Linear Formations
The movement away from phalanx-like formations of pike protected by handgunners towards shallow formations of handgunners protected by progessively fewer pikes. William Louis of Nassau thought that six rotating ranks of musketeers were needed to maintain a continuous fire. Gustavus Adolpus used only six ranks thanks to newly introduced drill and the professionalisation of the Swedish army under him. This kind of formation would get prgessively thinner untill its' peak in the age of Wellington with the 'Thin Red Line'. It would eventually be replaced by skirmish order at the time of the invention of the breach loading rifle that allowed the Prussians during the Franco-Prussian War to move and fire independently of the large scale formations and fight in small, mobile units.
- Formation (military) needs a lot of expansion before we split it into separate articles. Your help could be used there. --Dystopos 15:48, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
- I modified your text to be more general and added it to Linear#Military tactical formations, but additional material definitely belongs at Formation (military), although the entire :Category:Military tactics looks like it could use some re-organization. --Dystopos 15:57, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
[[George Hickenlooper]]
George Hickenlooper was born in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, the 15th of May, 1965. He became interested in filmaking very quickly as a child. His desire to make movies came in part from his great uncle, Leopold Stokowski's involvement in the making of the hit Disney animated film, Fantasia (1940), where Leopold was the conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra. If had only been for Great Uncle Leopold, however, George may have started a career in music. His father and mother's careers were therefor essential to his urge to become a director. His father was a playwrite, and his mother, a leader to a rebel theatre group against the War in Vietnam. The first 8mm films were animated and George made them with his friend, Kirk Wise, who would later go on to become the director of the widely popular Disney movie Beauty and the Beast. While he was in school, George Hickenlooper made short movies that were premiered on Public Television in St.Louis and Kansas City. After graduating from Yale with a B.A. of History and Film Studies in 1986, Hickenlooper interned for the producer Roger Corman, and in 1988, he started his directing career with Art, Acting, and the Suicide Chair: Dennis Hopper, which was a short documentary about Dennis Hopper, the actor or director in films such as Waterworld and Speed. The next big break was when he wrote the book, REEL CONVERSATIONS, in 1991, and in the same year when he made the movie Hearts of Darkness: A Filmaker's Apocalypse, the documentary on the making of the movie Apocalypse Now.

- I created a stub. We'd need a source to attest to the influence of Stokowski, etc. --Dystopos 21:03, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

The pageant wagon was a medieval theater style that utilized literally a wagon three stories tall with the acting stage built in. The plays typically start in heaven and end with the mouth of hell; on the wagon, a trap door in the floor.
- I've created a redirect and added a bit from this to the Mystery play article, which needs some work. --Dystopos 17:50, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[[Mercury fountain]]
{{#switch:|accept={{afc a}}|mm={{afc mm}}|#default={{afc r}}}}
A mercury fountain is a fountain using mercury as liquid. The only known existing merury fountain was created by Alexander Calder in 1937 in remembrance to the miners who were killed at the mercury mines at Almadén as memorial.
This mercury fountain, which is at the Fundació Miró in Barcelona, is nowadays for safety reasons behind glass.
Mercury fountains existed in Islamic Spain at some castles in Islamic Spain, the most famous one was at the Kasr-al-Kholaifa at Cordoba.
