hbo/catoon network
according to the hbo asia website there is no dedicated beam for pakistan, according to the website pakistan is covered by the hbo south asia beam of which ary digital is the authorized distributor for hbo in the territory of pakistan.

cartoon network had launched a pakistan specific beam which didnt yield out results as they had expected which led the channel to relay the cartoon network hq beam. http://europe.turnerinfo.com/CN/PAN/schedules/index.jsp <--- check out the schedule and match what you see on tv and then give me a buzz. dopekhor

You can check similar images with fairuse tags to see how people are using it. Thanks --Stonewash 10:55, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Pakistan Military UN Missions
Good job on the Military of Pakistan - United Nations Peacekeeping missions.

Although a list is good, if you can get some text and make it an article instead of a list article. It would be better. Like explaining the history of Pakistan in UN, the number of personnel in UN, why Pakistan send its troops there, what kind of specialties that Pakistani troops offered which no other country did, how did the people in those countries receive Pakistani troops, etc.

Get the proper information and I will help you fix it up. Also, go to other peace keeping missions by other countries and see if this is the standard article name for such operations. Mercenary2k 00:21, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Do this. Message, this person

He is the head wikipedian in regards to military matters. Ask him about comments and suggestions for the Pakistani UN Page you created and the appropriate title for it. Mercenary2k 00:59, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: New article
Well, I'm generally not in favor of using unnecessary punctuation in article titles (it makes them rather messy to link to), so I'd suggest trying to get rid of the dash, at least. I would suggest either one of: or, alternately, if we can trim the UN part, the simpler: Hope that helps! Kirill Lokshin 01:51, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * UN peacekeeping missions involving the military of Pakistan
 * UN peacekeeping missions involving Pakistan
 * Peacekeeping operations involving the military of Pakistan
 * Peacekeeping operations involving Pakistan

Great Job
Great Job on the Pakistani UN Article.

What you could do in the Military of Pakistan page is create a separate section which gives a brief summary of Pakistani UN Missions and give the link to this article. Also, move the Table at the bottom and move the text to the start of this article.

You should also give a brief summary in the start of the article about the histroy of Pakistani UN missions and its current status.

But other than that, a great job. Mercenary2k 05:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

title for article
I suggest you go with this.

Fair use rationale for Image:103 JPG.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:103 JPG.jpg. The image description 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.

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 fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Great Power
That article it self is totally baseless and irrelevant.

It is not including major global powers such as the Roman Empire, Spanish and Portuguese Empires, the Dutch, Chinese, Byzantine, Persian, etc.

I made changes to the Indian section.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors.

yeah, u're right
I'm sorry I didn't read up on that, probably the lack of time these days on my part, meant I assumed it was just a drive by POV tagging as is occuring in many WP articles. Personally I feel that DLinth is pushing the envelope by saying that India controls 100% of the Glacier; I hope you guys can resolve the issue soon. Thanks. --Idleguy 01:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Jf-17-Tarmac.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jf-17-Tarmac.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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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 22:25, 10 May 2007 (UTC).

Orphaned non-free image (Image:103 JPG.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:103 JPG.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 20:34, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Pakistan military template
Hi Faraz! I would like to draw your attention to the infobox in all Pakistan military articles. Currently it does not have a flag, as the Pak mil flag uploaded by someone has been deleted. I don't know how to edit this infobox, as there seems to be no link and all i see is or something like that. Can you please tell me how this can be fixed? I can upload the Pak mil flag under the proper rationales. Zaindy87 08:36, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:F7pg-5.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:F7pg-5.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 13:52, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Mirage5sea PAF.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mirage5sea PAF.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 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.

WikiProject Pakistan
WikiProject Pakistan Newsletter Shi'a-Sunni sectarianism! What next? Wikipedia has always had its fair share of disputes. The issues surrounding debates like creationism-evolutionism had been a source of many edit wars. But recently enough, the ball-of-chaos had landed in our very own court. Pakistani issues are now polluted with a new sectarianism, especially the biographical articles celebrating some of the most influential people in Pakistani politics. These edit wars annoyed administrators who had no idea how the problems should be dealt with. Instances of religious inclination (either Shi'a Islam or Sunni Islam) were changed from one or the other. Debates have kicked off on the WP Pakistan talk page. Recently enough, a new policy has come into discussion (actually, it's just a set of rules) that defines major guidlines for such issues. It now awaits votes from all Pakistani editors. In other news: Akhtar Hameed Khan has finally reached the FA status and Islescape is the happiest person on Earth.

Fair use rationale for Image:Al-zarrar.jpg

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.

Pakistani date formats
Hello Faraz,

I'm trying to update Calendar date. When Pakistanis write dates with numerals only, is it true that both the year first (2008-11-16) and day first (16-11-2008) formats are used? Does it make any difference if you're writing in Urdu, English, or state languages? Is the US month-first system ever used?

Use of unrelaible sources
Hello, I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sukhoi Su-30, but you didn't provide a valid reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial. Please cite to reliable media article and not forum pages per WP:Reliable sources. Regards, -Fnlayson (talk) 22:23, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
 * My source is IndiaToday TV Channel how is that not realiable? Faraz (talk) 22:28, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
 * OK, but the other source was still a link to a discussion forum page. -Fnlayson (talk) 22:51, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Misrepresentation of sources
Stop misrepresenting what sources say - none of the sources you are using say that Pakistan has claimed that a Su-30 has been shot down or that the pilot has been killed - the claim that a Su-30 has been shot down is attributed to a tweet by a news editor - a tweet by one news editor does not represent the government of Pakistan, or the PAF making the claim and is merely media speculation.Nigel Ish (talk) 20:43, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Also stop edit warring and use talk page instead.  M L talk 13:45, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

March 2019
Your recent editing history at Sukhoi Su-30  shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Mayfield lived in Aloha, & his legal offices were in West Slope, where he was arrested -- both are suburbs of Portland, so the confusion is inevitable. Currently he is incarcerated in Portland, so I guess his Portland connection is correct on that point. ;-) llywrch 21:34, 8 May 2004 (UTC)

What happened to lawsuits filed by Mayfield? and did Mayfield receive any compensation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cattyman (talk • contribs)
 * None of Mayfield's suits against the government have reached a conclusion yet. It is extremely unlikely that he will receive any monetary compensation. -- Anomicene 17:33, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Arrest and Detention
This section has a few subjective comments. At one point it refers to him by his first name, and at another it claims that he was prosecuted "most likely simply because he is Muslim" without attribution. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the entire article was taken from an alternative newsweekly rather than written from scratch. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.101.85.39 (talk) 23:58, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, to me this sounds like someone arguing a case more than an encyclopedic article. Though perhaps factual, perhaps this article would read a little more legitimately if it was written objectively. 99.252.166.181 13:40, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. Much of the article appears opinionated and seems to be arguing a particular position. It needs to be more neutral and requires some editing. I put a warning to that effect on the article.ZookieByTheSea (talk) 23:26, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, so let's fix it.
Here's another article that might make a good source: http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_071305_news_mayfield_fbi.a2ccad5b.html -Pete (talk) 00:52, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

How did the gov't come to have Brandon Mayfield's fingerprints anyways?
Was it Mayfield's military service that resulted in the gov't having his fingerprints on file?

In general, how would the average US citizen's fingerprint be obtained by the gov't - assuming no previous criminal record or involvement with police? Do certain professions (like lawyers, or others) have to submit fingerprints to the gov't? Do you have to submit fingerprints in some states to get certain licenses? Say, drivers license, or permit to own/carry a gun? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.12.202.245 (talk) 13:45, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

 * In Oregon all lawyers are fingerprinted in order to be admitted to the State Bar, although pesky things like felony convictions (Mayfield didn’t have any as far as I know) don’t hinder such licenses. 2603:9001:4200:F110:D539:7BEB:1B36:BB0B (talk) 13:30, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

According to an MSNBC article, Mayfield's fingerprint was obtained as the result of a burglary arrest when he was a teenager (although it's a good point that they also likely had it as the result of his military service). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.39.129 (talk) 22:47, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Cropmark

Cropmarks or crop marks are a means through which sub-surface archaeological, natural and recent features may be visible from the air or a vantage point on higher ground or a temporary platform. Such marks, along with parch marks, soil marks and frost marks, can reveal buried archaeological sites that are not visible from the ground.

Description

Crop marks are due to the principle of differential growth. One of the factors controlling the growth of vegetation is the condition of the soil. A buried stone wall, for example, will affect crop growth above it, as its presence channels water away from its area and occupies the space of the more fertile soil. Conversely, a buried ditch, with a fill containing more organic matter than the natural earth, provides much more conducive conditions and water will naturally collect there, nourishing the plants growing above.

The differences in conditions will cause some plants to grow more strongly and therefore taller, and others less strongly and therefore shorter. Some species will also react through differential ripening of their fruits or their overall colour.

Particularly effective crops that exhibit differential growth include cereal crops, peas, and potatoes.

Differential growth will naturally follow any features buried below. Although the growth differences may appear small close up, from the air the pattern they make is more visible, as the small changes can be seen as marked differences in tone or colour in the context of the normally growing surrounding vegetation. When the sun is low to the horizon, shadows cast by the taller crops can also become visible.

By their nature crop marks are visible only seasonally and may not be visible at all except in exceptionally wet or dry years. Droughts can be especially useful to cropmark hunters, as the differential growth can become apparent in normally hardy species such as grass. The drought of 2010 produced particularly good conditions for observing crop marks in the UK. Pre-parching stress in crops and grass, and others factors that may affect plant health, can be captured in near infra-red photography.

An alternative approach is thermal imaging, where differential water loss (which is dependent of the availability of water at the roots) can create temperature differences, which result in thermal crop marks that are potentially visible at any time during crop growth. Thermal imaging can also reveal archaeological residues as a result of thermal inertia (storage heater effect) or differential evaporation. The interaction of the processes involved can be complex and the prediction of optimal imaging time, for a given site, further complicated by environmental conditions including temperature variation and relative humidity. Thermal inertia and differential transpiration/evaporation are involved.

The usefulness of cropmarks to archaeologists has largely been a fruit of inspection from aircraft, but the possibility was suggested by Rev. Gilbert White in The Natural History of Selborne (1789), in a note appended to his Letter VI, to Thomas Pennant, apropos of local people's success in searching for bog oak for house construction, by discovering these trees "by the hoar frost, which lay longer over the space where they were concealed, than on the surrounding morass." To White it suggested the query "might not such observations be reduced to domestic use, by promoting the discovery of old obliterated drains and wells about houses; and in Roman stations and camps lead to the finding of pavements, baths and graves, and other hidden relics of curious antiquity?"

Examples
Examples of archaeological sites where cropmarks have been observed are Balbridie and Fetteresso in Scotland.

In 2009, investigation of crop marks near Stonehenge revealed a variety of 6,000-year-old prehistoric subterranean structures.

Another example is the rediscovery of the Roman city Altinum, a precursor to the city of Venice, from a combination of visible and near-infrared photos of the area taken during a drought in 2007, which stressed the maize and soy crops.

The multi period site at Mucking was discovered as a result of aerial photographs showing cropmarks and soil marks. The earliest photographs to reveal the site were taken by the Luftwaffe in 1943. The importance of the site was recognised following photographs taken by Kenneth Joseph in 1959 (published in 1964). In 1982, Margaret Jones (site director at the Mucking excavation) said that some sites were being interpreted on crop mark evidence alone. She said that some features do not produce crop marks and that some crop marks, when excavated, turn out not to be what they seem.

Multihoming

Multihoming is the practice of connecting a host or a computer network to more than one network. This can be done in order to increase reliability or performance.

A typical host or end-user network is connected to just one network. Connecting to multiple networks can increase reliability because if one connection fails, packets can still be routed through the remaining connection. Connecting to multiple networks can also improve performance because data can be transmitted and received through the multiple connections simultaneously multiplying throughput and, depending on the destination, it may be more efficient to route through one network or the other.

Variants
There are several different ways to perform multihoming.

Host multihoming
A single host may be connected to multiple networks. For example, a mobile phone might be simultaneously connected to a WiFi network and a 3G network, and a desktop computer might be connected to both a home network and a VPN. A multihomed host usually is assigned multiple addresses, one per connected network.

Classic multihoming
In classic multihoming, a network is connected to multiple providers, and uses its own range of addresses (typically from a Provider Independent (PI) range). The network's edge routers communicate with the providers using a dynamic routing protocol, typically BGP, which announces the network's address range to all providers. If one of the links fails, the dynamic routing protocol recognizes the failure within seconds or minutes, and reconfigures its routing tables to use the remaining links, transparently to the hosts.

Classic multihoming is costly, since it requires the use of address space that is accepted by all providers, a public Autonomous System (AS) number, and a dynamic routing protocol. Since multihomed address space cannot be aggregated, it causes growth of the global routing table.

Multihoming with multiple addresses
In this approach, the network is connected to multiple providers, and assigned multiple address ranges, one for each provider. Hosts are assigned multiple addresses, one for each provider.

Multihoming with multiple addresses is cheaper than classic multihoming, and can be used without any cooperation from the providers (e.g. in a home network) but requires additional technology in order to perform routing:
 * for incoming traffic, hosts must be associated with multiple A or AAAA DNS records so that they are reachable through all providers;
 * for outgoing traffic, a technique such as source-specific routing must be used to route packets through the correct provider, and reasonable source address selection policies must be implemented by hosts.

Caveats
When multihoming is used to improve reliability, care must be taken to eliminate any single point of failure (SPOF):
 * Upstream connectivity: A given network operations center must have multiple upstream links to independent providers. Furthermore, to lessen the possibility of simultaneous damage to all upstream links, the physical location of each of these upstream links should be physically diverse: far enough apart that a piece of machinery (such as a backhoe) won't accidentally sever all connections at the same time.
 * Routers: Routers and switches must be positioned such that no single piece of network hardware controls all network access to a given host. In particular, it is not uncommon to see multiple Internet uplinks all converge on a single edge router. In such a configuration, the loss of that single router disconnects the Internet uplink, despite the fact that multiple ISPs are otherwise in use.
 * Host connectivity: A "reliable" host must be connected to the network over multiple network interfaces, each connected to a separate router or switch. Alternatively, and preferably, the function of a given host could be duplicated across multiple computers, each of which is connected to a different router or switch.
 * Referencing entities: Not only must a host be accessible, but in many cases it must also be "referenced" to be useful. For most servers, this means in particular that the name resolution to that server be functional. For example, if the failure of a single element blocks users from properly resolving the DNS name of that server, then the server is effectively inaccessible, despite its otherwise connected state.

By increasing the number of interfaces and links being used and making routing less deterministic, multihoming complicates network administration.

IPv4
Classic multihoming is the dominant technique for IPv4. This requires that a network have its own public IP address range and a public AS number.

While multihoming with multiple addresses has been implemented for IPv4, it is not generally used, as host implementations do not deal well with multiple addresses per interface which requires the use of "virtual interfaces". It is also possible to implement multihoming for IPv4 using multiple NAT gateways.

IPv6
Both classic multihoming and multihoming with multiple addresses may be used in IPv6.

Classic multihoming
Provider Independent Address Space (PI) is available in IPv6. This technique has the advantage of working like IPv4, supporting traffic balancing across multiple providers, and maintaining existing TCP and UDP sessions through cut-overs. Critics say that the increased size of routing tables needed to handle multi-homing in this way will overwhelm current router hardware. Proponents say that new hardware will be able to handle the increase due to cheaper memory, which drops in price according to Moore's law. Proponents also say this is the only viable solution right now, and the worse is better philosophy supports the idea that it is better to deploy an imperfect solution now than a perfect solution after it is too late.

Because many ISPs filter out route announcements with small prefixes, this will generally require a large "ISP-sized" IP allocation, such as a /32, to ensure global reachability. Using such large prefixes is an inefficient use of IPv6's address space; there are only about 4 billion /32 prefixes. However, from a pragmatic perspective, allocating a /32 is equivalent in global address space cost to allocating a single IPv4 address, and this may be acceptable if, as seems to be likely for the foreseeable future, the number of multihomed sites can be numbered only in the millions, as opposed to the many billions of non-multihomed endpoints which are anticipated to comprise the vast majority of IPv6 endpoints. Some regional Internet registries (RIR) such as RIPE have started to allocate /48 from a specific prefix for this purpose. RIPE allocates IPv6 provider-independent address spaces /48 or shorter from 2001:0678::/29.

Multihoming with multiple addresses
Multihoming with multiple addresses has been implemented for IPv6. For outgoing traffic, this requires support on the host, either protocol agnostic (Multipath TCP, SCTP, QUIC, etc.) or specific to IPv6 (e.g. SHIM6).

Other solutions

 * Automated renumbering. If one uplink goes down, all addresses in the network will be renumbered into a new /48 subnet. DNS and firewall records must be updated to redirect traffic to a different /48 subnet. This renumbering will break live TCP and UDP sessions.
 * Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol (LISP)

Talk:Multihoming

NAT-based multihoming
I wrote this then did the Google search (better for the copyright :-) however, looking at this I've noticed that CISCO talks about NAT based multihoming as well. I don't think that's true multihoming, so I haven't mentioned it.

Doesn't make sense
This article should explain what multihoming is in the first sentence, but I read the entire article and I still don't know what multihoming is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.237.248.65 (talk) 11:32, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

LDP multihoming
added LDP multihoming to give readers a chance to see a different "type"/approach to multihoming

Proposed Definition to Multihoming
As there is no concete definition for multihoming, I propose the following definition that is based on understanding from the following RFC document

As per the RFC A "multihomed" site is one with more than one transit provider."Site-multihoming" is the practice of arranging a site to be multihomed.

So I believe a proper defintion would be - Multihoming is a state when a site or node is connected with one or more transit providers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mohitkr05 (talk • contribs) 14:30, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Totally needs a re-write.
Than you for writing this, but it is almost impossible to understand unless you already understand it. When the definition of a word (in this case "multihoming") contains the word itself (again, "multihoming") that's a big clear sign that something's wrong. 76.202.63.233 21:05, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

What are the sources for all these ideas? Specific citations are required.
You need to give credit whence these ideas came. Unless you developed this technology single handed, citations are required to the original bodies of work. It gives credit where it's due and allows the reader to look up the work of those who actually developed this technology. Not doing so is plagiarism. Wikipedia too often poses as a summary of accepted and current knowledge and wants to be respected for that. If this is true, it should make presentations in the same fashion which were developed over hundreds of years of academic inquiry.

In addition please read: Strunk, William. Elements of Style. Ithaca, N.Y.: Priv. print. [Geneva, N.Y.: Press of W.P. Humphrey], 1918; Bartleby.com, 1999. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.162.229.144 (talk) 16:28, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Too specific
This article gives a good description of specific cases of multihoming, but multihoming is a more general concept that simply refers to multiple IPs being hosted by a single operating system. I will consider rewriting portions of this article.

Good start though... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greatwhitesharkbear (talk • contribs) 16:32, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

 * I would argue it is even more general than that. It is really the concept of having more than one network connection. The same concept can apply to any level and any kind of network. And "reliability" is only one reason to do it; there are many others. Best to start with the general definitions, then cite some examples. W Nowicki (talk) 21:38, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Does the final paragraph belong here?
The final paragraph that starts: "Mono-homing applies if users are affiliating with a single platform. From consumers’ perspective, using ..." doesn't seem (to me) to have anything to do with the subject. If it does, it needs a rewrite. -- Dougher (talk) 17:36, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Interface vs link, what's the difference?
What's the difference between an "interface" (Multiple interfaces) and a "link" (Single link, Multiple links)? The article doesn't make this clear -- interface and link aren't defined here and there are no hyperlinks to definitions. -- Dougher (talk) 18:37, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Rewrite of beginning of article
I've rewritten the beginning of the article, in a way that I hope is both more correct and more clear. I'll wait a few days for feedback, then, assuming nobody disagrees, I'll rewrite the rest of the article in the same style and add some references. Jec (talk) 23:18, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

 * I like that you've reduced the amount of jargon and clumsy language in the new version. Good work! You should work on reducing or avoiding parenthetical expressions. I'm not sure why you removed this ref: . ~Kvng (talk) 02:04, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

 * I've removed the whole section where the reference appeared ("Risks related to multihoming"), since it's not specific to multihoming, and seems non-encyclopedic to me. If you feel that the citation is relevant, please feel free to reinstate it. Jec (talk) 01:03, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Done rewriting the article. I've allowed myself to remove the multiple issues tag. --Jec (talk) 13:38, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Multihoming vs. peering
I am reading the sixth edition of the Computer Networking - A Top-Down Approach, and on pages 59 to 60 it defines multi-homing and peering within the context of a simplified model of the Internet. Within a hierarchy of ISPs, where Tier 1 ISPs are at the top, lower-tier ISPs may multi-home to multiple upper-tier ISPs, which typically requires payment. Peering is different in that it is between ISPs at the same level in the hierarchy, and typically does not involve payment. Is this a common distinction? If so, maybe the introduction of this article should be made clearer. --IvarTJ (talk) 22:31, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

 * It sounds like what is being discussed there is what's covered in the Classical multihoming section of the article. A summary of this in the lead would be welcome. There are at least two separate networking concepts being covered here. If expanded, the lead needs to make that clear. ~Kvng (talk) 01:44, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Classic, not classical
I see the usage of the word classical, which refers to the Greek and Roman traditions used interchangeably with the word classic. "Classical multihoming", should be "classic multihoming". There was no network connections that I know from in the Classical Tradition. Tonskimojster (talk) 17:25, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

 * I don't see classic or classical used in any of the current supporting sources or other sources I found in research. I'm changing classic to network. Although network multihoming also does not appear in the sources, it is at least descriptive of the application. Network multihoming is in contrast to host multihoming ~Kvng (talk) 14:14, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Network multihoming refers to multihoming at the network level, as opposed to host multihoming. I'm reverting your change. Jec (talk) 19:06, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Jec, it looks to me from your terse reply like we're in agreement so I don't understand the revert. Can you provide a definition for classic multihoming? ~Kvng (talk) 19:24, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Classic multihoming and multihoming with multiple addresses are two techniques that can be used to implement network multihoming. While classic multihoming is the most common technique for network multihoming, it is not correct to rename classic multihoming to network multihoming, since there are other techniques for network multihoming than just classic multihoming. Jec (talk) 11:46, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I guess I'll answer my own question. I assume classical multihoming is multihoming scenario #3 in the O'Reilly source and the only type described in the Cisco source. ~Kvng (talk) 22:48, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Almost right: both (2) and (3) in the O'Reilly source describe classical multihoming. Most sources only describe classical multihoming, since it is the form of multihoming that's actively being marketed.  The other forms of multihoming do not necessarily require cooperation from the service provider, and are therefore neglected in the literature. Jec (talk) 10:55, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Talk:The Great Kat

Untitled
I have confirmed via a spirited telephone call by her that the text of the biography submitted here was submitted by The Great Kat herself, and is not a copyright infringer.

She was upset by what she took to be an accusation by us that The Great Kat herself was a copyright infringer, which is of course not true, and which of course no one here ever said or even implied.

Great Kat, let me repeat that the actions taken by Moncrief were not in any way suggestive that you personally are a copyright infringer. As we had no way of knowing that you were submitting your own biography, he acted solely to protect your rights. He listed the _page_ on a list of potential copyright problems, he did not say or even imply that the Great Kat is a copyright infringer.

Jimbo Wales 22:15, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

Please note the above comment refers to a previous version of this article which has subsequently been completely replaced

old vfd "debate":

This isn't actually a VFD, more of a notice of deletion posted here because I don't know where else to bring it up. The Great Kat herself, a heavy metal guitarist of some minor fame, called me twice yesterday with many incoherent claims about this page and so on.

The basic story is that she posted her PR puff piece autobiography on the site, but anonymously, and a sysop did the right thing -- treated it as a potential copyright violation, cleared the text, posted on copyright problems page, etc. The Great Kat was deeply offended by this, and called me making wild legal threats and explaining how we are ruining her career by calling her a copyright violator.

Of course, we did not call her a copyright violator, and no reasonable person could conclude from any of the pages in question that we were saying anything of the sort. It wouldn't occur to anyone, even, I don't think.

Nonetheless, even my reversion of the page was inadequate for her, and she now is bitching and moaning about her name appearing anywhere on the site, and threatening me with legal action if I don't remove the pages from the archive, etc.

Well, forget that. I've had enough. I've deleted the article that she wrote, both as a courtesy to her because she obviously doesn't want her text used on our site anymore, but also because it was self-serving crap anyway.

Poking around on the net, she's a very, uhm, interesting character about whom we should have an article anyway. A real article, an NPOV article. It should be neutral, fair, objective, and true. We may rest assured that she is going to have her attorney scrutinizing it very carefully lest we say anything libelous about her, so be more careful than normal about that.

I do not fear any actual legal action from her. It would cost her a ton of money to pursue this, and it's just a completely baseless claim in the first place. Any responsible attorney will tell her that. Based on my experience last night on the phone with her, though, I'm not sure she will stop screaming long enough to actually listen to reason.

So, anyhow, that's why I just deleted the article without listing it here first. Jimbo Wales 19:01, 8 May 2004 (UTC)

 * I think that what Moncrief wrote was perfectly acceptable and constructive. This user was already acting in a confrontational way. In that situation we need to politely set limits, and sometimes the reaction will be this. Even in hindsight, I don't see what else could have been done. Andrewa 07:20, 10 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Wrong I think. Anon posted copyvio. With minutes it is covered up. Anon thinks "Hmm, it's ok, I wrote it so no-ones going to sue" and puts the work back. Moncrief makes an aggressive comment on the talk page, without explaining why copyvios are important (admittedly it would be good if anons/newbies could be trusted to read the copyvio message, but they can't, so we have to suck it up). Newbie flies off the handle at the tone, and phones Jimbo. If we had said "all we need to know is if it is your work, then we can keep it and edit it to meet our other policies and guidelines" then maybe the newbie would've understood.
 * So you're saying it's perfectly acceptable for newbies to post copyvios and we're not supposed to do anything about it? RickK 19:52, 9 May 2004 (UTC)
 * No, I think he's saying that one should be polite and friendly in explaining to new users that they shouldn't do this. Snowspinner 20:55, 9 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Exactly right, Snowspinner. That sharp message was left after the newbie had only once tried to restore her text. Lots of newbies don't quite understand what is going on when edits come rapidly. We should have some patience. Although we've heard the copyvio process a million times, it's their first time. Some of the aggressive old-timers should put themselves in the shoes of a newbie occasionally. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 15:47, 10 May 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm in full agreement. We must assume all first posters have no clue about fundamental rules. Hell, lots of us who have been here for a while still run into things we weren't aware of. I think Moncrief's statement was far too harsh given the circumstance, and while I thank him for being on guard, I also think newbies should be encouraged leave the posting of such messages to others. I'm sure Ms. Kat's page would be a most interesting one, though it might be a bit tricky to get her to see the merits of NPOV... Denni 19:24, 2004 May 14 (UTC)
 * Comment: I couldn't help but wonder why "lockjaw" came up.  Then I saw the reason why.  Interesting.  :^P  I have no real objection to the stub as it is despite the poster's overreaction, but who the hell is going to wander onto this site looking for information on this individual?  On the other hand, this just may be the next "CoolDude."  BEWARE:  SHE IS LOOSING HER PATIENTS!  Jimbo, you handled it better than I would have, BTW. - Lucky 6.9 18:34, 10 May 2004 (UTC)
 * I checked her website, and some-one does indeed seem to be biting the newbie. As they are wearing a hood, I assume that they are one of our anonymous contributors (please stop it or you will be reverted again). Jimbo, don't be concerned about the screaming - in some cases it's an occupational hazard of playing loud music. --Zigger 19:02, 2004 May 13 (UTC)

My god... Someone even more full of themselves than Yngwie. Too bad she doesn't even have the skill to back up all the BS. (Come on, she has a song title called "worship me or die" and claims to be the reincarnation of beethoven. AshTM 04:46, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Full of herself...or something else. Completely not an NPOV, but she does nothing for me. So she's fast...so are others...so she's classically trained...so are others. BFD. From what I've heard of her stuff, I'd rather hear Tony Iommi, Ritchie Blackmore or Brian May. If she started screaming at me, I'd just let her scream until she was out of energy.--MarshallStack 06:21, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Juillard
Using her own web site, an interview with her, or a Wordpress blog is not acceptable citations for proving she went to Juillard.

so, you're saying that Juilliard is not a reliable source? I don't call interviews a reliable source no matter where they come from. I agree. this should be marked as disputed.

Shadow marks

Shadow marks (shadow relief) are a form of archaeological feature visible from the air. Unlike cropmarks, frost marks and soil marks they require upstanding features to work and are therefore more commonly seen in the context of extant sites rather than previously undiscovered buried ones.

They are caused by the differences in height on the ground produced by archaeological remains. In the case of ancient, eroded earthworks these differences are often small and they are most apparent when viewed from the air, when the sun is low in the sky. This causes long shadows to be cast by the higher features, which are illuminated from one side by the sun, with dark shadows marking hollows and depressions.

Artificial shadow marks can be created easily by constructing a virtual model of a site by merging aerial images (Photogrammetry) and then vectoring in a virtual light source from any direction and at any angle.

Charles Strouse

Charles Strouse (born June 7, 1928) is an American composer and lyricist best known for writing the music to such Broadway musicals as Bye Bye Birdie, Applause, and Annie.

Life and career
Strouse was born in New York City, to Jewish parents, Ethel (née Newman) and Ira Strouse, who worked in the tobacco business. A graduate of the Eastman School of Music, he studied under Arthur Berger, David Diamond, Aaron Copland and Nadia Boulanger.

Strouse's first Broadway musical was Bye Bye Birdie, with lyrics by Lee Adams, which opened in 1960. Adams became his long-time collaborator. For this show, Strouse won his first Tony Award in the category of best musical.

Strouse's next show was All American (1962), with a book by Mel Brooks and lyrics by Adams; it was not a success, closing after 80 performances, but it produced the standard “Once Upon a Time” (recorded by Perry Como, Eddie Fisher, Al Martino, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, and Bobby Darin, among dozens of others).

Following this was Golden Boy (1964, also with Adams), starring Sammy Davis Jr., which ran for 568 performances. The musical It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman (1966, based on the popular comic strip) closed after 129 performances, but introduced the song "You've Got Possibilities" sung by Linda Lavin. Its theme would also be adopted by Washington, D.C. television station WTOP (now WUSA) for news broadcasts.

In 1970, Applause (starring Lauren Bacall, with book by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, and lyrics by Adams) won Strouse his second Tony Award, for Best Musical. In 1977, Strouse adapted another comic strip for the stage, creating the hit Annie, which included the song "Tomorrow," which quickly became a "monstrous song hit," and garnered him his third Tony Award and two Grammy Awards.

Other Strouse musicals include Charlie and Algernon (1979), Dance a Little Closer (1983, with lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, which closed after one performance), Rags (1986; which closed after four performances and 18 previews), Nick & Nora (1993, which closed after 9 performances), and An American Tragedy (1995, with lyrics by David Shaber, performed at Muhlenberg College).

Strouse also wrote musical revues, many with Adams, and his songs were included in revues. The revues included Shoestring Revue (with Adams and Michael Stewart) (1955 – Off–Broadway), Medium Rare (with Adams) (1960 - Chicago), By Strouse (1978 – Off–Broadway at The Ballroom), Upstairs At O'Neals (1982 – Nightclub Revue), Can't Stop Dancin (1994 – Marymount Theatre), and A Lot Of Living! (1996 – conceived and directed by Barbara Siman at Rainbow and Stars).

Strouse wrote the music and lyrics for the animated special Lyle, Lyle Crocodile which aired on HBO in 1987. His film scores include Bonnie and Clyde (1967), There Was a Crooked Man... (1970, with Henry Fonda and Kirk Douglas), the Norman Lear production of The Night They Raided Minsky's (1968, with Adams) and the popular animated movie All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989). He and Adams also wrote the theme song “Those Were the Days” for the Norman Lear television show All in the Family. Strouse's songs have been heard on the radio throughout his career and have run the gamut from girl-band pop to hip hop. In 1958, his song “Born Too Late” was number seven on the Billboard charts, and in 1999 the quadruple platinum Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem) by artist Jay-Z (which sampled "It's The Hard Knock Life" from Annie) was the winner of a Grammy for Best Rap Album of the year & the Billboard R&B Album of the Year.

Strouse's writing also extends into orchestral works, chamber music, piano concertos and opera. His Concerto America, composed in 2002 to commemorate 9/11 and the spirit of New York City, premiered at The Boston Pops in 2002, and his opera Nightingale (1982), starring Sarah Brightman, had a successful run in London, followed by many subsequent productions. In 1977, Strouse founded the ASCAP Musical Theatre Workshop in New York, through which many young composers and lyricists have found a forum for their work.

A musical stage adaptation of the Paddy Chayefsky film Marty starring John C. Reilly premiered at Boston's Huntington Theatre in October 2002, with lyrics by Lee Adams and Strouse and the book by Rupert Holmes. Real Men, for which Strouse wrote the music and lyrics, premiered in January 2005 at the Coconut Grove Playhouse in Miami, Florida, and his musical Studio, premiered at Theatre Building Chicago in August 2006. The musical Minsky's, with music by Strouse, book by Bob Martin, and lyrics by Susan Birkenhead (loosely based on the movie The Night They Raided Minsky's) premiered in January 2009 at the Ahmanson Theater.

Strouse won Emmy Awards for music in television adaptions of Bye Bye Birdie and Annie. He is also the recipient of the 1999 ASCAP Foundation Richard Rodgers Award and the Oscar Hammerstein Award. He is a member of the American Theater Hall of Fame (in 2001) and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Strouse was married to director-choreographer Barbara Siman until her death on February 16, 2023. They had 4 children: Benjamin, Nicholas, Victoria and William.

Strouse received an Emperor Has No Clothes Award at the Freedom From Religion Foundation's 34th annual national convention on October 8, 2011. The award is "reserved for public figures who make known their dissent from religion".

Barry Trotz

Barry Trotz (born July 15, 1962) is a Canadian ice hockey executive, former player and coach. He is the general manager for the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League (NHL). Prior to that he served as an advisor to General Manager David Poile. He is the former head coach of the Nashville Predators, Washington Capitals and New York Islanders. Trotz is known for his defensive-minded coaching style and is currently ranked third all-time in NHL coaching wins, behind only Scotty Bowman and Joel Quenneville. He is often referred to by fans and players as "Trotzy".

He was previously the coach of the American Hockey League (AHL)'s Baltimore Skipjacks and Portland Pirates, with whom he won an AHL championship in 1994. That same year, he won the Louis A.R. Pieri Memorial Award, which is awarded to the outstanding coach in the AHL as voted upon by the AHL Broadcasters and Writers. On February 20, 2013, Lindy Ruff was fired by the Buffalo Sabres, making Trotz the longest-tenured head coach in the NHL. He was also the second-longest tenured coach in the four major North American professional leagues, behind only Gregg Popovich of the National Basketball Association's San Antonio Spurs. On April 14, 2014, the Predators announced Trotz would not return for his 16th season as head coach. On May 26, 2014, Trotz was announced as the new head coach of the Capitals. On June 7, 2018, Trotz won his first Stanley Cup as the head coach, with the Capitals defeating the Vegas Golden Knights in five games, for the franchise's first Stanley Cup championship. On June 21, 2018, Trotz was announced as the new head coach of the Islanders. The Islanders let him go at the end of the 2021–22 season, when the team missed the playoffs.

Early years
Before becoming a coach, Trotz played as a defenceman for the Western Hockey League (WHL)'s Regina Pats from 1979 to 1982, winning the WHL Championship in 1980. During that time, Trotz played in 191 games, scoring 15 goals, adding 60 assists and accumulating 324 penalty minutes. Trotz played his final year of junior hockey in his home town of Dauphin, Manitoba, where the Kings won the Manitoba Junior Hockey League title as well as the Anavet Cup.

Trotz said he realized his playing was not good enough for an NHL career, and started having doubts about his future. He wound up getting a spot attending training camp for the American Hockey League (AHL)'s Hershey Bears in 1982 thanks to Jack Button, director of player recruitment at the Bears' NHL parent club, the Washington Capitals. Button said to Trotz he was invited because Button believed Trotz "might be a good minor league leader or a coach someday". Trotz began his coaching career as an assistant coach at the University of Manitoba in 1984. The following season, he became the general manager and head coach for the Dauphin Kings. In 1987, he returned to the University of Manitoba as head coach, while also serving as a part-time scout for the Washington Capitals.

Trotz became the head coach for the Capitals' minor league affiliate, the Baltimore Skipjacks, in 1992. On March 26, 1993, the franchise moved to Portland, Maine, and was renamed the Portland Pirates. Trotz led the Pirates to two Calder Cup Finals, winning the Calder Cup in the Pirates' inaugural season of 1994.

Nashville Predators (1998–2014)
When longtime Capitals general manager David Poile was hired by the newly established Nashville Predators, he decided to bring Trotz along to become the team's first head coach. He was named the head coach of the Predators on August 6, 1997. Even before the team began play, Trotz was involved in the Predators expansion process, doing player scouting and helping design the team facilities at the Nashville Arena.

In the debut of both Trotz and the Predators at the 1998–99 NHL season, the team won 28 games, the third highest for an expansion team to date. He holds the record for most games coached by the first coach of an NHL expansion franchise, previously held by Terry Crisp for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Coincidentally, Crisp now works as a radio and TV broadcaster for the Predators. In a November 4, 2008, game against the Vancouver Canucks, Trotz became just the tenth head coach in NHL history to coach 750 games with a single team, and the 31st to reach that mark overall.

The 2006–07 season was Trotz's most successful season, leading the Predators to the second-most points in the Western Conference and third overall at 110. However, they trailed their division rival the Detroit Red Wings, therefore denying them the first division championship in club history. The Predators would fare no better in the playoffs, losing 4–1 to the San Jose Sharks in the opening round just as they did the year before. Trotz finished fourth in the Jack Adams Award voting at season's end, but was voted by his peers Sporting News NHL Coach of the Year. He is well respected around the NHL for keeping his team focused. He led the Predators to four consecutive playoff appearances from 2003 to 2008, and reached the playoffs again in 2009–10. Shortly after being eliminated by the Chicago Blackhawks in six games, on April 28, 2010, Trotz was named a finalist for the Jack Adams Award for NHL coach of the year alongside Joe Sacco of the Colorado Avalanche and Dave Tippett of the Phoenix Coyotes.

Trotz earned his 500th win with a 4–1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on March 30, 2012.

On April 14, 2014, the Predators announced Trotz would not return for his 16th season as head coach. The Predators hired Peter Laviolette as Trotz's replacement on May 6, 2014. Trotz's 1,196 regular season games coached puts him 14th on the all-time coaching list, and his tenure with the Predators was the longest unbroken coaching stretch in league history.

Washington Capitals (2014–2018)
Despite the Predators inviting Trotz to work in their hockey operations department, he wanted to keep coaching. Eventually the Washington Capitals, the same team that gave Trotz his first opportunities in professional hockey, hired him on May 26, 2014.

On February 28, 2017, Trotz recorded his 700th win with a 4–1 victory over the New York Rangers, and became the sixth NHL coach to reach 700 wins.

In the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs, the Capitals trailed in each of their playoff series matchups, which started by losing the first two games of the First Round to Columbus before Washington won the next four, including a victory in Columbus for the deciding game. They faced the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins in the Semifinals and reached a 2–2 series tie with one win and one loss at home and on the road, before seizing the upper hand with a critical 6–3 victory at home for Game 5 and finally finishing them off 2–1 in overtime at Pittsburgh in Game 6 on a goal by Evgeny Kuznetsov to advance to the Conference Finals. It was both their first Conference Finals appearance since 1998 and the first time Trotz had advanced past the second round as a coach. The Capitals faced the Tampa Bay Lightning and won the first two games before three straight losses (two at home) had Washington face elimination. They then won Game 6 and Game 7 with shutout performances (including winning Game 7 in Tampa) to overcome a 3–2 series deficit for the first time in franchise history after a Game 5 loss and reach the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1998. In the Stanley Cup Finals, they met the Vegas Golden Knights, an expansion team that won 51 games. The Capitals lost Game 1 6–4 in Vegas but rebounded with the efforts of Braden Holtby in preserving a late 3–2 lead to win Game 2. Trotz and the Capitals rolled to routs in Game 3 and 4 to set up a potential clinching Game 5 (hosted in Las Vegas), the first in Capitals history. On June 7, the Capitals won a tight Game 5 by a score of 4–3, with the final goal scored by Lars Eller, to clinch the Stanley Cup for the Capitals, with this being the first title for Trotz as head coach after 19 seasons, the longest such wait in NHL history. On June 18, 2018, Trotz resigned from the Capitals as their head coach due to a contract dispute.

New York Islanders (2018–2022)
On June 21, 2018, the New York Islanders hired Trotz as head coach. On March 5, 2019, Trotz earned his 800th career win when the Islanders defeated the Ottawa Senators 5–4 after a shootout In the Stanley Cup playoffs, the Islanders swept the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round and then were swept by the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round. On June 19, 2019, Trotz won the Jack Adams Award for a second time.

On August 20, 2020, the Islanders defeated Trotz's former team, the Washington Capitals, who he previously coached to a Stanley Cup championship in 2018, 4–1 in the first round of the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs.

After a win over the New York Rangers on February 8, 2021, Trotz earned his 850th career win as NHL head coach and passed Ken Hitchcock for third place on the all-time coach wins list.

On May 9, 2022, Trotz was relieved from his duties as the Islanders head coach as the Islanders missed the playoffs for the first time since 2018.

Agyia

Agyia (Αγυιά) is a neighborhood of the city of Patras, Greece. It is located about 3.5 km north of downtown Patras. The community forms the mid-northern part of the city of Patras (except 1 km north of Old GR-9 by-pass). Most of the street names are named after rivers. The town includes the church of St. Constantine (Aghios Konstantinos).

History
The community used to be a village, but Patras's expansion engulfed it during the 1970s and the 1980s. A highway bypass (2.5 km) was built in 1995, which reduced traffic.

The section of north Patras is divided into Meso (Inner) Agyias and Exo (Outer) Agyias. Its nearest subdivision (excluding Patras) are Skioessa. Agricultural lands lie to the north and urban sprawl in central and southern areas.

The main street is Leoforos Panepistimiou (University Avenue), which leads to the University Town outside Patras (near Rio). Other streets include Afstralias, Agiou Konstantinou or Agyia, Aretha, and Notara. The EOK campground is northwest of the center on Iroon Polytechneiou Street.

The Achaiki confection factory was located at the corner of Notara and Panepistimiou; it produced loukoumia (Turkish delight), vanilla sweets, and koufeta (Jordan almonds). The business was established in 1925 by Vassilios Manoussos (1900–1985) and was continued by his son, Konstantinos (1929–1997). Within the grounds of the old factory and by the Agyia creek, is a large maple tree, over 300 years old, a local landmark. About 500 metres north of the maple tree, an ancient Roman bridge (excavated in 1984) was discovered. It is said that Saint Paul and Saint Andrews (the city of Patra's patron saint) both walked on this bridge.

Sporting teams
There are two football clubs, Agyia AU and Panionios Achilleas Agyia both playing in the fourth division of the EPS Achaia. Kostas Davourlis Stadium of Panachaiki is located also in the area.

Dagenham Dock railway station

Dagenham Dock is a National Rail station in the Dagenham Dock neighbourhood of Dagenham in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, east London. The station is on the Tilbury loop of the London, Tilbury and Southend line, located 10 mi down the line from London Fenchurch Street between Barking to the west and Rainham to the east. The station was opened in 1908 by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway. The station serves a primarily industrial area adjacent to the River Thames, including the Ford Dagenham site, that is now going through redevelopment as a commercial and residential district. Its three-letter station code is DDK and it is in London fare zone 5. The station and all trains serving it are currently operated by c2c. It is an interchange with the East London Transit bus service.

History
The station opened on 1 July 1908 on the original route of the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway, but was not one of the original stations.

On 18 December 1931, a freight train became divided at Dagenham Dock. Due to a signalman's error, a passenger train ran into the rear portion of the freight. Two people were killed and several were injured in the incident.

Design
The station consists of two side platforms with a small entrance building to the northern (down) platform. Within the station a footbridge connects the platforms. An accessible footbridge with stairs and lifts outside the station connects the northern entrance building with the East London Transit terminal to the south. The external footbridge also provides step-free lift access with the southern (up) platform.

High Speed 1 and some freight tracks run parallel, however these are not directly accessible from the platforms. The elevated A13 road runs above the eastern ends of the platform.

Location
The station is located on Chequers Lane in the Dagenham Dock neighbourhood. London Buses route 145 serves the northern side of the station, while route EL2 operates from the East London Transit terminal to the south of the station.

Services
As of the June 2024 timetable the typical Monday to Friday off-peak service is:
 * 2 tph (trains per hour) westbound to London Fenchurch Street
 * 2 tph eastbound to Grays

Redevelopment
Although the station is relatively poorly served and located in an industrial area, there are plans to redevelop the area as London Riverside. Under these plans the station has become the southern terminus of phase one of the East London Transit and it was proposed that an eastern extension of the Docklands Light Railway would terminate here.

In October 2021, planning permission was given by Barking and Dagenham Council to Inland Homes for 380 new homes and a new public square to the north of the station.

In November 2022, Peabody was given planning permission for the first 935 of 3,500 homes in the Dagenham Green development on part of the former Ford Dagenham site to the northeast of the station.

The consolidated Dagenham Dock wholesale market is proposed for the southeast of the station on the former Barking Reach Power Station site.

Beam Park railway station is planned to be constructed as a new station to the east of Dagenham Dock.

Ripple Lane
Situated to the immediate west of the station, the Ripple Lane inter-modal freight depot was originally developed to supply parts from across Europe to the Ford Dagenham plant. Today it has become a base for various continental freight services.

In 2009 Stobart Rail commenced a new, weekly refrigerated train service, operated in conjunction with DB Schenker. The 1100 mi from Valencia in Spain terminates at Ripple Lane, providing for an alternative to lorries for the import of fresh Spanish produce. The first fully refrigerated goods service to run through the Channel Tunnel, it is currently the longest train journey in Europe by a single operator. On the return journey to Spain, the train carries pallets for CHEP.
