what context does ""enlargement of government power"" belong here?
It does not belong. Progressives do not wish to enlarge government power for the sake of enlarging government power. Progressives believe that modern society needs government intervention to ensure fair play, e.g. government regulation, and to protect the citizens, e.g. universal health care. Beck believes these are fringe views, but I do not. TFD seems to believe that believing in Progressive values is fringe, but he would be on Beck's side with side with that.
""You have taken the quote out of context and the source is a high school textbook,""
It is from Brittanica, and here is the full quote:
Origins of progressivism
Never were superficial signs more deceiving. Actually, the United States already was in the first stages of what historians came to call the Progressive movement. Generally speaking, progressivism was the response of various groups to problems raised by the rapid industrialization and urbanization that followed the Civil War. These problems included the spread of slums and poverty; the exploitation of labour; the breakdown of democratic government in the cities and states caused by the emergence of political organizations, or machines, allied with business interests; and a rapid movement toward financial and industrial concentration. Many Americans feared that their historic traditions of responsible democratic government and free economic opportunity for all were being destroyed by gigantic combinations of economic and political power.
Actually there was not, either in the 1890s or later, any single Progressive movement. The numerous movements for reform on the local, state, and national levels were too diverse, and sometimes too mutually antagonistic, ever to coalesce into a national crusade. But they were generally motivated by common assumptions and goals—e.g., the repudiation of individualism and laissez-faire, concern for the underprivileged and downtrodden, the control of government by the rank and file, and the enlargement of governmental power in order to bring industry and finance under a measure of popular control.
This is very non-ambiguous
This is an article from Center for American Progress the biggest Progressive group in America, and in it it describes in detail the origins of the progressive movement and it's continuance today.
""What is progressivism?
Progressivism at its core is grounded in the idea of progress—moving beyond the status quo to more equal and just social conditions consistent with original American democratic principles such as freedom, equality, and the common good. Progressivism as an intellectual movement emerged between 1890 and 1920 as a response to the multitude of problems associated with the industrialization of the U.S. economy—frequent economic depressions, political corruption, rising poverty, low wages, poor working conditions, tenement living, child labor, lack of collective bargaining power, unsafe consumer products, and the misuse of natural resources.
""As a philosophical tradition, progressivism in its most complete form developed as a “new liberalism” for a new century—updating the American liberal tradition from its Jeffersonian, small-government, republican roots best suited for the agrarian economy of the nation’s founding era to a more democratic and modern liberalism capable of checking rising corporate power. The original progressives argued that changes in the economy’s organization required a more complete understanding of human freedom, equality, and opportunity that Jefferson championed so persuasively. Progressives believed that formal legal freedom alone—the negative protections against government intrusions on personal liberty—were not enough to provide the effective freedom necessary for citizens to fulfill their human potential in an age of rising inequality, paltry wages, and labor abuses. Changed conditions demanded a changed defense of human liberty.""
With the rise of the contemporary progressive movement and the election of President Barack Obama in 2008, there is extensive public interest in better understanding the origins, values, and intellectual strands of progressivism. Who were the original progressive thinkers and activists? Where did their ideas come from and what motivated their beliefs and actions? What were their main goals for society and government? How did their ideas influence or diverge from alternative social doctrines? How do their ideas and beliefs relate to contemporary progressivism?

Re: Cricket stuff
Actually, I've never tried to make a bowling graph. I'm just not sure how I would best go about it. Obviously the wickets would be easy to do, but I'm not sure how to work the bowling average into the graph. Doing it just like the batting graphs wouldn't look all that great, as a bowler can of course never take more than 10 wickets in an innings but the bowling average might frequently be up around 30 or more. I don't know how I could get that looking good, but I'm happy to fiddle around and see if I can come up with something.

== In theaters in 1953 & on TV in 1955 wrong ==
The intro states, ""It was released to theaters in 1953 and on television on 1955."" Unfortunately, this is not possible, or at least was a violation of industry regulations at the time. The proof is the history of TV's Adventures of Superman. The entire first season of 26 episodes (with Phyllis Coates instead of Noel Neill as Lois Lane) was in effect the pilot, being produced ""on spec"" and with no guarantee of getting on the air. To both promote the project and help defray costs if it did not sell, the producers began filming with a two-part episode, ""Unknown People,"" which they quickly released to theaters as a Saturday matinee feature, Superman and the Mole Men. Once a deal with Kellogg's got them an on-air committment, the producers discovered that they fell afoul of a regulation that prohibited anything made for and released to theaters after 1948 from being shown on television. Consequently, ""Unknown People"" parts 1 & 2 were not televised until about 1960, when this rule was repealed and the series was released into general rerun syndication. This same rule means that the subject of this article could—or at least should—not have been shown on television in 1955 after a 1953 theatrical run. The other way around, maybe, but this has to be wrong. I know that neither linked-in article mentions this, and the one for the series even contradicts it, but Film Fax magazine published a three-part article c.2000 that went into great detail on the development and first season production, and reported this in no uncertain terms. Note also that List of Adventures of Superman episodes gives ""November 23, 1951"" as the original airdate for both parts (the article on the feature gives this as the date of its theatrical opening), even though the series didn't get on the air until September 1952. IMDb does the exact same thing, while TV.com almost does, giving the date of both parts as December 18, 1951, and making minimal acknowledgement of the feature film version. When combined, the three essentially corroborate a lack of genuine original airdate (for the purposes of this discussion only, of course). So I repeat, Commando Cody would have been in violation of industry regulations had it played on TV in 1955 after a 1953 theatrical run. Did Republic honcho Herbert Yates break the rules and get away with it, which if true is notable and should be pointed out, or does this article contain misinformation? " | toxic | en |

Dan Gillmor: State needs intelligent energy deregulation
By Dan Gillmor
Mercury News Technology Columnist
The facts were trade and government secrets at the time. But the energy
industry failed the smell test in 2000 and 2001 as it tried to justify
soaring wholesale electricity and natural-gas prices in California.
Now, as investigators and regulators unravel the reasons for a financial
and fiscal mess we'll be cleaning up for decades, we're learning what
everyone suspected. Market games helped engineer the price spikes.
The latest manipulation was highlighted in Monday's finding by a federal
administrative law judge, who said a dominant natural-gas company squeezed
supplies in order to squeeze customers. His ruling came a few days after
California's Public Utilities Commission reported that electricity
generators mysteriously failed to use available capacity during the crunch,
also driving up prices.
And don't forget the sleazy games by energy traders who gleefully worked
the system, in schemes best summed up by an Enron insider's boast in a
memorandum made public in May, that ``Enron gets paid for moving energy to
relieve congestion without actually moving any energy or relieving any
congestion.''
How much of this was illegal, as opposed to simply amoral, remains to be
seen. Unfortunately, California's response -- confusion, lawsuits and
policy tweaks -- hasn't been sufficient.
More unfortunately, even if the state suddenly did all the right things --
including a hard-nosed program designed to free ourselves from the gougers'
grips -- we would need a willing federal partner. But it's foolish to think
that the Bush administration would do much to help one of its least
favorite states, or do anything that conflicts with its love of
traditional, non-renewable energy sources.
If the lawsuits against various energy companies and traders bear any
fruit, the best we can expect is to pay off some of the massive debts the
state amassed to prevent a total collapse in early 2001. That's a
reasonable approach, but don't expect miracles.
State policies are moving the wrong way on utility regulation, meanwhile.
Instead of relentlessly pursuing smart deregulation -- still a good idea if
it gives customers genuine choices -- state laws and regulations ``put the
utilities back in the business of buying energy for captive customers,''
notes V. John White, executive director of the Sacramento-based Center for
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Technologies (www.ceert.org).
It's tempting to call for an outright state takeover of the utilities --
tempting but a bad idea. When there's genuine competition, as we could
achieve in electricity generation, the private sector tends to do a better
job. Instead of abandoning deregulation, California should find a way to
inject real competition into the market.
We do need to recognize that the current system of delivering electricity
defies privatization, at least under current conditions. Smart regulation
is essential.
But the best response to gouging is to use less of what the gougers
control. There are two ways: conservation and replacement. We need more of
both.
The best recent step is a new state law that slowly but surely ratchets up
the use of electricity from renewables. By 2017, California's utilities
will have to get 20 percent of their power from solar and other renewable
sources. Several power companies are expected to do this even sooner.
But this law has an element of old-line thinking, the captive-customer
model we need to be getting away from, not sustaining. Lip service to newer
ideas isn't enough.
The state should be removing barriers to micro-generation systems, small
generators that can run on a variety of fuels and provide decentralized,
harder-to-disrupt electricity to homes and businesses. This technology is
coming along fast. State policies are not keeping pace.
Investing to save energy is increasingly the smartest move of all.
California should be doing more to encourage this, whether through tax
incentives or outright grants in low-income households. California hasn't
done badly on conservation in a general sense, and energy customers did
react to last year's soaring rates and blackouts by cutting back, but it's
lunacy to wait for the next crisis when we can do something to avoid it
altogether.
Maybe this is all pointless. The Bush administration's energy policies, so
grossly tilted toward the unholy trinity of oil, coal and nuclear, are
making us all more vulnerable. Never mind what might happen if the coming
war in Iraq goes badly.
It's pointless to hope for a sane federal policy -- a crash program to
drastically speed the inevitable transition to a hydrogen-based energy
system. But the largest state, one of the world's major economies in its
own right, does have some clout. We can hit the rip-off artists where it
hurts, and protect ourselves from even more serious disruptions. Maybe next
year.

The original RoC article (this) was written as such until the 1912-1949 article was created and everything pre-1949 was ported there (without extreme controversy). When this article was renamed as 'Taiwan' from 'Republic of China', the original stance by the admins was that this article was to talk about the Republic of China as a whole, with only the title to be renamed as 'Taiwan'. However, some people jumped ship and created the (mainland RoC) article and ported everything there. Creating another 'RoC as a whole' article will be very controversial, and to be honest, people are tired of arguing for this and that. You can try to write one, but you will see a lot of hate coming from most of the community (Greens will argue RoC = Taiwan, Reds will argue RoC = dead, Blues are just not there anymore to back you up)204.126.132.241 | toxic | en |

I am the one who is making these edits. Please stop changing them. I have done proper research. If you compare the specs of the following ships:
from the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force and the from the Republic of Korea Navy.
The reason these ships are more like cruisers than destroyers is their difference in size and strength when compared to destroyers from other countries. You may be right with the Sejong the Great-class, but the Atago-class is more easily compared to the United State's cruiser than other destroyer classes. That is a fact and the Atago-class was labeled as a cruiser on this website for a time being that was not done by me.
If you want proof, read the articles of each ship and you will see them mentioned as such. The same goes for the European ships. For some reason, a lot of European countries under classify what they really have. All those European ""frigates"" are really ""destroyers"" by terms of size and strength. Just read the articles for each and they're even mentioned as destroyers by the international community.

The status quo version is plenty good enough for anyone who doesn't have an axe to grind, time on their hands, and loves a fight more than creating a great encyclopedia. Wikipedia is about making a great encyclopedia, and anyone whose efforts clearly hinder or handicap that goal can find themselves dealt with accordingly. Rex can and will pursue his goals whatever they may be (and I can't claim to know them), but rest assured everyone ELSE will also pursue THEIR goals. Expect no less. I could go into arguements about what exact phrase is better and which is worse, but wikipedia is subject to constant editing and no version is ever final, thus anyone arguing ad nauseum for some perfect or trivially better version is just wasting everyone's time. | toxic | en |

hi louise ,

i ' m preparing the agenda for enron ' s annual management conference again this year . i was hoping i could ask for your insight as i ' m compiling the program .
this year ' s conference theme plays off of our new vision , " becoming the world ' s leading company . " however , the feeling at enron is quite different this year because of the depressed stock price , california , india , broadband , etc . i ' d welcome your thoughts on what the tone for the conference should be , i . e . subdued optimism , reenergizing , etc .
on a related subject , ken lay and jeff skilling will both have an hour on the agenda to speak . this is in response to feedback from employees saying they want to hear more from each of them . afterall , they are both top notch industry speakers . rather than have them give a current " state of the company " address , i intend to have them focus on bigger company , industry or market topics . i ' d love your thoughts on this as well . ( i believe jeff needs to lay out a plan for achieving our vision , and as an economist , ken could give valuable insight into what ' s happening in the market . )
finally , i ' d welcome any ideas for an outside corporate speaker . i ' d very much like to have someone from a corporation that 1 . ) enron people admire ; and 2 . ) has undergone some difficult period in their company ' s history . jeff personally extended an invitation to steve ballmer from microsoft , but he is unable to attend . is there someone you think would be interesting ?

:Before the establishment of diplomatic relations with Israel, there were no ""relations of a special nature"" such as now exist with Russia, with a nuncio in Moscow who is not a full member of the diplomatic corps and a Russian ambassador sent to the Holy See without being a full member of the diplomatic corps accredited to the Holy See. An apostolic delegation - you can read towards the end of the ""Terminology and History"" section of the Nuncio article about what an apostolic delegation is - was set up for ""Jerusalem and Palestine"" on 11 February 1948. It still exists. It obviously was not set up specifically for relations with Israel. At one point of time, before diplomatic relations with Israel were set up, there was a campaign in the United States to get people to write to the Pope to complain that the Holy See did not recognize Israel. That claim was of course baseless. The Holy See recognized Israel, for instance by receiving in official visits Israeli prime ministers, without having diplomatic relations with the state. The situation was exactly as it is now between the Holy See and, for instance, Saudi Arabia. " | toxic | en |

Ok, looking through that, it looks like they thought you G10-tagged articles with both good and bad content.

Ralf Reski may meet the criteria, but if he does, there is no evidence of that in the article. If he indeed does meet the criteria, please add the evidence for this to the article. While it is true that these are just guidelines, and that exceptions may exist where the person is notable in spite of not meeting any criterion, the case for notability nevertheless needs to be made. I’m not trying to prove that he isn’t notable, I’m trying to determine if he is.
As far as I can see, the criteria are not met:
1. The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.
I’m not a fan of citation metrics, and they’re not the final word, but the h-index is 30, which is pretty average. The most cited paper does have over 300 citations, but that’s the moss genome sequence, where he’s one of many authors. Genome sequences always get lots of citations.
2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.
This may be true, but the article does not mention it. I don’t think a Heisenberg fellowship counts as ‘highly prestigious.
3. The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g. a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a Fellow of a major scholarly society for which that is a highly selective honor (e.g. the IEEE).
Again this may be true, but isn’t mentioned in the article.
4. The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions.
No major textbooks or other examples of this are given in the article.
5. The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or ""Distinguished Professor"" appointment at a major institution of higher education and research.
No evidence for this is given in the article.
6. The person has held a major highest-level elected or appointed academic post at a major academic institution or major academic society.
From what I can see in the article, the highest position he has held was dean of the Faculty of Biology.
7 The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.
No evidence for this given in the article.
8. The person is or has been the head or chief editor of a major well-established academic journal in their subject area.
Only normal editorial board memberships given in the article.
9. The person is in a field of literature (e.g writer or poet) or the fine arts (e.g. musician, composer, artist), and meets the standards for notability in that art, such as WP:CREATIVE or WP:MUSIC.
Does not apply.
If you can show that the criteria are met after all, I’m happy to go along with it, but just being a professor does not satisfy WP:PROF. Cheers! " | toxic | en |

The claim that “brother” (a·del·phos′) here means “cousin” (a·ne·psi·os′) is a theoretical contention, the invention of which is credited to Jerome, and dates back no earlier than 383 C.E.
Not only does Jerome fail to cite any support for his newborn hypothesis but in later writings he wavers in his opinions and even expresses misgivings about his “cousin theory.” J. B. Lightfoot states that “St Jerome pleaded no traditional authority for his theory, and that therefore the evidence in its favour is to be sought in Scripture alone. I have examined the scriptural evidence, and the . . . combination of difficulties . . . more than counterbalances these secondary arguments in its favour, and in fact must lead to its rejection.”—St. Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians, London, 1874, p. 258. | toxic | en |

Actually, fibromyalgia is not a syndrome per se. Fibromyalgia Syndrome is a syndrome. The primary document for the classification of fibromyalgia upon wch the de facto diagnostic criteria are derived states there are two defining criteria, i.e. chronic widespread pain and pain on palpation. The comorbid symptoms that characterize the syndrome are not part of the classification of FM per se. Perhaps you should consider starting a new WP article on FM syndrome where you would be able to input all your pseudo-editorial dross and take all your asinine MUPS/MUS crusading with you. 71.212.10.108 | toxic | en |

I don't think any of the ""personal attacks"" are very serious - they reflect my genuine belief as to the motivation and tactics of Domer48 and are borne out of frustration at the stranglehold he has achieved on several articles, where he is able to act as ""guardian"" and cleverly revert all edits with which he disagrees while adeptly staying within the letter of various WP guidelines. Sure, I'm not as clever as him, and equally it is not in my nature to ""tell the teacher"", and therefore end up with punishments such as this. " | toxic | en |

Your claim to an Oxford degree, no I'm sorry, two Oxford degrees - one in Political Science and the other in International Relations is contradicted first by your exchange with the original poster that corrected you on your calling the EU an NGO:
the EU is not a single nation, nor is the UN or UAE. They are actually something called NGO's, or non-governmental organizations. ... we do not link flags to NGO's. -
The EU is nothing BUT a governmental organization. Its purpose is to politically unite the countries within the European Community. it does not 'act on behalf' of any single state; it is a united entity. Ditto the UAE.. Kapowow
Are you seriously trying to suggest that the EU is not an NGO? ... If you consider me throwing my political science and international relations degrees at you to be derogatory, then I have to say that I am sorry you feel that way. I am not a potted plant; I know the policies of which I speak, ... -

It lacks all credence after this ""original"" claim that somehow the word ""Penultimate's"" meaning had ""evolved"":
Regarding the 'penultimate' stuff - not worries - as I said, it's just a word. I always thought is was used as next to the end, as in right before the ending. A slightly different meaning has become popular, like how the original phrase ""buck naked"" (meaning, naked as a male deer) becoming mispronounced so often that now people say ""butt-naked"". It would render me a crabby old man to decry the loss of the word meanings. It was also make me something of a jerk. Words evolve. - Arcayne (cast a spell)
It has not. Your claim could be fully exposed for the fraud it is just by the lack of Oxford degrees in ""Poli Sci"" or ""Int'l Relations"". I personally am not fully conversant in Oxbridge minutia, but I do not believe Poli Sci exists as such there.75.57.205.135 " | toxic | en |
