'''Luis Carlos Galán Sarmiento''' (29 September 1943 – 18 August 1989) was a Colombian journalist and [[Liberalism in Colombia|liberal]] politician who ran for the [[President of Colombia|presidency of Colombia]] on two occasions, the first for the [[Colombian Liberal Party|Liberal Party]] in 1982, which he lost to [[Belisario Betancur]]. His poor results encouraged him to focus his aspirations on the political movement [[New Liberalism (Colombia)|New Liberalism]] he had founded in 1979. The movement was initially the offspring of the mainstream [[Colombian Liberal Party]], but, with the mediation of former president [[Julio César Turbay Ayala|Julio César Turbay]], Galán returned to the party in 1987 and sought the nomination for the presidential election.

Galán declared himself an enemy of the dangerous and influential Colombian [[drug cartel]]s, mainly the [[Medellín Cartel]] led by [[Pablo Escobar]] (who had been part of his New Liberalism Movement) and [[Gonzalo Rodríguez Gacha|Gonzalo Rodríguez]] a.k.a. "El Mexicano," that were corrupting Colombian society at all levels. Galán supported an extradition treaty with the U.S. After receiving several death threats, on August 18, 1989, Galán was shot to death by hitmen hired by the drug cartels during a public demonstration in the town of [[Soacha]], [[Cundinamarca Department|Cundinamarca]]. At the time, he was comfortably leading in the polls for the forthcoming 1990 presidential election. The investigation into his assassination remains partially unsolved.

==Biography==

===Early life===

Galán was born on 29 September 1943 in the city of [[Bucaramanga]], [[Santander Department|Santander]], northeastern Colombia. He had a happy childhood, with strong family bonds, affectionate and sometimes austere, as he had 12 siblings. His father moved with the whole family to [[Bogotá]] in 1949.

In Bogotá, Galán studied middle school in the ''Colegio Americano'' in 1950. While a student there and only 8 years old, he attended a rally against [[Colombian Conservative Party|Conservative]] president [[Laureano Gómez]] and intended to support the [[Colombian Liberal Party|Liberal]] guerrillas.<ref name=SEMANA>[http://www.semana.com/wf_InfoArticulo.aspx?IdArt=26351 {{es icon}} Revista Semana: Luis Carlos Galan Sarmiento (1943–1989)] ''[[Revista Semana]]''. Retrieved 28 August 2007.</ref> Two years later he was transferred to another school, the ''Colegio Antonio Nariño''. When he was only a 14-year-old, Galán participated in the students protests of 1957 against the [[dictator|dictatorial regime]] of [[Gustavo Rojas Pinilla|Gustavo Rojas]] getting arrested and spending the night in a jail despite his age.<ref name=LABLAA>[http://www.lablaa.org/blaavirtual/biografias/galaluis.htm] {{es icon}} Luis Angel Arango Library: Galan Sarmiento, Luis Carlos] [[Luis Angel Arango Library]]. Retrieved 28 August 2007.</ref> In 1960 Galán graduated from High School with honors and began studies of law and economics in the [[Pontifical Xavierian University]] in Bogotá, it was then that his liberal radicalism cooled off.<ref name=SEMANA/> While a student in 1963, Galán founded ''Vértice'', a university focused magazine to express his Liberal tendencies in a university that was predominantly Conservative and also became his first experience with journalism. He was able to meet prominent Colombian leaders like former Liberal president [[Carlos Lleras Restrepo|Carlos Lleras]] (who delighted with Galán's work, decided to write articles for Vértice Magazine) and Colombia's main circulation newspaper [[El Tiempo (Colombia)|El Tiempo]] owner and also former Liberal president of Colombia [[Eduardo Santos]] during an interview in which Santos was impressed by Galán's journalist qualities.<ref name="SEMANA"/> In 1965 after graduating this same year, he started working for the Colombian newspaper [[El Tiempo (Colombia)|El Tiempo]].

===Journalism===
In [[El Tiempo (Colombia)|El Tiempo]] Galán turned himself into a well known journalist and columnist, effort that earned him the director's assistant position and later the membership of the Executive Directorate in the newspaper with the support of Eduardo Santos and then director Roberto García Peña. He was also active with the Nueva Frontera weekly magazine founded by former president [[Carlos Lleras Restrepo|Carlos Lleras]], which he directed in 1976 after arriving from Italy.<ref>http://www.unionjaveriana.org/jave_ilustres.htm</ref> As a journalist Galán wrote no less than 150 editorial articles, followed by other 150 during his time in El Tiempo newspaper.<ref name="SEMANA"/>

In 1977 Galán wrote in one of Nueva Frontera's editorial an article denouncing the existence of [[narcotics trafficking]] mafias and that they were influencing the social structure of Colombia. He also denounced the clientelist politics, moral values corruption and collective values loss, this seen as a premonition for Colombia's future.<ref name=SEMANA2>[http://www.semana.com/wf_InfoArticulo.aspx?IdArt=32605 {{es icon}} Revista Semana: Luis Carlos Galan] ''[[Revista Semana]]''. Retrieved 28 August 2007.</ref>

It was during an interview with the then recently elected president [[Misael Pastrana Borrero|Misael Pastrana]] that he was surprised by the president in the middle of the interview who told Galán that he was going to be his Minister of Education.<ref name="SEMANA"/>

In 1986 As an anecdote, Galán wrote his autobiography under the pseudonym "Cleo Tilde", but it was only until 1994 that the identity was revealed. He described detailed facts, events and encounters with prominent figures as well as an approach to his personal point of view and thoughts.<ref name=SEMANA3>[http://www.semana.com/wf_InfoArticulo.aspx?IdArt=53016 {{es icon}} Revista Semana: Galan por Galan] ''[[Revista Semana]]''. Retrieved 28 August 2007.</ref>

===Political career===

In 1970 Galán was appointed [[Ministry of National Education (Colombia)|Minister of National Education]] during the presidency of Misael Pastrana. His time as minister was marked by his progressive and social policies, but was not considered successful.<ref name="SEMANA"/> In 1972 Galán was appointed Ambassador of Colombia to Italy and later in 1974 while still ambassador, was appointed Colombian representative to the [[Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations]] (FAO). Under the influence of former president [[Carlos Lleras Restrepo|Lleras]] and after directing the Nueva Frontera Magazine for seven years, in 1976 Galán ran for councilman in the small town of [[Oiba, Santander|Oiba]] in the northeastern [[Departments of Colombia|department]] of [[Santander Department|Santander]]. In 1977 and 1978 Galán became very active and supportive of [[Carlos Lleras Restrepo|Carlos Lleras]] reelection as president of Colombia while he ran for the [[Senate of Colombia|Senate]]. The reelection never occurred, however, he got elected as Senator of Colombia representing the Santander Department.

On 30 November 1979 Galán founded a party with the name [[New Liberalism (Colombia)|Nuevo Liberalismo]] and within the [[Colombian Liberal Party|Liberal Party]].

During the 1980s Colombia went under critical siege by violent [[drug cartel]]s, specially the [[Medellín Cartel]] that had gained a great amount of influence by bribing or killing officials. Galán saw this as disastrous for Colombia and its society.

In 1980 Galán was elected as councilman for the capital, [[Bogotá]] to be named the following year, in 1981 as possible candidate for the presidency of Colombia amid divisions in the Liberal Party that intended to challenge the majorities of the party led by [[Alfonso López Michelsen]] and then president [[Julio César Turbay]], but voters leaned for the [[Colombian Conservative Party|conservative]] candidate [[Belisario Betancur]]. For Galán it had been a positive outcome despite losing, his party Nuevo Liberalismo had gained a 10% of the total votes winning 21 of the 23 Department Assemblies and getting reelected as Senator but he had been criticised by the Liberal Party for creating divisions among them and indeed losing the Presidency.

In 1982 [[Medellin cartel]] boss [[Pablo Escobar]] tried to infiltrate Galán's Nuevo Liberalismo Party. Galán publicly rejected him in front of thousands of his fellow men from [[Antioquia Department|Antioquia]] and Colombia.<ref name=NYTIMES>[https://www.nytimes.com/books/97/06/15/reviews/970615.15stonet.html?_r=1&oref=slogin The New York Times: The Autumn of the Drug Lord] ''[[The New York Times]]''. Retrieved 28 August 2007.</ref>

Galán continued with his ascendant career, absenting himself from the 1986 presidential race to prevent Liberal Party divisions and running his party as an offspring he was reelected once again as a Senator. This allowed the Liberal Party to regain the Presidency with the election of [[Virgilio Barco]] but at a terrible cost for his party that lost 50% of the votes gained in the previous election.<ref name=SEMANA4>[http://www.semana.com/wf_InfoArticulo.aspx?IdArt=27270 {{es icon}} Revista Semana: La esperanza trunca] ''[[Revista Semana]]''. Retrieved 28 August 2007.</ref>

It was only until the mediation of former president [[Julio César Turbay Ayala|Julio César Turbay]] that Galán returned to the party in 1987 and intended to win the party nomination for official candidate. Galán was growing impatient with the violence and the corruption the drug cartels led by Pablo Escobar and [[Gonzalo Rodríguez Gacha|Gonzalo Rodríguez]] were imposing in Colombia, which encouraged him to try to support the weakening government by shifting the balance of power away from his dangerous enemies.<ref name="LABLAA"/>

The Nuevo Liberalism joined the government and was given the [[Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (Colombia)|Ministry of Agriculture]] headed by Gabriel Rosas Vega and the Liberal Party gained a solid union that consolidated further when Galán won the Liberal Party's popular nomination to be the presidential frontrunner.<ref name="LABLAA"/> Galán was becoming popular for his open criticism and denunciation of drug cartel violence, he had promised to extradite drug dealers to the United States. He announced he would run for office on 4 July 1989 in the Tequendama Hotel in Bogotá. His popularity rating skyrocketed to 60%.

Meanwhile, Escobar found some support in [[Tolima Department|Tolima]]'s political chief [[Alberto Santofimio]] affiliated also with a faction of the Liberal Party led by [[Alfonso López Michelsen]] and with a movement called ''Movimiento de Renovación Liberal'' (Liberal Renovation Movement) getting himself elected to the [[Chamber of Representatives of Colombia|Chamber of Representatives]] as second runner up for Santofimios' congress candidate Jairo Rojas.

==Assassination==

According to accounts the first assassination threats were calls made to Galán's home telephone number after the Liberal Party convention to nominate an official candidate. Flyers were left in the mailbox threatening to kill or kidnap his children. An attempt to kill Galán with an [[Rocket propelled grenade|RPG]] was thwarted while visiting [[Medellín]] on 4 August 1989. The assassination attempt was prevented by men working for [[Waldemar Franklin Quintero]], the commander of the [[Colombian National Police]] in [[Antioquia Department|Antioquia]]. Accompanying Quintero and Galán was the Mayor of Medellín, Pedro Pablo Paláez; both Paláez and Quintero would be killed within a few weeks of the assassination attempt. After these assassinations, Galán and his family restricted their travels, especially at night.<ref name=SEMANA5>[http://www.semana.com/wf_InfoArticulo.aspx?IdArt=26337 {{es icon}} Revista Semana: ¿Que se sabe?] ''[[Revista Semana]]''. Retrieved 28 August 2007.</ref>

Later on, Galán's staff received information from the Colombian intelligence services advising him of the presence in [[Bogotá]] of a group of hitmen with the intention to kill him. His staff advised him not to travel to the town of [[Soacha]] and that the trip to [[Valledupar]] was more suitable since he was also scheduled to attend a [[association football|football]] match in nearby [[Barranquilla]] for a [[1990 FIFA World Cup]] qualification match in which the [[Colombia national football team|Colombian team]] was going to play. At the last moment, Galán changed his mind and ordered his staff to prepare to go to Soacha.<ref name="SEMANA5"/> Galán was killed as he walked onto the stage to give a speech in front of 10,000 people in Soacha. At least ten others were wounded in the gunfire.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1989/08/19/world/colombian-presidential-candidate-is-slain-at-rally.html Colombian Presidential Candidate Is Slain at Rally]</ref>

The Colombian drug cartels were worried about the possible approval in congress of an extradition treaty with the [[United States]], and political enemies feared Galán's increasing power would isolate many of them from the voters. According to John Jairo Velásquez a.k.a. "Popeye" and Luis Carlos Aguilar a.k.a. "El Mugre", former hitmen of Pablo Escobar, the assassination was planned in a farm by Escobar, [[José Gonzalo Rodríguez Gacha|Gonzalo Rodríguez]] a.k.a. "El Mexicano", [[Colombian Liberal Party|Liberal]] political leader [[Alberto Santofimio]] and others. Velásquez affirmed that Santofimio had certain influence over Escobar's decision making, and he had heard Santofimio say "kill him Pablo, kill him!".<ref name="FAC">[http://www.fac.mil.co/?idcategoria=5866 {{es icon}} Fuerza Aérea Colombiana: Histórico llamado a juicio a ex senador Alberto Santofimio por homicidio de Luis Carlos Galán] fac.mil.co. Retrieved 28 August 2007.</ref> Santofimio told Escobar that if Galan became President, he would extradite Escobar to the United States. Other potential perpetrators were mentioned by a demobilized member of the [[United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia|AUC paramilitary group]], "Ernesto Baez", who testified that the murder of Galán was organized by the [[Medellín Cartel|Colombian mafia]] with the participation of corrupt members of the [[Military of Colombia|military]] and the DAS.<ref name="ELTIEMPO">[http://www.eltiempo.com/justicia/juicio_paras/paramilitares/ARTICULO-WEB-NOTA_INTERIOR-3520222.html {{es icon}} El Tiempo: Alianza de militares, mafia y DAS decidió asesinato de Luis Carlos Galán, afirmó Ernesto Báez] eltiempo.com. Retrieved 28 August 2007.</ref>

==Galán's suit==
At the time of his assassination, Galán was wearing a dark blue 2-button [[pinstripe]] suit by Italian [[menswear]] designer [[Ugo Pellegrini]], paired with a burgundy [[necktie]]. These pieces of clothing are now kept under guard at the [[Colombian National Museum]] in [[Bogotá]].<ref>{{YouTube|B05-G9dNv3Y|Newscast – Noticias RCN Colombia}} 18 August 2009</ref>

==After death==
[[César Gaviria]], who had been Galán's debate chief ("Jefe de Debate") during the campaign, was proclaimed as his successor by Galán's family and his supporters inside the Liberal party. He was elected president in 1990.<ref name=OAS>[http://www.oas.org/documents/spa/biography_sg.asp {{es icon}} Organizacion de los Estados Americanos: César Gaviria Trujillo] oas.org. Retrieved 28 August 2007.</ref>

In 2004, new information in a letter written by one of the hitmen who had infiltrated his escort suggested that Galán's assassination was executed with help of corrupt [[Colombian National Police|Colombian policemen]] and some of his own bodyguards, who had been bought off by the drug cartels, including [[Pablo Escobar]] and other drug lords. Most of the arrested presumed hitmen were killed in jail or shortly after their release, allegedly to silence them.

On 13 May 2005, a former Justice minister (1974) and congressman of the [[Colombian Liberal Party]], [[Alberto Santofimio]], known for his open connections to [[Pablo Escobar]] during the 1980s (Escobar joined Santofimio's political movement), was arrested and accused of being the intellectual author of Galán's murder.

According to the newly extended confession of Escobar's former top hitman, John Jairo Velasquez (also known as "Popeye"), Santofimio would have openly suggested Galán's murder during a secret meeting, in order to eliminate a political rival and, should Galán ever be elected president, also prevent Escobar's likely extradition. Santofimio had been previously questioned and mentioned during the investigation and his involvement was widely rumored, but apparently no direct testimonies of his role had been acquired until recently. Velásquez, currently serving a jail sentence, told the Colombian press that he had initially denied Santofimio's participation due to his existing political power at the time. Other new and unspecified evidences would also have contributed to building the case against Santofimio.<ref name=BBC>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4542595.stm BBC: Ex-Colombia minister held for murder] BBC. Retrieved 28 August 2007.</ref>

On 11 October 2007, Alberto Santofimio was convicted to 24 years in prison. He was later released on appeal, but in August 2011 the Supreme Court reinstated the conviction<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-14742303 Colombia court reinstates ex-minister's conviction], BBC, 31 August 2011</ref> and he surrendered himself.<ref>{{es}}[http://www.elheraldo.co/pol-tica/corte-ordena-captura-de-santofimio-por-crimen-de-gal-n-35827 Se entregó ante la Fiscalía el ex ministro Alberto Santofimio Botero], El Heraldo, 31 August 2011</ref>

On 25 November 2010 Colombian prosecutors issued an arrest warrant for the ex-director of the Colombian security agency (DAS), Retired Gen. [[Miguel Maza Márquez]], for involvement in Galán's murder. The prosecutors claimed that Maza intentionally lightened Galan's bodyguard contingent to enable the 18 August 1989 assassination.<ref name="The Miami Herald">[http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/11/25/1943180/colombian-ex-police-chief-charged.html The Miami Herald : Colombian ex-police chief charged in killing] ''The Miami Herald''. Retrieved 26 November 2010.</ref>

==Family==
Son of Mario Galán Gómez and Cecilia Sarmiento Suárez, Galán was one of their 12 children, the others being: María Lucía, Gabriel, Cecilia, Helena, Elsa, Gloria, Antonio, Juan Daniel, Mario Augusto, Francisco Alberto and María Victoria Galán Sarmiento. He was cousin of former [[Attorney General of Colombia]] [[Alfonso Valdivieso Sarmiento]]. In 1971 he married journalist Gloria Pachón Castro and had three children [[Juan Manuel Galán Pachón|Juan Manuel]], Claudio Mario and Carlos Fernando.<ref name="SEMANA"/><ref name="LABLAA"/><ref name=CARACOLRADIO>[http://www.caracol.com.co/noticias/372679.asp?id=372679 {{es icon}} Caracol Radio: Hijo de Luis Carlos Galán propone la legalización de la droga] caracol.com.co. Retrieved 28 August 2007.</ref>

==Quotes==
Galán was largely influenced by [[Pierre Teilhard de Chardin]]'s ideas and [[Nikos Kazantzakis]]'s books. His father Mario described him as a person fascinated with spirituality, a man with integrity, an individual struggle for knowing one's self between good and evil and that the effort to achieve it consisted in the main objective in life, not only individually, but collectively.<ref name="SEMANA"/>

«La sensibilidad social del autor, el hombre integral que buscaba y la lucha interna que Kazantzakis padeció y soportó a través de su vida entre el ángel y la bestia, entre la naturaleza interior y superior del hombre, entre el mundo pasional y el espíritu, lo fascinaban dice su padre- la búsqueda de esa trascendencia espiritual y el esfuerzo para realizarlo constituía para Luis Carlos el objetivo de la vida, no solamente en lo individual sino también en lo colectivo».

Pin-up model

2017-08-18T17:47:57Z

190.159.239.204:

{{redirect|Pinup|the 1944 film|Pin Up Girl (film)|other uses|Pin-up (disambiguation)}}
[[File:Betty Grable 20th Century Fox.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Betty Grable]]'s famous pin-up photo]]
A '''pin-up model''' (known as a '''pin-up girl''' for a female and less commonly '''male pin-up''' for a male) is a [[model (person)|model]] whose mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as popular culture. Pin-ups are intended for informal display, i.e. meant to be "''pinned-up''" on a wall. Pin-up models may be [[glamour photography|glamour models]], fashion models, or actors.

These pictures are also sometimes known as '''cheesecake''' photos.{{efn|''[[Merriam-Webster]] Online'' defines a "cheesecake" as "a photographic display of shapely and scantily clothed female figure".}}

The term ''pin-up'' may refer to drawings, paintings, and other illustrations as well as photographs (see the [[list of pin-up artists]]). The term was first attested to in English in 1941;{{sfnp|Ayto|2006|p=126}} however, the practice is documented back at least to the 1890s.

The pin-up images could be cut out of magazines or newspapers, or on a postcard or [[lithography|lithograph]]. Such pictures often appear on wall or desk calendars. Posters of pin-ups were mass-produced and became popular from the mid 20th century.

Male pin-ups were less common than their female counterparts throughout the 20th century, although a market for [[homoerotica]] has always existed as well as pictures of popular male celebrities targeted at women or girls. Examples include [[James Dean]] and [[Jim Morrison]].

==History==
In the late 19th century, [[American burlesque|burlesque]] performers and actresses sometimes used photographic advertisement as business cards to promote themselves.{{sfnp|Buszek|2006|p=43}} These adverts and business cards could often be found in almost every [[green room]], pinned-up or stuck into "frames of the looking-glasses, in the joints of the gas-burners, and sometimes lying on-top of the sacred cast-case itself."{{sfnp|Buszek|2006|p=43}} Understanding the power of photographic advertisements to promote their shows, burlesque women self-constructed their identity to make themselves visible. Being recognized not only within the theater itself but also outside challenged the conventions of women's place and women's potential in the public sphere.{{sfnp|Buszek|2006|p=45}} "To understand both the complicated identity and the subversive nature of the 19th-century actress, one must also understand that the era's views on women's potential were inextricably tied to their sexuality, which in turn was tied to their level of visibility in the public sphere: regardless of race, class or background, it was generally assumed that the more public the woman, the more 'public,' or available, her sexuality", according to historian Maria Elena Buszek.{{sfnp|Buszek|2006|p=29}} Being sexually fantasized, famous actresses in early 20th-century film were both drawn and photographed and put on posters to be sold for personal entertainment.<ref>Carole S. Vance, ed. "Seeking Ectasy on the Battlefield: Danger and Pleasure in Nineteenth-Century Feminist Sexual Thought," in Pleasure and Danger: Exploring Female Sexuality (Boston: Routledge and K. Paul, 1984)</ref> Among the [[celebrity|celebrities]] who were considered [[sex symbol]]s, one of the most popular early pin-up girls was [[Betty Grable]], whose poster was ubiquitous in the lockers of [[GI (term)|G.I.]]s during [[World War II]].

[[File:Bernie Dexter.jpg|thumb|left|upright|[[Bernie Dexter]]]]
In Europe, prior to the First World War, the likes of [[Fernande Barrey]] (aka "Miss Fernande"), were arguably the world's first pinups as is known in the modern sense. Miss Barrey displayed ample cleavage and full frontal nudity. Her pictures were cherished by soldiers on both sides of the First World War conflict.<ref>[http://dazzledent.tumblr.com/post/9537692783/her-name-was-fernande-barrey-but-she-was-known Dazzledent: Fernande Barrey; tumblr]</ref><ref>[http://home.comcast.net/~kb8gpo/fernande/ Miss Fernande; Comcast.net]</ref>

[[File:Nose art on the B-25J Take-off Time.JPG|thumb|Pin-up girl nose art on the restored World War II [[North American B-25 Mitchell|B-25J]] aircraft ''Take-off Time'']]
Other pin-ups were artwork depicting idealized versions of what some thought a particularly beautiful or attractive woman should look like. An early example of the latter type was the [[Gibson girl]], a representation of the [[New Woman]] drawn by [[Charles Dana Gibson]]. "Because the New Woman was symbolic of her new ideas about her sex, it was inevitable that she would also come to symbolize new ideas about sexuality."{{sfnp|Buszek|2006|p=82}} Unlike the photographed actresses and dancers generations earlier, fantasy gave artists the freedom to draw women in many different ways.{{sfnp|Buszek|2006|p=43}} The 1932 Esquire "men's" magazine featured many drawings and "girlie" cartoons but was most famous for its [[Alberto Vargas|''Vargas girls'']]. Prior to World War II they were praised for their beauty and less focus was on their sexuality. However, during the war, the drawings transformed into women playing dress-up in military drag and drawn in seductive manners, like that of a child playing with a
doll.{{sfnp|Buszek|2006|p=209}} The Vargas girls became so popular that from 1942–46, owing to a high volume of military demand, "9 million copies of the magazine-without adverts and free of charge was sent to American troops stationed overseas and in domestic bases."{{sfnp|Buszek|2006|p=210}} The Vargas Girls were adapted as [[nose art]] on many [[World War II]] bomber and fighter aircraft; Generally, they were considered inspiring, and not seen negatively, or as prostitutes, but mostly as inspiring female patriots that were helpful for good luck.<ref>{{cite book|last=Costello|first=John|title=Virtue Under Fire: How World War II Changed Our social and Sexual Attitudes|year=1985|publisher=Little Brown|location=Boston|isbn=0-316-73968-5|pages=144–155}}</ref>

Among the other well-known artists specializing in the field were [[Earle K. Bergey]], [[Enoch Bolles]], [[Gil Elvgren]], [[George Petty]], [[Rolf Armstrong]], Duane Bryers<ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2385046/Hilda-Fifties-plus-size-pin-rediscovered-year-creator-Duane-Bryers-dies.html]</ref><ref>[http://www.nogalesinternational.com/the_bulletin/news/noted-artist-duane-bryers-dies-at/article_971c16f8-aff0-11e1-a9c2-001a4bcf887a.html]</ref> and [[Art Frahm]]. Notable contemporary pin-up artists include Paul John Ballard, Elias Chatzoudis, Armando Huerta,Cris Delara and Chuck Bauman. Another is popular pin-up artist [[Olivia De Berardinis]] who is most famous for her pin-up art of [[Bettie Page]] and her pieces in [[Playboy]].

==Feminism and the pin-up==
According to [[Joanne Meyerowitz]] in "Women, Cheesecake, and Borderline Material" an article in ''Journal of Women's History'', "As sexual images of women multiplied in the popular culture, women participated actively in constructing arguments to endorse as well as protest them."{{sfnp|Meyerowitz|1996|p=9}}

As early as 1869, women have been supporters and protesters of the pin-up. Women supporters of early pin-up content considered these to be a "positive post-Victorian rejection of bodily shame and a healthy respect for female beauty."{{sfnp|Meyerowitz|1996|p=10}} Conversely, women protesters argued that these images were corrupting societal morality and saw these public sexual displays of women as lowering the standards of womanhood, destroying their dignity, reducing them to mere objects to pleasure men and therefore harmful to both women and young adolescents.{{sfnp|Meyerowitz|1996|p=10}}

It has further been argued by some critics that in the early 20th century, these drawings of women helped define certain body images—such as being clean, being healthy, and being wholesome—and were enjoyed by both normal men and women; but as time progressed these images changed from respectable to illicit.{{sfnp|Ross|1989|p=61}}

The '''1999 Constitutional Assembly of Venezuela''' (''Asamblea Nacional Constituyente'', National Constitutional Assembly) was a [[Constitutional convention (political meeting)|constitutional convention]] held in [[Venezuela]] in 1999 to draft a new [[Constitution of Venezuela]], but the assembly also gave itself the role of a supreme power above all the existing institutions in the republic. The Assembly was endorsed by [[Venezuelan constitutional referendum, April 1999|a referendum in April 1999]] which enabled [[Venezuelan Constitutional Assembly election, 1999|Constituent Assembly elections in July 1999]]. Three seats were reserved for indigenous delegates in the 131-member constitutional assembly,<ref>Van Cott (2003:55)</ref> and two additional indigenous delegates won unreserved seats in the assembly elections.<ref>Van Cott (2003:56)</ref>

The constitution was later endorsed by the [[Venezuelan constitutional referendum, December 1999|referendum in December 1999]], and new [[Venezuelan general election, 2000|general]] elections were held under the new constitution in July 2000. This ended the [[Fourth Republic of Venezuela]] and ushered in the present-day Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

== Precedents ==
{{main|Venezuelan Constitutional Assembly election, 1999}}
President Chávez called for a public [[referendum]] - something virtually unknown in Venezuela at the time - which he hoped would support his plans to form a constitutional assembly, composed of representatives from across Venezuela, as well as from indigenous tribal groups, which would be able to rewrite the nation's constitution. The referendum went ahead on 25 April 1999, and was an overwhelming success for Chávez, with 88% of voters supporting the proposal.<ref name="ReferenceA">[[#Mar07|Marcano and Tyszka 2007]]. p. 130.</ref><ref name="Jones 2007. p. 238">[[#Jon07|Jones 2007]]. p. 238.</ref> Following this, Chávez called for an [[Venezuelan Constitutional Assembly election, 1999|election to take place on 25 July 1999]], in which the members of the constitutional assembly would be voted into power, and as Bart Jones commented, "The stakes were high. Chávez believed a constitutional assembly controlled by his supporters was the major breakthrough the country needed to end the traditional parties' stronghold on power. The oligarchy, the traditional parties, and much of the media feared it was the final step to establishing a one-man [[dictatorship]]."<ref>[[#Jon07|Jones 2007]]. p. 239.</ref>

Of the 1,171 candidates standing for election to the assembly, over 900 of them were opponents of Chávez. Chávez's supporters won 52% of the vote; despite this, because of voting procedures chosen by the government beforehand, supporters of the new government took 125 seats (95% of the total), including all of those belonging to indigenous tribal groups, whereas the opposition obtained only 6 seats.<ref name="ReferenceA"/><ref name="Jones 2007. p. 240">[[#Jon07|Jones 2007]]. p. 240.</ref>

The 131 member assembly was composed of 121 belonging to the Chávez's Patriotic Pole, which consisted of the [[Fifth Republic Movement]], [[Movement for Socialism (Venezuela)|Movement for Socialism]], [[Fatherland for All]], the [[Communist Party of Venezuela]], [[People's Electoral Movement]] and others, 3 indigenous representatives and 6 Democratic Pole and other party members consisting of [[Acción Democrática]], [[Copei]], [[Project Venezuela]] and [[National Convergence (Venezuela)|National Convergence]].

== Setting up the assembly ==

The Assembly convened 3 August. On 12 August 1999, the new constitutional assembly voted to give themselves the power to abolish government institutions and to dismiss officials who were perceived as being corrupt or operating only in their own interests. As Jones noted, "It was a breathtaking move. To its supporters, it could force reforms that had been blocked for years by corrupt politicians and judicial authorities. To its critics, it was an overreach of power and a threat to democracy. The stage was set for a confrontation with the [[Supreme court|Supreme Court]]."<ref>[[#Jon07|Jones 2007]]. p. 241.</ref> Indeed, Chávez and his supporters had discussed dissolving both the Supreme Court and the Congress, each of which they believed to be entirely controlled by the oligarchy and the opponents of the Bolivarian movement. The constitutional assembly had the power to perform such an action, and had already fired almost sixty judges whom it identified as being involved in corruption.<ref>[[#Jon07|Jones 2007]]. pp. 245-246.</ref>

The new constitution included increased protections for indigenous peoples and women, and established the rights of the public to education, housing, healthcare and food. It added new environmental protections, and increased requirements for government transparency. It increased the presidential term from five to six years, allowed people to [[recall election|recall]] presidents by referendum, and added a new presidential two-term limit. It converted the [[bicameralism|bicameral]] legislature which consisted of a Congress with both a Senate and a Chamber of Deputies into a [[unicameralism|unicameral]] one that consisted only of a [[National Assembly of Venezuela|National Assembly]].<ref>[[#Wil07|Wilpert 2007]]. pp. 31-41.</ref><ref name="Embassy of Venezuela in the US">{{cite web|year = 2000| title=Bolivarian Constitution of Venezuela|url= http://www.embavenez-us.org/constitution/intro.htm|accessdate = 30 December 2006|publisher=Embassy of Venezuela in the US}}</ref><ref name="new-const">{{cite web|title=Venezuela's New Constitution|url=http://venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/70|work=Venezuela Analysis|author=Gregory Wilpert|date=August 27, 2003}}</ref> As a part of the new constitution, the country, which was then officially known as the Republic of Venezuela, was renamed the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (República Bolivariana de Venezuela) at Chávez's request, thereby reflecting the government's ideology of Bolivarianism.<ref name="Jones 2007. p. 240"/>

The resulting [[1999 Venezuelan Constitution]] was approved by referendum in December 1999, with the support of nearly 80% of the population.<ref>[[#Koz06|Kozloff 2006]]. p. 94.</ref>

==Indigenous rights==

The [[indigenous peoples in Venezuela]] make up only around 1.5% of the population nationwide, though the proportion is nearly 50% in [[Amazonas, Venezuela|Amazonas state]].<ref>Van Cott (2003:52)</ref> Prior to the creation of the 1999 constitution, legal rights for [[indigenous peoples]] were increasingly lagging behind other Latin American countries, which were progressively enshrining a common set of indigenous collective rights in their national constitutions.<ref name=vancott51/> The 1961 constitution had actually been a step backward from the 1947 constitution, and the indigenous rights law foreseen in it languished for a decade, unpassed by 1999.<ref name=vancott51>Van Cott (2003), "Andean Indigenous Movements and Constitutional Transformation: Venezuela in Comparative Perspective", ''Latin American Perspectives'' 30(1), p51</ref>

Ultimately the constitutional process produced "the region's most progressive indigenous rights regime".<ref name=vancott63>Van Cott (2003:63)</ref> Innovations included Article 125's guarantee of political representation at all levels of government, and Article 124's prohibition on "the registration of patents related to indigenous genetic resources or intellectual property associated with indigenous knowledge."<ref name=vancott63/> The new constitution followed the example of Colombia in reserving parliamentary seats for indigenous delegates (three in Venezuela's National Assembly); and it was the first Latin American constitution to reserve indigenous seats in state assemblies and municipal councils in districts with indigenous population.<ref>Van Cott (2003:65)</ref>

'''''Chilesaurus''''' is an extinct [[genus]] of herbivorous [[dinosaur]].

== Description ==
[[File:Chilesaurus diagram.png|thumb|left|Life reconstruction of ''Chilesaurus'', size based on holotype individual]]
''Chilesaurus'' measured roughly {{convert|3.2|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} from nose to tail. The [[holotype]] is a smaller individual of half that length.

The most unusual feature of ''Chilesaurus'' is its spatula-shaped, elongated teeth, obliquely pointing forwards. Such [[dentition]] would be unique in the [[Theropoda]], where it has sometimes been recovered, and is typical for a [[herbivore]], indicating ''Chilesaurus'' was a plant-eater. Another adaptation for eating plants is the backward-pointing [[pubic bone]] in the pelvis, making room for a large gut. Such a pelvic arrangement is typical for the [[Ornithischia]], which some other studies have allied it with. The hind limb of ''Chilesaurus'' had become less adapted to running as shown by a small cnemial crest on the front top of the shinbone, and a broad foot with a weight-bearing first toe. ''Chilesaurus'' could defend itself with a strong arm, bearing a large first claw which could be extended outwards, just as with the basal [[Sauropodomorpha]].

== Discovery and naming ==
[[File:Chilesaurus holotype cast.jpg|thumb|left|Cast of the holotype skeleton]]
[[Fossil]]s of ''Chilesaurus'', a vertebra and a rib, were first discovered on 4 February 2004 by the seven-year-old Diego Suárez, who together with his parents, geologists Manuel Suárez and Rita de la Cruz, was searching for decorative stones in the [[Aysén Region]]. More specimens were present that in 2008 were reported as representing several dinosaurian species.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Salgado | first1 = L. | last2 = De La Cruz | first2 = R. | last3 = Suárez | first3 = M. | last4 = Gasparini | first4 = Z. | last5 = Fernández | first5 = M. | year = 2008 | title = First Late Jurassic dinosaur bones from Chile | url = | journal = Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology | volume = 28 | issue = | pages = 529–534 | doi=10.1671/0272-4634(2008)28[529:fljdbf]2.0.co;2}}</ref> Only later was it realised that these belonged to a single species with a bizarre combination of traits.

In 2015, the type species ''C. diegosuarezi'' was named and described by [[Fernando Emilio Novas]], [[Leonardo Salgado]], [[Manuel Suárez]], [[Federico Lisandro Agnolín]], [[Martín Dário Ezcurra]], [[Nicolás Chimento]], [[Rita de la Cruz]], [[Marcelo Pablo Isasi]], [[Alexander Omar Vargas]], and [[David Rubilar-Rogers]].

The holotype, '''SNGM-1935''', was found in a layer of the [[Toqui Formation]] dating from the late [[Tithonian]]. It consists of an articulated, rather complete skeleton with skull of a juvenile individual, lacking the feet and most of the tail. Four other partial skeletons (specimens SNGM-1937, SNGM-1936, SNGM-1938, and SNGM-1888) and several single bones (specimens SNGM-1889, SNGM-1895, SNGM-1901, SNGM-1894, SNGM-1898, SNGM-1900, and SNGM-1903) are the [[paratype]]s. They represent juvenile and adult individuals.<ref name="Novas2015"/>

== Classification ==
[[File:Chilesaurus NT small.jpg|left|thumb|Restoration]]
''Chilesaurus'' was first placed in the [[Tetanurae]], in a basal position. It shows a confusing mix of traits normally present in [[Coelurosauria]], basal [[Sauropodomorpha]] and [[Ornithischia]], but was found in its original description to belong to none of these groups.<ref name="Novas2015"/> Alternatively, Baron and Barrett proposed in 2017 that ''Chilesaurus'' may be a basal ornithischian, with orithischians being closer to theropods than sauropodomorphs as a part of the [[Ornithoscelida]].<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Baron |first1=Matthew G. |last2=Barrett |first2=Paul M. |title=A dinosaur missing-link?

His first goal for the ''Alviverde'' arrived in the following fixture, a 1-1 draw against [[Santos FC|Santos]].

== Classification leadership ==
{{unreferenced section |date=August 2017}}
The Vuelta a España has four classifications for which jerseys are awarded daily to the rider leading the classification. The primary classification is known as the [[General classification in the Vuelta a España|General Classification]], or "GC". A rider's standing in the General Classification is determined by adding up the finishing times from each of the previous stages, including any time bonuses accrued, if applicable. The rider with the lowest cumulative time is the leader of the General Classification, and wears the Red Jersey. The leader of the General Classification on the final day is considered the overall winner of the Vuelta a España.

The second category is the [[Points classification in the Vuelta a España|Points Classification]]. Riders accumulate points by placing highly in the stage finishes, as well as at intermediate sprints placed along the stage route. The rider with the most cumulative points is awarded the Green Jersey, and the leader of this classification on the final day is the overall winner of the Points Classification.

The next category is the [[Mountains classification in the Vuelta a España|Mountains Classification]]. Similar to the Points Classification, riders are awarded points in the Mountains Classification based on positions over the summit of categorized climbs along the route, as well as for finishing positions on a summit finish. Mountain passes are classified based on length, gradient, and position along the stage. The hardest climbs are categorized as "especial", followed by category 1, category 2, and category 3 in decreasing order of difficulty. At the end of each stage, the rider with the most points is awarded the polka dot jersey, and the leader of the classification over the summit of the final categorized climb in the race is considered the winner of the Mountains Classification, provided that the rider finishes the entire grand tour.

The final of the primary classifications is the [[Combination classification in the Vuelta a España|Combination Classification]]. A rider's ranking in the Combination Classification is determined by tallying up his positions in the General Classification, the Points Classification, and the Mountains Classification. The rider with the highest overall position in these three classifications combined is the leader of the Combination Classification and wears the white jersey.

The final individual classification is the combativity award. This subjective prize is awarded to the rider considered the most combative, brave, or courageous during an individual stage, excluding the time trials. The daily winner wears a red number during the next days stage. On the final day of the race, the race jury decides who is the most combative rider for the entire Vuelta.

There is also the Team Classification, which is awarded to the team with the lowest cumulative time of the top three riders on the team.

[[File:397806 sPICT.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Falcao on the ball for Monaco in 2016]]
Falcao has been described as a "natural goal scorer" and a striker with the "ability to bag a goal from nothing".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.topoulakitsiou.eu/2012/05/radamel-falcao-garcia-zarate.html |title=Radamel Falcao García Zárate | topoulakitsiou |publisher=Topoulakitsiou.eu |date=10 February 1986 |accessdate=2 January 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.totalfootballmag.com/features/world-football/the-worlds-current-top-5-strikers |publisher=totalfootballmag.com |title=The world’s top 5 strikers |accessdate=24 January 2013}}</ref><ref name="fifa.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.fifa.com/ballondor/news/newsid=1804906/ |title=Falcao: Several players deserve the Ballon d’Or |publisher=FIFA |date=30 October 2012 |accessdate=2 January 2013}}</ref> His abilities to adapt to most positions and scoring goals with various parts of his body has resulted in goals. Described as a "poacher", Falcao is often labeled as a "pure striker" often playing as a traditional "number 9", capitalizing on less amount of chances that are given to him than the typical goal scorer. His footing and curves are highly noticeable through his games regardless of distance and/or positions. Falcao is well known for having a strong weak foot (left) that is on equals with his right foot (preference) allowing him to be flexible with goal scoring. Falcao controls a well-balanced pace keeping his stamina in check and allowing him to often outrun other players in the most critical moments in obtaining the ball. The strength of his shots is often well controlled, in terms of distance and angles, as shown throughout his career.<ref name="fifa.com"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.soccernews.com/simeone-falcao-is-the-best/105724/ |title=Simeone: Falcao is the best |publisher=Soccer News |date=27 October 2012 |accessdate=2 January 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Dotinga |first=Renger |url=http://sg.sports.yahoo.com/news/falcao-urges-focus-world-cup-qualifiers-095400926--spt.html |title=Falcao urges focus in World Cup qualifiers – Yahoo!

==Personal life==
[[File:Radamel Falcao García Signature.svg|thumb|Falcao's signature]]
Falcao is a second generation footballer, with his father Radamel García having played professionally as a defender in Colombia and Venezuela, moving to the latter country when Falcao was five. At first, he was picked on in Venezuela for not being good at the country's most popular sport, [[baseball]].<ref name=worswick/>

His name derives from the 1980s [[Brazil national football team|Brazil national team]], [[Sport Club Internacional|Internacional]] and [[A.S. Roma|Roma]] legend [[Paulo Roberto Falcão]], as a tribute from his father Radamel García. Despite being named Radamel, he prefers to use his middle name in interviews. Falcao is married to Argentinean singer Lorelei Taron. In early 2013, it was revealed that Falcao was expecting his first child with her.<ref>{{cite web|last=Hashim |first=Ash |url=http://sg.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/futbolita/atletico-madrid-falcao-liverpool-pepe-reina-embrace-fatherhood-044619487.html |title=Atletico Madrid’s Falcao and Liverpool’s Pepe Reina embrace fatherhood |publisher=Yahoo!

He is partially of [[English people|English]] descent; George King, one of his great-grandfathers, emigrated from the [[North Yorkshire]] village of [[Burn, North Yorkshire|Burn]] near [[Selby]] in 1932 to work as an accountant for the [[United Fruit Company]] in Colombia. Owing to this ancestry, Falcao's father attempted to make it easier for his son to play in Europe by obtaining a [[British passport]] for him, however this was rejected.<ref name=worswick>{{cite news|last1=Worswick|first1=Carl|title=Radamel Falcao has Yorkshire roots... his great-grandfather was an accountant from Selby, says Manchester United star's dad as he reveals striker's tough childhood|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2794356/radamel-falcao-s-blood-makes-proud-yorkshire-roots-man-united-dream-come-true-says-dad.html|accessdate=1 November 2014|work=[[Daily Mail]]|date=15 October 2014}}</ref>

The '''2016–17 UEFA Europa League''' was the 46th season of Europe's secondary club [[association football|football]] tournament organised by [[UEFA]], and the eighth season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to the [[UEFA Europa League]].

The [[2017 UEFA Europa League Final|final]] was played between [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] and [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] at the [[Friends Arena]] in [[Solna Municipality|Solna]], Sweden.<ref name="host">{{cite news |url=http://www.expressen.se/sport/fotboll/europa-league-final-2017-till-friends-arena/ |title=Europa League-final 2017 till Friends Arena |publisher=Expressen |date=30 June 2015 |accessdate=30 June 2015}}</ref><ref name="host2">{{cite news |url=http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/newsid=2262072.html |title=Solna to host 2017 UEFA Europa League final |publisher=UEFA |date=30 June 2015 |accessdate=30 June 2015}}</ref> Manchester United beat Ajax 2–0 to win their first title.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/05/24/europa-league-final-2017-manchester-united-vs-ajax-live-score/ |title=Ajax 0 Manchester United 2: José Mourinho's team make Manchester proud as they win the Europa League |publisher=The Telegraph |date=24 May 2017 |accessdate=25 May 2017}}</ref> With this victory, they joined [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]], [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]], [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] and [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] as the only clubs to have won all three major European trophies ([[UEFA Champions League|European Champion Clubs' Cup/UEFA Champions League]], UEFA Cup/Europa League, and the now defunct [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]]).<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/40004559 |title=Ajax 0 Manchester United 2 |publisher=BBC Sport |date=24 May 2017 |accessdate=25 May 2017}}</ref>

Manchester United qualified for the [[2017–18 UEFA Champions League]], and also earned the right to play against the winners of the [[2016–17 UEFA Champions League]], [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]], in the [[2017 UEFA Super Cup]].

[[Sevilla FC|Sevilla]] had won the last three tournaments but were unable to defend their titles, having qualified for the [[2016–17 UEFA Champions League]] and reached the knockout phase.

==Association team allocation==
A total of 188 teams from 54 of the 55 [[UEFA]] member associations were expected to participate in the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League (the exception being [[Football Federation of Kosovo|Kosovo]], whose participation was not accepted in their first attempt as UEFA members). The association ranking based on the [[UEFA coefficient#Country coefficient|UEFA country coefficients]] was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:<ref name="regulations">{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.org/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/Regulations/02/35/92/45/2359245_DOWNLOAD.pdf|title=Regulations of the UEFA Europa League 2016/17 Season|publisher=UEFA.com|date=4 March 2016}}</ref>
*Associations 1–51 (except Liechtenstein) each had three teams qualify.
** As [[2015–16 UEFA Europa League]] winners, [[Sevilla FC|Sevilla]] qualified for the [[2016–17 UEFA Champions League]]; the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League berth they would otherwise have earned for finishing 7th in the [[2015–16 La Liga]] was vacated and not passed to another Spanish team.
*Associations 52–54 (except Gibraltar) each had two teams qualify.
*[[Liechtenstein Football Association|Liechtenstein]] and [[Gibraltar Football Association|Gibraltar]] each had one team qualify (Liechtenstein organises only a domestic cup and no domestic league; Gibraltar as per decision by the UEFA Executive Committee).<ref name="gibraltar">{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.org/about-uefa/executive-committee/news/newsid=1999120.html|title=Strategic talks in Dubrovnik|publisher=UEFA.org|date=20 September 2013}}</ref>
*Moreover, 33 teams eliminated from the [[2016–17 UEFA Champions League]] were transferred to the Europa League.

The UEFA Executive Committee approved in December 2014 changes to the rewards given according to the [[UEFA Respect Fair Play ranking|Respect Fair Play ranking]], and starting from the 2016–17 season, the three Fair Play berths were no longer allocated to the Europa League.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.org/social-responsibility/news/newsid=2210098.html|title=New Respect Fair Play reward criteria|publisher=UEFA.org|date=16 February 2015}}</ref>

===Association ranking===
For the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2015 [[UEFA coefficient#Country coefficient|UEFA country coefficients]], which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2010–11 to 2014–15.<ref name="country coefficients">{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/season=2015/index.html|title=Country coefficients 2014/15|publisher=UEFA.com}}</ref><ref name="crank">{{cite web|url=http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/crank2015.html|title=UEFA Country Ranking 2015|publisher=Bert Kassies}}</ref>

Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations could have additional teams participating in the Europa League, as noted below:
*{{small|(CL)}} – Additional teams transferred from Champions League
*{{small|(EL)}} – Vacated berth due to Europa League title holders playing in Champions League

====Redistribution rules====
A Europa League place is vacated when a team qualifies for both the Champions League and the Europa League, or qualifies for the Europa League by more than one method. When a place is vacated, it is redistributed within the national association by the following rules (regulations Articles 3.03 and 3.04):<ref name="regulations"/>
*When the domestic cup winners (considered as the "highest-placed" qualifier within the national association with the latest starting round) also qualify for the Champions League, their Europa League place is vacated. As a result, the highest-placed team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions qualify for the Europa League, with the Europa League qualifiers which finish above them in the league moved up one "place".
*When the domestic cup winners also qualify for the Europa League through league position, their place through the league position is vacated. As a result, the highest-placed team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions qualify for the Europa League, with the Europa League qualifiers which finish above them in the league moved up one "place" if possible.
*For associations where a Europa League place is reserved for the League Cup winners, they always qualify for the Europa League as the "lowest-placed" qualifier. If the League Cup winners have already qualified for European competitions through other methods, this reserved Europa League place is taken by the highest-placed team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions.

In each group, teams play against each other home-and-away in a [[round-robin tournament|round-robin format]]. The group winners and runners-up advance to the [[#Knockout phase|round of 32]], where they are joined by the eight third-placed teams of the [[2016–17 UEFA Champions League#Group stage|2016–17 UEFA Champions League group stage]]. The matchdays are 15 September, 29 September, 20 October, 3 November, 24 November, and 8 December 2016.

|The teams are ranked according to [[Points (association football)|points]] (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied in the order given to determine the rankings (regulations Article 16.01):<ref name="regulations"/>
#higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question;
#superior [[goal difference]] from the group matches played among the teams in question;
#higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question;
#higher number of [[away goals rule|goals scored away from home]] in the group matches played among the teams in question;
#if, after having applied criteria 1 to 4, teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 4 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 6 to 12 apply;
#superior goal difference in all group matches;
#higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
#higher number of away goals scored in all group matches;
#higher number of wins in all group matches;
#higher number of away wins in all group matches;
#lower disciplinary points total based only on yellow and red cards received in all group matches (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);

==Knockout phase==
{{main article|2016–17 UEFA Europa League knockout phase}}

In the [[single-elimination tournament|knockout phase]], teams play against each other over [[two-legged tie|two legs]] on a home-and-away basis, except for the one-match final. The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:
*In the draw for the round of 32, the twelve group winners and the four third-placed teams from the Champions League group stage with the better group records are seeded, and the twelve group runners-up and the other four third-placed teams from the Champions League group stage are unseeded. The seeded teams are drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association cannot be drawn against each other.
*In the draws for the round of 16 onwards, there are no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association can be drawn against each other.

The '''2016–17 UEFA Champions League''' was the 62nd season of Europe's premier club [[association football|football]] tournament organised by [[UEFA]], and the 25th season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs' Cup to the [[UEFA Champions League]].

The [[2017 UEFA Champions League Final|final]] was played between [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]] and [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] at the [[Millennium Stadium]] in [[Cardiff]], Wales.<ref name="host">{{cite news |url=http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/33215755 |title=Champions League: Cardiff's Millennium Stadium to host 2017 final |publisher=BBC Sport |date=30 June 2015 |accessdate=30 June 2015}}</ref><ref name="host2">{{cite news |url=http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/newsid=2262032.html |title=Cardiff to host 2017 Champions League final |publisher=UEFA |date=30 June 2015 |accessdate=30 June 2015}}</ref> It was the second time that the two teams faced each other in the competition's decisive match, having previously met in the [[1998 UEFA Champions League Final|1998 final]]. Real Madrid, the [[2016 UEFA Champions League Final|defending champions]], beat Juventus 4–1 to win a record-extending 12th title. With this victory, Real Madrid became the first team to successfully defend their title in the Champions League era, and the first to do so since [[A.C. Milan|Milan]] in [[1990 European Cup Final|1990]].

Real Madrid qualified as the UEFA representative for the [[2017 FIFA Club World Cup]] in the United Arab Emirates, and also earned the right to play against the winners of the [[2016–17 UEFA Europa League]], [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]], in the [[2017 UEFA Super Cup]].

==Association team allocation==
A total of 78 teams from 53 of the 55 [[UEFA]] member associations were expected to participate in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League (the exceptions being [[Liechtenstein Football Association|Liechtenstein]], which does not organise a domestic league, and [[Football Federation of Kosovo|Kosovo]], whose participation was not accepted in their first attempt as UEFA members). The association ranking based on the [[UEFA coefficient#Country coefficient|UEFA country coefficients]] was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:<ref name="regulations">{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.org/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/Regulations/02/35/87/89/2358789_DOWNLOAD.pdf|title=Regulations of the UEFA Champions League 2016/17 Season|publisher=UEFA.com|date=4 March 2016}}</ref>
*Associations 1–3 each had four teams qualify.
*Associations 4–6 each had three teams qualify.
*Associations 7–15 each had two teams qualify.
*Associations 16–54 (except Liechtenstein) each had one team qualify.
*The winners of the [[2015–16 UEFA Champions League]] and [[2015–16 UEFA Europa League]] were each given an additional entry if they did not qualify for the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League through their domestic league. Because a maximum of five teams from one association can enter the Champions League, if both the Champions League title holders and the Europa League title holders were from the same top three ranked association and finish outside the top four of their domestic league, the fourth-placed team of their association would be moved to the Europa League.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/newsid=2215121.html|title=How the Europa League winners will enter the Champions League|publisher=UEFA.com|date=27 February 2015}}</ref> For this season:
**The winners of the [[2015–16 UEFA Champions League]], [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]], qualified through their domestic league, meaning the additional entry for the Champions League title holders was not necessary.
**The winners of the [[2015–16 UEFA Europa League]], [[Sevilla FC|Sevilla]], did not qualify through their domestic league, meaning the additional entry for the Europa League title holders was necessary.

===Association ranking===
For the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2015 [[UEFA coefficient#Country coefficient|UEFA country coefficients]], which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2010–11 to 2014–15.<ref name="country coefficients">{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/season=2015/index.html|title=Country coefficients 2014/15|publisher=UEFA.com}}</ref><ref name="crank">{{cite web|url=http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/crank2015.html|title=UEFA Country Ranking 2015|publisher=Bert Kassies}}</ref>

Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations could have additional teams participating in the Champions League, as noted below:

For the draw, the teams were seeded into four pots based on the following principles (introduced starting 2015–16 season):<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/29562047|title=Champions League: Domestic title winners to receive top-seed status|publisher=BBC Sport|date=9 October 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/newsid=2236360.html|title=Champions' bonus for group stage draw|publisher=UEFA.com|date=24 April 2015}}</ref>

*Pot 2, 3 and 4 contained the remaining teams, seeded based on their 2016 [[UEFA coefficient#Club coefficient|UEFA club coefficients]].<ref name="club coefficients"/><ref name="trank"/><ref name="seed"/>

In each group, teams play against each other home-and-away in a [[round-robin tournament|round-robin format]]. The group winners and runners-up advance to the [[#Knockout phase|round of 16]], while the third-placed teams enter the [[2016–17 UEFA Europa League#Knockout phase|2016–17 UEFA Europa League round of 32]].

The youth teams of the clubs that qualify for the group stage also play in the [[2016–17 UEFA Youth League]] on the same matchdays, where they compete in the [[2016–17 UEFA Youth League#UEFA Champions League Path|UEFA Champions League Path]] (the youth domestic champions of the top 32 associations compete in a separate Domestic Champions Path until the knockout phase).

A total of 17 national associations are represented in the group stage.

|The teams are ranked according to [[Points (association football)|points]] (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied in the order given to determine the rankings (regulations Article 17.01):<ref name="regulations"/>
#higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question;
#superior [[goal difference]] from the group matches played among the teams in question;
#higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question;
#higher number of [[away goals rule|goals scored away from home]] in the group matches played among the teams in question;
#if, after having applied criteria 1 to 4, teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 4 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 6 to 12 apply;

==Knockout phase==
{{main article|2016–17 UEFA Champions League knockout phase}}

In the [[single-elimination tournament|knockout phase]], teams play against each other over [[two-legged tie|two legs]] on a home-and-away basis, except for the one-match final. The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:
*In the draw for the round of 16, the eight group winners are seeded, and the eight group runners-up are unseeded. The seeded teams are drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association cannot be drawn against each other.
*In the draws for the quarter-finals onwards, there are no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association can be drawn against each other.

The '''2017 Supercopa de España''' was the 31st edition of the [[Supercopa de España]], an annual two-legged [[Association football|football]] tie contested by the winners of the previous season's [[La Liga]] and [[Copa del Rey]] competitions.

The tie was played in August 2017 between the winners of the [[2016–17 Copa del Rey]] and holders of the Supercopa, [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]], and the champions of the [[2016–17 La Liga]], [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]]. This was the first time since the [[2012 Supercopa de España|2012 edition]] that the Supercopa featured [[El Clásico]].

Real Madrid won the Supercopa de España 5–1 on aggregate for their 10th title.

==First leg==

===Summary===
The first half of the match ended goalless. Five minutes into the second half, [[Marcelo_(footballer,_born_1988)|Marcelo]] fired a cross that deflected off [[Gerard Piqué|Piqué's]] foot, resulting in an [[own goal#Association football|own goal]]. In the 77th minute, [[Luis Suárez]] was brought down in the box by [[Keylor Navas|Navas]], resulting in a penalty, which was subsequently converted by [[Lionel Messi|Messi]]. Messi's hit marked his 25th goal in the fixture.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.fcbarcelona.com/football/first-team/news/2017-2018/social-networks-leo-messi-and-luis-suarez-call-for-optimism|title=Leo Messi and Luis Suárez call for optimism|publisher=FCBarcelona.com|date=14 August 2017|accessdate=16 August 2017}}</ref> In the 80 minute, Real scored their second through a counter attack when [[Isco]] assisted [[Cristiano Ronaldo|Ronaldo]] who shot into the top right corner from the edge of the box. Ronaldo was booked for removing his shirt as part of his celebrations. Two minutes later he was booked again for a [[Diving (association football)|dive]] in the penalty box, which resulted in a [[red card (football)|red card]], therefore getting suspended for the second leg. Real's last goal was scored in the 90th minute in similar fashion to the second, when [[Marco Asensio|Asensio]] shot into the top left corner following an assist from [[Lucas Vázquez]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fcbarcelona.com/football/first-team/news/2017-2018/match-report-fc-barcelona-1-3-real-madrid-to-be-continued... |publisher=FCBarcelona.com |title=FC Barcelona 1-3 Real Madrid: To be continued... |date=13 August 2017 |accessdate=13 August 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.realmadrid.com/en/news/2017/08/1-3-a-real-madrid-exhibition-at-the-camp-nou|title=1-3: A Real Madrid exhibition at the Camp Nou {{!}} Real Madrid CF|work=Real Madrid C.F. - Web Oficial|accessdate=14 August 2017|language=en}}</ref>

'''Pantone Inc.''' is a corporation headquartered in [[Carlstadt, New Jersey]], USA.<ref>Horyn, Cathy. [https://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/20/fashion/20COLOR.html "Pantone's Color of the Year Is..."], ''[[The New York Times]]'', December 20, 2007. Accessed September 8, 2008. "Nonetheless, Pantone’s choice of blue iris, or No. 18-3943, got some news media attention last week, which seemed to be partly the objective of the company, which is based in Carlstadt, NJ."</ref> The company is best known for its '''Pantone Matching System''' ('''PMS'''), a [[patent|proprietary]] [[color space]] used in a variety of industries, primarily printing, though sometimes in the manufacture of colored paint, fabric, and plastics.

[[X-Rite]] Inc., a supplier of color measurement instruments and software, purchased Pantone Inc. for $180 million in October 2007.<ref>{{Citation | newspaper = Printing talk | url = http://www.printingtalk.com/news/xri/xri117.html | title = Pantone US$180m Acquisition Completion For X-Rite: News from X-Rite}}.</ref>

==Overview==
Pantone began in New York City in the 1950s as the commercial [[printer (publishing)|printing]] company of M & J Levine Advertising. In 1956, its founders, advertising executives brothers Mervin and Jesse Levine, hired recent [[Hofstra University]] graduate [[Lawrence Herbert]] as a part-time employee. Herbert used his chemistry knowledge to systematize and simplify the company's stock of [[pigment]]s and production of colored [[ink]]s; by 1962, Herbert was running the ink and printing division at a profit, while the commercial-display division was $50,000 in debt; he subsequently purchased the company's technological assets from the Levine Brothers for $90,000 ({{Inflation|USD|710,000|1962|r=-4|fmt=eq}}) and renamed them "Pantone".<ref>{{Citation | publisher = Funding universe | contribution-url = http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Pantone-Inc-Company-History.html | title = Company histories | contribution = Pantone Inc. History}}.</ref>

The company's primary products include the Pantone Guides, which consist of a large number of small (approximately 6×2 inches or 15×5 cm) thin [[Paperboard|cardboard]] sheets, printed on one side with a series of related [[Color chart#Color selection chart|color swatches]] and then bound into a small "fan deck". For instance, a particular "page" might contain a number of yellows of varying [[tint]]s.

The idea behind the PMS is to allow designers to "color match" specific colors when a design enters production stage, regardless of the equipment used to produce the color. This system has been widely adopted by graphic designers and reproduction and printing houses. Pantone recommends that PMS Color Guides be purchased annually, as their inks become yellowish over time.<ref>{{Citation | url = http://inksystemsinc.com/ | title = Senior Staff | type = interview | date = October 27, 2006 | publisher = Ink Systems, Inc}}.</ref> Color variance also occurs within editions based on the paper stock used (coated, matte or uncoated), while interedition color variance occurs when there are changes to the specific paper stock used.<ref>{{cite web | url= http://pantone.com/aboutus/aboutus.asp?idArticle=588&idPressRelease=190 | archive-url= https://archive.is/20130131020005/http://pantone.com/aboutus/aboutus.asp?idArticle=588&idPressRelease=190 | dead-url= yes | archive-date= 2013-01-31 |accessdate = 2007-02-23 | title=Pantone Press Release, 6 May 2004 | quote = Colors in the new formula guide and chips books have changed due to a shift to coated paper that is brighter and whiter}}.</ref>

==Pantone Color Matching System==

[[File:Pantone ColorSpecifier 1000 Yellow - Orange.pdf|thumb|Spectrum of Pantone Colors from Yellow to Orange]]
The Pantone Color Matching System is largely a standardized color reproduction system. By standardizing the colors, different manufacturers in different locations can all refer to the Pantone system to make sure colors match without direct contact with one another.

One such use is standardizing colors in the [[CMYK]] process. The CMYK process is a method of printing color by using four inks—cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. A majority of the world's printed material is produced using the CMYK process, and there is a special subset of Pantone colors that can be reproduced using CMYK.{{Citation needed| date = January 2011}} Those that are possible to simulate through the CMYK process are labeled as such within the company's guides.

However, most of the Pantone system's 1,114 [[spot color]]s cannot be simulated with CMYK but with 13 base pigments (14 including black) mixed in specified amounts.<ref name = patone2 />

[[File:SG50 logo.jpg|thumb|A logo commissioned by the [[Government of Singapore]] to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the nation's independence. The usage instructions for the logo described it as being in Pantone Red 032 and White.<ref>{{citation|title=Celebrating the Little Red Dot|url=https://www.singapore50.sg/SG50/About|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150318200600/https://www.singapore50.sg/SG50/About|archivedate=18 March 2015|publisher=SG50 Programme Office|year=2015}}.</ref>]]
The Pantone system also allows for many special colors to be produced, such as metallics and fluorescents. While most of the Pantone system colors are beyond the printed CMYK gamut, it was only in 2001 that Pantone began providing translations of their existing system with screen-based colors.

==Pantone Goe System==
On September 5, 2007, Pantone introduced the Goe System.<ref name=goesystem>{{Citation | url = http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/Pantone.aspx?pg=20494&ca=10 | title = Pantone Unveils Goe System | type = press release | quote = Over 2,000 new Pantone colors to inspire, explore and express the color of ideas | accessdate = September 5, 2007}}.</ref> Goe consisted of over 2,000 new colors in a new matching and numbering system. In addition to the standard swatch books (now called the GoeGuide), the new system also included adhesive-backed GoeSticks, interactive software, tools, and an online community where users were able to share color swatches and information.

The Goe system was streamlined to use fewer base colors (ten, plus clear coating for reflections) and accommodate many technical challenges in reproducing colors on a press.<ref name= patone2>{{Citation | publisher = Creative Pro | url = http://www.creativepro.com/article/pantone-2-0-after-45-years-the-sequel-to-pms- | title = Pantone 2.0: After 45 Years, the Sequel to PMS}}.</ref>

The Pantone Goe system was discontinued in November 2013.<ref name="pantone.com"/>

==Other products==
In mid-2006 Pantone, partnering with Vermont-based [[Fine Paints of Europe]], introduced a new line of interior and exterior paints. The color palette uses Pantone's color research and trending and has more than 3,000 colors.
In November 2015, Pantone partnered with Redland London to create a collection of bags inspired from Pantone's authority on color.

Pantone also produced [[Hexachrome]], a patented six-color printing system.<ref>{{Citation | url = http://patft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=5,734,800.PN.&OS=PN/5,734,800&RS=PN/5,734,800 | publisher = PTO | place = US | title = Patent | id = 5734800}}.</ref><ref>{{Citation | title = About us | type = press release | url = http://www.pantone.com/aboutus/aboutus.asp?idArticle=64&idPressRelease=38 | publisher = Pantone}}.</ref> In addition to custom CMYK inks, Hexachrome added orange and green inks to expand the color gamut, for better color reproduction.

The person behind Pantone's Color of the Year, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute [[Leatrice Eiseman]], explains in an interview how 2014's Color of the Year, Radiant Orchid, was chosen:
{{Quote | I look for ascending color trends, colors that are being used in broader ways and broader context than before... In this case, Radiant Orchid descends from the purple family, which is kind of a magical color that denotes creativity and innovation. Purple is just that kind of a complex, interesting, attracting kind of color... [The] back-story to purple is that it inspires confidence in your creativity, and we're living in a world where that kind of creative innovation is greatly admired. In the world of color, purple is an attention-getter, and it has a meaning. It speaks to people, and we felt that it was time for the purple family to be celebrated. That's why we chose the particular shade called Radiant Orchid. | [[Leatrice Eiseman]]<ref>{{cite web| last= Eiseman | first = Leatrice |title= Lee Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute | url= http://www.signazon.com/spotlight-lee-eiseman-part-1.aspx |work= Spotlight |publisher = Signazon |accessdate= 24 January 2014}}</ref>|source=}}

'''Pantone Inc.''' is a corporation headquartered in [[Carlstadt, New Jersey]], USA.<ref>Horyn, Cathy. [https://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/20/fashion/20COLOR.html "Pantone's Color of the Year Is..."], ''[[The New York Times]]'', December 20, 2007. Accessed September 8, 2008. "Nonetheless, Pantone’s choice of blue iris, or No. 18-3943, got some news media attention last week, which seemed to be partly the objective of the company, which is based in Carlstadt, NJ."</ref> The company is best known for its '''Pantone Matching System''' ('''PMS'''), a [[patent|proprietary]] [[color space]] used in a variety of industries, primarily printing, though sometimes in the manufacture of colored paint, fabric, and plastics.

[[X-Rite]] Inc., a supplier of color measurement instruments and software, purchased Pantone Inc. for $180 million in October 2007.<ref>{{Citation | newspaper = Printing talk | url = http://www.printingtalk.com/news/xri/xri117.html | title = Pantone US$180m Acquisition Completion For X-Rite: News from X-Rite}}.</ref>

==Overview==
Pantone began in New York City in the 1950s as the commercial [[printer (publishing)|printing]] company of M & J Levine Advertising. In 1956, its founders, advertising executives brothers Mervin and Jesse Levine, hired recent [[Hofstra University]] graduate [[Lawrence Herbert]] as a part-time employee. Herbert used his chemistry knowledge to systematize and simplify the company's stock of [[pigment]]s and production of colored [[ink]]s; by 1962, Herbert was running the ink and printing division at a profit, while the commercial-display division was $50,000 in debt; he subsequently purchased the company's technological assets from the Levine Brothers for $90,000 ({{Inflation|USD|710,000|1962|r=-4|fmt=eq}}) and renamed them "Pantone".<ref>{{Citation | publisher = Funding universe | contribution-url = http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Pantone-Inc-Company-History.html | title = Company histories | contribution = Pantone Inc. History}}.</ref>

The company's primary products include the Pantone Guides, which consist of a large number of small (approximately 6×2 inches or 15×5 cm) thin [[Paperboard|cardboard]] sheets, printed on one side with a series of related [[Color chart#Color selection chart|color swatches]] and then bound into a small "fan deck". For instance, a particular "page" might contain a number of yellows of varying [[tint]]s.

The idea behind the PMS is to allow designers to "color match" specific colors when a design enters production stage, regardless of the equipment used to produce the color. This system has been widely adopted by graphic designers and reproduction and printing houses. Pantone recommends that PMS Color Guides be purchased annually, as their inks become yellowish over time.<ref>{{Citation | url = http://inksystemsinc.com/ | title = Senior Staff | type = interview | date = October 27, 2006 | publisher = Ink Systems, Inc}}.</ref> Color variance also occurs within editions based on the paper stock used (coated, matte or uncoated), while interedition color variance occurs when there are changes to the specific paper stock used.<ref>{{cite web | url= http://pantone.com/aboutus/aboutus.asp?idArticle=588&idPressRelease=190 | archive-url= https://archive.is/20130131020005/http://pantone.com/aboutus/aboutus.asp?idArticle=588&idPressRelease=190 | dead-url= yes | archive-date= 2013-01-31 |accessdate = 2007-02-23 | title=Pantone Press Release, 6 May 2004 | quote = Colors in the new formula guide and chips books have changed due to a shift to coated paper that is brighter and whiter}}.</ref>

==Pantone Color Matching System==

The Pantone Color Matching System is largely a standardized color reproduction system. By standardizing the colors, different manufacturers in different locations can all refer to the Pantone system to make sure colors match without direct contact with one another.

One such use is standardizing colors in the [[CMYK]] process. The CMYK process is a method of printing color by using four inks—cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. A majority of the world's printed material is produced using the CMYK process, and there is a special subset of Pantone colors that can be reproduced using CMYK.{{Citation needed| date = January 2011}} Those that are possible to simulate through the CMYK process are labeled as such within the company's guides.

However, most of the Pantone system's 1,114 [[spot color]]s cannot be simulated with CMYK but with 13 base pigments (14 including black) mixed in specified amounts.<ref name = patone2 />

The Pantone system also allows for many special colors to be produced, such as metallics and fluorescents. While most of the Pantone system colors are beyond the printed CMYK gamut, it was only in 2001 that Pantone began providing translations of their existing system with screen-based colors. Screen-based colors use the [[RGB color model]]—red, green, blue—system to create various colors.<ref name = patoneRGB>{{Citation | url = http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/pantone.aspx?pg=20136&ca=10 | title = Pantone announces RGB conversions for Pantone system | type = press release | quote = Providing Designers with simple and accurate methods for recreating Pantone Matching System colors in Web designs}}.</ref> The (discontinued)<ref name="pantone.com">http://www.pantone.com/goe</ref> Goe system has RGB and [[Lab color space|LAB]] values with each color.

The person behind Pantone's Color of the Year, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute [[Leatrice Eiseman]], explains in an interview how 2014's Color of the Year, Radiant Orchid, was chosen:
{{Quote | I look for ascending color trends, colors that are being used in broader ways and broader context than before... In this case, Radiant Orchid descends from the purple family, which is kind of a magical color that denotes creativity and innovation. Purple is just that kind of a complex, interesting, attracting kind of color... [The] back-story to purple is that it inspires confidence in your creativity, and we're living in a world where that kind of creative innovation is greatly admired. In the world of color, purple is an attention-getter, and it has a meaning. It speaks to people, and we felt that it was time for the purple family to be celebrated. That's why we chose the particular shade called Radiant Orchid. | [[Leatrice Eiseman]]<ref>{{cite web| last= Eiseman | first = Leatrice |title= Lee Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute | section = Part 1| url= http://www.signazon.com/spotlight-lee-eiseman-part-1.aspx |work= Spotlight |publisher = Signazon |accessdate= 24 January 2014}}</ref>}}

The '''Love Symbol Album''' is the fourteenth [[studio album]] by American recording artist [[Prince (musician)|Prince]], and the second of two that featured his backing band [[The New Power Generation]]. It was released on October 13, 1992 by [[Paisley Park Records]] and [[Warner Bros. Records]].<ref name=Discogs>{{cite web |url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Prince+%26+The+New+Power+Generation |title=Prince & The New Power Generation Discography |publisher=[[Discogs]] |accessdate={{date|2009-04-15}}}}</ref> The official title of the album is an unpronounceable symbol depicted on its cover art, that was [[copyright]]ed under the title "Love Symbol #2" and adopted as Prince's stage name in 1993. Hence, the album is referred to as the ''Love Symbol Album'', or alternatively, '''''Symbol Album''''' or '''''Symbol'''''.<ref name="cp-formerlyknown">{{Cite news|first=Andrew|last=Carter|url=http://www.citypages.com/1999-06-23/news/the-people-formerly-known-as-fans/|title=The People Formerly Known as Fans|work=CityPages|date=June 23, 1999|accessdate=December 12, 2007}}</ref>

The album contains elements of musical styles including [[funk]], [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]], [[Hip hop music|hip hop]], [[jazz]], [[reggae]], and [[synthpop]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.discogs.com/Prince-The-New-Power-Generation-Untitled-Symbol/release/1662802 |title=Prince And The New Power Generation* – Untitled (Symbol) |publisher=[[Discogs]] |accessdate={{date|2009-04-16}}}}</ref> The album was originally conceived as a "fantasy rock soap opera" with various spoken [[segue]]s throughout.<ref>{{Cite news | last =Willman| first = Chris| title = Prince's Latest Fleshed-Out Fantasy| newspaper = [[Los Angeles Times]] | date = {{date|October 11, 1992}} |publisher=Tribune Company |issn=0458-3035 |oclc=3638237 |url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/access/61717569.html?dids=61717569:61717569&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Oct+11%2C+1992&author=CHRIS+WILLMAN&pub=Los+Angeles+Times+(pre-1997+Fulltext)&desc=Prince's+Latest+Fleshed-Out+Fantasy+**+PRINCE+%26+THE+N.P.G.+%22(genders+merging+symbol)+%22+Paisley+Park%2FWarner+Bros.&pqatl=google}}</ref> The album's first two singles, "[[My Name Is Prince]]" and "[[Sexy MF]]", achieved modest success on the U.S. pop chart, though both made the top ten in the United Kingdom. Conversely, the third single, "[[7 (song)|7]]", was not as successful as the first two singles in the United Kingdom, but was a top ten hit in the United States.

== Storyline ==
An early configuration of the album contained as many as eight segues as well as an intro. Together they explained the album's storyline.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dawnation.com/menu4/special-lovesymbol92.html |title=The lost album segues / original version |publisher=dawnation.com}}</ref> However, in a last-minute attempt to add an additional song ("I Wanna Melt with U", which was originally considered to be a B-side to the "7" maxi single, and which contains several sampled sounds also present in "7"), most of the segues had to be cut for album length. The few that remained were somewhat confusing in context. The unreleased segues have been bootlegged since.

The album debuts [[Mayte Garcia]], who plays a part in the album's storyline and would become Prince's wife in 1996.

''[[3 Chains o' Gold]]'', a direct-to-video film produced and directed by Prince, was released in 1994. The film is based on the storyline and songs of the ''Love Symbol Album'' and contains some of the original segues which were planned to be on the album.

== Comment about purple and violet==

Purple is a color — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Luke of the Underworld|Luke of the Underworld]] ([[User talk:Luke of the Underworld|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Luke of the Underworld|contribs]]) 14:35, 22 February 2013 (UTC) 

PURPLE AND VIOLET ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE DIFFERENT. IN FACT, THEY ARE THE SAME
(but only according to the widest of the three definitions of "purple").
By error the same article called: 'Purple, the colour from the sea' has been listed three times
:Merge all in PURPLE - it is correct colour name for lock colour circle. [[User:Alexandrov|Alexandrov]] 14:42, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

::This web page, [[http://www.flower-arrangement-advisor.com/color-basics-for-florists.html]], contains a color circle that agrees with this viewpoint - a red-yellow-blue color circle that shows three colors spanning the space from blue to red, calling them blue-violet, violet, and red-violet. (I've encountered another one with that series of names elsewhere too.) In current usage, the term violet refers to hues corresponding to the extreme blue spectral colors (although I wouldn't be surprised if some of the nonspectral purples closest to the blue end are also included), and beyond that one gets purple (which some people reserve for shades close to "royal purple", specifically excluding mauve and fuchsia - which are included in the article as shades of purple, even though there's no reference to those names or their articles).

::Magenta, similarly, is used to refer to extreme spectral reds. But it's also used to refer to process magenta. Ideally, that should be the same shade as fuchsia: #FF00FF. In fact, magenta inks absorb a considerable amount of blue light, and so they're closer to red. And there are other inconsistencies in color nomenclature: one color wheel I came across shows scarlet as coming between red and crimson - that is, the sequence being red, scarlet, crimson, magenta... towards purple and blue - whereas current pigment names use the term "scarlet" for a red with a slight tinge or orange - thus being next to red in the other direction. So Wikipedia should use current best practice, and if that means it's inconsistent with the color nomenclature some may be familiar with from elsewhere, that is unavoidable. --[[User:Quadibloc|Quadibloc]] ([[User talk:Quadibloc|talk]]) 10:40, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

:::Here are a few other pages with color wheels with that terminology: [[http://bwatt.info/artroom/painting/colourwheel.php]], an art site (note that the phrase, "tertiary colors" appears), [[http://www.tpub.com/content/draftsman/14263/css/14263_88.htm]], a site for drafting professionals (and we see "tertiary colors" again!), and [[http://www.clipartpress.com/6]] this site even gives Cornell University as the source for its color wheel! So the use of "violet" to mean "purple" does appear to be almost a standard in some segment of the world of art. I haven't been able to locate where the terminology originated, however, even with the term "tertiary colors" as a clue. --[[User:Quadibloc|Quadibloc]] ([[User talk:Quadibloc|talk]]) 10:51, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

== Purple in Royalty ==

Actually Purple in royalty clothings is nos a violet-like color, but actually a blood-red shade

I think purple was found by the Phoenicians (Lebanese now)and you article Murex prove this, below is what your article say:

Costly and labor-intensive dyes Tyrian purple (or royal purple) and Tekhelet were historically made by the ancient Phoenicians using mucus from the hypobranchial gland of two species commonly referred to as "murex", Murex brandaris and Murex trunculus, which are the older names for Haustellum brandaris and the Hexaplex trunculus.

This dye was used in royal robes, other kinds of special ceremonial or ritual garments, or garments indicating high rank. That is since it is the only occurrence of the color purple in the natural world. It featured prominently in the ancient Temple in Jerusalem, the clothing of the High Priest (or Kohen Gadol) officiating there; it is sometimes still used by Jews today in the ritual fringes (tzitzit) on four-cornered garments.[1]

All this stems from a confusion between a technical term (Violet I): "violet as the most extreme colour of the spectrum" — also called "blue" (and indeed empirical research shows many people(s) call this blue) and a term from common usage (Violet II): "violet as a hue of purple that is more blueish". This confusion is made worse by the deplorable habit of artists to ''paint'' spectra that are grossly incorrect in that they show a purple (Violet II) hue sector next to the blue (Violet I) one and the deplorable nature of Nature to rarely show us a correct spectrum. Rainbows in particular can be very deceptive, often daring to flaunt a reddish purple ;o).--[[User:MWAK|MWAK]] 05:44, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

i have added a tag noting the absence of references for the supposed purple/violet distinction. to my limited knowledge, i have never seen any such distinction outside of wikipedia. the best (albeit loosest) explanation i have ever heard is that human brains do not or cannot distinguish between the visible color with the wavelength closest to UV and the color that arises from mixing blue and red.[[User:Ctj|ctj]] ([[User talk:Ctj|talk]]) 18:59, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

::This all seems nonsense. When you mix blue and yellow, you get green, the color in the middle of the visible spectrum (also, the color immediately between yellow and blue on that spectrum, logically representing a blurring of those two colors and/or the transition between them). Same goes for orange, which comes between red and yellow in the spectrum, and represents a blurring or transition between them. As anyone with a normal, basic, 3-year-old's color wheel will tell you, purple (also known as violet) is the color between red and blue, also the color made by combining them. It's the same thing - combining colors or looking at the transition between them on the spectrum.
::If violet and purple are completely separate concepts, i.e. one is a spectral color and one is not, then maybe there's a difference between red and crimson, between blue and azure, between green and verdure. Because ultimately, it's all about semantics. No word has an inherent meaning to it; only the meaning we associate with it.

Indigo and violet must be blues while one happens to be closer to purple.

Purple comes from Greek "porphyra." Yellow has been the imperial color through most of China's history as the color is tied to earth.

[[User:Jimp|Jimp]] 06:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I would take objection to the phrase "violet light varies solely by wavelength", which seems to imply that violet is a single wavelength. Violet is any spectral distribution the bulk of whose wavelengths are shorter than those characteristic of blue light. Also there is no hard line between violet and purple -- violet gradually shades into purple as long (red) wavelengths gradually enter the spectrum, becoming red when the short wavelengths become negligible. It should also be noted somewhere that, at least for primates, perceptual color space is only a tiny 3-dimensional subspace of infinite-dimensional spectral color space -- the projection of the latter onto the former identifies many physically distinct colors that are perceptually identical. Some birds perceive four dimensions, other creatures only two or even one (brightness perception only). It is difficult to reason reliably about the nature of color without a good grasp of these distinctions. [[User:Vaughan Pratt|Vaughan Pratt]] 18:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

== Non-parseable sentence ==
I think someone accidentally cut a line out of the following:
"Purple as one of the liturgical colors in Christian symbolism can express sorrow and mourning.(symbolized by blue and red,
respectively), as opposed to the more common coalitions of the Christian center-party with one of the other two. From 1994–2002 there
have been two purple cabinets—see also Politics of the Netherlands and Paars (the Dutch word for "purple")."
This maks no sense!

== Another poorly worded statement ==
After some thought, i figured out what is meant by the final sentence under ''Aubergine'':
"It is interesting to note that the red and blue values of this color are an opposite mirror to those of the color 'generic purple' shown above.
What this means is that Generic Purples RGB values are flipped to get Aubergine. This statement adds very little, if any, value to the article since RGB space is neither an absolute nor linear color space.

== Between blue and red ==

The lead sentence uses the phrase "between blue and red", but that assumes a model of color ordering. On the spectrum, after all, the colors between blue and red are green, yellow, and orange. I think the real meaning may be a reference to human perception, where purples (including violet) are colors seen as similar to blue and red; or maybe it is just referring to the color wheel (a concept based on human perception also).

== medieval history of purple ==
The article says "(The working class wore mainly green and brown.)". It's a minor point, but a major misconception that green dye was easy to obtain and thus cheap enough for the working class. Good greens such as Lincoln green were obtained by overdying yellow dye with blue dye (woad/indigo) or vice-versa. Thus such good greens were more expensive than blue, which was in itself one of the more expensive colours, second only to purple and some rich reds. Grey was the medieval term for undyed, which was the cloth most peasants would wear. Next rung of cheapest colours are yellows, of which there are many sources in nature (weld and dyers greenweed were the main commercial ones). Madder red was a bit more expensive, but could probably be afforded by theworking classes for their better tunic, especially washed out reds such as could be obtained from exhausted dye baths.
There are some herbs which will produce greenish dye (as opposed to the "good green" I discussed earlier), producing a greenish yellow, brownish green, or grey-green, that would be available to farmwives, but it seems more likely yellows were preferred as they produce clearer colours.
Brown is a colour that covered a much wider spectrum of shades in medieval times than now, as far as I can tell. With purple referring only to tyrian purple, other colours, like that obtained by overdying red with blue (which definately happened, especially with woad + logwood or brazilwood), might be referred to as brown, while we would refer to it as purple. So there would be cheap browns - naturally brown coloured wool, and expensive browns, and probably all kinds of expenses in between. So I guess brown isn't an easy thing to say the working class wore either. "The working class wore undyed garments and colours like yellow, orange, pale red." might be better.

There also is medieval dye orchil, which makes a shade of mauve or lilac (and sometimes even magenta). Made from lichen (+ammonia), it is more likely to have been available to farm wives as well as to the rich. But they never would have called it purple, although I do today. It is found a lot in clothing from "viking" Dublin.

I'm sorry I can't provide references for this, it's information garnered from a variety of sources, a bit here, a bit there, and like most medeival studies, is only generalisms, since no one practise was used everywhere.

The concept of when purple became a colour instead of a shade might be worth exploring here too.

:Thanks for your comments. I didn't remove it, but I certainly would have. Why would we want a link to a blank purple page? Why would it be "used by techs to see if internet access is working"?

I don't think purple.com is worth a mention in the main article since, as noted above, it is basically a blank purple page and doesn't actually add anything to a person's understanding of the color or word. It might (or might not) belong in an article about troubleshooting internet access or internet devices. The previous post (from over seven years ago) asked why techs would use the site to see if internet access is working. As one of those techs, I can answer that question, but I do not have any external references that can be cited. There are several reasons why purple.com is used for this purpose: First, the site is easy to type and spell. This is useful when we want a customer to test internet connectivity -- we need to be sure that the name of the test site was not misspelled, and the word is very easy to spell, and is difficult to misunderstand. Second, when troubleshooting internet access, we want to be sure that we are not seeing a cached website, and the odds that a customer has ever visited purple.com are very low. Yes, there are other ways to do this, such as clearing the cache, but that can have unintended consequences (like a ten-minute side-conversation explaining to a novice computer user what this does and how to find the right setting to do it). In addition to this, the site (as it currently appears, and has appeared for many years) is not full of ads, scripts, or other content that use up bandwidth, so even the slowest of devices and connections will quickly show a purple screen if it is working correctly. This is especially helpful when we are troubleshooting devices over the phone and need the customer to tell us what they see.

:[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Purple&diff=147500846&oldid=147291750 Referring to this edit]

It appears to me that a good part of the removals were trivia and indeed deserved to be removed. However I am concerned that certain areas that ''might'' be notable, such as cryptography, food, music as well as military related, have been removed. I realise that by only mentioning these few fields, in fact this entire concern could be labelled [[WP:ILIKEIT]], however I am simply referring to areas where the information was well supported by the actual articles, for example [[murasaki]], [[Purple Heart]] and the music references.

Could another editor have a look at the page and figure out if any of those removals should actually be re-included?

== Inconsistency concerning artist's red-violet, pigment violet, and process magenta ==

In the section "Historical development of purple," subsection "Artists Pigment Purple (Red-Violet) (web color Medium Violet Red): 1930s", the article says that "artist's red-violet" lies between "pigment violet" and "process magenta." A similar statement appears in the main article on the color [[red-violet]]. However, these statements contradict the HSV (and so RGB) values listed in these and other articles: Hue([[Red-violet|artist's red-violet]])=322°, Hue([[Violet (color)#Variations of violet|pigment violet]])=282°, and Hue([[Magenta#Historical development of magenta|process magenta]])=320°. It seems to me that the most likely source of the inconsistency is the assertion that the '''web color [[red-violet]] (Hex triplet #C71585)''' is in fact the same as the '''color that [[Munsell color system]] calls purple''' (where artists use the word ''purple'' the way Munsell does). Can anyone check if ''web color [[red-violet]]'' on the one hand and ''Munsell's color purple'' on the other are, in fact, the same color—or, as I suspect, not? If they are in fact the same, then how should we resolve the inconsistency mentioned above?

[[User:Reuqr|Reuqr]] 02:55, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

:They can't possibly be the same, since Munsell colors are not RGB colors like Web colors are. Like most junk in color articles, this stuff is all unsourced, just somebody's interpretations of what they see. [[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]] 05:05, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

::I'm not sure I understand what you say in your first sentence. As best as I can tell, you may be saying one of two things.
:::(1) Are you saying that ''it would be a miracle'' if the people who were choosing web colors ''just happened'' to pick ''exactly'' (i.e. to within three significant digits in, say, sRGB space) a color from Munsell's atlas? If this is what you mean, then let me modify my original question: just how far off are Munsell's purple and web red-violet, say in terms of the differences between their HSV (as computed from sRGB) hue degrees and S and V percentages? For example, process magenta's hue (as it is reported in [[Magenta|magenta]] article) is only 2° away from red-violet's.
:::(2) Or are you saying something more radical: that no web color can ''even in principle'' be the same as a Munsell color, because they somehow refer to different things—in other words, because there is a fundamental ''incomensurability'' between any CIE-based standard like sRGB on the one hand and the Munsell standard on the other? If ''that's'' your statement, then I guess I disagree. After all, as early as 1919 the National Bureau of Standards performed measurements of 15 chips from Munsell's 1915 atlas, and CIE tristimulus values were calculated at a later date. Then in 1926 additional 70 samples were measured, with CIE values computed by 1946. The 1929 ''Munsell Book of Color'' and the various subsequent "renotations" were very much studied, and connections to CIE tristimulus values—even under diverse viewing conditions—are known. All this is from Rolf G. Kuehni, ''Color Space and Its Divisions: Color Order from Antiquity to the Present'' (Wiley, Hoboken, N.J., 2003), pp. 274-279. The only way sRGB can fail to describe a Munsell color (to within uncertainties coming from variations of viewing conditions) is if that Munsell color is out of sRGB gamut. On the other hand, I suppose if we are talking about the 1919 atlas, there is also the issue that we would need to interpolate if the color in question is not one of the 85 measured ones.
::Note that the issue is not that red-violet's 322° is not strictly within the 282°-320° interval; it would be almost as bad if red-violet's hue were 318°, and so strictly within the interval. The issue is rather that red-violet does not seem to be even close to being in the middle of the interval between pigment violet and process magenta. [[User:Reuqr|Reuqr]] 19:42, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm saying more like the second. You can't say whether a given RGB color is the same as a given Munsell color, without more specific specifications. If the X11 color, rendered according to sRGB spec, is the same chromaticity as the Munsell chip under a D65 illuminant, or something like that, that would be interesting to know, but it seems unlikely. Is there a source? [[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]] 20:13, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

:At the very least, there are many sources that study the reflectance spectra of Munsell chips. One that is in the public domain is at [http://www.it.lut.fi/ip/research/color/database/download.html]. The server was awfully slow when I tried to access the links with the ASCII data files; I had better luck with [http://www.it.lut.fi/ip/research/color/demonstration/demonstration.html]; click the squares for reflectance data. This website is cited in, for instance,

Negueruela, "Use of three tristimulus values from surface reflectance spectra to calculate the principal components for reconstructing these spectra by using only three eigenvectors," J. Opt. Soc. Am. A ''23,'' 2020-2026 (2006) (abstract: [http://www.opticsinfobase.org/abstract.cfm?URI=josaa-23-8-2020]; the article cites the website above as Ref. 24).

:One of the classic sources—also cited in the paper above—seems to be

:The Kuehni book I mentioned above lists a bunch of other sources. You can browse it ("search inside"), if you have an amazon.com account (used at least once to purchase something from amazon.com itself), here: [http://www.amazon.com/Color-Space-Its-Divisions-Antiquity/dp/0471326704/ref=sr_1_1/105-6564924-8681229?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1188615104&sr=1-1].

:Incidentally, I now realize that these sources may give enough information to settle the very question I posed. But to really settle it, I would first need the answer to the following: was I wrong in the identification of the Munsell's color in my initial posting? That is,

::''What is the identity—in the Munsell system—of the Munsell color to which the Wikipedia article is referring? Is it in fact'' '''5RP 5/12'''?

:Having realized my probable mistake above, now I don't understand something else. Look at this statement in the article:
::''…professional artists, following Munsell color system… regard purple as being synonymous with the red-violet color shown at right, in order to clearly distinguish purple from violet…''
:In what sense are artists supposed to be "following Munsell" here? Obviously not in nomenclature. Is it the case that the artists do use Munsell's colors in their work, but change the names (e.g. ''Munsell's purple'' → ''artist's violet'', and ''Munsell's red-purple'' → ''artist's purple'')? I'd rewrite this if I understood what is attempted to be said here.
:[[User:Reuqr|Reuqr]] 04:52, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

:There is a fundamental problem in comparing colors produced by different additive combinations of red, green, and blue light to the color of an object. It is true that a standard illuminant must be specified. However, usually there is a standard illuminant which is used, so that the Munsell colors do, in fact, have CIE chromaticity values assigned to them.

:Since these pages will be displaying on CRTs or LCD screens, if we illustrate Munsell colors, we have no choice but to convert them to RGB color, and there is an accepted way of doing this. --[[User:Quadibloc|Quadibloc]] ([[User talk:Quadibloc|talk]]) 21:54, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

== Offensive and false. ==

The term porphyrophobia means an irrational fear of the color purple."

I find that offensive, my fear is not "irrational" infact, I say anybody who is not frightened by purple is mindless and insane. Purple is responsible for all car accidents and stangulations. Also is it mere coincidence violet become "Violent" with a simple "n" added? No. Find a violent TV scene with no purple in the background.

* In terms of clinical psychology, your fear of purple would only be considered irrational if the reasons you gave for fearing it were judged [[delusion]]al or willfully incorrect. Otherwise, you wouldn't be diagnosed with a phobia.

Porphyrophobia is an intense fear of something that poses no actual danger.

==Other rhymes with purple==

Besides curple, there is hirple. It means to limp. It's in the OED and dates from the fifteenth century. Scottish in origin, just like the other one. Since Orange has rhymes with quorange and grorange, this should make purple and orange even... I have to note though that there is also "purple nurple" where nurple is a quorange to stand in for a "nipple." There is also "urple" which is slang for purple prose fan fiction. Those should put Purple in the lead over orange, but I assure you, they both have rhymes. You can also rhyme orange with the French origin... "l'orange" and "d'orange" or even au orange.

I am concerned by the amount of trivia, lists, and sections that add no useful information in the section of Purple "In culture and society." For example:
*Do we need a quote by Alice Walker saying "Womanist is to feminist as purple is to lavender?" What does that mean? What is the context? What does it say about purple? I think this belongs in an article on feminism, but not here.
*Do we need a list of every song or record company that includes the word Purple? What does this have to do with the color? It's just a long list of trivia.
*Do we need to know that there is a woman in Tiburon, California who is called "The Purple Lady?" I like the town of Tiburon, but I think this is trivia and has nothing to do with the color itself.
*Do we need three different references to Prince and Purple Rain three different sections? I think in the history section is enough. This belongs in the article on Prince, not the article on purple.
*Do we need a list of every sports team, college and university that has purple as a team color? This is information about those teams, not about the color. Again, this is a list of trivia and doesn't belong in this article.
*Do we need a separate section that tells us that a chart made by Timothy Leary in 1976 uses a shade of purple? What does that have to do with the color?
*Do we need a list of eight public transport lines that use the color purple, with details about each line? What does this have to do with the color?

I tried to do cleanup of this section so that it was comparable to the articles on other colors, but my edits were reverted by editor Keraunos, with no explantation. I wish he would explain why he feels the information above should be in this article. I also hope we can all work together to improve this article, and make it focus on the color and its history, uses and meaning, not an assortment of trivia and lists of everything with the word 'purple' in its name. Please write here if you agree, and if you have other ideas to improve this article. Thank you!

Also this page should mention that Roman Purple is now called Crimson, since the Romans called it Purple it is accurate to put on this page but I think that it should be mentioned just so readers have an idea what Roman Purple looked like.[[User:SouthernResidentOrca|SouthernResidentOrca]] ([[User talk:SouthernResidentOrca|talk]]) 06:17, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Good Observations. There is a lot of duplication in images between the purple and violet page, because the cultural difference isn't as clear as the scientific difference. A lot of colors commonly called purple are really violet, but that's part of the history of purple, and far more people read the page about purple than read the page about violet. As to the Tyrian or Roman purple, I think it varied widely in color from dark purple to crimson. The paintings and mosaics illustrating a Roman and Emperor Justinian and Empress Theodora show it as a dark bluish purple. The illustration of the swatch of color made from murex recently shows it as a much lighter color, but not what I would call crimson exactly. I've been looking for a contemporary Roman or Byzantine image that shows Tyrian purple as a crimson color but I haven't found one yet. The French definition of purple is much closer to crimson than the British-American version. [[User:SiefkinDR|SiefkinDR]] ([[User talk:SiefkinDR|talk]]) 10:22, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

:To my eyes Catholic bishops wear magenta robes, not purple. I guess this just shows how personally and culturally subjective colour perception is, making it difficult to write encyclopaedic articles. [[User:Gymnophoria|Gymnophoria]] ([[User talk:Gymnophoria|talk]]) 11:53, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

The current page has the following error: "The word for purple Is murasaki, which is also the name of the wisteria flower". While the word for purple is murasaki, the flower of that name is the purple gromwell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithospermum_purpurocaeruleum). The word for wisteria is "fuji".

There's a typo in the last sentence of the 3rd paragraph of the "Tyrian Purple" section:

The exact hue varied '''betweewwn''' crimson and violet, but it was always rich, bright and lasting.

Should be '''between'''.

Two questions:
# What did actually mean the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' when described the purple as {{cquote|1=a deep, rich shade between [[crimson]] and [[violet (color)|violet]]}}
#: ? (Hint: is [[magenta|electric magenta]] actually a [[tints and shades|tint or shade]] of something?)

[[User:Incnis Mrsi|Incnis Mrsi]] ([[User talk:Incnis Mrsi|talk]]) 09:40, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

The full definition of purple in the OED is: "of the colour purple, of a deep rich shade between crimson and violet." I added a new reference to two other definitions as well. But purple is certainly a color, even if its not a color of the spectrum. [[User:SiefkinDR|SiefkinDR]] ([[User talk:SiefkinDR|talk]]) 13:10, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

*well, to #1, I have no earthly idea, but [[tints and shades]] is probably the closest. Number two, I don't know. I made the redirect [[shade (color)]] the other day, and maybe that works better. '''I have no idea whatsoever about what precisely constitutes a shade''' and so I thought a wikilink would really help. You tell me, but we shouldn't leave a technical term like that unwikilinked. [[User:Red Slash|Red ]][[User talk:Red Slash|Slash]] 19:59, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
*: See what SiefkinDR said above. The word “shade” is either erroneous or superfluous, depending on what exactly thought the author, and does not help to understand what “purple” is. The purple is primarily a [[hue]], but sources like OED avoided this term because it is less-known. If you explain how the concept of [[shade (color)]] can help to understand the OED’s “definition”, then you may install this link.

==Unsourced statements==
Every single unsourced statement of fact should be removed, placed here on the talk page, and kept here until a source is found. its not as urgent as unsourced statements in biographies of living persons, but it still needs to be done. removing them to the talk page at least keeps them as reminders of a possible addition to the article, and thus the idea is not "lost". hopefully, no editor would reinsert such statments into the article without adding a source. even the most obvious statements should be sourced.(mercurywoodrose)[[Special:Contributions/50.193.19.66|50.193.19.66]] ([[User talk:50.193.19.66|talk]]) 23:54, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

== Purple indicates withstanding of oppression ==

A noteworthy use of purple was that of the South African police to put down protest gatherings and capture the protesters no matter where they fled to. Not only was the crowd sprayed with high-pressure jets of water, as happened in the American South during the Civil Rights campaign, but purple dye was added to the water, which kept fast to the clothing. As purple was not a very popular wardrobe color, they could be spotted as having participated, and subsequently arrested. I wonder if this has anything to do with Prince's "Purple Rain" works.

== Statement about violet and indigo being "between red and blue" ==

I just saw this unsourced statement in the subsection "In science and nature"/"The optics of purple": "The spectral colors violet and indigo are not purples according to color theory but they are purples according to common English usage since they are between red and blue." That last part of the sentence contradicts the previously stated fact that violet and indigo are not between red and blue but rather true colors at the end of the color spectrum. I suggest either removing this sentence because it is unsourced, or finding some sources and rephrasing it so that the statement no longer clashes with the rest of the article.

==The new montage=
Thank you, Andros, for the new montage, it's vivid and great improvement over the old one. The idea of the new montages for the other colors is to illustrate the role of the colors in art, history, science and human culture. In the other montages, almost all the images come directly from the article. The idea of those montages is to draw the reader into the article, to draw his attention to the the history and symbolism of the color. Almost all the images in the other montages are taken directly from the article, so the reader can find them by looking down through the article. I just have two suggestions on this montage; why the red onions? They don't look particularly purple, and they're not mentioned in the article. How about an eggplant or another more purple fruit or vegetable? Or maybe grapes are enough as far as fruits and vegetables. Also, I don't see the importance of Prince's costume. What does that tell us about the color and its uses? Why not an image from history, or about royalty, or about purple as a symbol of the feminist movement, or about another topic discussed in the article? Thanks again for your good work, and best regards, [[User:SiefkinDR|SiefkinDR]] ([[User talk:SiefkinDR|talk]]) 19:15, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
:Prince is mentioned in the article and is notable for the color purple, so I thought it would be relevant. As for the red onions, I personally thought both a fruit and a vegetable should be included, since there is a section about plants in general. I personally think the Prince outfit should stay, but the red onions could perhaps be replaced by something else.

I don't think this is a Heian era kimono. The archetypal kimono worn at that time period consists of multiple, vast layers. The woman is also sporting a large obi, which is also past the Heian period. The woman walking with her is wearing a mostly contemporary kimono.

Fall Out Boy rocketed to emo/pop-punk stardom, going from a nameless band in 2000 to winning the MTV2 Award at MTV's Video Music Award in 2005 for their popular first single "Sugar, We're Going Down" from the album From Under the Cork Tree. Comprised of lead singer, bassist, and lyricist Peter Wentz, guitarists Patrick Stump and Joe Trohman, and drummer Andy Hurley, Fall Out Boy has combined success with a large dose of irreverence. **Note: May not be reliable because they got Fall Out Boy's lineup wrong...**
Wentz, Stump, Trohman, and Hurley performed as a nameless band until one night they asked the crowd they were performing for to give them a name. Stump told Joe Kominowski of DrivenFarOff.com that "it was kind of an accident." What they got was a reference to a character named Fallout Boy, which came from the popular animated series The Simpsons, and it subsequently became the name for their band.
In 2002 Fall Out Boy released a split album with Project Rocket on Uprising Records. This was followed a year later by Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girlfriend, an EP released by Uprising Records. It turned out to be an eventful year for the group, as they were signed to the Gainesville, Florida, label Fueled By Ramen. At the same time, the group signed a distribution deal with Island Records, which also included a right of first refusal for the band's follow-up record.
Take This To Your Grave was recorded in Madison, Wisconsin, at Smart Studios. Sean O'Keefe, who had produced pop-punk favorites like Motion City Soundtrack, engineered Fall Out Boy's major label debut. Take This To Your Grave was mostly written out of the anger and hurt that Wentz experienced when he discovered his girlfriend had cheated on him, but while the songs are dark, they are also humorous, revealing a balance between the maudlin and the comic.
Critics found much to like on the album. The group's performance at South by Southwest, a showcase of bands from around the country that takes place yearly in Austin, Texas, was also well received. Despite the critical attention, there were still some hurdles to overcome. Wentz explained to James Montgomery of VH1.com what it was like touring for Take This To Your Grave with the band Less Than Jake: "On the Less Than Jake tour, we were so green they had us open for a magician. It was really depressing. They were like 'OK, it's you guys, then the magician, then us.' It was insane."... From: "Fall Out Boy." Contemporary Musicians, Volume 57. Thomson Gale, 2005.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nestled between hardcore and emo is softcore, and Fall Out Boy is one of the subgenre's best-kept secrets. That's about to change, though. With an infectious beat and an amusingly anthemic chorus, "Sugar, We're Goin Down"-the first single off the album "From Under the Cork Tree"-is one sticky melody. So it is not surprising that the video is already a big hit on MTV's "TRL" and the song is quickly climbing The Billboard Hot 100. Mixed by hitmaker Tom Lord-Alge (Blink-182, Weezer), "Sugar" is sure to be a taste of sweet success for the band.-KK From: Kroll, Katy. "FALL OUT BOY: Sugar, We're Goin Down." Billboard. 23 Jul 2005. Volume: 117; ISSN: 00062510 pg 40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The theatrical and irreverent third-generation emo that they pioneered has become a certifiable subgenre, inspiring hit acts like their protégés Panic! At the Disco. But Infinity proves they're the masters of this peculiar art. The guiding force is bassist-lyricist Pete Wentz, responsible for "You're Crashing, but You're No Wave," "The Carpal Tunnel of Love," and other exuberantly pun-filled songs that both wallow in and lampoon emo angst. "A penny for your thoughts/But a dollar for your insides/And a fortune for your disaster/I'm just a painter...And I'm drawing a blank," Stump sings in the galloping power-pop blast "Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?" Like all Fall Out Boy lyrics, it's not quite as clever as Wentz seems to think, and his obsession with posers, lame "scenes," and, above all, his own band might annoy listeners not currently enrolled in high school. But Wentz's words have a pleasing vernacular spunkinessthis is the Esperanto of young American suburbia, poetry of the mall and the chat room. Who but Wentz would brag, "Every dotcom's refreshing for a journal update"?
Of course, it's the loud, jagged sound that really moves the kids. FOB's guitars still blare, and Stump has evolved into a superb frontman, with a voice that slides supplely from a bratty punk bark into a honeyed falsetto. But the pleasant surprise here is the band's new sense of swing: Several songs, including the hit "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race," dip winningly into R&B, a move aided by co-producer Babyface. Lo and behold, it turns out these pasty emo boys are a pretty great blue-eyed soul band. Infinity ain't exactly Thrillerbut Maroon 5 better watch their backs. Lifted from: Rosen, Jody.

...Enter Fall Out Boy, the Chicago four-piece who surprised everyone with a top 10 debut for their hummable From Under the Cork Tree. First single "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" just hit No. 1 on TRL, coinciding with a coheadlining stint on the Vans Warped Tour (through Aug. 15). Says singer-guitarist Patrick Stump, "[We've never] been about goals, so this is a bit bizarre."
Formed in 2001 from the remains of several Chi-town hardcore bands, the college dropouts exhibited their laissez-faire attitude when settling on a monikera character from The Simpsonsafter a fan shouted it out at a gig. "Maybe you shouldn't put that in there," says Stump. "If Matt Groening's reading anything, [it's] EW." But more than their name, the band is infamous for their never-ending song titles. So what's the writer of tunes like "I've Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song)" have to say for himself? Responds bassist-lyricist Pete Wentz: "We write titles that fit the songs, whether it's one word or 87 words." Alert the Verbosity Police!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pop-punk act Fall Out Boy has a knack for mixing polished hooks, hyperactive guitars and clever pop culture references. Here, the hilarious throwback title, a tribute to teen movie "Sixteen Candles" and Samantha Fox's 1986 make-out hit, is more exciting than the song itself. Calling all teenagers suffering from an unattainable crush, this emo-ish relationship drama does little to update the uptempo-breakdown-uptempo formula, but it certainly honors it. The quartet rips angsty, I'm-so-messed-up confessions into catchy riffs and a melodic chorus that soars despite its déjà vu feel. However, top 40 radio is a long shot this time; "A Little Less" is not as infectious as "Dance, Dance" and less anthemic than "Sugar, We're Goin' Down." But after two top 10 singles, a multiplatinum album and a Grammy Award nomination, these guys can afford a momentary break from mainstream success.-SPFALL OUT BOY: A Little Less "Sixteen Candles," A Little More "Touch Me" From: Philipp, Sven. Billboard Magazine. Volume: 118 Number: 11, ISSN: 00062510, Publication Date: 03-18-2006, Page: 60

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The band started, in 2002, as a fairly unremarkable example of emo--a descendant of punk rock in which political lyrics and noise have been exchanged for plaints about brokenhearted boys and their anonymous girlfriends--and evolved into a famous act that sings about the mechanics of celebrity. The group's second album, "Take This to Your Grave" (2003), appeared on an independent punk-rock label called Fueled by Ramen--the name refers to the marginal existences of touring bands--and the drummer, Andy Hurley, still claims to be a vegan anarchist. ("My whole thing is I'm not into civilization as a whole," he recently told Rolling Stone.) "From Under the Cork Tree" and "Infinity on High" were released by a major label, Island Records; the first song on "Infinity" is called "Thriller," after the biggest-selling album of all time. It begins with some cheerleading by the rapper Jay-Z, the C.E.O. of Def Jam, Island's sister label: "We dedicate this album to anybody people said couldn't make it. To the fans that held us down till everybody came around, welcome. It's here."
The album is deeply pleasurable, consisting of compressed, torqued-up rock songs that rarely detour into instrumental passages and return single-mindedly to choruses that range from the reasonably hummable to the eminently hummable. Like the band's other albums, "Infinity" is the product of an atypical division of labor, between the husky blond guitarist and singer Patrick Stump, who composes the rapidly shifting, unabashedly melodic music (he's a fan of soul, and warms up for shows by singing Nat King Cole's version of "Almost Like Being in Love"), and Wentz, whose clever lyrics rely on pop-culture references. ("A Little Less 'Sixteen Candles,' a Little More 'Touch Me' " is the name of a song from "Cork Tree.") Many people who have never heard Fall Out Boy know that Wentz has been romantically linked with starlets like Michelle Trachtenberg and Lindsay Lohan, and that last year nude pictures that Wentz took of himself with his Sidekick made their way onto the Internet. Wentz spends almost as much time online as the band's fans do. As he said in a recent interview, "I blog pretty hard."
Fall Out Boy retains some formal connections to punk--the generally rapid tempos and distorted guitars will be familiar to anyone who has heard Green Day or Blink-182--but, with a few tweaks, Stump's songs could work perfectly well as country or R. & B. numbers. His vocals are open-throated and powerful, a bit reminiscent of eighties New Wave singers like Howard Jones, though his belting style suggests that of a musical-theatre performer. Wentz's lyrics can be cynical and sour--"We're the new face of failure, prettier and younger but not any better off " is a line from "I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me & You)"--but Stump sings them on bended knee, seemingly incapable of insincerity. Reviewers have compared the band to groups as varied as the Backstreet Boys and Kiss, which is a good indication of Fall Out Boy's omnivorous approach. Unlike the Backstreet Boys, Fall Out Boy's members write their own material, and, unlike Kiss, all four musicians are technically expert players. Like both bands, however, Fall Out Boy is determined to be as entertaining as possible. (The songs often sound like epic ballads by Journey.) Frere-Jones, Sasha.

'''''3 Chains o' Gold''''' is a 1994 [[direct-to-video]] film produced and directed by [[Prince (musician)|Prince]] and starring Prince and [[The New Power Generation]].<ref>{{cite web|author=Amy Linden |url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,303745,00.html |title=3 Chains O' Gold Review | Reviews and News |publisher=EW.com |date=1994-09-16 |accessdate=2011-09-01}}</ref> It is a collection of videos for songs from ''[[Love Symbol]]'', tied together with a loose plotline. The film was the 69th best-selling video of 1994.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ugsEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA50&dq=%223+chains+o+gold&ei=kygZS8yNNonaygSRx4nEAw#v=onepage&q=%223%20chains%20o%20gold&f=false |title=Billboard - Google Books |publisher=Books.google.co.uk |date=1995-01-07 |accessdate=2011-09-01}}</ref>

==Plot==
The story begins with the assassination of Egyptian Princess [[Mayte Garcia|Mayte]]'s father by seven unknown assailants. Mayte believes that the assassins were after the sacred "3 Chains of Gold". She sets out to meet with Prince, as she believes he is the only one that can protect the chains from the seven assassins. What follows is a romance between Prince and Mayte, and Prince organizing the assassination of the assailants (accompanied by the song "[[7 (song)|7]]"). Local television anchors Randy Meier and Lauren Green were featured in this film, sitting at the anchor desk, while Kirstie Alley reported from the field.

==Epilogue==
At the end of the film, prior to the credits, is an explanation of the name change, attributing it to Prince's desire to be "reborn" and start a perfect life:
<blockquote>
Upon the seventh day of the sixth month 
Nineteen hundred and ninety-three 
Marking the beginning and ending of cycles of creation 
Prince, reaching the balance of thirty-five years, 
Put into practice the precepts of perfection: 
Voicing bliss through the freedom of being one's self 
Incarnating the New Power Generation into 
The close of the six periods of involution giving 
Birth upon himself to regenerate his name as [[File:Prince logo.svg|x20px|alt=Love Symbol Album]] 
For in the dawn, all will require no speakable name 
To differentiate the ineffable one that shall remain.
</blockquote>

==Film and album==
The film was accompanied by the ''[[Love Symbol]]'' album, however not all of the album's songs make an appearance in the film, and some of the songs are edited versions. The film's title song is only an instrumental at the end. However, some of the dialogue from the album does appear in the film (a phone call from a reporter, played by Kirstie Alley, to Prince). The final speech of the film (made by Mayte) does not appear on the album, instead another phone call is in its place. The actual songs that appear in the film are:
* "[[My Name Is Prince]]"
* "[[Sexy MF]]"
* "Love 2 the 9s"
* "[[The Morning Papers]]"
* "The Max"
* "Blue Light"
* "I Wanna Melt with U"
* "Sweet Baby"
* "The Continental"
* "[[Damn U]]"
* "[[7 (song)|7]]"
* "The Call"

'''''Purple Rain''''' is the sixth [[studio album]] by American recording artist [[Prince (musician)|Prince]], the first to feature his band [[The Revolution (band)|The Revolution]], and is the [[soundtrack]] to the 1984 [[Purple Rain (film)|film of the same name]]. It was released on June 25, 1984 by [[Warner Bros. Records]]. To date, it has sold over 25 million copies worldwide, making it the [[List of best-selling albums|third-best-selling soundtrack album of all time]].<ref name="Those chart busters"/>

''Purple Rain'' is regularly ranked among the best albums in music history, and is widely regarded as Prince's [[Masterpiece|magnum opus]]. ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine ranked it the 15th greatest album of all time in 1993, and it placed 18th on [[VH1]]'s ''Greatest Rock and Roll Albums of All Time'' countdown. ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' ranked it the second-best album of the 1980s and 76th on their list of the "[[The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time|500 Greatest Albums of All Time]]". The first two singles from ''Purple Rain'', "[[When Doves Cry]]" and "[[Let's Go Crazy]]", topped the US singles charts, and were hits around the world, while the [[Purple Rain (song)|title track]] went to number two on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]]. The album was certified thirteen-times platinum (diamond) by the [[Recording Industry Association of America|RIAA]].<ref>{{Cite certification|region=United States|artist=Prince|title=Purple Rain|type=album}}</ref>

==Background==
''Purple Rain'' was released by Warner Bros. Records on June 25, 1984. Prince wrote all of the songs on the album, some with the input of fellow band members. "I Would Die 4 U", "Baby I'm a Star" and "Purple Rain" were recorded live from a show on August 3, 1983, at the [[First Avenue (nightclub)|First Avenue]] club in [[Minneapolis]], with overdubs and edits added later. This marked the first time Prince included live recordings on any release.{{cn|date=July 2017}} The show was a [[benefit concert]] for the Minnesota Dance Theater and featured the first appearance of guitarist [[Wendy Melvoin]] in Prince's band, The Revolution.

"Take Me with U" was intended for the Apollonia 6 album, a full band recording with the Revolution and Jill Jones on backing vocals, but Prince pulled it for his own album. "Let's Go Crazy" was also recorded with The Revolution while an unreleased version of "Computer Blue" clocking in at 14 minutes was a full band studio recording as well with various cuts some that are at least 14min long, but the final version of that song only featured Prince, Wendy and Lisa.{{cn|date=July 2017}} "The Beautiful Ones", "Darling Nikki" and "When Doves Cry" are all Prince recordings.

''Purple Rain'' was the first Prince album recorded with and officially credited to his backing group The Revolution. The resulting album was musically denser than Prince's previous one-man albums, emphasizing full band performances, and multiple layers of guitars, keyboards, icy electronic [[synthesizer]] effects, [[drum machine]]s, and other instruments. Musically, ''Purple Rain'' remained grounded in the [[Rhythm and blues|R&B]] elements of Prince's previous work while demonstrating a more pronounced rock feel in its grooves and emphasis on [[guitar|guitar showmanship]].

As a soundtrack record, much of the music had a grandiose, synthesized, and even—by some evaluations—a [[psychedelic music|psychedelic]] sheen to the production and performances. The music on ''Purple Rain'' is generally regarded as the most [[pop music|pop]]-oriented of Prince's career, though a number of elements point towards the more experimental records Prince would release after ''Purple Rain''. As with many massive crossover albums, ''Purple Rain''{{'}}s consolidation of myriad styles, from [[pop rock]] to [[rhythm and blues|R&B]] to [[dance music|dance]], is generally acknowledged to account in part for its enormous popularity.

In addition to the record's breakthrough sales, music critics noted the innovative and experimental aspects of the soundtrack's music, most famously on the spare, bass-less "[[When Doves Cry]]".<ref name="essentialRS">{{cite web|title=25 Essential Prince Songs|url=http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/25-greatest-prince-songs-20160421/when-doves-cry-1984-20160421|website=Rolling Stone|accessdate=October 24, 2016}}</ref> Other aspects of the music, especially its synthesis of electronic elements with organic instrumentation and full-band performances (some, as noted above, recorded live) along with its landmark consolidation of rock and R&B, were identified by critics as distinguishing, even experimental factors. Stephen Erlewine of [[AllMusic]] writes that ''Purple Rain'' finds Prince "consolidating his funk and R&B roots while moving boldly into pop, rock, and heavy metal," as well as "push[ing] heavily into [[psychedelic music|psychedelia]]" under the influence of the Revolution.<ref name="Allmusic"/> Erlewine identifies the record's nine songs as "uncompromising ... forays into pop" and "stylistic experiments", echoing general sentiment that ''Purple Rain''{{'}}s music represented Prince at his most popular without forsaking his experimental bent.<ref name="Allmusic"/>

"[[Take Me with U]]" was written for the [[Apollonia 6]] [[Apollonia 6 (album)|album]], but later enlisted for ''Purple Rain''.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Selke|first1=Lori|title=Earworm Weekly: Prince's "Take Me With U"|url=http://archives.sfweekly.com/shookdown/2016/03/08/earworm-weekly-princes-take-me-with-you|website=SF Weekly|accessdate=October 24, 2016}}</ref> The inclusion of that song necessitated cuts to the [[suite (music)|suite]]-like "Computer Blue", the full version of which did not earn an official release, although a portion of the second section can be heard in the film ''[[Purple Rain (film)|Purple Rain]]'', in a sequence where Prince walks in on the men of [[The Revolution (band)|The Revolution]] rehearsing. The risqué lyrics of "[[Darling Nikki]]" contributed to the use of [[Parental Advisory]] stickers and imprints on album covers that were the record label's answer to complaints from [[Tipper Gore]] and the [[Parents Music Resource Center]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/fireace_00/pmrc.html |title=PMRC |date=April 6, 2003 |accessdate=October 3, 2011 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20030406085225/http://www.geocities.com/fireace_00/pmrc.html |archivedate=April 6, 2003}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.joesapt.net/superlink/shrg99-529/p11.html |title=Page 11 |publisher=Joesapt.net |date= |accessdate=October 3, 2011}}</ref><ref name="TIME - 02Nov2006 - All-TIME 100 Albums - Purple Rain">{{cite news|url=http://entertainment.time.com/2006/11/02/the-all-time-100-albums/#purple-rain-1984|title=All-TIME 100 Albums - Purple Rain|last=Cruz|first=Gilbert|date=November 2, 2006|work=[[Time (magazine)|TIME]]|accessdate=November 1, 2011}}</ref>

==Career==

===1975–1984: Beginnings and breakthrough===
In 1975, Pepe Willie, the husband of Prince's cousin, Shauntel, formed the band [[94 East]] with Marcy Ingvoldstad and Kristie Lazenberry, hiring André Cymone and Prince to record tracks.{{citation needed|date=June 2016}} Willie wrote the songs, and Prince contributed guitar tracks, and Prince and Willie co-wrote the 94 East song, "Just Another Sucker".{{citation needed|date=June 2016}} The band recorded tracks which later became the album ''Minneapolis Genius – The Historic 1977 Recordings''.{{citation needed|date=June 2016}}

In 1976, Prince created a demo tape with producer Chris Moon, in Moon's Minneapolis studio.{{citation needed|date=June 2016}} Unable to secure a recording contract, Moon brought the tape to Owen Husney, a Minneapolis businessman, who signed Prince, age 17, to a management contract, and helped him create a demo at [[Sound 80]] Studios in Minneapolis (with producer/engineer David Z).{{citation needed|date=June 2016}} The demo recording, along with a [[press kit]] produced at Husney's ad agency, resulted in interest from several record companies including [[Warner Bros. Records]], [[A&M Records]], and [[Columbia Records]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/princes-first-manager-reflects-on-the-music-icons-early-days|title=Prince's first manager reflects on the music icon's early days|publisher=[[UCLA|UCLA Newsroom]]|date=May 2, 2016|accessdate=May 6, 2016|first=Ted B.|last=Kissell|archivedate=May 3, 2016|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160503111230/http://newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/princes-first-manager-reflects-on-the-music-icons-early-days}}</ref>

With the help of Husney, Prince signed a recording contract with Warner Bros. The record company agreed to give Prince creative control for three albums and ownership of the publishing rights.{{sfn|Light|2014|p=29}}<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Norment |first=Lynn |date=January 1997 |title=The Artist Formerly Known as Prince|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7wvQh4Sjlw8C&pg=PA130#v=onepage&q&f=false |magazine=[[Ebony (magazine)|Ebony]] |page=130 |accessdate=April 21, 2016 |quote=While he retains the publishing rights to all his songs, Warner Brothers owns the master tapes to the 20 albums preceding ''Emancipation''.}}</ref> Husney and Prince then left Minneapolis and moved to [[Sausalito, California]], where Prince's first album, ''[[For You (Prince album)|For You]]'', was recorded at [[Record Plant]] Studios. The album was mixed in Los Angeles and released on April 7, 1978.{{sfn|Uptown|2004|p=19}} According to the ''For You'' album notes, Prince wrote, produced, arranged, composed, and played all 27 instruments on the recording, except for the song "[[Soft and Wet]]", whose lyrics were co-written by Moon. The cost of recording the album was twice Prince's initial advance. Prince used the ''Prince's Music Co.'' to [[music publisher (popular music)|publish]] his songs. "Soft and Wet" reached No. 12 on the [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs|Hot Soul Singles]] chart and No. 92 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]]. The song "[[Just as Long as We're Together]]" reached No. 91 on the Hot Soul Singles chart.

[[File:Ticket to Prince’s First Concert.jpg|thumb|right|Ticket to Prince's first performance with his band in January 1979]]
In 1979, Prince created a band with André Cymone on bass, [[Dez Dickerson]] on guitar, Gayle Chapman and [[Doctor Fink]] on keyboards, and [[Bobby Z.]] on drums. Their first show was at the Capri Theater on January 5, 1979. Warner Bros. executives attended the show but decided that Prince and the band needed more time to develop his music.{{sfn|Hill|1989|p=}}{{page needed|date=April 2016}} In October 1979, Prince released the album, ''[[Prince (album)|Prince]]'', which was No. 4 on the ''Billboard'' [[Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums|Top R&B/Black Albums]] charts and No. 22 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], and went [[platinum record|platinum]]. It contained two R&B hits: "[[Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?]]" and "[[I Wanna Be Your Lover]]". "I Wanna Be Your Lover" sold over a million copies, and reached No. 11 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and No. 1 for two weeks on the Hot Soul Singles chart. Prince performed both these songs on January 26, 1980, on ''[[American Bandstand]]''.

In 1980, Prince released the album ''[[Dirty Mind]]'', which contained sexually explicit material, including the title song, "Head", and the song "Sister", and was described by [[Stephen Thomas Erlewine]] as a "stunning, audacious amalgam of funk, [[new wave]], R&B, and pop, fueled by grinningly salacious sex and the desire to shock."<ref name="Erlewine">Erlewine, Stephen Thomas. "[{{Allmusic|class=album|id=r15800|pure_url=yes}} Dirty Mind – Prince]." [[AllMusic]].

According to his former manager [[Bob Cavallo]], in the early 1980s Prince required his management to obtain a deal for him to star in a major motion picture, despite the fact that his exposure at that point was limited to several pop music hits and music videos. This resulted in the hit film ''[[Purple Rain (film)|Purple Rain]]'' (1984), which starred Prince and was loosely autobiographical, and the [[Purple Rain (album)|eponymous studio album]], which was also the soundtrack to the film.<ref name=raftery /> The ''Purple Rain'' album sold more than 13 million copies in the US and spent 24 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart.

In 1985, Prince announced that he would discontinue live performances and music videos after the release of his next album. His subsequent recording, ''[[Around the World in a Day]]'' (1985), held the No. 1 spot on the ''Billboard'' 200 for three weeks.

In 1986, Prince began a series of live performances called the [[Hit n Run – Parade Tour]]. After the tour Prince disbanded The Revolution and fired [[Wendy & Lisa]].<ref name=raftery /> Brown Mark quit the band; keyboardist Doctor Fink remained. Prince recruited new band members [[Miko Weaver]] on guitar, [[Atlanta Bliss]] on trumpet, and [[Eric Leeds]] on saxophone.{{sfn|Moskowitz|2015|pp=483–489}}

===1987–1991: Solo again, ''Sign o' the Times''===
Prior to the disbanding of The Revolution, Prince was working on two separate projects, The Revolution album ''[[Dream Factory (album)|Dream Factory]]'' and a solo effort, ''[[Camille (unreleased Prince album)|Camille]]''.{{sfn|Draper|2008|pp=76–78}} Unlike the three previous band albums, ''Dream Factory'' included input from the band members and featured songs with lead vocals by Wendy & Lisa.{{sfn|Draper|2008|pp=76–78}} The ''Camille'' project saw Prince create a new [[androgynous]] persona primarily singing in a sped-up, female-sounding voice. With the dismissal of The Revolution, Prince consolidated material from both shelved albums, along with some new songs, into a three-LP album to be titled ''[[Crystal Ball (unreleased album)|Crystal Ball]]''.{{sfn|Draper|2008|p=80}} Warner Bros. forced Prince to trim the triple album to a double album, and ''[[Sign o' the Times]]'' was released on March 31, 1987.<ref name="Billboard Sign o the times">{{cite web|first=Stephen Thomas |last=Erlewine |url={{BillboardURLbyName|artist=prince|chart=all}} |title=Sign 'O' the Times |work=Billboard |accessdate=March 3, 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130509100710/http://www.billboard.com/artist/351039/prince/chart |archivedate=May 9, 2013}}</ref>

The album peaked at No. 6 on the ''Billboard'' 200 albums chart.<ref name="Billboard Sign o the times" /> The first single, "[[Sign o' the Times (song)|Sign o' the Times]]", charted at No. 3 on the Hot 100.<ref name="Prince chart history billboard">{{cite web|url= {{BillboardURLbyName|artist=prince|chart=all}}|archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20080610060841/{{BillboardURLbyName|artist=prince|chart=all}}|archivedate= June 10, 2008|title=Artist Chart History – Prince|work=Billboard|accessdate=January 13, 2009}}</ref> The follow-up single, "[[If I Was Your Girlfriend]]", charted at No. 67 on the Hot 100 but went to No. 12 on R&B chart.<ref name="Prince chart history billboard" /> The third single, a duet with [[Sheena Easton]], "[[U Got the Look]]", charted at No. 2 on the Hot 100 and No. 11 on the R&B chart,<ref name="Prince chart history billboard" /> and the final single, "[[I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man]]", finished at No. 10 on Hot 100 and No. 14 on the R&B chart.<ref name="Prince chart history billboard" />

It was named the top album of the year by the [[Pazz & Jop]] critics' poll and sold 3.2 million copies.{{sfn|Draper|2008|p=81}} In Europe it performed well, and Prince promoted the album overseas with a lengthy tour. Putting together a new backing band from the remnants of The Revolution, Prince added bassist [[Levi Seacer, Jr.]], keyboardist Boni Boyer, and dancer/choreographer [[Cat Glover]]{{sfn|Gregory|1995|p=246}} to go with new drummer Sheila E.{{sfn|Matos|2004|p=57}} and holdovers Miko Weaver, Doctor Fink, Eric Leeds, Atlanta Bliss, and the Bodyguards (Jerome, Wally Safford, and Greg Brooks) for the [[Sign o' the Times Tour]].

The Sign o' the Times tour was a success overseas, and Warner Bros. and Prince's managers wanted to bring it to the US to promote sales of the album;{{sfn|Draper|2008|pp=86–87}}{{sfn|Hahn|2004|p = 118}} Prince balked at a full US tour, as he was ready to produce a new album.{{sfn|Draper|2008|pp=86–87}} As a compromise, the last two nights of the tour were filmed for release in movie theaters. The film quality was deemed subpar, and reshoots were performed at Prince's [[Paisley Park]] studios.{{sfn|Draper|2008|pp=86–87}} The film ''[[Sign o' the Times (film)|Sign o' the Times]]'' was released on November 20, 1987. The film got better reviews than ''Under the Cherry Moon'', but its box-office receipts were minimal, and it quickly left theaters.{{sfn|Hahn|2004|p = 118}}

The next album intended for release was ''[[The Black Album (Prince album)|The Black Album]]''.{{sfn|Draper|2008|p=90}} More instrumental and funk and R&B themed than recent releases,{{sfn|Draper|2008|p=92}} ''The Black Album'' also saw Prince experiment with [[hip hop music]] on the songs "Bob George" and "Dead on It". Prince was set to release the album with a monochromatic black cover with only the catalog number printed, but after 500,000 copies had been pressed,{{sfn|Draper|2008|p=91}} Prince had a spiritual epiphany that the album was evil and had it recalled.{{sfn|Hahn|2004|pp = 121–122}} It was later released by Warner Bros. as a limited edition album in 1994.

Prince went back in the studio for eight weeks and recorded ''[[Lovesexy]]''. Released on May 10, 1988, ''Lovesexy'' serves as a spiritual opposite to the dark ''The Black Album''.{{sfn|Draper|2008|p=93}} Every song is a solo effort by Prince, except "Eye No", which was recorded with his backing band at the time. ''Lovesexy'' reached No. 11 on the ''Billboard'' 200 and No. 5 on the R&B albums chart.<ref name="Lovesexy billboard">{{cite web|url={{BillboardURLbyName|artist=prince|chart=all}} |title=Lovesexy |work=Billboard |accessdate=January 13, 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130509100710/http://www.billboard.com/artist/351039/prince/chart |archivedate=May 9, 2013}}</ref> The lead single, "[[Alphabet St.]]", peaked at No. 8 on the Hot 100 and No. 3 on the R&B chart;<ref name="Billboard Sign o the times" /> it sold 750,000 copies.{{sfn|Draper|2008|p=94}}

Prince again took his post-Revolution backing band (minus the Bodyguards) on a three leg, 84-show [[Lovesexy World Tour]]; although the shows were well received by huge crowds, they lost money due to the expensive sets and props.{{sfn|Hahn|2004|pp = 152–153}}{{sfn|Draper|2008|p=95}}

[[File:Prince by jimieye.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Prince performing during his [[Nude Tour]] in 1990]]
In 1989, Prince appeared on [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]]'s studio album ''[[Like a Prayer (album)|Like a Prayer]]'', co-writing and singing the duet "Love Song" and playing electric guitar (uncredited) on the songs "[[Like a Prayer (song)|Like a Prayer]]", "[[Keep It Together (song)|Keep It Together]]", and "Act of Contrition". He also began work on several musical projects, including ''[[Unreleased Prince projects|Rave Unto the Joy Fantastic]]'' and early drafts of his ''Graffiti Bridge'' film,{{sfn|Hahn|2004|pp = 155–156}}{{sfn|Draper|2008|p=96}} but both were put on hold when he was asked by ''[[Batman (1989 film)|Batman]]'' (1989) director [[Tim Burton]] to record several songs for the upcoming live-action adaptation. Prince went into the studio and produced an entire nine-track album that Warner Bros. released on June 20, 1989. ''[[Batman (album)|Batman]]'' peaked at No. 1 on the ''Billboard'' 200,<ref name="batman billboard">{{cite web|first=Stephen Thomas |last=Erlewine |url={{BillboardURLbyName|artist=prince|chart=all}} |title=Batman |work=Billboard |accessdate=January 13, 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130509100710/http://www.billboard.com/artist/351039/prince/chart |archivedate=May 9, 2013}}</ref> selling 4.3 million copies.{{sfn|Hahn|2004|p = 157}} The single "[[Batdance]]" topped the ''Billboard'' and R&B charts.<ref name="Billboard Sign o the times" />

The single, "[[The Arms of Orion]]" with Sheena Easton, charted at No. 36, and "[[Partyman]]" (also featuring the vocals of Prince's then-girlfriend, nicknamed [[Anna Fantastic]]) charted at No. 18 on the Hot 100 and at No. 5 on the R&B chart, and the love ballad "[[Scandalous!]]" went to No. 5 on the R&B chart.<ref name="Billboard Sign o the times" /> Prince had to sign away all publishing rights to the songs on the album to Warner Bros. as part of the deal to do the soundtrack.

In 1990, Prince went back on tour with a revamped band for his back-to-basics [[Nude Tour]]. With the departures of Boni Boyer, Sheila E., the horns, and Cat, Prince brought in keyboardist [[Rosie Gaines]], drummer [[Michael Bland]], and dancing trio The Game Boyz ([[Tony M.]], Kirky J., and Damon Dickson). The European and Japanese tour was a financial success with a short, greatest hits setlist.{{sfn|Hahn|2004|p = 166}} As the year progressed, Prince finished production on his fourth film, ''[[Graffiti Bridge (film)|Graffiti Bridge]]'' (1990), and the [[Graffiti Bridge (album)|1990 album of the same name]]. Initially, Warner Bros. was reluctant to fund the film, but with Prince's assurances it would be a sequel to ''[[Purple Rain (film)|Purple Rain]]'' as well as the involvement of the original members of The Time, the studio greenlit the project.{{sfn|Draper|2008|p=104}} Released on August 20, 1990, the album reached No. 6 on the ''Billboard'' 200 and R&B albums chart.<ref name="Graffiti Bridge billboard">{{cite web|url={{BillboardURLbyName|artist=prince|chart=all}} |title=Graffiti Bridge |work=Billboard |accessdate=January 13, 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130509100710/http://www.billboard.com/artist/351039/prince/chart |archivedate=May 9, 2013}}</ref> The single "[[Thieves in the Temple]]" reached No. 6 on the Hot 100 and No. 1 on the R&B chart;<ref name="Billboard Sign o the times" /> "[[Round and Round (Tevin Campbell song)|Round and Round]]" placed at No. 12 on the US charts and No. 2 on the R&B charts. The song featured the teenage [[Tevin Campbell]] (who also had a role in the film) on lead vocals. The film, released on November 20, 1990, was a box-office flop, grossing $4.2 million.{{sfn|Draper|2008|p=105}} After the release of the film and album, the last remaining members of The Revolution, Miko Weaver and Doctor Fink, left Prince's band.

1991 marked the debut of Prince's new band, [[the New Power Generation]]. With guitarist Miko Weaver and long-time keyboardist Doctor Fink gone, Prince added bass player [[Sonny T.]], [[Tommy Barbarella]] on keyboards, and a brass section known as the Hornheads to go along with Levi Seacer (taking over on guitar), [[Rosie Gaines]], [[Michael Bland]], and the Game Boyz.

After two failed attempts in 1990 and 1991,{{sfn|Hahn|2004|pp = 192–193}} Warner Bros. released a [[Greatest hits album|greatest hits]] compilation with the three-disc ''[[The Hits/The B-Sides]]'' in 1993. The first two discs were also sold separately as ''The Hits 1'' and ''The Hits 2''. The collection features the majority of Prince's hit singles (with the exception of "[[Batdance]]" and other songs that appeared on the ''[[Batman (album)|Batman]]'' soundtrack), and several previously hard-to-find recordings, including [[A-side and B-side|B-sides]] spanning the majority of Prince's career, as well as some previously unreleased tracks such as the Revolution-recorded "Power Fantastic" and a live recording of "[[Nothing Compares 2 U]]" with Rosie Gaines. Two new songs, "[[Pink Cashmere]]" and "[[Peach (song)|Peach]]", were chosen as promotional singles to accompany the compilation album.

In 1993, in rebellion against Warner Bros., which refused to release Prince's enormous backlog of music at a steady pace,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36107590|title=Why did Prince change his name to a symbol?|publisher=BBC News|accessdate=May 5, 2016|date=April 22, 2016|first=Jessica|last=Lussenhop}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.legalcheek.com/2016/04/prince-hated-contract-law-so-much-he-once-changed-his-name-to-an-unpronounceable-symbol/|title=Prince hated contract law so much he once changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol|work=Legal Cheek}}</ref> he changed his name to [[File:Prince logo.svg|x22px]], which was explained as a combination of the [[Gender symbol|symbols]] for male (♂) and female (♀).<ref name="nytimes_07-11-02" /> In order to use the symbol in print media, Warner Bros. had to organize a mass mailing of [[floppy disk]]s with a custom font.<ref>{{cite news |first=Brian |last=Feldman |url=http://nymag.com/following/2016/04/princes-legendary-floppy-disk-symbol-font.html|accessdate=May 5, 2016 |title=The Legend of Prince's Special Custom-Font Symbol Floppy Disks |newspaper=[[New York (magazine)|New York]] |date=April 21, 2016 }}</ref> The symbol was soon dubbed "The Love Symbol", and until 2000, Prince was referred to as "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince" or simply "The Artist".<ref name="bass player"/>

===1994–2000: Increased output and ''The Gold Experience''===
In 1994, Prince began to release albums in quick succession as a means of releasing himself from his contractual obligations to Warner Bros. The label, he believed, was intent on limiting his artistic freedom by insisting that he release albums more sporadically. He also blamed Warner Bros. for the poor commercial performance of the ''Love Symbol Album'', claiming they had marketed it insufficiently. It was out of these developments that the aborted ''[[The Black Album (Prince album)|The Black Album]]'' was officially released, seven years after its initial recording. The "new" release was already in wide circulation as a [[bootleg recording|bootleg]]. Warner Bros. then succumbed to Prince's wishes to release an album of new material, to be entitled ''[[Come (Prince album)|Come]]''.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}}

Prince pushed to have his next album ''[[The Gold Experience]]'' released simultaneously with ''Love Symbol''-era material. Warner Bros. allowed the single "[[The Most Beautiful Girl in the World (Prince song)|The Most Beautiful Girl in the World]]" to be released via a small, independent distributor, [[Bellmark Records]], in February 1994. The release reached No. 3 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and No. 1 in many other countries, but it did not prove to be a model for subsequent releases. Warner Bros. still resisted releasing ''The Gold Experience'', fearing poor sales and citing "[[market saturation]]" as a defense. When released in September 1995, ''The Gold Experience'' reached the top 10 of the ''Billboard'' 200 initially. The album is now out of print.

''[[Chaos and Disorder]]'', released in 1996, was Prince's final album of new material for Warner Bros., as well as one of his least commercially successful releases. Prince attempted a major comeback later that year when, free of any further contractual obligations to Warner Bros., he released ''[[Emancipation (Prince album)|Emancipation]]'', a 36-song, 3-CD set (each disc was exactly 60 minutes long). The album was released via his own [[NPG Records]] with distribution through [[EMI]]. To publish his songs on ''Emancipation'', Prince did not use ''Controversy Music'' – ''ASCAP'', which he had used for all his records since 1981, but rather used ''Emancipated Music Inc.''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=PRINCE&search_in=a&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&results_pp=30&start=1 |title=ASCAP profile for Emancipated Music |publisher=Ascap.com |accessdate=July 18, 2009}}{{Dead link|date=April 2016}}</ref> – ''ASCAP''.

Certified [[RIAA certification|Platinum]] by the [[Recording Industry Association of America|RIAA]], ''Emancipation'' is the first record featuring [[cover version|covers]] by Prince of songs of other artists: [[Joan Osborne]]'s top ten hit song of 1995 "[[One of Us (Joan Osborne song)|One of Us]]";<ref>{{cite web|url={{BillboardURLbyName|artist=joan osborne|chart=all}} |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080521101753/http://{{billboardurlbyname|artist=joan/ |archivedate=May 21, 2008 |title=Chart history for 'One Of Us' |work=Billboard |accessdate=July 18, 2009 |deadurl=yes |df= }}</ref> "[[Betcha by Golly Wow!]]" (written by Thomas Randolf Bell and Linda Creed);<ref>{{cite web|url=http://repertoire.bmi.com/title.asp?blnWriter=True&blnPublisher=True&blnArtist=True&keyID=108308&ShowNbr=0&ShowSeqNbr=0&querytype=WorkID |title=BMI credits for "Betcha By Golly Wow!" |publisher=Repertoire.bmi.com |accessdate=July 18, 2009}}</ref> "[[I Can't Make You Love Me]]" (written by James Allen Shamblin II and Michael Barry Reid);<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=390493822&search_in=i&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&results_pp=20&start=1 |title=BMI credits for "I Can't Make You Love Me" |publisher=Ascap.com |accessdate=July 18, 2009}}{{Dead link|date=April 2016}}</ref> and "[[La-La (Means I Love You)]]" (written by Thomas Randolf Bell and William Hart).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://repertoire.bmi.com/title.asp?blnWriter=True&blnPublisher=True&blnArtist=True&keyID=819010&ShowNbr=0&ShowSeqNbr=0&querytype=WorkID |title=BMI credits for "La-La Means I Love You" |publisher=Repertoire.bmi.com |accessdate=July 18, 2009}}</ref>

Prince released ''[[Crystal Ball (album set)|Crystal Ball]]'', a five-CD collection of unreleased material, in 1998. The distribution of this album was disorderly, with some fans pre-ordering the album on his website up to a year before it was shipped; these pre-orders were delivered months after the record had gone on sale in retail stores. The retail edition has only four discs, as it is missing the ''Kamasutra'' disc. There are also two different packaging editions for retail; one is a four-disc sized jewel case with a white cover and the Love Symbol in a colored circle while the other contains all four discs in a round translucent snap jewel case. The discs are the same, as is the CD jacket. The ''[[Newpower Soul]]'' album was released three months later. His collaborations on [[Chaka Khan]]'s ''[[Come 2 My House]]'' and [[Larry Graham]]'s ''[[GCS2000]]'', both released on the [[NPG Records]] label around the same time as ''Newpower Soul'', were promoted by live appearances on ''[[Vibe (magazine)|Vibe with Sinbad]]'' and the [[NBC]] ''[[Today (NBC program)|Today]]'' show's Summer Concert Series.

In 1999, Prince once again signed with a major label, [[Arista Records]], to release a new record, ''[[Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic]]''. In an attempt to make his new album a success, Prince gave more interviews than at any other point in his career, appearing on MTV's ''[[Total Request Live]]'' (with his album cover on the front of the [[Virgin Megastore]], in the background on ''TRL'' throughout the whole show), ''[[Larry King Live]]'' (with Larry Graham) and other media outlets. A few months earlier, Warner Bros. had also released ''[[The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale]]'', a collection of unreleased material recorded by Prince throughout his career.<ref>{{cite web|title=Prince Sign of the Times|url=https://socialbilitty.com/2016/05/prince-sign-of-the-times/|date=May 8, 2016|publisher=''[[Socialbilitty]]''|access-date=January 17, 2017}}</ref>

The pay-per-view concert, ''[[Rave Un2 the Year 2000]]'', was broadcast on December 31, 1999 and consisted of footage from the December 17 and 18 concerts of his 1999 tour. The concert featured appearances by guest musicians including [[Lenny Kravitz]], [[George Clinton (musician)|George Clinton]], Jimmy Russell, and The Time. It was released to home video the following year.

===2000–2007: Turnaround, ''Musicology'', label change, and ''3121''===
On May 16, 2000, Prince stopped using the Love Symbol moniker and returned to using "Prince", after his publishing contract with [[Warner/Chappell Music|Warner/Chappell]] expired. In a press conference, he stated that, after being freed from undesirable relationships associated with the name "Prince", he would revert to using his real name. Prince continued to use the symbol as a logo and on album artwork and to play a Love Symbol-shaped guitar. For several years following the release of ''Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic'', Prince primarily released new music through his Internet subscription service, NPGOnlineLtd.com (later NPGMusicClub.com).<ref>{{cite web|last1=Bugbee|first1=Teo|title=Taylor Swift Follows Prince: The Artist Who Tamed the Corporate Giant|url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/06/25/taylor-swift-is-the-new-prince-the-artist-that-tamed-the-corporate-giant.html|website=The Daily Beast|accessdate=May 8, 2016|date=June 25, 2015}}</ref>

In 2002, Prince released his first live album, ''[[One Nite Alone... Live!]]'', which features performances from the [[One Nite Alone...Tour]]. The 3-CD box set also includes a disc of "aftershow" music entitled ''It Ain't Over!''. During this time, Prince sought to engage more effectively with his fan base via the [[NPG Music Club]], pre-concert sound checks, and at yearly "celebrations" at Paisley Park, his music studios. Fans were invited into the studio for tours, interviews, discussions and music-listening sessions. Some of these fan discussions were filmed for an [[Unreleased Prince projects#Untitled Kevin Smith-directed documentary|unreleased documentary]], directed by [[Kevin Smith]].

In April 2004, Prince released ''[[Musicology (album)|Musicology]]'' through a one-album agreement with [[Columbia Records]]. The album rose as high as the top five on some international charts (including the US, UK, Germany, and Australia). The US chart success was assisted by the CDs being included as part of the concert ticket purchase, thereby qualifying each CD (as chart rules then stood) to count toward US chart placement.<ref>{{cite web| last = D'Angelo| first = Joe | title = Billboard Sours On Prince's Musicology Sales Experiment: Magazine changes policy on tallying albums sold with tickets|publisher=MTV News| date = May 28, 2004| url = http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1488027/20040528/prince.jhtml|accessdate=May 6, 2016}}</ref> Three months later, ''[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]'' named him the greatest [[frontman]] of all time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.contactmusic.com/news-article/prince-tops-frontmen-poll|title=Prince Tops Frontmen Poll|date=July 27, 2004|publisher=[[Contactmusic.com]]|archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/6Hjd4p0fC?url=http://www.contactmusic.com/news-article/prince-tops-frontmen-poll|archivedate=June 29, 2013|deadurl=no|accessdate=June 29, 2013}}</ref>
That same year, ''Rolling Stone'' magazine named Prince as the highest-earning musician in the world, with an annual income of $56.5 million,<ref>{{cite news| title = Prince Crowned 'Top Music Earner' |publisher=BBC News| date = February 9, 2005| url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4251227.stm|accessdate=May 12, 2016}}</ref> largely due to his [[Musicology Tour]], which [[Pollstar]] named as the top concert draw among musicians in US. He played 96 concerts; the average ticket price for a show was US$61. ''Musicology'' went on to receive two Grammy wins, for [[Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance|Best Male R&B Vocal Performance]] for "[[Call My Name (Prince song)|Call My Name]]" and Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance for the [[Musicology (song)|title track]]. ''Musicology'' was also nominated for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Album, and "[[Cinnamon Girl (Prince song)|Cinnamon Girl]]" was nominated for [[Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance|Best Male Pop Vocal Performance]]. ''Rolling Stone'' magazine has ranked Prince No. 27 on their [[Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time|list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time]].<ref name="rollingstone2004" />

In April 2005, Prince played guitar (along with [[En Vogue]] singing backing vocals) on [[Stevie Wonder]]'s single "[[So What the Fuss]]", Wonder's first since 1999.<ref>{{cite web| title = So What the Fuss credits| work=Discog| url = http://www.discogs.com/Stevie-Wonder-So-What-The-Fuss/release/736771}}</ref>

In late 2005, Prince signed with [[Universal Records]] to release his album, ''[[3121 (album)|3121]]'', on March 21, 2006. The first single was "[[Te Amo Corazón]]", the video for which was directed by actress [[Salma Hayek]] and filmed in [[Marrakech]], Morocco, featuring Argentine actress and singer [[Mía Maestro]]. The video for the second single, "[[Black Sweat]]", was nominated at the [[MTV Video Music Awards|MTV VMAs]] for Best Cinematography. The immediate success of ''3121'' gave Prince his first No. 1 debut on the ''Billboard'' 200 with the album.

To promote the new album, Prince was the musical guest on ''Saturday Night Live'' on February 4, 2006, 17 years after his last ''SNL'' appearance on the 15th anniversary special, and nearly 25 years since his first appearance on a regular episode in 1981.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Thompson|first1=Desire|title='Saturday Night Live' Announce 'Good Night Sweet Prince' Tribute|url=http://www.vibe.com/2016/04/prince-saturday-night-live-tribute/|accessdate=May 8, 2016|work=Vibe|date=April 23, 2016}}</ref>

At the [[2006 Webby Awards]] on June 12, Prince received a [[Webby Awards|Webby]] Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his "visionary use of the Internet to distribute music and connect with audiences", exemplified by his decision to release his album ''Crystal Ball'' (1997) exclusively online.<ref name="cnetsandoval">{{cite web|last1=Sandoval|first1=Greg|title=Prince: The artist who formerly liked the Internet|url=http://www.cnet.com/news/prince-the-artist-who-formerly-liked-the-internet/|website=[[CNET]]|accessdate=April 23, 2016|date=November 13, 2007}}</ref><ref name="postohlheiser">{{cite news|last1=Ohlheiser|first1=Abby|title=Prince had a complicated relationship with the Internet|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2016/04/21/prince-had-a-long-complicated-relationship-with-the-internet/|accessdate=April 23, 2016|work=[[The Washington Post]]|date=April 21, 2016}}</ref>

In November 2006, Prince was inducted into the [[UK Music Hall of Fame]];<ref name="guardiansweeting" /> he appeared to collect his award but did not perform. Also in November 2006, Prince opened a nightclub called 3121, in [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas]] at the [[Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino]]. He performed weekly on Friday and Saturday nights until April 2007, when his contract with the Rio ended.{{citation needed|date=April 2016}} On August 22, 2006, Prince released ''[[Ultimate Prince]]''. The double disc set contains one CD of previous hits, and another of extended versions and mixes of material that had largely only previously been available on vinyl record B-sides. That same year, Prince wrote and performed a song for the hit animated film ''[[Happy Feet]]'' (2006). The song, "[[The Song of the Heart]]", appears on the film's [[Happy Feet: Music from the Motion Picture|soundtrack]], which also features a cover of Prince's earlier hit "Kiss", sung by [[Nicole Kidman]] and [[Hugh Jackman]]. In January 2007, "The Song of the Heart" won a [[Golden Globe Award|Golden Globe]] for Best Original Song.<ref>{{cite web| title = Golden Globe Awards| publisher=goldenglobes.org| url = http://www.goldenglobes.org/browse/member/30963}}</ref>

After Universal's attorneys were granted access to the Warner contract, the attorneys also offered to cancel the deal.<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2017/06/27/universal-presses-bid-to-void-music-deal-with-prince-estate/103241266/</ref> On July 13, the court voided Universal's deal with Prince's estate, though Universal will continue to administer Prince's songwriting credits and create merchandise.<ref>http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/7865944/court-voids-universal-31-million-deal-with-prince-estate</ref>

At the 2008 [[Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival]] ("Coachella Festival"), Prince performed a cover of [[Radiohead]]'s "[[Creep (Radiohead song)|Creep]]", but immediately afterward he forced YouTube and other sites to remove footage that fans had taken of the performance, despite Radiohead's request to leave it on the website.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stereogum.com/10102/prince_is_being_a_creep_radiohead_tell_him_hes_a_l/news/ |title= Prince Is Being A "Creep," Radiohead Tell Him He's A Loser |publisher=StereoGum |date=May 30, 2008 |accessdate=December 6, 2014}}</ref> Days later, YouTube reinstated the videos, as Radiohead said: "it's our song, let people hear it."

[[File:Frysauce.JPG|thumb|Fry sauce with [[French fries|fries]]]]
'''Fry sauce''' is a condiment often served with [[French fries|French Fries]] or [[tostones]] (twice-fried plantain slices) in many places in the world. It is usually a combination of one part [[ketchup]] and two parts [[mayonnaise]]. It is similar to traditional [[Russian dressing]] and [[Thousand Island dressing]].

==In the United States==
[[File:Pink Fry Sauce Cropped.jpg|thumb|right|210px||Fry sauce in sealed plastic cups with fries on a tray in Utah]]
Fry sauce was originally popularized in the United States by a chef named Don Carlos Edwards, who served it in his first restaurant, Don Carlos’ Barbecue in [[Salt Lake City]], which eventually became the Utah-based restaurant chain [[Arctic Circle restaurants|Arctic Circle]] in the 1950s.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.eater.com/2016/8/6/12054512/fry-sauce-utah-condiment|title=A Brief History of Fry Sauce, Utah's Favorite Condiment|date=2016-08-06|website=Eater|access-date=2017-04-08}}</ref> The chain still serves fry sauce in its western United States restaurants.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/650220850/My-oh-my-do-we-love-fry-sauce.html?pg=all|title=My oh my do we love fry sauce!|last=Vergakis|first=Brock|date=January 6, 2007|pages=|newspaper=''[[The Deseret News]]''}}</ref>

In [[Puerto Rico]], ''{{lang|es|mayoketchup}}'' is widely used with {{lang|es|[[tostones]]}} and fried foods. It is made of two parts ketchup and one part mayonnaise with the addition of [[garlic]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.speakinglatino.com/?definition=mayoketchup-puerto-rico|title=mayoketchup Puerto Rico|language=en-us|access-date=2016-08-21}}</ref>

==Outside the United States==
In [[Argentina]] and [[Chile]], a similar condiment known as ''{{lang|es|[[salsa golf]]}}'' (golf sauce) is a popular dressing for fries, burgers, and steak sandwiches. According to tradition, the sauce was invented by [[Luis Federico Leloir]], a Nobel laureate and restaurant patron, at a golf club in {{lang|es|[[Mar del Plata]]}}, Argentina during the mid-1920s.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{lang|es|[[:es:Salsa golf|Salsa golf]]}} at the Spanish [[Wikipedia]]</ref>{{better source|date=August 2017}}

In [[France]], many Turkish restaurants and fast food establishments serve fry sauce and call it ''{{lang|fr|sauce américaine}}''; it is also common for customers to request ''{{lang|fr|ketchup-mayo}}'' (a dab of mayonnaise and a dab of ketchup) alongside their French fries at such places. Both ''{{lang|fr|sauce américaine}}'' and the thousand island-like ''{{lang|fr|sauce cocktail}}'' can often be found in supermarkets.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.benedicta.com:80/index.php?id=154 |title=Bénédicta |publisher=Web.archive.org |date= |accessdate=2016-08-04 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090617155420/http://www.be |archivedate=2009-06-17 |df= }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.benedicta.com:80/index.php?id=742 |title=Bénédicta |publisher=Web.archive.org |date= |accessdate=2016-08-04 |deadurl=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090617155523/http://www.benedicta.com:80/index.php?id=742 |archivedate=2009-06-17 |df= }}</ref>

In [[Germany]], a popular product called ''{{lang|de|Rot Weiss}}'' (red white) is sold in toothpaste-style tubes; it consists of unmixed ketchup and mayonnaise, which form a red-and-white striped string when squeezed out. Fries at restaurants are sometimes served with an equal mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Leao|first1=Pedro Macedo|title=Germany: Keys to Understanding German Business Culture|date=2011|publisher=Lulupress|location=USA|isbn=978-1-4478-6295-6|page=45|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4cRjAwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover}}</ref> ''{{lang|de|Pommes-Soße}}'' or ''{{lang|de|Frittensoße}}'' (fry sauce) is a lightly spiced mayonnaise similar to the Dutch ''{{lang|nl|Fritessaus}}''. A condiment similar to the American fry sauce is known as ''{{lang|de|[[Cocktail sauce#Europe|Cocktailsoße]]}}'', but it's more often used for [[döner kebab]] than for French fries.

In [[Iceland]], a condiment similar to fry sauce called ''{{lang|is|Kokteilsósa}}'' (cocktail sauce) is popular.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.simnet.is/gullis/jo/Miscellaneous.htm#kokteilsosa |title=Forsíða | Síminn |publisher=Simnet.is |date= |accessdate=2016-04-30}}</ref>

Marie Rose sauce

{{Refimprove|article|date=January 2011}}
[[File:Crab meat in shell with salad and Marie Rose sauce.jpg|thumb|Crab meat in shell with salad and Marie Rose sauce]]
[[File:Frysauce.JPG|thumb|right|Fry sauce, similar in composition and appearance to Marie Rose sauce, served with french fries in the United States]]
'''Marie Rose sauce''' (known in some areas as cocktail sauce or seafood sauce) is a British [[condiment]] made from a blend of tomatoes, [[mayonnaise]], [[Worchestershire sauce|Worcestershire sauce]], lemon juice and pepper. A simpler version can be made by merely mixing tomato ketchup with mayonnaise. The sauce, as well as [[prawn cocktail]], which its alternative name of cocktail sauce comes from, was invented in the 1960s by British cook [[Fanny Cradock]].<ref name=C4>{{cite web|title=The origins of 10 modern classic foods |url=http://www.channel4.com/4food/features/top-10s/the-origins-of-10-modern-classic-foods |website=Channel 4 |accessdate=6 June 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140406193543/http://www.channel4.com/4food/features/top-10s/the-origins-of-10-modern-classic-foods |archivedate=April 6, 2014 }}</ref>

It is often used with [[seafood]], and [[prawn]]s in particular. [[Giles Coren]] said: "[[Prawn cocktail]] dripping with Marie Rose sauce is, probably, most symbolic of 70s cuisine."<ref>[http://www.theguardian.com/culture/tvandradioblog/2008/jun/11/lastnightstvsupersizersgo Last night's TV: Supersizers Go Seventies], ''The Guardian, 11 June 2008</ref>{{Unreliable source?|reason=the article is a humorous opinion piece that bears little relation to the content of the programme in question; it is unclear how literally one should take its claims.|date=December 2015}}

==Similar sauces==
In the United States, a similar sauce, [[fry sauce]], is sometimes served with french fries. Another similar sauce called [[Thousand Island dressing]] is popular in the United States and Canada. The Thousand Island dressing recipe reputedly originated from the [[Thousand Islands]] between the state of New York and the province of Ontario.<ref>[http://whatscookingamerica.net/Sauces_Condiments/ThousandIslandDressing.htm]</ref> In Argentina, [[salsa golf]] is a similar sauce created in the 1920s at a golf course, hence the name.

'''Strained yogurt''', '''Greek yogurt''',<ref name=" Davidson 2014 ">{{cite book |title= The Oxford Companion to Food |last= Davidson |first= Alan |year= 2014 |publisher= Oxford University Press |isbn=9780191040726 |quote= It should also be noted that sheep's or goat's milk yoghurt, or strained yoghurt often called 'Greek', are more stable than plain yoghurt. |page=239 }}</ref> '''yogurt cheese''', or '''labneh''' ({{lang-ar|لبنة}} ''labnah''), is [[yogurt]] that has been strained to remove its [[whey]], resulting in a thicker consistency than unstrained yogurt, while preserving yogurt's distinctive, [[sour]] taste. Like many types of yogurt, strained yogurt is often made from milk that has been enriched by boiling off some of its water content, or by adding extra [[butterfat]] and [[powdered milk]]. In Europe and North America, it is often made with low-fat or fat-free yogurt. In [[Iceland]] a similar product named [[skyr]] is produced.

Strained yogurt is sometimes marketed in North America as "Greek yogurt" and in Britain as "Greek-style yoghurt",<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25954228 BBC:'Greek' yoghurt Chobani firm loses legal battle, 29 January 2014]. In Britain the name "Greek" may only be applied to yoghurt made in Greece</ref> though strained yogurt is also widely eaten in [[Levantine cuisine|Levantine]], Eastern [[Mediterranean cuisine|Mediterranean]], [[Middle Eastern cuisine|Near Eastern]], [[Central Asian cuisine|Central Asian]] and [[South Asian cuisine|South Asian]] cuisines, wherein it is often used in cooking (as it is high enough in fat content to avoid [[curdling]] at higher temperatures). Such dishes may be cooked or raw, savory or sweet. Due to the straining process to remove excess whey, even non-fat varieties of strained yogurt are much thicker, richer, and creamier than yogurts that have not been strained.{{citation needed|date=March 2015}} Since the straining process removes the whey, or fluid, from the milk solids, it requires substantially more plain yogurt to produce a cup of strained yogurt, so the cost to make it is increased accordingly. Thickeners, such as pectin, locust bean gum, starches, guar gum, etc., listed in the ingredients indicate straining was not the method used to consolidate the milk solids. Marketing of Greek or Greek-style yogurt in the US allows the use of more thickeners instead of straining, so there is little difference in yogurt of years prior to the introduction of strained yogurt other than an increase of thickeners, even though the price is now higher for the original, unstrained products. In western [[Europe]] and the [[US]], strained yogurt has increased in popularity compared to unstrained yogurt. Since the straining process removes some of the lactose, strained yogurt is lower in sugar than unstrained yogurt.<ref name="mother"/>

It was reported in 2012 that most of the growth in the $4.1 billion US yogurt industry came from the strained yogurt sub-segment, sometimes marketed as "Greek yogurt".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://online.wsj.com/article/AP7fc6a591c5894845953163cf3e221c52.html |title=Greek yogurt on a marathon-like growth spur|work= Wall Street Journal|author= Associated Press|date= 22 January 2012}}</ref><ref name=Neuman>{{cite news|author=Neuman, William |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/13/business/demand-for-greek-style-helps-form-a-yogurt-cluster-in-new-york.html |title=Greek Yogurt a Boon for New York State|work=The New York Times|date= 12 January 2012}}</ref> In the US there is no legal definition of Greek yogurt, and yogurt thickened with thickening agents may also be sold as "Greek yogurt" even though it is not necessarily strained yogurt.<ref name=theKitchn>{{cite web|url=http://www.thekitchn.com/greek-yogurt-wars-high-tech-shortcuts-vs-purists-174420 |title=Greek Yogurt Wars: The High-Tech Shortcuts vs. The Purists|website=theKitchn|accessdate=24 January 2013}}</ref>

==Variations==
[[File:Մածունը քամելիս.JPG|thumb|Yogurt being strained through a [[cheesecloth]]]]

===Armenia===
In [[Armenian cuisine|Armenia]], strained yogurt is called ''kamats [[matzoon]]''. Traditionally, it was produced for long-term preservation by draining matzoon in cloth sacks. Afterwards it was stored in leather sacks or clay pots for a month or more depending on the degree of salting.<ref>С. А. Арутюнов, Т. А. Воронина. ''Традиционная пища как выражение этнического самосознания'', стр. 120—125. Наука, 2001 (S. A. Arutyunov, T. A. Voronina. ''Traditional Food as an Expression of Ethnic Self-Consciousness'', pp. 120-125. Nauka publishers, 2001; in Russian)</ref>

===Albania===
In [[Albanian cuisine|Albania]], strained yogurt is called "salcë kosi". After preparing yogurt from micro-cultured milk, it is drained in a cloth sack from few hours, to overnight. The water released from this process is called "hir" and can be used to preserve cheese or as a drink. Meanwhile the strained yogurt is used in many variation in the [[Albanian cuisine|Albanian]] cuisine and is eaten either plain or with added elements such as dill, garlic, cucumber, nuts, olive oil etc.

===Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, and Macedonia===
In the countries of the former Yugoslavia, strained yogurt made of cow's milk has become very popular in recent years. It is usually labeled ''grčki tip jogurta'' and eaten on its own as a snack or dessert.
In Macedonia it's widely known as „павлака".

===Bulgaria===
In [[Bulgarian cuisine|Bulgaria]], where yogurt is considered to be an integral part of the national cuisine, strained yogurt is called "tsedeno kiselo mlyako" ({{lang-bg|цедено кисело мляко}}), and is used in a variety of salads and dressings. Another similar product is "katak" ({{lang-bg|катък}}), which is often made from sheep or goat milk.

===Central Asia===
In the cuisines of many [[Iranian peoples|Iranian]], [[Baloch people|Baloch]], and [[Turkic peoples|Turkic]] peoples (e.g. in [[Azerbaijani cuisine|Azerbaijani]], [[Afghan cuisine|Afghan]], [[Tatar cuisine|Tatar]], [[Tajik cuisine|Tajik]], [[Uzbek cuisine|Uzbek]], and other [[Central Asian cuisine]]s), a type of strained yogurt called ''chak(k)a''<ref>{{Cite book

is consumed. It is obtained by draining [[qatiq]], a local yogurt variety. By further drying it, one obtains [[Kashk|qurut]], a kind of dry fresh cheese.<ref name=Pokhlebkin /> Strained yogurt in Balochistan is called "Sheelanch" and is a vital part of the nomadic diet. It is usually used for making dips served with dates, or served as a side dish. It is also dried and preserved for winter use.{{fact|date=January 2017}}

===Cyprus===
As in Greece, strained yogurt is widely used in [[Cypriot cuisine]] both as an ingredient in recipes as well as on its own or as a supplement to a dish. In Cyprus, strained yogurt is usually made from sheep's milk.{{citation needed|date=February 2015}}

===Greece===
Strained yogurt ("στραγγιστό γιαούρτι" ''strangistó giaoúrti'' in Greek) is used in [[Greek cuisine|Greek food]] mostly as the base for [[tzatziki]] dip and as a dessert, with [[honey]], [[Sour Cherry|sour cherry syrup]], or [[spoon sweets]] often served on top. A few savoury Greek dishes use strained yogurt. In Greece, strained yogurt, like yogurt in general, is traditionally made from sheep's milk. [[Fage|Fage International S.A.]] began straining cows milk yogurt for industrial production in Greece in 1975, which is when it launched its brand "Total".<ref>Daphne Zepos. [http://www.kerasma.gr/default.asp?entryID=380&pageID=96&tablePageID=35&langID=2 Greek Gastronomy]. Kerasma, accessed on 2013-01-24</ref>

===Indian subcontinent===
[[File:Dhau.JPG|thumb|right|140px|A disposable clay pot with "[[Yogurt|dahi]]"]]
In the Indian subcontinent, regular unstrained yogurt (''curd''), made from cow or water buffalo milk, it is often sold in disposable clay bowls called [[kulhar]]. Kept for a couple of hours in its [[clay]] pot, some of the water evaporates through the unfired clay's pores. It also cools the curd due to evaporation. But true strained yogurt is made by draining the yogurt in a cloth.

[[Shrikhand]] is an Indian dessert (often eaten with [[poori]]) made with strained yogurt and sugar, [[saffron]], [[cardamom]], diced fruit and nuts mixed in. It is particularly popular in the state of [[Gujarat]] and [[Maharashtra]], where dairy producers market shrikhand similar to ice cream. In [[Pashtun people|Pashtun]]-dominated regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan, a strained yogurt known as ''chaka'' is often consumed with rice and meat dishes.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Kelley|first1=Laura|title=The Silk Road Gourmet: Western and Southern Asia|date=2009|publisher=iUniverse|location=New York|isbn=9781440143052|page=191|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=NrANvuIMjeEC|language=en}}</ref>

===Middle East===
Labneh (also known as Labni, Lebni) is popular in the [[Levant]] and the [[Arabian Peninsula]]. Besides being used fresh, labneh is also dried then formed into balls, sometimes covered with herbs or spices, and stored under [[olive oil]]. Labneh is a popular [[mezze]] dish and [[sandwich]] ingredient. A common sandwich in the Middle East is one of labneh, mint, thyme, and olive on pita bread. The flavour depends largely on the sort of milk used: labneh from [[cow's milk]] has a rather mild flavour. Also the quality of [[olive oil]] topping influences the taste of labneh. Milk from camels and other animals is used in labneh production in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries.

[[Bedouin]] also produce a dry, hard labneh (''labaneh malboudeh'', similar to Central Asian [[Kashk|qurut]]) that can be stored. Strained labneh is pressed in cheese cloth between two heavy stones and later sun dried. This dry labneh is often eaten with [[khubz]] (Arabic bread), in which both khubz and labneh are mixed with water, animal fat, and salt, and rolled into balls.

In [[Iraq]], [[Jordan]], [[Lebanon]], [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]], Israel, and [[Syria]], Labneh is made by straining the liquid out of yogurt until it takes on a consistency similar to a soft cheese. It tastes like tart sour cream or heavy strained yogurt and is a common breakfast dip.<ref name="haaretz.com">Debra Kamin. [http://www.haaretz.com/travel-in-israel/tourist-tip-of-the-day/tourist-tip-242-labneh.premium-1.525323 Tourist tip #242:Labheh]. [[Haaretz]]</ref> It is usually eaten in a fashion similar to [[hummus]], spread on a plate and drizzled with olive oil and often, dried mint. It is also often paired as a dip with the mixed herb blend [[za'atar]].

Labneh is also the main ingredient in [[jameed]], which is in turn used in [[mansaf]], the national dish of [[Jordan]].

''Labaneh bil zayit'', "labaneh in oil", consists of small balls of dry labneh kept under oil, where it can be preserved for over a year. As it ages it turns more sour.

Strained yogurt in [[Iranian cuisine|Iran]] is called ''mâst chekide'' and is usually used for making dips, or served as a side dish.
In [[Northern Iran]], ''mâst chekide'' is a variety of [[kefir]] with a distinct sour taste. It is usually mixed with fresh herbs in a [[pesto|pesto-like]] purée called [[Delal sauce|delal]].
Yogurt is a side dish to all [[Iranian cuisine|Iranian meals]]. Strained yogurt is used as dips and various appetizers with multitudes of ingredients: cucumbers, onions, shallots, fresh herbs (dill, spearmint, parsley, cilantro), spinach, walnuts, [[zereshk]], garlic, etc. The most popular appetizers are [[spinach]] or [[eggplant]] [[borani]], ‘’Mâst-o-Khiâr’’ with cucumber, spring onions and herbs, or ‘’Mâst-Musir’’ with wild [[shallots]].

In Egypt, strained and unstrained yogurt is called "zabadi" ("laban" meaning "milk" in [[Egyptian Arabic]]). It is eaten with savoury accompaniments such as olives and oil, and also with a sweetener such as honey, as a snack or breakfast food. Areesh cheese (or Arish) ({{lang-ar|جبنة قريش}}) is a type of cheese that originated in [[Egypt]]. [[Shanklish]], a fermented cheese, is made from areesh cheese.<ref>{{cite book|last=Helou|first=Anissa|title=Lebanese Cuisine|year=1998|publisher=St. Martin's Griffin|location=New York|isbn=0312187351|page=18}}</ref> Arish cheese is made from yogurt heated slowly until it curdles and separates, then placed in cheesecloth to drain.

====Mexico====
Strained yogurt is called ''jocoque seco'' in Mexico. It was popularised by [[Lebanese immigration to Mexico|local producers of Lebanese origin]] and is widely popular in the country.

===Northern Europe===
Strained yogurt, in full-, low-, and no-fat versions, has become popular in northern European cookery as a low-calorie alternative to cream in recipes. It is typically marketed as "Greek" or "Turkish" yogurt.

In Denmark, a type of strained yogurt named [[Ymer (dairy product)|ymer]] is available. In contrast to the Greek and Turkish variety, only a minor amount of [[whey]] is drained off in the production process.<ref name="Arla - Product description and history">{{Cite web|url=http://arla.dk/Produkter/Artikler/a38/ |title=Syrnede produkter |accessdate=2009-04-12 |publisher=Arla Foods Corporation |language=Danish |year=2009}}</ref> Ymer is traditionally consumed with the addition of ymerdrys ''(lit. {{lang-da|ymer sprinkle}})'', a mixture of [[bread crumbs]] made from rye bread (''[[rugbrød]]'') and [[brown sugar]]. Like other types of soured dairy products, ymer is often consumed at breakfast. Strained yogurt topped with [[muesli]] and [[maple syrup]] is often served at [[brunch]] in cafés in Denmark.

In the Netherlands, strained yogurt is known as ''hangop'', literally meaning 'hang up'. It is a traditional dessert. ''Hangop'' may also be made using buttermilk.

===Turkey===
[[File:Turkish strained yogurt.jpg|thumb|Unstirred Turkish ''Süzme Yoğurt'' (strained yogurt), with a 10% fat content]]
In [[Turkish cuisine|Turkey]], strained yogurt is known as ''süzme yoğurt''<ref>Walker, Harlan, ed. (2000) [https://books.google.com/books?id=tuor2vcVtiQC&pg=PA276&dq=suzme+yogurt+means&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiklMao8qDMAhWHC8AKHavbCIwQ6AEIKDAC#v=onepage&q=s%C3%BCzme&f=false ''Milk-- Beyond the Dairy: Proceedings of the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery 1999''] Totnes, Devon, Eng. : Prospect Books. page 276. {{ISBN|9781903018064}}.</ref> ("strained yogurt") or ''kese yoğurdu'' ("bag yogurt").<ref>''[http://hbogm.meb.gov.tr/modulerprogramlar/kursprogramlari/gida/moduller/suzme_yogurt.pdf Süzme Yoğurt]''. Food Technology, MEGEP, Turkish Ministry of Education, 2007 (in Turkish)</ref> Water is sometimes added to it in the preparation of [[cacık]], when this is not eaten as a [[meze]] but consumed as a beverage. Strained yogurt is used in Turkish mezzes and dips such as [[haydari]].<ref>Elizabeth Taviloglu.

In Turkish markets, labne is also a popular dairy product but it is different from strained yogurt; it is yogurt-based creamy cheese without salt, and is used like [[mascarpone]].<ref>[http://eng.pinar.com.tr/products/detail/Pinar-Labaneh/2072/2240/0 Pınar Labaneh]. Pinar, Yaşar Group</ref>

===United Kingdom===
In the [[United Kingdom]] strained yogurt can only be marketed as "Greek" if made in Greece. Strained cows'-milk yogurt not made in Greece is typically sold as "Greek Style" or "Greek Recipe" for marketing reasons, typically at lower prices than yogurt made in Greece. Among "Greek Style" yogurts there is no distinction between those thickened by straining and those thickened through additives.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2013/630.html|title=Fage UK Ltd & Anor v Chobani UK Ltd & Anor [2013] EWHC 630 (Ch) (26 March 2013)|work=bailii.org §7}}</ref>

In September 2012 Chobani UK Ltd. began to sell yogurt made in the United States as "Greek Yogurt". FAGE, a company that manufactures yogurt in Greece and sells it in the UK, filed a [[passing-off]] claim against Chobani in the [[High Court of Justice|UK High Court]], claiming that UK consumers understood "Greek" to refer to the country of origin (similar to "[[Beer in Belgium|Belgian Beer]]"); Chobani's position was that consumers understood "Greek" to refer to a preparation (similar to "[[French Toast]]"). Both companies relied on surveys to prove their point; FAGE also relied on the previous industry practice of UK yogurt makers to not label their yogurt as "Greek Yogurt". Ultimately [[Michael Briggs (judge)|Mr Justice Briggs]] found in favor of FAGE and granted an [[injunction]] preventing Chobani from using the name "Greek Yogurt".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2013/630.html|title=Fage UK Ltd & Anor v Chobani UK Ltd & Anor [2013] EWHC 630 (Ch) (26 March 2013)|work=bailii.org}}</ref> In February 2014 this decision was upheld on [[appeal]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bailii.org/cgi-bin/markup.cgi?doc=/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2014/5.html|title=Fage UK Ltd & Anor v Chobani UK Ltd & Anor [2014] EWCA Civ 5 (28 January 2014)|work=bailii.org}}</ref><ref>Ben Bouckley.

DairyReporter, 28 January 2014</ref> Chobani later announced that it was reentering the UK market using a "strained yogurt" label<ref>http://www.foodnavigator.com/Policy/Chobani-s-strained-not-Greek-yoghurt-gets-UK-revamp</ref> but has not yet done so.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.chobani.co.uk/|title=Chobani|work=chobani.co.uk}}</ref>

==Production==
The characteristic thick texture and high protein content are achieved through either or both of two processing steps. The milk may be concentrated by ultrafiltration to remove a portion of the water before addition of yogurt cultures.<ref name=Gelski>{{cite web|author=Gelski, Jeff |url=http://www.foodbusinessnews.net/News/News%20Home/Features/2011/3/My%20big%20thick%20Greek%20yogurt.aspx |title=My big, thick Greek yogurt: protein, straining methods affect texture|website= FoodBusinessNews|date= 4 April 2011}}</ref> Alternatively, after culturing, the yogurt may be centrifuged or membrane-filtered to remove [[whey]], in a process analogous to the traditional straining step. Brands described as "strained" yogurt, including Activia Greek, Chobani, Dannon Light & Fit Greek, Dannon Oikos, FAGE, Stonyfield Organic Oikos, Trader Joe's, and Yoplait have undergone the second process. Process details are highly guarded [[trade secret]]s. Other brands of Greek-style yogurt, including Yoplait and some store brands, are made by adding milk protein concentrate and thickeners<ref>{{cite web|author=Scott-Thomas, Caroline |url=http://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Markets/National-Starch-develops-ingredient-for-no-strain-Greek-yogurt |title=National Starch develops ingredient for no strain Greek yogurt|website= Foodnavigator-USA|date= 23 June 2011}}</ref> to standard yogurt to boost the protein content and modify the texture.<ref name=Gelski />

The liquid resulting from straining yogurt is called "acid [[whey]]" and is composed of water, yogurt cultures, protein, a slight amount of [[lactose]], and [[lactic acid]]. It is costly to dispose of.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dairyreporter.com/Processing-Packaging/Greek-yogurt-waste-acid-whey-a-concern-for-USDA-Jones-Laffin|title=Greek yogurt waste 'acid whey' a concern for USDA: Jones Laffin|work=DairyReporter.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.environmentalleader.com/2013/07/02/yogurt-companies-face-whey-disposal-problem/|title=Yogurt Companies Face Whey Disposal Problem|author=Environmental Leader|work=Environmental Leader}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dairyreporter.com/Manufacturers/Chobani-Dannon-attempt-to-defuse-Greek-yogurt-acid-whey-environmental-concerns|title=Chobani, Dannon attempt to defuse Greek yogurt ‘acid whey’ concerns|work=DairyReporter.com}}</ref> Farmers have used the whey to mix with animal feed and fertilizer. Using [[anaerobic digester]]s, it can be a source of [[methane]] that can be used to produce electricity.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://modernfarmer.com/2013/05/whey-too-much-greek-yogurts-dark-side/|title=Whey Too Much: Greek Yogurt’s Dark Side|date=22 May 2013|work=[[Modern Farmer (magazine)|Modern Farmer]]|accessdate=28 December 2013}}</ref>

{{tmbox|type=style|text=[[Elvis Presley#Questions over cause of death|''Questions over cause of death'']] gives the balanced views of various experts. Please note that although Nichopoulos, Presley's main physician, was at the time ''"exonerated of criminal liability for the singer's death, ... His license was suspended for three months. It was permanently revoked in the 1990s after the Tennessee Medical Board brought new charges of over-prescription."'' Consensus among regular editors who judge it important to preserve a reliable, mainstream view in this encyclopedia article is that the discredited doctor's opinions, such as those published in his 2010 book, and including his attempt to emphasize constipation as the likely cause of death, should not be propagated by Wikipedia, and hence receive no coverage in this article.}}

== Infobox instrument, again ==

Elvis is mainly known as a singer, did he often play guitar ? yes, was it his "'''primary'''" instrument ? no. Did Elvis play piano ? of course, was it his "'''primary'''" instrument ? no, in fact you'd be hard pressed to find him playing piano on stage. Elvis' "'''main'''" instrument was his voice, nobody is saying he didn't play other instruments, but according to the [[Template:Infobox_musical_artist#instrument|Infobox guidelines]] "'''secondary'''" instruments of an artist are addressed in the article body, not the infobox. {{u|Kellymoat}} <s>disagrees and</s> has [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elvis_Presley&diff=prev&oldid=789728539 asked for consensus], so here we are. - [[User:FlightTime|'''FlightTime''']] ([[User talk:FlightTime|'''open channel''']]) 11:49, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

:<s>Don't put words in my mouth.</s> I did not voice an opinion. I said that if you want to change the instruments in the Infobox, that you need to get get a consensus. In fact, I am not sure why there isn't a note saying as such. [[User:Kellymoat|Kellymoat]] ([[User talk:Kellymoat|talk]]) 12:07, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
::One discussion from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Elvis_Presley/Archive_31#A_Few_Important_Questions......_.28Piano.2C_Arranger.2FProducer.2C_Philanthropy.29 archives]. - [[User:FlightTime|'''FlightTime''']] ([[User talk:FlightTime|'''open channel''']]) 12:42, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

:But I will offer my opinion. When you say 'Elvis', I do not conjure up an image of him and a piano. As a fan, I know he plays. But it isn't my first or second thought. I am fine with excluding piano from the infobox. I can't see why we would consider removing guitar from a list of primary instruments. Sure, in the later years (Post War/Vegas era), he did more singing than playing. But look at all of those album covers (and movie posters) with him and a guitar. Sure, he isn't in the same league as Yngwie Malmsteem, as far as talent goes, but he definitely is known for guitar. [[User:Kellymoat|Kellymoat]] ([[User talk:Kellymoat|talk]]) 17:48, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

::He's still not known as a guitarist. Movies and posters do not count because it can be argued that the guitars are props. The only time I can remember him playing guitar in a concert situation was the 68 special and again it was probably just to give his hands something to do since he had to remain seated. - [[User:FlightTime|'''FlightTime''']] ([[User talk:FlightTime|'''open channel''']]) 18:28, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
:::Which is why I put movies in the parenthesis and made the main argument about the albums. [[User:Kellymoat|Kellymoat]] ([[User talk:Kellymoat|talk]]) 18:50, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

:::According to the discography page, the [[Elvis_Presley_albums_discography#Studio_albums|studio album]] articles have him listed as playing guitar on every album (except for 2 that do not even have him credited for singing). And of their corresponding album covers, he appears with a guitar on six of them - all prior to 1970. Which sort of plays into what I said - early Elvis was always him and a guitar. It wasn't until later in his career that he started to be wear jumpsuits and do karate on stage instead of playing guitar. ''Once notable, always notable.'' [[User:Kellymoat|Kellymoat]] ([[User talk:Kellymoat|talk]]) 13:30, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Elvis could barely play guitar anyway, regardless of how often he held it - shouldn't be listed as one of his main instruments IMO. [[User:Zabboo|Zabboo]] ([[User talk:Zabboo|talk]]) 21:35, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
:Coming from you, I find that surprising - being that Lennon asked him if he was going to start playing guitar again on the new album, and when Elvis said yes, Lennon said that he would buy that album. [[User:Kellymoat|Kellymoat]] ([[User talk:Kellymoat|talk]]) 21:46, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
::Don't know what Lennon has to do with this discussion, but even if Elvis played guitar on a album (or two for that matter) does not make it a primary instrument. Elvis was/is known as a vocalist, always has, always will be, regardless how many instruments he played. - [[User:FlightTime|'''FlightTime''']] ([[User talk:FlightTime|'''open channel''']]) 22:18, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
:::Lennon has ''nothing'' to do with this discussion. Just because I'm a fan of the Beatles doesn't mean I consider John Lennon's word law. I agree with FlightTime. - [[User:Zabboo|Zabboo]] ([[User talk:Zabboo|talk]]) 22:49, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

[[User:Zabboo|Zabboo]], [[User:Kellymoat|Kellymoat]], [[User:FlightTime|FlightTime]], it appears the consensus here is pretty solidly against including these instruments in the infobox. I am removing them accordingly. [[User:Cjhard|Cjhard]] ([[User talk:Cjhard|talk]]) 06:02, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

==Why were my edits reverted?==
I corrected an error and added some further details. Why were these [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elvis_Presley&diff=791732779&oldid=791732624 edits reverted]? First, Elvis was a singer, not a singer-songwriter. See [http://www.elvis-history-blog.com/elvis-songwriters.html]. Second, he still slept in his mother's bed when he was a teen. This is of some importance, as it shows how unusually close he was to his mother. See also Elaine Dundy, ''Elvis and Gladys''. Third, it should be mentioned that he died when using the toilet, as it is common knowledge that "the King died on the throne". For the latter detail I have cited a recent Oxford University Press publication (Joel Williamson, ''Elvis Presley: A Southern Life''). [[User:ADogCalledElvis|ADogCalledElvis]] ([[User talk:ADogCalledElvis|talk]]) 04:38, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
:No comment? So the error should remain in the article and you are not really interested in improving it? I see. [[User:ADogCalledElvis|ADogCalledElvis]] ([[User talk:ADogCalledElvis|talk]]) 04:44, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
::You're right that Elvis was a singer, not a singer-songwriter. I'll change the article accordingly. I don't have much of an opinion on the other changes. [[User:Cjhard|Cjhard]] ([[User talk:Cjhard|talk]]) 00:47, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

==Traumatic Brain Injury==
Based on [https://www.practicalpainmanagement.com/pain/other/brain-injury/elvis-presley-head-trauma-autoimmunity-pain-early-death?page=0,4 this article], Elvis most likely suffered from traumatic brain injuries due to drug overdoses, and also due to falling down and hitting his head, which would partially explain his decline and changes in personality. I recommend that we add references to this article regarding this issue, so the reader may have a better understanding of what was happening to Elvis in his final years. [[User:Mistercontributer|Mistercontributer]] ([[User talk:Mistercontributer|talk]]) 14:09, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
:I posted the above a couple of days ago over this past weekend. That should have provided enough time for the editors who are interested in this article to state their opinion regarding this issue. Since there are no objections I plan to go ahead and add reference to [https://www.practicalpainmanagement.com/pain/other/brain-injury/elvis-presley-head-trauma-autoimmunity-pain-early-death?page=0,4 this article].

'''''In a Heartbeat''''' is a 2017 [[computer animation|computer-animated]] [[short film]] produced by [[Ringling College of Art and Design]]. Written and directed by Esteban Bravo and Beth David, the project was funded through [[Kickstarter]] where it racked up a total of $14,191 from 416 backers on a goal of $3,000.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.slashfilm.com/short-film-in-a-heartbeat/|title=LGBT Animated Short 'In A Heartbeat' is a Tender Love Story That Could Rival Pixar Shorts|last=Bui|first=Hoai-Tran|website=[[/Film]]|date=August 2, 2017|accessdate=August 5, 2017}}</ref> The short film concerns a closeted boy who has a crush on another boy and his heart's desire to be with him. The short has received wide praise on various platforms.

==Plot==
Sherwin, a shy ginger haired boy, arrives at school awaiting the arrival of the handsome Jonathan. Sherwin hides in a tree and watches as Jonathan walks by reading a book and eating an apple. Suddenly, Sherwin's heart begins to beat rapidly and becomes [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]], leaving his body and chasing after Jonathan. Sherwin attempts to grab and hide his heart resulting in various awkward encounters with Jonathan. Eventually, Sherwin chases his heart inside the school and grabs it. Then the heart grabs Jonathan's finger. The situation becomes uncomfortable as other students see the two and look on in disdain. The heart breaks in two and Sherwin runs away with one half. Outside the school, Sherwin sits solemnly when Jonathan walks up and sits next to him. They join the heart back together and it happily springs to life. The scene fades to black with Sherwin and Jonathan's hearts glowing and they form into one.

==Production==
Production on the short started in January 2016, when Esteban Bravo and Beth David were approached by a friend to produce a short film about a boy's heart popping out of their chest. The initial pitch featured a boy and a girl, but at the last minute decided to switch it to a same-sex couple in order to make the story feel "more personal". They made a Kickstarter page in November 2016 to complete the film and earned more than enough of the requested amount. A trailer was released on May 17, 2017 and the short film was released on July 31, 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/04/movies/in-a-heartbeat-movie.html|title=YouTube Falls Hard for ‘In a Heartbeat,’ a Boy-Meets-Boy Story|last=Caron|first=Christina|website=The New York Times|date=August 4, 2017|accessdate=August 5, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/aug/04/in-a-heartbeat-short-film-youtube|title=In a Heartbeat: the story behind the animated gay love short that's gone viral|last=Nevins|first=Jake|website=The Guardian|date=August 4, 2017|accessdate=August 5, 2017}}</ref>

== Personal ==

Why is there no personal section? So much to report. (I did not go thru the 20 archives of Talk)[[User:Mwinog2777|Mwinog2777]] ([[User talk:Mwinog2777|talk]]) 15:17, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
:1) That's basically asking for trouble since such sections are frequent magnets of trivia, fancruft, and gossip. Not a risk worth taking. 2) All of the relationships worth adding have already been incorporated throughout "life and career", and she's known to have worked with partners professionally in the past (i.e. Co-starred with Sean Penn in ''Shanghai Surprise'' and with Warren Beaty in ''Dick Tracy'', Guy Ritchie directed the film ''Swept Away'' that she starred in). [[User:SNUGGUMS|Snuggums]] ([[User talk:SNUGGUMS|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/SNUGGUMS|edits]]) 17:36, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

:We don't need a specific "Personal life" section because the information about Madonna's personal life has been incorporated chronologically, mixed together with her professional career. I think it's a better presentation. [[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet|talk]]) 20:09, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

:::::Seems like big news; all the major media outlets are into it; from letter seemed intense. I recommend we find a spot for it; what do the others suggest.

:::::::If Tupac is in fact worth adding, then it's probably best to mention him within the 1992–1997 section when [http://abcnews.go.com/amp/Entertainment/tupac-shakur-letter-reveals-split-madonna-shes-white/story?id=48458727 it covers the time period where they dated and he wrote the letter].

I don't know if it is really relevant to include.--[[User:Jennica|Jennica]]✿ / [[User_talk:Jennica| talk]] 02:09, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Is relevant because Tupac is famous. I don't understand how trash articles like Taylor Swift or Beyonce can have a entire section and here is irrelevant because is already mentioned. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/190.92.28.48|190.92.28.48]] ([[User talk:190.92.28.48#top|talk]]) 03:42, 8 July 2017 (UTC) 
::But then you could argue that Sean Penn is also famous and he doesn't have his own section. This article is just different and the consensus for years has been that this article doesn't require a Personal life section. --[[User:Jennica|Jennica]]✿ / [[User_talk:Jennica| talk]] 03:51, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

And there is the problem, consensus are generally made by users that don't know her career and how to create a good article. Sean Penn is famous and Madonna too but her career is a entire definition of celebrity and pop star.

This article just has a little inclusion of her husbands or boyfriend and there is more relevant content. But not because is Madonna. It's ok with Elizabeth Taylor or other entertainers but not with her. Songwriter "skills" in Taylor Swift can be named in several sections and is ok. The same for Beyonce with her celebrity or Mariah Carey with her "voice skill" can be named in other sections and in a entire section but with Madonna not. Just a comparative. - {{u|190.92.28.48}}

:I have recently come to study Madonna's career as part of Uni media and culture impact on music work at Sussex. I can really vouch in terms of the content writing and personal life are just a bunch load of rubbish. And IP user, I really do not see your point. Madonna has huge subsections dedicated to her musical aspects, video influences etc, as well as her songwriting skills also. Problem is that content regarding Madonna is so huge, that if we start including each and every subset of her celebrity life in separate sections as you are looking for currently, we will be in a soup. —[[User:IndianBio|I'''B''']] [ [[User talk:IndianBio|Poke]] ] 04:22, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
:{{u|190.92.28.48}} - The fact that you put "skills" and "voice skill" in quotes says it all. It's all according to your opinion. Most of the people who participate in such consensus discussions ''do'' know how to make good articles.. this article is well-policed and contains the pertinent information, in chronological order. It doesn't need a personal life section. --[[User:Jennica|Jennica]]✿ / [[User_talk:Jennica| talk]] 04:23, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

::I added 20 words to the end of the 1992-1997 section about the relationship. I believe this did not go against any consensus. [[User:Mwinog2777|Mwinog2777]] ([[User talk:Mwinog2777|talk]]) 17:59, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
:::I don't like it. It doesn't seem like it fits, but that's just me. Especially since the section ends on 1997. Also, don't do double spaces. --[[User:Jennica|Jennica]]✿ / [[User_talk:Jennica| talk]] 18:52, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

:You are absolutely correct {{ping|Jennica}}. I am actually kind of against mentioning any timeline here, until I can check J.

== rough-edged beginning ==

The intro section is significantly overlong, and packed with unsupported claims and fannish editorializing. I mean, ''regarded as'' BY WHOM? ''known for pushing the boundaries'' BY WHOM? ''has also frequently reinvented'' SAYS WHO? ''Her musical productions ... have often by acclaimed by music critics.'' NAME ONE.

Easily half of the section more properly belongs in the following '''Life and career''', and in fact is pretty much made redundant by it. [[User:Weeb Dingle|Weeb Dingle]] ([[User talk:Weeb Dingle|talk]]) 19:20, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

{{tmbox|type=style|text=[[Elvis Presley#Questions over cause of death|''Questions over cause of death'']] gives the balanced views of various experts. Please note that although Nichopoulos, Presley's main physician, was at the time ''"exonerated of criminal liability for the singer's death, ... His license was suspended for three months. It was permanently revoked in the 1990s after the Tennessee Medical Board brought new charges of over-prescription."'' Consensus among regular editors who judge it important to preserve a reliable, mainstream view in this encyclopedia article is that the discredited doctor's opinions, such as those published in his 2010 book, and including his attempt to emphasize constipation as the likely cause of death, should not be propagated by Wikipedia, and hence receive no coverage in this article.}}

== Infobox instrument, again ==

Elvis is mainly known as a singer, did he often play guitar ? yes, was it his "'''primary'''" instrument ? no. Did Elvis play piano ? of course, was it his "'''primary'''" instrument ? no, in fact you'd be hard pressed to find him playing piano on stage. Elvis' "'''main'''" instrument was his voice, nobody is saying he didn't play other instruments, but according to the [[Template:Infobox_musical_artist#instrument|Infobox guidelines]] "'''secondary'''" instruments of an artist are addressed in the article body, not the infobox. {{u|Kellymoat}} <s>disagrees and</s> has [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elvis_Presley&diff=prev&oldid=789728539 asked for consensus], so here we are. - [[User:FlightTime|'''FlightTime''']] ([[User talk:FlightTime|'''open channel''']]) 11:49, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

:<s>Don't put words in my mouth.</s> I did not voice an opinion. I said that if you want to change the instruments in the Infobox, that you need to get get a consensus. In fact, I am not sure why there isn't a note saying as such. [[User:Kellymoat|Kellymoat]] ([[User talk:Kellymoat|talk]]) 12:07, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
::One discussion from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Elvis_Presley/Archive_31#A_Few_Important_Questions......_.28Piano.2C_Arranger.2FProducer.2C_Philanthropy.29 archives]. - [[User:FlightTime|'''FlightTime''']] ([[User talk:FlightTime|'''open channel''']]) 12:42, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

:But I will offer my opinion. When you say 'Elvis', I do not conjure up an image of him and a piano. As a fan, I know he plays. But it isn't my first or second thought. I am fine with excluding piano from the infobox. I can't see why we would consider removing guitar from a list of primary instruments. Sure, in the later years (Post War/Vegas era), he did more singing than playing. But look at all of those album covers (and movie posters) with him and a guitar. Sure, he isn't in the same league as Yngwie Malmsteem, as far as talent goes, but he definitely is known for guitar. [[User:Kellymoat|Kellymoat]] ([[User talk:Kellymoat|talk]]) 17:48, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

::He's still not known as a guitarist. Movies and posters do not count because it can be argued that the guitars are props. The only time I can remember him playing guitar in a concert situation was the 68 special and again it was probably just to give his hands something to do since he had to remain seated. - [[User:FlightTime|'''FlightTime''']] ([[User talk:FlightTime|'''open channel''']]) 18:28, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
:::Which is why I put movies in the parenthesis and made the main argument about the albums. [[User:Kellymoat|Kellymoat]] ([[User talk:Kellymoat|talk]]) 18:50, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

:::According to the discography page, the [[Elvis_Presley_albums_discography#Studio_albums|studio album]] articles have him listed as playing guitar on every album (except for 2 that do not even have him credited for singing). And of their corresponding album covers, he appears with a guitar on six of them - all prior to 1970. Which sort of plays into what I said - early Elvis was always him and a guitar. It wasn't until later in his career that he started to be wear jumpsuits and do karate on stage instead of playing guitar. ''Once notable, always notable.'' [[User:Kellymoat|Kellymoat]] ([[User talk:Kellymoat|talk]]) 13:30, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Elvis could barely play guitar anyway, regardless of how often he held it - shouldn't be listed as one of his main instruments IMO. [[User:Zabboo|Zabboo]] ([[User talk:Zabboo|talk]]) 21:35, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
:Coming from you, I find that surprising - being that Lennon asked him if he was going to start playing guitar again on the new album, and when Elvis said yes, Lennon said that he would buy that album. [[User:Kellymoat|Kellymoat]] ([[User talk:Kellymoat|talk]]) 21:46, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
::Don't know what Lennon has to do with this discussion, but even if Elvis played guitar on a album (or two for that matter) does not make it a primary instrument. Elvis was/is known as a vocalist, always has, always will be, regardless how many instruments he played. - [[User:FlightTime|'''FlightTime''']] ([[User talk:FlightTime|'''open channel''']]) 22:18, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
:::Lennon has ''nothing'' to do with this discussion. Just because I'm a fan of the Beatles doesn't mean I consider John Lennon's word law. I agree with FlightTime. - [[User:Zabboo|Zabboo]] ([[User talk:Zabboo|talk]]) 22:49, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

[[User:Zabboo|Zabboo]], [[User:Kellymoat|Kellymoat]], [[User:FlightTime|FlightTime]], it appears the consensus here is pretty solidly against including these instruments in the infobox. I am removing them accordingly. [[User:Cjhard|Cjhard]] ([[User talk:Cjhard|talk]]) 06:02, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

==Why were my edits reverted?==
I corrected an error and added some further details. Why were these [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elvis_Presley&diff=791732779&oldid=791732624 edits reverted]? First, Elvis was a singer, not a singer-songwriter. See [http://www.elvis-history-blog.com/elvis-songwriters.html]. Second, he still slept in his mother's bed when he was a teen. This is of some importance, as it shows how unusually close he was to his mother. See also Elaine Dundy, ''Elvis and Gladys''. Third, it should be mentioned that he died when using the toilet, as it is common knowledge that "the King died on the throne". For the latter detail I have cited a recent Oxford University Press publication (Joel Williamson, ''Elvis Presley: A Southern Life''). [[User:ADogCalledElvis|ADogCalledElvis]] ([[User talk:ADogCalledElvis|talk]]) 04:38, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
:No comment? So the error should remain in the article and you are not really interested in improving it? I see. [[User:ADogCalledElvis|ADogCalledElvis]] ([[User talk:ADogCalledElvis|talk]]) 04:44, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
::You're right that Elvis was a singer, not a singer-songwriter. I'll change the article accordingly. I don't have much of an opinion on the other changes. [[User:Cjhard|Cjhard]] ([[User talk:Cjhard|talk]]) 00:47, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

==Traumatic Brain Injury==
Based on [https://www.practicalpainmanagement.com/pain/other/brain-injury/elvis-presley-head-trauma-autoimmunity-pain-early-death?page=0,4 this article], Elvis most likely suffered from traumatic brain injuries due to drug overdoses, and also due to falling down and hitting his head, which would partially explain his decline and changes in personality. I recommend that we add references to this article regarding this issue, so the reader may have a better understanding of what was happening to Elvis in his final years. [[User:Mistercontributer|Mistercontributer]] ([[User talk:Mistercontributer|talk]]) 14:09, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
:I posted the above a couple of days ago over this past weekend. That should have provided enough time for the editors who are interested in this article to state their opinion regarding this issue. Since there are no objections I plan to go ahead and add reference to [https://www.practicalpainmanagement.com/pain/other/brain-injury/elvis-presley-head-trauma-autoimmunity-pain-early-death?page=0,4 this article]. If anyone has any comments, questions, or concerns please notify me on this talk page. thanks - [[User:Mistercontributer|Mistercontributer]] ([[User talk:Mistercontributer|talk]]) 23:45, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

===AAA / Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide===

====Early storylines (2007–2009)====
A few weeks after losing the FILL Women's Championship García made her debut for [[Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide|AAA]] as the ''[[wrestling mask|enmascarada]]'' (masked) character Sexy Star, a ''[[Face (professional wrestling)|técnica]]'' (fan favorite character, or Face).<ref name=AAASexyStar/> Her first match for AAA saw her on the losing side of a [[Professional wrestling tag team match types#Trios rules (Relevos Australianos)|''Relevos Atómicos de locura'' match]] (Spanish for "Eight-man madness match") where she teamed up with [[Billy Boy (wrestler)|Billy Boy]], [[Octagóncito (AAA)|Octagóncito]] and [[Pimpinela Escarlata]] losing to [[Faby Apache]], [[Gran Apache]], Mini Chessman and Polvo de Estrellas.<ref name=Lucha2007>{{cite news|title=2007 Lo Mejor de la Lucha Mexicana|work=SuperLuchas|id=issue 244|date=December 26, 2007|url=http://superluchas.net/?p=1491|accessdate=July 11, 2009|language=Spanish}}</ref> After joining AAA she received further training from both [[Abismo Negro]] and Gran Apache, AAA's main trainer for ''luchadoras''.<ref name=SL360/> Sexy Star participated in the 2007 ''[[AAA Reina de Reinas Championship|Reina de Reinas]]'' ([[Spanish language|Spanish]] for "Queen of Queens") tournament, and was one of six women to survive a 16-woman [[torneo cibernetico]] match. The finals of the tournament saw [[Tiffany (luchadora)|Tiffany]] outlast Sexy Star, [[Cinthia Moreno]], Faby Apache, [[Miss Janeth]], and Rossy Moreno to win the tournament.<ref name="Title2007"/> The following year Sexy Star once again competed in the annual ''Reina de Reinas'' tournament, but lost to [[Mari Apache]] in a five-way match that also included [[Chikayo Nagashima]], [[Martha Villalobos]], and [[Sonoko Kato]].<ref name=SL296>{{cite news|title=Lo Mejor de la Lucha Libre Mexicana 2008|work=SuperLuchas|id=issue 296|date=January 6, 2008|url=http://superluchas.net/?p=11145|accessdate=July 11, 2009|language=Spanish}}</ref>

====Teaming with Billy Boy (2009)====
Sexy Star's first major angle in AAA began in early 2009 as she was written into a long running storyline between real life husband and wife [[Billy Boy (wrestler)|Billy Boy]] and Faby Apache. She was introduced as the new object of Billy Boy's affections after Billy Boy had turned ''[[Heel (professional wrestling)|rúdo]]'' (bad guy, or Heel) on Faby Apache. When [[Aero Star]] entered the picture as a possible suitor for Faby Apache, Billy Boy acted like he did not care as he himself had found a new love in Sexy Star, who in the process turned ''[[Heel (professional wrestling)|rúdo]]'' (villain) in the storyline.<ref name=SL360>{{cite news|title=Sexy Star "Toda mi vida he sido una chava sensual|work=SuperLuchas|id=issue 360|date=April 19, 2010|language=Spanish}}</ref><ref name=LaRazaMarch202009>{{cite web|url=http://www.wrestleview.com/news2009/1237534446.php|title=Viva La Raza!
