31,460,090 | Public diplomacy is that "form of international Political Advocacy in which the civilians of one country use legitimate means to reach out to the civilians of another country in order to gain popular support for negotiations occurring through diplomatic channels."

== Important legislation ==
The following four acts provide the foundational legislative authority for public diplomacy as practiced by the U.S. government:
First: The State Department's basic authorities Act of 1956
- Authorizes six Under Secretaries of State for the United States Department of State and requires the existence of an Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs.
Second: The United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 (Smith-Mundt Act)
authorizes the Secretary of state to "Prepare and disseminate 'information about the United States, its people, and its policies, through press, publications, radio, motion pictures, and other information media, and through information centers and instructors abroad.'"
~ the controversy of the Smith-Mundt Act, pertains to Section 501 which, "unlike previous government public information efforts, prohibits materials developed under the authorities of this Act from being disseminated within the United States, its territories, or possessions"
The law imposes a geographic segregation of audiences between those inside the U.S. and those outside it, based on the fear that content
aimed at audiences abroad might "spill over" into the U.S. This not only shows a lack of confidence and understanding of U.S. public
diplomacy and international broadcasting, it also ignores the ways in which information and people now move across porous, often non-
existent borders with incredible speed and ease, to both create and empower dynamic other country, except perhaps North
Korea and China, prevents its own people from knowing what is said and done in their name.
Third: The Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (Fulbright-Hays Act of 1961)
This act "authorizes U.S. exchange programs as a public Diplomacy tool"
Fourth: The United States International Broadcasting Act of 1994
Reorganizes U.S. non-military international broadcasting
Creates nine-member Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG)under which it places all U.S. international broadcasting.
"Charges the Secretary of State and the BBG with respecting the professional independence and integrity of the international Broadcasting Bureau, its broadcasting services, and the grantees of the board."
== U.S. Information Agency (USIA) ==
USIA supported a coordinated and extensive approach to public diplomacy. As Kathy Fitzpatrick sums up:
:USIA's presence was felt in all corners of the world. Thousands of public diplomacy specialists were stationed in more than 175
:countries. The Voice of America was broadcasting to 100 million people weekly. USIA was producing books and magazines in more than 100
:languages. The agency was operating a global library network in 150 countries, teaching English to thousands of foreign citizens, hosting
:exhibits depicting American ideals that drew billions of visitors, producing films and programs widely popular in other nations, and
:administering cultural and euducational exchange programs in which millions of world citizens participated. According to USIA veteran
:Wilson P. Dizard Jr., "it was the biggest information and cultural effort ever mounted by one society to influence the attitudes and
:actions of men and women beyond its borders."
Therefore, a piece of legislation which had serious ramifications for American Public Diplomacy was the Foreign Affairs Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 which folded USIA into the State Department and put all International Broadcasting in the hands of the BBG.
== In the 21st century ==
===Structure===
In a 2008 survey of USIA alumni, Kathy Fitzpatrick surmised, "Notwithstanding increased funding for public diplomacy in the Middle East after 9/11 and despite dozens of reports by government and private organizations calling for substantial improvements in public diplomacy capabilities, American public diplomacy remains underfunded, undervalued, and underutilized."
Since 1999, the Foreign Affairs Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, also known as The Consolidation Act, abolished USIA and transferred its functions (information, cultural, and educational operations) to the United States Secretary of State and the United States State Department. Specifically, these functions fall under the leadership of the Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs.
On the other hand, the Consolidation Act also established the BBG as an "independent entity within the executive branch." U.S. International Broadcasting continues to play a vital role in American public diplomacy. As former president of the BBG and 2008 undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, James K. Glassman says, "U.S. international broadcasting is America's largest civilian public diplomacy program, and one that "provides a lifeline to people seeking the truth" in many closed societies."
An organizational chart of Public Diplomacy within the Department of State is available on pg. 19 of the 2009 report by CRS (Congressional Research Service) entitled U.S. Public Diplomacy: Background and Current Issues available online at:
On pg. 25 of that same report by CRS, there is an organizational chart of U.S. International Broadcasting under the BBG. Also Available at:
===Issues===
====Oversaturation====
The drawback to modern technology is that there is an oversaturation of information which make it hard to reach and/or move your audience. As Kristin Lord writes,"Despite the extraordinary power of the U.S. government, its public diplomacy activities are, and increasingly will be, only a fraction of the many images and bits of information citizens around the world receive every day. Moreover, they are only one part of the many ways America – through its culture, products, services, philanthropy, people, and media – reaches foreign publics. That does not reduce public diplomacy’s importance; perhaps it increases it. But we need to maintain our perspective."
====U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy====
Established under section 604 of the United States Information and Exchange Act of 1948, the Commission "appraises U.S. Government activities intended to understand, inform, and influence foreign publics." The charter is available online.
The 2008 report, entitled Getting the People Part Right, addressed the effect of human resources on public diplomacy. The report concluded:
:The Commission believes that we can significantly enhance the quality and effectiveness of our nation’s
:outreach to foreign publics by: recruiting for the public diplomacy career track in a more focused way;
:testing our recruitees more thoroughly and methodically for their PD instincts, knowledge and skills;
:training them more intensively in the core PD skill-set of persuasive communication; and evaluating them
:more on communication and less on administration.”
The 2010 report, entitled Assessing U.S. Public Diplomacy: A Notional Model, was a report based on work done at the direction of the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy by the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin. The report addressed the method of measuring the effectiveness of U.S. Public Diplomacy. Its contents may be summed up as follows: the thermometer is broken, it doesn't work. Moreover, the concluding remarks of the introductory letter from the Commission members offers more insight as to the state of public diplomacy than the actual contents of the report:
:“We offer an observation about the Commission and its work. We fully appreciate that the Commission is
:charged by the President and the Congress to undertake important advisory and oversight work in
:connection with public diplomacy; this work has been made all the more important following the 9/11
:attacks on our nation and the imperative of conducting thoughtful, effective public diplomacy in support
:of our policy objectives. We have been frustrated at times by limitations related to re-authorization,
:funding, staffing and access to department officials.”
====V. extremist Islamic propaganda====
The 9/11 Commission makes the following assessment:The enemy is not Islam, the great world faith, but a perversion of Islam. The enemy goes beyond al Qaeda to include the radical ideological movement, inspired in part by al Qaeda, that has spawned other terrorist groups and violence. thus our strategy must match our means to two ends: dismantling the al Qaeda network and, in the long term, prevailing over the ideology that contributes to Islamist terrorism."
Steven Corman, professor at Arizona State University and director of that school’s Consortium for Strategic Communication ( states that the U.S. must “engage the narrative in the new media. … We should be able to do that better than any terrorist group.”
The conflict between the U.S. and Extremist Islamic groups is fundamentally a conflict of ideas. It is a battle for truth. As Patricia Harrison, assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs, asserted, "if we do not define ourselves, others will do it for us."
The U.S.' approach has been critiqued for focusing too heavily on promoting secularism, capitalism, and democracy rather than on the rejection of violence and terrorism, and for equating "moderation" with "liberalism" in its engagement with the Islamic world.
====U.S. v. China====
On February 15, 2011, a minority staff report was submitted to the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. In the letter of transmittal, ranking member Richard Lugar stated:
In the same way that our trade with China is out of balance, it is clear to even the casual observer that when it comes to interacting directly with the other nation's public we are in another lop-sided contest. China has a vigorous public diplomacy program, based on a portrayal of an ancient, benign China that is, perhaps, out of touch with modern realities. Nonetheless, we are being overtaken in this area of foreign policy by China, which is able to take advantage of America's open system to spread its message in many different ways, while using its fundamentally closed system to stymie U.S. efforts.
In the arena of public diplomacy, the report cites China's continued suppression of freedom of speech and freedom of information within their country esp. via the internet. The key means of communication which remains open to the U.S., i.e. individual interaction, is an opportunity which the U.S. has failed to promote. The report cites two significant failures on the part of U.S. public diplomacy:
The U.S. has five American centers in all of China. This compared to the seventy some Confucius Institutes throughout the United States.
The Shanghai World Expo was a brilliant opportunity for the U.S., however, while "more than 7,000,000" Chinese visited the U.S. Pavilion, the U.S. was criticized for its "hastily organized presentations and lack of a cogent message."
== Other government agencies exercising public diplomacy ==
Aside from the State Department, two other government entities have clear foreign policy roles and, accordingly, engage foreign publics through public diplomacy. These are the United States Department of Defense and the United States Agency for International Development
===United States Department of Defense – strategic communication===
"Strategic Communications" is the D.O.D. version of "public diplomacy." The D.O.D. defines "strategic communication" as:
focused United States Government efforts to understand and engage key audiences to create, strengthen,
or preserve conditions favorable for the advancement of United States Government interests, policies,
and objectives through the use of coordinated programs, plans, themes, messages, and products
synchronized with the actions of all instruments of national power.
Related activities include:
Information Operations (IO)
Public affairs (military)
Defense Support to Public Diplomacy
Strategic Communications Activities include:
Internet – as a battlefield of ideas
Human Terrain Teams – providing expert knowledge on foreign societies
The Global Maritime Partnership – "deployment of Navy warships and hospital ships to conduct civil-military operations in foreign countries as well as deliver humanitarian assistance."
===United States Agency for International Development (USAID)===
USAID plays a significant role in public diplomacy because of its a-political humanitarian bent. As Nakamura writes, "the Agency creates long-standing relationships between the United states and the people of other countries, relationships that are capable of influencing foreign publics to view U.S. policies and actions as beneficial and to cooperate with U.S. government initiatives.
Up-to-date information available at
==Public diplomacy and the American people==
The potency of U.S. public diplomacy is integrally connected to the American people. The role of the private sector in American public diplomacy is indispensable. As Kristin Lord writes,
To be most influential, American public diplomacy should tap into and mobilize these private actors as much as possible – as advocated by countless recent reports. This should happen within current official structures. In addition, the United States should find new ways to engage private actors and employ
technology, media, and private sector expertise.
In the end, America must communicate a sense of herself. As Harvard professor Joseph Nye states, the strength of American soft power comes from its ability to "inspire the dreams and desires of others."

15,357,876 | Ouvrage Einseling is a lesser work (petit ouvrage) of the Maginot Line. Located in the Fortified Sector of Faulquemont, the ouvrage consists of one infantry block (béton armé), and is located between petits ouvrages Bambesch and Laudrefang, facing Germany. Einseling faced a determined German attack on 21 June 1940, during the Battle of France. Unlike its less fortunate neighbors to the west, Einseling was able to resist the attack with help from Laudrefang, its neighbor to the east. The ouvrage survives in a heavily battered state, with its lower levels flooded.
== Design and construction ==
The site was surveyed by CORF (Commission d'Organisation des Régions Fortifiées), the Maginot Line's design and construction agency, and was approved for construction in April 1932. It was completed at a cost of 7 million francs by the contractor Borie of Paris. The petit ouvrage was planned for construction in two phases. The second phase was to add an 81mm mortar turret block and a separate entrance block.
== Description ==
Einseling is built as a single infantry block. The casemate-like ouvrage is armed with two automatic rifle cloches (GFM), two machine gun cloches (JM), one retractable machine gun turret, and one machine gun/anti-tank gun embrasure (JM/AC47).
Work for the unbuilt second phase included a separate entry blocks and an 81mm mortar turret block. The gallery system was to include underground barracks, ammunition storage and a utility area at a depth of about .
=== Casemates and shelters ===
In addition to the connected combat blocks, a series of detached casemates and infantry shelters surround Bambesch, including
Casemate d'Einseling Nord: Armored block with one 81mm mortar, one GFM-A and one GFM-A/B cloche.
Casemate d'Einseling Sud: Armored block with one 81mm mortar and two GFM cloches.
The two casemates flank the main block a few hundred meters to either side. A project to link the casemates to the central block was never started.
Casemate de Stocken: Artillery casemate with two 75mm guns and one GFM cloche, located well to the rear.
== Manning ==
The 1940 manning of the ouvrage under the command of Lieutenant Vaillant comprised 68 men and 1 officer of the 156th Fortress Infantry Regiment. The units were under the umbrella of both the 3rd and 4th Armies, Army Group 2. The Casernement de Zimming provided peacetime above-ground barracks and support services to Kerfent and other positions in the area.
== History ==
See Fortified Sector of Faulquemont for a broader discussion of the Faulquemont sector of the Maginot Line.
Following the 15 June 1940 breakthrough by German forces through the Saar gap, the Germans advanced along the rear of the Maginot Line. The German 167th Infantry Division approached Kerfent, Bambesch, Einseling and Téting on 19 June. On the 20th the Germans successfully assaulted Bambesch, which was not within the reach of heavy French artillery. The following day the Wehrmacht attacked Einseling, which was more fortunate, as it was within range of Laudrefang's 81mm mortars. Laudrefang's fire, along with accurate fire from Einseling's lighter weapons, broke up a German artillery attack. The ouvrage survived until the Second Armistice at Compiègne took effect on 25 June, when it surrendered.
After World War II, Einseling was in poor condition and was not chosen for renovation.
The surface of the ouvrage has been cleaned up by local residents and may be visited. The lower levels are flooded with water.

===Laser brain===
(talk page)
(125/0/1); Ended Mon, 11 May 2009 00:14:05 (UTC)
====Nomination====
Co-nomination by SandyGeorgia. Laser brain has been a solid reviewer, FA writer and positive presence at FAC since he registered his account almost a year and a half ago, quickly achieving a rank among FACs best reviewers (see February and May 2008 stats). He is among the most conscientous, prolific, and thorough reviewers at FAC, has written an FA, and has also helped out on the Signpost Dispatches with an article about MainPage day. He is always willing to tackle and stick with difficult reviews at FAC, and has demonstrated his civility and fair approach many times over. He is the kind of editor who does his homework and learns and applies policy well and fairly. FAC is a good forum for learning about copyright and plagiarism issues, and having another committed and civil admin on board to help deal with those issues, and ongoing FAC business, will benefit Wiki. SandyGeorgia (Talk)
Co-nomination by Karanacs. From my first interactions with Laser brain, I have been impressed with his ability to work well with all types of users. In his opinion, "we need to do our best to support and encourage" those editors committed to improving the encyclopedia, and ignore those who are here for other purposes. This philospophy may be the reason I see him most often at FAC, where he is one of the hardest working reviewers. FAC can be a difficult environment for reviewers, as constructive criticism is not always well received. Regardless of the response his comments receive, Laser is unfailingly civil, encouraging and helpful [ He spends a significant amount of his wiki-time copyediting articles that are being prepared for FAC (and at times works on articles that he has already opposed at FAC to bring them up to the FA prose standards). In addition, he has spent considerable effort improving several key articles, including an ongoing collaboration on Frankenstein.
Laser brain does not have a lot of experience with traditional administrative work, although he does revert vandalism and warn vandals. For the tasks he intends to pursue, however, the most important qualities are a CLUE, knowledge of content and image policies, and the ability to interact well with editors in potentially stressful situations. He has those in spades. I'm confident that Laser can learn any other skills he needs to do janitorial tasks, and that he will be a highly effective administrator. Karanacs (talk)
Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept.
====Questions for the candidate====
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
A: I'm interested in helping out at Copyright problems and Non-free content review. Both are usually backlogged, and since both involve potential copyright infringements, they should receive as much administrator attention as possible. They also require reasoned examination of text and images against Wikipedia policies and guidelines, something I am no stranger to due to my extensive experience at FAC. I frequently deal with copyright and plagiarism issues in my professional arena, giving me a solid background to deal with such issues. I will also be able to help with the housekeeping tasks that come up at FAC.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: I believe my contributions to reviewing Featured article candidates are the most important thing I do around here. Each article promoted from that process brings Wikipedia one step closer to becoming a comprehensive, well-written reference. There in the trenches, we collaborate, improve articles, and build consensus on what constitutes our best content. On the content creation side, I have brought musical instrument, a Vital article, a considerable distance from where I found it. I am proud of starting and bringing Elderly Instruments to Featured article status. I am also involved in a collaboration to bring Frankenstein, another important article, up to FA standard.
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A: Sure thing. A lot of what I do involves criticizing the work of other users—conflicts and stressful situations are bound to arise. One exchange that sticks in my mind is when a user was raising spectres of cabalism and bad faith at one of his FAC nominations. I engaged him in conversation to point, and then suggested an RfC might be in order. The situation didn't escalate from there, but it demonstrates my path of conflict resolution. Most conflicts can be resolved through "patient conversation" (to quote an administrator I greatly respect), but when that has been exhausted one must use the proper channels rather than resorting to name-calling and vengeful behavior. I am also a consensus-builder; in any dispute, I aim for a practical, consensus-based solution.
Optional question from Tempodivalse
4. What is your understanding of consensus? How would you determine if consensus does or does not exist in different situations? I'm asking this because, as an admin, you will inevitably come across a situation where you will need to weigh consensus in order to take a certain action, such as in an AfD, article content disupte, et cetera.
A: Consensus is the general agreement of discussion participants over any given matter. Since no one here wields absolute power, Wikipedia operates on a consensus model for determining how things should occur. Admins make some unilateral decisions (such as whether to speedy delete something) but the policies and guidelines governing those decisions are formed by consensus. Determining consensus is not a numbers game—one must carefully examine the merit and general level of agreement of each argument. Sometimes the waters are too muddied and no consensus exists, wherein a default action is taken.
Additional questions from Jennavecia
5a. What is your view of the current BLP situation? Do you believe there is a problem or do you believe that we are doing a sufficient job in maintaining our BLPs and protecting the subjects of them? If the former, please explain how significant you feel the problem is.
A: I don't monitor nearly enough BLPs to know how we're going on a grand scale. The ones I do watch are closely guarded, so I'd give us an "A" on that account. I've spent a day or two reviewing all of the relevant policy pages as well as ArbCom cases, and I'm confident that our collective head is in the right place. Do no harm. If content is questionable, get it out of there until someone can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it belongs there. We can't be careful enough in this regard.
5b. What is your stance on each of the following for BLPs?
1. Flagged revisions
2. Flagged protection and patrolled revisions
3. Semi-protection (liberal use or protection for all)
A:
5c. For BLP AFDs resulting in "no consensus", do you believe it is better to default to keep or default to delete? Why?
A:
5d. Imagining you're an admin, you go to close a BLP AFD on a marginally notable individual. Reading through the comments, you see that the subject of the article (identity verified through OTRS) has voiced concerns about false claims that have been made in the article, and wants it to be deleted. How much consideration, if any, do you give to their argument?
A:
Additional optional questions from Groomtech
6. Do you believe that Wikipedians have rights? If so, what will you do to uphold those rights?
A:

55,642,640 | The Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM) held a leadership election on 21 April 2018. Snap election was held as a result of party's losses in 2017 legislative election. Josef Skála was first major candidate to announce his candidacy. The incumbent leader Vojtěch Filip decided to run for another term. MEP Kateřina Konečná became third major candidate. Filip and Skála eventually advanced to second round.
Filip won the election and was elected for another four years.
==Background==
KSČM received only 8% in 2017 legislative election and was reduced to 15 seats. Josef Skála the leader of inner-party's opposition called for the resignation of the incumbent leader Vojtěch Filip. It was announced that snap election would be held in April 2018. Filip decided to not seek reelection. Skála announced he will run if he receives support in regions.
In November 2017, conflict within the party started. Radical wing represented by Skála attacked moderate wing led by Jiří Dolejš. Skála called Dolejš's wing Bourgeoisie opportunists. Dolejš believes that KSČM should modernise party's image.
The incumbent leader Vojtěch Filip eventually decided to seek another term as the leader and announced his candidacy on 27 February 2018. He secured large number of nominations from party's organisations. His candidacy was criticised by many members of the party due to his responsibility for 2017 election result. His main rival Skála was on the other hand criticised for his radical stances. MEP Kateřina Konečná was speculated as a possible third candidate due to her youth and moderate stances. Kateřina Konečná announced her candidacy on 27 March 2018. MPs Leo Luzar and Zdeněk Ondráček also received nominations for the position of leader.
Parlamentní Listy reported on 20 April 2018, that Luzar and Vondráček won't run but will instead support Konečná. 10 people were nominated for the position of leader. Filip, Skála and Konečná are considered only candidates with a real chance to win the position. Filip is considered the front-runner a he received highest number of nominations.
===Candidates===
Oldřich Duchoň
Vojtěch Filip, the incumbent leader. He previously stated that he won't run but changed his mind. He himself mentioned that he could run if he gets support from regions.
Stanislav Grospič, former Deputy leader of the party.
Ivan Hrůza
Martin Juroška
Kateřina Konečná, MEP. She was speculated as a possible candidate since March 2018. She announced her candidacy on 27 March 2018.
Leo Luzar, MP.
Zdeněk Ondráček, MP.
Daniel Pawlas
Josef Skála, Filip's main opponent in the party. He plans to run for the position. He is considered an orthodox communist.
===Declined===
Jiří Dolejš, Vice-Chairman. Speculated to be a candidate.
Filip Zachariáš, Chairman of Vyškov KSČM. He was speculated as a possible rival for Skála.
==Opinion polls==
==Voting==
Leo Luzar and Zdeněk Ondráček withdrawn from election early on 21 April 2018 and supported Kateřina Konečná. Stanslav Grospič also withdrawn from election. 315 delegates are allowed to vote. Ivan Hrůza withdrawn from election during his nomination speech and endorsed Skála. Vojtěch Filip and Josef Skála advanced to second round. Filip received 110 votes while Skála 105. Kateřnia Konečná came third with 79 votes. Filip won the second round, with 165 votes to Skála's 143.

==Speedy deletion nomination of Skarwyn==
A tag has been placed on Skarwyn requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

==Speedy deletion nomination of Tradyo==
A tag has been placed on Tradyo, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

== Tradyo ==
Because you created that so many times, the title has been salted - locked against creation. Before you can post an article, you will have to convince user , the admin who salted it, that you have an article worth posting. See userspace draft for how you ca make a draft in your user space to show him.
But before you spend any effort on that, read these carefully:
Your first article
FAQ/Organizations
Notability (organizations and companies)
The point is that Wikipedia is selective about article subjects. The criterion is called notability, and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people unconnected with the subject thought it important emough to write significant comment about?
That means that a new company or website probably won't qualify, but it isn't an encyclopedia's business to help publicise new things - we only report what is already established enough for there to be independent comment about them.
From what you wrote about Tradyo, it sounds to me as though it is in too early a stage of its career to have achieved notability in Wikipedia's sense. Before you put a lot of effort into trying to get it into Wikipedia, think hard about whether you can really show notability yet, because if not you will just be wasting your time.

== Propose move page to Dandenong ==
I see no reason why this page shouldn't simply called Dandenong, since there's no apparent danger of problems of ambiguity. This is a courtesy advice before I do the deed. Any objection? Grimhim (talk)
Something about it needs to be a state capital to be without the state in the article name - look at Geelong, Victoria or the archives for it for more. Who knows why... Wongm (talk)
I have also somewhere heard a different story about how it got its name, that like some other Melbourne suburbs it was named after a ship. Of course that's nothing like enough backing to put that story in the article, but suppose one day it turned out to be true? The place and the ship might need to be disambiguated if "Victoria" was left off. .203.194.55.66 (talk)
I don't understand the first response and we'll cross the issue of a ship if it arises. In the meantime, we should stick by Wikipedia's article naming conventions at D, which doesn't require such qualifiers as "Victoria" when there is no other place called Dandenong. Grimhim (talk)
:I mentioned it on your talk page a bit - the naming conventions are one thing, but it somewhat easier to link to articles if they all have the same naming convention (already disambiguated) so you don't need to think as much. People like bitching about little things, and you end up bogged down in circular arguments - you just need to be in first rather than try to change what others 'say' is an agreement. Wongm (talk)
::Wongm has pointed out the naming convention at Naming conventions (settlements)#Australia, a guideline that would keep this page's title as it is. I'll leave it as is then. Grimhim (talk)
:::There was a proposal about 2 months ago now to change the convention, but it failed. As it stands every place name in Australia is disambiguated by state, which is useful in a broad sense and especially from a maintenance point of view. Orderinchaos

10,352,522 | Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology (SJIC) Bangalore, is a tertiary care autonomous institute run by the Government of Karnataka, in Bangalore. It presently has 1150 in-patient beds for cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery and pediatric cardiology, spread over two twin eight story buildings and is considered one of the largest dedicated heart hospitals in Asia. The new building which was commissioned in 2001, was built at a cost of 17 million dollars
Locations: It is located in 3 cities of Karnataka state.
Bannerghatta Road, Jayanagara 9th block, Bengaluru.
KRS Road,Kumbarakoppal, Mysuru.
GIMS Campus, Sedam Road, Kalaburagi.
==History==
The original building for SJIC was located in Victoria Hospital complex. Victoria Hospital (Bangalore Medical College), is the main teaching hospital of the Bangalore Medical College, which forms the only government run medical college in Bangalore. Bangalore Medical College The hospital moved to its new buildings at Bannerghatta Road in 2001.
===Building layout===
SJIC consist of twin eight story towers, with a separate facility for library and cathlabs. The emergency rooms are located in the basement with access from Bannerghatta road
===Out patient Departments===
The hospital caters to approximately 165,000 patients a year and both cardiology, cardiothoracic and pediatric cardiology OPDs run Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 4 pm. The average patient volume per day is around 1000-1200 opd visits.
===In Patient facilities===
There are more than 1150 in patient beds, spread over 8 floors of the two buildings most of them being in general wards and intensive care units and only a few in two private wards.
It is considered to be the best cardiology set up in India and Asia and the superspeciality training programme is considered to be one of the best in India at par with AIIMS cardiology.
==Intensive Care Units==
SJIC has 4 cardiac intensive care units. In total, the cardiology ICU bed numbers around 100 and are well equipped with individual ventilators, touch panel monitors, infusion pumps, powered beds and all necessary ancillary medical equipment.
==Echocardiography lab==
The echo lab is one of the busiest in the state with an average daily echo turnover of 160 trans-thoracic echocardiograms and 10 trans-esophageal echocardiograms. Each year around lakhs and lakhs echo is being done, the highest in India and Asia.
==Interventional work==
Average interventional cardiology workload ranges between 150 cases a day of which 700-800 cases per month are percutaneous coronary interventions, there are six Philips digital Cath labs, of which one is the only swing Cath lab in the region, enabling large case volumes and more efficient patient cath lab is dedicated Esp for electrophysiology and one for pediatric cardiology. SJIC interventional cardiology includes both adult and pediatric cardiology, and every form of interventional procedure, from primary angioplasty, to septal ablation (Sigwart procedure) is performed on a regular basis. It has the distinction of performing the highest number of percutaneous mitral valvlotomy procedures in the world for stenosis of the mitral valve. Pediatric cardiology in SJIC performs all standard pediatric interventional procedures, including percutaneous closure for Atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect and also the relatively rare procedure of percutaneous closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects.
The angioplasty work carried out in hospital is around 32000 per year the highest in India for a government set up. The institute boasts of the latest instruments and for most of the latest procedures in cardiology or Cath Lab, it is the pioneer in India.
==Post Graduate Programmes==
SJIC is the only government centre in the state of Karnataka to run post doctoral courses in cardiology and cardio-thoracic surgery. There are presently 21 seats for Doctorate in Medicine (DM) Cardiology and Master Chirurgiae (MCh) Cardio-thoracic surgery every year. These three-year courses are akin to the fellowship courses in cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery in other countries, and are entered to after a three year residency (MD/DNB) in either Medicine or Surgery, and are thus considered "Post Doctoral" courses or fellowships. These fellowships are much in demand partly in view of the fact that they are the only government sponsored courses in the state and also due to the high patient volume at SJIC which results in a higher degree of interventional experience after having completed the course, and, as such, are determined after an intensely contested all - India level examination conducted by the government of India. The patient load is one of the highest in India and so the choice of most of the post graduate doctorate trainees.
In 2008, the number of DM seats was increased to an unprecedented 21 per year and MCh seats to 12 per year, making it one of the largest Super-specialty training courses in India and Asia.
==Director==

==Dokhalah Festival==
The Dokhalah is a pottery pot with some seedling planted in (such as barley), children take care of at the beginning of Pilgrimage Month. When Eid Al Adha day comes, children throw them toward the sea while chanting "Dokhlti Haji " it is well known in Sanabes in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia. Recently, an annual festival is held in Sanabes known as the "Dokhalah Festival" which also highlights the regional culture and heritage. The Dokhalah is known in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf as well.
To describe it, Dokhalah is the name of handmade flowerpot. It made of palm tree vanes and take a cylindrical shape. It is in small size and very handy to 3–5 years old child. It is filled with sand and implants with barley seeds. It kept to germinating and growing till barley get 5 to 10 centimeter in height, then it became ready as Dokhalah.
Nowadays, it is introduced in very nice look and implants with flowers in addition to barley. Each children him/her self is taking care of their Dokhalah and irrigate it on daily basis till grow and takes its final good shape as flowerpot. This practice initiates a good relation and connection between the children and their Dokhalah, so it became beloved to them.
=== How did Dokhalah origin? ===
Dokhalah is an activity origin in Persian Gulf area since very long time ago. It became as the area’s custom and revive every year in tradition ceremony at Hajj Eid-Holiday. Dokhalah ceremonies started since more than 200 years ago by gathering the children in each neighborhood near the coast and start a special song for Dokhalah and at end they throw it to the sea water.
In the past, the pilgrims were travelling for long time in order to perform Hajj as no transportation means, and the parent forced to leave their children with their relatives for about 2–3 months. The Dokhalah began as pastime for the children to mitigate the impact of parent long travel to Hajj.
In Eid Al-Adha the pilgrims are doing one of the Hajj rituals which are called sacrifice by slaughter the goat (Qurban). The children were waiting their parents in very warm situation as this day is the sign of Hajj day toward the end and start back journey. So they are sharing their parents by doing another sacrifice which is throwing his very nice Dokhalah to sea water. Question may raise, why throwing it to the sea?, because it add value to the sea environment as fish eat the grass of Dokhalah.
The Dokhalah ceremony has nothing to do with the believes or any ritual religion, it is an expression about happiness of Eid Al-Adha’s advent and it is one of the most greatest holiday in Islam. Dokhalah event started during first day for Eid Al-Adha where Muslims performed their hajj at Makkah, so that, in the Dokhalah song each child solicit in.
Children are praying to Allah to give them opportunity to perform hajj when they became young and meet again with their parents, so that's the meaning of Dokhalah song. This is one way that their fathers taught them how to remember hajj and make objective to perform it as a major issue.
This practice was discontinued gradually due to life grown up and diminishing the down town life style. Also, the second generation has lost the interest to continue what they were gained from their old generation. In addition to that, the new generation did not attended celebration and nobody taught them about Dokhalah.
This tradition is also practiced in Kuwait and Bahrain. In Bahrain it is known as Hiyya Biyya. Research suggests that it very ancient, and may well predate the coming of Islam: see the reference by Holes below.
=== The first Dokhalah Festival ===
In 2004, very few people from the middle and old generations were interested and eager to reactivate not only Dokhalah events but other heritage in the area that related to their grandfathers’ life which includes skills, building style, and old traditional games (entertainments). They started the idea of reactivate Dokhalah ceremony and they succeeded in announcing and gathering children at the coast and done exactly what was practiced in the past. This event really ringed the bill to majority of people about Dokhalah. This start helped people to start talking to their children about Dokhalah history and the wheel started again.
In 2005, the idea was more crystallized and the event took different shape than in 2004. The year 2006 is synchronized with the establishment of Sanabes Central Social Committee which is an official committee followed to Qatif headquarters committee. All reports to Ministry of Society Affairs. Working under the Sanabes committee umbrellas gave chance to work comfortably through authorized work structure and facilitate the all license difficulties.
Working through past three years revealed that people like their heritage and demonstrated massive interest to participate in of Dokhalah Festival. Questionnaire, made the year of 2006 reveal that 100% of attendance agreed to continue this ceremony. This is great success and excellent start and more challenge for coming year, especially, when people know that Sanabes village now is the only which is doing such traditional event and focus is more this year to make another success. In 2007, people expected that most of near-by neighborhoods will participate in attending the Dokhalah Festival.
=== Dokhalah Festival Goals ===
The ultimate goals were achieved by having teamwork spirit and activate people skills and ability toward charity and social work. Other objectives from establishing such festival is to mitigate risk and road hazard of our citizen from travelling to very far distance during Eid holidays in order to get the entertainment for their families. Their place suffered from losing very young people (teenagers) during Eid Holidays where they subjected to vital road accidents. This festival if succeeded it will help in providing very near-by place where families not forced to cover long distance and rushing traffics and of course saving a lot of time.

In Anglican/Episcopal circles, a generic name for "any church" is "St Swithin's", or sometimes "St Swithin's in the Swamp," frequently stated to be a parish in the also generic "Diocese of Woppitysplash."
It can be assumed that the fictitious St Swithin's Hospital in the British comedy series Doctor in the House, as well as the other related comedies, is also named after this Saint, and he and his day are mentioned in a number of episodes of these different but connected television shows.
In Virginia Woolf's final novel, Between the Acts. a character called Mrs Swithin prays for sunshine whilst fingering a crucifix - unknowingly bearing the name of a rain-bearing saint.
In A Knight's Tale Wat is frustrated with "Sir" Ulrich losing on purpose (to prove his love to a woman) and asks "Why in the name of St. Swithin are we doing this?"
In The Dark Knight Rises, Gotham City's orphanage is named St. Swithin's.
In One Day (novel) by David Nicholls the two main characters recurringly meet on St Swithen's Day over a period of twenty years. The book's acknowledgments credit the Billy Bragg song with inspiration.
Bart, in The Simpsons, says: "All right, you're right, you're right, let's, let's just forget about that. Here: let me read to you from my play. Ahem. `Kippers for breakfast, Aunt Helga? Is it St. Swithin's Day already?' `'Tis,' replied Aunt Helga."

===Novels===
====Derik's Bane====
Starting out in the Wyndham Mansion, Werewolf Derik is ordered by his alpha, Michael Windham, to go to California and find the reincarnation of a powerful sorceress - Morgan LeFay, half sister of King Arthur - and stop her from what ever she is doing by "taking care" of her. Because if he doesn't, the world will end in six days. This prediction from psychic werewolf Antonia is a lucky diversion for Derik, who has recently become an alpha wolf, and would otherwise likely have gotten into a fight with Michael over alpha status in the Pack, a fight only one of them could have possibly survived.
Upon his arrival in Monterey, California, Derik discovers that the reincarnation of Morgan LeFay is a gorgeous but benign medical doctor named Sara Gunn, who has had a string of the most unlikely luck since the day she was born, but has no intention whatsoever to destroy the world. Derik, posing as car mechanic, tries to kill her but fails miserably several times, as do others, namely an odd group calling themselves Arthur's Chosen, whose goal is the resurrection of King Arthur. After realizing he can't possibly kill Sara, and convincing her that her string of luck is not pure coincidence, they team up and visit Doctor Cummings, Sara's mentor, who, as it turns out has known of Sara's predicament since before she was born and who points them towards the lair of the Arthur's Chosen in Salem, Massachusetts.
During the trip across the country, Michael tries and succeeds to cajole Sara - who is initially rather not very fond of Derik because he has tried to kill her, but adores his gorgeous body - into sleeping with him by means of several lies and half-truth. Over the next days during the trip, Sara falls under Derik's spell, and when he finally tells her that he has cheated her into sleeping with him, she rejects him at first, but shortly after, they confess their love to each other.
Upon arrival in Boston, Mass., they both put off seeking out the Arthur's Chosen, not wanting to end the trip and the romance that has developed between them. Sara however is captured by the Arthur's Chosen shortly after, brought to a warehouse and forced to give them some of her blood, which they need to resurrect King Arthur through Black Magic. Derek barges into the warehouse, after having been warned by Antonia that he will die if he enters the warehouse. The Arthur's Chosen release Sara after draining some of her blood and start working on the resurrection, which they can't finish however, because Derik and Sara interfere. The interrupted spell sets free a demon who immediately starts to kill everyone, and would - as Sara sees in a vision - have extinguished all life on earth. After the demon has killed all of the Arthur's Chosen, he severely wounds Derik, breaking his neck, but is attacked by Sara, who, in another nearly-impossible lucky event kills it by simply kicking it with her foot, thus saving the world.
Sara then tends to Derik, who is clinically dead, and tries to reanimate him with CPR. Within minutes, Derik is alive again, and almost completely healed due to his werewolf healing abilities and Sara's magic.
Having successfully saved the world, the couple returns to the Wyndham Mansion and is greeted by all Werewolves. After Dinner with Michael and his wife Jeannie, Derik proposes to Sara by simply answering Michael's question of what will happen next with "We will marry, and you will give us an RV so we can travel the country". Sara, initially reluctant because Derik did not ask her in private first, eventually accepts the proposal. This ends Derik's struggle to prove his alpha status, because he is now married to the most powerful sorceress in the world, more or less cementing his status for everyone to see. It is then also revealed by Antonia that by "taking care" of Sara, she didn't mean "kill", but literally "keep safe", and that Derik was fated to Save the world not by killing Sara but by loving her, and that she couldn't tell him before or he would have screwed it up.

43,369,381 | Joseph Barry (born 1940) is an American real estate developer and co-founder of the Applied Housing Companies and founder of the Hudson Reporter newspaper chain.
==Early life==
Joseph Barry was born in 1940 to a Jewish family in New Jersey and raised in Newark, the son of Marion and Walter Barry. His father was a union organizer for the United Electrical Workers who started to develop low income housing in Newark after the 1967 Newark riots. Barry earned a B.A. In English from Rutgers University and graduated first in his class from Rutgers Law School.
==Career==
Barry served as a clerk to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In the 1960s, he was associated with the left-wing Students for Democratic Society. In 1970, Barry and his father founded the Applied Housing Company. In 1971, Hoboken designated Applied Housing as their exclusive developer of Section 8 housing tasked with rehabilitating deteriorated buildings into affordable housing. Applied focused on renovating the existing housing stock rather than clearance and rebuild; they also believed in careful maintenance and management thereafter to preserve the stock. During the 1970s, Applied built and renovated thousands of units of affordable housing throughout New Jersey with a concentration in Hoboken, North Bergen, and Bayonne. The firm was given a great deal of credit for Hoboken's rebirth. In 1979, his father retired and Joseph Barry became president. He re-focused the company on constructing market-rate and luxury housing with a particular concentration on the Hoboken and Jersey City waterfronts including the $150 million, 1,160-unit Shipyard Development Project on Hoboken's waterfront; the 1,650 unit waterfront condominium community Port Liberté in Jersey City; and the 42-story luxury Palisades rental residence in Fort Lee, New Jersey. In 2001, Barry pleaded guilty to making five cash payments totaling $114,900 to former County Executive Robert Janiszewski to secure state and federal funding for the Shipyard project. Barry resigned from Applied Housing and handed the management of the now $108 million in sales company over to his two sons. Admitting guilt, Barry stated: "I made a terrible mistake. I take responsibility for it, and will get on with my life." Barry was sentenced to 25 months in federal prison, ordered to make $1 million in restitution payments, and fined $20,000. By 2004, Applied was the largest developer in Hoboken.
In 1983, Barry also founded the Hudson Reporter newspaper chain. He established Reporter newspapers in six other Hudson County towns: Jersey City, Weehawken, Secaucus, Union City, West New York and North Bergen. In 1999, he sold his share in the chain to minority partners and co-publishers David Unger and Lucha Malato. Despite being semi-retired, Barry remains committed to the urban redevelopment volunteering his time via his LinX Redevelopment company to rebuilding New Jersey's run-down cities with his latest focus on Passaic, New Jersey.
==Personal life==
Barry is married to Gail H. Barry and lives in Peapack-Gladstone. They have three children: David Barry, Michael Barry, and Lisa Barry Fleisher who continue to run the company and its sister company, the Ironstate Development Company. His son David is married to Kyra Tirana Barry, Team Leader for the U.S. Woman's Wrestling Team that competed in the 2016 Olympic Games.

– (View AfD)(View log)
I believe that this is an non-notable aspect of an notable game. Perhaps we can cut down the content and place it in another article and delete this. There were at least two times in this article's history where it was tagged for notability. Marlith T/C
Agree with nom, though relevant information could have simply been salvaged and the empty page then housekeeping speedied. User:Dorftrottel 05:14, January 22, 2008
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Game-related deletions.
Delete — and I have restored the notability tagging. This is unsourced and likely original research. Delete as non-notable after plenty of attempts to get it cleaned-up.
When 100's of articles are tagged in a few months (and more than 100 in the last 2 weeks), its pretty hard to keep up! Hobit (talk)
Delete. Wikipedia is not a game guide. Percy Snoodle (talk)
Just so I know, which of these are you claiming this article is: 1. Instruction manual. 2. Travel guide. 3. Internet guide. 4. Textbooks and annotated text? If it's #1 what instructions is it giving? Hobit (talk)
If you want to see what a game guide looks like then try Ruy lopez. That gets a pass because it's about chess rather than D&D. That's just intellectual snobbery mixed with a witch-hunt. Colonel Warden (talk)
Comment: Did some looking around. This article can be improved, though I at least won't get to it until Saturday. darn job. Hobit (talk)
Comment. The published game materials should count as references; and as such, some brief mention of this variety of dinosaur could profitably be added to cultural depictions of dinosaurs. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk)
Keep, or Merge and Redirect to Creature type (Dungeons & Dragons)#Animal. BOZ (talk)
Redirect to the creature type one BOZ mentioned. There's no way to improve this article. No matter what you do, it'll still be a short stubby thing about how you can kill dinosaurs when you play a game of D&D. If someone specifically comes looking for it, with the disambiguation and everything, sure, leave this as a redirect for those people. Howa0082 (talk)
Merge and Redirect per BOZ. A little of this information, re-written in a more formal tone, and referenced, will improve the Creature type (Dungeons & Dragons) article IMO. BreathingMeat (talk)
Merge and Redirect not a large enough creature sub-type in D&D to warrant it's own article but some of this one can be salvaged and mentioned in the main D&D creatures article - Dumelow (talk)
Comment I've got the following sources. (which I will add later)
Goodman Games: Broncosaurus Rex. A d20 campaign setting set in an alternate future with civil war timeline divergence and dinosaurs on a frontier wild west type planet. Based off D&D with new classes and a bunch of dinosaurs.
Goodman Games: Dinosaurs that Never Were. A sourcebook of new dinosaurs for Broncosaurous Rex.
Note the above two are d20 references, not D&D references per se, but as a close relative, probably belong.
Goodman Games: Complete Guide to Tyrannosaurus Rex. A sourcebook on T-Rex's in D&D including growing huge and becoming psionically active.
Goodman Games: Complete Guide to Velociraptors. A sourcebook on Velociraptors in D&D. Including playing them as PCs without fully opposable thumbs and a shaman type class for them.
TSR: Module The Bane of Llywelyn Major opponents in this adventure are dinosaur riding amazons (see cover on link)
WoTC: Eberron Campaign setting
TSR: Monster Manual 1st through 3rd editions.
There are many more, but I think that's a good start. Hobit (talk)
And to be clear, all of the above are books. There are also likely to be a dozen or more magazine articles on this. Hobit (talk)
There have been several throughout Dragon's history, FWIW. Plus Dinosaurs featured heavily in a number of Forgotten Realms, Eberron, etc modules and sourcebooks. BOZ (talk)
Beyond the Forbidden Plateau - A module within the Planes of Conflict Box set features dinosaurs quite heavily. The namesake location of the adventure was also linked to the divine domain of Ubtao from FR, who was himself heavily associated with dinosaurs.
Comment The content of these books will yield only non-notable detail for addition to the article IMO. I just don't think this subject warrants an article by itself. My vote remains Merge per BOZ. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BreathingMeat (talk • contribs)
Merge and Redirect That's my vote for the moment. However I might be willing to change it to keep depending on the level of changes anyone feels capable of making to it content and/or (talk)
Keep Based on the revisions made to the article, I'm satisfied changing my vote to (talk)
Merge - Peregrine Fisher (talk)
Delete I agree with the nomination. Every version of the D&D game had versions of dinosaurs, but I don't think that is a notable point to them. Slavlin (talk)
Comment Just did a re-write of the article. It's not as good as I'd like, but I've spent all the time I can on it. If you get a chance, please take a look at it. Hobit (talk)
Its pretty good. Marlith T/C
Well, you are welcome to withdraw the AfD :-) Hobit (talk)
Personally now I am leaning to merge and redirect. Marlith T/C
Delete - Sorry Hobit, I don't think we should be keeping this. My issue is thus; what's the likelihood that someone would come to Wikipedia specifically for information about dinosaurs in D&D? I think it very unlikely (if they don't want unit data/stats, which we don't do), and thus see no real need in keeping this. Dihydrogen Monoxide (party)
That's not a valid reason to delete, and I think it a little silly to assume that an article several people have worked on would be an article that no one wants to read. Personally, I think the subject of where and how dinosaurs have been used in the 30-year, thousand book history of D&D to be interesting, without unit stats, whatever the hell those are.
Delete I agree, this article fails NOT#GUIDE. Although this article has got secondary sources, it has none that demonstrate the notability of a single dinosaur in the Dungeons & Dragons canon. As the article itself says, "Some of the dinosaurs used in D& real ones which used to exist on earth". No wonder, as real dinosaurs have notability and the argument that D&D ones have inherited this notability is unproven.
Delete Dinosaurs aren't a notable creature in dnd, although they do have some impact on certian settings such as Eberron this could easily be covered in other articles. I don't feel they are a significant enough monster to warrant thier own page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pookakitty (talk • contribs)
Comment As I understand it, if something meets the requirements of N it is notable. I think thats been done here. Votes after the revision seem like variations of IDONTLIKEIT to me. I mean two whole books have been written on the topic, a large number of magazine articles, and (per the article) the topic has been a significant part of D&D since nearly the beginning and continue into this century. Hobit (talk)
Comment it's not clear that enough of the sources are independent of the topic to pass N. Most of the refs are TSR/WotC, and the WWOG ref on its own isn't enough. It looks to me like the goodman guides are primary sources, so they don't count either; but perhaps someone could demonstrate otherwise? Percy Snoodle (talk)
Would it still count as a primary source as a third party publisher though? BOZ (talk)
It's unclear. It depends whether you think the thing they have to be independent of is D&D, or Dinosaurs within D&D. They probably are independent of D&D, because they're not TSR/WotC; but they're probably not independent of Dinosaurs-in-D&D because they're publishers of books on that topic. I think that because this AFD is about Dinosaurs-in-D&D we have to look at it the second way. Percy Snoodle (talk)
Wait? So now do we have to have books not on chess to prove the notability of chess? That standard is absurd.
No, we need to have books written by people who don't sell chess sets. Percy Snoodle (talk)
None of these people sell all the physical tools needed to play D&D. They just sell books. None of them sell dice, and only WotC sells miniatures.
In the case of D&D, the books *are* the physical tools needed to play. Percy Snoodle (talk)
No, they're not. You no more need the books at the table then the rules for chess, but unlike chess, which in theory can be played without any physical implements, you do need a neutral randomizer
On the contrary; in many ways the rulebooks are the game - and not all RPGs have randomisers nor miniatures. You say that applying the standards would make "virtually no book on a roleplaying game independent", but you don't draw a distinction between sourcebooks (which modify a game) and books which merely describe the game. Sourcebooks aren't independent sources for the creatures they describe, in the same way that a book of chess variants isn't an independent source on the topic of those variants. However, a book on the history of role-playing games could be independent in the same way that a book on the history of chess can be. From Independent sources: "An independent source is a source which describes a topic from a disinterested perspective." If an author wants players to include their material in their game, that's not a disinterested perspective, so a sourcebook isn't independent of its topic, whereas a review or history doesn't seek to alter an existing game but rather to inform third parties about a topic. That's the sort of coverage you need to meet WP:N. Percy Snoodle (talk)
Not all RPGs use randomizers or miniatures, and those that don't have no physical components. This one, however, does. The rulebooks are no more the game then the rulebook in chess is the game. Is there any source for Hoyle not being an independent source for Wikipedia, or is it something you made up.
Keep per my above arguments. Hobit (talk)
Keep; we have independent sources here.
Keep: Referenced and as notable as any other type of D&D monster; maybe even more notable, since its only one short article for the entire class of creatures rather than one article per monster. Their use in Eberron was particularly notable—I remember that when Eberron was first previewed by WOTC, many gaming news sources picked up on the "halflings on dinosaurs" angle and used it to represent all of what Eberron is about. I'm sure with a little digging, I can find some reference to that controversy...
Comment a second independent source would establish notability - could you give any more details? If not, there isn't enough to meet WP:N. Percy Snoodle (talk)

10,352,532 | Peter 'The Man in the Cap' McDermott (1 February 1918 – 11 October 2011) was an inter-county Gaelic footballer for County Meath during the 1940s and 1950s. During his playing career he won 2 Senior All-Ireland medals (1949 & as captain in 1954) as well as 6 Leinster medals. He played in 4 All-Ireland Finals.
Peter McDermott had the unusual distinction of participation in five All-Ireland final matches in the four years between 1951 and 1954. He played in the 1951, 52 (draw and replay) and 54 finals and refereed the 1953 final. He is also the only man to referee an All-Ireland final both before and after winning one.
In the 1960s, he was coach on the Meath team and held this position when Meath won the All-Ireland title in 1967.
He is jointly credited with starting the International Compromise Rules Series. McDermott collaborated with Harry Beitzel of Australia to arrange a two-match tour by an Australian Rules side, which played (and defeated) reigning All-Ireland Champions Meath at Croke Park in October 1967 under Gaelic football rules. When the International series started formally in 1984 Peter was manager of the Irish Team.
In recognition of his skills and long-running contribution to the sport, McDermott was awarded the 1989 All-Time All Star Award as no All Stars Awards were being issued at the time of his playing career.

Amongst other holdings, as of 2008, the CDIC owned Canada Hibernia Holding Corporation (8.5% interest in the Hibernia oil field) and Canada Eldor Inc. (no operations). In 2009, the corporation also, through its subsidiary 7176384 Canada Inc., purchased 7.9% of General Motors.

Delete as I don't see any reason for this to be notable. The company still seems to be in its early VC-funded stage. The product doesn't have a wide userbase and doesn't seem to be notable.

15,357,902 | Ouvrage Laudrefang is a lesser work (petit ouvrage) of the Maginot Line. Located in the Fortified Sector of Faulquemont, the ouvrage consists of one infantry block, and is located between petits ouvrages Einseling and Teting, facing Germany. Laudrefang was originally planned as a gros ouvrage. With a heavy armament for a petit ouvrage it successfully defended its neighbors against German attack during the Battle of France. Laudrefang is abandoned and flooded, and was heavily damaged by German bombardment in 1940.
== Design and construction ==
The site was surveyed by CORF (Commission d'Organisation des Régions Fortifiées), the Maginot Line's design and construction agency, and was approved for construction in August 1931. It was completed at a cost of 24 million francs by the contractor Générale des Travaux Publics. The petit ouvrage was originally planned as a gros ouvrage with fourteen blocks The project was scaled back, and Block 3 was not connected to the main ouvrage. A second phase was to connect it, and to provide a separate entrance block. Even as a petit ouvrage it mounted the heaviest armament in its sector, with 81mm mortars.
== Description ==
Laudrefang comprises five infantry blocks. Blocks 1, 2 4 and 5 are linked by deep underground galleries, which also provide space for barracks, utilities and ammunition storage. The galleries are excavated at an average depth of up to .
Block 1: Infantry block with two automatic rifle cloches (GFM), one twin machine gun embrasure (JM), two 81mm mortar embrasures and one machine gun/anti-tank gun embrasure (JM/AC47). The two-level block was heavily damaged by German shellfire.
Block 2: Infantry block with two GFM cloches and one retractable twin machine gun turret.
Block 3: Infantry block with two GFM cloches, one retractable twin machine gun turret, one twin machine gun embrasure, two 81mm mortar embrasures and one JM/AC47 anti-tank gun embrasure. The mortars are on a lower level, firing out of the ditch in front of the embrasures.
Block 4: Infantry/emergency exit block with two GFM cloches and one grenade launcher cloche (LG).
Block 5: Infantry block with one GFM cloche and one observation cloche (VDP). The block and cloches show the marks of German attack.
The unbuilt blocks of the gros ouvrage would have included separate personnel and munitions entries, two 75mm gun turrets and a 135mm gun turret.
=== Casemates and shelters ===
In addition to the connected combat blocks, a series of detached casemates and infantry shelters surround Laudrefang, including
Casemate des Quatre-Vents Nord: Armored block with one mortar cloche and one mortar cloche modified to AM standard.
Casemate des Quatre-Vents Sud: SIngle block with one JM/AC47 embrasure, one JM embrasure, one GFM-A cloche and one GFM-A/B cloche.
== Manning ==
The 1940 manning of the ouvrage under the command of Captain Gustave Cattiaux comprised 267 men and 8 officers of the 156th Fortress Infantry Regiment. The units were under the umbrella of both the 3rd and 4th Armies, Army Group 2. The Casernement de Zimming provided peacetime above-ground barracks and support services to Laudrefang and other positions in the area.
== History ==
See Fortified Sector of Faulquemont for a broader discussion of the Faulquemont sector of the Maginot Line.
Following the 15 June 1940 breakthrough by German forces through the Saar gap, the Germans advanced along the rear of the Maginot Line. The German 167th Infantry Division approached Kerfent, Bambesch, Einseling and Téting on 19 June. On 21 June 1940 Laudrefang supported neighboring ouvrages Einseling and Teting as they came under attack with an estimated 5000 81mm mortar rounds. The covering fire prevented the Germans from taking either. The German infantry attacks were suspended in favor of an artillery barrage at Laudrefang, firing between 3000 and 3500 rounds at the ouvrage. Compared to other German attacks on other ouvrages, the bombardment of Laudrefang was relatively ineffectual. While the concrete structure was badly damaged, it was not perforated, and the mortar turrets and cloches were not hit. The ouvrage survived until the Second Armistice at Compiègne took effect on 25 June, when it surrendered. The machine gun turret at Block 3 was used for testing of shaped-charge munitions.
After World War II, Laudrefang was in poor condition and was not chosen for renovation.
== Current condition ==
The lower levels of Laudrefang are flooded by groundwater, and the entire ouvrage is abandoned.

31,460,140 | is a former Japanese castle located in Nagoya.
== History ==
It was originally outside the city of Nagoya in the countryside of the Owari Province. Lord Oda Nobuhide (1508-1549) built this castle in 1548. The following year, his third son Oda Nobuyuki (d. 1557) became the castle's lord, but was defeated at the Battle of Inogahara, where he fought against his older brother Oda Nobunaga (1534-1582). It is assumed that the castle was subsequently abandoned in 1559 and fell into ruins. A stone stelae marks the site of the castle.
The area today is overgrown with trees. Located on the premises is the Shiroyama Hachiman-gū.
The closest station by public transport is Motoyama Station on the Higashiyama Line and Meijo Line.
