Non-free use disputed for Image:Nyuseal.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Nyuseal.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:16, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

UTA TRAX seperate line maps
Hello. I've been recently involved with the UTA TRAX line articles (Sandy-Salt Lake Line and University Line). Is it possible to create a map for each of the lines and, if possible, the future Mid-Jordan Line (which has the stations determined)? Thanks 71.35.235.137 19:13, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mcgill-logo.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Mcgill-logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:30, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you...
I was the one who solicited your help in creating a map for the Baltimore Light Rail, and I wonder if I could request an update to the map, since they've changed the service pattern. Basically, the one-stop Penn Station shuttle has been replaced by a longer line going the length of downtown. You can see the updated version here (in PDF format). Thanks in advance if you're able to dedicate time to this! --Jfruh (talk) 04:13, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

List of McGill University people
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of McGill University people, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add db-author to the top of the page. J 23:54, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:BCseal.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:BCseal.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Redirect of Saucer speration
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Saucer speration, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Saucer speration is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Saucer speration, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Fair use rationale for Image:Udem.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Udem.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Nyuheights.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Nyuheights.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:McGillCampusMap.png
A tag has been placed on Image:McGillCampusMap.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 22:29, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:PATH-Grove_Street.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:PATH-Grove_Street.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:18, 30 December 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 11:18, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Hudson Waterfront
I see that of late you have not been very active with Wikipedia, but wonder if you'd help with an image you originally created. specifically .I would like to include it in Hudson Waterfront, but would prefer to add Fairview and eliminate Englewood Cliffs as the that change would better represent the the contiguous urban area described in article. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths

The Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths is one of the livery companies of the City of London. The organisation was first mentioned in a court record in 1299. A Royal Charter officially granting it the status of Company was granted in 1571. The Company originally had the right to set regulations and standards for blacksmiths in the City of London. However, the right eroded over time. By the end of the eighteenth century, little remained of the company's former powers and so the Company did not the renew the lease on its hall at expiration in 1785.

Background
Trustees continued to administer the funds of the Society. From 1828 there was a renewed energy on the social aspects of the company. After 1890 there was a renewed connection with the craft of Blacksmithing, and by 1934 this was on a basis covering all of the United Kingdom rather than just the City of London. The members (both men and women) of the Livery now include many practising blacksmiths.

Nowadays the Court of The Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths, on the advice of the Craft Committee, awards a range of Certificates, Diplomas and Medals. These recognise various degrees of ability and quality of workmanship achievable by training and experience of Blacksmiths working as individuals and when working as a team. The awards range from a Certificate of Competence and a Journeyman's Certificate for apprentices starting out on their careers to a gold medal for consistent work of very high quality in prestigious commissions given to blacksmiths who have had long experience in the craft.

The Company provides judges and prizes at County Shows, and maintains a charitable trust which makes donations, principally to support trainee blacksmiths in the UK. The Blacksmiths' Company ranks fortieth in the order of precedence of Livery Companies. Its motto is By Hammer and Hand All Arts Do Stand.

Merger with Jewry Wall Museum
I'm about to revert the undiscussed merger by Rushton2010 of Jewry Wall with Jewry Wall Museum. The two entities are quite distinct, and deserve separate articles. The museum is far more than a "museum of the ruin": it's a museum of Leicester's pre-modern archaeology (prehistoric to medieval), which happens to be located next to the ruin, and is an important cultural institution in its own right. It's a shame that no-one has yet done much work to expand the museum article beyond stub status, but that's only a matter of time: the material is there. GrindtXX (talk) 12:34, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Jessica Savitch

Jessica Beth Savitch (February 1, 1947 – October 23, 1983) was an American television journalist who was the weekend anchor of NBC Nightly News and daily newsreader for NBC News during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Savitch was one of the first women to anchor an evening network newscast alone, following in the footsteps of Marlene Sanders of ABC News and Catherine Mackin of NBC News. She also hosted PBS's public affairs program Frontline from its January 1983 debut until her death the following October.

Savitch was known for her audience appeal and her skill as an on-camera news reader, although she drew criticism for her relative lack of journalism experience. Prior to joining NBC News, she was a popular local anchorwoman in Philadelphia and before that, while working at a Houston television station, she was the first female news anchor in the South.

Early life
Jessica Savitch was born February 1, 1947, in Wilmington, Delaware. She was the eldest daughter of Florence (née Goldberger), a navy nurse, and David “Buddy” Savitch, who ran a clothing store. Her father was of Slavic Jewish heritage and her maternal grandfather was of German and Russian Jewish heritage. Her maternal grandmother was of Italian American heritage and was Catholic.

Buddy Savitch suffered from nephritis, an incurable kidney disease. He died on May 11, 1959, when he was 33 and Jessica was 12. Her family then moved from Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, to Margate City, New Jersey. While attending Atlantic City High School, Savitch got a job co-hosting a rock show for teenagers on radio station WOND in Pleasantville; she soon became a newsreader and disc jockey for WOND as well. She was the first female disc jockey in the Pleasantville area.

Following high school, Savitch attended Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York, as a communications major. She was an announcer for the college’s television station, WICB, and worked in radio at nearby Rochester's WBBF (now WROC-AM). There, she did voice-over commercial work, and became a popular top 40 disc jockey known as "Honeybee". She graduated from Ithaca College in 1968, but remained connected to the college, returning periodically to teach a mini-course on television news.

New York City
In 1969, Savitch was hired as an administrative assistant at WCBS, the CBS Radio flagship news station in New York City, where she also did freelance production work. WCBS refused to hire her as a reporter because she had no professional experience. With the permission of News Director Ed Joyce and the help of a three-person crew, Savitch used the WCBS-TV facilities to make a television audition tape and sent copies to hundreds of television stations around the country seeking an on-air position. This included all cities big enough to have all three networks. She received fewer than a dozen responses and only one job interview.

Houston
Despite her lack of broadcast news experience, Savitch was hired by KHOU-TV in Houston as the station's first female reporter. Dick John, the manager who hired her, said he did so because he was impressed with her ambition as well as her copywriting and speaking skills. When Savitch arrived at KHOU, she was the only female working in the news department other than one secretary; colleagues helped her learn the basics of her job. Because KHOU was non-union, she participated in many aspects of production as well as reporting on camera. A few months after joining KHOU, Savitch auditioned for and won a weekend anchor shift, becoming the first female news anchor in the South and beginning to develop the formal, mannered style of news delivery for which she later became known. Her report on a train derailment and fire received national exposure on the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite.

Philadelphia
In 1972, Savitch joined KYW-TV, then the NBC affiliate (now CBS O&O) in Philadelphia, as a general assignment reporter and weekend anchor under a five-year contract. Unlike the Houston station, this station was unionized, so Savitch was not permitted to do work other than on-camera newsreading and reporting. At the time KYW hired Savitch, it was under pressure from the Philadelphia chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) to place more women in then-non-traditional roles on the local news or else face a possible legal challenge to its broadcast license. When she was initially unable to obtain a weeknight anchor shift, Savitch attempted to break her KYW contract and take a job offered by CBS in New York. KYW refused to release her from her contract but agreed to raise her salary and (partly to satisfy NOW) make her a weeknight anchor. Savitch soon began to anchor noon news broadcasts as well, and eventually became part of a popular team of three anchors with Mort Crim and Vince Leonard on the 11:00pm news. Philadelphia viewers responded enthusiastically to her on-camera presence, which was perceived as "magical" and triggering an "almost emotional bond" with the audience.

As a result of her KYW work, Savitch became a local celebrity in Philadelphia and was sometimes mobbed walking down the street. Male viewers schemed to meet her, and female viewers copied her hairstyle. Despite her local acclaim, Savitch aspired to leave local news and become a network correspondent.

Impressed with her performance, NBC offered her a three-year contract starting in September 1977 as a Washington, D.C. correspondent and anchor. Savitch did her last newscast for KYW in August 1977.

Savitch got along well with some members of the KYW staff, including her regular location shooting crew and her co-anchor Mort Crim. Crim later admitted that he was initially "not nice to her" due to his own male chauvinism, but the two later became good friends. (Crim delivered the eulogy at her memorial service after her death.)

Multi-part series
Savitch won recognition for multi-part feature stories on unusual (for that time) topics. For example, Philadelphia KYW news director Jim Topping, inspired by his and his wife’s experience attending Lamaze classes, assigned Savitch to cover a five-part series on natural childbirth. Savitch and her camera crew covered a local family who were expecting a second child. When it appeared this baby might not be born in time for the heavily advertised series, the crew even compiled a list of other expectant mothers in the area as back-up, although luckily the baby was born four days before the start date.

This series on childbirth began as scheduled on Monday and on Thursday, November 22, 1973 — Thanksgiving Day — showed much of the actual birth. Almost Golden states, “when KYW brought the scene into the audience’s living rooms on a warm holiday evening, it made for powerful television.” In addition, Topping told Savitch, “You've made your career.”

Savitch often personalized her stories by becoming part of the story herself, such as serving as an undercover decoy [with police posted unobtrusively along the route] for two weeks as part of her series on rape. This series, entitled "Rape . . . the Ultimate Violation", won a Clarion Award for excellence from Women in Communications, Inc. In addition, KYW Philly received many requests for rebroadcast which it met. The series was also screened by community groups and state legislatures in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, helping to bring about legislative changes, and motivating several state and local governments to open rape crisis centers.

For the series entitled “Lady Law,” Savitch primarily interviewed female law enforcement professionals from other cities. However, she also completed the Philadelphia Police Academy training, and engaged in activities such as shooting a handgun, jumping over oil barrels, squeezing under a barrier, and climbing a six-foot wall. This series won Savitch two awards, but also left her with sore muscles and a “wrenched back” for some weeks afterwards.

Other multi-part series starring Savitch included: single adults, marriage mills of Las Vegas, impact of divorce on American society, issue of when life begins and ends, Pennsylvania snow skiing in the Pocono Mountains, the “New Philadelphia Sound” in music, and traveling to Hollywood to interview Joey Bishop, Peter Boyle, Eddie Fisher and other Philadelphians who had made it big in show business.

Filling airtime during technical problem in 1976 Presidential debate
In 1976, she came to the attention of NBC executives while reporting from a presidential campaign debate between President Gerald Ford and Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter held at Philadelphia's Walnut Street Theatre. An audio line failed, delaying the debate and leaving three KYW reporters, including Savitch, to fill the 27 minutes of air time before the audio could be restored. KYW producer Cliff Abromats stated, “She [Savitch] was very good on her feet. She could think fast and ask the right questions, and she had the ability so many lack, to actually listen to the answer. Jessica would never miss it when someone said something unexpected.”

NBC
Savitch joined NBC News in 1977 as a weekend anchor for NBC Nightly News. In order to counter criticism that she had been hired for her looks and promoted ahead of skilled journalists, NBC also assigned her to do reporting work, including a brief stint as U.S. Senate correspondent.

Savitch was the network's second woman to anchor a weekend national newscast; Catherine Mackin had previously anchored NBC's Sunday evening newscast beginning in December 1976, before she left for ABC News the following year. Savitch later became the first woman to anchor the weeknight edition of NBC Nightly News, periodically substituting for the regular anchors John Chancellor and David Brinkley. She was also assigned to anchor short NBC News updates (initially called NBC News Update, later called NBC News Capsule and NBC News Digest) that ran approximately one minute and aired between regular prime time programs each evening, drawing a high number of viewers. She began to fill more roles in NBC's news programming, serving as a regular panel member on Meet The Press, contributing to the news magazine programs Prime Time Saturday and Prime Time Sunday, and contributing commentary to the NBC Radio Network. She substituted as anchor on the Today and Tomorrow shows. She was offered the anchor position for an early-morning news program Early Today but turned it down.

As a network anchor, Savitch had a charismatic presence and became popular with network affiliates and viewers. A 1982 TV Guide poll named her the fourth most trusted news anchor in the country, above many of the most established male anchors of the period. Another 1982 poll named her the "sexiest" female anchor in the country. Affiliates agreed to run the NBC News Update segments largely because she would be presenting them. Her success influenced numerous aspiring female newscasters to model themselves after her look and delivery. In 1980, she was one of the twelve most popular speakers in the United States.

Savitch constantly worked on improving her news reading delivery, using a voice coach and other techniques. NBC executives and colleagues praised her skillful narration of film showing the murders of Congressman Leo Ryan and several others in a mass shooting by members of the Peoples Temple at Jonestown. There had not been time to view the film prior to its broadcast, and Savitch had to improvise her narration while viewing the graphic film for the first time.

PBS anchor
In January 1983, in addition to her work for NBC, Savitch began hosting a new public affairs documentary program on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), Frontline. She continued as host until her death later that year, at which time Judy Woodruff took over as host.

October 3, 1983 live broadcast incident
Despite Savitch's competence and success as an anchor, by 1983 NBC was beginning to shift its focus to other female anchors, particularly Connie Chung. In June 1983, NBC removed Savitch from her regular Saturday evening anchor slot and replaced her with Chung, who also accepted the Early Today position that Savitch had rejected. From then until her death in October 1983, Savitch's only regular appearances on NBC were on the NBC News Digest segments. Savitch began feeling anxious about her job and showed signs of emotional instability.

On October 3, 1983, during an NBC News Digest segment, Savitch was slurring her speech, deviating from her script and ad-libbing her report. She performed a later segment the same evening without issues. Savitch's flawed delivery fueled speculation that she was using drugs, specifically cocaine. However, she blamed the problems on a teleprompter malfunction, while her agent said it was due to the effects of pain medication in relation to recent facial reconstructive surgery following a boating accident.

While some of Savitch's colleagues said they had seen evidence of drug use, other friends and associates expressed skepticism that she had a drug problem. NBC correspondent Linda Ellerbee later said that she had asked network management to intervene, telling them, "You have to do something. This woman [Savitch] is in trouble." Ellerbee said that a network vice president responded, "We're afraid to do anything. We're afraid she'll kill herself on our time." When management failed to act, Ellerbee and other correspondents had tried to reach out to Savitch, who died before anything could be done.

Although Gwenda Blair wrote that Savitch's poor performance on the October 3 segment effectively ended her network career, a People magazine article published after her death said that her NBC contract had actually been renewed (although the renewal was for just one year rather than her previous three-year contracts), that she would have reclaimed a spot as a substitute Sunday anchor for NBC Nightly News in January 1984, and that she was set to appear on another season of Frontline.

Personal life
Savitch was married twice and had no children. Her first marriage in 1980 to Philadelphia advertising executive Melvin "Mel" Korn ended in divorce after eleven months. Korn reportedly divorced Savitch after learning that she had a significant drug problem.

Savitch's second marriage in March 1981 to Dr. Donald Payne, her gynecologist, lasted only a few months. It ended when Payne, who had substance abuse problems of his own and suffered from depression, committed suicide by hanging in their Washington, D.C. townhouse. Savitch, who was in New York at the time, found his body when she returned; she returned to her work at NBC three weeks later.

Savitch had a long-term intermittent relationship with TV news executive Ron Kershaw, who had substance abuse problems and physically abused Savitch during their relationship. In the early 1970s, while she was working for CBS in New York City, Savitch also had a romantic relationship with CBS News journalist Ed Bradley, who was then a WCBS radio reporter. According to Bradley, after the relationship ended they continued to have a "non-romantic, social, and professional relationship" until her death.

According to her biographers Blair and Nash, Savitch was a driven perfectionist who constantly battled insecurities about her appearance and ability, suffered from social anxiety, and tended to isolate herself from network colleagues. Both biographers also write that Savitch had a problem with cocaine that eventually affected her career. Biographers have also asserted that Savitch was bisexual and had romantic relationships with women as well as men. These assertions were disputed by Savitch's family and some of her friends after her death. Savitch's friend, WNBC anchor Sue Simmons, said in a 2013 retrospective article marking the 30th anniversary of Savitch's death, "When the books and the movie came out [after her death], they made her out to be this troubled character. Nobody ever talked about her big heart, her loyalty, her sense of humor, and her fabulousness as a person."

Death
On October 23, 1983, Savitch had dinner with Martin Fischbein, vice president of the New York Post, at the Chez Odette restaurant in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Savitch and Fischbein had been dating for a few weeks. They began to drive home about 7:15 p.m., with Fischbein driving and Savitch in the back seat with her dog, Chewy. It was raining heavily; Fischbein may have missed posted warning signs. He drove out of the wrong exit from the restaurant and up the towpath of the old Pennsylvania Canal's Delaware Division on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River. The Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser station wagon veered too far to the left and went over the edge into the shallow water of the canal. After falling approximately fifteen feet and landing upside down in four to five feet of water, the car sank into deep mud that sealed the doors shut. Savitch and Fischbein were trapped inside as water poured in. A local resident found the wreck at about 11:30 that night. Fischbein's body was still strapped behind the wheel, with Savitch and her dog in the back seat.

After autopsies, the Bucks County coroner ruled that both Savitch and Fischbein had died of asphyxiation by drowning. Neither Savitch nor Fischbein had any drugs other than alcohol in their systems, and they had consumed only small amounts of alcohol—about half a glass of wine each.

Savitch's family and a group of her friends later sued the New York Post (whose insurance covered the leased car Fischbein was driving), Fischbein's estate, Chez Odette, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for damages in Savitch's death. The suit was settled for $8 million, most of which was paid by the Post. Some of the money was used to establish scholarships for women studying for careers in broadcasting or journalism at Ithaca College and other institutions.

Awards and honors
Savitch gave the main address at Ithaca College's 1979 commencement, at which she was awarded an honorary doctorate of humane letters. In 1980, she was elected to the Ithaca College Board of Trustees. The school’s television Studio A is named in honor of Savitch, and the college's Jessica Savitch Communications Scholarship was established to support students in the Roy H. Park School of Communications who demonstrate excellence, achievement, and promise in the field of broadcast journalism.

The Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia posthumously inducted Savitch into their Hall of Fame in 2006.

In popular culture
Jessica Savitch published her own autobiography, Anchorwoman, in 1982. After her death, two posthumous biographies were written about her. According to The Washington Post, each of her biographers interviewed over 300 people in order to write their respective books. Although both biographies contain similar material, Savitch's family and friends have challenged as untrue portions of the books regarding her reporting skills and controversial aspects of her personal life (see Personal life).

The first biography, Almost Golden: Jessica Savitch and the Selling of Television News (Simon & Schuster, 1988) by Gwenda Blair, told Savitch's story within the broader context of the history of network news. It was later made into a Lifetime Network made-for-TV movie starring Sela Ward, called Almost Golden: The Jessica Savitch Story. When first aired, Almost Golden earned the second-highest rating ever for a cable television film up to that point. The television film was criticized for omitting or downplaying controversial aspects of Savitch's life and career that were discussed at length in Blair's book.

The second, Golden Girl: The Story of Jessica Savitch (Dutton, 1988) by Alanna Nash, became the basis of the 1996 theatrical film Up Close & Personal starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert Redford. Up Close and Personal was originally intended as a biographical film about Savitch. However, the plot of the movie was substantially changed to become a love story quite different from Savitch's life. According to Nash and John Gregory Dunne (who worked on the screenplay and wrote the book Monster: Living Off the Big Screen about the making of the film), this was because the filmmakers, including The Walt Disney Company that was financing the film, considered Savitch's life story too downbeat to be popular at the box office. Many reviews of the movie discuss how the film departed, probably for commercial reasons, from Savitch's actual biography.

The 1996 feature film Up Close & Personal starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert Redford was loosely based on Savitch's life. The A&E series Biography featured an episode about Savitch and her relationship with her male peers, which inspired Will Ferrell to make the 2004 comedy film Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, whose two main characters were based on her and Mort Crim. Lifetime also aired a documentary entitled Intimate Portrait: Jessica Savitch that was based on the perspectives of Savitch biographer Alanna Nash. Savitch appears in the 2016 film X-Men: Apocalypse through the use of archive footage.

In episode 2 of season 2 of Only Murders in the Building, the fictional character Oliver Putnam states that he had an affair with Savitch in the eighties and she left him for Ed Bradley.

Worshipful Company of Bowyers

The Worshipful Company of Bowyers is one of the livery companies of the City of London.

Originally, bowyers (longbow-makers) and fletchers (arrow-makers) composed one organisation. However, in 1371, the fletchers petitioned the lord mayor to divide into their own company, the Worshipful Company of Fletchers. Demarcation disputes arose between the two over supervision until 1429, when a City ordinance defined their respective spheres. It was not until the late 1480s that the bowyers acquired a coat of arms and a set of coherent written ordinances.

The actual trade of the bowyers still survives. Although originally made for use in war and hunting, there is now some demand for longbows used in target archery. There are several practising bowyers in the membership of the company and it maintains a great interest in the craft. The bowyers are also involved in the sport of archery and give awards and medals each year at the Royal Toxophilite Society and school competitions.

The Bowyers' Company mostly exists as a charitable institution, as do a majority of the 111 livery companies, with a focus on giving to charities where it can make some difference. HMS Northumberland is affiliated to it. The Bowyers rank 38th in the order of precedence of the companies, immediately above the Worshipful Company of Fletchers. Uniquely, among all the city's livery companies, companies without livery and guilds, it is the only company with a two-year officer and mastership cycle going back to at least 1488.

The company motto is Crecy, Poitiers, Agincourt, a reference to the Battle of Crécy, the Battle of Poitiers, and the Battle of Agincourt, all battles between medieval England and France in the Hundred Years' War in which longbows and English longbows were used to great effect by English and Welsh archers, before artillery took over towards the end of the war. The coat of arms contains three flotes, tools traditionally used for smoothing and shaping wood.

Worshipful Company of Fletchers

The Worshipful Company of Fletchers is one of the livery companies of the City of London.

Originally, one organisation included both bowyers (longbow-makers) and fletchers (arrow-makers). However, in 1371, the fletchers petitioned the Lord Mayor to divide into their own Company, leaving the bowyers to form the Worshipful Company of Bowyers.

The trade of fletchers, considering the development of more technologically advanced weapons, has disappeared entirely. The Company still remains, however, primarily as a charitable institution, as do a majority of the 110 Livery Companies. The Fletchers' Company ranks 39th in the order of precedence of the Livery Companies, immediately below the bowyers. Its motto is True and Sure.

Re: Montessori Article
I was disturbed by the fact that the entire Montessori_Method article is unreferenced. I notice that you have made many edits to this article and others, so with due respect I ask you for opinions/advice.

I also noticed that one of the early authors of the page used information copied with permission from Montessorimom.com and this seems suspect. I am a product of, and believer in, these schools and their philosophies, and I see that the founder of Wikipedia is also, but this article seems biased even to me.

You've gone to considerable lengths to improve this article, but why bother if its original authors are biased and do not cite their sources?

I added the Reference tag to the top of the article for this reason. I hope that this will help. Please advise- thank you. --Merryjman

Talk:Galactic Center

Notes for Editors
Two notes for future editors :-

-- Gandalf61 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gandalf61 (talk • contribs) 23:15, 20 November 2003 (UTC)
 * 1) Capitalisation - it is the Galactic Center (capital G capital C) because it is the centre of a specific galaxy, namely the Milky Way, so it is a proper noun - just like Central Park, the Panama Canal, the Eddystone Lighthouse etc etc.
 * 2) Spelling - the originator of the article used the American English spelling "Center" so I have retained it throughout the article for consistency.
 * That's fair enough but we should mention that it can also be spelt "Galactic Centre". Jimp 09:46, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Distance to the Galactic Centre
I find "It is located at a distance of about 8 kiloparsecs in the brightest part of the Milky Way, in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius" confusing, but I'm not sure how to clean it up. One step forward would be to indicate that the distance is from earth, and it's probably better to use light years instead of kiloparsecs. Could somebody who knows more about astronomy take a swing at it? Thanks! --William Pietri 08:15, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * actually, Rₒ - the scientific notation for the distance to the Galactic Center (please add this notation into the section about the distance) - is the distance from the Sun (not the Earth as is erroneously indicated in the first paragraph of the article - would someone please make the correction) to the Galactic Center. Naturally this is not really significant considering the margin of error at between 4 and 8% depending of the source, far more then the distance from the Earth to the Sun. You can read in "The Distance to the Center of the Galaxy" - (open pdf and read first two sentences of introduction) - that is an older paper then those cited below but the only one I was able to open and read into, the others have to be paid for. Zigomar7 (talk) 16:42, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Recent papers give a much larger uncertainty in the distance to the galactic center, e.g. 8.4 +/- 0.6 kpc (http://arxiv.org/abs/0902.3913), and even a range as large as 6-10 kpc (http://arxiv.org/abs/0907.4685). I don't agree with the above comment of using light years rather than kpc, since kpc is the natural unit for galactic sizes. Jcline1 (talk) 21:15, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

 * I've updated the distance given the best recent work (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2009ApJ...692.1075G), though (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2008ApJ...689.1044G) is equally applicable, and very similar. The two papers Jcline1 cites give less accurate (but consistent) values for the distance using different data, and the best data available should be used. Trefusius (talk) 13:01, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Why not give figures for both light years and kpc? As a general reader the sentence " It is located at a distance of 8.33±0.35 kpc (~27,000±1,000 ly) ... " is utterly meaningless to me. I find this a problem with other entries on astrophysics. I want to know things like - how big is the galaxy? where are we located in it? how far is it to the centre? to the edge? etc. Simple stuff ... the stuff I expect to find in an encyclopaedia, rather than a scientific paper.

I predict that the opening paragraph means nothing to 99.9999% of Wikipedia readers.

(For that matter, what are ly? kpc? how about a link for them? I'm not against learning new notations etc., but I don't want to have to learn them to understand a wiki entry.)

 * the best and most recent estimates are by reid et al., 2014: http://arxiv.org/abs/1401.5377 . the parsec is the standard unit of physical distance in astronomy; light years is obsolete except when distances are stated on "star trek".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Macevoy (talk • contribs) 06:38, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

It has a name
The name of the Milky Way's galactic center is the Shapley Center. I just added a redirect so that name redirects here. However, the name of this article should be about galactic centers in general. For instance, does the center of Andromeda Galaxy have a name?--Will 05:17, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Though apparently used in Star Trek, I was unable to uncover any evidence the name Shapley Center had been used in scientific publications. I am quite confident therefore that simply calling it the Galactic Center is the most common name.  Dragons flight 14:27, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

 * What can I say, Star Trek writers were able to search for information more effeicient than people armed by modern days search engines. Check this out. 195.137.203.137

 * Added a reference to this guy 195.137.203.137

 * It could be mentioned in a "popular culture" section, but this article doesn't have one. --ElPeski (talk) 23:34, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Deleted Astrological Cr*p
Deleted Astrological Cr*p —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.176.105.40 (talk) 10:22, 2 March 2007 (UTC).

that's funny, because i came to this article looking for astrological crap, ie the mayan calendar coinciding with the alignment of the sun and galactic center in 2012. if it doesnt belong here, can there at least be a link to the info located elsewhere? 76.217.120.247 15:58, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

CAN I JUST SAY I AGREE!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.184.67 (talk) 00:23, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

If you really want to look up astrological information, try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Astrology. Not an astronomy article. Metaphysically (talk) 08:53, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Black Hole
The second half of the article stated unequivocally that there is a black hole at the Galactic Center. The first half qualified this, and implied that there might not be.

There is a published article in the journal Nature that states there is no doubt that there is a black hole in the center. I edited this article to reflect that certainty. At this point (six years later) there are numerous confirming articles.

Any editor who wishes to change that must cite a reliable reference.

Nick Beeson (talk) 03:23, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

More pictures of the center
There are two good pictures (specifically this one and this one) that could be very useful within this article. However I've not been able to fit them without changing the aspect of the article too much. Someone else with a greater sense of order could do it.--ElPeski (talk) 23:42, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Added using Gallery tag. --Petersam (talk) 20:28, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I also recommend this one (but it's a bit of self-promotion so I don't want to add it myself): --Keflavich (talk) 21:47, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Might there be?
Might there be something surrounding the core? In spore, there are The Grox, and they try to let you not go through to it. Is the great rift a clue in to something preventing us from seeing the center or something? DownAirStairsConditioner (talk) 15:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Why Center with capital "C"
It seems more logical to me that the 'c' should not be capitalized. I'd be hard convinced that this is a proper name. __meco (talk) 13:46, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It is a proper place name. By convention, Galactic Center (capitalized) refers to the center of the Milky Way. The generic galactic center article is "bulge (astronomy)" on Wikipedia. Galactic center (uncapitalized) should redirect there. --IanOsgood (talk) 17:57, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I see. I changed that redirect target which you mentioned. __meco (talk) 18:15, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Neither word is a proper noun so neither needs an initial capital. You don't write about Space. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.132.132.135 (talk) 09:07, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Stellar cusp
I removed this text:

"even if that were true [that there is no density cusp] for the Milky Way's Galactic Center, realistic models of how stars distribute around massive black holes have shown that regrowth of the cusp would take place in a time shorter than the Hubble time"

In other words: we should believe someone's theoretical models, rather than the observations. The observations do not show a cusp, and it is silly to say that "the cusp must be there because my models predict it"! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.22.214.242 (talk) 15:37, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Merger Proposal (2014) Great Annihilator -> Galactic Center

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

I am proposing that Great Annihilator be merged into Galactic Center, as currently the GA article is one sentence long (and I can't see it getting much larger based on the research I've found). In my opinion it doesn't need a page to itself unless a major discovery happens. Primefac (talk) 16:34, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Suggest a redirect since the term does occur and people are going to come looking for it, but we shouldn't encourage such foolish names. Consider redirecting to Sagittarius A*  Lithopsian (talk) 17:22, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
 * If/when the sentence gets added here, I was going to have GA redirect here. The Great Attractor is not Sagittarius A*, though, so it shouldn't get redir'd there. Primefac (talk) 19:18, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I disagree. A SIMBAD search for the object shows that many different professional studies have been done on it, and it thus meets clause #3 of WP:NASTRO, and should have a standalone article. There's plenty to write about it. StringTheory11 (t • c) 00:40, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
 * i agree with the previous. "great annihilator" is not a nickname for the galactic center but the moniker of a bright, pointlike xray source near the galactic center. it is a separate astronomical object. see http://iopscience.iop.org/0004-637X/520/1/316/pdf/39366.web.pdf Macevoy (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 06:29, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Even so, until the Great Annihilator article produces more information, a separate article with just a single sentence is not justifiable. Until more information is produced, then the article can split on its own independently. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 06:49, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
 * WP:STUB 'a "definition" may be enough to qualify an article as a stub'. The reasons allowing merging or deletion of stubs given there do not apply: the subject is notable, and Google Scholar yields 200 hits, so there appears to enough verifiable information. Paradoctor (talk) 09:06, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Added some sources to the article. If no further arguments come forward, I'll consider this propsal as rejected. Paradoctor (talk) 10:23, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Giant Dark Matter Star
The first paragraph mentions "1 Giant Dark Matter Star with 82 Huge Dark Matter Satellites" with no citations at all. Never even heard of anyone proposing such a weird setup. This sounds like another reference to Star Trek or perhaps Captain Future phantasmagoria. Recommending deletion. There is a T101 in your kitchen (talk) 15:05, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how I missed seeing that addition, but I've reverted until proper refs can be obtained. Thanks for the heads up . Primefac (talk) 15:10, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Galactic Center → Galactic center – Looking at scholarly sources, the usage is split (outside of the titles of papers) between "Galactic Center" and "Galactic center" (see this arxiv search, for example). Since there does not seem to be a consensus that the word "center" is part of the proper name, we should default to WP:NCCAPS and not capitalize subsequent words in the title. --Ahecht (TALK PAGE ) 14:51, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Bringing this title out of uppercase would be changing the topic without changing the text - from the Milky Way's Galactic Center to all galactic centers. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:08, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * It's still "Galactic center", not "galactic center", and a generic article would get placed at something like "galactic centers". I'm just not seeing a strong enough case that reliable sources use the full phrase "Galactic Center" as a proper noun. --Ahecht ([[User talk:Ahecht|TALK
 * This would be per MOS:CELESTIALBODIES, similar to Solar System although the article seems confused if its a point in space or a larger defined area.

Gulp
Hard to know where to start on this. There are abundant sources that deal with the cultural concept of "cleanliness", as any Google Books search with reasonable parameters will indicate. Would there be objections if I gutted this to the intro and the section on Industry? The rest is mostly how-to, and a desire to impose a particular set of criteria for cleanliness, all having to do with hygiene and housekeeping, and not the subject of "cleanliness". The article could benefit immensely from globalizing, and from adding a section on the history of cleanliness, which (I learned this morning looking for sources to improve the intro) is a far more fascinating topic than one might imagine.

Tommy Körberg

Bert Gustav Tommy Körberg (born 4 July 1948) is a Swedish singer, actor and musician. English-speaking audiences know him best for his role as Anatoly/"The Russian" in the musical Chess. He played the role on the 1984 concept album, and on stage in the 1986 world premiere West End production in London, as well as several times since.

Körberg has also played the lead role in many Swedish productions of other musicals.

Career
From 1965 to 1968, Körberg was a singer in the Swedish pop group Tom & Mick & Maniacs, which went through several name changes.
