List of mountains in Nepal

Nepal contains most of the Himalayas, the highest mountain range in the world. Eight of the fourteen eight-thousanders are located in the country, either in whole or shared across a border with China or India. Nepal has the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest at an astonishing height of 8848m as well as 1,310 peaks over 6,000 m height.

Other ranges
North of the Greater Himalayas in western Nepal, ~6,100 metre Tibetan Border Ranges form the Ganges-Brahmaputra divide, which the international border generally follows. South of the Greater Himalayas, Nepal has a High Mountain region of ~4,000 metre summits, then the Middle Hills and Mahabharat Range with 1,500 to 3,000 metre summits. South of the Mahabharats, an outer range of foothills with ~1,000 metre summits is called the Siwaliks or Churiya Hills.

Untitled
This article is a bit lacking in references and some parts seem to be wholesale copying of other pages. As an example, the rika system paragraph seems to be base on this site. We need experts to contribute or at the very least, document and record oral history from elderly Kikuyu. I fear that with the passage of time and lack of oral history, we may be left with bits and pieces. Lmwangi (talk) 12:58, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree that there is a lack of referencing on this page. And one should always bear in mind that Wikipedia articles must not contain original research—GrahamSmith (talk) 15:37, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

This far what I have read from the Wikipedia seems to be a well informed updating. Thumbs up!!! By John Thuku

External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 1 one external link on Kikuyu people. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

 * Added archive https://web.archive.org/20110813010018/http://www.kenyacommunities.org:80/articles&downloads/KENYA.pdf to http://www.kenyacommunities.org/articles&downloads/KENYA.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Cheers.—cyberbot II  Talk to my owner :Online 20:59, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Subsections to be merged in 'Culture'
I think subsections 1.2.2 to 1.2.3.3 should be added to section 3 'Culture' as the definition of culture according to the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition, 'the shared patterns of behaviors and interactions, cognitive constructs, and affective understanding that are learned through a process of socialization.' As the subsections previously stated deal with the social, religious and political behaviour of the Kikuyu, I think they should be added to section 3 'Culture'. I am a newcomer registered Wikipedia editor and so may not be experienced enough to avoid certain mistakes in editing, so please be patient with me. Thanks!

Meaning of the word "Gikuyu" in Gikuyu Language
The word Gikuyu means sycamore fig. The Olive tree word in Gikuyu language is "Mutamaiyu",and the tree is sacred for Gikuyu women. Mwenemucii (talk) 08:20, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Death of Waiyaki wa Hinga
According to the article on Waiyaki wa Hinga, he was not buried alive or even deliberately killed. It would be good if the two articles were reconciled on the basis of authoritative sources.Bill (talk) 02:50, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Social organisations of Kikuyu state
Separate social complexes from political for easier understanding 197.239.5.170 (talk) 15:24, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Darrell Johnson

Darrell Dean Johnson (August 25, 1928 – May 3, 2004) was an American Major League Baseball catcher, coach, manager and scout. As a manager, he led the 1975 Boston Red Sox to the American League pennant, and was named "Manager of the Year" by both The Sporting News and the Associated Press.

Playing career
Johnson was born in Horace, Nebraska, and graduated from Harvard, Nebraska, High School in 1944. He was signed by the St. Louis Browns as an amateur free agent in 1949 and made his Major League debut with the Browns on April 20, 1952. A reserve catcher during his six-year Major League career (–; –), Johnson also played for the Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees, St. Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies, Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore Orioles, who released him on June 12, 1962, ending his playing career. He was listed as 6 ft tall and 180 lb and threw and batted right-handed. In 134 MLB games played, he batted .234 lifetime, with his 75 hits including six doubles, one triple and two home runs.

Johnson's playing career was interrupted by an eleven-month stint as an MLB coach with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1960–1961. After playing in eight games, with three plate appearances, for the Cardinals, he was released as a player on August 5 and added to the coaching staff of manager Solly Hemus, then reappointed for. When the Redbirds fired Hemus on July 6, 1961, Johnson was released along with him. Three days later, he signed a player's contract with the last-place Philadelphia Phillies and caught 21 games for them in five weeks before being sold to the pennant-contending Cincinnati Reds on August 14.

The Reds were then $2 1/2$ games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers, but over the final six weeks of the season they overtook the Dodgers to win the National League championship by four full contests. Johnson appeared in 20 games (including 17 as the club's starting catcher, with the Reds going 8–9). In limited duty, he batted .315 with 17 hits, including his second and last big-league home run, hit off the Dodgers' Johnny Podres on August 16. He appeared in the 1961 World Series against his former team, the Yankees, and had two singles in four at bats (both of them off Baseball Hall of Famer Whitey Ford) as the Reds lost to the slugging Yanks of Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle, four games to one. He started Games 1 and 4, both of them Cincinnati defeats.

The Reds released Johnson only a few days into the 1962 season, and he signed with the Orioles as a backup catcher before retiring as a player in June and serving out the year as Baltimore's bullpen coach.

Overview
He then became a minor league manager in the Orioles system and won championships with the Rochester Red Wings of the Triple-A International League in 1964 and Elmira Pioneers of the Double-A Eastern League in 1966. His demotion was the result of an exchange requested by Red Wings president Morrie Silver, who was disappointed with a losing 1965 campaign and wanted the Pioneers' Earl Weaver, coming off a winning season, to manage his team instead.

After a year spent scouting for the 1967 Yankees, Johnson was named pitching coach of the Boston Red Sox on October 31,, succeeding Sal Maglie who had been released after the World Series. When manager Dick Williams was fired in September, Johnson was retained by the Red Sox as a scout in 1970, then managed Boston's Louisville Colonels International League affiliate in 1971–72. In 1973, he became the first manager of the Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox, finishing 78–68 and winning his second Governors' Cup, emblematic of the International League's playoff championship, in his only PawSox season. That championship earned him a promotion to the parent club as Red Sox manager.

As a big-league manager, Johnson led three different teams over eight seasons. His career began when he succeeded Eddie Kasko following the conclusion of the Red Sox's 1973 campaign on September 30. His biggest success came during his Red Sox posting when he compiled a win–loss record of 220–188 for a .539 winning percentage. He guided Boston to a 95–65 (.594) mark in and a first-place finish in the AL East. The Sox then swept the three-time defending world champion Oakland Athletics in the playoffs, 3–0, to win the American League pennant. But they lost to the Cincinnati "Big Red Machine" in the thrilling 1975 World Series, four games to three. In an interview conducted by Tim Russert on CNBC in 2003, Baseball Hall of Fame catcher Carlton Fisk named Johnson as the biggest influence in his professional life. Johnson also had his detractors, such as Bill Lee, who stated that the team won "despite our manager", who did not communicate well with his players and even had his pitching coach stationed in the Red Sox bullpen rather than the dugout during the 1975 Series.

In, Boston started poorly, losing 15 of its first 21 games, then rallied and finally climbed above the .500 mark on July 6 (38–37). As the incumbent pennant-winning manager, Johnson managed the 1976 American League All-Star team (with his team losing 7–1 at Veterans Stadium on July 13). But by then the Red Sox were mired in another slump, and only five days later on July 19, Johnson was fired in favor of third-base coach Don Zimmer after the team had lost eight of its last 11 games. At the time of his dismissal, Boston was out of contention with a 41–45 record, in fifth place and 13 games behind the Yankees. Johnson then briefly returned to scouting for the Red Sox.

Johnson was hired to become the first-ever manager of the expansion Seattle Mariners on September 3, 1976. Lou Gorman, Seattle's director of baseball operations, stated that Johnson would also assist in scouting players for the upcoming expansion draft. Johnson said that he was looking for players with "pride, aggressiveness, and the right mental attitude." Johnson manager the Mariners for approximately three and a half seasons until he was fired on August 3,, and posted an overall win–loss mark of 226–362 (.384).

Johnson then worked as third-base coach for the Texas Rangers, under Zimmer, starting in before taking over as interim manager on July 30, 1982. Six years earlier, the roles had been reversed when third-base coach Zimmer succeeded Johnson as manager in Boston on July 18, 1976. In his final managerial role, Johnson's Rangers went 26–40 (.394) in the season's final two months. He finished with a 472–590 record for a .444 career percentage as a Major League manager.

He then moved to the New York Mets as minor league coordinator of instruction and a longtime scout. He also served as the Mets' bench coach on the staff of Dallas Green from May 20, 1993, through the end of that season.

Johnson died from leukemia at the age of 75 in 2004 in Fairfield, California.

Magyar Televízió

Magyar Televízió (Hungarian Television) or MTV is a nationwide public television broadcasting organization in Hungary. Headquartered in Budapest, it is the oldest television broadcaster in Hungary and today airs five channels: M1 HD, M2 HD, M3, M4 Sport and M5.

MTV is managed and primarily funded by the Media Service Support and Asset Management Fund (Médiaszolgáltatás-támogató és Vagyonkezelő Alap, abbreviated MTVA). This government organization, formed in 2011, also manages the public service broadcasters Magyar Rádió and Duna Televízió as well as the Hungarian news agency Magyar Távirati Iroda.

On 1 July 2015, Magyar Televízió as well as the three other public media organizations managed by the MTVA were merged into a single organization called Duna Médiaszolgáltató. This organization is the legal successor to Magyar Televízió and is an active member of the European Broadcasting Union.

Early years (1954–1969)
First pioneer transmissions were in Hotel Gellért in 1936. Test transmissions commenced in 1954, however these were generally with stills or short clips of motion pictures, merely for experimental purposes. Regular test transmissions could be received from 23 February 1957. Transmissions began officially on 1 May 1957, when the May Day ceremonies were brought to the viewers for the first time. Daily news programmes began on 2 July 1957. The television service began its career as part of Hungarian Radio, which was renamed "Hungarian Radio and Television" on August 18, 1957. MTV suggested the establishment of an international organisation for exchanging television material, which was to be named Intervision. The first four members of the organisation were Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary and Poland.

By 1959, Hungarian Television had over 50,000 subscribers. In 1960, the Corporation decided to establish an archive, where its programmes are stored even today. In less than ten years of operation, MTV had some 2.7 million viewers by 1964. Studies showed that there were about 3-5 viewers per television set. Another study revealed that by 1965, 46% of the inhabitants of rural areas named television as their choice of entertainment, instead of reading (25%) or radio (10%).

Theatrical transmissions were popular at this time: in 1966 23 plays were broadcast from Budapest, 20 from other cities. Also, 25 television movies and five musicals were transmitted this year.

1969 brought the one millionth subscriber, which meant about 4 million viewers. The first colour recording was made this year: it was Béla Bartók's The Miraculous Mandarin. Although the Orion company presented its first colour television set, transmissions continued to be in black-and-white until 1971.

The 1970s
1971 brought the first regular transmission in colour, and the test transmissions of a second channel were begun as well. This decade was probably the most proliferous in the history of the whole company, with thousands of hours of programming made. Mazsola és Tádé, a Hungarian puppet animated children TV series was produced between 1969 and 1973.

The 1980s
Annual programming time reached 4.300 hours, equalling to 83 hours a week. Teletext services commenced in 1981, called Képújság (Picture Newspaper), and television manufacturers started including teletext decoders in their sets. Long-running programmes were started in this decade, including Ablak (Window) and Panoráma (a foreign affairs programme). Regional programming began in 1984 in Pécs, and cable television began in Székesfehérvár the same year. RTV, a programme guide similar to BBC's Radio Times was bought by 1.4 million viewers weekly. MTV's gradual decline began in 1985, this was the final year when MTV was self-sufficient.

The first broadcast of a telenovela on Hungarian television happened in the mid-1980s with the premier of the Brazilian Escrava Isaura (Hungarian title: Rabszolgasors - "Slave Destiny" in English). The first Hungarian soap opera Szomszédok (Hungarian for "Neighbours") also started its 12-year-run on 7 May 1987 and was broadcast every second Thursday.

By the late 1980s, experimental digital television recordings were made, but at the time only in studios. From 1988 seniors of 70 years were exempted from payment of the licence fee. Minority programmes in other languages began too: these programmes were recorded generally in regional studios, primarily in Pécs and Szeged. MTV2 was given some independence from its sister channel MTV1, and just like at the BBC, they were given separate controllers.

By 1989 the service began broadcasting five days per week to prepare the seven days, as previously Monday only. Some exceptions were made from this practice, for example when the first Hungarian cosmonaut, Bertalan Farkas entered space. Nap-kelte (Daybreak), a daily television magazine programme began in 1989, the first programme to be made by an independent Hungarian television company, namely Nap-TV.

The 1990s
With the changeover from socialism, MTV was completely re-structured, some posts were abolished while others were created. Some programmes were axed from both channels, and new ones were started. This decade was a very hectic time in the life of the company, as TV-presidents seemed to come and go, and so did the programmes.

MTV was admitted as a full active member of the European Broadcasting Union on January 1, 1993, upon the merger of OIRT and EBU. In 1992, a new public service television station was started, and was named Duna Televízió. This was completely independent from MTV, although some collaboration exists between the two. Commercial channels became available to cable viewers in Budapest the same year.

In 1997, TV2, a commercial channel was to be launched on the frequency where M2 used to be. However, MTV argued that by doing this, its audience would be given to the new channel as a present, which would mean severe disadvantage to both MTV and RTL Klub, the other debuting commercial channel. The authorities decided to leave the frequency empty, and allocate a new frequency to TV2. m2, however, was still moved to satellite and cable reception only, which, at the time was quite rare. The programming available on MTV2 was aimed at audiences which were most unlikely to receive the channel, so this meant a severe handicap for the company. Currently the company is recuperating from the decline earlier.

During the 1990s the MTV gradually lost its independence and became the voice of the all-time government, often accused of biased on commenting news. It is one of the most popular sources of news, and its background news programmes such as Az Este (The Evening) are both liked and internationally recognised. Its line-up of programmes feature long-running shows, such as the science news programme Delta, whilst other programmes like A Hét (The Week), a weekly review programme and Ablak (Window), an afternoon-long umbrella programme featuring general interest programmes, were both axed in recent years.

The 2000s
MTV is continuously underfinanced, just like many other public service channels around the globe, and is therefore struggling to produce programmes.

Whilst remaining entirely state-owned, the company was re-organised as a Closely Held Corporation. Funding changed significantly in 2002 with the end of the mandatory television license fee levied on all household with a television set. Following this change, funding for MTV instead began to come from government grants and advertising.

The 2006 protests didn't leave the headquarters unscathed; in fact, it was occupied by the rioters for a short time.

In 2000, M2 began broadcasting 24 hours a day, with repeats from its sister channel, m1 and from its archive library and from the Hungarian National Digital Archive and Film Institute (Magyar Nemzeti Digitális Archívum és Filmintézet).

Present-day
In 2011, most of the assets and employees of MTV were transferred to the newly created Media Service Support and Asset Management Fund (Médiaszolgáltatás-támogató és Vagyonkezelő Alap, abbreviated MTVA), a government organization controlled by the Media Council of Hungary. Magyar Rádió and Duna Televízió were also made a part of the MTVA, which, together with MTV, unified all three public service broadcasters in Hungary for the first time. Additionally, the Hungarian news agency Magyar Távirati Iroda was merged into the MTVA and has since been responsible for the production of all news content aired on the three broadcasting organizations.

In 2015, the unification of all the public media organizations managed by the MTVA was strengthened when all four were merged into a single organization called Duna Media Service (Duna Médiaszolgáltató). This nonprofit organization is the legal successor to the four formerly separate entities managed by the MTVA.

The creation of the MTVA and transfer of the public media organizations into it has been frequently criticised by non-governmental organizations as being politically motivated and intended to the lessen the independence of the public service media in Hungary. The government has stated that restructuring was necessary to improve the finances of the public media system and that all of the organizations within the MTVA retain editorial independence.

In 2012, MTV launched M3D, first 3D television in Hungary.

MTV trademark suit
Magyar Televízió, who has a trademark on the initials MTV registered with the Hungarian copyright office, sued the American MTV Music Television network for trademark infringement when MTV Music Television launched a Hungarian-language channel in 2007. The suit is still ongoing.

Notable shows

 * On the Spot, documentary film series

Location
The Hungarian Television's central building was located in the heart of Budapest on Szabadság tér (Freedom Square), across the Hungarian National Bank (Magyar Nemzeti Bank), the U.S. Embassy, and near to the Parliament. The building gave room to the Stock Exchange before the war. It is sold now and MTV has moved to the outskirts of Budapest to a purpose-built modern building. The old headquarters can be reached by a five minutes walk from Kossuth tér where Metro line 2 stops.

Talk:I'll Never Forget What's'isname

Sorting
"What's New, Pussycat" preceded "I'll Never Forget What's 'Isname" in using the word "fuck"

Title of the film
At 1 minute in, the title that appears onscreen is I'll Never Forget What's'isname. This is not shown within the body of the article itself currently, and the titles that are within the article text differ only in capitalization, which I would consider a stylistic difference, and not an actual different title.

I propose this as the start of the first sentence to this article:

 * I'll Never Forget What's'isname (also known as I'll Never Forget What's 'Isname) is...

and the additional parenthetical details about where the versions have been seen can be added in the note.

Antaresia

Antaresia is a genus of pythons, nonvenomous snakes in the family Pythonidae. The genus is native to Australasia. The genus is known by the common name Children's pythons, the name of the type species, Antaresia childreni. Gray named A. childreni in honour of his mentor, John George Children, who was a curator of the zoological collection at the British Museum around that time. It contains the smallest members of the Pythonidae. Four species and two subspecies are recognized, although they were all considered part of the same species until recently. A newly described form called the pygmy banded python may be a distinct species, but analysis has not yet been performed on this animal. The largest recorded examples of Antaresia species have all been males, suggesting males of the known species in this genus may compete for females. This behavior has never been witnessed in the wild, and has only been witnessed in captive specimens.

Geographic range
Species in the genus Antaresia are found in Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea, in arid and tropical regions.

Species
T ) Type species.
 * ) Not including the nominate subspecies.

Taxonomy
The generic name, Antaresia, is taken from the star Antares in the constellation Scorpius. The generic name was created in 1984 by Wells and Wellington in a revision of Children's pythons, those previously described as a single species in the genus Liasis. Despite a petition to suppress the taxonomic work of these authors, it gained wide acceptance and publication in 1991.

Four species and two subspecies are currently recognized in the genus Antaresia, which is contained by the family Pythonidae; infraspecific ranks have also been described.

A subspecies, A. stimsoni orientalis was described by L.A. Smith (1985), but was not recognized as valid by Barker & Barker (1994). It is now recognized as valid by ITIS, as well as A. stimsoni stimsoni.

.

In captivity
The members of the genus Antaresia are often kept as pets due to their small size, docile temperaments, strong feeding responses, resiliency and easy captive care. They are often seen as a good beginner species for keeping reptiles, particularly snakes. While not as popular or diverse in colors as ball pythons, these snakes can range in color from albino and leucistic to ebony, melanistic, and piebald color morphs to name a few. The varying coloration between individuals also makes them quite attractive to many who work with and breed exotic reptiles. In captivity, the members of this genus are very tolerant of differing humidity levels ranging from 20%-80% due to the wide range of habitats they occur in, and shedding problems that occur in captive animals are usually the result of temperatures being too high or low rather than problems with humidity. Antaresia species are also fairly easy to breed, though some individuals (mostly males) may refuse to eat when they are interested in mating.

Aspidites

Aspidites is a genus of pythons endemic to Australia. The name can be translated as "shield bearer" and pertains to the symmetrically shaped head scales. Currently, two species are recognized.

Description
These snakes lack the heat-sensitive pits between the labial scales that most other python species have.

The head is slightly wider than the neck, and the eyes are small, with a vertically elliptic pupils.

Distribution and habitat
They are found in Australia except in the south of the country.

Behavior
Both species are nocturnal, and terrestrial.

Reproduction
Oviparous, the females stay with their eggs until they hatch.

Species
T ) Type species.

Taxonomy
Two new subspecies, A. ramsayi panoptes, the western woma python, and A. r. richardjonesii, the desert woma python, were described by Hoser (2001). However, these descriptions are questionable, as they do not include proper diagnoses and seem to be based only on distribution.

Leiopython

Leiopython is a genus of snakes in the family Pythonidae.

Species
The genus Leiopython contains the following species:
 * L. albertisii (W. Peters & Doria, 1878) – D'Albertis' python, northern white-lipped python
 * L. fredparkeri Schleip, 2014 – Karimui Basin white-lipped python, southern white-lipped python
 * L. biakensis Schleip, 2008 – Biak white-lipped python

Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Leiopython.

Description
Female adults of the northern white-lipped python (L. albertisii) grow to an average of about 213 cm (6–7 ft) in total length (including tail), whereas the southern white-lipped python (L. fredparkeri) can reach up to 300 cm in total length. Both species are patternless, except the northern white-lipped python has some light markings on its postoculars, which are absent in the southern whitelip python.

Behavior
Although mostly terrestrial, snakes of the genus Leiopython can and are known to occasionally climb. White-lipped pythons are reportedly aggressive, though this is reduced in those born and raised in captivity. These snakes have also been observed to regularly regurgitate fur balls from their prey.

User talk:Deleting Unnecessary Words

I'm curious as to the reasons for your dislike of the word presently; glancing at your User Contributions page, I can see that you've removed it from a variety of articles. It seems to me that the word can often be quite useful, not "Unnecessary" at all. When comparing a situation in the past to one in the present day, such as "Its first building was Moreton Lodge, located where Johnston Hall presently stands" (taken from University of Guelph), it is often necessary to say "presently" to emphasize the distinction -- Johnston hall stands there now, but didn't in those days. Please understand that I'm not criticizing your edits; I'm just curious about the reasons behind them. -Etaoin 22:46, 9 May 2004 (UTC)

 * My objection exists on several levels: (1) The verb tense in the sentence will indicate if something is in the past, present, or future, making "presently" redundant. (2) The word presently has traditionally meant "soon," though common usage has meant that dictionaries often also define it as "now." I would argue that the simple way to avoid this ambiguity is to use "soon" or "now" instead of "presently," which is also the advice given by several style guides.  (3) "Presently" has a pompous tone.  That said, I agree that sometimes, as in the example you give above, one needs to emphasize the present tense.  What I should have done in University of Guelph article is change "presently" to "now."  Deleting Unnecessary Words 02:35, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

 * The objection to the word "presently" is usually that the word ought to mean "in a moment" or "before long" rather than "at present"; the OED includes a usage note that objects to presently as a synonym for "now". More recent dictionaries seem to recognize that the word as actually used can have either meaning. - Nunh-huh 23:40, 9 May 2004 (UTC)

 * I am often 'guilty' of using "presently" in the sense of "now". It seems that substituting "now" for "presently" accomplishes the purpose and skirts the objections as well. I found the following interesting commentary on "presently" at www.dictionary.com. - Rlvaughn 17:35, 10 May 2004 (UTC)
 * "Usage Note: An original meaning of presently was 'at the present time; currently.' That sense is said to have disappeared from the literary language in the 17th century, but it has survived in popular usage and is widely found nowadays in literate speech and writing. Still, there is a lingering prejudice against this use. The sentence General Walters is... presently the United States Ambassador to the United Nations was acceptable to only 50 percent of the Usage Panel in the late 1980s."

Canadian Politics
I appreciate your interest in the page, as its large enough that i will need help with edits. Most of my serious reading and my university papers went through at least one scan by an outside person, often two. For suggestions and because I don't pick up spelling quirks all that well. Sometimes i will write the material offline and past but that has its own difficulties. I have problems picking up spelling quirks in my own writing when printed out sometimes (i tend to just "get" a word if its familiar, in all likelyhood its spelled in a manner that makes sense to me....hence why i had people read over my drafts when i was in university). So if you want to nit pick on the spelling it actually could be helpful.

Its too late for me to change the sentence in question today. I'll try working on it tomorrow before the evening so that it will hopefully be clearer. If you don't have the page on your watchlist you might want to add it...i'd appreciate help in trying to get the information across better. Frankly if your type of comment is the type i will get after doing a large increase and some corrections on the page i will be quite happy ;-). Some of the pages i've worked on including abortion in Canada were ruthless edited. Those were my first efforts though and my style seems to be starting to match Wiki style beter. However a lot of the content was kept, or when i realized i wasn't quite sure how to word some material i put it up on the discussion part of the page and someone would word it correctly.

One question. Wiki says the article is getting to long. If you could look at the talk page for the article i mentioned this and i'm asking for suggestions on how to deal with this (ie what might be a way of hiving off some of the information. I only added material i think is important but there be some other organization method that might work better and i'm looking for suggestions. The only idea i have had so far is to possibly try to create a page on the history and dynamics of minority governments but then i'm not sure how much to leave in. Since we are in a minority government i'd like to be able to make what i know about them accessible (more completely explained on the discusion page for the topict believe)--Marcie 03:18, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC).

Canadian nationalism/Trudeau
1. I took Trudeau out of Canadian nationalism – you're entirely correct about him. I have also commented about some other issues you raised there.

2. I think our dispute at Talk:Pierre Trudeau is due to the standard lack of communication. Basically, I want to get moving on a solution to this dispute over the Charter, so I didn't like that aspect being ignored. Your priorities, as is your right, different. Anyway, I'll clarify here that: a) strictly speaking you're right, b) I wasn't aware that you were going to be a stickler about the meaning of demonize, but I'll withdraw my statement that you were engaging in demonization (and I'll say no more on that topic because both our noses would probably end up out of joint again), although I still think the productive approach is to c) work together on clarifying the dispute over the Charter. As we seem to be largely of like minds (especially about presently) although of different opinions, that could be productive. Of course, you may do as you please.

Oh – I also detest being told to "think about it," and it shouldn't be hard to figure out why. That's where the last outburst came from. In short, you're not the only one who feels offended here (and that's not the only thing I found offensive). John FitzGerald 00:55, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I think it best if we drop the issue; clearly we are not going to be able to resolve this dispute, which, in any case, is not central to the Trudeau entry. I understand why you found my "think about it" comment to be offensive.  I can see that it could be construed as condescending, particularly when taken out of its context.  In any case, I will leave it to others to judge the appropriateness of my comments (and yours) in this matter.  Those who are interested can find the exchange at Talk:Pierre Trudeau under the subheading "Charter of Rights and Freedoms."  Deleting Unnecessary Words 18:01, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Good idea, especially as we both responded honestly, and it's no sin to get heated about civil rights. As Desmond Morton (I believe) has said, the reason you don't discuss politics at the barber shop is that there are razors lying around.

I think I had jumbled the Speech from the Throne with speculation that the Tories would respond to a defeat in the Legislature by naming Grossman party leader and seeing if he could put together a government more acceptable to the NDP. It's a good thing they saw the writing on the wall and didn't try any more acts of desperation. regards, Kevintoronto 21:47, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Election results 2004
Greetings! I noticed on Talk:Canadian federal election, 2004 you posted a query regarding the final results of the election. I too have been on a quest for this information, and I have found the following: 1) The results on Elections Canada's website are the preliminary results from election night and will not be updated; 2) Validated results for 2004 are available in the "Past Elections" section of their site, but these are not "official"; 3) the official results have not been released yet, according to the report of October 28. It states they will be released "soon". Hope this helps!  Christopher^ 03:44, 2004 Dec 9 (UTC)

Edits at Mark Bourrie and allegations of ban evasion
I see you've been reverting edits at Mark Bourrie,and your edit summaries have included allegations that the user you're reverting is banned. Can you provide some evidence regarding that user's ban, so I can evaluate the situation? On the surface, your reverts introduce some spelling errors, which leave the article worse off, but that's not the entire picture of the edits. —C.Fred (talk) 01:25, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

The context is this: The Mark Bourrie page has been the subject of recurring efforts to sanitize it by a user who has since been banned. This user has used numerous sockpuppets and IP addresses (Spoonkymonkey, Centaurus, Arthur Ellis, 174.115.164.109, Jacquestheripper, 71.19.184.107, inter alia) over a period of many years. Oneofff is clearly another of these sockpuppets (even the name suggests it's a single-purpose account). The account was created on 10 December 2023. As soon as the account had been established long enough to edit the Mark Bourrie page (which is semi-protected), the account began doing so. Like the banned user, Oneofff accuses others of being sockpuppets. Like the banned user, Oneofff is fixated on the same topics: Canadian history and journalism. Like the banned user, Oneofff knows an incredible amount about Mark Bourrie and is steadfastly determined to clear his name. Like the banned user, Oneofff wants to remove the quotation from Christopher Waddell. (It was removed at least three times before, each time by a sock of Arthur Ellis: by 174.115.164.109 on 31 March 2019, by Jacquestheripper on 2 April 2019, and by 71.19.184.107 on 2 October 2019.) We don't need a check-user here. Oneofff is quacking very loudly. Some of Oneofff's edits are legitimate--as you point out, Oneofff has corrected some spelling errors--and I am happy to fix these problems once Oneofff stops editing the page.

Town council

A town council, city council or municipal council is a form of local government for small municipalities. Usage of the term varies under different jurisdictions.

Republic of Ireland
In 2002, 49 urban district councils and 26 town commissioners were redesignated as 75 town councils as a tier of local government below the county council. Five additional local authorities retained the higher status as borough councils. All 80 second-tier municipal authorities were abolished under the Local Government Reform Act 2014, with effect at the 2014 Irish local elections.

Belize
There are currently seven town councils in Belize. Each town council consists of a mayor and a number of councillors, who are directly elected in municipal elections every three years. Town councils in Belize are responsible for a range of functions, including street maintenance and lighting, drainage, refuse collection, public cemeteries, infrastructure, parks and playgrounds.

England and Wales
In England, since the Local Government Act 1972, "town council" is the specific name for a civil parish council which has declared itself by resolution to be a town council. If another type of local council, such as a district authority, covers a single town (such as Luton or Stevenage) then the council is often a 'borough council': borough status is however conferred at the discretion of the Crown.

Civil parishes are the most local level in the local government system. The higher levels are district, unitary and county. However town councils are not subordinate in democratic accountability to those higher levels, but to the electorate of their civil parish area.

The chair of a town council is entitled to be styled as "town mayor". This term contrasts with simply "mayor", which means the mayor of a borough or a city. However, this is often abbreviated simply to mayor, especially where the town was historically a borough or city, such as Lewes or Ely. In Scotland, the term 'provost' is commonly used to designate the leader of the town council.

Historically the term 'town council' was used for the governing body of a municipal borough until the 1972 Act.

In Wales, where the lowest tier of local government is known as a community, the Community Council may unilaterally declare itself to be a Town Council, but this has the same status as a Community Council.

Ontario
Township councils in Ontario play a similar role as city councils in cities for smaller or low tier municipalities. Directly elected every four years, the number of councillors vary depending on the size of their municipalities. The councillors powers and responsibilities are governed by the Municipal Act.

Manitoba
Manitoba town council members serve primarily as a policy and direction board for the community. They consist of five to seven members with the head of council being the mayor or reeve.

Indiana
Indiana town council members serve as both the executive and legislative branches for small communities incorporated as towns within the state. They consist of three or five members, depending upon the town's population.

Unlike some states, Indiana councilmembers must declare a political party affiliation, if any, when they file to run for office. Upon election in November, they are sworn in before 1 January of the following year, where they serve a four-year term. There are no state term limits affecting how many times a candidate may run for re-election to office.

The first meeting after an election, members of the town council hold an organising meeting, where they elect a president to set future agendas and act as an official spokesman for the town or as liaison between the town and state and county government.

Indiana town councils work in conjunction with an elected town clerk, who manages the day-to-day business of the municipal government. As an elected official, the town clerk is solely executive in function and operates independently of the town council. But the council has final say on budgets which clerks depend upon to operate.

In addition to a clerk, the council can authorise the hiring of other staff to run the operations of government, including law enforcement officers, utility workers, park and recreation employees and town managers. These employees serve at the pleasure of the council.

Massachusetts
Town councils in Massachusetts are essentially city councils in towns which have adopted a city form of government but prefer to retain the "town of" in their names. In several communities which have adopted such a government, the official name of the community is "The City known as the Town of..." The legislative body of a legal town in Massachusetts is a town meeting; the executive board is a board of selectmen. In addition to having the structure of a city with a mayor and council, cities in Massachusetts can enact ordinances, while towns may adopt by-laws, which are subject to the approval of the Attorney General. City ordinances are presumed to be legal unless challenged and set aside in court. See Massachusetts Government.

Michigan
In Michigan, there are 257 incorporated villages that are governed by village councils, which is a form of weak–mayor administration. Michigan does not use "town" as a defined municipality, and villages are the lowest-level form of incorporated municipality. Villages are distinct from cities in that they share certain duties with their surrounding township and are not completely autonomous. Guidelines for village governments are defined in the General Law Village Act (Act 3) of 1895. Village councils consist of elected officials, including a village president, trustees, clerk, and treasurer.

New Hampshire
In New Hampshire, the Town Council is an elected body which serves as the legislative and executive body of the town. The town is governed by a charter, which is allowed under the home rule provision of the New Hampshire Constitution (Pt I, Art. 39) and Title III of the New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated. The charter for a Town Council must meet the following requirements of RSA 49-D:3 I. (a) – (e) and all other applicable laws. The basic notion of home rule in New Hampshire is that local communities are not allowed to supersede the authority specifically granted to them by the state.

Official Ballot Town Council
The Official Ballot Town Council is a variant form of the Town Council. In the Official Ballot form of government, the town council is vested with the limited authority to vote on all matters not voted on by official ballot. The authority and restrictions on the Official Ballot town council is the same as the Town Council, except with respect to those matters specified to be voted on by official ballot. Also, the council decides what is placed on the ballot, not the registered voters.

The charter of the Official Ballot Town Council is required by law to specify specifically:
 * Which budgetary items to be included on the official ballot; and
 * A finalisation process for the annual budget; and
 * Process for public hearings, debate, discussion and amendment of questions to be placed on the official ballot; and
 * Procedures for the transfer of funds among various departments, funds, accounts and agencies as may be necessary during the year; and
 * Applicability of the official ballot procedure to special elections

The charter also must specify whether a $2/3$ or $3/5$ majority vote is required to approve bonds or notes, with the default being $2/3$.

Palestinian Authority
The Palestinian National Authority established village councils to serve as local administrations and service providers for Palestinian villages and small towns. Village councils are also referred to as D-level municipalities.

Singapore
In Singapore, town councils are in charge of maintaining the common areas of Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats and estates, such as the common corridors, void decks, lifts, water tanks, external lighting and the open spaces surrounding the estates. They are regulated under the.

The rationale was to delegate the duties of estate management to the members of parliament in addition to their existing responsibilities. They would also gain management experience and be accountable to their district's resident voters.

Town councils boundaries are drawn based on electoral districts boundaries. A town council area can consist of a Group Representation Constituency (GRC), a Single Member Constituency (SMC), or a collection of neighbouring GRCs and SMCs controlled by the same political party. The Members of Parliament head the town councils of their constituencies. Town councils boundaries do not correspond to new town boundaries; different parts of the same HDB town may be managed by different town councils.

Erling Persson

Erling Persson (21 January 1917 – 28 October 2002) was the founder of H&M (Hennes & Mauritz). He got the idea following a post-World War II trip to the United States: He was impressed by the country's efficient, high-volume stores.

He established the company in Västerås, Sweden, in 1947 selling women's clothing, calling it Hennes, Swedish for "hers." In 1968, Persson acquired the premises and inventory of a Stockholm hunting equipment store named Mauritz Widforss. In 1982, his son, Stefan Persson took over as the managing director, and today is the chairman of the board. The Persson family owns about 47% of the company and has a 74% voting rights.
