Frequent-flyer program

A frequent-flyer programme (FFP) is a loyalty program offered by an airline.

Many airlines have frequent-flyer programmes designed to encourage airline customers enrolled in the programme to accumulate points (also called miles, kilometers, or segments) which may then be redeemed for air travel or other rewards. Points earned under FFPs may be based on the class of fare, distance flown on that airline or its partners, or the amount paid. There are other ways to earn points. For example, in recent years, more points have been earned by using co-branded credit and debit cards than by air travel. Another way to earn points is spending money at associated retail outlets, car hire companies, hotels, or other associated businesses. Points can be redeemed for air travel, other goods or services, or for increased benefits, such as travel class upgrades, airport lounge access, fast-track access, or priority bookings.

Frequent-flyer programs can be seen as a certain type of virtual currency, one with unidirectional flow of money to purchase points, but no exchange back into money.

FFPs have become an important part of airlines' economic models, with for example United and Delta both able to earn more than $1 billion in 2015 because of their FFP.

History
Although United Airlines had tracked customers as far back as the 1950s, the first modern frequent-flyer programme was created in 1972 by Western Direct Marketing for United. It gave plaques and promotional materials to members. In 1979, Texas International Airlines created the first frequent-flyer programme that used mileage tracking to give 'rewards' to its passengers, while in 1980 Western Airlines created its Travel Bank, which ultimately became part of Delta Air Lines' programme upon their merger in 1987. American Airlines' AAdvantage programme launched in 1981 as a modification of a never-realized concept from 1979 that would have given special fares to frequent customers. It was quickly followed later that year by programs from United Airlines (Mileage Plus), Delta (Delta Air Lines Frequent Flyer Program, which later changed to SkyMiles), Continental Airlines (OnePass), Air Canada (Aeroplan), and in 1982 from British Airways (Executive Club).

Frequent-flyer programs have grown since. In 2005, 163 million people were enrolled in frequent flyer programs from over 130 airlines. By then, 14 trillion frequent-flyer points had been accumulated by people worldwide, for a value of 700 billion US dollars. When United Airlines filed for bankruptcy in 2002, its frequent flyer programme was its only money-making business. Tom Stuker is the world's most frequent flier having logged over 21 million miles with United.

Flying
Most larger airlines around the world have frequent flyer programs; each has a programme name, and policies and restrictions regarding joining, accumulating, and redeeming points.

The primary method of obtaining points in a frequent-flyer programme until recent years was to fly with the associated airline. Paying expenses using an airline-sponsored credit card, even those charged to an employer, can rack up frequent flyer points. Most systems reward travelers with a specific number of points based on the distance traveled (such as 1 point per mile flown), although systems vary. Many discount airlines, rather than awarding points per mile, award points for flight segments in lieu of distance or the amount paid. For example, a number of airlines in Europe offer a fixed number of points for domestic or intra-European flights regardless of the distance (but varied according to class of travel). With the introduction of airline alliances and code-share flights, frequent-flyer programs are often extended to allow benefits to be used across partner airlines.

Bonus points
Most, if not all, programs award bonus earnings to premium-cabin passengers and to their elite-status members based on tier status; earning an extra 25%-100% of miles flown are common bonuses. While these bonus points may not count toward ascension to (or retention of) elite status, they count toward the member's total balance for normal redemption purposes.

Minimum credit guarantee
Some programs award a full 500 points (or a similar minimum credit guarantee) for non-stop flights spanning less than 500 miles. An airline's programme can either award this guarantee to all members regardless of elite status, or they can reserve this privilege only for their elite members.

Credit card purchases
Many credit card companies partner with airlines to offer a co-branded credit card or the ability to transfer points in their loyalty programme to an airline's program. Large sign-up bonuses and other incentives are common. Accruing points via credit cards bonuses and spending allows infrequent travelers to benefit from the frequent flyer program.

With a non-affiliated travel rewards credit card a cardmember can buy a positive-space ticket considered "revenue" class, which can earn the passenger points with the airline flown.

Other purchases
Frequent-flyer programs may offer points through other means, such as purchasing food or merchandise sold by an affiliated company. American engineer David Phillips gained attention in 2000 for purchasing $3,140 of Healthy Choice pudding to earn him 1,253,000 AAdvantage miles.

Elite status
Occasionally, airlines may offer double elite-qualifying mile (EQM) promotions, which speeds up a member's status ascension (or retention) by reducing flight mileage requirements.

Some carriers also require frequent flyers to spend a set amount of money on tickets before they are eligible for elite status. This is in addition to the miles-flown requirements that are already in place. Delta switched to revenue-based elite status requirements in January 2014, United in March 2015, with American Airlines the last of the three US legacy carriers to switch on August 1, 2016. This has led to some frequent flyers devaluing those programs over others, as the changing model can be less rewarding to frequent flyers. To date no UK frequent flyer scheme has sought to operate in such a fashion, with both Virgin Atlantic and British Airways opting for the traditional method of granting tier points based on the miles flown and class of travel.

Redemption
After accumulating a certain number of points, members then use these points to obtain airline tickets. However, points only pay for the base fare, with the member still responsible for the payment of mandatory taxes and fees.

Flights
Although a controversial topic and a source of frustration among frequent flyers, award flights are still the primary commodity purchased by members using points. While alliances and partnerships have facilitated the redemption process for some programs, award seat availability is still subject to blackout dates and seasonal fluctuations, as airlines utilize statistics, yield management, and capacity-control formulas to determine the number of seats to allocate for award booking.

This lack of availability has since been alleviated by non-airline rewards programs, such as certain credit cards (see above) and other corporate programs (Expedia Rewards, Marriott ) by allowing a member to use points to search for and purchase revenue tickets as if using cash.

Products and services
Depending on an airline's program, members can also redeem points toward cabin upgrades, hotel stays, car rentals, and purchase of various retail items. On American Airlines' AAdvantage programme for example, it is possible to pay for a complete vacation package solely with points.

Value of points
Travelers frequently debate on how much accumulated points are worth, something which is highly variable based on how they are redeemed. An estimate is approximately one to two cents per point based on discount (rather than full fare) economy class travel costs.

The author of an economics PhD thesis published in 2014 at Monash University, in Melbourne, Australia, examined the cash-equivalent value (purchasing power) of loyalty points, the impact of FFPs on consumer behavior and surplus, and the taxation issues surrounding FFPs. Unlike most previous research on FFPs, this research used data from an actual FFP. The cash-equivalent value of a loyalty point in 2010 was estimated to range between AU$0.0066 and AU$0.0084. This range however excluded the value of status benefits to the status member. The loyalty point gained by a FFP member per flight equated to an in-kind discount on an average airfare of 3.3% for lowest status members, 3.96% for medium status members and 4.63% for premium status members. A detailed survey undertaken in 2010 among a representative sample of over 3300 members of that specific FFP showed that a large proportion of leisure and business travelers admitted a willingness to pay a higher fare—a FFP premium—to fly with the sponsoring airline because of their FFP membership. The average FFP premium was estimated to be around 8% and was statistically different between leisure and business travelers. The cash-equivalent value of a loyalty point as encapsulated in the FFP premium was estimated to range between AU$0.0108 and AU$0.0153, depending on the FFP status of a member.

The airlines themselves value points in their financial statements at less than one one-thousandth of a cent per points. That loyalty points undoubtedly have an estimable monetary value is also reflected in the fact that some programs allow for the donation of frequent-flyer points to certain charities.

Accounting and regulatory issues
The frequent flyer points accumulated through business trips are a desirable employee benefit, which can encourage unnecessary travel within organisations to accumulate them and lead to superfluous personal trips.

Business travelers typically accrue the valuable points in their own names, rather than the names of the companies that paid for the travel. This has raised concerns that the company is providing a tax-free benefit (point-based awards) to employees, or that employees have misappropriated value that belongs to the company, or even that the rewards acts as a kind of bribe to encourage travelers to choose one particular airline or travel unnecessarily. Most companies consider the miles earned by their employees to be a valuable personal perk that in part compensates for the daily grind of frequent business travel, though some governmental organizations have attempted to prevent their employees from accumulating miles on official travel.

Although it has long been recognized that FFP rewards earned on employer-funded business flights should be subject to either income or fringe-benefit taxation, this is currently not taking place in the vast majority of countries - a notable exception however being Germany. One of the main arguments against the implementation of taxation is the lack of a monetary tax base. It can however be argued that since the cash-equivalent value of loyalty currency can be reasonably estimated with public data, this value is appropriate as a tax base. Hurdles preventing the taxation of FFP rewards are generally less related to the technical issue of valuation, but have more to do with legal constraints (e.g. "who owns the points") and often a lack of political will (e.g. "who would lose out due to taxation"). Australian and German public servants are not permitted to redeem points accrued from official travel for private purposes. The Australian example occurred in the 1990s when Qantas and the now-defunct Ansett Australia competed for the Australian federal government travel contract; this was put forward as a system requirement for the competing companies in order to win the contract.

In the US, the General Services Administration has regulated, "frequent traveler benefits earned [by federal employees] in connection with official travel, [which] may be used only for official travel, see 41 C.F.R. § 301-1.6(f)." Frequent flyer programme contracts are not generally regulated.

Competition
These programmes have been studied as anti-competitive practices: in 1989, M. Tretheway found competition prevented an airline to unilaterally end its program, but the regulatory body could end all; in 1999, S. Storm observed loyalty programs were forbidden in Denmark until 1992, instated then because Danish airlines were disadvantaged, as governments can forbid these programs at industry players request and the World Trade Organization could ban all programs.

In the U.S. in 1989, Braniff wished for an end to unfair competition from frequent-flyer programs. Precedent exists for ending frequent-flyer programs. In 2002, Norway banned domestic loyalty programs to promote airline competition. In 2005, the Modernization Minister asked the competition authority to consider extending the Norwegian ban on frequent flyer miles to include all of Scandinavia. The country lifted the ban in 2013 when the competitive situation changed.

Flight shame
Frequent-flyer programs have been receiving scrutiny because of the prevalence and rapid growth of air travel, in terms of both the frequency that individuals fly and the tendency toward longer distance travel. In 2011, S. Cohen observed both air travel and concern over its climate impacts were growing, balanced by technology and physical resources, self and external regulation and social norms including stigmatisation of excessive air travel. In 2009, Stefan Gössling pointed out the conflict caused by air travel growth in a carbon-constrained world, with a minority of hypermobile individuals responsible for a large share of air travel.

Mileage runs
A "mileage run" is an airline trip designed and taken solely to gain maximum frequent-flyer miles, points, or elite status usually at lowest cost. If a traveler has already achieved some sort of elite status, then that traveler will earn bonus award miles or points on top of their actual flight miles or points. Depending on the program, that traveler will reach their goal sooner if the miles they accrue are elite qualifying miles. A mileage run may allow a traveler to (re-)qualify for a beneficial elite level, which requires a minimum number of miles to qualify. Some airlines have changed their frequent flyer rules to award miles based on ticket expense rather than absolute distance traveled, which may remove the incentive for mileage runs.

Status challenge
A status challenge can be an often non-publicized offer to accrue a certain amount of flying within a certain very short timeframe (usually 90 days), to earn elite status. The higher status may or may not be given immediately if it can be seen that qualifying travel (particularly travel that is non-refundable) has already been booked before the challenge was offered, otherwise higher status will be conferred once the challenge is officially completed. In some instances, a fee for a challenge may also be charged. Status challenges are employed by other types of establishments, as well, such as casinos  and hotels.

Status match
Some airlines will match status  with that of a competitor upon application, usually to airlines outside of any alliance that the airline used to match status with belongs to. This enables travelers to switch their travel more easily from one carrier to another (e.g., when the traveller's employer switches carriers due to a new travel contract's being signed). It does so by maintaining equivalent elite benefits with the new airline, without the need for time to pass while the traveller earns the benefits; this also has the side effect of retaining elite benefits with the previous airline, in order that one does not have to be given up for the other to allow for a more gradual transition. Status matches are employed by other types of establishments, as well, such as casinos, cruise lines,  hotels, and rental car companies.

I have edited the article to comply with WP:MT's Article Structure guidelines. Yes, it still need a fair amount of work. For the time being, I haven't found a way to incorporate certain elements (I will, though - don't worry!). Mainly for my own peace of mind, I've copied them here... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dafyd (talk • contribs) 21:23, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Historical credentials

 * See also: Che Guevara in popular culture

'Che as well as Evita symbolize certain naïve, but effective, beliefs: the hope for a better world; a life sacrificed on the altar of the disinherited, the humiliated, the poor of the earth. They are myths which somehow reproduce the image of Christ.'

The everyman-styled narrator of the musical is identified simply as 'Che' and is based partially upon the historical figure of Che Guevara, a native Argentinian who opposed the Perón regime.

In the original productions of the musical, Che and Evita have a confrontation in the song "Waltz for Eva and Che". There is no evidence to suggest that Che Guevara and Eva Perón actually ever met. The only alleged contact that Guevara ever had with Perón was a letter he claimed to have sent to her charity, requesting a jeep; Guevara claimed that it was never received, and is also said to have joined a Peronist youth organisation in college, though only to gain access to their library.

After leaving Peronist Argentina in the mid-1950s, Guevara moved to Cuba. As Castro's collaborator, he came to occupy a position in Cuba's government arguably analogous to Evita's role in Peronist Argentina: that of spiritual leader. In the song "Waltz for Eva and Che", the character of Evita makes a reference to Guevara's future role in Castro's Cuba: 'So go, if you're able/To somewhere unstable/And stay there/Whip up your hate/In some tottering state/But not here, dear/Is that clear, dear?'

The lyrics and storyline of the musical are based on Mary Main's biography Evita: The Woman with the Whip, which drew heavily upon the accounts of anti-Peronist Argentines. Shortly after the musical appeared, Nicholas Fraser and Marysa Navarro published a more neutral account of Eva Perón's life, titled Evita: The Real Lives of Eva Perón, in which they claim that many of Main's assertions (which had influenced Rice's lyrics) were false, such as the suggestion that Eva had first gone to Buenos Aires as the mistress of a married musician, Agustín Magaldi. Instead, they wrote, Eva's mother Doña Juana had taken her there whenever she aspired to become a radio actress. Many people suggested that Rice's lyrics disparaged Evita's achievements unnecessarily, particularly her charity work.

Popular Culture
The episode of The Simpsons ("The President Wore Pearls") has a plot loosely based on the musical, including parodies of songs such as, "Don't cry for me, kids of Springfield," a parody of "Don't Cry for me Argentina." Also at the end they display a disclaimer saying "On the advice of our lawyers, we swear we have never heard of a musical based on the life of Eva Perón".

Title Roles
I don't think this section is necessary. All of the information in it is repetitive, and it is full of non-notable names. Unless someone has a reason to keep it, let's delete it and just mention the actresses in connection with the major productions described above. There are lots of musicals with a dominant female character: Hello, Dolly!, Mame, My Fair Lady, Eileen, Annie, Thoroughly Modern Millie, No, No, Nanette, Peter Pan (LOL), Maid of the Mountains, etc, and none of them need a section like this. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:38, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Che
In the part of the article on Controversy, the character Che is equated to Che Guervera, the cuban revolutionary. This is simply incorrect. "Che" in the current form of the show, refers to the spirit of dissent in Argentina during the time of the Peronist Regime. Lloyd Webber and Rice never claim that Guevera was present. 02:35, 3 October 2008 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thenextstephensondheim1 (talk • contribs)

 * I am not following you. There is no "Controversy" section in the article Evita (musical).  In the "History" section, the article states that "there is no evidence to suggest that Ché Guevara and Eva Perón actually ever met."  Ché in the musical is a fictionalized representative of, as you say, dissenters to the Peronist regime.  The article makes clear that the musical departs from historical fact in a number of important ways.  I think it is clear from the article that Ché is not intended to be the historical Ché Guevara, but an idealized version of a Latin-American revolutionary.  Or did I misunderstand your comment?  Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 13:57, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * In the libretto it says clearly that the "Che" in the musical is "Che Guevara." It also says that the Perons were in power during Che's childhood and therefore it is likely that his experience with the Perons influenced his later political activity. It is clear that in the original stage musical it is indeed Che Guevara. Alan Parker writes in the book about the making of the movie version that in the movie version it is NOT the historical Che Guevara but simply a "joe everyman" bystander. In Argentina "Che" is a word synonymous with "dude," and sometimes a type of exclaimation. Andrew Parodi (talk) 07:02, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Source material
This article claims the Mary Main biography The Woman with the Whip was the source material for the musical but does not provide a reference for this allegation. In Sondheim & Lloyd-Webber: The New Musical, author Stephen Citron discusses the development of Evita at length and makes no mention of the Main bio, nor have I seen it cited in other articles about the musical. Does anyone have a reputable source for this claim that can be referenced? If not, shouldn't it be removed? LiteraryMaven (talk) 18:08, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

 * User:Andrew Parodi has added an alleged reference for the claim Main's bio was a source for the musical, but I don't believe it's accurate or valid. First of all, it reads, "It is the basis of the Evita in the musical Evita," which suggests to me the book is the source of the characterization of the woman rather than the musical itself. I have the posters, programs, and cast recordings from the original London and Broadway productions and the original Australian cast album. None of them list this book as a source for the musical. I would think if it had been then this information would have been included somewhere in the credits. Also, two books about Lloyd Webber I've read make no mention of this book. Both of them say Rice was inspired by a radio play about Eva he heard late one night. Nicholas Fraser and Marysa Navarro may think the book was a source, but that doesn't mean they're correct. LiteraryMaven (talk) 16:30, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

It does appear that the book served at least as one of the bases for the character Evita. Tim Rice called it the most important biography. See this, this, this, this, and this. The last two are especially persuasive. It appears that the article exaggerates its influence on elements of the musical beyond the characterization of the title role. I would suggest that you try to give it its proper emphasis. I doubt it should even appear in the WP:LEAD. It seems like you have lots of sources, so if you are willing to devote the time, please do go ahead and expand the article into a more complete, better balanced article. For a good example of a really complete musical theatre article, see Hair (musical). I haven't seen it in a while, but last time I looked, Wicked (musical) was a good article also. I would be happy to review whatever you write for proofreading/copy editing when you're done. Just let me know. Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:43, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Tim Rice himself writes in Evita: Legend of Eva Peron that he considers The Woman with the Whip to be the only accurate book about Eva Peron. At any rate, the requirement was simply that I add a citation, which I have done. You may go to the Amazon.com listing and check for yourself to see that Fraser and Navarro indeed state that the musical is based on the Main book.  As an editor, this is all that is required of me: to give a citation from a notable and scholarly book. The Fraser/Navarro book is perhaps the most respected biography of Evita available. Thank you. -- Andrew Parodi (talk) 09:47, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Addendum: As the musical Evita is a biographical work of Eva Peron, I have difficulty seeing any difference between "the characterization of the woman" and "the musical itself." The musical itself is a characterization of the woman. Thank you. -- Andrew Parodi (talk) 10:00, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Tim Rice says he considers The Woman with the Whip to be the only accurate book about Eva Peron, but did he say he used it as the basis of the musical, which would be the likely thing to do if he had? I'm not disputing Fraser and Navarro stated the musical is based on the Main book, I'm just skeptical about their accuracy. Just because their book is perhaps the most respected biography of Evita available doesn't mean they're correct about The Woman with the Whip being the source for the musical. The books I've read about Lloyd Webber and Rice don't mention it, the programs, posters, and recordings don't list it (wouldn't there be a legal obligation to do so?), and in The Making of Evita by the film's director Alan Parker, when he discusses the origin of the stage production, no mention of the Main book is made.
 * As I said, the odd phrasing of the statement "It is the basis of the Evita in the musical Evita" suggests to me they meant the book is the source of the way the woman is portrayed (maybe a better word than characterized) rather than the musical itself, otherwise why not just say "It is the basis of Evita"? I think the portrayal of the character (i.e., loving, selfish, brutal, emotionally unstrung, amusing, and the like) of any real-life subjects of a film, play, or book can be based on reality while events in which they are placed are fictionalized, so there can be a difference between the person and the film, play, or book about them. I apologize if I'm not explaining myself clearly. Thank you for your input. LiteraryMaven (talk) 17:55, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Incidentally, I never inserted into this article that the musical is based on The Woman with the Whip. Someone else inserted that. I inserted the citation when I saw it was requested.

 * Now, on to the other issue. Yes, I suppose it is possible to differentiate between the characterization of the woman and the overall structure of the musical production itself. According to the statement by Fraser/Navarro, the character of "Evita" in the musical is based on the portrayal of the historical Eva Peron in the Main book. That's all they write.

 * So, no, they never said "the musical is based on The Woman with the Whip." They said the "Evita" in the musical is based on the "Evita" in The Woman with the Whip.

 * So, I'm sort of at a loss. Maybe reword the entro if you prefer. Maybe: "The characterization of Eva Peron in the musical "Evita" is based on the characterization of Eva Peron as found in "The Woman with the Whip". This isn't a major point for me, and I don't really have an agenda here. I was just trying to provide a source. I provided that source, and a fellow editor found and verified that source via Google books . I don't know what else to do here. Thanks. -- Andrew Parodi (talk) 06:58, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Meringue tart?
I tagged the unsourced statement that meringue tart is a sponge cake. All the recipes that I have seen for meringue tart are tarts, i.e., they are made with pastry not sponge cake. The editor perhaps meant meringue torte? Tortes are sometimes made with sponge cake. On the other hand, meringue torte recipes often use meringue layers instead of cake layers. To me the claim that meringue tart is made with sponge cake might be followed by in my family. In any case, without a proper source, and since prevailing information contradicts it, the claim should be removed. Richigi (talk) 18:34, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

 * The picture next to it (File:Meringuetart.jpg) is titled "meringue tart", and it seems to be cake, not pastry. The Art of German Cooking and Baking p. 307 gives a recipe that has neither pastry nor cake.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:50, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Sadly, a label on a wiki-image is not a reliable source. The recipe you found is from a self-published source, so also questionable.  Anyway, as you pointed out, no cake in that recipe.  So, still no evidence to support the claim that a meringue tart is made with sponge cake. Richigi (talk) 06:31, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Removed alt. name claim from infobox
Removed the following text from the infobox: Mer Ringue translates to "Sea Syringe". Suggesting the use of a piping syringe to produce a wave or sea like pattern. A doubtful claim, and no source is provided. If supported by a reliable source, it belongs in the History section with the rest of the speculation about the origin of the word, not the infobox.

American Southwest Conference

The American Southwest Conference (ASC) is an intercollegiate athletic conference, founded in 1996, whose member schools compete in the NCAA's Division III. The schools are located in Texas and Arkansas. The conference competes in baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's cross country, football, men's and women's golf, men's and women's soccer, softball, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's track and field, and women's volleyball.

The American Southwest Conference operates from the same headquarters complex in the Dallas suburb of Richardson as the NCAA Division II Lone Star Conference.

History
The American Southwest Conference was announced in May 1996. The new league included some former members of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association (TIAA). Founding members of the ASC were Howard Payne University, Austin College, Hardin–Simmons University, McMurry University, Mississippi College, Sul Ross State University, the University of Dallas and the University of the Ozarks.

The expansion soon began as the University of Mary Hardin–Baylor joined the ASC in 1997; followed by East Texas Baptist University, LeTourneau University, Schreiner University and the University of Texas at Dallas in 1998; then Concordia University Texas in 1999, and finally Louisiana Christian University, then known as Louisiana College, and Texas Lutheran University in 2000.

The University of Dallas was a member of the ASC until the end of the 2000–01 season to become a Independent; and Austin College withdrew the ASC in the 2005–06 season to join the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC). The University of Texas at Tyler began athletics in 2002 and became a member in 2003, but as a provisional member of the NCAA, was ineligible to participate in ASC or NCAA postseason tournaments until 2007. Centenary College of Louisiana joined the conference in 2011, after completing their transition from Division I to Division III, but almost immediately announced its departure for the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference.

Recently, however, several schools have announced plans to leave the conference in favor of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, which lost seven of its members at the end of the 2011–12 school year. Centenary departed at the end of the 2011–12 season after joining the ASC in that same season; Schreiner and Texas Lutheran left at the end of the 2012–13 season.

In 2012, McMurry left the ASC and completed the process of reclassifying to a full-scholarship, Division II institution and joined the Heartland Conference. Additionally, Mississippi College announced that it would be also leaving the conference and reclassifying to Division II in 2014. Mississippi College will re-join the Gulf South Conference, a league that it had been a member of until 1996.

The departures of McMurry, Texas Lutheran and Mississippi College will leave the conference with only six football playing members, below the minimum seven participating schools required to receive an automatic bid to the NCAA football playoffs. The conference has not announced a plan to maintain its automatic bid.

ASC officials announced on March 13, 2014, the forthcoming addition of McMurry University and Belhaven University to its membership. McMurry will re-join the ASC after a two-year stint in the Division II level, competing as a member of the Heartland Conference; while Belhaven is scheduled to join the ASC as a provisional member in 2015.

On December 3, 2015, ASC officials reported that Texas Lutheran University and Southwestern University would join the conference for football in 2017 as football-only members. Both schools are members of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, but the conference only had four remaining schools competing in football. Two other SCAC schools. Austin College and Trinity University (Texas), announced they would play football in the Southern Athletic Association beginning with the 2017 season. The SCAC dropped football as a conference sport after the 2016 season.

In July 2018, the NCAA approved UT Tyler's application to begin a transition to NCAA Division II effective with the 2019–20 school year. Accordingly, UT Tyler left the ASC at the end of the 2018–19 school year. While the school did not immediately announce its future affiliation, it stated that it expected to join the Lone Star Conference. The following month, UT Tyler was officially unveiled as an incoming LSC member.

In July 2020, Louisiana College announced that it would leave the NCAA and applied to rejoin the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics after the 2020–21 school year.

More changes in the ASC membership were announced August 13, 2020, when Austin reported it would return to the conference as a football-only affiliate beginning with the 2021 season, committing to at least four years as an affiliate, then on August 19, 2021, Southwestern University announced its football program will move to the Southern Athletic Association (SAA) to start the 2023 season as an affiliate member. and on November 26, 2021, when the USA South Athletic Conference initially named Belhaven as its newest member in the 2022–23 academic year. However, on February 18, 2022, Belhaven was announced as an inaugural member of the new Collegiate Conference of the South (CCS) following a geographical split in the USA South, where the Blazers will remain as football associate members.

On November 1, 2022, McMurry University announced that it will leave the ASC in the fall of 2024 to join the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. While on February 1, 2023, Sul Ross State University announced that it will leave the ASC in the fall of 2024 to join the Lone Star Conference into Division II. Additionally on May 15, 2023, the SCAC announced it would also be accepting Concordia and University of the Ozarks as members for the 2024-25 school year. The rapid loss of members continued, with UT Dallas announcing their intent to transition to Division II and follow fellow conference member Sul Ross State to the Lone Star Conference on July 20, 2023 and LeTourneau announcing that they would be following McMurry, Concordia, and Ozarks to the SCAC on April 25, 2024, with both changes occurring for the 2025-26 school year. If no more schools join the ASC, the conference will be down to four schools, below the minimum required to qualify for an automatic bid to the NCAA championships for those sports with 100% participation.

David Flores was named the new commissioner of the American Southwest Conference on June 21, 2023, replacing the long-time commissioner, Amy Carlton.

First class travel

First class is the most luxurious and most expensive travel class of seats and service on a train, passenger ship, airplane, bus, or other system of transport. Compared to business class and economy class, it offers the best service and most comfortable accommodation.

Aviation

The first-class section of a fixed-wing jet airliner is typically toward the front of the aircraft. Many airlines have removed first class altogether from their international flights, offering business class as their highest level of international service. First class passengers are usually allowed into lounges at airports while they wait for their flights.

Railways
While first-class travel accommodation is common in intercity public transport rail services, they have become increasingly prevalent for commuters' short-distance daily travel, especially in rapid transit contexts, rather than longer-distance regional rail. Train stations in bigger cities may also offer lounges comparable to those found at airports for first class passengers or those who have a particular status in their frequent traveler programs.

Australia
Australia has internal rail operations in each of its states, excluding Tasmania, normally run by the State Government but in some cases is run by private operators. In each state, first class travel differs.

First-class travel on TrainLink comes in two forms. On Xplorer and XPT trains, first-class seating is offered which include an increased legroom and seating recline over economy-class seating. On some XPT trains, first-class sleeping compartments can also be found. On day services these accommodate three people per compartment, and by night they carry two people with bunk-style accommodation.
 * NSW TrainLink (New South Wales)

Queensland Rail offer first-class travel on many of their Traveltrain services, along with business class on their Tilt Train Services. Queensland Rail Traveltrain first class carriages provided private cabins in either roomette (single room) or twinette (double room) cabins.
 * Queensland Rail (Queensland)

First-class accommodation on V/Line is a 2×2 seating arrangement, with extra legroom and recline, only available on certain locomotive-hauled services.
 * V/Line (Victoria)

This railway privately operates the tourist-oriented The Overland, Indian Pacific, and The Ghan services. The first class travel on these trains are branded as Platinum Service (on the Indian Pacific and The Ghan) with roomette, twinette and deluxe cabins; or Red Premium Service (on The Overland) with 2x1 seating, extra legroom, and more recline than the Red Service seating.
 * Journey Beyond (New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Northern Territory and Western Australia)

Canada
The Canadian (Le Canadien) train, operated by Via Rail, offers a Prestige class, comparable to first class. It includes room service, in-room entertainment, and a private washroom with shower. The Québec City–Windsor corridor, also operated by Via Rail, offers a business class.

China
China Railway and its high-speed subsidiary offer First Class on its trains, slotting in between the standard "Second Class" and the premium "Business Class" tier. First Class consists of 2 seats on each side of the aisle, with adjustable, larger-than-normal seats, footrests, and access to sockets, toilets, and water dispensers.

Aside from inter-city train services, Shenzhen Metro Line 11, which serves the regional airport, has become the first metro line in China to offer Business Class cars (making up two of the eight cars on each train). It has been reported that this service, costing three times the amount of a standard class ticket, has remained sparsely used despite overcrowding in the rest of the train.

Germany
The various private and state-owned railways in Germany featured first-class, second-class and third-class amenities from the start. Beginning in Prussia in 1852, extremely austere fourth-class coaches were introduced. After nationalization (1920) and consolidation (Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft, 1924), the fourth class was abandoned in 1928 in order to generate more revenue by forcing passengers to pay the higher prices for third-class tickets.

As those of most of the rest of Europe, the railways of East as well as West Germany moved to a two-class system in 1956. To this end, the first class was abandoned and the former second and third classes redesignated as the new first and second classes. Except for some regional and commuter train services (including some, but not all S-Bahn systems), which are second-class only, this distinction exists to this day.

The difference in amenities between the first and second class varies between train operators, services and lines. It generally translates to more legroom, tables and/or three-abreast instead of four-abreast seating for first-class passengers. On Deutsche Bahn's national and international services, first-class passengers don't receive a complimentary meal but on all ICE and InterCity services, passengers in first class are served the full selection of meals and refreshments at their seats, while second-class passengers can only obtain them in the dining car.

With some, primary local, services operated both by DB and other companies, there is no difference in seating between classes, with exception to the presence of armrests and tables (with ostensibly cleaner interiors in some instances) in first class. The rationale for providing first-class spaces on these services is mainly that due to the higher price, there are usually seats left in first class when all second-class seats are taken. As such, the justification of purchasing First Class on regional services, often for the average traveller, is more so dictated as offering a "better-odds" gamble of finding vacant seating availability on certain trains (esp. rush hour S-Bahn/regional services) rather than the availability of tangible frills in contrast to second class. While not always enforced, the rules also stipulate that even for standing room in first class, a first class ticket must be held.

Hong Kong
A First Class compartment is available on each train serving the East Rail line (formerly KCR East Rail) in Hong Kong. Instead of longitudinal, stainless steel benches offered to standard-class passengers, the first-class compartments have comfier, individual padded seating with armrests. They are arranged in pairs and oriented transversely to the compartments. Passengers are required to pay an extra "first class premium" (equaling to the standard adult fare of the same East Rail line journey) on top of the standard fare, and first-class compartments are regularly patrolled by ticket inspectors.

The line originated as an intercity rail service, then known as the Kowloon-Canton Railway British Section, that formerly extended into Guangdong in Mainland China. Even after the line was electrified and modernized in the early 1980s and its trains were converted to provide high-capacity, metro-style service the following decade, the fourth compartment from the north end of each trainset retained its original seating layout as a First Class compartment. In 2007, the line became part of the MTR network, and it remains the only railway line in the region to offer a separate first-class service (though the Airport Express line provides a similar travel experience in all its carriages).

India
A number of suburban railways in India offer first-class travel, including:
 * Hyderabad Multi-Modal Transport System
 * Mumbai suburban railway
 * Chennai suburban railway

For intercity travel Indian Railways have 4 types of first class coaches.
 * Anubhuti Class, which is premium first class sitting coach.
 * AC First Class, which is premium first class sleeper coach.
 * Vistadome AC, which is basic first class sitting coach.
 * Executive Chair Car, which is basic first class sitting coach.
 * AC Second Tier, which is basic first class sleeper coach.

Indonesia

The Indonesian Railway Company operates first-class services that are officially called Luxury class services. Luxury class cars currently in operation have two different designs: the first-generation Luxury cars have a 1-1 seating formation with a dominantly woody ambience; the second-generation Luxury cars have a 2-1 seating formation with a more modern ambience and a complimentary mini bar. Both generations have audio-video on demand (AVOD) displays and a relatively better comfort than Executive-class trains.

Japan
The term "First Class" was abolished on Japanese National Railways in May 1969, and was replaced by "Green cars". Green cars are identifiable by the green four-leaf clover logo—accompanied with the words "GREEN CAR" typeset in Clarendon—at the doorways, and all seats in these cars are reserved. Usually they are in 1-2 configuration, with 2-2 configuration for Shinkansen trains, although more exclusive accommodations have also been introduced. While "green cars" have traditionally been found on limited express services, in recent years, there has been a gradual trend to restore Green cars to longer-distance commuter lines in the Tokyo area, complete with "Green Attendants" who provide an at-seat refreshment service as well as checking tickets.

In 2011 JR East began offering a premium level of service, "Gran Class" on the Tohoku Shinkansen line but has since extended the Gran Class accommodations to additional lines, with plans to continue adding the Gran Class amenity to new and existing Shinkansen service. The Gran Class cabin bears similarity to the appearance of upper class accommodations found in air travel. With increased leg room, lower passenger seating density, at-seat meals chosen from a menu, unlimited beverage service, as well as additional premium offerings like warm towels, complimentary newspapers, and attendants that can be summoned via pressing a button, the level of service offered supersedes what is offered in Green Cars.

On overnight trains, premium accommodations are known as A cabins, which may be couchettes, private rooms or suites. However, the offering of overnight first class accommodations on inter-city service has largely been phased out, facing the competition from the speed and convenience offered by the continued expansion of the Shinkansen network. As of 2023, only two overnight trains that offer first class-style sleeper accommodations, the Sunrise Seto and Sunrise Izumo, still operate in regular revenue service.

Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) refers to its first-class coaches as its "myu-ticket" (ミューチケット) service. These coaches are somewhat more comfortable than economy class and include assigned seating.

The Netherlands
Similarly to Germany, Dutch trains have had two classes since 1956. On Intercity trains, first class has a 2+1 seating, as opposed to 2+2 in second class, can recline and feature a feet rest in coach seating and have power sockets. For commuter trains both first and second class are in 2+2 layout, the difference between second and first class is in the padding of the seats, an additional armrest, decorative lighting and being more quiet due to being located at the ends of the train. Most regional trains in the rural areas only contain second class. Since 2015 all new bought trains contain power sockets in both first and second class in agreement with the government.

Philippines
The PNR South Long Haul project's express trains will operate a three-class configuration starting in 2022. "First Class" was defined by the Philippine National Railways as being lower than business class but higher than second class. This is based on the China Railway layout and similar to the Austrian Railjet model, with First Class being more of a premium economy class equivalent for railways.

The express trainsets were ordered in late 2019 but these were cancelled by February 2021. However, these were again proposed for bidding five months after the cancellation, with the order for 21 trainsets or 63 cars scaled down to 3 trainsets or 9 cars.

A first class or similar offering is also expected to be used on the North–South Commuter Railway with the introduction of the Clark International Airport–Alabang Airport Express Train service, which will be classified as limited express trains.

Qatar
The Doha Metro, which began trial service in 2019, has a "Gold Class" section in one end car, similar to that of Dubai (below).

Russia
The term "First Class" is not used as such by the Russian Railways, which has its own class system, but is commonly employed to translate the corresponding Russian term "SV" ("СВ" or "Спальный вагон", literally "Sleeping Car"). Note that while technically most cars in Russian long-distance trains are sleepers (i.e. berths rather than seats), the term is used only for the first-class cars. Such cars usually have 8 or 9 two-berth compartments with transversely mounted soft couches and a TV set, two toilets on different ends of the car, and a communal shower room (in 8-compartment cars). There is also a deluxe version of the SV car, usually dubbed "Premium", which features one-berth (or two-berth with foldable upper berth) compartments with a built in toilet/shower and better furnishing. This deluxe variant is sometimes informally referred to as "Myagky Vagon" (literally "Soft Car"), though this is a misnomer, as historically such designation indicated the intermediate between the SV and Coupe classes, long since discontinued, and referred to the better furnishing and softer padding of the berths as compared to the traditional Coupe class.

The service is usually the same in all classes on Russian Railways, the main difference being the increased personal space, reduced noise, and better isolation from unwanted contact with strangers, as well as better amenities; lower class cars may have a single shower per two couchette cars (54 passengers), while SV cars have one per 16 passengers, and in a Premium car each passenger has their own shower, an important consideration on lines such as the Trans-Siberian on which travel may last for up to a full week.

Spain
First-Class travel is not available on short-distance trains in Spain such as the Regionales or Cercanias services, but on long- and medium-distance trains such as the Altaria or Euromed services "Preferente" class, comparable to British first class, is available. This includes complimentary food and drinks (typically a welcome-aboard drink, including champagne, and drinks with the meal) as well as larger seats.

A further service is available on the high-speed AVE network. A club-class or preferente ticket allows access to lounges at certain stations. And onboard club-class service includes a large leather seat, power supply, à la carte food and unlimited complimentary bar service at your seat.

On all Spanish "Grandes Líneas" (long-haul) and Media Distancia (medium-haul) trains, video and music is available and accessed through complimentary headphones. Prices for first-class travel are not discounted other than for off-peak times of day and the price of a "preferente" ticket is normally only €30 - 40 more than economy, and club class on the AVE is normally only €40 more than "preferente" - significantly cheaper than most first-class fares in Britain.

United Kingdom

The existence and nature of different classes of passenger service on British trains has varied over time. From its inception, first, second, and third class carriages were provided, alongside luxury Pullman coaches. Currently, most longer-distance services offer First Class and Standard Class, whilst most local and suburban services are single class – as are urban transit services such as the London Underground.

A First Class ticket offers access to dedicated sections of the train, nearly always featuring fewer but larger, and more comfortable seats, in a generally more spacious arrangement that provides more personal space, often a table and upgraded decor/carpeting, and in some cases additional amenities (such as power outlets for mobile phones or laptop computers and as well as upgraded lighting for each set of seats).

In addition to the dedicated seating, the current First Class rail experience may include access to a passenger lounge (at major departure and/or arrival stations) and additional on-board services, such as food and/or drinks service, complimentary newspapers, free onboard WiFi etc. Such on-board services vary widely; they can be distributed by train operating company, by route, by day of week (weekday or weekend), and by time of day. The most complete First Class experience is offered by long-distance train operators, such as Great Western Railway, Avanti West Coast, London North Eastern Railway, and Transport for Wales's Premier Service, especially on weekday morning and evening trains on high-volume routes, where it is targeted at business travellers.

On busy commuter services First Class seating is similar or identical to Standard Class. However, its much higher cost ensures the First Class ticket holder a better chance of finding a seat. Some train operating companies offer First Class fares that are often nearly double the fare of Standard Class. On some services despite the existence of a First Class cabin, it is "declassified" indicating that any ticket holder may sit there, and first class tickets are usually not sold.

First Class service is also offered on the overnight Caledonian Sleeper service from London to Scotland.

Eurostar international trains between Great Britain and continental Europe offer two distinct first-class services, which they call Business Premier and Standard Premier respectively, in addition to Standard Class. The on-board accommodation is the same; the difference is greater flexibility, a shorter check-in time and more extensive catering (a full meal instead of a lighter snack) for the Business Premier service. Standard Premier was introduced on September 1, 2010; formerly, this service was called Leisure Select and also included full meal catering.

United States
From 1863, George Pullman introduced comfortable long-distance rail cars from, what was to become the Pullman Company, founded in 1867.

Today, on Amtrak services, first-class travel is available on the Acela Express service, as well as long-distance services operated with Superliner or Viewliner stock. Passengers also have access to special waiting rooms at many cities and high-traffic stations. First class on the Acela Express service has wider seats than the standard business class (44 vs. 65 seats per carriage), in-seat electrical outlets, a carriage attendant, and complimentary meals and beverages. On the long-distance services sleeping accommodation is provided, including Roomettes, Bedrooms, Bedroom Suites, and Accessible Bedrooms. Many rooms include a shower and toilet; for other rooms a toilet and/or shower is located nearby. Meals and other hotel-style services are also included in the price.

User talk:Anthere/Archives 2021/ban

I set this page myself. I did so because RK put unnice comments on my talk and user page. I didnot want these comments to stay there, hence I created this page to host them (a sort of raincloud). Apparently, I was not the only one thinking it was wrong to let unnice comments on my user page, since someone felt the need to protect it a couple of days ago.

I gave this title to the page, because RK has several times called for a hard ban on me (for example ). I think he is entitled to his opinion, and thought of providing him a place where he could give and defend arguments. As it appears, he is the only one supporting the idea I am a troll, harassing him, a pathological liar, unable to work with others, mentally disturbed and needing help, pushing my religion and political position on others, with such a poor english I should restrict my contributions to the french wikipedia... Hopefully, RK changed his mind :-) I am not offended by this page when so many people supported me. I am much more offended by the leftovers of RK's opinion on me in article talk pages. I hope he will refactor them as he promised to do here. (''Update : he did not. I moved some of the stuff there).

In the perspective of non-violence, I will update this page for history, then blank it, and delink it from my user page. It would be wrong of me to keep it so visible when the case appears close. However, in case anyone should later ask for a ban on me again, I think it could be useful for background.

Sample of a comment left on my talk page

Anthere, stop this harassment and trolling. You may not unilaterally disrupt our Biology articles. I have tried to work with you before, but you refused to discuss anything; you just kept on using reversions. And now you doing this unfriendly activity again? No talk? No discussion? No care about how thousands of other English speakers and scientists use these terms? For shame. We have already explained why these naming changes were being made. In fact, were you a competant English speaker, you already would have known why. English speakers DO NOT use the bizarre terminology that alone use. You can't rewrite every Wikipedia entry on this subject to use a non-existent terminology. This has already been explained to you before by me and by others, but you refuse to even comment on this point. Now you again engage in reversions to force the rest of thr world to go by you? Sorry, lady, but Wikipedia doesn't work that. English speakers do NOT use the terms you use, plain and simple. I have read books on this subject, article on the subject, and did Google searches over hundreds of websites...and your claims are FALSE. No one uses your terminology, and insiting on it only confuses English speaking Wikipedia readers. This isn't the French Wikipedia, its the English one. If you don't like, it go elsewhere. But your disrutpive behaviour, your reversions, and your refusal to even admit that English speakers *might* be misled by your private terminology only proves that you are not a team player. Go troll elsewere. RK 01:41 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Anthere, please stop this. You really have a serious problem, and you need to confront it. Stop your harassment, please. This is not a joke. RK

Let's ban Anthere because she's been in an edit war, and no respectable wikipedian has ever been in an edit war! Yeah! Also, she's using a pseudonym, and no respectable wikipedian uses a pseudonym! Yeah! Koyaanis Qatsi 04:24 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)

 * Seconded. I think it only fair to note that her English language skills are less than "perfect". For this offense alone, she should be not only banned but drawn and quartered, and then we should mince the quarters into little bits which should be fed to the Trolls we keep locked up in the dungeon, and then we could...

 * Actually, on second thought, let's not ban Anthere, because it would be stupid to do so given how she's a valuable contributor and not a vandal or troll. --Dante Alighieri 05:03 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)

 * As a reminder for our gentle readers, no one has said anything about banning Anthere except RK, who has very much harmed any case he may have by such ad-hominem attacks. As long as this is a conflict of personality, it is not solvable except by shouting until one or all participants are booted out to give the rest of Wikipedia some peace. That's why we seek to achieve a state of WikiLove -- we (all of us!) need to calm down and look rationally at the situation when the editing gets hot.

 * What precisely is the nature of the dispute? Is "bad information" being added? Is "good information" being removed? Or is good information being made difficult to find? Is it being "badly organized"? Does the disputed text seem to favor some point of view unwarrantedly? What, specifically, shows this? What changes would solve it?

 * Assume, for the sake of argument, that the other person is not a troll, a vandal, a spoiler, whatever. Assume that they, like you, have the oh-so-best of intentions, and ask what is the difference between their approach and your approach. Ask what is wrong with their approach. Ask what is right with their approach. Ask what is wrong with your own approach. (It could happen! Even I am wrong sometimes. From time to time.) Remember that no human being really has a neutral point of view, and that even our best efforts are only approximations, which to achieve fullness require a give-and-take with others with different points of view. --Brion 06:15 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Anthere, stop this harassment and trolling.

 * I am neither harassing you, nor trolling

You may not unilaterally disrupt our Biology articles.

 * our is "our". That means yours, mine and everyone else.

I have tried to work with you before, but you refused to discuss anything; you just kept on using reversions. And now you doing this unfriendly activity again? No talk? No discussion?

 * I explained my reversion in the talk page. You didnot explain your move. let's keep thing into the right point.

No care about how thousands of other English speakers and scientists use these terms? For shame.

 * Yes. I care about users. This is precisely why I did the reversion. You are just confusing theory and hypothesis. And just censoring the terminology hypothesis, where it is very obvious it is all over the net. Please type "gaia hypothesis" before doing deletions. Please also acknowledge the fact Lovelock has initially written an hypothesis, not a theory, and than both are different. I also note that you obviously don't know the subject very well, since you change the homeostatic article, indicating the theory was, when in reality the theory is homeorhetic and the hypothesis homeostatic. Please try to keep to stick to the topics you know more.

We have already explained why these naming changes were being made. In fact, were you a competant English speaker, you already would have known why. English speakers DO NOT use the bizarre terminology that alone use.

 * Again, you attack me on my capacity of using english ? You claim "Gaia hypothesis" is a term that doesnot exist and that I invented ? But really, how do you want me to give any credibility in what you say and write ???

You can't rewrite every Wikipedia entry on this subject to use a non-existent terminology. This has already been explained to you before by me and by others, but you refuse to even comment on this point.

 * this has been explained by you and you only. Not any other one.

Now you again engage in reversions to force the rest of thr world to go by you? Sorry, lady, but Wikipedia doesn't work that.

 * that is gonna work that work sorry, because clearly you are in a destructive pattern, and I won't let you damage our wikipedia again.

English speakers do NOT use the terms you use, plain and simple. I have read books on this subject, article on the subject, and did Google searches over hundreds of websites...and your claims are FALSE. No one uses your terminology, and insiting on it only confuses English speaking Wikipedia readers.

 * Yes, of course, no one use the "Gaia Hypothesis" term. This is enough. You are having a deep problem with your sources.

This isn't the French Wikipedia, its the English one. If you don't like, it go elsewhere. But your disrutpive behaviour, your reversions, and your refusal to even admit that English speakers *might* be misled by your private terminology only proves that you are not a team player. Go troll elsewere. RK 01:41 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)

 * That's best wishes, not a demand ;-) Martin 09:43 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Anthere's English is not fine. It's more than fine.

Yes, she occasionally makes mistakes, but they're easily fixed (and if they're not, by most people, they're probably on their way to become a new dialect!). And is there anybody whose English is perfect? Bush? (Ok, he's a great guy, but apparently his Harvard years didn't really include one particular course.)

Her able command of English is obviously the result of years of reading English text, formal and informal (hence a solid grasp of the idioms), and probably some speech interaction as well.

Ant, please just ignore that person's comment on your English ability. There's no truth in it at all. He's just picking on you 'cos you're French, like Americans pick on us because we're Canadians, because there's that something nice about our two nations they'll never possess. :-D

Despite the grand knowledge possessed by the large population of France, we only have two active French contributors: Ant and Tarquin. And if Ant subconsciously drifts away because a baseless accusation, we'd be left alone with Tarquin -- who will then bite off our scalps due to solitude.

--Menchi 13:08 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)

 * actually, I think there are other french contributors around. -- Tarquin 08:43 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)

 * Yep, the French Wikipedian list shows like a dozen, but about only 5 I have encountered, and none other reached the same degree of participation you two have. --Menchi 15:55 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I cannot resist the temptation to point out the irony in the spelling error present in In fact, were you a competant English speaker, you already would have known why..

RK, how many langauges do you know as well as Anthere knows English? Just one? Hmm.

Kat 22:07 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Peace and love ;D Alvaro 00:49 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Hi Anthere, I just read RK's newest comments on your "vandalism", "mental illness" and "pathological lying". Do not take him serious, he has insulted almost everyone on Wikipedia in this way, and now it is you. I hope, that this ban page will go away soon and that you won't be discouraged by this ridiculous person. Keep on the good work -- Cordyph 14:12 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)

thanks Cordyph

- I don't see anyone harassing anyone except this RK character. Anthere responded specifically and verifiably to each baseless accusation. RK responds by ignoring all her well-reasoned replies, and accusing her of harassment??!! RK you are looking worse every minute.

Love and Peace, Steverapaport 18:40 5 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I don't know what is going on here and no nothing about the topic. But from what I have read RK seems to be one in the wrong in his treatment of Anthere. Yes there are problems sometimes with people whose english is not perfect (I can think of 1 person with poor english who made some articles unreadable. But even if that was the case with Anthere (and I don't know of any evidence) I have seen absolutely nothing to justify her being called a troll and not one item to justify the creation of a 'let's ban' page. RK, if you have evidence not rhetoric please show it. In the meantime please show Anthere the respect she so obviously deserves as a genuine wikipedian. FearÉIREANN 19:04 5 Jul 2003 (UTC)

 * Agreed on all counts. Please visit User_talk:RK/ban on this issue.

I am going to list this page on the Votes for Deletion page. It is deeply insulting to a genuine user against which not one shred of evidence has been produced, to have such a page in existence. These pages should be used to deal with extreme cases and I see nothing in Anthere's behaviour, nor does anyone else here, to warrant such a downright insulting thing as a lets ban Anthere page. So please RK, if you have some evidence, show it, if you don't, end the abuse.

You seem to engage constantly in edit wars with people, RK. I have not followed them because they have been on topics I know little about. The first time I didn't form enough to form a judgment. The second time I wasn't sure. But you seem to be in so many with so many people on such a range of topics I have to ask you to consider - is the problem causing all these wars with you? Think about it, RK. And in the meantime this page is being proposed for deletion. FearÉIREANN 02:46 7 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Let's ban KQ because he's stubborn and sometimes terse or even rude. Also, he makes a lot of mistakes when he edits after a night out drinking, and so occasionally spams Recent Changes correcting his own mistakes. We'll show him! Koyaanis Qatsi 04:24 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)

 * Careful, KQ, admit to drinking and you'll piss off the temperance movement! --Dante Alighieri 05:23 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)

 * "Long-time party activist Earl F. Dodge has run as the Prohibition Party's presidential nominee in 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, and again in 2004. Dodge received just 208 votes in 2000 -- the party's worst electoral showing ever."

 * smirk* Hephaestos

 * Isn't the temperance movement pissed already (not, of course, in the British sense)? I suppose next they turn green and smash poker games and pool halls?  ;-)  Koyaanis Qatsi

I have an idea. Let's start a whole new wikipedia with all the banned good people. We'll do great I am sure. I have a couple of other names to suggest as well. Elk.

Atlantic Central Football Conference

The Atlantic Central Football Conference (ACFC) was a college athletic conference which competed in football only in the NCAA Division III. Its member teams were located in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. The conference disbanded following the 2010 season.

Final member schools
