The House Money Effect
"Gamblers call this 'playing with the house's money'".

The term was first coined by economists Richard Thaler and Eric Johnson (economist) in their paper, 'Gambling with the house money and trying to break even'.

Asynchronous Follow/Asymmetric Follow/Asymmetric Friendship
So I was amazed that the following concepts where not discussed on WP:
 * Asynchronous Follow
 * Asymmetric Follow
 * Asymmetric Friendship
 * Asynchronous Follow Model

AFAIK this is a little strange, I don't believe they are WP:GNG.

Links: ''Asymmetric Follow is a core pattern for Web 2.0, in which a social network user can have many people following them without a need for reciprocity. Assmmetric Follow is unlike email for example, which tends to be within small groups, with all users knowing each other (newsletters are a clear exception here). If you see a social network where someone has 5000 followers and only follows 150 back – that’s Asymmetric Follow.''

Robert Hammond
Robert Hammond was a Colonel in the New Model Army commanding a regiment of foot, he was succeeded by his lieutenant-colonel Isaac Ewer in 1647 who had transferred to the New Model Army in April 1645.

Hammond then became the Parliamentary Governor of the Isle of Wight, when King Charles I of England was forced to flee from Hampton Court on 11 November 1647 believing Hammond to be sympathetic he came to the Isle of Wight. Hammond, however, was opposed to Charles, whom he confined in Carisbrooke Castle. Initially under the guise of protection.

After November 1648 the Council of Officers sent Ewer to relieve Hammond of of his charge of King Charles.

John Woodville
John Woodville is the brother of Elizabeth Woodville, Edward IV's queen. Brother of Anthony Woodville, 2nd Earl Rivers and Richard Woodville, 3rd Earl Rivers. And father Richard Woodville, 1st Earl Rivers.

That was nothing compared to the marriages the queen arranged for her family, the most outrageous being when her 20-year-old brother John Woodville married Lady Katherine Neville, daughter of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland by Joan Beaufort, widow of John Mowbray, 2nd Duke of Norfolk and dowager Duchess of Norfolk. The wealthy Katherine had been widowed three times and was probably in her sixties.

George Carey, 2nd Baron Hunsdon is Sir George Carey Carisbrooke Castle Robert Johnson (composer) Newport (Isle of Wight) (UK Parliament constituency)

John Grey, 7th Baron Ferrers of Groby
John Grey, 7th Baron Ferrers of Groby (d. 22 February 1461) In about 1452, Elizabeth Woodville married Sir John Grey, they had two sons from the marriage, Thomas (later Marquess of Dorset) and Richard.

Bradgate Park was cleared by the Greys of Groby in the 15th century; the construction of Bradgate House was begun in 14?? by Sir John, the ruins of the house are still visible at the centre of the park.

He was killed at the Second Battle of St Albans in 1461, fighting for the Lancastrian cause. (This was ironic, as Elizabeth later married Edward IV who was the Yorkist claimant to the throne.)

The Reichstag Fire

Tonquin
From the article Tonquin: '''While trading with the local inhabitants, Captain Thorn tossed some otter pelts at a local chief that was on board the ship trading. This insult lead to the locals returning to the ship the next day to seek revenge. ''' After just watching this on Discovery I am no sure the demise occurred as quoted. According to the program there are a number of versions coming from both written and oral history. I believe some more research is required on the subject. Webhat (talk) 04:29, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Levellers
In the section Levellers there is the following text: "´´It first appeared in print in a book written by Charles I called 'His Majesties Most Gracious Declaration', first sold around 15 November 1647.´´" On the 11th of November 1647 the King Charles R send a message to the Speaker of the House of Lords in which he talks about the Levellers, this is a letter in which he states that he is forced to flee from Hampton Court. The King arrived on the Isle of Wight on the 14th and stays with the Governor Robert Hammond. And as the King was effectively being held a prisoner by Colonel Hammond long after the 16th. Which made me wonder who started selling the book, and whether the book was sold despite or because of the tumult. As this all occurs in between the First English Civil War, which ended May of 1646, and the Second English Civil War. Naturally at the time 'His Majesties Most Gracious Declaration' was published there was no foresight that predicted the Second English Civil War, but it might be considered slightly inflammatory. And although I don't doubt the book is genuine, it is plain that Charles I had little to do with the sale as he was on the Isle of Wight. Webhat 01:14, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Woad
Woad, Woad Warriors 06/Jan/2007

Are these guys in anyway connected to the Woad plant? If so, something like the following should be added: "Julius Caesar tells us (de Bello Gallico) that the Britanni used to dye their bodies with woad (vitrum), which made them look terrifying in battle. The Picts may have gotten their name (Latin Picti which means painted folk or possibly tattooed folk) from their practice of going into battle naked except for decorations made with woad war paint."

Nomination of Passive drinking for deletion
A discussion has begun about whether the article Passive drinking, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Passive drinking until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. SummerPhD (talk) 02:29, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned vs. Notable
Your comments in adding the orphan tag to Pennsport (string band) and Adelphia (fancies) ("Is an orphan, and should be deleted under WP:GNG") seem to indicate that you believe the GNG requires that articles not be orphaned. I do not see any indication of this.

"If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article." Both articles cite numerous reliable sources that are independent of their subjects. If, despite those sources, you feel they are not notable, AfD is the proper venue. - SummerPhD (talk) 00:36, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Whatever! You are free to continue this intelectual masturbation, you've already proven yourself to be a halfwit not worthy of my time. Have fun! Webhat (talk) 09:12, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Webhat, calling other folks "halfwit" is not very civil, and civility is encourages here, even required. But that's not why I'm here--I saw the SPI you started, and looked into the evidence you presented. Met alle respect, let it go: there is no evidence of sock puppetry there, and starting an SPI as a response to a deletion discussion smacks of knee-jerking. It isn't going to go any farther, and withdrawing it (with an apology) might be the best thing to do here. Het allerbeste, Drmies (talk) 15:04, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I started the SPI based on the evidence of Sock Puppetry, the only knee jerk was examining the user's history. This led me to a valid Sock Puppetry accusation, you may think it's invalid. I thought your English was invalid, although you pretend to contribute at a professional level. Anyway although you are quite welcome to come to my Talk page to tell me what to do, now you can fuck off and not come back again. How is that for civil? Webhat (talk) 20:16, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I think that's pretty bad. You have no arguments for that ridiculous accusation, you got laughed out of court--a normal namechange was all it was. Then you go around insulting people who are actually contributing to the project, you take a stab back at me at Articles for deletion/Travis Michael Garland (unsigned, like your remark at the SPI), and you tell me to fuck off. Oh, I'll gladly fuck off--I got no business being here wasting time and words on rude people like you. Tot in de pruimentijd. Drmies (talk) 05:45, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm rude? You're the one who came to my Talk page demanding an apology, do you go into the houses of strangers and make demands of them too? I have been using and contributing since 2003, which I'm sure you know, so wikibots which auto sign messages do not come as a surprises to me, but apparently they do to you. While you were at it you proceded to butcher my native language; civility is encouraged here ; farther rather than further; not to mention the smattering of Dutch. Furthermore you should closely examine the dates of the contributions - this wasn't a knee jerk reaction as you suggested, I actually took my time - even in the case of a name change the dates of the dates on the contributions do NOT add up. Lastly I'd like to defend my calling SummerPhD a halfwit: the comment "Is an orphan, and should be deleted under WP:GNG" clearly makes use of an serial comma which I added to avoid ambiguity, which proves she can't read. And anybody who adds PhD to their name usually can't get through life on their own merit, anybody adding it to their handle is usually a halfwit. Anybody having a trigger finger on the Wikipedia delete button doesn't live up to the title the love of wisdom. Anyway I win, my contribution is still up and I get to have a fun flame war with an idiot on my Talk page. Webhat (talk) 23:02, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

 * I believe you have edited the article on William Gemmell Cochran back in 2006. I now did the following:
 * I have added a reference to Cochran's C test.
 * The list of articles already refered to the Cochran test, however this was Cochran's Q test. I have made the latter reference more specific by making it appear as such.
