If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the wikipedia:Village pump. Cheers! --user:maveric149 ---- I note that you have added a whole lot of new links to Distributed power (and the danish [http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribueret_elproduktion Distribueret_elproduktion] that are more appropriately Renewable energy. I have just expanded the basic article. Can you please review all those links as I do not think a lot of them are really appropriate to this topic but should be on some other more appropriate page. Would you also like to translate the english to danish? ---- User:Cameron Dewe 10:28 14 Jun 2003 (UTC) ---- Your article on Distributed power would be more accurately titled Distributed generation. It is an article which fits well into the series of articles on electricity, electricity market, electric power transmission, electricity generation, and electricity distribution, which I have been working on. Distributed power is more about the distribution of power whereas "distributed generation" is a topical subject associated with how local generation can contribute to how future electricity needs can be met. I agree with User:Cameron Dewe that there are too many unrelated links. I would be happy to cooperate with you on the article, if you wish. User:Tiles 05:46 15 Jun 2003 (UTC) ---- Hello, Glenn. I removed the links to news articles from Archaeology because the article could very quickly get too long if we carried on including them. It would be different if you could guarantee to update that section at regular intervals. See Talk:Archaeology for a fuller explanation. User:Deb 14:01, 16 Aug 2003 (UTC) ---- Hi Glenn, I've removed links from the scientific name of eg Whooper Swan because it's a self link back to the article. It's better just to create the redirect from Cygnus cygnus, which is already the case for, eg American style lower case versions like Whooper swan. You can create the redirect article from the browser navigation bar, without having a real link. User:Jimfbleak 10:28, 4 Oct 2003 (UTC) ---- Hi, I've moved Ringnecked Pheasant to Common Pheasant, and redirected all the numerous links to that. I hope this makes sense, if not we had better discuss it before we get into an edit war (although I'll be out most of today). You seem to have Green Pheasant as a subspecies, my book gives it as a species, but I've no strong views on that.User:Jimfbleak 05:38, 6 Oct 2003 (UTC) ---- Glenn, in case nobody else has shown their appreciation, I'd like to thank you for all your work cross-referencing with the Danish wikipedia. User:Josh Grosse ---- Hello. Stop making Kielesguhr link to itself as I've said before. I can understand making the mistake once, but to insist on it even after corrected I do not understand. User:Morwen 10:44, Dec 27, 2003 (UTC) Hi - please don't make self-links - that is articles that link to a redirect to the same page. It is a waste of time for someone clicking on them. People keep removing them but you keep readding them! User:Secretlondon 10:46, Dec 27, 2003 (UTC) :Sorry I forgot. But it is convinient to check if all references are present and point to the right article. User:Glenn 11:19, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC) ---- Hello! I have a request, assuming that you speak dannish... (Actually my father grew up in Copenhagen) Can you translate the Pachypodium lamerei of the danish wiki to the english? We have some Pachypodiums but not that one. Cheers!

Glenn, whose full legal name consists of the single word "Glenn," is an American performer and artist. As a clown he was known variously as "Bongo", "Bongo the Clown", or "The Great Bongo". Glenn was born Glenn Harding Englert on February 12, 1957 in Arlington, Texas to Edith Englert and Richard Englert. Richard Englert is also known as Rusty Harding, the "boomerang engineer." Glenn legally changed his name, removing both his last name and middle name, shortly after his father "honoured the family name" (as Glenn has described it) by becoming a 'deadbeat dad' some time in the late 1970's. As of 1994-07-18 -- when Mrs. Englert sued Richard Englert's brother Harry, to garnish real estate payments which Harry was paying to Richard -- the Child support [http://www.risad.com/1994_TX_41118.htm debt] was still outstanding, (She lost the suit by failing to specifically plead fraudulent transfer on Harry's behalf -- instead citing authority for the proposition that "in a proper case, fraud need not be specially pleaded".) (see an extensive treatment of the case at: [http://www.risad.com/1994_TX_41118.htm the Riser Adkisson website]) Due to Glenn's contention that he was exempt from the Federal withholding of income tax from his wages, (a belief with which he claimed the U.S. Internal Revenue Service was in complete accord), he found himself unable to work at a normal job, and took to both creating works of art and performing as a clown, under the stage name of ''Bongo the Clown''. Glenn has created artworks in numerous categories: sculpture, from palm trees to earthworks to twisted wire; fiber and fabric assemblies; woven 'blankets' of urban detritus; glass assemblies, and stained glass; splattered paint; computer graphics; spiderwebs and shadow boxes. Glenn manufactured (for another artist, whose art it is) a massive sculptural construction made primarily of thick bulletproof glass which is part the Smithsonian Institution's collection. His largest work, ''"Ku"'' created from the 22-foot (unit of length) stump of a live date palm, is a likeness of the fierce toothy visage of ''Ku'ka'ili'moku'' the Hawai'ian god of War, carved with a chainsaw over the course of a three month period in 1981. "Ku" is rooted in the ground, at the private residence of the client who commissioned the work. Glenn's stained glass craftsmanship can be seen in the stained glass lamps on the tavern set of the American sitcom television show ''Cheers'', which were designed by and co-created with Seymore Saidner. [[Image:George Gray Points Out Glenn's Bald Spot.jpg|framed|left|George Gray points out Glenn's bald spot, in an effort to distract him from juggling.]] Between June, 1980 and the mid-1990s, "Bongo" gained notoriety as both a "producing clown" and as a founding member of the award-winning North Valley Clown Alley. During this period he created a major innovation to the design of the ancient toy/juggling prop, the Devil stick, which he called Devil stick#Modern sticks. By freely circulating the secrets of his design to other Juggling, he placed his invention into the public domain, thereby "protecting it for free". His design was further refined in a collaboration with two other stick jugglers, Todd Farnbach and Todd Ullman. The three inventors claim that this collaboration occurred inside the hollow trunk of a live Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) in Richardson Grove State Park. As Bongo his Clown performances were an "absurd melange of comedy and juggling blended with hard-edged politics observations", and featured comic juggling and prop comedy. Bongo often performed with Clownzo, (Terry Teene), his friend and mentor. Glenn eventually "retired" from the clown business when it became, in his words, "too profitable to be fun any more", though he continues to do occasional free performances for causes he considers to be worthy. ==Appearances== Glenn appeared in the Roger Corman movie Overdrive as the Pit stop in the fight scene at the racetrack and appears briefly in the Strip club scene. As Bongo, he appeared in the Hallowe'en video ''Frankenstein and the All-Star Monster Band''. Sans whiteface, Glenn's Devil stick juggling was featured in an appearance on the second incarnation of The Gong Show, ''Extreme Gong'', a show that uses audience telephone votes to rate performances. Though he wasn't "gonged", and was encouraged to continue his performance into the commercial break, the top prize was won by a stand-up comic who performed as a 'caricature German soldier' (''"... my mother is form Frankfurt und my father iss from Hamburg -- und so, I am a cross between a hamburger und a frankfurter !"''). As of 2004, Glenn lives a quiet life in the San Fernando Valley suburb of Granada Hills, Los Angeles, California in Southern California, tending to a bonsai ''Japan Japanese Black Pine'' tree that is over forty years old. ==Quotes== * ''"Now is when things happen"'' * ''"Now you've hit the point of the nail."'' as Bongo: * ''"I was running late, so I got dressed in the park."'' * (when asked his name): ''"Hi, I'm Bongo - Bongo The Clown, The Great Bongo -- my friends call me 'Bongo'... you can call me Mister The Clown"'' * ''"...it's not rocket science, it's actually difficult!"''

There are a few hits on Rusty Harding ("bongo"'s father) I'm pretty sure Glenn is NOT related to Warren G Harding. I've seen Bongo at the Friar's club and several big fundraising events and spectacles here in Southern California. I'm putting up some bios of some other clowns as well, Frankie, Clownzo, DooDoo, Ernest Borgnine, George Voorhees, (the very first Ronald McDonald, with Clownzo(Terry Teene's) assistance they created the costume, the character and make-up, as well as the name, and are now legally enjoined from performing as Ronald McDonald),Jack Simonthe Magic Pieman (last words before dying of a sudden heart attack during a performance: "Ok kids, now watch THIS!), Winky... as well as some information on the clown world that I've learned directfrom the clowns themselves.
I know it's a fairly obscure subject, but clowns are sometimes hard to get serious information from, so it's understandable that there are few hits on these guy's real names.

*I wrote the original article, I do agree that it should be moved to Glenn, but maybe Glenn (Artist) or Glenn (Clown), or move to the Bongo,bongo the Clown page?? as I'm not sure clowns are considered actors? I'm holding off on putting up the other clown bios, until this one is sorted out, since this is my first wiki subject, I thought I'd wait so that I don't need to go back and fix a bunch of newbie mistakes...or cause a cleanup problem. I have some copies of some really really strange looking legal documents I got from bongo/glenn, that I'm trying to get a response from the IRS about...if they are genuine, I will be a bit surprised. I also own a work of his 'art' that seems to be made of a wax and spiderwebs and balloon fragments. I've also seen his drivers license and social security card, at the 1998 Easter Seals 24 hour marathon - where he won a pie-eating contest after demanding that the prize money be doubled if he entered. The prize money went to Easter seals. The North Valley Clown Alley is based in Granada Hills, California Bongo The Clown is not the same person as " Mr. Bongo " the British humorist.

***Oh. In that case, keep. I'd much rather have articles on professional clowns than obscure cartoon and video game trivia. --User:Ardonik 22:17, Aug 1, 2004 (UTC)
* Thanks.. I think I maybe I will move the main page to Bongo, Bongo the Clown, as he seems to be best noted for that, than for being an artist... and most of my info on him relates better to clowning and related subjects.
QUESTION 1: Is it 'proper' wikiing to have an article at Glenn and Bongo, Bongo the Clown putting clown-related info on the one and all other info on the other?
There is a tradition in clowning that a clown never appears halfway, that is, the clown and the performer do not publically associate with each other, would never appear half in and half out of costume, or break character while in costume... I think of it as the 'Santa Factor' and think it might not be 'honoring the traditions of the craft' to post biographical material other than the performers name, and information which would not tend to dispel the 'willing suspension of disbelief' inherent in a clown's performance... and put all the other info under Glenn Any clown wikipedians out there with an opinion on this? Or any suggestionsas to structuring this? I have info for possibly a dozen clown bios, (possibly 4 or 5 articles on clown/circus related subjects as well) and I'd like to do it right the first time rather than fix it later.
QUESTION 2
Before I post the George Voorhees and Terry Teene info, I'd like some input:
George Voorhees was hired by a local McDonald's restaurant, before their clown spokesman, 'Ronald McDonald' existed.
George and Terry Teene (aka Clownzo) created a clown persona, complete with costume, facial design, and 'clown personality' suitable for the event. This was the _original_ Ronald Mcdonald !
Subsequently, McDonald's 'took over' the character without the permission of and without payment to the 2 clowns who created 'him', and went to the measure of having a court order, enjoining them each jointly and severally from appearing in public as, or using the likeness of or name of the character., the character which was created entirely by Terry and George, and would seem to me to be their sole intellectual property.
In short, one of America's most popular and profitable corporations STOLE their 'spokes-character' from the two of them.
My dilemma: what is the best way to avoid trouble with Mcdonald's? + trouble for wikipedia? Is there any 'safe way' to do this? or would this particular tale best be rendered as "George Voorhees who, with the help of Terry Teene (Clownzo) created the character known as Ronald McDonald..." or just leave this particular tale out altogether?
the world of clowns is fascinating to me, maybe because they are so serious about what seems to the outsider to be 'mere buffonery', and this story of the invention of Ronald McDonald is a prime example of what is, in my understanding of clown custom, an egregious breach of the clown code... which clowns hold as dearly as a knight holds to the code of chivalry.User:Pedant 03:53, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
:The way to avoid legal problems is to document and verify. If you can't find reliable sources to back up a questionable statement, don't write it. -- User:Cyrius|User talk:Cyrius 05:47, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
:thanks Cyrius. I'll hold off on the George Voorhees/Ronald McDonald story until I can scan some papers.
:: I've added the George Voorhees /Ronald McDonald material that I have personal knowlege of, or have seen documentation, for going for a very neutral stating of the minimum bare facts. I've eliminated any reference to the character having been 'stolen'. Also omitted details of any court rulings, except that the is enjoined from performing as RM... I'm not confidentof gathering all the legal stuff together,if I miss one piece of that it could be the important one.User:Pedant 04:54, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
:I don't think we should be bound to (nor that we should) respect information presentation traditions of cultural institutions, any more than, say, any mention of Mohammad should have (pbuh) (peace be unto him) appended to it out of respect for Islamic tradition. In other words, I think the no-half-clown convention is one we should ignore. User:Pgunn 20:26, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)
::I somewhat agree, but I am going with this compromise: On any clown page, I will typically try to keep the clown info and the performer's info separate. This whole clown project will take quite sometime, I have a about a peck of papers packed in a box, and it's all loose notes and clippings and photos, from the last 25 years or so.
I had intended to write a book, but I'm not growing younger.User:Pedant 04:54, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
== Glenn / Glenn NoLastName ==
I moved the page to Glenn, as the NoLastName reference seems to be more of an alias.
I chose Glenn over Bongo for the reason that it is less prone to ambiguity, and that are there are 2 other clowns that I am aware of that use some form of the name bongo.
typically, though, if the character is more well known than the performer,I'll put the article under the monicker rather than the performer's name. does this sound correct?User:Pedant 04:54, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
:Eh. I still prefer some qualification (like Glenn Harding Englert, Glenn (clown), or Glenn (actor)), but I understand your concerns about the clown code. As we add articles on other clowns named Bongo, the original Bongo page will become a disambig page, so you'll have to qualify this particular 'Bongo the Clown' in a way that won't conflict with the others. One way to do this is keep the page at Glenn, and have the link from the Bongo page read thus:
There are three professional clowns named Bongo:
*Glenn of Southern California, a founding member of the North Valley Clown Alley ,
*Some other dude of Anytown, USA, and
*Yet another dude , jester of the Mesopotamian highlands.
:At some point, I'm afraid you'll have to mention their real names. This is, in the end, an encyclopedia! --User:Ardonik 07:51, 2004 Aug 6 (UTC)
::Yes,of course, I will always include the name real name, for now I'm adopting the convention of using the better known of the 2 names as the article title only. I don't see a real problem with name conflicts as there is almost always at least a small difference in names, due to 'The Code', and anticipating that it was more likely that I have 3 Bongos than that I have 3 Glenns with no lastname, I chose the glenn route.
== Gnu License vs The Code ==
Finally, there is one last issue I could use some advice on. I know that everything on wikipedia is "put into the public domain" . Also that clowns adhere to 'the code', no clown's face or costume may be copied... the dilemma being '''would publishing a picture of a clown's clown face put that clown face in the public domain''', for anyone to use as a clown face, or would that only apply to the actual image itself?
whew, it's been a long day.User:Pedant 04:54, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
*Not "public domain," but rather, we prefer that any multimedia uploaded to the Wikipedia be released under a license that is compatible with the GFDL. (Public domain is one such license, if you can call it that.) Generally, I've observed that pictures of people not published with express permission are usually classified as fair use when uploaded to the Wikipedia, but I think that is rather because the images themselves are copyrighted rather than because a person's face is somehow restricted. So, if you took the image, you could release it into the public domain (with the
If "the code" mandates that a clown's real face never be associated with the clown, then why not upload a picture of him in makeup under

Would you also like to translate the english to danish? ---- User:Cameron Dewe 10:28 14 Jun 2003 (UTC) ---- Your article on Distributed power would be more accurately titled Distributed generation. It is an article which fits well into the series of articles on electricity, electricity market, electric power transmission, electricity generation, and electricity distribution, which I have been working on. Distributed power is more about the distribution of power whereas "distributed generation" is a topical subject associated with how local generation can contribute to how future electricity needs can be met. I agree with User:Cameron Dewe that there are too many unrelated links. I would be happy to cooperate with you on the article, if you wish. User:Tiles 05:46 15 Jun 2003 (UTC) ---- Hello, Glenn. I removed the links to news articles from Archaeology because the article could very quickly get too long if we carried on including them.

User:Morwen 10:44, Dec 27, 2003 (UTC) Hi - please don't make self-links - that is articles that link to a redirect to the same page. It is a waste of time for someone clicking on them. People keep removing them but you keep readding them! User:Secretlondon 10:46, Dec 27, 2003 (UTC) :Sorry I forgot. But it is convinient to check if all references are present and point to the right article. User:Glenn 11:19, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC) ---- Hello! I have a request, assuming that you speak dannish... (Actually my father grew up in Copenhagen) Can you translate the Pachypodium lamerei of the danish wiki to the english? We have some Pachypodiums but not that one. Cheers! User:Muriel Gottrop 16:09, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC) :Hello Muriel :Your assumption is correct - I am a dane - and from Copenhagen. :I have translated the article about Pachypodium lamerei. I have got Madagascar Palms two times, but this is now a long time ago. regards, User:Glenn 11:42, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC) I have added the correct photo to Night-blooming cereus (Selenicereus grandiflorus).

Glenn
Glenn, whose full legal name consists of the single word "Glenn," is an American performer and artist. As a clown he was known variously as "Bongo", "Bongo the Clown", or "The Great Bongo". Glenn was born Glenn Harding Englert on February 12, 1957 in Arlington, Texas to Edith Englert and Richard Englert. Richard Englert is also known as Rusty Harding, the "boomerang engineer." Glenn legally changed his name, removing both his last name and middle name, shortly after his father "honoured the family name" (as Glenn has described it) by becoming a 'deadbeat dad' some time in the late 1970's. As of 1994-07-18 -- when Mrs. Englert sued Richard Englert's brother Harry, to garnish real estate payments which Harry was paying to Richard -- the Child support [http://www.risad.com/1994_TX_41118.htm debt] was still outstanding, (She lost the suit by failing to specifically plead fraudulent transfer on Harry's behalf -- instead citing authority for the proposition that "in a proper case, fraud need not be specially pleaded".) (see an extensive treatment of the case at: [http://www.risad.com/1994_TX_41118.htm the Riser Adkisson website]) Due to Glenn's contention that he was exempt from the Federal withholding of income tax from his wages, (a belief with which he claimed the U.S. Internal Revenue Service was in complete accord), he found himself unable to work at a normal job, and took to both creating works of art and performing as a clown, under the stage name of ''Bongo the Clown''. Glenn has created artworks in numerous categories: sculpture, from palm trees to earthworks to twisted wire; fiber and fabric assemblies; woven 'blankets' of urban detritus; glass assemblies, and stained glass; splattered paint; computer graphics; spiderwebs and shadow boxes. Glenn manufactured (for another artist, whose art it is) a massive sculptural construction made primarily of thick bulletproof glass which is part the Smithsonian Institution's collection. His largest work, ''"Ku"'' created from the 22-foot (unit of length) stump of a live date palm, is a likeness of the fierce toothy visage of ''Ku'ka'ili'moku'' the Hawai'ian god of War, carved with a chainsaw over the course of a three month period in 1981. "Ku" is rooted in the ground, at the private residence of the client who commissioned the work. Glenn's stained glass craftsmanship can be seen in the stained glass lamps on the tavern set of the American sitcom television show ''Cheers'', which were designed by and co-created with Seymore Saidner. [[Image:George Gray Points Out Glenn's Bald Spot.jpg|framed|left|George Gray points out Glenn's bald spot, in an effort to distract him from juggling.]] Between June, 1980 and the mid-1990s, "Bongo" gained notoriety as both a "producing clown" and as a founding member of the award-winning North Valley Clown Alley. During this period he created a major innovation to the design of the ancient toy/juggling prop, the Devil stick, which he called Devil stick#Modern sticks. By freely circulating the secrets of his design to other Juggling, he placed his invention into the public domain, thereby "protecting it for free". His design was further refined in a collaboration with two other stick jugglers, Todd Farnbach and Todd Ullman. The three inventors claim that this collaboration occurred inside the hollow trunk of a live Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) in Richardson Grove State Park. As Bongo his Clown performances were an "absurd melange of comedy and juggling blended with hard-edged politics observations", and featured comic juggling and prop comedy. Bongo often performed with Clownzo, (Terry Teene), his friend and mentor. Glenn eventually "retired" from the clown business when it became, in his words, "too profitable to be fun any more", though he continues to do occasional free performances for causes he considers to be worthy. ==Appearances== Glenn appeared in the Roger Corman movie Overdrive as the Pit stop in the fight scene at the racetrack and appears briefly in the Strip club scene. As Bongo, he appeared in the Hallowe'en video ''Frankenstein and the All-Star Monster Band''. Sans whiteface, Glenn's Devil stick juggling was featured in an appearance on the second incarnation of The Gong Show, ''Extreme Gong'', a show that uses audience telephone votes to rate performances. Though he wasn't "gonged", and was encouraged to continue his performance into the commercial break, the top prize was won by a stand-up comic who performed as a 'caricature German soldier' (''"... my mother is form Frankfurt und my father iss from Hamburg -- und so, I am a cross between a hamburger und a frankfurter !"''). As of 2004, Glenn lives a quiet life in the San Fernando Valley suburb of Granada Hills, Los Angeles, California in Southern California, tending to a bonsai ''Japan Japanese Black Pine'' tree that is over forty years old. ==Quotes== * ''"Now is when things happen"'' * ''"Now you've hit the point of the nail."'' as Bongo: * ''"I was running late, so I got dressed in the park."'' * (when asked his name): ''"Hi, I'm Bongo - Bongo The Clown, The Great Bongo -- my friends call me 'Bongo'... you can call me Mister The Clown"'' * ''"...it's not rocket science, it's actually difficult!"''

User:Pedant 18:38, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC) ---- Rise up and fly like eagles. {From Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Glenn NoLastName} [[Vanity. Zero Google hits for Glenn NoLastName or for Glenn Harding Englert. User:RickKUser talk:RickK 06:06, Jul 31, 2004 (UTC) * Now has a link from a redirect Bongo, Bongo the Clown, which gets a few Google hits. Info, not a vote --User:1pezguy 06:46, Jul 31, 2004 (UTC) keep it - Try searching google for 'glenn' ... how do you list that alphabetically? There are a few hits on Rusty Harding ("bongo"'s father) I'm pretty sure Glenn is NOT related to Warren G Harding. I've seen Bongo at the Friar's club and several big fundraising events and spectacles here in Southern California. I'm putting up some bios of some other clowns as well, Frankie, Clownzo, DooDoo, Ernest Borgnine, George Voorhees, (the very first Ronald McDonald, with Clownzo(Terry Teene's) assistance they created the costume, the character and make-up, as well as the name, and are now legally enjoined from performing as Ronald McDonald),
If "the code" mandates that a clown's real face never be associated with the clown, then why not upload a picture of him in makeup under
