young Michael, whose prodigious talent on lead vocals is nurtured under the constant shadow of his father's iron will and [[physical abuse]]. Under [[Motown|Motown Records]], the group skyrockets to fame, forcing the family to move from a small house in the Midwest to an expansive estate in [[Encino, Los Angeles|Encino]], [[California]].
=== Rise of a solo icon ===
As Michael grows older (played by his nephew, [[Jaafar Jackson]]), he longs to break free from his father's controlling management. With the help of his mother, [[Katherine Jackson|Katherine]] ([[Nia Long]]), and attorney [[John Branca]] ([[Miles Teller]]), Michael takes charge of his own career. He channels his creative ambitions to record legendary solo albums like ''[[Off the Wall]]'' and the record-breaking ''[[Thriller (album)|Thriller]]''. This era is marked by his obsessive pursuit of musical perfection, his signature choreography, and his attempts to navigate intense global fame.
=== Personal struggles and public persona ===
The movie highlights Michael's duality: on stage, he is a revolutionary performer, but off stage, he struggles to make human connections due to his early loss of a normal childhood. His longing for a carefree life manifests in his obsession with [[Peter Pan]], his construction of the [[Neverland Ranch]], and his growing collection of exotic animals. The movie touches upon his changing appearance, his diagnosis and struggles with [[vitiligo]], and his genuine devotion to his fans and charity work.
=== Culmination ===
Rather than exploring later-life controversies, the movie focuses heavily on the triumphs of his artistic journey and culminates with spectacular re-enactments of his iconic concert performances.

Child actor [[Juliano Valdi|Juliano Krue Valdi]] plays the young Michael, whose prodigious talent on lead vocals is nurtured under the constant shadow of his father's iron will and [[physical abuse]]. Under [[Motown|Motown Records]], the group skyrockets to fame, forcing the family to move from a small house in the Midwest to an expansive estate in [[Encino, Los Angeles|Encino]], [[California]].
=== Rise of a solo icon ===
As Michael grows older (played by his nephew, [[Jaafar Jackson]]), he longs to break free from his father's controlling management. With the help of his mother, [[Katherine Jackson|Katherine]] ([[Nia Long]]), and attorney [[John Branca]] ([[Miles Teller]]), Michael takes charge of his own career. He channels his creative ambitions to record legendary solo albums like ''[[Off the Wall]]'' and the record-breaking ''[[Thriller (album)|Thriller]]''. This era is marked by his obsessive pursuit of musical perfection, his signature choreography, and his attempts to navigate intense global fame.
=== Personal struggles and public persona ===
The movie highlights Michael's duality: on stage, he is a revolutionary performer, but off stage, he struggles to make human connections due to his early loss of a normal childhood. His longing for a carefree life manifests in his obsession with [[Peter Pan]], his construction of the [[Neverland Ranch]], and his growing collection of exotic animals. The movie touches upon his changing appearance, his diagnosis and struggles with [[vitiligo]], and his genuine devotion to his fans and charity work.
=== Culmination ===
Rather than exploring later-life controversies, the movie focuses heavily on the triumphs of his artistic journey and culminates with spectacular re-enactments of his iconic concert performances.
== Production ==
Development began in November 2019, when it was reported that the producer [[Graham King]] had secured the rights to produce a movie about Jackson, with Logan attached to write. Lionsgate Films announced the movie in February 2022. In January 2023, Fuqua was announced as the director, and Jaafar was cast as Michael. Further casting took place from January to April 2024.
After delays caused by the [[2023 SAG-AFTRA strike]], [[principal photography]] began on January 22, 2024 in [[Santa Barbara, California]] and finished on May 30.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thesource.com/2024/01/22/michael-jacksons-biopic-begins-filming/|accessdate=March 4, 2025|title=Michael Jackson’s Biopic Begins Filming|publisher=[[The Source]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://collider.com/michael-jackson-biopic-release-date-delayed/|accessdate=March 4, 2025|title=Antoine Fuqua's Michael Jackson Biopic Just Moonwalked Its Release Date Back Several Months|publisher=[[Valne|Collider]]}}</ref> After a clause was discovered in a legal settlement, references to the [[1993 Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations|1993 child sexual abuse allegations against Michael]] were removed, the third act was revised, and reshoots took place in June 2025, bringing the total production budget to $155–200 million.
The movie was released on April 24, 2026, in which has grossed $860.7 million worldwide, making it the second-highest-grossing movie of 2026 and the third-highest-grossing biographical movie of all time. ''Michael'' received negative reviews from critics, who praised Jaafar's performance but criticized the story as "sanitized". A sequel is in development.

A typical entry reports information in the following sequence: Name, age, country of citizenship at birth or nationality if the subject is not eligible (for example, in the case of animals), subsequent nationality (if applicable), what subject was noted for, cause of death (if known), and reference. Names are reported under the date of death. Names under each date are reported in alphabetical order by surname or pseudonym.
(1) Please add only those meeting Wikipedia notability guidelines. Include a reference to a reliable source.[a] [b] If a Wikipedia article for the dead does not yet exist, reconsider whether the subject is actually notable. If so, consider writing an article yourself. Those without a Wikipedia article are removed after one month.
(2) Please understand that the intent of this article is to report notable deaths. Tragic deaths, while unfortunate, do not necessarily render the dead "notable". If you report the death of a notable subject that does not already have a Wikipedia article, consider starting one.
(3) Please add entries in alphabetical order by family name. Please avoid over-linking. As such, please do not add links to nationalities, common occupations, or common causes of death. Rather, include only "links that aid navigation and understanding". Thank you.
(4) References should be in <ref>[url & title]</ref> format, as full citations make the page too slow to load, and too big to edit.
(5) Please do not move deaths from the previous month until the 8th of current month.

Names are reported under the date of death, in alphabetical order. A typical entry reports information in the following sequence:
* Name, age, country of citizenship at birth, subsequent [[nationality]] (if applicable), what subject was noted for, cause of death (if known), and a reference.
Entries without a source should be removed. <!--Please check to see if someone is already listed before listing them-->
<!--
* * * * * * * Please adhere to the guidelines below when adding a name to this article. * * * * * * *
A typical entry reports information in the following sequence: Name, age, country of citizenship at birth or nationality if the subject is not eligible (for example, in the case of animals), subsequent nationality (if applicable), what subject was noted for, cause of death (if known), and reference. Names are reported under the date of death. Names under each date are reported in alphabetical order by surname or pseudonym.
(1) Please add only those meeting Wikipedia notability guidelines. Include a reference to a reliable source.[a] [b] If a Wikipedia article for the dead does not yet exist, reconsider whether the subject is actually notable. If so, consider writing an article yourself. Those without a Wikipedia article are removed after one month.
(2) Please understand that the intent of this article is to report notable deaths. Tragic deaths, while unfortunate, do not necessarily render the dead "notable". If you report the death of a notable subject that does not already have a Wikipedia article, consider starting one.
(3) Please add entries in alphabetical order by family name. Please avoid over-linking. As such, please do not add links to nationalities, common occupations, or common causes of death. Rather, include only "links that aid navigation and understanding". Thank you.
(4) References should be in <ref>[url & title]</ref> format, as full citations make the page too slow to load, and too big to edit.
(5) Please do not move deaths from the previous month until the 8th of current month.
--Notes--
[a] See [[WP:RS]] for definition of reliable source, and [[WP:BLPSOURCE]] for living and recently deceased persons.
[b] For information on using information from Ancestry.com, Find-a-grave, or IMDb, please see [[WP:ELPEREN]].

The '''Jiajing Emperor''' (Real name: '''Zhu Houcong'''; Temple name: '''Emperor Shizong of Ming'''; Art name: '''Yaozhai''',{{sfnp|Wanli yehuo bian|loc=Vol. 1}}{{efn|{{zh|t=堯齋|s=尧斋|p=Yáozhāi}}}} '''Leixuan''',{{sfnp|Wanli yehuo bian|loc=Vol. 1}}{{efn|{{zh|t=雷軒|s=雷轩|p=Léixuān}}}} and '''Tianchi Diaosou'''{{sfnp|Wanli yehuo bian|loc=Vol. 1}}{{efn|{{zh|t=天池釣叟|s=天池钓叟|p=Tiānchí Diàosǒu}}}}; 16 September 1507 — 23 January 1567) was the [[Emperor]] of the ''[[Ming Dynasty]]'' from 1521 until his death in 1567. His predecessor was his cousin the Zhengde Emperor.
The Jiajing Emperor was born as a cousin of the reigning [[Zhengde Emperor]], making his accession to the throne unexpected. However, after the Zhengde Emperor died without a heir, the government, led by Senior Grand Secretary [[Yang Tinghe]] and [[Empress Zhang (Hongzhi)|Empress Dowager Zhang]], selected him as the new ruler. A dispute over the legal legitimacy of his [[accession]], known as the [[Great Rites Controversy]], arose between the emperor and the officials. After three years, the emperor prevailed, and his main opponents were either banished or executed.
Like the Zhengde Emperor, the Jiajing Emperor chose to reside outside the [[Forbidden City]] in [[Beijing]]. In 1542, he moved to the [[Taiye Lake|West Park]], located west of the Forbidden City. He constructed a complex of Taoist temples and palaces inspired by the [[Taoism|Taoist belief]] of the [[Xian (Taoist)|Land of Immortals]]. There, he surrounded himself with loyal [[Eunuch|eunuchs]], Taoist [[Monk|monks]], and trusted [[Advisor|advisers]], including grand secretaries and ministers of rites. His main advisers were Zhang Fujing, [[Xia Yan (Ming dynasty)|Xia Yan]], [[Yan Song]], and [[Xu Jie (Ming dynasty)|Xu Jie]].
At the beginning of his reign, the borders were relatively peaceful, though Mongols under [[Altan Khan]] began pushing for the restoration of [[free trade]] in the 1540s. The emperor refused and attempted to close the borders by strengthening the [[Great Wall of China]], prompting Altan Khan to raid Beijing's outskirts in 1550. The conflict continued until the reign of Jiajing's successor, Longqing, who allowed trade to resume.
The [[Wokou]] pirates also posed a threat in the southeastern provinces of [[Zhejiang]], [[Fujian]], and [[Guangdong]] throughout the 1540s. The Ming government attempted to address this by implementing stricter [[Law|laws]] against private overseas trade in the 1520s, but [[piracy]] peaked in the 1550s. The issue began to diminish in the 1560s after the Longqing Emperor relaxed maritime trade laws.
In 1556, northern China experienced the [[1556 Shaanxi earthquake]], the deadliest in history, killing over 800,000 people. Despite this, the economy thrived, with growth in [[agriculture]], [[industry]], and trade. The traditional [[Confucianism|Confucian]] philosophy of [[Zhu Xi|Zhuism]] gave way to more individualistic ideas championed by [[Wang Yangming]].
In his later years, the emperor's obsession with [[immortality]] led to questionable actions, including his interest in [[alchemy]] and [[Girl|young girls]]. He sent Taoist priests across the land to collect [[Mineral|minerals]] for life-extending potions, which contained harmful substances like [[Arsenic trioxide|arsenic]], [[lead]], and [[Mercury (element)|mercury]], likely shortening his life.

[[File:Porcelaine_chinoise_Guimet_261101.jpg|thumb|left|210px|A porcelain vase from the Jiajing era, [[Guimet Museum]], Paris]]
Zhu Houcong, the future Jiajing Emperor, was born on 16 September 1507 as the eldest son of [[Zhu Youyuan]], Prince of Xing, and Lady Shao, a [[Concubinage|concubine]] of the [[Chenghua Emperor]]. Zhu Youyuan, the fourth son of the Chenghua Emperor, was known for his [[poetry]] and [[calligraphy]]. Zhu Houcong’s mother, Jiang, was the daughter of Jiang Xiao, an officer in Beijing’s garrison. Zhu Houcong's parents lived in Anlu (now [[Zhongxiang]]) in Huguang, central China, where he was born.{{sfnp|Geiss|1998|p=440}}{{sfnp|Goodrich|Fang|1976|p=315}}
Zhu Houcong received a Confucian [[education]], with his father as his primary [[tutor]]. After his father's death in 1519, Zhu Houcong, assisted by Yuan Zonggao, took responsibility for managing the household.{{sfnp|Geiss|1998|p=441}} Following the customary mourning period, he officially became the Prince of Xing in March 1521.{{sfnp|Goodrich|Fang|1976|p=316}}
==Reign==
{{List collapsed|1=
}}The '''Jiajing Emperor''' (1507–1567) was the 12th emperor of the [[Ming dynasty]], ruling from 1521 to 1567. His reign was marked by political controversy and reforms.
====Ascension to the Throne====
The [[Zhengde Emperor]] died on 20 April 1521.{{sfnp|Goodrich|Fang|1976|p=308}} Zhu Houcong, a cousin of the Zhengde Emperor, was selected to become the next emperor. However, Ming succession law stated that only the sons of the empress could inherit the throne. Since Zhu Houcong's father was not the son of the empress, his succession was legally questionable. To resolve this, Grand Secretary [[Yang Tinghe]] proposed [[Adoption|adopting]] Zhu Houcong as the Hongzhi Emperor’s son.{{sfnp|Geiss|1998|p=442}}
Zhu Houcong rejected the adoption but accepted the throne. On 27 May 1521, he formally ascended the throne and chose the era name "Jiajing."{{sfnp|Goodrich|Fang|1976|p=316}}{{sfnp|Geiss|1998|p=443}}
{{MetaSidebar|5=The proposal for the era name Shaozhi (Continuation of proper governance) by the grand secretaries was rejected by the Jiajing Emperor. It is believed that Shaozhi was a summary of the government's call for the Jiajing Emperor to take the throne and follow the policies and rituals set by the founders of the dynasty in order to ensure proper governance. This expressed a desire for continuity in rule. The era name Jiajing means "admirable and tranquility" and is derived from a passage in the ''Book of Documents'', in which the [[Duke of Zhou]] admonishes the young [[King Cheng of Zhou|King Cheng]] and praises King [[Wu Ding]] of the [[Shang dynasty]] for his admirable and tranquil leadership. Wu Ding was commended for restoring the fallen prestige of the Shang dynasty not through force, but through the radiance of his virtue. Therefore, the era name Jiajing can be seen as a criticism of the state of the country and the Zhengde regime, as well as a declaration of a policy of change and restoration.{{sfnp|Geiss|1990|pp=37–51}}
In the mentioned reprimand, [[King Wen of Zhou|King Wen]], the father of the founder of the Zhou dynasty, [[King Wu of Zhou|King Wu]], is also contrasted with the unworthy last Shang king, [[King Zhou of Shang|Zhou]]. The Jiajing Emperor saw a parallel between King Wen, Zhou and Wu, and his noble father, unworthy Zhengde Emperor, and himself. Therefore, he judged that he did not owe the throne to the grand secretaries, ministers, or the [[Empress Zhang (Hongzhi)|empress dowager]], but to the virtues of his father recognized by the Heavens.{{efn|[[Mencius]] used an analogy to justify King Wu's claim to the throne: King Wen, who was loyal to the Shang dynasty and virtuous, gained the favor of Heaven and his son was able to establish a new dynasty and restore proper governance.{{sfnp|Geiss|1990|pp=37–51}}}} This was the basis of his respect for his parents and his rejection of adoption in the Great Rites Controversy.{{sfnp|Geiss|1990|pp=37–51}}}}
The day after the Zhengde Emperor's death, a delegation of high-ranking dignitaries left Beijing for Anlu to inform the prince of the situation.{{efn|The delegation was led by Xu Guangzuo, Duke of Ding (a descendant of [[Xu Da]]); Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning and the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Zhang; the commandant-escort Cui Yuan, husband of the Chenghua Emperor's daughter; Grand Secretary Liang Chu; Minister of Rites Mao Cheng; and three highly ranked eunuchs.{{sfnp|Dardess|2016|p=7}}}} They arrived in Anlu on 2 May.{{sfnp|Dardess|2016|p=7}} Zhu Houcong accepted them, familiarised himself with the [[edict]] of the empress dowager, and agreed to ascend the throne. On 7 May,{{sfnp|Goodrich|Fang|1976|p=316}} he set out for Beijing accompanied by forty of his own advisers and [[Servant|servants]].{{sfnp|Dardess|2016|p=8}} Yang Tinghe issued orders for him to be welcomed in Beijing as the heir to the throne, but Zhu Houcong refused to appear as the heir apparent, stating that he was invited to assume the imperial rank and was therefore the emperor, not the son of the emperor.{{sfnp|Geiss|1990|pp=37–51}} According to the grand secretaries and the government, he was the son of the Hongzhi Emperor. He forced his way into the city with imperial honors and on the same day, 27 May 1521, he ceremoniously ascended the throne.{{sfnp|Goodrich|Fang|1976|p=316}}{{sfnp|Geiss|1998|p=443}} The young emperor reportedly chose the name of his era himself, from his favorite chapter of the ''[[Book of Documents]]'', with ''jia'' meaning "to improve, make splendid" and ''jing'' meaning "to pacify" in Chinese.{{sfnp|Dardess|2016|p=1}}
====Great Rites Controversy====
The Jiajing Emperor wanted to posthumously elevate his father, but Yang Tinghe insisted on formal adoption to legitimize his rule. The emperor rejected this and instead pushed for the elevation of his parents to imperial status.{{sfnp|Geiss|1998|p=444}} By 1521, the emperor succeeded in having his parents and grandmother granted imperial rank.{{sfnp|Geiss|1998|p=445}} However, this sparked conflicts that led to Yang Tinghe's resignation in 1524.{{sfnp|Geiss|1998|p=448}}
====Autocratic Rule====
The emperor's strong stance on his rights led him to govern [[Autocratic|autocratically]], rejecting the influence of grand secretaries. This led to the rise of the Confucian scholar [[Wang Yangming]] and a shift in intellectual thought during his reign.{{sfnp|Geiss|1998|p=449}}
====Honoring Parents and Legitimizing Government====
In 1530, the Jiajing Emperor published a [[biography]] of his great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, [[Empress Ma]], and the book ''Nüxun'' (Instructions for Women), attributed to her.{{sfnp|Goodrich|Fang|1976|p=317}} He also worked to honor his parents and ancestors, restoring ancestral temples and overseeing rituals. After his mother’s death in 1538, he made plans to [[Burial|bury]] her alongside his father near Beijing.{{sfnp|Goodrich|Fang|1976|p=316}}
==Family==
The Jiajing Emperor had three empresses during his reign. The first, [[Empress Chen (Jiajing)|Lady Chen]], was chosen for him by his aunt, [[Empress Zhang (Hongzhi)|Empress Dowager Zhang]]. Lady Chen became empress in 1522, but in 1528, she suffered a [[miscarriage]] and died on 21 October of that year due to a [[dispute]] with the emperor.{{sfnp|Geiss|1998|p=461}}

'''Vanguard Films & Animation Studio''', also known as '''Vanguard Animation''', is an independent American computer animation production studio founded in 2002 by producer [[John H. Williams (movie producer)|John H. Williams]] and Neil Braun.<ref name=Business1 /> The studio has offices in [[Vancouver, British Columbia]], [[Canada]] and [[Ealing Studios]] in [[London]], [[England]], [[United Kingdom]]. [[Starz Distribution]] (then IDT Entertainment) formerly owns a minority stake in the studio.
==History==
The studio was founded in 2002 by [[John H. Williams (movie producer)|John H. Williams]].<ref name=Business1 /> For its launch, it signed with [[Ealing Studios]] a four-picture deal to produce sub-$40 million computer-animated movies.<ref name=PRNewswireDisney>{{cite news|title=The Walt Disney Studios and 'Shrek' producer John Williams partner for new CG animated film output|url=http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/news-releases/the-walt-disney-studios-and-shrek-producer-john-williams-partner-for-new-cg-animated-film-output-155236635.html|access-date=3 May 2013|newspaper=PR Newswire|date=5 September 2002}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=The Walt Disney Studios and 'Shrek' Producer John Williams Partner For New CG Animated Film Output.|url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/The+Walt+Disney+Studios+and+%27Shrek%27+Producer+John+Williams+Partner...-a091079919|access-date=3 May 2013|newspaper=The Free Library|date=5 September 2002|archive-date=5 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305020300/http://www.thefreelibrary.com/The+Walt+Disney+Studios+and+%27Shrek%27+Producer+John+Williams+Partner...-a091079919|url-status=dead}}</ref> The following year in July 2003, Vanguard sold a minority stake to [[IDT Corporation]] and partnered with its animation unit, Digital Production Solutions, to co-produce and co-own all Vanguard's properties,<ref name=Business1>{{cite news|title=IDT Media's Digital Production Solutions -DPS- Signs Joint Venture and Partnership Agreement with Vanguard Animation; DPS Also Gets First Look Rights on all Vanguard Animation Work|url=http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20030722005152/en/IDT-Medias-Digital-Production-Solutions--DPS--Signs|access-date=April 20, 2012|newspaper=Business Wire|date=July 22, 2003}}</ref><ref name=VarietyIDT>{{cite news|last=Bloom|first=David|title=Vanguard sells stake, inks IDT co-prod'n deal|url=https://variety.com/2003/film/news/vanguard-sells-stake-inks-idt-co-prod-n-deal-1117889715/|access-date=May 4, 2013|newspaper=Variety|date=July 22, 2003}}</ref> including ''[[Valiant (film)|Valiant]]'' (2005) produced for [[Disney]].<ref name=PRNewswireDisney />
The company was part of the then-new "pipeline-free" trend (reported by ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' in 2006<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Debruge |first1=Peter |title=Cutting Corners: Indie-Style Producers Do without Pipelines |journal=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |date=June 2, 2008}}</ref>) in animation production, where the companies didn't keep the talent on payroll and instead were "establishing a team from scratch to execute each feature", allowing them to secure tax breaks from the governments. For example, the feature "[[Valiant (film)|Valiant]]" was produced in the UK in order to collect the tax incentives there. With UK incentives ending, the production (for "[[Space Chimps]]") moved to Canada ([[Vancouver]]).{{sfn|Bernardi|Hoxter|2017|p=160}}

:{{re|Fr33kman}} I had a small off-wiki discussion with DWI that basically concluded just before you made your comment - so this isn't intended to override anything you've just put, this is just what we mentioned in that conversation being put here onto the public page, please make of it what you will.
:The 300 edit minimum is clearly not met -the time requirement technically is as the account has been created for some time - the question here is instead whether this counts as [[:foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy#Exceptions to minimum requirements|an exception in foundation policy]], as a proof that an exception could be granted. Policy says, {{tq|If a user account does not meet the criteria above, but still has a legitimate reason to access temporary account IP addresses, for a purpose that cannot be '''reasonably''' addressed by users who already have this access, stewards are authorized to grant exceptions to the above criteria.}} (bolding mine) If DWI was to send me (or another user with access) every temporary account he came across to check for open proxies, would that be reasonable? With the number of temporary accounts it appears he is intending to check, it appears not. Given the level of trustworthiness here, an exemption could be made, though would require a consensus among a few admins. I had mentioned at first that 1) DWI is likely to reach 300 edits soon anyway and 2) with the level of cross-wiki anti-vandalism work he has been doing lately, he could just request global rollback anyway, likely with no issue. That was pretty much what my response was going to be, as a comment rather than not done, but I think this is to go down the exception route - this is something I am personally okay with entertaining here, as it could be something to address sooner or later, be it here locally or more globally. So the question is more whether as a wiki, we want to grant the exception or not, then a steward can approve if we decide to. I do not want to turn this into a super wide discussion, as we prefer rollback requests to be Done/Not done processes, so we might wish to discuss this more on Simple talk. I should also say, on a purely practical basis given the scenario - the fact this could be resolved otherwise through another rights request or more edits - I lean towards no. --[[User:Ferien|Ferien]] <small>([[User talk:Ferien|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[User:Ferien/TBA|join TBA!]])</small> 00:54, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

:I don't see any problem with making an exception to the global policy. I think such cases aren't properly covered by the policy yet. Someone with admin or other advanced rights on another project should be able to request this right as and when needed.

'''Kach''' (Hebrew: כך, lit. 'Thus') was an existing religious Zionist party, existing from 1971 to 1994. Founded by rabbi [[Meir Kahane]] in 1971, drawing upon [[Kahanism|his Jewish-Orthodox-nationalist ideology]], the party won a seat in 1984, after several electoral failures. Later on, it was banned from participating in the next elections in 1988 under the revised [[Knesset]] Elections Law banning parties that incited racism. After Kahane's assassination in 1990 the party offshooted into '''Kach''', led by [[Baruch Marzel]] and '''Kahane Chai''', led by [[Binyamin Ze'ev Kahane|Benny Ze'ev Kahane]], descendant of [[Meir Kahane]], chairman of Kach.
This party was barred from participating in 1992 elections and banned outright by the Israeli cabinet following statements endorsing the execution of 29 non-Jews by Goldstein at the cave of the Patriarchs by [[Baruch Goldstein]], who was fellow Member of the Kach party.
Designated as "terrorist" groups by Israel, Canada, Japan, the United States and EU formerly, they are believed to have an overlapping core membership of more/less than 100 people, many of whom are tied to the modern day [[Otzma Yehudit]] party.

[[Meir Kahane|Kahane]] immigrated to [[Israel]] from the [[United States]] in September 1971, at first declaring that he would only involve himself in Jewish education.<ref name="Sprinzak">{{cite book |author=Ehud Sprinzak|title=Brother against Brother|url=https://archive.org/details/brotheragainstbr0000spri|publisher=The Free Press|year=1999|page=[https://archive.org/details/brotheragainstbr0000spri/page/188 189]|isbn=978-0684853444}}</ref> However, he soon became involved in controversy, initiating protests supportive of expulsion of Arabs from [[Israel]] and the [[Occupied Palestinian Territory|Palestinian territories]]. In 1972, [[Jewish Defense League|JDL]] leaflets were distributed around [[Hebron]], calling for the mayor to stand trial for the [[1929 Hebron massacre]].<ref name="MFA">{{cite web |url=http://www.mfa.gov.il/mfa/aboutisrael/state/law/pages/the%20kach%20movement%20-%20background%20-%2003-mar-94.aspx|title=The Kach Movement - Background|publisher=Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs|date=3 March 1994|access-date=23 June 2015}}</ref>
In 1971, Kahane founded a new party,<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |url=https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Politics/kach.html|title=Israel Political Parties: Kach|encyclopedia=Jewish Virtual Library|access-date=23 June 2015}}</ref> which ran in the [[1973 Israeli legislative election|1973 elections]] under the name "The League List".<ref>[http://www.polsci.ucsb.edu/faculty/hstoll/research/Israeli_Election_Results.xls Complete Israeli Election Results, 1949-2009] UC Santa Barbara {{dead link|date=June 2016|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> The party won 12,811 votes (0.82%), just 2,857 (0.18%) short of the [[Election threshold|electoral threshold]] at the time (1%) for winning a seat. Following the elections, the party was named "''Kach''", taken from [[Irgun]] motto "''Rak Kach''" ("Only thus").<ref>{{cite book |author=Rafael Medoff|author2=Chaim I. Waxman|year=2013|title=Historical Dictionary of Zionism|publisher=Routledge|page=100|isbn=978-1579582869}}</ref> The party was less successful in the [[1977 Israeli legislative election|1977 elections]], in which it won 4,396 votes (0.25%), and in 1980 Kahane was sentenced to six months in prison for his involvement in a plan to commit an "act of provocation" on the [[Temple Mount|Temple Mt]].<ref name="MFA" /> The [[1981 Israeli legislative election|1981 elections]] were another failure, with Kach receiving only 5,128 votes (0.27%).
=== Kahane at the Knesset ===
Events in the next couple of years increased the party's profile. In 1982, [[Israel]] withdrew [[Israel Defense Forces|its forces]] out of the [[Sinai Peninsula]], as part of the [[Egypt–Israel peace treaty]] which involved evacuating Israeli settlers living in the peninsula. There was fierce resistance, particularly in [[Yamit]], which used to be [one] of the largest [[Israeli settlements|Jewish settlements]] in the [[Sinai Peninsula]], where several extremists had barricaded themselves inside a [[synagogue]] and were threatening to commit suicide. [[Menachem Begin]]'s government asked Kahane to act as an intermediary and convince them to give in.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Pedahzur|first=Ami|url=https://www.worldcat.org/title/317068141|title=Jewish terrorism in Israel|last2=Perliger|first2=Arie|date=2009|publisher=Columbia University Press|isbn=978-0-231-15446-8|series=Columbia studies in terrorism and irregular warfare|location=New York|page=87|oclc=317068141}}</ref>
Prior to the [[1984 Israeli legislative election|1984 legislative elections]], the party was barred by the [[Israeli Central Elections Committee|Central Elections Committee]] for racism. It successfully appealed to the [[Supreme Court of Israel|Supreme Court]], which reversed the CEC's decision, ruling that the [[Knesset Elections Law]] (one of the [[Basic Laws of Israel]]) did not allow a party to be barred on the grounds of racism, but did suggest that the law be amended.<ref name="MFA" /> In the elections, the party won 25,907 votes (1.2%), passing the electoral threshold for the first time, and winning one seat, which was duly taken by Kahane.
Kahane's legislative proposals put forth efforts to revoke Israeli citizenship for non-Jews, creation of a homogenous Jewish family, and ending Jewish-Gentile meetings, according to the Code of Hebrew law, compiled by [[Maimonides]] in the ''Mishneh Torah''.
As his political career progressed, Kahane became increasingly isolated in the Knesset. His speeches, boycotted by Knesset members, were made to an empty parliament, except for the duty chairman and the transcriptionist. Kahane's legislative proposals and motions of no-confidence against the government were ignored or rejected by fellow Knesset members. Kahane often pejoratively called other Knesset members "Hellenists" in [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]]. In 1987, [[Meir Kahane|Kahane]] opened a [[yeshiva]] ([[HaRaayon HaYehudi]]) with funding from U.S. supporters, for the teaching of "the Authentic Jewish Idea".
Despite the boycott, polls showed that the Kach party would have likely received three to four seats in the coming November 1988 elections,<ref>{{cite web |author=Donald Neff|url=http://www.wrmea.org/1999-july-august/jewish-defense-league-unleashes-campaign-of-violence-in-america.html|title=Jewish Defense League Unleashes Campaign of Violence in America|work=Washington Report on Middle East Affairs|date=July–August 1999|pages=81–82|access-date=23 June 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6iHOrDQghpcC&q=kach+1988+knesset+elections+poll&pg=PA196|title=Jew vs. Jew: the struggle for the soul of American Jewry|author=Samuel G.

=== Ban from running in elections ===
In response to the election of Kach's single representative and following up on the recommendation of the Supreme Court, the Knesset passed an amendment to the Elections Law, which stated:<ref name="MFA" /><blockquote>A list of candidates shall not participate in elections to the Knesset if its objects or actions, expressly or by implication, include one of the following:
:# negation of the existence of the [[Israel|State of Israel]] as a "[[Jewish state]]";
:# negation of the democratic character of the state.
:# incitement to racism
</blockquote>As a result, Kach was disqualified from running in the [[1988 Israeli legislative election|1988 elections]] by the Central Elections Committee. The party once again appealed against the decision, with sympathizers of Kahane claiming that security, demographic and religious needs were justification for discrimination against [[Arabs]]. This time the appeal was unsuccessful, with the court stating that the aims and action of Kach were "manifestly racist".<ref name="MFA2" />
To protest their electoral ban, a group of Kach activists founded [[Sicarii (1989)|Sicarii]] in 1989. Their protests took the form of [[arson]] and [[graffiti]] attacks against Jewish [[Left-wing politics|left-wing]] political figures.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|title=Underground group targets Jewish leftists|last=Roseberg|first=Carol|date=28 April 1989|work=[[The Globe and Mail]]|page=A8|author-link=Carol Rosenberg}}</ref><ref name="PedahzurPerliger2011">{{citation|author1=Ami Pedahzur|title=Jewish Terrorism in Israel|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DF03xwLaPucC&pg=PA93|page=93|year=2011|publisher=Columbia University Press|isbn=978-0-231-15447-5|author2=Arie Perliger}}</ref>

On 5 November 1990, Kahane was assassinated after making a speech in [[New York City]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/12/19/nyregion/terror-label-no-hindrance-to-anti-arab-jewish-group.html|work=The New York Times|first=Dean E.|last=Murphy|title=Terror Label No Hindrance To Anti-Arab Jewish Group|date=19 December 2000|page=B6|access-date=23 June 2015}}</ref> The prime suspect, [[El Sayyid Nosair]], an Egyptian-born American citizen, was subsequently acquitted of murder, but convicted on gun possession charges.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/12/23/nyregion/jury-selection-seen-as-crucial-to-verdict.html|work=The New York Times|first=Selwyn|last=Raab|title=Jury Selection Seen As Crucial to Verdict|date=23 December 1991|access-date=23 June 2015}}</ref> Kach offshooted into '''Kach''', led by [[Baruch Marzel]], sub. for [[Rabbi]] [[Avraham Toledano]], Mashgiach Ruhani of Yeshivat HaRa'ayon HaYehudi, founded by [[Meir Kahane]] and '''Kahane Chai''', led by [[Binyamin Ze'ev Kahane|Benjamin Ze'ev Kahane]], a descendant of [[Meir Kahane|Rabbi Meir Kahane]], founder of Kach & Kahane Chai.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8_weKmqZv0kC&q=%22kahane+chai%22+breakaway&pg=PA153|title=A Brief History of Israel|last=Reich|first=Bernard|date=2008|publisher=Infobase Publishing|isbn=9781438108261|language=en}}</ref> Kach & Kahane Chai were banned from participating in [[1992 Israeli legislative election|1992]].
=== Party ban on Kach & Kahane Chai ===
Following both parties noting their support of a 1992 grenade attack on the butchers' market of [[Jerusalem]]'s [[Old City (Jerusalem)|Old City]], [[Cabinet of Israel|government minister]] [[Amnon Rubinstein]] asked the [[Attorney General of Israel|Attorney General]] to launch criminal proceedings against [[Meir Kahane|Kahane]]/[[Baruch Goldstein|Goldstein]], [[Baruch Marzel]] on the charges of incitement to terrorism.<ref name="MFA2" />
In 1994, both the groups were banned under 1948 anti-[[terrorism]] laws<ref name="treas.gov" /> after issuing sympathy for [[Doctor|Dr.]] [[Baruch Goldstein]], who [[Cave of the Patriarchs massacre|killed 29 civilians]] at the [[Cave of the Patriarchs]], avenging the [[Assassination of Meir Kahane|assassination]] of [[Meir Kahane]] (Goldstein was recruited by the [[Jewish Defense League|JDL]] at an early age).<ref name="cdi.org" />
Many former Kach activists spent time in Israeli jail under [[administrative detention]], particularly [[Noam Federman]], who spent more than 6 months in lockup without being indicted.<ref name="start">{{cite web |title=EYAL (Fighting Jewish Organization)|url=http://www.start.umd.edu/tops/terrorist_organization_profile.asp?id=4017|work=National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism|publisher=University of Maryland|access-date=23 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150624043946/http://www.start.umd.edu/tops/terrorist_organization_profile.asp?id=4017|archive-date=24 June 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref>
After being convicted for sedition for distributing pamphlets advocating violence against Arabs, [[Binyamin Ze'ev Kahane]] and his wife were killed in a [[Palestinian political violence|Palestinian]] ambush in December 2000.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/1095078.stm|work=BBC News|title=The Kahanes: Like father, like son|date=31 December 2000|access-date=23 June 2015}}</ref>
=== Aftermath ===
[[File:Kach.jpg|thumb|258x258px|Kach logo spraypainted on a cement block reading "Kahane Chai"]]
[[File:Kach_graf.jpg|thumb|[[Kahanism|Kahanist]] graffiti in [[Hebron]] on a Palestinian home. The words to the top right say "Kahane Chai". The fist inside the [[Star of David]] is the party logo. Below is the acronym for "Kahane Chai" which is also the Hebrew word for ''strength''.]]
Following the bans on Kach & Kahane Chai, the movements officially disbanded. Kach Leadership formed an advocacy group known as ''The Kahane Movement''. The group's activities consist mainly of maintaining Kahanist website kahane.org. However, ''the Kahane Movement'' is listed on the [[United States]]'s list of terrorist organizations as Kach and Kahane Chai, though the group denies this.
The New Kach Movement existed between 2001 and 2003 and maintained websites posting [[Kahanism|Kachnick]] political commentary and held meetings with informal members. Headed by Israeli-born student Ephraim Hershkovits, it had chapters worldwide and a youth movement, ''Noar haMeir''. Upon returning to live in Israel in 2003, Hershkovits disbanded the movement to avoid harassment by the Israeli government, advising its former members to support ''The Kahane Movement''. After the organization had dissolved, its name was also added to the United States of America's list of terrorist organizations as an alias for "Kach". Hershkovits was arrested on 7 August 2005 and placed in administrative detention for three months by Israeli authorities.
America continued to designate the group as a [[List of terrorist organisations|terrorist organization]] by the early 2000s,<ref name="state.gov" /> saying that it engaged in terrorist activity by:
* Using explosives or firearms with intent to endanger the safety of individuals or cause substantial damage to property (including an attempt to car bomb a [[Palestinian people|Palestinian]] girls school in [[East Jerusalem]])<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wrmea.org/2007-january-february/u.s.-appeals-court-affirms-designation-of-kahane-chai-kach-as-terrorist-groups.html|title=U.S. Appeals Court Affirms Designation of Kahane Chai, Kach as Terrorist Groups|work=Washington Report on Middle East Affairs|date=January–February 2007|agency=The DC Investigative Journalism Collective|access-date=23 June 2015}}</ref>
* Conspiring to carry out assassinations
* Soliciting funds and members for a terrorist organization
The [[United States Department of State|State Department]] also says that the group is suspected of involvement in a number of low-level attacks since the start of the [[Al-Aqsa Intifada|Second Intifada]] in 2000.<ref name="cfr">{{cite web |url=http://www.cfr.org/israel/kach-kahane-chai-israel-extremists/p9178?breadcrumb=%2Fabout%2Fnewsletters%2Feditorial_detail%3Fid%3D1332|title=Kach, Kahane Chai (Israel, extremists)|publisher=Council for Foreign Relations|date=20 March 2008|access-date=23 June 2015|archive-date=4 June 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604062238/http://www.cfr.org/israel/kach-kahane-chai-israel-extremists/p9178?breadcrumb=%2Fabout%2Fnewsletters%2Feditorial_detail%3Fid%3D1332|url-status=dead}}</ref>
In the [[2003 Israeli legislative election|2003 elections]], [[Baruch Marzel]], former chief of Kach ran as number two on the [[Herut – The National Movement|Herut – National Movement]] party list. The party narrowly missed obtaining a seat. In 2004, he founded the [[Jewish National Front]], which gained 24,824 votes (0.7%) in the [[2006 Israeli legislative election|2006 elections]], less than half needed to win a seat. Israeli far-rightist party [[Jewish National Front]] merged into [[Eretz Yisrael Shelanu]] and [[National Union (Israel)|National Union]], for which [[Michael Ben-Ari]], a self-declared follower of [[Meir Kahane]], ran as fourth and secured a spot for Kahanists.

=== Non-Jews ===
* Non-Jews in Israel (especially [[Israeli Arabs]]) are to be offered the right of residence as a non-citizen. All non-Jews will have total personal rights and no national ones. Those who refuse the offer, and agree to leave quickly and peacefully, will receive compensation for their property, with 10% taken off and placed in a special fund for [[Sephardic Jews]] who left property behind in Arab countries and were never compensated.
* Until then, every [[Arab Israelis|Israeli Arab]] from the age of 18 will serve three years of manual labor, plus yearly manual duty as part of the reserves. The [[Bituah Leumi|National Insurance Institute]], which pays monthly checks for every Arab child until the age of 18, will be transferred to the [[Jewish Agency]], and payment made only to Jews.
* An automatic (death) penalty shall be in force for any Arab terrorist caught.
=== Economy and employment ===
* A five-day-week of work will be introduced throughout the country, with [[Shabbat]] and Sunday being full days of rest. Sunday will be a day for freedom of entertainment, sport, and general pleasure, while the Shabbat will be a day of cessation.
* A free economy will be put into force, with regulations and licenses cut to a minimum, and the [[bureaucracy]] cut to the bone. Taxes will be cut, and capital investment welcome. Worker-participation in factories will be encouraged. The [[Histadrut]] will be limited to being a union only and will have to sell off its holdings. Only free enterprise that brings in foreign investment, and that encourages domestic [[capitalism]] and incentive, will allow Israel to escape its position as a beggar basket-case.
* Minimum wages will be raised to high levels, and underemployment compensation limited only to those who are incapable of working or can prove that they have not been able to find work. [[Hebrew labor|Jewish labor]] will be advocated.
* The huge amounts of budgetary funds that go to the Arab sector will be diverted to the needs of the Jewish underprivileged in the urban neighborhoods and the development towns.<ref name="If I were Prime Minister…">{{cite news|title=If I were Prime Minister…|work=The Jewish Press|date=11 March 1983}}</ref>
=== Education ===
* Organization of Jewish education shall be undertaken, including schools, the army, and state news media. All schools in Israel will be given a basic curriculum in [[Judaism]] and [[Zionism|Jewish national pride]]. Parents who do not wish this can organize their own private schools, but with no government funding.
=== Foreign affairs ===
* The [[Aliyah]] Department shall be re-organized, with all emissaries recalled and a new system implemented under which a shaliach (emissary) sent to a foreign country will be one who himself came from this country.
* A special unit to deal properly with Jew-haters outside of Israel who threaten Jews there will be set up. There will be no sanctuary for murderers of Jews, Israelis or not.
* A special office to deal with the suffering Jews outside of Israel (Syria, Yemen, Ethiopia, Palestine, Iran etc.) will coordinate non-stop protests and pressures throughout the world.
* The humiliation of [[United Nations]] defamation and degradation of Israel will be put to an end with Israel's withdrawal.<ref name="If I were Prime Minister…" />
=== Land and sovereignty ===
* Immediate annexation of every part of Israel that is in our hands, and unlimited settlement for Jews everywhere in that area.
* Sovereignty from the [[Temple Mount]] shall be given to the [[Chief Rabbinate of Israel|Rabbinate]]. Jews will have unlimited access to those areas of the [[Temple Mount]] that are permitted entry by [[halakha]], and a [[synagogue]] will be built immediately.
* Every young couple will be offered a [[dunam]] of free land to build a home with minimum [[mortgage]]. This will encourage young couples to leave the cities, and also to live in an environment of air and land, rather than cramped into tiny apartments in high-rise buildings.
=== Military ===
* The Army shall be given a free hand to shoot when it feels necessary at any attacker, including stone-throwers. The entire village of any [[terrorist]], including stone-throwers, shall be expelled from the country.
* Every soldier during his three years of basic army service will learn a manual trade and will be given an opportunity, while in the army, to spend much of his last year at home working in that trade.
* All women will be exempt from army service but will be compelled to do [[national service]] in their neighborhoods and come home every night.
* A separate large army base shall be set up in which [[Haredi Judaism|Haredi Jews]] will do their army service. Any full-time [[yeshiva]] student who does absolutely nothing else will be exempt. The many thousands of part-time [[yeshiva]] students will be doing army service at the special base.

'''Operation Torch''' (initially '''Operation Gymnast''') was the attack of the [[United States]]–[[United Kingdom]] coalition (the [[Allies of World War II|Allies]]) during the [[North African Campaign|North African campaign]] on the [[Vichy France|Vichy French]] territories in the [[World War II|Second World War]]. It began on 8 November 1942 and ended a week later.
The [[Soviet Union]] had requested several times to the United States and the United Kingdom to immediately act in [[Europe]] and open a second front to share the burden with the [[Red Army]] in [[European theatre of World War II|the fight]] [[Eastern Front (World War II)|against]] [[Nazi Germany]]. While many American commanders supported [[Operation Sledgehammer]] to directly land in the occupied European continent, the British believed it would end in disaster so they proposed an attack on the Vichy French territories in [[North Africa]] to clean up the [[Axis powers|Axis]] forces out of North Africa, increasing control of the [[Mediterranean Sea]] and preparing for an invasion of Southern France in 1943 (in reality it was in [[Operation Dragoon|1944]]). [[President of the United States|US President]] [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] suspected that activities in Africa would affect the European advancement in 1943 but still supported the [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|British Prime Minister]] [[Winston Churchill]].
== Background ==
[[File:Operation Torch.jpg|right|350px|thumb|The route of transport trains preparing for the operation.]]
The Allies had planned for an attack led by the US-UK coalition in North Africa/French [[Maghreb]] – [[French Morocco|Morocco]], [[French Algeria|Algeria]] and [[French Tunisia|Tunisia]], the Vichy French territories in name only. With the British entering from Egypt, the Allies can execute an operation to surround the Axis troops in North Africa. Vichy France had around 125,000 troops in the territorial areas and also coastal artillery, 210 usable tanks but outdated and around 500 aircrafts, half of which were fighter aircrafts [[Dewoitine D.520|Dewoitine D520]] with strength near equal to many British and American fighter aircrafts. These forces were split, which include 60,000 troops in Morocco, 15,000 in Tunisia and 50,000 in Algeria with coastal artillery and a small number of aircrafts and tanks. Aditionally, there were around 10 [[Warship|warships]] and 11 [[Submarine|submarines]] in [[Casablanca]].
=== Political reasons ===
The Allies believed the Vichy French would not resist, partly because of information provided by American consul Robert Daniel Murphy in Algeria. France was a former member of the Allies so the US Army prohibited firing first unless they shoot. However, they were still feared about the French still angrying about the United Kingdom's actions in June 1940 to prevent Germany from taking warships from France's hands. The [[attack on Mers-el-Kébir]] killed around 1,300 French sailors.
Rating the good altitudes of the French military was also important and many plans have been executed to ensure their cooperation instead of resistance. The Germans' help for France was mainly by air, many [[Luftwaffe]]'s aircraft bombers were used to attack the Allies' aid to North Africa, targeting Allied ports in Algeria and along the North African coast.
=== Commanders ===
[[Lieutenant general]] [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] was given the command of the operation, the headquarters were based in [[Gibraltar]]. The [[Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force|Allied Naval Expeditionary Force]] commander was Admiral [[Sir Andrew Cunningham]] along with Vice Admiral [[Sir Bertram Ramsay]], who planned the landing.
=== Stragetic controversies ===
Long-serving American commanders remained highly opposed, after the Allied High Command met in [[London]] on 30 July 1942, General [[George Marshall]] and Admiral [[Ernest King]] did not approve the plan. Marshall and other American generals wanted a landing on northern Europe in the final year, but the British disapproved. After Prime Minister Winston Churchill urged a landing of French North Africa in 1942, Marshall suggested to President Franklin D. Roosevelt about cancelling the priorities on Germany and focusing on the [[Pacific War]]. Roosevelt said it would not help the Soviets, with Marshall failed to change the British opinion about it, Roosevelt requested that Operation Torch should be more prioritised than any other activities and should be executed as soon as possible, this was Roosevelt's one of two direct orders to generals in the war.
When executing the plan, Allied military stragetists had to consider the political situations in North Africa, which were complex and also many aspects of political and diplomatic factions. The US had recognized Pétain and the Vichy government in 1940, while Britain did not and instead recognized the [[Free France|Free French]] [[government-in-exile]] of General [[Charles de Gaulle]] and agreed to finance them. North Africa was a part of France's colonial system and had supported the Vichy France in name only, but that support was not popular among the public.
The United States' strageties when planning the attack were to calculate the complexity on the ground. Planners assumed that if leaders were aided by the Allies then they would liberate themselves and the United States had embarked on detailed negotiations under US Consul General Robert Murphy in [[Rabat]] with the Free French movement. Because the British had committed to Charles de Gaulle financially and diplomatically, so it was obvious that the Americans would have to begin a series of negotiations with the Free French and also the attack itself. Due to many competitions of many factions in North Africa, their supports were uncertain and because the need of secrecy so detailed plans were not able to be shared with the French.
=== Allied plans ===
[[Oran]], [[Algiers]] and [[Casablanca]] were selected to be the main targets. The most ideal stragety was to landing in [[Tunis]] to ensure the security for [[French Tunisia|Tunisia]] and create an convenient opportunity to prevent/cut supply lines that go through [[Tripoli]] to [[Rommel]]'s forces in Libya. However, Tunis was too near to the Axis' airfields in [[Sicily]] and [[Sardinia]]<nowiki/>so there were no hope of victory. The Allies would land in [[Bône]] in eastern Algeria, near Tunis than Alger about 300 mi (480 km). Limited resources made the Allies could only land in three beaches and [[Dwight D. Eisenhower|Eisenhower]] – who believed any plans should include the landings in Oran and Algiers – had two main options: choose the west, land in Casablanca, Oran and Algiers and then quickly move to Tunis which is about 500 mi (800 km) to Algiers from the east once the Vichy opposition is surpressed; or choose the east, land in Oran, Algiers and Bône then proceeding overland to Casablanca which is about 500 mi (800 km) to Oran from the west. Eisenhower supported to the east's plan because of the advantages it brought to take Tunis early and a Casablanca landing near the [[Atlantic Ocean]] would be more dangerous than the [[Mediterranean Sea]].
However, there were concerns that the operation would end [[Francoist Spain|Spain]]'s [[Neutral powers during World War II|neutral]] status. If Spain joins the [[Axis powers]] then the [[Strait of Gibraltar]] might be closed fully, cutting the Allies' communication lines so the Casablanca landing was chosen to reduce the risk because many forces in Algeria and Tunisia might be aided by land from Casablanca (although there were significant difficulties) in case if many straits are closed.
Marshall's opposition to the plan delayed the plan for a month, and his opposition to the landing in Algeria questioned some British military leaders about Marshall's stragetic capability; the [[Royal Navy]] had controlled the Strait of Gibraltar and Spain could not intervene because [[Francisco Franco]] needed to take care of his nation and himself after the [[Spanish Civil War]] ended rather than joining World War II. The landing in Morocco removed control with Tunisia. Eisenhower told [[Patton]] that the past six weeks were his hardest time in his life. When Eisenhower approved the landings in Algeria and Morocco, he pointed that the decision had increased the chance to take Tunis early because the Axis forces would take more time to send troops to Tunisia.

== Naldi (singer) – notability clarification ==
Hello,
I would like to comment regarding the article:
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naldi_(singer)
I understand the concern regarding A4 (no indication of importance), however I believe the subject does meet the general notability guideline (WP:GNG).
The article includes multiple independent and reliable secondary sources that provide coverage of the artist, including:
- The Source
- HipHopSince1987
- LA Weekly
- AllHipHop
- Thrive Times
These are independent publications that have written about the artist’s work and career development, which suggests significant coverage beyond trivial mentions.
In addition, the artist has been featured by Top Channel (Top Awards), a major media platform in Albania.
The current version of the article has been expanded, properly sourced, and written in a neutral, encyclopedic tone in line with Wikipedia policies.
Given this, I respectfully suggest that the article may not fit the A4 criterion, as there is a clear indication of notability supported by sources.
I would appreciate if you could take another look at the updated version before proceeding with deletion.
Thank you for your time. [[Special:Contributions/~2026-19744-69|~2026-19744-69]] ([[User talk:~2026-19744-69|talk]]) 14:44, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

== Hany Abu-Assad page deleted ==
* {{DRV|Hany Abu-Assad}} Why have you deleted my page? I have put a lot of work into this. I don’t fully understand why you would want it deleted. I am creating a page for my university Bachelor’s degree in Middle Eastern Studies, and I have followed all the rules. I have followed the training on how to create a page, and my references are correctly formatted. I am from Amsterdam, where Hany Abu-Assad is also from, and I have used sources from Dutch media. Could this be the reason? I kindly request that my page be restored as soon as possible, as this is a serious project I am working on.
[[User:Lotte van Dam|Lotte van Dam]] ([[User talk:Lotte van Dam|talk]]) 08:15, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
:The reason given for the deletion was that the subject is “not notable,” but Hany Abu-Assad is a well-known Palestinian-Dutch filmmaker and already has a page on the regular Wikipedia.

== Block Review ==
{{unblock|1=I respectfully request that this block be reviewed. The block rationale given for my block is in particular my RFD participation. However, I have participated in RfDs before and this was not my first instance of voting on RFD (as Gotitbro claimed at the CU forum), I didn't mention it on the CU page thinking it was unnecessary when the participation is public, so this was not my unusual behavior specific to this case. My comment on [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_deletion/Requests/2026/India_naming_dispute this particular RFD] (For which I believe I have been blocked for?) was my own assessment of the article, and not because of any connection to the blocked user. My editing practices, the use of tools and edit summaries are all what I learned from my 3 month time here and are common among editors as I've seen at [[Wikipedia:RecentChanges]] (This is where I've been mostly active at).
I understand that reasonable editors may interpret behavioral evidence differently, but I believe the evidence presented does not establish that I am the same person as Cyber.Eyes.2005, I therefore ask that the block be reconsidered or independently reviewed. Also pinging the blocking admin {{Ping|Ferien}}. – <span style="font-family:serif;">[[User:Erakilos|Erakilos]]</span> 𐤀 01:55, 5 June 2026 (UTC)}}
:I have a few questions before I review this request:
** You were able to use common edit summaries from very early on in your editing history. Your use of scripts and several other things (which I can list if necessary) suggest to me that you are not a completely new editor, or that you may have prior experience editing while logged out. Can you explain this?
** Your areas of interest appear quite similar to those of Cyber.Eyes.2005. You mention that your participation in the India naming dispute RfD was not unusual behaviour. Can you point me to other RfDs where you had similar involvement?
** I am not entirely convinced by the explanation that your edit-summary style was simply learned during your three months here. I took a look at recent changes and do not see many editors using edit summaries in quite the same way. There are a number of small similarities with Cyber.Eyes.2005 which, taken together, are difficult to ignore. Can you provide a more detailed explanation for how you developed that editing style?
** The checkuser evidence is not concrete but there are similarities. The evidence being indecisive is not uncommon considering the time gap between use of these accounts. So this does not prove you are unrelated.
:Lastly, I will remind you the best way to get an unblock is to be honest. Unblock is not impossible under condition in that case.--[[User:BRPever|<span style="color:#FF00FF;">B</span><span style="color:#FF7E00;">R</span><span style="color:#00A300;">P</span>]]'''<sup><small>[[User talk:BRPever|'' ever'']]</small></sup>''' 21:15, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

== Naldi (singer) – notability clarification ==
Hello,
I would like to comment regarding the article:
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naldi_(singer)
I understand the concern regarding A4 (no indication of importance), however I believe the subject does meet the general notability guideline (WP:GNG).
The article includes multiple independent and reliable secondary sources that provide coverage of the artist, including:
- The Source
- HipHopSince1987
- LA Weekly
- AllHipHop
- Thrive Times
These are independent publications that have written about the artist’s work and career development, which suggests significant coverage beyond trivial mentions.
In addition, the artist has been featured by Top Channel (Top Awards), a major media platform in Albania.
The current version of the article has been expanded, properly sourced, and written in a neutral, encyclopedic tone in line with Wikipedia policies.
Given this, I respectfully suggest that the article may not fit the A4 criterion, as there is a clear indication of notability supported by sources.
I would appreciate if you could take another look at the updated version before proceeding with deletion.
Thank you for your time. [[Special:Contributions/~2026-19744-69|~2026-19744-69]] ([[User talk:~2026-19744-69|talk]]) 14:44, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

:I have a few questions before I review this request:
** You were able to use common edit summaries from very early on in your editing history. Your use of scripts and several other things (which I can list if necessary) suggest to me that you are not a completely new editor, or that you may have prior experience editing while logged out. Can you explain this?
** Your areas of interest appear quite similar to those of Cyber.Eyes.2005. You mention that your participation in the India naming dispute RfD was not unusual behaviour. Can you point me to other RfDs where you had similar involvement?
** I am not entirely convinced by the explanation that your edit-summary style was simply learned during your three months here. I took a look at recent changes and do not see many editors using edit summaries in quite the same way. There are a number of small similarities with Cyber.Eyes.2005 which, taken together, are difficult to ignore. Can you provide a more detailed explanation for how you developed that editing style?
** The checkuser evidence is not concrete but there are similarities. The evidence being indecisive is not uncommon considering the time gap between use of these accounts. So this does not prove you are unrelated.
:Lastly, I will remind you the best way to get an unblock is to be honest. Unblock is not impossible under condition in that case.--[[User:BRPever|<span style="color:#FF00FF;">B</span><span style="color:#FF7E00;">R</span><span style="color:#00A300;">P</span>]]'''<sup><small>[[User talk:BRPever|'' ever'']]</small></sup>''' 21:15, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

== Naldi (singer) – notability clarification ==
Hello,
I would like to comment regarding the article:
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naldi_(singer)
I understand the concern regarding A4 (no indication of importance), however I believe the subject does meet the general notability guideline (WP:GNG).
The article includes multiple independent and reliable secondary sources that provide coverage of the artist, including:
- The Source
- HipHopSince1987
- LA Weekly
- AllHipHop
- Thrive Times
These are independent publications that have written about the artist’s work and career development, which suggests significant coverage beyond trivial mentions.
In addition, the artist has been featured by Top Channel (Top Awards), a major media platform in Albania.
The current version of the article has been expanded, properly sourced, and written in a neutral, encyclopedic tone in line with Wikipedia policies.
Given this, I respectfully suggest that the article may not fit the A4 criterion, as there is a clear indication of notability supported by sources.
I would appreciate if you could take another look at the updated version before proceeding with deletion.
Thank you for your time. [[Special:Contributions/~2026-19744-69|~2026-19744-69]] ([[User talk:~2026-19744-69|talk]]) 14:44, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
== Rollback granted ==
Hi Erakilos, I've given you rollback as you requested it. Remember to only use rollback for obvious vandalism, and not good faith edits.

== Hany Abu-Assad page deleted ==
* {{DRV|Hany Abu-Assad}} Why have you deleted my page? I have put a lot of work into this. I don’t fully understand why you would want it deleted. I am creating a page for my university Bachelor’s degree in Middle Eastern Studies, and I have followed all the rules. I have followed the training on how to create a page, and my references are correctly formatted. I am from Amsterdam, where Hany Abu-Assad is also from, and I have used sources from Dutch media. Could this be the reason? I kindly request that my page be restored as soon as possible, as this is a serious project I am working on.
[[User:Lotte van Dam|Lotte van Dam]] ([[User talk:Lotte van Dam|talk]]) 08:15, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
:The reason given for the deletion was that the subject is “not notable,” but Hany Abu-Assad is a well-known Palestinian-Dutch filmmaker and already has a page on the regular Wikipedia. I hope this is not related to his Palestinian background and that this is not the reason why the page was deleted. [[User:Lotte van Dam|Lotte van Dam]] ([[User talk:Lotte van Dam|talk]]) 08:34, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
::Hey @[[User:Lotte van Dam|Lotte van Dam]]! The deletion of the page was not related to Hany Abu-Assad’s Palestinian background. The page was deleted due to notability concerns. Even if sources are properly formatted, they must also demonstrate that the subject meets the notability criteria and has enough sources cited. I understand the effort that goes into creating a new page. You can request that the page be restored or even moved to your user space sandbox so you can improve it at [[WP:Deletion review]]. – <span style="font-family:serif;">[[User:Erakilos|Erakilos]]</span> 𐤀 09:28, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

== Block Review ==
{{unblock reviewed|1=I respectfully request that this block be reviewed. The block rationale given for my block is in particular my RFD participation. However, I have participated in RfDs before and this was not my first instance of voting on RFD (as Gotitbro claimed at the CU forum), I didn't mention it on the CU page thinking it was unnecessary when the participation is public, so this was not my unusual behavior specific to this case. My comment on this particular RFD (For which I believe I have been blocked for?) was my own assessment of the article, and not because of any connection to the blocked user. My editing practices, the use of tools and edit summaries are all what I learned from my 3 month time here and are common among editors as I've seen at Wikipedia:RecentChanges (This is where I've been mostly active at).
I understand that reasonable editors may interpret behavioral evidence differently, but I believe the evidence presented does not establish that I am the same person as Cyber.Eyes.2005, I therefore ask that the block be reconsidered or independently reviewed.

:I have a few questions before I review this request:
** You were able to use common edit summaries from very early on in your editing history. Your use of scripts and several other things (which I can list if necessary) suggest to me that you are not a completely new editor, or that you may have prior experience editing while logged out. Can you explain this?
** Your areas of interest appear quite similar to those of Cyber.Eyes.2005. You mention that your participation in the India naming dispute RfD was not unusual behaviour. Can you point me to other RfDs where you had similar involvement?
** I am not entirely convinced by the explanation that your edit-summary style was simply learned during your three months here. I took a look at recent changes and do not see many editors using edit summaries in quite the same way. There are a number of small similarities with Cyber.Eyes.2005 which, taken together, are difficult to ignore. Can you provide a more detailed explanation for how you developed that editing style?
** The checkuser evidence is not concrete but there are similarities. The evidence being indecisive is not uncommon considering the time gap between use of these accounts. So this does not prove you are unrelated.
:Lastly, I will remind you the best way to get an unblock is to be honest. Unblock is not impossible under condition in that case.--[[User:BRPever|<span style="color:#FF00FF;">B</span><span style="color:#FF7E00;">R</span><span style="color:#00A300;">P</span>]]'''<sup><small>[[User talk:BRPever|'' ever'']]</small></sup>''' 21:15, 6 June 2026 (UTC)
::Yes, I can explain that.
::1. Yes, I had wiki-editing experience prior to joining SEW, although not on Wikipedia itself. I contributed extensively to Miraheze wikis and had been doing so for approximately 2-3 years before editing here. I actually mentioned this shortly after joining Simple English Wikipedia ([https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=10766465 diff]). Because wiki editing conventions are broadly similar across platforms, I did not find it difficult to adapt. I had originally intended to begin editing on English Wikipedia, but ended up here and stayed.
::2. Regarding topic interests, the main overlap is South Asia. Given the size of the region and it being a contentious topic here on Wikipedia, I do not think it is unusual for multiple editors to share that area of interest. I am from the South Asian region. I also edit South Asian topics extensively on English Wikipedia, including article creation. As for the India naming dispute RfD, my participation was not my first involvement in RfDs (As the CU request stated "at an article they've never edited before and at a forum they've never visited prior"). I have both voted and nominated articles for RFD; [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_deletion/Requests/2026/Wikit%C3%B3lica 1], [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_deletion/Requests/2026/Andrew_Hulbert 2].
::3. About the edit summaries, the examples cited in the CU discussion have straightforward explanations. I learned "copyedit" from new user edit suggestions on my homepage, these were the [https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Erakilos&target=Erakilos&dir=prev first edits I made here ]. Summaries such as "POV" and "unsourced" are common shorthand descriptions that I frequently encountered on English Wikipedia and adopted myself. As for tools, I learned about QD logs and usage while editing here, observing the RC page many users here keep QD logs. The tool I use most extensively is Twinkle, tho my familiarity with Twinkle comes from prior wiki-editing experience, including Miraheze, most of its usage I learned while editing here. I believe it's also the most common tool here at SEW.

== Warning ==
Usually when you see edits like [https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=10771055&oldid=10771052&rcid=26946842 these], you can just immediately report them to [[WP:VIP]] with the reason of them being LTAs. [[WP:LTA|LTA]]s are users who create accounts just to make a certain edit and are usually [[meta:Globally locked|locked]] when you make a request at [[:meta:SRG|this page]].

Hello @[[User:Erakilos|Erakilos]]<nowiki/>i can see you just joined Wikipedia 5 days ago, and how do you know articles doesn’t meet the General Notability Guidelines?
do you know what it takes to write articles and you just nominate it for deletion without proper review? [[User:Whattttttttt|Whattttttttt]] ([[User talk:Whattttttttt|talk]]) 08:32, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
:Hello, I’m indeed new here, but before nominating the articles I reviewed the guidelines at [[Wikipedia:GNG]] and [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)]]. Based on my understanding, the articles may not currently meet those criteria. However, I may be mistaken; the discussion at [[WP:RfD]] allows the community to review and decide, and you’re welcome to participate there. <span style="font-family:serif;">[[User:Erakilos|Erakilos]]</span> 𐤀 08:39, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

This tool is only really for a quite narrow use case where the person you're reverting has made just one edit per page. If they've made multiple, it's best to use twinkle or rollback, as massundo will just make more work for others.

== Naldi (singer) – notability clarification ==
Hello,
I would like to comment regarding the article:
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naldi_(singer)
I understand the concern regarding A4 (no indication of importance), however I believe the subject does meet the general notability guideline (WP:GNG).
The article includes multiple independent and reliable secondary sources that provide coverage of the artist, including:
- The Source
- HipHopSince1987
- LA Weekly
- AllHipHop
- Thrive Times
These are independent publications that have written about the artist’s work and career development, which suggests significant coverage beyond trivial mentions.
In addition, the artist has been featured by Top Channel (Top Awards), a major media platform in Albania.
The current version of the article has been expanded, properly sourced, and written in a neutral, encyclopedic tone in line with Wikipedia policies.
Given this, I respectfully suggest that the article may not fit the A4 criterion, as there is a clear indication of notability supported by sources.
I would appreciate if you could take another look at the updated version before proceeding with deletion.
Thank you for your time. [[Special:Contributions/~2026-19744-69|~2026-19744-69]] ([[User talk:~2026-19744-69|talk]]) 14:44, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
== Rollback granted ==
Hi Erakilos, I've given you rollback as you requested it. Remember to only use rollback for obvious vandalism, and not good faith edits. If you'd like to test it out, please go [[Wikipedia:Rollback feature/Testing ground|here]]. Thank you for your contributions! :) --[[User:Ferien|Ferien]] <small>([[User talk:Ferien|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[User:Ferien/TBA|join TBA!]])</small> 23:06, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

== Hany Abu-Assad page deleted ==
* {{DRV|Hany Abu-Assad}} Why have you deleted my page? I have put a lot of work into this. I don’t fully understand why you would want it deleted. I am creating a page for my university Bachelor’s degree in Middle Eastern Studies, and I have followed all the rules. I have followed the training on how to create a page, and my references are correctly formatted. I am from Amsterdam, where Hany Abu-Assad is also from, and I have used sources from Dutch media. Could this be the reason? I kindly request that my page be restored as soon as possible, as this is a serious project I am working on.
[[User:Lotte van Dam|Lotte van Dam]] ([[User talk:Lotte van Dam|talk]]) 08:15, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
:The reason given for the deletion was that the subject is “not notable,” but Hany Abu-Assad is a well-known Palestinian-Dutch filmmaker and already has a page on the regular Wikipedia. I hope this is not related to his Palestinian background and that this is not the reason why the page was deleted. [[User:Lotte van Dam|Lotte van Dam]] ([[User talk:Lotte van Dam|talk]]) 08:34, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
::Hey @[[User:Lotte van Dam|Lotte van Dam]]! The deletion of the page was not related to Hany Abu-Assad’s Palestinian background. The page was deleted due to notability concerns. Even if sources are properly formatted, they must also demonstrate that the subject meets the notability criteria and has enough sources cited. I understand the effort that goes into creating a new page. You can request that the page be restored or even moved to your user space sandbox so you can improve it at [[WP:Deletion review]]. – <span style="font-family:serif;">[[User:Erakilos|Erakilos]]</span> 𐤀 09:28, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

== Block Review ==
{{unblock reviewed|1=I respectfully request that this block be reviewed. The block rationale given for my block is in particular my RFD participation. However, I have participated in RfDs before and this was not my first instance of voting on RFD (as Gotitbro claimed at the CU forum), I didn't mention it on the CU page thinking it was unnecessary when the participation is public, so this was not my unusual behavior specific to this case. My comment on this particular RFD (For which I believe I have been blocked for?) was my own assessment of the article, and not because of any connection to the blocked user. My editing practices, the use of tools and edit summaries are all what I learned from my 3 month time here and are common among editors as I've seen at Wikipedia:RecentChanges (This is where I've been mostly active at).
I understand that reasonable editors may interpret behavioral evidence differently, but I believe the evidence presented does not establish that I am the same person as Cyber.Eyes.2005, I therefore ask that the block be reconsidered or independently reviewed. Also pinging the blocking admin @Ferien:. – Erakilos 𐤀 2:55 am, 5 June 2026, last Friday (2 days ago) (UTC+1)|decline= You haven't been blocked for bad behaviour, you were blocked for block evasion. -- '''''[[User:Fr33kman|<span style="color: darkgreen">fr33k</span>]][[User talk:Fr33kman|<span style="color: navy">man</span>]]''''' 00:20, 7 June 2026 (UTC)}}
:I think my unblock request has been misunderstood? I never said I've been blocked for 'bad behavior'. <span style="font-family:serif;">[[User:Erakilos|Erakilos]]</span> 𐤀 01:13, 7 June 2026 (UTC)
:I have a few questions before I review this request:
** You were able to use common edit summaries from very early on in your editing history. Your use of scripts and several other things (which I can list if necessary) suggest to me that you are not a completely new editor, or that you may have prior experience editing while logged out. Can you explain this?
** Your areas of interest appear quite similar to those of Cyber.Eyes.2005. You mention that your participation in the India naming dispute RfD was not unusual behaviour. Can you point me to other RfDs where you had similar involvement?
** I am not entirely convinced by the explanation that your edit-summary style was simply learned during your three months here. I took a look at recent changes and do not see many editors using edit summaries in quite the same way. There are a number of small similarities with Cyber.Eyes.2005 which, taken together, are difficult to ignore. Can you provide a more detailed explanation for how you developed that editing style?
** The checkuser evidence is not concrete but there are similarities. The evidence being indecisive is not uncommon considering the time gap between use of these accounts. So this does not prove you are unrelated.
:Lastly, I will remind you the best way to get an unblock is to be honest. Unblock is not impossible under condition in that case.--[[User:BRPever|<span style="color:#FF00FF;">B</span><span style="color:#FF7E00;">R</span><span style="color:#00A300;">P</span>]]'''<sup><small>[[User talk:BRPever|'' ever'']]</small></sup>''' 21:15, 6 June 2026 (UTC)
::Yes, I can explain that.
::1. Yes, I had wiki-editing experience prior to joining SEW, although not on Wikipedia itself. I contributed extensively to Miraheze wikis and had been doing so for approximately 2-3 years before editing here. I actually mentioned this shortly after joining Simple English Wikipedia ([https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=10766465 diff]), where I thought SEW was a forked Wiki. Because wiki editing conventions are broadly similar across platforms, I did not find it difficult to adapt. I had originally intended to begin editing on English Wikipedia, but ended up here and stayed.
::2. Regarding topic interests, the main overlap is South Asia. Given the size of the region and it being a contentious topic here on Wikipedia, I do not think it is unusual for multiple editors to share that area of interest. I am from the South Asian region. I also edit South Asian topics extensively on English Wikipedia, including article creation. As for the India naming dispute RfD, my participation was not my first involvement in RfDs (As the CU request stated "at an article they've never edited before and at a forum they've never visited prior"). I have both voted and nominated articles for RFD before; [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_deletion/Requests/2026/Wikit%C3%B3lica 1], [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_deletion/Requests/2026/Andrew_Hulbert 2], [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_deletion/Requests/2026/Principality_of_Kagame 3], [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_deletion/Requests/2026/Template:IP_Viewed 4].
::3. About the edit summaries, the examples cited in the CU discussion have straightforward explanations. I learned "copyedit" from new user edit suggestions on my homepage, these were the [https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Erakilos&target=Erakilos&dir=prev first edits I made here ]. Summaries such as "POV" and "unsourced" are common shorthand descriptions that I frequently encountered on English Wikipedia and adopted myself. As for tools, I learned about QD logs and usage while editing here, observing the RC page many users here keep QD logs. The tool I use most extensively is Twinkle, tho my familiarity with Twinkle comes from prior wiki-editing experience, including Miraheze, most of its usage I learned while editing here. I believe it's also the most common tool here at SEW.
::I've tried my best to answer your questions. If there are any specific concerns or examples you would like me to address in more detail, I would be happy to do so. <span style="font-family:serif;">[[User:Erakilos|Erakilos]]</span> 𐤀 02:22, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/39|Translations]] are available.
'''Weekly highlight'''
* [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1758726000 On September 24th at 15:00 UTC], all Wikimedia sites users will experience a brief read-only period due to a scheduled [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|datacenter server switchover]]. The Wikimedia Foundation's Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team will redirect all traffic from one primary server to its backup. You can listen to the switchover using the [http://listen.hatnote.com/ "Listen to Wikipedia"] tool, where you will hear edits stop for a few minutes during the read-only phase, then resume. This twice-yearly datacenter server switchover ensures reliability by testing the backup datacenter, so that our sites can stay online even if the primary datacenter fails. You can [[diffblog:2025/03/12/hear-that-the-wikis-go-silent-twice-a-year/|read more about the process on the Diff blog]].
'''Updates for editors'''
* Editors of [[f:Special:Mylanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2025-09-12#Next round of Wiktionaries to receive embedded Wikifunctions calls|60 more Wiktionaries]] will soon be able to call [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|functions from Wikifunctions]] and integrate them into their pages. A function takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, like adding numbers, converting miles to meters, calculating elapsed time, or declining a word into a case. They will join the other [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2025-08-29#Wikifunctions available on 65 Wiktionaries|65 Wiktionary language editions]], which already have access to embedded Wikifunctions calls. Later this year, plans are in place to expand to more Wiktionaries and the Incubator.
* A new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#Technical metadata of another page|parser function]] has been added: <code><nowiki>{{#contentmodel}}</nowiki></code>. Template editors and admins can use it to get the localized or canonical name of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:ChangeContentModel|content model]] of a specific page. The function makes it easier to create and edit system messages, such as ''MediaWiki:editinginterface'', even when you switch types of pages, like wiki, JavaScript, CSS or JSON page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328254]
* Adding or editing a <code>DISPLAYTITLE</code> for an article using VisualEditor will no longer be broken. Editors who use VisualEditor mode to modify the <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE}}</nowiki></code> would no longer have the literal text "DISPLAYTITLE" or its localized variant added to their articles. A list of pages that may have been affected and might need cleanup is documented in [[phab:P83438|this ticket]].
* Beta users of the Wikipedia Android app can now try the redesigned [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/Activity Tab Experiment|Activity tab]], which replaces the Edits tab. The new tab offers personalized insights into reading, editing, and donation activity, while simplifying navigation and making app use more engaging.

* Wikifunctions users can now import many essential facts involving [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Z6011|geo-coordinates]], [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Z6010|quantities]] and [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Z6064|time]] values from Wikidata. This is made possible by the creation of Wikifunctions types for these values, which makes them available for use by functions in Wikifunctions. Learn more about how this works in [[c:File:ImportingWikidataDatatypesIntoWikifunctions.webm|this video]] and Wikifunctions' [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2025-08-01#News in Types I: Wikidata quantity|August 1 newsletter]] (for quantities) and [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2025-08-22#News in Types: Wikidata geo-coordinate|August 22 newsletter]] (for geo-coordinates).

Il '''Palazzo delle Poste''', fino al 1945 Ricevitoria Postelegrafonica di Littoria, è un edificio postale di Latina, situato in piazzale dei Bonificatori.
Costruito nel 1932 in stile razionalista con influenze futuriste, riscontrabili nell'utilizzo di ampie superfici vetrate e di volumi verticali, oltre che per la presenza di l’utilizzo di materiali e scelte di design molto in voga all'epoca come, come i mattoni a vista, il travertino di Tivoli e l'Anticorodal (una lega di alluminio), ospita l'ufficio postale Latina Centro.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* A major software upgrade has been made to [[phab:|Phabricator]]. The update introduces performance improvements, a refreshed search interface, enhancements to Maniphest task search, updates to user profile pages and project workboards, new Herald automation features, as well as general text input, mobile experience improvements and more.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Community Tech team will release the new Community Wishlist extension on October 1, that will improve the way wishes will be submitted. The new extension will allow users to add tags to their wishes to better categorise them, and (in a future iteration) to filter them by status, tags and focus areas. It will also be possible to support individual wishes again, as requested by the community in many instances. The old system will be retired. There will be a brief period of downtime while the extension is deployed and wishes are migrated to the new system. You can read more about this [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist/Updates|in the latest update]] or you can consult the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CommunityRequests|current documentation on MediaWiki]].
* As announced [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|on Diff blog]], the production trial of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha|hCaptcha]] service for bot detection has begun. The trial is currently using hCaptcha to protect account creation on Chinese, Persian, Portuguese, Indonesian, Japanese, and Turkish Wikipedias, where it will replace our existing [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|CAPTCHA]] (FancyCaptcha). The goal with the trial is to better block bots while also improving usability and accessibility for users who encounter CAPTCHA challenges.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents]] extension has been [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|deployed]] to Wikimedia Commons. The extension makes it easier to organize and participate in collaborative activities, like edit-a-thons and WikiProjects, on the wikis. On Commons, anyone who is a registered user can use it as an event participant. To use it as an organizer, someone needs to have the [[c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Event organizers|event organizer right]].
* [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|Sub-referencing]], a new feature to re-use references with different details has been released to German Wikipedia. You can [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#test|test the feature]] on testwiki or [https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmcloud.org/wiki/Sub-referencing on betawiki] as well. Please share your thoughts on [[:m:Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#Templates used in sub-references|using templates in sub-references]] or [[:m:Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#Pilot wikis|volunteer to become a pilot wiki]].
* On wikis using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Mentorship|Mentorship]] system, communities can now opt experienced editors out of Mentorship through [[{{#special:CommunityConfiguration/Mentorship}}]]. Within this setting, communities may define thresholds, based on edit count and account age, to decide when an editor is considered experienced enough to no longer receive Mentorship. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T403563]
* The Editing Team and the Machine Learning Team are working on a new check for newcomers: [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/Tone Check|Tone check]]. Using a prediction model, this check will encourage editors to improve the tone of their edits, using artificial intelligence. We invite volunteers to review the first version of the Tone language model for the following languages: Arabic, Czech, German, Hebrew, Indonesian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, Farsi, Italian, Norwegian, Romanian and Latvian. Users from these wikis interested in reviewing this model are [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit_check/Tone_Check/Model_evaluation|invited to sign up at MediaWiki.org]]. The deadline to sign up is on October 3, which will be the start date of the test.
* The rollout of [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Manage blocks|multiblocks]] had the side effect that non-active block logs may have been shown on {{#special:Contributions}} and on blocked users' user and user_talk pages. This issue will be fully resolved in a few days. As part of the fix, [{{fullurl:Special:Allmessages|prefix=sp-contributions-blocked-notice}} messages prefixed with <code>sp-contributions-blocked-notice</code>] will be removed and replaced with [{{fullurl:Special:Allmessages|prefix=blocked-notice-logextract}} those prefixed with <code>blocked-notice-logextract</code>] in a few weeks. Please help translate the new messages and update any local overrides if needed.
* There was a bug with links added using visual editor if they included characters such as <code dir=ltr><nowiki>[ ] |</nowiki></code> after the fragment identifier (<code><nowiki>#</nowiki></code>). They were not encoded properly creating an incorrect link. This has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T404823]
* One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikiquote/en}} in [[d:Q9237|Malay]] ([[q:ms:|<code>q:ms:</code>]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T404698]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Later this week, editors using Lua modules will be able to use the <code>[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#mw.title.newBatch|mw.title.newBatch]]</code> function to look up the existence of up to 25 pages at once, in a way that only increases the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Parser functions#Expensive parser functions|expensive function]] count once.
* A new [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Unsupported Tools Working Group|Unsupported Tools Working Group]] has been formed as part of ongoing efforts to collectively determine technical work priorities, similar to the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council|Product & Technology Advisory Council]] (PTAC). The working group will help prioritize and review requests for support of unmaintained extensions, gadgets, bots, and tools. For the first cycle, the group will be prioritizing an unsupported Wikimedia Commons tool.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/41|Translations]] are available.
'''Weekly highlight'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#paste|Paste Check]] is a new Edit Check feature to help avoid and fight copyright violations. When editors paste text into an article, Paste Check prompts them to confirm the origin and licensing of the content. Starting Wednesday, 8 October, [[phab:T403680|22 wikis will test Paste Check]]. Paste Check will help new volunteers understand and follow the policies and guidelines necessary to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia projects.
'''Updates for editors'''
* Mobile devices will receive mobile articles directly on the standard domain (like <code>en.wikipedia.org</code>), instead of via a redirect to an "m" domain (like <code>en.m.wikipedia.org</code>). This change improves performance. This week it will be enabled on Wikipedias. The existing mobile URLs and the "Desktop view" opt-out remain available. [[mw:Requests for comment/Mobile domain sunsetting/2025 Announcement|Learn more]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T214998]
* New [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:CirrusSearch#creationdate and lasteditdate|date filters]], <code dir=ltr>creationdate:</code> and <code dir=ltr>lasteditdate:</code>, are now available in the wiki search engine. This allows users to filter search results by a page's first or last revision date. The filters support comparison operators (e.g. <code dir=ltr>>2024</code>) and relative dates (e.g. <code dir=ltr>today-1d</code>), making it easier to find recently updated content or pages within specific age ranges. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T403593]
* [[f:|Wikifunctions]] now supports rich text in embedded calls across the 150 wikis where it's enabled. To showcase this, the team created a [[f:Z26333|Latin declination table]] that Wiktionary editors can use to automatically generate noun forms, producing clear, formatted results — see an [[f:Wikifunctions:Embedded function calls/Wiktionary tables demonstration|example output]]. If you need any help or have any feedback, please [[f:Wikifunctions:Project chat|contact the Wikifunctions Team]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T397402]
* An edit link will now appear inside the categories box on article pages for logged in users, which will directly launch the VisualEditor category dialog. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T291691]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:34}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:34|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, there was a problem downloading pdf files last week and that has been resolved. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T405957]
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The field <code dir=ltr>rev_sha1</code> in the revision database table is being removed in favor of <code dir=ltr>content_sha1</code> in the content database table. See [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/cloud@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/2D2M3SP4WHR6BXXKTZ2PBLZQYR3EGQVR/ the announcement] for more information.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web|Reader Experience team]] will roll out [[w:en:Light-on-dark color scheme|Dark Mode]] user interface on all Wikimedia sites on October 29, 2025. All anonymous users of Wikimedia sites will have the option to activate a color scheme that features light-colored text on a dark background. This is designed to provide a more comfortable reading experience, especially in low-light situations. Template authors and technical contributors are encouraged to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-04|learn how to make pages ready for Dark mode]] and address any compatibility issues found in templates in their wiki before the enablement. Please contact the Web team for questions or any support on [[mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading#|this talk page]] before the enablement. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395628]
* Starting on Monday, October 6, API endpoints under the <code>rest.php</code> path will be rerouted through a new internal API Gateway. Individual wikis will be updated based on the standard release groups, with total traffic increased over time. This change is expected to be non-breaking and non-disruptive. If any issues are observed, please file a Phabricator ticket to the [[phab:tag/serviceops/|Service Ops team board]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T400130]

<div style="text-align:left; padding: .4em;">
In Eritrea, abortion is banned except on the grounds of pregnancy from rape or incest, pregnancy of a minor, or risk to physical or mental health. Legal abortions require medical or judicial approval. Prior to Eritrea's independence, it applied Ethiopia's abortion law of the 1950s, which banned abortion unless life-saving. After independence, the 1991 penal code adapted this law to lift punishments on abortions on the grounds of rape, incest, or risk to life or health, but legal abortions did not exist in effect. The penal codes of 2001 and 2015 required physicians to prove health grounds for abortion. Unsafe abortion is common and contributes to maternal mortality in Eritrea. Post-abortion care is unavailable in some regions.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Last week, improvements to account security and two-factor authentication (2FA) features were enabled across all wikis. These changes include user interface improvements for [https://auth.wikimedia.org/metawiki/wiki/Special:AccountSecurity Special:AccountSecurity], the support of multiple 2FA methods via authenticator apps and portable security keys (previously users could only enable one method), and a new Recovery Codes module which facilitates fewer account lockouts due to lost two-factor apps and devices. As part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Account Security|Account Security]] project, work is continuing through the rest of 2025 on further user experience improvements, and support for passkeys as an alternate second factor.
'''Updates for editors'''
* Another part of the Account security project is making 2FA generally available to all users. Along with editors with advanced privileges, such as administrators and bureaucrats, 40% of editors now have access to 2FA. You can check if you have access at [https://auth.wikimedia.org/metawiki/wiki/Special:AccountSecurity Special:AccountSecurity]. Instructions for activation are on the linked page. The plan is to continue increasing availability if it is determined that the user support capabilities are able to support global usage. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T400579]
* This week, users at wikis where talk page [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/Usability|Usability Improvements]] are already available by default (everywhere ''except'' the 12 wikis listed in [[phab:T379264|T379264]]) will gain the ability to Thank a comment directly from the talk page it appears on. Before this change, Thanking could only be done by visiting the revision history of the talk page. You can [[diffblog:2025/10/13/revolutionizing-gratitude-a-new-era-of-thanking-comments/|learn more about this change]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366095]
* Users who have not [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal-email|verified their email address]] will soon be receiving monthly Notification reminders to do so. This is because users who have verified their email can more easily recover their account. These reminders will not be sent if the user is inactive or removes the unverified email from their account. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Email_confirmation][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T58074]

[[File:Auschwitz Liberated January 1945.jpg|300px|center]]
<div style="text-align:left; padding: .4em;">
On 27 January 1945, Auschwitz—a Nazi concentration camp and extermination camp in occupied Poland where more than a million people were murdered as part of the Nazis' "Final Solution" to the Jewish question—was liberated by the Soviet Red Army during the Vistula–Oder Offensive. Although most of the prisoners had been forced onto a death march, about 7,000 had been left behind. The Soviet soldiers attempted to help the survivors and were shocked at the scale of Nazi crimes. The date is recognized as International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

For example, the issue of flashing colors when holding or pressing the arrow keys under the dark mode settings in Vector 2022 has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T402285]
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The CampaignEvents extension will be deployed to all remaining wikis during the week of 17 November 2025. The extension currently includes three features: Event Registration, Collaboration List, and Invitation List. For this rollout, Invitation List will not be enabled on Wikifunctions and MediaWiki unless requested by those communities. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|Visit the deployment page to learn more]].
* The SwaggerUI-based REST sandbox experience is now live on all wiki projects. The sandbox can be accessed through the [[{{#special:RestSandbox}}]] page. Please report any issues to the MediaWiki Interfaces team board, or join the discussion on the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Interfaces Team/Feature Feedback/REST Sandbox|project launch]] page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/6931/]
* Transform endpoints with a trailing slash path in the MediaWiki REST API are now marked as deprecated. They will remain functional during this time, but removal is expected by the end of January 2026. All API users currently calling them are encouraged to transition to the non-trailing slash versions. Both endpoint variations can be found and tested using the [https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?api=mw-extra&title=Special%3ARestSandbox REST Sandbox]. See the [[mw:API/Deprecation|MediaWiki REST API Deprecation]] page for more detailed information about the API deprecation policies and procedures.
* A dedicated [[mw:API:REST API/Changelog|changelog now exists for the MediaWiki REST API]]. The changelog provides an overview of these changes, making it easier for developers to keep track of improvements and iterations. Announcements will also continue to flow through the standard communication channels, including Tech News and email distribution lists, but can now be more easily referenced from a central location. If you have feedback about the style, structure, or content of this changelog, please [[mw:API talk:REST API/Changelog|join the discussion]].
* Administrators can delete the tracking category which was previously added by the JsonConfig extension, as it is no longer used. See the categories linked from [[d:Q130635582#sitelinks-wikipedia|Q130635582]]. It is OK if there are still pages listed in the category as that is just a caching issue, and they will be automatically cleared out the next time each page is edited.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/45|Translations]] are available.
'''Updates for editors'''
* Administrators will now find that [[{{#special:MergeHistory}}]] is now significantly more flexible about what it can merge. It can now merge sections taken from the middle of the history of the source (rather than only the start) and insert revisions anywhere in the history of the destination page (rather than only the start). [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T382958]
* For users with "{{int:discussiontools-preference-autotopicsub}}" [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|enabled in their preferences]], starting a new topic or adding a reply to an existing topic will now subscribe them to replies to that topic. Previously, this would only happen if the DiscussionTools "{{int:Skin-action-addsection}}" or "{{int:Discussiontools-replybutton}}" widgets were used. When DiscussionTools was originally launched existing accounts were not opted in to automatic topic subscriptions, so this change should primarily affect newer accounts and users who have deliberately changed their preferences since that time. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T290778]
* Scribunto modules can now be used to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#SVG library|generate SVG images]]. This can be used to build charts, graphics and other visualizations dynamically through Lua, reducing the need to compose them externally and upload them as files. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T405861]
* Wikimedia sites now provide all anonymous users with the option to enable a dark mode color scheme, featuring light-colored text on a dark background. This enhancement aims to deliver a more enjoyable reading experience, especially in dimly lit environments. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395628]
* Users with large watchlists have long faced timeouts when editing [[Special:EditWatchlist|Special:EditWatchlist]]. The page now loads entries in smaller sections instead of all at once due to a paging update, allowing everyone to edit their watchlists smoothly. As part of the database update, sorting by expiry has been removed because it was over 100× slower than sorting by title. A [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist/W454 community wish] has been created to explore alternative ways to restore sort-by-expiry. If this feature is important to you, please support the wish! [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T41510]
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:31}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:31|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Since 2019 the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia URL Shortener|Wikimedia URL Shortener]] at https://w.wiki is available for all Wikimedia wikis to create short links to articles, permalinks, diffs, etc. It is available in the sidebar as "Get shortened URL". There are 30 wikis that also install an older "ShortUrl" extension. The old extension will soon be removed. This means <code>/s/</code> URLs will not be advertised under article titles via HTML <code dir=ltr>class="title-shortlink"</code>. The <code>/s/</code> URLs will keep working. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T107188]
* On Thursday, October 30, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Interfaces Team|MediaWiki Interfaces]] and [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Site Reliability Engineering|SRE Service Operations]] teams began rerouting Action API traffic through a common API gateway. Individual wikis will be updated based on the standard release groups, with total traffic increased over time. This change is expected to be non-breaking and non-disruptive. If any issues are observed, please file a Phabricator ticket to the [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/serviceops/ Service Ops team] board.
* MediaWiki Train deployments will pause for the final two weeks of 2025: 22 December and 29 December. Backport windows will also pause between Monday, 22 December 2025 and Thursday, 2 January 2026. A backport window is a scheduled time to add things like bug fixes and configuration changes. There are seven deployment trains remaining for 2025.

'''In depth'''
* In 2025, the Wikimedia Foundation reported that AI systems and search engines increasingly use Wikipedia content without driving users to the site, contributing to an 8% drop in human pageviews compared to 2024. After detecting bots disguised as humans, Wikimedia updated its traffic data to reflect this shift.

A '''marine coastal ecosystem''' is a marine ecosystem which occurs where the land meets the ocean. Worldwide there is about 620,000 kilometres (390,000 mi) of coastline. Coastal habitats extend to the margins of the continental shelves, occupying about 7 percent of the ocean surface area. Marine coastal ecosystems include many very different types of marine habitats, each with their own characteristics and species composition. They are characterized by high levels of biodiversity and productivity.
For example, estuaries are areas where freshwater rivers meet the saltwater of the ocean, creating an environment that is home to a wide variety of species, including fish, shellfish, and birds. Salt marshes are coastal wetlands which thrive on low-energy shorelines in temperate and high-latitude areas, populated with salt-tolerant plants such as cordgrass and marsh elder that provide important nursery areas for many species of fish and shellfish. Mangrove forests survive in the intertidal zones of tropical or subtropical coasts, populated by salt-tolerant trees that protect habitat for many marine species, including crabs, shrimp, and fish.

'''Updates for editors'''
[[File:Talk pages default look (April 2023).jpg|thumb|alt=Screenshot of the visual improvements made on talk pages|Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.]]
* Starting November 12, users will see a change in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/Feature summary#Usability improvements|appearance of talk pages]] on [[Phab:T379264|some Wikipedias]]. Almost [[phab:T392121|all wikis]] have received this design change; [[phab:T409297|English Wikipedia]] will get these changes later. You can read more [[diffblog:2024/05/02/making-talk-pages-better-for-everyone/|on ''Diff'']]. Users can opt out of these changes [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|in their user preferences]] in "{{int:discussiontools-preference-visualenhancements}}". [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T379264]
* MediaWiki can now display a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Protection indicators|page indicator]] automatically while a page is protected. This feature is disabled by default. It can be enabled by [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Requesting wiki configuration changes|community request]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T12347]
* Using the "{{int:showpreview}}" or "{{int:showdiff}}" buttons in the wikitext editor will now carry over certain URL parameters like '[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Parameters to index.php#useskin|useskin]]', '[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Parameters to index.php#uselang|uselang]]' and '[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Section#Editing sections|section]]'. This update also fixes an issue where, if the browser crashed while previewing an edit to a single section, saving this edit could overwrite the entire page with just that section’s content.

* Wikivoyage wikis can use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Kartographer#Markers and counters|colored map markers in the article text]]. The text of these markers will now be shown in contrasting black or white color, instead of always being white. Local workarounds for the problem can be removed.

The new tab offers personalized insights into reading, editing, and donation activity, while simplifying navigation and making app use more engaging. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Android/Activity_Tab_Experiment]
* The Reader Growth team is launching an experiment called "Image browsing" to test how to make it easier for readers to browse and discover images on Wikipedia articles. This experiment, a mobile-only A/B test, will go live on English Wikipedia in the week of November 17 and will run for four weeks, affecting 0.05% of users on English wiki. The test launched on November 3 on Arabic, Chinese, French, Indonesian, and Vietnamese wikis, affecting up to 10% of users on those wikis.

'''Animal-made art''' consists of works by non-human animals, that have been considered by humans to be artistic, including visual works, music, photography, and videography. Some of these are created naturally by animals, often as courtship displays, while others are created with human involvement.
There have been debates about the copyright status of these works, with the United States Copyright Office stating in 2014 that works that lack human authorship cannot have their copyright registered at the US Copyright Office.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Last week, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Search Platform|Wikimedia Search Team]] recreated the "DWIM" (Do What I Mean) gadget functionality server-side, for Russian and Hebrew Wikipedias. This feature adds cross-keyboard suggestions to the standard search-box suggestions. For example, searching for ''<span lang="und" dir="ltr">cxfcnmt</span>'' on Russian Wikipedia will now add suggestions for ''<span lang="ru" dir="ltr">счастье</span>'' ("happiness") that the user probably intended. They plan to enable this feature for other Russian and Hebrew wikis this week. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T408734]
* Later this week, users of the "{{int:codemirror-beta-feature-title}}" [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta feature]] will have syntax highlighting available in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools|DiscussionTools]]. This requires that the "{{int:discussiontools-preference-sourcemodetoolbar}}" preference be set. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T407918]
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|Campaign events extension]] – the set of tools for coordinating events and other on-wiki collaborations has now been deployed to all Wikimedia wikis. A new feature known as [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Collaborative contributions|Collaborative contribution]] to help organizers and participants see the impact of activities has also been added. Join the upcoming [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Connection learning session 3|learning session]] to see the new feature in action and share your feedback.
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:24}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:24|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, the bug which stopped CodeReviewBot from working, has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T410417]
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Users of Wikimedia API can join a usability study to help validate the new design of Wikimedia REST API sandboxes. Interested participants should fill the [https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/487662 recruitment survey]. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/IREJRRWTZTGCYWQHDMSNJFTQAEPOOAE3/]
* The MediaWiki Interfaces team is deprecating XSLT stylesheets within the Action API. Support for <code dir=ltr>format=xml'''&xlst={stylesheet}'''</code> will be removed from Wikimedia projects by the end of November, 2025. In addition, it will soon be disabled by default in MediaWiki release versions: v1.43 (LTS), v1.44, and v1.45. Support for XSLT stylesheets will be fully removed from MediaWiki v1.46 (expected to release between April and May 2026). [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/5AX7UWAVVUNUSBOIRHMNOKWOZ5EZI3JX/]
* The WDQS legacy endpoint ([https://query-legacy-full.wikidata.org/ query-legacy-full.wikidata.org]) will be decommissioned at the end of December 2025, and finally closed down on 7th January 2026. After this date, users should expect requests to query.wikidata.org that require the full graph to fail or return invalid results if they are not rewritten to use SPARQL federation. The team encourages users to ensure that tools and workflows use the supported WDQS endpoints (<span dir=ltr><nowiki>https://query.wikidata.org/</nowiki></span> - Main graph or <span dir=ltr><nowiki>https://query-scholarly.wikidata.org/</nowiki></span> - Scholarly graph). For support with migrating use cases, please review the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Data_access|Data Access]] and [[d:Wikidata:Request_a_query|Request a Query]] pages for details and assistance on alternative access methods.

The term "'''halachic state'''" (Hebrew: מְדִינַת הֲלָכָה Medīnat Hălāḵā) refers to a sovereign state that endorses Judaism in an official capacity and governs by Jewish religious law. It has been a subject of discussion among Orthodox Jews, particularly with regard to modern Israel, which, although a Jewish state, is not classified as a theocracy.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Wikipedia Year in Review 2025 will be available on December 2 for users of iOS and Android Wikipedia apps, featuring new personalized insights, updated reading highlights, and refreshed designs. Learn more on the review's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Wikipedia Year in Review/Updates|project page]].
* The Growth team is working on improving the text and presentation of the Verification Email sent to new users to make them more welcoming, useful and informative. Some new text have been drafted for A/B testing and you can help by translating them. See [[phab:T396155|Phabricator]].
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Add a link|Add a link]] will now be deployed at Japanese, Urdu and Chinese Wikipedias on December 2. Add a link is based on a prediction model that suggests links to be added to articles. While this feature has already been available on most Wikipedias, the prediction model could not support certain languages. A new model has now been developed to handle these languages, and it will be gradually rolled out to other Wikipedias over time. If you would like to know more, please contact [[mw:user:Trizek (WMF)|Trizek (WMF)]].

'''In depth'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation is in the early stages of exploring approaches to '''Article guidance'''. The initiative aims to identify interventions that could help new editors easily understand and apply existing Wikipedia practices and policies when creating an article. The project is in the exploration and early experimental design phase. All community members are encouraged to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance|learn more]] about the project, and share their thoughts on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Article guidance|the talk page]].

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Anybody who wishes to secure their user account can now use [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Two-factor authentication|two-factor authentication]] (2FA). This is available to all registered users of all Wikimedia projects. This is part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Account Security|Account Security]] initiative. Later, 2FA will be required for all users who can take security- or privacy-sensitive actions.
'''Updates for editors'''
* Following last week's deployments, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Add a link|Add a link]] feature, which allows editors to add suggested links during editing, will be available to an additional [[Phab:T410469|33 Wikipedias]] starting on 9 December. This expansion is possible thanks to the new prediction model that now supports all languages, including those that were previously not covered. While the feature has been available on most Wikipedias for some time, this rollout brings us closer to using the improved model everywhere. If you have any questions or would like more details please contact [[mw:user:Trizek (WMF)|Trizek (WMF)]].
* Last week, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Search Platform|Search Platform team]] added [[w:en:Transliteration|transliterated]] as-you-type search suggestions to Georgian wikis. If there are only a few regular search suggestions, then queries in Latin or Cyrillic script [[phab:T127003|are now rewritten into Georgian script]] to look for more matches. For example, searching for either <bdi lang="ka-Latn" dir="ltr">''bedniereba''</bdi> or <bdi lang="ka-Cyrl" dir="ltr">''бедниереба''</bdi> will now suggest the existing article about <bdi lang="ka" dir="ltr">ბედნიერება</bdi> ("happiness"). You can recommend other languages where transliterated suggestions would be useful [[phab:T375215|on Phabricator]] for future development.
* Later this week, a controlled experiment will begin for editors on the 100 largest Wikipedias who are editing a section in the mobile web visual editor. 50% of these editors will notice a new "Edit full page" button that will enable them to expand their editing session to the whole page. This feature is intended to make it easier for people on mobile web to edit any article section, regardless of which section-edit icon they tapped to begin. The experiment will last ~4 weeks. You can find [[phab:T409112|more details]] about the project.
* Later this week, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth|Reader Growth team]] will launch a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/WE3.1.14 Expanded Mobile Sections|mobile web experiment]] to expand all article sections by default (currently they are collapsed by default) and pin the section header the user is currently reading to the top of the page. The experiment will affect 10% of users on Arabic, Chinese, French, Indonesian, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T409485]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Wikipedia Year in Review/2025 Year in Review|Wikipedia Year in Review 2025]], a feature in the Wikipedia mobile apps (iOS and Android) that provides users with a personalised summary of their engagement with Wikipedia over the year, is now available on the iOS and Android apps. This edition includes expanded personalised insights, improved reading highlights, new donor messaging, and updated designs. Open the app to view your Year in Review and explore your reading journey from 2025.
* A recent software bug caused edits made with VisualEditor to make unintended changes to wikitext, including removing whitespace and replacing spaces with underscores in wikilinks inside citations. This was partially fixed last week, and further fixes are in progress. Editors who used VisualEditor between November 28 and December 2 should review their edits for unexpected modifications. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T411238]
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:23}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:23|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, the incorrect handling of URLs copied from the address bar of Microsoft Edge users, has been resolved. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T341281]
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Starting this week, users of the "{{int:codemirror-beta-feature-title}}" [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta feature]] will have [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror]] as the editor for Lua, JavaScript, CSS, JSON and Vue content models, instead of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeEditor|CodeEditor]]. With this, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror#Linting|linters]] will be upgraded. This is part of a larger effort to eventually replace CodeEditor and provide a consistent code editing experience. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373711]
* Developers are encouraged to take the [https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/552643 2025 Developer Satisfaction Survey], which remains open until 5 January 2026. If you build software for the Wikimedia ecosystem and would like to share your experiences or feedback, your participation is greatly appreciated. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/W4WBKO6Q55UWWCCSFWQATKEXBEHP3QNR/]

Many [[Palestinian people|Palestinian]] lived in [[Kuwait]] but left after the [[1990 Gulf War]]. The Palestinian community in Kuwait was a large and important group of foreign residents. From the mid-20th century until the 1990 Gulf War, they played a key role in building and developing the country. At its height, this community was one of the most active and important Palestinian groups abroad, acting as a center for both political activity and economic life. However, after the [[Palestine Liberation Organization|Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO)]] supported Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990, most Palestinians left Kuwait and went to Jordan. This is called the Palestinian exodus from Kuwait. <ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=42-54}}</ref>
=== '''History and migration waves''' ===
Palestinian migration to Kuwait took place in several waves, mainly linked to wars and political changes in [[Middle East|the Middle East]].
==== '''Early presence and first wave (before and after 1948)''' ====
Palestinians were already present in Kuwait before the [[1948 Arab–Israeli War|1948 Arab-Israeli War]]. By 1936, Palestinian teachers were working in Kuwaiti schools and were known for their high level of education.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=86-87, 95}}</ref> After the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, a first wave of Palestinian migrants arrived in Kuwait. Many were well-educated professionals such as teachers and civil servants. They played an important role in developing the new state’s government and education system during the early oil era.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann Lesch|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine studies|volume=20|pages=42-43}}</ref> Kuwait’s so called oil boom led to a demand for skilled workers, and made Kuwait a popular destination for Palestinians.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=42}}</ref>
By 1957, Palestinians made up about 16% of Kuwait’s foreign population. Palestinian migrants during this period were mostly male, with only about 25% of migrants being women. Migration increased further in 1958-1959 when Jordan temporarily allowed easier travel, since many Palestinians had Jordanian passports.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=43}}</ref>
==== '''Second wave (after 1967)''' ====
After the [[Six-Day War|1967 Six-Day War]], a much larger group of Palestinians moved to Kuwait, especially from the [[West Bank]] and [[Gaza Strip|the Gaza Strip]]. The population grew rapidly, from about 77,000 in 1965 to over 204,000 in 1975. How people moved also changed. Instead of mostly men migrating alone, entire families began to move. By 1975, the number of men and women in the community was almost equal.<ref name=":1" />
==== '''Third wave and stricter policies (after 1975)''' ====
From the mid-1970s, Kuwait made it harder for people to move there. This is because of wars in nearby countries, like [[Lebanon]] and [[Iraq]]. The Kuwaiti government feared that regional tensions could spread to Kuwait.<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=44}}</ref>
In 1968-1969, the ''[[Kafala system|Kafala]]'' (sponsorship) system was introduced. Under this system, foreign residents needed a Kuwaiti sponsor (usually an employer) to live and work in the country. Residency was directly tied to employment, meaning that when a job ended, the right to stay also ended.<ref name=":1" />
This system had many results for Palestinians. They could not obtain permanent residency or [[citizenship]], and they were not allowed to retire in Kuwait. Adult children also needed their own sponsor to remain in the country. As a result, Palestinians faced insecurity. Unlike many other migrant groups, they often had no clear country to return to.<ref name=":1" />
By 1990, around 400,000 Palestinians lived in Kuwait, compared to about 600,000 Kuwaiti citizens. <ref name=":3">{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? The Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=88}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> Already before the [[Iraqi invasion of Kuwait|Iraqi invasion]], Kuwait became less welcoming to Palestinians because of economic problems and unemployment.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Le Troquer|first=Yann|last2=Al-Oudat|first2=Rozenn Hommery|date=1999|title=From Kuwait to Jordan: The Palestinians' Third Exodus|url=https://doi.org/10.2307/2538306|journal=Journal of Palestine studies|volume=28|issue=3|pages=38}}</ref> The Iraqi invasion increased these tensions.
=== '''Economic and social impact of Palestinians in Kuwait''' ===
Palestinians played a major role in building modern Kuwait:
==== '''Government and private sector''' ====
Palestinians played a big role in building Kuwait’s government institutions after Kuwait’s independence.<ref name=":0" /> In the 1960s, many worked for the government, including senior positions in ministries such as the Ministry of the Interior.<ref name=":4">{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido Zelkovitz|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=87}}</ref>
As Kuwait became more modern, the government introduced a policy of “Kuwaitization” in the mid-1960s to increase employment for Kuwaiti citizens.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Al-Nakib|first=Mai|date=2014-02|title=‘The People are Missing’: Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://www.euppublishing.com/doi/10.3366/dls.2014.0132|journal=Deleuze Studies|language=en|volume=8|issue=1|pages=27|doi=10.3366/dls.2014.0132|issn=1750-2241}}</ref> Kuwaitis got higher salaries and more secure jobs than foreign workers, which gradually reduced Palestinian participation in government jobs. By the mid-1970s, Palestinians still had important roles, but their share in public sector jobs had declined a lot.<ref name=":5">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal in Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=44-45}}</ref>
Palestinians were also active in the private sector, especially in trade and banking. However, their economic influence was limited by law. A 1965 regulation required Kuwaiti majority ownership of industrial companies, and only Kuwaitis were allowed to own banks.<ref name=":1" /> Despite these restrictions, Palestinians remained important contributors to the economy, and around 2,000 were granted Kuwaiti citizenship in the first half of the 1960s in recognition of their role in state-building.<ref name=":3" />
==== '''Education''' ====
Education was one of the most important fields for Palestinians in Kuwait. From the 1930s onward, Palestinian teachers were already working in Kuwaiti schools and were known for their high educational standards.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido Zelkovitz|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=86-87, 95}}</ref> After independence, their role expanded a lot.
By the early 1960s, around half of all teachers in Kuwait were Palestinian.<ref name=":4" /> In 1966-1967, they still made up about 49% of the teaching workforce.<ref name=":1" /> Palestinians also held government positions in the education sector and contributed to building the modern school system.<ref name=":0" />
From the mid-1960s, the government began limiting access for non-Kuwaitis. In 1965, a [[quota]] restricted non-Kuwaiti students to 25% of school enrollment, which was further reduced to 10% in 1967-1968.<ref name=":1" /> Secondary schools remained open within these quotas, and Palestinians could also compete for around 10% of places at Kuwait University.<ref name=":2" />
In response to these limits, the PLO established its own school system in Kuwait, often using public school buildings after hours. By 1976, more than 16,000 Palestinian children were enrolled in these schools.<ref name=":1" /> However, the Ministry of Education closed them in 1976.
By the mid-1970s, the share of Palestinian teachers had fallen to about 25% as part of broader “Kuwaitization” policies. After 1991, Palestinian children were excluded from public education, and subsidies for private schooling were reduced.<ref name=":5" />
==== '''Politics''' ====
Kuwait provided a relatively open environment for Palestinian political activity compared to many other Arab states. Palestinian organisations were active in both formal and informal political life, but most Palestinians in Kuwait avoided direct involvement in Kuwaiti politics and focused instead on the Palestinian national cause.<ref name=":0" />
The most important political movement was [[Fatah]], which was founded in Kuwait in 1959 by [[Yasser Arafat]] and other activists.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=87-89}}</ref> Kuwait was also one of the first countries to allow the PLO to operate officially, and it provided financial support to the organisation. From the late 1960s, a system was introduced in which 5% of Palestinian salaries was deducted and transferred to the PLO’s [[Palestine National Fund]].<ref name=":6">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=42-44}}</ref> <ref>{{Cite book|title=A history of the modern Middle East: rulers, rebels, and rogues|last=Anderson|first=Betty S.|date=2016|publisher=Stanford University Press|isbn=978-0-8047-8324-8|location=Stanford, California|pages=344}}</ref>
Palestinian students were also politically active, especially at Kuwait University, where student organizations reflected broader Palestinian political movements.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=90-91}}</ref>
After the 1990-1991 Gulf War, Palestinian political life in Kuwait collapsed. The PLO office was largely closed, Fatah’s presence was severely reduced, and its office was burned. Several Palestinian activists faced harassment and arrests.<ref name=":6" />
=== '''The 1990 Crisis and Decline''' ===
The period of relative success for the Palestinian community in Kuwait ended in 1990. A major turning point was the position of Yasser Arafat, who supported [[Saddam Hussein]] during Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait.<ref name=":7">{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=96}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=A history of the modern Middle East: rulers, rebels, and rogues|last=Anderson|first=Betty S.|date=2016|publisher=Stanford University Press|isbn=978-0-8047-8324-8|location=Stanford, California|pages=350}}</ref> Arafat supported Saddam Hussein because he stood up to Israel and wanted to link withdrawal from Kuwait to the end of the [[Israeli occupation of the West Bank|Israeli occupation]] of Palestine.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Anderson|first=Jack|last2=Van Atta|first2=Dale|date=August 25, 1990|title=Why Arafat backed Saddam|work=The Washington Post|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1990/08/26/why-arafat-backed-saddam/904a9366-c1e0-4294-ab64-1391b0e3b452/}}</ref> This decision had serious results for Palestinians living in Kuwait.
Before the Iraqi invasion on 2 August 1990, about 400,000 Palestinians lived in Kuwait.<ref name=":0" /> The Iraqi occupation (August 1990 - February 1991) led to the collapse of this community. By December 1990, only about 150,000 Palestinians remained.<ref name=":8">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=47}}</ref>
During the occupation, the Palestinian community was divided. Some supported Iraq, while others joined the Kuwaiti [[Resistance movement|resistance]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Ibrahim|first=Youssef M.|date=March 14, 1991|title=AFTER THE WAR: Kuwait; Palestinians in Kuwait Face Suspicion and Probable Exile|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/03/14/world/after-the-war-kuwait-palestinians-in-kuwait-face-suspicion-and-probable-exile.html}}</ref> Some Palestinians were arrested by Iraqi forces, with up to 5,000 people detained. The existence of pro-Iraqi Palestinian groups also damaged the community’s image among Kuwaitis.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=45}}</ref> After Kuwait was liberated, Palestinians faced violence and punishment. Many Kuwaitis blamed them for the position of the PLO) and other Arab governments that had supported Iraq.<ref name=":8" /> Between 400 and 600 young Palestinian men disappeared and were killed, and a similar number were kidnapped by militias and security forces.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=47-48}}</ref>
The Palestinians that left Kuwait can be divided into three groups: Palestinians that left before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and could not come back, Palestinians that fled during the war with Iraq and Palestinians that were forced to leave after the war.<ref name=":9">{{Cite journal|last=Le Troquer|first=Yann|last2=Al-Oudat|first2=Rozenn Hommery|date=1999|title=The Palestinians' Third Exodus|url=https://doi.org/10.2307/2538306|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=28|issue=3|pages=39}}</ref> Most of the Palestinians in Kuwait went to Jordan in 1990 and 1991. About 300,000 Palestinians went to Jordan, and therefore Palestinians made up about 10% of Jordan’s population. Most of this group had Jordanian passports.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Le Troquer|first=Yann|last2=Al-Oudat|first2=Rozenn Hommery|date=1999|title=From Kuwait to Jordan: The Palestinians' Third Exodus|url=https://doi.org/10.2307/2538306|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=28|issue=3|pages=37}}</ref>
Jordan struggled with the sudden arrival of large groups of Palestinians from Kuwait. The sudden arrival of around 300,000 Palestinians led to a 30% rise in school enrollments.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=41}}</ref> Many Palestinians could not find a job in Jordan.<ref name=":0" /> But Jordan’s economy was surprisingly able to absorb the Palestinians from Kuwait.<ref name=":1" />
Many Palestinians tried to leave Kuwait but faced serious problems:
Financially, many did not receive the money they were owed after years of work.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=50-51}}</ref>
Legally, they had to go through difficult identification procedures and often could not get permission to leave.<ref name=":10">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=51}}</ref> Because of world politics, travel was also restricted: [[Saudi Arabia]] refused transit [[Visa|visas]] for travel by land, and Kuwaiti airlines were told not to sell tickets to Palestinians.<ref name=":11">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=53}}</ref>
The group most at risk included 15,000-20,000 Palestinians with [[Egypt|Egyptian]] travel documents from Gaza or temporary Jordanian passports, as no country agreed to accept them.<ref name=":11" /> This group depended on the Jordanian government being willing to let them live in Jordan.<ref name=":9" />
=== '''Recent Developments''' ===
After 1991, relations between Kuwait and the Palestinians remained tense for several years. The Palestinian community in Kuwait became much smaller and weaker.<ref name=":10" />
Most Palestinians were not allowed to return to government jobs, and many of these jobs were given to workers from Egypt instead.<ref name=":10" /> This was part of a wider policy that excluded Palestinians from work in the government.
Over time, some restrictions were reduced, but the community never returned to its earlier size or influence.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=51-53}}</ref> Today, Palestinians in Kuwait are a smaller foreign group with fewer rights than before 1990.
Relations began to improve after the death of Arafat in 2004.<ref name=":7" /> In 2005, [[Mahmoud Abbas]], who became the leader of the PLO after Arafat's death, officially apologized to Kuwait. This helped restore diplomatic relations.<ref name=":12">{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=97}}</ref> In 2013, a Palestinian embassy opened again in Kuwait.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Al-Nakib|first=Mai|date=2014-02|title=‘The People are Missing’: Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://www.euppublishing.com/doi/10.3366/dls.2014.0132|journal=Deleuze Studies|language=en|volume=8|issue=1|pages=33|doi=10.3366/dls.2014.0132|issn=1750-2241}}</ref> Since then, changing regional politics have led to a more careful and practical relationship between Kuwait and the Palestinian leadership, although the effects of the 1990 crisis are still visible.<ref name=":12" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Al-Nakib|first=Mai|date=2014-02|title=‘The People are Missing’: Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://www.euppublishing.com/doi/10.3366/dls.2014.0132|journal=Deleuze Studies|language=en|volume=8|issue=1|pages=35|doi=10.3366/dls.2014.0132|issn=1750-2241}}</ref>

By 1957, Palestinians made up about 16% of Kuwait’s foreign population. Palestinian migrants during this period were mostly male, with only about 25% of migrants being women. Migration increased further in 1958-1959 when Jordan temporarily allowed easier travel, since many Palestinians had Jordanian passports.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=43}}</ref>
==== '''Second wave (after 1967)''' ====
After the [[Six-Day War|1967 Six-Day War]], a much larger group of Palestinians moved to Kuwait, especially from the [[West Bank]] and [[Gaza Strip|the Gaza Strip]]. The population grew rapidly, from about 77,000 in 1965 to over 204,000 in 1975. How people moved also changed. Instead of mostly men migrating alone, entire families began to move. By 1975, the number of men and women in the community was almost equal.<ref name=":1" />
==== '''Third wave and stricter policies (after 1975)''' ====
From the mid-1970s, Kuwait made it harder for people to move there. This is because of wars in nearby countries, like [[Lebanon]] and [[Iraq]]. The Kuwaiti government feared that regional tensions could spread to Kuwait.<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=44}}</ref>
In 1968-1969, the ''[[Kafala system|Kafala]]'' (sponsorship) system was introduced. Under this system, foreign residents needed a Kuwaiti sponsor (usually an employer) to live and work in the country. Residency was directly tied to employment, meaning that when a job ended, the right to stay also ended.<ref name=":1" />
This system had many results for Palestinians. They could not obtain permanent residency or [[citizenship]], and they were not allowed to retire in Kuwait. Adult children also needed their own sponsor to remain in the country. As a result, Palestinians faced insecurity. Unlike many other migrant groups, they often had no clear country to return to.<ref name=":1" />
By 1990, around 400,000 Palestinians lived in Kuwait, compared to about 600,000 Kuwaiti citizens. <ref name=":3">{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost?

=== '''Economic and social impact of Palestinians in Kuwait''' ===
Palestinians played a major role in building modern Kuwait:
==== '''Government and private sector''' ====
Palestinians played a big role in building Kuwait’s government institutions after Kuwait’s independence.<ref name=":0" /> In the 1960s, many worked for the government, including senior positions in ministries such as the Ministry of the Interior.<ref name=":4">{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido Zelkovitz|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=87}}</ref>
As Kuwait became more modern, the government introduced a policy of “Kuwaitization” in the mid-1960s to increase employment for Kuwaiti citizens.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Al-Nakib|first=Mai|date=2014-02|title=‘The People are Missing’: Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://www.euppublishing.com/doi/10.3366/dls.2014.0132|journal=Deleuze Studies|language=en|volume=8|issue=1|pages=27|doi=10.3366/dls.2014.0132|issn=1750-2241}}</ref> Kuwaitis got higher salaries and more secure jobs than foreign workers, which gradually reduced Palestinian participation in government jobs. By the mid-1970s, Palestinians still had important roles, but their share in public sector jobs had declined a lot.<ref name=":5">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal in Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=44-45}}</ref>
Palestinians were also active in the private sector, especially in trade and banking. However, their economic influence was limited by law. A 1965 regulation required Kuwaiti majority ownership of industrial companies, and only Kuwaitis were allowed to own banks.<ref name=":1" /> Despite these restrictions, Palestinians remained important contributors to the economy, and around 2,000 were granted Kuwaiti citizenship in the first half of the 1960s in recognition of their role in state-building.<ref name=":3" />
==== '''Education''' ====
Education was one of the most important fields for Palestinians in Kuwait. From the 1930s onward, Palestinian teachers were already working in Kuwaiti schools and were known for their high educational standards.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido Zelkovitz|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=86-87, 95}}</ref> After independence, their role expanded a lot.
By the early 1960s, around half of all teachers in Kuwait were Palestinian.<ref name=":4" /> In 1966-1967, they still made up about 49% of the teaching workforce.<ref name=":1" /> Palestinians also held government positions in the education sector and contributed to building the modern school system.<ref name=":0" />
From the mid-1960s, the government began limiting access for non-Kuwaitis. In 1965, a [[quota]] restricted non-Kuwaiti students to 25% of school enrollment, which was further reduced to 10% in 1967-1968.<ref name=":1" /> Secondary schools remained open within these quotas, and Palestinians could also compete for around 10% of places at Kuwait University.<ref name=":2" />
In response to these limits, the PLO established its own school system in Kuwait, often using public school buildings after hours. By 1976, more than 16,000 Palestinian children were enrolled in these schools.<ref name=":1" /> However, the Ministry of Education closed them in 1976.
By the mid-1970s, the share of Palestinian teachers had fallen to about 25% as part of broader “Kuwaitization” policies. After 1991, Palestinian children were excluded from public education, and subsidies for private schooling were reduced.<ref name=":5" />
==== '''Politics''' ====
Kuwait provided a relatively open environment for Palestinian political activity compared to many other Arab states. Palestinian organisations were active in both formal and informal political life, but most Palestinians in Kuwait avoided direct involvement in Kuwaiti politics and focused instead on the Palestinian national cause.<ref name=":0" />
The most important political movement was [[Fatah]], which was founded in Kuwait in 1959 by [[Yasser Arafat]] and other activists.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=87-89}}</ref> Kuwait was also one of the first countries to allow the PLO to operate officially, and it provided financial support to the organisation. From the late 1960s, a system was introduced in which 5% of Palestinian salaries was deducted and transferred to the PLO’s [[Palestine National Fund]].<ref name=":6">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=42-44}}</ref> <ref>{{Cite book|title=A history of the modern Middle East: rulers, rebels, and rogues|last=Anderson|first=Betty S.|date=2016|publisher=Stanford University Press|isbn=978-0-8047-8324-8|location=Stanford, California|pages=344}}</ref>
Palestinian students were also politically active, especially at Kuwait University, where student organizations reflected broader Palestinian political movements.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=90-91}}</ref>
After the 1990-1991 Gulf War, Palestinian political life in Kuwait collapsed. The PLO office was largely closed, Fatah’s presence was severely reduced, and its office was burned. Several Palestinian activists faced harassment and arrests.<ref name=":6" />
=== '''The 1990 Crisis and Decline''' ===
The period of relative success for the Palestinian community in Kuwait ended in 1990. A major turning point was the position of Yasser Arafat, who supported [[Saddam Hussein]] during Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait.<ref name=":7">{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=96}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=A history of the modern Middle East: rulers, rebels, and rogues|last=Anderson|first=Betty S.|date=2016|publisher=Stanford University Press|isbn=978-0-8047-8324-8|location=Stanford, California|pages=350}}</ref> Arafat supported Saddam Hussein because he stood up to Israel and wanted to link withdrawal from Kuwait to the end of the [[Israeli occupation of the West Bank|Israeli occupation]] of Palestine.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Anderson|first=Jack|last2=Van Atta|first2=Dale|date=August 25, 1990|title=Why Arafat backed Saddam|work=The Washington Post|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1990/08/26/why-arafat-backed-saddam/904a9366-c1e0-4294-ab64-1391b0e3b452/}}</ref> This decision had serious results for Palestinians living in Kuwait.
Before the Iraqi invasion on 2 August 1990, about 400,000 Palestinians lived in Kuwait.<ref name=":0" /> The Iraqi occupation (August 1990 - February 1991) led to the collapse of this community. By December 1990, only about 150,000 Palestinians remained.<ref name=":8">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=47}}</ref>
During the occupation, the Palestinian community was divided. Some supported Iraq, while others joined the Kuwaiti [[Resistance movement|resistance]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Ibrahim|first=Youssef M.|date=March 14, 1991|title=AFTER THE WAR: Kuwait; Palestinians in Kuwait Face Suspicion and Probable Exile|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/03/14/world/after-the-war-kuwait-palestinians-in-kuwait-face-suspicion-and-probable-exile.html}}</ref> Some Palestinians were arrested by Iraqi forces, with up to 5,000 people detained. The existence of pro-Iraqi Palestinian groups also damaged the community’s image among Kuwaitis.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=45}}</ref> After Kuwait was liberated, Palestinians faced violence and punishment. Many Kuwaitis blamed them for the position of the PLO) and other Arab governments that had supported Iraq.<ref name=":8" /> Between 400 and 600 young Palestinian men disappeared and were killed, and a similar number were kidnapped by militias and security forces.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=47-48}}</ref>
The Palestinians that left Kuwait can be divided into three groups: Palestinians that left before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and could not come back, Palestinians that fled during the war with Iraq and Palestinians that were forced to leave after the war.<ref name=":9">{{Cite journal|last=Le Troquer|first=Yann|last2=Al-Oudat|first2=Rozenn Hommery|date=1999|title=The Palestinians' Third Exodus|url=https://doi.org/10.2307/2538306|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=28|issue=3|pages=39}}</ref> Most of the Palestinians in Kuwait went to Jordan in 1990 and 1991. About 300,000 Palestinians went to Jordan, and therefore Palestinians made up about 10% of Jordan’s population. Most of this group had Jordanian passports.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Le Troquer|first=Yann|last2=Al-Oudat|first2=Rozenn Hommery|date=1999|title=From Kuwait to Jordan: The Palestinians' Third Exodus|url=https://doi.org/10.2307/2538306|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=28|issue=3|pages=37}}</ref>
Jordan struggled with the sudden arrival of large groups of Palestinians from Kuwait. The sudden arrival of around 300,000 Palestinians led to a 30% rise in school enrollments.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=41}}</ref> Many Palestinians could not find a job in Jordan.<ref name=":0" /> But Jordan’s economy was surprisingly able to absorb the Palestinians from Kuwait.<ref name=":1" />
Many Palestinians tried to leave Kuwait but faced serious problems:
Financially, many did not receive the money they were owed after years of work.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=50-51}}</ref>
Legally, they had to go through difficult identification procedures and often could not get permission to leave.<ref name=":10">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=51}}</ref> Because of world politics, travel was also restricted: [[Saudi Arabia]] refused transit [[Visa|visas]] for travel by land, and Kuwaiti airlines were told not to sell tickets to Palestinians.<ref name=":11">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=53}}</ref>
The group most at risk included 15,000-20,000 Palestinians with [[Egypt|Egyptian]] travel documents from Gaza or temporary Jordanian passports, as no country agreed to accept them.<ref name=":11" /> This group depended on the Jordanian government being willing to let them live in Jordan.<ref name=":9" />
=== '''Recent Developments''' ===
After 1991, relations between Kuwait and the Palestinians remained tense for several years. The Palestinian community in Kuwait became much smaller and weaker.<ref name=":10" />
Most Palestinians were not allowed to return to government jobs, and many of these jobs were given to workers from Egypt instead.<ref name=":10" /> This was part of a wider policy that excluded Palestinians from work in the government.
Over time, some restrictions were reduced, but the community never returned to its earlier size or influence.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=51-53}}</ref> Today, Palestinians in Kuwait are a smaller foreign group with fewer rights than before 1990.
Relations began to improve after the death of Arafat in 2004.<ref name=":7" /> In 2005, [[Mahmoud Abbas]], who became the leader of the PLO after Arafat's death, officially apologized to Kuwait. This helped restore diplomatic relations.<ref name=":12">{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=97}}</ref> In 2013, a Palestinian embassy opened again in Kuwait.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Al-Nakib|first=Mai|date=2014-02|title=‘The People are Missing’: Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://www.euppublishing.com/doi/10.3366/dls.2014.0132|journal=Deleuze Studies|language=en|volume=8|issue=1|pages=33|doi=10.3366/dls.2014.0132|issn=1750-2241}}</ref> Since then, changing regional politics have led to a more careful and practical relationship between Kuwait and the Palestinian leadership, although the effects of the 1990 crisis are still visible.<ref name=":12" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Al-Nakib|first=Mai|date=2014-02|title=‘The People are Missing’: Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://www.euppublishing.com/doi/10.3366/dls.2014.0132|journal=Deleuze Studies|language=en|volume=8|issue=1|pages=35|doi=10.3366/dls.2014.0132|issn=1750-2241}}</ref>

Many [[Palestinian people|Palestinian]] lived in [[Kuwait]] but left after the [[Gulf War|1990 Gulf War.]] The Palestinian community in Kuwait was a large and important group of foreign residents. From the mid-20th century until the 1990 Gulf War, they played a key role in building and developing the country. At its height, this community was one of the most active and important Palestinian groups abroad, acting as a center for both political activity and economic life. However, after the [[Palestine Liberation Organization|Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO)]] supported Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990, most Palestinians left Kuwait and went to Jordan. This is called the Palestinian exodus from Kuwait. <ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=42-54}}</ref>

Palestinian migration to Kuwait took place in several waves, mainly linked to wars and political changes in [[Middle East|the Middle East]].

A 1965 regulation required Kuwaiti majority ownership of industrial companies, and only Kuwaitis were allowed to own banks.<ref name=":1" /> Despite these restrictions, Palestinians remained important contributors to the economy, and around 2,000 were granted Kuwaiti citizenship in the first half of the 1960s in recognition of their role in state-building.<ref name=":3" />
==== '''Education''' ====
Education was one of the most important fields for Palestinians in Kuwait. From the 1930s onward, Palestinian teachers were already working in Kuwaiti schools and were known for their high educational standards.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido Zelkovitz|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=86-87, 95}}</ref> After independence, their role expanded a lot.
By the early 1960s, around half of all teachers in Kuwait were Palestinian.<ref name=":4" /> In 1966-1967, they still made up about 49% of the teaching workforce.<ref name=":1" /> Palestinians also held government positions in the education sector and contributed to building the modern school system.<ref name=":0" />
From the mid-1960s, the government began limiting access for non-Kuwaitis. In 1965, a [[quota]] restricted non-Kuwaiti students to 25% of school enrollment, which was further reduced to 10% in 1967-1968.<ref name=":1" /> Secondary schools remained open within these quotas, and Palestinians could also compete for around 10% of places at Kuwait University.<ref name=":2" />
In response to these limits, the PLO established its own school system in Kuwait, often using public school buildings after hours. By 1976, more than 16,000 Palestinian children were enrolled in these schools.<ref name=":1" /> However, the Ministry of Education closed them in 1976.
By the mid-1970s, the share of Palestinian teachers had fallen to about 25% as part of broader “Kuwaitization” policies. After 1991, Palestinian children were excluded from public education, and subsidies for private schooling were reduced.<ref name=":5" />
==== '''Politics''' ====
Kuwait provided a relatively open environment for Palestinian political activity compared to many other Arab states. Palestinian organisations were active in both formal and informal political life, but most Palestinians in Kuwait avoided direct involvement in Kuwaiti politics and focused instead on the Palestinian national cause.<ref name=":0" />
The most important political movement was [[Fatah]], which was founded in Kuwait in 1959 by [[Yasser Arafat]] and other activists.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=87-89}}</ref> Kuwait was also one of the first countries to allow the PLO to operate officially, and it provided financial support to the organisation. From the late 1960s, a system was introduced in which 5% of Palestinian salaries was deducted and transferred to the PLO’s [[Palestine National Fund]].<ref name=":6">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=42-44}}</ref> <ref>{{Cite book|title=A history of the modern Middle East: rulers, rebels, and rogues|last=Anderson|first=Betty S.|date=2016|publisher=Stanford University Press|isbn=978-0-8047-8324-8|location=Stanford, California|pages=344}}</ref>
Palestinian students were also politically active, especially at Kuwait University, where student organizations reflected broader Palestinian political movements.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=90-91}}</ref>
After the 1990-1991 Gulf War, Palestinian political life in Kuwait collapsed. The PLO office was largely closed, Fatah’s presence was severely reduced, and its office was burned. Several Palestinian activists faced harassment and arrests.<ref name=":6" />
=== '''The 1990 Crisis and Decline''' ===
The period of relative success for the Palestinian community in Kuwait ended in 1990. A major turning point was the position of Yasser Arafat, who supported [[Saddam Hussein]] during Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait.<ref name=":7">{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=96}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=A history of the modern Middle East: rulers, rebels, and rogues|last=Anderson|first=Betty S.|date=2016|publisher=Stanford University Press|isbn=978-0-8047-8324-8|location=Stanford, California|pages=350}}</ref> Arafat supported Saddam Hussein because he stood up to Israel and wanted to link withdrawal from Kuwait to the end of the [[Israeli occupation of the West Bank|Israeli occupation]] of Palestine.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Anderson|first=Jack|last2=Van Atta|first2=Dale|date=August 25, 1990|title=Why Arafat backed Saddam|work=The Washington Post|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1990/08/26/why-arafat-backed-saddam/904a9366-c1e0-4294-ab64-1391b0e3b452/}}</ref> This decision had serious results for Palestinians living in Kuwait.
Before the Iraqi invasion on 2 August 1990, about 400,000 Palestinians lived in Kuwait.<ref name=":0" /> The Iraqi occupation (August 1990 - February 1991) led to the collapse of this community. By December 1990, only about 150,000 Palestinians remained.<ref name=":8">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=47}}</ref>
During the occupation, the Palestinian community was divided. Some supported Iraq, while others joined the Kuwaiti [[Resistance movement|resistance]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Ibrahim|first=Youssef M.|date=March 14, 1991|title=AFTER THE WAR: Kuwait; Palestinians in Kuwait Face Suspicion and Probable Exile|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/03/14/world/after-the-war-kuwait-palestinians-in-kuwait-face-suspicion-and-probable-exile.html}}</ref> Some Palestinians were arrested by Iraqi forces, with up to 5,000 people detained. The existence of pro-Iraqi Palestinian groups also damaged the community’s image among Kuwaitis.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=45}}</ref> After Kuwait was liberated, Palestinians faced violence and punishment. Many Kuwaitis blamed them for the position of the PLO) and other Arab governments that had supported Iraq.<ref name=":8" /> Between 400 and 600 young Palestinian men disappeared and were killed, and a similar number were kidnapped by militias and security forces.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=47-48}}</ref>
The Palestinians that left Kuwait can be divided into three groups: Palestinians that left before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and could not come back, Palestinians that fled during the war with Iraq and Palestinians that were forced to leave after the war.<ref name=":9">{{Cite journal|last=Le Troquer|first=Yann|last2=Al-Oudat|first2=Rozenn Hommery|date=1999|title=The Palestinians' Third Exodus|url=https://doi.org/10.2307/2538306|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=28|issue=3|pages=39}}</ref> Most of the Palestinians in Kuwait went to Jordan in 1990 and 1991. About 300,000 Palestinians went to Jordan, and therefore Palestinians made up about 10% of Jordan’s population. Most of this group had Jordanian passports.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Le Troquer|first=Yann|last2=Al-Oudat|first2=Rozenn Hommery|date=1999|title=From Kuwait to Jordan: The Palestinians' Third Exodus|url=https://doi.org/10.2307/2538306|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=28|issue=3|pages=37}}</ref>
Jordan struggled with the sudden arrival of large groups of Palestinians from Kuwait. The sudden arrival of around 300,000 Palestinians led to a 30% rise in school enrollments.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=41}}</ref> Many Palestinians could not find a job in Jordan.<ref name=":0" /> But Jordan’s economy was surprisingly able to absorb the Palestinians from Kuwait.<ref name=":1" />
Many Palestinians tried to leave Kuwait but faced serious problems:
Financially, many did not receive the money they were owed after years of work.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=50-51}}</ref>
Legally, they had to go through difficult identification procedures and often could not get permission to leave.<ref name=":10">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=51}}</ref> Because of world politics, travel was also restricted: [[Saudi Arabia]] refused transit [[Visa|visas]] for travel by land, and Kuwaiti airlines were told not to sell tickets to Palestinians.<ref name=":11">{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=53}}</ref>
The group most at risk included 15,000-20,000 Palestinians with [[Egypt|Egyptian]] travel documents from Gaza or temporary Jordanian passports, as no country agreed to accept them.<ref name=":11" /> This group depended on the Jordanian government being willing to let them live in Jordan.<ref name=":9" />
=== '''Recent Developments''' ===
After 1991, relations between Kuwait and the Palestinians remained tense for several years. The Palestinian community in Kuwait became much smaller and weaker.<ref name=":10" />
Most Palestinians were not allowed to return to government jobs, and many of these jobs were given to workers from Egypt instead.<ref name=":10" /> This was part of a wider policy that excluded Palestinians from work in the government.
Over time, some restrictions were reduced, but the community never returned to its earlier size or influence.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lesch|first=Ann|date=1991|title=Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1525/jps.1991.20.4.00p0266s|journal=Journal of Palestine Studies|volume=20|pages=51-53}}</ref> Today, Palestinians in Kuwait are a smaller foreign group with fewer rights than before 1990.
Relations began to improve after the death of Arafat in 2004.<ref name=":7" /> In 2005, [[Mahmoud Abbas]], who became the leader of the PLO after Arafat's death, officially apologized to Kuwait. This helped restore diplomatic relations.<ref name=":12">{{Cite journal|last=Zelkovitz|first=Ido|date=2014|title=A Paradise Lost? the Rise and Fall of the Palestinian Community in Kuwait|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00263206.2013.849695|journal=Middle Eastern Studies|volume=50|pages=97}}</ref> In 2013, a Palestinian embassy opened again in Kuwait.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Al-Nakib|first=Mai|date=2014-02|title=‘The People are Missing’: Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://www.euppublishing.com/doi/10.3366/dls.2014.0132|journal=Deleuze Studies|language=en|volume=8|issue=1|pages=33|doi=10.3366/dls.2014.0132|issn=1750-2241}}</ref> Since then, changing regional politics have led to a more careful and practical relationship between Kuwait and the Palestinian leadership, although the effects of the 1990 crisis are still visible.<ref name=":12" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Al-Nakib|first=Mai|date=2014-02|title=‘The People are Missing’: Palestinians in Kuwait|url=https://www.euppublishing.com/doi/10.3366/dls.2014.0132|journal=Deleuze Studies|language=en|volume=8|issue=1|pages=35|doi=10.3366/dls.2014.0132|issn=1750-2241}}</ref>

The '''Ard-al-Moharbeen necropolis''' was a [[Roman Empire|Roman]] cemetery in Jabaliya in the [[Gaza Strip]], Palestine. The known area covers an estimated {{Convert|4000|m2}} and it is the largest cemetery to have been discovered in Gaza. It was close to [[Anthedon (Palestine)|Anthedon]], a Roman town, and was probably used from the 1st century AD to the 3rd century AD.
The cemetery was discovered in 2022. Archaeologists led by René Elter started digging the following year. They had discovered 135 graves by the time digging was stopped by the start of the [[Gaza war]]. The graves included two lead [[Ancient Roman sarcophagi|sarcophagi]] which were the first found in Gaza and likely belonged to rich people. The cemetery was one of hundreds of [[Archaeological sites destroyed during the Israel–Hamas war|important places damaged in the war]].
== Key dates ==
* 1st century: the cemetery was established
* 3rd century: the cemetery was abandoned
* 8th–9th centuries: some graves were looted
* 2022: the cemetery was rediscovered
* 2023: archaeologists began digging
* 2023–25: the site was damaged during the Gaza war

== Background ==
Palestine and [[Israel]] are located in [[Middle East|the Middle East]] next to the Mediterranean Sea. They have had conflicts for many years. There are two important groups who are mentioned a lot in the news: [[Hamas]] a Palestinian, militant, and political organisation and the Israeli government. On [[October 7 attacks|7 of October 2023]] Hamas attacked Israel. Afterwards, Israel started military actions in Gaza. After 7<sup>th</sup> of October in 2023 there was a global reaction. Since that moment, protests started against violence in the Gaza region and its people.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Chenoweth, E., Hammam, S., Pressman, J., & Ulfelder, J.|date=2026|title=Protests in the United States on Palestine and Israel|url=https://www.tandfonline.com/action/cookieAbsent|access-date=2026-05-24|website=www.tandfonline.com|doi=10.1080/14742837.2024.2415674}}</ref> One way of expressing support to the Palestinians, is to give them a voice. The protesters, protest against companies, universities and even countries that support the Israeli government. They are many ways to protest: a peaceful march, where they shout slogans, but also protests that involve clashes between the protesters and the police. <ref>{{Cite journal|last=Aswar|first=Hasbi|last2=Hudaifi|first2=Imam|last3=Heryana|first3=Ade Irman|last4=Hawari|first4=Imam Khairul Muslim|date=2025-04-13|title=From Protests to Petitions: The Global Response to the Gaza Crisis Since October 2023|url=https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.15206360|doi=10.5281/ZENODO.15206360|journal=Jisiera: The Journal of Islamic Studies and International Relations|pages=67/68}}</ref>

====Discussion====
*'''Delete''' Article created by a known hoaxer and restored likely by an IP sock, sources have been entirely synthesized and speak nothing of this non-existent dispute (especially nothing for Pakistan being the 'actual India' that is being hoaxed here, the specific hoax that the creator was banned for). [[User:Gotitbro|Gotitbro]] ([[User talk:Gotitbro|talk]]) 06:43, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
* '''Merge/Redirect''' Sources do support that Jinnah objected to the use of the name "India", but not enough to justify a standalone article? There seems to be fair amount of synthesis and nationalist interpretation as pointed above, and much of it would need to be purged. The verifiable material should be merged into [[Partition of India]], [[Names for India]], or [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]], with a redirect. <span style="font-family:serif;">[[User:Erakilos|Erakilos]]</span> 𐤀 09:36, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

The adult male frog is 18.0–24.1 mm long [[snout-vent length|from nose to rear end]] and the adult female frog is 22.3–25.7 mm long. The skin of the frog's back is dark brown in color. Some frogs have a yellow-brown line down the middle of the back. The front legs have dark brown marks. The belly is dark brown with cream-white marks. The iris of the eye is brown-gray or bronze in color with thin black lines.<ref name=Amph />
==Name==
Scientists named the frog after the [[indigenous people|people who have lived in Colorado for a long time]] near where the frog lives.<ref name=Amph />
==Home==
This frog lives in tropical forests. It can sometimes live in places with fewer trees, for example [[pasture|grassy places where animals eat grass]] that have trees around them. Scientists have seen it between {{convert|0| and |1051|m|abbr=on}} above sea level. Scientists have seen the frog in protected places.<ref name=Amph /><ref name=IUCN />
==Young==
These frogs have young in pools of water that does not move. They put the eggs in [[foam nest|nests made out of bubbles]].<ref name=IUCN />
==Danger==
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is [[endangered|in danger]] of dying out. People have cut down many trees to make farms and towns and places for cows to eat grass. In some places, [[Erosion|the ground falls away]]. [[Pollution|Bad chemicals]] in the water might also hurt this frog.<ref name=IUCN />

== Facts ==
Bell (the owner of a shop) had a small knife called a 'flick knife' in his shop window. There was a sign next to the knife which said 'Ejector knife - 4s' (4 [[shilling]]s). If Bell was making a legal offer to sell the knife, that would have been illegal because of the [[Restriction of Offensive Weapons Act 1959]].<ref name="UKGov1">{{cite web |title=Restriction of Offensive Weapons Act 1959 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Eliz2/7-8/37/section/1 |website=legislation.gov.uk |access-date=7 June 2026 |language=en |quote=Any person who... offers for sale... any knife which has a blade which opens automatically... shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale or to both such imprisonment and fine.}}</ref> In 1961, the government made changes to this law to make the [[Restriction of Offensive Weapons Act 1961]].<ref name="UKGov2">{{cite web |title=Restriction of Offensive Weapons Act 1961 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Eliz2/9-10/22 |website=legislation.gov.uk |access-date=7 June 2026 |language=en}}</ref>

'''Ernst Jandl''' ( ; 1 August 1925 – 9 June 2000) was an Austrian writer, poet, and translator. He became known for his experimental lyric, mainly sound poems (''Sprechgedichte'') in the tradition of concrete and visual poetic forms.
His work was influenced by [[Dadaism]]. He was the partner of [[Friederike Mayröcker]]. Like him, Mayröcker also was a poet. In his poems, he uses a lot of word play.
One of his poems "Ottos mops" (Ottos pug) uses only the sound o. It is difficult to translate.

One of his poems "Ottos mops" (Ottos pug) uses only the sound o. It is difficult to translate.

The Jin dynasty's history was divided into two parts: Eastern Jin and Western Jin. The Western Jin (265-317 AD). formed after Emperor Wu (Sima Yan) took the throne from Cao Huan, the Cao Wei dynasty's last emperor. The first capital of Western Jin was [[Luoyang]], then it became [[Chang'an]] (it's new name is Xi'an). In 280 [[AD]], the Western Jin conquered the Eastern Wu [[state]], finally ending the Three Kingdoms period, and reuniting China for the first time after the [[Han dynasty]].
From 291 to 306 AD, a series of civil wars called the War of the Eight Princes were fought between the princes of the Jin dynasty to control the empire. This made the empire very weak. In 304 AD, the non-Han people in China launched rebellions, and these non-Han people were called the Five Barbarians.
The [[Barbarian|barbarians]] created [[State|states]] in the north of China, which caused the Sixteen Kingdoms era to start in Chinese history. These states fought each other and the Jin dynasty. Han-Zhao, one of the states created, captured Luoyang in 311, and captured Chang'an 316, and killed Emperor Min of Jin, ending the Western Jin era. Sima Rui, who came after Emperor Min, then recreated the Jin dynasty with its capital in Jiankang (its new name is [[Nanjing]]), starting the '''Eastern Jin''' era (317–420 AD).

The Eastern Jin dynasty was in constant problems with the northern states for most of its existence, and it launched several invasions of the north to take back its lost territories. In 383 AD, the Eastern Jin defeated the Former Qin, a Di-ruled state that had shortly unified northern China. After that battle, the Former Qin state collapsed, and Jin armies recaptured the lands south of the Yellow River. The Eastern Jin was eventually [[Coup d'état|overthrown]] by General Liu Yu in 420 CE and replaced with the Liu Song dynasty. The Eastern Jin dynasty is considered the second of the Six Dynasties, which were six dynasties ruled by the Han people from the [[3rd century]] to the [[6th century]].

== History ==
[[File:魏·太傅 司馬懿.jpg|thumb|Sima Yi]]
During the Three Kingdoms period, the Sima family, along with it's most important individual Sima Yi became famous in the Cao Wei kingdom. The Cao Wei kingdom was located in northern China. Sima Yi was the regent of the Cao Wei dynasty, and in 249 AD, he tried to take the thrown in an incident known as Incident at the Gaoping Tombs. The Sima clan began to become more important and powerful than the ruling Cao Wei dynasty.
After Sima Yi died in 251, Sima Yi's oldest son Sima Shi succeeded his father as regent of Cao Wei, maintaining the Sima clan's important role on the Cao Wei political scene. After Sima Shi died in 255, Sima Shi's younger brother Sima Zhao became the regent of Cao Wei. Sima Zhao further assisted his clans' interests by ending rebellions and dissent.
In 263, he made the Cao Wei forces conquer Shu Han and capture Liu Shan (the son of [[Liu Bei]]), marking the first fall of one of the Three Kingdoms. Sima Zhao's actions awarded him the title of King of Jin, the last achievable rank under the emperor. He was granted the title because his ancestral home was located in Wen County, on the territory of the Zhou-era state of Jin, which was centered on the Jin River in Shaanxi. Sima Zhao really wanted to take the throne, but he died in 265 before he could take it, passing the opportunity to his ambitious son Sima Yan. <ref>{{Cite book|title=The origin and evolution of China's names|last=Hu|first=Axiang|date=2025|publisher=Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group|isbn=978-1-032-81581-7|series=China perspectives|location=London ; New York, NY}}</ref>
=== Western Jin (265–316) ===
==== Founding and unification ====
The Western Jin was found by Sima Yan, who became known as Emperor Wu of Jin (The Martial Emperor of Jin). After succeeding his father as the King of Jin and regent of Cao Wei in 265, Sima Yan declared himself emperor of the Jin dynasty on 4 February 266 and forced the final Cao Wei emperor Cao Huan to abdicate. Emperor Wu allowed Cao Huan to live the rest of his life with honour as the Prince of Chenliu, and he was later buried with imperial ceremony. In 280, Emperor Wu conquered the Eastern Wu and united China, ending the Three Kingdoms period. <ref>{{Cite journal|last=de Crespigny|first=Rafe|date=2004-09-28|title=The Three Kingdoms and Western Jin: A History of China in the Third Century AD - I|url=http://hdl.handle.net/1885/41896|language=en-AU}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Corradini|first=Piero|date=2006|title=The Barbarian States in North China|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/41928429|journal=Central Asiatic Journal|volume=50|issue=2|pages=163–232|issn=0008-9192}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=Routledge handbook of imperial Chinese history|date=2020|publisher=Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group|isbn=978-0-367-58051-3|editor-last=Xiong|editor-first=Victor Cunrui|edition=First issued in paperback|location=London New York|editor-last2=Hammond|editor-first2=Kenneth James}}</ref>
[[File:Harvard drs 49802792 繡像三國演義續編 v.1 (晉惠帝).jpg|thumb|Emperor Hui, or Sima Zhong]]
Following the unification, China entered a decade of peace and economic prosperity, with accounts detailing the expensive and bizarre lifestyles of the ruling class. Internally, Emperor Wu upheld [[Confucianism|Confucian]] inheritance by making that his eldest son, Sima Zhong, later known as Emperor Hui, would succeed him to the throne, despite his [[developmental disability]]. To protect his heir and dynasty, he made his princes and dukes powerful by appointing them to important military and administrative positions. Meanwhile, a few officials also began expressing concerns regarding the growing population and treatment of the various non-Han peoples ("Five Barbarians") that had been living in northern China for centuries. <ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.google.com.my/books/edition/Military_Culture_in_Imperial_China/6yAsEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22sima+zhong%22+%22eldest%22+%22confucian%22&pg=PA115&printsec=frontcover|title=Military Culture in Imperial China|last=Cosmo|first=Nicola Di|date=2011-03-04|publisher=Harvard University Press|isbn=978-0-674-26299-7|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=A prince of martial splendour in the sixteen kingdoms: Li Hao (351-417), ruler of western Liang|date=2025|publisher=Brill|isbn=978-90-04-71643-8|editor-last=Declercq|editor-first=Dominik|series=Sinica Leidensia|location=Leiden ; Boston}}</ref>
'''Decline'''
Emperor Wu died in 290, and Emperor Hui's ascension began the War of the Eight Princes. In 291, Emperor Hui's wife, Empress Jia, took power and began ruling the empire behind her husband's throne. Under her rule, the wealth of the ruling class went unchecked, and corruption was very widespread in the government. She and her family were overthrown in 300, but a series of civil wars soon broke out between the Sima princes for the regency and succession of Emperor Hui, devastating most of northern China and the imperial military. <ref>{{Cite book|title=Medieval Chinese warfare, 300-900|last=Graff|first=David Andrew|date=2002|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-0-415-23954-7|series=Warfare and history|location=London ; New York}}</ref>
[[File:Liu Cong (Emperor Zhaowu of Han-Zhao).png|thumb|Liu Cong in a painting from the Tang dynasty]]
The short unification of China came to an end in 304; that year, the Cheng-Han and Han-Zhao states declared their independence from Jin. The Upheaval of the Five Barbarians carried on the chaos from the War of the Eight Princes, as [[Rebellion|uprisings]] and famines continued to weaken Jin [[authority]] in the north. In 311, the Jin capital Luoyang was attacked by Han-Zhao forces under Liu Cong, and Sima Chi, known as Emperor Huai, was captured and later killed. Emperor Huai's successor Sima Ye, known as Emperor Min, was then also captured and killed by Han-Zhao when they captured Chang'an (present-day Xi'an) in 316, marking the end of the Western Jin era. The surviving members of the Jin imperial family, as well as large numbers of Han Chinese from the North China Plain, fled to southern China. These refugees had a large impact on the lands they moved to—for example, they gave Quanzhou's Jin River its name upon their settlement there. <ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.ae/books?id=GCCeDwAAQBAJ&dq=jinjiang+got+its+name+from+jin+dynasty&pg=PT188&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=jinjiang%20got%20its%20name%20from%20jin%20dynasty&f=false|title=The Chinese Mosaic: The Peoples And Provinces Of China|last=Moser|first=Leo J.|date=2019-06-18|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-000-31542-4|language=en}}</ref>
=== Eastern Jin (317-420 AD) ===
[[File:Sima Rui (Jin Yuandi).jpg|thumb|Emperor Yuan (Sima Rui)]]
After the fall of Chang'an and the killing of Emperor Min of Jin, Sima Rui, later known as Emperor Yuan, became Jin emperor in 318. He recreated the Jin government at Jiankang (its new name Nanjing), which became the dynasty's new capital and marked the beginning of the Eastern Jin period. Since one of Sima Rui's titles was the prince of Langya, the newly created northern states, denied the [[legitimacy]] of his succession, sometimes referred to his empire as "Langya".
The Eastern Jin period saw the peak of ''menfa'' (門閥 'gentry clan') politics. The authority of the emperors was weakend, while empire's affairs were controlled by powerful immigrant elite families like the Wang (王) clans of Langya and Taiyuan, the Xie (謝) clan of Chenliu, the Huan (桓) clan of Qiao Commandery, and the Yu (庾) clan of Yingchuan. Among the people, a common remark was that "Wang Dao and Sima Rui, they dominate the nation together" (王與馬,共天下). It was said that when Emperor Yuan was holding court, he even invited Wang Dao to sit by his side so they could jointly accept congratulations from ministers, but Wang Dao declined the offer. <ref>{{Cite web|title=司马睿 - 政治家 - 江苏省地方志|url=http://www.jssdfz.gov.cn/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=133&id=4623|access-date=2026-06-07|website=www.jssdfz.gov.cn}}</ref>

The Jin dynasty's history was divided into two parts: Eastern Jin and Western Jin. The Western Jin (265-317 AD). formed after Emperor Wu (Sima Yan) took the throne from Cao Huan, the Cao Wei dynasty's last emperor. The first capital of Western Jin was [[Luoyang]], then it became [[Chang'an]] (it's new name is Xi'an). In 280 [[AD]], the Western Jin conquered the Eastern Wu [[state]], finally ending the Three Kingdoms period, and reuniting China for the first time after the [[Han dynasty]].
From 291 to 306 AD, a series of civil wars called the War of the Eight Princes were fought between the princes of the Jin dynasty to control the empire. This made the empire very weak. In 304 AD, the non-Han people in China launched rebellions, and these non-Han people were called the Five Barbarians.
The [[Barbarian|barbarians]] created [[State|states]] in the north of China, which caused the Sixteen Kingdoms era to start in Chinese history. These states fought each other and the Jin dynasty. Han-Zhao, one of the states created, captured Luoyang in 311, and captured Chang'an 316, and killed Emperor Min of Jin, ending the Western Jin era. Sima Rui, who came after Emperor Min, then recreated the Jin dynasty with its capital in Jiankang (its new name is [[Nanjing]]), starting the '''Eastern Jin''' era (317–420 AD).
The Eastern Jin dynasty was in constant problems with the northern states for most of its existence, and it launched several invasions of the north to take back its lost territories. In 383 AD, the Eastern Jin defeated the Former Qin, a Di-ruled state that had shortly unified northern China. After that battle, the Former Qin state collapsed, and Jin armies recaptured the lands south of the Yellow River. The Eastern Jin was eventually [[Coup d'état|overthrown]] by General Liu Yu in 420 CE and replaced with the Liu Song dynasty. The Eastern Jin dynasty is considered the second of the Six Dynasties, which were six dynasties ruled by the Han people from the [[3rd century]] to the [[6th century]].

[[File:魏·太傅 司馬懿.jpg|thumb|Sima Yi]]
During the Three Kingdoms period, the Sima family, along with it's most important individual Sima Yi became famous in the Cao Wei kingdom. The Cao Wei kingdom was located in northern China. Sima Yi was the regent of the Cao Wei dynasty, and in 249 AD, he tried to take the thrown in an incident known as Incident at the Gaoping Tombs. The Sima clan began to become more important and powerful than the ruling Cao Wei dynasty.
After Sima Yi died in 251, Sima Yi's oldest son Sima Shi succeeded his father as regent of Cao Wei, maintaining the Sima clan's important role on the Cao Wei political scene. After Sima Shi died in 255, Sima Shi's younger brother Sima Zhao became the regent of Cao Wei. Sima Zhao further assisted his clans' interests by ending rebellions and dissent.
In 263, he made the Cao Wei forces conquer Shu Han and capture Liu Shan (the son of [[Liu Bei]]), marking the first fall of one of the Three Kingdoms. Sima Zhao's actions awarded him the title of King of Jin, the last achievable rank under the emperor. He was granted the title because his ancestral home was located in Wen County, on the territory of the Zhou-era state of Jin, which was centered on the Jin River in Shaanxi. Sima Zhao really wanted to take the throne, but he died in 265 before he could take it, passing the opportunity to his ambitious son Sima Yan. <ref>{{Cite book|title=The origin and evolution of China's names|last=Hu|first=Axiang|date=2025|publisher=Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group|isbn=978-1-032-81581-7|series=China perspectives|location=London ; New York, NY}}</ref>
=== Western Jin (265–316) ===
==== Founding and unification ====
The Western Jin was found by Sima Yan, who became known as Emperor Wu of Jin (The Martial Emperor of Jin). After succeeding his father as the King of Jin and regent of Cao Wei in 265, Sima Yan declared himself emperor of the Jin dynasty on 4 February 266 and forced the final Cao Wei emperor Cao Huan to abdicate. Emperor Wu allowed Cao Huan to live the rest of his life with honour as the Prince of Chenliu, and he was later buried with imperial ceremony. In 280, Emperor Wu conquered the Eastern Wu and united China, ending the Three Kingdoms period. <ref>{{Cite journal|last=de Crespigny|first=Rafe|date=2004-09-28|title=The Three Kingdoms and Western Jin: A History of China in the Third Century AD - I|url=http://hdl.handle.net/1885/41896|language=en-AU}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Corradini|first=Piero|date=2006|title=The Barbarian States in North China|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/41928429|journal=Central Asiatic Journal|volume=50|issue=2|pages=163–232|issn=0008-9192}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=Routledge handbook of imperial Chinese history|date=2020|publisher=Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group|isbn=978-0-367-58051-3|editor-last=Xiong|editor-first=Victor Cunrui|edition=First issued in paperback|location=London New York|editor-last2=Hammond|editor-first2=Kenneth James}}</ref>

Following the unification, China entered a decade of peace and economic prosperity, with accounts detailing the expensive and bizarre lifestyles of the ruling class. Internally, Emperor Wu upheld [[Confucianism|Confucian]] inheritance by making that his eldest son, Sima Zhong, later known as Emperor Hui, would succeed him to the throne, despite his [[developmental disability]]. To protect his heir and dynasty, he made his princes and dukes powerful by appointing them to important military and administrative positions. Meanwhile, a few officials also began expressing concerns regarding the growing population and treatment of the various non-Han peoples ("Five Barbarians") that had been living in northern China for centuries. <ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.google.com.my/books/edition/Military_Culture_in_Imperial_China/6yAsEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22sima+zhong%22+%22eldest%22+%22confucian%22&pg=PA115&printsec=frontcover|title=Military Culture in Imperial China|last=Cosmo|first=Nicola Di|date=2011-03-04|publisher=Harvard University Press|isbn=978-0-674-26299-7|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=A prince of martial splendour in the sixteen kingdoms: Li Hao (351-417), ruler of western Liang|date=2025|publisher=Brill|isbn=978-90-04-71643-8|editor-last=Declercq|editor-first=Dominik|series=Sinica Leidensia|location=Leiden ; Boston}}</ref>
'''Decline'''
Emperor Wu died in 290, and Emperor Hui's ascension began the War of the Eight Princes. In 291, Emperor Hui's wife, Empress Jia, took power and began ruling the empire behind her husband's throne. Under her rule, the wealth of the ruling class went unchecked, and corruption was very widespread in the government. She and her family were overthrown in 300, but a series of civil wars soon broke out between the Sima princes for the regency and succession of Emperor Hui, devastating most of northern China and the imperial military. <ref>{{Cite book|title=Medieval Chinese warfare, 300-900|last=Graff|first=David Andrew|date=2002|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-0-415-23954-7|series=Warfare and history|location=London ; New York}}</ref>
[[File:Liu Cong (Emperor Zhaowu of Han-Zhao).png|thumb|Liu Cong in a painting from the Tang dynasty]]
The short unification of China came to an end in 304; that year, the Cheng-Han and Han-Zhao states declared their independence from Jin. The Upheaval of the Five Barbarians carried on the chaos from the War of the Eight Princes, as [[Rebellion|uprisings]] and famines continued to weaken Jin [[authority]] in the north. In 311, the Jin capital Luoyang was attacked by Han-Zhao forces under Liu Cong, and Sima Chi, known as Emperor Huai, was captured and later killed. Emperor Huai's successor Sima Ye, known as Emperor Min, was then also captured and killed by Han-Zhao when they captured Chang'an (present-day Xi'an) in 316, marking the end of the Western Jin era. The surviving members of the Jin imperial family, as well as large numbers of Han Chinese from the North China Plain, fled to southern China. These refugees had a large impact on the lands they moved to—for example, they gave Quanzhou's Jin River its name upon their settlement there. <ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.ae/books?id=GCCeDwAAQBAJ&dq=jinjiang+got+its+name+from+jin+dynasty&pg=PT188&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=jinjiang%20got%20its%20name%20from%20jin%20dynasty&f=false|title=The Chinese Mosaic: The Peoples And Provinces Of China|last=Moser|first=Leo J.|date=2019-06-18|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-000-31542-4|language=en}}</ref>
=== Eastern Jin (317-420 AD) ===
[[File:Sima Rui (Jin Yuandi).jpg|thumb|Emperor Yuan (Sima Rui)]]
After the fall of Chang'an and the killing of Emperor Min of Jin, Sima Rui, later known as Emperor Yuan, became Jin emperor in 318. He recreated the Jin government at Jiankang (its new name Nanjing), which became the dynasty's new capital and marked the beginning of the Eastern Jin period. Since one of Sima Rui's titles was the prince of Langya, the newly created northern states, denied the [[legitimacy]] of his succession, sometimes referred to his empire as "Langya".
The Eastern Jin period saw the peak of ''menfa'' (門閥 'gentry clan') politics. The authority of the emperors was weakend, while empire's affairs were controlled by powerful immigrant elite families like the Wang (王) clans of Langya and Taiyuan, the Xie (謝) clan of Chenliu, the Huan (桓) clan of Qiao Commandery, and the Yu (庾) clan of Yingchuan. Among the people, a common remark was that "Wang Dao and Sima Rui, they dominate the nation together" (王與馬,共天下). It was said that when Emperor Yuan was holding court, he even invited Wang Dao to sit by his side so they could jointly accept congratulations from ministers, but Wang Dao declined the offer. <ref>{{Cite web|title=司马睿 - 政治家 - 江苏省地方志|url=http://www.jssdfz.gov.cn/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=133&id=4623|access-date=2026-06-07|website=www.jssdfz.gov.cn}}</ref>

He was granted the title because his home was located in Wen County, on the territory of the [[Zhou dynasty|Zhou]]-era state of Jin, which was centered on the Jin River in Shaanxi. Sima Zhao really wanted to take the throne, but he died in 265 before he could take it, passing the opportunity to his ambitious son Sima Yan. <ref>{{Cite book|title=The origin and evolution of China's names|last=Hu|first=Axiang|date=2025|publisher=Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group|isbn=978-1-032-81581-7|series=China perspectives|location=London ; New York, NY}}</ref>
=== Western Jin (265–316) ===
==== Founding and unification ====
The Western Jin was found by Sima Yan, who became known as Emperor Wu of Jin (The Martial Emperor of Jin). After succeeding his father as the King of Jin and regent of Cao Wei in 265, Sima Yan declared himself emperor of the Jin dynasty on 4 February 266 and forced the final Cao Wei emperor Cao Huan to abdicate. Emperor Wu allowed Cao Huan to live the rest of his life with honour as the Prince of Chenliu, and he was later buried with imperial ceremony. In 280, Emperor Wu conquered the Eastern Wu and united China, ending the Three Kingdoms period. <ref>{{Cite journal|last=de Crespigny|first=Rafe|date=2004-09-28|title=The Three Kingdoms and Western Jin: A History of China in the Third Century AD - I|url=http://hdl.handle.net/1885/41896|language=en-AU}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Corradini|first=Piero|date=2006|title=The Barbarian States in North China|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/41928429|journal=Central Asiatic Journal|volume=50|issue=2|pages=163–232|issn=0008-9192}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=Routledge handbook of imperial Chinese history|date=2020|publisher=Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group|isbn=978-0-367-58051-3|editor-last=Xiong|editor-first=Victor Cunrui|edition=First issued in paperback|location=London New York|editor-last2=Hammond|editor-first2=Kenneth James}}</ref>
[[File:Harvard drs 49802792 繡像三國演義續編 v.1 (晉惠帝).jpg|thumb|Emperor Hui, or Sima Zhong]]
Following the unification, China entered a decade of peace and economic prosperity, with accounts detailing the expensive and bizarre lifestyles of the ruling class. Internally, Emperor Wu upheld [[Confucianism|Confucian]] inheritance by making that his eldest son, Sima Zhong, later known as Emperor Hui, would succeed him to the throne, despite his [[developmental disability]]. To protect his heir and dynasty, he made his princes and dukes powerful by appointing them to important military and administrative positions. Meanwhile, a few officials also began expressing concerns regarding the growing population and treatment of the various non-Han peoples ("Five Barbarians") that had been living in northern China for centuries. <ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.google.com.my/books/edition/Military_Culture_in_Imperial_China/6yAsEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22sima+zhong%22+%22eldest%22+%22confucian%22&pg=PA115&printsec=frontcover|title=Military Culture in Imperial China|last=Cosmo|first=Nicola Di|date=2011-03-04|publisher=Harvard University Press|isbn=978-0-674-26299-7|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=A prince of martial splendour in the sixteen kingdoms: Li Hao (351-417), ruler of western Liang|date=2025|publisher=Brill|isbn=978-90-04-71643-8|editor-last=Declercq|editor-first=Dominik|series=Sinica Leidensia|location=Leiden ; Boston}}</ref>
'''Decline'''
Emperor Wu died in 290, and Emperor Hui's ascension began the War of the Eight Princes. In 291, Emperor Hui's wife, Empress Jia, took power and began ruling the empire behind her husband's throne. Under her rule, the wealth of the ruling class went unchecked, and corruption was very widespread in the government. She and her family were overthrown in 300, but a series of civil wars soon broke out between the Sima princes for the regency and succession of Emperor Hui, devastating most of northern China and the imperial military. <ref>{{Cite book|title=Medieval Chinese warfare, 300-900|last=Graff|first=David Andrew|date=2002|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-0-415-23954-7|series=Warfare and history|location=London ; New York}}</ref>
[[File:Liu Cong (Emperor Zhaowu of Han-Zhao).png|thumb|Liu Cong in a painting from the Tang dynasty]]
The short unification of China came to an end in 304; that year, the Cheng-Han and Han-Zhao states declared their independence from Jin. The Upheaval of the Five Barbarians carried on the chaos from the War of the Eight Princes, as [[Rebellion|uprisings]] and famines continued to weaken Jin [[authority]] in the north. In 311, the Jin capital Luoyang was attacked by Han-Zhao forces under Liu Cong, and Sima Chi, known as Emperor Huai, was captured and later killed. Emperor Huai's successor Sima Ye, known as Emperor Min, was then also captured and killed by Han-Zhao when they captured Chang'an (present-day Xi'an) in 316, marking the end of the Western Jin era. The surviving members of the Jin imperial family, as well as large numbers of Han Chinese from the North China Plain, fled to southern China. These refugees had a large impact on the lands they moved to—for example, they gave Quanzhou's Jin River its name upon their settlement there. <ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.ae/books?id=GCCeDwAAQBAJ&dq=jinjiang+got+its+name+from+jin+dynasty&pg=PT188&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=jinjiang%20got%20its%20name%20from%20jin%20dynasty&f=false|title=The Chinese Mosaic: The Peoples And Provinces Of China|last=Moser|first=Leo J.|date=2019-06-18|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-000-31542-4|language=en}}</ref>
=== Eastern Jin (317-420 AD) ===
[[File:Sima Rui (Jin Yuandi).jpg|thumb|Emperor Yuan (Sima Rui)]]
After the fall of Chang'an and the killing of Emperor Min of Jin, Sima Rui, later known as Emperor Yuan, became Jin emperor in 318. He recreated the Jin government at Jiankang (its new name Nanjing), which became the dynasty's new capital and marked the beginning of the Eastern Jin period. Since one of Sima Rui's titles was the prince of Langya, the newly created northern states, denied the [[legitimacy]] of his succession, sometimes referred to his empire as "Langya".
The Eastern Jin period saw the peak of ''menfa'' (門閥 'gentry clan') politics. The authority of the emperors was weakend, while empire's affairs were controlled by powerful immigrant elite families like the Wang (王) clans of Langya and Taiyuan, the Xie (謝) clan of Chenliu, the Huan (桓) clan of Qiao Commandery, and the Yu (庾) clan of Yingchuan. Among the people, a common remark was that "Wang Dao and Sima Rui, they dominate the nation together" (王與馬,共天下). It was said that when Emperor Yuan was holding court, he even invited Wang Dao to sit by his side so they could jointly accept congratulations from ministers, but Wang Dao declined the offer. <ref>{{Cite web|title=司马睿 - 政治家 - 江苏省地方志|url=http://www.jssdfz.gov.cn/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=133&id=4623|access-date=2026-06-07|website=www.jssdfz.gov.cn}}</ref>

'''Battlements''' line the top of the [[walls]] of [[castle]]s or [[fort]]s. The walls switch between being low and being high, creating spaces.
[[Archers]] can stand in a space and fire an [[arrow]] at a castle invader, then run behind a higher section of the battlement to protect themselves from an incoming arrow.
Battlements are also known as crenellations. The higher sections of battlements that offer full protection are [[parapet]]s. The lower sections that allow [[visibility]] are called crenels.

'''Marcan Priority''' (or ''Markan Priority'') is the idea that the [[Gospel of Mark]] was the first of the [[Synoptic Gospels]] to be written and that it was used as a source for the others ([[Gospel of Matthew]] and [[Gospel of Luke]]). It is part of the [[Two-source hypothesis|Two-Source Hypothesis]].
Most scholars since the late-19th century have accepted Marcan Priority,{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}} but some scholars support different forms of it or reject it entirely.{{Citation needed|date=June 2026}}

== Theology of the Gospel of John ==
There are many problems with this article.
There are virtually no citations for the theological interpretation that this article does (in fact, this entire article has three citations, not including the citation to John 20:31 that I added. I also realize that this is a problem for the vast majority of articles on Simple English Wikipedia).
This article also seems to ''imply'' that Jesus is God in some sense (even outright stating that John equates Jesus to God in John 1:1, which is debatable since the construction there implies a qualitative relation between "Theos" and "Logos." Moreover, John 1:1 says that the Word was with "ho Theos" but that the Logos is qualitatively "Theos" instead of "ho Theos", which could be a distinction between ''the God of Israel'' and ''divinity'' by presence of the article. Furthermore, the Gospel of John itself denies that "God" is exhausted by the God of Israel in John 10:34, which means that "ho Theos" and "Theos" which the Logos is equated to don't necessarily have the same referents), but it never exactly elaborates on what that means. It mentions the seven "I Am" discourses and how that relates to God's name in the Hebrew Bible (except in a misleading way. The name of God in the Old Testament is "YHWH", reconstructed as "Yahweh", which the Book of Exodus seems to connect to the Hebrew "Hayah", but "I am that I am" is not the name that God gives), but it fails to elaborate on the scholarly debate or consensus on the relation between God and the Logos, between the Father and the Son, in John's high Christology.
The article says that scholars believe that John the Evangelist wrote the Gospel of John, but that is false. All four gospels are commonly viewed to be anonymous works, while John ''might be'' based on a source that is attributable to John (or, at-least, a source that was thought to be from "the disciple whom Jesus loved").

'''Breach of contract''' is related to [[contract law]]. It is a [[civil law|civil]] wrong (if someone breaches a contract, the other person in the contract can use the law to fix some problems that the breach caused). A breach of contract happens when someone does not do something that they agreed to do as part of a contract.<ref name="LexNex1">{{cite web |title=Breach of contract definition |url=https://www.lexisnexis.co.uk/legal/glossary/breach-of-contract |publisher=LexisNexis Employment expert |access-date=7 June 2026 |language=en |quote=When a party to a formal agreement (contract) breaks a condition (term) of that contract.}}</ref> A breach of contract also happens if someone does not do {{em|everything}} that they said they would do for a contract, or if they only do some of it.<ref name="LawTeacherBreach">{{cite web |title=An Introduction to the Breach of Contract |url=https://www.lawteacher.net/free-law-essays/contract-law/an-introduction-to-the-breach-of-contract-contract-law-essay.php |publisher=LawTeacher |access-date=7 June 2026 |language=en |date=2 February 2018}}</ref>
A person who is legally bound by a contract (someone who has to follow the rules of a legal contract) is called a 'party' to the contract. The 'terms' of the contract are the things that the parties agreed to do.
== Remedies ==
There are three legal remedies that are used to help one party if another party breached their contract. These three remedies are [[damages]], [[specific performance]] and [[injunction]].<ref name="LawTeacherBreach" />
=== Damages ===
Damages are normally in the form of money. The person who breached the contract pays damages to another party that they harmed.<ref name="LexNexDamages">{{cite web |title=Damages definition |url=https://www.lexisnexis.co.uk/legal/glossary/damages |publisher=LexisNexis Dispute Resolution expert |access-date=7 June 2026 |language=en |quote=The monetary compensation awarded by law to a person for the legal wrong done to him}}</ref>
=== Specific performance ===
Specific performance is when the court forces a party to do what they agreed to do in the contract. Judges use this remedy when damages would not be enough to help the person who was harmed.<ref name="LawProfSpecPerf">{{cite web |last1=Chen |first1=Will |title=Specific Performance |url=https://lawprof.co/definition/specific-performance/ |publisher=LawProf |access-date=7 June 2026 |language=en |quote=Specific performance is an equitable remedy that compels a party to fulfil their contractual obligation as originally agreed, rather than simply paying monetary damages for breach.}}</ref>
=== Injunction ===
An injunction is an order to stop doing something ([[prohibitory injunction]]). An injunction can also stop people from doing things in the future. An injunction is only used if damages would not be enough to help the person who was harmed.<ref name="LawProfInjunction">{{cite web |last1=Chen |first1=Will |title=Injunction (Tort) |url=https://lawprof.co/definition/injunction-tort/ |publisher=LawProf |access-date=7 June 2026 |language=en |quote=An injunction in tort law is an equitable remedy granted by the court that orders a defendant either to cease committing a wrongful act (prohibitory injunction) or to take specific action to remedy a tortious situation (mandatory injunction).}}</ref>

A breach of contract happens when someone does not do something that they agreed to do as part of a contract.<ref name="LexNex1">{{cite web |title=Breach of contract definition |url=https://www.lexisnexis.co.uk/legal/glossary/breach-of-contract |publisher=LexisNexis Employment expert |access-date=7 June 2026 |language=en |quote=When a party to a formal agreement (contract) breaks a condition (term) of that contract.}}</ref> A breach of contract also happens if someone does not do {{em|everything}} that they said they would do for a contract, or if they only do some of it.<ref name="LawTeacherBreach">{{cite web |title=An Introduction to the Breach of Contract |url=https://www.lawteacher.net/free-law-essays/contract-law/an-introduction-to-the-breach-of-contract-contract-law-essay.php |publisher=LawTeacher |access-date=7 June 2026 |language=en |date=2 February 2018}}</ref>
A person who is legally bound by a contract (someone who has to follow the rules of a legal contract) is called a 'party' to the contract. The 'terms' of the contract are the things that the parties agreed to do.
== Remedies ==
There are three legal remedies that are used to help one party if another party breached their contract. These three remedies are [[damages]], [[specific performance]] and [[injunction]].<ref name="LawTeacherBreach" />
=== Damages ===
Damages are normally in the form of money. The person who breached the contract pays damages to another party that they harmed.<ref name="LexNexDamages">{{cite web |title=Damages definition |url=https://www.lexisnexis.co.uk/legal/glossary/damages |publisher=LexisNexis Dispute Resolution expert |access-date=7 June 2026 |language=en |quote=The monetary compensation awarded by law to a person for the legal wrong done to him}}</ref>
=== Specific performance ===
Specific performance is when the court forces a party to do what they agreed to do in the contract. Judges use this remedy when damages would not be enough to help the person who was harmed.<ref name="LawProfSpecPerf">{{cite web |last1=Chen |first1=Will |title=Specific Performance |url=https://lawprof.co/definition/specific-performance/ |publisher=LawProf |access-date=7 June 2026 |language=en |quote=Specific performance is an equitable remedy that compels a party to fulfil their contractual obligation as originally agreed, rather than simply paying monetary damages for breach.}}</ref>
=== Injunction ===
An injunction is an order to stop doing something ([[prohibitory injunction]]). An injunction can also stop people from doing things in the future. An injunction is only used if damages would not be enough to help the person who was harmed.<ref name="LawProfInjunction">{{cite web |last1=Chen |first1=Will |title=Injunction (Tort) |url=https://lawprof.co/definition/injunction-tort/ |publisher=LawProf |access-date=7 June 2026 |language=en |quote=An injunction in tort law is an equitable remedy granted by the court that orders a defendant either to cease committing a wrongful act (prohibitory injunction) or to take specific action to remedy a tortious situation (mandatory injunction).}}</ref>
