The April 9, 2009, incident off Somalia was a military operation conducted by France and Germany to retake the Tanit, a yacht which had been captured by Somali pirates on April 4, 2009. It occurred during Operation Atalanta, a European Union mission in Somali waters. The pirates had attempted to extract a ransom by holding the yacht's occupants hostage, but were utimately defeated when the French Navy assaulted them. ==Background== The Tanit, a privately owned French yacht named after the Phoenician lunar goddess, with its 5 crew and passengers was sailing to Zanzibar when it was boarded by pirates on April 4. Among the hostages were a family of three including a 3 year old boy, and two friends of the family who joined them in Aden. The ship's owners, the Lemaçons, started from Vannes in July 2008 and sailed south to the coast of Spain. This was a family trip “to escape consumer society”. They planned to visit Kenya and Zanzibar. Even after meeting with a couple whose yacht, the Carré d'As IV, had been captured by pirates, and later rescued by French commandos, they continued on their journey. The pirates headed the vessel for the coast but were overrun two days later by a French frigate. French forces attempted to negotiate with the pirates offering them money and offering to exchange the mother and child for a French soldier. The pirates declined this. Instead, they were overheard discussing using explosives to blow up the yacht. {| |} ==Action== 50 commandos were sent from France to a French base at Djibouti on April 9, in readiness for the assault. Joined locally by 20 more commandos, they parachuted from a C-130 Hercules plane into the sea, to be picked up by three French warships that had been tracking the pirates, together with a German frigate equipped with hospital facilities. The French attempted to negotiate with the pirates, and even offered to exchange one of the hostages for an officer. The pirates refused to cooperate, stating that they could get better terms once they reached the coast. Seeing the pirates were uncooperative a sniper on-board one of the vessels managed to shoot down the sails and to damage the mast and the yacht. This the French believed would put them in a better negotiating position, but it created havoc on board, causing the pirates to refuse to accede to any of the French demands. Allegedly, after threats to execute the hostages were heard, the French Navy decided the next day to board the boat and free the hostages. French commandos attacked the hijacked vessel from different directions in two speedboats. The pirates opened fire and the special forces team fired back. French naval commandos then boarded the vessel and rescued the hostages. However, Florent Lemaçon, the boat's captain and father of the 3-year old boy, was being held hostage in his cabin. When French commandos entered, they engaged in a shootout with the pirates, during which Lemaçon was killed, possibly shot by the commandos in error. ==Aftermath== After the fighting ended the four freed hostages were taken in one of the frigates, to Djibouti, and from there transported back to France. Three pirates were taken to Rennes for questioning. In total, 70 men of the French naval forces, including men of the French commando Hubert, French frigates Aconit, Floréal and Commandant Ducuing and German frigate Mecklenburg-Vorpommern participated in the operation. ==External links== Florent Lemaçon's blog regarding the voyage (in French) ==References== April 9, 2009 incident off Somalia Romeo Military operations involving Germany Somalia April 9, 2009 incident off Somalia Naval battles and engagements of Operation Atalanta 2009 in Somalia Military history of France Piracy in Somalia April ソマリア沖2009年4月10日の事件

I'm curious. Is this information we really don't have somewhere else already? There aren't really any meaningful links to here. Have not found information on Surds anywhere else. There's more information to be added which I do not know well enough. See the British GCSE webpages about surds (google for it), there's lots of info on how to manipulate them, etc. I don't remember much from my Maths classes about the "proper" methods to work with them, though I can calculate and work with them well myself. (at a pinch I can perhaps add made-up methods and contrived situations to work out expressions with surds). Is "Surds" a term used outside Britain and Ireland? Should this page be "surds and indices", indices IS written about elsewhere. Zoney This article is a mess as it now stands. Some of the sentences are clumsily written and vague. The word surd appears largely or entirely obsolete. Michael Hardy I agree with Michael, but the question becomes: do we cover this information adequately elsewhere? If not, where do we put it? We do basically cover it on exponentiation, but I it might make sense to have a page just on the rules. (Don't we do that for some other topics? I have a vague memory of it, but I can't find any examples.) I think this page should be made simply into 'Surds', explaining the term and showing how to work with them. (this is reasonably started already) This ISN'T exactly covered in exponentiation, plus there is further information which can be added to Surds. Meaningful links can be added from exponentiation, square root, cube root, etc. Zoney the surds are nine"th sq root — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.193.142.19 (talk)

Utsav (Hindi: उत्सव; English: The Festival) is a 1984 Hindi film, produced by Shashi Kapoor and directed by Girish Karnad. The film stars Shashi Kapoor, Rekha, Amjad Khan, Anuradha Patel, Shekhar Suman, Anupam Kher, Shankar Nag, Neena Gupta, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Annu Kapoor, Sanjana Kapoor and Kunal Kapoor. The role played by Shashi Kapoor, who is also the producer of this movie, was originally to be played by Amitabh Bachchan. However, Bachchan later declined and therefore the producer himself decided to step up to fill in. The film's music is by Laxmikant Pyarelal and is still noted for its songs like, 'Man Kyun Behka', a rare duet by Asha Bhosle and Lata Mangeshkar, and Anuradha Paudwal's 'Mere Man Baje Mridang' for which she won the Filmfare Best Female Playback Award in 1985. Suresh Wadkar also has a song, 'Saanj Dhale Gagan Tale'. ==Overview== The film is based on the adaptation on two classical Sanskrit plays, Charudatta by Bhāsa, which was later adapted by Śhudraka in 6 Century A.D. as Mrichakatika about the life of courtesan, Vasantasena (Rekha), and her chance meeting with a poor boy, Charudatta (Shekhar Suman) in Ujjain. ==Cast== Shashi Kapoor....Samsthaanak Rekha....Vasantsena Amjad Khan....Vaatsyaayan and Sutradhar Shankar Nag .... Sajjal, the thief Kulbhushan Kharbanda .... Guru of Aryak, a revolutionary Shekhar Suman....Chaarudutt Neena Gupta .... Mandolika, courtesan slave in Vasantsena's house Anuradha Patel ....

MuZemike Delete Non-notable collection of songs, these iTunes box sets (if they can really be called "box" sets) are not notable. A mention in their discography article is enough. TJ Spyke Delete, for now. The NME & Spin ref's only provide the release dates and a quick run-down on what is in it (it looks like a slight rewording of the same press release too). Not exactly significant coverage in my view. And why would they, the albums and songs have already been covered in detail in their own specific articles. The mention in the Depeche Mode discography is more than enough, unless it goes on to break some sort of sales records, or one of the previously unreleased songs hits the charts or something.  Esradekan Gibb  "Talk" Delete per Esradekan's cogent arguments.

John Brindley Coffey ( born May 8, 1921) is a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the USAAF who flew with the Hell's Angels in the 303d Bombardment Group in World War II and was Deputy Chairman and then Chairman of the USAAF Nato Planning Liaison Group during the Cold War. ==Early life== He was born in Rossville, Georgia, United States, to Robert L. Coffey, a brick manufacturer and Curie Ethel Brindley, a milliner. He is the 2nd of three sons, between Robert L. Coffey, Jr. born 1921, and William B. Coffey born 1923. Both his brothers became pilots in the USAAF, and both prematurely died in plane crashes. After the failure of his business during the Great Depression, Robert Coffey, Sr. moved the family first to Philadelphia and finally to Johnstown, Pennsylvania where he found work as supervisor in a coal mine. John Coffey followed his father into the mine and became a member of the UMWA. == Military career == He joined the USAAF in 1939, in Santa Ana,California, training as a glider pilot in Pittsburg, Kansas. In 1943 the glider pilot program was winding down; he became a cadet/navigator and received training in Albuquerque, Santa Ana, and Sacramento before shipping out. Stationed in Molesworth, England, one of the first Eighth Air Force stations attached to the USAAF, he was assigned to the 303d Bombardment Group, 427th Bombardment Squadron. In two B-17 Flying Fortress tours, he was credited with 35 bombing missions over Nazi Germany. Midway through the missions, after developing and conducting a navigational training curriculum for pilots, he was promoted to lead navigator. In 1948 he left active service, and returned to the United States, and while still in the Military Reserves, enrolled in the University of Miami on the GI Bill. There he met Valerie Kendall, and they were married in 1949. They honeymooned in Havana, Cuba, and had three sons: Christopher, Kendall, and Kevin. == Cold War == In 1950 at the beginning of the Korean War, he was recalled to active duty and began training in the new technologies that the SAC in the early years of the Cold War was developing under the leadership of then-Lieutenant General Curtis LeMay. The stated mission was being able to strike anywhere in the world. To do so demanded development and integration in the areas of jet engines, in-air refueling, ballistic missiles, and ultimately nuclear missiles. Lt. Col. Coffey became part of War Planning Operations and was stationed variously at Loring Air Force Base, Robins Air Force Base, and Westover Airforce Base, headquarters of the Eighth Air Force, where he was on the IG team inspecting SAC facilities for standards. In 1966 he was redeployed overseas and assigned to Lindsey Air Station in Wiesbaden, Germany, headquarters for USAFE, while the family found housing at Finthen Army Airfield in Mainz. While in Mainz his skills as a community liaison prompted an invitation for him to join the Reitercorps of the Mainzer Ranzengarde, a local equestrian club, an honor normally reserved for Germans. As Deputy of Operations, headquarters, USAFE, he served as Chief of the Special Plans Branch where he was responsible for HQ USAFE "planning for all aspects of unconventional warfare in the European theater, supervision and coordindation of all Berlin contingency planning, involving frequent and very sensitive high-level coordination and conferences with military and civilian planners of four nations." He created an operational planning concept covering all aspects of conventional warfare that became a basic reference for the work of the USAFE Force Employment Panel on which Lt. Col. Coffey was assistant chairman and coordinator. The panel's determinations largely affected stratgegy and tactics for U.S. and Nato war planning in Europe. In 1969 he officially retired and was transferred back to Homestead Air Force Base and then into civilian life. Among the decorations Lt. Col. Coffey received were the Air Force Commendation Medal, the First Oak Leaf Cluster to the Air Force Commendation Medal, and the Meritorious Service Medal. ==Private Life== In 1977 the Coffeys moved to Moore Haven, Florida, where they bought a ranch and raised cattle. In 1980 he entered the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate but did not qualify for the runoff which went to Bill Gunter. Gunter ultimately lost to Republican Paula Hawkins, the only woman elected to the US Senate from Florida. He became active in local politics and served as a Glades County Commissioner from 1982–1990, and as Commissioner Chairman for two years. He also played a prominent role in the movement to preserve public access for Fisheating Creek when private interests threatened to abolish it. Valerie Coffey died in 2005, and Lt. Col. Coffey currently resides in West Palm Beach, Florida. == References == == External links == http://www.pointvista.com/WW2GliderPilots/ Articles created via the Article Wizard 1921 births Living people People from Walker County, Georgia United States Air Force officers

== Israel and its neighbors == Some editor refuses to acknowledge that Landau didn't single out Israel, but rather according to the NYSun he "pleaded with Secretary of State Rice to 'rape' Israel and its neighbors into resolving their problems." (from here: http://www.nysun.com/article/68612 ) Many who want the occupation to end and for the Jewish nature of Israel to be preserved without having to resort to an apartheid system in an Israeli West Bank, do want drastic action. The longer the occupation goes on and the more the settlements expand, the more likely a one-state solution is, a solution that will destroy the Jewish nature of Israel. It is thus necessary to deal accurately with Landau's statement and not to distort it into a form that is more easily attacked as that is nothing more than dishonestly creating a strawman. Those who want to preserve the Jewish nature of Israel by accomidating a Palestinian state are more courageous Zionists that those who advocate for the settlements and permanent war. == It is you that created the Strawman == Landau to the Jewish Week: 'I did say that in general, Israel wants to be raped — I did use that word — by the U.S., and I myself have long felt Israel needed more vigorous U.S. intervention in the affairs of the Middle East....I told that it had always been my wet dream to address the secretary of state' on these vital matters." Your link to the NY SUn article reveals you are not correct in your claims. This time around Landau specifically referred to raping Israel: "Rape it into resolving the problem." The comments made about "putting the squeeze" on Israel and its neighbors were made in the 1970's, when Landau was working for the Jerusalem Post. It's all in the link you provided. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.68.95.65 (talk) Don't try to salvage sense from these nonsensical statements. They reveal a serious lack of objectivity. Using words like rape and wet dream to describe a relationship between countries shows that this guy is out of his depth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.68.95.65 (talk)

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion () tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thomas Webster Rammell was born in Dent de Lyon on the Isle of Thanet, Kent, United Kingdom. He became an engineer, working for the Metropolitan Board of Health. He was a close friend of Henry Austin, son-in-law of Charles Dickens. In 1849 he visited the North Devon town of Barnstaple to open an inquiry into the "sewage, drainage and supply of water and the sanitary conditions of the inhabitants" He died in 1879 as a result of developing diabetes. Shortly before his death his wife wrote to Richard Temple-Grenville, 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, an old friend, asking whether he had any knowledge of insulin which had recently been developed. Rammell is buried in an unmarked grave in Watford. Contrary to popular belief, he did not die in poverty. His widowed wife later married Frederick Sang, an artist whose work was displayed in the Royal Academy. ==Career highs== He might be called an "un-sung hero" of railway history. He was responsible for the experimental pneumatic railway at Crystal Palace. The Crystal Palace atmospheric or pneumatic railway was built in 1864 at the lower end of the Crystal Palace Park, and was working for a matter of months. It ran for about 600 yards in a 10-ft diameter brick tunnel between the Sydenham and Penge gates to the Park. The tunnel had a gradient of one in 15 and the railway went round in a sharp curve. It had a coach which could seat 35, and a sliding door at each end. There was a remote steam engine coupled to a fan. The railway had a collar of bristles which made it airtight and enabled the coach to be sucked along - at a speed of probably 25 mph. The trip apparently cost sixpence. He was also involved with the abandoned Waterloo and Whitehall Railway under the Thames between Waterloo railway station and Charing Cross railway station. He wrote "A New Plan for Street Railways". ==See also== Crystal Palace pneumatic railway London Pneumatic Despatch Company ==References== 1879 deaths

Daniel N. Paul, C.M., O.N.S., (born 1938) is a Mi'kmaq Elder, author, columnist, and human rights activist. Paul is perhaps best known as the author of the book We Were Not the Savages. Paul asserts that this book is the first such history ever written by a First Nation citizen. The book is seen as an important contribution to the North American Indian movement. One editor stated, "It’s a Canadian version of Dee Brown’s best seller Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee and, as such, served a valuable purpose in raising public consciousness about Mi’kmaq history, identity, and culture." Among his many awards, Paul has been conferred with the Order of Canada and the Order of Nova Scotia. He received from Université Sainte-Anne an honourary Doctor of Letters Degree. ==Life== Prior to Paul’s birth, his parents Sarah Agnes and William Gabriel were re-located from Saint John, New Brunswick to Indian Brook, Nova Scotia. Paul was born at Indian Brook; the eleventh of fourteen children. During his childhood he earned money through selling the Star Weekly, Liberty Magazine, seeds, greeting cards, and painted the interior of houses. At age 14, he left home for Boston. Eventually returning to Nova Scotia, he married twice and had three children. In 1971 he began work for the Department of Indian Affairs, and from 1981 to 1986 was the Department's Nova Scotia District Superintendant of Lands, Revenues, Trusts, and Statutory Requirements. A community activist, he was the founding Executive Director of the Confederacy of Mainland Micmacs (CMM) from 1986 to 1994, and while in this position, initiated fundraising for a new community centre for the Indian Brook Reserve. During his tenure at CMM, Paul also started a trust fund for the Confederacy, which would support financing legal issues for the six Bands associated with the organization. His leadership helped resolve the Afton Band's 170 year old treaty claim to old Summerside property. In addition, he worked to resolve land claims for the Pictou Landing Band. He has also served on Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission, and on the Nova Scotia Department of Justice's Court Restructuring Task Force, among other provincial commissions, as a Justice of the Peace for the Province. He has also written bi-weekly op-eds for the Halifax Chronicle-Herald newspaper. On January 14, 2000, he received a millennium award from the city of Halifax for his contributions. In 2001, Paul was involved with a CBC documentary entitled "Growing Up Native", and in Bear Paw Productions' (Eastern Tide’s) "Expulsion and the Bounty Hunter”. == Author == Paul has written numerous articles in both newspapers and academic journals. His most well known work is We Were Not the Savages, which is now in its 3rd edition. ===Quotes=== "Because of their belief that European civilizations were superior, and therefore all others were inferior or savage, these writers reported the superior human rights practices of Amerindian civilization as if they were abnormal. Later, using these biased records as gospel, many White authors have written works about Mi'kmaq civilization that do not present a true picture. Their efforts were probably taken with sincerity and honesty, but many, if not all, are lacking in two respects: they ignore the Mi'kmaq perspective on civilization and fail to appreciate that the values of the two cultures were in most cases completely opposite... More contemporary authors who have written about Amerindian civilizations have also used European standards to evaluate the relative merits of these cultures. Thus their efforts are flawed." ===Comments by other academics=== "Daniel N. Paul's We Were Not the Savages is a brilliant and painful account of how the Mi'kmaqs were treated by the Europeans. When will Canada and the United States begin paying reparations to Mi'kmaqs and other Tribes for what we did to them over the centuries? Daniel Paul makes a convincing case that the time is now! It is a fact-filled read that will make North Americans of European descent very uncomfortable. I highly recommend it." - Thomas Naylor, Professor Emeritus of Economics, Duke University "We Were Not the Savages is unique, in chronological scope and the story it tells, covering the last three centuries of Mi'kmaq history in detail. Prior to the appearance of this book it was common for historians to downplay or even deny the violence inflicted on the Mi'kmaq people by European and Euro-American colonizers. This work, more than any other piece of scholarly production, has headed off that consensus at a pass. Scalp-bounty prices are now recognized as a historical problem worthy of investigation. Finally, it is important to recognize that we have far too few histories written by Native American authors - very few indeed that cover as extensive a time span as this book does." - Geoffrey Plank, Associate Professor of History, University of Cincinatti. == Treaty of 1752 == Paul celebrates Chief Jean-Baptiste Cope for negotiating the November 1752 Peace and Friendship Treaty with the British, "in a desperate attempt to prevent the complete annihilation of his people". According to historian William Wickens the only written evidence is Cope signed the Treaty on behalf of ninety Mi’kmaq at Shubenacadie. Further, these historians suggest no other Mi’kmaq leaders would endorse the treaty and that Cope himself destroyed it six months after it was ratified. The British did not formally renounce the Treaty until 1756. Despite the short-term fate of the 1752 Peace Treaty with hostilities continuing soon afterward, some Nova Scotians continue to celebrate the signing of it annually on Treaty Day. As Paul also notes, in 1985, the Supreme Court of Canada finally affirmed and recognized its validity (See R v. Simon). In his book, Paul cites in extenso a journal entered under oath by eyewitness Anthony Casteel regarding a resumption of hostilities the following spring, and concludes by noting "In the 1980s, descendants of the British colonials attempted to nullify the Treaty of 1752 in the courts by claiming that Chief Jean Baptist Cope had violated the terms of the treaty during the Casteel incident. But they conveniently overlooked the facts that the English, by their refusal to prosecute two murderers , were in clear violation of the treaty, and that Chief Cope had had very little involvement in the affair." ==Controversy== Paul’s assertions in his publications have caused controversy with numerous scholars of colonial history. Along with Paul, most contemporary scholars of the colonial period in Nova Scotia document the illegal means in which local British authorities confiscated native land. The work of these scholars has been used to address issues of legal reparation. There is also agreement that the British engaged in a long history of frontier warfare against aboriginal families in North America, including the Mi'kmaq people. Paul's work has been helpful in highlighting the history of the British bounty proclamations against aboriginal families. In We Were Not the Savages, Paul outlines the history of the New England and Nova Scotia governors' use of scalping proclamations against the Mi'kmaq. He specifically quotes Massachusetts Governor William Shirley's scalping proclamation of 1744, that of Governor Cornwallis in 1749, and that of Nova Scotia Governor Charles Lawrence in 1756. He also states that there is evidence some Mi'kmaq had even been targeted as early as in the Governor of Massachusetts' scalping proclamation of 1694. In contrast to these scholars, however, Paul asserts that the Mi'kmaq did not employ frontier warfare against families. Paul asserts that Mi’kmaq leaders did not support frontier warfare against Protestant families in Nova Scotia. He states that the Mi’kmaq people who did participate in these practices were simply mercenaries for the French, "mercenaries acting beyond the authority of their leaders." In keeping with this position, Paul dismisses the British account of the Raid on Dartmouth (1749), which asserts the Mi'kmaq attacked six unarmed civilian woodcutters. Historians Geoffrey Plank and Stephen Patterson, however, offer evidence that indicates some of the Mi’kmaq leadership did support frontier warfare against Protestant families, such as Chief Jean-Baptiste Cope. Historian John Grenier asserts, along with the British killing Mi'kmaq families, there were numerous Mi'kmaq raids against protestant families during Father Le Loutre's War. The two most often cited examples of such Mi'kmaq attacks are the Raid on Dartmouth (1751) and the Raid on Lunenburg (1756). Further, Grenier indicates that frontier warfare against families was the standard practice between New England and New France along with their native allies for over a century before the first Protestant families arrived in Nova Scotia with the founding of Halifax. Paul asserts that his work is largely responsible for British colonial figures’ names being removed from landmarks because they used frontier warfare against Mi'kmaq families. In We Were Not..., he mentions his participation in a successful 1998 campaign to change the name of a Nova Scotia Highway that had been named after New England Ranger John Gorham. Paul's efforts have also led to the removal of the name "Cornwallis" from a junior high in Halifax, Nova Scotia. ==See also== Canadian Who's Who - Paul was entered in the publication in 2004 == External Links == Chronicle Herald Editor - How good is the case against Cornwallis? ==References== Texts John Grenier.

The Saudi National Security Council (SNSC) (مجلس الأمن الوطني السعودي Majlis al-Amn al-Waṭanī as-Su‘ūdī) is the body in charge of coordinating Saudi Arabia's national security, intelligence and foreign policy strategy. It was established in 2005 by King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud. The current Secretary General of the SNSC is Bandar bin Sultan, the former Saudi Ambassador to the United States. ==History== The National Security Council was formed on October 16, 2005 by the newly crowned King Abdullah in response to major geopolitical shifts in the Middle East region. The occupation of Iraq made the region "a center for reconstruction, globalization and reorganization" with the entry of the United States as a major player. In addition to its regional influence in the Arabian Peninsula, Saudi Arabia is one of the leading actors in the Islamic world and has a central role in global energy policy. ==Role== The Council was formed to act as an organizational mechanism that coordinates the Kingdom's internal and external policies relating to national security, enabling it to respond effectively to rapidly changing domestic, regional and international environments. It has the power to declare war and investigate security agencies if they are involved in acts that threaten national security. The latter role was deemed necessary since some security agencies are suspected to have been infiltrated by Al-Qaeda, including the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice or religious police. Despite the formation of the Council, as with other Saudi government institutions, major national security decisions will continue to be taken by the most senior members of the royal family, including King Abdullah, Crown Prince Sultan and Prince Nayef. ==Membership== The SNSC is chaired by the King (who is also Prime Minister), with the Crown Prince (who is also Deputy Prime Minister) as deputy chairman. Its affairs are coordinated by a permanent Secretary General. At the time of its formation, other members included the Minister of the Interior, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Deputy Commander of the Saudi Arabian National Guard and head of the General Intelligence Presidency. {| class="wikitable" ! colspan="2" | Saudi National Security Council |- | ChairmanPrime Minister | King Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud |- | Deputy ChairmanDeputy Prime MinisterMinister of Defence and General Aviation | |- | Secretary General | Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud |- | Minister of the Interior | Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud |- | Minister of Foreign Affairs | Prince Saud al-Faisal bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud |- | General Intelligence President | Prince Muqrin bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud |} ===Secretaries General=== The following is the list of Secretaries General of the Saudi National Security Council since 2005: Prince Bandar bin Sultan (16 October 2005) ==References== Government agencies established in 2005 Foreign relations of Saudi Arabia Government organisations of Saudi Arabia National security councils مجلس الأمن الوطني السعودي

After Crying is a Hungarian musical ensemble, established in 1986, which composes and performs contemporary classical music or symphonic rock. They use instruments ranging from classical acoustical instruments like cello, trumpet, piano, flute to the instruments of a modern rock band. They sometimes perform with traditional chamber or symphony orchestras. Their studio albums contain numerous variations in instruments and composition. Though the band has been on an extended hiatus, they announced in January 2008 that they are now "waking up" from their "silent times", playing a light concert schedule as Egervári Gábor recovers from an unsaid illness. ==2005 Lineup (alphabetical order)== (Hungarian names: Family names first) Bátky-Valentin Zoltán (lead vocal, member since 2002) Egervári Gábor (flute, narration, texts and thoughts, live sound, founding member) Görgényi Tamás (artistic director, lyricist, singer of some studio tracks) Lengyel Zoltán (piano, keyboards, vocals, first appeared 1997, regular member since 1998) Madai Zsolt (drums, percussion, vibraphone, member since 1998) Pejtsik Péter (composition, orchestration, cello, bass guitar, vocals, founding member) Torma Ferenc (guitar, synthesizer, composition, founding member) Winkler Balázs (composition, orchestration, trumpet, keyboards.

Hola, porque dices que es racista la aseveración de que en Chile el aporte afro... sea insignificante... solo los llegados desde Peru con la incursión en la guerra del pacífico y la anexión de Tarapaca llegó un número relativamente importante de gente de origen africano, pues la mayoría de la población de Arica en dominio peruano era de raza negra, pero con la anexión a Chile muchos fueron expulsados a Peru o abandonaron el pais por sus propios medios. Hoy en día su aporte racial es insignificante no llega ni al 0,1% de la población chilena. La historia de los afrochilenos es explicada en los parrafos anteriores a tus comentarios. Tus comentarios no tienen referencia alguna, por lo tanto tienen que ser completamente certificados como racistas. Tus anteriores contribuciones a Wikipedia, como la pagina Italian Peruvian y German Peruvian, tambien demuestran vandalismo de tu parte. Segun la referencia encontrada en la pagina German Peruvian: "Nacieron en el Perú, pero sus corazones laten por Alemania. De acuerdo con el último estudio realizado por el investigador Guillermo Godbersen, "Problemática de los descendientes alemanes en el Perú", existen cerca de 600 mil descendientes de teutones en busca de sus orígenes, lo cual parece una tarea más que difícil." Por lo tanto, el numero basado en esta referencia sirve como soporte para el numero incluido en el articulo de Wikipedia. Es vandalismo cambiar el numero por algo que tu crees es correcto, pero no tienes referencia alguna. Blogs son considerados referencias aceptables mientras que no tengan algo controversial o tengan informacion que es clasificada como falsa por referencias con mas credibilidad. == Luis Advis Vitaglic == I was wondering if anyone has any biographical information about this individual's family history; his maternal surname is slavic and he came from Iquique (which has a large chileno-croata community) - most likely he is a chilean of croatian descent.

Operation Herkules was the German code-name given to a planned but never-executed Italo-German invasion of Malta during World War II (the Italian code-name was Operazione C3). Through combined air and sea landings, the Axis powers hoped to eliminate Malta as a British air and naval base and secure an uninterrupted flow of supplies across the Mediterranean Sea to their forces fighting in Libya and Egypt. Though extensive preparations were made by both German and Italian military forces, the rapidly changing war situation in North Africa resulted in the plan's cancellation in November 1942. ==Origins== The Axis plan to invade Malta had its origin in Italian military studies conducted in the mid-1930s during Italy's conquest of Ethiopia. By 1938, the Italian army command had estimated the amount of sea transport it would require to move significant military forces into North Africa and identified the seizure of Malta as a necessary prerequisite. An outline plan for a seaborne assault was drawn up and periodically updated but the Regia Marina (Italian Navy) initially showed little interest in it. The concept was approved at a meeting between Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini on 29–30 April 1942. ==Axis plans and preparations== The planning for this attack was extensive. ===Airborne forces=== Overall command of Herkules airborne component was given to Generalmajor Kurt Student and his XI Fliegerkorps. Student had previously planned and executed the German airborne assault on Crete in April 1941. In contrast with the hasty planning necessary for that operation, Student now had months to prepare and he determined not to repeat the mistakes made previously on Crete. Knowledge of the enemy's defensive positions on Malta was extensive, thanks to meticulous aerial mapping. Every fortification, artillery emplacement and AA battery was carefully noted and scrutinised. Student claimed later that "We even knew the calibre of the coastal guns, and how many degrees they could be turned inland." Ten Gruppen of Junkers Ju 52 transports, totaling 500 aircraft, were allocated for the air landings along with 300 DFS 230 gliders (carrying ten men each) and 200 larger Go 242 gliders (each carrying 23 men or a light vehicle/gun). Also to be included were two dozen Me 321 Gigant gliders capable of carrying up to 200 fully equipped paratroopers or a 25-ton tank. These were to be towed by the newly developed He 111Z (Zwilling), a five-engined modification of the He 111 medium bomber. The Regia Aeronautica (Italian Air Force) would contribute approximately 180-220 transport aircraft, mostly three-engined SM.75s (carrying 24-28 men each), SM.81s (carrying 12-14 men each) and SM.82s (carrying 30-34 men each).Ref Given the short distance (90 miles) between Axis airfields on Sicily and the planned drop zones over Malta, it was possible for the motorized transports to make four round-trips per day. They were to drop one Italian and one German airborne division onto the southern side of the island. The paratroopers had two primary objectives: securing the high ground behind the invasion beaches and seizing a nearby airfield so Axis transport aircraft could quickly land an additional division and supplies. Airborne units slated for the invasion included Germany's 7. Fliegerdivision (11,000 men) plus Italy's Folgore Paratroop Division (7,500 men) and La Spezia Airlanding Division (10,500 men) for a total of approximately 29,000 airborne troops. The main assault convoy was scheduled to begin landing on Malta just before midnight on the first day of the invasion, after the airborne forces had already landed during the afternoon hours and secured the heights above the selected beaches. The bulk of the first-wave assault troops would come from the Friuli Infantry Division (10,000 men) and Livorno Infantry Division (9,850) of the Italian XXX Corps. Also included were 1,200 men from the 1st Assault Battalion and Loreto Battalion (both drawn from the Regia Aeronautica); two battalions of San Marco Marines (2,000); three battalions of Blackshirts (1,900) and 300 Nuotatori (a commando unit of San Marco marines specially trained in ocean swimming and beach assault). Armour support comprised nineteen Semovente 47/32 and eight Semovente 75/18 self-propelled guns plus thirty L3 light tanks (comparable in size and armament to the British Bren Gun Carrier). The follow-up convoy would be mainly made up of troops from the Italian XVI Corps: the Assieta Infantry Division (9,000) and the Napoli Infantry Division (8,900) along with attached artillery assets (3,200). It would also include the remainder of the 10th Armour Regiment (3,800). The Superga Infantry Division (9,200) plus a battalion of Blackshirts and a small detachment of San Marco Marines (1,000) were to be in position to land on the smaller island of Gozo in the early morning hours of the second day. An additional twenty German Panzer III medium tanks were offered for use in the invasion but it is not known what unit these were to be drawn from. ===Getting ashore=== Lacking enough landing craft for a major amphibious assault, the Regia Marina secured design plans from the German Kriegsmarine to build copies of the Marinefährprahm Type A (MFP) in Italian shipyards. These 220-ton shallow-draught vessels were capable of transporting up to 200 fully equipped infantrymen, 2-3 medium tanks or an equivalent weight in cargo, and could unload directly onto an open beach via a drop-down bow ramp. Sixty-five of these motozattere (MZs) were completed by July 1942 and about 50 were available for the invasion. A further 20 German MFPs were transferred to the Mediterranean via the river Rhone to make up for an expected shortfall of Italian-built landing craft. Additional German-operated landing craft sent to Italy via rail for the invasion included twelve Siebel ferries (catamaran rafts powered by automobile engines driving water screws and armed with a mix of 88mm and 20mm flak guns), six Type 39 Pionierlandungsboote (carrying 20 tons of cargo, 2 light vehicles or 45 infantrymen and unloaded via clamshell doors at the bow), six Type 40 Pionierlandungsboote (a larger version of the Type 39, carrying 40 tons of cargo, three or four light vehicles or 80-90 fully equipped infantrymen), a company of eighty-one Sturmboote (Type 39 Stormboats, small plywood boats carrying up to six infantrymen and powered by 30 hp outboard motors) plus an assortment of large inflatable rafts (carrying 25 infantrymen each). Some of these rafts were powered by outboard motors and some were propelled by oars alone.Ref The Italians assembled a varied collection of other naval craft to transport the amphibious forces. These included two former Strait of Messina railway ferries (converted to carry 4-8 tanks each); ten passenger ships (800-1,400 men each); six former passenger ferries (400 men each); six cargo ships (3,000 tons of supplies each); 30 ex-trawlers (300 men each); five converted minelayers (500 men each); and 74 assorted motorboats (30-75 men each). The Italians also requested the use of 200 additional German Sturmboote to assist in quickly transferring men from ship to shore.Ref Specialised landing equipment slated for Herkules included the Seeschlange (Sea Snake), a floating ship-to-shore bridge originally developed by the German Army for Operation Sea Lion. It was formed from a series of joined modules that could be towed into place and act as a temporary jetty. Moored ships could then unload their cargo either directly onto the "roadway" or lower it down onto it via their heavy-duty ship's booms. The Seeschlange had been tested by the Army Training Unit at Le Havre in the fall of 1941 and was easily transportable by rail. ===Naval escort=== The Regia Marina had the twofold task of protecting the invasion convoys from attacks by Britain's Mediterranean Fleet and providing off-shore gunfire support during the landings. The force assigned to accomplish this included four Italian battleships (Littorio, Vittorio Veneto, Caio Duilio, Andrea Doria), four heavy cruisers, eight light cruisers and 21 destroyers. These ships would sortie and assemble from the ports of Messina, Reggio Calabria, Augusta and Cagliari. The two older Duilio-class battleships would carry approximately 200 rounds each for shore bombardment missions. Italian and German submarines were also to be deployed for scouting purposes and for intercepting any British naval forces attempting to interfere with the seaborne landings. One submarine was to be stationed midway between Sicily and Malta and act as a guide beacon for the transport planes on their way to and from the drop zones. The Italian Navy had made some efforts to rectify this situation by equipping the battleship Littorio with an experimental E.C.-3/bis Gufo (Owl) radar apparatus in August 1941 but the unit was considered unreliable (not until September 1942 did Littorio receive a standardised production-version Gufo with better performance; this set could detect surface ships at a range of and aircraft out to a range of ). Also on hand was the 12th Field Regt, Royal Artillery. This unit had two dozen 25-pounder (3.45-inch) field guns, capable of providing indirect fire support out to a range of and covering most of the island while remaining in protected static positions. "BL Mk XXIV, on Mounting, Mk 5 or 6" "BL gun Mk X, on Mounting Mk 7" "QF gun Mk II, on Mounting Mk I". ==Fate== A date near mid-July 1942 was set for the invasion, partly to allow time to bring troops from other frontline positions and partly because Hitler believed the Italian Navy was no match for the Royal Navy. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel supported the idea of seizing Malta, to the point that he personally asked Hitler to allow him to command the invasion forces. His reasons for supporting an invasion were to hinder the Allied troops fighting in Africa, as well as remove the threat to the convoys heading to Rommel with supplies, oil, and men, of all which he was desperately low on. He put the emphasis on the attack to such an extreme that he was willing to move units from his front for the attack. The head of the German Luftwaffe, Hermann Goering, opposed the invasion, fearing it would turn into another near-disaster for his paratroops, as had happened on Crete. General Field Marshal Albert Kesselring tirelessly promoted Operation Herkules but even he was eventually dissuaded when it became apparent that too many air and ground units had been siphoned off to support Rommel's drive into Egypt, thereby significantly diminishing any chance of Herkules success. This, along with Hitler's lack of faith in the paratrooper divisions as a result of the Invasion of Crete and in the Italian Navy's ability to protect the invasion fleet from British naval attacks, led to scrapping of the plan. == References == ==Bibliography== ISBN 978-0822302247 ISBN 978-0306806049 ISBN 978-1861760579 ISBN 0-385-14420-2 ISBN 978-0521509718 ISBN 978-0811734585 ISBN 978-8887372021 ISBN 978-1591146483 ISBN 0-921991-28-2 ISBN 978-0313287978 == External links == Merlins Over Malta Operations List (Malta) Operazione C3 Beutepanzer Herkules Herkules 1942 in Europe 1942 in Malta Cancelled invasions Cancelled military operations of World War II Herkules (invaze) Unternehmen Herkules Operazione C3 Операция «Геркулес»

The second creation was for Sir Thomas Livingston, 2nd Baronet, on 4 December 1696; he was at the same time created Lord Livingston of Peebles. Both titles became extinct upon his death in 1711. ==Viscounts Teviot (1685)== Robert Spencer, 1st Viscount Teviot (1629–1694) ==Viscounts Teviot (1696)== Thomas Livingston, 1st Viscount Teviot (c.1651–1711) Viscountcies Extinct viscountcies

== big jenin lie == i'm not 100% certain this must be in bold, but it certainly feels like it considering it's one of the predominant terms used to describe this event - 13,000 finds is fairly indicative. JaakobouChalk Talk But the relevant search would be "Big Jenin Lie", which returns 236 results, most of which seem to pull back to a single Weekly Standard editorial. It wouldn't seem that "Big Jenin Lie" is one of the predominant terms used to describe this event, after all. It's fine to have a line mentioning that some Western commentators called the media furore the "Big Jenin Lie", but pretty silly to have it listed in bold as if it's a significant name of the event. Eleland actually, the most used is "the big lie" while referring to jenin, however, as you stated, "the big jenin lie" does not appear on many sources but it's still easily interchangeable between "the big lie" and makes it difficult to narrow down when "the big lie" is about jenin and when it isn't... perhaps it should be changed into "the big (jenin) lie", what do you think? note: the third link in the 13,000 find is "Jenin: The Big Lie" which is yet another interchangeable possibility. JaakobouChalk Talk I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at. The specific phrase "Big Jenin Lie" is bolded, as if that phrase is a common name used to refer to the Battle of Jenin. This formatting is reserved for names used to refer to an event. It makes sense to mention that some Western commentators accused Palestinians of propagating a "Big Lie" for propaganda purposes, but not to put the name in boldface as if it's commonly used as a name of the event. Eleland Boldface is for commonly used alternative names for the subject of the article, such as Tamil Tigers for Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. It is not supposed to be used for every epitaph anyone has ever used in relation to the subject. I can find zillions of web pages that use Shrub or Worst President Ever to refer to the current U.S. president but nonetheless those terms should not listed in boldface in the lead of the George W. Bush article, and they aren't. Elelend was right to unbold "Big Jenin Lie". "Jeningrad" should just be removed; the fact that Arafat once used it doesn't justify giving it such prominence. Sanguinalis you have a point, i'll give this naming issue a go later today to try and fix it to a version that will hopefully be agreed upon. JaakobouChalk Talk ==="Jeningrad"=== should we somehow insert the information about the term jeningrad and why it was used by very few people to describe the events? JaakobouChalk Talk == kurdi bear and other issues == i question the validity of this edit, in particular the blanketing of information from the kurdi bear paragraph and the diminishing of the title of the referenced link. considering my history with editor, i am no longer assuming good faith and unless a good explanation is given for this censorship, i am considering this edit as SOAP vandalism. JaakobouChalk Talk The Kurdi Bear quote from an Israeli newspaper is an RS source that claims made about "loudspeaker warnings" is false in many cases. If you have alternative sources that prove your contention, by all means insert them. In the meantime, do not remove verifiable information, and in particular don't remove English-language references and replace them with the non-verifiable. PalestineRemembered PalestineRemembered, you did not address the issue of content blanketing and only justified the content you allowed to stay on the article (and added an unsourced accusation). JaakobouChalk Talk Jaakobou I'm not aware of having blanked any content. However, I am a little bit keen to delete material that is provably false. The UN and HRW said only that a minimum of 52 were killed, it is clearly false to say "52 in total". If you continue to behave in this deceitful fashion I will have to escalate the matter. PalestineRemembered the issue is the removed information from the kurdi bear paragrah. i would think you would know since you've already mentioned the kurdi bear quote (see above) when you made your unsourced accusation. JaakobouChalk Talk I just made a number of edits to the page, most of them expanding the sourced content to cover the combat etc. (I intentionally spread it out over several edits so as to make it easy for everyone to see exactly what I did). The major change I made was to remove what was left of the Kurdi passage, as it suffered from the same distorted context as its previous iterations (in this case, especially if one reads the Hebrew, it is obvious that he is only saying that he didn't give a warning shake of the house and says the loudspeaker announcements were made before he even got there, very different from how it is currently represented). I expanded upon the same points from less problematic sources to ensure that any gap was addressed. I also made some more minor content changes like changing "sections of the city" levelled by bulldozers to "numerous buildings", which seems more factual to me. I also rephrased the "BBC wrongly reported" bit, which is quite unencyclopaedic, and removed "Israel's alleged part in" from the Sabra and Shatila massacre, since he was not specifically alluding to those allegations, and it is best not to have discussions of other controversial topics here that are fleshed out on their own linked entries. I preserved CJCurrie's edit, but moved it to the discussion of the casualties, leaving a more concise wording in the lead. That should cover everything, but if not, please raise it here. TewfikTalk There was nothing distorted about the "Kurdi Bear" passage, it was just a very small sample of a detailed (and horrific) RS account by the guy who probably did the largest amount of the destruction. "They were warned by loudspeaker to get out of the house before I come, but I gave no one a chance. ........ Many people were inside houses we started to demolish. ....... I am sure people died inside these houses." Whether it's unencyclopedic to say "BBC wrongly reported" I'm not sure, but that particular articleis clearly wrong. The UN report they're talking about[http://www.un.org/peace/jenin/index.html clearly does not say "total 52", it says "at least 52 Palestinians". We should not be putting information into the encyclopedia that we know to be false. PalestineRemembered It is exactly that kind of selective quoting that is the problem, in addition to the inadequate translation provided by Gush Shalom. He actually says:were warned by loudspeaker to get out of the house before I But I gave no one a chance. I didn't wait. I didn't give one blow, and wait for them to come out. The "but I gave no one a chance" is in reference to not giving a "warning blow/ramming"; the loudspeaker warning takes place before he comes. Thus, while the 'interview' is played up and sensationalised, there is no revelation of war crimes, and certainly not an admission that innocent people were intentionally killed. Even this line is discussing houses from which gunfire was emanating. We are all better off if RS and context are preserved for this entry. As for the "inquiry" from this advocacy group, it is hardly an RS, and there is no reason to believe that any further bodies recovered were not documented by the UN, AI, HRW etc., especially when they were allegedly found before those organisations' reports were published. Also, selecting to highlight some "damning" phrases from external links is not neutral, and not encyclopaedic. I do hope that any further issues can be worked out. TewfikTalk I'll assume that the continued reversions to text discussed above while ignoring my explanation was accidental, but as I've pointed this out in my edit summary, I do hope it won't be repeated... TewfikTalk I thought I'd invited you to do a "writing for the enemy" on the "Kurdi Bear" clip somewhere? If not, can I extend the invitation to you here? It's a highly significant and unimpeachable account of one small (but very famous) part of this affair, and clearly belongs in the article. Jaakobou did something similar of his own accord, it was pretty poor and objectionable on a number of grounds, but at least he made an effort. PalestineRemembered You did extend that invitiation already, and I replied below to it: I've already explained above what the passage does and doesn't say. There is no 'admission' that the Israelis were really lying. TewfikTalk TewfikTalk == The neutrality and factual accuracy of this article are disputed. == article was first nominated on Aug. 3rd for inspection of neutrality by anon. user who did not open a talk page section. Then first to introduce the "totally disputed" tag (same date aug. 3, much later in the day - 19:44) was Eleland, who also did not open a talk page subsection explaining this dispute. this info was reinstated in this order: CJCurrie, PalestineRemembered, CJCurrie, PalestineRemembered, G-Dett, then it was removed by Eleland but reinstated again and reinserted by Speciate. now, will someone from above editors please make a valid case for this "totaly disputed" tag or can we get rid of it without seeing it reverted in? JaakobouChalk Talk Jaakobou, you know very well that there's a long, ongoing neutrality and factual dispute because you've been a major disputant. There is no provision which requires a separate section on talk just for the tag, when the dispute already exists. Don't you dare take the tag down again on such a shabby excuse. Eleland Eleland, your in no position state "Don't you dare...", if the article is "totally disputed", it means that it is extremely distorted and innaccurate and unreferenced etc. etc. which is not the case here. i see no reason for the orange tag except that one side is unhappy that they look bad with the material in the article. JaakobouChalk Talk This article was terrible, and it's not much improved. It's extremely distorted, beginning with the lead, it contains Jaakobou - this article is a disgrace. All efforts to improve it are wrecked by the outrageous reverting back into the article of such garbage as"The allegations were debunked, and the Palestinian death toll was estimated at 52 by the UN". That's a provable falsehood (as well as being unencyclopedic). If this article were not so bad, you would quite likely have been perma-blocked for inserting such straightforward falsehoods. In your shoes, I'd keep very quiet about the tags - they're about the only tattered protection you have left! PalestineRemembered And Jaakobou, there is a question I need to ask you. During the period of this action (April 2002) were you more than 4, more than 40, more than 400 or more than 4000 miles away from Jenin? If you were less than 4 miles away from it, did you handle a weapon or otherwise take any part in the Battle of Jenin? If you cannot (or refuse) to answer this question, then I think you should recuse yourself from editing this article, because of the grave danger of Conflict of Interest. If you'd told us earlier of your involvement, there'd still be a danger of CoI, but your editing behaviour would be more understandable. PalestineRemembered When your username openly states that you have a quite partisan agenda, incivility and spurious allegations against other users are unacceptable. Please maintain a collegial atmosphere by reciprocating the lack of attacks against you, and focusing on content, rather than contributors. TewfikTalk warning issued. JaakobouChalk Talk I don't know (nor do I care) how far away Jaakobou was from Jenin during April 2002. I was in Los Angeles during April-May 1992. Does that mean I shouldn't edit the article on the 1992 Los Angeles riots? This event was at least as controversial in the United States as the Battle of Jenin was in the Arab-Israeli conflict. If you were a police officer, a rioter, or a victim of rioting, there could be a CoI. That doesn't mean you can't edit the article. It means you should tread lightly and make others aware of the conflict. PalestineRemembered has not said that Jaakobou shouldn't edit the article, so your rhetorical question seems like a straw man. Eleland he only made an accusation and demanded things based on that accusation. JaakobouChalk Talk I have modified the template, so that it now links to here as "the relevant section on the talk page". Keep in mind that virtually the entire talk page comprises disputations of neutrality and factual accuracy, though. Eleland there are disputes in every article, the disputes on this one do not justify such a strong "totaly disputed" tag, as most of the article is agreed upon and everything is well referenced. JaakobouChalk Talk now, will someone from above editors please make a valid case for this "totaly disputed" tag or can we get rid of it without seeing it reverted in? JaakobouChalk Talk A partial and provisional summary: The lede is mostly devoted to laborious explanation of the official IDF reasons for the raid (well, I presume they're the official versions, since there are no citations the reasons might actually be original research), and perniciously presents the widely reported fact that the Israelis used tanks, helicopters, and armored bulldozers as if it was only a "Palestinian claim". The "background" section is devoted entirely to hasbara, and I mean this word in its neutral sense. It's mostly a summary of Israeli explanations for why they "had to do it", with brief info about the units involved. There is no corresponding Palestinian Order of Battle, and it is capped off with a particularly disgusting line which describes defensive booby traps as "ten times larger than a typical suicide bomber's charge". It's as if the authors believe that WP readers are ignorant children who need to be reminded of the "correct" way to think about Jenin every sixty seconds or so. "The battle" section begins with "Israeli forces...secured the town of Jenin". I'm sure the dozens of Palestinians who died subsequently were glad to die "securely". It proceeds to an estimate from Israeli intelligence with no corresponding reports from neutral observers or Palestinians. It proceeds to present the IDF claim of "infantry instead of carpet bombing for humanitarian reasons" as objective fact, falsely claims that there were no targeted bombardments from aircraft, then describes a "limited" use of helicopters, a blatant misrepresentation of the cited sources ("The helicopters that swarmed angrily above the city's roofs, firing indiscriminately into the city's crowded refugee camp", "Houses pierced from wall to wall by tank or helicopter gun ships") At this point my summary ends, because I am too filled with rage and disgust at you personally and your ilk to continue without violating CIV or NPA. Eleland First of all, if this subject-matter is filling you "with rage and disgust", you might consider stepping back and taking a break. Perhaps you would appreciate this essay. As for your points: Perhaps you could explain what it is you would like to be added to the lead? AFAIK, there is no alternative explanation to balance that of the IDF. Tanks, armoured bulldozers, and helicopters are mentioned uncontroversially throughout the article, and are not presented as Palestinian claims. The Palestinian claim was that that military hardware was used indiscriminately to effect a massacre. Keep Lead section in mind when replying. I'm not sure what you mean by calling it [but again, could you suggest specific changes? I didn't find any Palestinian order of battle, which is unsurprising since they didn't initiate the battle directly, which was framed as a response to the suicide attack campaign. I'm also unsure of what you mean about "the 'correct' way to think about Jenin", but that line is a specific paraphrase from

Welcome! Hello, , and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: Introduction The five pillars of Wikipedia How to edit a page Help pages How to write a great article Manual of Style I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ~~~~, which will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on , or place on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Hi Ezzoda, I'm a part of the current WikiGuides program, so I've been a list of new editors to contact and offer to assist. Wikipedia can be frustrating to start out with, and there are a ton of long policy documents, technical discussion, internal essays and more, and that can be alienating. That said, a lot of the basics aren't too bad, and a lot of the bumps are easier with someone to help you roll with them. Feel free to contact me at any point with any question by hitting the "Talk" button in my signature and posting on my Talk page. Give me a shout if I can assist you over some of the early hurdles.‎WIERDGREENMAN, Thane of Cawdor THE CAKE IS A LIE (talk)

Uh... I think someone needs to link this to X-Men somehow. I don't know the X-Men comics but I know the Morlocks are from the X-Men universe. Also, this isn't an appropriate place to reference the Morlocks from The Time Machine, as this is about comics. I've removed most of the real names given here by Sherryshriner. I can't find any source for any of these removed names except for a few that were only used in X-Men Evolution. If any of them are actually canonical, please provide a source. -Sean Curtin You rock dude! I've been trying to tidy up her stuff as well. Sherryshriner made up a lot of the Acolytes real names. Lucky for her, the OHOTMU A-Z #1 came out and revealed their actual real names. Originalsinner i think there is something wrong with atleast one of the links. i clicked on erg and it just brings me right to the same page i was just on. Should we separate Erg and Beautiful Dreamer? They did just get rescued from limbo so we may get some more info on them during Decimation and Civil War. At any rate, they deserve more than 2 sentences. I'm altering the comment about Piper being from the SLM's I'm not sure the "Joined In" column is an appropriate label. Several members are identified as having thus joined the Morlocks in Uncanny X-Men #169. However, they didn't join in that issue. It's merely their first appearance (and the first appearance as a whole). So maybe the "joined in" column should be renamed "First Appearance" or something else. -JamesAM == Question == Who was that little girl Morlock in the X-Men Evolution episode? The one who could paralyse people by touching them? Bluecatcinema ==Fair use rationale for Image:Morlocks1.jpg== Morlocks1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
