Cooperstown, North Dakota

Cooperstown is a city in Griggs County, North Dakota, United States. It is the county seat of Griggs County. The population was 983 at the 2020 census. Cooperstown was founded in 1882.

History
The city is named for R. C. Cooper, a bonanza farmer who built the first wood-frame house in the area in 1880. Prior to Cooper's arrival, most settlers or the era lived in sod houses, covered wagons, tents, or log cabins (especially near the Sheyenne River where trees were numerous). Cooperstown was laid out on October 26, 1882, soon before the railroad was extended to that point.

On November 7, 1882, the Griggs County Board of Commissioners voted to locate the county seat on one of Cooper's properties in Cooperstown. Prior to this, the county records were housed in Hope, North Dakota. The residents of Hope were determined that the county seat be located in their town and refused to surrender the records to Cooperstown. The County Commissioners forcibly removed the records by their next meeting on November 18. Sometime the following month, an armed party from Hope overpowered three guards in the new county office and returned the records to their town. In early 1883, the North Dakota Territorial Legislature created Steele County with Hope serving as the new county's seat. Hope returned Griggs County's record to Cooperstown after an election on June 2, 1883. The Griggs County Courthouse was built in 1884.

Talk:Lists of wars

War of 1812 desc
I am inclined to query the one line description of the War of 1812 as a continuation of the War of Independence. As many histories written by both Britons and Americans acknowledge, the war was fought over issues which had been resolved before hostilities broke out. The resulting hot blood may have inclined the Americans to set the conquest of Canada as a war aim and the British to attempt to promote the secession of New England, but the distinction between the conflicts seems more comparable to that between the two World Wars than that between successive French and Indian Wars. --Alan Peakall 16:35 Oct 23, 2002 (UTC)

Marathon date
The date given for the Battle of Marathon here (491 BC) is out of sorts with the dates given on the Battle of Marathon page. To my knowledge, the battle itself took place in 490 BC, while the Persian campaign against Athens began in 492 BC. Does anyone have a source for a different dating? And, if so, how do we want to standardize this? Justin Bacon 04:59, 18 Aug 2003 (UTC)

War on Terrorism
Besides narrow-minded political agendas, is there a legitimate reason not to mention the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq as campaigns/operations/theaters of the War on Terrorism?

 * You're kidding right?
 * The "War on Terrorism" is mostly an (IMO cheap) political slogan and it is too vague to refer to any specific action. It's more like a government policy. Compare it to the War on Poverty and the War on Drugs. Anyway, with the possible exception of Afghanistan, it's doubtful it's supposed to refer to any "real" wars.
 * The official reason of going to war in Iraq were weapons of mass destruction. It's my opinion that having the guts to retroactively frame the raison d'etre in terms of "fighting terror" and especially doing it so soon are on par with the worst forms of historical revisionism. If however the "War on Terrorism" connection is supposed to refer to the current post-war occupation, then see the next point.
 * This is a list of wars, nothing more. If a case is to be made of considering if and when the wars became part of such a campaign the pros and cons should be made in the articles about the wars themselves. This article is definitely not the place to do this.
 * I *will* resist any attempt to put this blatant NPOV violation back in. -- Dissident 22:06, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

How about having a reference somewhere (the See Also section?) to the category War on someting. The term "war" does have alternative sense of "a struggle against something", so it the expressions like War on Terrorism and War on Poverty are valid even if possibly not sound.-- Flambergius 16:11, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Tables, Tables, Tables
The table format seems to me completely unnecessary, and clutters up when editing. Why is it there? Can we get rid of it? Wondering simply, -- Infrogmation 17:40, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)

 * Yes! I've wanted to remove the table for a long time myself... :) -- Jniemenmaa 10:39, 30 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I was wondering if the number of casualties caused by each war could be included? -- Timwhit

Afghan Civil War
Does anyone have definitive years for the "Afghan Civil War"? It was previously listed as between 1979-1989, which are the years for the Soviet-Afghan War, so I replaced it. It seems that civil war has been on and off over the past two or three decades, so listing it here in one place might be problematic. --Minesweeper 08:08, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Haiti Civil War?
Has there really been one in 2004? It's unrest, certainly, and a fine line. Mark Richards 20:16, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

How to define War?
This seems to be problematic. Especially many ethnic and/or political conflicts are often difficult to categorize as wars or even civil wars. For example Israel-Palestinian conflict was removed because its definition as real war from NPOV is often disputed. (Especially if it is referred as Palestinian Intifada.) Personally I would classify it as war, althought this propably doesn't fit to "official" definition. This also leads to dispute about other ethnical and political conflicts that do not always fall to category of war in its very essential meaning.

Situation in Chechenya seems to be somehow similiar as in Palestine. Russia officially declares it as a camapign against terrorism, but Chechen rebels see it as a struggle for Independent Chechenya. Also many armed conflicts classified here as civil wars are not continous armed struggle, but series of ethnic or political conflicts between different opponents. This includes political unrest in Haiti, as mentioned above, but also "Civil wars" in Sri Lanka, Colombia, Algeria and Zapatista revolution in Mexico.

I would suggest a separate paragraph (or page) for those armed conflicts that can not clearly be defined as wars. --Kulkuri 13:08, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)

The Empire?
I noticed this line in the sixteenth century:

1590 - 1606 "Long War" between the Empire and the Turks

Perhaps somebody could specify which nation is meant by "the Empire."

Most propably this is just a typo. Must mean Habsburgs empire in Austria. Treaty of Zsitva-Torok ended conflict in Hungary between Austria and Ottoman Turks,--Kulkuri 09:32, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Yet Another Poll
'''This poll is closed. I will take out the taxoboxes, as per consensus, 2 for, 5 against.''' -- Merovingian  ✍  Talk  02:15, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)

Merovingian has started the War Series Box (see Macedonian Wars for an example). Do we need this Series?

Yes
 * 1) It can grow as the list does.  -- Merovingian  ✍  Talk  02:46, Jul 20, 2004 (UTC)
 * 2) Stan 12:32, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC), assuming redesign to be per-country

No
 * 1) Wars generally do not follow each other in succession like (for example) monarchs or other political offices, which is what these boxes are usually used for. The boxes are unhelpful and possibly misleading. Adam Bishop 03:31, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 2) - SimonP 03:38, Jul 20, 2004 (UTC)
 * 3) Jao 08:32, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC) (see comment below)
 * 4) I don't see how you can have a coherent chronology of wars.  A taxobox-like format might be useful though, with stuff like "major participants" and "subconflicts"... just trying to throw out alternative ideas. Yath 04:02, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 5) What Yath said. Neutrality 04:41, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Discussion
 * The best example of why this is a bad idea is that you have the Persian Wars following directly after the Trojan War. I can't think of any way that could possibly be correct, except that they happen to follow each other on the List of wars page. As an aside, a few of the boxes had the wrong dates...I fixed it, but just be careful with that, I guess. Adam Bishop
 * There is no clear way to define what the previous war was. For instance what would be the conflict before the Gulf War? It could it be Vietnam or Grenada? But for Iraq it would be the Iran-Iraq War, while it would be the Falklands for the UK and the Korean War for Canada. Or should it be the completely unrelated separation of Slovenia from Yugoslavia as it was previous chronologically? - SimonP
 * Perhaps one could have separate "Wars of " series? It would still not be easy, but it could be interesting to be able to browse these. The present "Wars in history" is in any case impossible. Get rid of it. -- Jao 09:01, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * A global sequential list is simply not workable in a world where dozens of different wars are going on simultaneously, but a per-country boxes are both meaningful and useful, so I'd vote for that. Stan 12:32, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Truces
I noticed that some of the wars listed (the civil war in Cote d'Ivoire and the Congo) are presently held at a truce. I wonder if we should note that in the list of current wars? I think it would be premature to say that they are over, but, we should at least give them the credit of having stopped broad military violence. Adam Faanes 02:09, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Israeli-Palestinian conflict
I do not see why this has been removed. It's entirely in line with the other list members (there are other "conflicts" listed that aren't inter-state). The individual entry doesn't call it a war, but its inclusion here allows that POV also. Really, anyone looking at the list would expect to see the two "intifadas" mentioned.

zoney █ █ █  talk 14:51, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * I see your point. Anyway definition is bit blurry here, and as the whole Arab-Israel conflict is heavily disputed it is better not to keep it on the list. I even added both Intifadas myself to list earlier, but they were removed by other users because of NPOV. You are anyway right that they should be mentioned, so I added links to Arab-Israel conflict below the list of actual wars.--Kulkuri 20:30, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Wars of the Three Kingdoms
I have changed the Category 1639 -1652 English Civil War to Wars of the Three Kingdoms as this definition (which is now quite popular amongst historians) better describes the series of conflicts that occured accross the whole of the British Isles, with the categories of First and Second Civil Wars still retained under this heading.

Fictional wars
The idea that events where elves, hobbits and robots are killed equates in any way to real people losing real lives is quite sickening. I have moved all the fictional wars to the already extant List of fictional wars. MeltBanana 14:27, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Ancient era
I think Ancient era would be better then Era of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, especially given that even now this section has wars in China, for example. Therefore I am changing the title. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 10:51, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Also, since The end of ancient history is A.D. 476 (the fall of the Western Roman Empire) I am moving 533 - 534 Vandal Wars to Middle Ages section. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 10:54, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

On a related note, would it be possible to extend the list earlier in history, to include the wars of ancient Egypt, Israel, Mesopotamia, and China? I know there are some objectivity issues here, which is why two biblical battles are on the List of fictional battles, but I feel this could be helped by judicious attribution. If this is felt to be an appropriate addition, I'd be happy to have a go at it myself. AlexTiefling 15:52, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

European concentric
This list is European concentric (as is the List of military commanders). For example periods after such things as "Middle Ages" or the "Age of Rifles" makes the assumption that these events occurred world wide which is not true. As this list expands there are going to be more and more exceptions to this. For example wars in the Far East particularly including Japan. Wars in the Middle Americas before the arrival of Europeans. Early Zulu Wars when the Zulu were ruled by Shaka, in which up to 2 million people died in the Mfecane and not a gun to be seen!

There are other problems with names like "Age of Rilfes" as they stand at the moment becuause the transition from one to another was gradual and not universal. people were killed by shot in the 100 years war, Americans used rifles in the "American war of independece." The list would be better done with major heading by cronology not names of ages. Philip Baird Shearer

 * Personally, I don't see a problem with the names of those periods. It gives an idea of where technology was for a majority of the wars.  Besides, I don't see a deluge of non-European wars in either the Middle Ages or Age of Rifles.  If those ages are removed, then I would suggest removing as a categories 1) the World War since the Chaco War, Irish Civil War, Anglo-Irish War and Russo-Japanese War had nothing to do with the two World Wars; 2) the Cold war since Mau Mau Uprising, Falklands War and Football War had nothing to do the Cold War (I could have added even more wars in either category that have little to nothing to do with either era but I think I made my point).  Of course, it's asinine to suggest such a thing.
 * As for the list being too "European concentric", stop whining and/or being lazy and add the Asian, African, etc wars to the list. Heck, that's what I've been doing.Lokifer 04:26, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I wouldn't miss the period names, year ranges alone are good enough for grouping and quick-clicking from TOC. If I don't know what "Age of Rifles" means, I won't know if I want to click to it, but if I do know what it means, then I also know its approximate year range and will just click to that. So the period names are colorful but unnecessary. Stan 05:06, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Year ranges sound fine to me. Lokifer 08:00, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Classification : Europa, North America, South America, Africa, Asia
I added this classification to the "Area of Rifles", because otherwise it's really no clear... I don't know all the wars which are in this list, so I didn't it, but I think that should be really better with a classification like that. (Anonymous note)
 * List of war, Age of Rifles
 * Editing Age of Rifles

What language is 'Europa'? Why have you applied this classification to this era particularly? I prefer to see this list as being strictly chronological, rather than regional, especially as the era you've chosen saw the beginning of serious conflict across several continents simultaneously. I'd definitely prefer to see this revert to its original format. AlexTiefling 12:54, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

List of Old Wars
I don't have a problem with the list being split. As stated, it's for the sake of the size of the article. I do have one question though. Since the cut-off is at 1000 AD, should we include wars which begin prior to 1000 AD, but end after 1000 AD to this list? For example, the list of old wars has the Spanish Reconquista with the dates starting 718 and ending 1492. Shouldn't this be included on both lists, since it concluded after 1000 AD? Maybe in a note? Just asking. Lokifer 22:44, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * What I would like to suggest is splitting this article like List of Battles, with every sublist for certain centuries as separate article, rather than taking away one or two parts of current list. If there is no objections I will do this soon. --Kulkuri 16:19, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Why divide articles?
Why is it necessary to have List of wars 1900–1944, List of wars 1945–1989, and List of wars 1990–2002 in separate pages? They're not that long, and it would be much more convenient to have them all on one page. I propose they be merged into one page where we can have all the wars of the 20th century. Coffee 19:43, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

World wars
The List of world wars link leads directly to world war, it is not a list.

Religious wars
There should probably be a list of religious wars in the conflicts section

Charts of number of wars over time
The Uppsals University Department of Peace and Conflict Research has some charts and graphs showing the number of wars fluctuating with time. Would this be a good addition to sublists, assuming the licensing could be worked out? Or should we do our own chart(s) based on our own listings? -- Beland (talk) 07:03, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Articles need reorganization
I posted this to TomStar81's talk page (the lead coordinator of the Military WikiProject):

"The list of wars articles, particularly List of wars 1945-1989, List of wars 1990-2002, and List of wars 2003–current are currently in disarray. There seems to be no central place to discuss how they should appear (hence my comment here). As I posted on the discussion page for 1990-2002, I think the following needs to occur:

 * The 1945-1989 list needs to change to 1945-1999.
 * The 2003-current list needs to change to 2000-current.
 * The 1990-2002 list needs to split; the 1990-1999 conflicts moved to the 1945-1999 list and the 2000-2002 conflicts moved to the 2000-current list.
 * The 2003-current list needs its table to conform to the other list articles.
 * All ongoing conflicts should be removed from the 2003-current list (a seperate article exists for these).

How can we centralize discussion and get this accomplished? --CPAScott (talk) 16:53, 14 December 2009 (UTC)"

Time table reorganisation
I sugest we should edit a few of the periods.

* List of wars before 1000 * List of wars 1000–1499 * List of wars 1500–1799 * List of wars 1800–1899 * List of wars 1900–1944 * List of wars 1945–1989 * List of wars 1990–2002 * List of wars 2003–current * List of wars 2010–current * List of ongoing conflicts

that is the current list

* List of wars before 1000 * List of wars 1000–1499 * List of wars 1500–1815* * List of wars 1816–1913* * List of wars 1914-1989* * List of wars 1990–2002 * List of wars 2003–current * List of wars 2010–current * List of ongoing conflicts the 1500 period expanded till 1815 because with the end of Napoleon his reign and warfare there started a new period. That period sort of lasted till 1914 and with the murder of Franz Ferdinand started a new period, so called Long War (20th century) or as some historians describe it, the short 20th century. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.132.76.172 (talk) 18:50, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Business
Regent gained a moment of national notoriety when The Wall Street Journal published an article about a dispute among its telephone service providers. Consolidated Telephone Cooperative was the sole provider, but Western Wireless Corp. moved into town, providing service by cellular connection and thus saving the costs of installing wires. Angered by the loss of its customers, Consolidated refused to connect calls to and from Western's central switch, effectively disconnecting all of Western's customers in town. Western complained to regulatory authorities, and Consolidated agreed to connect the disconnected customers. The Journal noted that issues of possible monopoly, alleged illegal anticompetitive practices, and the preservation of established rural carriers (and their subsidies) in the face of competition from new rivals were potentially at stake.

Arts and culture
Regent is home to the "Enchanted Highway", a series of metal sculptures by artist Gary Greff. Greff and the town of Regent were featured on the "NBC Nightly News" on August 26, 2007. The Hettinger County Historical Society Museum is located in Regent.

Tuttle, North Dakota

Tuttle is a city in Kidder County, North Dakota, United States. The population was 60 at the 2020 census. Tuttle was founded in 1911. At the turn of the 19th century and early 20th century, the land surrounding Tuttle was predominantly, although not exclusively, homesteaded by families of German-Russian ethnicity. Many of their descendants still farm and ranch the land around Tuttle.

Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.25 sqmi, all land. Because of its location in the Prairie Pothole Region and the Central Flyway, residents enjoy access to outdoor hunting activities. Tuttle has also become a destination for waterfowl hunters.

History
According to the Tuttle 50th anniversary book published in 1961, Tuttle was named for Col. William P. Tuttle, an official in the Dakota Land & Townsite Company which platted the town in 1910. Col. Tuttle reportedly never lived in Tuttle, but was fond of the town and once purchased baseball uniforms for the local team. The Northern Pacific Railway laid a track through Tuttle on October 4, 1911. Service between Tuttle and Pingree to the east started later that month. On January 21, 1917, fire completely destroyed the Miller General Store and several other Tuttle businesses. Citizens responded and were able to save other businesses from the flames. Following this fire, citizens met to organize a volunteer fire department which exists to this day. J.W. Wittmayer was elected the first fire chief of Tuttle.

Many family histories recorded in the anniversary book tell of extreme hardships with the weather which can produce severe cold and blizzards in the winter and blazing heat and strong storms in the summer. On July 3, 1935, at about 9 am, the town experienced a notable weather event. A strong wind came up first and hail started falling and, combined with drenching rain, it caused significant damage to Tuttle and surrounding areas. Reportedly, nearly every window facing north and west was broken in homes and business places. Despite the damage, a July 4 Independence Day celebration occurred as planned. On July 1, 1952, about 7:00 pm, a tornado struck Tuttle in the evening. The clouds in the sky reportedly looked very threatening. As the tornado drew closer to the town, residents reported hearing a sound like "hundreds of freight trains bearing down." The funnel could not be seen in Tuttle as there was so much dust in the air, but people south of the town reported seeing it very clearly. The tornado heavily damaged several homes in Tuttle, but the majority were not touched.

2007 was a particularly difficult year for Tuttle. In this year, the Tuttle School closed. The Danielson Hotel, an abandoned hotel landmark on Tuttle's main street, was demolished. On November 19, 2007, the Tuttle post office building, a historic field stone structure created in 1938 as a WPA project, was significantly damaged after a furnace ignited and fire gutted the building. The resulting smoke plume was visible for many miles. The fire did not destroy the field stone and concrete walls, and the building was restored by 2011.

Like many other small towns on the North American Great Plains that were settled in the early 20th century, nearly a century after its founding Tuttle has experienced the closure of many business which has paralleled a population trend of outmigration of young people to larger cities and a subsequent aging of its population. Today, Tuttle is without a bank, a school and newspaper, but is home to a well stocked co-op grocery store and grain elevator. Although the railroad track that caused Tuttle to be platted was removed around 2004, improved roads and access to Interstate 94 has reduced the isolation of Tuttle. The cities of Bismarck and Jamestown are approximately a one-hour drive from Tuttle, and are therefore accessible to Tuttle residents.

 * William Cavendish engaged the philosopher Thomas Hobbes as tutor to one of his sons.

I have removed that sentence from the article, because it is wrong. The William Cavendish who hired Hobbes was one of the earls descended from this Sir William, because that was in 1608, when Sir William had been dead for 50 years and so had no son young enough to have a tutor. -- isis 16:40 Oct 23, 2002 (UTC)
